On the morning of the third day of entering Liangxiang City, all the post-war statistics had been completed, and Zhu Cihong ordered the Yongwei Battalion to gather all the generals above the general level in the county hall to hold a battle summary meeting.

In the center of the hall of the county government is a huge conference table made up of several large strip-shaped tables, Zhu Cihong sits at the top, and the generals sit on both sides of the long table, and the entire county hall is full of people.

The generals felt very new to this kind of post-war summary meeting, and began to refuse to sit down, feeling that it was disrespectful to sit at the same table with the prince.

Under Zhu Cihong's strict order, after Huang Degong took the lead, all the people began to sit down according to their positions.

Zhu Cihong summoned them to a battle summary meeting, in order to sum up the experience of the battle. He knew that an army with outstanding combat effectiveness could not be achieved by relying on sophisticated equipment and rigorous training, and the most important thing was that it had to go through countless battles.

In order to avoid detours and setbacks, and let the Yongwei battalion grow rapidly, Zhu Cihong needs all the officers and men of the Yongwei battalion to work together to improve the combat effectiveness of the army as soon as possible.

And the summary of the battle is the best way, where is the victory, and what is the advantage of our army and the enemy? Where is the defeat, and where does the enemy have an advantage? What caused the defeat of our army? In the future, how to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, maintain advantages and make up for shortcomings?

All kinds of problems exposed on the battlefield are all problems that need to be solved in the battle summary meeting.

Zhu Cihong hoped that the Yongwei Battalion would hold a battle summing up meeting to make a detailed summary of every battle in the future, and that this style of work would be maintained and become a fine tradition of the Yongwei Battalion.

Zhu Cihong swept to the crowd: "Everyone, the Battle of Liangxiang is the first tough battle we have fought since the formation of the Yongwei Battalion, and our opponent is the elite of the Jiannu Eight Banners who have been rampant outside the border and have few opponents. We won this battle, and at the same time played the military might of our brave battalion.

But it also exposes many of our problems, and this palace held this summary meeting today, which is to hope that you can talk about the shortcomings of our army, how to make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and everyone can freely put forward their own opinions and problems, without restraint! ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, there was silence in the lobby, no one dared to speak, and it was a little cold for a while.

Is it so real? Zhu Cihong was speechless, his status as the crown prince was too much pressure, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "Report the casualties in this battle." ”

Sun Yingyuan got up and saluted Zhu Cihong, and then said: "In this battle to recover Liangxiang City, my Yongwei battalion beheaded more than 7,000 levels, captured more than 200 people, plus the battle of Shijingshan, a total of 10,320 beheadings.

In the two battles, 1,125 men of our brave guard battalion were killed, including 403 cavalrymen, 310 pikemen, 205 shield men, and 207 musketeers. ”

After Sun Yingyuan finished his report, he made another bow to Zhu Cihong, and then sat down by himself.

Whispers suddenly began in the lobby, Zhu Cihong's heart trembled slightly, when he was shocked by the number of enemies, he didn't expect the Yongwei Battalion to lose so much. More than 1,000 men, nearly a quarter of the entire battalion of the Brave Guards.

Because the shield men and pikemen of the Brave Guard Battalion were in front, the losses were very heavy. As for the cavalry, the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was indeed powerful, although it was almost wiped out in the end, but it also caused the Yongwei Battalion to suffer huge losses.

This was also the first time that the Yongwei battalion had a large-scale field battle with the main force of the Qing army, and the casualty ratio of the two sides reached seven to one, mainly because the Qing army was too numerous, which finally allowed them to rush into the battle formation of the Yongwei battalion, giving them the opportunity to fight in close combat.

The advantage of the Yongwei battalion is that the long-range strike is strong, if it is not for the musket to inflict a fatal blow to the Qing army, all by hand-to-hand combat, then the Yongwei battalion is estimated to be hanging.

After a long time, Zhu Cihong spoke: "The pension standard of the Yongwei Battalion, the war dead, each family will receive a pension of 200 taels, and the fields at home will be permanently tax-free; For the disabled, each family will receive a pension of 100 taels, and the land at home will be exempt from tax for 10 years. Regardless of whether they were killed in battle or disabled, their families received a monthly allowance of one stone of grain and rice per family, and their widows were supported for life, and their children were supported until they reached adulthood. ”

Zhu Cihong had just finished announcing, and all the generals of the Yongwei Battalion were shocked in their hearts, and they all felt that the crown prince's pension was too generous, better than the treatment of the Qi family army back then, and at least five times or even ten times higher than the treatment of the Ming army at this time!

Huang Degong got up suddenly and said: "Your Highness is merciful, and the soldiers of the brave guard camp will definitely swear to protect the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to Your Highness!" ”

With a brush, all the generals got up, and the magnificent voice echoed in the wide hall: "Your Highness is merciful, and all the soldiers of the brave guard battalion will swear to protect the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to Your Highness!" ”

Even if they are killed or crippled in battle, their families have no worries about food and clothing for life, under such protection, who of the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion does not work hard to serve the death?

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said: "Killing thieves for the country, this is the treatment you deserve, sit down and continue to summarize the battle." ”

Prior to this, many generals in the Yongwei Battalion only regarded Zhu Cihong as a young crown prince, and feared him because of his identity.

And in these two battles, many people know that the real commander of the two battles is this young crown prince, who has the demeanor of a general at such an age, and will definitely be a figure like Emperor Chengzu in the future.

Coupled with the pension system promulgated this time, everyone's admiration for Zhu Cihong has almost reached the point of no return, and they are even more determined to follow the footsteps of the crown prince.

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, you can say whatever you want, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter." ”

At the end of the conference table, there is a twenty-year-old general, his name is Zhao Jinglin, he looks quite mighty, he is a commander of the musketeers of the Yongwei battalion, and more than half of his soldiers died in the bloody battle of Liangxiang.

This time, Zhao Jinglin was invited to participate in the proceedings of the crown prince, and he felt very honored to be able to sit close to the crown prince and sit at the same table.

In particular, the crown prince's pension for the wounded and disabled soldiers made him feel that a soldier died as a confidant, although he was not a soldier, but only a military attaché.

The opportunity was rare, and Zhao Jinglin listened carefully with flashing bright eyes. When he heard the crown prince ask everyone to speak, Zhao Jinglin felt in his heart and wanted to stand up and say his opinion, but seeing that the guerrilla generals and the two staff generals in front of him did not speak, he had to keep silent.

There are a large number of people in the Yongwei camp who are higher than him, let alone dozens of people, and according to the etiquette law, he is not qualified to speak first.

Zhu Cihong swept around the crowd and found Zhao Jinglin, who was about to speak, so he spoke: "The general sitting at the back, what is your name?" What are your thoughts on this battle? ”
