The value of life is not measured by time, but by depth.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

"Obey the teachings of the Lord!" Sanada Nobuyoshi, who was full of longing for the future, his eyes were full of excitement.

Compared with the energetic Sanada Nobuyoshi, the old and serious Nanbu Nobunao did not show abnormal emotions; calm as usual, he made a sonorous and powerful promise: "The lowly Nanbu Shinzhi is willing to guard the land of the Lord and the family forever!"

Nanbu Shinzhi's attitude is enough to show that not everyone is full of yearning for the distant shore of the ocean, and for the vast majority of people who have lived in the Yamato Empire for generations, being born and dying in Sri Lanka and creating value in Sri Lanka is the highest pursuit of their lives.

Of course, the Yanhuang family needs not only generals like Sanada Nobuyoshi who are full of expectations for the outside world, but also loyal ministers like Nanbu Shinnao who are willing to stay behind for the family;

Otherwise, all the important ministers of the Yanhuang family have gone to the Tianlong Continent, and who should the Yanhuang family's territory in the Yamato Empire be handed over to govern?

Even if it really came to the day when the Yanhuang family unified the Yamato Empire and became the sole overlord of the Yamato Empire, it would be impossible for Bai Feng to bring all the troops and all the important ministers of the Yanhuang family to the Tianlong Continent;

With the support of the city of Rome, the Yanhuang family will unify the Yamato Empire only sooner or later; the crux of the question is how can the Yanhuang family's rule over the Yamato Empire last for a long time? You must know that there has never been a shortage of dynasties in the history of China that died in one lifetime!

In view of this, Bai Feng never thought of taking all the troops and all the important ministers of his family away from the Yamato Empire; it was not Bai Feng's work to kill chickens and eggs, what he wanted to do was to develop the construction of the Yamato Empire into the most important overseas territory of the Yanhuang family.

At that time, the Yanhuang family, which ruled the 50 million people of the Yamato Empire, would not only be able to provide at least 500,000 soldiers for the city of Rome, but also continuously send all kinds of resources to the city of Rome, and promote the development of the city towards a stronger, more prosperous and powerful future!

Bai Feng, who was satisfied with the statements of Sanada Nobufan and Nanbu Shinao, nodded and began to ask Nanbu Shinao straight to the point: "Nanfang-kun, the large-scale recruitment has been going on for half a month, how many recruits have you recruited here?"

"My lord, after our vigorous publicity in the past half month, there are 4,500 young people in the three cities who have signed up for the draft, and 13,800 young people from other cities in the central part of the prefecture have come to sign up for the draft, but only 8,500 people meet the criteria for recruits. ”

In addition, there are more than 65,000 young people in various refugee towns and villages, and almost all of these young refugees who have experienced real life and death tests have a stronger will than ordinary young people, and it will be more suitable to form an army. ”

"Nanfang-kun, do you mean to leave behind all the more than 65,000 young refugees who signed up for the draft?"

"My lord, it is not that a large number of young refugees are deliberately recruited to join the army, but that the young refugees who signed up for the draft are indeed much better than the ordinary young men who signed up for the draft; ”

Seeing that Nanbu Nobunao pulled himself into the topic, Sanada Nobuyoshi had to speak out: "My lord, what Nanbu Lord said is true; ”

"In that case, let's recruit all these 65,000 refugees into our Yanhuang family's standing army. Bai Feng, who was like a stream, immediately made a decision: "The 40,000 recruits needed for the expansion of the Yanhuang Standing Army will be directly selected from these young refugees. ”

"My lord, I have a new suggestion on matters related to the expansion of the Yanhuang Standing Army. Nanfang Xinzhi, who had nothing to do with the Yanhuang Standing Army, interjected prominently: "Instead of only integrating 40,000 recruits into the Yanhuang Standing Army, it is better to organize 13,000 more recruits into it." ”

"Nanfangjun, the reason why I decided to expand the Yanhuang Standing Army to 60,000 soldiers is not only because the number of our Yanhuang Family's current army is seriously insufficient, but also because of the new establishment that our Yanhuang Family's Standing Army is about to implement. Bai Feng first opened his mouth to explain, and then instructed Sanada Nobufan on the side: "Nobuyo, you can tell you about the new establishment of the Yanhuang Standing Army for Nanfang Jun. ”

"Hey, Lord Nanbo, our new establishment is: 10 ashigaru as a squadron, 10 ashigaru as a squadron, 500 ashigaru as a squadron in the 5th squadron, 2,000 ashigaru as a wing in the 4th brigade, 10,000 ashigaru as a brigade in the 5th brigade, and 20,000 ashigaru as a division in the two brigades. ”

Sanada Nobuyoshi, who had not previously revealed the new establishment of the Yanhuang Standing Army to anyone, explained in great detail: "The Yanhuang Standing Army, which is fully organized, will have three independent combat divisions and regiments; in the future, the divisions will become the main combat units of the Yanhuang Standing Army!"

"It's not just the Yanhuang Standing Army. Bai Feng added at the right time: "It is not only the Yanhuang Standing Army that will be expanded, but also the other standing armies of our family; after the expansion is completed, the newly organized divisions and regiments will become the main combat units of our family's standing armies!"

"My lord, with a division with a full strength of 20,000 feet as the main combat unit of each standing army, wouldn't the number of soldiers in each standing army exceed 20,000?"

"At this stage, the Yanhuang family will definitely not be able to support it, so I will take out funds and food to support the expanded armies. Bai Feng swore and said: "But it will only take three months at most, and our Yanhuang family can rely on ourselves to feed the expanded armies." ”

"Nanfang-kun, what you need to do now is to recruit as many recruits as possible for the upcoming expansion of the various armies, and the mere 73,000 recruits can only meet half of the recruits needed for the expansion of each army, not including the replenishment of the fallen soldiers of each army. ”

"Seventy-three thousand recruits are only enough for half of the expansion?!" Nanbu Xinzhi said in a straight voice: "My lord, how do you plan to expand the armies?"

"As you already know that the Yanhuang Standing Army, which is the first batch of expanded armies, will be expanded to 60,000 soldiers in three divisions, and the next second batch of expanded armies will be your Southern Standing Army and Quanshan Jun's Quanshan Standing Army, which will be expanded to 20,000 soldiers in one division. ”

"The last group of troops to be expanded is the Sanada Standing Army, the Kunohe Standing Army, and the Iwashimizu Standing Army, which are engaged with the enemy on the front line; after the battle on the front line is over, the Sanada Standing Army, which has withdrawn to the rear, will be expanded to 40,000 soldiers in two divisions, and the Kunohe Standing Army and the Iwashimizu Standing Army will be expanded to 30,000 soldiers in one division and one brigade. ”
