Everyone came to the periphery of the camp, under Shu Han's order, the soldiers who went to the front line to fight lined up next to them, and the soldiers who came out of the camp were responsible for digging the graves of the soldiers who died in battle, at this time the returning soldiers were very tired, a day of struggle, coupled with the sacrifice of their comrades, so that they were not only physically close to the edge, but also mentally were about to collapse, but at this time, Shu Han knew that they must not be allowed to relax like this, otherwise it would be very difficult for the spirit to be boosted, So Shu Han asked the doctors to come quickly, and on the other hand, he also restrained the army and did not let them rest at the moment.

The speed of digging the tombs was very fast, in less than five minutes, a hundred tombs were excavated, Shu Han looked at the seventy stretchers in front of him, on which were lying people, who could no longer wake up, Shu Han rode past them one by one, and then dismounted, sorting out the remains of these dead people.

These people's faces are very dirty, a lot of grit covers the surface, and many people's bodies are already mutilated, Shu Han doesn't care, once he didn't even dare to look at a dead chicken, but at this time, he reached out to deal with the tiredness on these people's faces, and the towel on his hand quickly turned black, and Shu Han wiped it with his hand.

The soldiers on the side watched, and a slight change began to appear in their eyes, Shu Han's movements were not slow, but when all the seventy soldiers were processed, it took about an hour, when Shu Han stood up from the ground, he obviously felt a dizziness in front of him, and Bo Rilang on the side saw that Shu Han's steps were unsteady, and immediately came up to help, which did not make Shu Han fall to the ground immediately.

Compared with the fatigue of ordinary soldiers, Shu Han was even more tired as a commander, plus he hadn't eaten for an afternoon, and he stood up suddenly, so that he suddenly felt a little hypoxic, he reached out and patted Bo Rilang's arm, asked him to take it away, and then looked at the soldiers in front of him, and said in a voice that was neither big nor small:

"Soldiers, this is our first war, we have won, and then there will be many rewards waiting for you, some of you will be able to stay in Black Iron City forever and have a decent job, and some of you will be able to wait for your bride in the future, double her salary, and have a property of your own in the suburbs, and you will get what you want.

But I don't see joy in your faces, because in this war we lost seventy brothers, who left us forever, peaches, pear blossoms, stone castles, buttons... The day before yesterday, I was still chatting with Xin Kou, and he said that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and live in Black Iron City, and I remember that I said that as long as you can come back from the battlefield, I will guarantee you a decent job in Black Iron City.

It's a pity that he is also on the list of those killed in the war today, and I am ashamed. As he spoke, Shu Han faced the corpse and bowed deeply, at this time the tears of many soldiers flowed, and those who did not participate in the war in the camp were also silent, looking at Shu Han, there seemed to be a fire in their eyes that was ignited.

Shu Han raised his head, looked into everyone's eyes, and said: "Everyone doesn't love Black Iron City, and I don't love either, I believe that many people have the same doubts as me, we are just a group of slaves, even if we are released now, but we only use our hands to create wealth, and we have got everything we have today, why, why do we use our own lives to defend the lives of others?"

Before that, I didn't understand this truth, we have no family, no children, behind us, there is only such an empty city, Black Iron City, there is no place for us to live in this city, why are we fighting! Shu Han's words undoubtedly spoke to everyone's hearts, yes, why are we fighting?

For money, he has more weight than life, if he has nothing, then life is naturally worthless, but now that they have a job, why should they work hard for this, for their families? They don't have families, so what are we fighting for?

This is the ultimate question that bothered the soldiers, and the answer Shu Han gave them before was, fight for me, I saved you, I made you from slaves to free people, and gave you dignity as a human being, so you have to fight for me.

But now, this explanation is obviously unreasonable, seventy lives, in one afternoon, all died, and one hundred and twenty people were injured because of the war, many of them lost their hands and feet, and some of them were injured in their internal organs, and they were no longer able to do heavy work, which is equivalent to becoming a cripple, and they will be able to move and live with the help of wheelchairs and crutches for the rest of their lives.

Owe Shu Han the affection, they have already paid it back, so Shu Han must give them another reason to fight, otherwise an army without faith will not be able to support it for too long, looking at the soldiers in front of him, Shu Han said loudly; "Brothers, do you see the crowd that just saluted us? Just before today, they laughed at us, thinking that we, a bunch of miscellaneous fish, could not achieve great things at all, and that no one would rely on us to defend the city.

And now, they salute us, and I believe that when they salute, you feel the same as me, soldiers, I don't want to tell you any big truth, the future war, I don't want you to fight for Black Iron City, I don't want you to fight for me, but for yourself, for your fallen brothers, for your dignity.

I can guarantee you that your sacrifice will not be in vain, all of you, if you die in this war, your name will be remembered by me, and your merits will be recognized by the people of Black Iron City, and I will write to the government of Black Iron City, right here, to erect a monument to the people's heroes, so as to remember your name, you are heroes, heroes of the people.

At the same time, all the sacrifices, the Zhang Group will be fully responsible, and now, I am here to announce that all the seventy soldiers who died in this battle will join the household registration of the Black Iron City City, and their families will enjoy the same treatment, this is my promise to you. “

Shu Han's words undoubtedly greatly boosted morale, for these miners, their hearts are inferior, although they have become free people, but the innate genetic weakness coupled with long-term oppression, so that they can not raise their heads when facing the people of Black Iron City.

This is indeed true, so Shuhan said; "From now on, you don't need to walk with your head down, you can walk in the streets openly, and proudly tell those who cast suspicious eyes that you are a soldier, a slave, and now you are standing here rightfully to protect the safety of the whole city!"

This is a great encouragement for the miners in the mining area, and at the same time, Shu Han included the sacrificed people into the Black Iron City household registration, which is a material reward, and the reward is not much, because among the seventy soldiers who sacrificed, sixty-seven were miners, and they had no family at all, so naturally no one would enter the household registration, and the remaining three were officers, and only their families needed to provide housing and work.

The effort is so small, but the role is incomparably great, although it is impossible for these people to live in the Black Iron City, but Shu Han's material reward has strengthened the confidence in the hearts of this group of soldiers, as long as they continue to garrison here, then they may also become legal citizens of the Black Iron City in the future.

Shu Han's speech, not only took into account those who want money and status, but also took care of those who want dignity, and at the same time established the concept of the team, when Shu Han finished speaking, everyone put the bodies of their comrades into the tomb, and then covered up, the tombstone will be done tomorrow, everyone is tired, including Shu Han, everyone returned to the barracks, Shu Han just lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Accompanied by Zhang Song's hot porridge to eat, Shu Han immediately convened a military meeting to discuss the gains and losses of this operation, as well as his own problems in commanding operations and pre-deployment in this operation.

In this regard, Shu Han naturally has to be careful, not to repeat the mistakes of the past again, among the people who attended the meeting, including Zhang Song, Chang Ke, Bo Rilang and other supervisors, everyone discussed where their problems were, and on the other side, Bo Rilang also reported:

"All the wolf meat taken from the battlefield has been sold, and four hundred gold coins have been raised, we can buy some more knives, and armor, the protection of the soldiers is really poor, if we had enough thick iron armor at that time, the casualties would not be so serious."

"Well, yes, but take half of that money and give it to those who have been so hurt in this war." Shu Han nodded and said, in this war, there is no way to compensate for the sacrifices, they have no father, no mother, no wives and children, only three overseers, and they can still compensate, and the rest of the people, except for giving honor, it is difficult to lend a hand.

And the children and wives of the three overseers had already been rewarded yesterday, and they were already a huge reward for the citizens of Black Iron City, so they will not be used for the time being today, and this money will be given to the more serious group of the one hundred and twenty wounded soldiers.

They are physically disabled, and the future will be very difficult, and Black Iron City does not have a pension system, so in order to take care of their lives, take out two hundred gold coins to them, so that they can live a little better, it is better than not giving it, Bo Rilang has no opinion, nodded in agreement, and said at the same time: "

"Yesterday afternoon, the people of the Yang family came to reward the army on behalf of the city lord of Yang Wangdi, bringing a total of 150 catties of meat, 600 kilograms of rice, and 1,000 pieces of gold as a reward, and at the same time, we were also informed that the Black Iron City has boiled water and organized manpower to urgently cut the rice fields in the north, which will balance the grain prices of the Black Iron City, and he will thank you for this matter."

"Divide all this money, as for the meat, take it out, let the soldiers have a good meal, they have worked hard in the past few days, and then, Zhang Song, Chang Ke, and the officers, please trouble these days, mix the soldiers who participated in the war this time and the soldiers who did not participate in the war, and let the veterans bring new soldiers.

Now our miners' battalion has experienced the battle formation, and there are about 320 soldiers who can continue to fight, and the remaining 100 soldiers will join after their injuries have healed, they are valuable assets to our miners' battalion, and they must be taken care of, and at the same time, they can be placed with the recruits, so that the veterans and recruits can learn from each other.

What do you think about having veterans share their experiences with new recruits, so that some unnecessary mistakes can be omitted in the next war? Shu Han asked, he also found some problems with the army, earlier when the army was just established, he thought that the miners in the same dormitory should be divided together, so that they would be at ease when they fought.

But after the real war, he found that there was a big problem with this, these teams divided by classes were indeed very united, they were all from the same dormitory, and they lived together for a year, or four or five years, and they knew each other well enough to trust each other in times of crisis.

However, there is also a big problem in this, that is, the cooperation across the army class units is very poor, in the war against the wild wolf, when the wild wolf kills the team of one class, they will do their best to resist, and when the wild wolf kills the gap between the two classes, both sides will dodge, because the two classes do not have any friendship with each other, and they are not even familiar with each other, in this case.

People in the same class only regard the people in the same dormitory as comrades-in-arms, and the lives of others are completely disregarded, so that there will be great hidden dangers on the battlefield, which Shu Han did not expect before, which is also related to Shu Han's youth, he has seen too little wind and rain, and he has not yet figured out human nature.

He only thought that the people in the dormitory would be at ease with each other when they were together, but he didn't expect that in a large team, bringing together people who were originally familiar with each other would make them a small group, and when the group was condensed and formed, it would be very troublesome to bring other people together and get familiar with each other.

Just like the class placement system in the school, if you are always in a class, you will often only know the people in your class, and often do not know much about the people in other classes, so many schools will rotate classes in order to increase the range of friends for students, so that they can get to know each other and increase the breadth of their friends and knowledge.

For the school, this is dispensable, but for the army, if an army is composed of small groups, there is not much centripetal force for large groups, and there will be big problems on the battlefield, so after Shu Han came back, he has been thinking about improving this, and now he has raised the problem, and it just so happens that the veterans and recruits have started to break up the class groups that are not yet fully stable, redistribute, condense their strength, and promote the development of centripetal force to the entire miners' battalion.
