Ma Xiang stood on the battlefield that had just ended the battle, the soft grass slope was full of corpses and blood, many places became slippery because of the moisture of blood, some of the rescue team members who were treating the wounded were walking the slippery grass, and from time to time some people would slip and fall to the ground with their soles. However, the prisoners of these rescue teams and the doctors of the Northern Army did not have time to complain, and hurriedly got up and continued to carry the wounded.

The problem of the wounded was already coveted by the Yusha Human Resources Department when the troops were first dispatched, and although Zhao Ximin's northern army plundered a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the battles along the way, it was still quite stretched to pay for a large number of weapons and supplies. Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade proposed that resources or other "service items" could be exchanged for things, and Dongfang Port, as a "population black hole", naturally started the idea of captive at first sight.

Even if the Northern Army ordered hundreds of Senate rifles and two machine guns at one time, it would be impossible to kill all the enemies on a huge battlefield, and the soldiers would probably surrender in an unfavorable situation, so the number of prisoners should not be small. The infantry battalions of the Southern Army are basically "elite soldiers" trained by the Maidno people, and they are among the best in the whole of Annam in terms of age and physical strength, so it is quite appropriate for such prisoners to be put into the previous labor camp, at least quarrying can do a lot more work than the gangsters who were handed over by the police headquarters. Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade negotiated with Zhao Ximin through Zhao Siwen to hand over the soldiers of the Southern Army captured in the battle to Dongfang Port, which would be converted into value according to the quality of the prisoners. These values can be paid for by the Oriental Port in Chinese silver dollars, or they can be directly exchanged for various goods purchased from China in the future. As for the price, the Northern Army is also quite excited, an adult male prisoner is converted into five yuan, and an adult female prisoner is converted into twenty yuan. In order to prevent the soldiers of the Northern Army from directly killing the wounded in order to take healthy prisoners, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade also marked the price of the wounded, three yuan for lightly wounded prisoners, two yuan for seriously injured prisoners, and one yuan for crippled prisoners. In such a situation, even the cheapest crippled prisoner can be exchanged for at least one dollar, you must know that the price of Annam has not been high, according to the previous rules of first-class reward, the head of an enemy is only exchanged for less than five dollars of silver, and it has to be converted into fire consumption, and you can get a little more than four dollars. In front of the Chinese, only the dead are worthless, so the rescue team took the prisoners on the battlefield to carefully examine every "corpse" that fell to the ground, basically walking over is a kick, and those who can move are carried away. In order to ensure that there are no gaps, there are even special personnel in the rescue team who run back and forth to re-examine each "corpse".

Sun Yuan is cool and hateful to me

The captives brought by the rescue team were originally not willing to do things, but now that they are prisoners, it is very good that people did not cut off their heads in exchange for bounties, not to mention that they are now taking in their own comrades, even if they have opinions, they can only hold back at the moment. And they were also told that they would not be sent to North Annan, but would be sent to the port of Orient to work with the arrival of the next Chinese. After three months of work, you can regain your freedom, and you will be able to work in different factories according to your level of education, and you will be able to get a good salary. These captives, who were mainly illiterate, had grown up under the influence of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and they have always struggled to find a way to get an education, but now they are captives and can still receive education, as long as they work for three months, they can be free, where to find such a good thing? Therefore, the prisoners are now running around with great interest on stretchers and following the doctors of the rescue team, and they will run when they see the wounded lifted. As for whether the northerners will lie to them, they are not very suspicious, after all, it is the Chinese who are packing the tickets, not to mention that the wounded who have been captured now are also really receiving treatment, if they are deceiving, why bother?

Ma Xiang took a deep breath, and a smell of blood came from the air, reminding him that although this battle was won, it was still made of flesh and blood. In order to let the Southern Army take the bait, he had to let many Northern Army soldiers accept musket fire in front, and the later "fake rout escape" still used this method of sending the Southern Army to paralyze the Southern Army, which led the Southern Army to step into the encirclement with confidence.

The ship is far away, Sun Shu, and the moon shows the love of the feather

Ship Kedi Yuanqing, Sun Shu, Zhan Yue, and Qing Yu: "Oh! I know! Zhao Siwen suddenly woke up like an empowering, "That's right! The enemy knows that they will not die if they encounter us and surrender, so they will easily surrender to us in the future battle, so that their resistance will not be as resolute as before, and it will not be particularly difficult to fight. ”

"Chief!" Zhao Siwen's voice sounded beside him, "The casualties are out," Zhao Siwen said as he opened a small record book on the side, and at the same time pointed at it with a pencil a few times before finding the place where the record was, "We have a total of seventy-five killed and ninety-eight injured in normal battles, and thirty-two of them are seriously injured, and they may not be able to be saved." ”

"Well," Ma Xiang nodded quietly, in fact, he still had a great feeling about the casualty rate of the army in North Annan, this army had just come into contact with the Senate rifle last night, but today it won a battle, in addition to the power of the rifle and the simplicity of operation, the quality of the elite soldiers of the Northern Army integrated by Zhao Ximin is still relatively good. "Zhao Siwen, what about the casualties on the other side?"

"We have captured a total of 270 people in the battle, of which 130 are able-bodied and uninjured, another 56 are slightly injured, the others are more seriously injured, and the remaining six are seriously injured, and it is estimated that they may not survive tonight," Zhao Siwen said and paused for a moment, "In addition, there are more than 30 people with crippled limbs, and even if they are injured, they will end up disabled, I think these disabled prisoners might as well send money to let them go." ”

"No," Ma Xiang said resolutely, "this is our policy of taking prisoners, you must know that the policy of the Senate is not a woman's benevolence, but a kind of propaganda, you see, you followed the South Bank Army to attack Shabak at that time, if we used the method you said to deal with you at that time, what would be the outcome?" When you encounter the wounded, you abandon them, and when you encounter the disabled, what do you think of us? ”

Zhao Siwen was silent, he firmly remembered the tragic situation of the Battle of Shabak, but what left more impression on him was the Chinese's treatment of the wounded of the South Bank Army, almost wholeheartedly treating the wounded, which made him have a delusion for a while, and even felt that the South Bank Army had won the victory to obtain such treatment. It was this kind of treatment that made him almost no longer have the mind to resist or find an opportunity to escape, but he found the opportunity to join the Chinese, so that he had the opportunity to join the Army Intelligence Bureau and become a field agent, in other words, he can serve the Senate here today, almost all thanks to the benevolence of the Chinese military doctors under Shabak City.

"Okay, it's okay," Ma Xiang saw that Zhao Siwen was silent, knowing that what he had just said left a feeling on him, so he continued, "It's normal to have such thoughts, after all, these people were going to kill us from the beginning, but we are the victors now, and the victors are the ones who have the power to make the rules, and we have formulated such a captive policy, do you know why?" ”

Zhao Siwen shook his head, and several field agents in the vicinity also put down the matter at hand, in fact, even if they ate the preferential treatment policy of the captives of the Senate, the reason for the captive policy still made them puzzled, and now that the patriarch was talking about this issue, they naturally came over to listen.

"The captive policy is one of the most effective methods used to break the enemy's will to resist," Ma Xiang said, pointing to the captives who were busy in the distance, "What you can see now is that the captives are living a good life and do not seem to have received any punishment for defeat, but for us, the propaganda that the captives are treated favorably will spread, so that our enemies do not have to worry about losing their heads after defeat, so there is no need to fight to the end in battle, as long as they surrender at the right time, they can get life and property protection." ”

"Oh! I know! Zhao Siwen suddenly woke up like an empowering, "That's right! The enemy knows that they will not die if they encounter us and surrender, so they will easily surrender to us in the future battle, so that their resistance will not be as resolute as before, and it will not be particularly difficult to fight. ”

"That's right, that's what it means," Ma Xiang said and grinned, but Zhao Siwen asked again, "Chief, I figured out the preferential treatment of prisoners, but why save these seriously wounded?" And the crippled captives, they are obviously useless! Not only is medicine wasted, but the cripple cannot be restored to work. ”

"You're wrong, a lot of work doesn't need to be able-bodied, and people with disabilities have their own work to do, and if they do it well, they can even support their families," Ma Xiang said. After speaking, Ma Xiang took a deep breath and walked forward.

Zhao Siwen followed behind Ma Xiang and continued to report, "By the way, chief, we annihilated three hundred and thirty people in the battle, and captured more than fifty war horses, these can also be exchanged for supplies with us, right?" Ma Xiang turned his head to look at him and smiled, "Of course, horses have always been an important material we need, not to mention alive, even if they are dead." ”

As he spoke, Ma Xiang had already walked to the place where he and the dragoons had fought at close range, and there were still several corpses lying crookedly on the ground, he walked closer, half-knelt down and patted two of them on the shoulder, "Thank you, thank you for saving me." He pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Zhao Siwen and said, "Prepare two sets of coffins and send the two of them back, their performance in the battle is heroic, I will write a special letter of merit to the senate later, and let them select two children from the orphans to pass on to their names." ”

Zhao Siwen's face suddenly turned red, "Chief, this specification is too high, right?" In the case of dying in battle, the most is to enter Xishan, and now it is difficult to receive the medal of the Senate? ”

"You also blocked the bullet for me today, if you sacrifice, I will also apply for your merits," Ma Xiang said and smiled bitterly, Zhao Siwen's face turned white again, "Chief, I'm not here to grab merit, just ......"

"I'm not taking credit for you or his life," Ma Xiang shook his head, "Life is unique, they protected me with their lives, but I have nothing to compensate them for, so I can only thank you in such a cheap way." Today you also blocked the bullet for me, such a heroic act I will remember, and when I go back, I will also ask for credit for you, live well, I hope everyone can live to get the medal. ”

The ship is far away and the hatred is not cool, and Sun Chasuo is lonely and cold

Zhao Siwen nodded vigorously, "Okay chief!" We will definitely live well. Several field agents next to him also nodded their heads.

"General Ma!" With a call, Ma Xiang turned his head to look over, and several generals with full clothes rode over from the woods quickly, "Hahahaha!" What a victory! Victory! In the end, it is still the sophisticated armament of the Chinese! The Southerners don't even have the power to fight back in the face of such a good weapon! ”

The leader was none other than Zhao Ximin, who was opposed when Ma Xiang proposed a head-on fight. No one knows better than him the morale of the Northern Army at this moment, and even with the weapons of the Chinese, it is still difficult to grasp the situation when the morale is insufficient. However, Ma Xiang used the Senate as a threat, so he had to agree to join the counterattack with a force of 2,000 men.

Zhao Ximin seriously lacked confidence in this army, he neither participated in the command, nor did he watch the battle, until the two sides officially exchanged fire, he was surprised by his own rapid firepower, climbed to a high place and then watched a machine gun and rifle fire show in amazement, whether it was the infantry battalion he was afraid of before, or the dragoons who appeared for the first time today, in the face of such rapid firepower, he still only became a deserter, and there was no decent resistance. At this time, Zhao Ximin was full of confidence in Chinese goods, and fully understood why his South Shore Army was in Shabak City at that time.

"Great work! Great work! Zhao Ximin excitedly jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Ma Xiang, holding his fists with both hands, "Fortunately, with the help of General Ma and the Chinese, this made me wait for the army to turn defeat into victory." If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely be able to completely annihilate this group of bandits in the south and recover our ......" He couldn't help but be stunned when he said this. In his early years, he was the chief general of Nan Annan, and after the defeat and retreat under Shabak City, he defected to the north, but he became the commander of the northern army on the shelf, and now he himself can't figure out whether he is a southern general or a northern general, if he really fights, no one will recognize his status, and if there is no status and no force to recognize, he will neither get food and salary supplements, nor can he get the support of the forces, and in the end, I am afraid that he can only fall into the grass, where should he go? Even he himself was at a loss.
