"What Your Majesty thinks is not enough!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed deeply.

Zhu Youjian felt Lu Xiangsheng's admiring gaze and was still a little proud. He didn't feel these words deeply, but he saw them when he was sorting out information online and remembered them in his heart. When he said them at this time, he also touched him.

At the beginning, these words were just excuses for him to persuade Lu Xiangsheng not to care about the Nanzhili Tiandao Army, but now, he feels it is necessary to do so.

If you really do it, you will be the true sage king of eternal times. Not to mention the merits and demerits of Taizu, but at least you are the first person below Taizu.

"By the way, on August 4th, the Emperor Ming General Cemetery was completed. In the north of the capital, there are now 429 soldiers who died in the three wars of extermination of illegal Shanxi merchants, pursuit of rebels, and conquering the Mongolian grasslands.

Tomorrow I will announce that August 4th will be set as the anniversary of the Heroes of the Ming Empire. On that day, I will lead the ministers to worship. How many days will you be in the capital? After attending this ceremony, it will not be too late to leave." Zhu Youjian said.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally agreed happily.

He only heard about this matter, but he didn't expect it to be built. After the Ming soldiers were in charge, he would have a better idea to verify the soldiers.

Only when the personnel are truly approved can the souls of the Ming soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country be returned to the cemetery. I believe that those soldiers will definitely cooperate more with the actions than before.

The "Huangming General Cemetery" covers an area of ​​10,000 mu. This is not the place where corpses are placed. In the end, sparks will be carried with urns.

This aspect also gives an explanation, saying that "eternal life is obtained in the fire of war."

In short, a person does not occupy much land area, and the tombstones and the land area are of the same size, without distinction between high and low.

The entire cemetery has four entrances and exits, facing four directions: southeast, west and north.

The cemetery has numbers such as the heavenly stems and earthly branches before it. Even if it is crisscrossed, it can be distinguished from the inside like a maze.

There is a high wall around the cemetery, which is three meters tall. Trees need to be planted inside and outside the wall, and a lot of flowers and plants are planted inside. However, it has not started yet, and those need to be cultivated.

On August 4th, the Yongweiying Infantry Regiment lined up from the gate of the capital to the east entrance of the cemetery; the Yongweiying Cavalry Regiment swam around the cemetery to prevent accidents and maintain order.

Not only the people in the capital, but also from many places such as Tianjin and Shanxi, after learning the news, they all came here to watch the fun.

Such a big scene is rare. The emperor brought hundreds of ordinary military households to worship the civil and military officials. This kind of strange story cannot be missed.

The Yongwei Camp Artillery Regiment took on the role of a salute this time. The salute specially made by the Military Weapon Bureau was loud and had no harm.

In the middle of the cemetery, on the 33-meter-high stone pillar flagpole, the Ming dragon flag is flying.

Zhu Youjian and other ministers walked all the way from the palace to the entrance of the cemetery. There were many people standing in the cemetery, all ordinary people, and were allowed to watch inside.

Zhu Youjian Station arrived at the door and shouted loudly: "Long live the Ming soldiers!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of people in Yongwei Camp repeated this sentence together.

Then, a team of Jinyiwei walked towards them in neat steps, and above their hands were holding the urns of the sacrificed soldiers.

With the sound of steps, they walked through the gate of the cemetery one by one. Every time they passed, Zhu Youjian would lead his ministers to bow to him.

The soldiers and generals present couldn't help but see this scene and the corners of their eyes were wet. Who would have thought that one day the nobles of the court and the noble emperor would bow their heads for a group of lowly military households?

Among the many people watching, the young men were excited to sign up for the army immediately, and enjoy this honor for no other reason, just for death.

More than 400 sacrificed soldiers bowed at an average of three or four seconds at a time, for more than twenty minutes in a row, and Zhu Youjian repeated the same action.

His physical fitness is not very strong. He bowed more than 400 times in a row, which was a little unbearable, but he was still persevering.

Because the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been bullied for too long, he must show a firm enough attitude to truly improve the status of these soldiers and truly take the military power in his hands.

Zhu Youjian took the lead in bowing, so the ministers naturally couldn't watch it. Xiao Sheng was also among them and bowed together.

After all the Jinyiwei holding urns entered the cemetery, Zhu Youjian brought all the officials into it.

The Jinyiwei had already stood in front of the corresponding tombstone, and next to the tombstone were the families of the soldiers.

After the Jinyiwei stood still, he handed the urns to the hands of the families, and then they personally put them in the small sarcophagus.

"Closed the coffin!" A loud and long voice sounded.

Next, the soldiers standing next to them covered the coffin, and at the same time, Zhu Youjian led the soldiers to clench his right fists together, raise them over the top of his head, and place them at the top of his head.

This etiquette has not been formally stipulated, but it was only publicized among the soldiers attending the ceremony.

Through this ceremony, even if this etiquette was determined, after all, in front of so many people, this gesture was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After the coffin was covered, Zhu Youjian's hand had not been put down.

"Send off!" The voice sounded again, and before he finished speaking, a burst of cannons directly covered it.

The cannon fired nine times, and the sound was solemn. In the cemetery, there was a solemn atmosphere.

"The ceremony is over!"

In this way, the ceremony was completed. Nine gun sounds were considered the highest etiquette. After all, the emperor had the title of Nine Five Supreme, and Nine was the ultimate number. Nine sounds raised their status to the same level as the emperor.

During the whole process, Zhu Youjian did not say a word. After the etiquette, he took a carving knife from Xiao Sheng and engraved his name on the 430th tombstone after the 429 soldiers.

Then he used a special loudspeaker to say to everyone: "Don't repair my tomb anymore. Those silvers are better than to send to my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. A hundred years later, I will be buried here without treasures or golden jade clothes. I only need a handful of ashes and put them in that small box, so that I can be with my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian had discussed this with Xiao Sheng before, but the ministers didn't know about it. At this moment, he suddenly heard such shocking news and couldn't accept it for a while.

At this time, Xiao Sheng led the Jinyiwei to raise his fist over his head again and shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Flashes of shouts sounded, spreading from the cemetery to the outside, and the sound waves overwhelmed, and almost everyone in the capital could hear them.

The military spirit of the Ming Dynasty began to be established at this moment, and the status of officers and soldiers was improved and recognized.
