Chapter 375: Who is weaker or stronger, Bai Qi or Lao Ai?

"Three scumbags!"

Devouring Zhang Jie and Pirate Zhang Jie expressed strong contempt for the behavior of the other Zhang Jies being dominated by their brothers and having brains full of nothing but "stuff."

Compared to these Zhang Jies whose brains were full of yellow waste, the two of them were simply as pure and clean as white lotus flowers.

What is called "emerging from the mud without being stained"?

This is what is called emerging from the mud without being stained! (Proudly hands on hips)

"Tch, we are all Zhang Jie; do you think we don't know your thoughts?"

The despised Zhang Jies responded without weakness with the middle finger, which represents harmony and friendship.

Although they were a little bit "letting themselves go," did Devouring Zhang Jie and the others not want to?

It was clearly that they didn't have that ability, okay?

The water was terrifyingly deep; the Devouring world, where drowning a Zhang Jie who was a martial artist below the planetary level was like child's play, was one thing.

Even Pirate Zhang Jie was only barely able to protect himself in the Pirate world at present;

if he really attracted the siege of the Four Emperors' pirate groups and the Navy, he would lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.

Freedom is precious, love is even more expensive, but for the sake of life, both can be thrown away.

Before having the strength to traverse the world, they Zhang Jies were all law-abiding citizens.

In gaming terms, the three low-martial dungeons of Heaven-Dependent, Heavenly Dragon, and Water Margin had already been cleared by the Zhang Jies,

allowing them to act recklessly inside, shouting "I don't eat beef!",

becoming a Homelander who wants to go wherever they want and do whatever they want.

While the Pirate world and the Devouring world were high-level dungeons, and they were difficult games that had to be cleared in one life,

with no save files and no resurrection options,

the life-cherishing Pirate Zhang Jie and Devouring Zhang Jie chose to "follow their hearts" in unison.

"Hehe."

The two Zhang Jies whose thoughts had been exposed laughed awkwardly twice.

They also wanted to learn from Heaven-Dependent and Water Margin and let themselves go, but reality didn't allow it.

The mutual mockery ended, and the Zhang Jies' topic began to turn to daily life.

"Speaking of which, after the Shang Yang reforms in Old Qin, which led to the dismemberment of the person who carried them out, the system of granting titles based on military merit was established,

laying the foundation for Qin to leap from a small country in the western border to the position of hegemon of the Warring States, making the six eastern countries tremble at the name of Qin.

But why, in the Battle of Changping, where forty thousand surrendered Zhao soldiers were buried alive, with a murderous aura rarely seen in ancient or modern times,

was Bai Qi, known as the 'God of Killing,' who won battles his whole life, only a 16th-rank title holder, the Great Liang Zao,

while Lao Ai, this fake eunuch, was the highest title under Qin law, a 20th-rank Che Hou?"

Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie scratched the back of his head and voiced the doubt buried in his heart.

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie suppressed his laughter and said:

"Although the Lord of Wu'an and the Marquis of Changxin both fought bloody battles for Old Qin and the Zhao people.

But the Lord of Wu'an had asked for sick leave several times, dragging his illness and not coming out, missing several wars,

while our Marquis of Changxin had also been fighting against the Zhao people, the enemies of Old Qin, without the slightest slack."

"Haha! You tell me, isn't the First Emperor's mother, Zhao Ji, a Zhao person?

The elite soldiers that the Marquis of Changxin and the Empress Dowager fought side-by-side to kill were far more than those of Bai Qi!

Bai Qi killed people in units of ten thousand, but the elite soldiers who died under the Marquis of Changxin were in units of hundreds of millions!"

Pirate Zhang Jie couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter.

"Hmph!

Although Bai Qi's wars were won, how many Old Qin people died?

And our Marquis of Changxin's war not only won big, but also added two people to Qin.

Although Bai Qi is called the Butcher, is he as powerful as the Marquis of Changxin?

Do you know how many people survived under the Marquis of Changxin? Only two!"

Devouring Zhang Jie sneered, seemingly disdainful of Pirate Zhang Jie's answer.

However, the slightly hooked corners of his mouth exposed his true inner thoughts.

"Fulfilling the duties of husband and wife for King Zhuangxiang, comforting the mother for the First Emperor, and adding siblings—how great is his contribution?

Being above Bai Qi, what is wrong with that?

He is simply the six-sided warrior in this regard, the best spokesperson for the 'Donkey' in Wang Po's 'Pan, Donkey, Deng, Small, Idle' theory in 'The Water Margin'."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie touched his face with his hand, looking moved to tears.

"Is it harder for Bai Qi to win battles, or for the Marquis of Changxin to be the Wheel-Turning King?"

Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie still didn't answer directly but asked a question.

"A Marquis of Changxin has only appeared once in over two thousand years, while there are no fewer than five people comparable to Bai Qi. You tell me who has the greater difficulty?

I think the Marquis of Changxin far exceeds Bai Qi, for four reasons:

One, ancient and modern, domestic and foreign, I only know of the Marquis of Changxin as the true Wheel-Turning King,

while there are no fewer than five people who could fight better than Bai Qi, such as the Han military genius Han Xin,

the Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, the Changping Marquis Wei Qing, and the Tang Duke of Wei Li Jing;

Two, Bai Qi fought bloody battles with the Zhao people outside, while the Marquis of Changxin fought bloody battles with the Zhao people in the harem;

Three, Bai Qi asked for leave many times, while Lao Ai was busy with ten thousand tasks and never slacked for a moment;

Four, Lao Ai also successfully added two younger brothers to Qin Shi Huang,

even his biological father Ying Yiren couldn't compare to him. (Others please supplement)"

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie shrugged his shoulders and gave a summary answer.

"Alright, such a difference is actually very likely because the title system of the Qin state was different in different periods.

For example, during the period of King Huiwen of Qin to King Zhaoxiang, the military merit title system of the Qin state had a total of only 15 ranks,

and at that time, Great Liang Zao was ranked at the 13th level of the military merit title system,

and he was also separately enfeoffed as the Lord of Wu'an, which was the top at that time.

At that time, the respectful title for the King of Qin by Qin ministers was still 'Lord,' and Bai Qi was enfeoffed as the Lord of Wu'an,

which could already be considered as being below one person but above ten thousand in the Qin state.

People other than the King of Qin, such as the Queen or the Crown Prince, might have had a status above him,

but in terms of power alone, it was very likely that they couldn't compare to him, who controlled hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.

For example, the rank of Zuo Shuzhang that Bai Qi once held, in the Qin state at that time,

could completely be said to have entered the core circle of the military, but in the later period,

the military system of the Qin state changed, and Zuo Shuzhang could only be ranked 10th, belonging to the position of a middle-level officer."

In the end, it was Devouring Zhang Jie who stood up and gave a more appropriate answer to this question.

The era of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, where Bai Qi lived, and the era of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, where Lao Ai lived, were separated by King Xiaowen of Qin and King Zhuangxiang of Qin,

although these two, like the Taichang Emperor of the Great Ming who died after eating a red pill less than a year after ascending the throne,

only sat on the throne of the King of Qin for one year and three years,

but decades had passed from the time Bai Qi was enfeoffed as Great Liang Zao to the time Lao Ai was enfeoffed as Che Hou.

After all, Bai Qi was granted death in the 50th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

In decades, it was the time when the Qin army continued to swallow the world like a tiger,

so it was not surprising that the military system had changed.

Moreover, Lao Ai was not enfeoffed with a military merit title; the top of the Qin military merit title was Great Liang Zao, and then adding the title of Lord.

Only in very special circumstances would one be enfeoffed as a Marquis; even the clan member Ying Ji was only enfeoffed as the Lord of Yan.

Bai Qi's most prominent status was being enfeoffed as the Lord of Wu'an; Wu'an, Wu'an, using martial arts to pacify the world,

was basically the highest honor for a military general, just like the Champion Marquis of the later Han Dynasty.

And being enfeoffed as a Lord was a noble title with a very high status in the vassal states,

usually granted to clan members, relatives by marriage, or heavy ministers who had made great contributions,

its status was second only to the state ruler (King), and it was one of the peaks of power and glory at that time.

Anyway, no matter from any angle, it was difficult for Lao Ai to surpass Bai Qi.

Uh... that's not right either; at least in that aspect, there were not many people in the five thousand years of China who could compare to Lao Ai, let alone surpass him.

The Wheel-Turning King was absolutely gifted by heaven, with no possibility of catching up later.

Lao Ai had the diamond drill, so he could take on the porcelain work. ===== CHAPTER 376 =====

King Zhuanlun was absolutely gifted with extraordinary talent; there was not the slightest possibility of catching up through acquired effort.

Lao Ai had the diamond drill, which is why he could take on the porcelain work.
