Black Iron Crown

It is not without reason that Reiner did this. The sense of honor and pride of soldiers has a great effect on combat effectiveness. If all soldiers in an army do not have a sense of honor and are not proud of their identities, then this army is a An army without a soul.

Even if they are equipped with top-level equipment, they will not have super combat effectiveness.

This can be seen from the large army of Lena's previous life. Their equipment is almost armed to the teeth, but they are still retreating steadily when facing the Liao people and the Jin people.

what is the reason? It's just because the most important forbidden army is full of unlearned and incompetent family members, coupled with the social environment that emphasizes civility over military, the soldiers at that time were ashamed of their identities.

Later, the profession that should have been revered here as a soldier began to have a new name: bandit army. Later, there was even a saying that it was so difficult not to be a soldier, so it was hard to nail it. How could such an army have combat effectiveness? ? It is precisely because of this that the shame of Jingkang happened later.

Reiner is definitely a warning. As a medieval lord, the army is obviously the force he relies on the most, not to mention that Earl Zhebo is still eyeing him. Although he has been defeated by him, once he relaxes his vigilance, he will still have something to worry about. little threat.

Raising the salaries of soldiers is only the first step, and the entry threshold for Leiner's army will also be very high. Anyway, raising soldiers requires a lot of wealth, and he keeps the policy of elite soldiers to save money for himself.

The threshold is higher, it is more difficult to join the army, the treatment is better, and the salary is higher, which will make the soldiers feel proud of their identity, not to mention that now Lehner's army has experienced several victories , The pride in his fighting power in his heart is even more overwhelming.

Pursing his lips, after the village chief announced his dismissal, Kerim returned to his home full of thoughts. His left wrist still hurt a little. He didn't know whether the baron's orders included wounded soldiers like himself.

Picking up a spear standing in the corner of the wall, he kept stroking the barrel of the spear in his hand. The spear seemed to be full of scars, and even the front tip of the spear had a few curled edges. .

It was this long spear that helped him kill three enemies on the battlefield and get the present reward.

His wife had just returned from inspecting the fields, and she really saw her frowning husband when she returned home. She couldn't help but walked up and gently held Kerim's waist, and asked, "What's the matter? The village chief said what happened?"

"He said that Lord Baron wants to recruit us militiamen who have been on the battlefield before, saying that he wants to incorporate all of us into the regular army..."

"Isn't that a good thing? That's great! Wasn't your grandfather a soldier under the command of the baron? Otherwise, where did our family come from as a self-cultivator? Although there is a lot less arable land with my father, this self-cultivator Didn’t your identity and the strong physique you have acquired since childhood come from your grandfather’s hard work on the battlefield?”

Kerim's wife immediately became elated when she heard the news, and couldn't help but recount the past events at home.

"But... my wrist is injured, what kind of person will the baron want from me?" Kerim was a little uncertain. Of course he knew the benefits of joining the regular army, but he just couldn't figure out whether he was eligible. Standards compliant.

"Why not? After all, you are also a person who participated in the battle! This is not a wound that will be disabled for the rest of your life, it just needs more than a month to heal! Think about Kerim,

As soon as you join the army, our family can get 20 acres of arable land, plus the 30 acres of arable land you got from killing three enemies before, this has already made up for all the arable land our family lost during my father's time! "

His wife stared into Kerim's eyes, and felt a little dissatisfied with his indecision. After all, being able to join the army is something that can change fate for the people of Fort Moreland.

When the baron was expanding his army for the first time, he announced the treatment of the regular army: "After officially enlisting in the army, there is no need for soldiers to bear any supplies, and you can get 20 acres of arable land. If you kill the enemy on the battlefield, each person will be rewarded with 10 acres of arable land and five acres. A copper, a 20% annual tax cut, and you can hunt in the forest in the territory like a hunter."

This kind of treatment is really nothing in the eyes of people of later generations, but for the same generation, this is definitely the top treatment in the world.

After all, the regular army of other lords has only a very meager salary except that they don’t need to undertake farm work and carry supplies. All income depends on the spoils on the battlefield or extortion from neighbors on weekdays, or Methods such as stealing chickens and dogs to maintain life.

But Reiner doesn't need it. What he wants is to let the soldiers have no worries about food and clothing, and hone their combat skills without any distractions. At the same time, they don't need to worry about the future on the battlefield.

If it is like the army under the command of other lords, not only will the soul of the army be shattered by firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, but it will also make them develop the habit of unclean hands and feet, so Leiner does not hesitate to spend a huge price to cultivate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Sense of honor, or military spirit.

"Well, it's my fault. I will go to the baron's castle to gather in two days. I hope the adults will take me in..."

After teasing his four-year-old son, his heart was filled with anticipation. If he really became a regular soldier, then his son would surely be able to grow up without worrying about food and clothing. Maybe he could pass the Abundant food grows very strong, even stronger than himself. When the time comes, he will spend money to make him a knight's squire. If he is lucky, his family may be able to complete the class counterattack within three generations.

Two days later, the militiamen scattered in various villages gathered in Fort Moland like rivers flowing into the sea.

More than 20 tents have already been set up, and Sir Corder is responsible for gathering them together. Although Fort Moreland has undergone upgrades, it is still a military castle after all, and there are not many places for them to gather and train.

They were to live in these tents until Sir Corder finished reorganizing them and handed everything over to Sir Ryland.

"Hello...my name is Kerim..." Kerim introduced himself shyly to the other eight people in the same tent. They have been assigned to a team by Sir Codd, and they are future comrades in arms. Because the original staff distribution was disrupted as much as possible, most of the soldiers gradually became strangers to each other.

"You too..." Everyone didn't have any experience in communication, and could only communicate with Kerim dryly to get acquainted with each other.
