The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 290: The sense of superiority of a proud man

Views:

At the end of September, the sixth year of the Emperor Yuan Dynasty.

Time has entered late autumn unknowingly, and the earth is about to usher in a winter. The cold wind has gradually blown all over the country, bringing a bit of chill to the original heat.

However, after this harvest, the grain warehouses were full, and the people had begun to prepare for the winter and enjoy this rare and peaceful season.

On the land of Qi State in the East of the Central Plains, a country that has stood on the coast of the East China Sea for hundreds of years, its home and people have been brutally destroyed and killed.

The war has lasted for half a year now.

The Qi State has also gone from being the most prosperous and populous country to what it is today, with weeds and wild beasts everywhere, and local corpses scattered on the road one by one, but no one has stopped them.

Now the entire Qi State has completely turned into a battlefield. Whether it is the battlefield where fierce fighting is taking place on the frontline or the rear where the turmoil has gradually calmed down and has become peaceful, murderous intentions are everywhere.

On this land, all the coalition soldiers have unleashed the beasts in their hearts and completely transformed into demons who only know destruction and killing.

They killed everyone who did not belong to their own camp, whether they were wild beasts who were stunned by the killing on the front line and had already lost their minds.

Still in the rear, although there was no war and they enjoyed peace, there were still defenders who went into the mountains and forests to hunt, as was customary for the Qi people.

They have long ignored life and even take pleasure in killing.

Therefore, anyone who appears in front of them, if they cannot prove their identity as belonging to this side, will definitely be killed by them without hesitation, and they will even perform some interesting activities before dying to serve them Bring greater enjoyment.

Because of this, the knights who traveled all over the world and the scholars who traveled to various countries all changed their minds when they heard the name of Qi.

This is because in the past, some warriors who prided themselves on their military power, or scholars who prided themselves on their status, heard that the war broke out and wanted to rush to the front line to witness an event that would determine the fate of the world.

By the way, I would like to see if I can climb to a high branch and become a retainer of a big shot in the coalition army. From then on, I can reach the sky and become one of those few people who stand in a high position, guide the country, and influence the destiny of the world.

Therefore, when the war just broke out, they not only did not feel sad, they felt sorry for the people who died as a result, and felt for the hard-won peace that they had not enjoyed for long.

On the contrary, I was extremely excited and happy.

Like flies that smelled the fishy smell, they pounced on them desperately, following the footsteps of the coalition forces or Qi State, constantly flying around, ready to go up and get a piece of the pie at any time.

It's not surprising that they were like this. In fact, in the previous battle between the Qin State and the Allied Forces, the Allied Forces used a large number of low-level people and promoted countless talents with talents and real knowledge.

Now, many of these promoted people have become county magistrates or generals, and have even entered the thatched cottages of various countries and become popular figures in front of the king.

In the splendid palace hall, Fang Jiong pointed out the political affairs of a country and even talked about world affairs. Although the world is big, it is not in my heart at all, attracting countless people who target them.

Then, here come these people at the bottom who are eager to go further.

At the beginning, both the coalition forces and the Qi State welcomed their arrival.

After all, who doesn’t like talents in this exciting Warring States era

And the best place to train a talent and show his true talents is on this kind of battlefield.

Therefore, both sides have attracted many people who came to seek refuge, giving them a chance to stand out.

Then, both sides were disappointed to find that although these people had some talent and learning, they were not many. If they were replaced in the army, they would only be one hundred or ten generals.

For all countries, there is no shortage of talents of this level but more than enough.

In the military camp, countless talented people of this level are waiting to be promoted and take over higher official positions.

These old men in the military camp all have sufficient qualifications, experience, and numbers. Let me ask you, why would you abandon these more trustworthy people and appoint these ordinary people who have just taken refuge but have great ambitions and talents

What's more, with the continuous battles ahead, the number of troops has dropped sharply, but the number of officers has not dropped much. After all, these officers themselves have a certain amount of force. Unlike ordinary soldiers, they are also protected by their subordinates. The number of sacrifices they may make on the battlefield is far less than that of ordinary soldiers.

While soldiers suffered too many losses, officers lost little, which made the few official positions even more scarce.

With more monks and less meat, every position is watched by countless people. How can there be any spare resources to allocate to outsiders

Except for those outsiders who actually have some earth-shattering talents, or have the most powerful force (reaching the first-class level), they will be valued by the people in power of the coalition, and they will be promoted to high positions.

Other second- and third-rate talents, unless these people can accept their status as a ten-man general and start from the bottom of the soldier, otherwise they will all be kicked out and abandoned in the old shoes.

Anyway, there are many things that a coalition of talents like this can do, including one or two of them.

Then, conflicts naturally broke out.

These are people who want to seek an official position and become famous. In the original towns and cities, they were all famous and had a certain prestige.

They think they are superior to others and have a superior status. After coming to the coalition, they should be immediately received by the big shots from various countries, and then be shocked to the heavens. From then on, they will be on the road to the rise of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

Well, these are all what they think.

What they really want is a decent official position, at least reaching the status of a thousand-man general and the head of a county, so that they can be worthy of their talents and status.

But reality suddenly hit their ideals, and their dignity was beaten to nothing, and they were thrown to the ground and trampled wantonly.

Being treated with such contempt now, how can I not arouse the anger of these proud people and feel that I have been insulted and despised.

The man was so angry that blood spattered three feet.

Many literati and warriors gathered around the military camp to cause trouble, blocking the camp gate and clamoring to see those in power.

At first, for the sake of reputation, those in power sent some people to advise them, hoping that they would obey the order and leave.

However, this behavior was regarded as weakness by the literati and warriors, and they gave in and became more noisy and noisy.

In doing so, I hope that such a noisy movement can really attract the attention of those big shots, and then give them some bones so that they can make up for it.

But after all, they underestimated the current leader of the alliance, and even more underestimated the commander-in-chief of the alliance.

The current commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Zhong Yu, who is that

That is the current leader of the coalition, His Majesty the Emperor, who is the supreme ruler of the country. He controls the lives of thousands of people. He can put the world in danger when he is angry, but can bring peace to the world when he is happy.

Last one today. It’s finally the fifth update, it’s not easy!

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a 10,000-word burst, and now I’m suddenly overwhelmed. I’m really not used to it. I can’t keep up with my speed. But the more I write, the better I feel. It’s hard even for me to imagine.

It seems like I have returned to the passionate days of writing just a few months ago.
