I'm miserable, and I long to turn to God. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, it is I who should serve God and not God who serve me. Just stop for a moment to think about it, and your pain will fade away.

The small families that were conquered by the Sanada Red Reserve Army were all weak families, and with the demise of the families, the people under the rule of these families naturally belonged to the Yanhuang family, so Sanada Masayuki should also release those captured peasant soldiers.

As for the captured samurai and ashigaru, Sanada Masayuki only chose hundreds of prisoners of war who were willing to surrender to replenish the losses of his army, while the rest of the captives were sent to Minohe Castle to wait for the returning governor to be disposed of.

Compared with Sanada Masayuki, who captured a lot, Izumiyama Koyasu, who conquered no more than five families, only sent less than 1,500 prisoners of war to Sannohe Castle, and there were not many independent families near Nobeji Castle, which was the main reason why Izumiyama Koyasu did not capture much.

After learning about the situation of the Yanhuang family in detail in the last month, Bai Feng, who had been chatting for a long time, asked Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi to handle their military affairs;

The 5,000 captives sent to Sanohe Castle by Sanada Masayuki and Izumiyama Koyasu were also a considerable fighting force, especially under the premise that the forces they were loyal to had been destroyed, they might as well join the army of the Yanhuang family instead of wasting food in vain.

In the absence of allegiance, there is no soil for the so-called loyalty, and even the barbarian warriors in the eastern region have become soldiers of the Roman city, not to mention the soldiers of the Yamato Empire, whose loyalty is not very high.

If the samurai of the Yamato Empire had been as loyal as they proclaimed, then the Yamato Empire would not have the troubled times it is in now, because all samurai had only one of their most effective loyalties, and that was their nominal supreme ruler, the Emperor!

From the rightful supreme ruler of the Yamato Empire to the puppets who were unable to even handle the enthronement ceremony, the daimyo of the Yamato Empire destroyed the original order of the Yamato Empire with their own hands, and the emerging order was the law of the jungle for the survival of the strong.

In such a chaotic world, the loyalty of the upper class warriors may still be trustworthy, but the loyalty of the lower class ordinary soldiers is extremely untrustworthy, and such a cruel reality is not necessarily a bad thing for the newly rising Yanhuang family.

If you want to deal with an ironclad opponent, you always have to pay a heavy price, and even if you can win a temporary war, it is difficult to achieve a final victory, and China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is the most typical example.

It is precisely this chaotic and chaotic era that is the best environment for the rapid rise of a force, and countless former enemies can become part of the expansion and growth of their own forces under their own powerful military oppression and the tangible benefits they provide.

The 10,000 new troops that Hakumine had just brought to Mutsu were all elite warriors carefully selected from the prisoners of war of the Vitte tribe, and their combat effectiveness was only stronger than that of the ordinary samurai of the Yamato Empire, but they lacked the experience of fighting the Yamato Imperial army.

Therefore, in this war in which the Yanhuang family unified the Mutsu Kingdom, the newly built Yanhuang Standing Army would serve as the main force, while Sanada Masayuki's Sanada Red Reserve Army and Quanshan Gukang's Izumiyama Mobei Army would be responsible for assisting the Yanhuang Standing Army.

Early tomorrow morning, the Kunohe Standing Army under the command of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyori will be formally disbanded, and all the soldiers drawn from the First and Second Legions will be immediately sent back to Rome to form the First and Second Legions.

Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who had previously served as commanders of the Kunohe Standing Army, will be appointed commanders of the Yanhuang Standing Army, the longbowmen of the three wings will be commanded by the strategist Nobuyoshi Sanada, and the elite infantry of the two wings will be commanded by the brave Sanada Nobuyuki.

Of course, nominally Bai Feng was still the supreme commander of the Yanhuang Standing Army, and only in this way would Sanada Masayuki and Izumiyama Koyasu, who were older and higher-ranked, willingly lead the army to assist the Yanhuang Standing Army in attacking the Tsugaru family and the Spo family.

In addition, although the rebellion of the former ministers in the south did not affect the rule of the Yanhuang family, after all, it exposed the unstable status quo of the Yanhuang family's internal rule, so the southern standing army of Nanfang Xinzhi will continue to stay in the mainland and serve as the local garrison.

Since the southern standing army had to take on the heavy task of garrisoning each city, the southern standing army, which was originally stationed only in Sanhe Castle, naturally had to be dispersed to other cities, and the southern standing army, which had only 8,000 soldiers, was divided into four cities, and its strength was somewhat insufficient.

Because once the war breaks out, the Yanhuang family can only do anything to one of the Tsugaru family and the Spo family at most;

In this way, if the Yanhuang clan were to attack the Tsugaru clan in the northwestern part of the country, the Hachinohe Castle of the Yanhuang clan would be threatened by the Spo family, and conversely, the wild frontier dungeons near the Tsugaru clan would be threatened by the Tsugaru family.

In order to ensure that Hachinohe Castle or the wild frontier fortress was not captured, the southern standing army had to send at least 4,000 soldiers to garrison one of the two castles, and in addition, Hakumine would also draw the longbow wing of the governor's guard to serve as the main force of the castle garrison.

The defenders of the city, consisting of 4,000 ashilight troops and 2,000 longbowmen, could definitely withstand the onslaught of the Tsugaru family or the Spo family, and the longbowmen of Rome were famous with the blood and lives of the enemy!

In addition to a city near the border that needs to be heavily guarded, the city of Kunohe connected to the port of Kuho also needs a certain number of troops to garrison, this is the link between the city of Rome and the Yanhuang family, and Bai Feng will never allow anyone to destroy it.

It happened that there were about 5,000 captives in Sanhe Castle, and Bai Feng, who already had a plan in mind, was ready to expand the size of the southern standing army from 8,000 to 10,000 people, of which 4,000 were stationed in the border city, 3,000 were stationed in the nine cities, 2,000 were stationed in the three cities, and 1,000 were stationed in the other city.

The remaining 3,000 captives were all included in the Yanhuang Standing Army and were under the command of Sanada Nobuyuki; the Yanhuang Standing Army, which was formed by 10,000 barbarian warriors, would certainly pay a lot of casualties in one battle after another in the future, and these casualties needed to be replenished in time.

It was unrealistic to send barbarian warriors from Rome City, and Bai Feng, who was about to return to the Celestial Dragon Empire soon, did not have the time and energy to deal with these matters, so in the future, the replenishment of the Yanhuang Standing Army could only be drawn from the soldiers of the Yamato Empire itself.

These 3,000 prisoners of war assigned to the Yanhuang Standing Army were only the first batch of Yamato Imperial officers and soldiers to enter the Yanhuang Standing Army; in the future, more Yamato Imperial officers and soldiers will be added to the Yanhuang Standing Army, and the scale of the Yanhuang Standing Army will be further expanded.

According to Bai Feng's vision, the Yanhuang Standing Army should develop into the most elite main army of the Yanhuang family, and moreover, it is a mixed army with barbarian warriors as the core, supplemented by the samurai of the Yamato Empire and Ashigaru!
