073 Application of prisoners of war
"Krysztof , although most of the Polish soldiers defeated in this battle were killed and fled, my men still captured quite a few prisoners, probably more than a thousand people, are you sure that they will be accepted to serve me?"
After returning to the center of Beshev town with Krysztof from the school field, Krysztof changed into aristocratic clothes that matched his identity, that is, the set of aristocratic gentleman's tights and wigs, which were all found from the original Polish military camps, and the low-ranking soldiers naturally did not have the right to carry a large number of personal belongings during the war, but for the noble Shlakhta like Krysztof (the top aristocratic class of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, ruling more than ninety percent of the serfs and commoners in the country, The main members of the Council of Tham. Of course, it is reasonable to transfer a group of people alone to guard the carriage carrying his personal belongings.
Of course, after the complete defeat of the army, Krysztof placed his personal belongings in the camp were not cared for and protected by any soldier, after all, personal belongings did not represent gold and silver treasures......
As a result, Krysztof's personal belongings fell into the hands of the Taiping army almost intact, which solved the problem of Krysztoff's personal life very well, and for a high-ranking Polish aristocrat like Schlakhta, he still paid attention to the quality of life.
They were the best educated people in the entire Polish-Lithuanian kingdom, and they had a monopoly on politics, the army, the economy, education, justice, and so on, with the exception of religion!
It can be said that in the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom under the democratic autocracy of the aristocracy, the real owner was not the elected king, but Shlakhta!
The best Polish hussars were either the vassal nobles and knights of Shlakhta, or the sons of Shrachta themselves.
And the Polish hussars are the sharpest sword in the hands of the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom, there is no one!
The Polish hussars wore the best armor in the entire Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom, used the best weapons, and had the most advanced flintlock pistols around their waists!
The flintlock handcuffs left after the Polish hussars were annihilated are also the most cherished trophies of the Taiping Army, Tokrysztov's blessing, today's Taiping Army's elite musketeer guard battalion, each soldier in addition to the long-pole flintlock pistol in his hand, everyone else has two flintlock handcuffs with good ammunition on his waist, even if these flintlock handcuffs are not as delicate as the one in Hong Tiancheng's hands, they can achieve a 100% firing rate, but they are much stronger than nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that the effective range of the flintlock handcuff was not as good as the long-poleed flintlock pistol, Hong Tiancheng might have popularized this thing throughout the army.
In addition to the 500 personal guard battalions of the Taiping Army, the 500 Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers were also each distributed a captured flintlock handcuff as a self-defense weapon......
"Miko-sama, I know these Polish soldiers very well, and convincing them mainly depends on the future arrangements of the adults for them."
After attaching Hong Tiancheng, Kresztof immediately changed his words and called Hong Tian the son of God like other Taiping soldiers......
Kaspersky and Hamsbond, the kind of Polish traitors who have no status and status, are dispensable for Hong Tiancheng, as long as he really rises, such Polish traitors abound, but Kresztoff, an old qualified military Polish nobleman who wants identity and prestige, is not a 'cabbage' on the bad street.
Such people rarely take the initiative to take refuge, unless they are really forced to do so, or they think that following the new master will definitely lead to victory, they will change their court, because for a big man like them, once they change their face, there is basically no turning back.
Krysztof would rather commit suicide than join Hong Tiancheng at the beginning is this reason, his attitude has changed so much, it is completely subverted by Hong Tiancheng's 'Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals' Great Summoning Technique, which is getting stronger and stronger, just like an atheist suddenly saw Sun Wukong holding auspicious clouds and told himself: "Your roots are good, be my apprentice." The reaction......
After hearing Krysztof's narration, Hong Tiancheng was silent for a moment and said: "I mainly hope that they can be auxiliaries, after all, these prisoners of war are different from the ordinary Poles I captured before, they have a good foundation, I don't want to treat them as useless cannon fodder, of course, I can't let my core troops go up to fight hard, and they stay in the safe rear to watch the show, as long as Krysztof can control this force, I can do it equally and restore their treatment in the Polish army." ”
Hong Tiancheng knows that blindly killing will push him to the opposite side of everyone sooner or later 'overturned', so he has been committed to cultivating his own 'Han Association Army' organization, the reason why the previous Polish Taiping Warrior Battalion was always wiped out was mainly because the enemy Hong Tiancheng faced was too strong, and even his own core troops had suffered such heavy losses, and it was naturally impossible for the Poles to form the 'Han Association Army' to win favor......
Therefore, Hong Tiancheng's words to Krysztof are still quite sincere.
As long as it is beneficial to Hong Tiancheng, he doesn't mind giving some inconsequential benefits.
Similarly, this is also a test given by Hong Tiancheng to Krysztoff, there are only more than 1,000 Polish prisoners of war, and it is impossible for the Taiping Army to have any restlessness under the nose of the Taiping Army, and how much use these more than 1,000 Polish prisoners of war can play in the future is the first answer sheet that Kresztof handed to Hong Tiancheng.
Krysztov, who was born in a great aristocratic family in Shlakhta, knows very well that power is hierarchical, and the attitude of the superior is friendly and cordial, which is the bearing and benevolence of the superior, and if the subordinates regard the 'encouragement' of the superior as the capital of coercion, then wait to be put in small shoes!
The superior has a way to make undesirable subordinates reasonably 'make mistakes', and then kick away with a regretful face!
After all, no one will offend a superior official for the sake of a subordinate, and it is impossible for such a person to enter the officialdom and climb up......
After hearing Hong Tiancheng's explanation, Krysztof soon knew Hong Tiancheng's 'expectations' for the more than 1,000 Polish prisoners of war.
"If Lord Miko is really willing to restore the original military treatment of these prisoners of war, I am at least eighty percent sure of convincing them, after all, I know many of the officers in this batch of prisoners of war, and most of them are only soldiers of Zhytomyr, not soldiers of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania!"
