When Lao Kou heard this, his expression became much heavier. He understood what the other party meant. It was not a good thing for three generations of his father and his son to join the army. Before, it was because the Kou family had no other choice and had to do it. But now that there is a substitute, it can no longer be done. This continues.
After all, human beings' instincts include reproduction and survival. Hereditary founding families like the Kou family in Changsha and the Wan family in Fufeng retreated from the central government not just because they were weak, but actually They are better than most aristocratic families.
But when there is only one person left in the family, and there is only one person left in this lineage, there is still no way to continue fighting with others in the court, and to find a way to spread the branches first, no matter how much politics Inheritance, no matter how many connections there are, if the people are gone, what's the point?
The same is true for the Kou family's guards. If he had a choice, Lao Kou would not kill all his supporters in one fell swoop, and Qi Xuan now seriously brought it up.
"This is what it should be. Both father and son are here, leaving one in the army, and the other two become local chiefs and county captains. When the two brothers are in the army, one of them is ordered to become a county official. "Lao Kou nodded and said, and then smiled again, "It's impossible to put them all back anyway. Only one will be left to join the army, and the others will just be this time. The Kou family can't let their own people suffer."
Lao Kou was practicing nepotism. The majority of the Kou family's bodyguards came from the thousand-man Imperial Guards that Emperor Huan gave to Princess Yiyang. After that, these Imperial Guards married wives and had children in more than forty years. They were as old as Qi Xuan. There are great-grandchildren.
Some of these people were in the Kou family when Lao Kou was born, some were almost the same age as Lao Kou, and some were equivalent to Lao Kou's nephews.
After all, only the father and son are left in the Kou family. Instead of wasting the private school, training ground and so on, it is better to use them to provide benefits. It is a waste if they are not used anyway.
This is also the reason why the Kou family's private soldiers did not retreat even though they knew the danger. You treat me as a soldier of the country, and I will repay you as a soldier of the country. Before the collapse of the Han Dynasty, this scheme is not over yet.
For Lao Kou, the guards trained in this way are considered trustworthy relatives even if they are not family members. Naturally, they have benefits, so they can be used vigorously.
"The master's behavior is a bit nepotistic." The old man holding the sword looked at the old Kou and warned him. After all, he was also a person who had been in the palace. How could he not understand these things at all.
"Okay, my Master Qi, please save it. In our current situation, I don't do nepotism. Recruit a group of reliable subordinates for me." Lao Kou rolled his eyes and said, "This is not me playing hooligan, even if it is In terms of fairness and justice, at least we have a group of suitable candidates. When no one is available, I think you are quite reliable."
"But in this case, more than 2,000 positions will be lost." Qi Xuan said with some worry.
"If you're afraid of Mao, aren't there other official positions? At least we can trust our own people." Lao Kou said nonchalantly, "If something really happens, I don't know what the people who have been recruited are thinking, but we people will never Damn, have you forgotten what happened on the previous battlefield?"
Qi Xuan saw that the head of the family had made up his mind and stopped saying anything. He was just making suggestions. Since Lao Kou had already made up his mind, it was hard for him to say anything more. Moreover, Lao Kou's approach was equivalent to giving the Kou family a favor. The guards distribute benefits.
"Don't think too much. After all, this is the place that our Kou family conquered by ourselves. Can other families who want to share the cake attack us?" Old Kou said rather domineeringly, "We want fists. If you have fists, you need a background, and tell your family what’s going on, as if we didn’t conquer this place, but that line will do.”
Qi Xuan nodded when he heard the words. Lao Kou knew what was going on. It was difficult to say anything else based on his status. After all, he was just an old guard who had been with Her Royal Highness the Princess for more than 40 years. If the situation had not changed, he would have been there before. It’s time to go back and retire.
"If you work harder, at least teach those young people the unique skill of the Sound Killing Sword. If this legion reaches your level, it will be really strong." Lao Kou grinned at Qi Xuan, and then bowed He handed over his hand and Qi Xuan nodded.
For Qi Xuan, this matter can only be said to be a matter of trying his best. Whether he can reach his level depends on luck and talent.
After all, the Yinsha Sword version of the sharp warriors has reached the level of Qi Xuan. He has assembled five thousand people, wears regular Han Dynasty plate armor, and encountered three unsuspecting talents. For the first time, he will definitely be able to fight head-on, and both sides will be injured. Yinsha sword The sword has reached the level of Qi Xuan, with its cutting ability of high-frequency oscillation, and its stun and partial damage ability of sonic oscillation. The opponent he encounters for the first time is unprepared and will be absolutely embarrassed.
This is a legion that has the ability to attack in a real sense and can control and damage opponents. Apart from having no defensive talent and moving at the same speed as normal infantry, it does not have many shortcomings at all.
As for the fact that the weapon cannot withstand long-term high-frequency vibrations because there is no magic hidden in the sword, this can be corrected by the strength of the weapon. As long as the legion is strong enough, the country will accept orders for customized weapons. And based on Qi Xuan's performance at the time, The entire legion has this quality, customized by Chen Xile.
If the strength of the material cannot be determined, isn't it just mechanical shock? Come on, get the antimony alloy.
"Then our core elite will be left to you." Lao Kou said with a smile.
"I will do my best." Qi Xuan nodded.
The quality of Kou's guards is unlikely to improve in the short term. In this case, it is only necessary to dig deep into talents.
After sending his old commander away, Lao Kou let out a sigh of relief. If they continue to mess around like this, the Chola Dynasty can still operate, but it is still far from reaching the level they want. Next, they need to find professionals. , develop strategic plans.
In Chang'an, the news of Kou's victory over the Chola Dynasty has not yet spread, but the entire Chang'an has been decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome the return of the victorious army.
It sounds like I have been doing these minute things over the past few years, but I have become better at it.
"Liu Jiyu, you can't afford it!" Yuan Shu, who was riding Gungun and running along Zhuque Street, cursed angrily at Liu Zhang, who was also riding Gungun beside him.
"You can't afford it. I'm your father. If you have the guts to entrust me there, why can't I?" Liu Zhang scolded Yuan Shu unceremoniously. The two of them were now each other's biological fathers.
"That's my son's filial piety, what does that mean to you?" Yuan Shu scolded Liu Zhang with a dark face. Sun Ce, who had been fighting very hard in the past two years, finally gained a foothold in the south. Although selling coconuts is not a good business, but Make money. If you have money, you can start construction.
Sun Ce was a very strange person. He didn't know why he planned a place in the south for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was also very strange. Although he didn't go, of course he had to accept the gift from his son, so he went to Liu Ye. I reported it there and said it was okay to count it as my own.
Liu Ye had always kept a respectful distance from Yuan Shu. After thinking about the things Yuan Shu brought, he thought that doing more was better than doing less, so he registered it as an internal historian. From then on, this place was It nominally belongs to Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Shu may not be able to go there a few times in his life, in theory that place belongs to Yuan Shu. Then Liu Zhang received the news from somewhere, so he made a deal with Sun Ce in private. Sun Ce had the impression that Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu were related. very good.
Although Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang insulted each other and were each other's biological fathers, in general the two of them hung out together, dominating various places and causing harm along the way, so Sun Ce nodded.
For the big guys, this kind of thing was just a matter of a letter, so Liu Zhang quickly settled it, and then went to Liu Ye to help him with the process before Yuan Shu found out.
When Liu Ye saw the materials Liu Zhang had obtained, although he felt a little pained, he still helped Liu Zhang register. By the time Yuan Shu discovered that something was wrong, the fiefdom Liu Zhang created had already enclosed Yuan Shu's previous fiefdom of hundreds of miles.
Then the two sides started fighting outside the Weiyang Palace while riding Gungun. Liu Tong lay on the fence and watched the whole scene without calling a palace guard to separate the two.
Especially later, Liu Tong even had chairs, dried fruits, and pastries brought in, and he even took the lead in applauding and shouting. If Zhang Chunhua hadn't remembered Yuan Shu's help, Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu would not have had to step down that day, and they would have been embarrassed at their grandma's house.
"Everywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, are all Han lands. Where I, Liu Zhang, want to be enfeoffed is not a matter of words. If you fight with me, who will be the boss?" Liu Zhang looked proud.
"If you have the guts to follow me to Eastern Europe, the headquarters of my Yuan family, I will blow your head off." Yuan Shu was really angry this time. Liu Zhang was really very good at speaking sometimes.
"Just go, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." Liu Zhang scolded angrily, "Anyway, I have decided where you, you piece of shit, will be entrusted. I will set up a circle outside you and collect tolls from you. I will collect it when you enter, and you will collect it when you come out. It will make you anxious." Okay, let’s build another Great Wall outside you to surround you.”
"Liu Jiyu, you bitch, just wait." Yuan Shu's face was livid, and he decided to ask Sun Ce for another place to surround Liu Zhang. Can you surround me?
"Come on, come on, I'm waiting." Liu Zhang rode Gungun with a sullen expression. He is a professional in building roads and bridges. Why do you call it a highway? I can surround you.
"Just wait, my men are back. I won't blow you up this time." Yuan Shu cursed angrily.
"It's as if my number one general has not returned." Liu Zhang looked proud. Zhang Ren's performance in the south, no matter how shameful Zhang Ren felt, at least looked very good to Liu Zhang, which greatly boosted morale. There is no better way to slap Yuan Shu in the face.
Yuan Shu was too lazy to curse anymore. He had watched Zhang Ren's image many times. It was so in line with the aesthetics of this group of older middle school students.
