Chapter 185

The 11 day battle of Duchang is over. Judging from the time and casualties, the price for the Han to capture Duchang city is not big, but this battlefield is really a strange dull.

In the follow-up, the Han ministry needs to clean up the scattered non local personnel in the city. Naturally, it also continues to clean up the bodies in the city.

In the next four days, counting the previous number, they removed 23000 bodies from Duchang City, of which 7000 or 8000 died in a new offensive and defensive war. The rest have been fresh for a long time.

The corpses continuously transported from the city, belonging to the Han Dynasty, will be burned into ashes and will be transported to the other side of huang1 Island District, waiting for the completion of the martyrs' Park for unified resettlement. The corpses that do not belong to the Han Dynasty are more troublesome. Those that have long decayed or become skeletons will be dug and buried, while those that are fresh will be made into Jingguan, and the corpses will be hung in the woods somewhere.

"Is it enough to pile up Jingguan?" LV Yi seemed to have a cold. He coughed several times before he could finish: "the bodies should be burned and buried. Including those semi rotten bodies, burn them all!"

Plague is like a sword hanging in the air. There is a possibility of plague in Duchang city. If you hang human meat strings to frighten the enemy, it will increase the probability of plague.

"Then burn the cover." Liu Yan didn't insist so much, mainly because he was really afraid of the plague. He said, "Long Shi will have a good rest these days. There will be a big war in another ten and a half days."

In such an age without quick acting drugs, it's not funny to be killed by a cold cough, so once you catch the wind cold, you're really walking around the gate of hell.

"The medical officer said it was just a small wind and cold, and a few drugs would eliminate the disease." LV Yi was also afraid of death. He had repeated follow-up visits for many times. It was confirmed that it was really a small wind and cold that made him feel at ease. He said, "Captain Xu, the cavalry is in place?"

There is an enemy approaching Gaomi County. The enemy's marching speed is not fast. They will camp within 30 miles a day, no more than one mile, many miles, which is very rigid.

Xu Zheng returned to Changguang county with his cavalry. The people sent by Liu Yan had entered Changguang county when they contacted them. They were supposed to defend Gaomi County against the enemy's invasion of Changguang county. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gong Tao would shake falsely, but set off towards Beihai county.

Since the enemy's target in Gaomi County is not Changguang County, the strategy previously planned by the Han Dynasty must have relevant adjustments. Liu Yan means that Gaomi County will fight sooner or later. Then, Duchang will fight the 30000 enemy gathered by Mr. Gong Tao. Xu Zheng, as the main general and sang Yu, as a long history, will form an army invading Gaomi County.

There are no fewer troops invading Gaomi County by the Han Dynasty. There are 2000 regular cavalry and nearly 3000 auxiliary cavalry. The Miaodao islands and liao1 East narrow peninsula will transfer 8000 newly formed troops. Together with auxiliary soldiers and civilian men, the number of this partial division has reached 32000, and it is much more refined in "composition" than the troops on Liu Yan's side. Those are the troops who have joined the Han Dynasty for a long time.

After the cavalry was transferred, Liu Yan maintained 3000 system soldiers, 7000 regular troops, 2000 new attached troops and nearly 10000 slave troops. The number of auxiliary soldiers and civilian men is seventeen thousand, but this number will always change.

The slave army is composed of prisoners of war after the surrender of those forces in Duchang city. They are supervised by the new affiliated army with Wang Pu as the chief officer. It can also be regarded as giving the new affiliated army a deeper understanding of the different "classes" in the Han Dynasty.

There are more classes in the Han Dynasty. There are twenty barons among the free people. The soldiers are divided into different forces, including slave army, new attached army, slave army, auxiliary army, war army and elite. Each class has its own treatment, which makes people deeply know how to fight for "people".

"Each meal is limited to porridge and a handful of pickles." Wang Pu is eating steamed bread. His treatment is according to the commander of the war army. There is no limit to wheat steamed bread. There is a small plate of mutton and a pot of boneless soup: "our taxi soldiers will have at least one steamed bread for each meal. The soup is unlimited. Before the war, there were three steamed bread and a salted fish."

Guan Huaixing is a military Marquis of the newly attached army. His treatment is based on the team rate of War soldiers. In addition to unlimited steamed bread, there is a salted fish. There is not much meat in the soup, but there are more oil stars in the soup. He was also eating steamed bread. He ate so much that it was difficult to swallow it mixed with soup. He breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said with relative longing: "we will soon change jobs and become servants and soldiers."

"Win again, just win again!" Wang Pu is more eager to win the war than anyone: "waiting to become a servant from the army is not far from becoming a regular army. At that time, you can record your merit normally and get a title!"

Although he only joined the Ministry of Han for a short time, Wang Puzhen made great efforts to understand the system of the Ministry of Han. He found that the social hierarchy of the Ministry of Han is very strict. Only when he becomes a "meritorious people" can he be qualified to participate in some power related to rights.

Of course, Wang Pu is eager to have rights. There is another urgent thing for him, that is, quickly make contributions to remove his family's slave status, or wait for who is assigned to be a slave. If he wants to redeem it at that time, he will be in great trouble.

Redeeming his family is only the first step. Wang Pu also wants to become a meritorious people. He will not only become a meritorious people, but also climb up from a public scholar to become a shangzao, hairpin, bu Geng, doctor... His wild hope is to at least become a doctor, so that he can become a school captain of the regular army. By then, his family will have all regained their freedom, and with the accumulation of military merit, the family should have beautiful houses and good fields, Those of their children work harder, even if an emerging family has a foothold.

Sure enough, everything is still in the open, so that people know what kind of merit they have made and what treatment they will get in exchange for, so as to make people have a clear ideal of working hard.

Similar to Wang Pu, most people plan their future life. They have their own various goals. The more realistic thing is that if they want to change their destiny, they need war, more war, and the war will never stop.

"Eat quickly. What ceremony will be held there!"

"Ceremony?"

"Yes, it's the convergence ceremony!"

"Convergence?"

Wang Pu swept away the food as quickly as possible. He knew that if he wanted to integrate into a new ethnic group, he needed to know more as much as possible!

It is the convergence ceremony, which is the ceremony of putting the ashes of dead soldiers into cans and writing their names and numbers. (for details, see Lou Jiafan Wai 10 related to the work)

Before Wang Pu arrived at the scene, he heard bursts of songs, which were sung by thousands of people. He listened very solemnly.

"It seems to be... Ode to the first emperor Langya

"Yes, it is the Langya stone carvings written by the sage Lisi."

What is more puzzling is that it is clearly converging on the ashes of soldiers, okay? Shouldn't we choose some sad ones from the "songs of Chu"? What is the special meaning of choosing Langya ode???

I really want to admit that the "Ode to Langya" combined with the brilliant sound makes people feel an inexplicable sense of solemnity and feel like the waves of the long river of history.

When Wang Pu arrived at the scene, the first thing he saw was the very neatly arranged urn. The number was at least thousands. If you want to know the exact number, you can only ask yourself.

"So... We lost so many robes?" With a solemn face, Wang Pu looked at the urn and thought, "it's not good to burn ashes in battle. It should be the whole body buried..."

Guan Huaixing suddenly leaned over and whispered to Wang Pu, "Captain, I see the name of song song."

Wang Pu listened to a stunned God and looked along Guan Huaixing's line of sight. He really saw an urn with the words "song song" written on it.

For example, some caskets have not only names but also numbers on them, while others have only names or numbers.

Wang Pu not only saw a familiar name, but his face looked more solemn. After all, he only focused on participation before. He could see that some soldiers belonging to the new attached army got their ashes. That feeling was not only participation, but also a part of it.

Naturally, Liu Yan was also at the scene. He danced with the cooperation of some people. He was really dancing, but it was definitely not a beautiful dance. It was a foundation dance similar to Nuo dance. As a result, his clothes were replaced with loose white robes.

Foundation laying dance is a general term. Each place has its own Nuo dance with different dancing posture. Liu Yan also knew this after crossing. Similar Nuo dance can not be seen in TianChao in modern times. Instead, it is some countries in the surrounding Chinese cultural circle, such as Bangzi country, Japan, Jiaozhou country, etc. they also preserve similar customs and habits.

The superior need to learn dance is not funny, because all kinds of sacrifices need the superior to lead the dance. Different sacrifices also have different dances.

Isn't it just learning dance? Liu Yan, who has a good body language, won't have any trouble. Moreover, he is eager to have a deeper understanding of some customs lost in the days ~ dynasties. He is learning with a feeling of enjoyment and won't feel impatient.

Yes, not only the war soldiers were sacrificed, but also participated in the attack and defense war of Duchang city. As long as they belong to the camp of the Han Dynasty, their death will be restrained and will be placed in the Yingling hall on the other side of huang1 Island District in the future.

"If you establish a country, you will enjoy thousands of incense when you die in war?" Wang Pu found his hands shaking, not just his hands, but his whole body. He looked after Huaixing and shook like something. He understood why.

Guan Huaixing was so excited that he trembled and said, "die in war... Become God!"

No matter what Liu Yan's intention of setting up the hall of heroes at the beginning, for countless people, only gods are qualified to enjoy the incense of thousands of families. Isn't it a God to accept the incense worship of thousands of people?
