"Three horizontal teams! Advance! Reload! Get on the bayonet! In the large playground of the Far East Army camp near Paris, Ye Kai was dressed in a French brigadier general uniform, watching more than a thousand soldiers who were also wearing French military uniforms, practicing various battle formations.

His brigadier uniform was not worn casually, but was officially granted by Louis XVI and belonged to the Brigadier General of the Royal Guards series.

This was arranged for him by Queen Mary, so that he could have a proper position to manage the mercenaries who were going to the East.

Although in the Royal Guard, his rank of brigadier general was honorable, but in the two Far Eastern French mercenary corps, it was of practical significance.

Now Ye Kai's own 800 people, 1,650 people who nominally belong to Ruan Phuc Ying, have basically been recruited, Ye Kai's is called the First Mercenary Corps of the Far East, and those who belong to Ruan Phuc Ying are called the Second Mercenary Corps of the Far East.

"Your Excellency General, the First Mercenary Corps in the Far East has completed the exercise!"

"Your Excellency General, the Second Mercenary Corps of the Far East has completed the exercise!"

, was walking in front of Ye Kai and asked him to review the two regiments of mercenaries that had just been formed.

The so-called drill Ye Kai took a look, but it was not complicated, it was the artillery bombardment, the light infantry broke away from the queue after the artillery bombardment, the light infantry attacked after the light infantry attacked, and the line infantry attacked.

After two or three rounds of guns, the line infantry launched a bayonet charge, and after crushing the enemy in front, the lancers pursued and extended the gains.

In addition, he practiced the tactics of light cavalry covering the battlefield and preventing the opposing light cavalry from harassing his own line infantry.

As for the cuirassiers, Ye Kai didn't recruit a few people and couldn't play at all, and he couldn't use it to fight Nanyang for the time being, in fact, even the lancers didn't have a person, these cavalry Ye Kai was only prepared for the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he went north.

It can be seen that these recruited soldiers are veterans of the battlefield, and although they have only been training together for a short time, they are still relatively skilled in cooperating with each other.

In particular, the black soldiers in Uncle Black's flintlock pistol battalion greatly exceeded Ye Kai's impression of black people on the battlefield, and the more than two hundred black soldiers turned out to be rare elites.

Moreover, Ye Kai also found that the combat effectiveness of the 800 people on his side, who was much higher, was obviously higher than the more than 1,600 people in the second regiment.

Don't look at this set of simple plays, this is the most concise and effective way of playing summed up by European countries in more than 100 years of war.

Ye Kai simply accepted the admiring gaze of the soldiers, and then one of them released two livres of rewards, and the big-headed soldiers happily poured out of the barracks gate and went to Paris to enjoy life.

The soldiers were gone, the officers were left behind, and in this era the soldiers were mostly illiterate and illiterate, except for the elite artillery.

Officers, on the other hand, basically know a few words, and many of them come from various military schools with uneven teaching quality.

When he arrived in Nanyang, those illiterate soldiers were very easy to control, and the officers were the key, as long as Ye Kai got the loyalty of the officers, this team would be firmly in his hands!

"Gentlemen, my valiant officers! Listen to me! Ye Kai stood on the rostrum with a glass of rum.

Today, the banquet for these officers is in the form of a buffet, with fine Dutt wine, fine rum and pine nut, and the dishes are large pieces of barbecued meat and grilled fish that are in line with the customs of the barracks.

Of course, Ye Kai also brought a four-piece set of Seris food, sweet and sour pork ribs, Seris baked snails, Seris chicken nuggets, Jiaying Zhou roasted wings, and a large number of French fries.

If these dishes were used in this kind of drinking party in later generations, it would be quite subclassy, but in Paris at this time, this is definitely very high.

The more than 50 officers who were eating and drinking stopped their mouths and looked at Ye Kai on the stage.

Most of them are suffering from tuberculosis or other diseases at home, and they need berberine hydrochloride alms.

Of course, there are also some adventurers who have been in the East for a while, and this time they want to follow Ye Kai to make a fortune.

"I think everyone is no stranger to the Kingdom of Seris, and the reason why I recruited all the gentlemen under my command this time is to ask everyone to help me restore the Kingdom of Seris!

I, a marquis from the exiled royal family of Seris, hereby promise that if you are loyal to me, you will not only receive a large bounty, but after the restoration of the kingdom of Seris, I promise that you will all receive the title and become the nobles of Seris! ”

"Your Excellency, can the son of a shoemaker become a nobleman?" A strong man with a beard wiped a handful of wine from his beard and shouted loudly.

"Of course, anyone, no matter what his background, can become a nobleman if he fights valiantly in the battle to restore the kingdom of Seris for me, and I guarantee it with the blood of the Ceris royal family!

And I tell you, the riches and splendor of Seris are more than you can imagine, and even if you are made a baron, you will receive a castle and a town of two thousand rao and the corresponding land as a fief, and an annuity of more than five thousand livres per year! ”

Ye Kai waved his fist and swore that of course there would be a fief, a place as big as Nanyang, it was nothing to divide the white-skinned nobles into a fief, and five thousand livres were only more than three thousand taels of silver, which was not less in Europe, but it was a hair in China!

"Your Excellency, if your promise can be kept, I think we are all willing to be loyal to you!"

The bearded man drank the beer from his glass and cheered loudly, and there were some equally vulgar fellows around him who expressed their loyalty.

Ye Kai hurriedly waved his hand, how much credibility can the allegiance in this situation be like a joke.

"Gentlemen, if you are really willing to be loyal to me, and if you are willing to go with me to the East to make a career, tomorrow morning at the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.

There we will make a pact of life and death, just like King Arthur and his Knights of the Twelve Round Table! But for now, let me enjoy the evening! ”

Wan Ye opened his hands and patted lightly, and dozens of high-class dancers from the Parisian Fengyue place walked in like flowers and butterflies, and the sound of warblers and swallows coupled with the strong smell of perfume immediately fascinated these rough billets who were only the highest in the past were only lieutenant colonels, and the appearance fees of these dancers were not cheap, and these guys were not qualified to enjoy it before.

Ye Kai calmly watched the officers under his command wander, of course he would not be interested in these vulgar fans, but he had to accompany these guys to have a good wave.

Give them some benefits first, and wait until they taste the sweetness to control it much more, people are like this, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, once they have enjoyed better, and then return to the previous simple state, it is more uncomfortable than killing him.

However, among these people, there are two exceptions, this middle-aged man who only has a daughter in his eyes cherishes the rich life that Ye Kai gives him now, and has always stayed by Ye Kai's side.

, Ye Kai is now sure that the sergeant he recruited is the father of the famous grenadier in later generations, with the right age, the right name, and the family is also a beer merchant.

The future marshal of the First French Empire was only nineteen years old, not because he didn't like women, but because he was too young, he was a little overwhelmed by this scene.

Ye Kai walked over with a glass of wine, this is the future bull, the talent he values most in this army at present, the marshal of the First French Empire in the future, although he is not good at leading troops alone, he is just a fierce general, but when he moves to ancient China, he will not lose to Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong!
