Chapter 623: Reward for merit

During the Luanzhou War, the damage to the Ming army can be said to be a sea of ​​corpses and blood. When the corpses were burned, there were nearly 30,000 corpses. Fortunately, the weather was getting colder at this time, otherwise there would inevitably be a major plague.

Once Zhou Lin's army was defeated, there was no resistance in Luanzhou City. The defenders in the city didn't even want to escape and opened the door to offer the city. Most of the troops in Ji Town were defeated in Guangning, Liao Town, and were encircled in labor reform farms of all sizes to pay for their crimes.

Luanzhou is all military households in Jizhen, so naturally he knew about this situation. Moreover, the Huazhou Army organized several family letters to write activities, which made these people feel relieved.

Therefore, the military households in Luanzhou did not resist the Huazhou army and did not have any major resistance. Liu Shisan gathered the army and did not go south anymore. These corpses must be dealt with, as well as those surrendered soldiers who did not have time to escape. The corpses must be buried and burned to avoid causing plague.

The surrendered troops must be allocated to the labor reform farm to avoid escaping and causing trouble for bandits. These tasks are also very huge. Although they were a great victory, the Huazhou vanguard army had no expression of joy at all, because this time the Huazhou army suffered more than 4,000 casualties on the battlefield.

The casualties of 4,000 to 40,000 were casualties. The Huazhou Army achieved such a huge disparity in casualties against the Ming army, which was already an incredible victory, but for the Huazhou Army, such casualties were the only ones to see during the uprising.

The soldiers began to put away their former sloppy attitude, realizing that war requires bloodshed, life and death are without eyes, and may die on the battlefield at any time. Fighting is not only about a hundred steps away from the musketeer and the enemy, but only shooting, and a spearman and the opponent twenty steps away from the other party, and just a stab.

Fighting on the battlefield is sometimes face to face, zero-distance hand-to-hand combat, fighting, or even tearing.

For the officers, the casualties this time were a lesson for them. They generally believed that the Huazhou army was invincible and well-equipped. When fighting against the Ming army, they would definitely be invincible and invincible. Many people did not even expect that they would suffer large-scale casualties.

This battle made them feel much more awake. No matter what kind of enemy they were, if they fought to the death in adversity, they would burst out with huge lethality.

Moreover, the senior officers were worried. Such battles to enter the pass were all for the rewards of military merits when the tripod was determined in the future. If the casualties were too large this time and they would create a bad impression on Wang Jiangfeng, it would affect the future prospects, and everyone was nervous.

Only Liu Shisan looked indifferent and was still dispatched calmly there. Except for his trusted officers and soldiers, the rest of the troops were a little dissatisfied with him. Such a general who did not take the lives of his subordinates seriously was really unpopular, but the people below complained just because they complained.

In this position, no one can criticize Liu Shisan except Jiang Feng and Liu Shier. Many people are waiting for him to be criticized for the casualties of this battle. However, although Liu Shisan is in such a high position, she actually looks indifferent when encountering such a situation.

He was so open-minded that he wanted to rebel and left all the money accumulated by the Liu family in southern Shandong. He thought he was wise, but he did not expect that everything was under the control of Jiang Feng. After the defeat, it was impossible to die. He was also taken to Huazhou to ban him and be with the King of Jing's family every day.

After these experiences, he had long polished his mood and his original ambitions had long disappeared. This state of house arrest made him miss the days when he ran away from his horse and was proud of the battlefield, and he was no longer willing to care about success or failure or political struggle.

After Jiang Feng's side came out, he made great contributions in the battle to suppress the rebellion of North Korean slaves outside the pass. He was in charge of the general regiment training commanders outside the pass. Outsiders may not know that those who were close to the core naturally understood that the general regiment training commanders at this time would be the generals in charge in the future.

However, Liu Shisan did not have any nostalgia, but was going out to fight. As expected, he found an opportunity to organize an expedition pioneer team to go north. He thought that he was taking this opportunity to stay away from the center of power and could be proud on the battlefield at will. Surprisingly, Liu Shisan actually expanded his territory on the northern grassland and made great contributions. Among the literati within Huazhou, Liu Shisan had already compared Liu Shisan to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Over the years, the Han regime has only defended and never so proactively developed. With a person like Liu Shisan appearing, it is really exciting.

Not to mention how Liu Shisan was regarded as cold-blooded and cruel by the soldiers in the southern expedition, but among the people and even among many soldiers from other troops, Liu Shisan, who was young and powerful, was worshipped as an idol and a hero. Liu Shisan is also regarded as a sign of the Huazhou Army.

Now Liu Shisan has captured Dingbei City in the east of the Caucasus Mountains, which is one of the important places for the rotation of soldiers in Huazhou. Although there are not many people rotating each time, he traveled a long distance to fight with Russian soldiers who looked like a wolf and tiger when he arrived in Dingbei City. As long as he returned from Dingbei City, the soldiers were already trained to be strong.

Huazhou has long formed a regular law. Any low-level officers and soldiers who graduated from the martial arts lecture hall opened in Jiangfeng, no matter how excellent their grades in the martial arts lecture hall, would not be promoted to the actual position in the military if they did not go to the Dingbei City to fight in the rotation.

For many old men in the officialdom, Liu Shisan made great contributions to the Dingbei City, but Dingbei City became the place where the Huazhou Army debated has many benefits. As long as Dingbei City is an important training base, Jiang Feng and a senior official would always think of Liu Shisan's achievements and performance. They always have a position in the minds of leaders. This is the only way to get promoted and get rich and favored.

What the people around him think has nothing to do with Liu Shisan. After stationed in Luanzhou, the army cleaned up the battlefield and rectified the defense. They also arranged for civilians and prisoners of war to build roads. Although the roads in the Ming Dynasty were much better than before due to the booming industrial and commercial development, they lacked maintenance. For the heavy equipment in Huazhou, it was still a little simpler. It had to be repaired again. Liu Shisan led an elite force to attack everywhere and sweep away the remaining garrisons and fortresses everywhere.

About seven days later, the Jiangfeng Central Army, who had arrived at Shanhaiguan, finally made a judgment on Liu Shisan's battle. The emergency station in Huazhou had been established between Shanhaiguan and Luanzhou, and the message transmission would not exceed one day and one night. This time it was delayed for seven days, which shows that there was some controversy within Huazhou.

However, this judgment disappointed everyone who was waiting to see Liu Shisan's jokes. Liu Shisan was praised by the Central Committee, which was considered a decisive battle and had excellent training for the army. According to the super evaluation of the Military Merit Regulations, this reward may be an important cornerstone for these generals to become kings and princes in the future.

What is even more surprising is not this, but the rewards and allocations of soldiers below. The heavy cavalry and the light cavalry have received rewards within their share, so there is no need to say.

Although less than 3,000 infantry soldiers in the four infantry regiments who were fighting in front of the Shaanxi Border Army were transferred to Jiangfeng's central army. They opened a martial arts lecture hall before the battle and absorbed these three thousand infantry. The battle in Luanzhou was equivalent to the rotation of Dingbei. After the martial arts lecture hall, officers were promoted, soldiers were promoted to non-commissioned officers, and assigned to each army to the grassroots.

With such an order, Liu Shisan's front army's discussion on the chief general instantly calmed down. Although the news transmission in this era was not well-versed, everyone was relatively blind. However, when the Huazhou army advanced all the way to this point, the results and achievements of the Huazhou army everywhere showed that Huazhou won the world, and it was probably right in front of him.

In other words, the less battles are fighting, and the less opportunities the soldiers have to stand out in battle. If they can be promoted to a military academy, their lives will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes in the future. However, in the general environment of group combat in China, it is difficult and difficult for individuals to be promoted with outstanding achievements.

Unexpectedly, such an opportunity was achieved by these colleagues who were fearless in death in the face of bloody battles, which made people jealous, but it also made people have nothing to say.

The Huazhou Army won all the way, and the rear was constantly trained to form an army. The scale of the army was still getting bigger and bigger. Needless to say, the army was powerful, but Jiang Feng found that there was a problem, that is, the people below lacked the experience of fighting bloody battles and hard battles. After all, such an army lacked a spirit, a spirit of fighting in adversity and cruel environments.

In the battle of Luanzhou, I thought it was still the kind of army that calmly defeated the opponent with its momentum and firearms. I didn’t expect that the troops would have the opportunity to experience bloody battles. The four infantry regiments supported them in the bloody battles, and the rest were all selected seeds, and that momentum and spirit were enough to act as backbone.

Liu Shisan has also been in charge of troops for many years, so he naturally would not let the four infantry regiments fight alone. The reason why they were in front of them and did not support them was that they had the principle of training soldiers. This is certainly a bit cold-blooded, but for generals, they should not be limited to such a narrow field of vision, but should look further.

This strategic vision and the training of some backbone seeds for Huazhou are Liu Shisan's great achievements, so they naturally have to be praised.
