Qin Official

In the 32nd year of the First Emperor of Qin, on the second day of April, a major event happened in Di County, Linzi County.

Tian Dan, the largest powerful man in the county, kidnapped one of his slaves and brought him to the county temple. He said that the slave disrespected his master and wanted to escape quietly. He asked the government to allow Tian to kill him...

According to Qin law, the master must go through legal procedures to torture or execute his slaves, that is, he must provide reasons and submit them to the government for approval and execution, which is called "killing". Otherwise, it will constitute the crime of "killing without permission" or "punishing without permission", and one must bear corresponding responsibilities.

Most of the Qi land scorned this. Slaves were private property. To them, they were no different from dogs and horses. This was the rule in the six kingdoms of Yin, Zhou, Spring and Autumn. If you kill your own dog or horse, do you need to report it to others? Then why does killing a slave require the approval of the government?

Therefore, not many people in the fields of Qi abide by this order. They punish as they please and kill as they please. In the government, it is difficult for the Qin officials who came by air to control the place. They don't even have the manpower to maintain basic public order, so how can they take care of it? Why don't you go to the home of local snakes?

However, in the past few years, in order to show that they obeyed the rule of Qin officials, Tian Dan's family would first meet with the county magistrate and county magistrate whenever they wanted to execute a slave, so as to give the chief officials face.

Therefore, the conscientious Magistrate Di did not have any doubts and met Tian Dan in the hall as usual.

But this time, when the county magistrate and county magistrate were dealing with the "interview and killing", they were not prepared for the sudden rise of several young people brought by Tian Dan! He took out the dagger hidden in his arms and forced the Qin official.

During the whole process, the county soldiers recruited locally looked on dumbfounded. For a moment, the township party and the superiors did not know who to help.

The Xie Zhi crown rolled to the ground, and blood flowed in the hall of the law. Tian Dan stepped forward in person and cut off the heads of the county magistrate and county magistrate!

"Dong dong dong!"

After a while, the bells ringing in Tian Dan's house became a signal for action. The long-standing rangers set out en masse. Dozens and hundreds of them gathered from the alleys in Tian Dan's house and hid bundles in the cellar. The weapons inside were distributed to them by the disciples.

After getting the weapons, the young knights, together with the Tian family's disciples, walked through the streets and markets and went to the county temple together. Under the leadership of Tian Dan, there was a fierce battle with the county captain.

Although the county captain, the only remaining official among the three officials, wanted to kill the thieves, it was a pity that there were too few people under his command. In the entire Di County, except for more than a dozen officials in the county temple, they are all minor local officials. Even the county soldiers were recruited on the spot, and they have long been infiltrated by the farmers. When the incident happened, he either chose to rebel or choose to sit on the sidelines. The county lieutenant could not hold on for even an hour before his head was cut off and hung neatly on the top of the city together with the county magistrate and county magistrate...

A building without foundation is fragile, and so is a rule without a mass base. Within half a day, Di County fell, and all the Qin officials were killed, and their corpses were hacked to pieces. There were also those locals who "helped the tyrants" and "helped the tigers" were brutally retaliated against. The men were killed, and their wives and daughters became the trophies for the light knights to vent their anger.

Just when ordinary people in Guizhou closed their doors and were terrified by this incident, another team of thousands of people arrived from Qiancheng County next door. However, it was Tian Rong who went there to cause trouble and had already welcomed Tian Heng and others who had landed. Tiandu and four thousand pirates also captured Qiancheng County and came to join Tiandan.

The brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally they have endless things to say when they get together.

For Tian Heng, this is the return of a wanderer who has been delayed for many years. For Tian Du, this is revenge for the father of the family. For four thousand "bandits", this is the last chance to survive and regain their old lives.

But for Tian Dan and Tian Rong, this time the incident was imminent and had to be carried out. The latest news they received was that after Jiaodong, Jibei County and Langya County were also planning to clean up Zhutian. Emperor Qin Shihuang seemed to believe that the assassination in Langya Junan was inseparable from Zhutian. !

The current situation is that if you do something big, you may live, but if you wait in vain, you will die!

Therefore, the Tian brothers came back with Tian Heng and hurriedly launched an attack. Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty's rule in Di County and Qiancheng was too weak, so they cooperated internally and externally, and they took over easily.

Tian Rong was a little arrogant, but Tian Dan shook his head and said that this was just the beginning, and the thousands of troops garrisoned in Linzi would be their next biggest enemy.

Later, the three Tian brothers gathered the eldest sons in Di County and announced:

"Qi was the country that founded the country in ancient times. However, the king Jian lost the country, and the Qin people were cruel and starved to death among the pines and cypresses. It was really a shame and a shame! Qin officials killed innocent people indiscriminately, punished the powerful families, and treated the fields harshly. The people of Qi have suffered from Qin for a long time! Now that the First Emperor of Qin has died, Qi should also be restored."

Since the slogan is to restore the national flag, of course a leader must be elected. Although Tian Dan was the mastermind of this incident, he knew that his three brothers were young and could win the hearts of the light warrior pirates, but the vast Zhutian family might not necessarily buy it.

If you want to reunite, you can't just rely on the enthusiasm of a few thousand people. You have to involve all the fields, and with the strength of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, you have a chance of winning.

After some discussion, Sitian pushed Qi Wangjian's younger brother, Gongzi Tian, ​​who was hiding in Qiancheng County, to come out, hoping to respect him as king and give orders to all directions...

…

Young Master Tianjia is the youngest son of King Xiang of Qi and the younger brother of King Jian of Qi. He is over fifty years old this year. After enjoying most of his life, his wife and children were separated after the fall of Qi.

King Jian of Qi starved to death, which frightened Tianjia, so he hid in Qi incognito, not daring to be found by Qin officials. After several years of hard life, he no longer had the aristocratic aura of his old days in bright clothes and angry horses, and his bloated and burly figure had also lost weight. No wonder the government could not recognize him when people were searching for him.

According to Tian Rong, this timid young master did not dare to rebel against Qin at all after hearing Qin Shihuang's oral instructions. When Tian Heng attacked Qiancheng County, Tian Jiu was hiding in the house and shivering. They dragged him out from behind the bed.

Although Young Master Tianjia was taken hostage to Di County and saw the two counties changing hands, he still sat with a frown on his face and murmured: "Back then, Brother Wang was sitting on a 2,000-mile-long army with hundreds of thousands of people. I dare not fight against Qin, let alone today? Crazy, really crazy."

When Tian Dan and others came over holding the robes and crowns of King Qi that had been prepared long ago and explained their intention, they were so frightened that Tian Jia trembled all over, his eyes were weak and his face was pale.

He shook his head repeatedly and said: "The King of Qi, even the Tian family can do it. Your brother is such a talented person, why should you look for me?"

The Tian brothers took turns to persuade him to "put Qi's clan first", but Tian Jia still shook his head like a rattle and even started to act stupid.

He was not optimistic about this incident at all. He only thought that it would be a dead end. If he let go, he would become the main culprit. He would never escape the punishment of being torn apart by a car afterwards. He just waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't harm me, don't harm me."

In the end, Tian Rong was annoyed. He slapped his crown on the case, pointed at Tian Jia's nose and cursed: "Sir, you can't get away anymore. You have to do it whether you do it or not!"

Tian Heng also had a fierce look on his face. He held a robe in one hand and a sharp blade in the other. He held Tian Jia's chest and said: "Whether you want to be the King of Qi or a dead young master, choose!"

Tian Jia had no choice but to tremble and agreed, so he was put into the car and headed to the county temple. But along the way, no matter how loud the knights and bandits beside him cheered, he stopped making a sound and was just like a puppet. Sitting still.

After arriving at the place, he was crowded to the throne and watched helplessly as his "Prime Minister" Tian Dan drafted a petition to please Qin, recruited Qi people to join them, raised troops together, and drove the Qin invaders out of their homes. The clerk pushed the big seal over again and asked Tianjia to stamp it.

This seal was also temporary and a little rough. Tian Jia sighed and hesitated for a long time before he raised the light seal and stamped it on the message...

Finally, looking at the bright red "Seal of the King of Qi" and the four familiar yet unfamiliar Qi seals on the calligraphy, he felt sad again and said with a mournful face:

"Wait, you are hurting me!"

…

The incident that occurred in the northwest of Qidi quickly spread to the neighboring Jiaodong County like thunder...

Five days later, Chen Ping, the chief strategist of the county governor, hurriedly walked into the Jiaodong county governor's mansion with a letter in his hand. However, there was no trace of panic on his face, but instead he was full of excitement!

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Ping took off his shoes, walked forward, and bowed his head five steps away:

"Congratulations, Lord! Congratulations, Lord!"

"It's Chen Ping, where does the joy come from?"

Heifu raised his head from the papers. His biggest joy in the past few months was that his wife gave birth to a boy again. Fubo's name was not in vain.

Chen Ping stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Cao Shen is right. The pirates really took the risk and attacked Linzi County. Now Qiancheng County has been conquered. The Tian Dan brothers in Di County also took the opportunity to cause trouble and supported the young master Tian Ji. The fish that slipped through the net was the King of Qi, and he openly raised the banner of anti-Qin! "

"What I'm afraid of is that the other generation won't show up. In this way, not only can the commander-in-chief be able to overcome the evil waves in the East China Sea, but he can also make great contributions to quelling chaos and relieving danger! Isn't it a happy event?"
