Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

At first, Xiong Li, a leader of the Xiong tribe, and his descendants continued to multiply. Among them, Xiong Yi, as his direct descendant, helped Xibohou Zhou Gongzi to Jingshan. In addition, Xiong Xiong's predecessor had helped Zhou, which made Xibo Jichang submit a petition to King Cheng to cede land to him. Therefore, King Cheng granted Xiong Yi the title of a vassal state, with a territory of about 50 li, and the capital was today's Danyang. This marked the establishment of the Chu State and the formal establishment of the recognition of the then Zhou Emperor.

Unlike the Chu State, whose paternal lineage clearly belonged to the Chu State, the clan lineages of the Qin State and the Zhao State also traced back to the ancient Gaoyang, but they were all daughters of Gaoyang. In the Qin State and the Zhao State, the ancestor was the daughter of Emperor Gaoyang - Nv Xiu.

Nüxiu gave birth to Daye, who in turn gave birth to Dafei. Dafei made outstanding contributions in assisting Yu of the Xia Dynasty to control floods, and was therefore praised by Shun and given the surname Ying. Therefore, both the Qin and Zhao clans were named Ying.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds broke through the air barrier, disrupting Ying Ziying's thoughts. He raised his feet and trembled slightly, looking into the distance through the slit of the shield, and saw that the cavalry commanded by Li Shang had just defeated the Yue tribe on the side road. At the moment, they were gathering strength to launch an attack on the remaining Yue group on the right side of the confrontation road, which was still fighting fiercely with the Qin army. Da, Da! Da, Da! The heavy horse hoof sounds like firecrackers resounded across the land, meaning that every two horse hoof sounds meant that the warhorse had entered the highest speed. Ziying was not afraid of the cold arrows shot at him, and he stood on tiptoe again, concentrating all his attention.

One hundred knights lined up on the left and right wings and charged forward together. The overwhelming force was not only a visual feast for the audience, but also made both sides of the battlefield hold their breath and even stop breathing to stay focused. At this moment, there seemed to be only two sounds on the battlefield: the sound of the galloping horses and the shrill cries of the injured or dead Yue soldiers. Compared with the enemies who died under the sabers and spears, most of the dead lost their lives due to the impact of the horses.

This unprecedented tactic caused the Yue soldiers, who were originally determined to fight to the death, to waver. While they were hesitating, they

Considering whether to retreat in order to save his life. Faced with this turning point, Ren Xiong, who had rich combat experience, keenly sensed the arrival of the opportunity.

He issued an order requiring the Qin army to completely abandon the previous defensive posture and advance with all their strength, using the offensive of the cavalry to encircle the remaining Yue soldiers. You know, prisoners of war also have the possibility of calculating merit. When the Yue tribe leader realized that the situation could not be reversed, he roared in the air with a totem stick in his hand. Perhaps after receiving the order to retreat, the remaining Yue soldiers abandoned the painful

The Wu and Yue soldiers who were running quickly in the woods were confused for a moment. Should they rush forward to rescue their leader, or escape as soon as possible?

Before he could make a decision, he was knocked to the ground by the attacking Qin army and then tied up with ropes on the spot.

However, the warriors of Wu and Yue noticed that when facing the Qin soldiers, there was a different light in their eyes than usual:

Gentle and full of desire, as if an extremely hungry hand suddenly caught a glimpse of a pile of tempting fat meat.

On the other hand, after chasing for a few hundred meters, the Qin army immediately turned around and retreated. The tragedy of the Taiwei Tu Sui, who was guarding the southern border at that time, who was killed by a poisoned bow and arrow from Wu Yue because he advanced into the dense forest alone, was repeated in the recent history.

Ren Xiong ordered his military inspectors to check the beheading records in order to record the merits of the soldiers.

On the battlefield, Liu Bang held a sharp sword to the neck of the Yue chieftain and said, "Master, be careful. They are good at using it."

Ying Ying shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think he can still use it?"

Then he turned to the Yue chieftain and asked, "Hey, can you speak the Qin language?"

The response was just a string of unclear words.

Even though Ying Ying was not familiar with Wu Yue's language, he could guess that he might have started with the most basic curse.

But Ying Ying did not intend to care about the verbal disturbance of a barbarian, and turned to Ren Xiong and said, "What is the best way to deal with this matter?"

After a moment's thought, Ren Xiong said, "I will first send you back to Panyu County, and then investigate and determine which tribes are your enemies. Since they have lost many young lives, we can use this as an excuse to wipe them out on a large scale."

Hearing this, Ying Ying nodded, still smiling: "As expected, he is the Southeast Captain of a country."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ren Xiong clasped his fists to express his gratitude politely.

"Mr. County Magistrate, do I have the potential to be promoted to the rank of nobility today?" Liu Pi asked.

Ren Xiong smiled but said nothing; Ying Ying answered for him: "His Majesty has already granted you the status of a minor official without a title. You can be promoted to a higher rank for each enemy you kill. Based on your performance in today's battle, you can probably be promoted to the rank of a hairpin."

This made Liu Bang's eyes widen and he shouted, "So many people dropped out, but only two levels were raised. Is there something wrong with this promotion system?"

At this time, Ren Xiong shouted: "Liu Pi, you are so offensive! How can you speak to our master like this!?"

At the side, facing Ying Ying's answer, he smiled with relief and did not continue to argue, then explained: "According to the Qin Empire law, from the lowest soldier to the highest one can only become a 'Zhan Niao'. If one has made military achievements, generally speaking, it will only be transferred to relatives such as brothers and nephews.

As for the titles above the rank of Jinniao, they will not be awarded, and are limited to high-ranking military posts."

Finally, he gently waved his hand to stop any further questions, and then he said, "But you are a special case. You are a skilled soldier selected by His Majesty from the countryside, and you are also a cavalry commander, so your advancement mechanism is different from that of ordinary soldiers."

"What title have you been given now?" Li Shang recalled the terms of awarding honors for military achievements and calculated silently in his mind.

The doctor level can enjoy the privilege of seven hectares (700 acres) of land and corresponding residential residence.

I thought that my military merits would allow me to be promoted to an official rank, but I didn't expect that the joy in my heart would be so direct and crazy to the point of being almost infatuated! It turned out that my attention to these spoils was actually more about the value of the land and homesteads behind them! At this moment, the captives seemed to no longer exist as a living being, but just a symbol of land and home.

After tying up the captive with laughter, Li Shang suddenly looked up at Ren Xiong and asked, "Sir, County Commandant, what is your rank?"

In response to this question, Li Shang received a resounding response. "In my opinion, my power has reached the level of the second-level left and right!"

Li Shang, who was already full of envy, felt even more ashamed after hearing this answer, and thought, "It would be great if I could also have such a noble rank."

The onlookers praised their feat, but Li Shang was already in deep thought. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the blueprint for his future after being rewarded, and felt an unprecedented power motivating him to move forward towards that glorious goal.

The army had finished counting the number of beheadings and reported the results to Ren Xiong and everyone present.

"No one in our battalion was killed. Six were injured in this operation, and four had broken arms!"

"In total, we have captured more than 200 beheaded leaders and more than 100 people. More than 130 people were seriously injured!"

After learning about the situation, Ren Xiong nodded in approval and decided: "For the seriously injured and sick, the sentence will be immediately executed and they will be displayed under the tree poles on the roadside; the prisoners will have their scores recorded and will be escorted back to the city."

Upon hearing the order, the troop commander clasped his fists, bowed, and quickly left the scene.

Soon, with a thunderous cheer, waves of exciting voices came from the team. This enthusiasm came like a heat wave. Before this, whether from the statistics of military exploits or casualties, it can be seen that this is a feat of victory; even for those soldiers or chariot drivers who failed to cut off the enemy's head, they can still get the preferential treatment of a promotion reward; and for those who performed outstandingly on the battlefield and cut off the enemy's head, they will receive additional rewards on the original basis as a consolation and commendation.

This military merit system obviously has the characteristics of strengthening the social hierarchy and ensuring its stable circulation. In essence, in addition to personal status and reputation, the rank of the title is also closely related to the family's property status. For example, under the constraints of the title, an individual has the right to choose to return a certain number of titles to the family slaves to become free people or redeem his wife to restore her original legal status.

Although the emergence of this system made some members of the nobility feel indignant and even angry, its practice and promotion is undoubtedly a way to contribute to the overall stability of the country and the construction of social order. Although some injustices may occur in the specific operation process, leading to the accumulation of dissatisfaction, its overall effect has made a huge contribution to maintaining the long-term stability of the national power system.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were extremely strict. Once the people accidentally broke the law, they might be punished with a small fine or beard cutting. In more serious cases, they might be subjected to tattooing, forced labor or torture. The construction of the Mausoleum of Mount Li was mostly carried out by prisoners who were sentenced to city punishment or pounding rice, or who were forced to do labor because they could not afford the fine. Most of them only had three or four years left after entering the execution ground.

According to historical records, the Book of Lord Shang once put forward the view that "when the people learn that the battle has broken out, they will cheer and jump for joy. Every day of their lives, whether they are eating or resting, they are singing songs about the battle." This is like a hungry wolf seeing delicious food, eagerly and greedily pursuing battles and power. After about an hour, the remnants of the battle have been cleared. Several headless human bodies were hung on the big trees on both sides of the road to demonstrate power and deter the Yue tribes in the jungle that were free from the jurisdiction of Qin. Between the soldiers holding long spears was a row of Yue captives tied together with straw ropes. They had a horrible look on their faces and blood still dripping from their heads, symbolizing the message of violence and fear. According to the regulations of the Qin Dynasty, within three days after the end of each war, the heads of the enemy leaders must be publicly displayed. This is called "exposing the head" and "verification". After everyone has no doubts about it, the number of enemies killed will be reported back to the county where the soldiers are registered to determine the level of merit and give rewards, and it is required to be completed within three days. Ziying was not used to these bloody scenes. He recalled the in-depth conversation with Fusu, in which Fusu mentioned that the barbarians were like wild beasts, afraid of force but not kind. Although he was not completely convinced at the time, he gradually understood what Fusu meant.
