"Chapter 186: System Planning"

For those who have doubts about you, the best and safest precaution is to arrange them so that they are powerless to do anything if they want to harm you. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info pinning safety on the kindness and sensibility of others, is not commendable at all. Human nature is not so good and loyal.

When the Roman City system was just activated, Bai Feng struggled for many months to recruit the Roman Youth Army, which was barely one of the main forces of Rome;

The most powerful Monk and one of the most powerful special classes in the Shogunate system were able to be recruited at the same time as the Shogunate Hall system was activated, and in the first month, the number of Shogunate troops reached nearly 1,000.

This is still the result that Bai Feng only used one-third of the stone height to recruit regular troops, if Bai Feng used all the stone height to recruit the regular troops of the shogunate, and mainly recruited the spear with the lowest cost, then one month was enough time for Bai Feng to recruit tens of thousands of troops!

The recruitment cost of spear ashigaru is 200 koku per team, and the size of each team of all regular arms of the shogunate is 120 soldiers, and the stone height of 17,300 koku can recruit a total of 86 captains of spear ashigaru, which is 10,320 spear ashigaru!

Because the normal monthly income of the shogunate is 17,300 koku, the reason why there is only 16,300 koku this month is because there are 1,000 koku used to build the shogunate palace;

10,000 spear ashigaru can be recruited in a month, and 120,000 spear ashigaru in 12 months a year, even if the combat effectiveness of spear ashigaru is more than a step worse than that of spear samurai, bow samurai and other samurai soldiers, it is still much stronger than the ordinary ashigaru troops of the Yamato Empire.

Regardless of the peasant soldiers commonly used by the various families of the Yamato Empire, they are the ten most powerful families in the Yamato Empire, and the regular ashigaru troops of their families are also trained by ordinary young people, and their overall strength does not meet the standard of trainee samurai.

With first-level initial experience, the spear is achigaru, and the actual combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the trainee samurai of the Yamato Empire, and the army of 120,000 trainee samurai, plus the advantages of battle formations and weapons and equipment given to them by the system itself, this is a powerful elite division!

If Bai Feng really built such a huge army composed of 120,000 spear ashigaru, then any of the so-called ten major families of the Yamato Empire would be wiped out in front of the 120,000 spear ashigaru of the Yanhuang family.

Of course, the sane Bai Feng is not a mad rioter, he does not have the crazy idea of recruiting 120,000 spears a year; it is not that he is unwilling to unify the Yamato Empire as soon as possible, but the Yanhuang family and even the city of Rome cannot afford to raise a standing army of 120,000 at all.

Although the city of Rome had a formidable 300,000 army in terms of the number of troops, this 300,000 army was an imaginary concept, and the only standing army that really needed the support of the city was 100,000 barbarian elites, 30,000 system troops, and 15,000 direct troops.

The 150,000 or so standing army of the city of Rome was actually supported by 100,000 troops of the Tuntian, and the army of the Tuntian and the armies of the allies themselves were also counted in the military strength of the city of Rome, which gave rise to the seemingly terrifying number of troops in the city of Rome.

If it weren't for the 60,000 soldiers of the allies who were supported by the Acenian Kingdom itself, and the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Tuntian Legion who were supported by themselves, and who also shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting the standing army, the city of Rome would not have been able to support so many troops.

Therefore, the practice of recruiting 120,000 spears a year is crazy and stupid, and it is something that the city of Rome cannot afford, and it may be possible to achieve great feats of merit or to lead the city to self-destruction.

Steady development step by step is the best way for Bai Feng to develop in his heart, he will never ignore the safety of Rome itself in pursuit of too fast development, and his concept will not change after having the shogunate palace system.

In the next two years, it will be almost impossible to return to the city of Rome and the Hakuho of Mutsu, and he will not adopt a large-scale expansion of the army to increase the military strength of the city of Rome, and in addition to recruiting high-level troops, he will more adopt the method of recruiting special troops to increase his strength.

For example, each warship in Rome City is equipped with a spellcaster and a priest, each brigade of each legion in Rome City is equipped with a priest, and the Shogunate's special troops are used as the core to form the Sorrowful Dead, etc., through these special classes to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

Even, Bai Feng also has the idea of using spellcasters to form a mage group and shadow killers to form a killer group, and there are also sword masters and battlefield ninjas in the shogunate arms, which are also special classes that Bai Feng intends to focus on.

The limited number of recruits determines that the number of spellcasters and shadow killers will not be too large, and the high cost determines that the scale of Juggernaut and battlefield ninja will not be too large.

For the three special classes from the two systems, the Casterer, the Shadow Slayer, and the Juggernaut, Bai Feng's idea is to form a special single-class combat unit to exert their value;

The battlefield ninjas recruited by team are the only special class among all the special classes of the two systems that are not recruited by individuals, and the numerical advantage of twenty-four battlefield ninjas in each team gives battlefield ninjas greater strategic value.

Ninjas with only a second-level initial experience level can only protect first-level spies and secret envoys at most, and the assassination missions they can perform are also very limited.

In this way, how to enhance the advanced combat power of the Tragic Song Dead has become an important problem that Bai Feng needs to solve, and the existence of battlefield ninjas just helps Bai Feng solve this problem, and the twenty-four fourth-level battlefield ninjas are quite a strong combat force.

Battlefield ninjas who are proficient in assassination and frontal combat have stronger combat power than ordinary ninjas; below the same level, the average senior swordsman is no match for the battlefield ninja at all, and only a master at the level of the great swordsman can suppress the battlefield ninja.

The question is, where are there so many great swordsmen in the Celestial Dragon Empire? The sparse number of great swordsmen has invisibly increased the value of battlefield ninjas, so when the Sorrowful Song Dead Warrior is officially established, Bai Feng will recruit some battlefield ninjas to join them.

In fact, what Bai Feng lacked most at this time was not the personnel to form the Tragic Dead and the way to improve the strength of the Tragic Dead Warrior, but an intelligence commander who could command the Tragic Dead Warrior; whenever this happened, Bai Feng would miss the Tragic Dead Warrior in the Roman world very much.
