The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

　　 "But I have a way." Just as Yakov Cherkaski was at a loss, his adjutant Gregory helped him solve problems.

　　 "What way?" Yakov Cherkaski asked loudly.

　　 "General, have you forgotten? Didn't we have a correctional camp here." Gregory smiled and leaned into Yakov Cherkaski's ear, and said his own way.

　　 It turned out that in the army of Tsarist Russia, there was an army composed of criminals.

　　 The disciplinary force generally adopts a battalion-level organization. Each battalion has about 800 personnel, and each company has about 150-200 personnel.

When 　　 is marching, the disciplinary battalions are often interspersed among the combat troops for surveillance by neighboring troops.

　　 In combat, this unit is often placed at the forefront, acting as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's ammunition and physical strength.

　　 For example, at the beginning of the Smolensk garrison, the army that buried the moat, except for the serf soldiers, was the soldiers of the punishment battalion.

　　 It is said that the Tatars were the first to use this method of warfare. When they fight against the armies of various countries and nations, they often let guilty prisoners act as death squads. If the prisoners fight bravely and make meritorious battles, they will be pardoned. When the Tatar army marched west, this system was also brought to the Ross area.

　　 The punishment camps in Tsarist Russia also have incentives. But compared to the Tatars, the prisoners want freedom, but the conditions are much more demanding. Few people can survive. Therefore, in order to inspire these people who are almost mortal, the Tsarist Russian army often acquiesced to let these criminals revel in a day after they captured a city.

But this time Smolensk surrendered, and as a famous city in Eastern Europe, Smolensk’s political significance is too great, so neither Prince Alexei nor General Yakov Cherkaski would not. Allow anyone to destroy the city.

The 　　ke punishment camp suffered heavy losses during the months of siege. The criminals in the camp had long wanted to vent.

Gregory’s method is that since the mercenary group and their family members are arranged outside the city, they can acquiesce or even imply that the disciplinary battalion robs the mercenary corps, and use the hand of the disciplinary battalion to eliminate the mercenaries, and then Yakov Cherkas General Ji will lead the troops to quell the chaos in due course.

　　 Of course, the only problem with this method is that someone will definitely accuse the camp as General Yakov’s army afterwards and hold the army responsible for their atrocities.

　　 This sinister and vicious idea fits Yakov Cherkasky's mind perfectly. As for the so-called accusations, Yakov didn't mind at all-what if someone accuses them? When the time comes, he will destroy the punishment camp by himself, so that even if Prince Alexei knows, he can't say anything.

The more Yakov thought about it, the more reasonable he became. He was radiant and couldn't help but praise Gregory: "Gregory, if you were not in a human skin, I would really think that you are Satan himself. Why are you so bad? idea."

When Gregory heard that General Yakov Cherkaski was so satisfied with his idea, he was delighted that Di knelt at the feet of Yakov Cherkaski, hugged the general’s legs and said, "I What kind of Satan, I'm just your most humble servant general!"

　　 One master and one servant was a little confused again.

　　 "Well, you go find someone to do this. No, I don't worry about others, you can do it yourself." Yakov Cherkas stood up and ordered Gregory.

　　 "I will go personally!" Gregory was taken aback, but there was...

"What's the matter? Are you unwilling to go?" Yakov Cherkaski's eyes changed a bit when he looked at Gregory. The most unseen thing about this man is that someone disobeys his orders and disobeys himself. .

　　 "Yes, my master." Gregory replied, he also knew the character of General Yakov. But immediately, he hesitated again.

　　 "Is there anything else?" Yakov Cherkaski asked impatiently when Gregory hadn't moved for a long time.

　　 "Master, your humble servant begs you to be a guard for me. You know that group of criminals..."

　　 "It turns out that you are afraid of going to the punishment camp alone." General Yakov looked up and down at Gregory, and he understood.

　　 The fact is true. Those who will be locked up in the punishment camp are desperadoes. These people only recognize fists. Although Gregory had a stomach of bad water, he was as thin as a monkey. If he enters the punishment camp alone, he might be smashed into flesh before he can speak.

　　 "Well, I will send Yelishei to accompany you." Yakov Cherkaski said, he didn't want his "smart" adjutant to be gone forever.

　　 "Yelisey, come in." Yakov Cherkaski yelled to the outside.

　　 Immediately, a young man wearing a half breastplate walked in.

　　 This person is Yelishei, the adjutant of the original Prince Alexei. Since that major event, Yelishei has completely lost the trust of the prince, and the post of adjutant is also removed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the fact that he can't drink has spread throughout the barracks, which is addicted to alcohol. The fateful Tsarist Russian army has become a laughing stock. No way, Yelishei had no choice but to resign and left Prince Alexei's army. Relying on his father's recommendation letter, Yelisei reluctantly found another position with Yakov Cherkaski. Because of his quirk of not drinking, Yakov arranged for him to be a guard.

　　 "Yelisey, you accompany Adjutant Gregory to the punishment camp." General Yakov Cherkaski said to Yelishei.

　　 "Okay, General," Yelisei said.

　　 Yakov Cherkaski waved his hand, indicating that the two could go out.

　　 Yelishei and Gregory withdrew from the general's office.

　　 "Remember, you have to protect me like your eyeballs. Understand?" After going out, Gregory added another sentence to Yelishei, as if he was afraid to go there.

　　 Yelishey glanced at Gregory. In front of the tall Yelishei, Gregory looked like a monkey.

　　 Soon, Gregory also discovered this. He stepped back, then gave Yelishei a vicious look.

　　 "What do you look at, how tall is it! It's not just a ‘gatekeeper’."

　　 Yelishei is naturally not a gatekeeper, but Gregory deliberately belittle Yelishei in order to highlight his superiority.

　　 "I'm an adjutant, understand? The general's adjutant." Gregor shouted with a drake voice. Then he glanced at the office door with a guilty conscience and made sure that he had not quarreled General Yakov.

　　 Seeing Gregory behaved like this, Yelishey wanted to laugh. He tried hard not to make himself laugh. Then he pretended to be serious and said, "Yes, Adjutant Gregorian."
