It's just that no matter whether they are 100% Miao people in their bones or not, they rarely have contact with war in normal times, just because they rely on the relationship between Miao people, they are more valued and believed by Miao Jinlong, and they are in a better position when they fight. But when it comes to knowledge, it is no different from other Ming people, just like the scene that happened in front of them, it also shocked them, although a person's hands were tied, it did not prevent them from opening their eyes to look at all this in front of them, and what kind of reputation these mercenaries were doing.

Under the gaze of more than 10,000 people, Yang Chendong finished reading the memorial speech. Then he took off his military hat and shouted to the audience, "Shoot and pay three minutes of silence to your dead comrades." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Chendong was the first to take the initiative to lower his head, and then there were Hu Mang, Yang Er and others around him, and then the regiment commander Luo Po, political commissar Kong Jie, and a group of Leng Feng, auxiliaries and temporary auxiliaries.

More than 7,000 people bowed their heads at the same time in silent mourning, paying tribute to their dead comrades, the scene was huge, the environment was serious, and it suddenly shocked the 7,000 captives, and at this moment their hearts seemed to be deeply pierced by something, making them feel a little difficult involuntarily.

"Horn Horn..."

Captain Qiu Wu of the First Guard Team and Captain Dao Xiao of the Second Guard Team led a group of team members to start firing guns and let them off to see off their comrades on the road to heaven.

Under the bursts of gunfire, especially the continuous shooting of bullets, in this atmosphere, the seven thousand captives received a process of re-education in their hearts.

"Come, cremate the sixty-three martyrs, and then send their bones back to the heroes monument in the city, and then they will be forever worshiped by the incense of the descendants, and their names will be engraved on the list of heroes one by one, for their descendants to pay homage to, so that the world can remember."

Under Yang Chendong's roar, piles of torches were lit, and sixty-three corpses were burned. I don't know if it's an illusion, at this moment, it seems that many people see a breeze blowing above these burning corpses, and it seems that the soul is really liberated, or go to heaven or be reincarnated in a better world.

The memorial service is over, but the significance of this symbol is far from over. This is equivalent to a big lesson, and every step is deeply resounding in everyone's hearts. At this moment, it seems that the onlookers are not afraid of death, and in their thoughts, there is some sustenance for the soul after death, so what is there to be afraid of? Why is it not a fate for soldiers to die on the battlefield?

Conversely, if you don't die, what if you can survive? Doesn't that mean that there are more good days waiting for you in the future? Even if it is a dead person, the family has something to rely on, and the chance of survival is still very high. For a time, all the soldiers were not afraid of death, the general wanted to make meritorious contributions, and the morale of the whole army became even higher at this moment.

The memorial service was also a shock to the seven thousand captives, a ritual that they had never seen before, or even heard of, deeply stimulated them. Political Commissar Kong Jie was keenly aware of something, and immediately asked Yang Chendong for instructions, wanting to try to take this opportunity to recruit troops. After all, the next step is to reach into the southwest, if these locals, especially those Miao people, help them, I am afraid that they can really get twice the result with half the effort if they do many things.

Yang Chendong originally had such a plan, and Kong Jie took the initiative to ask Ying, where is there any reason to disagree. At the moment, he waved his hand, saying that as long as the innocent person is not the kind of person who is a traitor, he can consider absorbing it first to become a temporary auxiliary, and at the same time, he can also promise them that once he performs well, he will get the same opportunity to compete with other temporary auxiliaries.

Kong Jie, who had been doing ideological work, took the order to go, and at that moment, with the battalion instructors and company instructors as the backbone, he also selected some soldiers who could speak well, formed a small group, went deep into the captives, began to investigate the past of these people, and screened out the targets that could be absorbed.

Under the strong offensive momentum, Hermes-Epitek, which had no sense of belonging, quickly accepted the adaptation. After the head was up, the next thing was easy to do, and it didn't take long for the captives to change their ways, and even some Miao people were convinced.

Maybe they knew from the beginning that no matter who became the emperor and conquered the country, it didn't have much to do with them, even if so, it was better to follow the mercenaries in front of them. They had heard from those cold front auxiliaries what kind of rich and beautiful life their families were living now. Some of the things that come out of their mouths are not even heard of by these people, but when they see these people describe everything in a serious way, and everyone says more or less the same thing, they believe it.

Don't say that it is true in the first place, but it is a lie, and it is not uncommon for it to come true if there are more people.

Of course, not everyone can be absorbed into the temporary auxiliaries. After investigation, and encouraging reporting and exposure, it was still found that some people with bad hearts, including Miao people and Han people, when they captured the city of Nanming not long ago, they did a lot of bad things about burning, killing and looting.

Once such a person is found out, Kong Jie will be sentenced according to the evil they have done according to the law.

In the city, the relevant laws are gradually being improved, and there are also some provisions that explain what kind of crime a person commits and what kind of punishment he will be punished. According to this demand, more than 100 people have been sentenced to death, and more than 600 have been sentenced to labor reform, ranging in years.

Those who were executed were executed directly in the barracks, and more than 100 large knives fell, more than 100 heads fell to the ground, and more than 100 people died.

As for the labor reform, all of them were sent to Leizhou Mansion behind them, where the Yang Navy had already sent ships to wait on the coast border, and they sent a lot of new weapons and ammunition from the arsenal, and in addition to the more than 600 prisoners who had done wrong, there were also more than 1,000 Han people or Miao people who were unqualified or could not figure it out and did not want to join the temporary auxiliary army.

These men will all be sent to the small glass island, where they will serve their sentences and atone for their sins by labor. Others will also be placed in units and factories as appropriate.

In the end, out of 7,000 captives, only 5,000 were actually allowed to be added to the temporary auxiliaries. But even so, this result has made Yang Chendong very satisfied. After a battle is fought, we have learned lessons and experience, and the strength of the army has been strengthened and strengthened.

In the same way, the 5,000 people who were accepted were very happy. Not to mention everything they have learned in the past few days, they are full of good feelings for mercenaries, and they have greatly improved their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Just take it out casually, the shoes they usually wear are straw sandals. (In the Ming Dynasty, only officials and wealthy families could wear soap boots or boots.) In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the imperial court further ordered: it is strictly forbidden for common people, merchants, skills, infantry soldiers, Yu Ding and miscellaneous servants to wear boots, and only to wear leather (Ge Weng), except in the northern areas where the weather is cold and freezing, it is allowed to use cowhide to sew boots, and offenders are punished with capital punishment. And ordinary people are mostly straw sandals and leather Weng, that is, ordinary shoes and leggings (靿) look. There is naturally no problem with walking with such shoes, but if you want to walk for a long time, it is very easy to have problems. ）

Let's see what kind of shoes the mercenaries wear.

The cloth shoes are all counted, the lowest are rubber shoes (the garment factory is imitated by the army rubber shoes provided by Yang Chendong, with the seriousness of the people at that time, and there is no possibility of laziness in the hand, the solidity of such shoes has improved a lot), in the more powerful, just like the elite Leng Feng are wearing high-waisted leather boots, and the front is the sword mountain and the sea of fire dare to break through.

Once you join the temporary auxiliaries, you can immediately get two pairs of rubber shoes with the same size as your feet and a set of very wear-resistant turquoise training uniforms without military ranks, and you don't know how many people have been sucked by this.

If the people are rich and accustomed to a stable life, then some people want to rebel, and it will be difficult for them to become a climate.

Having said that, when it comes to lessons and experience, after a cold weapon battle, Yang Chendong saw his shortcomings. That is, when there is not much difference in the weapons used by everyone, even if you are fully prepared, there will be casualties on the battlefield, so how to avoid such a thing has become a problem that Yang Chendong needs to seriously consider.

called the head of the Leng Feng Second Regiment Luo Po and the head of the auxiliary corps Lu Zhuo, and after some discussion, everyone finally decided that in the future, whenever there is a war, all Leng Feng does not need to fight with any cold weapons, and directly use the 95 style to fight with an overwhelming advantage (except in special circumstances); As for the auxiliaries, every three people are assigned an eighty-one bar, and the other two use a strong crossbow to cooperate, (one in wartime) in short, to save themselves on the battlefield and kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent.

As for the temporary auxiliaries, their loyalty has yet to be tested and their strength has yet to be proven, so they can only be issued with steel knives and spears. Of course, even the quality of these steel knives is different from that used by other Ming troops, and they must be a little harder. Even when slashing, it is possible to cut the opponent's big knife in two and gain an advantage.

If it is a battlefield, then there are no immortals. Temporary auxiliaries are equivalent to a big fish that wants to jump through the floodgates, only if you fully show your advantages and truly gain everyone's recognition, can you complete the carp jumping dragon gate, become a formal auxiliary, and enjoy the qualification of using advanced muskets.
