More than 3,000 conscripted militia were killed in battle, a large number were captured, and a group of lucky ones escaped, and after the rectification was completed, only more than 1,000 people remained from more than 3,000 people......

After all, Shu Zifeng's conscription militia was filled with a large number of young and strong men who supported the entire family, and they would rather risk being arrested and put into the Xiandeng camp to become wartime cannon fodder and peacetime coolies, but also try to escape!

Shu Zifeng had already anticipated the mentality of these white farmers and civilians, and set up several nets to wait for this group of conscripted militia eager to go home to escape, and as a result, after the rectification was completed, the number of prisoners of war who surrendered to Cheng was expanded to 1,500 people......

It has expanded from more than 100 to more than 1,500, and even if there are some prisoners of war recruited among them, it is enough to show the eagerness of recruiting militia to 'miss home'.

The process of apprehending the deserters was quite brutal, and many of the conscripted militia did not want to be the 'prisoner soldiers' of the first camp, and after being discovered, they tried to resist stubbornly, and were killed on the spot by the soldiers of the warrior battalion.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Warrior Battalion were killed or seriously injured and died in the capture of deserters, and hundreds of conscripted militiamen became a corpse in the flight......

It can be said that this 'catastrophe' is equivalent to the self-purification of the indigenous troops under Shu Zifeng, and the more than 1,000 conscripted militia members left behind are either intimidated by the situation of deserters, or completely accept this fate to pursue the opportunity to become a warrior battalion.

After a week-long internal rectification, Shu Zifeng finally completed the 'purification' of the army.

After replenishing the warrior battalion of more than 600 people, the fighting spirit is high, eager to make meritorious contributions and obtain military achievements, and the remaining conscripted militia also dispelled unrealistic illusions, only hoping that they can be promoted to the warrior battalion by virtue of military merit in the next battle, and if they die in battle, they can only blame their bad luck and lack of skills......

The first camp waited in despair for the verdict of fate, because there were only two paths in front of them: death and desperateness!

In this military internal rectification, the happiest is the Jamai Baron, who was suddenly promoted from a centurion to a commander of 1,500 people, even if these more than 1,500 people can only distribute weapons in wartime and are used as cannon fodder at the forefront, but with more than 1,500 younger brothers, the battlefield survival rate of Jamai Baron will naturally increase greatly.

Nowadays, the number of soldiers under Shu Zifeng's command who can go to the front-line battlefield has become about 3,500 people, and the actual combat effectiveness may not have changed much, but the morale has become much more stable.

It's just that during the time when Shu Zifeng was rectifying the internal army and people's hearts, the first wave of the inefficient Moscow crusade army had been allocated to the territory of the Grand Duke Yaroslav, and the enemy faced by Shu Zifeng and the Grand Duke Yaroslav was no longer the original rebel small nobles, but the Moscow crusade army with relatively abundant troops!

Neither the Moscow court nor the Duma Noble Council really took Grand Duke Yaroslav seriously, and the first wave of crusaders did not even bring out the Tsarist Janissaries in the control of the Moscow court, of course, the main reason for this was that the regent wanted to keep this army so that the Moscow court would not be out of his control.

The city of Moscow sent only a small number of musketeers to defend the city, and the main force of the crusade was the army collected by the nobles around Grand Duke Yaroslav.

The army from the city of Vologda moved south from the north to attack the territory controlled by the Grand Duke of Yaroslav, the city of Vologda was a city inhabited and established by the ancient Finns, the name is taken from the Finno-Ugric language, meaning 'light, pure', belonging to the religious shrine of the Finns, and later became the territory of the Novgorod feudal republic, annexed by the Muscovy through war, became the direct domain of the Tsar, of course, the entire Novgorod feudal republic is now part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow......

The troops in Vologda were the closest to the area controlled by Grand Duke Yaroslav, and naturally they would be the first to invade the territory controlled by Grand Duke Yaroslav.

The second closest was the army from the western city of Tver, which was settled by a large number of Lithuanians and Rus' due to the Mongol conquest in the west, and was later annexed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which is now a direct domain of the city of Moscow.

The third army was the main force from Rostov-on-Don, which was closer to Yaroslavl than Tver, but because the army of Rostov was ordered by Moscow to join forces with the army of Moscow, and then enter the rebellion zone of the Grand Duke Yaroslav from south to north, it did not move.

In addition to these three forces of local aristocratic alliances and city defenses, Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod also sent a small number of troops to the Grand Duke Yaroslav as follow-up reinforcements.

The aristocratic coalition in these two places is ostensibly as reinforcements, but in fact it is the result of a compromise in the Duma aristocratic council, and the territory of Grand Duke Yaroslav is a big piece of fat, and the representatives in the Duma noble council naturally want to seek benefits for the masters behind them, and after the fall of Grand Duke Yaroslav, they will install some descendants of their own family system in their territories, and rely on 'gilded' military merits to become small and medium-sized nobles, which is the default rule of this era.

After all, there are many children of aristocratic families, and it is beneficial to arrange to inherit more fiefs after all, so you can't cut the fiefs of the family into pieces and distribute them to all the sons......

That set of Tui En orders will not work in the hearts of the Europeans, especially the barbaric Russians!

In addition to these troops, there are many small symbolic troops in other places who are slowly rushing to the territory of Grand Duke Yaroslav, they are not in a hurry, it is better to wait for the end of the war to receive the fruits of the place, this is the result of the distribution of the fruits of victory by the Council of Nobles of the Duma, and before the war begins, the Council of Nobles of the Duma has already allocated the territory of the Grand Duke of Yaroslav......

After all, the rebellion of the Grand Duke Yaroslav had no chance of success, and the great nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow completely regarded this rebellion as a feast.

However, Moscow strategically despised the rebellion of Grand Duke Yaroslav, and still paid some attention to tactics, and the three armies of Vologda, Tver, and Rostov were the main forces, and all the 'illusions' of Grand Duke Yaroslav were crushed in three directions at the same time!
