In this battle, Kong Guozhi, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, and Ban Zhifu, the commander of the Han army under the Pingnan Domain, were killed, Song Rui, the general of Yingde and Germany, was captured, and Sun Yi, the deputy general of Nanxiong, was wounded and captured, and there were more than 40 generals of the green battalion who were captured with them, more than 4,000 battalion soldiers, and more than 3,000 people. Shang Zhixin's Han troops only symbolically resisted when the Ming navy landed and surrendered to the navy, numbering about 1,500 people.

Shao Jiugong led people to clean up the battlefield, and the injured were carried out one by one for treatment, regardless of whether they were the Taiping army or the Qing army, of course, this treatment can only be for the lightly injured, but the seriously injured with broken arms and legs cannot be saved.

The medical camp set up by Zhou Shixiang in the Taiping Army in the early days was not expanded when Xiangshan formed an army due to constraints, and the medical camp remained in Xiangshan City during the Battle of Shenwan, so there are not many Lang Zhong in the army who know medical skills, and some are only those soldiers who are rough and bandaged. Whether a wounded soldier survives or not depends entirely on their personal creation.

Shao Jiugong found that when no one was paying attention to the new soldiers of the Taiping Army, they would secretly grope for the corpses of those Qing soldiers, and then put the gold, silver and jewelry they had obtained into his arms instead of handing them over. He reported the matter to Zhou Shixiang, who did not immediately order the rectification of military discipline on the battlefield, but decided not to bother with the matter for the time being, but he decided to reorganize the army immediately after returning to Guangzhou, because the current Taiping army was too dangerous.

There were more than 1,000 Han troops and battalion soldiers captured in the city of Guangzhou, and more than 2,000 Han troops surrendered under the Jingnan Domain. There are more than 10,000 of them. The Taiping army invaded Guangzhou only more than 5,000 people, and nearly half of them were newly surrendered Han troops and battalion soldiers after the year. Therefore, it can be said that the current Taiping Army has completely evolved into an army that mainly surrenders troops.

The fact that an anti-Qing army has become dominated by the Qing army is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.

In the eyes of Zhou Shixiang. The loyalty of the surrendered troops is almost zero, and the reason why they are willing to die for the Taiping army is only because the family is small and the Taiping army is powerful. If today's battle cannot be won, or if there is a slight setback, Zhou Shixiang believes that these surrendered troops will be shaken.

If you have to talk about the loyalty of these surrenders. Zhou Shixiang believes that Suna's Manchurian soldiers are undoubtedly the highest, followed by the Han army with family members pinched, and then the green battalion soldiers. Of the three, the Green Battalion with the least loyalty accounted for the majority.

How much money you have for yourself. Zhou Shixiang didn't count it, but he carefully counted how many soldiers he has now.

There are more than 4,000 people in the baggage battalion and artillery battalion in Xiangshan, and more than 3,000 people in the reserve battalion, plus more than 1,000 soldiers in the hands of Guangzhou Tieyi. There are also two new battalions of young and strong. There are nearly 15,000 people here.

Of the 5,600 soldiers brought by Zhou Shixiang from Guangzhou, Hu Qili had more than 2,000 under his command, and the Han army and battalion soldiers captured today will not be less than 5,000 people, plus those who were not released to transport grain and grass to the Qing army on the three routes, there are nearly 20,000 people here in Sanjiangkou.

35,000 people is the most conservative figure that Zhou Shixiang has reached, and this does not include those green battalion soldiers who committed banditry in the countryside under the banner of the Taiping Army, nor does it include Wang Zhaoxing, Zhao Ziqiang, Hu Mingyi, and other green battalion soldiers who are still considered to be formed.

From dozens of men in Daqiao Mountain to tens of thousands of people now. It took less than two years, and in these two years, the Taiping Army never really carried out reorganization and intensive training. Whether it is the head of the camp or the formation of an army, it is just a simple promotion of veterans, and then it is expanded one level at a time.

In terms of political and ideological work, Zhou Shixiang only placed some Anjun envoys and publicized the deeds of the "Lingnan Three Loyalties" in the army, but did not take any other action. This was due to the fact that there was no stable environment for the Taiping Army to conduct training.

All the rules and regulations of the Taiping army, whether compared with the armies of later generations or with the armies of this era, were extremely sloppy, and everything was only to adapt to the battle that was about to take place.

It's an army that's constantly fighting, it's constantly dying, and then it's constantly expanding. This is an army built on the basis of continuous victory, the cohesion of the people's hearts can only be reflected in the early part of the personnel, as the snowball rolls bigger and bigger, the inner circle becomes smaller and smaller, tens of thousands of people are attached to this snowball, but it can't really become a force that can be trusted, can be let go, but it is so strong.

This power is so great that the commander is panicked and jealous, this is the current situation of the Taiping Army.

After seizing Guangzhou and solving the Qing army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, Zhou Shixiang's next face was not only the conquest of the prefectures and counties near Guangzhou, but how to truly build these tens of thousands of people into a force that could be absolutely trusted.

Therefore, it is imperative to organize the army, and everyone including the people cannot be released, and they must be included in the Taiping Army, on the one hand, they are afraid, and on the other hand, they must be used, this is not Zhou Shixiang's ambivalence, but the reality is forced.

Time is the greatest enemy of the Taiping Army. If history does not deviate, the current Sun Kewang is probably already on the eve of defeat, and once Sun and Li come to the conclusion of the internal strife, the Qing Tingtun's army in Hunan and Sichuan will definitely immediately move south into Yunnan, then this means that Zhou Shixiang will only have two or three months at most to complete the initial integration of his forces in Guangdong.

Compared with the expansion of the territory and the cohesion of the whole army, it must be insignificant, only with talent can there be territory, and only with strength can there be a future, so Zhou Shixiang would rather give Huizhou to Hu Qili, Zhaoqing to Chen Qice, and Shaozhou to Tang Sanshui, the purpose is to focus time and energy on the whole army.

The current Taiping Army is absolutely no longer an anti-Qing force operating in a small area, nor is it a force that can be mobilized by relying on a group of leaders, nor is it a force that relies on hiding in a corner to harass from time to time, but wants to become a force that controls a province.

The purpose of the whole army is not only to expand its strength and give its subordinates large-scale promotions, but also to digest these surrendered troops and gather these surrendered troops, so that the Taiping Army can have a mobile force, a mobile force that can carry out a large-scale battle at any time.

The Taiping Army must have the strength to launch a campaign, and it must also be a force that can maneuver long distances and long distances, which must be strictly hierarchical, soldiers must listen to generals, generals must listen to commanders, and at the same time, military discipline must be strict, and orders must be like mountains.

Officers and soldiers are one, love soldiers like sons, Zhou Shixiang thinks he can't do it, at least he can't do it now. There was not much time for Zhou Shixiang to start reorganizing the army, he could only integrate the Taiping army in the most effective and rapid way, and the Qing army was undoubtedly the best object he could learn from - using the personnel who joined the Taiping army at different times to suppress the next group of joining the army, just as the Manchurian Eight Banners suppressed the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners suppressed the Green Battalion.
