Along with the launch of the new ship, there was also a transfer team that returned from India. Undoubtedly, the army of conquering the Great Victory in Edo and Yokohama, which had long been publicized among the people of Edo and Yokohama, was welcomed by many people.

　　 Compared with the small boat with only more than 300 tons, the new army of the three thousand passers-by team is much more important in the concept of Tokugawa Iasa and the veterans of the Mugakusho. So it is not only the infantry who followed the practice of Matsudai Qixuan who came in person, even the side user Oka Tadasho also came to reward the army on behalf of Tokugawa Iamatsu.

　　 After victory, rewards for meritorious deeds are always necessary. Besides, rewards for the British are given. The Tokugawa family will be able to be a good person once, so why not do it.

　　 But waiting for the one-fifth sergeant to disembark from the cruise ship, Qixuan Matsudaira, who counted on the side, looked a little bit crumbled. Before he came, he was mentally prepared. This is all due to war. Three thousand people may lose two or three hundred people.

　　 In the eyes of Songping Qixuan, who has a little feudal thought, a battle that loses one-tenth of the troops is already a terrific and earth-shattering battle. Of course, it doesn't count as the one who is chased and killed after defeat. Once defeated and chased by others, it is normal for the whole army to be wiped out.

　　Seiyin’s transfer team did not return a report of failure. Hidetoshi Jiang is the important official of the shogunate, how could he fool the veterans of the shogunate about this kind of thing. Moreover, if the battle is really defeated, the number of soldiers and horses cannot deceive people. It's impossible for you to make up the numbers by temporarily capturing strong men in India and enlisting in the army.

　　 But now is the time for celebration, Matsudaira Qixuan will not show it, and the change in his expression is only a glimpse at the Chuemon Gate behind him.

　　 "There are a lot less horses..." Chuemon also looked out.

　　 "It's more than a lot!" Songping Qixuan heard this, gnashing his teeth a bit.

　　The Chuanxi team is more expensive than his own lifeblood. He gave it to him by Ge Dechuan Jiaqing holding his hand before he died, so why not worry.

　　 "Be safe, don't worry, ask Taro Saemon the next time."

　　 Not to mention the two, they just greeted the soldiers of the training team, and did not mention the camp and return. After the rewards are issued and the numbers are counted, these soldiers will be able to get a month's leave. The vacation regulations that were hurriedly enacted that year have become a rule. The teams are divided into winter and summer vacations each year in rotation.

　　 In the count, Matsuhira is really annoyed. In India where 3,000 people followed Alcock, more than three hundred and sixty people died in battle or were wounded without being saved. If it's just that, then it's fine, it's still in an acceptable category, one-tenth.

　　 But in addition to this, there are more than two hundred and thirty injured and unable to continue serving. As soon as he came and went, this elite veteran of the training team lost five hundred to the point, which really made Songping Qixuan's heartache that he couldn't breathe. It's more uncomfortable than being dragged in the hands of his life.

What almost caused Songping to declare collapse is that because of dissatisfaction with India’s water and soil, or high temperature intolerance, as well as unclean food and other reasons, the non-combat attrition caused by illness, only counting the dead, is as high as 400 people. .

　　 I went to July and August, and lost more than 900!

　　 I cried. Matsudaira Qixuan really cried. These are all the veterans he has recruited one by one from Hachioji, from the stable bridge, from Yucheng, and trained one by one. I might have been sitting and drinking together last year, but this year I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and this person is gone.

　　 Speaking of this matter, Jiang Chuan Yingmin was almost in tears, and it was okay when he was in Kolkata at first. Because Calcutta is the capital of British India, the British have developed it very well. The barracks and towns are all handled well, so there are very few non-combat attritions. In addition, it was spring at that time, and India had not yet reached the extreme heat.

　　 After following Viscount Canning's attack on Delhi, non-combat attrition gradually appeared. After all, the water and food along the way can no longer be guaranteed. There were even guerrillas shooting black guns and arson all around.

　　 As for military doctors, what do you mean, they are very good at sawing thighs. There is a saying, don’t want a black British military doctor to saw a thigh, remove an arm or something, that is really a grip, not at all ambiguous. But for diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, leptospirosis, and encephalitis, military doctors have no good solutions.

　　 Once a soldier lay down, he basically carried it on his own. The human angel Nightingale nurse has just been withdrawn from the Crimea battlefield. She also pioneered the modern nursing career. Wanting to get her care in India is pure dreaming.

　　 And after a soldier is injured, because of India’s hot and humid climate, the wound is very susceptible to infection and inflammation. It is said that some people can see maggots in the wound two or three days after being injured. In that environment, it's basically just a three-point reduction if you are fateful, and you lose your soul if you lose your life.

　　Notice that, except for the 6,000 recruited for Alcock who are farmers, the rest of the training team are all from the Miao character swordsmen. They are all "good family sons", and there are so many in Japan. It is not a big deal to die one or two, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is as distressed as it has died too much.

　　 "Why are there so many deaths and injuries?" Songping Qixuan patted the seat, feeling helpless.

　　 "The times have changed..."

　　 Yingmin Jiang Chuan said this sentence bitterly, everyone knows that many of the Indian rebels were former British soldiers. They accepted the training of the British, and followed the British to fight everywhere, across the earth. This will be a native soldier in India, and it is the monopoly of the Kshatriya class. The people are not qualified to be soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is actually guaranteed to a certain extent.

　　 Soldiers have good combat effectiveness, and their weapons have naturally changed. It is true that many of the rebels used relatively old front-loaded muskets, such as the brown bass musket, but after seizing the British arsenals in Bangladesh and Delhi, these rebels also won a large number of Mini rifles.

　　As a cross-age work of the rifled rifle, the advantages of the Mini rifle will not be repeated. In the final analysis, one sentence is to kill people faster.

　　 Even the killing distance is much stronger than the previous brown bass. The accuracy is also greatly improved. The firepower of the unit increased, and the casualties were naturally huge.

　　 The previous clashes between the shogunate and the Anglo-French coalition forces and the battle to conquer Kamchatka were only a few thousand people. This time I went to India and directly tens of thousands of people engaged in a large-scale battle. The guns on both sides roared, and the infantry rushed from side to side. The soldiers trapped on the battlefield were no longer individuals, but war machines rolled over.

　　 Tell me, under such a situation, will the number of people killed and wounded increase exponentially?
