045 Reorganization

The two battles were completely won, but the conscripted militia lost half of its troops, and it has to be said that the difference in the quality of its soldiers is a must......

In fact, if it weren't for the devastating morale of the enemy army caused by the musketeers several times during the battle, the conscription militia would have collapsed into sand long ago, but the conscription militia that survived after two bloody battles undoubtedly possessed the combat qualities of qualified soldiers, and then as long as they carried out a period of basic military training, these conscription militias would have become the regular army standard of ordinary city defense troops in this world.

In Shu Zifeng's eyes, the combat effectiveness of the army of Muscovy can be roughly divided into the following levels: the most important is naturally the conscripted peasant soldiers who are temporarily pulled up, as long as the battlefield wind is at a disadvantage, they are cannon fodder that is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and all the combat morale depends on the bullet pressure of the overseers and officers.

The second is the regular army of local security formed by the nobility such as the city defense army, which is also the real main force of the aristocracy when fighting, and has a certain salary and free social status.

Further up are naturally the mercenaries who lick the blood and the noble direct guards in the castle, if you talk about morale alone, the direct guards who share the honor with the nobles are more courageous, as long as the noble immortal battle is not defeated to the point of no return, there is rarely a time to collapse.

Although their morale is similar to that of the noble direct guards, every knight has practiced martial arts since childhood, and can easily kill a castle guard alone, not to mention the outstanding quasi-knights and even great knight masters.

However, this division is only a general comparison of Shu Zifeng, after all, there is a gap in the combat effectiveness of the city defense army and the directly subordinate guards of the nobles in each city, for example, the army in Moscow City, the overall combat effectiveness is higher than that of the direct guards of ordinary nobles, whether it is equipment or morale, it is not comparable to ordinary noble guards!

Not to mention the noble cavalry regiment directly under the city of Moscow, which is the peak symbol of the military power of the Muscovy at the bottom of the box!

After clearing the battlefield, Shu Zifeng quickly led his troops into the territory of Baron Jamaia, and announced the confirmation of his occupation and ownership, and at the same time, with a small musket team divided into 5 parts as the core, each with 100 post-war conscription militia who had just received a large amount of promises, went to the territory of those noble coalition forces to sweep.

In the nobles and knightly fiefdoms around the Barony of Jamaica, almost all the troops, including the noble family lords themselves, participated in the 'ambush battle' against Shu Zifeng.

After the collapse of the aristocratic alliance, the territories of these small and medium-sized nobles were almost undefended, and the castles of the viscounts and barons were not the layered medieval fortresses in later movies, the kind of fortress that only the great nobles and kings had the financial resources to build, at least an earl had to be able to build a real military fortress, and the 'castle' where these small nobles and even knights lived was actually a simple fortification surrounded by a pile of wooden stakes, and it was not even as good as a strong bandit camp......

This is the reason why the small and medium-sized nobles and the knightly class rely on the big nobles and even the king to survive, and their lair defense may not be a problem to guard against scum bandits, but in the face of the attack of the regular army, it is like a stabbing goods......

If there were enough troops, they might be able to resist by relying on these improvised fortifications, but now that these nobles and their most capable direct guards are all gone, the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates in the lair are okay to deter the serfs, and they are frightened in the face of the heavily armed crusade of hundreds of people.

Under Shu Zifeng's promise of surrender and immortality's 'leniency' policy, these small aristocratic families who had lost their backbone surrendered to Shu Zifeng's men and horses as a matter of course on the condition that they were allowed to take away their goods.

Shu Zifeng doesn't look down on the few floating wealth of these poor little nobles, what he values is the population of these territories!

The small force divided into five routes is not only to accept territory, but also to recruit troops.

The looting from Grand Duke Yaroslav has not yet been used up!

Shu Zifeng completed a series of primary military reforms in the towns of the Barony of Jamaica, and since the conscription militia has won the battle, it is natural to use the corresponding honor and treatment to retain the hearts of the people.

More than 500 militiamen who had been recruited in bloody battles were given the number of the Warrior Battalion, and the weapons and armor were upgraded in an all-round way, using raw materials and dead man's suits looted from the battlefield and territory, and more than 500 soldiers of the Warrior Battalion were all dressed in leather armor and used the battle axes, which are the favorite of the Russians......

All the wooden poles and spears were eliminated and handed over to the newly recruited militia for use, and Shu Zifeng fully reused the waste.

The system musketeers were given the establishment of the Guard Musket Team, all of whom were from Dehrim's system leader, who belonged to Shu Zifeng's core troops, and the whole team wore captured and repaired iron armor.

In addition, it is the "atonement" soldiers selected by Baron Jamai from the prisoners of war, known as the first camp, all composed of prisoners of war, who are not allowed to own weapons on weekdays, and have to do some manual labor.

Baron Jamai only recruited more than 100 soldiers from the prisoners of war who were willing to fight for Shu Zifeng, and the rest of the prisoners of war rejected Baron Jamai for various reasons, and then were secretly executed as a matter of course......

Therefore, Shu Zifeng's point volume balance successfully broke through to 5 points......

Shu Zifeng set up a strict promotion system in order to give the prisoners of war who came to the camp first to have hope of getting ahead, and every time they persist in a big battle, they can accumulate a great achievement, and they can regain their freedom after ten great achievements, and then choose to leave to get a large amount of settling-in allowance, or choose to continue to join the army and directly enter the warrior camp, if they perform well, they can even start as a grassroots officer at the level of a squad leader!

The accumulation of great achievements does not necessarily have to be victorious, only need to cooperate with friendly troops to complete combat missions, and all members can accumulate a great achievement, of course, if an individual has outstanding performance on the battlefield, he can also accumulate small or even big achievements.

The small attack is the accumulated credit of the first battalion to carry out some safe and easy small-scale 'sweeping' combat missions on weekdays, and ten small merits can be exchanged for one big merit.

In addition to the big and small achievements, the first battalion soldiers can also rely on the length of service to gain freedom, as long as they can survive the 5-year service period and do not die, they can get freedom, and the treatment may not be as good as the benefits obtained by relying on ten great achievements, but they can also leave the fate of the first battalion that is tired of wartime cannon fodder......

In addition to the hope for the future of this merit, in order to boost the wartime morale of the Xiandeng Battalion, Shu Zifeng specially approved that all the soldiers of the Xiandeng Battalion can leave half of their booty as private property after victory, and have the right of first refusal!

This is the highest level of treatment in Shu Zifeng's troops!
