Chapter 179: Setting Out to Pacify the Miao_3

Now, if needed, Luyang can mobilize up to 30,000 militia at any time. With an additional 2,000 county soldiers as the backbone, the 30,000 Miao people from Yangshan Prefecture are of no concern.

However, this would mean that the number of civilian workers available to assist in the transportation of food and fodder would be insufficient.

To withstand the 30,000 Miao people, at least 20,000 militia must be prepared within the prefecture. Therefore, a maximum of 10,000 people from the local area could be used as civilian workers.
