From Chief to Ball

When the news reached Yucheng, Chen Jian smiled helplessly for a long time, and then slapped his hands swollen with excitement.

The reason for the wry smile is that the blame for this crime has finally fallen on his own head. This battle is no longer a war for the hegemony of the nations, but a life-and-death war between two ideologies with no room for compromise.But once the battle is lost, not only will the entire ethnic group retreat, but what is even more frightening is that the Dongyi Group has become the prototype of a country, and the combined forces will completely defeat the chaotic Dahe tribes, a foreseeable slavery empire rise.

Excited because he was nearly [-] years old, and he was already considered a middle-aged man in this era, and he didn't have much time left for him to procrastinate, and a sudden illness might take his life away.Besides, after the war is over, we need to build. This is the most important thing.

Xia Guo's high-level meeting has already been held, and those accusations against himself have been used as combat propaganda intact, and the powerful public opinion machine is operating efficiently using the top-down system.

The mines called for digging an extra basket of coal and iron before the war started, the farms called for the registration of food for unified distribution, the propaganda team played up hatred among those who had been slaves, and the messengers sent pigeons or repaired simple paths to send Messages travel up the river.

In the past few years, the Xia Kingdom was originally a system for war preparations, and various plans had already been prepared. Each person was responsible for counting food and distributing spears.

Chen Jian brushed off his long beard, changed into his clothes, and came to the school.

The school was already in chaos, and the relatives and noble children of various clans were at a loss, especially the young people in some hostile cities, who were terrified. Soldiers had surrounded the school since the early morning, and no one was allowed to access.

They also got the news of Suyue's rebellion, they also learned about Chen Jian's crimes read out by Suyue, and they also knew that there were some Dongyi archers in Suyue's army.

This made these young people who lived a superior life, accepted the idea of ​​​​ethnic groups for several years, and opposed the enlightenment of the idea of ​​​​natural determinism of blood for a while.Although some people think about succession by blood, others are convinced of Chen Jian's idea of ​​evaluating sages as officials, and kinship as one and no longer going to war.

People always betray their ass.

When Chen Jian walked into the lecture hall, dozens of people stood up at the same time. They didn't ask any more questions, but called Mr. in unison.

Chen Jian pressed his hands, motioning for them all to kneel down.

"This may be the last lesson I will teach you. Tomorrow I will send you a boat to send you back to your parents."

"Maybe one day we will fight each other, or one day we will fight each other."

"But I think, no matter when, you and I will remember: there used to be Yucheng along the big river, and there was a school in the northeast of Yucheng. There was a gentleman and many disciples in the school."

"Many disciples and Mr. have drawn a banner with the surnames of you, me, and every tribe of the great river. It winds like a river, and its name is Dragon."

"Here, many disciples and my husband fantasized about planting this flag on the shore of the East China Sea and at the source of the great river. The writing is the same, the characters are the same, and the sound is the same. There will be no more fights between each other, and the brothers will enjoy each other happily. When Zhu Yi Di had no written language, cut off their legends, killed their priests, exterminated their culture, and let those newborn children worship our ancestors from birth, and there will be no more wars and killings.”

"Here, many disciples and master, from trying to make bricks to measuring and straightening to building, relying on their hands to build this school little by little on the barren open space. Here you know the big river for the first time The tribes are not invisible things, they are a group of thousands of people. It is you, it is me, and those who cultivate the fields and work in the workshops."

"Here, I taught you how to deceive, how to fool, how to instigate, how to oppress your clansmen as relatives. This is like teaching you how to kill, you can kill, and you can also know how others want to kill you How do you protect yourself?"

"I didn't say what is good and what is bad. I just told you how your parents deceived and fooled you. As for whether it is right or wrong, it is your own choice. Xia Guo took a different path. I have also taught you how to take this road, and I didn’t say whether it is good or bad, and it is also because you should make your own choices when you grow up.”

"I even believe that after you have learned all this, even if you are born with blood, you will be better than your parents, more secretive and more aware of the trade-offs. At least you will disguise yourself as the gentleman I said. "

"But what I want to do is to crush these gentlemen who are descended by blood. That's why your fathers and Xia Guo went to war. What I want to crush is the eternal blood, not a single person. , so there are more enemies to face than crushing a person."

"Some people will say, it's impossible, at least it's impossible now. I want to say, you are right, it's like the end is too far away, knowing that this generation will not reach the end, but some people just want to go a few steps forward [-] steps and [-] steps are both on the road, but they are different. At least in the country of Xia, at least some people have believed that relatives and noble priests are better off; Certainly."

"I thought about it, picked up a bowl of wine, and said some heroic words. For example, if I lose, don't forget the original agreement to let the flags of the rivers and tribes be planted on the shore of the East China Sea; for example, don't forget this friendship under the spear Whatever you want to hear."

"But I'm afraid that you really take yourselves too seriously, and really think of this war as a play between classmates and brothers in Yucheng Academy."

"I don't like this, because in the Xia Kingdom, you have no difference except for your blood. In my eyes, you are not even as good as a farmer who knows how to harvest after finishing the agricultural school; but in the world of your father's generation Among them, you are of course more noble than those peasants, so it is only natural that you can regard this war as a battle between brothers, until we meet each other in the future and laugh at each other to end our grievances."

"Okay, this is the end of this class. It may be the shortest class, or it may be the last class. Let's go, pack up, and a boat will send you downstream later."

Chen Jian clapped his hands, and two soldiers walked in with a bamboo basket.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Hand over the flags of the tribes of the Great River that were sent to you earlier. When I think of your fathers sworn friendship with the nobles of Yidi for Wannian, I feel sick for no reason. Wannian Once the kingdom of Xia is defeated in the future, you should hang the flags of your family, not the dragon flags of the tribes of Dahe, you are not worthy. In the end, if one day the people of the tribes of Dahe can no longer survive and rise up to resist, your fathers Hanging the banners of the tribes of Dahe, but inviting the leaders of Yi and Di to exterminate their relatives, it may not be impossible."

Listening to these harsh words, the young people looked at the faces of the two Xia soldiers who showed neither anger nor hatred but a touch of contempt, and they didn't know what to do.

After a long time, someone finally took out the flag and threw it into the soil basket. Someone started to throw more.

When the seventh page was received, a young man suddenly stood up, bit his finger and wrote something on the paper in front of him.

"Sir, I won't go back. Please give my letter to my father. I feel disgusted for him. I believe that there is no such thing as high and low, and I also believe that if my father does this, he will drag the city into ruin. Even if he wins So what? Thinking of kinsmen born to one mother hundreds of years ago as slaves? Watching them bluntly unable to ligature is like raising pigs and dogs?"

"Please, sir, let me pick up the spear and musket. After the war, I am willing to be an ordinary person from the tribes of Dahe, go to school to learn what I want to learn, and do what I can do well. If my father makes a mistake, Then it is up to my son to atone for his mistakes. This bloodline makes me feel only guilty, not proud."

"In the Kingdom of Xia, when people talk to each other, they can talk about how much land they have planted, how many meritorious deeds they have made, and how much copper and iron they have smelted. And what about me? The only thing that can be said is who is my father, who is my mother, and who is my grandfather? Who, my grandmother and which leader's grandmother are sisters."

"I have studied in school for seven years, and I feel more and more disgusted by such conversations. Please don't drive me away, sir. I have my own choice. Even if you have to send me back, I will still run back."

When these words were finished, three others also stood up and did the same thing, vowing to break with their father and hope to stay in Xiaguo.

They are not the first batch, five of the earlier students before them have stayed in Xia Kingdom, and they are only a minority, very few.

When these four people stood up, seven or eight people also stood up. They did not make such a decision, but hoped that Chen Jian would send a small boat to send them to Xinhua City.

"I know in my heart that my father is wrong, but I don't want to fight with my father. If the husband thinks our father is not worthy of holding the dragon flag, then please let us go to Xinhua City, where we will fight to the death with Qiongxi. Let us fight in our city The flag that fell in Yap will be raised there."

"If the husband wins, we are willing to come back and do something. If the husband loses, we will stay in Xinhua City and guard there until we die."

Chen Jian didn't say anything more, nodded and left, leaving a whole room of people staring at each other in embarrassment.

Soon after, all the people in Yucheng and the nearby hostile cities were brought to the river, and several ships were sent to send them away.

Those who remained were not incorporated into the army, but they were assigned to take care of some things within their capabilities, such as writing and counting.

The entire Xia Kingdom has already begun to mobilize, and the strength shown before is only a part of Xia Kingdom. When this group of people saw clearly the real power of Xia Kingdom, they realized what kind of terrifying state machine their parents had to face.

Chapter 132 The Final Battle ([-])

On the school grounds, all veterans who had served in the army were called back to the army, and a field force of more than 4000 people was assembled.

This is not counting the farmers who have received simple winter training and the workers in various workshops, who still need to produce and take on more tasks than ever before.

At the mobilization meeting before the war, Chen Jian just recited the punishment Su Yue had imposed on him, which aroused the roar of laughter from the soldiers.

"It seems that they are not only planning to regard you as inferior, but also make your descendants as inferior, forever."

"Be reasonable, and we will all speak. I will speak, the members of the publicity team will speak, and even you will speak."

"But today we don't need to talk with our mouths, let's use the roar of cannons, the lead bullets of muskets, and the sharpness of spears to reason with them!"

The soldiers all laughed, and someone shouted, "It's time to reason with them like this."

Chen Jian also laughed, waved his hands and said, "But having said that, it's not enough to be reasonable. If there is no iron, no guns, but only copper, how do you fight when you fight? There must be a group of people who don't have to work every day. People who practice chariots and the like charge forward, and you, you just farm the land in normal times, and you just follow the chariots and charge when you are fighting."

"Why can you be reasonable now? Because you have muskets and cannons, if you want to fight a war? You need a group of people to come out to get guns. Even if the opposite side is driving a car and dancing swords since childhood, five people and five muskets, he will die. From now on, only It is useless to rely on the nobles to practice since they were young to be able to recruit you as soldiers. If you have a gun, you have the right to speak. In the past, a noble blood could beat ten people with a pitchfork and a hoe without enough food. If you put on armor, you can fight Fifty, so reasoning with the fist they can be noble."

"In the past, you couldn't be reasonable. When you were hungry and wanted to eat, people wouldn't allow it, and they said you were cheap, and you thanked you for giving you leftovers. Anyway, you couldn't beat them. When fighting, those noble blood It's the main force."

"Now, you are the main force in the war. As for me, as your king, I have to think about it. It is enough for me to use you. Why do I need to raise some noble blood?"

"In the past, when we fought, those noble blood said that you must promise me something, otherwise I will not fight, then I have to agree, otherwise it is really impossible to fight with a group of pitchforks. But if you promise them, then you must to pluck out your flesh, for flesh did not fall from the sky."

"Now when we fight, even if there are still noble bloods today, if there is any request to goug out your flesh, I can only let them and your guns and cannons do it."
