Seeing that Huo Lie personally brought people back, Su Xun had a smile on his face, it was so sweet.

"Pfft-"

He swung his sword and cut off a person's legs, and he went straight to Huo Lie without stopping. All the Fire Tribe soldiers who rushed up along the way were killed by him one by one.

The smile on Huolie's face froze, and he was dumbfounded, hallucination, this must be an illusion.

"Patriarch! Run! It's too late, the Xia people are too cruel!"

Huo Lie didn't react until a guard pulled him back, and ran after him in a panic.

"Pfft-"

The distance between the two was not far away, Su Xun opened his mouth and spit out a water arrow.

The water arrow penetrated Huoli's calf, and Huoli fell into the snow with a plop.

"Patriarch!" The guard went to pull him.

Just as Huo Lie remembered, Su Xun jumped up and landed on his back and stepped him back. At the same time, he swung his sword and cut off the guard's neck, and his head flew up.

The other guards watched this scene in horror, their faces turned pale, and they held bronze spears, but none of them dared to step forward, their hands were shaking.

Because Su Xun's performance was too brutal, no one could block a sword in front of him, and his red-dyed white robe made the scalp tingle.

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who oppose me will die!!"

Su Xun's blood-stained long sword landed on Huo Lie's neck, threatening a group of people with one sword.

Chapter 1169

"Kings!"

Hearing the sound of killing, Ye, who was ambushing in Yuquan Mountain, rushed over with his men and surrounded the fiery guards.

Now the members of the Fire Tribe had no hope of getting lucky, and dropped their weapons one after another and fell to the ground.

"You...you can't kill me, you can't explain to Star Tribe if you kill me." Huo Lie's voice trembled, lying in the snow, but at this moment he couldn't feel the cold at all.

He really couldn't figure out why he lost, it seemed like he hadn't even started yet.

He came all the way from thousands of miles away, thinking that Xia Kingdom could just be destroyed with a single hand, but he didn't expect that he would be destroyed.

It's more like a special delivery of heads.

"You don't need to worry about that."

After Su Xun's words fell, the long sword swung across.

"Pfft-"

A stream of blood soared half a meter high, Huo Lie's wide-eyed head rolled down like a ball, and the white snow on the ground was turned red by the scalding blood.

Now that he has formed a death feud with the Fire Tribe, Huo Lie must die.

"The rest, tie your hands and take them back."

Outside Xia City, in the ice and snow, young and strong members of the Fire Tribe were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied upside down.

The previous battlefield was covered with red-stained snow, and corpses fell in the snow.

There are still many injured, Xie Qing is leading the doctors she trained in the past six months to treat them.

It is said that the treatment is actually a simple bandage and hemostasis. Whether he can survive depends on God's will.

Fortunately, it was winter. If it was summer, the wound would rot faster and be more dangerous.

"Your Majesty, nine hundred people were killed, five hundred were injured, and two thousand were captured. The rest escaped in the chaos."

After Jian made an inventory of the battlefield, he reported the results to Su Xun.

"Tell me about our casualties." Su Xun said.

Jian's eyes darkened: "Our side lost 250 soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and injured [-]."

Su Xun was in pain for a while, his soldiers were different from those of the Fire Tribe, each of them was a baby who had been trained for several months, and he felt distressed every time one died.

There are only a thousand soldiers in total, and two tenths of them died in this battle. Can you not feel bad?

But fortunately, after this war, the Xia Kingdom could unscrupulously annex the small tribes to replace the Fire Tribe.

Even if the Fire Tribe still has four or five thousand soldiers that can fight, in the eyes of other small tribes, their deterrent power is not that great, and they cannot stop them from surrendering to Xia Guo.

After all, Xia Guo has the strength to defeat the Fire Tribe and does not need them to pay for food. It is not difficult to choose between the two.

"Drop 200 people from the auxiliary soldiers into the soldiers to fill the vacancies." The auxiliary soldiers were originally reserve soldiers.

"Yes."

"Record your meritorious deeds. Anyone who kills more than two enemies in this battle will be officially promoted to a citizen and moved into the city."

"Yes, but Your Majesty, what about the prisoners of the Fire Tribe?" Jian pointed to those kneeling prisoners. More than 2000 people are really difficult to deal with. Once a riot occurs, it will be a big trouble for Xia Guo.

Su Xun looked at the kneeling captives, and walked over with his sword: "You invaded my territory and killed my people. You should have been hacked into pieces, but the lonely king is kind, he can't bear to do evil, and he is willing to give you a way out." .”

"From now on, you will all be criminals of our Xia Kingdom, and forgive your crimes by working hard. Those who have worked for three years without making mistakes or have made great achievements will be promoted to wild people, and those who have not made mistakes or made great achievements in ten years will be promoted to citizens. In case of war, everyone Those who participate in the battle can be directly promoted to wild people, and those who kill three enemies can be promoted to nationals."

"You form a team of ten people, and the team supervises each other. If you find anyone who is plotting to escape, or who is passive and sabotage, you can report it. If it is confirmed that there is such a thing, the reporter will be promoted to the wild people if he makes a contribution, and the person who is reported will die!"

"The lonely king hopes that you will wait for the mouse tail juice!"

There are more than 2000 young and strong. It is a pity to kill them. After all, they are all ready-made labor and soldiers.

With them, whether it is iron production, land reclamation, city construction, or road construction, it will be much easier.

The reason why the deadlines and conditions can be promoted to wild people and nationals is to give them a hope of struggle so that they will not think about doing things every day.

The introduction of this system to encourage them to report each other is to make them mistrust each other, so naturally it is impossible to make troubles in series.

Jian and the others were stunned, they didn't expect such a unique method, what a genius!

In this way, these criminals monitor each other, and they don't need to bother at all.

When the prisoners of the Fire Tribe heard that instead of being slaves for the rest of their lives, they still had a chance to be promoted to wild people and citizens, their eyes were a little brighter.

And after hearing that reporting each other counted as meritorious service, they looked at the clansmen around them with distrust.

After all, most adults will always speculate on each other from a malicious perspective.

There must always be a place for these criminals to settle. Su Xun marked a piece of land opposite the Wild People's Walled City, and asked the leading soldiers to guard the criminals to build thatched cottages by themselves.

After all, criminals cannot be treated the same as wild people and nationals. They are only eligible to live in thatched cottages, eat two meals a day, and can only eat the most inferior food.

Of course, a leader must be elected among the criminals, and the leader's treatment can be better, so that he can be more faithful as a dog to manage his own people.

From Yemin City Walled City to Xiacheng City Gate, there were old and weak women and children standing there, looking at Su Xun and the soldiers who were covered in blood, their eyes were full of pride.

This is their king, the warriors of the Xia Kingdom, who defeated the invaders and protected everyone.

And the soldiers held their heads high and their chests high, their aura even higher than when they were fighting.

Tan Ying and Bai Yu Xie Qing greeted them at the gate of the city, holding a piece of black silk cloth in their hands.

This is dyed with the sap of a herb, and currently only dyes red, black and blue.

In ancient times, cloth was dyed with the sap of flowers, plants and trees. The color dyed by Xia Guo is still not so uniform, but the technology is gradually improving.

"Kings."

Tan Ying handed the silk cloth to Su Xun, and they paid more attention to Su Xun's prestige in public.

Su Xun knew what it was, took the silk cloth and shook it open, a blue word Xia was embroidered in the middle of the silk cloth, surrounded by a few simple red dragon patterns.

This is a flag, the first flag in the Great Wilderness.

"Xia, Wansheng!" Su Xun held up the flag, and the black-bottomed blue dragon-patterned Xia flag fluttered in the wind, and a five or six-meter-long blue dragon flew around the flag with bursts of dragon chant.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"

All the soldiers and civilians shouted at the same time, their faces flushed with excitement, and they screamed hysterically with their throats raised.

Then the big flag was planted on the top of the city.

Now only one flag has been made, because there is not much silk cloth left, and the remaining dyed silk cloth Su Xun has other functions, and he is not willing to use it himself.

Those silk cloths were dedicated to Xing, after all, Xing had to give an explanation for killing Huo Lie this time.

At present, Xia Guo does not have the strength to collide with the Star Tribe. After all, the Star Tribe has several 10 people, and there are gods. Even if Su Xun can fight again, if Xia Guo is destroyed, it will be useless if he is left alone.

Chapter 1170 Military Merit System, Family System (There are three more chapters in the afternoon)

This battle exposed many problems that were not considered before.

For example, in the military merit system, it was only said that wild people can be promoted to citizens by beheading two people.

But what kind of rewards can the people use?

There are not many materials in this period, and there are not many things that can be used as rewards.

After all, things like gold and jade have not yet created their own value here, unless Su Xun introduces the currency system, but the timing is not right now.

So since there are not many real things to reward, then honor these false names that can elevate the status.

Su Xun then promulgated the first version of Xia Guo's military merit system, the title system.

The titles are baron, viscount, earl, marquis, and duke, and there is no king for the time being.

Each title is divided into three classes, the third class is the lowest, and the first class is the highest. There are fifteen titles in total, and only citizens are eligible to be knighted.

The one who kills two enemies is a third-class baron. When counting military achievements, the enemy's head can be chopped off as a proof, and he can get Tian Yiqing, a house, and a servant.

By analogy, the greater the merit, the higher the title, the higher the status, the more land, the bigger the house, and the more servants, which can stimulate soldiers to fight.

Moreover, Su Xun is also using this to promote the development of private ownership of property, speeding up the transition of Xia Guo from a collective big pot to a family as a unit.

Now there are iron tools, which can be used to make iron plows. When he goes to the Star Tribe to exchange for a large amount of millet seeds, next year the family will be able to rely on arable land for self-sufficiency.

After all, the strength of women and children is ridiculous, and the plowing land is completely enough. If some cattle are domesticated to help plow the land, the efficiency will be greatly improved.

Those who have the title of military merit can let the servants who are given to them farm the land or raise livestock.

In this battle, a total of more than a hundred people were knighted, most of them were third-class barons, and the highest titles were Jian and Qi, both of whom were first-class barons.

Hua and Chen are the second-class barons, and Ye was unable to kill the enemy because he brought people into ambush. He has no title, but he is rewarded with pottery, meat and other materials.

It is exciting for those who are knighted, because they can have their own land and houses, and they can also be assigned a servant to work, isn't it good?

Of course, the servants cannot be cashed in for the time being, because the current population is tight and there is a shortage. It would be too wasteful if the more than 2000 captives were divided into servants.

So the servant owes it first and cashes it later.

Jian was named a first-class baron, and he was given a house, three lands, three servants, and some meat.

He carried a piece of dried bacon to the back mountain outside the city, where a woman was already waiting for him.

That woman's name was Yan, and she had the first relationship with Jian a month ago, and then they only recruited each other when they wanted to, and never went to others.

Yan often helped him sew animal leather armor, sharpen knives and guns, and make bows and arrows, and the two became more and more affectionate.

"Health."

Seeing Jian, Yan showed joy on his face, and the two embraced together.

"Yan, this is for you." Jian gave her the bacon.

Yan was not polite either, because she knew that Jian had won a lot of rewards, which was not bad.

The two sat on the ground hugging each other, and then rolled up in the snow. The snow was very cold, but the two of them were very hot, and their roars came from the snow.

People in this period are like this, as long as they think about it, they can have a shot anytime, anywhere.

If it wasn't for Su Xun's order to strictly prohibit sex on the street, it is estimated that there would be another grand event in Xia City.

Half an hour later, both of them were satisfied, and hugged each other tightly: "Yan, from now on I will only look for you and not other women, will you be the same?"

"Yeah." Yan nodded, how could she not want to enjoy a man like Jian alone?
