The greater the consequences for criminals, the more daring they are to evade punishment. www.biquge.info In order to get rid of the punishment for one crime, people will commit more crimes. The countries and eras with the most brutal punishments are often the ones with the bloodiest and most inhumane acts.

The old and dignified Eggers first smiled at Bronno, and then nodded slightly to signal Bronno to speak first; Bronno, who was very sensitive, did not refuse Eggers's kindness, he immediately stood up and said to Bai Feng respectfully:

"Governor, I think that the prisoners of war of the Vitus tribe should be dealt with by dividing and co-opting, and that those who are hostile to our city of Rome can be included in servitude and built for us without compensation.

For those who are not hostile to our Roman city, we can draw the most elite part of them to replenish the battle losses of the various field legions, and the other part will be the main component of the newly formed Tuntian legions, and finally release some to calm the people.

Of course, the field corps cannot be replenished entirely from prisoners of war, and the original six Tuntian regiments can also provide about half of the supplementary troops; the newly formed Tuntian regiment must be mainly composed of officers and men of the original Tuntian regiment, supplemented by the transferred prisoners of war. ”

"Well, you have a good idea, do anyone have any other ideas?"

"Governor, I approve of General Brono's treatment of the Vitte tribe prisoners, but the exact method of dealing with them needs to be considered, after all, there is no longer any Werther tribe, and the families of the prisoners of war will soon all become the subjects of our Roman city.

Therefore, when dealing with the issue of prisoners of war, we must also take into account the popular sentiment as much as possible, and even if we classify those stubborn prisoners of war into hard labor, we must pay a certain amount of remuneration in exchange for the stability of the newly conquered areas.

In addition, the formation of a new Tuntian legion should not only expand the warriors of the original Werther tribe, but also promote some capable generals of the original Werther tribe, and only by dividing a part of the benefits can we ensure the integration of the Werther tribe into our Roman city. ”

Bronno's suggestion coincided with some of Bai Feng's ideas, but Bai Feng always felt that this approach was not very appropriate, and then, Eggers, who let Bronno speak first, stood up and made appropriate additions to Bronno's suggestion.

With Bronno and Eggers taking the lead in making suggestions, the other legionnaires also put forward some ideas and suggestions of their own, but most of the suggestions they put forward were refinements of Bronor and Eggers' suggestions.

The new proposals put forward by the few legion commanders were actually not feasible, at least, they were much worse than those of Bronno and Eggers, but Bai Feng encouraged them to speak actively.

The conquest of the Werther tribe, one of the four overlord tribes in the eastern region, is only the first step in the unification of the eastern region of Rome, and the unification of the eastern region is only the foundation for the future of the Roman city, and the magnificent imperial territory has not yet been truly born!

The rise of a powerful empire requires not only elite soldiers, but also strong generals, and encouragement like tonight is a way for Bai Feng to train the captains of the Roman city, even if what they say is wrong, as long as they think about it.

"Now that everyone has expressed their thoughts and suggestions, I will synthesize everyone's opinions and talk about the final implementation plan: the original Werther tribe has a population of 1.5 million distributed in the Hedong and Hexi regions, and will be divided into 12 small towns in the future.

Among them, the Hedong region, with a population of more than 500,000 people, has built four new towns directly under it, and the Hexi region, with a population of nearly 1 million, has built eight new towns directly under it.

In this way, the number of Tuntian legions in our Roman city will rise from the original six to 18; with the increase in the number of Tuntian legions, the number of soldiers in each Tuntian legion will also be adjusted accordingly, and it is tentatively set at 6,000 Tuntian soldiers in each legion.

In order to facilitate the command of these large numbers of Tuntian Corps, a Tuntian Military Region was formed for every three adjacent Tuntian Corps, and a senior general served as the commander of the Tuntian Military Region, responsible for the unified command of the three Tuntian Corps.

The commanders of the six Tuntian legions in the original Roman city will all be promoted to the commanders of the tuntian military region, and half of the eighteen commanders of the vacant tuntian legions will be drawn from the field legions of the Roman city, and half will be selected from the captured generals of the Vitte tribe.

Each legion of the newly organized Tuntian Legion consisted of 2,000 veterans of the Roman city of Tuntian and 4,000 vet tribal warriors, of which 2,000 Tuntian veterans were organized into elite infantry wings, and 4,000 vet tribal warriors were organized into infantry wings and longbow regiments respectively. ”

After deciding on the affairs of the newly built town and the Tuntian Legion, Bai Feng, who felt a little dry, took a sip of the warm water in front of his desk before continuing to order to the concentrated legion commanders:

"On the side of the field corps, a total of 53,000 soldiers are needed to replenish the battle losses, 36,000 of the 50,000 veterans of the Tuntian Regiment are to be transferred out to form a new Tuntian Corps, and the remaining 14,000 men are to be replenished equally to each field regiment.

The shortage of 39,000 soldiers was directly selected from the captives of the Werther tribe to be replenished, and after the 200,000 Werther tribe was transferred by the field army and the tuntian army, there were only about 80,000 left.

The 80,000 captives were first organized into four coolie regiments, which were responsible for the construction of towns and roads in the Hedong and Hexi regions, and they could be released and returned home after the twelve new towns and the roads connecting them were completed.

Of course, the city of Rome will not discriminate against the prisoners of war of the Vitus tribes, and the prisoners of war who are selected into the Tuntian Legion and the Field Legion will be exempted from the status of prisoners immediately, but they will not be paid for one year, and they can enjoy the standard treatment of soldiers of the city of Rome after one year.

Prisoners of war who were incorporated into the coolie regiment received the same monthly salary as the officers and men of the field regiment from the day they were inducted into the regiment, which was not only paid monthly, but also allowed them to send it to their families. ”

"The Governor is wise!"

In order to win over the hearts of the 200,000 captured warriors of the Virtus tribe, Bai Feng decided to exchange the incredible reserves of gold and silver coins in the city of Rome in exchange for their support.

The generals in the conference room were originally warriors from the barbarian tribe, and the generous Bai Feng used his practical actions to express his favor to the warriors of the Werther tribe, which undoubtedly made them feel very pleased as barbarian warriors.

The expansion and supplementation of the Tuntian Corps and the Field Corps would be handled by the commanders of the various corps and the commanders of the military districts, and the affairs of the newly built towns in the Hedong and Hexi regions would be handed over by Bai Feng to Vipsani, who was in charge of government affairs.

As for the Lion Legion, which has lost Upton, the leader of the legion, who will appoint to be the second legion leader of the Lion Legion, Bai Feng, who has no suitable candidate for the time being, retains this appointment, because tomorrow's Roman City can add another general!
