After hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction.

Perhaps, this is a good way.

Hiring foreign legions can obtain a good number of combat forces at an extremely low price.

More importantly, the soldiers of the Great Qin State not only had high salaries, but also paid pensions to their families after they died in battle.

But mercenaries are not needed.

only……

Training is also an issue.

After all, although the poisonous body is cheap, its combat effectiveness is worrying!

The average height of a poisonous person is only about 150 centimeters, and their physique is not very good.

More importantly, they are almost all untrained civilians. Give them a gun and send them to the battlefield like ducks on the shelf. The final result can be imagined.

When the time comes, the enemy will charge, and the poisonous mercenaries here will throw away their helmets and armor!

Anyway, they are not fighting for their own country, but fighting for money, and they will not fight desperately.

After thinking for a long time, Ying Zigao still couldn't think of any solution.

Now, the only way is to step up the recruitment of poisonous mercenaries, and then go through a year of systematic training.

The training content not only includes physical fitness and fighting skills, but also teaches them a sense of honor.

Although it is a foreign legion, they all ultimately served the Great Qin.

Therefore, Ying Zigao felt that it was still necessary for them to pick up a sense of honor and fight for it.

Therefore, Ying Zigao simply looked at Zheng He and said, "I will give you twenty airships. Within three months, I will see one hundred thousand poisonous men ready in the guard station thirty kilometers west of Xianyang."

"In addition, I have another requirement. The recruitment of mercenaries must be strictly screened. Those with a height of less than 1.6 meters cannot be accepted."

After hearing this, Zheng He nodded and said, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao took a deep breath, solved a big problem, and felt a lot more relaxed.

However, the matter of the Foreign Legion is far from that simple.

I still need a lot of preparation.

In order for a foreign legion to have a sense of honor and not be defeated in one blow on the battlefield, I still need to do a lot of preparatory work.

Ying Zigao decided to go out in person to train those foreign soldiers.

At this time, Zhao Yun on the side suddenly said: "By the way, Your Majesty, you said... it will take one year to train that foreign legion?"

After hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded and said, "What? Do you have objections?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Ah, no, Your Majesty, I just feel that..."

"It takes us a year to train a team of mercenaries, isn't that... unreasonable?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the general is not questioning your decision, but the general feels that they are all mercenaries anyway, and if they die in battle, they will die in battle."

"We don't need to give pensions to the families of mercenaries."

After hearing this, Ying Zigao slowly shook his head and said, "It's not like this."

"Zhao Yun, let me tell you, a war is definitely not as simple as you imagined."

"Although it is true that we don't feel sorry for the death of these [-] poisonous people, but have you ever thought about the consequences of their death?"

"If we go to war with the Tianluo people, then the [-] troops who are poisoned will definitely serve as important frontline jobs."

"When the time comes, they are dead, and the defense line they are stationing will be broken through. Wouldn't the enemy be able to double-team us?"

"Whether they die or not has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I paid the money, and they should fight to the death for me!"

"But the crux of the problem is not here, but that their death will cause great harm to us!"

After Zhao Yun heard this, he suddenly realized!
He nodded slowly.

But after a long time, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "No, Your Majesty, I still think this method is inappropriate."

Ying Zigao came to Zhao Yun's side with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Zhao Yun's worry was also what Ying Zigao was worried about before.

Before, Ying Zigao also had this doubt in his heart.

He also thought about training these poisonous people for a year!
Although the salary is not high, only one tael of silver is needed a year, and 10 people are only 10 taels.

But the problem is that during the year of training them, he was not allowed to provide food?

Food and grass for 10 people is not a small amount.

In addition, in addition to these, don't training them also need ammunition?

Taking into account the wear and tear of the rifle, it would cost him two or three million silver.

However, Ying Zigao knew that he had to do this.

The cost of feeding a foreign legion is far lower than feeding the Daqin army.

But it is not easy to cultivate a foreign army with strong combat effectiveness.

Ying Zigao knew this.

Didn't Francie after 2000 also have his own foreign legion?They also spent a lot of money to raise a foreign legion.

But its combat effectiveness is obvious to all.

It is even stronger than the fighting power of France's native army.

Although the foreign legion was not loyal to Francie in name, everyone had a strong sense of pride and honor!

They were fighting for the Foreign Legion, not Francie.

This is where people are smart.

Ying Zigao also intends to take advantage of this and tell them that they are not fighting for the Great Qin Empire, but for themselves!For their army!
It is necessary to cultivate a sense of responsibility and collective honor in an army.

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao nodded, thinking, it's decided!
Therefore, Ying Zigao looked at Zheng He and said, "Okay, Zheng He, you should prepare now!"

"correct!"

Just as Zheng He was about to turn around and leave, Ying Zigao suddenly thought of something, so he quickly stopped Zheng He and said, "By the way, Zheng He, didn't you say before that the envoys sent by the Tianluo people would arrive soon?"

Zheng He nodded, then fiddled with his fingers in vain, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, they will arrive in about a month."

"However, the envoys from Tianluo are not the only ones who came to Xianyang, but also envoys sent by Athens, Persian envoys, etc."

"Approximately, envoys from 35 countries will arrive in Xianyang in a month's time."

Ying Zigao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go to work first!"

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng He turned his head and left.

Ying Zigao looked at Zhao Yun at this time and said, "General Zhao, regarding the matter of training you for the foreign army, I will go to train you in person, and you just take your soldiers with you."

"We have one year of preparation time, one year, no more, no less, no less."

"In short, you have to train your soldiers well."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Yes! Your Majesty! I will definitely go through fire and water! I will die!"
