18th century total war

Chapter 14 Phase II Raw Materials
After Joseph and his subordinate minions were all purged, the town of Charles fell completely under Li Wei's control, because Li Wei exercised military control over the entire Charles family territory in the name of countering the rebellion!

In this battle, no one in the frontline infantry regiment was killed, and only a few people were slightly injured, which can be described as a complete victory.

After all, the real battle between the two sides only took a few minutes. The main force of the rebel army headed by Borza rushed forward, and Li Wei's first-line infantry regiment was responsible for shooting and killing people...

The first-line infantry regiment, which was on the defensive, had no unlucky shots under the casual marksmanship of the mob, and the wounded all appeared while chasing and suppressing the rout.

Even in the final encirclement and suppression of the rebel army led by Bolcha, everyone shot at each other from a long distance, completely emboldened by the sound.

The purpose of the soldiers of the first-line infantry regiment was to drag Bolcha and his party. After the first-line infantry regiment completed the encirclement, Bolcha and his party quickly lost their fighting spirit under the shout of surrendering their guns and raised their hands to surrender.

As a result, most of the people led by Bolcha became prisoners except for a few who escaped before the encirclement was closed.

These people have completed most of the number of people required for the second training period!
In fact, not many of the over 2000 rioting farmers who were defeated were caught because they ran fast.

[Congratulations to the host for defeating thousands of rabble for the first time with fewer victories and more gains, and gained 1 point of glory.

This reward is the first win reward, the same record will only be accumulated, and no reward will be provided directly. 】

"Hehe, it's the reward for the first victory again. It seems that the rabble composed of farmers is very low in the evaluation of the total war system. If they are defeated, they can only be counted as cumulative rewards, and they don't even meet the reward standard of 1 point of glory.

It is estimated that this time I still took advantage of winning more with less. If the number of people is equal, I will not even get the reward for the first victory.

Alas, if you want to get a lot of glory points, you still have to attack the regular army or the enemy whose combat power is comparable to the regular army.

However, with the spread of the ideas of the French Revolution, the national consciousness of France will inevitably awaken, and by that time, there will be passionate young people awakened by nationalism everywhere in France.

The morale of this kind of army formed under the influence of patriotism and extreme nationalism will definitely be terribly high, and the evaluation in the total war system will not be too low.

Perhaps, this French Revolution is not a bad thing for me. "

Li Wei came to the window while thinking, looking at the bonfire of corpses that had already been burning in the town square!
This is a deterrent, but also a warning, letting the residents of Charles Town know that the end of betraying him is death!

If it weren't for this, Levi wouldn't have to waste time and effort dragging all the corpses to the town square for centralized burning, and let the residents of Charles town watch.

Li Wei's implementation of military control greatly made up for the power vacuum brought about by the purge of Joseph and his party.

The basic operation of Charles town and surrounding villages is guaranteed.

At this time, as the pursuit gradually came to an end, the labor agency in Charles Town became stronger and stronger.

Li Wei only promised those rioting farmers not to kill them, but he never said that he would let them go!
A large piece of fertile land confiscated due to the rebellion was investigated and measured, and then belonged to the labor agency!

The farmers in the labor office can't do anything else, but farming is definitely their old profession.

This time, Li Wei did not send anyone to raid the villages in the Charles family territory. Bolcha’s previous contact was the best screening machine. Almost all men who were dissatisfied with Li Wei and bold joined the rebel army. Those who are either old, young, women and children are "honest people" who dare not participate in the rebellion.

Naturally, Li Wei would not do anything to these 'obedient citizens'. The villages in Charles's territory had suffered a serious loss of labor due to the rebellion. If they sent troops to sweep them again, they would be completely reduced to nothing!

You can't expect a group of old people, women and children to farm the land...

Fortunately, the residents of Charles Town were not affected too much, and the families of the officials who were purged were also kept in the dark. They really thought that the pillars of their families were killed by rioting farmers!
Li Wei sent someone to fake the scene of a group of rioting farmers sneaking up. Although it was rough, it was more than enough to fool a group of detectives and laymen.

In this era of underdeveloped communication, it is not too easy for those in power to cover up the facts and manipulate public opinion. Not to mention that this is still under military control. He was arrested for collaborating with the enemy.

If you are lucky, you will be sent to a labor agency, and if you are not lucky, you will simply disappear.

On the third day since the rebellion was quelled, Borza and a few friends sat listlessly on the dirt land of a farm, surrounded by captive farmers who were driven over by the line infantry and chatted in groups of three or four.

These people have no hope at this time, except for resignation, the rest is numbness.

Just to survive!

Including Borcha, they no longer had any extravagant ambitions. After fighting the first-line infantry regiment, Bolcha fully understood the gulf-like gap between the peasant uprising army and the regular army.

In fact, except for the fearless courage, the first-line infantry regiments have no other combat qualities that meet the standards of the European regular army. When they encounter the real French regular army, they basically belong to the kind of recruits who cannot shoot at each other or fight with bayonets. force.

Of course, the fact that you are not afraid of death alone is also terrifying, enough to ensure that these basic line infantry will face off against some regular troops with unstable morale.

This is also something that can't be helped. One month of training time, even if the total war system activates the accelerated training special effect, it is impossible to train a real line infantry.

You know, the elite line infantry in Europe are often troops that have been trained for several years!

Even in times of war, recruits must participate in training for at least three months, otherwise they will not be able to be placed in the queue.

The first line of infantry regiments seemed to be well-disciplined, but they were actually based on an inexplicable fanaticism towards Li Wei. If the formation really met the standard, how could it be possible that the simple three-stage shooting could not be seamlessly connected?
Of course, the current front-line infantry is enough to deal with the peasant rebels and even some militia units.

Rapid whistles suddenly sounded in the farm, and groups of line infantry, led by officers, began to drive these loose prisoners of war into dense square formations.

After Borza and the others stood in an uneven formation, a middle-aged man wearing an officer's sailing cap with a bright feather pinned to it, accompanied by several officers, came to the front of the formation to temporarily set up wooden platform.

The entire phalanx is made up of ten small phalanxes, each with 100 people, adding up to exactly 1000 people!

They are the 'raw materials' selected by Levi for the second training session.
