Chapter 1037: Massive Conscription

Nearly five thousand names, it takes time to read them all, even if Yang Er's speed is not very slow, but it still took two hours, and during this period, there was no superfluous movement outside the entire city gate except for the wind, so everyone was listening carefully, as if every name shouted was imprinted into their hearts.

Until the last name was completely pronounced, in front of everyone, Yang Chendong raised his right hand and said loudly: "Committing aggression for no reason, killing people to pay for their lives, today sentence these people to death, execute them immediately, come on, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

More than 4,000 soldiers of the 5th Army Division shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

Nearly eight hundred black dragon riders shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the 1st Division of the 10,000 Cavalry under the world shouted in unison.

"Kill!"

More than 200,000 people on the tower shouted together.

The sound of killing shook the sky, rushing straight out of the clouds at night, and the nearly 50,000 Siamese prisoners who were shocked were frightened, and some of them could no longer stand, and sat on the ground.

Under the sound of killing, four hundred and eighty-four Siamese soldiers were ambushed, and they were all gagged in advance, so that they did not make a clear sound when they finally died. No one knows if they admit their mistake at this moment, or if they are still trying to curse something. But these don't matter anymore, the important thing is that they are dead, and they can't pose any threat to the Five Star Army.

Since ancient times, I don't know how many people have said that killing prisoners is an ominous thing. But this time, Yang Chendong ordered the killing of these prisoners, but no one made a different sound. For one thing, they weren't captives at all, they were just enemies who had lost their strength for a while; Second, the souls of the Fifth Army Division, especially the Black Rider Dragon Guard, must be pacified, and it is not a bad thing that these people who should have died on the battlefield a long time ago should be treated as waste.

The broadsword fell, 4,854 heads fell to the ground, and nearly 50,000 Siamese captives completely lost the heart to fight again.

With the death of these people, the news spread, and the reputation of the Five Star Army became even greater. Everyone saw the attitude of the five-star army towards the fallen soldiers, and heard that not only the direct army of these five-star army, but also the Cambodian army and the dead people who participated in the resistance to the enemy in this battle received a large pension, and I heard that King Wunan also made a promise, and he will arrange work for the families of these martyrs, that is to say, he is not only responsible for the dead, but also for the living. As soon as this news came out, the number of people in the entire Cambodian province who signed up for the army suddenly increased several times more than usual.

Many young men were still complaining that the appearance of the Five-Star Army had broken the tranquility of their previous lives, but after seeing Yang Chendong's attitude towards the soldiers and civilians of Su Weng City, their mentality changed, and they found that King Wunan really regarded them as his own people, and he was really working hard for them to have a better life in the future, and on top of these, there was nothing more than the need to respect the Han people, what is this?

When have ordinary people had the final say and enjoyed true freedom? There is just one more Han nationality above, as long as this is recognized, they can get a better life and more freedom, why not?

No one likes to be inherently inferior, but when the general trend is like this, there is no power to change. In such an environment, when they are soldiers defend the country, they can regain a hope, and even have the opportunity to raise their nationality and glorify their ancestors, so why should they not do it?

In fact, as early as the moment the Phnom Penh dynasty became the province of Cambodia, some policies about the Yang family were circulated, but most people did not believe it. Today, Yang Chendong taught everyone a lesson with facts, this kind of suspicion finally disappeared, allowing more people to see the difference of the Five-Star Army, making more people envious, and more people started to take practical action and began to sign up for conscription.

Ding Dingwei and Dahn told Yang Chendong the good news, and then there was a look of anticipation. They are still happy from the bottom of their hearts about the change in the concept of the people, although they were the former ministers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but who is better to the people can still be seen, Yang Chendong really wants to let the people under his rule live a happier life, just by virtue of this, they should support. And the reason why he showed his anticipation was that he was worried about whether Yang Chendong would allow these aspiring young people to enlist in the army.

After all, the Five-Star Army pays attention to taking the route of elite soldiers, and what has always been required is that the soldiers are fine but not too many. It would be possible to refuse to enlist these civilians on this ground, but it would greatly discourage them, which would make it much more difficult to manage them in the future.

In this expectant look, Yang Chendong gave the answer after a little groaning, "Even if they are so full of enthusiasm, how can they break their hearts, then arrange an assessment, if the conditions permit, there is no problem with identity and background, and they can join the army." ”

Yang Chendong actually agreed, which naturally made Ding Dingwei and Dahn happy. But then the question came again, and Dahn quickly said: "Sixth Young Master, there are many people who have signed up to join the army this time, not only Su Weng City, but also many important towns nearby There are many school-age youths, if they pass the assessment and political examination, can they all join the army?" ”

"Of course." Yang Chendong didn't understand what Dahn meant by this.

Ding Dingwei, who was on the side, quickly said loudly: "Sixth Young Master, that's the case, this time there are a lot of people, and there should be a lot of people who have passed the assessment, if they all join the army, then the strength of Cambodia Province will naturally increase several times, so the financial pressure will naturally be great." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are physically qualified and voluntary, you can take it, but you have to explain to them in advance that you can't use so many soldiers in one Cambodian province alone, and they will have a new place to go in the future, as long as you are prepared for this, you can collect as much as you want."

This battle made Yang Chendong see the disadvantages of insufficient troops. Although he had felt this way before, but with the elite route, even if the enemy was strong, what could he do? It's not the same as losing at his hands.

But this time, in the face of the sudden attack of the Siamese army, the lack of troops was finally shown, and Yang Chendong finally understood that sometimes it is not your elite soldiers, but you still need numerical superiority. This is exactly what it means that ants bite and kill elephants.

A small Siamese state has given him such a lot of pressure, so how can he not have enough troops to conquer the West and occupy a larger area of land in the future? In this way, conscription is that other forces can feed so many troops, how can the Yang family not be able to do it?

Out of consideration for the future, Yang Chendong agreed to expand the army, and not only that, but he also sent messages to other provinces. He knew very well that the matter of expanding the conscription in Cambodian Province would not be long before it would spread, and at that time, the middle-aged men in other provinces would not be able to avoid such a request.

The matter of conscription was thus decided, and he just sent a telegram to the City Lord's Mansion and the Military Department of Chichi City as usual to state the facts, which explained his attitude, I just informed you, and I did not mean to ask for your opinion, just do it.

The matter of conscription was handed over to people like Ding Dingwei and Dahn who were familiar with the local environment, and Yang Chendong met with Lu Zhuo, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the New First Army, who came later, in Suweng City. For this old subordinate, Yang Chendong naturally had nothing polite, and after understanding that the other party's situation was stable, and there were no symptoms of unadaptability, he said: "Even if there is no problem with the army, then go down and prepare, and set off in two days, it is time to seek justice from Siam."

......

The royal capital of Siam is Bangkok.

General Tong Si had already fled in defeat, but the moment he entered the royal capital, he had already lost his freedom, and was taken down by the king's guards, who had been waiting here for a long time, and put in prison.

This time, believing Tong Si's words, the Siamese king Yi Liqi sent a large army to reinforce the eastern front, and even sent a small amount of artillery in his hand, but in the end, it was not Yang Chendong that was taken, but the news of the army's defeat.

Even if the matter fails, someone must be responsible for this matter, and Tong Si will naturally become the sinner who is responsible.

For this reason, Eliqi found Xiangguo Hamod and announced to him personally the decision to behead Tongsi. According to his words, the general will be punished if he loses the battle, especially when the counterattack of the five-star army is imminent, if he does not deal with Tongsi, the other generals will not do their best, and in the end they may flee back to the royal capital after losing the battle.

Hammod had a different opinion about the king's order. In his opinion, the two armies are at war, and it is unlucky to kill the general, which will only chill the other generals. But this was an order from the king, and he had to obey it, so he arranged for someone to go to the dungeon and announced that he would be taken into custody and beheaded when the war was over. In his opinion, if things have to be done, then postpone them as much as possible and don't let the bad influence spread.

Tong Si, who was only one step away from success, was locked in a dungeon, waiting to be beheaded after the battle. I'm afraid that he knew that this would be the result, and whether he would escape back to the royal capital is a matter of two words. And what Tong Si didn't expect was that even if he was about to die, the Five Star Army did not let him go, he fainted after taking a meal, and then when he opened his eyes, he had been removed from the dungeon, he couldn't believe that someone had paid a lot of money to buy him from the dungeon.
