Chapter 427 Civilization Progress Civilization Regression

Qin Shaoyu had some skills, and his skills were not bad. In fact, the entire Tang Dynasty had already shown a strong martial arts idea at this time. This martial arts idea's praise for martial arts is comprehensive and three-dimensional, rather than a single verbal praise.

Whether it is military thought, military theory, military operations, and military technology, the Tang people fully demonstrated their love for military affairs and the results of their learning.

Even if he is separated from the military field, he will transform himself into a swordsman in his daily life. Since he cannot defend his country, he can at least save the world and the people. This influence has brought a fresh and vigorous wind to the entire Tang Dynasty society and had a profound impact on the entire society.

Qin Shaoyu is a young man, so he also yearns for martial arts. Interestingly, Qin Shaoyu is very spiritual about this martial art. Although he only learns a little bit, his skills are good enough.

But what we need to explain here is that the skills are good enough. Why should we emphasize this point? That is because according to Qin Shaoyu's current kung fu, it is enough to teach these flower shoots and some small thieves a lesson.

But he is really far from killing on the battlefield.

....................................................

"Thank you, the hero...!"

After a while... the uncles of the child who Qin Shaoyu had just saved came to the front, but no one expected that the uncles of these children were not simple characters.

The man who took the lead in saying thank you to the hero is only 32 years old this year, dressed as a farmer, but you would never have imagined that this person was once a member of Li Shimin's flying cavalry.

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, the left and right camps were established at Xuanwu Gate, and they led the generals of the guards and called them "Flying Cavalry".

It was Li Shimin who prepared for the second Xuanjia Army.

In the process of selecting the "Flying Cavalry", Li Shimin paid special attention to its source, selected the level of guards, and selected households at second level or above to ensure the noble bloodline of the Flying Cavalry, and at the same time, he ensured the loyalty of the Flying Cavalry to the emperor.

The second is the figure, and it must have a magnificent appearance.

The flying cavalry chosen by Li Shimin was divided into large rulers in the Tang Dynasty. One foot of the big ruler is about 0.3 meters today, and the small ruler is 0.25 meters today. The six foot of the big ruler is 1.8 meters and the small ruler is 1.5 meters. From this, it is inferred that the large ruler should be used here. 1.8 meters in the Tang Dynasty should be a very tall crowd.

Again, it also requires strong strength and strong military skills. The flying cavalry must test bows and horses four times, that is, rides and shoots four times and hits. This is directly related to Li Shimin's great importance to cavalry.

And you must be promoted to five.

The Tang people's "Quoguan" is similar to today's weightlifting. It is difficult to accurately point out the weight of the Tang people's Qiaoguan. The martial arts practiced during the Empress of Wu of Wu had the "Quoguan, seven feet long and three and a half inches in diameter". From the record, this is a log, and the weight is difficult to estimate, but it will not be too light.

The requirements for strength can be seen from another test, that is, those who have thirty steps of the five negative rice solution, this test will still test strength.

Tang Yi's unloading rice is about 100 kilograms, and he can carry this weight and walk thirty steps. Tang's thirty steps are about 44 meters tall, which is a great test for strength, physical strength, and willpower.

But you don’t have to think about it and know that the power of the selected flying cavalry is very impressive in this way. The requirement for soldiers’ strength is very important in the era of cold weapons. Due to the special requirements of the use of weapons, it is easy for users to gain an advantage in confrontation if they have the advantage in their strength.

Whether collective or individual confrontation, strength is one of the decisive factors. Therefore, this army has extremely strong combat capabilities. This is in line with Li Shimin's original intention of establishing this army.

The selection system of flying cavalry is already very different from the selection of the Sixteen Guards, and it belongs to the recruitment system. This is a special organization in the Sixteen Guards system, which has the nature of an emperor's private army, but its affiliation has not undergone essential changes.

Qin Shaoyu would never have dreamed that the man in front of him who looked very similar to a farmer and had a simple face would actually be a former flying rider.

Seeing the other party calling him a hero, the young man Qin Shaoyu hurriedly replied to the gift. However, just as Qin Shaoyu bowed slightly to return the gift, suddenly, the farmer directly pinched the man who patted the flower with his hands and asked, "Where is your old nest... How many people are there in the nest."

Just a few words, the farmer's question was different from Qin Shaoyu's question just now. Although this man looked like a farmer, his murderous aura appeared in his words.

The man who was photographing the flower made his body tremble involuntarily.

Qin Shaoyu was slightly shocked. Just when Qin Shaoyu wanted to tell the farmer that the other party was very hard, suddenly, the man who patted the flower and said with a trembling lips: "If I said that, can I let my life go..."

"Ah..." Qin Shaoyu was ridiculous. He didn't expect that he had just beaten this guy like this, and this guy would never let go, but now the farmer just pinched the other person's throat, and the other person actually wanted to say it.

But what is even more incredible is that the farmer actually refused and said directly: "You will die...everyone who dares to come to Zhaojiazhuang to take pictures of children will catch one and kill one. This is the rule set by me, Zhao Hu.

You only have two choices now. One... Let me tell you about the den where you are shooting a flower, and I will kill you directly. You will be more relaxed. Two... You are stubborn to the end. At that time, I will let my brother take action and cut you to death with one knife.

Of course, it won’t make you die so easily. It will cut you into two hundred knives before letting you die...!"

As soon as these words were said, not only did the man who shaking the flower even more powerfully, but Qin Shaoyu didn't know what to say for a while. He really didn't expect that the other party looked no different from the people here, but what he said was really very cruel.

"It seems that you chose the latter..." Zhao Hu stepped back, then looked at another man beside him and said, "Zhao Xing, cut him...!"

"Hello..." The man named Zhao Xing smiled and took out a sharp knife from his sleeve: "My name is Zhao Xing. I have worked in the Ministry of Justice for ten years, but I am stupid and can only be a jailer.

Everyone has been promoted and left, but I am still a prison guard. The only thing I am proud of is that if someone cuts a person, he will die after cutting a person for half a day, but if I, Zhao Xing, cut a person for three days...!"

"Stop talking, stop talking... I said, I said... Our people are all in the cave behind the ancient well at the west end of your village, and there are three children in it... I just don't know if it's what you are looking for..."

The man who took pictures of the flower really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to tell everything he knew.

Just after the man who patted the flower said it, Zhao Hu exerted force directly, and with a "click", the man who patted the flower was crushed directly by Zhao Hu. Then the man who patted the flower tilted his head and died.

"Uh..." Qin Shaoyu stepped back slightly. For some reason, the dead were by his side, which made Qin Shaoyu feel a little scared.

At this time, Zhao Hu showed a honest smile again: "Hero... Let's go to where this guy said, maybe your niece is there..."

Qin Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he calmed down. He then glanced at the dead man who was shooting flowers and said: He died like this, is it okay... the government will not pursue it..."

"Don't worry... shooting a child is a death sentence. Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty are a bit loose, the people below all agree. Not only will he die, but the others must also die...!" Zhao Hu said firmly.

This is the zero tolerance for human traffickers in ancient times. During the Qin and Qin dynasties, the rulers punished human traffickers very simply, one word... beheaded!... In the Han Dynasty, hehe... Because of Emperor Wu of Han, the younger brother of the famous Empress Dowager Dou, was abducted by human traffickers. After searching for more than 10 years, he found his miserable younger brother.

If human traffickers angered the supreme ruler, this is like seeking death.

Starting from Dou's son Emperor Jing of Han, the Han Dynasty changed the punishment for human traffickers. It was not satisfying to use the Qin Dynasty's beheadings before, so it became aggravated.

The specific punishment is to behead the human traffickers and then dismember the body so that everyone knows that this is the end of human trafficking.

At the same time, there are also punishments for the purchaser. If the purchaser knows that the person was abducted and still makes a purchase, once it is verified that the crime is the same as the human trafficker, it will be the same.

Whether a cow is awesome... I will kill you when buying or selling, and it is a death penalty. Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, how did you say that it has become civilized and progressive, because although the attack on human traffickers during the Qin and Han Dynasties was unprecedentedly powerful, because they were all beheaded, there was also a problem of indiscriminate importance.

During the Tang Dynasty, the trafficking of women was very serious, so governments at all levels of the Tang Dynasty carried out severe crackdowns, but began to deal with human traffickers as appropriate. If the arrested human traffickers sent women to wealthy families as slaves or to brothels as prostitutes, the traffickers would die and would be hanged and executed.

But if the woman is sold to someone else as a wife, the trafficker will save his life and be sent to the army for three thousand miles. There will also be treatments for those buyers, but it is much lighter than the Han Dynasty and is only sentenced to three years in prison.

However, such punishment will only make the traffickers more and more arrogant and rampant. Soon in the Song Dynasty, the loose laws made the trafficking of children rampant again. Fortunately, although the emperors of the Song Dynasty were relatively literary and artistic, they were not ruthless to human traffickers.

Since officials at all levels and those local tyrant families have a large number of slaves, the source of these people is a problem. The emperor of the Song Dynasty stipulated that when purchasing slaves, it was necessary to ask whether they were voluntary or not, and also have accurate identification.

At the same time, the handling of the crimes of the gang is also different. If human trafficking is sold into the Liao Kingdom or Xixia, then I feel embarrassed. All human traffickers, regardless of their masters and slaves, are beheaded. For domestic trafficking, the leader will be killed, and the rest will be exiled to Zhuyazhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hated human trafficking very much. There is a clear provision in the "Ming Dynasty Law": the first criminals committed by the gang were beheaded, and all the followers were sent to remote areas, and they had to carry shackles ranging from 50 to 100 kilograms on the road.

For those accomplices who have been perpetrated, they have to continue to be exiled because their crimes are not enough to behead them. However, this exile is indefinitely endless. To be honest, if the trafficker dies in the border area, let his son continue to be exiled. This is their retribution.

Haha... It's just a pity that we have become civilized and progressive now, and we can't be more savage. So if we lose our children, we can just look for them by ourselves. Twenty or fifty years, depending on your own persistence, even if we find them, your son may not recognize you. Then you will admit that you are unlucky. Who makes us a civilized and progressive world?

No one can tell whether it is progress or regression.
