Chapter 282: Memorial

Li Ze stayed at Mengjin Ferry for three days, and King Fu Li Xin also stayed here for three days. The Shence Army also increased from more than 1,000 people who arrived hurriedly on the first day to a total of 3,000 people. If the navy troops anchored in the Yellow River were added, the number would continue to rise.

Li Ze did not leave because he insisted on burying his subordinates who died in battle. He chose the place where these people fell, Mengjin Du Guanyi.

With the order from the Fu King Li Xin, he collected dozens of coffins the next day. After the main building of Guanyi, which had become a ruin, was cleaned up, a huge pit was dug out. Under Li Ze's gaze, coffins were placed in. The huge grave stood up above the original Guanyi location in just one day.

One stone tablet is engraved with the names of these heroes who died in battle, and the other stone tablet is engraved with the deeds of their heroic battle, killing hundreds of enemies, and bravely defeating the enemy's conspiracy.

On the incense table, three animals were offered in one piece, and the blue smoke rose up in the huge incense burner.

Li Ze held the three pillars of fragrant fragrance in his hand, strode forward, raised his hand over his forehead, and bowed deeply to the ground. He bowed three times in a row, then he inserted the incense into the incense burner with both hands, looking at the stone tablet engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in battle, and said to Langsheng: "Don't worry! Your parents, wife and children, I will support you with all your enemies. I will kill them one by one for you in the future and use their heads to pay tribute to your heroic spirits."

When Li Ze said this, his voice was low and his expression was calm, but it was precisely because of this calmness that Li Xin behind him had goose bumps. Calmness does not mean that there is no anger. On the contrary, I am afraid that Li Ze's anger has reached the highest point at this time, and everything will turn back. When it reaches the highest point, when it hits the ceiling, people will calm down.

Li Xin had no doubt about Li Ze's determination to say this at this time.

Although he and Li Ze have reached a consensus that the truth of this matter will not be revealed in a short period of time, this is only limited to the present.

Li Ze’s oath in front of the spirit today was made public in front of so many people. I think it will spread all over the world and into the ears of those who are interested.

I'm afraid Li Ze means exactly this.

Since the revenge has been formed, he does not mind making his angry voice at his enemies.

The oath made by Chengde people really cannot be regarded as a joke. Cao Xin made a vow on Shenzhou City. After Zhenwu was destroyed, Wang Feng was barred from the three tribes.

Li Ze raised his hand and bowed again, then turned around and walked back strode.

Behind him, Mrs. Wang, who was carrying the gauze curtain, walked forward with the support of Xia He and Liu Ruyan, and also had three pillars of fragrance. Then there was Mr. Liu and his wife, and then the generals under Li Ze. When everyone completed the memorial service, there was no more space in the huge incense burner.

Li Ze raised his hand, and the guards behind him knelt on the ground with one leg, and with a clatter, he unsheathed his sword and raised it high above his head.

"Brothers, go all the way!" Li Ze said loudly.

"Go along the way!" All the generals and Wei Yicong yelled in unison. Although the number of people was not large, the voice was extremely neat and loud.

Li Xin looked at everything Li Ze did silently. Now he understood why Li Ze's subordinates were so brave and good at fighting, why he could defeat the army with the power of a state, and eventually became his belongings. Looking back at the Shen Ce Army under his command, they were all in a strange face at this time. Obviously, they were also moved by this scene.

"I really love soldiers like my son!" Li Xin said in his heart.

In fact, the so-called love for soldiers is like a son. Li Xin's idea is completely different from Li Ze's idea. Li Ze will never deliberately do something to achieve the reputation of loving soldiers as like a son. For example, some people eat and live with ordinary soldiers, but Li Ze will not do it. As for some famous generals in the world who actually sucked the suppurated wounds for ordinary soldiers. Li Ze was disgusting to think about it, and he would not do it. He was supported by the soldiers and did not rely on these things at all.

He equipped the soldiers with the best weapons and the best logistics, paid generous salaries to the soldiers, gave them generous treatment to their families, and solved their worries. He tried hard to equip the doctors to every combat unit, every song and every whistle. Although he was now slow to advance due to serious shortage of manpower, the soldiers could see his efforts. During the battle, the soldiers saw that there were doctors behind them, and they could join the battle more bravely. If they died, they could receive mourning and honor behind them, and their families would receive generous pensions. If they were disabled, they would receive special care from the local area, and would also receive disability subsidies for death, so that they would not be poor after fighting bravely.

In Li Ze's words, his soldiers cannot be allowed to both bleeding and cry.

This is why Li Ze is deeply favored by the soldiers.

After doing these things, Li Ze would not take down the privileges he should enjoy. His food, accommodation and use were many times better than ordinary soldiers, and some were even unimaginable.

In a tacky saying, poverty limits their imagination.

But Li Ze did not feel any psychological guilt.

And their soldiers also took this for granted.

Big people have meat to eat, and they feel that they can drink a sip of the broth, which is very satisfying.

This is the case in the past, and naturally the future is the same. In the previous life, Li Ze was such a person who worked from the bottom line, step by step.

The differences in rights brought about by class differences are the internal reasons that encourage the lower class to never be satisfied and always maintain an upward mind.

If you want to get better treatment, then work hard. Every time you go up to a level, you will get treatment that matches your identity.

Li Ze doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

On the contrary, this is where the truth lies.

King Fu Li Xin naturally does not understand these deepest reasons.

He only saw Li Ze's great achievements, the soldiers fought for it, and the people were devoted to it. This was also the conclusion that Wang Duo came to after his personal investigation in Wuyi and other places.

In the afternoon, Li Ze left Mengjindu Guanyi, leaving only the huge tomb standing on the original site, reminding everyone that there had been an extremely tragic battle here.

At Mengjin Ferry, Li Ze met the real warship from the Tang Dynasty for the first time.

This is a navy warship affiliated to the Luoyang Defense Envoy.

In that era, the navy of the Tang Dynasty could almost be called the world-wide. In Li Ze's previous life, our tribe members finally understood that without a powerful navy, there would be no strong country, but after years of back homework, the price to pay was extremely huge if they wanted to make up for it in a short time and become a top student again. But in the Tang Dynasty, the shipbuilding craftsmanship was still first-class.

The merchant ships used for commerce in the Tang Dynasty often had three floors. Twenty feet of large ships riding on hundreds of people, and placed in the Tang Dynasty ships, were only considered common. Many ships were even connected to form "continuous boats", which were swaying on the seas of Asia and Africa, and were extremely cool everywhere.

Compared with merchant ships, the warships of the Tang Dynasty were even more armed. The style of the warships of the Tang Dynasty navy was in line with the Han and Tang dynasties, and there were warship types such as turrets, fighting ships, tower ships and other warships in the Han and Tang dynasties. But there were also several of their own exclusive killer weapons, the first of which was the slap ship, that is, the warships that drove huge rocks to strike enemy ships in water battles. Although this fierce equipment had appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the technology was not truly mature until the Tang Dynasty. With a giant winch with scientific design, it whistled out giant stones, like a heavy punch in a water battle. When encountering an enemy, it was an unreasonable blow, which was comparable to them. In addition to this slap ship, the Tang Dynasty also developed vehicles and ships. This new type of warship that was driven by pedals was extremely fast and was often used as a assaulter on the battlefield. When the slap technology was combined, its combat effectiveness became even more terrifying.

In the Battle of Baijiang, which was full of teeth, the Tang Dynasty Navy, which was absolutely inferior to the number of people, relied on this exclusive warship advantage to defeat more than 50,000 Japanese troops to the sea to feed fish. At that time, the Tang army relied on in addition to these advanced ships, there was another killer weapon in the sea, the sea falcon. This kind of sea warship had already had the prototype of a dragon bone, and was huge in size, and could be called a sea monster. However, with the decline of the Tang court, these advanced crafts were disappearing bit by bit. Li Ze even didn't know whether there was an established maritime armed fleet in the Tang Dynasty.

The unprecedented development of overseas trade in the Tang Dynasty was due to advanced shipbuilding techniques and powerful navy. Guangzhou and Quangang, which were originally a remote South Barbarians' smoke barrier, flourished because of overseas trade.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the economic center was actually shifting to the south, and the places where these ports gathered were extremely prosperous. These places were also the places that Li Ze coveted the most.

At this time, the Tang people probably did not have any awareness of sea power. Everyone's focus was still on land, but Li Ze knew the importance of this point. At the earliest, he worked tirelessly to take down Henghai, and he also fell in love with the land of the sea under Henghai's rule.

Li Xin accompanied Li Ze's family to board the largest ship in this navy team. Although ships are very common for these northerners, such warships are the first time they have seen them. All of them are Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and they all stared at this strange thing with wide eyes.
