Chapter 487
Chapter 487
The ritual of worshiping ancestors on the first day of the new year is not an exception even to the committee.
Early this morning, the commissioner brought his family to pay homage to the ancestors.
And compared with ordinary people, what the commissioner should do is not only to worship ancestors, but also to go out of the city to the cemetery to worship the martyrs who once dedicated their lives to the battlefield.
Near noon, the commissioner brought He Jingzhi, Zhu Jiahua, Chen Mingshu and other department officials, as well as many senior military generals to the cemetery outside the city.
In the past, Su Yun built this cemetery.
In the beginning, Heroic Spirits were not buried here.
At that time, many people hoped that the place would never be used for a lifetime.
But the reality is cruel. After the First World War in the North, countless heroic spirits returned from the battlefield and died here.
Today is clearly the New Year, a festive day.
However, none of the people who followed Wei Zuo to the cemetery, including Wei Zuo himself, were all wearing black tunic suits with black flowers on their necks. The whole team looked solemn and solemn.
Behind the crowd, many people followed.
Among them, there are the wives and children of the dead soldiers, the fathers and mothers of the soldiers, and some 100 ordinary people who worship the soldiers.
These people died to defend their homeland.
Their blood was sprinkled on the battlefield of the golden horse and iron horses, and they used their lives to protect the peace in the rear.
So the people came here with deep respect in their hearts.
Among the common people, there are also countless reporters.
At the beginning of the new year, the commissioner and a group of senior officials from the government came to pay homage to the heroic spirit. Of course, the major newspapers would not miss this news.
However, at this time, there was no sound from everyone present.
Jinling City is peaceful and lively, but it can’t be noisy here.
Many heroic spirits are sleeping under their feet, and in everyone’s eyes, they cannot be disturbed.
Wei Zuo and the others came to the entrance of the square with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
He paused at the entrance of the cemetery and bowed slightly.
Many officials behind them also bowed slightly, and then everyone walked into the cemetery with solemn steps.
When they came to the square of the cemetery, there was no change in the expression on the commissioner’s face.
Behind him, the officials were equally quiet.
In the square, many flags of blue sky and white sun are fluttering in the wind and snow, and in the center of these (ajed) flags, there is a huge flag of blue sky and white sun all over the ground, just like the pines stand erect among them.
The huge capital flag seems to be a backbone, as if as long as it is there, the surrounding flags will not hang down.
After passing these flags, the commissioner first led the crowd to the three statues in the center of the square.
It was the three soldier statues completed in the former square.
They are generals and soldiers.
Above the general’s head, a general star in the center of the hat is extremely conspicuous.
The commissioner looked up at the general star, raised his hands to the three statues, and saluted!
Although there are only three statues, here, at this moment, they are enough to represent the warriors who are sleeping under the ground.
The action of charging with a steel gun, isn’t it a portrayal of the soldiers charging forward in blood on the battlefield?
Afterwards, the commissioner led people out of the square and officially stepped into the gate of the cemetery.
Behind them, the reporters and the people followed closely.
In this solemn atmosphere, an old man in the crowd suddenly reached out and wiped his face.
He is a military father and his son is buried here.
After entering the cemetery, the first thing they see is the Ganlou named after the gossip.
This commissioner walked at the head of the team, He Jingzhi, Zhu Jiahua and other officials walked in the back, surrounded by and behind them were many people and reporters.
Seeing the dry building is equivalent to actually entering the cemetery.
At this time, those who followed and entered did not have a relaxed look on their faces.
They were silent, quietly following the crowd.
Entering this place is equivalent to entering the resting place of the soldiers. A solemn and solemn attitude is the best respect for the heroic spirits.
Taking a look at the word “Dry” on the plaque, the commissioner led someone into the building.
When everyone came to the top, they saw rows of spiritual positions.
That is the ranking of famous generals in ancient China.
From Meng Tian, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Ban Gu, Dou Xian, to Li Jing, Yu Chi Gong, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang.
The tablets of these people are neatly listed at the front of the Qianlou Hall.
Facing the tablets, the commissioner waved his hands.
The attendants behind them retreated knowingly, and carried the three animals that had already been prepared, as well as sacrificial items such as incense, candles, and paper.
Afterwards, an attendant handed three incense sticks to the commissioner.
The entrusted seat held both hands and came to the incense burner in front of him. He first leaned down and bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of him.
“All martyrs, all ancestors and heroic spirits.
Today coincides with the Spring Festival, and the descendants specially brought everyone here to worship.
I hope that all the martyrs can protect me in China with their heroic souls, help us and other soldiers to expel the wolf smoke as soon as possible, and clean up the land of China! ”
After the brief sacrificial speech was finished, the entrusted seat took the lead and began to worship.
Behind him, He Jingzhi, Zhu Jiahua, Chen Mingshu and other officials then bowed down and bowed.
The surrounding people also sincerely paid their respects to these famous historical generals.
They are all heroes of China.
In the past, in order to protect China and expel foreign barbarians, all of these generals have stepped forward, bringing thousands of troops and horses, or defending the enemy outside the country, or beheading the enemy in the mountains and rivers.
The background is nowIt was the enemy bandit who committed the crime, whether it was the commissioner, the officials, or the common people, all hoped to be sheltered by these heroic spirits and help Huaxia Erlang to clear the rivers and mountains!
“Come on, serve the three animals, light incense and candles, and sacrifice to the martyrs!”
The commissioner announced in a deep voice.
On the side of the crowd, many attendants immediately placed the sacrifices that had been prepared in front of the spirit card, incense candles and other items were lit in order in front of the spirit card, and the whole hall began to permeate a strong scent of incense candles.
Many people looked at the beating flames in front of them, and watched the green smoke of the three sticks of incense curl up, and suddenly felt a sense of steadfastness and heroism in their hearts.
The people all believed that with the protection of this group of ancestors, they would definitely be able to see the day when the enemy and bandits collapsed and the mountains and rivers were safe.
Next, everyone stayed in the hall, quietly waiting for the paper money to burn out.
The entire hall was silent, and the solemn faces of everyone formed a sharp contrast with the hideous statues of the martyrs around.
The statues of the martyrs are glaring at each other, or they look like they are far away.
They seem to hate that the younger generation does not fight, so that the country is not prosperous and the enemy bandit is not killed, and it seems that they are telling the younger generation that we have led a large army and defeated the enemy bandit.
Today, you and others must follow the example of your predecessors, golden horses and iron horses, to restore my rivers and mountains!
In such a solemn atmosphere, everyone completed the tribute to these martyrs and famous generals.
But there was no trace of relief on people’s faces.
Chapter 520: Cemetery Sacrifice
After walking out of the Qianlou, a seat was appointed to lead everyone to the Kunlou behind.
In the past, when the cemetery was just built, there were no spiritual tablets in the other buildings except the Qianlou, which was used to house famous generals and martyrs. Xie An once asked Su Yun that day, and said how many people would come to be buried here.
Su Yun replied that he didn’t want to see any of them.
But today, there are still only the spirit tablets and sculptures of the martyrs in the dry building.
But in the buildings behind Kun, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, and Dui, there are countless ranks of soldiers and heroes!
When the commissioner stepped into the Kunlou, he didn’t say a word.
The faces of the people behind him also became heavier.
When sacrificing those martyrs and famous generals, everyone just felt the prestige of their ancestors, and hated their own unworthiness.
But these heroic spirits in the back are all heroes who sacrificed on the battlefield for their sake~!
Many of the people who came here today are their parents, wives and children. Now that they have seen these spiritual positions with their own eyes, many people’s eyes are starting to turn red.
These people, just a year or two ago, were still flesh-and-blood.
But now, only the cold tablets are left here.
Inside the main hall, the old man from before began to choked up slightly.
He saw his son’s name.
The soldier died on the battlefield and was torn apart by the enemy’s artillery shells. Not even a complete corpse was left. Even when he was buried in this cemetery, his comrades only returned his usual clothes.
But the old man did not cry.
He knew that his son was a good man. He died to protect the family and the country. Even if there were no bones left, he could still be a hero!
A son is a hero, and being an Lao Tzu can’t be ashamed of him!
The commissioner turned around and looked at the gray-haired old man.
He motioned to the attendants next to him to place the offerings in front of everyone’s spirit cards, and then solemnly said, “Fathers and elders, fellow compatriots.
I assure everyone that they will not die in vain, and their blood will not be shed in vain. Today, China’s economy, education, infrastructure, and industry are all on the rise.
It won’t be long before we become really strong.
At that time, our army will be stronger, we will drive the enemy out of the country, we will keep the enemy out of the country, and we will avenge the dead heroes with our own hands! ”
