The reason for lack of youth and strong is naturally because of the conflicts with the Luo family and the Otomo family that have appeared continuously in recent years, and then they fell into internal strife. Then the Battle of Itsukashima and the Luo family's Western strategy began... In such frequent wars and chaos, a large number of youth and strong people were recruited, and then died in battle or became prisoners of the enemy, which caused the destruction of many families.

This time, the invasion of the Luo family and the re-interruption of the Daou family forced many local farmers to hide in the mountains and ridges with their families, leaving only the elderly in their families. As for An Yiguo's situation, it was even more special. Among the local population, many young and strong people in his family were still soldiers in the Maori family's military power.

Finally, more than 10,000 people became slaves of the Luo family because of fighting against the Luo family in the previous Luo family's strategy. They even implicated their families and their clan members (more than 20,000 people) and became slaves of the Luo family. At this time, these slaves were sent to various slave farms in the Jiuzhou area of ​​the Luo family by the Luo family's naval army.

Due to the above reasons, the population of these territories in the Western countries not only seems a bit sparse, but also has few young and strong children.

Compared with the areas such as the Nagamon Kingdom, Zhou Fangguo, and Anyi Kingdom, the population of other areas of the Luo family seemed much more reasonable. Among them, the Feiqian Kingdom, which was the place where the Luo family started, had a population of 350,000 at this time, of which 210,000 were young and strong, and 100,000 were young and strong. The Zhuhou Kingdom, which was included in the Luo family's territory earlier, had a population of 230,000, of which 140,000 were young and strong, and 60,000 were young and strong. It was also the Feiqian Kingdom which was included in the Luo family's territory earlier. The population was 310,000, of which 180,000 were young and strong, and 90,000 were young and strong.

From the above population situation, we can see that compared with the population situation in 1549, there were more young and strong people in the Three Kingdoms population at this time. This was mainly caused by factors such as stable local social environment and good farming system. Moreover, this area was also the most deeply affected by the new eating habits advocated by the Luo family. Compared with the previous better eating habits (such as eating more fish), the local people's physical fitness was getting better and better, especially the widespread night blindness during the Warring States Period, which was greatly improved. This led to Zhengliang's preference for military sources from these areas when supplementing the regular preparations of the Luo family.

In terms of the areas where the Luo family had joined the territory of the Luo family later, the population of the Zhuqian country was 180,000. Among them, the young and strong was 120,000 and the children were 40,000. The population of the Fengqian country was 130,000, the young and strong was 70,000 and the children were 40,000. The population of the Fengqian country was 250,000, the young and strong was 150,000 and the children were 70,000. The population of the Iki Island was more than 15,000, the young and strong were more than 8,000 and the children were more than 4,000. The Luo family secretly occupied the area in the northwest of Hinata, with a population of more than 5,000, including more than 4,000. The children were less than 1,000. After several years of development, the children of these areas had grown into young and strong at this time. More children were born. Compared with the previous, the population of young and strong had increased, but it was not as obvious as that of the Feiqian country and other places.

According to the report on population submitted by the Interior Affairs Office at this time, the Luo family's territory had a population of more than 1.7 million, including about 960,000 young and strong, more than 400,000 children, and more than 600,000 among the young and strong. With further statistics on the newly occupied population in the Western Country and the continuous influx of refugees, the Luo family's population will increase.

Before such a huge population base, Zhengliang immediately made the decision to expand his army. After all, with the expansion of the territory, the current reserves of more than 10,000 people of the Luo family (that is, full-time soldiers) and the reserves of 20,000 people (actually semi-cultivating and semi-professional peasant soldiers), it is obviously impossible to meet the Luo family's territorial defense and expansion needs.

At this time, if the Luo family's population is more than 1.7 million, if the Luo family's military force is selected according to the Luo family's military force, the Luo family can draw more than 60,000 young and strong men from the young and strong men to form a new Luo family's military force. If the other forces in the Warring States Period are drawn according to the ratio of 10,000, regardless of age, the Luo family can even organize an army force of more than 100,000.

However, such a large-scale standing army or semi-standing standing army is obviously inappropriate. Zhengliang decided to expand the Luo family and semi-standing standing army according to actual needs.

In terms of standing, it currently mainly includes seven regular teams with a total of 4,200 people, four regular teams with a total of 3,600 people, two regular teams with a total of 500 people, four iron cannon teams with a total of 400 people, four hundred warriors with a regular turnaround, one hundred cloaks, two hundred fifty people, one hundred sermon troops, one hundred sergeant troops, and one hundred fifty people Black Hawk Ninja Army.

As the seven regular teams of the Luo family's main combat power, Zhengliang did not intend to increase the number of regular teams, but he wanted to adjust the troops and quotas of each team. Originally, there were only two types of troops in a team, namely the Spearman and the archer, and their respective quotas were 350 and 250. In this way, the permanent team of a full quota was 500.

This time, among the two armies in each rank, the sapling soldiers increased by 150 places, while the archers increased by 100 places. After these ranks were increased, the sapling soldiers in each rank were 500 places, and the archers were 350 places.

In addition, Zhengliang also added fifty places to each rank. The reason why Zhengliang added iron artillery to each rank is that as the scale of the iron artillery workshop continued to increase, the iron artillery reserves of the Luo Family's family could meet the needs of equip these seven ranks, and there were sufficient troops in the reserve standing station to meet this supplementary needs. At the same time, Luo Family's workshop could also provide timely logistics support such as maintenance. Second, Zhengliang found from this Western strategy that the Luo Family would encounter more and more mountainous terrain in the future, and the iron artillery weapon is suitable for this terrain. Based on these two reasons, Zhengliang decided to add iron artillery to the seven ranks of standing stations this time.
