"Everyone, come together and take them all down for me!"
Xiao Zhengtai felt uncomfortable seeing the other party's arrogance.
Judging from the luxury of the car and the arrogant appearance of the entourage, he was probably the family member of one of the ministers in the court.
The wealthy households in the city can afford such a car, but their status is low and they don't dare to go head-to-head with the army, let alone have such an arrogant tone!
"Shua..."
After receiving the order, the soldiers who were originally following the carriage immediately moved out, surrounded the opponent's carriage, and pointed their spears directly at them. As long as Xiao Shota gave the order, they would immediately launch an attack.
I have to say that they must be well-trained soldiers. The action is unanimous. If nothing else, the momentum alone is scary!
"You...you are bold! Do you know who I am?"
When the young man saw that instead of giving him face, he ordered someone to do something, he immediately became angry.
"Hmph! I don't want to know...!"
Little Shota stood in front of the carriage, holding his shoulders and commanding the soldiers, "Beat me!"
"yes!"
Han Xin pulled down the arrogant entourage and beat him up.
"Ouch...ow..."
"Don't... don't... be gentle..."
"Stop fighting... Ouch! It hurts me so much!"
Han Xin's fists as big as sandbags fell like raindrops, making the follower scream.
Other soldiers also began to attack other followers, and even young men were pulled from the carriage and beaten!
With the support of the young master, what are they afraid of?
"We are the family members of General Li Xin and Li. If you... don't stop, my uncle will blame you and make you all sit together!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man quickly moved out of the backstage.
The Qin Dynasty was different from other dynasties. Since Shang Yang's reform, the people in the Qin Dynasty had been jointly punished. If one of the people was guilty, if their neighbors did not report it, they would suffer together.
If a soldier is guilty, he will be punished by his troops; if his troops are guilty, he will be punished by a fine!
There are so many of them, and if they are investigated, even more people will be implicated!
"Hmph! No wonder you don't take these soldiers seriously. It turns out it's because there are people in the court!"
Xiao Zhengtai snorted twice.
Just as he had guessed, these people were indeed relatives of the imperial court!
"Now that you know it, why don't you stop now! Ouch...!"
The young man held his head in his hands, his nose and face were bruised and swollen from the beating.
"It's more important to fight if you know about it. General Li is an upright and upright man. How could there be a family like yours that is so arrogant? Today I am taking care of it for General Li!"
Xiao Zhengtai's face straightened up and he continued: "Keep hitting me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers responded, and their fists fell more frequently.
"You...who are you? Give me your name!"
The young man wondered who dared to attack his uncle after learning his name.
"Ying Feiyu!"
Koshota smiled and gave his name.
"Okay, let them go!"
Seeing each other's noses and faces bruised and swollen after being beaten, Mr. Shota shouted to stop.
"yes!"
All the soldiers were ordered to stop immediately.
The young man breathed a long sigh of relief, got into the sedan in a dejected manner, and took a detour with his bruised and swollen entourage.
…
"Hongda, what did you do?"
When Li Xin saw his nephew coming here like this, he immediately became angry.
"Uncle, as soon as we entered the city, we encountered a small army and they blocked the way. Then... then...!"
The young man covered his face and said with great grievance.
"What? Didn't I send you soldiers in civilian clothes? Why were you beaten like this?"
Li Xin couldn't suppress his fiery temper and immediately started to protest.
This is his own nephew. He came to Xianyang City for a visit, but he was beaten like this as soon as he entered the city. If the news came back, there would be no place for his old face.
"There are many of them, and the leader is a strong man. We can't defeat him at all!" Li Hongda rubbed his face and grimaced in pain.
"Hmph! Do you know who it is? I'll send someone to deal with him later!"
"It was a five- or six-year-old kid who gave the order. It seems to be... called Ying Feiyu!"
"It's him?"
Upon hearing these three words, Li Xin's mouth twitched and he slowly sat back.
"Uncle, that kid is so arrogant. I even reported your name, but instead of stopping, he hit him even harder. He obviously has a problem with you. You can't let him go!"
Li Hongda said with added jealousy upon seeing this.
"Forehead……!"
Li Xin looked uncertain.
They have repeatedly impeached that kid, so that kid has opinions about him, that's for sure.
"That kid wouldn't have taken action for no reason. It wasn't because you were acting arrogant that you were beaten, right?"
Having learned the lesson from the Yan Le incident last time, Li Xin is very careful now and must ask clearly for the reason.
"No way, uncle, you are the general. They blocked the way. The entourage was just a little tougher. That guy didn't say anything and just ordered people to take action!"
"Do you know who that child is?"
"who?"
"Your Majesty's young master!"
"who……?"
Li Hongda seemed not to hear clearly.
"Young Master! He also saved your majesty's life and made a lot of contributions to the Qin Dynasty. He is a popular figure in front of your majesty!"
Li Xin gave a brief introduction.
"Oh...then my beating was in vain?"
Li Hongda gritted his teeth angrily.
I thought I could take revenge by coming to my uncle's house, but I didn't expect to encounter such a tough fight!
"Let's do this for the time being. I joined forces with other ministers to impeach that kid twice but failed. Let's look for another chance!"
Li Xin shook his head helplessly.
It was probably because his nephew's men were too arrogant that the boy ordered someone to attack him.
Impeachment because of this trivial matter has little chance of winning!
Your Majesty did not blame you for the failure of the previous two impeachments. If you impeach me again for such a trivial matter, you may anger your Majesty. The gain outweighs the loss, so just take the beating!
"Uncle, you were not like this before!"
His uncle had a bad temper and never obeyed anyone. What happened now?
"Alas...! Who caused you to encounter trouble? That boy is not someone to be trifled with. You will know later!"
Li Xin patted his nephew on the shoulder and ordered someone to take him down to apply medicine.
…
Xiao Zhengtai took the guards back to the mansion in Xianyang City, arranged accommodation for them, and then went to find Fan Kuai.
Let him publicize the conscription!
Ying Zheng only gave him a thousand people, and the remaining two thousand had to be recruited from the private sector!
In fact, it doesn't matter, there are many masters hidden among the people, and there will definitely be outstanding ones.
As soon as the notice was posted, it immediately caused a sensation among the people.
"What? The young master wants to recruit two thousand troops? Isn't it true that no one except the royal family is allowed to gather troops?"
"What do you know? The young master is deeply loved by His Majesty. He has also studied things such as curved shaft plow and papermaking for us. Even if he is stationing troops, he is also thinking about the Great Qin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty has agreed. Why are you worrying about it? Besides, the conditions given by the young master are more generous than those of the royal conscription. In addition to being exempted from the corvee, they also provide a monthly salary of ten gold, which is better than that of our county. Your salary is high!"
"But the conditions are a bit harsh. The minimum age is sixteen and the maximum is thirty!"
Xiao Zhengtai chose the age group with the best physical fitness. Unlike the imperial conscription, as long as he could still run, it would be fine.
And it is impossible to give such a high salary. All military achievements must be earned by oneself!
"Harsh? If you offer a high salary, you must have good physical fitness, otherwise you will be asked to take care of yourself in old age?"
"That's right, the notice said that after signing up, you have to participate in the selection. Those who pass will be rewarded with ten gold coins. Even if they fail, there will be a fifty gold reward!"
"That's good! I'm in my twenties this year, so I just meet the requirements. I'll sign up now!"
"Me too, I'm only twenty!"
"Oh! I really envy you. I happen to be thirty-one and past the age to apply. Otherwise, I would have to sign up. Even if I am eliminated, I will still get fifty dollars!"
