Ma Bao was drunk, completely ignoring the war that happened on the territory of the Lu State for nearly eight hundred miles, he knew that he had been abandoned, and the Lu State was also dead, and now let alone break through, it was difficult to surrender and survive.

This is why although the Qing army and the Lu army knew that they were invincible, they had to fight hard, and they could survive as prisoners, but they had to go through at least five years of detention and labor, and they could only become ordinary people if they performed well, and if they had meritorious service, they could become the supervisors of the punishment battalion or become ordinary soldiers of the militia brigade.

The militia brigade is divided into registered militias, that is, those who are disabled, old and weak, those who have retired from meritorious service, and the attached army who cannot enter the regular army as soldiers for various reasons, as well as the officers of the Southern Ming Army, Li Dingguo's Ming Yongli Army and those who are a little ideological and a little forceful, but are unwilling to serve the Chinese Army from the heart, the generals and civilian officials, these belong to the people who should be able to let go, give them a little compensation, let them go to the militia brigade to receive some living allowances, and at the same time there are things to do. In the countryside below, the name of the county seat is equivalent to pension, which belongs to the registered militia, that is, idlers who receive money and do not do things.

The militia of the militia brigade is above the ordinary militia, these ordinary militia are towns, villages, to maintain local security, punish bandits, thieves, auxiliary servants to catch criminals quickly, these militia will be requisitioned in wartime to transport materials, supplies, in peacetime in the garrison company, garrison battalion, etc., and then return to the countryside to farm, which is equivalent to the service of the past dynasties, military service personnel.

Further up the militia brigade is the garrison militia, that is, the militia formed in the state capital and county seat of the border area to defend the county seats, towns and towns, inspect the enemy's tracks, hunt down bandits, transport supplies, and form combat teams to fight the enemy in times of crisis.

This part of the militia has a large number of soldiers, all of whom have been tested by the war and retired from the cold weapons unit of the original Jinhua Righteous Army, and the soldiers who have been reorganized, there are also some people who are willing to be soldiers and pay to be soldiers voluntarily to be soldiers, and some soldiers are trained in the new barracks, but they are not qualified soldiers, soldiers who have not been tested, and have poor grades, they are the main force of the garrison militia, after all, they have been trained, compared to other rabble, they are better controlled, and they are obedient, When assembled, the fighting power is more effective than that of the previous two militias.

The garrison militia is further up is the elite militia brigade, the elite militia brigade is the strength of the garrison battalion and the garrison regiment supplement, some of these soldiers are elite soldiers trained from the new barracks, and some are selected from other militia brigades to pass the test of war, after retraining, to reach the bottom line of being a soldier, qualified militia. They are the source of troops for garrison battalions and garrison regiments, and they are also the auxiliary combat units of these two regular army units, and sometimes they even assume the main combat force of field warfare and the main force of defensive forces.

Such soldiers are the real soldiers of the Huaxia Army.

It is very difficult for the enemy to stand out from so many levels of selection, and even the people of Huaxia cannot rush out of such a multi-level selection to become a regular army, let alone them?

This is like ordinary people in later generations, if you want to become a soldier from a common person, you first need to go to the armed forces department to register, and then go through a physical examination, and then the armed forces department will have a conscription quota, not all those who have signed up can be soldiers, become soldiers, three months of recruit training, unqualified brush the next batch, qualified stay, and then after a year, become a private.

Privates can only carry out other training in the second year, such as tactical training, joint training, intensive training, etc., screening elites, becoming backbones, these backbones are assigned to each unit to become squad leaders, deputy squad leaders, and then in the second year, recruits become veterans, veterans should be discharged, their actual qualifications are the same as the recruit training of the Chinese Army, those who have retired are militiamen, and those who are qualified are not discharged are qualified soldiers, but they are still reserve soldiers, and in the third year, they become regulars and become non-commissioned officers, and non-commissioned officers are assigned to new units. Becoming the mainstay of the reserve is what makes a real soldier.

Of course, these metaphors are somewhat inappropriate or inappropriate, but basically this is what they mean, that is, they are selected layer by layer, promoted layer by layer, get off halfway, and the rest are elites, going higher.

The best treatment for those enemy soldiers captured by the Huaxia army is the prisoner camp, which is detained for at least five years, and the long period is indefinite, and the worst is the hard labor camp, and the Huaxia army will not kill you, but it is more uncomfortable to be in the hard labor camp than to kill, and the hard labor camp is comparable to the devil's camp and hell in the enemy's mind, and no one wants to go anywhere, so many people would rather die in battle, especially those traitors, villains, gangsters, and ruffians.

People like Ma Bao, especially those who have been in the hard labor camp, he doesn't want to be arrested again, he is absolutely unlucky to survive the death obstacles deliberately set up by the Huaxia army for the second time, let you go to tear down the city wall, dig from below, if the city wall falls, you are lucky, run fast, and are not stoned to death, then good, pull back, eat and drink well, and prepare for the next more dangerous mission, the others will become meat paste, and the seriously injured will immediately make up for a shot, kill, and let the others pull out to find a place to bury.

"Marshal, marshal, marshal," a general rushed in in a panic, seeing Ma Bao's drunken eyes and barely open his eyes to look at him, he immediately did not have that urgency, and said in a relatively calm tone: "Report to the marshal, the Huaxia army has captured most of the cities of Lu State, Xiao Fei's corps has crossed the Grand Canal, and the enemy's right Jinqi corps has surrounded Yangzhou Mansion, and the left road has occupied the coastal city except for a part of the guards corps that went north to meet them, and the army has come towards us,"

Ma Bao put down the jar of wine in his arms, "Is there anything else?" ”。

The general of the Lu army looked at him, couldn't help but feel depressed, and whispered: "Jin Qi, the commander of the Golden Qi Corps, has personally led the large ships of the enemy's First Fleet to bombard my Yangzhou capital city and prepare to storm my Yangzhou capital city. ”

"Alright, get it!" Ma Bao waved his hand, didn't say what to do, and didn't make arrangements, so he sent the general who reported the news.

The general said anxiously: "Marshal, you have an idea, our army has already had a new army town defeated, three were wiped out, hundreds of thousands of old troops were annihilated, and now only one and a half new troops are left defending the city, one and a half new troops in the water village on the river bank, 30,000 old troops are waiting for support, the enemy's firepower is too strong, and our country's years of hard work have been burned ......." ”

Ma Bao's eyes widened: "You dare to question Ben Shuai's decision?" ”

The general shut up, retreated with interest, then turned and ran out of the palace, and when he returned, he dismissed his troops, took off his uniform, and disappeared into history that day, never to be found again.
