"Chapter 147: The Shogunate Army"
Any opinion you have about any one thing may limit your ability to see your true self.

With the arrival of the new month, Bai Feng, who was determined to give priority to the formation of the Eighth Legion, gave all the 30 recruitment places in December to the Eighth Legion; 16 teams of Roman heavy infantry, 7 teams of Roman light cavalry, and 7 teams of Roman auxiliary cavalry were enough to set up the basic framework of the Eighth Army Corps, and it only took another 36 days to build a complete Roman legion.
Of the 10,000 special training places in the urban military camp, Bai Feng gave 3,000 each to the Tuntian Regiment and the Town Guard in the expansion, and the remaining 4,000 special training places were given by Bai Feng to the soldiers who were about to be added to the field regiments to improve their combat effectiveness.
Although the battle for the unification of the Roman city against the eastern region was after the defeat of the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe, and the land on the north bank of the Cangluo River was captured as a fisherman, the various legions participating in the battle in the Roman city still suffered casualties of varying degrees.
A field regiment with a full strength of 14,500 soldiers, or a phalanx regiment with a full strength of 10,500 soldiers, and 3,500 soldiers killed in battle, are normal casualties, but the total number of six or seven regiments killed in battle is not small.
If the Roman soldiers of the Roman legion were killed or wounded, Bai Feng could directly use the systematic reorganization to restore the number and combat effectiveness of the Roman soldiers; as long as the soldiers of a single Roman army were not all killed, after the reorganization overnight, this team of Roman soldiers would return to a full state.
Although it was inevitable that the overall combat effectiveness of the reorganized Roman arms would decline, the time to replenish the troops in just one night, the superiority of the newly replenished soldiers in weapons and equipment, and their mastery of Roman tactics were unmatched by any other army.
In view of this, in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the Roman legions was not affected, Bai Feng gave priority to all the Roman legions of the 10,000 longbowmen in the shooting range, among them, the newly formed Eighth Legion alone occupied the quota of 6,000 longbowmen!
Fortunately, the other seven Roman legions' longbowmen suffered few casualties, and there were even three Roman legions' longbowmen's troops, which did not suffer any casualties at all, so the 4,000 shooting range training places were enough for all the Roman legions' longbowmen to be replenished to full strength.
Compared with the allocation of special training places for urban legions and shooting ranges, which must be carefully allocated, the allocation of special training places for cavalry stables is much simpler; the two cavalry legions in Rome should occupy the vast majority of the special training places in the cavalry stables.
Antio's Hammer Legion has been handed over to Bashirek by White Peak, and when the Hammer Legion returns to Rome, Bashirek will be newly appointed as the leader of the Hammer Legion, while Antio, who has no other tasks, will stay with White Peak and follow White Peak's expedition to the Yamato Empire.
The performance of the Hammer Legion in the battle of unification can not be described even by the word 'great meritorious', especially against the backdrop of the poor performance of the Roman Spear Legion, the Hammer Legion on the battlefield is even more dazzling.
Because of the poor performance on the battlefield, the Roman Spear Legion was renamed the Swift Wolf Legion by Bai Feng, and Nelson was reduced to the acting captain, which was not only Bai Feng's punishment for the Roman Spear Legion, but also his protection of Nelson, who had made great contributions to the city of Rome.
Merit is merit or demerit, the underperforming regiments are downsized, and the outstanding regiments are expanded, which is also the proper meaning of the question; the next special training quota allocation of the cavalry stables will reflect Bai Feng's differential treatment of the Heavy Hammer Legion and the Swift Wolf Legion.
The Roman Spear Legion, which originally had 10,000 barbarian light cavalry, was reduced to 8,000 cavalry after its name was changed to the Swift Wolf Legion, and the Hammer Legion, which had made great achievements, expanded its strength to 2,000 cavalry, bringing the number of cavalry to 6,000.
Before the war, the total number of cavalry in the two cavalry legions in Rome was 14,000, and after the war, the total number of cavalry in the two cavalry legions in Rome was still 14,000. It's just that the number of cavalry that the two cavalry corps each have has changed.
The number of cavalry required for the two cavalry corps to be replenished to full strength was about 8,000, while the special training quota for the cavalry stables was as much as 10,000, and the remaining nearly 2,000 special training places were given by Bai Feng to the Spartan regiment of cavalry troops with considerable casualties.
Similar to the phalanx legions of the Spartan legion, each legion had two cavalry wings with a full strength of 1,024 light cavalry; as long as they participated in the battle, the casualties of the light cavalry would certainly not be too small, and there was no way to do it, so it was particularly important to replenish them in time.
After successively determining the recruitment quota for December, as well as the special training quota for the urban military camp, shooting range, and cavalry stable, Bai Feng shifted his attention to the shogunate hall system;
The war that broke out against the Yanhuang family on the side of the Yamato Empire made Bai Feng determined to use a large-scale war to expand a broader living space for the Yanhuang family;
According to Bai Feng's idea, the four legions drawn from Rome City will only serve as the final reserve of the Yanhuang family, and will not rush to the forefront of the war;
Up to now, the shogunate army recruited by Hakumine, except for fifty teams of iron cannon gunners and one hundred teams of Notai sword samurai, who stayed behind to guard the northern frontier of the Tenryu Empire under the command of Goto Kiji, other shogunate soldiers have been stationed in the shogunate camp outside the city of Rome.
Shogunate Hall Attribute Table
Shogunate area: Mutsu Province (1,410,000 stone)
Shogunate assets: 147,100 stones
Shogunate income: 14,100 koku (1% of the ruling stone high)
Shogunate Figures (1541): Priest (1st level, 500), Spy (1st level, 575), Secret Envoy (1st level, 75), Ninja (2nd level, 265), Geisha (4th level, 30), Battlefield Ninja (4th level, 4th team)
Shogunate Army (42240): Notai Sword Samurai (3rd Rank, 100 Teams), Monk Soldiers (4th Rank, 20th Team), Infant Sword Samurai (3rd Rank, 10th Team), Spear Samurai (2nd Rank, 60th Team), Spear Ashigaru (1st Rank, 80th Team), Iron Gun Spearmen (3rd Rank, 82 Team)
Shogunate General: Goto Keiji (Junior Heavenly Samurai)
From the attribute table of the shogunate hall system alone, Bai Feng can intuitively see that the Mutsu Kingdom under the rule of the Yanhuang family has been occupied by the Uesugi family and the Date family, and because the Yanhuang family's ruling stone is high, it has dropped from 1.73 million stone to 1.41 million stone.
The fall of 220,000 Ishitaka territory was an unacceptable loss for the Yanhuang family, whose sphere of influence was limited to the Michinoku Kingdom, and for this reason, Hakumine had to recruit more shogunate troops to expand the scale of the war that was about to break out.
Of course, Hakumine is about to recruit not only the shogunate army that is charging into battle, but also the shogunate generals who command the shogunate army's battles, the spies who provide intelligence for the shogunate army, and the ninjas who assassinate the commanders of the enemy army at all levels, etc., these are all necessary combat resources for the expedition.
