Zhu Yunwen raised his head slightly and looked into the sky, trying to stop the moisture in the corners of his eyes. These people in front of me risked their lives for a word of their own, and spent the best of the past five years, wandering in the sea where life and death are instantaneous, and moving forward in the dangerous rainforest!
They are loyal navy officers and well-deserved heroes of the Ming Dynasty! Zheng He lowered his head, waiting for Emperor Jianwen's response, but after waiting and waiting, he didn't hear Zhu Yunwen speak, so he couldn't help but look up slightly.
At this moment, Chen Xingshan, the Minister of Rites, walked to the edge of the high platform, his anger dropped from his Dantian, and he shouted with a thunderous voice: "Zheng He, all the navy officers and men, have experienced life and death for the people, sacrificed their homes for the country, and brought new grains to the seventy million people." , should be received with the etiquette of a saint. The empress, queen mother, prince, vassal king, civil servants and military generals salute, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty salute with military salute!" The herald spread the word in order, spreading Chen Xingshan's words everywhere.
After the rising and falling sounds completely disappeared, there was silence between heaven and earth. Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui stood at the front, standing tall, with their hands clasped together, their left hands on top, palms facing inwards, facing Zheng He's naval officers, leaning over to push their hands, with their hands above their eyebrows.
The queen mother, prince, concubine Shu and others bowed to each other! Zhu Di, Zhu Gui and other vassal kings bowed to each other! Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and other civil servants saluted!
Xu Huizu, Li Jian, Li Jinglong and other lords and generals saluted! The guards of the Ming Dynasty's capital army, the former navy sergeants of the capital, the security bureau, the scouts and other sergeants all knelt down in unison and looked at Zheng He's naval officers solemnly.
When the people saw this scene, they consciously dispersed, making the originally crowded square slightly more distant. Some people knelt down, some scholars bowed, and some retired sergeants saluted.
On the two floating bridges, Zheng He's navy family members saluted solemnly. Zheng He, Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying, Wang Jinghong and others looked at this scene, and tears burst into their eyes!
The world salutes you and is treated like a saint! In this world, except God and Saint Kong, no one can afford such etiquette!
From the emperor to the hundreds of officials, from the hundreds of officials to the soldiers, all the people are respectful! This was a courtesy given by Zhu Yunwen to Zheng He, and it was the compensation given by the Ming Dynasty to Zheng He for his huge sacrifice in the navy. Some people are gone, but the heroic souls can definitely see this scene!
When Chen Xingshan saw that everyone had finished their salutes, he shouted: "Salute again!" Zheng He and the navy officers were all moved. The man who had been strong enough not to shed tears could not help himself at this moment.
Is there any more noble etiquette in this world than the imperial salute? No! Never again! The Emperor knows our hard work and our sufferings. Even if no one in the world knows where we have been or what we have been through, the Emperor knows!
His salute after salute hit people's hearts.
"Three salutes!" Chen Xingshan shouted again. Zheng He shed tears, looked at Emperor Jianwen and others who were saluting, and shouted sternly: "All navy officers and men, return the salute!" Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying, Wan Qinglin, Wang Jinghong and others knelt down on one knee solemnly and uniformly , with his upper body straightened and his eyes looking toward the high platform, his hazy vision was full of heat!
Zhu Yunwen stood up, the vassal kings and officials stood up, the soldiers and the common people stood up. The solemn scene deeply shocked everyone's heart. The respectful atmosphere and the evocative journey were intertwined, falling into everyone's eyes and becoming an indelible red mark in their lives.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zheng He's naval officers, stepped forward and shouted: "Ping Shen!" Zheng He's naval officers stood up, and everyone turned their attention to Emperor Jianwen.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the many missing soldiers of Zheng He Navy, and even the familiar figure of Zhang Yu was missing. His heart tightened, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Commanders of Zheng He Navy, listen to the truth. On behalf of the 70 million people of Ming Dynasty, I thank you." You crossed the boundless sea and arrived in an unknown wilderness to obtain new types of food and crops. You made huge sacrifices, but remember that because of your fearless sacrifices, countless people will survive. !”
"Because of you, the Ming Dynasty will turn the five grains that have been produced for thousands of years into six grains! Because of you, high-yielding crops will grow on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and countless people will no longer go hungry. Because of you, the national power of the Ming Dynasty will become greater. For prosperity! Every naval officer who sacrificed his life was a brick and stone in creating a prosperous age, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and a hero whose name will be remembered forever!" Zheng He's eyes were filled with tears.
Luo Guanying also restrained her past unruliness and couldn't help crying. During this voyage, many of the brothers who accompanied me died, either on the sea, in the rainforest, or in storms, waves, and drifting ice!
Brothers, have you heard, have you heard, the emperor said, you are the bricks and stones of the prosperous Ming Dynasty, the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the heroes who will leave your name forever!
"I order that the names of all the sacrificed officers and soldiers of Zheng He's navy will be engraved on the Ming Dynasty Heroes and Martyrs' Monument! The hero's and martyrs' monuments should be set up everywhere for all the people to pay their respects!"
"I order that Ming Dynasty students who enter society schools, county schools, government schools, or Imperial College must first pay homage to the Monument of the Martyrs!"
"I order that all officials who are promoted or take up their posts must first pay homage to the monument of heroes and martyrs!"
"I decree that the six rites for weddings in the Ming Dynasty will be changed to seven. After the nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for dates, and personal greetings, a blessing will be added. For those who wish to be blessed, the couple will worship the monument of heroes and martyrs together. Blessings of peace to the heroes and the people!”
"My order..." Along with the voice of the herald, the decrees were spread across both sides of the Yangtze River! Zheng He never expected, nor did countless Zheng He navy officers and soldiers, that Emperor Jianwen would do this for the navy officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives!
In order to remember the heroes, in order not to forget the heroes, in order to commemorate the heroes, the emperor actually set up a series of rules!
Brothers, did you hear this? Ming Dynasty will always remember you, and no one will forget you. Isn’t it gratifying that your souls are in heaven?
Zhu Yunwen broke all kinds of restrictions in order to let everyone remember the martyrs who died and gave their lives!
Thinking back to future generations, in order to create peace, how many ancestors paid tragic sacrifices. After fighting one battle after another, the cost of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians was exchanged for a new world!
But on the invisible Internet, in the textbooks, in the cities that have experienced the pain of the massacre, some people despise the sacrifices of the martyrs, some doubt the stupidity of the martyrs, and some blame the martyrs for not Kneel down and beg for life, but some people are walking through the market wearing the clothes that the martyrs hated most!
Some people have forgotten the martyrs, they don't know the Monument of Heroes, they don't know that their peaceful days were fought for by the martyrs with their lives, they have become traitors but they still make noise!
Zhu Yunwen would never allow that kind of scum to appear in the Ming Dynasty, and decided to make heroes an indispensable part of the life of every Ming Dynasty citizen!
Regardless of birth, death, marriage, schooling, promotion, or career, you must pay homage to the Monument of Martyrs!
The heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty will be internalized into a symbol of the people of the Ming Dynasty through the binding of their actions, so that everyone can understand that it is precisely because of the dedication and sacrifice of the heroes and martyrs, and the watering of their blood, that we have what we have today. , only then can we have the present moment!
"I have ordered that matters concerning visiting the monuments of heroes and martyrs are included in the "Ming Dynasty Laws", and those who do not comply will be punished! The military and civilians of the world will supervise and report, and those who forget the heroes and martyrs are not worthy of being our people of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunwen shouted loudly!
Soldiers who sacrificed their lives, I will never let your sacrifices be in vain. I will take care of your families and take care of them. Your heroic souls will be remembered by the people of the Ming Dynasty forever!
The ordering soldiers shouted loudly: "Those who forget the heroes and martyrs are not worthy of being our people of the Ming Dynasty!" Baiguanshan shouted! Sergeant Shanhu!
Thousands of people shout! Zheng He led the navy officers and soldiers to shout! The sound was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth! Zhu Yunwen used his strong monarchy, the "Great Ming Law", and the beyond-standard regulations to integrate the sacrificed heroes into life and etiquette, and gave all the sacrificed heroes an insurmountable courtesy!
Zheng He stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "For the last 14,382 soldiers who have sacrificed their lives, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Zheng He and the navy saluted at the same time! As soon as the huge number of sacrifices came out, countless people couldn't help but take a deep breath.
On the floating bridge, Zhang Xi and Zhang Fu couldn't help crying. They looked over and over again, but they could not find their father Zhang Yu!
With his father's official position and status, he will never miss the grand ceremony of returning, unless... he has fourteen thousand three hundred and eighty-two soldiers!
The huge sacrifice made the family members of the navy on the pontoon unbearably sad! There are more than 26,000 people in total, more than half of them have been lost. Is my son, my husband, and my father still there?
Zhang Ze felt his mother's body swaying a little and quickly supported her. Zhang's mother looked at the naval officers uneasily, pushed Zhang Ze's hand away, and said, "Don't help me. Even if your brother died, he was still a hero of the Ming Dynasty. We are the family of heroes and martyrs. We are a family of heroes." Something to be proud of!" Zhang Ze's eyes turned red: "Mom..." Li Bao raised his hand, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said to his son Li Chun beside him: "If your eldest brother is no longer here, you can give me I'm going to the navy!" Li Chun clenched his fists and nodded heavily: "Dad, no matter whether the eldest brother comes back or not, I will go to the navy!" Li Bao rubbed Li Chun's head, his heart full of bitterness.
The family is grieving, but also glorious. The emperor gave the highest honor to those who sacrificed their lives. They are heroes, and we are their families!
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and shouted: "Zheng He, report the list of soldiers who died. Every name must not be omitted!" Zheng He looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise. These were 14,382 soldiers, so It will take a long time to read out the names of so many soldiers!
But Zhu Yunwen is waiting, hundreds of officials are waiting, and all the people are waiting! Zheng He did not hesitate, and ordered someone to take out the list of martyrs of the navy, and then shouted: "List of naval heroes: Zhang Yu, Wu Yi, Sun Chang, Liang Bao..." Every person who died was recorded in the register.
Everyone who sacrificed has a name. Everyone who sacrificed is here. Zheng He recited the names one by one, and scenes from the past emerged, including the sea, storms, rainforests, giant pythons, fights, and deaths...
