On the day of the surrender of more than 2,000 mercenaries, Shu Zifeng 'fulfilled' his promise, broke them up and began to integrate them into his own combat units.

This time, combat firearms played an important role, and the reason why the combat morale of the projection troops in this era was weaker was not because the soldiers who used long-range weapons and firearms could not fight, but because the projection troops received little remuneration and little training in hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons.

This problem is very easy for Shu Zifeng to solve, he only needs to adjust the treatment of soldiers in the army to a uniform standard, and he will not leave behind the hand-to-hand weapon training for them when he pays attention to the training of the warrior battalion musket.

In this battle, the troops under the command of Shu Zifeng suffered great losses, more than half of the 500 leading musket team and the warrior battalion were killed and wounded, and the leading civilian musket team went through first aid and treatment, and finally only saved more than 200 people, the warrior battalion because the armor can be poorer, and the top is in the center during the battle, the loss can be greater, more than 400 people died, and there are less than 400 soldiers left to fight.

Even the Swedish veteran musketeers, who had been fighting non-contact battles, had lost more than 300 people in the previous shooting, leaving only more than 600 combatable soldiers.

Originally, Shu Zifeng planned to select loyal and reliable musketeers to join the ranks of Swedish senior musketeers, but Gustav directly refused.

The reason given by Gustav is that the entire Swedish veteran musketeers are a coherent combat machine, which can flawlessly put on any known combat formation on the battlefield and kill the enemy with the highest efficiency, and the soldiers are the screws in it.

Of course, Shu Zifeng also understands that the gap between the military literacy of the musketeers and the senior Swedish musketeers is too big, but can't this thing be made up by training?

Gustav's answer is simple, even if all the people are loyal and fearless to death, you can save the step of training courage to adjust morale, and if you want to reach the level of a senior Swedish musketeer, you need to train for at least three years!

Only a long enough queue and discipline training will make the soldiers a war machine that forms a reflex instinct to orders and the combat environment!

This is still a conservative estimate, because the people are born with hard-working and die-hard spirit, Gustav dared to give this promise, if you just pull the natives to train, if you want to meet the standard of Swedish senior musketeers, training for ten or eight years is really not an exaggeration, so you don't dare to guarantee that you will fight to the last man!

Discipline and military quality can be improved by training, but the spirit of being willing to die needs war and victory to be forged, and Shu Zifeng's subjects can naturally skip this stage of spiritual shaping, so that they can hope to train a war machine in more than three years.

It's not hard to learn to shoot, and it's easy to learn to walk in line, but it takes years to make a 'screw soldier' that can't go wrong, like a robot's rigid and precise 'screw soldier'!

Obviously, Shu Zifeng can't afford to wait so long, let alone three years, he doesn't even want to wait for three months!

Compared with Muscovy, Shu Zifeng and Grand Duke Yaroslav have too weak foundations, and if they don't take advantage of the big victory, Muscovy will destroy the war potential of Muscovy as much as possible when Muscovy is not coming back to his senses, and Shu Zifeng will be slowly worn to death by Muscovy no matter how much he can fight.

Since the replenishment of the Cypriots would reduce the overall combat power of the Swedish senior musketeers, Shu Zifeng simply gave up this approach.

After the war, the remnants of these musket corps can be said to have been reborn into real soldiers, and what is even more rare is that their loyalty is MAX, and they have established enough meritorious service in this war to be able to serve as officers!

Therefore, Shu Zifeng simply integrated the more than 2,000 mercenaries who led the people's musket team, the veterans of the warrior battalion, and the more than 2,000 mercenaries who surrendered to Cheng, leaving only the title of a warrior battalion.

The Musket Corps served as mid- and high-ranking officers, while the veterans of the Warrior Battalion served as junior officers, controlling these mercenary soldiers whose loyalty had yet to be determined.

At the same time, the commissions and land of mercenary soldiers also entered the process of statistical distribution.

The veteran Swedish musketeers were responsible for maintaining the necessary law and order, driving the Slavic civilians in the areas under their control to measure the land, and Joseph was responsible for coordinating it.

Shu Zifeng did not want to divide the land immediately, but split the ownerless land in the occupied area into pieces like a enclosure, and made a kind of wooden field identity tag and distributed it to the mercenary soldiers who surrendered to Cheng, informing them that the land divided above would be their own in the future!

As long as Shu Zifeng reigns for one day, no one can take their land away.

The fields of the families of the fallen warrior battalion soldiers have not been taken away in the slightest, Shu Zifeng has set a very good example, the newly expanded warrior battalion soldiers under the large amount of land allocation, the impetuous military spirit quickly settled down, and gradually accepted the control of the original leader of the people's musket team as the core officer corps.

The warrior battalion integrated all the veterans in Shu Zifeng's original army, except for the Swedish senior musket team, and the strength suddenly expanded to 3,000 people, more than 200 leading civilian musket teams, 400 warrior battalion veterans, and nearly 2,400 mercenaries descended to the army.

Perhaps, after this expansion of the warrior battalion, the composition will become more complicated, many mercenaries themselves are orphans, helpless, far less loyal and reliable than those mercenaries who drag their families after getting the land, but the general morale of the army is still good.

The mercenaries who had no family were also given land and property, and even if they had no family now, couldn't they take a wife?

Because Shu Zifeng had recruited a large number of young men in the occupied area before, and now there are lonely 'women' in the occupied area, in the process of training the 3,000 warrior battalion, Shu Zifeng opened the door to let those homeless mercenaries marry and have children.

As long as they have concerns, they need to take root in the allocated fields, and they will naturally die when they fight.

Shu Zifeng didn't have much time to brainwash and strengthen them mentally, so he could only use the fast and easy-to-use military mercenary field to tie these mercenaries to his chariot.

Anyway, these lands were all grabbed, and Shu Zifeng was not distressed at all when he was divided, and the ownerless fields left by a large number of nobles and knights were cleaned out was enough for Shu Zifeng to allocate to the three thousand warrior battalions.

While reorganizing the warrior battalion, Shu Zifeng sent out a small part of the reorganized troops in rotation to sweep away the tentacles scattered before the main force of the Rostov regiment, and the warrior battalion continued to run in and enhance cohesion through this frequent skirmish!
