Chapter 1010: "·Auxiliary Legion"

We have forgotten that money is for use. On the contrary, money has become a sign of our identity and status. Then, we began to compare it with others, rather than enjoy it. This has become a pathological condition, and making money has become the opposite of healthy living.

The number of Lusi prisoners of up to 60,000 or 70,000, it is certainly unrealistic to put them back to the settlement they belonged to; these militant barbarian warriors, staying in their settlement, will sooner or later become the city of Rome in the northwestern area of ​​Lu Obstacles to the progress of urbanization.
In order to avoid this situation, it was the common method of Bai Feng to incorporate the captured Luxi warriors into the Roman army; from the initial Tasia tribe, to the later Aisini tribe, to the Witt tribe, Bai Feng, a trial and error This approach is very recognized.
The problem now is that even though Bai Feng has the intention to include all the Lucy prisoners of war in the Roman army, the excessively large number of Lucian prisoners of war is still a big trouble for the Roman city where the army has its heavy responsibilities.
Especially with the presence of Gregory, Roderick, and Hall, the three of them were once three famous Lucy generals in the west of Megatron; this means that as long as they live in this world for a day, those who lost the tribe The Lucy fighters will pay tribute to them.
Although there is an insurmountable chasm between respect and allegiance to follow, who can guarantee that the Luxi fighters who lack faith will not have allegiance to their former names?
Regarding the handling of the issue of Lucy prisoners of war, Bai Feng almost had a general idea in mind: that is, all the prisoners of Luxi were all included in the Tuntian Legion of Rome; the soldiers of the Tuntian Legion loyal to Rome were used to dilute the prisoners of Luxi. And cut their threat.
After Bai Feng informed Lu Quesi of his thoughts, it was rare for him to not agree with Bai Feng's ideas. Instead, he made some new suggestions to Bai Feng on the issue of the combat effectiveness of the Roman legion.
"Lucius, do you mean that with the current establishment of our Roman legion, it is difficult to form a unique combat force?"
"Governor, I think that the current establishment of our Roman legion can only handle some local small-scale battles at best; once the scale of the battle is upgraded and the number of enemy troops reaches 30,000, our Roman legion appears to lack the strength of independent combat."
"Is it because the size of the legion is too small, which caused it?" Bai Feng, who did not personally command the Roman legion to participate in the war, humbly asked Luquiz: "Or are the weaknesses of the individual arms of our Roman arms exposed?"
"The Governor, the Roman light infantry, the Roman youth army, and the Roman heavy infantry that make up the main force of the Roman legion are all outstanding soldiers; although their individual combat power is not as good as that of the barbarian warriors, the fighting power they exert is far more than the barbarian warriors. "
Speaking of which, Lu Quesi seemed to be afraid that Bai Feng did not understand, and gave him an example: "Taking this battle as an example, the 10,000 generals of the 5th and 6th Roman legions not only blocked more than 50,000 enemy soldiers. 'S offensive also stabilized the enemy during the battle."
After a little explanation, Lucius expressed his thoughts: "In my opinion, what really limits the combat effectiveness of the Roman legion is not that the individual arms of the Roman armies are weak, nor that their strength is too small, but to cooperate with them. Has too few auxiliary troops."
"Too little auxiliary force?" Bai Feng, who understood the profound meaning of Luquis's words, frowned slightly: "Each Roman legion has three long-wing archers as auxiliary, and if they add their auxiliary force, will it Cause the army to be bloated?"
"In the Roman legion full of 15,460 soldiers, the continued addition of auxiliary soldiers will indeed cause a bloat in the legion." Lucius took out a copy from the space ring. Prepared plan, hands Bai Feng said:
"Governor, this is the plan for the formation of the auxiliary legion based on the actual performance of the Roman legion in this battle. Please take a look."
"Auxiliary legion formation plan?!" Suddenly remembered Bai Feng in the real history of the relationship between the Roman legionary and its auxiliary legion. After reaching out to take over the formation plan handed over by Lucius, he did not immediately express his position, but slowly browsed this content. Very specific formation plan.
About five minutes later, after carefully reading each word of Bai Feng, he put down the formation plan in his hand, raised his head and asked Luquiz: "Lukequis, you want to form a separate Roman legion outside the Roman legion. An auxiliary legion composed of barbarian warriors?"
"At this stage, this is true." After Luquiz nodded, he added: "However, with the further development of our Roman city forces; the soldiers who constitute our auxiliary legion, of course, cannot be limited forever. Yuman warrior."
"This is natural," Bai Feng said with approval. "The formation of a single auxiliary legion will have no benefit to the development of our Roman legion's strength; a diversified auxiliary legion will be our effective way to increase the Roman legion's ability."
Based on his understanding of the Roman legion in real history, Bai Feng naturally understands how important the auxiliary legion is to the Roman legion. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why the Roman empire was able to be established relied on the reform of the Mallorian Army and the Roman legion. Professionalization.
The reason why the Roman Empire can grow into an enduring, the only empire that ruled the European world for centuries or even thousands of years; among them, the Roman auxiliary legion, composed of various barbarian warriors and other civilized warriors, played a vital role effect.
Dalmatian knights, Thracian sword fighters, Spanish mercenaries, Cretan archers, Illyrian javelinmen, Greek peninsulae, etc., these are all from the various empires The powerful armies of the region formed the auxiliary corps of the empire.
Undoubtedly, the development of the Roman Empire's auxiliary legions was basically a history of the Roman Empire stepping towards the peak; so that the Roman Empire, which was in its decay stage, had to rely on their powerful auxiliary legions to maintain the survival of the empire.
The Roman Empire, which was supported by the alien auxiliary legions, did not ultimately escape the fate of being destroyed by the aliens. Considering it from another angle, if the long-term support of these alien auxiliary legions hasn’t lasted for years, can the Roman Empire really become an unprecedented millennium empire?
Those who really understand the history of Rome know that whether it is the Western Roman Empire that died out early, or the Eastern Roman Empire that lasted until the end of the Middle Ages; in the final analysis, they all originated in Rome on the Apennine peninsula, and they are rooted in the Roman Empire. .
The so-called Byzantine Empire is just a historical term used by later generations to distinguish the Roman Empire, the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire and other stages of the Roman Empire; if the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire is not in Byzantium, there is also the Byzantine Empire ?
In view of this, Bai Feng is very interested in the plan proposed by Lucius to form the auxiliary legion; but is it a bit risky to use the newly captured Luxi warriors to form the auxiliary legion in Rome?
