Entering the military camp, Zhang Xiao's eyes fell on the Bedouin soldiers who voluntarily stayed. By this time, they had already gathered on the playground, and followed the instructions of the Imperial Army instructors, forming an untidy queue.
After all, they were not regular army soldiers of the empire, so the queue seemed sparse.
However, Zhang Xiao would not be so strict with them.
Getting off the back of the camel, Zhang Xiao walked silently in front of the queue, then came to the front of the queue and stood facing them.
All eyes were focused on Zhang Xiao, and the whole scene seemed very quiet.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xiao finally spoke loudly: "I personally welcome and thank you all for volunteering to stay and fight alongside us. Now that the tribes have left, it can be said that we have no worries. This is a great opportunity for us." A good thing."
"Although the three major tribes are very powerful, I don't take them seriously." Zhang Xiao's next words caused a slight commotion among the soldiers who voluntarily stayed.
¡°His words, in the eyes of these people, are a little too high and mighty.
People like them know very well how strong the three major tribes are.
They also know how many soldiers and horses Zhang Xiao has brought. This is not a secret at all.
¡°With only an army of 4,000 men, but with such a loud tone, is it possible that he is really an arrogant lunatic?
Some people have even felt that staying here was not the right choice and have deeply regretted it.
Ignoring the commotion, Zhang Xiao just raised his hand to make everyone quiet.
Immediately, Farie, who was standing beside Zhang Xiao, scolded everyone loudly, making them gradually quiet down.
"Don't make any noise! ??Let the general finish what he has to say!"
The only daughter of the leader of the Bagir tribe, she is a strange girl from the Bedouin Cuman tribe. Her reputation is not small.
And among the remaining Bedouin warriors, Farie has the most distinguished status. Everyone could still obey her words.
With Farie¡¯s help, the little commotion was finally calmed down, and the quiet scene returned to normal.
"I know you may think I'm an idiot or a lunatic. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said such mindless words, right?" The expression on Zhang Xiao's face was very indifferent, and there was no way she could tell. Angry or angry means.
Farie was also observing secretly. She found that Zhang Xiao seemed not to be angry at all, as if the commotion just now did not affect him at all.
If this is true, then you can breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, people like myself are here to stay. In the future, we will fight with them against the three major tribes, so if the relationship is not good, the impact will be very big.
Faced with Zhang Xiao¡¯s question, no one responded.
However, everyone¡¯s eyes looked over.
"It's normal for you to have such thoughts. If I were in your shoes, I would actually have the same thoughts as you, and even ask you to think more." Zhang Xiao's serious expression gradually changed, revealing a faint smile. "Because you don't understand our Imperial Army and how sharp the weapons our Imperial Army uses are."
Zhang Xiao stood there. Facing a group of Bedouin warriors who voluntarily stayed, he spoke loudly and angrily.
To be honest, what Zhang Xiao said is not wrong.
In fact, these Bedouin warriors had such a big reaction to what he just said. These are all normal things.
Thinking about it from another angle, who wouldn¡¯t have such a reaction?
They are Arabs living in Cuman, and some have never left Cuman in their lives. The understanding and cognition of the world is limited to this.
Except for the elders and chiefs, warriors like them can only go as far as the edge of the Sahara Desert.
????????? In terms of knowledge, it¡¯s definitely not too high.
Therefore, they simply cannot clearly know and understand how strong the empire is.
¡°I don¡¯t understand where Zhang Xiao¡¯s confidence comes from, allowing him to say the above words.
Zhang Xiao understands this in his heart, so he won't get angry because of it. There is no need at all.
"I won't say anything to you, let you believe me. As long as you fight side by side with us, you will definitely understand what I am saying. By that time, you will not think that I am a madman or an idiot."
Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t explain anything because it was very complicated and difficult to explain.
What's more, even if he explains it, these people may not be able to understand it.
¡°That¡¯s not playing the piano to a cow.
These Bedouin warriors have little knowledge and do not have a very broad vision. If you explain to them the power and range of muskets, as well as the five-stage shooting method of the Imperial Army, they will not understand.
What they can see is the number of troops Zhang Xiao has on hand, and the quality is judged based on this.
After all, they are people from the cold weapon age.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t have to explain anything at all. Anyway, they wouldn¡¯t understand and it would be troublesome for him.
As long as they follow him and deal with the three major tribes, and stay for some time, they will naturally understand the power of the Imperial Army and why they are so confident and confident.
Let them see and experience it with their own eyes, which is much more convincing than explaining it with their mouths.
When the time comes, when they know this, some of their inner thoughts and concepts will inevitably change, and then they will look up to and surrender to the empire.
It is much better than wasting your saliva now.
Of course, this will also have some disadvantages. For example, their command may not be so smooth during this period.
However, Zhang Xiao also has his own ways to deal with these.
¡°Isn¡¯t there another Fariya? She has a very high status, so letting her command the remaining Bedouin warriors is the best choice.
"And if they were led by Farie, they wouldn't have any complaints, right?"
Therefore, Zhang Xiao does not need to worry too much about what problems may arise.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Now we still have some time and will not encounter threats from the three major tribes. So I will take this time to give you some training and learn some things. So that you can cope with the upcoming The war is coming. So I hope you can put all your thoughts on this."
As soon as Zhang Xiao finished speaking, someone in the team shouted loudly.
"Then are we under your command?"
Yes, this is a very real problem.
It is true that they stayed voluntarily, but this does not mean that they will obey Zhang Xiao's instructions.
??Even, these Bedouin fighters who stayed behind have already considered this issue in private.
The initial attitude of these people is that they can form a team of their own and act independently from the Imperial Army.
??Fariye also knows this. Moreover, he also revealed everyone's intention to Zhang Xiao. And said that he could convince everyone not to do this.
Zhang Xiao is certainly very grateful for Farie¡¯s kindness.
However, it was precisely because of Farie¡¯s reminder that Zhang Xiao also began to face this problem squarely.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xiao gave up his plan to command these Bedouin warriors and brought them under Fariya's command.
Of course, this is only temporary.
After letting them see how powerful they are, their short-sighted cognition is shocked. It would be a matter of course for him to take the power of the team into his hands.
So, there is no need to rush.
Besides, Farie is obviously willing to act together with the Imperial Army, so those guys are given to Farie to lead. As long as Farie is here, they will not break away from the Imperial Army.
This does not mean that Zhang Xiao needs these people, or that without them he will not be able to carry out the next Kuman war.
For Zhang Xiao, these people are actually dispensable.
With them, their own strength will not be much enhanced, and without them, their own strength will not be much weakened.
But you have to think about it yourself. These people can't lose too much. After all, they don't have the capital to fight against the three major tribes.
"You will form a separate team and be led by Miss Farie. I think you will not object to such an arrangement."
When Farie heard this, her petite body trembled.
She never imagined that Zhang Xiao would have such an arrangement, which was completely beyond her expectation.
However, the little girl was also secretly happy.
Being able to command a team is her dream.
Although in the Bagir tribe?, she can also mobilize tribal warriors, but usually the number will not exceed three hundred. And you have to get your father's permission to do it, which can be said to be very restrictive.
But now, she can lead a team of more than 600 people, and she has absolute control over this team, how could she not be excited.
Unlike ordinary girls, Farie was raised as a boy by Chief Omar, so although her gender is a girl, her personality is somewhat similar to that of a boy.
"Ican I really do it?"
Happiness came so suddenly that Farie couldn¡¯t speak fluently.
Zhang Xiao looked at the excited little girl, keeping a calm smile on his face, and nodded towards her.
"There is nothing impossible. No one is born to be a commander. But I believe that as long as you study seriously in the next time, you will definitely become a qualified officer."
To be honest, what Zhang Xiao said is not wrong at all. As long as Farie can seriously study some of the knowledge taught by Zhang Xiao and the others in the next few days, there will be no problem at all to become a qualified officer.
After all, the knowledge taught by Zhang Xiao and the others is far beyond this era.
The Bedouin warriors on the opposite side all became quiet after listening to Zhang Xiao's words. If they were led by Farie, then of course they would not have any problems here.
"Come here, give them weapons according to their heads." Zhang Xiao raised his hand and ordered, then turned around and looked at the Bedouin warriors standing quietly opposite. "You have three days to learn how to use muskets" (To be continued)
