Military Reforms, Three Children!

Mountain Corridor

Qin Xiao looked somewhat haggard, and his face showed worry as he thought about his recent troubles...

"Give me one."

Upon hearing this—

Qin Hui revealed her arm covered in tree bark, took out a box of Tea Smoke, handed one to her, and lit it for her while shielding her from the wind, saying:

"This is from this year's Tea King plantation, have a taste..."

Qin Xiao took a deep breath, exhaled a wisp of white smoke, and immediately felt the aroma of tea filling the air, relieving some of his fatigue...

"Not bad, that's powerful..."

"From now on, prepare one packet of tea tobacco for your brother every year, and establish a clan rule that every clan elder will receive one packet of Tea Smoke produced by the Tea King each year..."

Qin Xiao said half-jokingly--

But while the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Qin Hui's lips curled slightly, and she nodded in agreement...

I lit one for myself, and after a few puffs of smoke, I felt incredibly happy!

at this time--

Neither of them spoke, silently enjoying the peace of the moment, their minds calming down. The older one gets, the more one reminisces about childhood...

Unfortunately, we can never go back.

The father was focused on spiritual practice, and the sons didn't want to disturb him. The remaining four younger brothers, though getting older...

They gradually took on some clan affairs, but it was ultimately a drop in the ocean due to a shortage of manpower.

The pressure on the two of them is unimaginable; it is undoubtedly the greatest in the family!

I don't know how much time passed--

The Tea Smoke has burned out, like a dream shattering and a return to reality...

"Second brother, with your petrified body, can you still perform sexual acts?"

"The clan is dwindling in numbers, and you know your sister-in-law's background. As her brother, it's not appropriate for me to take a concubine and have children. Only you, with multiple wives and concubines, can have many children..."

Upon hearing this—

Qin Hui smiled helplessly, touched the small wooden horn on her head, and didn't know what to say...

I'll do my best...

"The root of humanity hasn't turned to wood, so it shouldn't be affected..."

The two brothers exchanged a few jokes.

We chatted about men, topics that everyone understands, before getting back to the main topic...

"The Lineage's territory expanded, and the two counties were gradually pacified."

"After careful consideration, I have finalized a new military system. Listen to my assessment and see if there are any omissions..."

At this point, Qin Xiao paused, sorting out his thoughts, and said:

"At the moment..."

"As the elder brother, I established warlord factions by leveraging various affiliated forces and Lineage within the army, and controlled the servant clans through our own family..."

"The servant clans established themselves as independent groups, gathering subordinates and forming various factions."

"Firstly, to facilitate governance, the various families were divided; secondly, to ensure mutual checks and balances between factions; and thirdly, to maintain clan unity, sharing both honor and disgrace..."

"This will ensure that these individuals, from the bottom up, dare not slacken their efforts and will tie their own interests to those of the military."

"Then, using the main family as the core, we can maintain a balance in managing our subordinates."

"Finally, gather together scattered talents and outstanding individuals; in the future, we can either recruit them or have them marry into our families."

"Currently, Yingchuan County is dominated by the Wang Family faction, which is expanding its military to protect its clan. The County Legion has been disbanded and reorganized into the Yingchuan Army Corps!"

"A total of 30,000 soldiers were selected and organized into three armies: the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army of Yingchuan, with the three generals of the Wang Family serving as commanders, and Wang Jian concurrently serving as the Grand General."

"His primary duty was to protect Yingchuan and to construct a new fortified pass at the confluence of the Ying River and the river with Sichuan..."

"Make Yingchuan a completely impregnable fortress!"

"That's one thing; the second is the establishment of military units in Cloud Dream County."

"The Meng Family Meng Family as its main body, established a unit called the Cloud Dream Army Corps, also with 30,000 soldiers, designated as the First, Second, and Third Armies."

"The Meng Family is known for its martial prowess and is a family with the Aristocratic Clan in the military..."

"His patriarch, Meng Wu, has served in the army for many years. He is utterly loyal, possesses exceptional courage and intelligence, and is capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities."

Therefore, Meng Wu was appointed as a general to guard Cloud Dream County and also as the County Defender, assisting his fourth brother in governing the region, thus ensuring the safety of Yunmeng.

"A strategic pass and important town were established along the northern border of Yunmeng to form a defensive line."

Finally, there are the mixed factions.

"The team is composed of elites selected from various regions through recommendations, screening from the general public, or based on military merit..."

"The mixed faction will be placed under the Black Dragon Legion and directly commanded by our clan!"

"The army now numbers 10,000, with Squad Leader and deputy Squad Leader appointed from among the Low True Martial Realm Warrior, Century Commander and deputy Century Commander appointed from among the Middle True Martial Realm..."

"Among them, the Wang Family nominated Li Xin as Century Commander..."

The Meng Family recommended a commoner Warrior named Zhang Han to serve as Century Commander.

"Both of these individuals rose from humble beginnings and achieved remarkable military exploits. They are typical representatives of the mixed faction and are also individuals our clan needs to win over in the future."

"Finally, the positions of Millennium Commander and deputy centurion will be filled by Warrior at the High True Martial Realm. The candidates are currently undecided and are still under consideration..."

"The commander of the army will be the third brother Qin Wu, who will serve as the general, thus giving our clan direct control over the mixed faction."

"The last elite of our clan: Qin Elite Soldiers"

"The force has now expanded to three hundred people, and the sons of powerful clans have been gradually weeded out or transferred to local troops. It is now mostly composed of sons of lesser clans and civilian Warrior..."

"No one can command this army; from now on, only the patriarchs and ancestors of our clan will have the authority to command it."

"This can be considered the upper echelon of the Black Dragon Legion. Local legions supply the Black Dragon Legion with resources, and the Black Dragon Legion then selects talent to join: Qin Elite Soldiers!"

"This led to the formation of our clan's current military system."

"As the Lineage grows stronger in the future, this method can be continued indefinitely; all that's needed is to continuously increase the local army..."

After listening--

Qin Hui was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected her elder brother's political skills to have reached such a level. He was practically born with the makings of an emperor!

They've thoroughly mastered the art of checks and balances, alliances, strategic maneuvering, and undermining each other's strength!

Is this still the same older brother he used to be, who only knew how to use force to intimidate others?!

Absolutely terrifying!

"Brother's plans are so comprehensive that I haven't yet seen any oversights..."

"Father used to say I was exceptionally intelligent, but now it seems you, elder brother, are the real talent, your brilliance is truly shining!"

That concludes the discussion.

Thus, the Qin Clan's new round of military reforms was finalized...

now--

The gears of history are quietly turning!

Perhaps even Qin Xiao never imagined that his military reform strategy would forge an invincible Great Qin Iron Cavalry!

Furthermore, it created one war legend after another!

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed!

Over the past year, Qin Hui has become increasingly low-key, and her demeanor has become more and more enigmatic...

He rarely leaves his home, spending his days either monitoring the Five Grains Peak, cultivating Spirit Plant at the Spirit Medicine Peak, or constantly keeping an eye on the situation at the Spirit Fruit Peak...

After finishing all that, I still need to regularly tend to the spirit Tea Garden, and I also need to refine pills regularly and in fixed quantities every month...

As night deepened--

He couldn't sleep for nights on end; after all, it was a task assigned by his elder brother, and he could only sacrifice himself to satisfy his wives and concubines...

The result was as expected.

After a year of hard work, we've finally reaped the rewards...

The three wives and concubines, Zhao Clan, Lady Han, Meng Clan, all became pregnant one after another. It turns out that pregnancy is indeed contagious; if one person is pregnant, the others are implicated!

Within this month--

Qin Hui became a father for the first time, and a father of three children at that!
