Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

In Huilong Township, Li Yuanjia's sacrifice shocked the whole Huilong Township.

Especially when the soldiers of the whole regiment brought the villagers of Shanhuai Village back to Huilong Township the next day, the people in the whole township were shocked. Only then did the political commissar of the regiment know that three of the ten soldiers they had sent earlier had sacrificed before sending the news to several villages downstream and Huilong Township overnight.

Although the remaining seven people did not die, almost all fell ill. When the two soldiers returned to the downstream village, they died due to severe hypothermia. They relied on their will to support them and ran back.

The political commissar did the math, and from the time the ten-member team was dispatched to the temporary dike break in Shanhuai Village, the flood rushed straight down, and it took no more than two hours.

In other words, they were only two hours ahead of the flood, and during the day they walked the mountain road to Shanhuai Village for nearly half a day.

Extreme fatigue, dark nights, mountain roads, and severe hypothermia in the mountains led to this tragedy.

The political commissar learned that after notifying the first village downstream, these soldiers proceeded directly along the river valley in order to speed up their journey, because it would take longer to climb up the mountain road again.

And because the upstream was cut off for a short time, there was hardly any river water in the valley, but it could point them in the direction.

And the risk of doing that is that if they don't run through the flood, what awaits them will be wiped out.

Even so, two soldiers died of hypothermia, and the remaining one stepped on the air on the way back and fell into the nearby canyon.

No one had time to find the remains.

Soldiers who were almost covered in mud, and when they came back, these soldiers were carrying the stretcher.All the people of Huilong Township along the way were silent.

When these soldiers left, they knew why they left, to save the people of a village, and now, the people were rescued, but they sacrificed four soldiers, including their regiment leader.

That young captain who looks very young, but is very strict with his soldiers, but very kind to the common people.

Almost all the people in Huilong Township can recall the smile and voice of the young leader, and many children even accepted the candy he gave them.

But today, that young man was lying quietly on a stretcher, unable to get up again.

The mayor of Huilong Township had already packed up some houses and resettled the villagers of Shanhuai Village.

And when the three thousand Imperial Forest Army arrived here, all the people in Huilong Township were shocked to find that the head of the regiment was actually a prince of the Tang Dynasty!

The heroic story of Li Yuanjia saving the under-year-old baby of Zhang Goudan's family has been spread throughout the village, but they never imagined that this is actually a prince!

This is a prince!

In the past, not to mention the princes, some small country gentry might not have looked at these lowly people with high regard, but now, a prince sacrificed himself to save a child of a commoner!

Such a huge impact made the people of Huilong Township feel unreal, but these are the facts.

Similarly, this fact made all the people silent, and the bits and pieces they encountered in the past reappeared in their hearts.

Accompanied by His Majesty's imperial decree, in addition to proclaiming the sacrificed prince Li Yuanjia as King Han of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial decree also issued an order that according to the reform regulations of His Royal Highness King Qin, the affected people will be funded by the imperial court, and the affected mountain locust trees will be temporarily resettled. All the villagers in the village plan to select a new village government and allocate land for them.

And express sincere condolences to the people affected by the disaster, hope they can rebuild their homes with peace of mind, have confidence in the Tang Dynasty court, and have confidence in the Datang army.The mayor of Huilong Township was asked to appease the villagers and properly handle the disaster preparations for the villagers. All food and other material expenses should be paid by the township, and the imperial court will make up for the township again later.

There was no punishment or scolding from beginning to end, only sympathy and concern.

When they heard the imperial decree, all the villagers in Shanhuai Village wept bitterly, and they couldn't tell what mood they were in.When you know that Li Yuanjia is a prince, you say that they are not worried, that is a lie.

Even if Li Yuanjia is willing to save people, he is His Majesty's brother after all.

After all, the changes in the Tang Dynasty did not last long, and even many of these people came from the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. It is hard for them not to worry about His Majesty's blame.

But now, instead of any blame, the imperial court still has to prepare a new village for them and help them rebuild their homes.

This... is there such a saint in the world?

What shocked them even more was that when the imperial decree was announced to be over, a Royal Forest Army handed Zhang Goudan a piece of money that was not too much, but equally shocking.

"Zhang Goudan, this is the compensation given to you by the wife of the king of Han Li Yuanjia. The money is not much, but the princess hopes you can accept it. The princess said that she did not expect her father to be so staunch, which eventually led to such a tragedy. The prince died before his death." It is my responsibility to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, if the prince knows about the tragedy of your father, if she does not deal with it, the prince may not rest in peace."

"So the money is not much, but the concubine hopes to buy a coffin for your father so that he can be buried. The concubine has a filial piety, so I can't come to condolences, and I hope you can forgive me." The Yulin army conveyed Fang Jiao's words to Zhang dog egg.

These words made all the adults in Zhang Goudan's family cry bitterly, and even the man Zhang Goudan burst into tears. He should have refused, but thinking of what the Yulin Army said, if Wang Ye Quanxia knows and can't rest in peace, he will not rest in peace. can not refuse.

A prince who can sacrifice himself to save their children will definitely feel guilty because of his father's death if the other party is alive, so although the money is not much, Zhang Goudan feels that it is as heavy as a thousand catties in his hands.

Many people in Shanhuai Village who watched this scene couldn’t shed tears. They originally blamed Zhang Goudan’s family, but at this moment they couldn’t blame them. They didn’t even blame the prince’s family, so what did they have? right?

The cremation ceremony of Li Yuanjia and the three soldiers was held on the second day. On this day, all the people in Huilong Township came.Not only did they come, but all the people had filial piety on those who had white cloth on their bodies, and those who did not have white cloth on their bodies were also wrapped in hemp.

In Shanhuai Village, the whole village wears sackcloth and filial piety, even the old village head.

The political commissar wanted to persuade, but with so many people, he had no choice but to give up.

When the raging flames engulfed the bodies of the four people, and when the flames were finally extinguished and their remaining ashes and unburned bones were buried in coffins, the Imperial Forest Army was also preparing to set off to return to Chang'an.
