Chapter 784
Since the Battle of Jinzhou began, although the Xuanbei Army had never really fought against the Qing Army, and did not see a large number of casualties, but the army did not send out sentries frequently at night, and the casualties were indeed quite large.

Among them, the Tiger Guards Battalion led by Lin Fangping sent out the most frequent sentries and suffered the most casualties. At this time, he was biting his lower lip tightly, and there was a trace of sadness and pain in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng yelled sharply: "Good boy, why are you crying?"

Afterwards, he also sighed, and then he said firmly: "The brothers who died in battle with this commander, I, the Xuanfu army, must not forget them, and I, the people of the Xuanfu military households, must not forget them either.

If there were no officers and soldiers of my Xuanfu who died in blood, how could the civilians in the military households in the territory live a stable and prosperous life? "

Zhang Cheng's eyes were bright and bright, he glanced at the people in the hall again, and continued loudly: "When the battle here is over, I will build a 'Praise Loyalty Shrine' to commemorate the fallen soldiers who followed my commander to conquer the Quartet.

This commander wants Xuanbei, Xuanfu Town, and even the entire Ming Dynasty to remember these heroes who sacrificed their lives in blood. "

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was moved. You must know that people in this era attach great importance to building temples and offering sacrifices.

Don't you see, every time the imperial court commends the heroes and generals who have made great contributions, it is just to build the gate tower of the archway, which is already a supreme honor.

The matter of building a temple to sacrifice is even more rare, even if it is a posthumous honor, just imagine, how many people in the entire Ming Dynasty have such treatment?

Such as the most holy teacher Kong Shengren, Yue Wumu, Guan Shengdi Jun Guan Gong and other few people who can be made holy can enjoy the special feudal titles of the past dynasties and build temples to worship them.

However, ordinary imperial officials and generals seldom receive this honor. At most, they are enshrined in family ancestral halls and temples.

As for the ordinary soldiers who fought on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country, not to mention enshrining their names and tablets in temples, many of them are not even allowed to properly bury their bodies, and their families have not known whether they are dead or alive for many years.

How many old parents, looking forward to their children day and night, but the children will not return; how many widowed wives, looking forward to their husbands' return, but the lonely lamp burns white and green threads, but their husbands are not returned;

However, at this moment, they heard from their own coach that after returning to Xuan Mansion, they will build a "Praise Loyalty Shrine" to honor the loyal souls of the soldiers who died in battle!

What kind of treatment is this?
This is unprecedented in Daming!

Before that, some generals built temples and shrines for the generals who died in battle, to enshrine the loyal souls and bones, and pray for the protection of one party's heroes.

However, the act of building a shrine to honor the heroic spirits for the ordinary fallen soldiers who accompanied the army is indeed unprecedented, and something that has never been seen before. Although everyone is moved in their hearts and their expressions are quite excited, there is also a hint of doubt on their faces. and worry.

At this time, I heard Zhang Cheng continue to say: "Since the king of Jingqin entered the front and killed the Tartars with Mafang, this commander ordered the military scribes to describe the details of every battle since then, no matter how big or small. It is recorded in the book so that it can be used to test military achievements in the future and to check for gaps."

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard him talk about this past again. Many people didn't know what he meant, and even Wei Zhice was at a loss.

Zhang Cheng ignored the crowd, he looked at them like a divine light, and continued: "A while ago, when my division arrived at Songshan Mountain, I felt that we were fighting the Tartars, especially my Xuanfu sentry cavalry, which would not only cause casualties. There are quite a few, and there are many epic deeds.

In order to let future generations know that our battles are not easy, and also to warn future generations of the horror of war, the commander-in-chief ordered the commander-in-chief to comfort Mr. He, and organized the military scribes to record the battles and sentries of the soldiers of the Xuanfu army. , carefully sorted out.

It is necessary to select all the heart-warming heroic deeds and characters among them, compile them into pamphlets, and spread them widely in our Xuanfu army, so that they can become a model for all the soldiers in the army, and become a model for all the soldiers in our army to follow. hero! "

Everyone was stunned, their faces were shocked besides shock.

Many people opened their mouths wide, but couldn't speak out, followed by a state of contemplation. They were still savoring and interpreting what the master had just said.

After all, Wei Zhice is a person who has read books. Compared with other people, he is more active, and his vision and thinking are broader. He was the first to react and said: "The commander-in-chief has a big heart, and he still hides millions of soldiers. Every time I think about it, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhi Ce worships! "

He went on to say: "The commander-in-chief's move, although the general still can't fully understand it for a while. But thinking about it now, I am fascinated. If it is done according to the commander-in-chief's wishes, in the future not only our lieutenants will know the heroic deeds, but also cure The common people in the military households will also worship him endlessly.

When these heroic deeds are spread, not only everyone in my Xuanzhen will admire, but also the people of military households outside the jurisdiction, and even all the officials, businessmen and gentry will admire me endlessly, so they will turn their hearts to my Xuanfu.

Dashuai, what a good layout! "

After Wei Zhice's kind of commentary-like praise, everyone's hearts brightened, and everyone praised Zhang Cheng's move.

For the people in the house, it is really great for them to be able to enter the "Baozhong Temple" after dying before the battle, and enjoy the incense offerings from the world.

People in this era love and value their reputation so much that people in later generations can't imagine!
If it is true what Zhang Chengzhi said, after they sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, they can really enter the "Baozhong Temple" to enjoy the four o'clock and five sacrifices, and the incense will be continuously worshiped by the world every year.

Not only are they proud in their hearts, but their children will also be proud in their hearts, and they will be respected by the world.

In this way, it is equivalent to what they are fighting for today, and it will definitely benefit future generations in the future. In addition to the preferential shirts and retirement policies set by Zhang Cheng before, those who come to sign up for military service in the future must be gathered.

Amidst the elated discussion among the crowd, Zhang Cheng also smiled again and said: "This commander also wants to recruit some storytellers, so that they can spread the heroic deeds of my Xuanfu in the form of catchy blackboard writing, both inside and outside the Xuanfu, and spread it all over the world." Great river north and south!
Let everyone in the world know the deeds of the loyal and brave soldiers of my Xuanfu, and let the deeds of the loyal and brave soldiers of my Xuanfu be sung through the ages.

In this way, it is not in vain to my original intention of "praising Zhongliang"! "

Everyone in the room looked solemn, and they were deeply moved by Zhang Cheng's move.

The thoughtfulness of their own general master really made them a little unexpected. With such a general master, what reason would they not swear to follow, and what reason would they not swear allegiance to the death!

Zhang Guangda is worthy of being Zhang Cheng's old subordinate. He was the first to kneel down on both knees, cupped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "It is really our luck to meet the commander-in-chief. The general is willing to follow the commander-in-chief until death without regret. , I will go too!"

All together, a group of generals fell to their knees in the small hospital room, saying "...willing to follow the commander... the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire... also go!"

Zhang Cheng looked at them with a solemn expression on his face, and after a long time, he said softly: "Everyone, get up, you are my own brothers, and people I trust, it is my good fortune to meet you! "

Seeing all the generals stand up, Zhang Cheng said loudly again: "You believe in me, and you are willing to stay by my side to build a grand cause together, and I will make an oath with you today.

Zhang Cheng will definitely live up to your trust!
I will work together with all of you to suppress the bandits inside and keep the Tartars outside, revive the Ming Dynasty, revive the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, make the four barbarians surrender, and welcome the eight parties to come to the dynasty. "

"I would like to follow the commander-in-chief, ZTE Daming!"

Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and the room became silent for a moment. He turned around, looked at Zhang Jintai on the wooden bed, and said, "You should take good care of your injuries first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and told Li Changsheng: "Li Changsheng, if you write a report on the battle situation in the past few days, the Zhenfu Division will also check the merits of your outposts this time, which is worthy of verification."

Li Changsheng suppressed his sobs, and said, "Here!"

It is certain that Li Changsheng and others have made great contributions to this sentry.

However, after each battle of the Xuanbei Army, the generals of each army must write their own battle reports, which include but are not limited to pre-war analysis, battle arrangements, evacuation and rescue, etc. Personal records, etc., and there are first merit, great merit, secondary merit and so on.

It would be best to have the Zhenfu Division send staff to check one by one, and only after the verification is correct, they will be registered in the register for inspection at any time.

This set of rules was first proposed by Zhang Cheng, who was then the general manager of Qian, after the Battle of Mafang in the 11th year of Chongzhen, and it has been implemented in his Qian headquarters since then.

The final finalization was indeed in the 12th year of Chongzhen, when he went to Xuanfu North Road to serve as a general guarding the North Road. Since then, such behavior has become the rule of the Xuanbei Army.

Over the years, such practices have formed a series of perfect systems, and the entire army is accustomed to it.

Before leaving, Wei Zhice, Zhang Guangda, Zhang Guodong and others all comforted Zhang Jintai with warm words. Lin Fangping even held his hand and said affectionately: "Brother Jintai, you are now concentrating on healing your injuries. Regarding the Tiger Guard camp, let's think of a solution."

Soon, everyone left the hospital building one after another, and then the medical officer led several doctors to leave as well. The crowded hospital room was completely empty.

Zhang Jintai also quietly asked the medical officer just now that the other Huweiying brothers who were injured during the sentry were treated in the hospital next door, but he lived alone in the hospital.

Although Zhang Cheng loves the soldiers under his command, people at this time are more concerned about the distinction between superiority and inferiority. As the adopted son of the commander-in-chief of the first army, others naturally dare not receive treatment in the same hospital with him, so he did not demand equality.

Now, Zhang Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Although the documents of the imperial military department say that he is a temporary replacement, all the battalions of the Xuanfu under the command of the former commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu have expressed their loyalty to him. After the war, he will completely take over the Xuanfu It's only a matter of time before the commander-in-chief of the government.

Among the armies that joined the army, only the Xuanbei Army under Zhang Cheng had the most accompanying doctors, and the relevant pills and powders were also the most abundant. On this point, Zhang Cheng was willing to spend money.

After all, the cost of training a qualified sergeant is far greater than the cost of medical officers and medicinal materials.

Of course, this is not comparable to other military towns in Ming Dynasty. After all, as long as other military towns protect their servants, what does the life and death of the rest of the soldiers and assistants have to do with them?
There are nearly 20 soldiers and more than a dozen generals in the army to aid the king of Liao, and only Zhang Cheng's Xuanfu soldiers and horses will receive comprehensive medical treatment for the injured soldiers. The best of the battalions of the army.

"I still need to rest for a month..."

Zhang Jintai was crying alone in his heart, when he was bored, he suddenly saw countless heads protruding from the door.

Looking closely, it was a group of brothers in the boy camp. Knowing that Zhang Cheng had led the generals to leave, they all rushed over to visit him.

All of a sudden, the room became very lively again, and everyone even chattered, "Seeing that the second brother is fine, I'm relieved to wait."

"...I really want to congratulate my second brother on his return from victory!"

They wanted to visit Zhang Jintai a long time ago, but they were blocked by doctors outside the door and were not allowed to enter.

Then, when he saw Zhang Cheng leading the generals coming, he quietly hid aside. At this time, he learned that Zhang Cheng and others had left, and that Zhang Jintai had also regained consciousness, so he rushed to visit.

Looking at the concerned eyes and cordial greetings of all the brothers, Zhang Jintai suddenly felt warm in his heart.

He said with a smile: "I said it was fine. Who am I, your second brother? As early as when I was born, a fortune teller told me that I have nine lives, but my life is hard!"

While everyone was laughing, they suddenly saw another person walking in the door. Li Changsheng became even happier when he saw it, but it was Zhang Chengfang, Zhang Cheng's first adopted son.

After he entered the room, he looked Zhang Jintai up and down carefully, and after a while, when everyone gradually quieted down, he asked with great concern: "Seeing that your injuries are not serious, why do you still have to go to Songshan City to recuperate for more than a month?"

Zhang Jintai sighed and said, "Who says it's not. Brother, help us talk to our father and commander, and let us stay in the army to cultivate. How about it?"

Zhang Chengfang's expression remained unchanged, but he just said indifferently: "Brother, just came back from the sentry, and he was injured again, so let's rest in peace. As for whether he can enter Songshan City, we will talk about it later."

He stepped forward, sat down in front of Zhang Jintai's bed, and sighed: "It's really dangerous to go out this time, and if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck, brother!"

Zhang Jintai also said with a smile: "TOEFL, TOEFL. I am lucky to be able to enter the Tiger Guard Camp."

Zhang Chengfang shook his head after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "Jin Tai, just looking at the heads of the Tartars and the seizures, you can tell that it must be wonderful. Tell the brothers quickly, so that everyone can open their eyes." .”

Seeing that everyone gathered around one after another, everyone seemed to be very interested.

Only then did Zhang Jintai sigh and say: "It's a long story, brother this time, it can be said that he was born and died, shaking the world, and weeping ghosts and gods."

Zhang Chengfang said with a smile: "Okay, don't play tricks on the brothers, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Jintai's ups and downs came from the house one after another: "..... If we want to talk about this, we have to start when I led the brothers out of Daxing Fort..."
