A person is like a fraction, his actual talent is the numerator, and his self-evaluation is the denominator – the higher the denominator, the less valuable the fraction is.

--Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

On the fifth day of mid-January, the marching procession, which had spread for dozens of miles, finally arrived at Sanhe Castle, the main city of the Yanhuang family, and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who had rushed back to Sanhe Castle ahead of schedule, had already prepared the necessary military camp for the reinforcements with the help of Nanbu Shinnao.

Because Nanbu Shinnao's primary task was to recruit new soldiers, there were a large number of recruiting points and barracks for recruits on the north and south sides of Sanhe Castle, so much so that the military camps for reinforcements were arranged by Nanbu Shinnao on the east and west sides of Sanhe Castle.

With a total population of only about 100,000, Sanhe Castle was the largest castle in Mutsu Province, but it was not a large castle in the true sense of the word.

Previously, when the 15,000 Southern Standing Army was stationed at Minohe Castle, only the most elite of the Southern Standing Army, 5,000 Ashigaru, was actually stationed in the castle, and the other 10,000 ordinary Ashigaru were all stationed in the barracks outside the castle.

The reinforcements that have arrived at Sanhe Castle now have more than 85,000 soldiers, and such an astonishing number of troops is not at all what Sannohe Castle can accommodate, and the only thing Nanbu Shinao can do is to make a vacant space in the city for Hakumine's personal guards.

Sanada Nobuyoshi, the commander of the Yanhuang Standing Army, had some knowledge of the composition of the reinforcement army, and he did not know that the Sixth Roman Legion under Marcus had been sent by Hakumine to the southern part of the Mutsu Kingdom, and suggested that Nanbu Nobunao build four super-large military camps for the reinforcement army.

These super-large military camps, which were rare in the Yamato Empire and almost never seen in Mutsu Province, could accommodate up to 50,000 soldiers each, and in terms of distribution, there were two on each side of the east and west sides of Sanhe Castle, and the distance between them was no more than 500 meters.

Bai Feng was not dissatisfied with the proper arrangements of Nanbu Shinnao and Sanada Nobu Shige, but Bai Feng, who only had more than 80,000 soldiers from three legions under his command, did not use all of these four super-large military camps, but only used the two super-large military camps to the east of Sanhe Castle.

The formation of the gendarmerie did play an extraordinary role in improving the military discipline of the two Lucie legions, but Bai Feng did not relax his vigilance because of this, and he decided to divide the Seventh Roman Army into two and station the two Lucie legions in one place.

With a full strength of 35,000 soldiers, plus less than 8,000 Roman soldiers, more than 42,000 soldiers were stationed in a barracks that could accommodate 50,000 soldiers, so naturally there was no problem; as for the coordination between the two armies during their stationing, that was something that the three army commanders and their co-captains should consider, and Bai Feng did not have time to waste on these trivial matters.

In order to prevent another incident of extremely bad conflict during the period when the two armies were stationed in one barracks, the No. 1 Military Police Squadron of Nanfang Rizhi and the No. 2 Military Police Squadron of Izumiyama Masayoshi were left in these two barracks by Bai Feng to manage and supervise the situation in the barracks.

The reason why Hattori's 3rd Military Police Squadron was not left in these two barracks was that Bai Feng needed to use the 3rd Military Police Squadron as the backbone, and transferred 200 elite ashigaru from each of the Yanhuang Standing Army and the Southern Standing Army to expand the 4th Military Police Squadron and the 5th Military Police Squadron.

The transfer of elite soldiers from the Yanhuang Standing Army and the Southern Standing Army to form two military police squadrons with a full strength of 200 gendarmerie was only a matter of order for Bai Feng; the crux of the question was who should be selected to be the squadron leaders of the two newly built military police squadrons.

The person who can serve as the leader of the military police squadron does not necessarily have to be a capable general, but there must be something worthy of Bai Feng's attention to him;

Hattori Heiji's father is known as Hattori Yasujo, who is known as an incomparably good minister, and his brother is the leader of the Yanhuang family's ninja army, Hattori Hanzo;

In the final analysis, Bai Feng kept Nanbu Toshinao, Izumiyama Masayoshi, Hattori Heiji and others by his side, which was nothing more than to win the hearts of Nanbu Shinnao, Izumiyama Koyasu, Hattori Yasujo and other important ministers of the Yanhuang family, so the appointment of the commander of the military police squadron was the same.

The seemingly noble reason for the symbolic significance of the post of military police squadron leader is nothing more than that Bai Feng himself personally concurrently holds the post of military police captain; this factor aside, the so-called military police squadron leader is not as powerful as an ordinary military captain.

In view of this, the people who can enter the candidate list in Bai Feng's heart are the heirs of the important ministers of the Yanhuang family, such as the Seven Elders of Yan Huang and the Five Generals of Yan Huang, and the ones who were finally selected by Bai Feng are Numata Nobutada, the son of Numata Yumitsu, and Ogasawara Masanobu, the son of Ogasawara Nobuki.

Since the surrender of the Yanhuang family, Numata Yumitsu and Ogasawara Nobuki's performance has indeed been quite good, and the significant increase in loyalty is also something that Bai Feng can see, and more importantly, with the imminent expansion of the Yanhuang family's power, Bai Feng needs to reuse them.

In addition to the cunning and unloyal Kantai Kanta and Nanbu Nobunao, who has already taken on a heavy responsibility, Numata Yumitsu, Hattori Yasagi, Kanehei Tsunori, Ogasawara Nobuki, and Moritsuna Nobuto among the Seven Elders of Yan and Huang are all targets that Hakumine will inevitably reactivate in the future.

Among the five elders of the Yanhuang family, the two sons of Hattori Yasujo have been reused by Bai Feng, and the sons of Kanehira Tsunade and Mori Tsunade Nobumoto are both very old and have not yet been served;

On the afternoon of the day when the 4th Military Police Squadron and the 5th Military Police Squadron were formally formed, Numata Nobutada, the son of Numata Yumitsu, was appointed by Hakumine as the squadron leader of the 4th Military Police Squadron, and Ogasawara Masanobu, the son of Ogasawara Nobuyi, was appointed by Hakumine as the squadron leader of the 5th Military Police Squadron.

That night, Numata Yumitsu and Ogasawara Nobuki, who had been idle at home in the name of the elders of the Yanhuang family, were summoned by Shiramine himself; after a proper conversation between the monarch and the ministers, Numata Yumitsu was appointed by Shiramine as the military advisor of the Yanhuang family, and Ogasawara Nobukiru received many promises.

Considering the current situation of the lack of talents in the Yanhuang family, the elders of the Yanhuang Seven Elders who have no important responsibilities will soon be reused by Bai Feng; Numata Youmitsu, who is good at military strategy, has become the military advisor of the Yanhuang family, and the appointment of other family elders will depend on their ability.

As for the name of the university, unless one day he can truly serve the Yanhuang family wholeheartedly and dedicate his loyalty without reservation, otherwise, all he can get will always be an empty title in vain.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Tanda Quantai himself, the selfishness and ambition in his heart are unknown to no one, and all the world can see is his deliberate loyalty;
