The next day at noon.

After a night of fierce fighting, the defenders of Jiujiang were exhausted, the autumn wind was bleak, and the bloody atmosphere inside and outside the city was pervasive, and now, the officers and troops also dispatched a large number of soldiers to begin to shelter and guard the soldiers and collect the corpses.

People die greatly, no matter who they are, how vicious they were during their lifetime, but at least a place to be buried is also wanted, and more than ten miles outside the city, a pit has begun to be dug to prepare to bury the body. This is not only the humanitarianism of this era, but also the intention to prevent epidemics.

However, there are too many corpses, nine out of ten of them are the corpses of the rebels, and the buried officers and soldiers can't help but be staggered, these corpses are criss-crossed, and some of them have blurred flesh and blood, which shows how fierce the battle was last night.

Although this is a rumor, there is a lot of corroboration, because after these new troops rested early in the morning, at noon, they got up again and practiced with high spirits, as if nothing had happened.

In addition, there are not many people in the wounded and sick battalions in the city, and what is even funnier is that it is said that the most damaged are the new officers and soldiers of more than a dozen artillery battalions, because there was a mistake in loading gunpowder, so that the gunpowder exploded, so seven or eight people were reimbursed at one time, including dozens of wounded.

Although it was said to be an ambush, the new army occupied the right time and place, but such a record is still amazing, the rebels came more than 30,000 people, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and the rest were even more frightened, obediently surrendered as prisoners. It's really eye-opening to fight on this.

In this ambush, the officers and soldiers did not participate much, mainly responsible for cleaning the battlefield, more like the role of auxiliaries, but they really could only be used as auxiliaries. It is said that this is because these people are too poorly fed. A group of guys who are not even as good as tenants, the standard of living can be imagined, and more than seventy percent of them have night blindness. Even if there is a fire at night, the affairs in their eyes are also blurred, and it is really difficult for them to rely on them to fight at night.

The Forces nouvelles are different. When the new army was recruited, it was selected at various levels, and only the strongest people had the opportunity to pass this round of elimination, and when they entered the camp, they practiced day and night, although it was hard, but the food was excellent, meat and eggs were indispensable, more than 10,000 people and horses, and there were more than 30 pigs to be killed in the camp every day. There are more than 100 chickens and ducks, not to mention other food, and there are regulations within the New Army. Each person must consume one fruit per day. Such as oranges, apples, pears, etc., take any kind.

If such a military horse has night blindness. That is strange, it can be said that as long as there is an enemy situation, the new army can fight a protracted and fierce battle at any time and in any place.

Therefore, in this Jiujiang City, although there are still people who are dissatisfied with the treatment of the new army, no one dares to squeak anymore at this moment.

In Jiujiang City, the residents are like frightened birds, only afraid that no one fell asleep last night, and no matter how much they know the destiny of heaven, they dare not sleep, and wait until the early morning when the gunfire gradually stops, they know that the matter is over, quietly look through the crack in the door, and find that there are still teams of officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, so they know that this Jiujiang City is guarded, so everyone fell asleep in a groggy way, so the city is very deserted, except for a team of officers and soldiers who continue to spread all over the city, searching for the fish that slipped through the net mixed into the city last night, there is hardly any figure to see.

Located in the wounded camp near Xingyuan, it is quite quiet, there are enough doctors here, and the medicine is also sufficient, and the wounded soldiers lie on comfortable hospital beds, waiting for treatment, but from time to time there will be some sobbing sounds, but the order is quite orderly.

Liu Chengfeng took a military attache here for a while, and after being appeased, although he hadn't slept all night when he returned to Xingyuan, Liu Chengfeng still felt in good spirits.

In fact, now the work of sweeping the tail has been done by the governor Yamen, so Liu Chengfeng is not hard work, but Liu Chengfeng is still not idle, he went to inspect the wounded camp in the morning, and began to convene the military attaches of the new army at noon.

This time, the lecture naturally only included Qian Fang and more than a dozen military attachés at the level of brigade officers, and everyone arrived here in a hurry, no matter what, everyone seemed very excited about the victory in the first battle.

Liu Chengfeng stood behind the case, first ate and drank a sip of refreshing and eye-catching tea, and then smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, we won the first battle today, congratulations, I read the battle report, it's very good, a total annihilation of the elite of the party, this battle, has already discounted King Ning's arm." ”

Qian Fang and the others all smiled, and said one after another: "If it weren't for the adults' strategizing, there would be the cultivation grace of the lowly people......

Liu Chengfeng waved his hand, he was also good at patting sycophants, everyone likes to greet him, but Liu Chengfeng didn't like the military attache of the new army to meet him, his face became serious: "Since we have won the battle, we should be rewarded for it, and we can't let the officers and soldiers below think that we are stingy, and then the official will also ask for credit for you, but now the war is only halfway through, although King Ning's elite has been lost, but the rebels have not died out, you still have to cheer up, don't be complacent, and make new contributions." ”

Qian Fang and the others: "What the adults said is true. ”

Liu Chengfeng's gaze fell on the artillery battalion officer, and his face was a little unpleasant: "This officer heard that a rifled cannon exploded last night, is it true?" ”

The officer hurriedly said, "There is such a thing. ”

Liu Chengfeng held the tea cup, leaned back in the chair, and continued to ask: "What is the reason, is there a problem with the artillery itself?" ”

The team officer hurriedly shook his head: "No." ”

This must not be said to be problematic, because procurement is the business of the quartermaster, and if there is a problem, the quartermaster is finished. But then again, even if you want to wronged others, you can't do it, the new army drills every day, and this artillery is not used less, you don't find a problem in normal times, but now you find out in the war, this is obviously a cat.

The team officer told the truth: "My lord, I have only asked the lowly, it was because the actions of several artillery soldiers at that time were not standardized, and the gunpowder was too much, which led to the explosion...... So ......"

Liu Chengfeng said solemnly: "The artillery is not standardized, it is the problem of your officer, if everyone is not standardized in wartime, do you still need to fight this battle?" Just one violation of the norm has injured the lives of seven or eight people and injured dozens of people, and this is the responsibility of you, the brigade officer. From now on, if you make such a mistake again, the judge will not come to question you, but you will go and ask for the guilt yourself. ”

The artillery officer hurriedly said to forgive, Qian Fang looked a little uncomfortable on the side, no matter what, he should come out to say a word for him, plus the usual drills are good, but it is the first time for the new army to fight, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, which is really not to blame others.

Qian Fang hurriedly stood up and said: "Although the team officer Yang Rang is at fault, he also has a great merit, this time the ambush, the artillery battalion has made great contributions, so I humbly thought that the team officer would just make a mistake." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, and his face became gentle again: "If there is a mistake, you have to investigate, but this credit is still real, the meaning of the official is not to clean up anyone, just let everyone take it as a warning, Yang Rang ......"

Team officer Yang said: "Humble here." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "After you go back, gather the artillery for training, don't be too strict, just take this time to preach about the explosion, so that everyone will not make such a mistake again." But then again, the boring wire cannon is prone to exploding if it uses too much gunpowder, and this matter has to be taken seriously, so you should hand over the exploding cannon to the technical department tonight, and let them discuss how to improve it. ”

The so-called technical department, in fact, is not the people of the imperial court, and has nothing to do with the new army, are some workshops that produce firearms, these people in order to win the order of the imperial court, so the workshop will send some technical personnel to follow the new army to practice and fight, their role is actually very simple, once the weapon encounters any problems in the process of training and combat, it will be handed over to them for improvement, who can find a better plan, then the next batch of orders, most of the money will fall to whom.

Therefore, this so-called technical department has dozens of high-level craftsmen with high skills and the most thorough understanding of the principles of firearms, and these people compete with each other, and they only need a flash of inspiration to get a large number of orders, so the salary and bonus given to them by the workshop will naturally be rich.

Yang Rangru was pardoned and hurriedly agreed.

Liu Chengfeng smiled again and said, "Okay, the rest of the people go to rest, and at night, the official will personally set up a banquet, and everyone will come together to have a glass of water and wine, just as a celebration." ”

Send everyone away, Liu Chengfeng also went to rest, and when it came to the night, Qin Cha Xingyuan set up a banquet, a total of more than a dozen large tables, and people from the governor's yamen also came, and some senior military attachés were present, this battle was regarded as establishing Liu Chengfeng's status in Jiujiang, that is, Zhu Shimao, and there was no longer any doubt about Liu Chengfeng's ability, for him, the governor, as long as the rebellion of King Ning was put down as soon as possible, he could continue to sit down steadily, so he was polite to Liu Chengfeng. The whole banquet was carried out in joy and harmony.

As for the major battalions, in fact, they have also sent people to send wine and food, except for the soldiers on duty that night, most of them have been presumptuous, so that the wine in Jiujiang City is empty, and the price of food has risen by several percent at once.
