Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth funeral

The soldiers did not remove their armor, and a team of ten carried the body to the door of the other party's house.

At this moment, the body has been packed in a coffin, and the coffin is covered with the flag of Xinghan City.

The soldiers walked to the door of the house, knelt down on one knee and gently placed the coffin on the ground.

The woman who was still busy cooking heard the noise and walked out to take a look. She saw the coffin in front of the door, and it suddenly became dark.

"This, is this my son Xiao Tan?"

Wang said tremblingly with tears in her eyes.

She still remembered that day when her son came back and showed off to her that he had joined the most elite heavy cavalry in Xinghan City and would be a member of the Xuanshui Army from now on.

Heavy cavalry, as she later learned, were soldiers wearing such armor.

Later, whenever she saw such cavalry, she would take a few more glances, hoping to see her son among the many cavalry.

It was just a soldier wrapped in armor, how could she recognize him?

Some time ago, I heard that my son went off to fight against the Tatars.

She had been feeling anxious, even though her son had told her that the Xuanshui Army's armor was extremely thick, so there was no need to worry at all.

He easily beat five barbarians by himself, which made her feel at ease.

Later, I saw cattle and sheep being brought back from the city one after another. I heard that they had won battles on the grassland, and these were the spoils of war.

She felt somewhat relieved, but now.

Looking at the coffin in front of her, Wang's eyes were filled with tears.

The other soldiers felt bad, and it was too difficult for them to send the corpses of their comrades to the other party's home.

It's just that they feel it's inappropriate to leave such a matter to other people.

After all, there is no one more suitable for this job than them.

"Tomorrow, Shopkeeper Lu will hold a funeral for the fallen soldiers. Please be prepared."

The soldiers stood up, touched their chests with their fists, and saluted with the highest military salute of the Xuanshui Army.

After speaking, the soldiers turned and left. They were afraid that if they stayed, they would burst into tears.

If it had been them who died in battle, they probably wouldn't have had to feel such suffering.

There were tears in Mrs. Wang's eyes. When her husband arrived and saw the coffin in front of her, her feet suddenly weakened and she walked tremblingly to the coffin.

After seeing the familiar face inside the coffin, his eyes became even more sad.

...

"Have all the bodies been delivered?"

In the courtyard, Lu Chensheng was writing an article and asked the attendant beside him.

After getting a positive answer, he nodded immediately.

"Take this article and print dozens of it and post it on the street. The funeral will be held tomorrow. One person from each family must be present."

The soldiers who died fighting for Star Seoul must receive the highest standards of treatment. This was something Lu Chensheng had already thought about before.

In the planning of the city, the Martyrs Cemetery has been built.

When the attendant heard the words, he immediately started to do it.

It was getting late now. He needed to print this document as soon as possible and then notify everyone that one person from each family must be present at tomorrow's funeral.

The next day.

When the sun slowly climbed above the clouds and it was almost time, several pairs of soldiers set off separately to carry the coffin towards the cemetery.

At this moment, the area around the cemetery was already filled with people.

At this time, everyone was wearing extremely solemn clothes, with long sleeves fluttering in the wind, wearing crowns on their heads, and being meticulously dressed.

At this moment, Star Seoul City is already empty.

Although Lu Chensheng required that one person from each household must be present, after the news spread, everyone came to the cemetery spontaneously.

There are also many talented people or businessmen who come to play.

No one spoke at this moment, and they watched silently as a team slowly walked in from outside the cemetery, followed by the families of the fallen soldiers.

Lu Chensheng stood aside with a solemn expression, watching as the coffin was slowly carried from his side to the front.

There was a special officiant in charge of the funeral, and the whole process was extremely grand.

Everyone was watching at this moment, with a slight sense of strangeness rising in their hearts.

If you can receive such a standard of treatment after you die in battle, maybe it won't be a bad thing.

Outsiders, looking at the scene in front of them, feel a little weird in their hearts.

Come to think of it, there is no place other than Xinghan City that treats fallen soldiers so well, right?

The pension has not been swallowed up, so it is already considered very good, so how can you get such treatment?

After the funeral, the pensions were sent to these people's homes.

The pension is not just money, there is a plaque carved from huanghuali wood, with a piece of jade embedded in the plaque, and the word "Xuan" is engraved on it.

It means that this family has a fallen soldier.

In addition, the family will receive a sum of money every month from now on, and this will not be canceled until the soldier's two parents are no longer alive.

Apart from these, there are many other benefits, all in all the standards are very high.

Lu Chensheng has set up a special department to deal with the families of the deceased. Special people will come to greet them during the New Year and holidays.

If there is someone who is old and has no one to take care of him, someone will come to take care of him.

It can be said that everything is written clearly and very carefully.

"Do you understand? If anything happens in the future, you can come to us directly at the government office and we will try our best to solve all your troubles."

The officials held thick brochures and told each other about the benefits they could enjoy.

The neighbors nearby were all gathered outside listening to the conversation inside.

After listening to the official explain the entire treatment, he opened his mouth slightly, with an incredible look on his face.

To be honest, they never thought that soldiers who died in battle could enjoy so many benefits.

But it also made them understand more and more that the current shopkeeper took the fallen soldiers very seriously.

Not only will there be pensions, but we will also help these family members in the future. If there is a widow, the treatment will not change, and even the children will receive pensions.

All of this made the people on the side feel relieved.

Some people who had been worried about their children who were soldiers after seeing today's funeral were relieved now.

There is such a shopkeeper who thinks about them all the time, so what can he do if his son works for him?

What's more, besides working for Lu Chensheng, the soldiers were also protecting them.

When the Tatars invade, they don't need people to go up and kill them.

It is also their blessing that their son can sacrifice his life for such a person.
