Chapter 943 Loyalty for thousands of years (first update, please subscribe)
Martyr's Shrine is not only a shrine dedicated to fallen officers and soldiers, but also a national cemetery. Located in the southern suburb of Yingtian, Martyr's Shrine covers an area of ​​hundreds of hectares. This large-scale cemetery is full of green, which looks like national defense green.Like all cemeteries, this place looks a bit deserted. On the green cemetery, there are only a few white tombstones stretching into the distance. They are white marble tombstones. Although the number is small, this is just the beginning.

At the entrance of the cemetery, there is a Chinese-style city gate-style archway. On the central porch of the archway is written "Loyalty and Martyrdom", on the right porch is written "Chengren", and on the left porch is written "Quyi", which is taken from Wen Tianxiang's death. The poem "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, but only when righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is supreme."

Going further in, along the pines and cypresses on both sides of the passage, you can see a large-scale Chinese-style building, which is the Martyr's Shrine. Its shape is borrowed from the Hanyuan Hall in the Tang Dynasty—completely from the hands of Emperor Zhu. , he drew a sketch of the restoration of the Hanyuan Hall in later generations based on his memory, and then handed over the sketch to the architects. It took three years to build this large palace-like building. From the day it was built, it has the most Chinese charm in South America. Huaxia-style architecture.

Don't build a palace and build a loyal temple!
From this we can see the difference between Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties!

The Martyrs' Shrine not only enshrines the tablets of the fallen soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but also enshrines the tablets of the Chinese loyal ministers and righteous men from the pre-Qin period to the end of the Ming Dynasty. To a certain extent, this is the inheritance of Chinese civilization.

After all, Ming Dynasty, which was founded in South America, is just a member of China's thousands of years of history, and the heroes and sages of China can receive sacrifices four times a year here.

For the Ming Dynasty, this is not only a martyr's shrine for offering sacrifices to the martyrs, but also a memorial center. The right wing side hall is the pantheon, which enshrines the Chinese sages, while the left wing side hall is the tour hall, displaying the military equipment of the Ming army and the captured weapons. Since the day when the weapons of various countries were built, schools have often organized students to visit here.

Today, as in the past, elementary school students from Yingtian School came here to visit. What is different from the past is that the quiet Martyr's Shrine on weekdays seems a bit "noisy".

"Bang! Bang..."

When a neat row of gunshots came from the empty cemetery, the students who were visiting stood at attention one after another, looking in the direction of the gunshots.The funeral of the martyrs is going on, and people will always die in war. Every day, the ashes of the fallen soldiers are sent to Yingtian from the front line, and funerals are going on every day in the cemetery of the Martyrs' Shrine.

Under the leadership of the teacher, the students walked in the direction of the gunfire among the white tombstones on the green field. These young students were full of curiosity about the funeral of the soldiers, and even had some yearning for it. After all, , in Daming's middle school texts, there is a description of a soldier's funeral.

Solemn and solemn.

This is the first time they have witnessed the funeral of the army, but unlike the description in the book, there is no sobbing of relatives here today.

"boom……"

After the students approached, they saw the funeral going on more than ten meters away.

Six armed soldiers raised their rifles and fired into the air.

"Prepare... let go!"

"boom!"

The gunshots sounded again with the sergeant's password. Although the gunshots made the students tremble slightly, their expressions became more solemn at this time.

The students consciously lined up and saluted the cemetery.

"boom!"

"Doo...beep...beep, beep...beep, beep..."

After the gun salute was over, the bugle player picked up the bugle and blew the lights-off horn. The low-pitched lights-off horn sounded extremely solemn at this time.

In front of the tomb, there were no relatives seeing off, only six soldiers in uniforms stood there, and the coffin that was about to be buried was covered with the national flag. This is the glory of soldiers.

Accompanied by the low and solemn lights-off signal, the six soldiers standing beside the coffin raised the national flag at the same time. They wore white gloves on their hands, and then gently folded the national flag along the center line. The soldiers followed the standard steps of folding the flag, Standing on both sides of the military coffin, the six hands intertwined, and the national flag was gently folded up.

The leading non-commissioned officer folded his arms and embraced the national flag on his chest, and then walked slowly towards the soldiers in front of the cemetery.

"This flag, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor and the country, is dedicated to you! It is used to thank your brother for his glorious, loyal and respectable contribution to the empire. I would like to use this flag to express the gratitude of the entire country and the Imperial Legion to him. gratitude."

Children can even memorize this passage, which is a "semaphore as a gift" written in a book. Logically, it should be given to the relatives of the fallen officers and soldiers. If they have no relatives, they should be given to his brothers, comrades-in-arms.

In fact, many soldiers who died in the Ming Dynasty had no relatives. They traveled across the ocean and came here alone. They used their blood and loyalty to create this country and opened up this land for the Chinese nation. They were buried in Zhonglie Temple, they deserve to be worshiped and cherished.

The non-commissioned officer's voice was low, and he gently sent the national flag to his comrades with both hands. Although everything seemed to be a process, when the soldier took the national flag, he also hugged it to his chest with both arms, as if Hugging like a brother.

After completing the "flag presenting ceremony", the non-commissioned officer saluted the young soldier. His movements were gentle, as if full of reluctance. Everything at this time seemed so solemn...

Remember them in the name of His Majesty the Emperor and the country, and thank them!

In Daming, almost everyone can recite this sentence, it is the sacrifice of the soldiers that established everything in this country, and because of this, they are worthy of people's respect, and they must be respected and cherished by people.

17 years!
In the past 17 years, the habits and personalities of many people have changed. 17 years ago, the soldiers were Qiu Ba, who was on the job, but now?Soldiers are sacred and respected.

What makes all this is the sacrifice of the soldiers, the bravery of the soldiers, and of course the country's respect for the soldiers and many guarantees from the bottom of their hearts, rather than just staying in the words "the soldier is a respectable profession" ".

In order to show respect for the soldiers, Da Ming used many seemingly dogmatic things, and used subtle to cumbersome rules to protect the interests of the soldiers before and after their lives. It is this kind of meticulous concern that allows everyone to feel the status of soldiers unusual.

At this time, at the funerals of the martyrs whose souls returned to the Martyrs' Shrine, these solemn students once again received the education of patriotism, which was more intuitive than the "military funeral" they learned in class. Their influence is also evident...

 It's still very uncomfortable... try to make it as late as possible!Thank you for your support and love!
