Xu Yunyan suddenly shocked everyone present.
Xu Yunyan knelt down. The soldiers behind him, who knew what was going on and were looking a little depressed, immediately got off their horses and knelt down in front of their family members.
And the older one burst into tears right here.
"Captain, please get up quickly, get up quickly, how can we enjoy the kneeling of Commander-in-Chief!"
I kept crying here and pulling Xu Yunyan to get up, but Xu Yunyan just couldn't get up here.
"I'm sorry! It's really my incompetence that I didn't save the lives of these juniors. It's really my fault."
Xu Yunyan kowtowed to them while giving them heavy deductions, and the Tang Army soldiers behind them even more buckled their heads here. However, while they were buckling their heads, they made up their mind here that they would be loyal to Xu Yunyan no matter what in the future, even if it was He had to die in front of Xu Yunyan to protect Xu Yunyan's life. Even if he was powerless, he would fight until the last moment.
They made up their minds here to keep Xu Yunyan safe no matter what, and the families of those soldiers would say whatever they wanted.
Finally, Xu Yunyan was pulled up, but Xu Yunyan knelt down this time, which made these soldiers here feel quite emotional.
It was natural for their sons to serve as soldiers and receive military pay. They never thought that after dying in battle, a general of the Tang Army would kneel down to worship them and sacrifice them. This was the first time in history.
These people kept crying here talking about Xu Yunyan's good things, and the more Xu Yunyan said this about his good things, the more embarrassed he felt on his face.
"Fellow folks, I may feel sorry for you."
After Xu Yunyan said this, there was a bit of silence, and the folks who were praising Xu Yunyan here were a little curious, and the scene was in an absolute vacuum for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaopeng quietly stepped forward and said something.
"Your Majesty, the Captain, has made great contributions in defeating the Turks. His Majesty has been ordered to take up a post in Beijing after handing over the garrison affairs in the North. He may no longer be in charge of our Jiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture."
After Liu Xiaopeng finished speaking, the other soldiers also had the same expressions. They remained silent and did not speak. The elders' expressions were stiff, but they quickly became happy and kept congratulating.
"Congratulations to the Lord Commander for his promotion. After a good man like Lord Commander is promoted, more soldiers will be able to gain real experience."
It’s too late for us to rejoice over the real benefits. "
Everyone laughed while talking. Although it was very inappropriate in this sacrificial scene, they would rather make the heroic spirit who died in the battle a little dissatisfied than stay here to congratulate Xu Yunyan.
They know that the bigger Xu Yunyan becomes, the more people will benefit. He is not the kind of villain who crosses rivers and burns bridges and betrays his trust.
Although the family members of the soldiers in front of them were smiling and talking and laughing with me, these old people and young people could pretend to be happy, but the children could not pretend to be happy.
They only know that their brother or father has left them and will never be seen again.
Seeing the hopeful eyes of these children, Xu Yunyan sighed.
"Let's set up a school on the farm."
This moment can be said to have made the originally happy family members of the soldiers cry again.
"Sir, you have done enough for us, let's just leave the school.
We don’t expect our children to succeed as civil servants and become officials. I still hope that they will become soldiers and avenge their dead relatives. "
An older man said this here, but Xu Yunyan bowed to him.
"What this old man said is wrong. We must take revenge. But after taking revenge, Sihai Chengping became a soldier. Without any war, how can we talk about promotion?
I also hope that some of them can read and write to change their own destiny. Even if they fail to pass the imperial examination, at least they will be good candidates. They can have the opportunity to serve as substitutes in the county, which is better than facing the loess and back to the sky. Those who eat food inside are stronger. "
Xu Yunyan's idea was good, but what he didn't expect was that the soldier was laughing here.
"Lord Captain, your idea is good, but if everyone is to become scholars and students who have no strength to tie a chicken, how about this fertile land? It is impossible for orphans and widowers to cultivate this fertile land, right? We still have to proceed from reality.”
"Yes, what I said is true! I didn't think carefully, but even if you don't take the imperial examination, you should know benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, gentleness, respect and frugality if you are of the right age.
The six arts of a gentleman are not limited to reading. We should learn them. At least we know the principles of being a human being. With the knowledge we have mastered, we will not be simple-minded and be deceived by others.
When you look at the leisure time
At this time, can some school-age children be allowed to read and study, without asking for anything else, just to be able to be right and not cause trouble at home. "
Xu Yunyan retreated and settled for the next best thing, and the family of the soldier finally agreed.
"Then I'm sorry, sir, but sir, we have lived for most of our lives. We can't read a lot of words, and it hasn't hindered our life. Is it really necessary?"
Xu Yunyan smiled, "In the future, the imperial court will issue some new orders, and our lives will get better and better. If we are illiterate and issue new orders, we will not know about it. Even if someone explains it to you in hyphenated words, but Are you sure this is true?
What if he deceives you? Now that some word games have deceived you, how can you reason? At least the initiative in literacy is in your own hands. "
Xu Yunyan's words finally made these people nod, "That's it, please sir."
"This is what I should do. If I hadn't brought your sons to the battlefield, I wouldn't have left you without a husband, a son, or a father. It's my fault."
Xu Yunyan apologized here again, but these soldiers also knew what was wrong and hurriedly said to Xu Yunyan here.
"My lord, why do you need to be like this? It is their honor to go to the battlefield. Although they died in battle, they also left official positions for their families that can be filled.
Although the level is a bit low and can only replace a halberd wielder, this is an official body that we have never dared to think about before. The lowest official body from the ninth grade is much stronger than the government soldiers.
With the position comes the phoenix, and it is too late for us to thank you here. "
Xu Yunyan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
"If they were alive, they wouldn't be just a halberd commander, at least they would be a captain. There was a huge difference between that time and now."
Xu Yunyan was still talking here, but these soldiers were easily satisfied.
“You deserve to be paid as a soldier, not to mention defending your home and country?
Lord Captain, you are in trouble, they deserved their death. "
Although he said this, it was not the same in his heart. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but these soldiers felt that Xu Yunyan might feel more uncomfortable here, so they began to send Xu Yunyan away respectfully.
This made Xu Yunyan a little confused. Monk Zhang Er was confused. I came to pay homage to my fallen brothers, but I was kicked out. What should I do?
