Just after the Spring Festival, in a garden in the Nanda Governor's Office in Chengzhen, Guizhou, Li Bin was watching his nineteen sons practicing martial arts. The master who taught Li Jie to practice martial arts was Wang Yanzhang, the coach of the third town of Zhennan Langqi and Yang Dayan, the coach of the fourth town of Zhennan Langqi.

So far, Li Bin has fifty-six sons. The nineteen sons who are practicing martial arts are over eight years old. Among them, the oldest eldest son, Li Jie, is already eleven years old after the Chinese New Year.

Although Li Jie was only eleven years old, he was five feet and four inches tall, which was 1.62 meters and a very strong figure. He was holding an iron spear and constantly stabbing the wooden stake in front of him.

Li Jie's eight or nine-year-old brothers all looked like little bulls, and their height and size were far higher than those of the same age.

Wang Yanzhang said to Li Bin with some emotion: "Lord, the young masters are all born with divine power, and they are extremely talented in practicing the qi technique. Now, Young Master Li Jie is only eleven years old, and the cultivation of the vital energy in his body has reached the realm of a martial artist. Perhaps in two or three years, Young Master Li Jie will become a master warrior."

Yang Dayan followed and said, "I think Young Master Li Jie is likely to be promoted to a Grand Master Warrior before the age of eighteen. The other eighteen young masters should not be worse than Young Master Li Jie."

Li Bin smiled and said to Wang Yanzhang and Yang Dayan: "You have to work harder and have more kids to help these sons of this marquis in the future."

Perhaps because Li Bin was transformed by that thunder, almost all of Li Bin's sons had brute force. Others' six or seven-year-old children were still playing with mud. When Li Bin's sons were six or seven years old, they could run around in the martial arts training ground with a stone pier worth 100 kilograms.

What made Li Bin even happier was that although he could not practice the qi technicians himself, his sons all had the top talent for cultivating the qi.

In addition to the eldest son Li Jie who has been promoted to the Huajin Warrior, ten of Li Bin's other eighteen sons in the garden have been promoted to the Dark Warrior, and the remaining eight are also Mingjin Warriors. You should know that these eighteen children are between the ages of eight and nine.

Yang Dayan smiled, "Don't worry, lord, all eight concubines in my family are pregnant. I will continue to work hard and have more sons to help the young masters in the future."

The generals summoned from the Tai Chi Bagua diagram are no different from normal people, and they can get married and have children. For example, Lu Bu, the deputy commander of the Xiangzhou Governor, has married dozens of wives and concubines, and has even more sons and daughters than Li Bin.

At this time, Chen Ping suddenly came over, glanced at the nineteen children who were practicing martial arts, then walked to Li Bin and whispered: "Lord, news has come from the Wei State."

When Li Bin heard this, he turned his head to Wang Yanzhang and Yang Dayan and said, "You continue to urge the nineteen boys to practice martial arts. I will go and handle government affairs first."

"Yes, lord." Wang Yanzhang and Yang Dayan clasped their fists at the same time and said respectfully.

After Li Bin and Chen Ping came to a study room, Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "Lord, according to the information obtained by Yunshe, Wei State is preparing to expand the inner guards from ten to thirty branches, the outer guards from sixteen to forty-eight branches, and the front guards from fourteen to forty-two branches, which is equivalent to tripling the number of inner guards, outer guards and front guards. In addition, Wei State is also preparing to expand these thirty inner guards, forty-eight outer guards and forty-two border guards into the five-brigade system. In this way, Wei State will have 120 guards and the total strength of the imperial guards alone will reach 4.2 million."

After pausing, Chen Ping continued, "In addition, the Wei State is also preparing to follow our Zhennan Army and establish the Mansion Guard. It is planned to establish 80 Mansion Guards in a capital road and sixteen prefectures in Wei State. The organization is the same as the Wei State's imperial guards, and they are all in the five-brigade system."

Li Bin frowned and said, "It seems that the new emperor of Wei is very courageous. He is preparing to expand the Wei army several times in one go!"

Chen Hong, the 26th emperor of the Great Wei Empire, died of illness in September last year, in September of the third year of Ruikang in the Great Yan. Crown Prince Chen Long immediately ascended the throne and became the 27th emperor of the Great Wei Empire.

Chen Long is only 28 years old this year, two years younger than Li Bin. After the Chinese New Year, Li Bin is already in his thirties.

When Chen Long was the crown prince, he strongly advocated that the Great Wei Empire should expand its military equipment, and even secretly claimed that the shameful alliance with the Great Yan Empire should be abolished.

Back then, the Great Wei court deposed its martial arts and destroyed the Tu family army, the most combative force of the Great Wei Empire. Chen Long, who was still the crown prince, then pointed at the nose of the emperor Chen Hong in front of the civil and military ministers of the court, shouted, saying that Emperor Chen Hong was framed by loyal and kindness and destroyed the arms of the Great Wei Dynasty.

He made Emperor Chen Hong so angry that he didn't faint, and he immediately deposed Chen Long's position as the crown prince.

However, Emperor Chen Hong was almost fifty years old at that time, but only Chen Long, the son. He said that he wanted to depose Chen Long's position as crown prince, so he could only say that Chen Hong could not leave the throne to outsiders!

It was not a good thing for the Zhennan Army to ascend the throne for only more than a few months before Chen Long formulated such a huge military expansion plan. After all, the Southern Barbarian Protectorate and Meizhou Guardians controlled by the Zhennan Army both had a long border with the Great Wei Empire.

Now the Great Wei Empire is preparing to expand the imperial guards and the military forces to seven million. The Southern Barbarian Protectorate and the Zhennan Army, which are guarding the Meizhou Palace, will immediately add considerable pressure.

Li Bin asked Chen Ping in a deep voice: "Does the civil servants of Wei agree to this large-scale expansion of the new emperor of Wei?"

You should know that the Great Wei Empire has always followed the path of focusing on culture and over military affairs, and using literature to control martial arts, the authority of the entire Great Wei Empire can be said to be in the hands of civil officials.

Chen Ping said: "Reporting to the lord, the civil servants of Wei State certainly disagree. However, the new emperor of Wei State was cruel and ruthless. After winning over several imperial guards in Changle City, the capital of Wei State, he launched a bloody purge on the Wei State court without any scruples. Dozens of high-ranking officials of Wei State were chopped off their heads, their families were also confiscated, many of them were even killed, and hundreds of officials were implicated. According to Yunshe statistics, at least 100,000 people were killed in this purge."

Li Bin was slightly stunned, "It's indeed cruel and ruthless, but it's also decisive. It seems that our Zhennan Army will have to deploy more troops on the border between the Nanman Protectorate, Meizhou Guardian and Wei State, and Yunshe will also strengthen its intelligence work on the Wei State."

Chen Ping then said: "Lord, there is another thing. The new emperor of Wei State seems to be preparing to reactivate Tu Lin, the commander of the former Tu family army!"

In fact, even if the Great Wei Empire expanded its army to seven million, Li Bin didn't take it too seriously. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Wei State's army was too weak. If the Zhennan Army had not sent troops to help the Great Wei court quell the rebellion of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, it would have been a good idea to change the Wei State.

However, when he heard that the new emperor of Wei was preparing to reactivate Tu Lin, the commander of the Tu family army, Li Bin's expression suddenly became serious. Don't forget that Li Bin took advantage of the situation to rob the Tu family army, but he had all taken dozens of generals of the Tu family army. Now, most of the 31 generals of the Tu family army in the Central Plains of Zhennan Army are the deputy commanders of the imperial guards or the guards of the palace, and the lowest-ranking position also serves as the commander of the town of Yi Town.

Since the Zhennan Army joined the town-level organization between the guards and the brigade, each town has one town coach and two deputy town coaches.

"Yun Club immediately mobilized all forces in the territory of Wei to collect all the information about Tu Lin. In addition, the surveillance efforts should be further strengthened against Han Zhen, Xu Ying, Wang Sheng and others, and do not miss any clues!"

"Yes, lord, my subordinates understand."

In a gorgeous mansion in Changle City, the capital of the Great Wei Empire, the new emperor Chen Long looked at a room with a closed door and asked an eunuch beside him in a deep voice: "How long has it been?"

The eunuch hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it's only half an hour."

Emperor Chen Long frowned, "Has it only been half an hour? Why do I feel like two or three hours have passed!"

At this time, the Minister of War Cheng Tinghui, next to him, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's been only half an hour. Since Doctor Xu is sure, he will definitely be able to cure Tu Lin and Tu Zhao and his son."

Suddenly, the scream of a man was heard from the room where the door was closed, and then another scream also rang in the room.

Emperor Chen Long felt nervous, but he didn't say anything else, just walked around the yard anxiously.

After another hour, the hoarse screams of two people in the room stopped. Soon after, the closed door opened and a thin middle-aged man walked out first.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, the broken meridians of Tu Lin and Tu Zhao have been completely repaired by steaming and fumigation. Cao Min used acupuncture to destroy the vital energy of Tu Lin and Tu Zhao in various parts of the body and redistributed it back into the meridians. According to Cao Min's previous experience in treating the poison of Yuanqi, Tu Lin and Tu Zhao should be able to recover their strength before being poisoned soon, and may even increase it slightly." The thin middle-aged man said respectfully to Emperor Chen Long.

When Emperor Chen Long heard this, he immediately laughed, "It turns out that he is a miracle doctor. He has issued an order to be appointed as the head of the Imperial Hospital, with a third-rank rank, and is in charge of all matters of the Imperial Hospital! In addition, he will be rewarded with tens of thousands of taels of gold for the Lord Xu!"

When the thin middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but look happy. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Chen Long and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Get up! By the way, Tu Lin, how are Tu Zhao and his son doing now?"

"Your Majesty, because the treatment process is very painful, the two generals Tu Lin and Tu Zhao are now very weak, but they will recover soon."

Emperor Chen Long immediately said to the Minister of War Cheng Tinghui: "Shangshu Cheng, I will return to the palace first. You can continue to stay. After Tu Lin and Tu Zhao and his son recover, you will personally bring their father and son into the palace to see me."

Cheng Tinghui hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Tu Lin, Tu Zhao and his son's health recovered, I will immediately take them into the palace to meet His Majesty."

That night, Cheng Tinghui, the Minister of War, asked Tu Lin, who looked a little pale but was energetic, "Super Tu, how do you feel?"

Tu Lin said with some emotion: "I never expected that I, Tu Lin, could still restore my vitality in this life. Tsui Keen is worthy of being a miracle doctor. He can even repair the meridians destroyed by the vital energy dispersion, which even gave Tu Zhao a hope to go further."

Cheng Tinghui immediately said, "Sir Tu, you must thank the emperor this time. You may not know that in order to repair the meridians for you and Tu Zhao, the emperor not only took out a variety of precious herbs collected in the palace, but also spent a lot of money to purchase several herbs that were not in the palace. A rough estimate is that the cost may exceed one million taels of gold! The emperor even waited for Tsui Keen to personally say that you and Tu Zhao's damaged meridians were repaired before returning to the palace."

Tu Lin looked a little excited when he heard this, "What kind of virtue is my father and son? How can I make the emperor treat him so kindly! My father and son are willing to go through fire and water for the emperor in this life, and they will be heartbroken!"

Cheng Tinghui smiled and said, "Supervisor Tu, you will have the opportunity to serve the emperor immediately. To be honest, the emperor is ready to let you serve as the Minister of War and be fully responsible for the expansion plan of our Great Wei army this time!"

Tu Lin was stunned. You must know that Cheng Tinghui is the Minister of War. "Well, Lord Cheng?"

Cheng Tinghui said proudly: "With the emperor's love, I will serve as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

Tang Rui, the original Secretariat of the Great Wei court, also fell into the purge of Emperor Chen Long, and was even executed by the three clans, and all the property was confiscated to the royal treasury.

Tu Lin hurriedly said, "Congratulations to Lord Cheng for his success, and I will call you the Prime Minister in the future."

"Haha, in the future, I will cooperate sincerely with Tu Shuai and build a strong army for our Great Wei!"

Tu Lin suddenly frowned, "Mr. Cheng, I heard that the emperor is planning to expand the forty guards of our Great Wei to 120 guards, and each guard is equipped with a fifth brigade. In addition, it is also ready to form eighty guards of the palace, and the organization is also a fifth brigade. I wonder if this is the case?"

Cheng Tinghui nodded, "It's true. The emperor is ready to directly expand one hundred and twenty imperial guards and eighty guards in one step."

"But according to the Five Brigade system, there are 7 million people in total with one hundred and twenty imperial guards and eighty military guards. In this way, the military expenditure of our Great Wei will be astronomical."

Cheng Tinghui smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Ship Tu, do you know how much wealth the emperor seized from the houses of those killed ministers a while ago?"

Tu Lin's brows unfolded suddenly, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the emperor must have gained a lot."

"It's not just a lot of money. If all the money is converted into gold, it should be more than 80 million taels. Now my Great Wei court is not short of money at all!"

"What? More than 80 million taels of gold? How could there be so much?" Tu Lin looked shocked.

"Hehe, that's the accumulation of hundreds of big families for hundreds of years!"

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the house, "Father! Father! I broke through! I broke through!"
Chapter completed!
