"Young master, I want to expand the hunting dog team. There are only more than 300 hunting dogs now. There are not enough warnings outside the camp. There are still 100 more people left in Zhoujiazhuang, which is too small." Li Zhenhe did not ask for gold, silver and jewelry, but just wanted to do more things for Zhou Shixiong, so there was no problem with this requirement. Zhou Shixiong asked Zhou Hou to return to Xiangzhou to buy a batch of hunting dogs, the more the number, the better.

In order to solve the problem of too few people in the Jinyiwei, Zhou Shixiong issued the "Promotion Order". The content is very simple, and all the people under his command are classified as third level, the lowest level of prisoners of war belongs to slaves, the second level of servants bought belongs to civilians, the second level of Jinyiwei, and the first level of craftsmanship belongs to farmers. The specific standard for classification is that slaves have no rights, and life and death are determined by the head of the family. There are no other restrictions on civilians except for having no personal freedom. The merchants not only enjoy personal freedom, but also have the opportunity to enter the management and become imperial envoys. [bsp;  

The purpose of grading is to give people hope to break away from their current identity and become a higher class. The simplest slaves can advance. They can advance as long as they work for the Zhou family for ten years or make contributions in other aspects. It is a little troublesome for civilians to advance. The easiest thing is to join the Jinyiwei, followed by the Jianzuo Camp. To join the Jinyiwei, in addition to checking physical conditions, it also depends on age. Those who are older than thirty are not qualified. The conditions for entering the Jianzuo Camp are even more harsh. You can still learn slowly when you are young, and you can learn slowly when you are young. Older people don’t have any skills.

It is even more difficult for a farmer to enter the management team. Because there are only a few positions, you must excel if you want to get promoted. Whether it is the Jinyiwei or the craftsman camp, there have been people who have held positions in it for a long time, and there is almost no possibility of promotion at this stage.

Zhou Shixiong and Guan Chongguang studied for two days and took out such a piece of work mainly targeting slaves. In addition to supplementing the gap in the Jinyiwei, they can also improve the slaves' sense of belonging and actively obey the various orders of the Zhou family.

Zhou Shixiong was busy with all matters after the war, but Nong Xiaogao was dazed for the news of his defeat. "Tell me about the detailed process, why did the entire army be wiped out?" The patriarch was dazed, and the second elder Nong had a direction to report the message, Ruan Jumi said.

Ruan Jumi once again described the entire battle, and also recited the request that Zhou Shixiong asked him to bring back, and then looked at the big guys in the room with fear that they would vent their anger on their little soldier.

"It's outrageous!" With a loud voice, Nong Xiaogao's face turned red and his palm slapped on the table, shaking the teapot on the table. "You coward, you dare to talk nonsense in order to save your life. Let's pull him down and lock him up." Several clan elders were about to persuade the clan leader to calm down, but when they heard that they just locked up, they immediately understood. The clan leader just didn't want the news to be leaked, and there was no intention of killing people and quenching fire.

"Uncle Fang, is the Great Elder's illness better?" Since Nong Xiaozhi led his people to the war, the Great Elder Nong Dezhong has started to have a fever, and it has not improved yet. However, Nong Xiaogao is concerned about the Great Elder's condition at this time, and obviously doesn't want to discuss Nong Xiaozhi's defeat. Several clan elders' faces immediately turned dark, and Nong Youfang said in a bad way, "The Great Elder only has the auspicious human and heavenly appearance, and there is no need for the clan leader to worry about it. The clan leader should think more about how to deal with this mess!" After saying that, Nong Youfang stood up and walked out of the hall, clearly not participating in this matter.

Most of the elders of several clans were highly effective. Moreover, many of the thousands of Guangyuan troops brought by Nong Xiaozhi this time were their nephews. Whether they could be rescued depends on the clan leader. Naturally, they did not dare to leave as casually as the second elder, so they could only sit in the hall and wait for news.

Although the Daiyi tribe is known as a clan, it is actually similar to the Liao people in Guangxi. It is generally divided into forces according to the settlement, and each clan also includes various villages. It is true that the leader of the Daiyi tribe of Langsan is Nongxiao, but Nongxiao directly has only six villages. The eldest elder and the second elder are Nongxiao's relative uncles, and they each have two villages. If the two join forces, the power will be less than Nongxiao's.

There are eighteen villages in the Taiyi tribe of Lang San. Except for ten belonging to Nong Xiaogao and the two elders, the remaining eight are the elders of these clans. The Eighteen villages have a population of about 80,000, and they are also considered large clans in Lang San. Of course, there is still a big gap compared with the Jing tribe, the largest clan of the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam.

"Several clan elders, do you think how to solve this problem?" To a large extent, Nong Youfang left was because Nong Feiqiu was forced. If Nong Youfang remained here, Nong Feiqiu's voice would be weakened.

Several clan elders looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to be the first. Once the idea is not right, there will definitely be no good results.

After waiting for a while, Nong Xiaogao confirmed that no one wanted to speak, so he slowly expressed his plans. "The ancestor Nong Zhigao once said that no matter the strength of the enemy, he could stand up bravely. I know that you are worried about your children, but how can our tribe survive if you can be slaughtered by others. Besides, there are only a few hundred guards in that camp, and Xiaozhi was caught by them after underestimating the enemy and advancing. This time I took all the Guangyuan army to surround the camp, forcing them to return the children, and asked those men to compensate the lives of our warriors in order to get out of this anger."

Nong Feigao has decided to ignore Zhou Shixiong's threat, and those clan elders have no right to oppose it. With the command of the clan leader, the entire Guangyuan army began to prepare for war, and those clan elders also hoped that Nong Feigao's strategy would take effect. In that case, not only would there be no need to spend money to redeem people, but it would also get a lot of benefits. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food, and the Lang San Daiyi tribe was dazed by blood. The prospects for the Lang San Daiyi tribe are slim.

The changes across the river naturally could not be concealed by Zhou Shixiong, who was strictly guarding, crossed the river in batches to monitor the movements of the Daiyi tribe, and soon sent the news that the Daiyi tribe was assembled to the camp.

"Cheng Peng, what do you think?" Zhou Shixiong confirmed that only Guan Chongguang was qualified as a military advisor, and did not call on other subordinates to ask Guan Chongguang for advice alone.

"Sir, the Guangyuan army that the Daiyi tribe can dispatch is at most 5,000, and it takes a large number of ships to cross the river. Last time we seized all the ferries across the river, and they would not get enough river boats in a short time. If Nong is efficient and dares to let the Guangyuan army cross the river in batches, we just need to intercept the riverside by the river, and Guan Bao will not be able to take it." Guan Chongguang's words made Zhou Shixiong feel a little relieved. However, things cannot be done well. Zhou Shixiong looked at the information in his hand and asked questions.

"Cheng Peng, if Nong is efficient and crosses the river in batches without crossing the river, and the five thousand troops will be pushed up at once, we may not be able to eat it."

"What the adults said makes sense, but it is difficult to find a fleet of 5,000 people at a time. If Nong Feigao wants to do this, it will take at least one month to get the ferry, and you can do a lot of things in a month." Guan Chongguang was still full of confidence. Zhou Shixiong hurriedly asked what tricks he had. "There is no trick, but there is a stupid trick. I think the adults' way to deal with Hu Fulong last time was very good. Create enough crossbows and bows, and don't fight with the thief army in close combat, and use crossbow guns and crossbows to deal with them."

Zhou Shixiong thought that this method was good. His subordinates could only guarantee loyalty to the three hundred Jinyiwei. It was really unreliable to promote the newly promoted auxiliary soldiers. If they use the range advantages of the bed crossbow and crossbow to attack the enemy at a long distance, they would not be afraid of the auxiliary soldiers rebelling, and they could also effectively kill and injure the enemy, which would kill two birds with one stone.

After deciding the basic strategy, Zhou Shixiong convened all his subordinates for a meeting. "Gong Dajiang, Tiezhi obeyed the order." There was nothing to study, so Zhou Shixiong and others came and ordered immediately. "I am here." Gong Liu and Tieyong hurriedly stood up and waited for Zhou Shixiong's order.

"The mission of you two is very important. Whether you can resist the barbarians this time depends on whether you can meet my requirements. You two are limited to leading the craftsman to build a camp to create fifty crossbows and two hundred crossbows within a month, and also equipped fifty elephant-use small crossbows. Can you do it?" Zhou Shixiong listened to Guan Chongguang's analysis and set two response plans for this battle. One is to take the initiative to attack and block the ferry by the river to prevent the Guangyuan army from landing smoothly. The other is to defend the camp and defend the enemy, and use offensive and defensive war to eliminate the Guangyuan army.

Both strategies require the support of the craftsman. Without enough crossbows, crossbow bows, crossbow guns, and crossbow arrows, Zhou Shixiong's tactical concept could not be realized.

"Sir, the craftsman's staff alone may not be able to fulfill the sir's requirements." Gong Liu and Tie Yong discussed for a while and reported to Zhou Shixiong.

"It's hard to find craftsmen, and time is tight, so it's too late to find them now." Zhou Shixiong did not expect that the craftsman, which had always been a bit exaggerated, was not enough. But he believed that the two master craftsmen would not lie to him, and what they said must make sense.

"Sir, you don't have to look for craftsmen. Just pick up five hundred slaves with skillful hands and feet. You mainly let them do some rough work." Gong Liuban put his fingers on several processes such as wood handling, peeling, rough processing, etc., and explained in detail. Zhou Shixiong immediately approved it and asked them to ask Zhou Hou to ask for someone.

The two craftsmen and Zhou Hou left the camp. Zhou Shixiong looked at the people sitting below, "Master Li, please take my warrant and go back to Zhoujiazhuang, concentrate all the big animals, and ask Zhou Si and Zhou Wu to bring the Jinyiwei to me, and send the two wives and these girls back. After you go back, you don't have to come here. Just help Uncle Liu take care of the family in Zhoujiazhuang."

"Young Master!" "Honey Master?" As soon as Zhou Shixiong finished speaking, You Min and several other women couldn't help but exclaim.

"This battle is not easy. You will distract me here. Don't say anything you can help, go back." Zhou Shixiong spoke to several women with a cold face for the first time. Even Zhu Ying, who was the most reckless, dared not object, and sat down obediently without saying a word.

Looking at Li Fusheng, Zhou Shixiong said solemnly, "Fusheng, they will ask you." Li Fusheng originally wanted to refuse this order, but seeing that Zhou Shixiong entrusted his family to him, he knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so he stood up and bowed to answer the order.
