Money was only one aspect of raising one's fighting strength. Next, Xiao Letian had access to a divine technique that no one in this era had, and that was the historical knowledge brought about by transmigrators. In Xiao Letian's mind, he knew the history of the weapons of this era. He knew what kind of weapon system would be tested by the war, there was no need to think about it, he could just use the mature plan.
In a few years, the German Mauser's rifle will begin to appear. This will be the mainstream of future infantry weapons, Xiao Letian will definitely not let it go, and he will definitely not let it go, including the development of ships in the ocean. Weapons dealers of this era had chosen the wrong opponent to trick him.
With money and foresight, coupled with the fact that countless loyal young men squeezed their way out of the way and wanted to join them, Xiao Letian's recruitment process was destined to be extremely smooth.
”Brothers, I brought you all out from Tanggu. Half of the more than sixty good brothers died in battle and half of them were disabled. In the celebration dinner, Xiao Letian raised his wine cup and felt dejected. The first cup of wine fell onto the ground, in memory of the dead.
When the deaths were mentioned, all of the brothers broke out in tears. Even though that tyrannical battle had won, the price it had paid was still quite heavy. The casualty ratio had actually reached half.
”But, brothers, now is not the time for us to stop and rest. Don't think that a bully is the end of our career. ”Masters, from tomorrow onwards, you will form groups of three or three. Each of you will be accompanied by a company. You will be the most basic military officers …”
Of the thirty elites that Xiao Letian was talking about, half of them were musketeers led by Luo Huo, and the other half was Green Forest Special Task Force that Xiao Letian had formed. This was all personally trained by Xiao Letian. It could be said that he had undergone his initial military training by the Western Way, allowing them to form groups of three, three, and a company of 90 people.
The ten companies were the starting point of Xiao Letian's career, he had to train these thousand men into military officers. Whether it was for the future expansion of the army or secretly adding sand into the Qing Dynasty's army, these loyal young men were all treasures.
Xiao Letian looked at his brothers who were still enjoying the feast with shining eyes and smiled slightly, ”Don't be excited yet, what I want is not to become a soldier and to eat. What I want is a group of officers who can read words clearly, I have a huge mission for you guys in the future. Now do you know why I kept forcing you to read and write? ”
It was only now that the brothers understood why Xiao Letian had chosen all the personal guards to be the first criteria for learning how to read and write. It turned out that the master was actually hiding his secret here, and wanted to train all of the personal guards into military officers! In an instant, that possibility that everyone had discussed in secret appeared in front of them.
[My lord actually wants to rebel. He really wants to be independent!] At this moment, everyone's blood was boiling, and a few of them could not hold it in and were about to jump up.
Xiao Letian had already developed a very strong sense of hegemony, and with a single glance, he suppressed all of the restless mood during the banquet. He put down his wine cup and said coldly, ”Tomorrow, you will go down to choose your soldiers. Remember to eat and live with everyone, and teach them what is left and right, and what is formation, and what is discipline. ”Not only that, I'll also find Instructor Yang to teach you Western fighting techniques in the future …”
”Hehe, today is your last day of relaxation. From tomorrow on, you will have to cry!”
All of Xiao Letian's personal guards suddenly stood up from the tatami. ”Even if you die with me, you aren't afraid of being tired? ”In this life, it's worth it to be able to stay with you and pacify the capital of a country. In this life, I'll be able to stay with you!” After saying that, everyone looked up and downed the wine in their cups.
Xiao Letian lifted his hand and pressed them down, telling them to sit down. He turned his head around and realized that General Liang Kun's expression was a little lonely. Xiao Letian knew what he was thinking and went over to toast him. General Liang Kun raised his cup with both hands and quickly said he didn't dare to.
”General Liang Kun, are you afraid that I would forget about your achievements and that of your brothers?” Xiao Letian teased.
”I dare not, dare not. Honestly, I did look down on you when you came to the Tyrant. I always thought you were just a lucky man who coveted the position of power. But I am convinced by this battle. I've lived for most of my life and have never seen a scholar who was able to charge to the top. You really have the guts to risk your life! ”
”I, Liang Kun, admire heroes all my life. From today onwards, the lives of my brothers and I will be sold to you. I hope you don't mind!” With that, Liang Kun kneeled on the ground.
Xiao Letian did not help him in any way and only said calmly, ”Don't think too much about it. I did not arrange for you and your comrades to join the military officer team. If you want to work with me, then listen to me. Forget about your past achievements.
”You will be separated and integrated into a company. Start with the soldiers and slowly learn from them.” You are all veterans, so you must learn new tactics very quickly. I believe that sooner or later you will be able to take responsibility for yourselves.
Liang Kun and his army officers had already given up all hope. This battle had allowed them to get to know Xiao Letian, and all the doubts they had about him disappeared without a trace.
”We are willing to die for our lord!” The group prostrated themselves on the ground.
At this time, Xiao Letian turned his gaze back to Yepingtai and the others who were dressed in uniform. With just that one glance, he had swept past the group of Japanese s, who suddenly grew taller, standing straight and upright.
Hehe, these Japanese soldiers really care too much about their work, but these soldiers with desires are the best.
