Every May, the wars between the countries basically ceased, and the government went all out to supervise agricultural affairs and settle all kinds of sudden disputes and private fights.

May in Qin was even more tense than in the East.

In practice, the Qin State still had a well-field system, with eight wells and one well, sharing canals and wells. Not only are there disputes and conflicts between the eight wells over land and water and the amount of labor to bear on the public land, but there are also often conflicts between wells over land and water, involving two wells and 16 wells, and large-scale armed fights often occur.

Moreover, the village clan system of the Qin State was still relatively intact, and whenever there was a conflict, the whole village would be dispatched, like a small war. But the most important thing is that the people are accustomed to private blood fights, and even take pride in them, and often fight because of small disputes.

Therefore, May in Qin has always been the busiest, most tense and chaotic time internally.

One of the purposes of choosing the first batch of decrees to be promulgated at the end of March and the beginning of April was to have a deterrent effect on the chaos of May.

With the new law, coupled with the newly appointed prefectural ordinance supporting the change of law, it should be more stable than in previous years. However, no one could have imagined that large-scale chaos and violent fighting would still occur, and that it would come so suddenly and violently.

What's even more shocking is that this large-scale private fight and vendetta happened precisely in the famous Yi County!

There is a castle on the north bank of Weishui in the Guanzhong Plain, which is the county seat of Yixian.

Yixian is more than 600 miles away from Liyang in the east and more than 300 miles away from Chencang in the west, and is the most fertile area in the west of the Weiping Plain, which is the most famous county in Qin.

However, the great name of Yixian County is not only because it is located in fertile soil, but also because of its geographical advantages, Yixian County is not as wide and flat as the eastern part of Guanzhong, and it is slightly inferior.

The prestige of Yixian County lies in the fact that it is the "hometown of famous generals" of the Qin State.

The three famous generals of the Qin Mugong era - Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing were all from Yixian. Although the descendants of the Mengxi and Bai clans live in the capital city of Liyang, the side branch families left in Yixian County have multiplied for more than 100 years and have also formed a huge force.

The three ethnic groups stand together, and almost half of Yi County is located. A large part of the rest of the population of Yixian County is the descendants of the Rongdi nobles of Longxi.

When Qin Mugong was worried about the resurgence of the Rong clan, he accepted the proposal of the great strategist You Yu and moved all the upper nobles of Rong Di to settle in Guanzhong.

Considering that the Rongdi tribe was wild and martial, and other places were powerless to restrain it, they arranged most of them in Yixian, the hometown of famous generals and with a strong martial style, and lived together with the old Qin people.

A hundred years have passed, although these Rongdi nobles have become peasants and commoners, their unruly character and fierce and aggressive atmosphere have not weakened in the slightest. On the ground of more than 200 miles in Yi County, they have been entangled with the Mengxi and Bai tribes, and they have been fighting privately. From neighborhood fights to clan fights, it almost never stops.

When the new law was promulgated, the people of Yixian County were nervous for a few days. But in the middle of the day, ridicule and resentment grew, and the two major forces both sneered at the new law, gathered to discuss, and were very dissatisfied.

The patriarch of the Rong people laughed drunkenly, "Don't you let men fight?" It's like not letting a woman have a baby! ”

Meng Tianyi, the old patriarch of the Meng clan, smiled and said to the clansmen: "Back then, the old ancestors were tough guys. Rong Di Ye admitted to fighting, and the more they fought, the more convinced they became. Afraid of the new law? All right. No matter how much the Qin State changes, can it still pass the old rules of Mu Gong? ”

Wei Ying also knew about this trend, so he sent Qin Feng to Yixian County at this time to observe the report. However, on the second day of Qin Feng's arrival, something unexpected broke out in Qin Feng's mind.

On May 23, a tragic civil war finally broke out in Yixian. Qin Feng happened to see the whole process, but he couldn't stop it with his own strength.

The nine villages inhabited by the Meng people are all on the north bank of Weishui, which are called Mengyi Village to Mengjiu Village. People call this area Mengxiang.

The land of Mengxiang is about 30 miles in circumference, and there is a diversion canal that runs through the land of nine villages. The nine villages of Mengxiang Township relied on this big canal to ensure their harvest during drought and flood.

This canal was built by Baili Xi, a virtuous minister during the reign of Qin Mugong, and it was called Baili Canal.

Because the general Meng Mingshi is the son of Baili Xi, and the Meng people are the descendants of the Baili clan, so the Qin Gong of all dynasties authorized the Meng people in Yixian County to live on both sides of the Baili Canal.

At that time, the western part of Guanzhong was the core area of the Qin State, and the capital Yongzhou was more than 100 miles west of Yixian, and this large canal was the only water conservancy project built by the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. The total length of the Baili Canal is less than 40 li, and the section that flows out of Mengxiang is divided into two branch canals, the branch canal to the west extends to Yongcheng, and the main canal to the east extends to Wugong.

Mengxiang is located in the main trunk canal section, and the mouth of the diversion canal is in the field of Mengjiu Village. The Rongdi immigrants all live on both sides of the East Branch Canal, and there are about eight or nine villages, and they often fight with Meng Township over water.

Although the Yixian government has canal officials, it cannot stop Meng Township from blocking the canal and forcibly intercepting water during the drought, let alone stopping the Rongdi immigrants from gathering crowds to grab water. This summer, in the event of a drought, the land will be planted without irrigation, and the harvest will be greatly reduced.

At this time, water is more valuable than gold.

In the middle of the night of May 23, just after the wheat harvest was over and the moon was scarce, the people of Mengxiang blocked the mouth of the canal leading from the main canal to the east branch canal, and except for putting a trickle of water in the west branch canal, all the canal water was diverted to the small hair canals in the villages of Mengxiang.

According to government regulations and folk water use customs, irrigation has always been downstream first and then upstream. Although there was a drought in previous years, the amount of water in the Weishui River did not decrease, and the people of Mengxiang were not in a hurry. This year, the drought may not be as serious as in previous years, but the amount of water in the Weishui River has been greatly reduced, although it is not dry, but you can see the boulders in the river trough.

Rumors came from nowhere, saying that the Qin State changed the law against the way of heaven, and there would be a great drought in heaven for three years! The people of Mengxiang were in a hurry, so they took the lead to block the main canal and intercept the water.

The Rongdi immigrants downstream waited for a long time at the mouth of the canal in Tiantou, but did not see a drop of water in the canal. The patriarch of Rongdi, Hu Mao, was puzzled, and the branch canal leaked and couldn't be wiped out? There should be a sound in the rupture too, huh? If the woman patrolling the canal has no return, it is clear that there is no water yet! However, after all, the Meng people are a big clan, and they can't provoke for no reason, and the matter must be confirmed first. As a result, Hu Mao sent more than 60 sturdy men to patrol along the channel to check what was going on and report back quickly.

At the fourth watch, the water patrol team walked to the mouth of the main canal, only to find that it was the people of Mengxiang who blocked the mouth of the canal. Rong Di Ding Zhuang couldn't help but be furious, and stepped forward to dig the mouth of the ditch with a shout! How can the more than 100 strong men in Meng Township guarding the mouth of the dry canal be accommodated? As soon as the leader whistled, he picked up the hoe, iron rake and club in his hand and pounced on him to intercept him, and then began to fight. After half an hour of fighting, Rong Di patrolled the ditch and was outnumbered, six died, and everyone was wounded, so they had to flee back to report the news.

When Hu Mao, the patriarch of Rongdi, saw the six corpses brought back, he was furious, his long hair stood up, and he shouted: "Blow the trumpet and gather troops!" Give me ——! ”

Suddenly, the mournful horn horn whined, one long and two short, resounding through the night sky. This is the horn of the Rongdi people to fight to the death, and it is a special signal to mobilize all the elites to go into battle. In an instant, the various Rongdi villages were in an uproar, and men, women, and children all came out together, holding hunting knives, daggers, clubs, and hoes.

The patriarch Hu Mao led more than a hundred Ding Zhuang warriors with horses and swords, roared, and swept towards the western Mengxiang like a storm. More than 1,000 people shouted and killed after the horse team, shouting and shouting, and swarming west.

A fierce struggle unfolds in the fields outside the main trunk canal!

The nine villages of the Meng nationality were ready, and more than 1,000 people gathered behind the canal bank and formed a large phalanx to defend against danger.

The Mengxi and Bai tribes are the old Qin people, most of the young and middle-aged people are in the army, and most of the cultivators at home are the elderly, women and teenagers. The Rongdi people are two and one, and there is still a part of the strong population.

When the two clans met, each had a proud martial tradition, and the new feud and old grudge turned out to be extremely red-eyed, more thrilling than the hand-to-hand combat between the two armies. Rong Di's vanguard horse team crossed the canal bank with a fierce charge and entered the camp of Meng Xibai's old and young. The old patriarch of the Meng nationality, who served as the "commander-in-chief", whistled, and the old and young behind the canal bank shouted and scattered. Most of the Rong Di Ma team actually threw themselves into the pit that had just been dug out!

The old and young men of the Meng tribe who surrounded and wanted to kill the knights of Rongdi were stopped and killed by the horse team outside the pit, stirred up a mess, and fought viciously. Later, the Rongdi people also swarmed and shouted, desperately rushing up the main canal embankment, and fighting with the Meng people old and young guarding the canal embankment.

For a while, shouting and shouting all over the field, the screams continued. Although most of the Meng people are old girls, they have the battle rules of the old Qin tribe, and they are always more than ten people in a circle, supporting each other inside and out, and taking care of each other.

Although Rong Di is more strong and has dozens of knights, he has always been a single rush and fierce fight, and he has no advantage. The two sides fought and tore apart for most of the night, and just as the day was about to dawn, the scuffle crowd finally stepped across the embankment of the main canal.

"Whoop——! The water rolled up the waves several feet high, rushing towards the crowd on both sides of the river!

"Quick——! Run——! The "commander-in-chief" of the Meng tribe hissed loudly.

"Ah——! Trumpet! ——! Hu Mao held his scimitar and roared desperately.

However, it was too late. The crowd of people who are fighting and tearing, you are blocking me, I am tripping you, and those who are hugging each other are afraid that they will let go of the opponent and be plotted, so they hold the opponent and do not let go...... When the muddy water waves swept violently, it was too late to shout! Those drowned in the water, choked to death by mud, suffocated by choking, died of wounds and bleeding, corpses strewn all over the field, and the dead were not counted. The water of May, which is more precious than gold, flows into an ocean without bounds.

A few people who escaped by luck were still scolding each other endlessly. Qin Feng witnessed everything, and he was still a little stunned until it was over. Is this the folk customs and private fighting of the Qin State, this is also ...... It's terrifying.
