I want to be emperor

Chapter 732 Indian Legion
Lehar, who was selected to join the Indian Army, was very excited, which made him see the hope of completely getting rid of the poor and humble life in the past, so as to live a normal life.

It also made him see the hope of revenge in the future!

He has never forgotten the suffering he has suffered in his hometown.

Especially his sister who died tragically!

Whenever he thinks of his sister when he left home, he can't help the hatred in his heart. He hates his father who sold his sister for money to treat his injuries, and also hates why he didn't just die at that time!

If he was directly beaten to death at that time, then the father would not have chosen to sell his sister for money to heal himself.

And he hates those monks and landlord officials who are high in his hometown even more!
Because Lehar believes that the ultimate source of all the tragedies in himself and his family is because of their cruelty!

Just because his shadow fell on a monk, he ruined his family.

why?
Lehar has been asking himself that question a lot over the past few years, and he finally found the answer.

It's all because of the many rules specified by those high caste people, many rules that oppress them, the untouchables.

After all, arming cannon fodder also takes time and energy, and now it is the middle and late seventeenth century, even the equipment level of the indigenous countries is not too bad, no matter how bad it is, there is an arquebus!
If the Indian Legion fought with matchlock guns and spears, it might not be able to beat the indigenous army!

There are relatively large restrictions on selling out, but it is definitely no problem to equip your own servants and mercenaries. The Western Trading Company has a lot of this kind of western flintlock guns in stock, which can be used directly.

The military and political officers of the Great Chu Empire are very familiar with this method. They have played it with their own people for more than [-] years, and now they can naturally play it with the natives.

Lehar didn't know that the canned meat they shared with a group of people this evening was the "Donglin brand special flavored canned meat" that has become quite famous in several indigenous countries in Southeast Asia in the past one or two years. '.

It was their rules, their existence that led to the tragedy of their own family.

Because you eat less, the various additives in it are naturally of no great use. After all, even real poisons have to pay attention to dosage, let alone just some additives!

That night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"Yeah, the clothes alone are worth it. Even if I die in a war, I will live my life in vain. At least I also wear clothes made of fine Chinese cloth!"

To be honest, the Chu army was reluctant to give this kind of good food to the indigenous soldiers!

Putting on a grayish-yellow military uniform and touching his bare head, Lehar had a reborn smile on his face.

"It's like a dream. This is the first time in my life that I'm wearing unpatched clothes. And look at the fabric, it's soft and warm. It should be the best Chinese cloth. I heard that this kind of high-quality cloth Huabu is so precious, in the past almost everyone in our village could afford it!"

Why is there only more than 600 people in the Indian Legion? It is not because the establishment is not enough, the cost is too high, etc., but because after selection, there are only more than 600 indigenous soldiers who meet the conditions.

Therefore, Donglin brand canned special-flavored meat continues to be popular in overseas markets, and there are not many consumers who eat it wrong. Occasionally, there are a few... What does your own illness have to do with my canned food?
A can of Donglin brand special fragrant meat made the more than forty indigenous soldiers including Laihar endless aftertaste. At the same time, they also had a more intuitive understanding of the power of the Great Chu Empire.

And most consumers don't eat much, which is also a major reason why Donglin brand special flavored canned meat is very popular in overseas markets, but they don't eat dead people.

Even in China, the price of this kind of canned meat is not cheap.

As for thorns, stubbles and the like, don't worry about that!

From today on, he, Lehar, is no longer a pariah in the Indian countryside, but a first-class soldier of the Indian Legion, the most powerful country in the world, a non-staffed army of the Great Chu Empire Army.

And Lehar and the others naturally didn't know these considerations above, they just felt that they were lucky to be able to join the Indian Army and live a good life.

And the natives who can really afford to eat a lot, they don't need to eat these canned meat, they can directly eat all kinds of fresh and delicious meat.

The prototype of this thing, the two-year-style flintlock gun, was no longer used by the militia in the Great Chu Empire... It is currently only used for export.

"Not only tonight, but also in the future. I've asked. In the future, our army will have three meals a day and two dry meals. We will still be able to eat meat after a while!"

Now that he has joined the Indian Legion, with the support of Chu people behind him, maybe he can return to his hometown one day. At that time, he will take those high-caste people who oppressed him in the past, whether they are officials or monks. , All hacked to death one by one.

Xiyang Trading Company saw that this thing is very popular in Nanyang, so this year they also chose to buy a batch and brought it to India.

Here, he can laugh out loud and talk out loud!
When walking, you don't have to worry about your shadow falling on others, and you will be beaten severely.

And even the canned meat used by the Chu army, it is impossible for the indigenous soldiers of the Indian army to eat.

They can't afford to...

After all, when Western Trade sells this kind of canned Donglin brand special fragrant meat, it is not cheap. Even if the local Indians are those Sudra families, they may not be able to eat it often, let alone the untouchables. .

Although the Indian Legion is only a servant soldier formally recruited and formed by the military, the Western Trading Company has long recruited a small number of local natives to use as cannon fodder, but the scale is not large.

So in the end, I used a batch of canned Donglin brand special fragrant meat from Xiyang Trading Company, which was cheaper.

To have a full meal is their most urgent need!
And the military and political officers of the Chu army are obviously very clear about this... So on the first day of the establishment of the Indian Army, they did not preach any great principles or policies.

"Not only are there clothes to wear, but also the food is so good, there are even slices of meat for dinner, woo woo... This is the best meal I've ever had in my life!"

Not only him, but many other indigenous soldiers who were selected to join the Indian Army like him also couldn't sleep.

However, even if it is this kind of western flintlock gun for export, every export needs domestic approval, and not just any indigenous country can buy this kind of flintlock gun.

Regardless of the future, he is also very satisfied with the treatment he has received after joining the Indian Legion. Right after he joined, he and the other 600 soldiers of the Indian Legion who were selected were taken to wash and shaved off their hair , Abandoned the tattered dirty clothes, and then changed into a gray-yellow military uniform.

This kind of military uniform is actually not the standard military uniform of the army, navy or guards of the Great Chu Empire, but the uniform specially prepared by the Western Trading Company for foreign mercenaries.

When the Chu army selected people, they did not jump around at random, but carefully selected from among the [-] to [-] aboriginal soldiers. Every aboriginal soldier here was more or less obtained from the Chu army's management of soldiers. Agree, this can be recommended and joined.

Therefore, military and political work is generally relatively easy to do.

In order to obtain this batch of flintlock guns, the Ottoman Empire leased many coastal ports to the Western Trading Company, and opened up some markets, allowing the mechanism cloth of the Great Chu Empire to enter the market of the Ottoman Empire.

Those who are thorny or too flexible have no chance to join, let alone make trouble.

Lehar also answered at this time: "The canned meat is so delicious tonight...it is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life!"

In addition to flintlock guns, there are export-type plate armor, export-type light artillery and other export weapons and equipment.

Send out military uniforms, meals, and even canned meat.

Don't count on servants like the Indian Legion... To put it bluntly, a can of pure meat brought from the mainland is worth more than a native soldier!

In addition, several indigenous countries in Nanyang that belong to the puppet states of the Great Chu Empire have purchased, but not many, only a few hundred to one or two thousand, mainly because in the past, the Great Chu Empire had relatively strict control over these things. , if the quantity is large, the empire will not sell...

He saw the hope of revenge!
With this belief, he is looking forward to the future after joining the Indian Army.

In the past few days, because of the establishment of the Indian Army, it is only necessary to replenish a batch of military supplies, and it is necessary to get some meat to open the eyes of these indigenous servant soldiers... The Chu army has experience and understanding in this regard. If you want to conquer a new soldier, The best way is to let them eat meat... Whether it is recruiting domestic soldiers or recruiting indigenous mercenaries abroad, this trick has been tried and tested, and it works very well.

He, Lehar, the son of a pariah, was the first time in his 18 years of life to hold his head upright and behave in an upright manner.

This is a powerful empire that can give canned meat to a group of pariahs like them!
And with such a powerful empire, I dare not say that the future is not promising, but I will definitely be able to live with enough food, and even live a good life as a master.

In terms of equipment, the Chu army is relatively willing, and will not say that these servants deliberately use cold weapons or matchlock guns.

Therefore, Donglin brand special canned meat, even if it goes overseas, is actually a consumer product for the middle class, and it is still a light luxury consumer product. Most people actually don’t eat much.

But these aborigines overseas, including the aborigines on the Indian side, obviously have no chance to eat more canned Donglin special flavor meat.

At the same time, with enough food and clothing, plus a little salary subsidy, these people will not dare to talk nonsense no matter how hard or tired they are in the next few days!
According to Major General Bai Zhen's positioning of this indigenous servant army, this servant army will first be equipped with cold weapons, some flintlock guns and light artillery.

After all, the army and navy themselves are not willing to eat real canned meat when they have nothing to do, so they only take it out to eat some when they have combat missions like this.

In just a few days, just looking at the appearance, the equipment level of the Indian Legion has directly surpassed a large number of armies of various indigenous countries... Even the so-called Imperial Guards built by the Ottoman Empire at a huge cost are not as good in terms of equipment. Indian Legion.

The Western flintlock is also the only flintlock in the Great Chu Empire that is specially used for export. It is improved from the early two-year-style flintlock. The all-weather firing rate is 70.00%. It seems that the firing rate is not high, but it is still higher The flintlock guns produced by a European country are much stronger.

All weapons and equipment are all kinds of export equipment in the Great Chu Empire. For example, the flintlock gun is the "Western flintlock gun" that was exported to the Ottoman Empire before.

This thing is expensive, but it is full of serious pork or beef, mutton, and fish, and it is high-temperature sterilization without additives.

Pull out the benefits first, calm or hang these people, and then you can talk about the big truth and play brainwashing.

As for the canned Donglin brand special fragrant meat, if a person is allowed to eat it openly, there is a high probability that he will die from eating it... If you eat it regularly, eating it for a long time will also cause some problems in your body.

Although the more than 600 indigenous soldiers who joined the Indian Legion were all untouchables, most of them, or the reason for joining the Indian Legion except for Lehar, was simple: the treatment given by the Chu Army was good enough!
Even for Lehar, part of his reason for joining the Indian Army was for revenge, but more of the reason, like other untouchable soldiers, was just to have enough food.

No one around would care whether he was a pariah or not, the chiefs of those Chu people didn't care, and the comrades around him were all from pariah background, let alone cared.

Even the indigenous countries that are eligible to purchase have to pay a huge price in order to obtain these advanced flintlock guns.

He wants to resist, he wants revenge!
Even when he was the only one with a rusty hatchet on his body before, he held this belief, so he wandered around the temple and killed five monks in a row.

Most of them are sold to local aborigines, and a few are supplied to some aboriginal mercenaries under the Western Trading Company as emergency military supplies.

Damn them all!
All be damned!

This is relatively cheap. In fact, even Donglin brand canned meat, which has been ordered to ban sales in the mainland of the Great Chu Empire and overseas territories, is not cheap overseas...

The Indian Legion also had the opportunity to try something new on the first day. In the days to come, unless there is an emergency combat mission and the supply is not normal, it is impossible to even eat this kind of special canned meat.

But it is obviously impossible to feed the native soldiers of the Indian Legion real fresh meat... The soldiers of the Chu Army don't even have to eat it themselves. Can only eat canned meat...

And what's the use of a servant army that can't even be done by the natives?
However, the armed cannon fodder servant army cannot be equipped too well. On the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, it is to avoid any problems with these servant army in the future.

Their own regular army needs to maintain an absolute advantage over these servants in terms of equipment and even tactics, otherwise there will be too many troubles in the future.

After finalizing the equipment and other basic affairs, the Indian Army can be regarded as initially established, and the next step is to carry out continuous training and gradually form combat effectiveness.

Lehar also knew at this time that the officials of the Chu State will select some of the outstanding soldiers to be promoted to corporals and serve as captains of each team. Lehar is very excited about this!
