Chapter 236: The Empire's Powerful Opponent
Liu Feng was not worried about the phenomenon of the vassal states following the trend, because these did not pose a threat to their existing territories and forces, their territory expanded, and their own markets were correspondingly larger, and now Liu Feng instructed the Eastern Han financial companies of the Han Empire to do a good job in financial services overseas, and establish the necessary companies and banks to transport gold, silver and goods.

In this way, there is no need to worry about other things, the army stationed can basically eliminate the local bandits, as long as the country does not start a war with the vassal states, they don't have to care about the vassal states attacking their own territory, they don't have the courage to do so.
Now it was time to straighten out the military aspect, and Liu Feng convened a military enlargement meeting.
Below, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, Taliman, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals are on the east side; Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Chen Gong..... and other military staff officers are on the west side.
Looking at the retainers and good generals on both sides of the large field, Liu Feng sighed and said: "The weapons I got from overseas this time plus the weapons at home can basically arm a large army of 250,000 people, and when the wheat is ripe after a while, you can still equip some, almost completely equipping our army, I hope you will train your troops seriously, and there may be a war in the near future, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and the treatment of the army is the highest at all times!" Rest assured! ”
Liu Feng knew very well in his heart that the fundamental reason for Song Ming's failure was the low status of the soldiers, which would lead to a decline in everyone's combat effectiveness, this must be paid attention to, always vigilant, all resources are tight The army's politics is the most reliable, as for the people's resources are rich and eaten, don't think about using them if they have few resources.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the recent military training has been very formal, and after a series of things such as military uniforms, ranks, and military discipline, there is no such thing as stragglers, unorganized and undisciplined, once discovered, it will be dealt with strictly!" The princes Kong Ming shook his fan and said.
Liu Feng pointed to a few people sitting next to him and said, "These are all experts I invited, you all introduce yourself!" “
Tana stood up and said, "I'm Tana in charge of helicopter gunships, it's nice to meet you!" “
Dale cowered and walked up and said, "I'm an expert on automatic rifles and stuff, so it's nice to meet you!" “
Ao Balu said cautiously: "I am Ao Balu, who is mainly responsible for communication and observation, and I hope to integrate into everyone." “
"Very good, everyone has seen these three people, I will arrange for these three people to enter the barracks, Kong Ming is responsible for their care and security work, and a group of female trainees are recruiting to learn flying skills from Tana, and Dale is to let the craftsmen of the army learn from him, and Ao Balu is responsible for installing communication telephones and communication knowledge!" Liu Feng continued.
Kong Ming looked at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "The three people mentioned by the Prime Minister are capable people from abroad, and I don't seem to be the people of my Han Empire, nor are they the people of other vassal states?" “
Kong Ming's gaze was very unique, and he immediately saw the three people at the outside table with extraordinary strength, and they were not natives.
These guys were brainwashed and threatened by Liu Feng as early as when the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor came back, and they couldn't comply, and the other three guys had unique skills, how could they not work hard, or they would lose their heads.
Liu Feng told them that if you want to live, you must obey Liu Feng's leadership, no matter what you are sent by the Earth Federation, you are equivalent to a slave here, but you will live a more decent life.
"These guys like to run away, you show me tightly!" Liu Feng said to Kong Ming with a smile.
provoked Tana to roll her eyes, what does it mean to like to run, Dale and Ao Balu She doesn't know, but she will definitely not run, because running is probably worse than now.
"Your Excellency, it's the annual spring training season again, is this year's training destination still the same place?" Kong Ming asked.
Since the establishment of the Han Empire, in order to deter the princes of the world, the troops have often been trained on a large scale and remotely, and in order to avoid irritating the vassal states, they have only been carried out in Chenliu, Luoyang, Yingzhou, and Xuzhou, and the training period is generally three months.
"Well, what is the movement of the vassal states in the past few months this year, is there any special news?" Liu Feng thought for a while, looked up at Kong Ming and said.
"There is nothing important to happen, that is, Emperor Xian has changed since he inspected the Xiliang Republic recently, and he began to drum up his little thoughts, privately forming party members, colluding with some businessmen and families, there are obvious movements, the Xiliang Republic and the Republic of Bingzhou, the Republic of Jizhou, and the Southeast Republic have frequent contacts, and they all privately send people to contact Emperor Xian, I think the situation is a little complicated, just wait for the prime minister to come back and say!" Kong Ming's eyes were full of worry.
"Shikoku? Are so many vassal states involved? What are their troop strengths? Liu Feng was a little surprised, it seems that the implementation of a constitutional monarchy is still an unstable factor, because the reforms carried out by the vassal states of the world are the same as those of the Han Empire, which is basically implemented with reference to the legal system of the Han Empire, and it is a bit complicated to think about it now.
"Well, the Xiliang Republic has 100,000 assault musket troops, 200,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, 50,000 archers, and 10,000 sailors! Because of the occupation of the Western Regions Breeding Horse Farm, the equipped assault rifle army is basically a salvo force! Kong Ming said with a sigh.
Ma Chao's development speed has exceeded his imagination, and now it seems that he has underestimated the impact of this upgrade, but fortunately, he does not suffer in terms of weapons.
The range and power of the assault rifle are very different from those of the musketeers and the captured automatic rifles, and it can be said that it is normal to calculate according to five to one, but there are no absolutes in the world.
"And the republic of the state because of Cao Cao, Bai Rao. The combination of Zhang Yan and Zhang Yang has thus obtained the Monan Horse Farm in Hetao and other places, and now there are 80,000 musket troops, 150,000 cavalry, 300,000 infantry, 100,000 archers, and 20,000 sailors are as strong as today's military strength, and there is no one! Chen Gong took the list and reported.
I didn't expect this Cao Mengde to develop at a speed, is it really a coal mining base occupied by Bingzhou? Now the development is so strong, it should not be underestimated.
Now Liu Feng carefully calculated that Cao Mengde's total number of troops was 650,000, Ma Chao's troops were 510,000, and the two countries combined were nearly one million troops, and the reason why they developed so quickly was because the rapid population growth mode was opened during the first upgrade, and now the total population of Xiliang should be 10 million, and the total number of people in Bingzhou should be 12 million, according to this conscription ratio is not very high.
Liu Feng's latest domestic statistics are now 35 million, and the number of troops is 300,000, which is not comparable with Ma Chao of Xiliang Republic and Cao Mengde of Bingzhou Republic, but Liu Feng still has a lot of important things to do, it is impossible to spend all the money on conscription, and there are still many things that need to be stepped up.
"Well, how about Jizhou and the southeast? Isn't the strength so scary? Liu Feng asked, looking at the map.
"Jizhou has 100,000 cavalry, 60,000 assault muskets, 220,000 infantry, 170,000 archers, and 20,000 sailors, and its strength is basically not weak! As for the Southeastern Republic, there are 50,000 cavalry, 130,000 assault musketeers, 110,000 infantry, 80,000 archers, and 170,000 sailors! Kong Ming then reported.
Listening to this string of numbers, Liu Feng felt that Liu Bei, Yan Baihu and others were mainly in the future direction of the southeast, and looking at this number, it was really the general direction of the future. (To be continued.) )
