Chapter 471: Fighting for Military Hearts

Two days later, Emperor Wen rushed to defend the border again.

At this time, the bridge over the tributary of the Baishui River next to Weibian has been initially built.

On a whim, Emperor Wen insisted on riding a horse to go around the Muma Grassland, which made Dugu Ce and others worried.

Fortunately, Emperor Wen was not too dissolute. He just thought about it and came back.

After learning that Du Guiyuan had been killed in battle, Emperor Wen made a special trip to sit in front of Du Guiyuan's grave for a while, and posthumously awarded Du Guiyuan the title of General Dangbei of the third rank on the spot, and also gave Cheng Yunzheng the posthumous title of "Wu Lie" that had not been given to him. It was given to Du Guiyuan in recognition of his achievements.

Afterwards, Emperor Wen went to the Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage to the soldiers who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for Da Gan.

No one has any objection to this point.

Emperor Wen, the Daqian Emperor, personally paid homage to those fallen soldiers, which was also an honor for those fallen soldiers.

Even though they can no longer enjoy this honor now.

Although Yunzheng understood Emperor Wen's thoughts, he did not stop him.

Emperor Wen led everyone on horseback to the Martyrs Cemetery, and his eyes fell on the big sign at the door.

"Did you make these rules?"

Emperor Wen pointed to the sign with the rules for entering the martyrs' cemetery and asked Yunzheng.

"Yes!"

Yunzheng nodded.

"Then if I want to ride my horse in, will you kill me too?"

Emperor Wen asked with a half-smile.

Listening to Emperor Wen's question, Shen Luoyan and others couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The question raised by Qin Qihu in the past really came true.

This question is really hard to answer!

"Under the whole world, is it not the king's land."

Yun Zheng smiled and replied: "If my father insists on riding into the Martyrs' Cemetery, I will definitely not dare to kill my father, but my father is equivalent to killing himself and cutting off the military soul of my Da Gan!"

"You do know how to talk."

Emperor Wen was quite satisfied with this answer, "They are all soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for Da Gan. If I, the emperor, don't respect these soldiers, who can I expect to fight for Da Gan on the battlefield?"

After saying that, Emperor Wen got off his horse.

Seeing Emperor Wen dismounting, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, everyone walked into the Martyrs Cemetery.

By this time, a very small number of tombstones had been replaced with stone monuments.

But most people's tombstones are still wooden signs.

There is no way, there are too many fallen soldiers, and it will take time to replace the tombstones of all the fallen soldiers with stone tablets.

Emperor Wen silently glanced at the numerous tombstones and small dry graves.

"They are all good sons and daughters!"

Emperor Wen took a long breath, pondered silently, and turned to look at Yun Zheng, "Ask someone to bring me a pen and ink, and also bring me a blank stone tablet!"

"Yes!"

Yun Zheng guessed what Emperor Wen was going to do and immediately asked people to prepare.

Emperor Wen glanced at the withered graves in front of him again and bowed three times to them.

Seeing this, everyone also bowed accordingly.

After that, it was a simple worship.

Emperor Wen personally lit a stick of incense, bowed again, and then placed the incense on the ground.

Afterwards, Emperor Wen threw and burned some paper money.

When what Emperor Wen wanted was delivered, Emperor Wen ordered Yun Zheng to grind ink for him, and he wrote furiously on the stone tablet.

The majesty lasts for eternity, and the loyalty lasts for thousands of years.

Signature: Yunqi, Emperor Wen of Daqian, on the eighth day of May in the twenty-first year of Jianxing...

Seeing the elegiac couplet written by Emperor Wen, everyone was moved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone saluted in unison.

"Okay, okay."

Emperor Wen stood up, waved his hands and said, "I should thank the soldiers of the Beifu Army! Without the hard work of the soldiers, I would never have the chance to set foot in Sanbian City in this life!"

"The Holy Spirit is serious."

Dugu Ce bowed again.

Emperor Wen sighed softly, and then suddenly shouted: "Lao Liu!"

"My son is here!"

Yun Zheng stepped forward.

Emperor Wen's eyes were cold and stern, and he said loudly: "I have paid for you the pensions of the fallen soldiers and the rewards for the meritorious people! You listen to me, no matter who dares to touch this money, you will take it from me. His head!”

Yunzheng bowed: "I accept the order! I thank my father on behalf of the soldiers!"

Got it!

This is both worship and elegiac couplet.

Still so generous now.

After this set of operations, the morale of the Beifu Army will be towards him.

In a short period of time, if I want to lead the Beifu Army to rebel, don't even think about it!

However, he had no intention of rebelling against Emperor Wen.

Therefore, even if he knew Emperor Wen's purpose from the beginning, he did not stop it.

I just don’t know whether the pensions and rewards mentioned by my father can be fulfilled.

The expression on Emperor Wen's face gradually softened, and he pointed to the stone tablet and said, "I'll ask someone to chisel the stone tablet and set it up at the entrance of the Martyrs Cemetery. Anyone who sees this stone tablet will feel like they are seeing me! Anyone who dares to ride in on horseback will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Yunzheng took the order.

Emperor Wen: "In addition, at my own expense, you will send people to build a Martyrs' Shrine near here, so that these heroes' souls can be incense and incest to our common people for eternity!"

"My son had this plan before."

Yun Zheng replied: "However, I plan to order people to build it after Beihuan is pacified!"

"Okay, then follow your plan!"

Since Yunzheng already had a plan, Emperor Wen didn't say any more.

After that, everyone followed Emperor Wen to leave the Martyrs Cemetery.

When he was about to climb the city wall of Weibian, Emperor Wen asked everyone to retreat, and he climbed the city wall alone. Standing on the tattered city wall of Weibian, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Luoyan pulled Yun Zheng aside and asked in a low voice: "Is my father competing with you for the morale of the Beifu Army?"

"Did you see it?" Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

"You can't tell!" Shen Luoyan rolled her eyes at him.

This is already obvious, okay!

Anyone who is not too stupid should be able to see it.

"Let's fight!"

Yunzheng smiled nonchalantly and said: "Anyway, he can't compete with me! His move is more to stabilize the morale of the army and maintain the prestige of his emperor! However, we don't want to rebel against our father, so we don't need to Pay attention to these things.”

The military morale of the Beifu Army was built by fighting one battle after another.

At this time, the military morale of the Beifu Army is definitely more inclined towards the father.

After all, my father had just spent so much money, so it was going to end after all, right?

But as time passed, the military spirit returned to him.

The soldiers of the Beifu Army will definitely remember their father's kindness. If they want to raise troops to rebel against his father, they will definitely encounter much greater resistance.

But as long as he doesn't rebel against his father, nothing will be affected.

He was not worried that Emperor Wen would compete with him for military support. He was only worried about whether Emperor Wen's public promise could be fulfilled.

Not to mention the pension plus the rewards for meritorious deeds, there is definitely six to seven million taels of silver.

If my father wants to give so much money from the treasury to the Beifu Army, he will definitely encounter considerable resistance.

After all, in the eyes of many people in the DPRK, the Beifu Army is now basically equivalent to the rebels.

Giving money to the Beifu Army doesn't mean you are endorsing the enemy?

Emperor Wen stood on the city wall for a long time before asking Yun Zheng to go up alone.

Emperor Wen said lightly: "I am too lazy to listen to the advice of those in the court. The money I promised you will be deducted from your share of doing business with me."

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Got it!

I knew this was the result!

Before the business even started, he had already advanced the money.

"Okay! I listen to my father!"

Yun Zheng stopped talking to Emperor Wen.

For him, it would be a good thing as long as Emperor Wen could let go of Fuzhou's defense line.

Anyway, even if my father doesn't use the profits from the business as compensation, don't I still have to give away the money?

It's just a matter of turning the left hand into the right hand, there's no need to mess with it.

Seeing Yunzheng's agreement, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nod and smile.

He thought this bastard was going to jump up and barge at him!

Unexpectedly, he agreed so readily.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off."

Emperor Wen patted Yun Zheng on the shoulder and said, "After drinking your wedding wine, it's time for me to leave!"

"You can deal with Beihuan and govern Shuobei with peace of mind. I will help you remove the obstacles!"

"You come and get some knives, and I'll get some knives!"

"With your abilities, no one of your brothers who succeeds to the throne can defeat you!"

"Instead of letting Daqian fall into chaos due to your internal fighting, I might as well leave this country in your hands..."

Got it!

Starting to draw cakes again!

Dad!

The pie you drew is too big and my belly is too small to fit it!

Yun Zheng smiled secretly in his heart and asked again: "Father, don't you go to Qingbian to have a look?"

"No."

Emperor Wen shook his head and looked deeply, "I have to leave some thoughts for myself. I will come back to see you when the Qingbian repairs are completed!"
