Chapter 621 The Empire's Great Expansion

"Masters, maybe you underestimated the victory the empire has achieved in Xuantian Continent."

"During the initial war on the Xuantian Continent, the empire completely conquered the southern region, one of the five regions of Xuantian."

"The population is tens of billions, the gold and silver treasures are like a vast ocean, the cultivation resources are countless, and the seizures of various weapons and exercises are piled up like endless mountains."

"After this war, the empire will not have to worry about population, wealth, resources, exercises, food, living space, etc. for at least the next thousand years."

"After a big gamble, what you won is a path of development full of magnanimity and brilliance."

"And after the victory of the imperial campaign, another result came."

"That is now, not counting the more than 30 million teachers who have gone through the battlefield. The teachers of tigers and wolves who have experienced hundreds of battles."

"Even within the Xuantian Southern Territory, there are at least 70 million imperial troops stationed there."

"Before and after, the imperial army has expanded wildly to hundreds of millions of people."

"You said, with such a large army base, can't you find tens of thousands of materials that can be built?"

Shi Liji was smiling at this moment.

However, Lu Xun and the others were undoubtedly shocked.

Not only Lu Xun, but even Jiang Shang and Sun Wu, the two figures known as the sages of soldiers and ancestors, were full of shock at this time.

Hundreds of millions of troops, this has exceeded their imagination.

Originally, they thought that the more than 30 million elite sergeants brought back by Xi Liji had already refreshed their worldview.

Unexpectedly, this is just a beginning and a prelude.

Just as Chiliji said, it is still a very simple matter to select tens of thousands of buildable materials from an army of hundreds of millions of people.

Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The first priority for military expansion is money, grain and armaments, and the second is whether there are enough middle- and low-level or middle- and high-level officers.

Both are indispensable, but now that both are prepared, great things can be accomplished!

"Okay, since that's the case, let's also complete the expansion of the imperial army."

At this time, Ying Ji was also in a good mood, and said the second important task of the day.

And everyone nodded silently.

Indeed, today is different from the past. Today's Daqin Empire spans all realms, and even occupies a territory in one of the thousands of worlds.

The subordinate territory is billions of miles and the population is tens of billions.

Faced with this situation, the imperial army has indeed expanded to meet the domination of such a huge territory and full preparation for future wars.

Don't get me wrong, don't look at the fact that Daqin now has hundreds of millions of troops, but the vast majority of them are just cannon fodder troops belonging to the two battalions of the Dead Warriors' Battalion and the Qianfeng Battalion.

The Qin army had only more than 1.7 million soldiers and soldiers in the corps, and even the criminal army could not be regarded as the official army of the Qin army.

Now, in the eyes of everyone, His Majesty the Emperor is also planning to initiate military expansion and officially expand the imperial army.

"Different from the adjustment of the legion, I have made plans for the expansion of the Daqin army a few months ago, and now I have drawn up a general charter."

"In my plan, in addition to the three titled legions, the empire will expand to 85 legions on the basis of the original 15 officially organized legions, reaching the level of 100 reorganized legions."

"There are twenty A-type regiments, thirty B-type regiments, and fifty C-type regiments!"

"The Empire's original B Corps and C Corps were unified and upgraded to A Corps after the expansion."

"And since then, the extra-staff treatment of the prisoner army will also be cancelled, and the prisoner army will be included in the official establishment of the empire."

"And it has been decided by me that after the expansion of the criminal army is completed, it will also be upgraded to the fourth titled army of the empire, and the number of imperial army will also reach 104 from now on."

Hearing what His Majesty the Emperor said, everyone was not surprised.

Expanding the official army of the empire to a hundred giants is simply an easy task for an empire that now has hundreds of millions of soldiers.

As for the direct upgrade of the criminal army to the titled army, it is better understood.

You must know that although the prisoners' army was not very good in the past, it was an army composed of prisoners and prisoners from all countries in the world, but the background was hard enough.

Bailifeng, deputy general of the criminal army, and after Bailixi, the famous minister of Daqin, is a family of meritorious people in Daqin.

The main general Zhang Han, the red man in front of the emperor's majesty, is in charge of the shadow guard, one of the two important weapons of the empire.

In addition, he also served as the Shaofu. His position was not high but he was powerful. Sometimes he was closer to the core of the empire than they were.

Moreover, the performance of the convict army in the battles over the past few years is obvious to all. They are brave and good at fighting, winning a hundred battles, fighting evil and tough battles, and turning defeat into victory in the face of adversity is even more commonplace.

This is even more true in the expedition to the Xuantian Southern Region. They have advanced all the way and are invincible. Their attack speed has even surpassed that of the Huangfu Song Corps of the First Class A Corps of Daqin.

With such military exploits, coupled with such a background, the promotion of the Criminal Army to the fourth titled corps of the empire is naturally a certainty.

"Alas, the empire has been in constant war for many years. Although it is a swallowing route, the steps are still too big."

"According to our estimation, it will take at least three or five years to adjust and expand the legion and initially digest the fruits of the war, and it will take more than ten years to complete."

"It seems that in these years, the empire does not need to open the door to a new plane."

Upon receiving this, Ying Ji also said with a sigh.

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

They understood that what Ying Ji said was right.

In the past four years or so, the empire has come a long way.

Although we have won, the sequelae are still obvious. Many of the ten thousand-year plans that need to be completed step by step, such as the school palace plan and the second world development plan, are progressing slowly due to the delay of the war.

Blacksmithing also needs to be hard on its own, and sharpening knives will not accidentally chop woodworkers.

Taking advantage of this long rest period, it is time for the empire to comprehensively strengthen its own interior.

"In addition, hundreds of millions of soldiers are too many for the empire, and it is the so-called soldiers that are not too many but are better."

"In fact, I have always known that many sergeants in the two battalions have the idea of ​​​​living a stable life with the wealth of beheading in their hearts."

"I don't want to live a life like licking blood on the knife's edge again. There is no tomorrow in today's life."

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I don't blame them. This is what I promised them before, and I will never stop it at this moment."

"In a word, four titled corps, 100 reorganized corps, a total of 104 corps, only need to leave 63 million soldiers."

"The remaining 40 to 50 million troops will be eliminated after each of them pays a generous settlement fee."

"There is also the adjustment of the three titled legions and the fifteen imperial legions and the expansion of the other eighty-five imperial legions. I will ask you all."

Looking at Sun Wu's crowd, Ying Ji also said with a slight smile.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers are not as good as their mission, and they will do their best to forge an important weapon of the empire."

At this moment, since Lu Xun, Sun Wu, Jiang Shang, Zhao Yong, and Xi Liji all spoke in unison, their voices were firm and they meant firmness.

Looking at the crowd, Ying Ji understood that a wave of military expansion that would last at least several years was coming.
