System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

The situation in Badi is relatively complicated. Half of it is local powerful people like Zhang Qingfu's family, and the other half is tribal. They belonged to the Qin State in name, but in fact they refused to obey the rules.

Many fish have to have a reason if they want to clean up Badi completely.

"Han Fei, Badi has owed taxes for so many years. It's time to collect them."

According to the law, the tax burden of the Ba people is about 100 yuan, which is less than half of the 240 yuan per person of Qin's head tax. In addition, there are thirty pheasant feathers used as arrow tails, which is even easier.

Even though Qin adopted a soft policy towards the border areas, Badi never handed over a penny.

Han Fei knew that the county captain was not short of money, so he planned to clean up Badi: "Here!"

Under the instigation of the local powerful, the Badi tribesmen refused to pay taxes and launched an attack on the Yi Dao. Many people characterized them as rebels.

An army of 10,000 people who had been ready to go appeared around the county town when the Badi tribesman fired the first arrow.

The tribesmen were deceived by the powerful people. They really thought that the many fishes were embroidered pillows. Her achievements were like the tail feathers of a pheasant, which was purely to scare people.

As the Ba people approached, the Qin troops lit up their fires one after another, and the fires lit up were like long winding dragons, illuminating the entire Yi watermark as if it were an endless river of flowing fire.

The firelight dispelled the darkness, revealing the true appearance of the tribesmen. They were either barefoot, with simple cloth or animal skins wrapped around their waists, with buns or broken hair, and expressions of anger and fear.

They didn't seem to expect that there were so many Qin troops on guard, and they seemed to be waiting for them.

The Badi tribesmen held wooden shields in one hand and willow leaf bronze swords in the other. Under the loud shouts of the leaders of the tribes, they shouted something and danced, and the panic on their faces disappeared.

Many fish stood on the top of the highest mountain and had a clear view of the situation below: "Thousands of people sang, tens of thousands harmonized, the mountains shook, and the valleys rippled."

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, these are all in vain.

The attacks of the various tribes of the Ba people were disorderly. They started in a hurry, relying only on their lonesome courage. They did not have suitable weapons, let alone go into battle. They only rushed forward in a swarm carrying wooden and simple bamboo ladders.

These siege fighters were painted in white powder and stood out in the dark night.

They were not divided into queues, they did not form an attacking formation, and there were no golden drums and flags, but whoever wanted to go up.

"This..." The Qin soldiers who surrounded the tribes of Badi were dumbfounded for a moment, "Why do they dare to charge us?"

You know, Lord Lieutenant's cavalry and navy are so powerful that they shock the world!

"Maybe it's because of their stupidity?" You Qin soldiers said disdainfully.

The corps commander said seriously: "No, they look down on us infantry!"

After the rise of cavalry and navy, the Qin soldiers in Bashu County spontaneously divided into camps and competed with each other. The infantrymen felt inferior to their colleagues and were deeply ashamed of them.

The words of the corps commander aroused the competitive spirit of the soldiers: "Let them take a good look today, we are not easy to mess with!"

Another move by the tribesmen angered Qin Bing even more.

When they launched the charge, they left some people behind to light a bonfire, sit or stand, sing, dance, and even drink!

Look at those people wearing the most gorgeous feather crowns, their figures are swaying, they are obviously drunk!

Isn't this insulting?

The Qin soldiers were excited: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Ba people came roaring like a herd of reckless beasts, all holding shields and swords, shouting non-stop, as if they had endless energy.

A rain of arrows shot down from the mountainside, and the Ba people who had no formation skills were shot and fell to the ground in piles.

However, as long as the singing continues, one group of them will die, and another will follow. By the end of the battle, the Qin soldiers were all numb. They raised their bows and crossbows mechanically without deliberately aiming. As long as they were aimed at the direction with the largest number of people, they would surely be able to hit one or two.

"It's so stupid." Many fish mused. They couldn't deal with these tribesmen in Badi according to the same policy as the Ba people in Shu. They had to be more forceful.

Many Fish ordered the flag to be waved, the army was dispatched, and they cooperated from far and near to divide the Ba people's troops into several small pieces and capture them alive!

Facing the mighty Qin army, the chief of the Badi tribe suddenly woke up from his drunkenness.

Many fish asked expressionlessly: "Why did you rebel?"

The clan leader chirped: "You Qin people are unfaithful and want to steal our food!"

The other tribesmen stared at the fish with red eyes.

Duo Yu said: "If I ask you to pay taxes, are you robbing your things? If you had said you were unwilling to pay taxes, I would have sent troops to annihilate your tribe."

The patriarch frowned: "It is stated in the "State Order" that we Ba people do not need to pay taxes."

Hearing this, many fish raised the corners of their lips and revealed a meaningful sneer: "That's right. I don't know a single Chinese character, but I know the "State Order". Who told you?"

The patriarch turned his head and remained silent.

Han Fei kept a straight face and explained word for word: "Did you know that the "State Order" only allows you to be exempted from Yao service, not tax exemption?"

The clan leader is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, but his main focus is not to cooperate.

Do many fish care whether he cooperates? People are in your own hands, so don’t you have the final say in the testimony?

"The Badi Feng family, the Zi family, and the Ying family instigated the Ba people to attack Yi Dao. They should be punished for their crimes!" Many Fish said coldly.

"Here!" Qin soldiers shouted excitedly.

Going to war means a lot of military exploits! This is the hard-won opportunity that the Qin soldiers have been waiting for!

The tribe leader looked at the many fish bathed in the firelight in disbelief. How did she know which family it was? Could it be that she can really communicate with gods as rumored?

Han Fei was stunned. These families were the powerful and stubborn families in Badi mentioned in Zhang Qing's letter. Regardless of whether these families were involved in this matter or not, they were charged with rebellion!

"I curse you! The mountain gods will block your steps, the river gods will drown your crops, the mountain elves will make you lose your way, and the plague will follow you closely!" the tribe leader cursed viciously.

Qin Bing, a Ba native who could understand Ba language, glanced at each other, with the uneasiness of being cursed in their eyes.

Many fish's soldiers sent the clan leader to heaven with a sword: "My lord has been blessed by heaven, how can you curse it?"

The Ba soldiers realized that the Lord Commander was a goddess! She is even more powerful than Bimo!

As if to confirm the words of the soldiers, on the mighty flowing river two miles away, a dozen warships flying black and red flags were heading this way.

At this time, the wind was blowing from the north, and the warships all unfolded their rigid sails, like a group of sharks with their dorsal fins exposed, breaking through the river menacingly!

"what is this?!"

"The rumors are true! The Qin people really have navy!"

"River God, please show your power!"

The people of the Badi tribe looked like their faith had collapsed. They didn’t understand why the Qin people were so favored by God!
