After Peicheng changed hands, Pang Long had a lot to do.
The first step is to arrange all the prisoners, remove all their equipment, and reduce them to ordinary civilians. Some people who are willing to continue serving in the army will also be reassigned and will not be issued weapons and equipment for the time being.
The second step was to make major adjustments to Peicheng's economic and political system. The biggest change was the abolition of the hierarchy. There will be no difference between the central district and the ordinary district. It will not be a symbol of wealth and status, and the people who live here will no longer be nobles.
Another thing is the funeral, which is held for all the martyrs who died.
At this funeral, the relevant personnel were dressed in black and followed the ceremony as they watched the coffins being laid into the ground one by one.
In order to improve efficiency and strive to complete it in one day, the funeral was carried out in 28 areas at the same time, and nearby mountains and forests were selected for the ceremony.
But there is another area that is particularly unique, because the funeral venue is located outside Peicheng, on a hill, where you can see the surrounding river valleys and the small streams that crisscross the plain.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a convoy carrying several white coffins was marching on the main road. Their goal was the hill outside the city, where the funeral had already been arranged and personnel prepared.
The front of the escort were all very familiar people. Jiang Wei was wearing black clothes and riding a white horse. Next to her were Pang Long, Deyuan and Ding Cheng.
The people in those coffins are Zhu Ling, Xue Yuhong, Sun Li, Han Jiang, and Saidong.
Zhu Ling was Pang Long's former lover. It was for her that Pang Long established the underground party and the rebel army. Zhu Ling could not leave Peicheng until her death. Today, Pang Long wants to fulfill his promise and lead Zhu Ling out of Peicheng in an honorable manner.
Saidong is a close subordinate of Pang Long, a core figure in the rebel army, and a good friend of Deyuan for many years. He has been a friend since before the end of the world. In order to implement Saidong's beliefs during his lifetime, Pang Long and Deyuan also planned to bury Saidong outside Peicheng.
Xue Yuhong, Sun Li, and Han Jiang have been living with Jiang Wei for nearly half a year, but Jiang Wei feels as if she has lived with them for most of her life. Even though Jiang Wei has recovered all her memories now and knows that they are not relatives, she still misses these three people in her heart.
Jiang Wei wants to bury the three of them in a place where the sea and the sky are vast, a place where there is no more sadness.
The escort was walking on the main road, with many civilians watching on both sides. They were not there to watch the fun, but to see the deceased off.
Because civilians are grateful, they will not forget who led them towards a democratic society where everyone is equal. These dead people may not be known to civilians, but they are all people who sacrificed their lives because of the revolution and deserve everyone's respect.
When the large team reached the city gate, an old man suddenly broke out from the crowd on the edge and fell directly at the front of the escort team.
In order not to let the old man hinder the progress, a soldier stepped forward to help the old man and tried to lead him away.
But the old man pointed at Jiang Wei and shouted: "Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, it's me, it's me, I'm Xinmu."
The old man's voice was hoarse and he looked decrepit. Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment and didn't seem to recognize him.
"Jiang Wei, I am really Xinmu. Do you remember the underground supermarket? Do you remember that time I used Jiyi hormone to save you?"
"Xinmu, is it really you? Are you still alive?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.
"Yes, I have always been alive. I know everything. I live in a neighboring town. Hanjiang comes to visit me several times a week and brings me things every time. Hanjiang is my favorite
Good friend, so please, let me attend his funeral. "The old man suddenly knelt down, his eyes gradually turned red, and tears began to drip.
Jiang Wei suddenly remembered that Han Jiang went to a neighboring town to buy things every week, and would stay in the neighboring town for half a day every time. Jiang Wei once asked about this, but Han Jiang said he wanted to see his old friend by the way, and said that he was his personal friend and there was no need to know others.
"It turns out that Han Jiang and you have become good friends." Jiang Wei was extremely surprised.
"Han Jiang and I made an agreement that if I left first, he would help bury me. But I didn't expect that he would take the first step. I didn't know what else I could do. I just hoped to accompany him on the last journey. So this Please let me participate in the funeral." The old man said while crying with a very sincere expression.
Jiang Wei turned around and asked Pang Long: "Is that so?"
"Yes, he didn't lie. Han Jiangnian once risked his life to save you in Xinmu, so he has always been in contact with Xinmu. He knew that Xinmu had no income and lived in poverty, so he often brought some food to Xinmu." Pang Long replied. road.
Jiang Wei's eyes gradually became moist, and she suddenly jumped off the horse and helped Xin Mu up herself.
"Captain Araki, thank you. I never had the chance to thank you. Thank you for showing up today."
"Son, let me be a part of the funeral."
"Well, let's go together."
Jiang Wei helped Xinmu into a military vehicle and told other soldiers: "You must take good care of him and accompany him throughout the process."
The transport team moved forward again, and not long after, they passed through the city gate and left Peicheng completely.
Looking at the sky outside Peicheng, Pang Long cried: "Zhu Ling, I finally brought you out."
Twenty minutes later, on the hill, the funeral was successfully held.
Seeing the coffins being buried one after another, Jiang Wei's tear ducts gradually burst. Bits and pieces of Han Jiang, Xue Yuhong, and Sun Li's life as well as hers kept popping up in her mind.
"Mom, I want to eat potato rice today..."
"Mom, my clothes are torn, please mend them for me..."
"Mom, please sleep with me today..."
"Daddy, when will you take me to the city to play..."
"Godfather, there is a parent-teacher meeting at school, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't forget it..."
"Godfather, when will you marry your mother..."
"Brother, thank you for the new clothes, but you also have to buy your own clothes. Look, your clothes have many holes..."
"Brother, let's go to the river valley after school today..."
"Brother, I know. In fact, I know that you have always liked me..."
At the funeral, Jiang Wei cried for the last time: "Mom! Brother! Godfather! Thank you for your love, thank you for everything you gave me, thank you..."
When the funeral was coming to an end, a combat helicopter suddenly flew over quickly in the northern sky.
A scout hurried to Pang Long's side and reported softly, but Pang Long said it didn't matter.
A few minutes later, the helicopter landed slowly in an open space near the funeral.
Most of the people's eyes were directed towards the helicopter, and Jiang Wei, whose face was full of tears, also turned to look...
Gradually……
Jiang Wei's eyes shone with light. She saw a familiar person, someone who was familiar and felt very far away...
"Jiang Wei!" Jiang Feng shouted, and suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Wei.
Looking at his former father, Jiang Wei
She was stunned, she was very excited, but she didn't know what to say.
"Jiang Wei!" Jiang Feng hugged Jiang Wei, very tight, very tight...
"Dad, wow, dad, I'm so sad, I'm so sad..." Jiang Wei also hugged Jiang Feng, but she still cried bitterly...
"I know, I know everything, cry, cry well, dad is here..."
On the other side, Song Yuan slowly walked up to Pang Long. The two had never met before, but now that they met, they didn't feel strange at all.
Song Yuan knew Pang Long's abilities, and Pang Long also knew Song Yuan's abilities. The two hit it off like old friends.
"Why are you just removing the interference now? Otherwise, I could have divined Jiang Wei's whereabouts long ago." Song Yuan asked.
"What can you do even if you divine it? It's a fool's dream to capture Peicheng from the outside. To disintegrate Peicheng, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Yes, although the cost is heavy, it is true. What you did is very correct, otherwise the battle in the north would not be so smooth, and history may be rewritten again. No matter what, I really thank you." Song Yuan said to Pang Long Bowed.
Song Yuan admired Pang Long very much because Pang Long had already thought of everything. If Jiang Feng had known about Jiang Wei's whereabouts in advance, Jiang Feng would have probably raised his troops to attack Peicheng regardless of the overall situation. Even if he captured Peicheng, the situation in the north would have been lost, and Jiang's power would have been in ruins.
Song Yuan naturally expressed his sincere gratitude for Pang Long's sacrifice.
Now, the war in the north has come to an end. The Gray Clan has lost all hope, and the situation was once one-sided. Nearly a hundred large holes had been drilled into the wall of the Imperial Palace, and all the coalition forces swarmed in, catching the zombie army by surprise. Nearly half of the zombie army has surrendered, and the remaining zombie army cannot hold out for a few more days.
Not only is the situation in the north good, but the situation in Wangcheng is also very optimistic. With Xiao Yifeng's Marine Corps joining the battle, Wangcheng's defensive battle became smoother and smoother. Basically, every battle resulted in more wins and less losses.
No matter how tenacious the Aolie Army is, it is finally reaching its limit. The battle line is too long, food supplies are interrupted, and equipment supplies are also cut off. Within three days at the latest, Aolie's army will be defeated. Failure is already a certainty.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the Northern Battlefield, Peicheng Battlefield, and Wangcheng Battlefield basically all ended at about the same time.
After the funeral on the hill, Jiang Feng and Song Yuan returned to Peicheng with the escort team.
The common people in Peicheng became extremely excited when they heard that the lord of Jiang Zhi's power was coming.
Everyone knows that Jiang Zhi's power is the largest power in Hedong. If Peicheng can be brought under Jiang's influence, the people will definitely live a better life.
As expected, not long after Jiang Feng arrived, Jiang Zhi's flags were planted on the walls of Peicheng.
Looking at such a flag, some soldiers of the rebel army were a little dissatisfied, and even felt aggrieved in their hearts.
Why was it that Jiang Feng took away all the victory that the rebels finally won?
Of course Pang Long knew the soldiers' emotions, but he had nothing to do. From the beginning to the end, Pang Long never thought about becoming the lord of Peicheng, nor did he think about establishing a new power based on Peicheng.
In a room, Pang Long asked Ding Cheng and Deyuan: "What do you think? Jiang Feng has become the master of Peicheng. Are you dissatisfied?"
"There is some dissatisfaction, but it is understandable. The success of the rebel army has a lot to do with Jiang Wei. And Jiang Wei is Jiang Feng's daughter, so this kind of thing is really unclear." Deyuan said bluntly.
