Defending the central capital of Fengyang, annihilating the elite of the Liukou, such a huge victory, it should be said that it is worth celebrating, although the Jiangning battalion also suffered heavy losses, two days have passed, comprehensive statistics have come out, including serious injuries, the Jiangning battalion has lost a total of 5,000 soldiers, a full quarter.

For Su Tiancheng, the greater joy is that he has really changed history.

From this time on, history began to turn, and it will not move forward along the previous trajectory, and there may be a lot of turbulent waves, but hope always appears.

He forced himself to calm down.

Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, and Wu Zhenying, the governor of Fengyang, all came.

As a member of Zhengsanpin, when Yang Yipeng saw Su Tiancheng, he even made a big salute, saying that he was representing the people of Zhongdu and thanked Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, of course Su Tiancheng did not dare to accept it, and returned the gift.

Su Tiancheng insisted on returning to Jiangning County, and the Jiangning battalion went to Fengyang to exterminate the Liukou, without a holy decree, it was not very suitable, but after defending Fengyang, Zhongdu was safe and sound, and such a great achievement would definitely be rewarded.

There was one more thing that he had to decide right away.

There are still 15,000 soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, and the rogues captured this time are being screened, and the leaders of them must all be found out and escorted to the capital, and the rest of the captives can be absorbed into the Jiangning battalion, so that the Jiangning battalion has 30,000 soldiers. The quality of these captured rogues is good, after all, they are the elite of the rogues, and they have good tactical literacy, which is much stronger than the ordinary people who have just been recruited.

The Jiangning battalion suffered heavy losses this time, and most of them were sergeants recruited from the Baoding area, although these people had undergone brutal training, but they had not undergone actual combat drills, and suddenly encountered such a big battle. Still a little panicked.

If it is a soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, he will not have such a big loss, at least it will be better.

Yang Yipeng saw that he couldn't keep Jiangningying, and after discussing with Zhu Guoxiang and others, he took out 100,000 taels of silver and gave it to Jiangningying. The loss of the Jiangning battalion this time. It's also miserable.

Su Tiancheng did not refuse, and left Fengyang with 100,000 taels of silver.

When you go back, you don't need to hide.

The news of the Jiangning battalion's extermination of the Liukou spread quickly, and along the way, many people stopped to watch this army.

The speed of the march could not be fast. After all, there were 18,000 captives.

Su Tiancheng was ruthless and calm, and Sun Chuanting and others could not celebrate it in a big way.

On the third day of the march, Su Tiancheng and Sun Chuanting rode horses and marched side by side.

"Lord Sun, Qu Qingze must have gone to the capital, according to my prediction, we must go to the capital this time. After returning to Jiangning County, the matter of recruiting sergeants. To do a good job in the shortest possible time, the quality of the rogues captured this time is still good, much stronger than the 10,000 people last time, my consideration. In the midst of these captured rogues, recruit 15,000 soldiers, you see if it is appropriate to do so. ”

"My lord, I think so too. When I was in the Drum Tower, I saw the fighting spirit of these rogues, and it was indeed very good, but with these 15,000 captives, it will take a certain amount of time to teach. ”

"I know this, the screening work has been carried out almost, the speed of the law enforcement battalion is required, it is even faster, the big and small leaders among the rogues have all been found, these people are not able to enter the Jiangning battalion, we only need ordinary sergeants, after going back, immediately strengthen training, we must warn the brothers of the Jiangning battalion, do not discriminate against the prisoners of the gangsters, they have entered the Jiangning battalion, they are part of the Jiangning battalion, everyone is brothers, and they must be able to rely on each other when they go to the battlefield in the future."

Sun Chuanting nodded, the Jiangning battalion can be expanded to 30,000 people, and over time, the combat effectiveness that erupts is terrifying, this time in the battle, he has already realized, especially the 4,000 soldiers facing the 50,000 rogues, it is incumbent on them to rush up and fight, which is not something that ordinary soldiers can do.

"My lord, the matter of the Shenji Battalion needs to be considered, the two deputy thousand households have been martyred, and there are not many soldiers left, I think, after I go back, I will first replenish the Shenji Battalion."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"The Shenji Battalion should be transformed, and the next focus is to equip it with red-coated cannons, tiger squat cannons and Furlong machines, etc., as for the shotguns, three-eyed guns, etc., don't equip them for the time being, just maintain the current status quo, this time in actual combat, the problem of the Shenji Battalion has been completely exposed, large-scale fighting, the role of the shotgun is not too great, these weapons, all need to be improved, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, the training needs to be more severe, if in the future campaign, the rest of the battalions are always needed to protect the Shenji Battalion, it will definitely not work."

"My lord, this time the situation is still a little special, after all, it is 4,000 people against more than 40,000 people, the results are very good, and it is normal for such a situation to occur."

"You can't think so, the war is ruthless, you and I are aware, but these soldiers are also born to their parents, their martyrdom is a huge blow to the family, that is, the sky is falling, I think, the fallen soldiers, the family members will be subsidized with 200 taels of silver, and the county government should register their situation in detail, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing, as for the seriously injured soldiers, they can receive a subsidy of 2 taels of silver per month, go back home, and help do what they can."

Sun Chuanting gasped, and in this way, he would almost spend a million taels of silver.

However, the advantages of this are also obvious, the soldiers have seen that even if they are martyred, their families can get the best care, food and clothing are worry-free, and no one will worry, and they can burst out more strongly on the battlefield.

"Lord Sun, if you have no other opinions, after you go back, you will do it immediately, the thousand households and deputy thousand households of each battalion will personally send the silver taels to the homes of the fallen soldiers, and comfort the families of the fallen soldiers, and the people will hand over their sons and husbands to the Jiangning camp, this is a trust in you and me." As for the silver, spend it first, and then I will figure out a way, this time the Jiangning camp suffered such a heavy loss, and the imperial court should also have something to say. ”

"It's good, this matter, after I go back, I will arrange it immediately."

"Some officers were killed in this battle, and the law enforcement battalion counted the battle situation of each battalion, and the matter of promoting and supplementing officers was carried out in accordance with the results of this battle, and this should form a system and rules, and all officers and men who fought bravely and made outstanding achievements in battle must be promoted, and the hereditary system, including the system of military households, will not be promoted by the Jiangning battalion."

After arranging these, Su Tiancheng sighed softly.

Sun Chuanting was a little strange.

"My lord, although the Jiangning battalion suffered heavy losses, but the results achieved are also amazing, I have not seen the army of that imperial court, can establish such a record, why is the lord a little depressed, the soldiers are killed, it is a common situation, once the success is ten thousand bones, the lord still looks at some."

"I'm not thinking about these things, the war is ruthless, we have been prepared for this for a long time, before the soldiers set out for the battle, they all wrote a suicide note, I am thinking about the future of the Jiangning battalion."

"Did you think of anything?"

"I'm afraid the Jiangning battalion is leaving the south, this time, after exterminating so many rogues, the imperial court must have paid special attention, look at my Ming guard's sergeant, it's not that I boast, I'm afraid there is no army that can be compared with the Jiangning battalion."

Sun Chuanting still doesn't understand a little, the sergeant always has to go into battle to kill the enemy, and it is impossible to keep it all the time, besides, the brave and good fighting of the Jiangning battalion has already shocked the imperial court, even if it is pulled out of the army to fight, it is not a big deal.

"My lord, this is normal."

Su Tiancheng turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting.

"Lord Sun, you don't understand what I mean, if the Jiangning battalion goes out to exterminate the Liukou, it should be, and there is no condition to say, I believe that after the battle of Zhongdu, the Liukou still dare not face the Jiangning camp head-on, Zijin Liang once said that the Liukou will eventually fall in the hands of the Jiangning battalion, it seems that he has long expected it, I am worried about the north, the current situation, the Jiangning battalion is not suitable to go to the north."

The north side, of course, refers to Houjin.

Sun Chuanting understood that the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin was also very strong, especially in the field, but the Jiangning battalion would never be afraid of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the Later Jin.

"My lord, I think that the Jiangning Battalion is facing the Houjin Manchurian Eight Banners, and it is not a big deal, if you want me to say, the Manchurian Eight Banners are not the opponents of the Jiangning Battalion."

"I'm just worried about this, even you have this understanding, don't think that if you win, the Jiangning battalion will be invincible in the world, the situation of the Liukou and the Houjin is completely different, the Liukou have been running for a long time, fighting everywhere, they have no fixed base, they are erratic, to put it mildly, they are similar to the second-rate beggars, they can't get fixed supplies, so for so many years, when facing the official army, there are fewer victories and more defeats, but Houjin is different."

"I don't intend to exaggerate the strength of the Eight Banners of Manchuria or even the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and I don't believe that they are invincible in the world, and the Jiangning Battalion will never be afraid of them, but we must be clear that the Liukou have hundreds of thousands of troops and a fixed territory, and in the face of such an opponent, it is only a military encirclement and suppression, and it is difficult to achieve decisive results, and only a comprehensive attack on the sergeants, economy, and culture can completely exterminate them."

"I have a lot of internal and external troubles, many difficulties, only to stabilize the inside, can I free my hands, go all out to deal with Houjin, the most realistic problem, is to completely exterminate the rogues, stabilize the internal, to let the people have food, at least need them not to rebel, otherwise, internal and external warfare, two-front warfare, what will be the situation, I won't say much."

Sun Chuanting didn't speak for a long time, it was impossible to summarize these truths from a battle, it seemed that Su Tiancheng had been thinking about the overall problem for a long time, so young, he could think of such a comprehensive and genius.
