Chapter 889: "·Disarmament"

Happiness is what you think, say, and do are the same.
Mahatma Gandhi (the father of modern India, the greatest political leader of India, the founder of Gandhi)
The Khitan Army, which occupies the provinces of Alsace and Verdun, has half a million dragons in the Langer province to the south, 600,000 dragons in the west of Saint Dies, and Mulhouse in the east There are 400,000 Tianlong troops in Xing province and Langxiang province.
The 200,000 Qidan army is surrounded by 1.5 million Tianlong troops on three sides. This is a battle that has not yet begun and is already destined to be a result; it is not the fool’s Wan Yan bone fighting. At this time, he will not continue to fight his The army remained in the territory of the Dragon Empire.
On the fourth day after Bai Feng dispatched a large number of cavalry to regain the province of Mulhouse, he felt the three-faced threat of Wan Yangu, led his 200,000 Qidan army, and did not even bring many looted properties. He hurried to the northern grassland.
With the remnants of the Jianzhou Eight Banners being annihilated, the 200,000 Qidan cavalry troops were withdrawn, and the northern battle of the Tianlong Empire finally came to an end; this protracted war, on the surface, the Tianlong Empire won the final victory, but actually It was the Dragon Empire that lost the war.
For the time being, no matter how much manpower, material and financial resources the Tianlong Empire consumes, it will repel the three invaded grasslands of the south. It is only the price that the future empire needs to pay to rebuild the six northern provinces. That is enough to make the big empire do not want to get rid of it within ten years. Financial distress.
The six northern provinces of the empire that have been almost ruined, it is impossible to contribute a tax of one gold coin to the development of the empire for at least ten years. Instead, it will consume countless empire’s hard-earned taxes, which is only about to appear in the empire’s finances Part of the crisis.
The empire's extensive military expansion and successive operations during the war also brought great financial pressure to the Empire's financial department; the expansion of military preparations requires gold coins, the creation of weapons and equipment requires gold coins, the collection of grain and grass needs the gold coins, and the death of the warrior's pension needs the gold coins. !
It should be known that there are only thirty-six legions in the pre-war Empire, and this includes four royal legions and five standing legions stationed in the southern border. At that time, the total number of standing legions actually stationed in the empire was only twenty-seven. Pcs!
After the battle at Sunset Fortress broke out, the Imperial Army first formed eight standing legions from the military reserve, that is, the round of expansion when Bai Feng was appointed as the captain of the wing, and it was also the Empire Army in this one-and-a-half-year war The first round of military expansion.
Later, the grassland tribes in the northern part of the empire went south, and the seriously underpowered military had to bite the bullet and borrow money from the empire's financial department. Thirty-two standing legions were formed to reinforce the northern border of the empire. The second round of military expansion.
After the fortress of sunset and the fall of the imperial provinces in the east of the empire, the unprecedented military threat from the orc empire caused the empire that was internally rolled, the institutions were redundant, and the officials corrupted. It was rare that the empire of all departments of the empire united to support the imperial army The army expanded.
The Imperial Army, which was supported by Charlie the Great and Emperor Capital, has carried out two large-scale expansions, the first expansion of 36 standing legions, and the second expansion of 34 standing legions for Respond to increasingly fierce fighting.
After four rounds of military expansion, the Imperial Ministry still has hundreds of thousands of new recruits for the frontline army to quickly replenish after the loss; the war has reached this point, the profound Dragon Dragon Empire, the number of standing legions has reached a terrible 140 twelve!
A total of 142 standing legions, this is only the result of four rounds of military expansion under the auspices of the Imperial Ministry. If the fifth royal legion Yulin legion is added, the special legion such as the blast legion equivalent to the standing legion, Empire The number of troops has already exceeded three million!
One hundred and forty-two full standing soldiers are 2.84 million soldiers, five royal full soldiers are 250,000 soldiers, and seven special legionary soldiers are 140,000 soldiers; only a rough calculation, The number of regular troops of the empire reached an astonishing 3.23 million!
Among them, there were only six special legions, namely the Blue Jays, Dragon Slaughter, Blast Legion, Phantom Legion, Lance Corps, Cavalry Corps; after the Northern Wars, Lanok’s Jagged Guard was awarded Jagged by Charles the Great for his merits. Legion number.
Of course, this is only the number of legions and soldiers included in the Imperial Army’s combat sequence, similar to the personal guards and Eastern legions under Bai Feng’s command, and the five large private armies under the command of the Duke of Longde Steide. Are counted.
If the new elite city defense troops in the provinces that are no different from the regular army are included in the war as the war progresses, the total number of troops in the Tianlong Empire at this time must exceed 4 million, which is more than that of Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and East China Sea Jurchen. Has a large population!
Supporting such a large army is absolutely unbearable for the empire that urgently needs a lot of funds to rebuild the five eastern provinces and the six northern provinces. According to Bai Feng’s guess, the Imperial Ministry’s Mass disarmament will begin.
A large number of new standing legions that have not entered the battlefield will be dismantled, and countless recruits who have only received short-term training will be cut. Only the truly elite who have experienced battles on the battlefield can stay in the imperial army and defend the frontier for the empire.
Facts have proved that the measures taken by the Imperial Army after the war are exactly the same as Bai Feng expected; the war in northern Xinjiang has just ended, and the military department will dismantle the 22 newly built standing corps near the imperial capital, and at the same time be cut There are also 300,000 recruits from the military department.
Seventy-four thousand imperial soldiers restored their original imperial identity overnight; for these young men who were forced to join the army, it would be a happy thing to go to the battlefield and fight with the prairie cavalry, let alone They also have military pay.
Twenty-two newly established standing legions were disbanded on the spot, the biggest beneficiaries were ordinary soldiers, and the biggest victims were the three princes of the empire; because of the disbanded legions, they belonged to William, Harry, Pros, etc. The legion of the prince is not rare.
While the number of imperial standing legions fell from 142 to 120, the number of standing legions controlled by Prince William dropped from fourteen to nine, and the number of standing legions controlled by Prince Pross decreased from six to Four.
The number of standing legions controlled by Prince Harry fell from four to three. Instead, Prince Philip, who only controlled two standing legions, did not suffer any losses in this round of disarmament.
Compared with the other three princes, the most severely lost, Prince William, suddenly lost five standing legions. This kind of loss can be described as a broken bone; however, what makes Prince William feel helpless is that The dissolution order is not under the command of the army!
Think about it too. The ruler of the Imperial Army is Prince William’s grandfather, Duke Cullen. How could Duke Cullen give such orders that are obviously unfavorable to Prince William? Needless to say, this was an order given to the Imperial Army by Charlie the Great.
At the same time as this order was issued, there was also the order that Charles the Great ordered the governors of all provinces of the empire to strictly regulate the number of provincial defense forces in each line; the issuance of this order meant that the governor of each line could no longer be called in any name. Unscrupulous expansion of the city defense army.
The biggest victim of this order is, on the surface, the governors of all the provinces in the empire, but in fact it is Baifeng, which has the largest number of city defense forces; the most direct impact is the 20,000 city defense forces that Marquis Besançon expanded privately. Dissolve within a limited time!
