Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 229 The first discussion called it a miscellaneous Hu!

Regarding Lady Irina's long-term expectations, Theodora is more cautious.

"We don't need so many local troops for the time being." She pointed out: "The situation in Novgorod is very special. It happens to be right on the main road. But other places may not have this demand."

"Of course." Mrs. Elena nodded: "But this is a very long-term job."

"In the long run, the Khan Court will definitely continue to develop in the direction of the Ross countries and manage them. Preparatory work first will also benefit future actions."

Theodora thought for a while, nodded, and continued to ask: "Now, how do you plan to start? Is there anything we need to do?"

"I hope to prepare a demonstration army first." Mrs. Yi Lianna said, looking at Guo Kang: "Mr. Guo, can you lead this army yourself?"

"Me?" Guo Kang was a little surprised: "I have never led a soldier before, is it the first time to lead a newly organized army..."

But compared to him, Theodora immediately discovered other problems.

"It's impossible for him to lead the auxiliary brigade." Theodora cut into the topic directly, interrupting Guo Kang's words.

"I..." Guo Kang hadn't reacted yet, but Theodora glared at him and stared back his doubts.

"After the plan is implemented, Brother Kang himself will definitely participate in the expedition." She continued: "But usually, for this kind of initial battle, the family will carefully plan and arrange reliable deputy and elite veterans."

"This is an old tradition, and it is also the customary cooperative relationship between legion soldiers and Zhu kingdoms." She pointed out: "These officers and soldiers will help the princes. Correspondingly, they themselves will get more military exploits and promotion opportunities , and other rewards from the family. This is a very honorable and affordable job, and everyone usually rushes to do it."

"Therefore, it is impossible for him to bring the auxiliary army into battle. Even if it is just a title, or let this auxiliary brigade be one of his subordinates." Theodora said seriously: "In the eyes of other legionnaires, this It will be a sign that the family doesn't value him. Other groups under Guo Kang's command with them may even think more, thinking that we are contemptuous of them. I can't allow this to happen."

"We can operate in advance and carry out publicity." Mrs. Yi Lianna quickly explained: "Can we let them join the regular army?"

"It's not realistic." Tuo Huan also shook his head, and said bluntly, "It's just like what my sister said. Fighting side by side with the Slavs? Everyone will be unhappy."

"I also know about this situation." Mrs. Irina had no choice but to directly state her intentions: "Our idea is to give the Ross people a chance to prove themselves on the battlefield."

"Historically, the Russians have also waged large-scale wars, posing a serious threat to the Greeks. In theory, there should be no shortage of warriors here. But now, their actual performance is so bad. So I believe that this It’s a problem with organization and management.”

"I hope to select a group of warriors, manage them in the Roman way, and let them gradually become qualified Romans. According to our observation, there is only one way to truly gain dignity and recognition, and that is to make contributions on the battlefield .So, I came up with this idea."

"My people have always been tortured by misery and darkness, and they are often enslaved. I also know that in the current environment, it is impossible for the Roman Khan to help them unconditionally. Let the Romans accept them at once. Unrealistic. But I am willing to use what I have as a bargaining chip to give them a chance."

"If this batch of demonstrations can be successful, it can open the door for latecomers. I think it's worth it."

Theodora was speechless for a moment, but Tuo Huan was a little puzzled.

"Is there... a problem?" he asked. "We have never enslaved the Rus. We have always captured the Slavs?"

"Also, which tribe do you want to save?" He asked curiously, "Is it the Ross people, the Slavs, or the residents of the Ryazan city, or the people in the principality territory? I don't quite understand which groups of people these words cover... ..."

The Empress Dowager and others were also immersed in the touching atmosphere of self-sacrifice. Hearing what he said, the whole atmosphere was swept away, and they all became curious.

As a result, Mrs. Elena herself didn't seem to understand.

"I remember that in the earliest days, only the rulers from the north were called Ross people. But over time, this name has been changing, and I don't know which one is more standardized." She thought for a while, and she was also a little confused say.

"For a while, the Ross area also referred to the circle around Kiev. Because it was the place where the Grand Duke of Ross was stationed and ruled for a long time. But then Kievan Rus declined and disintegrated, and various places acted on their own, and the Golden Horde destroyed the last authority of Kiev. After that, the theory of the Ross area became even more prevalent."

"As for the residents of the Ross area, are they Ross people..." Mrs. Irina obviously didn't think about it seriously: "Probably the Slavs living here are also Ross people."

"Is this okay?" Guo Kang always felt even more strange: "If you have been ruled by someone else, you can count it as the other nation?"

"Oh, that's actually no problem." Tuo Huan nodded, and explained to him: "People in the Central Plains may find it strange, but the rules on the grassland are like this."

"If a tribe is ruled by the Turks, they are the Turks; if they are ruled by the Mongols, they are the Mongols. There are countless examples of this. The Slavs have been ruled by the Rus for a longer time than the above two, and they can also be regarded as Rus. Man, it's fine."

"According to what you said, it seems that the Slavs are also grassland beards." Guo Kang muttered.

"Then what else?" Tuohuan asked strangely: "There are only a few categories of people in the world. Are they grassland people or what? Can they still be Europeans?"

"Don't tell me, I think Novgorod can be regarded as a European." Guo Kang pointed out: "The fighters of the Petrovich regiment always thought that they were the earliest group of people who migrated with Rurik. The descendants of the North Sea settlers are different from the other Slavs around them. It really makes a difference."

"So that's the case." Tuo Huan showed a clear expression, and looked at Mrs. Elena again: "In this way, the definition is probably clear. Then can you tell us, who exactly do you want to accept?"

"Then let's start with our own principality." Mrs. Irina said, "Is that okay?"

"You can try it..." Tuohuan's attitude softened.
