"Chapter 82: The Balance of Opposites"

The discovery of truth, or the fulfillment of moral responsibility, causes us to rejoice and makes our whole life tremble......

- Benedetto Croce (famous Italian literary critic, historian and philosopher)

Sanhe Castle was able to overpower the three castles of Hachinohe Castle, Kuhe Castle, and Nobeji Castle to become the home of the southern family, on the one hand, because the geographical location of Sanhe Castle was indeed better than the other three castles, and on the other hand, the population of Sanhe Castle was larger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the Yamato Empire, which was in turmoil, population was definitely the most important resource for every power, after all, it was an eternal truth that more people had more troops, and more troops equaled greater strength.

The Sanada family will become the spokesperson for the Roman army after leaving the Yamato Empire, and the Sanohe Castle will also be handed over to the Sanada family by Hakumine.

However, the 5,000 soldiers of the southern family who surrendered voluntarily could not be handed over to the Sanada family by Bai Feng; even if Sanada Masayuki made a request for this, Bai Feng, who had already made a decision, still refused Sanada Masayuki's request without hesitation.

You must know that at the peak of the Sanada family, the army owned by the Sanada family was only 10,000 at most, which was not as good as the southern family that was conquered by the Roman army;

Allowing Sanada Masayuki to expand the size of the Sanada Red Reserve Army to 5,000 people is already the limit that Bai Feng can bear, and unless the Sanada family's loyalty to Bai Feng reaches the level of loyalty that will never betray, Bai Feng will never allow the Sanada family's strength to be too strong.

Extreme loyalty is indeed second only to die-hard loyalty, but it is not a die-hard loyalty, and soon the Roman army will leave the Yamato Empire, and it is unknown how long it will be before the next return, who can guarantee that the Sanada family will not betray the city of Rome during this period?

The reason why Bai Feng accepted Izumiyama Koyasu, who took the initiative to hand over the katana, was not because he lacked a fierce general like Izumiyama Koyasu under his command, but because he was not worried that the Sanada family was dominant, and soon, he would support Izumiyama Koyasu to restrain the Sanada family.

The 5,000 soldiers who surrendered from the southern family were deliberately left behind by Bai Feng to prepare to be handed over to the commander of Quanshan Gukang; as for the southern family's family governor Nanfang Xinzhi, how to arrange him was indeed a headache for Bai Feng.

The Southern Family, who had served as the guardian of the Michinoku Kingdom for more than a hundred years, had extraordinary appeal in the area under its rule, and the Southern Family had voluntarily surrendered, so Hakumine had to make appropriate arrangements to ensure that it would not provoke public anger.

How to properly arrange Nanbu Shinao without giving the Nanbu family a chance to make a comeback has become Bai Feng's arrangement principle; for the purpose of the school examination, Bai Feng handed over the problems that troubled him to Sanada Shinshige around him.

No matter how much his life was fictionalized in later generations, the adjective 'Japan's first soldier' was enough for Sanada Nobuyoshi to leave his name in that era when there were many famous generals like dogs.

The young Sanada Nobuhiro really didn't disappoint Bai Feng, just after a little thought, he gave Bai Feng a solution that made Bai Feng look at him with admiration;

The solution was that Sanada Nobuyoshi suggested that Hakumine appoint Nanbu Nobunao as the lord of Sannohe Castle to appease the people of the Southern Clan and the people of Mutsu Province, and then let the Sanada Red Army of the Sanada Family be stationed at Minohe Castle to confront Nanbu Nobunao.

With the populous Sanhe Castle as the core, the power of Sanohe Castle was handed over to the governor of the southern family, Nanbu Nobunao, and the military power was handed over to the Sanada family's governor, Sanada Masayuki, to ensure that the rule of Roman Castle was not threatened through the confrontation between the southern family and the Sanada family.

In this way, Bai Feng not only solved the problem of the resettlement of Nanbu Shinnao, but also solved the problem of Sanada Masayuki's arrangement; as long as the Nanbu family and the Sanada family have been opposed, the Nanbu family will not want to make a comeback, and the Sanada family will not want to be the only one.

Such a constructive solution not only helped Bai Feng solve the problem in front of him, but also made Bai Feng realize the talent and ability of Sanada Nobuyoshige, and that night, Bai Feng called the generals of the city of Rome and the main members of the southern family and the Sanada family.

The architectural structure of Sanhe Castle under the rule of the southern family is naturally very characteristic of the Yamato Empire, and it originally belonged to the residence of the former governor of the southern family, Nanbu Harumasa, but at this time it was already the temporary residence of Bai Feng, and the Roman youth army in charge of guarding the battalion was in charge.

The place where Bai Feng held the military meeting tonight was the assessment room where the southern family held the assessment meeting in the past; it's just that Bai Feng, who was not used to kneeling and sitting cross-legged, replaced all the cushions in the assessment room with the chairs and tables he was used to.

The four teams of Roman youth troops in the personal guard battalion were responsible for patrolling and guarding all places outside the assessment room, and the Spartan heavy infantry, who was full of fierce faces, shouldered the task of guarding the assessment room, which was also Bai Feng's way of showing the strength of Rome to others.

The Spartan heavy infantry, who had level 4 experience at the beginning, was only one step away from a higher level 5 experience after several major battles, so their current strength was basically about the same as that of the top high-level samurai in the Yamato Empire.

High-level samurai, that is at least the level of a squire in any force in the Yamato Empire, and even the southern family and the Sanada family, which are not weak, have only a dozen or so high-level samurai in their families.

Not to mention the strength of the various army commanders under Bai Feng's command for the time being, it is the guards of Bai Feng in front of them, the strength they show has surpassed the imagination of Nanbu Shinao and Sanada Masayuki, and there are nearly 100 high-level samurai, this is simply a formidable terrifying strength!

Nanbu Nobunao and Sanada Masayuki, who were secretly shocked, didn't know that in Bai Feng's personal guard camp alone, there were at least more than 500 powerful troops whose strength was equivalent to that of a high-ranking samurai, and the strength of Roman City was above that of any so-called powerful family in the Yamato Empire!

Before convening tonight's military meeting, Bai Feng first had a secret conversation with Izumiyama Gukang, who had sacrificed his katana, and put forward the idea of making Izumiyama Gukang a general in Rome.

Bai Feng, who is accustomed to seeing the sinister hearts of people, naturally cannot easily believe in Quanshan Gukang's allegiance, but in the power loyalty attribute table of Rome City, Quanshan Gukang's loyalty is a diehard loyalty who will never betray, so Bai Feng can't believe it.

After the secret discussion with Quanshan Gukang ended, Bai Feng, who had made the decision, asked Antio, who was guarding the captives of the southern family, to return weapons and equipment to the soldiers of the southern family, and soon, these soldiers of the southern family would become the Izumiyama Ink Reserve Army of Rome City!

The army belonging to the Sanada family was named after the Sanada family by Hakumine, and formed the new Sanada Red Reserve Army, which was led by Izumiyama Koyasu as a general, and naturally it was named the Izumiyama Ink Reserve Army, as if it was also the custom of the Yamato Empire to name the army after the main general.
