The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 35: new recruits

Views:

After a few hours, the scribes under his command compiled all the household registrations and population and submitted them.

I looked over quietly and added a new refugee household register. This is the name of this book.

There are 223 refugees in total, including 80 adults between the ages of 16 and 40. Households were borrowed separately, with a total of 53 households registered.

Among the eighty people, there are actually eighty strong men. It seems that the only ones who can survive the displaced life are some young and strong men!

Also, it is natural for the old and weak who cannot find food to eat and are given alms but cannot snatch away the young and strong, so they should starve to death.

That's fine, it makes you easier. From these young men, I selected 2/3 of the men according to the previous rules. Form them into your newly trained army and expand your territory for yourself.

In this way, Zhong Yu waited slowly. On the next day, there was another noise in the refugee camp, and this time he was able to drive out 230 people.

With the experience of arranging refugees in the first two times, the people under his command were quickly arranged properly like those refugees. Although there were some minor confusions along the way, things quickly settled down without any major difficulties.

On the third day, the population remained the same, about 220 people. On the fourth day, there was a little more than finished, but not much, more than 240 people. On the fifth day, the population was even smaller, even lower than the previous low, with only more than 210 people. On the sixth day, my luck was much better than before. There were more than 270 people in total. On the seventh day, there was a big explosion. My luck exploded. There were actually 300 people, reaching the theoretical highest point.

I made a rough calculation of the total number of people released from the refugee camp this time, and found that it was a little less than last time, only 1,700, but it was still pretty good.

This time there are more young men among the refugees. The number of people in the previous batch, Nanjing Qingzhuang, was only 600, but this time there were 700. This is probably the reason why the population of the refugee camps is relatively small this time!

In the military camp, 400 people were quietly gathering at this moment, standing neatly on the school field, being inspected by Zhong Yu.

Everyone's face is full of excitement and eagerness to try. Originally, when facing a war, all soldiers should be uneasy and a little anxious no matter how bad it is.

However, these people have all heard of Zhong Yu's previous achievements. With 400 men, he captured more than 2,600 people without any casualties.

Such a brilliant victory can be said to be unprecedented. At least until now, they have never heard of an army that can fight without killing anyone. Even if you win a big victory, you will always have some casualties, which is inevitable.

But now, Zhong Yu can take a few people out and come back with those soldiers unscathed.

They initially established a blind sense of trust in Zhong Yu. In their hearts, even if they die during this expedition, they won't die too many.

With the previous foundation, they have a rough idea of the fighting power of those barbarians. They are very scumbag, very scumbag, and their brains are extremely stupid.

Therefore, this is an expedition. At most, a few people were injured or killed due to some accidents. There should not be too many casualties.

Therefore, all the recruits are very confident about this expedition. And he is looking forward to performing very well in this battle so that the Lord will appreciate him.

From then on, under the command of the lord, he became prominent and honored his ancestors. He spread his reputation throughout the territory, allowing all the people in the territory to spread his good name and be proud of his name.

Looking at the very optimistic attitude of the soldiers below, Zhong Yu did not attack them. It is very good to have such ambitions. Maintaining a very exciting fighting morale is better than leading a group of people with sad faces and unwillingness to be defeated. It's much better to force the soldiers to go to the battlefield by yourself.

Just like last time, the group of 300 recruits was filled with panic because he forced them to go to the battlefield. He was very afraid that he would be injured and die during the battle.

On the battlefield, they were timid and did not dare to move forward, but they could not force themselves too much to avoid causing resentment and mutiny among them.

He could only let his knights and slaves rush to the front, and after winning one victory after another, those soldiers were not too afraid of the war.

Instead, it is full of a very arrogant attitude, although this attitude is very fragile, so fragile that if it encounters some very powerful troops, even some regular troops.

You can tear that arrogance to pieces, step on the ground, beat those soldiers hard, and let them understand that war is for dead people, not for fun.

You are still just some rookies. What you have encountered before is just a group of rookies who are better than you and are unprepared. That is why you can win repeatedly, but this is not something you can be proud of.

Then, that group of troops who were extremely tender and extremely weak in their hearts were easily torn into pieces like a piece of paper and became a joke.

Zhong Yu also knew their current situation, but he didn't care. Because he knows that in the future, in the near future, he will only be there for three or four months. He will have an army of tens of thousands of people. When the time comes, these strong soldiers will not even be counted among them, and they will not be taken seriously by him at all.

And if these soldiers are on a real battlefield by then, they will not be able to train themselves into real soldiers.

Then, it is better to be eliminated like this, and I will not care about the lives of this small group of people. Their deaths did not bring any turmoil to their territory, nor did they pose the slightest threat.

Therefore, it is very good for these cannon fodder to remain in this state now.

And I only need to train their military posture a little to make them look like very elite soldiers who have gone through very rigorous training.

It can be confusing in appearance, so that those barbarians who have never seen the world dare not act rashly.

Just like the ancient emperor, he was always surrounded by a group of useless honor guards, but the emperor's supreme majesty shocked everyone's hearts.

But it just makes those honor guards without any combat power look full of intimidating momentum. This is the effect of power and the changes in other people's hearts.

And this is what I want to achieve. As long as I have this guard of honor, those barbarians will be intimidated by my knight's combat effectiveness.

So as long as these soldiers make no mistakes, they can suppress barbarians with a fighting strength of thousands of adult men with only three hundred strong soldiers, just like before.

If those barbarians were on the frontal battlefield, often hunting and experiencing tribal battles, they could single-handedly challenge three thousand strong soldiers who had never been on the battlefield without any pressure.

However, it is still a little early to say this.

These soldiers were just rookies who had just been rushed to the military camp by themselves and had not received any training.

I must also work hard to train their military appearance and appearance so that they can become qualified decorations and thus become a qualified guard of honor.
