wild trail

Chapter 362
The army escorting the captives saw the crowd welcoming them from a distance, Lin Jianya stopped the team when it was still a mile away from the crowd, and ordered the officers at all levels to organize their own team.

After being busy for a while, the army marched forward slowly with their heads held high.

The sound of uniform footsteps spread to the ears of the common people, and the crowd suddenly boiled. This is the army of Daxia, and this is the patron saint of mankind.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi jumped off the giant deer, walked up to Wang Lang and bowed, "Chen Lin Jianya!"

"Chen! Lin Bark!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang excitedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said loudly, "Two marshals, please stand up quickly! This battle has given us the prestige of human beings. This is a victory for the entire human race. You are all heroes!"

Lin Jianya said excitedly: "Your Majesty dare not be a minister, this is what we generals should do."

After finishing speaking, he pointed behind him and said, "Your Majesty, these are the captured dinosaurs!"

Wang Lang glanced at the back of the team, saw the group of tall figures, nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, you really didn't disappoint me."

At this moment, Lin Wuyun came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time, shouldn't it be time to start?"

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Let's begin!"

Hearing the words, Lin Wuyun backed down slowly, sank into his dantian, took a deep breath, and shouted in a resonant voice: "Start offering prisoners!"

After the sound, the people immediately fell silent, standing on both sides of the road quietly watching the army slowly pass by in front of them.

When some people saw their relatives in the team, they immediately shouted their names excitedly, and the soldiers who were recognized were very nervous at the moment, and did not hear their shouts at all, and walked slowly and neatly. walked forward.

This group of dinosaurs walked slowly towards the altar under the escort of the soldiers, dejected. They didn't know what their fate would be. Walking so many humans made them feel fear.

The crowd slowly followed the team, and when the army arrived at the altar, a scene that surprised the dinosaurs appeared.

I saw a fellow of my own race appearing on the high platform wearing human clothes.

Facing the questioning eyes, Fang Shaoshi's mood was very complicated at this moment, Jing Liang didn't look into those eyes of those of the same race, and shouted loudly in the language of dinosaurs: "Kneel down!"

The prisoners looked at each other, kneeling was a very humiliating act, could this person be crazy? The prisoners became noisy, shouting and cursing at Fang Shaoshi.

Seeing this situation, Lin Jianya narrowed his eyes, looked at the card at Wang Lang, and waited for his instructions.

Seeing Wang Lang nodding to him, Lin Jianya immediately understood, and dispatched troops to quickly surround these dinosaurs.

Seeing the human army approaching, the noisy voice gradually subsided.

Fang Shaoshi gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Kneel down if you don't want to die!"

Captives, look at me, and I look at you. In the end, some people chose to surrender, lowered their proud heads, and knelt in front of the altar.

With the leader, slowly a group of dinosaurs knelt down one after another.

Seeing this scene, the common people felt extremely proud. These races that once terrified them are now as obedient as their own dogs.

Lin Wuyun stepped onto the altar and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

The ready-made artillery made a rumbling sound, which frightened the captives to tremble.

But after a long time, they didn't find the shells falling, recalling the crackling sound they heard not long ago, they guessed that this sound might be some kind of ritual of human beings.

After the ten cannons were fired at once, Lin Wuyun said loudly: "The warrior is buried!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of dull drums sounded, and the people suddenly fell silent, watching the pairs of soldiers carrying the coffins and following the drums slowly move towards the tomb of the warriors next to the altar.

Inside these coffins lay the three hundred soldiers guarding the stronghold. After the army drove away the enemy, Lin Jianya had his corpses gathered up and carefully placed in the coffin, but due to the time , Most of the corpses have already been mutilated and incomplete due to the gnawing of wild beasts, and their appearance cannot be recognized at all.

The family members of these fallen soldiers knelt on the ground and cried out in pain, and their grief also infected the rest of the people, glaring at the dinosaurs kneeling on the ground.

Although these captives could not understand human language, it could be seen from this sad and solemn ceremony that these people were preparing to commemorate their fallen soldiers.

It doesn't know why human beings put those corpses in boxes made of wood. Isn't it the greatest honor for brave warriors to return to heaven and earth.

The team carrying the coffin walked slowly to the side of the dug grave, and carefully put the coffin down.

Lin Wuyun said loudly: "Bury!"

The soldiers carefully put the coffin into the pit and filled it with loess. Three hundred new graves were added to the warrior cemetery.

The soldiers responsible for the burial retreated slowly and formed a neat line.

When the rest of the soldiers thought of those dead Pao Ze, their eyes turned red immediately, and a feeling of sadness lingered in their hearts.

The soldiers took off their helmets and bowed deeply to the new graves.

Those priests who used to be in the five tribes of the grassland have now been arranged into the five tribes. These priests danced strange dances in front of the tombs of the warriors, wishing these warriors a smooth journey to heaven.

After burying the fallen soldiers, Wang Lang slowly walked up to the altar, knelt on the high altar, said a long eulogy to the gods, and then asked the families of the fallen soldiers to light incense in front of the altar.

Lin Ping's eldest son, wearing a white cloth on his head, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times towards these new graves. He didn't know that one of these graves belonged to his father, but these are not important now. They are all his father's subordinates, and it can be said that they are all his uncles, and they are all warriors like his father, so what's the problem with kowtowing to them.

The common people looked at this group of orphans and widows with respect, and wished them silently in their hearts. Although they knew that they had been rewarded by the court, no one went back to envy them. This was the glory their men paid for their lives.

After the matter of the fallen soldiers has been dealt with, it is time to judge the prisoners of these captives.

Wang Lang asked people to lift those dinosaur officers out, kicked them down and knelt in front of him.

"These people are the murderers who invaded our country of Xia and killed our warriors. We humans are a peaceful race, but we are not a weak race. Since these people dare to disturb our peaceful life and kill our people, They should be severely punished. Although these people look different from us, they are all created by the gods. It is against the law to kill them all. Today, only the first offender will be punished, and the rest will be reduced to slaves."

After Wang Lang finished speaking, although some people felt dissatisfied and thought that it would be better to execute all these alien races, but after thinking about it, these alien races are tall, and it is a good choice to work for humans as slaves, not to mention killing tens of thousands of people at once. People are indeed a little too cruel.

Fang Shaoshi translated his words to the officers of these dinosaurs. These people used to be the existences he looked up to, and he could decide his own life and death with a single thought, but now he has ended up like this. The world is so unpredictable, he can't help but let him feel embarrassed .

Knowing that they were about to be executed, these officers panicked and kowtowed to the human in front of them, but Wang Lang was unmoved, only one of them aroused his interest.

While most of the captives were begging for mercy, only this dinosaur raised his head and stared at him closely.

"Ask what position it holds." Wang Lang said to Fang Shaoshi.

Fang Shaoshi translated Wang Lang's words to it, but it looked at Fang Shaoshi without cutting it, and said sarcastically: "As a noble race, why do you obey human beings? You betrayed your own race, what face do you have to face yourself?" Clan, you are not worthy of being a human being."

Fang Shaoshi's face suddenly changed in anger, his words pointed directly at its pain, and he sneered from embarrassment: "You are still so arrogant when you are about to die, hurry up and answer His Majesty's words."

"You lowly bastard, listen up, I am the commander of the Shi Lunjia Empire, Hai Yahun Ernen."

Fang Shaoshi's face changed when he heard the words, and he looked at the prisoner in front of him in disbelief.

Wang Lang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Looking for a doctor on the side to translate the conversation between the two to Wang Lang.

"Fang Shaoshi, what does Haiya Hunenen mean?" Wang Lang asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, this Haiyahun is a common surname of Shi Lunjia, and he is of noble blood. This family has lasted for thousands of years, and this person is the commander of the army who has mastered Shi Lunjia, and his status is second only to the king." Fang Shaoshi explained.

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows, and looked at the man in front of him with some surprise. He heard that he had caught a big man before, but he didn't expect this big fish to be so big.

This person's status was so high that Wang Lang couldn't be sure to pay attention for a while. To kill such a big man, he thought it would be difficult to explain with Shi Lunjia, but Wang Lang was relieved after thinking about it. He must go to the Old Continent. Since It is already at war with this dinosaur country, let's make enemies.

Faintly cast a glance at the commander of the dinosaurs, and decided to execute these people. If these people are alive, it is a hidden danger to him. Big trouble.

"Execute!" Wang Lang waved his hand.

After finishing speaking, a group of strong soldiers came over, pushed the captives to the ground, and tied them up tightly.

A cold light flashed, and under the terrified eyes of the ordinary dinosaurs under the altar, heads were chopped off one by one and rolled down the steps, and the scene became an indelible nightmare in the hearts of these prisoners.

The prisoner offering ceremony lasted from morning to dusk. Wang Lang offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and thanked the gods. The common people experienced what it means to be proud. The heads of more than 20 dinosaur officers were placed in front of the tombs of the warriors to pay homage to the dead soldiers.

The historians recorded this prisoner offering ceremony in detail in the history books, and the descendants of human beings in later generations always have a sense of pride from the heart when they talk about this event.

The students praised the deeds of the heroes through their rough literary attainments, and soon there were even storytellers who specially told the stories of the heroes at that time, which was indeed unexpected by Wang Lang.

The war came to an end. Three days after the end of the prisoner offering ceremony, all the civil and military officials from the early court came to the scene. Wang Lang announced the rewards for those who have made meritorious service in this defensive war. People finally realized the importance of coastal defense.

Wang Lang decided to increase investment in the navy, and promoted two admirals to the commander-in-chief, each guarding the eastern and southern ports, and decided to choose a good place to build a new port in the north. This time the invasion of dinosaurs, if the north has a solid defense Without facilities, dinosaurs may not be able to set foot on an inch of land in China.

The improvement of the status of the navy naturally made Li Mu and Wu Gang very excited. Now their official positions are already on an equal footing with Lin Jianya or Heijiao.

Lin Jianya looked at the two people shaking their heads and tails, snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

The rewards for low-priced officers are nothing more than promotion and copper coins, but for Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi, two people who have reached the top, how to reward has become a troublesome matter for the Ministry of Rites.

The method Wang Lang gave was to implement the system of titles. The titles are just vain positions, which are symbols of status and status. The titles are divided into five grades: princes, uncles, males, and men. In order to prevent the titles from becoming cheap, just like the Great Patriotic War, Lin The two of Jianya only got the title of baron.

The title is inherited and will decrease from generation to generation, so the title of baron can only belong to Lin Jianya and his generation.

Although the title is a vacant position, the corresponding salary is indeed extremely generous. The annual salary of the lowest baron is basically three times that of a first-rank official in the Xia Kingdom, and there are also some invisible benefits, such as being able to get exonerated once. Right, of course this immunity does not include treason.

After Lin Wuyun finished explaining the title system, the officials were extremely envious of Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi, and even Lin Huo, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, regretted being a civil servant. Huo thought he was no worse than these two.

This time, although the military generals had all the limelight, in Wang Lang's mind, he still favored civil servants. After all, war is not the norm. The famous saying in China, even if a country is big, it is not unreasonable to be warlike.

As the impact of the war gradually becomes clear, Xia Kingdom will return to calm sooner or later. The foundation of human beings is still too weak, and the focus of Xia Kingdom still has to be shifted to the development of population and infrastructure construction.

The battle in the future will be based on comprehensive national strength. If Xia Guo wants to get involved in the old continent, he must completely digest the Shenzhou continent, use the rich resources of this continent to continuously grow himself, and ensure the safety of his homeland. Compete with other races for the earth.

　Pushing the book "Da Song Hunjun" is a very good book!
