From Chief to Ball

He thought about it in his mind, if Ji Xia is really the kind of person who really wants to unite the clans and not be able to dispute, and really teaches this method of training soldiers, if there are three thousand soldiers like this in his city, no city will be able to resist it. .

What's even more frightening is that with gunpowder, I can capture a city within two months, instead of besieging the city for a long time as before and causing the enemy's allies to come. It is ultimately a decisive battle in the field that determines the survival of the city. The number of people can be smaller, and the battle can be ended faster to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Three thousand! Three thousand! Give me three thousand soldiers like this, everything is enough!"

The anticipation was raging in his heart, but he didn't know how much Chen Jian spent to train these soldiers, not to mention three thousand, even one thousand, Xia Cheng couldn't bear it and went bankrupt.

Originally, he didn't care about Chen Jian's talk about teaching everyone, but now he couldn't help asking: "You are traveling with Ji Xia, but did you hear him talk about helping your relatives train in the future?"

"I said it, and Su Tang also asked. Jixia said that he has already started to build a city in Onozawa, and maybe there will be a prototype in winter. At that time, the relatives in each city will send young relatives and nobles with the surname smart to learn from it. , small success in three years, after returning home, spread it to ten, ten to a hundred, so that all relatives can have such soldiers within ten years. Gunpowder workshops and the like will also be established in Onozawa, as long as all relatives keep their oaths, they can exchange them at will It will also teach the various clans how to use it, and even help them train soldiers who throw gunpowder, but the daily food and clothing must be paid by each clan itself.”

Su Yue nodded again and again: "Of course I have to do it myself, not only do I do it myself, but I also want to thank Ji Xia a little more. Did he really say that?"

"Yes, that's right, Su Tang also said that he would go too at that time."

Su Yue hummed, already thinking about it in his heart, these things are said to be the secrets of the clan leaders, they will only be passed on to their children and will never be revealed to outsiders.Chen Jian felt that he couldn't see through it, and he had persuaded him not to pass these things on to the laborers. At that time, he only regarded Chen Jian as a child, and he didn't understand the reason.

But now when Chen Jian seized the opportunity to interfere in other cities, Su Yue knew that he was thinking too little. He couldn't figure out why Chen Jian would spread these things, but Su Cheng would not miss this opportunity.

Once the city of Onozawa is established, the new army training method Sucheng will definitely send people there, but when sending people, it is impossible to be ordinary people, but to select young people from your own family to support your own young people. people, relatives in the city, and children of wealthy families.

These young people will become new military aristocrats in the future, monopolizing the methods of training soldiers, and no one will teach them publicly when Chen Jian gets old, so that they will last forever.

And while Chen Jian is still talking, he must exchange a lot of gunpowder, the more the better.He felt that Chen Jian was not as naive as he thought before, so people who didn't have to think about how to configure gunpowder would never know.

Once there is a war with Xiacheng in the future, the source of gunpowder will be cut off at that time. I have nothing to threaten Xiacheng now, so I can only prepare in advance.

In a short while, he had drawn up a few candidates to study in Onozawa. They were basically young people in the family. These people would form the cornerstone of Su Tang's side in the future. If you use a method like this, then your son's position will be completely stabilized.

Even, it can be used as an exchange of benefits to ensure that the goal that Chen Jian discussed with himself before going out to make the alliance worthy of the name and the leader of the alliance worthy of the name!

Thinking of this, he said excitedly: "Go out immediately and announce the news loudly, saying that Jixia took only 100 people and captured the city! The gunpowder blowing up the city and the army formation that you saw, Tell them all, and immediately go and tell the clan leaders who are already waiting in the city! Quick! Quick!"

When one soldier got up, another soldier said seriously: "Chief, Su Tang has something to tell you. I said that this is the most important thing, and only you can hear it."

Su Yue was taken aback, knowing that although his son was young, he knew the importance, so he waved his hand to let the soldier go out first, and dismissed the servants in the house.

Chapter 72 Su Xia Limited Sovereignty System ([-])

The soldier who left first didn't know what only the leader should know, and he didn't want to inquire about it. A few days after the news was delivered, the leader issued a strange order.

Many slaves in Sucheng were forced to cut down and burn all the trees within three miles outside the city, and then dug water canals outside the city wall. The originally flat land outside the city was piled up with many large stones, leaving only the roads around the city gates. .

The outside of the city gate was also reinforced, and an outer city was built to surround the city gate. The walls near the city gate also began to pile up earthwork, and some places protruding like dog teeth seemed to be convenient for attacking those who were close to the city wall from the side. possible enemies.

It seems that overnight, the city that was originally extremely strong and run by generations has been in jeopardy. The soldiers looked at this change and thought carelessly: "If that city is also like this, the gunpowder of the Xiacheng people will not be so easy. The city gate was blown open. These rocks prevented the shield vehicles from advancing, and the protruding city walls could attack them from the side. Even if the small city surrounding the city gate was blown open, they would not directly attack the city. However, the Dongyi people did not have gunpowder. Why did the leader build these things?"

There was confusion in his heart, but it didn't affect him to do what he should do. For six or seven days, the people of Sucheng watched the canal run through the rocky ground, but they didn't make this matter the first thing to talk about on weekdays, because there was another thing Something more legendary and more celebrated.

"Ji Xia captured a city with more than 100 people!"

That city may not be as strong as Sucheng, and the people there may not be as brave as Sucheng, but it is a city after all, not a village surrounded by wooden fences!

Many people in Sucheng went out with the leader and besieged the city. Facing the threat of the city wall, everyone was helpless and had no choice but to besiege.

Because I have experienced it, I understand the legend of this news. This matter is discussed everywhere in the streets, lanes, fields, and rivers. It is a bit natural in surprise: There are many stories about Xiacheng people, and I have heard many stories. Now This kind of thing happened to Xiacheng people. Although I was shocked, it was not unacceptable.

The stories Chen Jian had told people before, the dramas he acted in, and the legends he told, finally had the fruit of harvest for the first time. Intertwined with this incident, many things in Xiacheng that they did not agree with became Doubt: Was it the Xiacheng people who were wrong?Or is it wrong?I used to hear people say that 100 people captured the city, but I absolutely didn't believe it, but now this is happening right in front of my eyes... Perhaps, what the people of Xiacheng said that I thought was wrong was actually right?

Through this incident, many things that Chen Jian said that were regarded as jokes were recalled by others. They thought and discussed together with this incident, and finally someone asked if it was true, then why?

However, the Xiacheng people were still on their way back, and no one could answer them.

Different from the excitement of the Chinese people, the leaders who came to Sucheng became a bit vigilant after knowing this. Su Yue seemed to be promoting Chen Jian's reputation, but in fact he was deliberately creating this kind of temptation. vigilant attitude.

The reason they were invited was that the leader of that city made a big mistake. According to the past practice, people in each city always need to discuss it, and then several cities that are close to Sucheng will send troops to conquer together, but this Once they didn't expect that the time would end so quickly before they got the news.

With a lot of anxiety, several leaders went to visit Suyue together. After sitting down, someone couldn't wait to ask: "Chief Suyue, are those rumors true? Ji Xia really took only a hundred people and captured the city ?”

Su Yue nodded and said: "It's true, it's definitely not rumors, they are on their way back now. Hey... I intended to ask Jixia to question that person, but I didn't want that person to kill his own people to create a blood feud, in vain attempt to settle in Jixia's place." On Xia. Ji Xia, you also know that there is no room for this. Since the other party did not open the city gate to discuss, and shot Ji Xia with a bow, he had no choice but to use gunpowder to open the city gate and rush in. I asked Tang to take it. Two hundred warriors accompanied him, but when they rushed to kill, Ji Xia had already captured the man alive. After entering the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and everyone in the city was filled with joy, this is really the protection of the ancestors."

Several leaders looked at each other, and there was a turmoil in their hearts. Hundreds of people broke through the city. Could it be that Xiacheng's soldiers are really so brave?

Su Yue sighed and said, "When I found out about this, I was no less surprised than you. I also never thought that the Xiacheng people were so brave. Fortunately, Jixia respected their ancestors, and was not like those people when they met last year. , what's more, the ancestors protected him and he is not a barbarian, otherwise... otherwise, we may not be able to preserve the resting place of our ancestors."

Looking around, these leaders who came first were all cities under his control near Sucheng, which can be regarded as the basic core of this alliance, so they got up and asked people to leave, leaving only these few leaders.

"Ji Xia is a person I can trust. He respects his ancestors, keeps his promises, and does not hide his secrets. His reputation is just. Even if Xia Cheng is brave, it is the strength of his family. No one will dislike his brave brother. You don't have to be afraid. .”

"It's just that people have birth, old age, sickness and death, and misfortune and fortune depend on each other. What Jixia did to steal the way of heaven, I'm afraid... One day Jixia dies of illness, if Xiacheng elects an ambitious leader, even if Xiacheng has few people and far away, You also know about this battle, with the gunpowder bombing the city, it is no longer the time to conquer a city for months and years, and when the time comes to go east along the big river, I am afraid that our clan will all be reduced to slaves."

A few people still didn't understand what Su Yue meant, but the threat Su Yue said became close at hand after the rumors that a hundred people broke the city deliberately. Although Ji Xia had an oath with everyone, could the oath be indestructible? ?

Su Yue hesitated yesterday, should he take this opportunity to tear himself apart with Chen Jian? Even though Xiacheng soldiers are brave, there are not many people around Onozawa, and the structure of Xiacheng is different from other cities. The clan that came out of the mountain will be dispersed, and those who are in power are all relatives of Chen Jian. Chen Jian has a general overview of power. Once he is killed, the entire Xia City will collapse.

But thinking of all the futures that Chen Jian had laid out for him, he couldn't bear it. Thinking of Chen Jian's ability to train relatives and nobles in various cities without hiding anything, and teach how to use gunpowder, he could do what Hua had never done before. What happened, the prestige should be like the sun and the moon, no one can shake it. Although Xiacheng is strong, but the distance is far away, these achievements are definitely not something that Xiacheng people can do.

To kill Chen Jian, you don't need gunpowder and military training. If you want to accomplish that kind of feat, it may take more than a hundred years. Su Yue knows that he can't live for that long, so the thought of smothering the bud with a deadly net is just a flash and then disappears. .

But he had to take precautions in advance, so this time he summoned his closest allies to say such words for this purpose.

When everyone was looking at him, Su Yue sighed and said: "People in Xiacheng often say that if the lips have no teeth, it will be cold, and they also say that if a seemingly solid house is dismantled, the wood, firewood, grass, and mud will be left alone. When it is taken apart, it is the house, and when it is taken apart, it is just each individual.”

"Xiacheng is like a dog. It can hunt birds and beasts, but it can also devour people. Everyone respects what Jixia has done now, but once Xiacheng is no longer like this Xiacheng, and she abandons her ancestors and invades her relatives, Even though they are brave, I hope you all will fight together, otherwise your descendants will be slaves!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a bronze short sword given to him by Chen Jian, cut his finger and dripped blood into the Weng holding wine, and said loudly: "For the sake of not being slaves for your descendants, I ask you to swear that if Xia If the city betrays its ancestors and invades its relatives, all of you will fight against it!"

The few people were most worried about this matter. They didn't care too much about Chen Jian's so-called blind date. Su Yue's words hit their hearts, and they took off the saber Chen Jian gave them and cut their fingers. The turbid wine was dyed red, and they drank each bowl, saying in unison: "This oath, if Xiacheng betrays, all cities will fight to destroy the city and destroy the clan. If there is any violation, the heavens and the earth will not tolerate it!"

Chapter 73 Su Xia Limited Sovereignty System ([-])

After drinking the blood, Su Yue said with a smile: "You all need to know that we can trust Jixia, this needs to be clear. But since Hua left, I have seen a lot of vicious and cruel people, so I have to be careful."

Everyone echoed: "Yeah, how could we be suspicious of Ji Xia? It's just to prevent people in Xia City from having such thoughts, just like the city in the east, who knew that the leader elected by the clan would be such a cruel person What? Since Jixia has gone to attack them, we are just worried that after Jixia goes, there will be such a thing in Xia City again."

Su Yue nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. It's precisely for this reason that I invite you here this time. I'm not the youngest or the oldest among you, but I also have children , even if you can still bend your bow and hold a spear at this time, there will always be a time to meet your ancestors in the future, what will the city do then?"

"Tigers give birth to tigers, and rats give birth to burrows. This is an unchangeable principle in the world. We are all smarter than those vulgar tribesmen, and we have no cruel and tyrannical intentions. The children we want to give birth to in the future are also intelligent and gentle. .”

"Besides the leader in the city, there must be someone to assist the leader to share the planting, breeding and battle in the city. It's like the offspring of a tiger have the tiger professor, and they will naturally learn how to prey; the offspring of the cat have the old cat professor , will naturally learn the skill of climbing trees. Let a rabbit who has never learned to hunt hunt, how can it do it?"

The eyes of several leaders lit up, they immediately understood what Su Yue was going to say, and what he said was so reasonable, they all praised them, and kept taking out the stories of heroes and heroes that happened around them as Su Yue's words. Yue's theory is supported by reality.

Su Yue smiled, and said again: "I came up with these words, but Ji Xia also gave me a lot of inspiration. We all have children. If these words are spread, some people will feel that Not good, breaking the rules. Ji Xia happens to have no heirs. If everyone thinks that he said the words, there will not be so many gossips, and there will be many more virtuous names that people admire and admire. After making great contributions, let's let him have such a reputation, which can be regarded as a little reward."

Several people nodded repeatedly and said, "If these words are spread, people will know that Jixia, who has no heirs, said it. Indeed, there will be no gossip. But Jixia's words are very reasonable and convincing. Thinking about those stupid people My clansmen will definitely understand and praise Ji Xia for being wise."

Su Yue said again: "When Ji Xia was in the eastern city, he said something, that only by having constant property can he not be tempted by small profits, and that he can be a just and unselfish person, because he owns land, and I don’t really care about land property. A person who can’t even eat enough to let him preside over the distribution of the city, he will definitely give himself more points. I think even if the mind is evil, those who have permanent property will also say that most of them Those who have less land."
