Chapter 623: Meritorious Service Deserves Reward

The Battle of Luanzhou, the damage of the Ming army can be said to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and when the corpses were burned afterwards, nearly 30,000 corpses were counted, but fortunately, the weather at this time was already cooler, otherwise there would inevitably be a big plague.

As soon as Zhou Lin's army was defeated, there was no resistance in Luanzhou City, and the guards in the city didn't even have the idea of escaping, so they directly opened the door to offer the city.

Luanzhou is a military household in Jizhen, so they naturally know this scene, not to mention that the Huazhou Army also organized several activities to write letters to their families, which also made these people feel relieved.

Therefore, the military households in Luanzhou did not resist the Huazhou army, and there was no major resistance, Liu Shisan gathered the army and did not go south, and he had to deal with these corpses, as well as those soldiers who did not have time to escape. The body is to be buried and burned so that it does not cause pestilence.

Although it was a great victory, the forward army of Huazhou immediately went down without the slightest look of joy, because the casualties of the Huazhou army on the battlefield exceeded 4,000 people.

With 4,000 casualties versus 40,000 casualties, the Huazhou Army achieved such a disparity in casualty ratio against the Ming Army, which was already an incredible victory, but for the Huazhou Army, such casualties were only seen when the incident occurred.

The soldiers began to put away their former contemptuous attitude, realizing that war requires bloodshed, life and death have no eyes, and they can die on the battlefield at any time. Combat is not only about shooting at a distance of 100 paces from the gunners and the enemy, but also about shooting at a distance of 20 paces from the spearmen and the enemy.

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

For the officers, this casualty was a lesson for them, they generally thought that the Huazhou army was invincible in the world, well-equipped, and when fighting against the Ming army, it must be overwhelming and invincible, and many people did not even think that they would have large-scale casualties.

This battle made them all sober up a lot, no matter what kind of enemy it is, if they fight to the death in adversity, they will also burst out with huge lethality.

Moreover, the high-level officers are all worried in their hearts, and this kind of battle to enter the customs is all based on the reward of military merit when the peak is set in the future, and if the casualties this time are too large and cause a bad impression on Huawang Jiangfeng, it will affect the future of the future, and everyone is worried in their hearts.

Only Liu Shisan looked indifferent, he was still calmly dispatched there, except for his cronies and soldiers, the rest of the generals were a little dissatisfied with him, this kind of general who did not take the lives of his subordinates seriously was really unpopular, but the people below complained that they were just complaining.

Liu 13 is in this position, except for Jiang Feng and Liu Twelve, there is no one who can reprimand him, many people are waiting for him to be criticized for the casualties in this battle, but although Liu 13 is in such a high position, when he encounters such a situation, he actually looks like he doesn't care.

He saw it, when he rebelled and tried to stand on his own, he threw all the money accumulated by the Liu family in Lunan, thinking that he was wise, but he didn't expect that everything was under Jiang Feng's control, and after the defeat, it was impossible to die, and he was taken to Huazhou to be confined, and he was accompanied by King Jing's family every day.

After these experiences, his mind has long been polished and smooth, and the original ambitions have long disappeared, and this state similar to house arrest makes him miss the days of galloping from the horse and smiling proudly, and he is no longer willing to care about the success or failure of any major events and political wrestling.

After being brought out by Jiang Fengfang, he first made great contributions in the battle to suppress the Korean slave rebellion outside the Guan, and took charge of the training envoy of the general regiment outside the Guanwai, outsiders may not know, but those who are close to the core naturally understand that the general regiment training envoy at this time will be the general who will sit on one side in the future.

However, Liu 13 did not have the slightest nostalgia, just to go out to fight, sure enough, he found an opportunity, organized an expedition to the north, I thought that it was to take this opportunity to stay away from the center of power, you can be free to smile and pride on the battlefield, unexpectedly, Liu 13 is actually in the northland grassland to expand the territory, made great contributions, among the literati in Huazhou, has been compared to Wei Qinghuo to the meaning of illness, so many years, the Han regime is only defense, I have never taken such an initiative to open up, and the appearance of a person like Liu Shisan is really very exciting.

Not to mention how Liu 13 was regarded as cold-blooded and cruel by the soldiers in the army of the Southern Expedition, but among the people, and even among the soldiers of many other troops, the young and meritorious Liu 13 was worshiped as an idol and a hero. Liu 13 is also a signboard of the Huazhou Army.

Now Liu 13 in the Caucasus Mountains to fight the city of Dingbei, is one of the important places in the rotation of soldiers in Huazhou, although the number of people in each rotation is not much, but the long march to Dingbei City to fight with the Russian soldiers who look like wolves and tigers, as long as they come back from Dingbei City, the soldiers are already trained to be strong.

It has long been a rule in Huazhou that all low-level officers and soldiers who graduated from the lecture hall opened in Jiangfeng, no matter how good their grades in the lecture hall were, would not be promoted to actual positions in the army if they did not go to Dingbeicheng to fight in turn.

For many old oilmen in the officialdom, Liu Shisan's victory in Dingbei City is a great achievement, but Dingbei City has become a place of debate in the Huazhou Army is a lot of benefits, as long as Dingbei City is an important training base, then Jiang Feng and a senior official will always think of Liu Shisan's merits and performance, and there is always a place in the hearts of leaders, which is the only way to get promoted and get rich.

What do the people around think, it has nothing to do with Liu Shisan, after being stationed in Luanzhou, the army cleaned up the battlefield, reorganized the defense, and arranged for the people and prisoners of war to build roads, although the roads in the Ming Dynasty were repaired much better than before because of the great prosperity of industry and commerce, but there was a lack of maintenance, and for the heavy equipment in Huazhou, it was still simpler. It had to be renovated, and Liu 13 led an elite to attack everywhere, sweeping the remnants of the guards and fortresses everywhere.

About seven days later, Jiang Fengzhongjun, who had arrived at Shanhaiguan, finally made a judgment on Liu Shisan's battle, between Shanhaiguan and Luanzhou, Huazhou had already been set up as an expedited post station, and the news transmission would not exceed one day and one night, this time it was delayed for seven days, which shows that there is also some controversy within Huazhou.

However, this judgment disappointed all those who were waiting to see Liu Shisan's jokes, and Liu Shisan, who was praised by the central government as a decisive battle, and had an excellent training for the army. According to the military merit regulations, this reward may be an important cornerstone for these generals to become princes in the future.

What's even more surprising is not this, but the rewards and transfers for the soldiers below, the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry have all received their share of the rewards, so it is needless to say.

Although there were less than 3,000 foot soldiers left in the four infantry regiments fighting with the Shaanxi border army, they were all transferred to Jiangfeng's Chinese army, and the martial arts hall was opened before the battle, absorbing these 3,000 foot soldiers.

As soon as such an order came, Liu Shisan's former army's discussion of the main general calmed down in an instant, although the news transmission in this era was not well-informed, and everyone was relatively blind. However, the Huazhou army advanced all the way to this time, and the results and achievements everywhere showed that Huazhou had won the world, and I am afraid that it is just in front of me.

In other words, the more battles are fought, the fewer and fewer the soldiers want to get ahead in the battle, and if they can be promoted to a military academy, their future lives will inevitably be turned upside down, but in the general environment of group combat like Huazhou, it is very difficult for individuals to have outstanding meritorious service and be promoted.

Unexpectedly, such an opportunity was won by these colleagues who were in a bloody battle and were not afraid of death, which made people blush, but it also made people have nothing to say.

The Huazhou Army won all the way, and the rear continued to train regiments to become an army, the size of the army is still getting bigger and bigger, not to mention the strength of the army, but Jiang Feng found that there is a problem, that is, the people below are too lacking in the experience of fighting bloody battles and hard battles, after all, such an army lacks a spirit, a spirit to fight in adversity and a cruel environment.

In the first battle of Luanzhou, I thought that it was still the kind of army that calmly defeated the opponent with momentum and firearms, but I didn't expect that the troops would have a chance to experience a bloody battle, the four infantry regiments were supported in the bloody battle, and the rest of the people were selected seeds, and that kind of momentum and spirit were enough to act as the backbone.

Liu 13 has also been in charge of the army for many years, so naturally he will not let the four infantry regiments fight alone, the reason why they are in front and do not support them must be because of the reason for exercising the soldiers, so it seems a little cold-blooded, but as a general, he should not be limited to such a narrow field of vision, but should look farther.

This kind of strategic vision and the seeds of training some backbones for Huazhou are Liu Shisan's great achievements, and they should naturally be greatly praised.

In Fujian, the Yizhou fleet and merchant ships transported a large number of foot soldiers to land from Quanzhou Bay......
