The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

"I'll give you two choices. One is to surrender to our unit, and then study in the "general officer training class" of our unit. When the study period is over, you will be awarded a military position based on your academic performance and serve our unit.

At the same time, our Ministry will also negotiate with Li Zicheng and try our best to get your family back.

Secondly, if they are unwilling to surrender, they can only be punished with hard labor for at least three years. But if you perform well at work, your sentence can be reduced.

You don’t need to rush to answer. You can consider it for a few days before making a choice. Zhou Xing took them down and held them in solitary confinement. "

"Yes."

Zhou Xing responded and led a group of Tiger Guards to take the four people away.

Liu Sheng held the beard on his chin and pondered.

At present, the data on casualties and seizures of both sides in this battle are still being tallied and have not been reported.

But the number of prisoners was obvious.

After the more than 10,000 intruders retreating on the central line saw Li Zicheng fleeing with thousands of cavalry, many of them knelt down and surrendered amidst the shouts of "surrender without killing" by the Yibu rebels and became prisoners.

In addition, Shen Wandeng just used the intercom to report that more than 10,000 infantrymen from Luo Rucai's troops were left at Zhengwan downstream.

Most of these people also became prisoners of the Wei tribe.

As both rebels, it was easier for the Wei tribe to absorb the prisoners of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai than to absorb the prisoners of the official army.

Of course, Liu Sheng was not prepared to directly integrate the prisoners into the army - what he was thinking about now was how to absorb these prisoners.

First of all, we must follow the rules of the Ministry of Agriculture and weed out those who are too old or too young, as well as those who are weak or injured, and arrange to settle in the fields.

Thirdly, by letting these prisoners do labor for one to several months, their character can be screened, their bodies can be recuperated, and their will can be sharpened.

Finally, those who meet the recruitment requirements of the Weibei are selected from them, and the outstanding ones are directly incorporated into the standing army, while the poor ones are incorporated into the garrison.

As for those who do not meet the recruitment requirements of the Kuaibu, they are mainly arranged to settle in the fields.

Of course, if anyone disobeys discipline and causes trouble, he will be killed and punished if he deserves it, and he will not be merciful!

Similar arrangements were made for those captured generals who were willing to surrender to the Wei tribe. It's just that the labor service was changed to studying in the "general officer training class".

During their studies, their status is equivalent to that of junior officers, and they will definitely be discriminated against by a few generals. At the same time, they will also be responsible for some miscellaneous tasks in the military.

Not everyone can endure this process, and if you have a bad character, it will be easily exposed.

Of course, Liu Sheng would not let the instructors of the training class deliberately bully or suppress them. At least on the surface, he would treat them equally with other officers from the Kuei Department who came for training.

The training course for general officers lasts one month. If you fail to graduate, you can take up to three consecutive courses.

Mainly teaches the army's military system, discipline, combat ideas, various tactics, as well as the use of various weapons and arms, analysis of combat cases, etc.

The graduation examination is also based on these contents.

However, no matter how excellent the graduation results are, the highest rank will be awarded to the rank of major, with actual battalion-level military positions.

If you can't graduate, the most you can do is become a captain.

This is because at present, grassroots officers (team, division, and corps) of the Yibu can be promoted from privates, but if you want to be promoted to the sentinel level or above, in addition to sufficient merit, you also need to graduate from this "general officer training class."

Liu Sheng believes that this system can not only select generals who meet the needs of the army without burying talents, but also has the function of cultivating generals...

Because Li Chuang's troops were mainly cavalry who escaped, while Luo Rucai burned down the pontoon bridge and cut off its tail to survive. Considering the limited strength of the troops, Liu Sheng on both sides did not send troops to pursue them.

In this way, there will be enough manpower to clean the battlefield, and the post-war statistics will be fast.

After lunch, several post-war statistical reports were delivered to Liu Sheng's account.

The most intense part of this battle was the ten minutes or so when the elite soldiers and cavalry of the Chuang Army were in close combat with the Yibu forwards and guards.

Because the Yibu had an absolute superiority in firepower, the casualties were not too many.

The standing army suffered 327 casualties and 185 serious injuries. It is difficult to count minor injuries.

A total of 149 people of the Huben Guards and Shengjie Guards of the Guards were killed and 80 were seriously injured.

Ninety-eight of the Knights were killed and 98 seriously wounded.

The total battle losses of the Kuei tribe were: 512 people in the standing army and 360 people in the Guards.

Considering that the actual close combat lasted only a short time, the number of battle losses was not small.

It can only be said that Li Chuang's cavalry and elite soldiers were selected and tempered in many bloody battles. Even though the equipment gap was quite large, they still caused some casualties to the Yibu rebels.

Of course, compared with the casualties of the Chuang army, the battle losses of the Weibei were nothing.

According to the corpses cleared from the battlefield, more than 13,000 invaders were killed in this battle!

There were more than 5,000 wounded soldiers taken in and treated by the Wei tribe!

These are basically not serious injuries. Regardless of whether they will be disabled after treatment, at least one life can be saved.

There were many serious injuries that could not be cured by law, and Min Yong could only give them a good time when clearing the battlefield.

After all, the medical supplies of the Ministry of Health are also limited, and they should not be wasted on seriously injured prisoners who cannot be treated well.

According to preliminary understanding, most of the dead and wounded soldiers were recruits from the Breaking Army. After all, more than 10,000 new soldiers of the Breakthrough Army charged forward during the war and served as cannon fodder.

In addition, more than 700 cavalrymen and more than 20,000 infantrymen were captured!

More than 10,000 of them were "elite" infantry, and only a few thousand were captured by new recruits.

In addition, more than 800 war horses, draft horses (bad horses), and more than 1,000 mules were seized!

In addition, more than 3,000 stones of grain were seized, and materials such as vehicle frames and soldiers' armor were incalculable.

On the Zhengwan side, Luo Rucai's soldiers were basically trampled on each other or drowned. It is difficult to count, and very few were killed by the cavalry led by Shen Wandeng.

As for the captured infantry of Luo Rucai, there were more than 15,000 people!

In other words, the Wei tribe captured more than 37,000 people in this battle!

Fortunately, the Ministry of Education has rich experience in managing refugees, which can be applied to the management of prisoners. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to handle tens of thousands more prisoners at once.

In ancient times, the simplest way was to kill prisoners, and the most ambitious way was to immediately transform them all into one's own troops.

Neither of these two extreme approaches was suitable for Weibu, so Liu Sheng followed what he had thought before.

First, all the captured generals, including captains and above and middle-level guerrillas and below, were picked out and sent directly to the transport team to take them back to Biyang, and then deal with them after the Nanyang War was over.

The remaining prisoners of the invading army did hard labor in Xinye for at least a month, taking advantage of the severe drought to dredge ditches and rivers, build weirs, reservoirs, and even farm...

Yu Hongyu had just been thrown into the prisoner camp and was very scared.

Because he heard that any army may kill prisoners, especially when there are too many prisoners.

This time, there seemed to be quite a lot of prisoners in the Wei tribe.

But one thing after another made Yu Hongyu gradually feel relieved.

The first was to divide the camps into camps. From the previous camp of several thousand people to one camp of 500 people.

During this process, officers above the captain level were selected and said to be sent to Biyang for detention.
