Volume 5 The History of the Heavy Tree Chapter 819 The Temple of the Chinese Heroes and Martyrs
Li Beicang touched the steel darts with his hand tremblingly and said, "He beat these steel darts by himself." He raised his head and said, "Isn't Xiaofei embarrassed, right?"
"He killed more than 20 Japanese killers alone and killed thirty. The Japanese didn't even dare to say that because the Japanese were too embarrassed about this matter." Feng Yinbin said.
"Good boy, good boy." Li Beicang smiled in tears, took a sip of wine, and slapped him and said, "Okay, it's great. Kill one is enough to earn one by one. Xiao Fei is so angry for me. When I was young, I met a Japanese ronin in Tianjin to provoke trouble. At that time, the Gengzi Rebellion had just passed, and foreigners were extremely arrogant. I and the Japanese had beaten him, but the Japanese were cheating. Some people secretly attacked me with steel balls and so that I lost. I always remember this in my heart and often talked about it with my disciples. Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei avenged me."
Wang Maoru understood Li Beicang's pain. This boy was indeed a pity. He nodded in agreement. Feng Yinbin looked at his watch and whispered to remind him that the time was up. Wang Maoru said to Li Beicang: "Master Li, I am very sad about this matter. Thank you for contributing such a talent to the country, but I don't like him."
Li Beicang said in a deep voice: "A person will die, either as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai, just like a mountain."
Wang Maoru still felt guilty after leaving Yanzi Gate. Feng Yinbin comforted him: "Master, don't think too much, everyone has their own destiny. Ye Nanfei is destined to live no longer than 18 years old. Even if he won't have any accidents in Japan this year, he will have an accident in other places next year. God wants to accept him. No one can do anything."
Wang Maoru said: "Jihua, do you believe in fate?"
"I have no religious beliefs," Feng Yinbin said. "But I found that people cannot have religious beliefs. Perhaps religious beliefs cannot improve the quality of our lives. However, it is indeed a good thing to have a belief in supporting ourselves when people are in a downturn. I believe quite faith in fate, at least in the case of Ye Nanfei, I believe that there is actually fate."
Wang Maoru didn't speak, fate. He thought of his own child, his newborn child, was this also fate?
The evening military cocktail party is naturally indispensable. This cocktail party is a pure Chinese cocktail party, with more than a dozen tables placed, and the officers drink and communicate. Chinese wine culture has a long history, especially the drinking table culture between men is more direct. This is common to both southern men and northern men. It is only possible to easily distinguish southerners and northerners at the table. Northerners often have to drink full wine and must do it. Those who drink it all in one gulp are often northerners, while southern men drink more to have a taste. Therefore, northerners often think that southerners are boring and unhappy to drink, while southerners will think that northerners are trying to beat the other side.
After Wang Mao Tathagata, everyone was a little taller, but at least they were still awake. After Wang Maoru approached, he bowed and said, "You guys, Xiusheng is late."
"Faith your loyalty for Xiushuai!" Someone replied loudly, and everyone immediately laughed. He replied together: "Faith your loyalty for Xiushuai!"
"Everyone, I will punish myself three cups." Wang Maoru was not vague. He came over and poured three cups of himself and said to everyone: "There is a specialty for this self-punishment of three cups. I am grateful to all the brothers of the National Defense Force for their support for me in the first cup. I did it!" After drinking a cup, Wang Maoru raised the second cup and said: "I respect this second cup to Chinese soldiers, whether it is Beiyang soldiers, Southern Revolutionary Army or Civilian Army. Now we are unified, and we have a common name, National Defense Force! They all have a common ideal, defend the country, open up the territory, and leave a name in history! My second cup to Chinese soldiers!"
Everyone applauded, and He Rufei whispered to Li Delin: "Xiushuai's speech is becoming more and more imposing, and after hearing it, it makes people excited."
"So this is why everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for Xiushuai." Li Delin sighed, "It would be of no use for someone else to say this, but it would be convincing to Xiushuai say this."
"This is ability." He Rufei smiled thoughtfully.
Wang Maoru raised his last cup and said excitedly, "This third cup, I wish you the brothers who have worked with me for the past few years to sacrifice and retreat. They have no chance to enjoy all the victory, but I, Wang Maoru, will never forget it! All my brothers, Wang Maoru, have dignity until they die, and the dead family will be remembered by thousands of people after death. Because compared to them, we are enjoying the fruits they bring to us. Our success is to step on their bodies, and they are the greatest."
"Okay." Everyone stood up and shouted.
Wang Maoru sprinkled the last glass on the ground, sat in his seat again, pressed his hands and said, "Brothers, drink and chat, but if you attend the meeting tomorrow, please control your alcohol tolerance." Wang Maoru played tricks, and sprinkled the last glass on the ground to the dead, so naturally there is no need to drink it. Everyone was confused by him and didn't care. But Feng Yinbin said with a smile that the master's move was too interesting.
At the end of the banquet, Wang Maoru suddenly said to his subordinates: "In fact, Japan is our teacher, and Japan has many things worth learning from."
Zhao Zengfu, who rushed back from Guangdong and Guangxi, asked, "How did Xiushuai say this?"
Wang Maoru said: "Our modernization army started with learning from Japan. Our military organization actually started learning from Japan. There are many things worth learning in Japan. We need to learn from them and surpass them so that we can defeat them. Another thing we need to learn is that Japan will worship the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and put their soul-summoning book in the Yasukuni Shrine. Therefore, the Japanese always visit these soldiers. There is a very wrong saying in the history of our country, that men are not in the army, and those who serve in the army will be covered and left when they die, and they have not even left their names in history. Therefore, I am going to build our Chinese Soldiers Memorial Hall and named it the Chinese Heroic Souls and Martyrs' Shrine."
Zhao Zengfu said: "This idea is good, but how many temples in Martyrs should be built, and where should they be built?"
Wang Maoru said: "If you build only one, if you build too much, it will not be important for the primary or secondary. We only need the ultimate destination of the spiritual belief in the hearts of a soldier. Where is this martyr's temple built? I think it should be built in Shaanxi, the birthplace of Chinese civilization. But where is it in Shaanxi, the people from the Construction Department still need to investigate it."
Zhao Zengfu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's just a little farther away. If the southerners go to Shaanxi to pay tribute, it will be a long time to come."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "There is an advantage in building in Shaanxi. Everyone has the same distance from Shaanxi, and it is fair to everyone."
Although China's territory has not yet recovered to its peak in the Qing Dynasty, its radius has gradually recovered. Of course, the most important reason is that the recovery of Mongolia has made China no longer a rooster shape. There is only one place that has not yet been recovered, which is Tibet, which is now occupied by the British.
The issue of regaining Tibet has not been mentioned for the time being. Only Liu Xiang, a Sichuan native, mentioned the issue of regaining Tibet, but Wang Maoru put it aside and refused to discuss it for the time being. The British regarded Tibet as their next Indian colony and negotiated with China many times, because Tibet history has always been a vassal state of China, and Tibetan monks also agreed with this sect leader country in their hearts. However, the British were too energetic and China needed to develop at this time. Wang Maoru did not think about establishing multiple enemies at the same time, so he could only talk about the problem.
China is a big land and a wealth of resources, but there are many problems. We cannot handle all problems at the same time. There is a priority for the matter. The first issue now is to solve the enemy in the east.
In the evening, Wang Maoru actually started drinking more, but did not drink much afterwards. Everyone drank until after ten o'clock. Sa Zhenbing said it could be dispersed, so everyone dispersed to go home or went to the hotel to rest. Of course, some people ran to the Bada Hutongs. After being suppressed by the soldiers for a long time, they inevitably needed a place to vent, as long as they did not cause trouble. Pornography, gambling and drugs were not prohibited in the Republic of China. Although they were shameless in their work, they were also a way of survival. No country could eliminate these three primitive sins.
Not to mention elimination, all opium in China is now controlled by the National Defense Forces. The National Defense Forces make profits from opium up to tens of millions of oceans every year. How to eliminate it? Ban opium? That is simply something that only people who talk about it on earth can think of. Later generations, Jiang once ordered the ban on opium, but that's good. The Chinese Opium Pavilion collapsed and Japanese opium came. The Japanese made opium into red pills and sold it in Japanese pharmacies in a dignified manner, called "pain-relieving medicine". Japan earned tens of millions of yuan from China every year through red pills, and foreign opium completely occupied the Chinese market. Jiang finally had no choice but to give up the ban on opium. For smokers who smoked big smoke, what country, society, party, and faction, what matters me, as long as I have a mouthful of smoke, I will do whatever I ask me to do.
It is really not possible to make Chinese people ban opium smoking. One-size-fits-all approach is very effective, but this approach is an extreme method and will leave endless disasters. Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Mao still needs to use big smoke to support his national defense force funds at this time, so hens who regard it as his own hens who can lay golden eggs.
