Most people don't want the truth, they just need comfort.

"Luquis, the formation of auxiliary legions for the Roman legions is indeed an effective means of increasing the combat effectiveness of the Roman legions. Bai Feng said to himself with doubts: "But if you use a large number of Lucy prisoners of war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ensure the loyalty of our newly formed auxiliary legion." ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng did not let Lu Quis answer what he meant, but gently tapped the handsome case in the military tent by himself; Lu Quis, who knew Bai Feng very well, knew that Bai Feng was thinking by himself, so he didn't bother, just stood quietly in place.

After thinking for about five minutes, Bai Feng took the initiative to break the silence in the military tent and said, "Luquis, how about using the soldiers of our Tuntian Legion and Lucy's prisoners of war to mix, and transferring the elite to form an auxiliary legion, and reorganizing the remaining soldiers into the Tuntian Legion in various towns, how about it?"

"Governor, mixing the loyal soldiers of our Tuntian Legion with the newly captured Lucy warriors is indeed a good way to temporarily stabilize the Lucy prisoners of war, and the loyalty of these Lucy warriors can be assured when the newly established towns are settled. ”

Lu Quis, who had not finished speaking, changed his words and said: "But in this case, the current scale of our Tuntian Legion is not very suitable; after all, those newly established towns directly under the Tuntian Legion also need to be cultivated by the Tuntian Legion, and we don't have so many soldiers. ”

"Then adjust the size of our Tuntian Army. Bai Feng said on the spot: "With the establishment of a new batch of directly subordinate towns, we already need to build another twenty-seven Tuntian Legions, and with the addition of the original eighteen Tuntian Legions, the number of Tuntian Legions will reach forty-five. ”

"There are forty-five Tuntian legions, if each of them has too many soldiers, how can we have such soldiers? Therefore, in order to adapt to the development of our Roman city, it is imperative to downsize the Tuntian legion. ”

Luquis said: "Governor, the Tuntian Legion is not only the second-line combat force and the first-line army reserve replenishment of our Roman City, but also the main producer of military rations in our Roman City; ”

"With the number of Tuntian soldiers we have in Rome, plus the number of Lucie prisoners of war, we have about 230,000 soldiers who can be used to form auxiliary legions and rebuild the Tutian legions, and according to your plan, each auxiliary legion will only need fifteen thousand soldiers. ”

"Governor, a single branch of the auxiliary legion, fifteen thousand soldiers is already the limit. Luquis explained to Bai Feng: "The Roman legion, which is assisted by these 15,000 soldiers, will have 30,000 soldiers, and it will already have the combat power to take charge of itself. ”

"Luquis, I'm a firm believer in that. Bai Feng smiled slightly: "With nearly 10,000 Roman soldiers as the main force, supplemented by 6,000 longbowmen and 15,000 barbarian warriors, how can they not be able to take charge alone? ”

"With our limited strength, it is impossible to devote all of our troops to the formation of auxiliary legions, and the formation of forty-five Tuntian legions also requires a large amount of our troops. So, we can only form a maximum of three auxiliary legions this time. ”

Regarding Bai Feng's decision, Luquis, who had previously wanted to form five auxiliary legions, had no objection, and he changed the subject: "Governor, once the formation of these three auxiliary legions is officially announced, I recommend Gregory, Roderick, and Hall to serve as the commanders of the legions. ”

"Are the three famous generals of the Luxi tribe?" Bai Feng, who did not show a look of surprise on his face, said meaningfully: "I hope their performance will not disappoint you and me, otherwise, the three captains of the Licinius, Vermina, and Ba'ans are not so easy to get along with." ”

After the formation of the auxiliary legion and the selection of the commander of the legion were decided, Bai Feng and Luquis finalized the official name of the auxiliary legion, and this time, the two people, who were obviously suspected of being lazy, decided to directly use the name of the "Roman auxiliary legion" as the number to name the auxiliary legion.

The 1st Roman Auxiliary Legion, the 2nd Roman Auxiliary Legion, and the 3rd Roman Auxiliary Legion are the official names of the three auxiliary legions to be formed, and the commanders of the three auxiliary legions are Hall, Gregory, and Roderick.

In order to avoid the incident of the auxiliary legion overpowering the Roman legion, the cautious Bai Feng made Gregory, the most intelligent of the three famous generals of Lucy, the commander of the Second Roman Auxiliary Legion;

The iron-walled general Vermina, an existence who is listed as the twin generals of the Carthaginian kingdom alongside Hannibal, the god of war, is in charge of the Second Roman Legion and the Second Roman Auxiliary Legion, no matter how capable Gregory is, it is impossible to make any waves.

The total number of Tuntian Corps will soon be increased to 45, each of which will have two Tuntian Brigades, and each Tuntian Brigade will have four Tuntian Brigades under its command, with an establishment of 4,000 soldiers.

The Tuntian Command, with General Gamilios as its commander, originally had six Tuntian Military Regions, each of which managed three Tuntian Corps; after this round of expansion, the number of Tuntian Military Regions under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Command will be increased from six to nine.

In other words, the number of Tuntian legions under the jurisdiction of each Tuntian Military Region will be increased from three to five, and there is no doubt that the city of Rome will not only have to add 27 Tuntian Commanders, but also three Tuntian Military Region Commanders who are not inferior in rank to the commanders of the field legions.

The appointment of the three commanders of the Tuntian Military Region, Bai Feng naturally would not hand over the appointment to someone he did not trust, and only his most loyal loyalists could receive this important task; as for the position of the commander of the twenty-seven Tuntian Regiments, Bai Feng did not mind taking it out to inspire the Roman soldiers.

In the war of the Roman army to unify the eastern regions, there were generals like Nelson who made mistakes, and there were generals like Aldington who made mistakes, and those who made mistakes were duly punished, and likewise those who made meritorious contributions were duly rewarded.

Among the twenty-seven Tuntian Legions that will be formed, the captaincy of the fourteen Tuntian Legions will be used by Bai Feng to reward the most outstanding meritorious generals, and the remaining thirteen Tuntian Legion Commanders will be used for political purposes.

For those leaders of the Eastern Alliance who surrendered voluntarily, the leaders of the Lucy settlements who behaved well, and some generals who surrendered with really good ability, appeasing these people can't just rely on gold coins and appropriate power to give them to really submit.

Anyway, as long as Bai Feng is willing, the person who actually controls the Tuntian Legion is not necessarily the corps commander, but may also be the co-captain below, or the captain; the Tuntian Legion, which is headed by someone with unknown loyalty, and its subordinate officers at all levels must be the henchmen arranged by Bai Feng.

In this way, even if a person with bad intentions sits in the position of the commander of the Tuntian Legion, he will not be able to do anything to endanger the city of Rome, because the captains and captains who actually control the legion will not give him any chance to endanger the city of Rome at all!
