From Chief to Ball

"The guidance of our ancestors allowed us to live a good life. We Xiacheng people are specially favored by our ancestors, like the youngest son in a family who is most loved by our parents. We used to be weak, we lived in caves and ate grass roots, then We need to take care of it."

"Now that we have grown up, although we are still young sons, this cannot be changed, but we can hold spears and shoot bows and arrows. When someone tramples on the dignity of our ancestors, what should we, the youngest sons, tell those Brothers, when we grow up, we can also protect the land of our ancestors!"

"Some people say that Windy City is far away from us, and it has nothing to do with us. We are still safe now."

"But let me tell you, this is not only related to us, but also closely related to us. Why did those people attack Fengcheng? Because they are our relatives, because they are not Dongyi people."

"It has nothing to do with us if we hit Fengcheng, so we won't fight; if we hit Sucheng, it has nothing to do with us, so we still won't fight; when they hit Xiacheng one day, who will stand up and fight for us? ? Those people plundered our relatives, and perhaps will plunder us in the future, in order to become slaves."

"Are you willing to be slaves? Think about the slaves who worked in the Xiacheng Copper Mine. Are you willing to be that kind of people?"

"If you don't want to, you have to make preparations in advance. Just like the east house is on fire and the wind blows westward, do you think you can stop fighting the fire if you are in the west?"

"People of Xiacheng, we are the descendants of our ancestors first, then one of the Dahe tribes, and finally the people of Xiacheng. If your mother and your brothers are bullied, what will you do?"

Everyone in the assembly screamed: "Call back! Let those people go back to their own land!"

Chen Jian squeezed his hands. Now that he has eaten chicken blood, he should say something more practical.

"If you ask me, we are not fighting for the people of Fengcheng, but for ourselves. The ambitions of the Dongyi people are huge. They will one day want to fight us. They will take away one of our relatives to be slaves. They If we are stronger, we will be more vulnerable, and more people will die in the future."

"Furthermore, since the Dongyi people can take away our relatives as slaves, can't we take away their clansmen? You know, whether it is a charity decree or other decrees, it is only for relatives of the same ancestor."

"Those plundered slaves belong to the public property, but who owns the public property? Doesn't it belong to every Xiacheng countryman? Isn't everything you get every year because of your status as a countryman all from the public property? Indeed, these The slaves are not in your hands, but do you want the slaves or the things produced by the slaves? I think I don’t need to talk about this issue anymore, right?”

"Since you are a Chinese, and since you enjoy everything that a Chinese deserves, you should contribute to the public property and the city. Otherwise, those who fight hard will think, why should we distribute the public property that we worked so hard to get? You? Are you right?"

It is easier to convince Chinese people. Every reason is reasonable and there is no deceit. White propaganda.

The people below were cheering, but there were some immature voices mixed in with the cheers. The young relatives in several cities, probably because of their young age, their blood had not yet cooled down, and they shouted: "Jixia, we Go too! You are right, this is not just about Xiacheng, but about the entire Dahe clan."

Chen Jian laughed and said, "You? You are still young, do you know how to fight?"

The children retorted: "We have also drawn bows and arrows since we were young. How can we be as fragile as Jixia said? Besides, we also learned to ride horses and carts this year. What can't we go? Besides, we still have our own city. Heiyiwei, they can also follow us to drive away the Dongyi people!"

Chen Jian shook his head and said, "Children, I am not qualified to take them there, otherwise I would have violated my original oath. I am the leader of Xiacheng, but your people are not the black guards of Xiacheng."

This is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Those few people and children frowned, knowing that if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. The blood that has just been incited is stuffy in the heart, and it seems that the chest is about to explode.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ezhen Weixi and others who had been instigated by Chen Jian all of a sudden pulled out a banner from their arms and shouted: "This is not about a city, it's about all the big rivers." Ministry. We are not going as someone’s son, or clansman of any city, we are going in the name of the descendants of the ancestors of the Dahe tribes, and no one has the right to stop it!”

The children looked back and saw a flag, the one they were familiar with being associated with Mr. Drunk.

A banner called a dragon, which is a fusion of various clans, is like a big river, winding and fearsome.

While the flag was waving, those bloods that were suppressed in their hearts and couldn't be released instantly found an excuse. Those hot and young hearts shouted, looked up at the flag together, and roared endlessly.

Chapter 14 Give up

The enthusiasm of young people is naturally mixed with the panic of some old people. They are exactly the opposite of what Chen Jian said.

They are the sons of the city chief first, then the relatives of the city, and finally the descendants of the vague common ancestor of the Dahe tribes.

But in the face of the carnival scene, they couldn't say anything, and even had to squeeze out a smile and stand under the banner.

Many people remembered what happened at this moment, and they were going to send someone back to tell their father immediately, it was terrible.

While they were thinking about this, Yucheng had already begun to sit and prepare for the war.

Those young people who were dazzled by fanaticism held banners and brought their childish speeches to persuade those clansmen who were training in Yucheng.

Those high-level officials in Xiacheng who were tempted by the interests began to fully support Yucheng's war system and prepare logistical supplies.

Those Chinese who were persuaded and encouraged by Chen Jian began to receive weapons, gathered in groups of five according to the usual training, and began to prepare some self-provided food.

Four hundred black-clothed soldiers from Xiacheng, six hundred selected Xiacheng people, five hundred black-clothed soldiers from other cities, and more than 60 relatives and noble children from each city.

These full-time soldiers and military aristocrats have strong combat effectiveness. They can control chariots to attack and form formations to disperse the opponent's line, but they still lack the most important part: the phalanx soldiers responsible for maintaining the front line.

There are a large number of phalanx Chinese soldiers in the Caohe tribes, but neither Chen Jian nor E Yueweihe can let them come to Yucheng to participate in these things.

It is impossible to defeat those Dongyi people with only 500 people, so everyone's eyes are fixed on those highly disciplined workshop workers who can already advance and retreat with the sound of drums.

Without these workshops as fronts, these shock units are meaningless.If they fall out with the workshop workers, they can maintain their shock advantage, but they cannot lack these trained spearmen and archers when facing an army duel.

That group of workshop workers is a group of headaches for these people. They are extremely resistant, and some people secretly organize a group. They dare to resist and dare to kill, but they work quickly and are well organized. For the time being, it is impossible. Alternative, because there is not that much population.

Because of their cooperation in the workshop on weekdays, they are very united, and their discipline is naturally higher than that of clan members. As phalanx soldiers, they can accomplish what they want to do very well.

These people believe that if Yucheng is attacked, this group of workshop workers will fight those enemies at all costs to ensure their identity. After all, this group of people was never afraid of death in order to escape. These are tens of thousands of slaves. The most tenacious group of people selected by nature.

Faced with such a headache, those young relatives who have been dazzled by their blood think that only a few words will make these people cry and fight for their ancestors.

So they came to the place where the workshop workers rested together with Chen Jian.

The batch of workers who went to work at night had already been handed over at the smelting furnace. When Chen Jian left, many people stared at him quietly. Obviously, they had heard about the siege of Fengcheng by the Dongyi people, and guessed the purpose of Chen Jian's visit.

Ye was about to go to the school to listen to someone's teaching, when Chen Jian stopped him and said, "I'll go later and discuss something with you."

He didn't say anything, and took Chen Jian to find the leaders who were selected during the training.

After sitting around, without waiting for Chen Jian to speak, several relatives and noble children said: "You have also heard about the siege of Fengcheng. Your relatives are harmonious as a whole. They all have the same ancestors. You should follow the army out of Yucheng."

He asked disdainfully: "Common ancestors? They didn't say these things when they took us as slaves. There are also Dongyi slaves there. Is there any difference between us and those slaves? Can we do less? Or eat Better than those Dongyi slaves? Your parents were our masters, did your parents consider such a thing at that time?"

"When you were a slave, no one talked about common ancestors. Now it's a war?"

Several people felt very angry, and their faces were flushed.These people were slaves a few years ago, how dare they talk to themselves like this?Now that they have become human beings, they can sit around and talk to themselves on an equal footing, which makes their accumulated resentment explode.

One person said angrily: "What are you talking about? Your parents gave birth to you, and you were born a slave. Do you want to remember and hate your parents? You and I are the same ancestors. You should respect them instead of saying Such words are not as good as pigs and dogs.”

Hehe laughed and said: "If pigs and dogs are inferior, don't tell me. Don't you always say that you can only have perseverance if you have constant production? People like us are as cheap as stones. How can we compare with you Hearts are as precious as gold? If we had the morality you want, why did we resist? We should have shed tears and snot with gratitude for Jixia's acceptance, tsk tsk, but unfortunately we are sluts, and we don't have what you want Morality."

"What you want is nothing more than... let us be slaves on weekdays, and then fight to the death and fight to the death, protect everything you enjoy, and continue to be slaves honestly after the war. Unfortunately... we have had enough slaves. "

A few words left those young people speechless, blushed, and gritted their teeth: "That means you are in Yucheng, and you are already dead in our city!"

Sigh tore off his shirt, staring at a young man in the city, he recognized him.

After getting close, the majestic body frightened those young people who hadn't grown up yet.He pointed to the scar on his shoulder and said, "Dead? Ha, you really wanted to kill me back then, but I ran away. It's not that you didn't want to kill me, it's that you couldn't kill me!"

He turned his head to look at Chen Jian and said, "Ji Xia, is this the reason you want me to send troops? Look, they still think we can die at will, and then let us fight for such people? The fights are just for them to fight. Kill us casually?"

The young man said angrily, "What did you say?"

He stretched out his fist and was about to hit him, Chen Jian coughed, Ji Bai came out and pulled the man away, and those relatives and children also left dejectedly, leaving only Chen Jian.

"I think you should know, even if you want to be a citizen of the country, do you have to pay something for this city? If you fight bravely, it may be easier to become a citizen of the country."
