In the capital of the Xia Dynasty, there was the Xin clan's escape force, and it took half a month to finally arrive here.

With the Xin family being so miserable, it was also expected by Xia Qi, and it was inevitable that there would be some schadenfreude in his heart.

Didn't you disobey me? Now that the old nest has been served, in the end it is not to come to Lao Tzu to wagging his tail and begging for mercy, begging for a bite to eat.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Qi was still very greedy for the remaining power of the Xin clan.

Now he had to get in touch with the Southwest Shu Kingdom, and paid a great price to get the bronze smelting method from them.

Although the weapons and equipment of the Xia Dynasty today have not been replaced with sophisticated bronzes, their combat effectiveness is no longer comparable to that of the Qi Xia War.

To a certain extent, the war has a certain role in promoting the progress of science and technology, which is well interpreted in both Qi and Xia.

Xia Qi not only actively absorbed the weapons and tactics of Qi State, but also was very interested in Qi State's system, this year, Xia Qi ignored those Zhuxia tribes who were vassals of himself, and tried to reform the system in his own one-acre and three-point land.

In the heart of the Xia Dynasty, his words were that the royal law was the way of heaven, and all those who did not hinder reform and opposed their own decisions suffered devastating blows, both physical and spiritual.

Although the current Xia Dynasty has not yet formed a complete political system like the Qi State, it has completely broken away from the prototype of the country and has become a real country.

In the past, the ruling basis of the tribal alliance was maintained by blood relations and alliances, but now the Xia Dynasty relies on force and military forces to maintain its rule, and there is a clear class division.

After Xia Qi's power was consolidated again, although the strength area of the Xia Dynasty was much smaller than the nominal sphere of influence it once was, its strength was much stronger.

Faced with the pressure of Qi and other ambitious people, the Xia Dynasty could be said to be a soldier for all people.

As long as they are adults, both men and women, they can be filled into the army and fight against the Qi people.

There are some differences between this method and the patriarchal world of the Qi State, there is no essential difference between men and women in the army, perhaps from this point of view, the Xia Kingdom ruled by Xia Qi has indeed achieved equality between men and women in a certain aspect.

Xia Qi listened expressionlessly to the ministers of the Xin clan telling about their misery and the arrogance of the Qi country.

For these, Xia Qi is just perfunctory at will, so that everyone in the Xin family can stay here with peace of mind, and as for Yang Hao, Qi Guoyunyun will clean it up sooner or later.

The people of the Xin clan didn't believe much in this kind of boasting, but after today, Xia Qi took these people to inspect his army, and this suspicion disappeared.

In particular, Ji Bian felt that he might be able to regain his land and be his leader comfortably again.

If Xia Qi knew what this person was thinking in his heart, he would definitely scoff at it, and he was shocked in his heart, thinking about how to kill the person in front of him unconsciously, so that he could receive the power of the Xin clan.

In the middle of December of the first year of Hongwu, after more than a month of digestion, the Qi State had completely controlled the sphere of influence of the Youxin clan, and declared that these places were the inherent territory of the Qi State and were sacrosanct.

As for the people on the land, they were naturally a valuable resource of the Qi country, and the envoys sent out clearly told those tribes that if any tribe dared to leave the area where they lived, they would be dealt with as rebellion once they were discovered.

The hundreds of good heads stuck in the wooden poles outside Xin City were their fate.

Yang Hao stationed his camp in Xincheng and had already begun to repair it, and this place was very close to the Shang tribe who believed in ghosts and gods and liked people and animals.

So far, this Shang tribe has not sent a single person over, which shows that this force is very unfriendly to itself and does not give itself face.

Yang Hao felt that he should beat this arrogant evil force.

Just when Yang Hao was thinking about how to take the Shang knife, the Shang tribe was already in a mess.

In their understanding, Yang Hao's hatred for himself is far greater than that of Youxin, after all, Yang Hao's reduction into slavery was caused by them.

It's just that in Yang Hao's heart, the memory of this world only starts from the day he was sold, and as for what happened before, how will he know.

For today's Yang Hao, the Shang tribe is just a barbaric and bloody primitive native, and if he honestly obeys himself, he will naturally not be idle and do a massacre.

However, these people from the Shang tribe didn't know that these people were afraid that Yang Hao would do something to himself after destroying Youxin, how could they have the courage to run over and send him to death.

The asymmetry of information caused both sides to miscalculate, and both sides subconsciously regarded each other as enemies.

The panicked Shang tribe sacrificed for several days in a row, sacrificing many human and animal animals, hoping to get some revelation from the gods.

It's just that the results of the divination are very bad, which makes the Shang tribe even more hostile to the Qi country, but the Shang are weak and can't compete with the Qi country.

In desperation, they had no choice but to give up their so-called bravery and begin to seek their allies.

The enemy of the enemy is his friend, this truth is deeply understood by the people of this era, and the idea of defecting to the Xia Dynasty began to be approved by most nobles of the Shang tribe.

Maybe this is the wheel of history reversing the deviation of time and space in its own way, wanting to erase Yang Hao's special situation.

Yang Hao pondered for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of using force against the Shang tribe, and now the most important thing is to quickly absorb the fruits of this war, and it is only right to contact the Yu clan as soon as possible.

After all, there is a Yu clan on his side that has the mineral deposits he dreams of, as long as he gets out the iron tools, the small Shang tribe is just a young child, and he will kick it away if he is not honest.

At the end of December of the first year of Hongwu, the first snowfall since the beginning of winter ushered in, and in the snowflakes, the envoys of the Yu clan arrived in Xincheng with the most noble items of their tribe.

Yang Hao was a little surprised by this. He had just sent messengers, and these people had arrived so quickly.

After asking, he got it, and his messenger met the people of the Yu clan halfway.

Yang Hao was very satisfied, and in his warm tent, Yang Hao invited these so-called relatives to a banquet.

Yang Hao's etiquette was very thoughtful, and he did not look down on poor relatives after being rich.

Take out the best food that can be made here to entertain these people, and the dishes with the characteristics of Qi have opened the eyes of the envoys of the Yu clan, and they are far better than themselves when they see the food and clothing of the officials of Qi State.

Thinking that their tribe actually produced such a powerful character, they were even more determined in their hearts to have a good relationship with the Qi State.

If Yang Hao thinks about the affection of his relatives, maybe he can start to enjoy life in the future, and completely get rid of the miserable situation of bullying.
