In the twenty-ninth year of the First Emperor's reign, after more than a year of drastic development, Great Qin was no longer what it used to be.

The optimization and reform of the military merit system has been thoroughly implemented in Da Qin's army. With the improvement of the sense of belonging and pride in the country, the number of Da Qin young people joining the army is only much more than before.

However, compared to the core Central Plains region, the benefits that Daqin can enjoy in Jiangnan, which is relatively remote, are still limited.

The land of Baiyue is not yet completely part of the Qin Dynasty. Kuaiji County borders the Baiyue area and is responsible for defending against interference from various ethnic groups in Baiyue.

It is the specialness here that gives the Xiang family room to develop and opportunities they can take advantage of.

On the second day after the ultimatum was issued to the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, the core members of the Xiang family tied their hands and came to the gate of the county government office in Wu County, Kuaiji County, posing as if they would voluntarily surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

Their appearance also attracted many people from Wuxian County to watch, and the entrance to the county government office was very lively for a while.

The magistrate of Wu County did not expect that such incredible wealth would befall him, so he ran out as soon as he received the news.

"Head of the Xiang family, what do you mean?"

After all, the Xiang family is a local wealthy family. Even if the county magistrate is ecstatic, the formality on the surface still has to go. Moreover, he does not dare to monopolize the credit, so he immediately sends someone to ask the governor of Kuaiji County.

"Going back to the county, my Xiang family is a descendant of the Chu State. After the world returned to Qin, I was afraid of the Qin Dynasty's liquidation, so I could only commit myself to this borderland. The Qin Dynasty is booming, and we have long been determined to contribute to the world. We are afraid that there will be resentment due to our background, so we dare not come forward."

Xiang Liang told the lie he had already made up in a very high-sounding way, which made the county magistrate happy to hear it.

"We are aware of His Majesty the First Emperor's edict, and because of His Majesty's magnanimity, we voluntarily bound ourselves to Xianyang to ask His Majesty's decision. We believe that His Majesty's great talent and strategy will give us a fair result."

In fact, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms in various parts of the Qin Dynasty basically did not hide their identities. They restrained their behavior and hid in a quiet corner.

As long as they did not touch the bottom line of the Qin Dynasty and did not raise soldiers and soldiers, the First Emperor would also He chose to turn a blind eye to their existence.

This is the self-confidence of an emperor through the ages, and it is even more arrogant. He believes that as long as he is still around, these guys will not dare to mess around.

The survivors of the Six Nations openly surrendered, Secretly, he was always gathering strength to prepare against Qin, but most people couldn't see it. When

Xiang Liang said this, the county magistrate had no doubts at all, and personally untied the ropes from his wrists, and even asked his men to untied the other Xiang family members.

"The head of the Xiang family made a serious statement. You are determined to contribute to Great Qin, but it is too late for Great Qin to welcome you. Your Majesty's edict is aimed at those rats in hiding, not you, the pillars of the country."

"The prefect is out today supervising the renovation of Chidao, but the county has sent people to invite the prefect to return. When the prefect arrives, you and I will discuss how to request orders from Xianyang."

The county magistrate welcomed everyone from the Xiang family into the county government office. Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the people naturally dispersed. Only a few people with unusual expressions hid around the county government office, as if they had ulterior motives.

Inside the county government office , everyone was chatting and laughing, but outside the county town, there were already dark clouds.

On the road that the county guard must pass to get to the county town, Xiang Yu was ambushing him with more than a hundred elite dead soldiers of the Xiang family. Each of them had an iron sword in his hand, and they all had bows and arrows on their backs. , with a hungry wolf-like light in his eyes.

Xiang Yu, who was only fourteen years old at the time, had already grown tall and strong, and as a precocious man, he was not at all nervous about what was about to happen.

"Shaoyu, everything is ready."

After the leader of the dead soldiers returned to life, he stayed by Xiang Yu's side. His mission was to protect the future hope of the Xiang family.

"very good. Go according to plan. After killing the county guard, you will follow me to capture Wu County. This will become our land of Longqi."

"My uncle has reached an agreement with the nearby Yue people. As long as we start an uprising, they are willing to cooperate with us in our fight against Qin and provide troops, food and fodder. There are also prisoners of the Qin Dynasty who have surrendered, and with the rebels from all over the country responding, great things can be accomplished."

Confidence comes from strength, or it may come from ignorance.

Growing up, Xiang Yu has had superior living conditions and much better talents than other people of his age. He is the hope of his family and the target of people around him. He has the capital to be proud of.

However, times have changed. When the outside world is developing rapidly, and when children in the Qin Dynasty begin to receive comprehensive education, the old-era training methods used by the survivors of the Six Kingdoms limit the vision of the young Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu leads the Xiang family The dead soldiers were ambushing the Sheriff of Kuaiji County, but the Sheriff of Kuaiji County had just put down his binoculars on a hilltop in the distance.

"Five miles away, an ambush was waiting for us. Everyone, what do you think?"

Beside the county guard is an elite force of 300 people. The members are all Da Qin warriors wearing tactical steel armor and carrying fine steel swords at their waists. What's even more terrifying is that these warriors are equipped with two horses, except for weapons and equipment. They brought nothing except individual rations.

This is a special operations team with super lethality and super high mobility. It is also a team that should not have appeared here. The person leading the team is Da Qintong Wuhou, Wang Jian's son Wang Bi

"General, although the team 5 miles away are the elite of the enemy, we are confident that we can kill them."

The warriors expressed their confidence to their generals that they would fight and win, but Wang Ben smiled and shook his head.

"If we eat each other, we will lose the purpose of His Majesty sending us here. Letting them go is what we have to do."

"Da Qin needs a Xiang who is looking for another way out with the heart of revenge, not a group of dead people who are of no use."

Wang Ben ordered the whole army to detour to Wu County to support Wu County and prevent Xiang from jumping over the wall and hurting the people. He also made a little joke on the way:

"If you are concerned about the military merit of these heads, just run faster when we drive them out, and maybe you can catch a few more."

After hearing Wang Ben's joke, the sound of horse hooves could not cover up the laughter of the warriors.

"General, the new military merit system we have memorized so hard during this period is not for nothing. The merits of a few beheadings cannot be compared with the collective merits of completing important military tasks."

Nowadays, in the Qin Army, the mentality of many Qin Army soldiers has undergone a huge change in just one year. They have changed from changing their military merits to improve their families to making contributions and honoring their families. Not only has the military treatment been improved, but also the policy of preferential treatment for military families has been introduced. There is also the credit for the smooth development of cultural education in the military.

The Qin army became the first batch of armies to get rid of illiteracy. The literacy rate increased rapidly. Ordinary soldiers were able to write letters home and knew more about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

If according to Zhou Li's Six Arts of Gentlemen came to see these soldiers. They are all handsome gentlemen who know etiquette and music, are good at shooting, and can read and count.

"Good boy, I couldn’t fool you, hahahaha. Well said, there are many opportunities to make contributions in the future, and Da Qin’s journey is like a sea of ​​stars."

"His Majesty the First Emperor has lived for thousands of years, the Qin Dynasty has lived for thousands of years, and China has lived for thousands of years!"

Everyone shouted, their hearts full of pride and ambition.
