Country and Beauty

Although he tried his best to hide behind a tree, an arrow still shot into his shoulder. Due to the distance, the power of the arrow was not very strong. It stopped right at the third part of his body and was stuck on his shoulder blade. The intense pain made his forehead break out in cold sweat. He knew that if the arrow was left in his body, it would worsen his wounds. If he did not stop the bleeding in time, it would kill him. With a grunt, he pulled out the arrow. The pain was excruciating, far beyond the endurance of humans. With the current situation where there was no anesthetic, no doctor, and no correct method to remove the arrow, ordinary people would have already died from the pain long ago.

However, he was not an ordinary person. His will was stronger than he'd ever imagined, and the pain made his head feel clearer. A servant hurriedly used bandages to stop the bleeding, but just as it was about to end, a sharp, trident arrow pierced his throat. Looking at this loyal servant, he saw that he had become a cold corpse in the blink of an eye. Hot blood sprayed all over his face, mixed with all kinds of flavors.

"Under the bamboo, no." Suddenly, he stood up and left the huge tree. In stiff Chinese, he shouted towards the depths of the forest: "Despicable and shameless Qin people, you are all honorable warriors of the Great Qin Empire, how can you be like despicable and despicable ninjas who shoot people in the dark." Recognize your identities, you are all warriors, not ninjas. I am a loyal person who will issue a challenge to you as a warrior! If you are heroes and men, then stop attacking with hidden arrows and fight with me as warriors! Come on! I'll wait for you here! "

Although he spoke the words clearly and clearly in Chinese, he actually didn't know how to interrupt. Regardless of whether it was where the sentence ended or not, he would finish it in one go before stopping. It was extremely tiring for him, and Xu Le and the others in the forest were feeling even more uncomfortable listening to him.

Xu Le Chong rolled his eyes at Shi Jin, "Poor kid, have you gone stupid from anger!" He smiled at the surrounding Qin soldiers and asked: "The warrior's identity, tsk, Overlord does have the courage to fight against ten thousand enemies, but Han Xin has ambushed him from all sides, causing him to be killed by the Wu River. Even though Lu Bu was powerful, and was the leader of the three great generals, he was also decapitated. It's fine to fight alone if you are brave, but it's the actions of a boorish person who is extremely foolish. "

The Qin State Navy soldiers who were in disguise started to laugh quietly.

Xu Le thought for a moment, then shouted towards Dao Zhihong: "Warriors of Samo's legion across from you, listen up. If you surrender without conditions, my Great Qin's Henghai General Xu Le will fight with you as a warrior. It is not a matter of life and death, but you must unconditionally surrender right now! "

As a warrior, Shimizu had long since taken life and death lightly. He had thought that death would not be able to rouse him, but in the face of reality, he too was shaken. Hearing Xu Le's reply, Island Elder was enraged and shouted: "Surrender, this is the biggest insult to a warrior. Samo's legion only has warriors who die fighting, no cowards who surrender!"

This was the sign language used between ninjas to communicate with each other, meaning to alternate cover, waiting for the opportunity to retreat!

Although the Pirate State did not have the experience of fighting on a large scale, he was completely imitating the Central Plains army model. Using slaves, farmers who had lost their lands, and impoverished Waves people, they formed an army. They were not as well-trained as the Pirate State's traditional warriors, nor did they have the excellent personal martial arts of the traditional warriors. Receiving Island Jin Hong's order, the soldiers of Samo's legion did not move at all at the back, while the soldiers at the back of the group quietly left.

In the dense forest, not even half of the people's line of sight could be seen. In addition, their movements were light and did not cause much movement. Xu Le was clearly unaware of this. However, in the dense shrubbery five hundred steps behind Shimizu, there was a trace of cold light.

He purposely exposed his body to the boundary of the Qin Army's crossbow, and shouted in the direction of where the Qin Army was hiding: "You are the general of the Upper Sky Empire of Qin State. As for me, I am a vassal state. Logically speaking, we are not enemies with the Guan Family. However, with your esteemed self's identity, don't you feel like you've lost the dignity of a transcendent power by attacking a Subordinate Country and using such despicable methods? A fight between warriors should be fair and square. Your excellency's actions and lack of decorum as a warrior. Perhaps this is the attitude towards subjects in the kingdom of heaven. I don't know if this is your personal action or your usual style. Please hand it over to me! "

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and he could still see the silhouette of the person in front of him. At this time, Xu Le had stepped forward, and now that the Qin soldiers had stepped forward, they could see that there were some tree branches and grass tied to their original Qin Army armors, this was just a prehistoric disguise. In the Pirate State, this kind of camouflage technique could not be learned by ordinary people, but was another profession that existed alongside warriors, the Ninja's skills. In fact, in later generations of film works, the ninja is a smoke bomb exploded and disappeared into thin air, like a god. In fact, the Ninja's invisibility was stronger than most people's, but at least he wasn't that amazing.

In fact, the so-called ninja arts were actually the same as magic and illusion techniques. If they were on an open grassland, the ninja would usually dig a cover hole in advance. The cover would be covered with grass, and when smoke was released, they would quickly hide inside the hole. Or they could use special camouflage materials to camouflage their bodies in the surrounding environment — every blade of grass, every stone, every dirt. In the eyes of the famous Pirate State, warriors were servants, while ninjas were servants. Not only did they carry out dangerous missions, they were also killed because they were involved in secrets by their masters. Even if they had made a huge contribution, the rewards they would receive would only be a fraction of the rewards given to the warriors who had to carry out missions at the same time. Warriors in the Pirate State were shameless to such an extent. Seeing hundreds of so-called Ninjas appear all at once in Qin Army, Island Jin Yi Hong's face darkened. In Pirate State, only a famous warrior who could feed ten Warriors could raise a single Ninja. Seeing that Qin Army had actually sent out several hundred Ninjas, she was filled with righteousness and had to re-evaluate Qin Army's strength.

In fact, it was just a habitual way of thinking. Xie Fei was a special forces of the future, and the ability that he was most proficient in was precisely to carry out missions similar to the Ninjas. Furthermore, compared to the so-called Ninjas, Xie Fei's disguise skills were much better, if not for the fact that he had lost all of his equipment, Xie Fei would have been able to move around with ease amidst tens of thousands of enemies. To borrow the words from the Brilliant Sword, the character of the first military chief of each unit would determine the character of this unit. Xie Fei was a member of the special forces of the future. From the formation of the troops to training and fighting, he placed more emphasis on scouting, searching, camouflaging and setting up trap s, thus, the most elite soldiers of the army of the Qin State were not the main fighting force, but their scouts instead. The scouts were also quasi-special forces, although in this time and space, Xie Fei was unable to train such elite special forces, but this kind of scout unit that had undergone Xie Fei's simple training was also the king of this time and space.

When Xu Le heard Island's passionate protest, he turned around and said to the soldiers around him, "Look, when he's even more unreasonable, he'll politely ask for your advice. If the one who loses the most is me, then he'll pull out his knife and chop up the fat pork!"

As someone who came from a water squid, Xu Le was not an obedient child who was willing to suffer losses. Not only did he take advantage of her, he even took advantage of her on the surface. He was indeed a little afraid of the Qin Army's fighting strength, thinking that no matter how much more they fought, they would not be able to get back at him, so he decided to write a novel. As long as he could use words to stabilize Xu Le and withdraw his troops, it wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But he never would have thought. Qin Army's fighting strength was not weak, and Xu Le's words were even more wicked.

He pressed his hand on the hilt of his blade and shouted: "Don't you know that you can kill me if you want to humiliate me? For the honor of the warrior, I want to fight you now! "

Shimizu's family, the brothers Shimada Youxin and Yamada YouRong, both pulled out their ring head knife s at the same time, ready to make a move.

Xu Le laughed arrogantly: "Alright, there are two choices for you. One is for us to challenge you three warriors, and two is for you three to challenge our group!"

"Baga!" The two were separated by fifty steps. Even if Yamada was the 100-meter sprint champion, he would need at least five or six seconds. Xu Le was calm as he took out a pair of foramina s from a soldier's hands and aimed at Yamada who was running. Yamada was scared out of his wits as he hurriedly fell to the ground, rolling around like a beautiful donkey. Seeing that Xu Le was only playing with him and did not shoot any arrows, the dusty Shan Tian You Rong could not help but be enraged. With a furious roar, she charged forward once again.

"Bang!" "Bang!" Over a dozen crossbow bolts struck at Yantian You Rong. Right at this moment, Yantian You Rong also arrived in front of Xu Le. Xu Liangqiang pulled out his blade and swept it across without any tricks. A huge head flew out from his shoulder.

Shimizu's face turned pale while Yamada issued a pig-slaughtering howl with a letter. Just as he was about to charge forward and fight with Xu Le. However, Shimin Zhihong grabbed Yamada's letter and said, "There will be plenty of them left. They are not afraid of burning firewood. "Let's go!"

The remaining members of the Samo's legion were all well-trained warriors. If they were in the wilderness, these hundred over warriors would not even have enough strength to use the crossbow. More than ten corpses were left on the ground, fleeing into the distance.

When Xu Le saw Samo's legion running away, he did not give the order to give chase. Instead, he exposed a big grey wolf's evil grin and said, "After a busy night, brothers, clean up the battlefield. Quickly, eat and sleep!"

"General, they only have less than a thousand people left. If we keep them, they'll be a huge threat to us!" Academy Officer Zhang Tong said nervously.

Xu Le said disapprovingly: "It would be strange if they could escape. Jiao Zhou and his group stayed the whole night, if they didn't see the meat, then it would be a bit ungrateful." Xu Le turned around and patted Zhang Tong's shoulder, and smiled: "I just realized that you have another characteristic today."

"What?"

"To like to eat alone is not a good trait, especially not a good one. Change it in the future. " Xu Le laughed.

"WHAT!" Zhang Tong took off his helmet and replied in a daze, "When have I ever eaten solo?"

In the end, Xu Le was still not able to completely annihilate the entire island, but the Samo's legion was completely finished. Other than not being able to find the corpse of Island Jin Yi Hong, according to the captives, there were a total of 1973 warriors in the army of Samo's legion, leaving a total of 1856 corpses at the scene. There were also more than 10 captives, and it was speculated that less than 100 of them escaped from the island.

After the war, Xu Le concluded, "What is war? This is war. The emperor told me that war is the art of killing. Do you not understand art? It is to magnify your advantage, to attack the enemy's weakness, to hurt these bunch of grandsons, to be afraid, this is the real war!"

Xu Le revealed an evil smile and said loudly: "To put it bluntly, there's nothing worth living in vain in this war. Is it completely unfair? This group of short fellows said that they were an army. They were not even comparable to the civilians of Qin State, and at least they had some bow, arrows, or decent armor. Look at our capture this time, other than the 372 old ring head knife s, there are more than a hundred sets of broken armor. This kind of equipment can't even be compared to our Qin Army s, and even the bandits on the prairie are better equipped, they at least have one bow and one sword each. But these little shorties, they are really pitiful, look at these bamboo spears that can be cut down ten times with one slash, those inferior arrows that have a range of less than 100 steps, they are actually still grinded with beast bones. "

Xu Le sternly said: "I'm telling you little bastards, don't give me a hard time, don't be arrogant, don't be arrogant."

"Yes sir!"

Xu Le continued: "Samo's legion is the trump card of the Island's Jin family, as well as the last line of resistance of the Nine Prefectures Island. In the future when we fight, we have to use pleasure as our highest goal, release arrows, play ambush as our center of thought, injury only, and not harm ourselves as our basic requirements. All in all, we have to be sinister and despicable, learn to fish in troubled waters.

There was a saying that a general had his own kind of soldiers. This didn't sound like a postwar summary of the regular army of the country. It sounded like the boss of a gang was encouraging his brothers to gang up on him. Slapping the door's face, battering the face?

This was why it was hard to change one's nature. Xu Le had been a general in the Qin Army for a few years and had not forgotten his identity as the second in command in the water squid.

The battle on the Nine Prefectures Island was nearing its end. At this moment, the massive battle on the East Sea had officially begun. In this battle, the Yukawa's hyacinth accurately grasped the fact that the weather was bad for fighting, and as the enemy had no intention to prepare for battle, he became famous for it just because he was not prepared for it. In this space and time, the Fukuda and the Qin Army were allied. However, Jin Chuanyiyuan, who had lost his beloved son and was greatly disturbed, gave the order to first attack the Fukuda and then take revenge.

As the strongest name, Jin Chuanyiyuan's order was very simple, with only two words, "All of the troops charging, attacking the last Zhang Empire, all of the looted property and women all belong to them. Take a step back and kill them all! "

Forcing others to take advantage of them and coaxing them to do the same, this was the only way to rule the army. No matter what kind of benevolence, morality, loyalty, or righteousness, these were all flashy and unrealistic things.

The funny thing was, the historical scene had reappeared, but this time they had switched protagonists. With Jin Chuanyiyuan leading the 25,000 Warriors to attack, the Yukawa's hyacinth did not realise that his nightmare was about to happen.

Chang An, Imperial Palace, Xie Fei's hands-off manager had once again reached his end. After obtaining the tribute from the Four Nations Island and the Fukuda, the Qin State resolved the financial crisis in time. However, Xie Fei had not even passed his happy days when another troublesome matter was pushed to his side. However, Wang Meng did not agree with it. "In the past, hereditary valve had the privilege of exempt taxes, and as time went on, the fields under their name grew more and more, taking Chang'an ten years ago as an example, the land under Chang An's name had a total of 3.2 million mu, but the land under the name of the Shi Family was more than 1.2 million mu, with 90% of the people of Chang An City taking up a little more than 40% of the land, so they had to pay a 100% tax. Before the liberation of Chang'an, more than 90% of the land in Chang'an was under the control of the Huns and other influential families. They didn't have to pay taxes, but nearly 500,000 poor people had to pay 80% of their income.

Xie Fei asked in reply: "Soldiers, use your blood and sweat to build this foundation, we want to exempt them from paying taxes, is that wrong?"

Wang Meng said, "Based on the Emperor's position, compassionate warriors are a righteous act, but it will also be a disaster for the future!"

Xie Fei looked at Wang Meng in confusion. Wang Meng then explained, "Did the emperor not know where the hereditary valve came from when he was oppressing the emperor? It was an example of Wei family in Hedong. As the master of Wei family in Hedong, Wei Qing founded the Wei family in Hedong. Wei Qing was only a Manu before, but what about him and his descendants? The Wei Family of Hedong County is the biggest family in Hedong County, their disciples control the military and political power in Hedong County, but as the Qin Army moves towards the east, the Wei Family is the first to descend. At the same time, Wei Qing, as a Manu, was able to establish an underground kingdom above the local government. In the future, the descendants of General Bei Gong and General Du would also be able to become a great clan like the Wei's in the east of the river. "

"Defend against Du Jiyan!" Xie Fei said indifferently.

Wang Meng nodded his head, cupped his hands and said: "This subject has already thought of this problem. If one wanted the rule of law to be greater than the rule of man, then they must treat each other equally. Only by doing so could it be carried out. For the same reason, only by regulating the tax would it be possible to tell the people that the Qin State was the true ruler of the world. In the past, the powerful ones had only controlled and rounded up the leaders of the various clans and tribes. This would save them some effort, but once these leaders had a bad intention, the people of their clans would respond to it and would start a war. Setting up a house, without touching on the fact that the clan leaders had too much power, was a way to strengthen the control over the people of the various clans. The tax payment had to be paid no matter how low the tax was set. This way, the commoners would gradually realize that they had a higher authority over the leaders of their clans. Especially the young children and the newborns. Since they were young and knew about this, they have been able to secretly establish the position of the Emperor in their hearts. The tax will be levied directly into the family according to the rule of surpassing the leader of the tribe. "

Taxes were paid by all, as they were in later generations, and the blow to tax evasion was severe. Xie Fei had always wanted to solve the problem of the tribe leader being too powerful, but he had never found the right way. The tribe leader was simply like a local tyrant. All of the members of the tribe were his slaves and property. Once his power, status, and interests were threatened, they would all choose to rebel. This is also the basic reason why the ethnic minorities and the Han nationality have been at odds for a thousand years.

To the extent that they could accept it, they would slowly restrict their power. They would take the method of boiling the frog in warm water and slowly push it forward. By the time they realized what had happened, they would not be able to rebel even if they wanted to. There are fifty-six nationalities in China, and most of the ethnic minorities can coexist peacefully with the Han nationality. The leader of the tribe was in charge of the division of the property and interests of all members of the clan. Possessing unscrupulous authority.

Xie Fei thought for a while and said: "This method is feasible, but in the entire nation, there are many lands, so we cannot generalize about everything, but we have to make use of people as appropriate, and handle everything according to their discretion. The north is thin, the harvest is low, the weather is bad and natural disasters occur frequently, so it is necessary to humanize the taxation and rationalize the disposal. "

"Your subject's decree!"

Xie Fei then continued, "For the other tribes that are subordinate to us, we have to do a good job with the hukou system. Not only must we collect taxes, we must also do the same for the laws and the people of the world. We have to form an idea in their minds, if there are any problems, we must go to the government and not the leader of their tribes. While respecting their customs, the laws of the Qin State must also be fully implemented. All tribes must abide by the laws of the Qin State. This is a matter of principle. "In order to ensure and ease the attitude of the tribal leaders, they can be allowed to participate in the judgment of the law in advance."

When Wang Meng heard Xie Fei's unique insight, his eyes lit up. Such gentle methods will subtly subdue the hearts of all these tribes, making them one with the Han Chinese people, related to each other. In the long run, they will truly form a heart. "

Possessing judicial power, civil disputes, criminal cases, were all matters that concerned the interests of the citizens. This was a manifestation of sovereignty, and in the feudal rule of past dynasties, even the wise Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty would have to show respect. And Tang Taizong, they did not really take over the authority of the leaders of the other tribes. When they were strong, they would force them to obey by force, and when the center was weak, the tribes would break away from justice and rebel repeatedly, causing the country to be in chaos and the country to fall.

Xie Fei was extremely emotional, with his iron blooded wrist, he could only show off his might for a short while, and was never able to achieve a peaceful ending. Genghis Khan was a very good example, the Yuan Dynasty had established the largest empire, but not only did they not resolve the conflicts between the different races, they had even increased the enmity between the different races. The Han people were great because they had a heart as broad as the sea. That was the truth.

Xie Fei saw that Wang Meng had yet to leave and asked again, "Jing Shu, what else do you want?"

Wang Meng sighed, "Your majesty, Qin State carries out His Majesty's national policy of resting, ploughing, farming, opening businesses and raising livestock. Qin State is also developing rapidly, however, there is a shortage of manpower in all walks of life, in all fields to varying degrees. The rise of industry and commerce required a huge supply of goods, which in turn required a large number of workshops, which in turn required a large number of artisans. Water conservancy, farming, road building, and so on all need a large number of people, especially talented people. "

In the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the territory was only half of the Great Qin, but they also had a population of more than 10 million. Now that we have taken down millions of square kilometers of land in the northern border, we are in dire straits because we lacked manpower. Xie Fei sighed: "I need people, I need a lot of talented people, I need a lot of talented people who are willing to listen to my orders and work for me, if not, no matter how good it is, if I meet a monk with a crooked mouth, I will have to recite it to me."

Just then, the palace official, Zhao Yan, came over and said, "Your Majesty, lunch is ready!"

Xie Fei waved his hand: "Jing Luo, you haven't eaten yet right? You should have dinner with us, we'll think about it while we eat!"

"Thank you for your grace, your majesty!" Wang Meng thanked him.

Zhao Yan took small steps as he quietly left. As he stared at Zhao Yan's back, he suddenly had an idea. He slapped his forehead. "Oh, why didn't I think of that?"

Wang Meng looked at Xie Fei's nervous and crazy laughter, and could not help but ask anxiously, "Your majesty, what is the matter that makes you so happy?!"

Xie Fei said mysteriously: "We have thought of a solution to our shortage of people."

"What method is this!"

Xie Fei said: "Women, women!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wang Meng was shocked. What kind of method was this!?
