The situation reported by Tian Yuan was both expected and unexpected by Xiao Yiran. The historical knowledge before the rebirth told Xiao Yiran that in this era, there were already relatively developed ethnic groups in the Yellow River Valley. Therefore, for Tian Yuan, they found that there was a large group of nearly 30,000 people, which did not surprise Xiao Yiran too much. The reason why it is said to be unexpected is that in Xiao Yiran's memory before his rebirth, there are no archaeological discoveries about the swords of the Paleolithic people.

Xiao Yiran naturally knows that archaeological discoveries do not represent everything, and there will definitely be some omissions. So this newly discovered super-large race, this group that has mastered the smelting of copper ore and the creation of swords, is obviously a civilization that has been left behind by history.

There were more than 5,000 soldiers on the other side, and nearly 2,000 were cavalry. On the other hand, the Dragon Clan, with less than 2,000 soldiers, and the cavalry currently only have more than 100, less than 15. If the opponent suddenly attacks the dragon clan, although the dragon clan has the advantage in weapons, but in the face of more than twice the strength of their own troops, the cavalry is even more than ten times that of their own cavalry, and they can only defend passively.

For a long time, except for the time when he had just escaped from the snake clan, the time when he and Xiao An depended on each other was relatively difficult, relatively speaking, Xiao Yiran had a smooth life. The only twist and turn, or rather, what made Xiao Yiran a little frightened was the outbreak of influenza at the Mengyue River station. As for the earthquake and total lunar eclipse some time ago, neither is a problem.

Xiao Yiran had to put his mind on the new ethnic group that he suddenly discovered. It is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to attack them in a short period of time. The only thing that can be done is to hurry up and make the dragon clan stronger. During this period, you must also be prepared to be attacked by the other party.

After thinking about it for a few days, Xiao Yiran decisively convened a meeting of elders, at which the information obtained by Tian Yuan was announced, and she wanted the whole clan to have a sense of crisis. Only in this way can the entire dragon clan work together and hug together in the following days.

After announcing Tian Yuan's information, the first thing Xiao Yiran did was to adjust the military department.

"Cao Ying, go to the Mengyue River station to replace Hui Xianglin.

Lin Zhan was responsible for the training and command of the infantry.

Xuan Liang was responsible for the training and command of the cavalry.

After Xiang Lin returned, he was fully responsible for the work of the military department.

Li Yu immediately set up a staff department to give advice as the emperor's command of the military department, and assisted the military department to complete the orders issued by the emperor.

Xuan Yi handed over the work of the Ministry of Finance downward, got out, and assisted the emperor in doing the work of the entire dragon clan.

Xuanyun's Ministry of Health quickly trained a group of health workers who could go with the army, and these health workers must be able to rescue wounded soldiers on the spot.

Lin Zhan and Xuan Liang immediately hung up the recruitment signboard in the military headquarters and absorbed another 1,000 to 1,500 soldiers. The infantry was to be expanded to 3,000 men, and the cavalry to 500 to 1,000 men. ”

Xiao Yiran did not give Xuan Liang an accurate number, because of the restriction of the number of war horses, the current horse farm is all large and small, a total of only more than three hundred, and the real use of war horses is only more than half, less than two hundred. The huge gap in war horses is a piece of heart disease in Xiao Yiran's heart.

"Tian Yuan's intelligence department has doubled its staff. In addition to the original Wei Fei, Wei Long, Wei Zai, and Wei Tian, the deputy minister will add Wei Fu, Wei Lu, Wei Ri, and Wei Yue to you.

Be sure to send a team of men to monitor the movements of the newly discovered people at all times. At the same time, the other party must not be allowed to find out. ”

"Xiongshan, all the members of your hunting department, go out on the older side, and the rest are used as reserve soldiers. Later, when he went out hunting, he only brought half of his men, and the other half stayed behind to practice with the troops. And so on and so forth. ”

"Liang Mu's manufacturing department, put all the experience into building weapons, and after the soldiers of the military department are recruited, your weapons must also be distributed to each soldier in time."

"The Ministry of Textiles, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Breeding, are fully engaged in production and prepare sufficient military supplies for the future war."

"Wei Nan, your Ministry of Education should also lead boys over the age of ten to participate in military training on a regular basis. As for the specific time arrangement, you first come up with a charter, and after discussing it with Li Yu, you will implement it. ”

Xiao Yiran did not mean to be alarmist when he treated the newly discovered super-large group as the object of future war at the elder's meeting. She is very familiar with history, it is difficult for ethnic groups in this era to coexist peacefully, and every ethnic group that continues to grow up in the battle with other ethnic groups. It is only through the harsh test of war that mankind has been able to continue to develop.

None of the civilizations that have been discovered in history have been smooth sailing, and there are even many races that seemed to be very developed and powerful at the time, but they were eventually wiped out by other races.

Therefore, it is very necessary to prevent problems before they occur. It is also very necessary to keep the whole clan on the alert.

Xiao Yiran asked Li Yu to set up a staff department, similar to the Qing Dynasty's military machine hall, the main personnel are Xuan Yi, Li Yu, Xuan Liang, in addition, Xiao Yiran asked Li Yu to investigate some people with military talents among all the clansmen and select them. In the form of successors, they are cultivated.

Half a month after the meeting of the elders, Cao Ying replaced Xiang Lin back, and Xiang Lin was in charge of the military department again, and he became energetic again.

Xiao Yiran found Xiang Lin alone:

"During this time in Mengyue River, how are you doing?"

"It's good, it's just too bland."

"Now that you're back, you must have learned about discovering a new race. Any thoughts? ”

"A qiē obeys the emperor's orders. Xiang Lin will work hard to train soldiers. ”

"It's just that you can't work hard, you also need to pay attention to ways and means. You go down and think about it and give me a detailed training plan. ”

"Yes, Emperor."

"Wait, how did you handle your relationship with Xiao An?"

"I've promised Shaw Ann and become one of her five men."

"Oh? However, now that you are separated from each other, I am afraid that in a short period of time, Xiao An will not be able to speak for you. ”

"The child can have it later, we are not too old."

"Okay, I'm relieved if you think so."

Xiao Yiran has always been very concerned about the relationship between Xiao An and Xiang Lin, if Xiang Lin did not handle the relationship with Xiao An well, Xiao Yiran also thought about whether to continue to use Xiang Lin. Hearing Xiang Lin say that he was already married to Xiao An, Xiao Yiran was really relieved.

People's feelings are influenced by their daily work. As the threat of the newly discovered large group spread, the entire dragon clan entered a state of tension, and with it, Xiao Yiran's actions were also neat. This made Xiao Yiran change the original rhythm when he made out with the guards at night.

In the past, Xiao Yiran passively endured the tart and aggression of the guards, but now, Xiao Yiran gradually took the initiative. When Wei Zai and Wei Fei came back from going out to investigate intelligence, it was the turn of the two of them to sleep with Xiao Yiran, and one night, they were asked for twice by Xiao Yiran, who took the initiative, and they were defeated, which made the two of them a little uncomfortable. After dawn, seeing that the emperor opened his eyes slightly, Wei Fei first fell down, regained his strength and violently felled. Wei Zai also stretched Wei Jian into the emperor's cherry mouth and pumped quickly.

Xiao Yiran didn't find the discomfort of the two, but after the lingering in the first half of the night, the resolute aura on his body in the morning had long since disappeared, and he once again regained his previous gentleness. Finally, under the attack of the two of them, they lost their armor and fell asleep again. This allowed Wei Fei and Wei Zai to regain the balance in their hearts and the dignity of being a man.

However, the two of them were not complacent because they had passed the emperor's coma, and the emperor was always supreme in their minds. Seeing that the emperor was groggy and asleep, the two of them tacitly called hot water and gently scrubbed the sleeping emperor's body before dressing and leaving.

When Xiao Yiran woke up and came to visit Xiao Xin, he felt a little ashamed again, feeling that he was really sorry for the baby in swaddling clothes.

When ordering Xiang Lin to go back to draw up a training plan, Xiao Yiran was not idle, and he was also thinking about how to train the troops. At the same time, Siu Yiran went to the training ground every day to inspect it, and the next day he would go to the east horse farm to have a look.

"Cavalry, war horses."

Xiao Yiran muttered repeatedly in his heart. In this era, even until the invention of firearms, that is, throughout the era of cold weapons, cavalry was an irreplaceable and powerful army. Where can I find a large number of war horses? This gave Xiao Yiran a headache.

"That's right, firearms!"

Xiao Yiran exclaimed in his heart, why did he think of firearms now? Xiao Yiran couldn't help but secretly complain to himself. "One nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal", Xiao Yiran remembered the composition and proportion of black powder. It's just that Xiao Yiran doesn't know where to find saltpeter, as for sulfur, Xiao Yiran is not worried, when the smelter refines copper ore, it will volatilize a lot of sulfur gas, as long as it is cooled, it can crystallize sulfur. Charcoal is no different. Only saltpeter, Xiao Yiran didn't know where to find it.

The appearance of saltpeter, Xiao Yiran can still vaguely remember that to study archaeology, there are two sub-courses that must be learned, one is history, and the other is geography. Therefore, Xiao Yiran can know a lot of ores for this reason.

Saltpeter could not be found for a while, but sulfur and charcoal could be prepared in advance. I thought of it, and I immediately came to Liangmu.

"Liang Mu, there are two things for you to do. First, select 500 catties of fine charcoal, store it first, and use it in the future. Second, when refining copper ore, will you smell a pungent smell? That's the evaporated sulfur gas, and you have to find a way to let those gases flow through a channel and cool the channel, and then the cooled sulfur gas will form yellow sulfur crystals on the walls of the channel, and you will carefully put these crystals away and store them as well for future use.

You should note that sulfur and charcoal cannot be kept together, sulfur is an extremely flammable item, and must be kept away from fire and guarded. ”
