Chapter 579 (1/2)
”Met the teacher!”
Jiang Ziya got up and came to the tent to salute.
The arrival of the light made him a little excited.
They have witnessed the power of fan Tianyin with their own eyes. It's really powerful. Except that his apricot yellow flag and Yang Jian's eight nine Xuangong can resist, others have nothing to do with him.
Yang Jian and others also saluted quickly.
Burning the lamp, he nodded: ”that man is no one else, but guangchengzi's disciple.”
”Elder martial brother's disciple? Then how could he deal with us with a heavenly seal? ”
Jiang Ziya and others were surprised to hear this.
”Do you know his name?”
He looked at the people and asked.
They looked at each other and shook their heads gently.
The light flashed: ”his name is Yin Jiao.”
Yin Jiao?
They were either silent or stunned. Only Jiang Ziya thought a little after listening, and suddenly exclaimed, ”what, Yan Jiao? Is he... ”
Lit the lamp and nodded.
”Elder martial brother guangchengzi, why did you bring Yin Jiao under my teaching?”
Jiang Ziya sighed, ”in this way, it's really a injustice.”
”What Yin Jiao, what injustice, ah, martial uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand.” Nezha was confused.
Jiang Ziya shook his head: ”that Yan Jiao was no one else, just the great merchant's Prince and his highness, just because at the beginning...”
He used to be a minister in Yin Shang Dynasty, so he is familiar with it. Now he will tell us about the past of Yin Jiao brothers.
”So this Yan Jiao and that Yan Hong are brothers, or are they both princes of big merchants?”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Jiang Ziya said, ”then, excuse me, teacher, how should Yin Jiao deal with this powerful Tianyin?”
”You have to tie the bell to solve the bell. If you want to break the sky seal, you have to find guangchengzi.” The light flashed in the eyes.
Jiang Ziya nodded: ”Yang Jian, go to Jiuxian mountain and find your martial uncle guangchengzi to deal with Yin Jiao.”
Yang Jian took orders and went out into a strong wind.
The Taoist priest sat down and said, ”next, I just need to wait.”
Before Sishui shut down.
Wen Taishi led the army to chase the enemy for thirty miles, won a great victory and conquered Jinjiling.
The joint forces of the princes fled all the way and finally camped at the foot of Qishan.
Wen Taishi led the army to win and return to the pass.
In Dixin palace.
Wen Zhong reported: ”king Qi, our army killed more than 80000 troops and captured more than 10000 enemies in this battle. Please tell me what to do.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help glancing at Lu Chuan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know where Lu Chuan collected a group of powerful strange people. The combat effectiveness was too strong, especially a giant man and a dragon and tiger monster.
The 80000 troops killed the enemy this time, but almost half of them were done by these two gangs.
A fierce mess is like a God coming to the world, which is difficult to stop, and a stone in both hands is like a locust shower.
The point is that a stone is as big as a grinding plate. If it hits, it will be either dead or injured.
If Nezha and others hadn't stopped them at last, their achievements would have been more.
Although he is not shallow in Taoism, he is also a monk. It's OK to kill alchemists with Taoism, but killing mortals is still too damaging to Tianhe.
He usually doesn't attack mortals, so his record is far less glorious than the two men under Lu Chuan.
In the palace, Emperor Xin Gao was on the top. Listening to the report, Deng Jiugong, Zhang Kui, Han Rong and other people were in the hall.
After hearing this, the people immediately took a breath, and their eyes flashed surprised when they looked at each other.
Kill 80000 enemies and capture 10000. Such casualties are equal to crippling one of the great princes of Kyushu!
”Well done!”
After hearing this, Emperor Xin was inspired: ”such a great victory on the first day of operation is inseparable from the soldiers' bravery to kill the enemy and give orders to reward the three armies alone.”
”Thank you, king!”
Wen Zhong said, ”then the captured enemy and the old minister will return to Chaoge to be sold as slaves.”
Lu Chuan's eyes moved aside. This is the case with today's slavery, which has existed since the ancient tribal era.
Then, after hundreds of years of development in the Xia Dynasty, today's great Shang Dynasty is in the heyday of slavery.
The slave owners and nobles were the ruling class, forming a huge bureaucratic ruling organization and army. Under the rule of the Shang king, they ruled the civilians and slaves in the lower class.
When these captured enemy troops are returned to Chaoge, they will be publicly sold like goods, and the nobles or rich people will buy them as private property and be enslaved.
However, the status of slaves is lower than that of servants. Almost like cattle and sheep, slaves will be used in all aspects such as production and sacrifice.
The money from the slave trade will be filled into the state treasury, and the private property of slaves is still protected by the current law.
Emperor Xin pondered for a moment and waved his hand: ”it's not urgent. Let's take two days!”
Wen Zhong was stunned and nodded.
Di Xin waved: ”you step back first and prepare to reward the three armies. Lu Qing, you stay. I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu Chuan was stunned and said, ”yes!”
They also said that they retreated from the palace.
There were only Lu Chuan and di Xin left in the palace.
Lu Chuan said tentatively, ”the king wants to discuss with his ministers about dealing with the princes?”
”It's not that, but another thing.”
Di Xin said seriously, ”Lu Qing, I ask you, what do you think of these slaves...?”
”What do you think?” Lu Chuan's eyes flickered.
He has been with Dixin for a long time. He knows that Dixin will not ask this for no reason.
Dixin stood up, went to the gate of the palace and looked at the sky outside: ”you think slavery...”
”Does the king want to move... Slavery?” Lu Chuan suddenly answered.
According to legend, this guy wanted to liberate slavery, so he made a reform and liberated slaves.
But at that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty gradually flourished, and he always fought with the Dongyi tribe and was militaristic. Finally, the slaves and aristocrats liberated by him in the battle of pastoral areas betrayed and lost to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, it is inevitable to think about his failure.
It is not difficult to understand that slavery has existed for too long. I don't know how many years it took from the ancient tribes to the Xia Dynasty.
In these times, slaves have long been cultivated into servility, rooted in their hearts and blood.
It's like a bird raised in a cage since childhood.
Its owner feeds it every day, but when one day you give it freedom to fly away, it may not come out.
Because it has adapted to the life in the cage, it doesn't know what freedom is, and it won't survive in the free world.
The same is true of Dixin's reform.
It's easy to get rid of the shackles on slaves, but the servility rooted in the heart can't be destroyed for a while.
It was no use for Di Xin to untie their shackles. They were still more adapted to the life of slaves, so the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to use slavery for a long time after the great Shang Dynasty.
On the other hand, these slaves also belong to the private property of those nobles. Will the emperor move their interests?
