The Han Tribe had expanded at a tremendous pace over the years. Its territory and population under its jurisdiction had both grown rapidly, and the same was true of technology, the military, agriculture, and education. The problems brought about by such explosive development were equally obvious: there was a shortage of talent, and every field was lacking personnel.
Take this campaign to conquer Bamboo Island, for example. Luo Chong had actually established six new garrisons in one stroke. Those new garrisons would certainly need a large number of grassroots officers, but where would those officers come from? Naturally, they would be promoted from the old garrisons. For the officers and soldiers of the Qianniu Guard and Huben Guard, this was an excellent opportunity for advancement. Whoever had the ability would rise—things were simply that direct and that swift.
Every expansion was a great wave of collective promotions, an opportunity. It was easy to foresee that in the not-too-distant future, the Han Tribe would definitely move against the Tang Tribe. By then, whether through military conquest or a peaceful settlement, the Han Tribe would certainly establish new garrisons for the Tang Tribe. So where would the next batch of garrison officers come from? There was no need to think about it: they would definitely be promoted from among those with experience and battle merits. No one could say for certain whether this war against the Xin Tribe was Luo Chong's assessment of the troops sent on the collective expedition.
That was why Blood Butcher had given Yang Feng this reminder and hint. The Chieftain needed capable aides with minds of their own. There would be plenty of chances for promotion in the future; whether one could seize them would depend on oneself.
Of course, this was merely Blood Butcher's own deduction.
