I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After rushing to the city wall, Wu Jun found that the enemy's resistance was much weaker than expected.

While the small number of the Eight Banners were desperately resisting, many more were fleeing and surrendering.

The two thousand and eight banner soldiers alone, and the Eight Banner soldiers who had almost no command, could not stop the Wu army's division of tigers and wolves.

The death squads rushed forward, and the grenadiers followed closely behind the death squads. As long as they encountered strong resistance, the grenadiers would pass by with a grenade.

Sometimes if the grenadier's control is not very good, it will accidentally injure the members of the death squad.

However, those death squads would not refuse the Grenadiers to follow and cooperate because of this. Having the Grenadiers help them tackle tough problems can help them solve a lot of trouble and face a lot less danger.

Facing the combination of death squads and grenadiers, the soldiers of the Qing army who were still resisting were caught in a dilemma.

Gathering together to resist is easy to be bombed, and if you spread out, you have to face the death squads that are much larger than your own.

After several confrontations, the Qing army began to completely rout.

The next step is to clean up the mess. Wu Jun is also quite skilled at this job. After more than an hour of cleaning, they have completely controlled Anqing City.

At the gate of the city, some people in the city were crying and searching for the bodies of their relatives.

Among those defenders, some were natives of Anqing, and some were strong men who were temporarily arrested to do odd jobs. Among these people, some unlucky ones have already died in battle.

In order to appease the people in the city, Wu Jun allowed the people in the city to claim the body.

The Chinese people pay attention to the safety of being buried in the earth, and pay attention to entering the ancestral graves. Allowing people to come and collect the bodies of their relatives can effectively appease the emotions of the people in the city.

As for the unclaimed corpses, they were thrown into carriages and dragged to the suburbs for burial.

In this era, the way to deal with corpses is almost always burial. Although cremation can prevent the plague more effectively, it is not accepted by people. Most people think that cremation is disrespectful to the corpse.

Also, cremation is more difficult and troublesome than burial.

Therefore, Wu Jun also used burial when disposing of corpses.

This is not only the case with the corpses of the enemy, but also with the corpses of your own soldiers.

If your own soldiers died in battle close to their hometowns, the bodies would be transported to the homes of the soldiers' relatives.

And like now dying in a distant battle, it is generally concentrated to find a geomantic treasure, bury them collectively, and then erect a monument to register and commemorate.

There is no way to do this. With the transportation capacity of this era, if you want to transport the corpse back to your hometown thousands of miles away, even if you don’t consider the cost and time, the corpse will definitely rot on the road.

The siege was relatively smooth this time, and the Wu army only killed more than 600 people.

The soldiers were carried to carriages, while the rest of the resting soldiers chatted.

"Most of the dead are death squads and the 412th regiment with swords and shields. It's better to be a sniper. These guys have never died since they were formed."

A veteran sighed while wiping his firearm.

"You're not talking nonsense. Who doesn't want to be a sniper? You have high military pay and good weapons. You don't have to rush to the front in battle, you can just hide in the back and put a cold shot. If there is a position for a sniper company, I would not be the squad leader. "

A squad leader followed and complained. Although his military salary is similar to that of a sniper, it is safe to be a sniper.

When attacking, the snipers do not have to rush in front, and there is almost no danger.

The last time I encountered an ambush, those snipers were also guarded in the middle, and the security was several times higher than that of other arms.

In short, from the establishment of the sniper company to the present, they have never heard of anyone being killed in the sniper company, and at most a few people were slightly injured, and it was all due to accidents.

No soldier would want such a safe location.

What's more, the sniper company can shoot and kill officers in every battle, and every time they can get a reward for meritorious service. If luck like Yan Chonglou shoots a Manchu prince, there will be hundreds of taels of silver alone.

This is an unimaginable wealth for a soldier.

It is a pity that the sniper company has not expanded its recruitment. It used to be 200 people, but now it is still 200 people. Moreover, there are also a hundred of them who are alternate gunmen, and there are no guns in their hands.

It is said that the weapon workshop can't make that kind of rifled gun, so there is no way to expand the recruitment.

This made the other soldiers half-dead, and if they had nothing to do, they would scold the Weapons Workshop.

If the Arsenal can manufacture more advanced weapons, their lives will be more guaranteed.

"It's not your turn to have a position. If you can join the sniper company, you must have good eyes. Wang Dayan, you have no hope of cross-eyed. Who let you peek at the widow's bath when you were young."

Another soldier sneered.

"Fart, you just watched the widow take a bath. I'm born, not cross-eyed. My eyes are good, but the people above don't give me a chance. If they give me a chance to test, I will definitely be better than Those guys in the Sniper Company were accurate."

Wang Dayan expressed dissatisfaction.

"We don't need to count on the sniper company. We can wait a little longer. When the next batch of flintlock guns arrives, we can also change the equipment, and then the safety will be much higher."

The flintlock army also often suffers casualties, but its damage rate has always been lower than that of the fire gun army, and it is also the arms they yearn for.

And worse than the fire gun troops are the cold weapon troops. Every time the ants attack the city, the cold weapon troops are the ones who suffer the most casualties. They are more powerful than the fire gun troops.

awful.

Worse than the cold weapon troops are the death squads and the grenadiers. Grenadiers have almost no ability to protect themselves, and they need to rush forward to kill the enemy.

Therefore, the loss rate of the grenadier has always been quite high, second only to the death squad.

However, the grenadiers were well paid, with good welfare and often had meat to eat.

The worst is the death squad. They have the lowest pay, the highest death rate, and the worst treatment.

However, the soldiers of the Wu army would not sympathize with the people in the death squads, because they were basically surrendered soldiers with bad deeds or stubborn soldiers, as well as soldiers who committed crimes.

It was Wu Changqing's grace that these people who were going to be beheaded could enter the death squad and get a chance to live.

Moreover, serving in the death squad for three months can also be exonerated, and can leave the death squad and join other arms.

This is equivalent to giving them a chance of life. At present, some of the earliest death squad soldiers have been freed.

"It's changing. You still have to learn skills when you're a soldier these days."

A veteran said with emotion that he has been a soldier for more than ten years. From the northwest to the Kanto, and then to the south of the Yangtze River, he has been running around all his life, dancing with death.

In the past ten years, he had been learning life-saving skills, because for an ordinary soldier, there was not much knowledge and expertise that they needed to master.

It was not until he surrendered to the Wu army that he discovered that there was a huge gap between the learned and skilled soldiers and the uneducated soldiers.

Those with knowledge all went to work as artillerymen, and those with special skills also went to work as various special arms. And those arms are often both safe and highly paid.

"Yeah, when I recognize all the characters and learn arithmetic, I will also apply to be an artilleryman."

said another soldier.

At present, among the Wu army, literacy training is carried out when not fighting. Soldiers can choose to study or not study voluntarily.

Some people with excellent academic performance already have a better future, which makes many ordinary soldiers envious and jealous. And this has also stimulated the soldiers' motivation to learn. Many soldiers now write and draw on the ground when they are resting to review their knowledge.

Interest is always the biggest source of motivation.
