If ambition is only used to chase the unlimited power of the individual, then it is all evil and abominable. Most of the monarchs www.biquge.info are not exempt from vulgarity, and as long as they harden their hearts, they will put aside all conscience, honor, benevolence, and so on, and just want to get their power.

"In terms of geographical location and city factors, Sanhe Castle, Takasuji Castle, and Ishikawa Castle are indeed more suitable as the main cities of our Yanhuang clan than Jiuhe Castle, but you have forgotten another crucial element, and that is the ocean!

I think all of you here know why our Yanhuang family can become the family of the unified Mutsu Kingdom, and on a continent across the sea from the Yamato Empire, the real core power of our Yanhuang family is in the southern region of that continent.

I can tell you without exaggeration that our Yanhuang clan has hundreds of thousands of elite troops on the continent over there, and the 10,000 soldiers under the command of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyo, who seem to you to be strong in combat, are actually captured by us.

You can imagine for yelves, what kind of combat power we have organized with captives in the Yamato Empire, so we must choose a harbor city to be the main city of our Yanhuang family.

Only in this way can our Yanhuang family get more resources and support, if I am not in the time of Mutsu, other families intend to invade our Yanhuang family, once the other party's strength is too strong, we need to have timely reinforcements!"

"Lord, having said that, there is no need to make Kunohe Castle the main city of the family! We can make Sanhe Castle, which is not far from Kunohe Castle, the main city of the family, and then focus on building the port of Kunohe, so that we can take into account the needs of both aspects?"

"No! I'm against Minohe Castle being the main city of the family. I think this arrangement of the lord is justified, and I support the lord in making Kunohe Castle the main city of the family!" As soon as Izumiyama Koyasu's proposal was spoken, it was vetoed by Nanbu Shinnao, who was sitting at the head of the right.

It had always been Nanbu Nobunao's instinct to observe words and looks, and he understood that the purpose of the governor of the family was to turn Kunohe Castle into the main city of the family, and although Nanbu Nobunao did not know what the real reason of the governor was, this did not affect his decision to support the governor.

With Nanbu Shinnao, a staunch supporter, Sanada Masayuki and Kunohe Yasuma followed suit to express their support, and even if they said so, the retainers who had newly joined the Yanhuang clan would naturally have no objections.

As a result, Kunohe Castle, which had a natural and excellent port, became the main city of the Yanhuang family, and the standing army of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi would also march to Kunohe Castle in the next month to serve as a garrison for Kuhe Castle and Kunohe Port.

"As the main city of our Yanhuang family, Jiuhe City will also become the most prosperous, strongest, and largest city of our Yanhuang family in the future, in order to accomplish this set goal, we must concentrate more resources to develop Jiuhe City as soon as possible.

Xinzhi, as the chief elder of the old family, you are equivalent to the pen elder of our Yanhuang family, I gave your old group two years, do you have the confidence to develop the Nine Households City into the most prosperous city of the Yanhuang family?"

"Lord, in two years, you will definitely see a brand-new Nine Households City!" The family governor had never said that he was the chief family elder before, but now he suddenly became the chief family elder equivalent to the pen head family elder, and Nanbu Shinnao naturally understood the reason for this.

With Nanbu Shinnao's assurance, Hakumine didn't say anything else, but turned his gaze to Shikuda Kantai and the others, who were also members of the family elder group, and only by working together could Hakumine's goal of developing Kunohe Castle be accomplished.

"We will do our best to help the elders of the southern family!" These subordinates from the Spo family and the Tsugaru family are all old guys who have been able to serve and retain all their lives, and they will not let go of such a good opportunity to show their loyalty.

"I will leave the development of the main city to your old regiment to deal with, now let's discuss the expansion of the size of the various armies and how to improve the combat effectiveness of the army; I have not yet thought of a specific plan for these two matters, so you can put forward any suggestions first. ”

After mentioning the most important matter of army expansion and improving the combat effectiveness of the army, Bai Feng did not express his thoughts first, but asked the retainers present to give their opinions first; on the one hand, Bai Feng wanted to hear the thoughts of the retainers, and on the other hand, it was also a test for these people.

Not every samurai can become a qualified general, and not every general can become a general; understanding the ability of the generals under his command is not only discovered through war, but this kind of military professional problem can even show the talent of a general more than war.

"My lord, I don't know how far the size of the armies should be expanded, but I have a better way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. After the assessment room, which was full of retainers, was quiet for about five minutes, Sanada Nobuyoshi was the first to stand up and make a suggestion.

"Oh, then tell me what your solution is. ”

"My brother and I will serve as the permanent army of Jiuhe City in the future, and the soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army are the most elite soldiers in the family, so I think we can temporarily transfer some of the elite soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army to other armies.

The officers and men of the Yan and Huang Standing Army, which have relatively strong combat effectiveness, and the ordinary ashigari of other armies should be mixed together, and then the mixed troops should be used to clear out the robbers and bandits in each defense area one by one; through this method of actual combat, the actual combat effectiveness of each army will be enhanced. ”

"Okay! Shinshihiro's suggestion is very good, and the feasibility is very high, do you have any other suggestions?" As soon as Sanada Shinshihiro's suggestion was finished, Bai Feng praised his suggestion with a smile on his face, and asked the generals present if they had any other suggestions.

Bai Feng's expectant eyes didn't play a role, except for the suggestion that Sanada Nobufan took the initiative to put forward, the other generals in the assessment room didn't even have any suggestions;

In fact, Sanada Nobushiori's suggestion coincided with Bai Feng's thoughts, but Bai Feng's thoughts were a little more specific than Sanada Nobuyoshige's, which was also the result of Sanada Nobuyoshi's lack of experience, after all, he was still too young.

"General Kunohe Yasumin, your army will be officially renamed the Kunohe Standing Army in the future. Before preparing to announce the plan, Bai Feng first gave an order to Kunohe Yasuzhen alone, and then turned his head to the generals in the assessment room and announced:

"The size of the Sanada Standing Army and the Southern Standing Army is set at 10,000 soldiers, and the size of the Izumiyama Standing Army, the Iwashimizu Standing Army, and the Kunohe Standing Army is determined to be 6,000 soldiers.

After your armies are fully reinforced, the three of you will take 1,000 soldiers from the Yanhuang Standing Army, and the two of you will take 1,500 soldiers from the Yanhuang Standing Army.

I will give you a full year, and after a year, you will send the soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army back to Jiuhe City intact, and at that time, I hope that the combat effectiveness of each of your armies can be greatly improved, otherwise I will remove you from your duties!"
