17: Army
Aslan has been waiting for the census to be completed before issuing an order to recruit soldiers, and as for training himself, he has to do it himself.
According to his memory, the army training in this world is still very ancient, just some simple swords, guns, when there is a war, in addition to the regular army of the empire, other lords, most of them recruit some peasants casually, and they are sent to the battlefield after training.
What Aslan wants to train is a strong army, and he knows very well that a well-disciplined army, an army that enforces prohibitions, is what he really wants, so he is ready to use the military training techniques of his previous life first.
As for why he didn't directly use the barracks in the center of the town to train, Aslan did think about it, but he couldn't, because there was a quota limit, and the quality of the training could not be guaranteed, if he couldn't master the sword qi like Handini, it would be a big loss.
"One more thing, you will issue a recruitment order tomorrow, and all young men between the ages of eighteen and forty can sign up for our newly formed Flying Army, and they will receive ten silver coins in a month, and they will also be provided with three meals a day. Let's set the quota at about 100 people. Aslan said.
The housekeeper of Michelo said: "Young master, is ten silver coins a month too much, generally recruiting soldiers with a maximum of two or three silver coins is enough, and it also provides three meals a day." ”
"The fighters I want to train are real fighters, not militiamen," Aslan said. They are not required to be able to fight against ten, but they must obey military orders and have absolute loyalty. And we have to at least give them a big reward for this, and they will fight for us. ”
The Michelo butler said, "Then everything is up to you." ”
Aslan looked at the starry sky, he was about to build an army that could make the entire continent boil.
In the office of the town center, before the feudal era was upgraded, it could only be described as shabby.
"It will take ten days to upgrade the feudal era, and there is also the iron ore in the city......"
Aslan listened quietly to Jace's report on the situation in the center of the town, Iwata has asked other village names to take the people of Flying City to reclaim, there are many people and great power, this sentence is not wrong at all, now more than a dozen acres have been reclaimed, and the rest is just to bring in the soil, and then Aslan will go to perform natural recovery.
The only thing that gave Aslan a headache was that there was a serious shortage of iron mines in the city, and he didn't know if there were iron mines around, so he could only understand that Jace would take someone to investigate.
At the same time, Jace also told Aslan about a thing that gave him a lot of headaches, that is, after upgrading the feudal era, in the endless world, certain forces will directly descend to balance his existence, as for what it is, whether it is hostile or how powerful, these Jaces don't know.
If this is really the case, then even if the resources are enough in the future, he will not dare to upgrade indiscriminately, he must develop his own strength to a certain point before he dares to upgrade, in case the upgrade is completed, he will summon a hostile force, then his Flying City is not a threat.
The next day at noon!
Aslan stood on a flat ground outside the Flying City, and at this time there were almost a hundred people gathered in front of him.
Handini walked up to Aslan and said, "Lord of the City, I have already assembled. ”
Aslan looked at the more than 100 people in front of him, and some even sat directly on the ground and began to chat.
Handini grimaced and was about to scold the soldiers, but the lord had already stepped in front of him.
Aslan walked to a relatively high place, he looked at the crowd, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet, I think everyone knows what you are here for, and I also know that most of you are here for the ten silver coins." Right. ”
A big man below shouted: "Of course, if it weren't for those ten silver coins, I wouldn't have come to serve as a soldier if I were killed, and it would be dangerous." ”
Aslan's tone began to be serious, and said: "I also know what everyone wants, but I want to repeat here, it is not so simple to be a soldier of Flying Sky City, if someone is lazy or disobeys orders during training, then I'm sorry, please get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Aslan looked at the quiet crowd and continued, "But as long as you obey orders, I can train you to become a real warrior in a short time. Here I will also tell you that whoever has been a soldier for a year will have your monthly salary raised to twenty denarii per person. ”
Twenty silver coins!
Everyone in the audience exclaimed, even Handini was surprised, you must know that ordinary farming is less than five silver coins a month, and now the salary of ten silver coins is more than that.
According to the meaning of the words of the city lord, as long as you have been a soldier for one year, you can receive twenty silver coins per month. This is a huge amount of money for them, and it can even be said that in the next few years, soldiers will become the high-paid class in Skyfly City.
Aslan looked at the excited crowd below, and he knew that he not only had to set a strict system, but also had to let them see the good 'fruits' so that they would be motivated.
"Moreover, our army will increase, and at that time, as long as those who are serious in peacetime and brave in battle, can take on higher positions, then they can get more benefits. Aslan was constantly stimulating them at this time,
"Ahem, if you want to leave now, you can leave now, and then I'm going to train you myself. Aslan's eyes drifted over everyone.
No one chose to leave in the face of so many temptations.
Aslan saw that no one left, nodded appreciatively, and shouted loudly: "Okay, I now announce that the training of your recruits has officially begun." ”
"All of them! Ten in a row of ten, and the extra ones stand in the back. ”
It took a group of people five or six minutes to stand up.
Aslan said to Handini on the side: "You go to the front of the line, and you also participate in training." ”
Handini pointed his finger at himself in surprise and said, "I'm going to train too?"
Aslan affirmed: "Yes, you also have to participate in training, you have to remember the process of my training, and you will be in charge of them later." ”
"Yes!" Handini was still a little surprised, but he still chose to obey the city lord's order.
Looking at the 100 people lined up in front of him, it still feels a little chaotic from a distance.
However, Aslan knew that this would take his time.
His memory began to return to his time as a conscript, although the way of recruit training could not greatly improve the strength of the army, but it could establish discipline and build team feelings.
