Chapter 145 The Soldier's Funeral

Qin Mu personally arranged the burial matter. Qin Mu is not short of money now and bought coffins for all the soldiers who died. In Qin Mu's view, it is not an exaggeration to prepare a coffin for them by himself. In Qin Mu's view, a coffin is really insignificant compared to their lives.

"Why are you spending so much money to buy coffins for these soldiers? It's wasteful more money. Just find a piece of cloth to cover it and bury it directly. Isn't it all in the army like this?" Li Dadan was a little confused about the behavior of the Legion Commander, thinking that it was a waste of money.

"Yes, this coffin is so expensive. You can buy a war horse with a pair of coffins." Liu Xiaoshan said with some confusion.

"Are you too cold-blooded? No one is willing to give them a coffin when they die?" Xiaoyu said unhappily at the two cold-blooded officers.

"Haha, Miss Xiaoyu, you are right, you two are too cold-blooded."

Several officers next to him immediately responded, joking about this girl Xiaoyu, not to be yes maid, she is the person next to our corps commander. If he blew a few words of pillow wind in the corps commander's ear, the corps commander would not look up to him and others.

Qin Mu personally covered the soldiers with white cloth for those who had not died, and put them around him with the long sword he used to use during his lifetime. It took an hour to cover the four hundred and ninety-two dead soldiers with white cloth.

"Cover the coffin~~" Qin Mu shouted.

It took a stick of incense to nail all the coffins.

"Start up~~"

Under the command of Deputy Legion Commander Liang Qiming, the soldiers carried the coffin and walked towards the cemetery that they had chosen in the morning. It was a beautiful small hill.

All the officers followed the coffin to deliver the last journey to these brave warriors, which is also a respect for the dead and a comfort to the living.

"Falling coffin."

After arriving at the local area, Liang Qiming commanded the way.

Soon the soldiers put the coffin into the pit dug in the morning.

"Create a monument."

Immediately, soldiers erected a large stone tablet that had been prepared long ago in front of these tombs. This stone tablet was arranged by Qin Mu to drive it out overnight. Fortunately, many skilled craftsmen were recruited from refugees these days, and several could carve stone tablets.

On the top of the stone tablet are written, "Tomb of the Heroes of the First Army of Tokugawa County", and the small characters below are the names of these dead soldiers. The final signature is "The governor of Tokugawa County, Qin Muli, the commander of the First Army, the 13th year of the Apocalypse, February 28th."

This is the very famous first hero stone tablet of the Chinese Empire. Countless people from later generations came to the northwest to worship these heroes who sacrificed their precious lives for the early days of the Chinese Empire.

History remembers their names. People in later generations remember their names. Although they do not know their origins and positions, their names are in the hearts of countless people in later generations.

"You are all heroes of the First Legion. You are brave and dedicated in the fight, and unfortunately died heroically in the fight. All the people of the First Legion will remember you, and countless people in the future will remember you. When the Heroes of the First Legion of Tokugawa County is completed, the spirit will be moved into the Heroes of the Martyrs' Temple. Enjoy incense and worship forever." Qin Mu said after bowing to the stone tablet three times.

"Although you are dead, so brave, you deserve our respect and forever commemoration. You are like the most unknown among the stars in the sky, but you insist on decorating the stars in the beautiful night sky, like the smallest but most beautiful flowers in the sea of ​​flowers... Although you are dead, so young, you will always exist in our hearts. I believe that one day, you will become heroes that will be admired by the people of future generations for the admiration and worship of the people of future generations..."

After Qin Mu said this, Liang Qiming shouted: "Salute to the military!"

All officers saluted the deceased with the most respectful military salutes of the Empire.

"The ceremony is over."

After putting down his hands, Qin Mu and others took action themselves and started filling the soil with a group of officers. The soldiers also went up to help and quickly filled the soil.

"It's not unfair to die with such an adult."

A soldier's eyes were blurred. He watched Qin Mu's clothes get dirty with mud. He said in his heart that these people were small soldiers and rarely received the respect of others.

When they were refugees, people in the shacks starved to death every day. The better ones wrapped in a straw mat, dug a hole and buried it, and almost threw it directly in the wilderness and let the wild dogs eat it. They died here, with coffins, tablets, and a tombstone.

After everything was done, the officers presented some wine, meat and fruits prepared in advance and placed them in front of the monument. Qin Mu announced that the Qingming chief officers would have to pay tribute to each year. Then, after the ceremony was over, all the soldiers were a little excited. They never thought that an official of such a high level could bury ordinary soldiers.

Although they didn't say anything, what they saw with their own eyes was even more convincing and they could also get such respect. Lord Qin's soldiers have dignity, which is what they summarized from the funeral in their hearts.

...

After spending a day sending the last journey to the dead soldiers, Qin Mu returned to the camp with some sadness.

"Master, no one can be resurrected when he dies. Don't be too sad." Chi Meng said comfortingly.

"Sometimes, life is really fragile. In a war, so many people die, many of them are children who have not yet started their own families."

Qin Mu said sadly, for some reason, after attending this funeral, Qin Mu was particularly sad. Looking at the rows of soldiers lying in that way and could never wake up again, Qin Mu felt deeply guilty. If he hadn't brought them to the northwest, these young lives wouldn't have been ruined here long ago.

"Master, don't be sad. Even if they don't come to the northwest with you, they will starve to death sooner or later. I'll escape and know that it's really on the way to escape..."

As she talked, Xiao Cherry could not continue to talk. After all, when she recalled the days when she fled, it really made people dare not recall them.

"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things anymore. Have you prepared the military discipline of our First Legion that I asked you to sort out last time?"

Qin Mu saw that his women could be depressed together, so he changed the subject and asked. Qin Mu understood that from the beginning of his journey to the northwest, he would step on the bodies of countless people in the future, and he would become famous and be undone. This is something that cannot be changed.

"My husband has already been prepared, I will show you now." Chimeng said, and then went to get the draft of military disciplines she had sorted out.

"Very good, you guys wrote well, you basically understand what I mean."

After reading the draft military disciplines compiled by Chimeng and the others, Qin Mu said with satisfaction that the content of the military discipline basically matched the contents of his words, but it was clarified in the text, which looked more smooth and organized.

"Master, this is all the credit of Sister Chimeng, we can't help much," said Xiao Cherry.

"Crazy dream, thank you for your hard work." Qin Mu said.

"Master, you are not lucky enough to be miserable at all. You have worked hard. Besides, we women have nothing to do. We can help the master. We are too happy, so why are we tired?"

Chimeng shook her head and said, for Chimeng, she is particularly happy to do something for her man. Chimeng doesn’t want to be a woman who just makes her man vent her, but to be a woman who is helpful to her man. After all, there are too many beautiful women in this world, and she also has a time when she is old and has a weak sex. What can I rely on to make this powerful man remember her?

At this point, Chimeng, who grew up in Qinglou, understood very well. She had been thinking about doing something for her men. She was in charge of finance with Yulan a few days ago. Chimeng was very happy, but the smart Chimeng knew that she would only manage this finance temporarily at most, and she would definitely not be able to discuss her in the future.

"Chimeng, why don't you be the secretary of me in the future."

Qin Mu said that Qin Mu felt that he needed someone he trusted to write important documents for himself, organize some information, and keep these important documents.

After all, in his own position, some documents are top secret and cannot be leaked, so a person he trusts very much to do this work, just like the secretaries of those officials in Qin Mu's previous life.

And this Chimeng is her own woman. Apart from herself, she can be said to be free from worries in this world and will never betray her. Therefore, the position of this clerk is Chimeng really suitable.

"What is a clerk?" Xiao Cherry asked later.

"This secretary usually helps the master to send and receive some documents, write documents, and helps the master organize important documents." Qin Mu said.

"Isn't that easy to live?" Xiao Cherry asked.

"It's not a simple job, because the documents you come into contact with are all high-level documents, which is very important. There should be no mistakes. There is a high degree of confidentiality. If you are not a person who trusts very much, you cannot be the clerk, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later." Qin Mu said.

"Master, is this important to say that the secretary?" Yulan asked.

"Yes, it's very important."

Qin Mu said with a smile that Qin Mu had his own ideas for this clerk. In the future, his clerk must first be his own woman. It is best if they have no relatives except for him, the master. Only in this way can they be the most loyal.

"Master, can I?"

Xiao Cherry asked, Xiao Cherry also wanted to be the clerk, and Xiao Cherry also wanted to do some things for her master and be a woman who is useful to the master.

"If you become the clerk of the master, who will take care of the master's daily life?" Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Then I won't be a clerk, I'd better take good care of the master. The master still doesn't know how to wear clothes by himself." Xiao Cherry said with his eyes turning.

“Haha~~”
