It's just that whether they are 100% Miao people or not, they rarely come into contact with war at ordinary times. It's just that they are more valued and believed by Miao Jinlong because they are Miao people, and they are in a better position when fighting. However, when it comes to insight, it is no different from other Ming people. It is like a scene in front of them, which also shocked them. Although a person's hands are bound, it does not prevent them from looking at all these in front of them and what these mercenaries are doing.
Under the gaze of more than 10000 people, Yang Chendong finished his memorial speech. Then he took off his hat and shouted to the whole audience, "fire a gun and mourn for the dead comrades in arms for three minutes."
After that, Yang Chendong took the initiative to lower his head, followed by Hu Mang and Yang Er around him, followed by leader Luo Po, political commissar Kong Jie and a group of cold front, auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers.
At the same time, more than 7000 people bowed their heads in silence and paid tribute to their dead comrades in arms. The vastness of the scene and the seriousness of the environment immediately shocked 7000 prisoners. At the moment, their hearts seemed to be deeply pierced by something, which made them feel some difficulties in breathing and breathing involuntarily.
"BAM BAM..."
Captain Qiu Wu of the first guard and captain Dao Xiao of the second guard started firing guns with a group of members to see off their comrades on the road to heaven.
Under the bursts of gunfire, especially the continuous firing of bullets, in this atmosphere, 7000 prisoners received a process of re education in the bottom of their hearts.
"Come and cremate the 63 martyrs, and then send their bones back to the hero monument in the city. In the future, they will always be worshipped by future generations, and their names will be engraved on the hero list one by one for their future generations to look forward to and remember."
Under the roar of Yang Chendong, piles of torches were lit and 63 bodies were burned. I don't know if it's an illusion. At this moment, it seems that many people see bursts of breeze blowing over these burning bodies. It seems that the soul is really liberated, or goes to heaven or reincarnated into a better world.
The memorial service is over, but the significance of this sign is far from over. This is a big lesson, and every step is deeply sounded in everyone's mind. At this moment, it seems that the onlookers are no longer afraid of death. When they want to come, they have some sustenance for their soul after death. What else is terrible? Why is it not a fate for soldiers to die on the battlefield?
On the contrary, if you don't die, can you survive? Doesn't that mean there will be more good days waiting for you in the future. Even if it is dead, the family has something to rely on. What's more, the probability of surviving is still very high. For a time, all the soldiers were not afraid of death. The general wanted to make contributions, and the morale of the whole army became even higher at this moment.
The memorial service was also a shock to 7000 prisoners. They were deeply stimulated by the ceremony they had never seen or even heard of. Commissar Kong Jie was acutely aware of something and immediately asked Yang Chendong for instructions. He wanted to take this opportunity to recruit soldiers. After all, we have to reach into the southwest. If these locals, especially those Miao people, help us, I'm afraid we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Yang Chendong had such a plan, and Kong Jie volunteered. There is no reason to disagree. At present, with a big hand, it means that as long as the innocent are not the kind of traitors and evil people, they can consider absorbing them first and become temporary auxiliary soldiers. At the same time, they can also promise that once they perform well, they will get the same competition opportunities as other temporary auxiliary soldiers.
Kong Jie, who had been doing ideological work, took the order. At present, with camp instructors and even instructors as the backbone, he dispatched some eloquent soldiers to form groups, went deep into the captured soldiers, began to investigate their past, and screened out targets that could be absorbed.
Under the strong offensive, the Han people who had no sense of belonging soon accepted the adaptation. After getting started, the next thing was easy to do. Before long, one after another prisoners began to change their strings and flags. Even some Miao people were persuaded.
Perhaps they knew from the beginning that no matter who became the emperor and laid the country, it had nothing to do with them. That is, they might as well follow the mercenaries in front of them. They listened to those cold front auxiliary soldiers who said what kind of rich and beautiful life their families are living now. These people haven't even heard of the things they say, but when they see these people seriously describe everything and everyone says almost the same, they believe it.
It is not uncommon to say that what is true is false. If more people say it, it will come true.
Of course, not everyone can be absorbed into the temporary auxiliary. After investigation and encouragement to report, some people with bad temper were found, including Miao people and Han people. When they captured the city of Nanming not long ago, they did the bad things of burning, killing and looting.
Once such people are found out, Kong Jie will be sentenced according to law according to the evil they have done.
In the city of chixian, the relevant laws are being gradually improved, and there are also some provisions that explain what kind of crime a person commits and what kind of punishment he should be executed. According to this requirement, it is applied to these villains. At present, more than 100 people have been sentenced to death, and more than 600 people have been sentenced to reform through labor for varying years.
Those who received the death penalty were directly executed in the military camp. More than 100 knives fell, more than 100 heads fell to the ground, and more than 100 people died.
As for the reform through labor, all of them were escorted to Leizhou Prefecture behind them. On the coastline there, the Yang navy has sent ships to wait there. They sent weapons and ammunition from many Arsenal. In addition to these more than 600 prisoners who have done wrong, others are unqualified or can't think of it, More than 1000 Han or Miao people who do not want to join the temporary auxiliary soldiers.
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 as appropriate.
Finally, of the 7000 prisoners, only 5000 were allowed to join the temporary auxiliary forces. But even so, this result has made Yang Chendong very satisfied. Once a war is fought, we can learn lessons and experience, and the strength of the army has been strengthened and expanded. It is worth it anyway.
Similarly, the 5000 people who were accepted were very happy. Not to mention what they have learned in the past few days, they are full of good feelings for mercenaries. They have made great improvements in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Just take it out casually. The shoes they usually wear are straw sandals. (in the Ming Dynasty, only officials and rich families could wear soap boots or long boots. In the 25th year of Hongwu, the imperial court further ordered that ordinary people, merchants, craftsmen, infantry, Yu Ding and miscellaneous workers should not wear boots, but only pizha (GE Weng) , only in the cold northern areas, it is allowed to use leather straight sewn boots, and those who violate them will be sentenced to death. Most ordinary people mainly use straw sandals and leather Weng, that is, ordinary shoes with leggings There is no problem walking with such shoes, but if you want to walk for a long time, it is very easy to have problems. Many times when you go far, you just bring several pairs of shoes, which does not guarantee that they will not break down or that there will be no barefoot.)
Looking at what shoes mercenaries are wearing.
All cloth shoes are counted, and the lowest ones are rubber shoes (the garment factory imitated them according to the military rubber shoes provided by Yang Chendong. With the seriousness of people at that time and the possibility of laziness in manual work, the firmness of such shoes has been improved a lot). In the more powerful, it is like the elite cold front are wearing high waist leather boots, There is a sea of swords and flames ahead. I dare to break through.
Once you join the temporary auxiliary, you can immediately get two pairs of rubber shoes of the same size as your feet and a set of very wear-resistant green training clothes without military rank. Based on this, you don't know how many people have attracted.
If the people are rich and used to a stable life, it will be difficult for someone to rebel.
Speaking back, speaking of lessons and experience, Yang Chendong saw his shortcomings after a cold weapon battle. That is, when the weapons used by everyone are not very different, even if you are fully prepared, there will be casualties on the battlefield. How to avoid such things has become a problem that Yang Chendong needs to seriously consider.
We called Luo Po, head of the second Lengfeng regiment, and LV Zhuo, head of the auxiliary regiment. After some discussion, we finally decided that in the future, but when there is a war, all Lengfeng don't need to fight with any cold weapons, just use the 95 style to fight with an overwhelming advantage (except in special circumstances); As for the auxiliary soldiers, one Bayi bar is allocated to every three people in peacetime, and the other two cooperate with Qiang · crossbow (one in wartime). In short, they save themselves on the battlefield and kill the enemy to the greatest extent.
As for temporary auxiliary soldiers, their loyalty needs to be tested and their strength needs to be confirmed. They can only send some steel knives and long guns. Of course, even if the quality of these steel knives is different from that of other Ming army, they should also be hard. Even when cutting, it is possible to cut the other party's broadsword in two to gain an advantage.
Even if it is a battlefield, there is no undead. Temporary auxiliary soldiers are big fish who want to jump over the gate. Only when you fully show your advantages and really get everyone's recognition can you complete the carp jumping over the dragon's gate, become a formal auxiliary soldier and enjoy the qualification of using advanced fire guns.
