Chapter 8 The Great Wall of Qin
Because she was always by Zhanbai's side, Xiao Na naturally learned a lot about the Qin State from Tian Ziling's mouth.
Tian Ziling has been going back and forth between Qi and Qin for many years, and although he is not proficient in his understanding of Qin, he also knows a lot of secrets that outsiders do not know, especially about the situation on the rivers and lakes of Qin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with the Chu State, the Jianghu forces of the Qin State are undoubtedly much stronger, and the environment of the Qin State makes the situation of holding together particularly prominent, otherwise, as long as the single figure wants to survive in the Qin State, which is extremely short of materials, it will be a very difficult thing.
The Qin people were good at swords, and they enshrined Shushan as a holy place for the founding of the country, which made the sword path prosperous and formed a very complete sword cultivation culture.
And this situation is undoubtedly very attractive to Zhanbai.
"The seventy-two sword gates of the Qin Kingdom, this Qin Jianlu ranks sixteenth, and it is the closest to us, so naturally we have to visit it first."
……
Among the three continents, there are nearly 100 super forces, and the largest number is 81.
Not all of the so-called eighty-one sects are sects, and there are also a small number of powerful gangs in them, such as the Qing Gang of Qi and so on. And among these eighty-one sects, nearly half of them are located in the Spring and Autumn Continent, and they are more or less related to the courts of various countries. Among them, especially the Qin State.
The Qin State itself was extremely short of materials, and the blockade and sanctions of the Qi State and the Mo family made it even worse. In this case, a big reason why the Qin State was able to compete with the powerful Qi State was to mention one person, and he was Shang Ying.
Speaking of Shang Ying, this disciple who also worshiped Guiguzi like Su Qin has achieved much more than Wu Qi, and even surpasses it. is also a change, Wu Qi gave Chu a short period of strength, while Shang Yang gave Qin a long time, so in comparison, it seems that Wu Qi is far better than Shang Ying, but this is not the case, just because Chu and Qin are in different environments.
Although the State of Chu has external troubles, the power of the Han State is twice as bad as that of the Qi State, not to mention that the State of Qin will also face the suppression of the Mo family, in this case, if the two are exchanged, Wu Qi may not be able to achieve the level of Shang Ying.
Wu Qizhi in the state of Chu is the icing on the cake. And Shang Ying, this is a charcoal in the snow. That's the difference between the two.
Since entering the Qin State, Shang Ying has not faced a day of great pressure, pressure from the State of Qi, and pressure from tens of thousands of people in the country who are waiting to be fed. The changes it implemented were all formulated according to the actual situation of the Qin State.
Facts have proved that Shang Ying's change was undoubtedly correct, and although it did not bring the Qin state to prosperity, it barely maintained its survival needs. And militarily, a law that all the people are soldiers has given Qin the capital to compete with Qi State.
All the people are in the army, which is the fundamental reason why the Qin State has been able to compete with the powerful Qi State for more than a hundred years without falling behind.
Without the Qin State, no one could understand what it meant for all the people to be soldiers. For ordinary people, they are soldiers in wartime, and farmers in non-war times. As far as the Jianghu Ranger is concerned, in the event of a war, no matter what you are doing, you must obey the order and throw yourself into the barracks like a duck. Even the nobles in the Qin State must join the army once the war rises to a certain stage, regardless of their status in the country.
The policy is brutal, but it is extremely practical.
There are six super sects in the territory of Qin, and the strongest is undoubtedly the Afang Palace, which is controlled by the Qin royal family. Then there are the Hengshan Sword Sect, the Wufu Sword Pavilion, the Zirui Sword Sect, the Xiafeng Palace, and the Gongyi Family.
The six super sects, except for the public loss family, are all sword cultivation sects. Every year, a large number of outstanding sword cultivation disciples were imported into the military camp for the Qin State to fill the vacancies left after the war.
Of course, the eighty-one sect is the name of the entire Ding San Continent, and in the Qin State, there is another ranking, that is, the seventy-two sword gates. There is an extremely detailed ranking in the Seventy-Two Sword Gates, and almost every five years, the whole country will conduct a sword competition, and the attribution and ranking of the Seventy-two Sword Gates will be sent out with results.
A glimpse of the whole leopard, it is not difficult to see how prosperous the martial style of the Qin State is.
……
As soon as you enter the Qin Kingdom, especially from the Qi Kingdom to the Qi Kingdom, the scenery changes so much that anyone who sees it will be quite surprised.
On the way to Huizhou, Zhanbai and the others could not see tall buildings or magnificent cities, but instead they were low and ugly huts, even if they were small towns, many of them did not even have city walls.
Along the way, the Qin people are generally shorter, and they are also covered with patches on their clothes, and they have vegetables on their faces. In stark contrast, the eyes of the common people do not show the slightest complaint and depression, and they exude a light full of hope.
In the fields, the people worked hard, and the unattended children gathered together in twos and threes, holding sticks and branches to make swords, hehehehaha
Naturally, the upper hand is infinitely proud, and even those who are beaten will rarely cry and cry, showing their unyielding will.
"This is the Qin State, the terrible Qin State." Zhanbai doesn't know how many times he has felt like this.
The barrenness of the land has created the tenacity of the Qin people, and if children are still like this, what about adults, and what about those who practice?
Thinking that it is very likely to play against such a country in the future, Zhanbai himself has a chilling feeling.
"Childe, after all, these are just ordinary people, even if they go to the battlefield, they are more just responsible for labor." It seemed that seeing Zhanbai's worries, Xiao Na couldn't help but comfort.
Indeed, there are no ordinary mortals on the battlefield of the Spring and Autumn Continent, otherwise, no matter how many people there are, they are just cannon fodder. But......
"Heritage, or potential, these ordinary people may not have much fighting power, but they can well support a country's war potential." Zhan Bai sighed with emotion, as if he didn't want to explain more, shook his head, and quickened his pace, walking through this piece of farmland without squinting, and didn't dare to look at it again from beginning to end.
After another day, the vague city of Huizhou finally came into view.
Huizhou can be regarded as an important town in Qin, both economically and militaryly, it is enough to rank among the top five, and because it is close to the border of Qi and Qin, there is a team of 10,000 elite soldiers stationed all year round. Strictly speaking, this is a military city, which bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the enemy after the Qi State invades the territory.
However, the scale of such an important town is far more humble than Zhanbai imagined, and when you look at it from the height, you can not even see two-story buildings in the whole city, and all the houses are located in a very messy manner, but they are made of hard stone.
If you really want to find the highlight of Huizhou, it may be the Great Wall of Qin that stretches infinitely to the east and on both sides.
The Great Wall of Qin, not to mention Huizhou, even the entire Qin State, is an unimaginably majestic building. It has no beginning, let alone an end, and forms a large circle across the entire land of Qin.
It is said that in history, the original land of the Qin State was all within the Great Wall of Qin. As for now, more of what Zhanbai is stepping on is captured after years of fighting.
"Is this the Great Wall of Qin? Sure enough, majestic. Under the comparison of the Great Wall of Qin, it is easy for people to ignore the existence of Huizhou, at least Xiao Na's eyes are deeply attracted.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Wall of Qin is a man-made moat, at least it is difficult for Zhanbai to imagine how many soldiers' lives it would cost to lead the troops to attack it by himself, so as to climb the behemoth that is dozens of feet high and all made of hard rocks. Each place can be called a dangerous place where one person can be closed.
"But I don't know if there is a Meng Jiangnu in this world, such a strong pass, I'm afraid only she can break it!" Zhan Bai sighed inexplicably.
