Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 273

The next day, a royal decree was issued, and 30 soldiers in the frontier were able to return to their hometown after receiving the decree. Winter was coming, and the empire would resume operations in winter to make up for the losses against the Xiongnu as much as possible.

Just after Qin Wangzheng signed the alliance, when the people of Qin thought that the empire would not be victorious in a short time, they did not know that the city of Xianyang was already quietly preparing for the next war.

The soldiers of the Blue Sky Camp were able to return to their hometown, and they also received a note before leaving. This time they returned a week earlier than before!
This is probably also a signal that the training will continue in the spring of the second year, and it will be more severe than before.

The Great Qin soldiers who originally fought with the generals of the empire are getting old, and it is no longer realistic to let them go to the battlefield. The empire will conduct another selection, which will be next spring, and this time the selection will be more severe than before.

Selection must be based on competition experience, weightlifting ability, high jump and long jump and other aspects. They must achieve resounding results in each county and be among the best.

This policy is Li Zuoche's suggestion. It is suggested that the selection should be based on the imperial examination system. What the Great Qin wants is elite soldiers. The fewer the better, the closer the better.

After several years of development, Da Qin no longer lacks soldiers, but it lacks elite soldiers who are accustomed to fighting!
This is the purpose of selection, it’s about being good but not too much!
During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, countries frequently invaded and exchanged wars, and the population dropped sharply. They forced conscription as a last resort. Now that the Great Qin has ended the chaotic times since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, it has gradually begun to recuperate. The empire has gradually entered the right track and has slowly developed.

The conscription system in the Warring States period was no longer practical. There was no need to select soldiers for training from house to house. More men should be engaged in farming to provide the empire with a steady stream of food and supplies.

The economic base determines the superstructure. Only when there is plenty of food and grass can the empire free up its hands to do more things.

The rumbling winter is coming, and the cold wind is like a sharp dagger piercing deeply into the eyebrows of everyone, making the people feel a biting feeling inexplicably.

However, briquettes in the empire have begun to spread, and the common people can rely on natural energy for heating. Moreover, when the Great Qin occupied the Huns, they could once again collect coal from the extremely cold northern regions, transform it into briquettes, and transport them to the Central Plains.

Coupled with the constant competition for sheep, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty could use sheepskin coats to keep warm and solve the problem of soldiers.

The people were able to spend the winter warmly, and they did not forget to thank His Majesty for his contributions and appreciate the contributions of the little child slave.

It is true that nothing major happened in the Winter Empire, but after Poluona returned to the country, it aroused the thunderous anger of Sārishoka.

Although Daqin signed the covenant, he wanted to take a crucial treasure from him.

In his opinion, the Lightning Beast Five Heavenly Jue was so ingenious, and if he handed it over to Daqin, it would have cost him half his life.

Therefore, Sarishuka hated Porona very much. Although she was her own sister, Sarishuka still had cold eyes and a cold tone. He swung his long whip and beat Porona heavily.

Porona's back was bright red, and she let out a hysterical wailing sound. Sheri Shuka seemed to have exhausted all her strength in this blow, as if trying to deprive Porona of her life, causing cold sweat to break out from the backs of the onlookers.

Sheri Shuka is indeed ruthless, even his own sister will not let go, and he is ruthless.

In the eyes of all officials in the court, it is undeniable that Porona offered a national treasure in order to occupy the Western Qiang Kingdom. A treasure is nothing compared to thousands of miles of land!
But Sari Shuka is reluctant to part with this treasure, it seems that having the Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord is like having the whole world, there are only two of this kind of treasure in the whole world, how can they be handed over to Daqin.

Therefore, Shari Shuka said coldly: "Porona, you go to Daqin again and ask the emperor if there are other treasures to replace the five-day thunder beast. The five-day thunder beast symbolizes royal power, and this king seems to be unable to compromise!"

Porona looked up at Sari Shuka, the implication of this sentence seemed to mean that he could give up the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lords!

But as soon as Porona raised her head, Sari Shuka showed a ferocious face, slapped Porona's face heavily with a slap, and said coldly, "Did I make you look up?"

Porona had no choice but to nod, picked up a tooth that had been pulled out with difficulty, and held it tightly with both hands.

Unexpectedly, Sari Suka was unwilling to give in and said coldly: "Poluona, considering that you are my sister, I will not kill you, but don't be ungrateful!"

But Porona said indifferently: "The Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord did not ask for instructions from his humble position, but the Great Qin Emperor asked for it on his own initiative!"

All the officials in the palace looked at each other, with shocked expressions on their faces. They thought it was Porona who sacrificed the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord and offered it up, but they didn't expect it was Qin Wangzheng who offered it.

In this way, the Fifth Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Beast is of great significance to him. I am afraid that without the Fifth Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Beast, Great Qin would not have easily reached an alliance!

Shari Shuka's face darkened, showing a ferocious expression, thinking of having to lose the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord, he became furious, and poured all the anger squeezed in his heart on Porona.

He kept slapping Porona's face and humiliating her. This was in front of all the officials. I didn't expect Sarishuka to be so cruel.

But the officials did not dare to stop him, Sari Shuka has always been good at forbearance, jealous of evil, once he sensed that the officials were dissatisfied, the official would be mercilessly executed the next day, the officials had no choice but to watch Porona Beaten mercilessly.

After venting for ten seconds, Sari Shuka showed a faint smile, took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, seemed to be immersed in this feeling, and instantly said coldly: "Porona, I will give you one last chance!"

Porona seemed to see the hope of survival, and said lightly: "Please give instructions from the king, I will fulfill my mission!"

Sari Shuka showed a faint smile, and said solemnly: "Use all your wisdom to solve the problem of the Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord!"

"This king is not willing to part with the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord, you must convince the Great Qin Emperor!"

"If the Emperor of Qin still disagrees, then he must invite the envoys of Qin to the dynasty to reminisce about the past, and I will come to negotiate in person!"

After all, he looked at Porona fiercely, and grabbed her neck tightly, making her feel a sense of suffocation, as if a flying knife was stuck in her throat, and said lightly: "Remember this feeling, once you can't finish it Task, I will suffocate you to death!"

Sari Shuka's face was icy cold, which made all the officials in the court feel cold, and cold sweat broke out on his back. Sari Shuka was so cruel, but he could do anything, so he could only silently beg for the smooth progress of the plan!

Sari Shuka said coldly: "Let's go now, I will definitely get news next spring!"
