Ming Zuo

Chapter 674

"This is Lin Jiazhi, the platoon leader of the [-]th platoon of the [-]th Company, and the only surviving officer of the [-]th Company."

When he came to Dengzhou, Zuo Menggeng personally went to the hospital to visit the injured soldiers of the First Marine Brigade.

Among them, he was most concerned about the [-]th Company of the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The nineteenth company fought so badly in this battle.

When the battle ended, there were only eleven people left in the whole company, and even the company commander Cui Zhen died heroically.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, our [-]th company did not embarrass you, we have held the position!"

Lin Jiazhi was stabbed in the stomach, and he has recovered a lot after treatment. He is the only one among the eleven who can stand up.

Facing Zuo Menggeng, his tone was so proud.

Zuo Menggeng saluted solemnly, no matter how much praise he gave to such a fighter, it would not be an exaggeration.

"Your [-]th Company has perfectly interpreted the spirit of our new army with your great courage, firm determination and fearless sacrifice. As the commander in chief, I am proud of you, and the whole army takes you as an example and example .In order to commend your meritorious service, I am here today, on behalf of the High Command, to present the flag to you."

Zuo Menggeng took a red flag from Fu Yijian and handed it to Lin Jiazhi.

There are golden ribbons on the four sides of the red flag, which are very gorgeous and are obviously used for awarding honors.

But when the red flag was opened and saw the words on it, all the soldiers around without exception were jealous.

Just because of the above five words.

【Number One Company in the World】

Number one in the world!
What is this concept?
What kind of honor is this?
Although with the achievements of the [-]th company, it is only natural to receive such an honor.

But everyone is a soldier, and seeing such a great honor fall on the head of the [-]th Company still makes them feel sore.

Looking at the pennant, Lin Jiazhi burst into tears.

"Commander, is our [-]th Company still there?"

Zuo Menggeng put on a tiger face.

"What's this called? You Lin Jiazhi is still there, and there are so many soldiers, why is the Nineteenth Company gone? You are alive, and you are the root and soul of the Nineteenth Company. Now tell me Do I have the confidence to pass on the spirit of the Nineteenth Company?"

Whether they were standing, sitting, or lying down, the eleven fighters all burst out with soaring determination.

"Have!"

A visit, a flag-giving, the impact is enormous.

It didn't take long for the whole army to know that there was a company that had won the title of "No. [-] Company in the World".

The new army is on the road from one victory to another, and everyone's morale is high.

How can you be convinced that others have won such an honor?

It is conceivable that in the future battles, all troops will show their greatest heroism.

Among the new army in the future, the most indispensable thing is the hero army.

Qufu.

The hometown of Confucius and Mencius.

With Zuo Menggeng's permission, Zhang Pu and others came here at the first stop.

After all, they are children of Confucianism, and they miss what happened in the hometown of Confucius very much.

But what they saw when they came here surprised them a little.

"I heard that the hometown of Confucius suffered a military disaster, and the people were devastated. I thought that this place would turn into a hell on earth, which is terrible. But I didn't expect it to be full of vitality, just like other places!"

Standing on the side of the road, looking at the golden and endless rice fields, Sun Shenxing was puzzled.

Along the way, they have already seen traces of war disasters in many places, proving that the hometown of Confucius was indeed badly ruined.

But in the fields, the smiles of the people, the enthusiastic labor and the fruits that are about to be harvested can never be faked.

"Does this Shandong traitor have some kind of sorcery? Why did this place come back to life in such a short period of time?"

The same is true for Lu Shiyi.

No way, everything here is really beyond their cognition.

It happened that an old farmer passed by with a cow, Zhang Pu stopped him quickly.

"The old man is polite."

Seeing that he was wearing a gown, obviously of extraordinary status, the old farmer said politely: "Is there something important for the official?"

Zhang Pu pointed to the surrounding fields.

"Old man, I heard that this place was destroyed by rebels from Dongjiang town a few years ago, and the people were in dire straits. Why is it so prosperous today?"

The old farmer couldn't help laughing.

"The thieves in Dongjiang Town are really hateful. They killed many people. But later these thieves were wiped out, and the county government distributed the land of the Kong family to the big guys. Now everyone has land, every family has land, and the county The government provided seeds, cattle, and agricultural experts to help. How can you not be careful with this kind of land? Take a look, this year everyone will not go hungry."

Zhang Pu and others couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies when they heard this.

In their view, rebels were rampant, and the hometown of Confucius and Mencius was clearly a disaster.

But today, from the perspective of ordinary people, an old farmer told them that there is a bright future behind such a disaster.

Yes.

The Shengxian government was wiped out under such a disaster, but the wealth left behind has nourished all the local people.

Zhang Pu and the others are all big landlords, how can they not understand the meaning of Shandong?
"Hmph, invite to buy people's hearts!"

Guan Yingzhen was furious, but deep down in his heart he felt fear of Shandong's actions.

Of course he knew that people all over the world wanted to own their own land.

But where did the land come from?

Of course, it must be snatched from the hands of these big landlords.

This is clearly a life-and-death struggle, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with each other.

Unless they can give up the land in their hands and accept the emerging system, they must be the sworn enemies of Shandong.

Everyone felt the crisis, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

They walked into Qufu County again.

Here, like other Shandong places, all the city walls have been demolished.

And without the restrictions of the city wall, the construction of the county seat was fully rolled out, showing a kind of prosperity that they had never seen before.

Seeing the craftsmen pouring muddy water on the road and then smoothing it carefully, Zhang Pu and others were amazed.

They have already seen that there is a long, long road ahead of the construction site.

The road is very wide and flat, but it cannot be seen what was used to build it.

But the place where the craftsmen work is connected with that section of the road. Obviously, the sparse muddy water they saw may be the material for road construction.

Zhang Pu and others bypassed the construction site and walked carefully on that section of the road.

When their feet really stepped on it, the solid and flat feeling made their eyes widen.

"Dare to ask what is this, why can it be used to build roads?"

Lu Shiyi grabbed a craftsman to humbly ask for advice.

The craftsman did not hide it.

"This is cement. It is mixed with sand and spread on the ground. After smoothing, it is firm and flat. It is perfect for paving roads."

Zhang Pu and others looked at each other, but they couldn't understand what the craftsman said.

This encounter really made them panic.

They all claim to be talented, and they don't think that there are things in this world that they don't know.
