The Guang'an rebels had already been defeated by Jian Liangzhi's more than 1,000 main forces, and they did not encounter any resistance when they captured the prisoners, and soon cleared the battlefield.

However, at this time, several officers under Jian Liangzhi's command were a little unhappy, because the battle just now was mainly fought by them, and although they had an absolute advantage, they still killed and injured dozens of people.

But then when the prisoners were captured and cleaned up the battlefield, because the Guang'an rebels fled in the direction of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, the Qingshan Patrol Battalion captured a lot of prisoners, which is nothing, the most important thing is that the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is not only to capture prisoners, they are more about cleaning the battlefield.

What does it mean to clean up the battlefield?

Naturally, it's picking up guns!

"My lord, this Qingshan Patrol Camp is too inauthentic, and they have taken half of this trophy!" Some people complained, although they didn't look down on these tattered second-hand ordnance, but anyone who saw that the battle was fought by themselves, and half of the loot was robbed by others, would also complain.

Jian Liangzhi didn't care, it was just a few guns, which were nothing to their regular army, and only local second-line troops like patrol battalions and guards would treat a few broken guns as treasures.

After a while, Jian Liangzhi saw Lin Ziran, and without waiting for Lin Ziran to speak, he just took the initiative to speak: "Officer Lin Ying, this time you did a good job!" ”

This is obviously a compliment, but Lin Ziran was slightly dissatisfied in his heart when he heard it.

It's not that Jian Liangzhi doesn't speak well, in fact, when Jian Liangzhi said this, his tone was very kind, and with an appreciative attitude, normal subordinates would definitely be very happy when they heard it.

But Lin Ziran is not his subordinate!

Although it is said that this time he was ordered to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Guang'an rebels, at best, it was only a coordinated operation, which did not mean that Lin Ziran was Jian Liangzhi's subordinate.

However, although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he did not show it, but said a few polite words, saying that it was all Lord Jane, you commanded well and something.

It's just that in his heart, Lin Ziran has already made up his mind to pay attention, and after the violent soldiers are million, he will destroy this Jian Liangzhi first!

Let you pretend to be a force in front of me......

As for now!

Ahem! If you should be cowardly, you have to coax, and if you say two good words, you won't lose a piece of meat......

After some politeness between the two sides, the atmosphere was quite friendly.

After a while, the army did not stay long in this barren mountain and forest, Jian Liangzhi immediately led his troops to a nearby village to temporarily rest, and it was expected that tomorrow they would continue to go north to encircle and suppress the Guang'an rebels.

As for Lin Ziran, he was preparing to return to Qingshan Town with his troops, and smoothly escorted more than 400 newly captured Guang'an prisoners of war back to Qingshan Town.

Jian Liangzhi still had to lead the army to continue to fight north, but he didn't have much spare time to come and detain these prisoners of war, so he asked Lin Ziran to escort these prisoners of war back to Qingshan Town first.

Luo Mazi walked to Lin Ziran's side and said worriedly: "My lord, these more than 400 people are not easy to deal with, they can't be killed or released, this is brought back to Qingshan Town, is it possible that we have been watching them!" ”

Lin Ziran also has a headache!

Jian Liangzhi asked him to escort these prisoners of war to Qingshan Town for detention first, but he didn't say much about what to do next.

But just like Luo Mazi said, this is more than 400 prisoners of war, and this is not an ordinary civilian, they are all prisoners of war, even if they are unarmed now, but they can't relax their guard.

This is tantamount to wasting a lot of troops to guard for no reason.

Moreover, Jian Liangzhi did not directly allocate him rations to support these prisoners of war, didn't this make him Lin Ziran pay for these prisoners of war by himself?

Lin Ziran wants to find Jian Liangzhi, no matter how bad it is, he has to get the rations of the prisoners of war first, he Lin Ziran never does loss-making business.

It's just that Jian Liangzhi has already set off with the cavalry regiment first, but Lin Ziran's old acquaintance Hao Ren is still there, and Lin Ziran immediately found him and asked a few words.

Hao Ren heard Lin Ziran's doubts and said: "According to the usual practice, generally all units dispose of prisoners of war on their own, and the prisoners of war on the side of Chongguang City are all managed by our third division military police. ”

Hao Ren continued: "As for Brother Lin, although the situation on your side is a little special, Brother Lin doesn't have to worry, the division headquarters will handle it properly, and the rations for the prisoners of war will also be provided separately." ”

Hearing that the headquarters of the Third Division would be responsible for the rations of the prisoners of war, Lin Ziran was a lot relieved, it was more than 400 mouths, although it was impossible to give them too good food, but it was not a small amount to eat every day, and he Lin Ziran was not willing to pay for it himself.

After solving the problem of rations for the prisoners of war, Lin Ziran embarked on the road back with the Qingshan Patrol Camp and four hundred prisoners of war.

The road was quite smooth, but halfway through, Lin Ziran had been thinking about a problem, that is, how to improve the overall quality of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.

After thinking about it, Lin Ziran set his eyes on the frustrated Guang'an rebel officers among the prisoners of war.

The continuous fighting in the past two days made Lin Ziran once again deeply feel the overall quality of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion under his command.

He had already decided that he would strengthen the training of the troops after he returned, and even planned to find a few people from the regular army to serve as instructors.

But now he found out that the Guang'an prisoner of war officer in front of him was not a ready-made instructor!

He didn't know it before, but now he knows that the Guang'an rebel army they surrounded and annihilated was the third battalion of the Ninth Musket Brigade, and this Ninth Musket Brigade was the main force of the Guang'an Army.

Even if it is not the most elite unit, this third battalion is much better than the ordinary regular army.

The officers in such an elite army are naturally elites.

If you can let them act as instructors to train the few bandit peasant officers under them, or even help with the training, the effect should be very good.

The only question now is: are these POW officers willing to help themselves train officers and train soldiers?

After returning to Castle Peak, he began to deal with these prisoners of war.

Those ordinary prisoner of war soldiers have nothing to say, they are just ordinary soldiers who serve as soldiers and eat food, and there is no hatred between the two sides, Lin Ziran is too lazy to put them in prison, that would be too wasteful, but directly let them dig a ditch and repair a wall in the oil field area.

Prisoners of war work for rations, fair and just!

The construction of the fence in the Qingshan Oilfield area has never stopped, not only the wall of the inner circle of the plant should continue to be heightened and thickened, but more importantly, it is necessary to continue to extend to the periphery, at least to enclose the place of the new oil well to avoid outsiders from prying eyes and even destruction.

But if you hire young people to repair it, the cost is a huge amount, so the construction of these walls and ditches was built by hundreds of bandits with two hearts before.

Now, these 400 prisoners of war can just be used, and these prisoners of war don't even need Lin Ziran to pay rations themselves, but the division headquarters pulls them out, and they don't need Lin Ziran a dime, which is more economical than using the hundreds of bandit laborers, although the hundreds of bandit laborers don't use labor, but the rations still have to be given.

Ordinary prisoners of war soldiers are easy to arrange, but the officers and a dozen sergeants in the prisoners of war are not so easy to arrange.

Because Lin Ziran was going to bring them over to train officers and soldiers for himself.

But how do you win it over?
