Chapter 187 Commander of Hundred Knights(2/2)
Now Li Shimin selected from these disciples into the left and right Hundred Cavalry Camps, such as Turk, Khitan, Tiele, Kumoxi, Mohe, Silla, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, Jihu, and even Gaochang, Qiuci and other vassals in the Western Regions.
Wu Huaiyu and Xu Luoren, the two commanders of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, accompanied Li Shimin in the selection and assessment every day, and the two thousand Hundred Cavalry were quickly filled up.
Of the eight battalions at the north gate, the second battalion of Hundred Cavalry is the most special.
Less than 10% were descendants of distinguished nobles, 30% were delinquent sons of officials and slaves, and 60% were descendants of barbarian vassals.
Many barbarian children from vassal states had a very distinguished status in their respective tribes, and some even had titles such as princes, regardless of whether they were trespassing or not. But after arriving in Chang'an, they realized how insignificant they were. Even if they were from Turks, they were from
Gaochang is also very different from Chang'an. Although in Huaiyu's view, the current Chang'an city is actually very backward, in the eyes of these barbarians, it is very great.
In the eyes of the people of Chang'an, these barbarians, although quite wealthy, are nothing more than scorned and despised sticks.
Now, they were selected as the emperor's personal entourage, and all of them were extremely excited.
It's just that their commander Wu Huaiyu looked at this group of people and said that it was not an exaggeration to call them ghosts and snake gods. The Khitan people and Xi people with long hair like to shave off the hair on the top of their heads, and then leave a photo here and a circle there.
Yes, weird.
The Mohe people of Baishan and Heishui have big braids.
Turks like to wear their hair in braids.
Dangxiang people and Xiqiang people also like to shave off a lot of hair on their heads, but they are different in details from Xi and Qi's hair.
As for raccoons, raccoons, and barbarians from the south, they generally have tattoos on their hair, short hair, many tattoos on their bodies, and their clothes have left and right hems, anyway, in various styles.
Huaiyu did not ask them to uniformly change their hairstyles and clothing to the Tang and Han people. Instead, according to the emperor's instructions, he organized these people from different tribes into the same clan and organized them together. Not only did they retain their original hairstyles and clothing, but they were even equipped with equipment.
Customary weapons and equipment.
Wu Huaiyu's only request is that they learn Chinese well. If they can't speak Tang Mandarin well, how can they communicate and command.
It can be seen that many of these monsters and monsters are quite dissatisfied with the commander Wu Huaiyu, thinking that he is too young and even too 'thin'.
"We have a hundred cavalry Zuoying newly established. Why don't we have a martial arts performance first? Let's all have a try, including horse riding, riding archery, infantry archery, weight-bearing, running, etc. The top three will be rewarded, and those who fail will be the last.
Hundreds of people, punished!"
As soon as Huaiyu's words came out, everyone was eager to give it a try, and a big man from the Dangxiang Xifeng tribe, Xifeng Heishi, asked Huaiyu if he would also participate.
"Of course!" Huaiyu chuckled. If he didn't show his hand in front of them, these people wouldn't obey him.
Chapter completed!
