This is an inevitable change, and more importantly, with the popularization of the two-crop-a-year production model, food issues have gradually lost their dominant position.
This change is based on the national conditions of Yan State, which is a small country with few people. Yes, it is a small country with few people.
The entire Central Plains region has a total area of nearly two million people, but only has a population of 3.5 million. This objective situation of a small country with a vast land and a small population means that it will be very easy for Yan State to transform, and Yan State will not be burdened by the huge base if it wants to truly realize its own changes.
Under the current circumstances, the entire Central Plains has countless resources available. With the addition of a large number of livestock and foreign races, the Yan people have gradually carried out large-scale development of the entire Central Plains. The dividends brought by this development can significantly change everyone's life.
This kind of life is based on the absence of internal competition and a good external environment, and even the support of the Lu Ji Kingdom. As long as Duan Tianming wants to do this and the people of Yan are willing to work hard, everyone can do a lot in this already very ideal internal and external environment.
The development and changes in Yan Country are wonderful, but this beauty obviously comes at a price. Long-term development requires solving the current problem first. It is time to start preparing for the conquest of the fantasy continent.
In Yanyang City, Duan Tianming was very satisfied with the productivity output value of 5.8 million. This growth rate has already exceeded 10%. It feels so wonderful to watch the country become stronger step by step.
But in the hall, except for Duan Tianming, everyone else looked very haggard. Although Wu had received the blessing of the gods and was now in his prime, he looked as if he was exhausted. His skin was dark yellow, and there were many pimples on his face. He looked very thin.
Zhang Yun, Wang Shi and others also looked unwell, with dark circles under their eyes and dark skin.
If you take out the photos of these people from a few years ago and compare them with the current ones, you might be surprised that these people seem to have aged more than ten years in this year or so.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Duan Tianming couldn't bear to see these trusted ministers in front of him. Although he was also very tired, his body didn't have too many problems because he was nourished by the Human Emperor Seal.
"That's right."
Duan Tianming suddenly reacted and took out the Human Emperor Seal to recuperate the bodies of these people. A cloud of mist surrounded them, and the expressions of these pillars of Yan Country were obviously much better.
Seeing the obvious decrease in Yunqi, Duan Tianming did not feel too distressed. These people were the most trusted, capable and practical people in Yan Country. He would feel distressed for a long time if any of them had any problems.
"Thank you, my king!"
Feeling the changes in their bodies, although these people still found it difficult to conceal their fatigue, they all bowed to Duan Tianming in gratitude to express their gratitude.
"Well, let's start discussing!"
Duan Tianming asked Long Jue around him to take out the documents and distribute them to everyone. The issue under discussion was to digest this batch of military branch cards within this year, configure the bolt-action rifles and grenades that had just begun to be mass-produced, and enable the army of Yan State to achieve transformation and integration.
After these people finished reading the document, Luo Wu stepped forward and began to explain the military reform plan. The details had already been planned out, but it required the cooperation of various departments, so a large meeting was needed to discuss it.
This kind of large meeting has not been held for a long time. Usually these people are busy with their own affairs, and Duan Tianming does not want to waste their time because of some trivial matters. If there are any problems, he will only find targeted departments for discussion and guidance.
"Okay, let me explain the current plan to you comrades."
Luo Wu stood at a lecture platform next to Duan Tianming. The wooden board behind him still showed a picture. This was a spiritual power release designed by the goblins.
Although it is not clear overall and it is difficult to achieve drastic changes, it is still possible to have some slides appear.
Luo Wu does have a military mindset. His slides are very direct and the key points are highlighted. Basically, they are all in large, eye-catching characters. They cannot be said to be beautiful, but since we are here to get to the point, we don’t care about these things.
"Our Yan Nation's own army has undergone a certain degree of integration and selection, and has finally maintained a size of 150,000. These 150,000 are regular troops and do not include the police forces that maintain public order in various places. If the soldiers composed of the police forces are included, the total number will probably reach more than 200,000."
"This military-civilian ratio has basically remained below 10 to 1, which is considered normal under the current circumstances."
"The total army of the Luji Kingdom is 300,000 strong, and all of them are regular troops. By the end of the year, the 150,000-strong alliance troops sent to the Yan Kingdom had already completed their integrated training. This training is basically complete."
"According to the classification of the army, we have used the eight troop cards in our hands since the beginning of the year to train two gold-level firearms units: the 10,000-man Daming Shenji Battalion and the 5,000-man Red Cannon Corps. In addition to these, we also have four firearms units with a total of 30,000 people, which are silver-level."
"After this training, combined with the original 5,000 Songmu Artillery and the original 10,000 Shenji Battalion, the total number of firearms troops has reached 60,000."
"After updating our weapons, combined with our military's new military theories and the support of the Yan State Military University that is currently being established, we will form two firearms corps based on the firearms army. They will be named the Yan State First Front Army and the Yan State Second Front Army."
"Each firearms front has an artillery corps, and there are five bolt-action rifle corps that have been integrated and separated, for a total of five regiments."
"After the king's personnel appointment, I will personally serve as the commander of the First Front Army, and Li Fei will serve as the commander of the Second Front Army."
····
Luo Wu looked at the people who were listening attentively in the audience, and continued to explain.
"We still retain some of the various military organizations from the cold weapon era and haven't abolished them. The current war hasn't reached the point where they can be eliminated."
"After the last war, we've replenished all branches of the military, completed training, and distributed equipment. Currently, all branches are fully staffed. This group of troops mainly consists of 8,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 800 Xianzhen Camp, and 5,000 Danyang Army. The original 10,000 remaining Shenji Battalion has already shifted all its personnel to the Firearms Team, so it can no longer be considered an army from the cold weapon era."
"This group of troops is not large. We have used the snow horses we have bred in recent years, as well as the new batch that the king purchased, to equip Yan State with a new group of cavalry."
"This batch of cavalry mainly consists of 10,000 Black Armored Army and 12,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry, one of which is also a gold-level unit, and another is a silver-level unit. We have arranged the original Xianzhen Camp and Danyang Army as the second-line army of Yan State. As for the cavalry, we have formed the Yan State Third Front Army with Li Fei as the commander, responsible for commanding these 30,000 elite iron cavalry."
