The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 123 The Edict to

When all the dead soldiers were buried, Liu Xia walked to the front of those graves. At this time, a personal guard brought a bowl of wine from nowhere. Liu Xiazhuang was so heavy that he finished the bowl of wine, and then looked sadly at the loyal soldiers who had been buried in the ground for a long time.

"Today is your rest day, and your credit will not be forgotten! I swear that as long as I and my descendants are still there for one day, I will not forget you! You must come to worship every Tomb-sweeping Day!"

"General!"

"General! Long live!" The word long live was originally said to the emperor, but no one cares about this detail at this time. Even if there seems to be a suspicion of conspiracy, they don't care about it. There are few emperors who are really loyal to him in this troubled times.

The shout was louder than a loud voice, and the soldiers were excited. What a great honor!

The guards brought a bowl of wine to most of the officers present, and the officers above the school level were standing behind Liu Xia at this time, doing the same action as Liu Xia.

"Although you have sacrificed, your souls are still there! Your souls will live forever! Your death is more important than Mount Tai. For the sake of the country and the sake of the nation, you should be proud!"

"Did you see it? Here, on this land, you defeated the enemy and traitors and traitors with your weapons and comrades. You die for the sake of the nation, and you have infinite glory.

Liu Xia said excitedly to the more than 300 tombs with words she could imagine. Even the living soldiers couldn't help but boil their blood when they heard it.

"You didn't have many opportunities to drink because of the constraints of military discipline. Today, you can drink a lot. I will give you a bowl first!" After Liu Xia said that, she poured the bowl of wine in her hand on the ground. At the same time, the soldiers behind Liu Xia also followed Liu Xia's movements and poured a bowl of wine into the ground.

The aroma of wine suddenly spread everywhere in the air. These wines are the best wine Liu Xia found in Luoyang City. They are all decades old. When these soldiers were alive, they might not have had a chance to drink such a good wine at all.

When the application time is held in the afternoon (three o'clock), everything is basically busy.

Liu Xia attached great importance to this cemetery, and even sent a squadron of soldiers to guard it, and ordered a cemetery management team, which is a squadron, drawn from the logistics department.

At this time, Wang En came over and said to Liu Xiagong, "General, now this cemetery has been basically planned. Only some buildings can be built here. I wonder if the general can give this cemetery a name?"

After listening to this, Liu Xia immediately thought about it. After a while, Liu Xia said solemnly, "Let's call it the Soul of War!"

"The Soul of War Mausoleum?" Wang En muttered, "General, this Lingzi..."

The mausoleum is an exclusive name for the tombs of some dead emperors, such as the Zhaoling of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called Maoling. And some saints are called Lin, such as Kong Lin of Confucius, and the place where Guan Yu died is called Guan Lin. The graves of ordinary people are called graves. In ancient feudal society, it could not be called at will.

But Liu Xia didn't think so much. These dead soldiers died for the sake of the nation. The death was heavy and the greatness of death. What's the matter? The princes and generals have no more or less contributions to the country and the nation, which is not as good as these soldiers.

Liu Xia has heard Wang En's words and naturally knows what Wang En means. It's just that this is a little too much. However, Liu Xia didn't mean it, so she said, "Just call it this name. They are entitled to this name!" You don't have to say any more. I have the final say here.

After a while, after the name of the cemetery was announced, there was a sound of consternment among the soldiers.

Even ordinary and uneducated soldiers know what this mausoleum means. Originally, this cemetery has a special meaning and has a special treatment, which has made many soldiers think that they will be buried in this place after death, but as soon as this word comes out, more soldiers can join the idea and die. Later, you can have the treatment of the emperor. You can't ask for it!

For honor, for the nation! I'd rather die than give in! After death, you must enter the Soul of War Mausoleum!

"Have the planning drawings of the Soul of War Mausoleum been completed?" Liu Xia asked Wang En, who frowned a little.

Wang En was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses and said, "General, according to the general's requirements, the drawn drawings are now ready. The drawings will soon be handed over to the people who are responsible for building the Soul of War and the Soul of War Mausoleum.

Liu Xia nodded and said with satisfaction, "This War Soul Mausoleum must be built for the general. In the process of construction, the buried soldiers must not be disturbed, otherwise the top of the general will be forgiven!"

"Yes!"

When it came to Xu, Liu Xiafang returned to Pingbei Bofu. At this time, Zhang Liang of the New Corps led the New Corps and Bian Yujing and others to Luoyang City.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Bian Yujing and Bian Min arranged to live in the place that Liu Xia had already decided before, and then summoned most of the generals to the hall of Pingbei Bofu to welcome the imperial edict.

Although Liu Xia basically doesn't care much about anything now, after all, he still abides by the Emperor of Nanming in name, so this situation still has to go. With the imperial edict of Nanming, at least everything Liu Xia does is orthodox.

In the room of the hall, at this time, the Duke Guo stood on top of the hall, and then Liu Xia led more than a dozen generals to kneel down below. This was Liu Xia's first kneeling in the world.

Grandpa Guo did not dare to show off, because when he was in Fenshui City, he was already deeply afraid of the Pingbei Army. He dared to believe that if he put on airs, even if Liu Xia did not attack at the scene, he might die inexplicably halfway back.

In fact, everyone is very clear about the situation of the imperial court today. Nanming wants to perish quickly. The generals with heavy fists in various places are no different from the ancient princes, but the name has been changed, and now it is called the commander-in-chief.

Eunuch Guo behaved respectfully and did not dare to make any mistakes. Although he came here to read the edict on behalf of the emperor, he could not show it at all.

"Feng Tian Cheng Yun, the emperor's edict said. Liu Xia, the son of Gao You's general soldier, is good at fighting, winning a hundred battles, and his loyalty is commendable. In fact, he is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty and a great blessing for the nation. This book is awarded the title of the Northern Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, with a hundred taels of silver. "This is it."

A hundred taels of silver? So stingy? This idea came to Liu Xia and others in their minds in an instant. In fact, it is no wonder that the people of Nanming was not written by Emperor Hongguang, but Emperor Hongguang would not write it. Most of Nanming's money was corrupted by officials, and some of it was taken by Emperor Hongguang to build a palace to raise beautiful women to eat, drink and have fun. Where is the extra money in the court?

That is, most of the soldier's military pay has not been paid, let alone too much gold and silver for Liu Xia.

"Thank you for your order!"

"Congratulations to the marquis!"

After saying that, Liu Xia and the soldiers got up from the ground one after another. Liu Xia said, "Your father-in-law has worked hard all the way. That hundred taels of silver can be regarded as a reward for your father-in-law."

To be honest, Liu Xia really looked down on the hundred taels of silver. After coming out of Yangzhou City, Liu Xia attacked a lot of landlord squires and occupied Guidefu for a period of time. In Luoyang City, he took Liu Zhong's accumulated wealth for many years as his own, and also copied the homes of many large squires. This property can be said to be right and wrong. It's a lot. How can you care about a hundred taels?

The father-in-law Guo was suddenly happy, but on the surface he still pretended not to accept it. After all, this is a consistent trick in officialdom. However, after saying no to each other, Mr. Guo still reluctantly accepted it.

The little eunuch who followed Grandpa Guo's good power and bully now has not made a sound at all. From the moment he entered Pingbei Bo's Mansion, his face has not been raised, or he has not dared to raise it in front of outsiders all the way.

That time, Zhang Liang's men were very shocked by him. From then on, when he saw the outsider, the little eunuch was too timid to look up.

"Fair-in-law, Luoyang City is thousands of miles away from the capital. As soon as my father-in-law arrived, he must be tired. It's not too late to leave after taking a rest in Luoyang City for a while." In fact, Liu Xia doesn't want to keep this Euke Guo, but after all, he is in etiquette.

Grandpa Guo doesn't want to stay in this place at all. Although he must be very tired all the way back, in this place, if his hands accidentally provoke people, his life may be in danger, and his life is still important.

I only heard the father-in-law say, "The marquis doesn't have to want to stay. Our family has to go back to return to life. The emperor's order is important. Our family will leave early tomorrow morning."

Mr. Guo said so, and Liu Xia did not say anything to stay, so he ordered a personal guard to take Mr. Guo to a yard to live in, and then walked to the backyard by himself.

Liu Xia hasn't seen Bian Yujing for many days. Now she misses her very much. Although Liu Xia doesn't have too much love for Bian Yujing, it is fake to have no feelings for so long.

In another room, a young woman with a little resentment lay alone in the window and looked at the scenery outside. This person is Kou Baimen. The news of Liu Xia's eldest lady's return has reached her ears, and she may be able to see it tomorrow morning. Liu Xia will definitely not come to her again tonight, but Kou Baimen is just a little resentful. Although a day has passed, she can still feel the pain in her lower body.

Kou Baimen shook his bright red and delicate lips, sighed, and couldn't help chanting, "I hope to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated."
