Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 299

Now all the people who died in battle have been carried out, and the corpses have undergone some simple make-up to make them not look so tragic.And the other wounded comrades were lined up all around. This scene stunned all the auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers except for the elite Leng Feng, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Needless to say, Leng Feng, in the previous war on Xiaoliuqiu Island, there were also instances of comrades sacrificed, and one could see what was going on just by looking at the situation.

Auxiliary soldiers are also better. When most people joined the army in Chixiancheng, they heard about the death ceremony of comrades who would die. They said that this would allow their souls to go to heaven without suffering. They also said that this kind of ceremony is called a memorial service. .It's just that I heard it is heard, I have never really experienced it.

The temporary auxiliary soldiers were completely dumbfounded. They had neither heard nor seen it, so they stood there with a look of confusion at this moment.

Perhaps when they thought about it, last night was clearly a big victory, so why did they make everyone look so tragic?What the hell is this going to do?

In the eyes of others, defeating [-] enemies with less than [-] casualties, killing more than [-], and capturing more than [-], is naturally a great victory among great victories.It's just that in Leng Feng's eyes, this little victory is nothing. Fortunately, most of them used cold weapons yesterday. If they used the Ninth Five-Year Plan, I'm afraid this battle can't be regarded as a victory. At most, it will be a tie. .

The Yang family's army gathered here, and at the same time, all the [-] captives were escorted here. According to Yang Chendong's words, this is to receive pre-war education.And when this method is used well, it will play an unexpected role.

When all the personnel were present, Luo Po, the head of Leng Feng's Second Regiment, ran to Yang Chendong who was wearing a marshal uniform, and saluted a very standard military salute: "Comrade Chief, all the members participating in the memorial service have assembled, please ask for instructions."

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

In fact, after these officers put on their regular uniforms, they really looked impressive.Many soldiers who were sprinting towards the officer army secretly made up their minds that they must perform well in the future and wear a set of officer uniforms, so that when they return to their hometown, they will be so majestic.

Besides, Yang Chendong, when he walked to the center of the temporary stage with standard steps, the entire barracks 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 what Yang Chendong and he are going to say next.

"Dear comrades-in-arms" did not use manuscripts. Yang Chendong chose the way of impromptu speeches. Fortunately, he has experienced many such occasions in his previous life. How should he say, he already has a draft in his heart.It's just that the years are different. Today he adopts a practical way of speaking.

The target patrolled the audience, not even letting go of those Miao Army prisoners who were still tied with ropes, and then said in a solemn voice, "Dear comrades, last night, the Miao Army suddenly launched a violent attack on our camp. Attack. Facing the test of life and death, you performed bravely, handed in a perfect answer sheet, defeated your opponent with bravery, and won the victory. You are the best, and I honor you Proud, salute!"

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

"But" the voice changed, and 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 Because of their heroic efforts, this is our glorious and great victory."

"Today we are deeply mourning our dearest comrades-in-arms with a very sad heart. Ren Zhuzi of the Second Auxiliary Battalion, First Company, First Platoon, Second Squad, and Yang Weisong, one company, one platoon Third Squad of the Temporary Secondary Auxiliary Battalion"

The names of 63 people were read out one by one by Yang Chendong's mouth.

Whenever he read a person's name, behind him, there would be a soldier's body covered with a white sheet. Until he finished reading all of them, there was already a slight cry from the scene.

Those who had tears in their eyes and couldn't help crying were friends and relatives of these dead soldiers.Originally, they were all members of the Yellow Bandit Army, but they were the people of Nanming. Because they lost their homes and couldn't survive the war, they had to enlist in the army and earn a living.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 mercenary army, and after going through strict selection, I became a member of the temporary auxiliary army.

In the battle last night, after such a long period of psychological teaching and rigorous training, the temporary auxiliary soldiers showed a good condition, fully unfolding their heroic side, and finally won the victory, but in the end it was because of the number of enemies Too many, plus no combat experience, 63 people died in battle.

War is meant to kill people.All the people who participated in the war were prepared for this point, not to mention such a big victory, only 63 people were killed and less than 400 people were injured. No matter how you look at it, it was a big victory.Not to mention, when counting the results of the battle, many temporary auxiliary soldiers were recorded for their military merits because of their excellent performance. Some were directly promoted from temporary auxiliary soldiers to auxiliary soldiers, and some were specially trained in temporary auxiliary soldiers Became the deputy squad leader; some also made military exploits and won silver rewards

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

But even after doing this, the memorial service was still held.The young man who was said to be the supreme leader read everyone's name. This honor is something that all the temporary auxiliary soldiers have never thought of. Such a glorious scene, such a solemn mourning, how can it not be moved? , even tears.

In fact, most of these people did not even have a decent name before entering the temporary auxiliary army. Stones, dog leftovers, and iron eggs were their names. easy to feed.It was not until they joined the temporary auxiliary soldiers that each of them got a new name with the help of the company instructor. Now this new name will go with them. In one scene, these 63 comrades-in-arms can also rest in peace.

There are even more people who think that if they can have such a solemn memorial service on the day they die, they will be satisfied.To come to this world for a while, and to be remembered with dignity, this is something that I didn't even dare to think about before, and future generations will also be proud and proud of today's scene.

The scene in front of him also shocked the Qiqian Miao Jun who was already a prisoner.

With the name of Miao Jun, but in fact there are very few real Miao people among them, probably only about one tenth.The other more than 6000 people were all Han Chinese who had been recruited by the Miao army along the way.For these people, there is no sense of belonging and loyalty at all. Originally, when they joined, they just wanted to fill their stomachs and live. Even if they were all in their 20s, in terms of size and strength If they are stronger than other young men, I am afraid that even if they want to join the Miao Army temporarily, they will not be given a chance.

It is said that the most important sign of the prosperity of the dynasty is the increase in population, especially after the resurgence 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 war-torn for a long time. There are still many middle-aged men like this, and these are also the reasons why Yang Chendong has taken a fancy to and deliberately walked out of the Beiming capital.The great man once said that it is easier to do things with more people. For Yang Chendong who wants to send the Han people to the top of the world, he urgently needs a high-quality population, and he cannot let it go.

Let's not talk about the physical conditions 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, even if they have only recently come into contact with the war, they have never seen a pig running, so it is possible that they have not eaten pork?When did you hear about someone treating dead soldiers so favorably?What kind of army is this? At this moment, everyone has a big question mark in their hearts.

In fact, not only the more than 6000 Han Chinese were surprised and questioned, even the [-] or so Miao soldiers were also stunned.

Due to geographical reasons, the Miao people have been entangled with the Han people for many years, and there are many intermarriages in private. It is true that there is me in me, and you in me. If you want to say who is the Miao people of pure blood, it seems to have been There is no way to verify it.

It is precisely because we are too close to the Han people that we have long been indistinguishable from each other.This time, if Yingzong Zhu Qizhen hadn't been in a feverish mood and wanted to levy heavy taxes in the southwest to support him to build a new army to fight Beiming, they would have been forced to survive, and they would not have been wooed by King Min They raised their troops suddenly.In the end, they didn't have any bad feelings towards Daming, it was just because the living conditions were too bad, they had no choice but to do it instead.

4 Chapter Forty

It’s just that no matter whether they are 100% Miao people in their bones or not, they usually rarely come into contact with wars. It’s just because they are Miao people that they are more valued and trusted by Miao Jinlong, and they are in a better position when fighting. That's all.But when it comes to knowledge, it is no different from other Ming people. It is like the scene in front of them, which also shocked them. Although a person's hands are tied, it does not prevent them from looking at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. Everything, look at what these mercenaries are doing.

Under the watchful eyes of more than 1 people, Yang Chendong finished his memorial speech.Then he took off his military cap and shouted to the audience, "Fire the gun and pay 3 minutes' silence to the dead comrades in arms."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chendong was the first to take the initiative to lower his head, followed by Humang, Yang Er and others beside him, then the regiment leader Luo Po, political commissar Kong Jie, and a group of Leng Feng, auxiliary soldiers and temporary assistants. Soldiers.

More than 7000 people bowed their heads in silence at the same time, paying tribute to the dead comrades. The huge scene and the serious environment shocked the [-] captives. At this moment, their hearts seemed to be deeply pierced by something, making them breathe involuntarily. felt a little difficult.

"ba ba ba"

Captain Qiu Wu of the first guard team and Captain Dao Xiao of the second guard team led a group of team members and started firing guns, sending off their comrades on the road to heaven.

Under the bursts of gunfire, especially the continuous firing of bullets, in this atmosphere, the seven thousand prisoners accepted a re-education process in their hearts.

"Come here, cremate the 63 martyrs, and then send their bones back to the hero monument in the city. From now on, they will be enshrined by the incense of future generations forever, and their names will be enshrined every moment. Hero list, for their descendants to look up to, so that the world will remember."

Under Yang Chendong's roar, piles of torches were lit, and 63 corpses were burned.I don't know if it's an illusion. At this moment, it seems that many people saw the breeze blowing above the burning corpses. It seems that the souls were really liberated, or went to heaven or reincarnated into a better world. went.

The memorial service is over, but the symbolic meaning is far from over.This is tantamount to a big lesson, and every step is deeply knocked on the hearts of everyone.At this moment, it seems that the onlookers are no longer afraid of death. What is there to fear when they think about it?Why is it not a kind of fate that soldiers die on the battlefield?

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

The memorial service was also a shock to the [-] captives. This kind of ceremony, which they had never seen or even heard of, deeply stimulated them.Commissar Kong Jie was keenly aware of something, and immediately asked Yang Chendong for instructions, trying to take this opportunity to recruit troops.After all, we are about to extend into the southwest. If we have the help of these local people, especially those Miao people, we will be able to do a lot of things with half the effort.

Yang Chendong originally had such a plan, and Kong Jie took the initiative to invite Ying, so there is no reason to disagree.Immediately waved his hand, indicating that as long as those who are innocent and not the kind of treacherous and evil people can consider absorbing them as temporary auxiliary soldiers, at the same time, they can also promise them that once they perform well, they will be rewarded with others. Temporary auxiliary soldiers have the same opportunity to compete.

Kong Jie, who had been doing ideological work, led the way. With the battalion instructors and company instructors as the backbone, he also mobilized some eloquent fighters to form teams one by one, went deep into the captured soldiers, and began to investigate the past of these people. Select the target that can be absorbed from it.

Under the strong psychological pressure, the Han people, who had no sense of belonging, quickly accepted the adaptation.Once the head is up, the next thing will be easy to handle. It didn't take long for the captive soldiers one after another to change their ways. Even some Miao people were persuaded.

Perhaps they knew from the very beginning that no matter who became the emperor and conquered the country, they probably didn't have much to do with them. Even so, they might as well follow the mercenaries in front of them.They've heard from those Leng Feng's auxiliary soldiers what kind of rich and beautiful life their families are living now.These people have never even heard of some of the things that came out of their mouths, but when they saw these people describing everything in a serious manner, and everyone said almost the same thing, they believed it.

Don't say that it is true in the first place, even if there are many people who tell lies, it will become true. It is not uncommon.

Of course, not everyone can be absorbed into temporary auxiliary soldiers.After investigation and encouragement to report and expose, some bad-hearted people were found. Among them were Miao people and Han people. When the city of Nanming was captured not long ago, they did a lot of bad things like burning, killing and looting.

Once such people are caught, Kong Jie will be sentenced according to the law according to the evil they have done.

In Chixian City, the relevant laws are being gradually improved, and there are also some regulations that explain what kind of crime a person will be executed and what kind of punishment.According to this request, it was applied to these villains. At present, more than 100 people have been sentenced to death, and more than 600 people have been sentenced to labor reform. The number of years varies.

Those sentenced to death were directly executed in the barracks. More than 100 swords fell, more than 100 heads fell to the ground, and more than 100 people died.

As for those who were reformed through labor, they were all escorted to Leizhou Mansion behind them. On the coastal border there, the Yang Navy had already sent ships waiting there. In addition to the more than 600 prisoners who did wrong things, there were more than 1000 Han or Miao people who were not qualified or could not figure it out, and did not want to join the temporary auxiliary army.

All these people will be sent to the small glass island, where they should serve their sentences and redeem their sins through labor.Others will also be placed into various units and factories that are needed as appropriate.

In the end, among the 5000 captives, only [-] were actually allowed to be added to the temporary auxiliary army.But even so, Yang Chendong was very satisfied with this result.After a battle is fought, lessons and experience have been gained, and the strength of the army has been strengthened and strengthened. No matter how you look at it, it is worthwhile.

Similarly, the 5000 people accepted were also very happy.Not to mention that everything they learned in the past few days made them feel good about the mercenaries, but the basic necessities of life have been greatly improved.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 25th year of Hongwu, the imperial court further ordered: It is strictly forbidden for common people, merchants, artisans, infantry, Yu Ding and handymen to wear boots. Only Pizza (Ge Weng) can be worn. Only in the northern regions where the weather is cold, it is allowed to use cowhide to sew boots directly, and offenders will be punished with death. Ordinary people mostly use straw sandals and Ge Weng, that is, ordinary shoes Add leggings (靿). There is no problem with walking in such shoes, but if you want to walk for a long time, it is very easy to go wrong. Many times when you travel far, you only need to bring several pairs of shoes. There is no guarantee that it will not be broken, and there is no guarantee that there will be no bare feet.)

Looking at what shoes the mercenaries are wearing.

Forget about the cloth shoes, the lowest ones are rubber shoes (the garment factory imitated the army rubber shoes provided by Yang Chendong, with people's seriousness at that time, and there is no possibility of laziness in the handwork, the firmness of such shoes is improved Quite a few), for the more powerful ones, like the elite Leng Feng who are all wearing high-waisted leather boots, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them, they dare to break through.
