Chapter 204: Counterattack on the Dragon Qi Kingdom!

Xia Xu is now under one person!

No, not only that, but even Xia Xu's rights combined, have surpassed Empress Chen Luoxue!

Because Chen Luoxue at this moment has no military power, nor does he have the ability to preside over government affairs!

Xia Xu's greatest right is still the generalissimo of soldiers and horses!

As soon as Xia Xu was canonized, he immediately ordered the flying pigeon to pass the book to the Quandong Sui Kingdom, so that part of the war could be ended!

In this way, the big picture is decided!

Xia Xu has really taken control of the overall situation!

He immediately issued a series of appointments!

"The appointment of Duke Zonghu as the deputy marshal of the Eastern Sui Kingdom remains unchanged, and he will take over the bloodstained duke's territory!"

"Appoint Duke Qianlan as the deputy marshal of the Eastern Sui State and take over the territory of the Duke of Qingliang!"

"Appoint Xue Liu as the Duke of Scimitar and follow me to fight!"

Xue Liu, he is already a duke!

Follow Xia Xu, it's so promising!

But it's also full of hardships!

"Appoint Wang Shengnan as the new barren lord, guard the barren ridge area, and continue to serve as the general of Zhenbei!"

"Appoint Li Xiaochun as the Lady of Shence! Worship the general and lead the Shence army to guard the God of War Castle!"

"Appoint Fangs as the Great General, Make Marquis! Command the Death Squad!"

"Appoint Yin Qiu as Minister of Finance, Auxiliary Minister!"

No one thought that Yin Qiu would become an auxiliary minister!

That's not far from being the prime minister!

Generally speaking, the auxiliary minister is a person that the old emperor is used to, and there is no major problem with qualifications and talents, but the key is morality. Under the power and prestige of the old emperor, these courtiers were cautious and did not dare to have any ideas, but after the old emperor died and the little emperor ascended the throne, the former courtiers slowly grasped the actual power, and they tasted the sweet taste of power. Even if you don't have an "idea", if you have been in charge of the government for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some things that are not disciplined enough, not respectful enough to the superiors, not modest enough to the subordinates, and it is inevitable that you will be offended. When the emperor is older, it is not trivial to find an opportunity to spill the accumulated resentment. Therefore, in this position, he is basically exercising the power of the number one in the name of the second and third leaders, and even if he does not have the idea and original intention of rebelling and usurping the throne, he will most likely lose the reputation of a powerful minister. In this position, it's not okay to manage too much, it's not okay to do less; it's not easy for the little emperor to be naughty and messy or can't help Adou, and it's not easy to do it if he's too capable—this is an absolutely embarrassing second-in-command position, and it's really infinite scenery at the dangerous peak—prominent but rare to have a good end.

"Those who are blessed are also the instruments of the king, and the people and ministers cling to it, and they do not return for a long time, and they are rarely in time. ”

But Xia Xu's appointment is 100% trust in Yin Qiu!

Because Xia Xu knew that Chen Luoxue's current ability was not enough, and he still needed to experience!

And I'm going to fight again!

So let Yin Qiu handle the affairs, of course, with Zonghu Qianlan!

Therefore, although Yin Qiu's position is awkward, he has indeed been reused!

In the history of Longchen Continent, there were only a few people with noble character and outstanding ability, such as Zhou Gong, who had been in this position and left a good reputation.

And even these people, in fact, have always been feared by the highest powers. The Duke of Zhou assisted King Zhou Cheng and was known as a saint, but after King Zhou Cheng actually took power, he forced Duke Zhou to return to the feudal country where his son was located to "pay for the elderly". And Kong Ming, the god of war, although he was deeply trusted and respected by Liu Xiaopang when he was alive, but after his death, Liu's suppressed dissatisfaction was revealed in many places. At that time, Huo Guang supported Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, and made great contributions to the smooth transition of the dynasty's power, but when he drove for Emperor Xuan, Emperor Xuan looked at his back and fidgeted like a thorn in his back. Soon after Huo Guang's death, the Huo family perished, and someone in the historian once said that "the disaster of the Huo family lies in the ride". Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty is also an example. These virtuous and admired figures can only get such results, let alone those others.

Therefore, Yin Qiu also knows in his heart, what should be done and what should not be done, he knows!

Yin Qiu is also a self-motivated person, he not only wants to be an auxiliary minister, but also a first auxiliary minister!

The name of "first assistant" is not explicitly stipulated in the code, but it is customary to refer to the chief scholar of the main authority of the cabinet as the first assistant, and he has relatively special powers and status. This system arose in political practice, roughly during the reign of Emperor Yingzong Tianshun, and began with Li Xian. In the early days of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli, the boundaries between the first assistant and the second assistant were strict, and the first assistant presided over the cabinet affairs, with the greatest power, and the second assistant could not be compared, and the competition for the position of the first assistant was also fierce. After that, the power of the cabinet chief assistant gradually declined, but the title continued until the death of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the prime minister straightened out!

Foreman cabinet scholars are sometimes referred to as "chief assistants", but their actual position of authority in the cabinet is not prominent, and the importance of the cabinet itself has declined. In contrast, the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft has more power inside and outside the Military Aircraft Department, so Xi calls the Minister of Foreman Military Aircraft the first assistant.

The names of cabinet officials, such as "Scholar of XX Temple" and "Scholar of XX Pavilion", began in the Tang Dynasty. However, the duties of the scholars of the Jixian Hall were mainly to edit books and discover and recommend literary talents, not to be a central institution that held administrative power. There are many names of "Diange University Scholars", such as "Guanwen Palace, Duanming Palace, Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Xianmo Pavilion" and other bachelors, but most of them are used as honorary titles, without actual duties, and do not necessarily coincide with the prime minister.

Just when many people were envious of Xia Xu's henchmen for promotion, a terrible news suddenly came!

The hostile country of Longqi invaded the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

Two great cities have been slaughtered, in the west!

"Ignoring the danger of the invasion of the demon clan, the Long Qi Kingdom has brazenly launched an invasion against us, they are acting against the sky!" Yin Qiu said bitterly!

Xue Liu also agreed: "Marshal, their Dragon Qi Kingdom is really disgusting, the Shura orangutan was killed by us, they don't have the pressure of the demon clan, so they came to attack us, this is taking advantage of people's danger!"

Xia Xu sneered: "Since that's the case, then we'll counterattack them!"

"There is no need for this slave country to exist in the first place!"

The country of Longqi is a slave kingdom!

A slave is a person who has lost his personal freedom and is driven by others to do things for them. The two slave names "slave" and "li" both existed in the pre-Qin period. Historically, people have been slaves due to war, crime, bankruptcy, etc., and have been gifted and traded as a valuable commodity as a tool of labor. Slaves can become free again through acts such as escaping, redeeming, and making meritorious contributions. With the progress of society and the development of the times, the category of slavery has been far rid of the previous original definition, and has gradually been extended to being subject to certain things or behaviors, making itself lose its independence and free control, and live in a life of "enslavement".

A person who does not have personal freedom for unpaid labor for a slave owner. "Qiang Wuyi is a warlord, Qin Li was detained by Qin when he was in office, and he thought he was a slave. ”

"The eunuch will sweep away the palace and clean up the matter, and the ancient slaves and animals will be slaves. ”

"Thou shalt be a thief, and thou shalt drive thee into slavery, and thy burden shall be upon thy lair. ”

Farmers, merchants, and workers, slaves, fishing, slaughtering, rice, cattle and sheep herding all have the first arrival, which can be used as a teacher.

"How can you look at heaven and earth and be worthy of a slave?"

"Although slaves are ashamed, they often go to the court and sit in the county, and they do not think they are ashamed. Three

"But you have your own maidservants, and you don't need to be a slave. ”

"Poison the people, slave government, follow the place, there is no grass in the wild. ”

This is the country of Long Qi!

The notorious slave kingdom!

Both the Fang and the tribe strive to capture prisoners of war and plunder the other side's population during military operations.

The nobility obtained a large number of Qiang and Yi captives, some of which were used as human sacrifice sacrifices, and some of them were reduced to slavery.

Murderous sacrifices have been greatly reduced, and the proportion of captives used as slaves has increased significantly.

"The father and brother who kill, the goods and wealth of the people, and the children of the concubines". Slaves were often referred to as "captives".

Since the beginning of the Warring States period, there have been a large number of poor people or other bankrupts selling their wives and children into slavery. Sometimes they resort to the method of redundancy, that is, they use their wives and children as collateral for debts, and if they cannot repay their debts when they expire, they are confiscated as slaves by their creditors. If a son who is used as collateral is recruited as a son-in-law by the creditor's family, he becomes a son-in-law. During the Warring States period, the status of the son-in-law was very low, similar to that of a slave. The phenomenon of self-selling into slavery also existed during the Warring States period. The above-mentioned slaves can basically be regarded as debt slaves.

Generally, the subordinate is redeemed by two people, and the old subordinate who has reached the age of "free from old age" and the small subordinate who is less than five feet tall and the concubine are redeemed by one person. Those who redeem themselves become vassals. It is estimated that the people who were generally used to ransom the concubines of their subordinates were private slaves. In addition, the Qin law also allowed the people to redeem their mother or sister as a concubine with the condition of "five years old in the border" without offsetting the condition of the service to be served.

Meritorious service to the slave owner or the state was also a way to exempt slaves. Luan's condition was to obtain the promise of the ruler to burn the "Danshu" and exempt him from his slave status. In the struggle between the aristocratic Zhao clan and the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, Zhao Jianzi also proposed to "defeat the enemy" before a battle...... The promise of "subordination and exemption" to motivate the fighting spirit of the slaves under him. It can be known from the "Military Lord's Law" that if a subordinate beheads the enemy, he can be exempted from the status of a slave, and ordinary people should be exempted from beheading one and getting a knighthood. In addition, there are some special circumstances for the exemption from slavery. After the acquisition of new territories, slaves were sometimes exempted from being relocated there.

A Thracian from the northeast, he was captured and sold as a gladiator slave when the demons invaded the Northlands, and sent to a gladiator school in the city of Capua. In a fighting match, he and ten slaves rebelled against the nobles. He encouraged his companions to seize arms and flee to Vesuvius to start an uprising. The revolt team quickly grew from more than 70 gladiators to more than 100,000 men, and defeated the army many times. However, the rebel forces were divided and the uprising turned from prosperity to decline, and was later suppressed by Crassus, and Spartacus died a heroic death in the Battle of Apriria.

This is a legend from the primeval times!

Plunder and conquest, hundreds of thousands of slaves poured into Rome, a large part of them female slaves. Because of the delicate body, it is easy to control, and there are some other uses, so the price is much higher than that of male slaves, and if you are beautiful and have a good figure, the price is more expensive. It seems lucky that you don't have to go to the manor to do heavy work, but in the master's house, the slave girl has to be on the lookout for some special thoughts of the master from time to time.

It is slavery itself, slaves have to work for slave owners, the primary productive force of society is slaves, Rome invaded everywhere, in order to collect a large number of slaves to produce in the slave owner's thousand-acre estate, and the Roman slave owner sat and enjoyed a happy life.

Generally, male slaves would work on farms, mines, workshops, and ranches, and the stronger ones would be sent to gladiatorial schools to become gladiators, and they would die in the Colosseum for the pleasure of slave owners. And the female slave is similar to the modern high-level nanny, doing laundry and cooking, feeding pigs and sheep, and baking bread..... As long as it is hard work and dirty work, it will be handed over to them.

Other aristocratic families would ask slave girls to act as wet nurses because these seductive Roman women wanted to stay in perfect shape.

The Roman Empire in the primeval era was very unbearable!

Slaves were seen as their own personal property, "talking tools", slaves were shackled and labored under the whip of the overseers, in Rome, an average of more than 2,000 slaves were traded every day, and the island of Delos in the Aegean Sea was once a famous center of slave trading, and it was played with wantonly, these were all normal things that happened around the Romans.

Because he had many sexual intercourse, he could not be the wife of his master, and the law did not allow it. The unfortunate conceiving child was either put to death or given birth to a child who continued to be kept as a slave and kept in captivity like a pig or a dog.

The beautiful woman is not only forced to become the lover of the master, but also often suffers from the jealousy of the hostess, and beatings are indispensable every day.

This is the current situation of Longqi Kingdom!

They are the land of slavery!

Slavery refers to the system in which slave owners own slaves. Labour activities must be predominantly slave-based, unpaid, and without personal freedom. Slaves were generally drawn from prisoners of war, natives of occupied territories, debtors and criminals!

Slavery arose from a system of ownership and control of one person over another person under socio-economic conditions that produced surplus products. In a typical slave society, the law recognized slaves as the private property of slave owners, who had the power to kill, and could enslave, buy, sell, and kill at will. Slaves have no independent personality, no freedoms and no rights, and the descendants of slaves are slaves for generations. The early slaves were mainly from prisoners of war. It is customary to prohibit members of their tribe from enslaving other members. Later, after the establishment of the system of slavery members who could serve as slaves, sometimes some members of the tribe were used as slaves, but often as a punishment, such as debtors who were unable to pay their debts and sentenced to prison.

The slave society brought mankind into the era of civilization and promoted the tremendous development of social productive forces, which was a great progress in history. But at the same time, slavery was also the most barbaric system, as is evident from the characteristics of the relations of production of slavery and the suffering of the vast number of slaves.
