Chapter 18: The Colosseum
Chapter XVIII: The Colosseum
In Qin Yiren's mansion, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong were discussing with Qin Yiren.
"Childe, this martial arts training is useless, it must go through actual combat." Meng Zhao frowned and said, "Only after being tempered by life and death can you become a real elite." ”
This is very insightful, training cannot train masters, and lack of experience is enough to kill. Two people with similar skills, one has no actual combat experience, and the other has a lot of experience, this result does not need to be said, it is certain that the experienced person will win.
"yes." Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said, "It's a pity, where am I going to fight?" This is Handan, not Qin. Even in the Qin State, you have to fight to gain experience in actual combat. ”
The actual combat really stumped Qin Yiren, it was not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the actual battle.
"Childe, what's so difficult about this?" Fan Tong took over the conversation and said: "This is Handan, not the Qin State, you don't have to go to the battlefield to find an opportunity for actual combat." ”
The Qin State forbade private fighting, private fighting was to punish crimes, the Qin people were afraid of the Qin law, did not dare to defy the law, if they wanted to get the opportunity to fight, the only way to go to the battlefield.
"Oh." Qin Yiren suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Colosseum, Colosseum, how can I forget this?" ”
The Colosseum is what later generations called the "Arena".
Slave competition did not exist only in ancient Rome, but still existed in ancient Chinese history.
In ancient Chinese history, there were many famous Colosseums, such as: the sand dune garden built by the king of Zhou, where many beasts and birds were taken for people to fight; The Dongyu repaired by King Mu of Zhou, raising tigers in it, hence the name Tiger Prison.
In addition, there are worm prisons, snake abysses, high wolves, and so on.
These Colosseums not only have fights between slaves and slaves, but also between slaves and beasts and pythons, for the amusement of slave owners and nobles.
Of course, the establishment of the Colosseum also has an important role, and that is the training of soldiers. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the famous royal garden "Shanglin Garden" raised many beasts, which was blamed by future generations. The people who accuse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty do not know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used it for the training of the famous Yulin Army.
Not every army, not every soldier has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and if you can't experience it on the battlefield, then go to the Colosseum to fight and fight with the beasts.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invested a lot in this, but the harvest was also very large, and the "Yulin Army" was famous through the ages.
The Warring States Period was the era of China's transition from a slave society to a feudal society. The advanced social system and the representative of feudal society are not the six kingdoms of Shandong that Confucianism boasted of like flowers in later generations, but precisely the Qin state, which was greatly depreciated by Confucianism.
Shang Ying changed the law and implemented "the country has no affiliation, and the people of the country are one" in the Qin State, that is, the abolition of slaves, all of whom are free people who enjoy personal freedom.
After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he spread the feudal system throughout the country and completely abolished slaves, which was a great progress.
Such a leap and bounds of progress was scolded by later generations, and the Qin Dynasty was nailed to the pillar of shame because of this, and was infamous as "violent Qin".
However, the six countries of Shandong are a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, which is a pot of raw rice, with both the strong epitome of the backward slavery system and the shadow of the progressive feudal system.
Handan, as the political and economic center of the six countries of Shandong, has many Colosseums, as long as Qin Yiren is willing, he can go to the Colosseum at any time to fight, and he can conduct actual combat.
This is definitely the best way to solve the actual battle in front of him, Qin Yiren couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Colosseum." ”
After training for so long, he has not yet gone through actual combat, and the fight with Xinling Junmenke is not a little challenging, and Qin Yiren is very eager.
As soon as he said yes, he took Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong out of the mansion and went straight to the Colosseum.
This was the first time Qin Yiren had fought in actual combat, and he did not go to a large Colosseum, but came to a small Colosseum, called "Ma's Colosseum".
Although it is a small Colosseum, it occupies a large area, hundreds of houses for VIPs to rest, and a huge Colosseum, which is where slaves fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, but are you here to watch?" A handmaiden floated in, crisp and raw.
"I'm here to fight." Qin Yiren came straight to the point.
"Fighting?" The maid glanced at Qin Yiren and said, "Da Bin wants to use special means?" Is it semi-awake, or unconscious? ”
Fighting martial arts is just a nice word, those slave owners and aristocrats who only know how to eat, drink and have fun dare to fight with slaves to the death and death, whenever they want to "fight martial arts", they have to give the slaves medicine, so that the slaves are not sober, for the slave owners and nobles to abuse, happy to kill them, in order to have fun, to win the name of martial arts.
Qin Yiren is so handsome, he must be a playboy, a son of a wealthy family, who kills slaves for fun.
"No, I don't. It's good to be sober. "Qin Yiren wants to hone himself, of course he can't give medicine to slaves.
"Really?" The maid was a little surprised, and looked at Qin Yiren in surprise.
Got your brain caught in the door, right? Who do you think you are? Slaves are outlaws, and if one is not good, it will kill you.
"Not really." Qin Yiren affirmed.
"I wonder what kind of slave Dabin is going to pick?" The maid counted them with her jade-like fingers: "We have prisoners of war slaves from the Seven Warring States here, slaves from Baiyue, Donghu, Linhu, Hun Evil, Hutu, Loulan, Baiyang, Xiongnu, and Zhuan Huren, everything you need, Gongzi, what do you want?" ”
The Hu people are mixed-race, and they are a mix of Hu people and Huaxia.
The Warring States Period, in fact, was the era of coexistence between Huayi, and Hu Feng was extremely prosperous. Zhao State because of King Zhao Wuling's implementation of "Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting", and Hu Feng was more prosperous. In addition, King Wuling of Zhao once broke the Hu people, defeated the Huns, and captured a large number of Hu people and Huns, making Handan's Hu Feng a few points more prosperous.
Therefore, it is not surprising that there are such Hu people from all over the world in Handan.
"It's quite a whole variety." Qin Yiren had to admire.
"That's oh." The handmaiden raised her head proudly.
"Childe, you are fighting for the first time, and you can see blood, so you should not fight with others." Meng Zhao reminded and said, "Young Master Rong has seen blood, and it is most appropriate to fight with others." ”
Qin Yiren had no objection to this proposal. Thinking about it at the beginning, he could have killed Xinlingjun's disciple with a sword, but he couldn't bear it, so he spared his life.
Qin Yiren has never killed anyone, he can't bear to kill, and fighting with the murderous slaves here is too dangerous.
"Okay. Then choose to fight wild boars. Qin Yiren immediately made a decision.
If he is good at martial arts, Qin Yiren can choose fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards. However, with Qin Yiren's current skills, if he fights with fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards, he will inevitably die.
Although the wild boar is also a kind of beast, it is much less dangerous, and it is suitable for Qin Yiren.
After paying the money, Qin Yiren was taken to the martial arts arena. A wild boar with bared fangs and a strong body rushed towards it like a wind.
Qin Yiren clenched the sword in his hand and concentrated on it.
