342 Slave Legion
With the addition of the people brought back by Harmonis, 7,000 people were captured at once, which is not counted as more than 1,000 wounded soldiers. After this battle, everyone admired Li You, especially Heizi, who learned a lot from it. This is also the reason why Li You took him deliberately. His mercenary is very useful.
Now, Li You really intends to expand this mercenary, anyway, the slave trade in Dakhan City is already well-known. And now, these captives will also become new slaves to help build the new city. With so many people working together, I am afraid that the construction will be completed next year. After all, there is no need to build any luxurious palaces here, as long as the residential and city defenses are built. That's it, you can take your time for the rest.
But Li You was wrong. Through this battle, the Huoxun countrymen are full of confidence and support for the queen of Yiwu. Tanzberg also ordered a large number of craftsmen to start the construction of the palace. For him The more popular Yiwu is, the more lofty the status of the Ute Department.
When Zhang Da arrived here with more than 10,000 people and 6,000 slaves, he saw that the construction of the new city was already full of prisoners of war, and he knew that this time he was worried.
After the slaves arrived here, as long as Heizi and others stated the conditions, they would basically agree to join the mercenary. Not only could they not be squeezed, but they could also get rid of slavery status. The key is that as long as they are free from slavery status, they can join the fire search nation. This is 30% of the tax revenue of other countries, and there is no need to pay taxes in the first three years, and they can get 10 acres of land to grow food. This is undoubtedly a pie in the sky for them.
In this way, a huge army of slaves has appeared. The mercenaries in the early stage are better than the slaves in that they still have money to get every month. It's not like slaves who just eat and drink. Even so, those slaves are happy one by one.
In fact, they are not to blame, just because the taxes here are indeed a bit high, and they are really much higher than the taxes collected by Datang, because each country has a relatively small population and wants to meet the operational needs of the entire country. , It can only raise taxes, and in addition to satisfy the king’s needs, this tax will naturally remain high.
The conditions set by Huoxunguo now are what they have refused. Many slaves are looking forward to returning to their families and bringing them here to live when they are restored to their freedom in the future.
The Aral Sea, beautiful scenery, breeze and blue waves, and excellent scenery, this is what Li You has never seen, because the Aral Sea has not dried up like later generations. Now the Aral Sea has moderate salt content and groups of fish and shrimps. Although deep inland, the amount of evaporation is also great, but fortunately, there are two large rivers to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh water, so that the salinity of this water area is always in a balanced state.
When Li You was ordered to come here to help other countries train elite troops, it was not like this. The current salt water quality is very good, the transparency is very high, the deep blue water looks especially beautiful under the sun. Looking at this deep blue lake, Li You recalled a lot for a while.
Yi Wu was sitting beside Li You watching Muna and Dogzi with the child playing around the lake, everything seemed so beautiful and comfortable. When she turned to look at Li You, she found that Li You was looking at the lake in a daze, so she asked, "My husband, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing this, Li You came back to his senses, and after kissing her, he said: "I'm wondering if you, the queen, have to help the country change its name."
"Why?" Yi Wu asked puzzledly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Huo Xun Guo is actually Khwarazim. Although it is a country with a long history, he pushed the border into today's Afghanistan and Iran when he was the strongest later. But before its rise, this country has always been a younger brother to others, and it has always been a vassal state. The key is still from the sixth century BC.
The first to conquer Huoxunguo was the Persian Empire. In the sixth century BC, after conquering Huoxunguo, the Persians incorporated them into the territory of the Persian Empire.
At the beginning of the fourth century BC, due to the decline of Persia, Huoxunguo seized the opportunity to separate the Persian Empire and declare independence. But not long after the independence of the country, the Guishuang Empire built by the Yue people who were driven to Central Asia by the Huns was beaten, and the country almost died. Under the pressure of Yue's soldiers, Huoxunguo was defeated and had to surrender to the mighty Guishuang Empire again. This was the second time that Huoxunguo was conquered.
In this way, after hundreds of years, the Sassanid dynasty of Persia rose again. The Persians defeated the Guishuang Empire, drove out the Yueshi people, and regained control of Huoxunguo. This was the third time they were conquered. But this time, Huoxun country almost died, the population dropped from more than 500,000 to less than 100,000, but they still survived.

Up to now, the empire established by the Arabs has conquered the Persians and by the way, the Huoxun country has been conquered. So they became vassals of the Arab Empire. This is the fourth time Huoxun Country has been conquered.
And a few hundred years later, the rise of the Seljuk Empire in the Middle East will control Huoxun Country again. This is the fifth time they have been conquered. The sixth time was conquered by the Mongols led by Genghis Khan. Counting from the earliest time of being conquered, Huo Xunguo will be enslaved for 1,600 years.
The country is too weak. There is no way. Now that Li You wants to change something, he naturally feels that this name has to be changed.
Li You looked at Yi Wu and smiled and said to her: "I just don't think the name is good enough. If you don't want it, then forget it."
Yi Wu was definitely unwilling. Now that Li You didn't mention it anymore, she didn't say much.
Li You got up and ran to play with his son. Now, Li Hong is more than a year old and can call his father. Li You really likes it. It just feels that my son is not willing to be close to him. It seems that it is because there is too little time around him.
They stayed by the lake for a while before they went back. The time spent together like this is indeed not much. Li You plans to stay for another half month before leaving. He also has to take care of Beiting. Years later, it has been two years since he came to Beiting, and he had to go back to Chang'an, so he had to leave.
The slaves now have Kuroko and others imposing training. What is waiting for them will be the Great War next year. They all know one thing, the big eclipse will not let them go. This time they are defeated, and 30,000 people are lost in World War I. Not to mention that the Governor of Khorasan who guards Persia will feel distressed. It is estimated that the food empire will also feel distressed, so they must avenge their hatred.
The top priority now is to train and collect more slaves. Huo Xunguo doesn't have many people to serve as soldiers, and it all depends on Heizi. And Li You's judgment is that the eclipse will lead a large army to suppress it around the middle of next year, and the number of people is estimated to reach 100,000.
Everyone agrees with this judgment. Now, the top priority is to train people quickly, or else, there is no way to beat it. (End of this chapter)
