Chapter 231

Yanxing looked at the reaction of the businessmen on the stage and knew that the establishment of the eternal guild was reliable.

In the eyes of people in this world, a businessman is a dealer who buys and sells. Because of the speculation of buying low and selling high, the reputation of businessmen is not very good.

We all know that we need businessmen to flow materials everywhere, but we always have an unknown aversion to businessmen.

Especially when the price of things you buy rises, you secretly curse the merchants.

Moreover, running business all the year round makes the merchants more or less infected with some bad atmosphere, and they don't do less things such as robbery.

Therefore, the social status of businessmen is not high.

No one wants to organize slick businessmen and trade associations.

In Yanxing's eyes, business is very important.

In fact, it is logistics.

If Yongling wants to realize industrialization, it must need a lot of resources and frequent trade.

With the future business expansion and the radiation of eternal grain investment bank, a reliable logistics system is definitely needed.

To build a logistics network from scratch, eternal leader not only needs to spend money and manpower, but also needs to collect local customs.

And a relationship

It can't be done in a short time.

Merchants have personnel, fleets and networks. When they are gathered in their hands, they can be put into operation immediately after a little integration.

This is the main reason why Yanxing wants to organize the commercial meeting of CCB.

If you want to use logistics in the future, you don't need to do it yourself, save time, effort and money.

As for the formation of mercenaries, in addition to the benefits mentioned by Yanxing, there are other reasons why it is urgent to form this corps.

Count Theodore publicly acknowledged that thunder swamp was the same power as the silver mane principality. In addition to bringing many benefits to Yanxing, he also characterized Yanxing and his power circle as outsiders.

The activities of the eternal leader's army in yinmane will be greatly limited, and his business in yinmane will only grow in the future.

We need a military force with a principality background to safeguard our own interests in the principality.

The purpose of the eternal chamber of commerce is to protect the safety of commercial routes.

And what you want to do in the future, the excuse of "free passage" is too easy to use.

Therefore, Yanxing proposed to establish guild mercenaries without any perfunctory idea.

On the contrary, they attach great importance to this army that has not yet been formed.

Because of the particularity of this mercenary, it is impossible to maintain a large scale.

This requires every member of the army to be very capable.

Yanxing proposed that each businessman send family children to join mercenaries, and let these family children run business with the caravan most of the time, so that these businessmen can send their best children out.

Business is a family industry. For the continuity of the caravan, business spared no effort in the cultivation of family children.

Through the information learned from Eden.

There is a selection system within the merchant family. If you meet a young man with potential, you will find ways to let him accept the training of a lord and become a high-level soldier.

This is a very large capital investment, but all businessmen are willing to spend it.

They value the cultivation of family children most.

There are opportunities to train family children, who serve the interests of the family. They will certainly send excellent children to mercenaries.

In this way, guild mercenaries have an excellent source of troops.

As for how to control this mercenary

The first is the common interest.

Eternal ties everyone to make money together, and the loyalty of mercenaries naturally has the most basic guarantee.

Then there is the containment of the logistics system.

After this period of testing, the developed flint gun has met the actual combat requirements.

Mercenary soldiers come from complex sources and stay at different times. It is not convenient to carry out training according to their respective ranks.

Therefore, Yanxing decided to distribute flint guns to all soldiers below level 7.

Level 7 and above are cavalry, and weapons are distributed separately.

Flint guns for infantry have been produced in eternal collar.

The finalized model of flint gun is named type 21.

The body of the gun is 1.6 meters long and the bayonet is 1.9 meters long.

The breech is filled with paper coated black powder bullets.

After skillfully using the flint gun, you can shoot six shots a minute.

After repeated tests, it can be determined that the shooting skills of shooter units can still work on muskets, and the accuracy is higher than that of non shooter units.

Even if non shooter units use this gun, the lethality of dense line firing is much higher than that of conventional bows and crossbows.

Firearms are very logistics dependent.

As long as we firmly grasp the logistics supply and strictly manage one person at a time, mercenaries will not have a big trouble.

As for the actual combat effect of this new type of firearm in the world?

Yanxing did not dare to experiment easily in his own army.

Although in the real world, the large-scale use of firearms eventually eliminated cold weapons.

But there is magic in this world

Without knowing the effect of firearms, let the eternal leader's army adapt its combat habits. Once something goes wrong, it will be a big problem.

Guild mercenaries can be used as a pilot for new weapons and tactics.

Anyway, mercenaries are faced with mountain bandits and naughty in the early stage. They are highly tolerant of war, and they can adjust in time if they find problems.

There are many small-scale actual battles.

It is just possible to summarize experience while practicing and playing, and then apply it to the main military reform of eternal leader.

Yan Xing thought about the idea of creating an army for the mercenaries of the firm.

Discussions among Taiwanese businessmen have become more and more heated.

The more the discussion, the more the businessmen feel that once they have an army formed by their own children's soldiers, they will have a hard waist to run business in the future.

When we meet the robber

Whoever steals it doesn't have to be anywhere.

Moreover, after the big guys hold a group, it is not easy to open up new business routes.

Other businessmen don't have the courage to rob us of business.

Finally, all the traders expressed to Yanxing that they were willing to join the eternal guild.

And jointly recommended master Yanxing as the first president of the eternal trade association.

Yan Xing accepted the post of president and appointed Eden as vice president to deal with the establishment of the guild.

As for the position of guild mercenary commander, no one dares to rob master Yanxing.

After all, the money for training the army was paid by master Yanxing.

Therefore, master Yanxing paid close attention to the military and government, and the eternal business association was officially established.

The business meeting is over. Yanxing has wasted a lot of time here. The banquet in front is still being held. As a host, it's not suitable to stay away for too long.

Yanxing handed over the next thing of the meeting to Abbot Eden and asked him to count the people sent to join the guild mercenaries as soon as possible.

Become an army and train as soon as possible.

Take advantage of the free time of running business during the war to train guild mercenaries.

When the war is over and the merchants can leave, they can send mercenaries to open up business routes everywhere.

Eden is very grateful to be so reused by master Yanxing.

Repeatedly promised to do things here properly.
