As the Sixth Elder asked, the eyes of everyone at the table focused on Tang Luo's face again, and they wanted to hear what this Tang Clan Tianjiao planned next.

In response to everyone's concerned gazes, Tang Luo smiled at everyone in response, although he didn't know how the topic turned back to himself, but he also wanted to take this time to share some of his understanding of the forces of the world with everyone here.

After all, for a man who has been leading the family to rise and become an ancestor since he was four years old, many of his ideas need the understanding and support of everyone in the family, and the sooner this understanding and support appears, the more beneficial it will be for his future arrangements.

Of course, even if no one in the family supports him, he will continue to do this, because he is sure that this path is the right one.

Adjusting his breathing slightly, Tang Luo said to the patriarch Tang Zhi and everyone at the table: "Before answering the question of the six elders, I want to talk to you about what I think of the composition of the family's combat power, what do the patriarchs and the six elders think?"

Obviously, it was Tang Gaomin who asked Tang Luo about the civilians of Xiling, but it turned into a discussion about the family's combat power, and several elders who didn't know why were silent, and their eyes turned to the six elders and the patriarch, giving the choice to the two.

As the core of the Tang clan's power, it is always strange to listen to a fifteen-year-old child to form the family's combat power, if another teenager says that he wants to talk about it, he is afraid that he will not be taught a direct lesson, but Tang Luo proposed it made everyone present want to hear and see the curiosity in their hearts.

Sixth Elder Tang Gaoming and Patriarch Tang glanced at each other, turned his head to Tang Luo and said lightly, "Minister Luo, please." ”

Hearing the confirmation of the two people's answers, everyone at the table looked at the young man with his hair tied and wearing a crown for a long time, and listened quietly.

"The so-called family combat power, the obvious parts such as martial arts, sisters-in-law, clan warriors, spirit beasts, puppets, organs, treasures, battle armor, spirit soldiers, vassal families, these do not need to be repeated, the elders here know better than me. Tang Luo waved his hand lightly, threw away the part that everyone at the table thought was going to be a big book, and said seriously: "What I want to talk to you about is the war potential of a family. ”

The new term "war potential?" made everyone at the table a little confused, looking at each other in order to get a positive answer from the eyes of others.

Literally, it's probably about war and something like that, but no one has really studied this part seriously, but I vaguely feel that it should be important, but I don't know why.

Great Elder Tang Siyuan, Sixth Elder Tang Gaomin, and Pavilion Elder Tang Hongtao were just interested in these four words, but after hearing these four words, Patriarch Tang Zhi and First Tang Sen became extremely serious, because just four words made them feel like an initiation, instantly grasped a lot of things, and developed a lot of ideas, so that the two of them couldn't wait to listen to Tang Luo's next analysis.

As soon as he saw everyone's expressions, Tang Luo knew that this should be a subject that Tang had never done, these days he was always thinking about why Tang Zhi was such a wise person, he would give up tens of millions of people on both sides of the Lingjiang River so easily, even the local civilians in Xiling didn't care, and now he finally had an answer.

Because these superiors only value the population and warriors actually controlled by the family, but do not care about the power of the low-level civilians, in the final analysis, it is because even if the Tang clan has the foundation and even strength to build the country, they still do not put themselves in the position of the real ruler.

These superiors clearly divide the boundaries of family, vassals, foreign races, and civilians, so when deploying the strategy, they will only consider the family and vassals, and anyone else is subconsciously regarded as an enemy by them, so of course there is nothing wrong, but after defeating the Mi clan to dominate Xiling, this concept will still not change, and the Tang clan will be in a corner of Longzhou in this life, don't think about making any more progress.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Luo planned to share with everyone the part he thought of about war potential: "The so-called war potential refers to the potential forces that may be mobilized by the side in the event of a war. Including human, financial, material and even spiritual strength. If it is a war that lasts for several years or even more than a decade, the key to the real victory or defeat is not only the amount of existing combat strength, but also the spiritual guidance, the replenishment of troops, the supply of resources, and the strength of morale. ”

The background of the pirate family makes the Tang clan's combat style more inclined to beheading and slaughtering, with the fierce realm warrior as the sharp knife to lead a large number of clan warriors to form a team This is the Tang clan's war method, the clan is the mortal-level concubine as a war reserve, in the case of sufficient accumulation, this tactical style of sharp knife and military formation can not only ensure the survival rate of the clan to the greatest extent, but also ensure the greatest combat effectiveness, but in the face of a war that may last for more than ten years like the extermination of the Han clan, Tang's combat style is not very good.

One of the most critical reasons is that the Tang clan's war potential is too poor, even if there are nine cultivation grounds, the clan who plans to go out to build a mansion is still facing the situation that the clan warriors are not enough, the Tang clan should have made a change a long time ago, but for some reason it has not taken action, Tang Luo plans to point out this matter: "The combat power of this clan is very strong, but the war potential is only average." Because the most intuitive embodiment of war potential is more resources, more territory, and more population. The most important of these is the number of people. ”

Tang Luo's words were easy to understand, so that everyone present immediately understood what war potential was, but just like that, the Tang clan should have done a good job, but listening to Tang Luo said that the clan was very unqualified, this is not very understandable.

Great Elder Tang Siyuan frowned and said: "The Dark Thunder Hall and the Martial Hall have a large number of city expansion tasks every year, which is to compete for external resources, as long as the heavenly and earthly treasures within a thousand miles north of Xiling appear, they will all belong to the Tang clan, although they only occupy half of the city of Xiling, but the villages and towns in the north are all under the rule of the Tang clan, with an area of three hundred miles, and the mountains and rivers in the north stretch for a hundred miles and belong to their own clan. As for the accumulation of population, there are Tang Clan martial arts halls everywhere in Xiling, and the orphans who have been collected have been trained to become clan warriors since childhood, and if good seedlings are found in the martial arts hall, they will also be reported to the martial arts cultivation ground, and over the years, they have secretly supported many small clans to become the secret vassals of the Tang clan, which is not enough to show that the Tang clan's war potential is the first in Xiling?"

Tang Siyuan's words undoubtedly resonated with everyone at the table, although no one had ever talked about war potential before, but invisibly, the ancestors of the Tang clan had already done this matter properly, and they couldn't help but be proud.

"Does the Great Elder think this is enough?" Tang Luo had a distressed expression: "Let's not talk about resources and territory, through the dossier of the treasure house of the small spirit realm this time, it is not difficult for the monarchs to find that thousands of years ago, the Han clan's Immortal Killing Army could be the first in the world, do you think that you can achieve it by adopting orphans and controlling the villagers, you must know that the Tang clan still has a large number of family sons who can't even receive retainers." ”
