Chapter 330 Liberate the Slave

Vader.

Historically, this name was not very famous because after the Vida civilization, the island state rich in gems and tea in the southern Indian Ocean would have a more brilliant civilization, and its name was Ceylon.

In ancient Chinese literature, in the Qin people’s description of this country, the statement is more vivid - the Lion Kingdom.

When Qin entered the feudal society, the Weida people were still in the slavery period. Not only Vida, but its powerful neighbor to the north, the Mauryan Dynasty was also a slave country.

Therefore, here, trafficking of people is legal, and as long as the buyer and seller can agree on a suitable price, the transaction will occur. As for whether the slave himself is willing, it will not be considered at all.

During a happy banquet, everyone spoke freely. Apart from the heads of the Meng tribe, only the generals and staff at all levels in the Qin army were left. Although Fu Ge and the others didn't know much about the customs and habits in the South China Sea, the Meng people were free to do so.

"The noble guest of Daqin, I want to tell you that the Vida merchant ships that General Ying encountered were probably not cargo, but slaves!"

The person who said this was Wu Tianhan, the leader of the Meng clan. This old tribe elder showed full cooperation sincerity as soon as the Qin army arrived, which also allowed his tribe to escape a catastrophe.

The bloody fact of the Piaoren has already appeared in front of the Meng people. What a miserable end if they go against the Qin army? As an experienced tribe elder, Brother Wu Tianhan has made up his mind that only by tied up the Qin ship, its tribe will not be annexed, and perhaps it may not be able to benefit from it.

"Slaves, there is such a thing. Aren't those slave traders afraid that the slaves will gather together to resist?" Some young generals in the Qin army asked in confusion.

For the young, the term slave was far from strangers, especially after experiencing the large-scale resistance war with his own eyes, no one dared to force the people to death.

"The generals were joking. In the Vida and the Mauryan Dynasty, slave trading was a legal transaction and protected by the state." Brother Wu Tianhan wiped the sweat beads on his head, explaining to the rising Qin generals and generals like an alien.

Brother Wu Tianhan was wiping his sweat, and Fu Ge was also ashamed of the advanced ideas of his subordinates. Qin State was not only in culture, technology, science and other aspects at that time, but also in terms of ideology, it entered feudal society more than a thousand years earlier than other countries in the world.

Therefore, some things that seemed normal to the Qin people, when they arrived in places like Vida and Physicians, became fantasy jokes.

"Ship Fu, where my Qin army is powerful, how can we allow slave trade to happen? Please order the troops to be sent, and we will rescue those suffering slaves--!"

The young people's passion and impulse were really irresistible. Before Fu Ge came up with any strange ideas, some young Qin generals began to volunteer for a fight through alcohol.

"Rareless, war is a major military and national event. How can you let it be said casually? Look at your appearance, why don't you retreat quickly!" Seeing Fu Ge's face as if he was thinking something, Han Xin, the general, hurriedly said in circles.

"promise!"

When a few passionate guys saw that they poked the hornet's nest, they quickly turned their eyes and ran backwards.

The banquet finally dispersed. When Fu Ge got up and returned to the military tent, it was already the moon-hanging forest. It was not until this time that Fu Ge, who had been silent, smiled faintly and murmured softly: "Saving the slaves, it's a blessing that these kids can come up with such a great slogan!"

"Ship Fu, what you mean is-!" Han Xin, who was following the side, was shocked and blurted out.

"General, don't you think the slogan of 'liberation of slaves' is suitable for the next battle? I think there is nothing more appealing than allowing slaves to win freedom." Fu Ge asked with a smile.

"But, in that case, we will have to risk fighting with Vader and Son-Power. For the kings and nobles of these countries, slaves are their guarantee of wealth. How could they enjoy a luxurious life without slaves?" During these days, Han Xin also had some understanding of the basic profile of the countries in South China, so he did not agree with the bloody slogan proposed by the passionate young people just now.

"General, when our expeditionary soldiers boarded the land of Vader or the kingdom of Sonbu, who would be our ally?"

"Of course, the hostile ones are the royal family and allies that occupied there before. In this unfamiliar place, will we have allies?"

"Of course, weak tribes like the Meng tribe are our allies, and oppressed people like slaves will also be our allies, as long as we can provide better conditions than they were originally." Fu Ge said confidently.

Unifying all the forces that can be united is the first thing that the Qin army wants to gain a foothold in the South Asian subcontinent.

Otherwise, with an army of just over 10,000, even if one can build an empire with a huge territory with force, it will collapse in an instant even if one can rely on his military power.

The Qin State's occupation of South Asia was not for the purpose of land, but for the purpose of plundering wealth. On this premise, it would be the ideal result to give some of the allies the benefits and tie them to the rumbling chariot of Qin State.

"General, I once heard Elder Wu Tianhan say something that people in the Sinpo Kingdom are divided into four levels. The first class Brahmins are mainly those religious officials representing temples, the second class is Kshatriya, that is, those princes, generals, and the third class is called Vaishya, mainly referring to some civilians, and the most part is called Shudra, that is, slaves. In the laws of this country, people determine their high and low status as soon as they are born. Brahmins are the masters of the world. Shudra can only serve other castes meekly. Shudra cannot accumulate private property, and cannot have any disrespectful words and deeds to the higher castes. Brahmins and Kshatriya have the right to seize everything from Shudra. Do you think such a system is fair?"

Of course, Fu Ge's words were not heard from Wu Tianhan Ge. In fact, he summarized them from later memories. The reason for his clear understanding is to thank his middle school teachers for his in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation of Indian history. Otherwise, Fu Ge would never be able to express the Indian caste system clearly.

"It is certainly unfair to judge heroes by their origins." Han Xin blurted out.

Compared with India, although Qin has transitioned to a feudal dynasty, the concept of judging heroes by origin cannot be eliminated overnight. This is also the reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted "Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister."

When Han Xin was in his hometown of Huaiyin, he was humiliated by his crotch due to poverty. One of the reasons why he had talent but was depressed and unsuccessful was because of his poor background.

Therefore, when Fu Ge said the provisions in the "Monu Code" of the "Shendu Kingdom", Han Xin empathized with it for a moment, so excited that he could not suppress his emotions.

"Since it is unfair, then some people will be angry. Since some people are dissatisfied, as long as we can win over these people, it is a force that cannot be underestimated against the enemy. Do the general agree?" Fu Ge said.

"But, Vida, these places are too far from our Qin Dynasty. Our army can only expand to the Ogalaba area so far. Therefore, in Vida, the power of our expeditionary force cannot occupy an advantageous position. If those forces that depend on or allied with us will become independent in the future, wouldn't our liberation action be shot in the foot?"

Han Xin pondered for a moment and expressed his worries.

Indeed, the barriers caused by different races are difficult to eliminate. The reason why the Meng people can blend with the Qin people so quickly is because they are also yellow people, while the people in Vida and other places are different. Their ancestors come from more Western Europe, and they belong to the white Aryans with high noses, blue eyes, and light hair.

"Haha, the general is too worried. I don't have the ambition of completely occupying a country as big as a poisonous man. There is only one purpose for my Daqin to go to Nanyang, that is, to plunder and plunder. As long as it is a good thing, I will do anything that can make my Daqin people live better and more nourishing. However, if anyone wants to threaten our fundamental interests, then I will wipe out this potential threat without hesitation."

Even fools will not do things that are not good. Of course, people who are as smart as Fu Ge will not do things that have made face but have no benefits.

Since the caste system of the Sindu Kingdom will exist, it will naturally have its own reason. What's more, after centuries of slavery education, most people in this country have become accustomed to their situation. They recognize their identity as slaves. Even if someone shouts slogans to liberate them, they may not receive much support and response.

"All I want is a name, just a loud slogan for sending troops. All I want is to find so many allies in the enemy's territory who are unwilling to fate. That's enough."
