"Chapter 4: Military Development"
The process of life is a process of tolerance, and if you form an isolated mentality and are unwilling to let life grow naturally, you are mentally opposing yourself. This is the basic cause of all suffering.

When the reward system formulated by Vipsani himself was promulgated, those chambers of commerce who donated gold coins were overjoyed with the feedback from the governor's palace, especially the merchants of the Green Chamber of Commerce, their mood can be described as ecstatic!
After a brief period of euphoria, merchants who were about to receive their rewards, or who planned to donate a large amount of money next year, soon discovered that there was a not-so-in-the-box error in the reward system: that the rent-free ships were all transports rather than merchant ships.
Compared with merchant ships, which were more suitable for carrying all kinds of goods, transport ships with larger carrying capacity were much worse in terms of transportation conditions, but the most important feature of transport ships was that they could be requisitioned by the city of Rome in times of war, which was in dire need of capacity, which was in any way incomparable to merchant ships.
Therefore, the transport ships leased by the Doge's Palace to the private chambers were not so much a tool for the development of maritime trade in the city of Rome as a means of war for the military reserves of the city of Rome, and it was only natural that they should be used as the main chartered ships in the incentive system.
With the introduction of the reward system and the formation of the honor committee, the matter of supporting the foundation has basically come to an end, and Bai Feng, who is still busy, began to focus on the expansion of the original legion and the formation of the new legion, as well as the expansion of the vassal legion.
Whether it is the expansion of the two expeditionary legions of the Luci Kingdom or the expansion of the two expeditionary legions of the Essini Kingdom, they alone cannot provide such large-scale weapons and equipment;
Considering that transporting weapons from Rome to the two royal cities would be too much of a waste of time, Hakumine's advice to Queen Boudicca and Yamashita Yoki was to have them expand the two legions to full strength first, and then let the soldiers come to Rome to collect weapons and equipment.
Bai Feng's words were nominally a suggestion, but in his capacity, how could Queen Boudicca and Yamashita Yoki not accept it? At the end of December, 50,000 soldiers from two legions of the Aceni Kingdom and 70,000 soldiers from two legions of the Lucy Kingdom came to Rome one after another.
At this time, the 27 newly built Tuntian Corps and the 27 newly built Town Guards of the Garrison Headquarters had all been formed, and the Tuntian Corps and Town Guards who had not yet rushed to the garrison gathered in Rome City, making Rome City extremely lively.
One day at the end of the month, standing at the head of the Roman city wall at the white peak facing the sunset, looking at the endless military tents and dense barbarian warriors outside the city, he suddenly remembered that he had not checked the military attribute table of the Roman city for a long time.

PS: In order to calculate this military attribute table, Chasing Wind spent nearly three hours, flipping through the previous chapters little by little, because Chasing Wind himself forgot about ...... In addition, for the sake of statistics, the Eighth Army Corps and the First Fleet, which have not yet been fully established, are counted as full strength.
