Chapter 1520

At this moment, following the military order issued by Wang Yang before, all the soldiers stopped what they were doing, and all gathered here, and gradually surrounded them, focusing on Wang Yang and the elders of Yinzhou City. body.

Wang Yang comforted the old man patiently, and asked the others. Except for the three who came from foreign lands and had no relatives buried there, the rest of them all had relatives or relatives who died on the battlefield of Yongle City. .

It's just that at that time, this place was occupied by the cruel and murderous Xixia people. The people of Song Dynasty could only look north and weep endlessly, but they couldn't go here to bury the bones of their relatives.

And when the Song Dynasty became strong and captured Yinzhou and Yongle City, nearly twenty years had passed, and it was difficult to find which one was the bones of relatives, so it was up to the government to arrange for those who could be distinguished. , It was confirmed that all the bones of the Song people were buried here.

Listening to the pleas of the people crying blood, many soldiers' eyes were red and their eyes were full of tears.The biting wind was still howling, blowing the bloody banner of the Song Dynasty loudly.

"Soldiers, did you all hear that?" Wang Yang turned his head and yelled at the tens of thousands of soldiers gathered here.

The silent tens of thousands of Song elites suddenly answered in unison. "heard it!"

"In the past, the Empress Dowager Liang and her younger brother Liang Yibu, a foreign relative of Xixia, were in power. The country declined and the government was corrupt. Defeated the invading enemies of Xixia several times.

In November of the fourth year of Yuanfeng (1081), my Great Song Huben defeated the Xia army in Qingzhou (now Qingyang, Gansu) and recovered more than 2000 miles of homeland.The government and the public are excited, and everyone is happy.The first emperor Shenzong then ordered Xu Xi and Yan Yanlu Bingdu Chief Zhong Er to lead the army to attack Xia in September of the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082). "

Following Wang Yang's words, many people don't know about the disastrous defeat that humiliated the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty 20 years ago, and made the court and the people of the Song Dynasty weep and cry.

In this battle, not one out of ten civilians and soldiers in Yongle City survived, and nearly [-] people died inside and outside Yongle City.Nearly [-] soldiers of the Song Dynasty died, and after the city was broken, less than [-] escaped alive.

Hearing this sad story, many soldiers shed warm tears, especially the one thousand Song and Western Army that Zhe Keshi led the crowd to, all shed tears.

"But today, Wang led me here in the Great Song Huben. Seeing such a scene, I knew that Wang had made a big mistake. Now, Wang wants to express his respects to all the soldiers and my fathers and elders in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty. I'm sorry..." Wang Yang bowed deeply to those fathers, fellow villagers and nearly ten thousand soldiers when he said this.

"My lord, what are you doing? I heard that it was my lord's order back then, which made the Yongle city full of corpses no more bones. If it wasn't for my lord, you and Su Xianggong and others, I'm afraid I'd wait until I die of old age. There is no chance to come to pay respects to relatives..."

An old man from Yinzhou City quickly fell to the ground and said to Wang Yang.

"Old man, please hurry up. Those are all things I should do, but I haven't done enough, and the government hasn't done enough." Wang Yang's voice suddenly rose when he said this.

"My Great Song Dynasty has been in this land for more than a hundred years. I don't know how many times it has been invaded and looted by Na Xixia for no reason, and I don't know how many soldiers and people in the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty died in battle or lost their homes. Displaced."

"Now, my Great Song Dynasty has finally driven the Western Xia bandits out thousands of miles away and restored the old land, which made everyone in the world rejoice and excited. However, we have forgotten one thing, a big thing..."

"That is to remember the countless frontier soldiers Hu Ben and the people of the Song Dynasty who have dedicated their blood and lives for the peace and tranquility of the northwestern land of the Song Dynasty!"

"So, Wang must express my apology to you, and to those victims who have already returned to heaven."

Speaking of this, Wang Yang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, turned his head and shouted. "Where is the shopkeeper of Wanhong Trading Company in Yinzhou?!"

"Caomin is here, what orders does the commander have?" The red-eyed shopkeeper of Wanhong Trading Company hurriedly strode out and saluted Wang Yang respectfully.

"I need a lot of cement, bricks and stones. I want to build here together with the soldiers here, to build a ancestral hall for the people to pay homage to the dead, and to build a tall stone monument here..."

"I want to let you, and let the world know that I, Song Dynasty, will not forget those victims who fought against foreign enemies and sacrificed their lives for the country. I also want to tell the world that their heroic spirits will be sacrificed with incense and burnt to immortality..."

Hearing Wang Yang's high-pitched and impassioned roar, more than ten thousand soldiers tightly pursed their lips, not daring to make a sound, for fear that they might not hear clearly or understand.

Hearing Wang Yang mention that an ancestral hall was to be built here to commemorate those who died for the country, and when a monument was to be erected, more than ten thousand soldiers directly bowed down a large area.

"The commander-in-chief treats me so kindly, and I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"

One shouted, and then more and more people shouted so sharply that they merged into a torrent that was hard to stop.

Wang Yang raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, and it took a long time to calm down these excited Song tigers.

"You didn't die for me, but for your folks, for my Great Song Dynasty! Wang, I have already told His Majesty about this place, think about it, it won't take long, you will understand that my Great Song Dynasty will definitely not let countless The martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Song Dynasty died in vain, and the heroic spirits have no way to return!"

Eunuch Xu's face was also flushed at this moment, but he still did not forget his duties and did not dare to copy down Wang Yang's words present and the reaction of the tens of thousands of Song Dynasty Huben in the secret book. On the same day, another carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and headed south...

#####
Two days later, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, looking at two pigeon letters from the northwest. One was from Wang Yang, and the other was from the supervisor of the army, Eunuch Xu. .

But Su Dongpo, Zhang Wei, Cao Shi, Di Yong, Wang Hou and many old and new party leaders were all here. At this moment, everyone seemed a little silent.

Just now, Emperor Zhao Xu personally reaffirmed those two pigeon letters, especially the detailed statement made by Mr. Xu without any personal emotional factors, which really shocked everyone present.

"Your Majesty, I think that Lord Wang's words may be a little extreme, but he is sincere for the sake of the country and the people..." Cao Shi was the first to hold back, and stood up, facing the emperor. After a heavy salute, he said loudly.

While speaking, he turned his head specifically to look at the important ministers of the new and old parties who had feuded with Wang Yang, and there was a dangerous and irritable light in the slightly reddened eye sockets.

The meaning is very clear and clear, that is, you guys had better be careful and mess with me, otherwise we will never end.

After Di Yong and Wang Hou exchanged glances, they also stood out of the queue and bowed to the emperor, echoing Cao Shi's words.
