    Lin Feng, who had been sleeping for a long time, was woken up by the pain of the gangrene under his ribs. He groped feebly in front of his body a few times with his hands. His right hand touched a cold and slender hand. He immediately woke up completely. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Zhou Ehuang.  Lie down in front of the collapse and take a nap.  Lin Feng lovingly stroked the frown on Zhou Ehuang's face, trying to soothe the pent-up sadness and worry, which immediately woke her up.  "Husband, you're awake." Zhou Ehuang whispered in surprise, then turned around and shouted: "Brother Lin is awake." Hurray, a large group of people poured in outside the door, headed by Xiao Fei'er, Duan Feihong, and Xi Mu  City, followed by generals such as Ge Chang and Feng Jingyun.  Lin Feng smiled and gestured to everyone. When he looked up, he looked at the roof that was still in darkness. He found that he was still on the tower. He immediately signaled Xi Mucheng to come over, bowed his head and whispered a few words in his ear.  Cheng nodded repeatedly and walked out quickly.  Ge Chang was the first to report: "All the enemy troops retreated last night, and all the cities were safe." Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, handed his hands to Xiao Fei'er and Duan Feihong respectively, and stood up suddenly with the help of his ribs.  The constant pain caused him to pout his lips.  "Let's go around each city." Lin Feng pointed at Ge Chang and Feng Jingyun, gritted his teeth and walked out.  At this time, the sky was not yet fully dark, and there were torches everywhere above and below the city, swaying rapidly in the cold wind. There was silence both inside and outside the city, and the crackling sound of burning torches could be heard in my ears.  "How many brothers have been killedinjured?" Lin Feng walked for a long time before asking with difficulty what he was most concerned about.  Ge Chang sighed, and Feng Jingyun whispered back: "The final detailed statistics of each city have not been completed, but the total casualties will not be less than 10,000 people." Lin Feng stumbled upon hearing the news and almost fell, Feng Jingyun gave him a hand  He supported him and comforted him hurriedly: "I asked specifically. The ratio of our injuries to the enemy's is at least one to three. It is estimated that the enemy's fallen soldiers will not be less than 40,000." Lin Feng remained silent, feeling sad.  Like the dark sky in the distance: 50,000 to 60,000 elite troops of the Central Plains were lost all at once in the internal strife between the north and the south. This is a huge loss for the Chinese nation. If you can really have these soldiers, you can completely sweep overseas.  It¡¯s a blockbuster.  "What happened to the enemy?" Lin Feng asked.  "There was some movement from the enemy camps in the latter half of last night, but the night was too dark and it was difficult to observe." Ge Chang replied.  So far in the offensive and defensive battle of Shouzhou, the Zhou army is unable to defeat the enemy. The next step is to either increase the number of troops or move to fight elsewhere. It is estimated that the possibility of fighting elsewhere is the highest, but this is no longer something Lin Feng can control.  Lin Fengqiang suppressed his turbulent mood, stepped forward, and softly comforted a young soldier who was sobbing under the pheasant, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.  Along the way, Lin Feng inspected the city defenses and expressed condolences to the injured soldiers. The sky became brighter while he was busy. When Lin Feng and the others reached the east gate, the sky was bright and the pale sun quietly peeked out from the thick clouds in the east.  Lin Feng quickly stared at the less dazzling sun for a moment, then turned to look at Ge Chang and Feng Jingyun beside him. His body was suddenly filled with strength again, and he couldn't help but roar. The brothers were still there, and Shouzhou City was still there.  The Southern Tang Dynasty is still there, even if there are all kinds of hardships and difficulties, just let your horse come over.  Ge Chang and Feng Jingyun also roared. Suo Chao, the general of Dongcheng, and Liu Chongjin, the deputy general who arrived after hearing the news, also joined the roar.  Lin Feng's heart was full of pride, and he pointed at the silent Zhou army camp under the city and shouted: "The two hundred thousand elite Zhou army can't shake even half of our Shouzhou. In the future, the whole world will definitely be the battlefield for us to gallop."  The generals suddenly became excited and beat their chests, screamed and howled incessantly. The exhausted soldiers after continuous bloody battles were also infected by the excitement of the generals, waving their weapons and shouting wildly.  When the wild shouts stopped, Lin Feng waved his hand, pointed at several generals and said: "Choose twenty soldier representatives to come with me to pay homage to the dead brothers." A group of generals agreed and quickly selected soldiers from different branches of the military to follow.  Come up.  On the way back from the east city gate, Lin Feng stopped from time to time to express condolences to the people in the city who were still busy, asked about the casualties at home, and comforted some grieving family members. Feng Jingyun, who was at the end of the team, specifically whispered to the families of the injured soldiers and civilians.  After a while, those people wiped their tears and followed.  When the bell tower bell struck eight times, Lin Feng and his party rushed back to the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Xi Mucheng led Zhou Ehuang, Han Xizai and others, as well as the generals and soldier representatives from each city, already waiting behind a coffin. They all wore masks on their heads.  They were put on white cloth hoops, and cloth strips were also tied on their left and right arms. Behind them, there was a large group of former officials of the governor's office with dull expressions. Only a few of them had cloth hoops tied on their heads and arms.  ¡°?In the woods on the street, Wang Zhenwei, a village soldier.  Xi Mucheng explained in a low voice while handing three white cloth strips to Lin Feng. Zhou Ehuang quickly came up and tied them up for him carefully. The other generals who followed consciously stepped forward to receive the white cloth strips and tied them up. Lin Feng took two quick steps.  , glanced at the extremely young face in the coffin, and felt a pain in his heart. He bent down and grasped the long handle in front of the simple coffin on the ground, and shouted in a deep voice: "Every city lord, follow me as Shouzhou hero Wang Zhenwei  Protect spirits.  " Ge Chang, Cheng Hai, Wei San, and Suo Chao quickly stepped forward and worked together to lift the coffin. Xi Mucheng and a village representative quickly led the way and headed north. Among the crowd, one person also lost his love.  The civilian woman could no longer bear it and sobbed. The sobs filled with sorrow and sorrow immediately ignited the silent sorrow. Cries broke out in the crowd. Seeing Mr. Lin who was leading the coffin, he saw such grief again.  In the procession of guarding the soul, the few pedestrians on the roadside stopped, respectfully stepped aside, and joined the end of the procession; more people heard the increasingly louder cries and walked out of their homes.  , silently followed the team. The team was getting bigger and bigger, and the cries were getting louder and louder. Han Xizai kept suppressing it and murmured the words in "Xingzhizhuang": "Yun Chen Ping's Six Wonders,  With one arrow from Feilu Company, the powerful enemy in the field did not attack but lowered his flag; the great scholars in the world looked at them from a distance and destroyed the strongholds, marched across the sea, and stood out from the crowd.  "This is the ambition he set on the battlefield when he was young. Now he has just arrived at the real battlefield. When he saw the heroes of the Shouzhou army and civilians who were not afraid of death, he couldn't help but think about it, be filled with emotions, and hummed softly. Turn left on the road ahead.  At the entrance of the alley, a group of people with their heads wrapped in white cloth had been waiting there. As soon as they saw the coffin, a middle-aged woman rushed over madly, screaming: "My son, my son"  Lin Feng let go of the long handle, respectfully supported the middle-aged woman, and silently cried with her. Han Xizai wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and sang loudly: "Shouzhou hero Wang Zhenwei fought bravely against the enemy to protect his family and country, but unfortunately died in front of the battle.  , Lin Feng, the governor of Shouzhou and the central governor, personally escorted the coffin home and respectfully invited the family to pick up the spirit.  " "Farewell to Shouzhou hero Wang Zhenwei.  "Ge Chang and the other four people shouted in unison, bent their left knees to the ground, and gently put the coffin down. The woman lay down on the coffin, crying bitterly. Lin Feng waved his hand, and Xi Mucheng next to him  The neatly folded Black Dragon Battle Flag was handed over. Lin Feng took it with both hands and slowly walked to the side of the coffin. He tremblingly unfolded the battle flag and slowly covered Wang Zhenwei's face with tears in his eyes.  He helped the Queen Mother, who was almost fainting from crying, to the side. Lin Feng stood up straight, punched his chest three times, and roared in a deep voice: "Blessings to the heroic spirit, may God bless the Tang Dynasty and Shouzhou forever.  " Ge Chang and the other four people beat their chests and sang together. The crowd cried louder. Lin Feng waited for the cry to subside a little, then turned to face the dark crowd and shouted: "Fellow Shouzhou folks, please be quiet.  " The crowd slowly calmed down, and there were only a few inaudible sobs and the sound of strong wind. Lin Feng cleared his throat and raised his voice and said: "Heroes pass away, but their spirits live forever. Today, Lin represents the Shouzhou Governor's Office.  The Central Governor's Office solemnly swore in front of Wang Zhenwei, the heroic representative of Shouzhou: 1. All local soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives in the defense of Shouzhou like Wang Zhenwei will enjoy the same treatment as Shouzhou soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of their casualties.  2. In the territory of Quan Shouzhou, heroes¡¯ spirits and tombs are never allowed to be desecrated, and offenders will be punished by one level; 3. From now on, the homes of all Shouzhou heroes will be the land of heroes¡¯ spirits, and no one may infringe upon them at any time.  If you break in without permission, Home of Heroes has the right to take all measures to protect your life, property and freedom. All actions will be regarded as legitimate defense and will not be held accountable.  " Hearing this, several generals who had lowered their heads in silence could not help but raise their heads at the same time. Many former officials of the governor's office had expressions of shock on their faces. These three rights can be big or small, and their significance is extraordinary. With this  At the same time, several faint exclamations sounded from the crowd. At this time, Xi Mucheng and Han Xizai quickly wrote Lin Feng's oath on a piece of white paper, and presented the pen to Lin Feng for his signature.  With a flourish, he wrote down his name, and then handed the white paper to Wang Zhenwei's parents with both hands. Wang's father looked surprised, took the white paper with both hands, carefully put it into his arms, and  Gently pushing the tearful Queen Mother, they all bowed to Lin Feng and thanked her. ¡°At the beginning, when Lin Feng established the concept of inviolability of private property in the name of appeasing the heroic spirit, many people did not realize the far-reaching impact of this concept.  When someone raised an objection, the number of people in Shouzhou and Lin Feng's men who had the title of Shouzhou Heroes was already over.The power is impressive and cannot be underestimated. From then on, with the overt and covert support of the rich and small throughout the Tang Dynasty and even outside the country, as well as officials with private property, this concept quickly became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, became a rule recognized by everyone, and finally developed into a driving force for change in the world.  The important power of Lin Feng, from this point alone, is enough to prove Lin Feng's wisdom and long-term planning, and he is admired and respected.  " , the above is excerpted from "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? On the Private and Public Property" written by Shi Yan, a historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
