The Shang State began to recruit soldiers, which came right after the imperial edict, and was also issued directly by Li Xian.
But this time the conscription order was very special. The conscription plan of Shang State was not just to recruit cannon fodder. Shang State had robots, so it was not short of cannon fodder; what Shang State lacked was always elite troops. Too much cannon fodder would lower morale. Therefore, the recruitment target was a bit messy:
Engineer? Yes!
Mechanical maintenance master? Welcome, welcome.
Artists? Yes!
If you can cheat... you also need to. However, you should go to the police station for two days of education. It is wrong to cheat your own people. If you want to cheat, you should cheat others. If you do that, you will get military rewards.
Can you play online games? Not bad, go to the remote control department for further study. Young man, I am optimistic about you.
In addition, those who practice special skills, those who are from the demon tribe, the sea tribe, and even those from the Nine Lands, Lihuo Heaven, etc., as long as they are willing to sign up and pass the basic assessment, all will be accepted.
However, the conscription arrangements this time are not unified. Some of the more reliable ones, especially those with citizenship of the superior country, will be organized separately to form a special corps, and will be trained by elite officers drawn from the military.
There were also some demon tribes, people from Lihuotian, the Nine Lands, etc. These people were organized separately to form the foreign legion that Li Xian had wanted to form for a long time.
Speaking of which, Shang State also organized a "foreign legion" at the beginning, that is, the Tianwaitian Legion. At that time, there were two considerations for forming the Tianwaitian Legion. One was to collect defeated and surrendered generals, soldiers, masters, etc., and the other was to prepare to use these people for external development.
The result, of course, was good; later, under the leadership of Taoist Xuantian, the Tianwai Tian Legion swept across the Fantasy Spirit Realm (the second heaven of the Nine Heavens), and finally Taoist Xuantian even used a trick to capture alive 1010 masters from the fairyland, and deceived an adopted son - Liansheng, who was transformed from the Nine Nether Mysterious Tail.
However, one thing is that the territories of various countries have now all become the property of the Shang Kingdom, especially the entire Yingzhou has become the core of the Shang Kingdom, so that the core area of this national ascension is actually the entire Yingzhou.
Then, the Tianwaitian Legion, which was once composed of generals, soldiers, and masters of the defeated countries in Yingzhou, naturally became a new legion of the Shang State; the idea of a foreign legion came to nothing.
Then, Emperor Li Xian was not satisfied. As a time traveler, he didn't even play a foreign legion. That was too unprofessional. So, he immediately started to form a foreign legion.
Of course, Li Xian also has a more far-reaching consideration, which is for the future development of Shangguo in the fairy world. The foreign legion is just a banner - you see, Shangguo still welcomes foreigners. You don't have to join Shangguo, obtain Shangguo nationality, or even citizenship. You can still have new ways to develop in Shangguo.
In fact, the idea of Shang State to establish a foreign legion was very welcome - they only needed to pass basic tests; and then, they could receive the same treatment as Shang State's regular army, including rewards.
Speaking of which, although Shang State is now confronting the Immortal Realm, many people are worried; but, to be honest, most of the practitioners who can cultivate to the Immortal level and above are not afraid of trouble.
