Zhu Youlang choked and said, "Don't say these depressing words, you will all be fine!"

Yes, Zhu Youlang doesn’t even know the names of these veterans. These heroes who survived and died in the Ming Dynasty are worth remembering!

...

...

The sky gradually darkened, and according to Zhang Zhuguo's words, it is best to rush to the mound in front to rest.

This is one of the few open spaces in this swamp that can be used to camp.

As a person who has lived in this generation for decades, Zhang Guozhu's words are obviously the truth.

Zhu Youlang then ordered the entire army to speed up and arrive at the iconic mound before it was completely dark.

Fortunately, after the initial section, the path became wider and wider, and later it could accommodate several rows in parallel, and the speed of the Ming army also greatly improved.

I heard from Zhang Zhuguo that there are many such swamps in southern Huguang. In addition to letting horses fall into it, the most dangerous thing is miasma.

Zhu Youlang has a deep understanding of this.

There is a lot of miasma in Sichuan and Yunnan, and soldiers must use special wooden strips to block their noses and hold their breath to prevent them from fainting.

The Ming army is still experienced in this regard.

Finally, when it was dark, the Ming army arrived in front of the mound.

According to Zhang Zhuguo's suggestion, the Ming army was stationed in separate camps, and the Hu Ben army formed a battalion alone, Zhu Youlang lived alone in the central army's tent.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly used some dry food and prepared to rest.

But after he lay down, he couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was filled with the figures of veterans.

They must be very desperate in their hearts when the bloody battle in Hunhe River is right?

Why didn’t the court send reinforcements to rescue them? Did they be regarded as abandoned children by the court?

At that moment, their inner anger might not be just for the Qing army.

Zhu Youlang is also gradually reflecting on whether he should have some obligation to support these veterans and courts.

Not only these veterans of Hunhe, but also the Hu Ben Army will face the same problem in the future.

After all, not every soldier can find a wife, and perhaps he will suffer from hidden diseases when he is in a war.

These uncertainties will directly affect their happiness in the second half of their lives.

Some veterans even fought until they were fifty or sixty years old, and were alone and had no support when they were old.

When they were young, they could rely on the salary of the court. What should they do when they were old?

The court should support them too!

Therefore, Zhu Youlang decided to implement the retirement system and pension system at the appropriate time, so that these soldiers had no worries when serving the country and could devote themselves to killing the enemy wholeheartedly.

The bloody battle in Hunhe was a tragedy and regret, but it also awakened countless sleeping Ming people.

This is the general reason why I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood.

But Zhu Youlang didn't want the bloody battle in Hunhe to happen again.

This kind of tragic battle would be enough once.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the veteran Youyang gave Zhu Youlang and the entire Ming army a shot in a heart-warming attack.

The inheritance of the Ming army was split and blocked before.

Now these veterans connect the breakpoints and tell the recruits the glory of being a Ming soldier. There should be nothing more exciting than this.

War is never for oneself, but for future generations to be free from suffering from their ancestors and allow them to enjoy the life of normal people happily.

To achieve all this, we must overthrow the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty.

There will certainly be death in this process, but the Ming Dynasty will not forget the dead soldiers. Their names will be immortalized in the Martyrs' Temple!
