In this battle, Kong Guozhi, the general of the Southern Ganzhou Army, Ban Zhifu, the commander of the Han army under the Pingnan vassal, Song Rui, the general of Yingde, was captured, and Sun Yi, the deputy general of Nanxiong, was injured and captured. There were more than 40 generals and soldiers of the Green Camp, including more than 4,000 soldiers in the camp, and more than 3,000 civilians. The Han army under the vassals under Shang Zhixin only resisted symbolically when the Ming army naval landed, and surrendered to the navy, with a total of about 1,500 people.

Shao Jiugong led his men to clean up the battlefield. Whether the Taiping Army or the Qing Army were all carried out to treat them one by one. Of course, this treatment could only be done to the minor injured, but the seriously injured people with broken arms and legs could not be saved.

The medical camp established by Zhou Shixiang in the Taiping Army in the early days was not expanded when the army was formed in Xiangshan. In the Battle of Shenwan, the medical camp remained in Xiangshan City, so there were not many doctors in the army who knew medical skills, and some were just soldiers who were bandaged. Whether the injured soldiers could survive depends entirely on their personal fortunes.

Shao Jiugong found that when no one noticed the surrendered soldiers who had newly joined the Taiping Army would secretly explore the bodies of the Qing soldiers, and then put the gold, silver and jewelry they had obtained into his arms instead of handing over it. He reported the matter to Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Shixiang did not immediately order the battlefield military discipline rectification, but decided not to inquire about the matter for the time being. However, he decided to reorganize the army immediately after returning to Guangzhou, because the Taiping Army is too dangerous now.

There were more than 1,000 Han army and battalions captured in Guangzhou city, and more than 2,000 Han army recruited from Jingnan vassals. Today, the battle was 4,000 to 5,000. In addition, the two or three thousand Han army under Pingnan vassals and more than 2,000 soldiers under Hu Qili, and more than 10,000 of them. The Taiping Army only had more than 5,000 people invaded Guangzhou, and nearly half of them were newly surrendered Han army and battalions that were surrendered after the year. Therefore, it can be said that the Taiping Army has completely evolved into an army dominated by surrendered troops.

An anti-Qing army has become dominated by the Qing army, which is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.

In Zhou Shixiang's eyes, the loyalty of the surrendered soldiers was almost zero. The reason why they were willing to work for the Taiping Army was because their family was small and the Taiping Army was strong. If they could not win today's battle, or if there was a slight setback, Zhou Shixiang believed that these surrendered soldiers would be shaken.

If we had to consider the loyalty of these surrendered soldiers, Zhou Shixiang believed that Suna's Manzhou soldiers were undoubtedly the highest, followed by the Han army with family members, and then the Green Camp soldiers. However, the Green Camp soldiers with the lowest loyalty accounted for the majority.

Zhou Shixiang has not counted how much money he has, but he has carefully counted how many soldiers he has now.

There are more than 4,000 baggage and artillery battalions in Xiangshan, and more than 3,000 reserve barracks. In addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers in Guangzhou Tieyi’s hands, there are also two newly conquered battalions, and there are nearly 15,000 people here.

Zhou Shixiang brought more than 2,000 soldiers from Guangzhou, and Hu Qili had more than 2,000 soldiers. Today, the Han army and battalion soldiers captured together will not be less than 5,000. In addition, the civilians who were not released from transporting food and grass to the Qing army in the three routes, there are nearly 20,000 people here in Sanjiangkou.

Thirty-five thousand people are the most conservative figures that Zhou Shixiang has identified. This does not include the green camp surrendered soldiers who were doing bandits in the countryside under the banner of the Taiping Army, nor does it include the green camp soldiers who were still established in Wang Zhaoxing, Zhao Ziqiang, Hu Mingyi and others.

It took less than two years to go from dozens of men in Daqiao Mountain to tens of thousands of people. In the past two years, the Taiping Army has never really carried out reorganization and training. Whether it is a camp or a military force, it just simply promoted the veterans and expanded them step by step.

In terms of political and ideological work, Zhou Shixiang only arranged some military envoys and promoted the deeds of "Three Loyals in Lingnan" in the army, and there was no other action. This was due to the lack of a stable environment for the Taiping Army to carry out training.

Whether compared with later armies or with the army of this era, all the rules and regulations of the Taiping Army are extremely hasty. Everything is just to adapt to the battle that is about to be held.

This is an army that is constantly fighting, dying, and then expanding. This is an army based on continuous victory. The cohesion of people's hearts can only be reflected in some early personnel. As the snowball grows bigger and bigger, the core circle becomes smaller and smaller. Tens of thousands of people rely on this snowball, but they cannot truly become a force that can be trusted, can be used for great use, but they just grow stronger.

This power is so great that the head coach is panicked and afraid. This is the current situation of the Taiping Army.

After capturing Guangzhou and solving the Qing army at Sanjiangkou, Zhou Shixiang faced not only the conquest of prefectures and counties near Guangzhou, but how to truly build these tens of thousands of people into a force that is absolutely trustworthy.

Therefore, it is imperative to consolidate the army. No one, including the civilians, cannot be released. They must be included in the Taiping Army. On the one hand, they are afraid, and on the other hand, they must be used. This is not Zhou Shixiang's contradictory psychology, but is forced by reality.

Time is the biggest enemy of the Taiping Army. If history does not deviate, Sun Kewang now may have been on the eve of his defeat. Once the internal strife of Sun and Li came to a result, the Qing army stationed in Hunan and Sichuan would definitely go south to Yunnan immediately. This means that Zhou Shixiang will only have two or three months to complete the initial integration of his power in Guangdong.

Compared with expanding the territory and gathering strength in the army, it is definitely insignificant. Only with people have territory and strength can there be a future. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang would rather give Huizhou to Hu Qili, Zhaoqing to Chen Qice, and Shaozhou to Tang Sanshui, with the purpose of trusting time and energy to consolidate the army.

Now the Taiping Army is definitely no longer an anti-Qing force operating in a small area, no longer a force that can be used to transfer its forces by relying on a group of leaders, no longer a force that can come out to harass from time to time by hiding in a corner, but rather a force that will control and block the land of a province.

The purpose of reorganizing an army is not only to expand its strength and promote its subordinates on a large scale, but to digest these surrendered troops and gather these surrendered troops so that the Taiping Army can have a mobile force and can carry out a large-scale battle at any time.

The Taiping Army must have the power to launch a battle, and it must be a force that can maneuver long-distance long distances. This must be strictly hierarchical. The soldiers must listen to the generals and the generals. At the same time, they must have strict military disciplines and orders to be as good as mountains.
