章 1142: Chapter 460 Zone Adjustment_3

With these people included, Lu Yuan had as many as one hundred and sixteen Inborn Grandmasters directly under his command.

Beyond that, in the twenty-three prefectures of Chu State's Central Province, each one now had an Inborn Grandmaster serving as the commandant, with ten thousand county soldiers, prefecture troops, and county troops at all three levels—prefectures, counties, and townships—already in place.

These local forces, added together, amounted to twenty-three Inborn Grandmasters and six hundred and ninety thousand regular local troops.

However, the Central Province had just been settled, and everywhere there were the remnants of the enemy nations that Chu had vanquished, and with the continuous relocation of native Chu population, conflicts between immigrants and locals were erupting often.

Therefore, these local troops could essentially only be used to maintain local order. Unless necessary, Lu Yuan would not call them up to participate in foreign wars.
