Chapter 6963 It’s true

Chapter 6963 It’s true
When the bright light and loud sound of the stun bomb faded, Qingyang and Yu Fu squinted their eyes and saw Zhou Wu lying on the ground motionless, as if dead. There was nothing they could do. You could say that Vibius was a rookie and couldn't get past the fifth level in close combat, but Vibius's stun bomb finishing move really left countless old men speechless.

With Zhang Xiao in front and Zhou Wu behind, if this thing exploded at close range, most of the guys who opposed Vibius would be knocked down directly.

To be honest, the power is just so-so, but this thing is really a hard-controlled finishing move. Especially Vibius and Bedivere, these two guys would study in the casino when they had nothing to do, constantly modifying and mastering it. Now, Vibius' finishing move not only creates strong light and sound, but also controls the frequency, allowing the shock wave to resonate with the cochlea of ​​most people!

What a joke. Once it's thrown, it's okay for those who are far away like Qingyang and Yu Fu, but for those who are close like Zhou Wu, even if his combat power is comparable to the sixth level, if the frequency of the stun bomb controlled by Vibius really resonates with the cochlea and auditory ossicles, he will still be dizzy.

From the current perspective, even if one is a seventh-level god, or one who has internal energy leaving the body, if this thing happens to him, even if he is not completely stunned or controlled, he will probably become unbalanced.

"Vibius, what do you mean!" Qingyang pointed at Vibius and asked angrily. While scolding Vibius, he raised his hand and swung a light whip at Zhou Wu, tying Zhou Wu up, and then pulled Zhou Wu to Yu Fu's side.

There was no way. Vibius's finishing move was too disgusting. Even if Qingyang had the protection of heaven and earth, he could not guarantee that he could escape from the battle before the opponent threw the finishing move. Once he failed to escape from the battle, Vibius's two finishing moves would be enough to take down Qingyang directly.

This is why Vibius's melee combat is very bad, but he is not afraid when he really meets an opponent. His finishing move is quite effective against all melee opponents.

"That's enough. My brother lost the initiative and was beaten a few times. He was about to lose, so I just pulled him back." Vibius said calmly, "I can't just watch my brother get beaten to death by you. Even if it's a grand martial arts performance, this is not good."

Vibius was not afraid at all when facing the questioning of Qingyang and Yu Fu. He was not a weakling. What's more, Tigidius was simply transforming his mind and will into basic qualities, thinking that he could defeat Zhou Wu in a head-on confrontation by doing so. The result was obvious. Zhou Wu, who used his special talent to strengthen his muscle fibers, could burst out a limit far beyond Tigidius.

"Besides, you have completed the mission, so there is no need to do this." Vibius looked at Qingyang and the other man and said, "Such a time difference should be enough for Huang Tao to run to a position where we can't catch up. There is no need for you to continue to stop us."

Qingyang and Yu Fu looked at each other. Compared to Gideius, Vibius was obviously more talkative. Seeing the other party speak like this, the two of them didn't say anything more. Instead, Qingyang helped Zhou Wu up, nodded to Vibius, and left quickly.

"Tigidius." After Vibius used the linkage to stabilize Tigidius's state, he asked, "How is it? How do you feel after fighting Zhou Wu head-on?"

"There is not a single bit of faith in his punching power, it is just pure strength. He must have used his willpower and special talent to strengthen his own muscles. This strengthening is likely to have penetrated deep into the fibers, and some of it may have even penetrated into the cellular level." Tigidius gave a direct answer after hearing this, "This method requires a very high level of refined control of talent."

"If you don't use the balance of mind and body to transform your own beliefs and will, can you defeat the opponent in a one-on-one situation?" Vibius asked casually while looking at Qingyang and others who had already moved away.

Some of the contestants from Rome came purely for the competition, while others were tasked with understanding the current state of the Han Dynasty. Tigidius's task was to understand to what extent the Han Dynasty veterans could develop a single talent under the current circumstances.

It is obvious that Zhou Wu is a guy who is extremely imaginative in developing his talents, and can even represent the future direction and upper limit of a certain talent.

"I'm afraid not. Although the opponent is only at the fifth level of smelting, his power is very condensed. Even if I attack with my will during the fight, it will not be enough to disintegrate his power." Tigidius shook his head and said, "His control and development of his own power is far beyond my level. If he can reach the sixth level of smelting, he will quickly reach the level of the top guys at the sixth level. The Han Dynasty is probably also studying how to improve the ultimate combat effectiveness of low-smelting."

Because of the problems of natural disasters and the curse of world consciousness, the number of smelting levels is constantly decreasing. Even for empires like the Han Dynasty and Rome, it is difficult for the existing guards who have smelting to reach the level of 100,000. Moreover, low- and middle-level smelting accounts for the majority, and the difficulty of climbing up is also increasing. In this case, without increasing the number of talents, digging deep into the potential of talents is also a solution, and Zhou Wu's situation is completely in line with this cognition.

"At present, it seems that some auxiliary talents have great potential for development, or you can go the heavy armor route of the Han Dynasty. Other routes, at present, seem to have little future." Tigidius stood up and tidied the dust on his body, then spoke with a serious expression.

"Actually, there is another way." Tigidius said with some caution.

"What route?" Vibius asked curiously. He was just interested in this matter, not an expert, so he was somewhat interested in the other routes mentioned by Tigidius.

"That's the path that the Han Dynasty is taking now, a large-scale advancement route, with a large number of veterans with the same talents, relying on numbers to constantly test and verify, and constantly advance research." Tigedius thought for a while and said, "This is actually also a path, but this path has very high requirements for elite talents. The Parthian Empire has taken this path before."

Although the Parthian Empire was defeated by Rome, this was an institutional problem rather than a problem of the Parthian Empire's talent development.

"This is indeed a road, but it may not be a good road. Let's refer to other options first. Who should we look for next?" After hearing this, Vibius thought about it for a while and understood what his teammates were talking about. However, this road had the precedent of Anxi. Vibius felt that he must be cautious. The empire must make more progress on the road of talent.

Tigidius heard this and did not think there was anything wrong with what Vibius said, but he still explained it very carefully, "The Han army is developing the talent of self-adaptation very quickly. So far, the smelting time of self-adaptation has been shortened from nine to ten years at the beginning to about seven years now. The efficiency of the Han Dynasty is improving."

Talents that are used by many people will be optimized because of the use of the gods. If the gods are willing to publish the optimization content, relying on the common parts, ordinary people can also complete smelting faster or obtain stronger talent effects without losing the upper limit of talent strength.

This is also the case with some obviously heaven-defying talents. For ordinary people, as long as they achieve double talents, they can complete the smelting within three to five years. Yes, I am talking about the incineration talent. This talent was optimized by the Parthian Empire after hundreds of years, and it even experienced an era when the essence of heaven and earth almost completely declined.

As an elite talent that restrains almost all talents, there is basically no need to talk about qualifications. It only takes three to five years to complete the smelting. This is enough to show to what extent the Parthian Empire optimized this thing when it was alive.

In fact, the adaptive energy has been optimized from about nine years for a genius like Li Jiong to the level where even a guy with a little talent can smelt it in about seven years in just over a decade. This is enough to show how much effort the Han Dynasty has invested in this aspect. Or to be more direct, what the Han Dynasty is doing now is actually the same as what the Parthian Empire did back then - using some powerful talent with unique effects to lay a foundation for the soldiers of the entire country.

This was also the point that Tigidius wanted to tell Vibius, but after Vibius understood it, he was a little afraid of the whole operation. After all, that was how Anxi was killed. Burning to Death was indeed a very powerful talent, and it did have a powerful effect to deal with almost all talents, but in the end, he was both successful and defeated by Burning to Death!
But if you think about it carefully, as long as Fen Jin masters it deeply and reaches double talent, not to mention the qualifications, he only needs to follow the steps and it will only take three to five years to smelt it successfully. To be honest, this thing may be the most suitable talent for quickly training the Imperial Guards.

"Based on your experience, if the Han Dynasty wants to lay a foundation with adaptability, how many years will it take to optimize the talent of adaptability to the point where it doesn't matter what the aptitude is? If we follow the steps, it will take about five years to successfully refine it." Vibius suddenly asked.

“I’m afraid there’s no hope. No matter how much you compress the talent for adaptability, it will be difficult for ordinary people to reach five years. This is a cumulative talent. The Han Dynasty is only making rapid progress now. In the later stages, every day’s progress will be very difficult.” Tigedius said seriously.

At the same time, Chen Xi, who heard these words outside the small world, found answers to many things that he had not understood before, but felt were somewhat strange, in Tigidius' words.

"General Huangfu, is there anything wrong with what he said?" Chen Xi asked Huangfu Song.

"Yes." Huangfu Song said as a matter of course, "Not to mention that talent smelting itself depends on the collective. The larger the scale of the collective, the more support it can provide. Just the simplest one is that the talent itself is constantly being optimized. Every elite talent created by a famous general will be optimized by the creator and the user during the use process."

"After all, no matter how well-conceived a talent is, you will inevitably encounter some strange situations when using it. Occasionally, the talent you conceived is like this, but when you use it, it is used like that." Han Xin said with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Yes, just like the adaptive talent, the current adaptive talent has developed to be mainly used to bear one's own armor and resist will damage, and the adaptability in other aspects is weakening." Huangfu Song said with a sigh. Although this thing is one of his black history, he has to admire Chen Xi for making him like this. He can only say, sir, times have changed!

"Although it is still an adaptive talent, the core of the talent has shifted. After all, soldiers are not fools. They know best how to survive on the battlefield." Huangfu Song looked at the battle in the small world below and had become open-minded about his own dark history.

“Don’t listen to old man Huangfu’s nonsense. The so-called core shift of talent is actually simpler. Everyone who refines this talent will have his own preference, but only those who survive the most can pass on their experience. When the number is small, some occasional luck can be relied upon, but when the number and scale are very large, the one who survives the most is the most correct.” Han Xin glanced at Huangfu Song and explained to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was thoughtful after hearing this. He knew this very well. Isn't it a portrayal that only those who survive can produce output? And more correctly, only those who survive can inherit.

"War is the most effective way to screen talents. No matter how good your idea is when you construct this talent, in the end it falls on the soldiers and what they show is the real talent. Just like the legion I constructed for you, the talents of the soldiers have basically become force field control based on the smelting of this talent." Han Xin said as if it was a matter of course.

"This is quite normal. Soldiers are not tools. They are here to defeat their opponents and gain more benefits, not to die on the battlefield. Those who go to the battlefield knowing they will die either have lofty beliefs or are forced to do so." Wu Qi agreed with Han Xin's words.

"So as the war goes on, you will find that the talents of the veterans under your command will start to converge, and their talent combinations will show a certain consistency." Sun Wu said with some nostalgia, and then the three T0 gods looked at Bai Qi together. After all, everyone is at the same level. The three of us have spoken, so you should say something too.

"Ah, I was just recalling the history books I read, and missing the helpless way people died in the Qin Dynasty." Bai Qi said with some emotion.

"The tyrannical Qin Dynasty deserves to die." As an eyewitness, Han Xin almost patted his chest and said that the Qin Dynasty deserved to die so violently.

"What's the idea of ​​you trying to find out why Daqin died?" Chen Xi looked at Bai Qi strangely.

"It's just a little strange, I just want to see what's going on." Bai Qi sighed, "Damn it, the law is corrupt, how can I not die?"

"Is it a problem of legal corruption?" Han Xin said with a dark face. As an eyewitness, he deeply felt that the end of the Qin Dynasty could not be described by the four words "legal corruption".

"But after reading the records in history books, I have this feeling: if the First Emperor had not distributed land, the Qin Dynasty would have been doomed. If the land had been distributed..." Bai Qi looked at Han Xin and smacked his lips.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean!" Han Xin said to Bai Qi with dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Wu'an, be rational. It is impossible for the First Emperor to issue land." Chen Xi curled his lips and interrupted Han Xin's next words. As to why the First Emperor did not issue land, Chen Xi was neutral. Although Chen Xi knew very well that not issuing land would mean the corruption of the law and the foundation of the country's demise, but in reality, there was not so much land, what the hell could you issue!

There were only 500 million mu of arable land in the early Han Dynasty. According to the setting that mu is required for the fifth-level Qin lord, the Qin Dynasty's million-strong army to destroy the country would need at least million mu. Qin Shihuang was not an excavator that could dig million mu out of the ground and give it to everyone.

Since there are not 600 million mu, of course there will be no distribution. In order to prevent the old Qin people from making a scene, they even have to suppress them. The devaluation of the title started from the unification!

This is also shown by a large amount of historical data that before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the lowest-ranking official in the Qin State, that is, the fifth-level rank, could get by very well. Not to mention the 500 acres of land, the state itself also provided food and accommodation, and provided rice, vegetables, sauce, and some condiments for meals.

Although these things may not seem like much in later generations, during the Warring States Period, they were enough to allow people to live decently. Moreover, relying on their titles, these people were able to accumulate some surplus wealth. There are also many records about these Qin soldiers with fifth-level titles lending money to people around them before the unification, and then earning the interest.

In addition, the identities of these people ensure that even if others cannot repay the money, there are other ways to get the money back, such as turning the other party directly into their own slave.

Regardless of whether this behavior is right or wrong, just talking about this life, it is indeed very good for a veteran who has reached the fifth-level rank. Putting aside morality, plundering the locals, and being very happy.

However, after the unification, these Qin soldiers with titles were soon arrested for committing crimes and unable to pay special fines. Their names were recorded as criminals. Even many unlucky children with ninth-level titles were arrested in this way to build palaces for the First Emperor.

Think about it, before the unification, it was basically the landlords who were rich and exploited the local people, living a happy life. But after the unification, not to mention that they didn't get what they should have gotten, almost all the small landlords who had made military achievements before were bankrupt within three years and imprisoned for five years. How did the Qin people feel?

Of course the Qin people would do what they could, but if they couldn't, they would rebel!

This is also why when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, the Qin people did not even react. After Liu Bang made the three laws, the Qin people even cheered and welcomed him. There was no other way. It was too miserable. They had all become prisoners. How could they not rebel?

You should know that the tile inscriptions unearthed in Zhaobeihu Village next to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang showed that in the late Qin Dynasty, the situation had become extremely outrageous. Among the 32 tombs, 19 had tile inscriptions, 11 of which had titles, and among these 11 with titles, except for one who came as a supervisor, the remaining ten came here to work and repay their debts.

What’s even worse is that the highest title among these ten people is the fourth level title.

Let's not say those excessive words. If the fourth-level title was not changed, even if he did not receive the food and rice subsidies issued by the state, it would be impossible for him to get to this level with just the 400 acres of land of his own. Not to mention the Qin Dynasty, from ancient times to the present, in any era, with 400 acres of arable land, he could not get to this level.

Normally speaking, under such conditions, the locals would basically be lending money and exploiting the local people. As a result, they were insolvent and bankrupt, so they came to Mount Lishan to build the mausoleum for the First Emperor. How would the Qin people feel? The Qin people were numb. To be honest, for them, it would be better not to unify.

At least before the unification, the Qin bamboo slips that were unearthed basically showed that these low-level nobles were buying meat, buying wine, lending money, borrowing money from others, stealing money from others, making money from lawsuits, etc. Although it was not a good thing or a good thing, it was obvious that they lived a very good life.

At least it's worthy of my risking my life on the battlefield.

As a result, after unification, despite three years of bankruptcy and five years of imprisonment, the old Qin people did not rebel. Most likely, they did so because the First Emperor was still alive, and they hoped that one day the other would have a change of heart and give everyone their land.

Of course, the old Qin people probably never thought that there were only 200 million mu in the world, and they could not collect 600 million mu to distribute to everyone. The First Emperor knew this, so he simply did not distribute it and waited for these people to die of old age. When they die, their debts will be paid off!
"Isn't that also a violation of the law?" Bai Qi snorted coldly.

"There is some difference. The First Emperor didn't say he wouldn't send it. He just said we need to wait. We didn't see that it was actually sent to the areas around Xianyang." Chen Xi said with a smile. It was simply a joke from hell.

"Is Daqin like this?" Han Xin asked with some doubt. Although he felt that Daqin was crazy, he had never analyzed it in this way.

"Yes, they died because of the lack of rewards. So after the Xian Han took over, they made very profound improvements in this regard. That is, as long as you are a regular army, you must have food and wages, and they will definitely be paid to you without any delay." Chen Xi said very seriously.

This is also the reason why the Han army was still very capable when the Han Dynasty was about to end, because the soldiers were actually given food and wages, which is also the basis for the saying that "they will live off the Han salary for generations."

Even during the reign of Emperor Ling, after Dong Zhuo defeated the Qiang people, Emperor Ling squeezed out a batch of rewards from the empty treasury. That was the 9,000 pieces of silk that Dong Zhuo gave out. That thing was really given by Emperor Ling.

So for the Han Dynasty, you can say that they had no money and paid little food and wages, but they really paid according to the actual amount. If you did not receive food and wages, it was likely that you were not a regular army.

That’s right. This outrageous system of having to pay food and wages gave rise to an incredible operation, that is, temporary workers. So the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was even more short of money, created temporary workers such as the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang, Southern Xiongnu, etc. in order to pay less food and wages. They didn’t have to pay!

I have to hold on for two more days before the holiday. What should I do if I don't want to save any manuscripts? I feel so desperate.
