Early in the morning, in the compound of the mercenary camp, seven thousand Yang family soldiers stood in rows according to their respective queues. In front of them were the bodies of sixty-three makeshift auxiliaries. On their side, there were less than a few dozen seriously injured comrades-in-arms who were carried by a single rack, as well as hundreds of comrades-in-arms who were wrapped in bandages.

These are all the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the First World War last night.

Now all the dead have been carried out, and the corpses have been given a simple make-up to make them look less miserable. The other injured comrades-in-arms were lined up all around, and this scene made the other auxiliaries and temporary auxiliaries except for the elite Leng Feng all stunned and puzzled.

Needless to say, Leng Feng has also had cases of comrades-in-arms dying in the previous wars on Xiaoliuqiu Island, and you can know what is going on when you look at this formation.

The auxiliaries are also better, and most of them heard about the death ceremony of their comrades when they joined the army, saying that this would allow their souls to ascend to heaven without suffering, and that this kind of ceremony is called a memorial service. It's just that I've heard it, but I've never really experienced it.

The temporary auxiliaries were completely stunned, they had neither heard of nor seen in person, and they stood there at this moment with an unknown face.

Maybe in their minds, last night was already a big victory, why did it make everyone's face miserable? What the hell is this going to do?

In the eyes of others, defeating 20,000 enemies, killing more than 5,000, and capturing more than 7,000 with less than 400 casualties, it was naturally a great victory among great victories. It's just that in Leng Feng's eyes, this victory is nothing, but fortunately, most of them used cold weapons yesterday, if they used Ninety-Five, I am afraid that this battle cannot be regarded as a victory, at most it is a draw.

The Yang family's army was gathered here, and at the same time, all the 7,000 prisoners were escorted over, according to Yang Chendong's words, this is to receive pre-war education. And if this method is used well, it will play an unexpected role.

When all the personnel arrived, Luo Po, the head of the Second Regiment of Leng Feng, ran to Yang Chendong, who was wearing a handsome uniform, and saluted a very standard military salute: "Comrade Chief, all the members who participated in the memorial service have been assembled, please ask for instructions." ”

"Please take a break." Yang Chendong said with a serious face. He wore out the marshal's uniform that had been kept in Okura as a sign of respect for the ceremony. Just like Luo Po and a group of officers, they also changed out of their camouflage uniforms for combat and put on regular uniforms to show their solemnity and might.

In fact, after these officers changed into their regular uniforms, they did give people a bright feeling. Many soldiers who were in the process of sprinting from soldiers to officers and soldiers secretly made up their minds in their hearts that they would behave well in the future and get a set of officer uniforms to wear, so how majestic it would be when they returned to their hometowns.

Speaking of Yang Chendong, when he walked to the center of the temporary platform with standard steps, the entire military camp became silent at this moment. At this moment, there is only one person in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, and there is only one voice in the ears of tens of thousands of people, and that is Yang Chendong and what he is going to say next.

"Dear comrades-in-arms" did not use a manuscript, Yang Chendong chose the way of impromptu speech, fortunately, he had experienced a lot of such occasions in his previous life, how should he say it, he already had a draft in his heart. It's just that the era is different, and today he takes a practical way of speaking.

The target patrolled the whole field, and even the Miao army prisoners who were still tied by ropes did not let go, and then a solemn voice came out, "Dear comrades-in-arms, last night, the Miao army suddenly launched a fierce attack on our army's camp. In the face of the test of life and death, you made a heroic performance, handed in a perfect answer, defeated the opponent by bravery, won the victory, you are the best, I am proud to have you, salute! ”

First of all, he affirmed the victory of last night, which made all the soldiers who participated in the battle puff their chests, and everyone showed a look of pride and pride on their faces.

"But...", Yang Chendong's voice became much lower, "There are also some of our dear comrades-in-arms and brothers who defended their dignity with their lives in the battle last night, and exchanged their lives for victory. It is precisely because of their heroic efforts that we have had a glorious and great victory. ”

"Today, with a very heavy heart, we deeply mourn our dearest comrades-in-arms, they are Zhang Hongdong of the first company of the first battalion of the temporary auxiliary army, Li Caixian of the second platoon of the first company of the first battalion of the temporary auxiliary army, Ren Zhuzi of the first company and the second platoon of the second battalion of the temporary auxiliary army, and Yang Weisong of the first company, one platoon and third squad of the second battalion of the temporary auxiliary army..."

Sixty-three names were read out one by one through Yang Chendong's mouth.

Whenever he pronounced a person's name, behind him, the corpse of a warrior would be stamped with a white sheet, and until he had finally read it all, there was already a slight cry in the scene.

Those who had tears in their eyes and couldn't help but cry were the friends and relatives of these dead soldiers. Originally, they were all members of the Yellow Bandit Army, and they were the people of Nanming for a long time, but because they had no homes under the war, they couldn't survive, so they had to enlist in the army and eat together. But in the end, I don't know whether it should be said to be good luck or bad luck, I became a prisoner of the mercenaries, and then after a strict selection, I became a member of the temporary auxiliaries.

In the battle last night, after such a long period of psychological training and strict training, the temporary auxiliaries showed good condition, and completely unfolded their very heroic side, and finally won the victory, but in the end, because of the number of enemies too many, and the lack of combat experience, sixty-three people were killed.

War is meant to kill people. All those who participated in the battle had been prepared for this, not to mention that such a big victory was achieved, but only sixty-three people were killed and less than four hundred were wounded, no matter how you look at it, it was a big victory. Not to mention, when counting the results, many temporary auxiliaries were recorded for their military merits because of their excellent performance, some were directly promoted from temporary auxiliaries to auxiliaries, and some were focused on training in the temporary auxiliaries and became deputy squad leaders; There are also those who have made military merits and won silver awards...

This good side quickly diluted the sadness of losing a comrade-in-arms. Not to mention, they also heard that all the dead comrades-in-arms will actively look for his family, and once they are found, they will definitely give a very generous pension, which is enough. Such treatment is at least not found in other armies.

But even after doing this, the memorial service was still held. The young man who heard that he was the supreme leader read out everyone's name, this honor, I am afraid that all the temporary auxiliaries have never thought of it, such a glorious scene, such a solemn mourning, how can it not be touching, even tears.

In fact, before entering the temporary auxiliaries, most of these people didn't even have a decent name, what stones, dog leftovers, and iron eggs were their names, which was also because the family was too poor, and I heard that it was easy to support with a cheap name. It wasn't until they joined the temporary auxiliary army that they took a new name with the help of the company instructor, and now the new name will go with them.

There are many more people who think that if they can have such a solemn memorial service on the day they die, they will be satisfied. When you come to this world, you can be remembered by others, which is something that you didn't dare to think about before, and future generations will be proud and proud of today's scene.

The scene in front of him also shocked the 7,000 Miao troops who were already captive.

has the name of Miao Jun, but in fact, there are very few real Miao people among them, I am afraid that it is about one-tenth. The other more than 6,000 people were Han Chinese who came all the way from the Miao army and were recruited and joined along the way. For these people, there is no sense of belonging and loyalty at all, originally when they joined, it was just to fill their stomachs and live, and even if it weren't for the good time when they were all in their twenties, and they were stronger than other young men in terms of size and strength, I was afraid that even if they wanted to join the Miao Army temporarily, they would not be given a chance.

It is said that the most important sign of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the increase in population, especially after experiencing the Zhongxing of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu Zhu Di and Renxuan's rule, the population of the Ming Dynasty has reached a peak state, and the southwest has not been warred for a long time. The great man once said that many people are easy to do, and for Yang Chendong, who wants to send the Han people to the top of the world, the high-quality population is what he urgently needs, and he can't let it go.

Let's not talk about the physical background of these people, just say that the scene in front of them completely shocked them. Although most of these people have never been on the battlefield, and even if they are fighting, they have only recently come into contact with it, but they have never seen a pig run, so could it be that they have not eaten pork? When has anyone ever heard of such a favorable treatment of a dead soldier? What kind of army is this, at this moment, there is a big question mark in everyone's hearts.

In fact, not only the more than 6,000 Han people were surprised and single-mindedly questioned, but even the Miao army of about 700 was also stunned.

Because of geographical reasons, the Miao people have been entangled with the Han people for many years, and there are a lot of intermarriages with each other in private.

It is precisely because of being too close to the Han people that everyone has long been indistinguishable from each other. This time, if it weren't for Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's hot-headed momentary and wanted to levy heavy taxes in the southwest to support him to build a new army to fight the Northern Ming Dynasty, they would not have been forced to survive, and they would not have suddenly raised troops under the pull of King Min. In the final analysis, they don't have any ill feelings towards Da Ming, it's just that the living conditions are too bad, and there is no way to have to do it.
