Chapter 76 Arrangements of the Foreign Legion
There is no suspense, the choice of surrender is inevitable-
It can be said that after this battle is over, the Cataclysmic Legion can be regarded as truly doing what Liu Xuan explained, but if you calculate carefully, it is actually only the first step.
"Although there was no main attack on the Germans, after this battle, there were only more than 3,000 Germans left who could continue to fight, and the rest basically died in this battle!"
In the confrontation with the Scourge Legion, there were almost no lightly injured soldiers, either seriously injured or killed, and most of the seriously injured did not live long, so there was no problem in treating them directly as casualties.
Originally, according to Sun Ce's meaning, those wounded soldiers should be left alone, but Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu meant to be appeased.
After all, they want to recover the entire Germanic people, so simply suppressing them by force is not a long-term strategy, unless the Han Dynasty turns around and exterminates the Germanic people after occupying Europe.
It seems that the meaning of the Son of Heaven seems to be to cultivate Germanic people, although I don't know what it is for, but since it is the master's intention, then they can only obediently do it.
Anyway, they are only responsible for following orders, and they don't need to think about it in such detail, at most, they are thinking about how to better satisfy Liu Xuan.
From the current point of view, appropriate pacification and gentleness can better win over the Germanic people and reduce the resistance of the Germanic people to the Scourge Legion.
After all, there is no deep hatred between the natural disaster and the Germanic people, in fact, after the natural disaster came to Europe, the target of the attack was also to avoid the Germanic people as much as possible.
In other words, there are not many Germanic people who die at the hands of natural disasters, and even if they appear occasionally, Sun Ce and them will simply wipe out a tribe.
In the Germanic people, they are not a real people, they are still dominated by tribes, as long as there is no direct conflict with this tribe, then it means that there is no irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides.
In short, the operation of the Scourge Corps in Europe is off to a good start, and with this first, the second is not far off.
In the past, the Holy See was able to form an alliance for the whole of Europe, because under the propaganda of the Holy See, it was impossible for the natural disaster, the 'minions of the devil', and human beings to coexist, which was an irreconcilable contradiction.
In order to survive on their own, human beings must of course fight against natural disasters in a group.
But when it turns out that natural disasters allow for the survival of mankind as well, then all the efforts of the Holy See will be reduced to a waterdrop - at this time, the influence of the Holy See is not as strong as it was later, and it almost single-handedly covers Europe.
Not to mention the places outside the Roman Empire, even within the Roman Empire, it is not said that the Holy See is the largest, and it is still the rulers of the Roman Empire who really hold the power.
The current ruler of the Roman Empire is Constantine, who divided the Roman Empire into four parts, one for himself and his three sons, and at the same time reformed the army to improve the combat effectiveness of the Roman Empire.
Originally, he wanted to completely defeat the Ning Kingdom and the Persian Empire next to him, but unfortunately he ran into such a thing as the Cataclysm Legion, which made all the combat power of the Roman Empire move in this direction, and the area ruled by Constantine himself was here, so Constantine directly sent the most elite Paladin Cavalry Guards in his hands.
He thought that the barbarian army, mainly Germanic and Gothic, could stop the Catastrophe, and then put all the elite of the Roman Empire into the battlefield, even if it could not defeat the Catastrophe, it would be able to stop the Catastrophe's frantic advance. ...,
Unexpectedly, as soon as the cavalry team on his side set off, news came from the front line that shocked him.
"Those barbarians have taken refuge in the Scourge!"
Constantine was drinking fine wine, enjoying all kinds of melons, fruits and tender meat, but he didn't expect to stuff a piece of tender meat into his mouth when he heard such a news that he couldn't believe.
"What are the barbarians thinking, and what good is it to take refuge in the devils who have crawled out of hell?"
The enraged Constantine smashed almost everything in front of him, and the best wine and food were spilled everywhere with Constantine's movements.
"Venerable Augustus (there were four rulers in the time of Diocletian, two Augustus ruled the west and the east respectively, and Caesar was Augustus's deputy, and Constantine followed the system of Diocletian, but he himself was the ruler, and his three sons were Caesar), it is said that the natural disaster promised many benefits to the barbarians, and even promised to let the barbarians govern the land after the Roman Empire was conquered!"
The stumbling of these words may be because the content is too terrifying - after all, they are the Roman Empire, which was originally the most powerful country, and now in the mouth of the Scourge Legion, they are like little girls who have no power to fight back, and they can bully as much as they want.
As the ruler of the Roman Empire, Constantine felt that he had been greatly insulted.
"Keep moving the army, I'm going to bury those guys in the dirt again, that's where they should be!"
As a subordinate of Constantine, the minister actually wanted to say: "It's actually not safe to bury it, it's better to burn it clean!"
But Constantine was in a rage, and he was not so brain-dead that he said these words at this time, it was purely to make himself unhappy.
"Conscription, continue to conscript, I will form another thirty legions!"
In the roar of Constantine, the conscription order of the Roman Empire was issued again, and this time Constantine was ruthless, not only down to the age of twelve, but also up to the age of fifty healthy men are within the scope of the collection, and even directly ordered that every family must be out, if there is no man of the right age, then directly arrest the woman!
The entire Roman Empire was in chaos, and the north was still under the terror and pressure of the Scourge legions, so it can be said that all Europeans were living in dire straits.
Liu Xuan didn't know the situation here, if he knew, he would probably want to go to Europe and shout: "The people of Europe are still living in dire straits, let our Han army come to save these poor people!" and then the army stepped over, leaving no chickens and dogs......
Just when there was a mess in Europe, Liu Xuan only received news from Sun Shangxiang.
"We have had initial contact with the Germanic people, and for now, within at least half a year, all the Germanic people of the Eastern European generation will surrender and become a new force under the command of the Scourge Legion......"
Raising his eyes and looking at Liu Xuan, Sun Shangxiang ignored the big hand that was making a mistake on him, and continued to talk about business: "About the weapons and equipment of the Germanic Legion......"
Liu Xuan paused in his hand, he really didn't think about this question, he was just thinking about forming a foreign army composed entirely of Europeans.
This legion can enjoy the same treatment as the Han Forbidden Army, but in fact, their status is very clear, they are cannon fodder.
On the issue of casualties, he will not care at all, but if he really fights too badly, he will not be able to play its due role if he directly collapses the legion.
In the final analysis, this legion still has to be cultivated well, even if it is cannon fodder, it has to be a useful cannon fodder.
Liu Xuan pondered whether to make a classification according to the later Yuan Dynasty, but that was not conducive to rule..., especially since the earth was equivalent to Liu Xuan's base camp, he didn't want his base camp to make a fuss, so the easiest way was to treat these Europeans equally, but although they were treated equally on the surface, they could play some tricks on some detailed things.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the future, on the surface it called equality, but there has always been a hierarchy and differential treatment, and the big deal is that these people's promotion or learning more advanced knowledge and skills require more effort.
As long as you control a degree and don't make them dissatisfied, you have to leave thoughts, there must be hope, otherwise these people will see no hope at all, and I am afraid that they will not have any motivation.
Touching his chin - Sun Shangxiang's, Liu Xuan felt that this approach should be no problem, so that the treatment and arrangement in the foreign army would be eyebrow-raising.
"First of all, take the set of tricks that Yu Ji gave to the Sun family to practice for these guys, if you want to get better exercises or better treatment, in addition to good talent, you must also make meritorious contributions!"
Anyway, that exercise was all made up by himself, and he was only a little crippled, as long as he made up for the missing part by making meritorious service, then they could immediately make a breakthrough.
For those who have made meritorious contributions, Liu Xuan will not be stingy.
In addition, he is not afraid that these people will use the completed exercises to give their 'compatriots', because people are selfish, especially those with vested interests, they don't think about what others do.
Maybe they will help their fellow citizens, but it is absolutely impossible to share the benefits that they have worked so hard to obtain.
sorted out his thoughts, and then told Sun Shangxiang little by little, and when he was all finished, there was no place on Sun Shangxiang that was not messy.
"Do you want to tell Sun Ce and Zhou Yu now?"
The flush on his face became more and more obvious, and although his breathing did not become short, he could speak intermittently.
Seeing her like this, Liu Xuan took it directly with his big hand: "This is not in a hurry, anyway, the integration of the Germanic people is not something that can be solved overnight, let them be busy first, and then go over when some things are ready here!"
After a pause, Liu Xuan remembered that he wanted to teach those Germanic people, Sun Shangxiang and none of them were suitable, but this was really difficult for him, and it happened that he had a guest here, which was very suitable for this kind of thing.
"Also, I'll let Diocletian come with you first when I pass this time!"
That's right, it was the former ruler of the Roman Empire, and now he has become Liu Xuan's 'believer'.
