Chapter 616: Chapter 566: To What Extent Has He Cultivated?
“You must be aware that almost half of these millions of troops were gathered from the various provinces’ paths and guard homes. It is manageable to gather them for a short time, but if they stay here for an extended period, what would happen to the safety of the paths and provinces throughout the world?” Gu Ji looked at Wang Bo’an with a furrowed brow.
This is no small matter. The troops from the world’s guard homes are the key to maintaining stability in each province within the borders of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. If these guard troops were absent for a long time, the provinces and paths would likely become unstable.
Furthermore, these millions of troops, even if we were to re-recruit and train them, would take time. Not to mention the resources that would be consumed, time in itself would be scarce.
Wang Bo’an seemed to have thought of this before, and he didn’t mind Gu Ji’s worries at all. He laughed and said, “Mr. Gu, you’re overthinking. There’s no need to keep all these millions of soldiers here. When the time comes, we would only need to keep a third of the soldiers.”
“Is a third of the soldiers enough to hold on?” Gu Ji asked uncertainly.
The number of soldiers Wang Bo’an was talking about was far less than he thought. He wasn’t heartless. Gu Ji didn’t want to see an adverse outcome because there were too few soldiers on guard.
Wang Bo’an confidently said, “It is entirely sufficient. If it weren’t for this time’s training, I wouldn’t have brought so many soldiers.”
Indeed, the number of soldiers Wang Bo’an brought this time was already excessive. He brought all these soldiers to conduct training, letting more soldiers participate in these wars to create even stronger warriors.
According to his plan, once the situation completely calms down, all he needs to do is leave a third of the soldiers to maintain the current situation.
