Chapter 360 Disarmament
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
In addition to what he said before, Luo Ming briefly talked about the fact that the disabled soldiers would be placed in the Invalides.
After talking about these preferential policies for soldiers, Luo Ming announced the start of burying the dead soldiers.
Together with Granty, Ariana, Dacon, and others, he personally carried the first coffin and placed it in the tomb dug by Luo Ming's own hands.
This soldier did not have a noble birth, nor was he an officer, but an ordinary soldier from a slave background.
When Luo Ming fought the Bishop, he, Martin and the other three tried to sneak up on the Bishop, but they were directly catapulted out by the domain power of his protective body.
Martin and the other soldier were only seriously injured by the shock, and when Luo Ming regained a little strength, he immediately threw a ball of cangyan, and hung their lives, and after treatment, they were gradually recovering.
But this person was the only one who was unlucky, and by that time he had already lost his breath.
Now that his life has passed, there is no way to make amends. So in order to praise his loyalty and bravery, what is it to carry the coffin to the funeral?
Next, the soldiers carried their robes, and the family members carried their loved ones, and they were buried in the graves.
On each of the tombs, a cross is inserted, engraved with their names and dates of birth and death—unrelated to a religion on Earth, the cross represents the shape of a sword, symbolizes their status as a warrior, and is also the coat of arms of Luo Ming himself.
"The gods will surely bless these loyal and brave warriors and allow them to ascend to heaven. ”
Luo Ming raised his sword and announced in a loud voice.
In the end, seven thunderous cannons rang out, bringing this solemn funeral to an end.
===========================================
After the funeral, the next day, it was time to distribute benefits.
Man is a very practical animal, and although he may grieve, this grief can also be easily diluted, and in the end, there are many more people who survive than die in battle.
To celebrate this victory, Lockin opened the granary and sent three loaves of bread and ten slices of sausage or the same weight of bacon to each of his men.
Actually, it's not much at all—he still has plenty of food, and sausages and bacon...... Each person is only ten pieces, and thousands of people in the entire territory add up, that is, they eat a dozen pigs and sheep.
With such a small effort, but let the festive atmosphere spread throughout the territory, let yourself be more loved, in Luo Ming's opinion, this is quite worthwhile.
In this way, it also fosters an atmosphere in which victory is a happy event not only for Luo Min and his soldiers, but also for everyone in the territory.
Then, naturally, it can also be slowly advanced to the point where "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", and in Luo Ming's case, "even a slave and tenant should contribute to the maintenance of the collective of Schönbrunn Ling".
This approach allows people in Luo Ming's territories obtained at different times and from different channels to form a consensus of "we are a group" and dilute the barriers between them.
After this, Luo Ming gave the soldiers a long vacation - let them go home to help with the farming.
After all, if the best group of young adults in the territory stayed in the army, the impact on production would certainly not be small.
However, including junior non-commissioned officers such as the captain, all officers who were beyond the level of ordinary soldiers were left behind by Luo Ming.
After removing the wounded and killed, the remaining officers made a total of ninety-three.
Lomin had decided, whether in peacetime or wartime, at least to maintain a system of officers that had always been on the scale, and to let them completely get rid of agriculture and become a professional standing army - of course, they would still have holidays.
Since it is a professional standing army that completely separates soldiers and peasants, it is natural that they must ensure stronger training, and they can read more Braille, know arithmetic, and know a little simple tactics.
Luo Ming hoped that these ninety-three people would be able to go to the next level and become middle-level and even high-level officers and backbones of the army that would be expanded again in the future.
As for the remaining more than 400 ordinary soldiers, it was actually the result of an all-out expansion of the army in an emergency - after all, the total population under his command was only a few thousand, and it was impossible to maintain such an army in peacetime...... Unless Luo Ming doesn't want to develop.
The Soviet Union had pulled out 12 million soldiers in World War II, similar to the current situation of the Loming army, while the Soviet Union entered peacetime with only 5 million soldiers left behind – and this is still considering the Cold War, which could start at any time.
France also pulled out nearly 6 million people during World War II, but soon after the war, it was reduced to only 700,000, and in the 21st century, there are less than 400,000.
Therefore, Luo Ming made a decision: most of the ordinary soldiers this time can go home to work in peacetime, as a reserve, a base militia.
At this time, they were not paid military salaries, but a certain militia subsidy. In the case of agricultural slack or emergency, they can immediately enlist in the army, and according to the original establishment, they will be placed under the command of the officers, and a little reorganization will be regarded as a strong army.
In order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they will train intensively for five days every month - of course, bringing them together is also just the right time to exercise the mobilization ability of Schönbrunn.
Luo Ming's goal was to assemble half of the army within two days, and to complete the assembly and reorganization of the whole army within four days, and to set off.
Of course, this speed, comparable to that of modern industrial society, can only be achieved in small places, and if the territory becomes larger, it will take several days to convey the mobilization order everywhere, and then there is no way.
However, even if the territory grows larger in the future, Lomin hopes to maintain this mobilization pace, at least in the vicinity of the capital.
In this era, if you want to assemble an army of thousands of people, it will take ten days and half a month as fast, and a month as slow as possible...... Compared with Luo Ming's mobilization method, it is simply crushed in an all-round way!
To take an extreme example: the enemy country is gathering heavy troops to attack, and when Luo Ming receives this news, he can get an army of thousands of men ready to go in five days.
When the other party finally finished the army and went on the road, Luo Ming had already invaded the enemy's territory with an elite army, and before the other party could react, he was attacked by Luo Ming on the way, and he was taken by surprise and the army that had been assembled with great difficulty was dispersed.
Next, in Luo Ming's rear, the large army has also been assembled and caught up, and at this time, it can use the gap opened by the previous elite army to pour in and fight a large in-depth assault of the original version.
Although Luo Ming himself is not very clear, as a modern earthling who understands some modern history, he naturally has some ideas of general warfare in his thoughts, and naturally crushes these "ancients" in this regard's strategic vision!
