"Boom!"

Therefore, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, the Huns in the audience immediately let out a burst of exclamation. In fact, there is no need to say that Gao Yuan, everyone also knows that this is their own fate, because in the grassland, such things are too commonplace. It's just that in the past, they captured the people of other steppe peoples and made them their own slaves, but now it is their turn to become the slaves of others.

But they didn't expect that the plateau would give them another way out, that is, to become soldiers and participate in battles. The Huns were originally warriors, and did not reject fighting, if they could fight through guò and fight bravely to change their lives, the vast majority of Huns were willing.

In fact, this situation is also very common in the grassland, because the population of each tribe in the grassland is not large, so after defeating other tribes, if there is no deep hatred with the other party, the population of other tribes will generally be incorporated into their own tribe to expand the population size of their own tribe. In fact, the current Xiongnu, including the later Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian and other northern nomadic peoples, were all strengthened by this kind of annexation. Therefore, the Huns did not feel that there was anything wrong with becoming an army on the plateau, anyway, it was better to fight for whom to eat than to die of coolies.

After the Huns calmed down a little, Gao Yuan continued: "If you want to become my soldier or not, you can do it yourself, I don't force it, but after becoming a soldier, you will no longer be a slave, nor do you have to do hard labor, but you must obey my orders, participate in training, and respect the military rules I have formulated. If you want to fight bravely on the battlefield and make military achievements, you can be rewarded, get gold, land, and be promoted to higher positions. So take your pick. ”

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately said: "I am willing to be a soldier." "I'm going to be a soldier too." The Xiongnu men in the audience hurriedly shouted one after another, but the women were silent, although in the Xiongnu tribe, women are also able to fight, but it is not the time when it is absolutely necessary, and women will not be allowed to go to the battlefield.

After the Huns in the audience shouted for a while, Gao Yuan said: "Okay, after a while, someone will come to you to accept the registration, whether it is men, women and children, you can sign up, from tomorrow, you will participate in the assessment test in batches, but only those who pass the assessment can become soldiers." ”

After Gao Yuan finished speaking, a Hun woman on the stage immediately said: "Can women also sign up?"

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you can pass my assessment test, you can become a soldier." ”

Someone else asked: "If a woman becomes a soldier, can she get the same gold and land as a man?" ”

Gao Yuan nodded again and said, "Yes, as long as you fight bravely on the battlefield and set up the battlefield, the rewards are the same, and the rate of men and women is equal." After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the women in the audience also let out a burst of cheers, in fact, among the Xiongnu women, there are also many people who can fight well and not lose to the men, of course, they also hope to change their lives by their own force.

Then someone came to the Huns, counted the people who signed up, and the results were very surging, almost all the men, even the elderly, and children also signed up for the assessment, and there were a lot of women who signed up, anyway, whether they could pass the assessment or not, they also had to give it a try. Only a few people who are too young or too young, and it is estimated that they are people who have signed up and have no drama, so they did not sign up.

The final number of people who signed up was close to 30,000, and from the next day, the Huns who signed up were assessed, in fact, the content of the assessment is nothing more than weightlifting, bowing, running, long jump, tree climbing and other basic items, generally speaking, as long as it is a strong young man, you can pass these assessments, and even some old people with outstanding physique or thirteen or fourteen-year-old children can also pass guò, but for women, the difficulty of reaching the standard is also higher, Only a few women with good physicos can pass the guò assessment.

After ten days of testing, a total of 7,357 Xiongnu men were tested, the oldest of whom was 55 years old, and the youngest was only 13 years old. There are only 1,178 women and children in the Tongguò assessment, the oldest of whom is only in their thirties, and the youngest who are over 20 years old. Of course, all the Huns who passed the guò examination were also incorporated into the army. It's just that men and women have their own separate armies, and the women's army is under the command of Li Yinghong, and the plateau is only in charge of the men's army.

The name of the male army is named Fan Yongjun, which belongs to the commander of the Wu'an Legion, plus the people of these grassland peoples such as Ah Ran Shi Qimo and Tabby, a total of 7,572 people, and Jiang Huan Wu is being appointed, which is an all-cavalry army.

However, although the Fan Yong Army was established, it could not immediately form combat effectiveness, and it was not enough to do it for the soldiers, but to determine the establishment of the Fan Yong Army and the officers at all levels, and it was not possible to complete it in a short period of time. The establishment of the Fan Yong Army is still according to the establishment of 50, but because the Fan Yong Army is basically an army composed of Huns, the plateau does not plan to transfer personnel from other armies to the Fan Yong Army to serve as officers at all levels, but from within the Fan Yong Army, through the guò archery, horsemanship, cavalry and other subjects of the assessment and competition, by the outstanding people to serve. It's going to take a lot of time.

After the army is organized, it is necessary to conduct training in arrays and tactics, and in addition, it is necessary for each soldier to learn to speak the Chinese language, at least be able to have simple conversations, understand military orders, and memorize military discipline and regulations, etc., these things cannot be done in a few months. Fortunately, there is no imminent battle yet, so you don't need to rush for a while, you can take your time. And after these things are done, the Fan Yong Army will officially form its combat effectiveness, and it will be an army with extremely high combat effectiveness, after all, the basic elements of every soldier are there.

However, although these Hun soldiers were freed from the status of slaves, they did not receive the treatment of regular soldiers, and now each Hun soldier can only get a very low military salary, and has no own residence, all live in the barracks, and every day the food is provided by the army. Even if officers at all levels are selected, they are temporarily appointed, but they only help the peacetime management of the army, and there is no corresponding title, and the military salary is only a little more than that of other soldiers, and it is less than an ordinary soldier to get more.

On the one hand, this is because the soldiers of the Fan Yong Army are basically just transferred from slavery, and it is impossible to raise the treatment to the same as other soldiers at once. On the other hand, you can't let these Hun soldiers go too loose, you can turn from slaves to soldiers, you don't have to do coolies, you have a very good experience, you can't give them too much good at once, if you want to live a good life, you need to rely on your own efforts.

Jiang Huanwu's promotion to the chief general of the first army can be in charge, and the number of troops is more than half of the other armies, but the other generals have no objections, after all, in these battles, Jiang Huanwu played a pivotal role, although Jiang Huanwu rarely charged, beheaded and captured the flag, but provided accurate and timely information for the command and deployment of the plateau, and the role was not lost at all to the battlefield on the battlefield.

And in the eyes of others, the Fan Yong Army is actually a mess, it is composed of a group of barbarians, who do not understand etiquette, do not know how to educate, such an army is not easy to command, the main general of the Fan Yong Army seems to be beautiful, but in fact he is sitting on a volcanic crater. Many people have asked themselves in their hearts, if they change their position to sit in that position, it is really difficult to say whether they can suppress this group of barbarians. Therefore, many people sweated for Jiang Huanwu.

However, Gao Yuan has full confidence in Jiang Huanwu, in fact, it is not difficult to subdue the Huns, after all, these Hun soldiers are all converted from captives, and the edges and corners have been smoothed out a lot, so as long as the main general is strong and strong enough, and this aspect is also Jiang Huanwu's biggest advantage.

And after Jiang Huanwu was promoted, the position of commander he left behind also took over by Ling Feng. At the same time, Gao Yuan also decided to separate this army from the Shengjie army and form a separate army, because Gao Yuan was very aware of the importance of collecting intelligence on the battlefield, and only by forming this army into a single army could it play a better role.

This army was numbered as the Scout Army, under the direct command of the legion, with a number of 1,500 men, divided into five and three hundred guards, but the rank was one level lower than that of the other armies, and the main general was still a commander of a thousand, but the salary was one percent more than that of officers and soldiers of the same rank. It is mainly responsible for defending, reconnaissance, infiltrating, pathfinding, assassination, raiding, etc., in fact, it is to form training according to the standards of special forces, and the scout army is not only for the Wu'an Legion, when other legions go to war, they can also draw a 300 guards from the scout army.

In fact, even in the past, the scout army has never been full, before the assault on Yinshan, the whole army was less than 700 people, but after the tempering of these battles, these soldiers have also become qualified scouts, spies, and have a certain amount of actual combat experience, so there is also a basis for further expansion of the army, Gao Yuan also ordered Ling Feng to select soldiers among the soldiers of each army, make up for the number of scout troops, and then conduct corresponding training, as long as the selected soldiers themselves are willing, all their troops must be released.

Although he had long known that he would take over the position left by Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng did not expect that the scout army would form an army independently, and the number would be expanded by half, although he was still a commander in rank, but he was actually half a level higher than other commanders, so he was also very happy, and he took office happily and formed a scout army.
