A banner with a capital 'Shu' character fluttered in the wind, and Shu Zifeng, who paid attention to practical simplicity, did not hesitate to take out his Chinese surname as a banner when designing his own military flag......

In Shu Zifeng's eyes, the flag is just a symbol of an army, an army trained by the villagers of the conquering system, and the object of allegiance is himself, not a symbolic flag.

This is also the difference between the ancient army and the modern army, except for the kind of unified empire, the military flag is almost the identification of each family or lord or even the individual general.

After Qin Shi Huang, the eastern countries were basically under a centralized unified regime, so most of the military flags were marked by the family or personal surnames of the generals leading the troops, while the European ones were dominated by tribal flags and lord flags, but the national flags were very vague.

The national flags of the eastern countries, in fact, are the fonts of the country names, and the flags of European countries are only held high by the direct troops of the king, and they are actually the flags of the king's family.

The national flag and military flag were not popularized in Europe until the end of the Renaissance, and the Manchu Empire in the east was also smashed open by Westerners, and found a dragon flag as the national flag.

Naturally, in this backward parallel world, Shu Zifeng had no mental obstacles, and Tian shamelessly regarded his surname as a military flag......

Fortunately, no one in Muscovy knew Chinese characters, and although they thought that the military flag set by Shu Zifeng was strange, they didn't think there was anything wrong.

In the eyes of most nobles, the flags of other families are just a logo, and only their own flags have a special spiritual significance.

Of course, if a family rises to become a behemoth that shakes the European continent, the banner will naturally be remembered by the world.

As for the flags of those small families and small nobles, the upper nobles will not care, even if a picture of 'Yoneda Gong' is drawn on it, no one will stop it......

Under the banner of the word "Shu", more than 1,000 young people who were recruited from the draft, like the crowd watching the "melon eating", hula la huddled and stood in a place with a blank expression.

Most of the more than 1,000 people were ordinary civilians with ignorant and simple faces, and they were pulled by Shu Zifeng's people with a piece of inferior black bread and a warrant from Grand Duke Yaroslav, but among them, there was a small group of nearly 100 people standing on the left edge, which was clearly separated from the majority.

Unlike the unarmed conscripted civilians, each of them had at least one hunting bow or crossbow, and each carrying a weapon such as a short sword or axe for melee combat.

These nearly 100 people are the hunters of the mountains and forests that Conrad came to the forest through the notification of relatives and friends one after another, with yellow-orange-orange gold lubra.

Compared to the outnumbered civilians, these hunters had at least seen blood, and the bows they had honed in order to survive were also useful.

Conrad was successfully promoted to the leader of the nearly 100 Orions because of the merits of pulling people, and Conrad was more familiar with each other with these Orions, making his management more popular.

At the same time, Shu Zifeng also fulfilled his promise and personally canonized Conrad as his knight servant......

Although in the eyes of real nobles and knights, Conrad's identity as a fake knight is not recognized, at least in the eyes of the recruited hunters and ordinary civilians, Conrad's knightly subordinate status personally given by Shu Zifeng is still authoritative.

Shu Zifeng also did this in order to let Conrad better manage the nearly 100 hunters who were good at using bows and crossbows, these hunters walked in the gray area all the year round due to the regulations of the noble hunting rights, all of them were men who dared to fight, and their combat effectiveness was undoubtedly much stronger than those ordinary civilians.

"My lord, these are the people we have brought from the villages and towns directly belonging to the Grand Duke of Yaroslav, and the Orions were brought by Conrad alone, and these conscripted civilians have shown no signs of resistance under our promise of food, but have great doubts about the post-war monetary reward we promised, and few believe it."

Leonidas stood behind Shu Zifeng's side and reported respectfully.

"These commoners have been deceived by the nobles and lords a lot, and their rights are not guaranteed, so they naturally won't easily believe our promises, but this is not a problem, just show the gold and silver coins we collected in front of them before the war, and these commoners are still very eager for the benefits in front of them.

Leonidas, in addition to the team of nearly 100 hunters, the rest of the ordinary civilians are handed over to you for a three-day intensive training, and your men are temporarily handed over to Bandak to train the use of arquebuses, I have just received 100 high-quality arquebuses, and your men are the first users. ”

Leonidas couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he was not unhappy that the soldiers he had trained himself were transferred, but that it took three days to train a group of ordinary civilians into soldiers......

"My lord, these conscripted civilians don't have any military training foundation, they haven't even killed anyone, they can't tell the difference between their left and right feet, is the three-day training short?"

"I don't ask these ordinary conscripts to become real soldiers, Leonidas, you just need to make these conscripts understand the severity of our army's 'discipline' within three days, and make sure that they don't scatter at the sight of the enemy.

Even if these conscripted civilians have not killed anyone, but there should always be a fight, we don't need them to be the main force in the fight, as long as these people are on the side to help fight and fight, we don't have much time to waste, three days is enough time for your soldiers to learn how to fire and reload arquebuses, they are the core of our army's battle. ”

After hearing this, Leonida's face became tangled, and he replied cautiously: "My lord, even if we just let these loosely conscripted civilians ensure that they do not escape in wartime, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve, unless we kill Liwei!" ”

Shu Zifeng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and looked at Leonidas with interest: "Oh? If you kill someone for no reason, it will be counterproductive. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, as long as I am allowed to use cruel means, I promise that I can select a few lazy thorns from these conscripted civilians in a reasonable way to make an example of them, not only will not make others feel cold, but also make them fear our military law from the bottom of their hearts!

It is very easy for the superior to rectify the people below, and the person who makes the rules will never make a mistake. ”

Shu Zifeng glanced at Leonidas meaningfully, nodded with a smile, and said, "I only care about the results, and I will come over to check your Liwei effect in three days." ”
