350. Reorganization
Jiajing raised his right hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, the noise just now stopped abruptly, and Jiajing then said loudly: "Mengclair and these barbarian warriors have good conduct and are worthy of trust, they become one of us, it is the glory of Badaling, if any of you are not convinced, even if you say it, Badaling rewards and punishments are clear, if you don't say it now, and secretly engage in friction and division in the future, I Liu Fu Jiajing will definitely not spare him!"
Montclair strode forward and saluted the many soldiers: "I am very honored to be able to lead the brothers to join Badaling and fight side by side with you, life and death!" I know that we have invaded Badaling, and we have become a prisoner of everyone, and now we are fortunate to be your comrades-in-arms, and we have exalted ourselves, but for the sake of these brothers who followed Mengclair's birth and death, Mengclair had no choice but to be cheeky and ask the Earl to allow us to join, if anyone of you has an opinion, just say it, whoever can defeat the steel spear in the hands of the subordinates, take the initiative to withdraw, and immediately take his brothers away from Badaling, and when they see the Badaling warriors in the future, they will definitely cover their faces and retreat!"
Meng Clair's words were not only conceited of his own strength, but also an explanation of the Badaling warriors.
Alladier tugged on the reins, took a step forward with the blood-colored steed under the seat, and said in a deep voice: "We are all warriors of Badaling, swearing to follow the earl, and we have no right to influence the decision of the lord, and now the lord asks for our opinion, it is to attach importance to us, the Montclair brothers are strong, straightforward, and the barbarian warriors under their command are all skilled in martial arts, for their joining, Alladier only welcomes them, and there is absolutely no discrimination, I believe that our warriors are also like this!"
Jiajing saw that many soldiers were looking at each other, and the unwillingness on many people's faces gradually faded, so he nodded with satisfaction and concluded: "Very good, I declare that from now on, Meng Clair and the barbarian warriors under him will be a member of our Badaling, organized into the third squadron of the second brigade of the first wing, led by Meng Clair himself!"
The 6,000 soldiers were divided into two wings, one was the direct soldiers of Badaling, and the other was the supernumerary combat force led by Vilia and Srika. The Kasia warriors led by Kent belonged to the first squadron of the second brigade, while the rock giants belonged to the second squadron of the second brigade, and Jiajing put the barbarian warriors in the same position as the Kasia warriors and rock giants, which shows how much he valued the barbarian warriors.
After all, Monclair's strength is extraordinary, a top master who can compete with the Dragon Knight, and he alone can afford this position.
Meng Clair hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order: "Meng Clair has taken the order, please rest assured, Lord Earl, Meng Clair and many brothers will never forget their identity! In the face of anyone who offends my family, we will definitely annihilate the enemy with all our strength, resist desperately, and not give up an inch of land!"
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, turned to face all the soldiers, and said in a loud voice: "Fellow warriors, I agree with Monclair's joining, what I value is his honest and honest character, but it does not mean that I agree with the chivalry he shows on the battlefield, no matter in any battle, you must take defeating the enemy as the first goal! Just imagine, if you encounter a fierce beast whose strength is much higher than yours, will you deal with it single-handedly? I hope you will always remember this -- defeat the enemy and protect yourself! Be fearless when you should fight hard, and be flexible when you should retreat! What I need is an army that is brave, fearless, and full of wisdom, not an army that only understands chivalry and drills through an alley to the end!"
Most of the people who joined Badaling were wandering soldiers, and most of them were robbers who made a living by looting, but they did not have any objection to Jiajing's words, but took it for granted. But if he said this in front of the noble knights, he would be spurned by the collective.
The honest Kasia warriors were a little puzzled by this, and Kent, who was the leader, also asked most of the Kasia warriors with a confused face: "My lord, are you saying that we will flee when we can't defeat the enemy?"
Jiajing laughed loudly: "Of course not, I mean to try to protect yourself and fight the enemy." For example, when fighting against cavalry, we can use traps to deal with the enemy, instead of openly resisting the opponent, and if there is a huge disparity in strength, we can avoid its edge, temporarily retreat, and wait until the future comeback! Of course, under some special circumstances, we absolutely cannot retreat! If behind us is your tribe of barbarian cattle Kasia, your relatives, will you flee because you are afraid of the enemy's strength?"
Kent said loudly in an affirmative tone: "Of course not, our barbarian Kassia warriors will definitely not be afraid of death!"
Jiajing nodded and said with a smile: "In my hometown, there were once five brave soldiers, in order to cover the safe evacuation of their comrades-in-arms and relatives, they did not hesitate to lead the enemy to a dead end, with their own flesh and blood, delayed the enemy on the dead end, and finally unyielding jumping off the cliff and sacrificed.
Kent nodded thoughtfully, "My lord, I seem to understand a little!"
Puanx couldn't help but interject: "Kent, you stupid bull, wait for me to teach you well in the future!"
Jiajing changed his words and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, we Badaling soldiers only look at their merits, not their backgrounds, and the military salary for recruits is five gold coins, and the military salary for regular soldiers is fifteen gold coins. Later, I will work out the military ranks and the corresponding meritorious measures with General Allardier, and when they are completed, they will be announced immediately.
With a large amount of funds and the opening of the trade routes of the Kasia Empire, Jiajing is now much more hardened in his words.
6,000 soldiers, even if calculated at a military salary of 30 gold per person, is at most 180,000 a month, and more than 2 million a year. According to the current income of Badaling, there is absolutely no problem, let alone the future territorial taxes.
As soon as Jiajing's words came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in this review field, and their current military salary is generally about ten gold, which is already several times that of ordinary soldiers in the empire. Now Jiajing has raised their military salaries to fifteen gold coins, and there are additional rewards for their meritorious deeds, and after their rank is raised, they can even get a high military salary of thirty gold! Even if there is no war for them to establish meritorious service, they can still become high-class soldiers after staying in the army for two years, which means that the treatment will be 20 times that of the imperial soldiers! Under the temptation of the huge military salary, some of the soldiers who still had some opinions about the addition of Montclair, and the unwillingness in their hearts was immediately washed away by the cheers and excitement of the moment.
