Chapter 66: The Soldiers of the Blago People
The night was dark, and the big tent was still brightly lit.
Jiashi held a quill pen in his hand and sketched on the document.
An officer in a green uniform walked in from his tent with a new stack of papers in his hand.
Hearing the voice, Jiashi put down the pen in his hand and looked up.
"My lord, this is information about the soldiers. The visitor hurriedly took two steps forward and said.
"It's Kevin, let's talk about it. Jiashi reached out and rubbed his temples and the center of his eyebrows, he felt a little tired.
"Yes, Master. Kevin saluted.
"According to the task assigned by the Legion Commander, 10,000 people need to be deployed this time, and the initial number is 5,000 people, and they need to arrive within a month, and now there are only ten days left. The later five thousand people need to be delivered within three months. Kevin flipped through the file and began to give Jiashi a rough description of what was on it.
"The five thousand people in the later stage, the legion leader said that he needs the top soldiers, this kind of soldier source is not easy to find, the family is looking for it in the entire province, we have obtained various information from the provincial government affairs department, and we are selecting from them. Kevin turned the page and said in a somewhat distressed tone: "The free people of the empire are still too bad compared to the citizens. ”
"The five thousand people in the early stage are okay, the selection standard is not so high, as long as some are selected from the former auxiliary legions, this group of people is already on the way, and there are about seven days to arrive. Kevin said roughly for a moment, and then looked up at Jiashi: "Family master, that's about it." ”
Jiashi lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said calmly: "Give me the parameters of this group of people." ”
"Oh. Kevin answered, and quickly opened the document and read it.
"The number of soldiers is five thousand and seventeen, mainly from the former Blago's 1st and 4th Auxiliary Regiments. ”
"Bingyuan's physical fitness is roughly the second-level standard of the empire. The lowest height is 168 cm, and the highest is 173 cm. The muscle level is also roughly level two, and there is no such thing as a very high one. ”
Jiashi nodded slightly, for the freedmen, the second-level standard is already very good.
The Jade Empire has a relatively fixed standard for the classification of soldiers, in terms of height, the first-level soldiers are all 1.78 meters up, 1.68 to 1.77 meters are the second-level standards, and then there is no qualification to enlist.
Most of the male citizens of the empire can be selected for the first-level enlistment standard, and most of them also have relatively superb skills and tactics, and can directly enter the regular army, which is also the capital of the empire to be able to beat all kinds of alien races around.
Not to mention other human countries, even compared with the orcs, half-orcs, and barbarians, which are extremely strong races, the physique of the citizens of the empire is not weak at all, and for thousands of years, by sucking the blood of the surrounding races, the physique of the citizens of the empire has finally evolved to this point.
Freedmen are much worse in terms of physical fitness, and only a few are able to meet this standard.
The 5,000 Wudang Flying Army required by Saga is the source of the second rank, because this is a crossbow soldier, the requirements for physical fitness are relatively low, and the body is slightly shorter, which is more conducive to traveling through the mountains.
Jiashi feels that this operation is relatively simple, but the five thousand people needed by the Demon Vine Armor Soldiers are very difficult, facing the enemy's troops, the strength of physical fitness is very important, and the will of the free people themselves is relatively weak, if they can't have a greater advantage in physical fitness, the combat effectiveness is absolutely not guaranteed.
"Are there enough Blago people in the Imperial Province to reach the first-level standard?" asked Jiashi.
"The head of the family, according to the information obtained so far, can still barely make it up. Kevin said without thinking.
There was no surprise on Jiashi's face, this thing was expected.
The province of Blago was not only the smallest province in the empire. And because the terrain within the province is mountainous and plain, it is also the least populated province, according to the population registered in the empire, it is only about 600,000, even if you count all kinds of black households, the population is about 800,000.
Imperial law stipulates that the age of male enlistment is between 20 and 40 years old, which accounts for about 16 percent of the total population, or about 120,000 people.
Normally, 30,000 men were selected from these 120,000 men to serve as soldiers in the four auxiliary legions and reserves. This year, another 10,000 people will be transferred.
Fortunately, the auxiliary regiment does not need to carry out formal military training all year round, as long as there is a certain sense of obeying the orders of the commander, otherwise the survival of the Blago people may also have certain problems with so many young laborers joining the army at once.
"The head of the family, this first batch of people can be gathered, but once there is war damage after the war, I am afraid it will be difficult to make up for the high-quality soldiers. Kevin said with some concern: "Why does the Legion Captain have to use the Bulagos as regular legions? Although not all barbarians are weak in combat, the Bulagos are really not as brave as the Slavs, and they don't look like a people who can bear heavy responsibilities." ”
Jiashi's brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted softly: "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, Saga Shaojun is wise and wise, naturally he has thought about this problem a long time ago, he does this, naturally he has his own reasons, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, there will be a next time, and you will not be spared." ”
"Yes, yes, the head of the family, the subordinates know their mistakes, and they will never mention it again in the future. Kevin saw that the head of the family was actually angry, and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, let's not take it as an example. Jiashi raised his right hand and waved, signaling.
In fact, Jiashi used to have this question, and Saga explained to Jiashi in detail why Saga had to use the Blago people as soldiers of the regular army.
The fundamental reason is the peculiarity of this ethnic group of the Blago people.
If the world of Lablar is a game world, then the Blago race talent should have this in it.
"Children of the Mountain: As long as you are in the mountains, you will automatically be protected by the mountains, and you will be able to slightly increase your strength, speed, flexibility, and health recovery. ”
In short, as long as the Blago people are in the mountains, it is equivalent to adding a large BUFF.
These racial talents, if they can be developed and then integrated into the aura, are extremely powerful.
The former Praetorian Guard of the Kingdom of Blago was such a legion, and the empire sent four Sanctuary generals, a Grand Magister, and a Sanctuary Grand Priest, and used two regular legions carrying the imperial military flag to lead four auxiliary legions to besiege and annihilate this legion in Blago City.
Afterwards, according to the Empire's estimates, the Praetorian Guard Legion was estimated to be the ultimate legion, but fortunately there were not enough auxiliaries, and the legion itself was determined to die, otherwise it was not known whether it could be encircled and annihilated in the end.
