I did not have the courage to examine the weakness of the wicked, for I found that the weakness of the wicked is exactly the same as that of the holy one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Bai Feng had already promised Webster to recruit a group of spellcasters, it was natural that Bai Feng, who was true to his word, would recruit ten new spellcasters after the Roman Youth Army and the Roman light infantry on the premise that he could not try to recruit assassins in a short period of time.

With the construction of the urban barracks and cavalry stables, the city of Rome was ready to recruit the Roman heavy infantry and Roman auxiliary light cavalry needed for the First and Second legions, and the replenishment of these two legions was about to begin in earnest.

In February's recruitment plan, three teams of Roman youth and three teams of Roman light infantry, as well as ten spellcasters, occupied more than half a month of the entire February, and for the remaining half a month, Bai Feng planned to recruit twelve teams of Roman light cavalry needed for the establishment.

In this way, by the end of February, the Roman youth army, Roman light infantry, and Roman light cavalry needed for the two core legions of the city of Rome would be replenished, and all that was left would be to recruit the Roman heavy infantry and Roman auxiliary cavalry.

After determining all the recruitment plans for February, Bai Feng clicked on the troops that should be recruited in the attribute table of Rome City;

When he was in the Great Temple of Apollo just now, Bai Feng, who was enthusiastic about sacrificial construction, forgot to continue to build buildings, and all the buildings that were instantly built by the power of faith have appeared in the city of Rome, and it is time to build new buildings.

At this time, there were still eight buildings left in the buildable construction of the city of Rome, including a shooting range, a market, an armor shop, a public bath, a crop rotation, a university, a square avenue, and an arena.

The value of the armor shop is not only to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the army of the Roman city system, but also to produce a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment every month, and the quality and quantity of weapons and equipment that the armor shop can produce are much better than that of the blacksmith shop.

The Blacksmith can produce enough weapons and equipment for 3,000 people per month, and the quality of weapons and equipment used by the armies of the Roman City system will be comparable to those used by the armoury system, and after upgrading to the armor shop, the number of weapons and equipment produced each month will reach enough to arm 5,000 people.

In other words, it only takes a year and a half for the 90,000 soldiers of the seven barbarian legions in Rome to be equipped with better weapons and equipment, and of course, the actual time required will be much lower than that, because the two Macedonian phalanx legions do not need to change their outfits at all.

The two Macedonian phalanx legions in Rome initially used all the weapons and equipment produced by the blacksmiths, and they only needed to upgrade them, without the need for large-scale reloading.

In this way, there are actually only five legions that need to be redressed as a whole, and the total number is less than 70,000, and considering that the longbowmen attached to each legion do not need to be redressed, the infantry, elite infantry, and cavalry that need to be redressed add up to about 50,000 people.

At that time, all the legions of the entire city of Rome can use more sophisticated weapons and equipment as long as the armor of the city of Rome is spread out at full capacity for ten months, and the combat effectiveness of the army of the city of Rome can be increased to a higher level!

With systematic training and running-in, sophisticated weaponry, rational composition, advanced tactical guidance, perfect coordination of arms, and strong command of generals, how can an army that has been painstakingly assembled not be an elite division?

Bai Feng, who was full of ambition, felt that after the armor was built, he could quietly watch the formation of the elite army of Rome City, and it was almost inevitable that the barbarian warriors with the best external conditions would become an elite army.

The city of Rome, which was on the right track, gave Bai Feng's ambition a real support, and the arrival of Vipsani completely freed Bai Feng from the mountains of government affairs, and he finally no longer had to be busy with those unfinished government affairs all day long.

Facts have proved that the handling of government affairs still requires professional personnel to do it; it is not unreasonable to say that Qin Shi Huang was exhausted to death by the complicated work of government affairs, at least Bai Feng felt that if he was as diligent in government affairs as Qin Shi Huang, he would definitely be exhausted to death.

The current power of the city of Rome is incomparably different from the Great Qin Empire established by Qin Shi Huang, and when Bai Feng was at his busiest, he handled less than one percent of Qin Shi Huang's daily affairs.

What's more, Bai Feng only needed to consider the development of the city of Rome and three potential enemies, while Qin Shi Huang needed to worry about not only the problems within the empire, but also the Xiongnu who were aggressive in the north and the barbarians who did not submit to the king in the south.

Even so, Bai Feng, who was barely diligent in government, was tired enough, and one can imagine how hard and tired Qin Shi Huang, who had to do everything himself, and fortunately, when he was in the Roman world, Bai Feng had cultivated a group of political masters.

The talents of prime ministers such as Vipsani were not lacking in the Augustan Empire in the past, and Bai Feng, who was good at discovering and cultivating talents, only needed to firmly grasp the direction of development by himself, and the specific affairs could be handled by professional people.

Not every outstanding ruler is a legendary figure with both civil and military skills, both ability and political integrity, and the vast majority of rulers are ordinary people who belong to the category of normal people, such as Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, there is a certain misunderstanding of Liu Bang's cognition in later generations; the real Liu Bang is not a hooligan ruffian who is not literate, let alone a lucky person who relies on luck and women to become the emperor, he is much more powerful than everyone imagined.

Bai Feng, who is familiar with Liu Bang's successful experience, attaches the most importance to one of Liu Bang's merits, that is, knowing how to make good use of people! Liu Bang is no match for Han Xin in terms of marching and fighting; Liu Bang is no match for Zhang Liang in terms of strategy and strategy; and no match for Xiao He in terms of logistics and government affairs.

Why can Liu Bang, who is incomparable to anyone, become the founder of the Han Dynasty, but Xiang Yu, who is stronger than Liu Bang in every aspect, has become a tragic loser; luck has never been the key to winning or losing, Liu Bang won the world by his own ability.

Bai Feng, who regarded Liu Bang as his idol, ruled the city of Rome in a way that knew how to make good use of it; Vipsani was good at handling government affairs, so Bai Feng would hand over government affairs to him; Licinius and Antio were good at charging into battle, and Bai Feng would hand over the elite legions to their commanders.

In the future, after Luquis, Carabis and other handsome talents who are enough to take charge on their own are summoned, Bai Feng will not only put a large number of elite troops under their command, but also hand over the generals who command various armies to them.

On the premise of ensuring loyalty and stability, delegating power is an excellent means to promote development; although the ambitious Bai Feng is a person who likes to be in charge of everything, he also understands the truth that people can control power but cannot be controlled by power!
