"Before I knew it, I had been in Liaodong for five years!"

"From the beginning of the number of people is only thousands, the number of soldiers is not more than a song, poor and precarious, to now there are more than two million people, tens of thousands of soldiers, and more than thirty percent of the cavalry!"

"From a dilapidated Liao team city at the beginning, to more than 20 cities such as Xiangping, Goguryeo, and Liao Army, the ...... of Xianbei, Buyeo, Goguryeo and other ethnic groups are overlooked."

Back in Xiangping, every day Gongsun Du dealt with various affairs, but also suddenly looked back, remembered the experience of the past few years, not only felt that a thousand words were only a handful of bitter tears, but also felt that from scratch, the people were rich, lived and worked in peace and contentment, from weak to strong, repeatedly repelled the foreign races that came to invade, so that they did not dare to easily offend, full of pride.

"Well, this idea is a bit dangerous, but no, pride makes people complacent, and they will naturally fall behind, and the end of the Han Dynasty is a turbulent era, and once you fall behind, you will be eliminated. I can't be eliminated, or else I'll be too embarrassed to be a traverser. ”

The third life is a human being, so that Gongsun Du has a very strong toughness in his heart, and his control is not weak, and he is not really confused by this achievement.

"However, there is a saying that 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles', and it is also necessary to take stock of the family's background."

Gongsun Du rummaged for a while, found the military registration in the study, and then made some rectification, and found that the words of Hu Yan and others were reasonable.

"I'm really a bit of a reckless soldier!" Gongsun Du shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then sighed, "The troubled times are coming, and living is the last word!" ”

Shake your head, shake off these negative thoughts, and look at the people in your hands.

Now there are more than 88,000 people in Liaodong, including 54,000 infantry, these are ordinary infantry, mainly used to defend the city, including spearmen, archers, etc.; There were 28,000 cavalry, of which 3,000 were light cavalry, and the rest were ordinary cavalry, but because they had been trained by the Tuoba brothers, they were not far from the elite cavalry of the grassland, surpassing the ordinary cavalry of the grassland.

There are another 1,000 pro-soldiers, although the number has not increased, first, there is no qualification, as the general of Duliao, the number of songs is in line with the laws of the imperial court, and now it is exceeded, and second, there is no need, a thousand people are enough. These 1,000 people are all veterans in the army, and their strength is strong. No matter what era it is, veterans are always stronger than new soldiers, especially these pro-soldiers or veterans after screening, a thousand people are comparable to the combat effectiveness of 10,000 people, even if they collide head-on with five thousand Xianbei elite cavalry, Gongsun Du is also confident that he will win the battle.

Then there are 500 heavy shield soldiers, 200 round shield soldiers, and 300 heavy cavalry soldiers, all of whom are special soldiers. The number is not large, but the strength should not be underestimated, if it is used well, it is stronger than tens of thousands of horse infantry troops.

The remaining 4,000 were naval forces, and due to the increase in the number of warships, Gongsun Du had to order an increase in the number of naval forces in order to improve the transportation of the population and enhance the heritage of Liaodong, which was expanded from 2,000 to 4,000 at the beginning of last year.

"This ancient special forces!"

Gongsun Du couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the heavy shield soldiers, round shield soldiers, and heavy cavalry whose number was only a thousand. It's just that it's not that he wants to increase it, otherwise it wouldn't be a "special forces".

"Anyway, people nowadays are barely able to eat, and it is not easy to have a thousand talented people. It will be seen that after the sweet potatoes are brought back, the extremely high yield can raise a group of special talents. ”

Thinking of sweet potatoes and other things, Gongsun Du couldn't help but drool a little. Everything is good now, just eat it here, even if it is a big family, it is not very delicious, after all, there are not many seasonings now. Although these sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other things are not delicious, they are really not bad at this time. Whether it's raising people, or raising livestock, it's good.

After fantasizing about the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes, Gongsun Du restrained his mind and frowned at the number of water armies.

The navy army gathered a total of 4,000, and Cheng Pu's expedition to the Americas had a total of 3,500 people, of which 200 were heavy shield soldiers, and the navy army accounted for the majority, attacking 3,300 people, that is, the remaining navy army was only 700.

Seven hundred, with large and small warships, there are only more than ten, and the strength of the naval army has shrunk significantly. Although there is no need for naval forces to fight now. But the transportation of this population cannot be stopped, and it cannot be wasted due to choking, the troubled times are coming, and sooner or later the navy will be useful.

"No, the number of the naval army must be expanded, and the plan to transport the population must not be terminated, and this is related to ......"

Traveling to this era, Gongsun Du had the idea of dominating the world very early, and the foundation of dominating the world was a huge population. Only with people can there be strength, and the more people, the greater the power.

"It's just, how many more people are appropriate?"

The expansion of the armed forces must not be blind.

Gongsun Du thought about it seriously for a while, took a letter, and then asked Huang Qing to send it out, and then asked his own soldiers to find Wei You and Mi Zhu.

Now there is no war in Liaodong, Wei You and Mi Zhu are both in the city, and it is very fast.

Gongsun Du didn't talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "Cheng Pu's expedition overseas this time took away most of the large warships, and even more so most of the navy, and now the navy is less than 1,000. Therefore, a certain decided to expand the water army, I wonder how many people do you think it is appropriate to expand? ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du looked at Mi Zhu, because the biggest impact of the army expansion is logistics, and Mi Zhu, as a cangcao rafter, naturally has the most right to speak.

But without waiting for Mi Zhu to speak, Wei You took the first step to speak: "Lord, my subordinates think that it is difficult to act in a hurry in this matter. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Du turned to Wei You and said in surprise, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei You frowned, and said: "The navy is different from the infantry army, and it is even more different from the cavalry army, and the training methods are very different. ”

Gongsun Du was stunned and speechless: "This ......"

Mi Zhu saw that Gongsun Du was full of embarrassment, and said: "There are still 700 sailors now, and I think it would be okay to let people train with them." ”

Gongsun Du was about to nod when he heard this, but he didn't want to, Wei You shook his head and said, "No, if that's the case, isn't it okay for everyone to be a general?" That's not messing around. ”

Mi Zhu was choked by these upright words.

Wei You also knew that it was indeed a little embarrassing for him to say this, but he couldn't do it if he didn't say it!

Gongsun Du didn't pay attention to these, but had already fallen into deep thought, thinking about what qualified naval generals there were at this time.

"Well, if you are qualified, you don't have to be so high, you have to be excellent."

It's a pity that even if the requirements are lowered, Gongsun Dusi thought about it and found that there was still no suitable candidate. It's not that there are no generals of the navy at this time, but most of these people are in Jingyang, and almost all of them are from families...... Some...... Force somebody's hand!

Even so, Gongsun Du still did not give up.

"Well, what Qingping said is reasonable!" Gongsun Du said, "But it is imperative for the navy to expand the army, let's see how much we can expand the army first?" ”

Seeing that Gongsun Du had made up his mind, Wei Yu didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu's heart was relieved, and he said: "Judging from today's grain stocks, if the infantry army and cavalry army do not increase, the army can be expanded by 5,000 at most." ”

"Five thousand?" Gongsun Duxi said.

Then he pondered for a while and said: "In the absence of naval generals, five thousand is too much, so two thousand will be tentatively set first, so that enough food can be left for emergency use, and the naval army can be increased." ”

"What the lord says is reasonable!" Wei You didn't pour cold water on it again, but said, "However, it's best to see if you can find someone who can train the navy, if you can find the best, although there is no war now, at least there is no problem with sailing." ”

This last sentence may be the key to Wei You's agreement, and he also wants to understand that the main purpose of Gongsun Du's move is to transport population to Liaodong, not to fight, at least in the short term. And after a long time, as long as Cheng Pu returns safely, everything will be solved.

"Okay, Zizhong, you go and prepare grain and grass first, and this training of the navy will be placed in Yujin." Gongsun Du arranged, "As for looking for people to train the navy, everyone is looking for it, and if they can find the best, if they can't find it, they will first be trained as a boatman." ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Subsequently, Wei You and Mi Zhu dispersed.

After the two left, Gongsun Du remembered something that could change Liaodong, and even the entire Han Dynasty and the whole world......
