　　 Chapter 32 Forming a New Army (Part 2)

　　 Standing Army 1st Battalion?

　　 Bruno's words did not cause much repercussions. After all, in the eyes of these soldiers, the name depends entirely on the preferences of the noble master and has nothing to do with him.

　　 "The newly formed standing army is very different from the previous city defense army. There is no such thing as changing shifts during spring ploughing. Once in service, it must be on duty 24/7, and daily training is required..."

Hearing this, most of the soldiers present began to talk, because many of them were the only males in the slack. The purpose of serving as a soldier in the slack was just to save a little food at home. After all, the so-called In fact, the Idar City Defense Army's military pay is not high. There are only five copper plates a month and only 60 copper plates a year, but the most important point is to take care of the food.

　　 You need to know that for many civilian families in this world, one less mouth to eat may have a little more chance of survival.

　　 But if the so-called standing army is to be trained every day, who should farm the fields in the house?

　　 "...However, once joining the standing army, every soldier will receive three gold coins and 30 copper plates a year as a living allowance..."

As soon as 　　's voice fell, most of the soldiers present felt unbearable and started discussing them all around.

　　 But this time it was not because of the strict training requirements, but because of the generous treatment beyond their imagination.

　　 It used to be sixty copper plates a year, but this time it was three gold coins a year. This tm is five times that!

　　 You must know that in Idar, if you want to maintain the life of an ordinary family, the cost of a year is generally about two to three gold coins.

　　If you count it like this, once you become a soldier in the standing army, you can feed your family with your own military salary.

　　 If my mother-in-law and children were more diligent and cultivated their own fields, then their lives would probably be much better.

　　 Thinking of this, many soldiers began to secretly conspiracy, this standing army, it is better to join.

　　 Of course, because of their own family, there are naturally some people who don’t want to be such soldiers who are on duty throughout the year, but these are a minority.

The reaction of the soldiers at the scene, Bruno, naturally saw him, so he felt that he should add a fire: "The standing army is naturally an army born for war. Almost every year, we will fight with the army of Sauron in Granville. There are small-scale conflicts in the highlands, but dangers often coexist with opportunities. Once the merits are established in the battle, the soldiers who participated in the battle will be rewarded. Soldiers with outstanding merits can even be made knights and become a noble!"

　　 The soldiers present were completely boiled upon hearing this sentence. Although the knight is the lowest noble and has no fief, he is also a member of the noble!

　　 With these mud legs, do they have a chance to become a noble master!

The civilian soldiers of the City Guard subconsciously glanced behind Bruno. The lord’s guards were all dressed in decent clothes and possessed the title of knight. When they thought that they might become that kind of person in the future, everyone. Hearts are fiery.

　　 "And once a soldier is killed on the battlefield, the soldier's family will receive a one-time pension of nine gold coins, and the lord will give priority to finding a job that can live on for the soldier's relatives and family."

　　 At this time, the soldiers present no longer whispered to each other. They stared at Bruno one by one, and almost shouted out the words I want to join the army.

"The benefits of the standing army are obvious, but...the threshold of the standing army is not reachable by everyone. Soldiers must be between 18 and 35 years old, they must be Idars without any criminal records, in good health, There is no disease..."

　　 After Bruno Linlin said seven or eight requirements, he clearly saw some soldiers present with regretful eyes.

But Bruno will never lower his standards. Good welfare and treatment must have a higher threshold. What he wants to build is an army that is completely under his control, an army that has ideas, goals, and organization. Disciplined army.

　　 After all, as the first army built by Bruno himself, the Idar Standing Army 1st Battalion may be one of his most valued teams for a long time to come.

　　 And the conditions must be the Idars are also out of this consideration. After all, the Stuart family has ruled this land for nearly a hundred years, and the successive Earls of Idar are also good noble lords in the eyes of ordinary people.

　　 At least, Idar has never forcibly squeezed civilians into serfs. In terms of treating civilians, this is much better than many nobles in the central and western parts of the empire.

"The first battalion of the Idar Standing Army will be organized according to the organization of 500 people. The first batch of soldiers plans to recruit 300 people~www.novelmt.com~ You have one day to think about it. Those who want to sign up will come at noon tomorrow. Sign up here, because the remaining places will be used from the day after tomorrow to start recruiting civilians to join the army." Bruno concluded.

　　After Bruno finished speaking, Sam Layton hurried over and said with some embarrassment: "Master..."

　　 "What's the matter?" Bruno glanced at him and asked.

　　 "The treatment of the standing army is a bit too good..." Sam said with jealousy.

It’s no wonder that although all the members of the Guards have the title of knights, the actual income is very small, because the food and clothing costs of the guards are provided by the lord’s castle, so there is only one extra salary per year. No more gold coins.

　　 As for the fief, only a baronial noble like Sam Layton, captain of the Guards, can have an actual fief.

"I have naturally considered the treatment of the guards. After the formation of the standing army, the guards will first mix and train with the standing army. Only guards with better training can continue to serve as guards or directly serve as officers in the standing army. , As for the guards who do not meet the standards, just stay in the standing army honestly..."

　　 For these requirements, Sam actually doesn't care much. In his opinion, the guards must be much better than the mud legs rolling from the field. It must be an easy task to complete the training.

　　 As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sam staring at himself eagerly, Bruno touched his face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

　　 "That... military pay..." Sam was about to cry in a hurry.

　　 "The guards who pass the training can get five gold coins a year...As for you... it depends on your performance!" Bruno said cheerfully.
