After creating this atmosphere that the power of the alliance was imperative, Luo Ming gathered his followers and retainers and began to plan for the next step.

First of all, it is necessary to count the strength that you fully grasp and can command like an arm, and then make a comparison with the part of the force that you need to integrate, and then you can formulate a detailed plan.

Looking at the two worlds, since ancient times, if any reform is not integrated with reality, it is bound to fail.

Even if Gorubachev made a mess of the Soviet Union at the beginning, it cannot be said that it is only his responsibility, but there are many people at the bottom who want to take the opportunity to dig into the corners of socialism and add fuel to the flames together, so that so many of his brainless policies can be implemented smoothly, so no matter how much chaos he causes, he can't stop him.

"Da Kangqing, you can make a report first. ”

Da Kang immediately got up, although he was very tired during this time, but his eyes flashed with a fine light, and now he was even more excited when he talked about the strength that Luo Ming now mastered.

After all, although he also somewhat realized that Luo Ming had a great future, he never expected that only half a year had passed since he swore allegiance, and Luo Ming's family business had expanded more than tenfold.

Needless to say, it would be impractical to expand at this rate for another ten years. But even at a fifth of this rate, it would be a great expansion for another two years—that would be close to two million acres of land, close to a duke. This is, of course, also unrealistic.

But even if this rate will be reduced by much, many more in the future...... It must also be able to reach an astonishing scale before Da Kang's death - why should he be loyal to Luo Ming? It is to assist a "British master" to prove his talents, and slap the face of those who framed and discriminated against him before.

In this way, how could he not be excited?

Compared with this, giving him an official rank and becoming a knight is a small joy that is not worth mentioning.

"Today, the direct territory legally owned by the king has reached 123,518 mu, of which 39,231 mu is cultivated land and 28,000 mu is pasture.

There were 780 households, a total of 3,612 people. Among them, there are 264 regular soldiers, 1,120 have received militia training, and 135 young men have not joined the army.

If the army is not expanded, there will be enough food to eat until October this year. ”

What is the concept of October? It is two or three months after the autumn harvest, so there is no need to worry about food at all.

But the next topic is more troublesome.

"However, the king's territory is scattered all over the place, and I have roughly divided it into six regions, each of which has no obstruction of transportation, but there are some other people's territories between the regions.

Some of them have joined the covenant, as long as the king communicates, they can probably still be accommodating, but there are also a small number of people who insist on not joining the covenant, for this kind of person, we can only hope that after the monster attack, we can recover his family's lost territory. ”

By the time he said this, he had already gritted his teeth.

Although if the other party can protect himself, there is no need to join the covenant to bow down to Luo Ming and pay protection money, but Da Kang, as Luo Ming's loyal minister, does not think so, and has gradually brought a little bit of the idea that those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die.

It is estimated that even if Luo Ming directly went to rob their territory and then disguised himself as a monster to do a good thing, he would not object, at most he would worry about whether things could be done carefully.

After saying this, the rest of the matter will be reported by the others.

Now, all the nobles who have joined the alliance or have been rescued by Luo Ming's troops have correspondingly handed over some soldiers to be trained by Luo Ming, and they also participated in the battle with Luo Ming's army.

Those nobles felt that it was not a loss, because Luo Ming's good at training soldiers had become a household name, and Luo Ming, as the leader of the alliance, was originally equivalent to a half-monarch - it was a natural thing for courtiers to contribute some soldiers to the king.

There were more than two hundred and ten such soldiers, and if necessary, they could also be incorporated into Luo Ming's army.

Although the territory administered by Luo Ming will be returned in the future, the part that can be temporarily used now is 160,000 mu, and the human resources that can be dispatched by Luo Ming during this period are more than 3,000.

As a result, many of the things he wanted to do but were put on hold due to lack of manpower during this period of time had some results: earth cement, blast furnaces, and hot air balloons.

In addition, the Public Works Department has successfully cast many artillery pieces, and now Luo Ming has four Meiquan 1 mountain cannons and 16 tiger squat cannons.

In addition, there was also a cannon named Meiquan II Field Cannon that was successfully forged after three consecutive failures, and on that day Luo Ming also rewarded the relevant people with wine and meat, and gave the land.

It was basically a lengthened and thickened version of the Schönbrunn-1 mountain gun, and even the caliber was the same.

However, this cannon can reach a range of more than 2,000 meters with a limit charge, and even with a normal amount of gunpowder, it can hit 1,500 meters.

And it can maintain relative accuracy at a distance of nearly a kilometer - although the cannon will be disturbed by factors such as wind and gravity after being discharged, it is basically guaranteed to hit a centurion or a house.

Then, within two or three hundred meters, it seems not impossible to hit the leader of the enemy army, which is really remarkable.

As for gunpowder, these barons in his alliance all have some merchant connections, and the day before yesterday they sent a special team of soldiers to escort a caravan back and forth.

- This caravan alone brought enough gunpowder for all his guns to fire five times.

As for the money for the materials...... Not to mention that the funds given by Gandhi have not been used up yet, and he has received a lot of honorarium when he went to rescue various nobles during this time, and he has not spent it yet.

Luo Ming really wanted to see if there was an elite army that could charge under artillery fire from a mere county guard earl.

But until then, it's also a good idea to use artillery to deter the inside.

As soon as he said it, Luo Ming immediately ordered Dakang to be responsible for planning logistics and consumption, and personally led the Military Administration to formulate a plan for a military parade.

As a citizen of the Celestial Empire on the earth, who inherited the Red Country, how could he not understand the methods of military parades, and how could he not understand the benefits of military parades?

And what he wants to do is not just a military parade, there are many activities to be done together.

For example, prepare a "turnip" for the other members of the covenant.

Since ancient times, it has always been by means of the same as the turnip and the stick that a firm rule can be formed.

It's impossible to find a stick that is harder than a cannon in the whole county, but this radish has to be thought about.
