After everyone calmed down, Li Ke said in a deep voice: "You are all elite soldiers carefully selected from the Zuowu Guard. From today on, you will all leave the Zuowu Guard and belong to the Tang Dynasty City Management Guard." . But in fact, you are the first experimental army after the reform of the Tang military system."
"See these one hundred soldiers in front of you?"
Li Ke pointed to the one hundred veterans in the audience.
"Saw it!"
"The army respects the strong, but equally, the army also respects honor. The one hundred veterans standing in front of you have all survived at least five battles, and each of them has killed at least ten people. above enemies."
"At the end of the 19th year of the Tang Dynasty, I proposed the establishment of the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery for all the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, many people did not understand why."
"Some of these people are from aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, some are members of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and many are officials in the Tang Dynasty. Because the establishment of the National Martyrs Cemetery would cost the entire Tang Dynasty tens of millions of guan! Tens of millions of guan. It is equivalent to the national treasury of the Tang Dynasty for one year. In their opinion, ten million guan is enough to build two or three Daming Palaces. It is enough to buy several manors and more than a dozen kinds of meals for each meal. It is not the same for a month! It can last for decades. !”
"And spending tens of millions of dollars is just to build a cemetery for those mud-legged people, those untouchables in the eyes of some people, nothing more. For this reason, I fought against everyone's opinions, and the court did not approve it. My father and I The emperor decided to build the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery in the private name of the royal family!"
"Now, look at these veterans in front of you who have the same status as you, and use your voices to tell them why."
"Because of your existence, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is spreading under your feet! Expansion!"
"Because of your existence, Datang has become our pride!"
"Because of your existence, Datang becomes courageous and moves forward!"
"Because of your existence, the Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world!"
"Because of your existence, my father became the Khan of Heaven!"
"Because of your existence, the Tang Dynasty can roar against all enemies. Anyone who dares to offend the power of the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Li Ke's voice gradually became louder with each sentence, and even the voice of the soldier responsible for delivering the order became extremely excited, spreading Li Ke's words throughout the entire school!
"But in the end, what did you pay? Look at them, they have countless wounds on their bodies, their bodies are no longer complete! But more importantly, there are more of their comrades, their robes are closed forever Eyes! They watered the country of the Tang Dynasty with their blood, they dyed the flag of the Tang Dynasty red with their blood, and they used their blood to scare the enemy!"
"And I tell you very responsibly! Their today is your future! One day you will be stained with blood on the battlefield and wrapped in horse leather! One day you will also be disabled, buried in countless robes, and live with difficulty! Tell me, tell the people of Tang Dynasty all over the world, are you afraid?!"
"Don't be afraid!" "Don't be afraid!" "Don't be afraid!" Uniform roars resounded throughout the school grounds!
Even many young guys from the prince's clan got excited and roared angrily.
Li Ke raised his hands and made a downward movement. The roaring voices almost stopped at the same time and became extremely quiet in an instant.
"You will be injured! You will die in battle! But you will let the flag of the Tang Dynasty be planted in every enemy's land!"
"But you will let your parents, wives, and children live in peace in every corner of the Tang Dynasty."
"But you will allow countless others who come after you to follow the same path as you!"
"For the peace of the world, for the people to live in peace, for the sun and the moon to shine, for the rivers to be made, all are from the Tang Dynasty, for thousands of years later, the flag of the Tang Dynasty will still stand on the top of the world! Your spirit will last forever, that's why The reason why I am willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to build the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery!"
"Because it is not just a cemetery, it is the immortal heroic spirit guarding our Tang Dynasty! It is a monument condensed with the blood of countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Because of its existence, our countless descendants can have enough to eat, live in good houses, and read good books, so that their world will no longer have wars, hunger, and poverty!"
"The world is not peaceful, and the world is not peaceful either. The reason why people in the world can live in peace and quiet is because of people like you who carry the burden forward!"
"But, this is not enough!" Li Ke changed his voice and said loudly.
"In the Northeast, Goguryeo is eyeing our Tang Dynasty. They are always concerned about our country, and they even do not hesitate to send assassins to kill me."
"In the north, many tribes of Turks such as Xue Yantuo only surrender on the surface, but as long as our Tang Dynasty shows a little fatigue, they will reveal their hidden fangs at any time."
"In the West, although the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have professed vassalage to the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang and other countries have repeatedly treated the Tang Dynasty with the support of the Western Turks. They are like the destroyed Tuyuhun, ready to rob us at any time. Loot our land of the Tang Dynasty and massacre our people of the Tang Dynasty."
"In the southwest, Tubo relied on its geographical advantages and believed that the Tang Dynasty could not use its troops. It repeatedly sent troops to plunder the people of the Tang Dynasty and humiliated the princess of the Tang Dynasty."
"In the south, countries such as Nanzhao, Linyi, and Zhenshi have never sincerely surrendered!"
"The enemies are like wolves surrounding our Datang. They are always looking at us, wanting to take a bite out of our Datang and fill their stomachs! Now, although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have gone through hundreds of battles, they have fought their own The majesty and morale! But there are also countless soldiers who step onto the battlefield without rigorous training!"
"You are fighting with your lives, but as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, as the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, even if there is a lot of resistance from the world's most powerful families, I have to do something."
"The National Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty Martyrs is a memorial, a heritage, and our heroes. But equally, as a royal family, I cannot let our soldiers bleed and shed tears. Let you abandon your wives and children to protect your family and country."
"So, even if the court is not willing, even if the wealthy family is not willing, I am still willing to make reforms, and you will be the first batch of reform pioneers! From now on, each of you will have something that belongs to you every month. Military pay is used to support your families, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious service and killing enemies! Even if no one pays for this money, I, the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty, will still pay for it even if they don’t eat or wear clothes!"
"But, I have a request! That is to train! Train! Train again! Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war! No matter how much money I spend, as long as it can reduce your casualties on the battlefield, I will spend it Got it!"
"So, tell me now! Are you afraid of hardship?!" Li Ke asked loudly.
"Don't be afraid!" The thundering roar echoed through the sky!
