Chapter 41: The First Tiger Guard
Qin Hou has been in power for fifteen years. Qin Ye, who is 41 years old this year, faces this tide of sound, and doesn't know what to do for a moment.
His father, Qin Xianghou, was a father with a somewhat impatient personality. He had been obsessed with imitating the heroic spirit of his ancestors all his life. He rode horses and hunted, performed military warriors every day, and led the tiger guards to the battlefield countless times. He was not even very interested in women, and in the end he had only one son like Qin Ye.
Qin Ye was born with a genius and a heroic Qin Hou. He was quiet and could not be energetic for those who commanded the Qin people, expand their territory, and win the decisive battles for thousands of miles. He would rather read books quietly and fiddle with the strange flowers and plants in the palace garden. Sometimes the exquisite small objects produced by Han, who dismantled and decorated the craftsman, could also pass the day. After getting married at the age of 18, he also loved the wife of the Sun family. He put on an eyebrow pencil in the boudoir, which was much more interested in the training of fighting skills than holding a sword. A few years later, they also had a cute and intelligent daughter, Qin Yan.
The Queen Xiang was naturally not satisfied with Qin Ye's son, but in Qianhaiyuan, the Queen Xiang was deceived by the Zhao people and rashly led the main force of the Qin army to easily lead the Qin army to abdicate and defeat. Qin Ye was the only one who could inherit the position of Qin Hou.
At that time, Qin Zhong, the Lord of Heyang, did not have the idea of taking over the position, but the Sun family's historians firmly supported Qin Ye's takeover, and the Nangong family was vague and did not clearly stand on Qin Zhong's side. The atmosphere in the entire Qin State was sad and he had great resentment towards the Lord of Heyang who did not send troops to participate in the Qianhaiyuan war. At that time, if Qin Zhong wanted to act rashly, the possibility of success was not high.
So in the end, the one sitting on the throne of the king of the Jin Yao Kingdom was Qin Ye who was completely at a loss.
Since taking over the throne, the Qin State's power has been shaky, and the Heyang Lord is domineering and difficult to control. Zhao State has caused trouble and oppression. Rouran's power has risen sharply and repeatedly invaded the border. The vitality of the country's energy has been slow to recover, and the national use is becoming increasingly scarce. The Qin State's business is not prosperous, and the only one that produces the most is agricultural products, and it has to consume a large part of its own country. The mines that produce gold mines and salt ponds that produce salt are all in the hands of aristocratic families and cannot subsidize the Qin Marquis directly to the Central Government. It turned out that the Tiger Guards were circulating in the Western Wilderness and captured Rouran in a large number of cases, so they had endless income. However, with the Tiger Guards' destruction, the wealth was exhausted.
Such a difficult state affairs left Qin Ye helpless. In the third year of his reign, Mrs. Sun left behind a thin baby boy, Qin Zhao, and died because of some secrets in the Sun family in Nanze.
Qin Ye was heartbroken and had lost his exact understanding of the outside world at that time. He knew that the Zhao people also took advantage of the situation to launch troops to invade the territory and fought fiercely with the Shi family in front of Shuangying Pass. Finally, Qin Ye married the daughter of the Zhao Hou family to end the war. The Mrs. Rong lived in the Qin Palace, and Heyang Jun was the wings outside. After giving birth to his son Qin Rong, he even wanted to support Qin Rong as the prince of Qin Hou and turn Qin into a vassal state that strongly vassal state.
Qin Ye was almost discouraged and disappointed with state affairs, but was just at the mercy of others. The only thing he felt sorry for was his children. However, he did not expect that after his daughter grew up, he took the initiative to step up and work hard to sort out these state affairs for him.
She led Sun Yang, the new generation of Sun family, to help, and first established a city guard army, which at least gave Qin Hou a little force. Shi Wuju, the leader of the Shi family, thought that Heyang Jun was restrained. She also worked hard to sort out the finances of the Qin Hou's directly under the territory, cleared a large amount of abandoned fields and let slaves farm for the common people, repaired water conservancy and rewarded farming and sericulture, and reduced the city taxes, and introduced a large number of Qi merchants to Qiyang City, which finally restored some vitality to Qiyang, and even accumulated some wealth that could initially reestablish the Tiger Guards!
She personally educated her little brother, and maintained Qin Zhao's status under the step-by-step pressure of Mrs. Rong and Heyang Jun.
The younger generation of Qin State also gradually grew up. Shi Wuju of the Shi family won consecutive battles and blocked Rouran's army outside the shrinking territory of Qin State. Even the Zhao people were afraid of the new head of the Shi family who had stuck the Shuangying Pass. Sun Yang, the new head of the Sun family, was able to support the Qin Hou's lineage. Although the Heyang Jun family's group is still strong, it is no longer in the slightest power to resist.
What's more important is that the Qiang Zhao, who has been eyeing the north of Qin, has been under the throne of the new Zhao Hou ten years ago, has also caused a lot of turmoil in the past few years. The Qiang Zhao Hou deprived many of the original family's fiefs and directly led prefectures and counties, and sent officials to rule. The Qiang Zhao family has been in chaos many times, and the prosperous and turbulent chaos two or three years ago was even more terrible. Although these unrests were suppressed under the iron fist of Zhao Hou, Zhao State's pressure on Qin State has been reduced a lot for a while. Not to mention that Zhao Hou is ambitious to start a war against Wei State, and wants to cross Rong Qi and return to the heart of the Central Plains, hoping to become the new overlord of the entire Donghua world!
Therefore, these changes made Qiang Zhao's attitude towards Qin State somewhat changed from oppression to win over. The focus was on thinking of Qin Rong, who had the blood of Zhao, as the prince of Qin Hou. Through this method, Qin State was firmly tied to Qiang Zhao's chariot.
Qin Ye could swallow anything and pretend to be invisible. The son left by Mrs. Sun, Qin Ye couldn't bear to let him lose his deserved position as the prince.
In the past, he was just procrastinating, for fear that he would rashly make Qin Zhao the prince, and perhaps bring unpredictable danger to this child.
However, as the pressure on Zhao State decreased slightly, under Qin Yan's management, Qin Hou's strength gradually increased, Qin Ye couldn't help but think about it again. After all, he couldn't delay it!
That's why he acquiesced to Qin Yan's move to re-establish the Tiger Guard. If the Tiger Guard can re-establish, the nominal commander would be Qin Zhao. With this strength as a backing, Qin Ye would make him the crown prince!
However, this thing that should have been carefully arranged was caused by a young man named Xu Le in the Shi family, which caused an unprecedented melee in Qiyang, and Yan'er also implicated the re-establishment of the Tiger Guards in front of all the Qin people in Qiyang, and he also guaranteed that this young man named Xu Le was the first person to re-enter the Tiger Guards!
Didn’t this offend Heyang Jun and Ruishi Army?
The shouts rang out in waves, surging under Qin Ye's feet.
Qin Ye slowly glanced at the faces of the people under his rule, and everyone was so excited that they trembled all over. The Tiger Guards were the pride of Qin, the pride of Qin people in Qiyang, and the name that Qin people in Qiyang could not bear to mention for fifteen years!
Now this young man from the Shi family who aroused the blood of Qin people all over the city, making people suddenly recall the proud days of Qiyang. It was because of him that the Qin people in Qiyang heard this long-lost military call again in front of Qinhou!
Almost every Qin people in Qiyang have relatives from the previous generation who can be related to the Tiger Guards. After the news of the entire Tiger Guards being wiped out, the scene of crying all over the city seemed to be yesterday.
And now, the Tiger Guards are about to re-establish!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qin Ye was silent for a while and then looked at the ministers around him. These ministers looked different, either excited, disapproving, or anxious, but did not say a word. This matter was too big, and it would inevitably cause huge waves in Qin State. No one knew where to stand to ensure his status!
Qin Ye looked at his children again, and Qin Yan was still bowing deeply to the ground, while Qin Zhao stood beside his sister a little confused. Sun Yang signaled to him slightly, and Qin Zhao followed him down. Sun Yang took a breath and bowed deeply to Qin Ye and asked him down.
For these two children, just bet once. Yan'er is smart, meticulous and cautious, and must be more considerate than me, an incompetent prince. Her incompetent father...
Qin Ye waved his face with a calm face and tried his best to say in the most majestic voice: "I have long planned to re-establish the Tiger Guard Army. Today, I will announce the whole country to re-establish the Tiger Guard Army. With the Marquis Qin Zhao as the commander of the Tiger Guard Army, Zhao'er must make a practical arrangement and repay the Marquis to learn about it at any time! Xu Le, the Shishi family, punished him to remove him from the Shishi family, join the Tiger Guard Army, hold a sword to fight for the people of Qiyang to redeem his faults today! The Marquis will know about the King of Heyang and the King of Heyang is an important official in the country, so he will naturally make a decision impartially... and that's what I said!"
After saying this, Qin Ye seemed to have consumed all his strength, sat back on his seat, and signaled the car to turn back to the palace.
The Qin people in Qiyang stopped when the Qin Hou Tie Ruyi waved, and listened to Qin Hou’s words with breath and concentration.
After a moment of silence in the field, a huge cheer suddenly erupted again. I don’t know how many swords were pulled out again and pointed to the sky above Qiyang City!
"Re-establish the Tiger Guard! Re-establish the Tiger Guard!"
Amid the cheers that were higher and higher, Qin Hou's carriage lowered the curtain and returned to Qin Palace under Sun Yang's escort.
Qin Ye could no longer support his sitting position behind the curtain and leaned against the wall of the carriage board.
I hope Yan'er can see it correctly and do it right... But as a Qinhou, she has never seen such a passionate morale in the city since she took over the throne...
Could it be because of the young man from the Shi family?
Qin Ye recalled Xu Le's face, but found that he hadn't paid much attention to what this young man looked like.
Anyway, this is something Yan'er is worried about, so she should know how to arrange everything...
Among the people who stayed, Qin Rui suddenly sneered loudly and waved his hand and said, "Everyone left! Qiyang actually regards us as a great enemy. What are we still annoying here and what victory to offer? If there is any war in the future, rely on the Tiger Guards! Let's go back to Heyang to receive punishment!"
Under his greeting, the soldiers and three heroes of the Sergeant Army took action, carried the bodies with the wounded, and broke a way out with the cheers of the Qin people. Feng Po Huang Fei and Cao Neng also left with hatred, while Nangong Yang glanced at Cheli indifferently. Cheli rolled his eyes. Finally, Nangong Yang and his brother Nangong An waved their hands and also followed the brigade.
Before leaving, Qin Rui turned around and sneered at Xu Le.
Xu Le is now full of lawsuits. Seeing Qin Rui's actions, he sneered and compared him with a throat-cutting position!
Do you think this matter is over? I still think this matter is over!
Qin Rui was so angry that his face turned pale because of Xu Le's actions, but he knew that it was no longer suitable to fight, so he turned around. Behind him, Shi Bao was also secretly learning Xu Le's movements, which were cooler than this throat-cutting position, and he had a lot of fun playing.
As soon as the Sergeant Army left, the cheers of Qin people in Qiyang fell silent, and then rushed towards Xu Le with greater enthusiasm.
"The first person who reenters the Tiger Guard!"
Xu Le and several brothers were a little unsteady because of such voices and enthusiasm.
Why did I suddenly become the hero of Qiyang City? I just tried my best to find a way out...
However, looking at the enthusiastic faces and the Qin people in Qiyang who had just drawn their swords for him, and still had blood on their bodies. Thinking that many people were killed or injured today, Xu Le sighed in distress.
I can't say that I really have to do a good job in this Tiger Guard... I feel bad about owing favors...
They are all the ideas of the man Yan Hou Nu who is very thoughtful. I am afraid of dealing with such a person, but I just can't avoid it!
