Cao Anmin looked solemn, and nodded slightly towards Li Jun, looking at the jars behind him, his breathing felt heavy.
It is a good thing to expand the territory once the success is achieved.
But who can remember the names of those soldiers who gave their lives for the rise and fall of the great man?
Thinking of this, Cao Anmin has already made a bold decision.
"On behalf of the people in the seven counties of Xuzhou, welcome everyone home."
Cao Anmin's voice spread far and wide, and reached the ears of the people who were looking forward to the return of their relatives.
Altars of ashes found their families, and families wept and mourned for them.
Before, no one knew what their real purpose of going to sea was, but at this moment, Cao Anmin didn't want to hide anything anymore.
Since Li Jun and the others can come back, it means they have completely conquered the sea.
After all the sailors disembarked, Cao Anmin looked at the thousands of soldiers in front of him, and the loss in his eyes was no longer there, but a lot of determination.
Among the crowd, some are disappointed, some are happy, some are painful, and some are angry.
Wang Xiaoer is one of them.
His father was a captain of the East China Sea Fleet.
With his age and ability, the future is definitely boundless.
But in the expectation of his family, he participated in this trip to sea.Even if the family members do not understand or even block it.
But in the end he made his way.
Unexpectedly, when he saw his father again, he was already packed in a small jar.
"Son, look at your father again, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him in this life."
Wang Xiaoer twisted the letter, but refused to look at the little jar anyway.
Since his father left, his friends and family have ridiculed him.It was such a funny thing to go out to sea to find the elixir. Everyone laughed at his father as a fool and an idiot.
At first, Wang Xiaoer tried to defend himself, but later even he himself believed this fact.
The Xuzhou Army has regulations that no matter what kind of arms you enter or leave the army, only those who kill the enemy in battle will be paid.
Even though Wang Xiaoer's father was the head of the ten husbands, he did not go out to kill the enemy after all. His death would bring shame to the family, and his wife and children would lose all sources of livelihood.
"I don't!" Wang Xiaoer's eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at the stubborn child in front of him, Cao Anmin stepped forward and stroked his little head.
The people around were shocked.
Who is Cao Anmin?
That is the Zhendong General appointed by the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Lanling, Xuzhou Mu, the patron saint of Xuzhou, and the invincible God of War of the Han Dynasty.
For the common people like them, he is like the sun in the sky, out of reach.
Who would have thought that he would come to the crowd and greet them cordially.
"What's your name?"
Wang Xiaoer looked up at the unfamiliar Cao Anmin in front of him, his eyes were a little nervous.
"Wang Xiaoer."
Cao Anmin nodded slightly, looked at the small jar behind him and asked, "Why don't you want to take another look at your father?"
Wang Xiaoer lowered his head guiltily, and whispered, "Everyone says my father is a coward."
"No! They are not cowards, they are all my heroes." Cao Anmin's voice suddenly amplified several times, enough for the surrounding people to hear clearly.
Everyone's eyes were all focused here, and there was a hint of doubt in everyone's eyes.
"As early as three months ago, the Marquis planned to send a fleet to open up the sea lanes and go to Liaodong. It was just to prevent the surrounding princes from spoiling the plan, so everyone said that they were following the example of Xu Fu in the East China Sea to find the elixir. Now, the hero returns, I want to clear their names."
Having said that, Cao Anmin returned to the high platform again, looking down at the many people in front of him.
"A total of 5000 of them left, only 470 came back, and a total of 520 and [-] died on the battlefield. They will not die in vain. It is because of their sacrifice that we have completely conquered the sea; because of their sacrifice, We were able to achieve the first expansion of territory in a hundred years, and planted the banner of my big man on those barbarian lands. They are all my heroes in Xuzhou, and they are role models for all our soldiers. Here, I declare , Choose a Fengshui treasure site outside Xuzhou City, and build a Monument to the People’s Heroes. To commemorate these soldiers who died for the country, I will engrave your names on it forever, and pay tribute to future generations, to commemorate forever.”
Cao Anmin's words were like sunshine in winter, completely illuminating these people who lost their direction and confidence.
Everyone's eyes were shining, and everyone's breathing was rapid.
Wang Xiaoer, this ignorant child, suddenly turned around and laid beside his father's ashes, pressing the ashes jar tightly against his chest.
Wang Xiaoer is just a special case, and there are more common people, with excited expressions in their eyes.
Live as a hero, and die as a ghost.Life is like this, what is there to be able to leave a name in history and be admired by future generations!
"Iron and blood make a big man!" In the crowd, whoever shouted first, suddenly formed a collective cheer.
"Iron and blood make a big man!"
Chapter 272
In the study, everyone was shocked after listening to Li Jun and Zhang Shun's narration.
There are so many minerals in the small Sanhan, especially iron ore.
It's really sad that this barbarian guards such a huge treasure and never knows it.
"My lord, Sanhan must be in our hands." Li Jun's face showed a hint of excitement.
"What do you guys think?" Cao Anmin didn't rush to make a decision.
Although Sanhan is good, now is really not the time.
At present, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao are facing each other in Liyang, and the time to compete for the ownership of the north will come.
Cao Anmin knew very well that according to the historical trajectory, it would take seven or eight years for the two of them to finally decide the winner.
Seven or eight years was really too long for me.The national strength of the Han Dynasty has been declining since the Huanling Dynasty. If there is another war that lasts for several years, it will only weaken the vitality of the North.
On the grassland, the heroes are constantly strengthening.
The five tribes of the Huns, Xianbei, Qiang and Jiedi are also taking advantage of the melee of the Han people to grow stronger. Since I have come to this era, I must not sit back and watch the invasion of foreign tribes and set off another storm of chaos.
Cao Anmin was worried about this, so why not the others!
