447: Chapter 447: Retaliation against the Shule Tribe!

Nowadays, there are more and more Industrial Zones in Chang'an, attracting a large population to reside there.

After finishing work, many people enjoy reading the Newspaper.

A worker from a Steel Mill held a Newspaper and said angrily, "These barbarians of the Shule Tribe are truly ungrateful! Our Great Qin has already paid the customs duties, yet they still attack us. They are worse than pigs and dogs! These barbarians must be severely punished so they know the might of Great Qin!"

"Indeed!"

Another strong worker waved his fist and roared, "The Shule Tribe is simply insane! Our Great Qin didn't kill their people, yet they came to kill ours!"

"Our brothers in the caravan were so innocent, yet they were brutally harmed like this. We citizens of Great Qin are not to be trifled with. Everyone, unite and fight them! If we don't beat these bastards until they kneel and beg for mercy, we don't deserve to be called people of Great Qin!"

After seeing the news published in the Newspaper, the students in the academy slammed their tables and said with righteous indignation, "Such behavior is truly intolerable by heaven! The Shule Tribe has violated the agreement, destroyed the peace, and initiated the war."

"We scholars, though unable to go to the front lines to kill enemies, can use our brushes as swords to condemn their evil deeds with words, letting everyone in the world know their ugly faces. At the same time, we call upon more people to join us in denouncing the Shule Tribe for the dignity of Great Qin and for the grievances of our brothers in the caravan!"

In the military camp of Longxi Commandery, a young general looked at the news, a spark of anger flashing in his eyes as he said to the soldiers beside him, "The Shule Tribe dares to provoke us; they are simply seeking their own death!"

"Brothers, soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. If His Majesty the Head of State gives the order, we must be like tigers descending the mountain, trampling the Shule Tribe and making them pay a heavy price for their barbarism, defending the majesty of Great Qin and avenging our fallen brothers in the caravan!"

In a remote mountain village, the farmers, upon hearing about this, also spoke with faces full of anger, "The Shule Tribe is so hateful. Those people in the caravan only went to such far places for their livelihood, yet they were harmed by them!"

"Even though we are just farmers, we know that Great Qin has been wholeheartedly good to the various tribes. How could they do this? Although we can't go to war, we will contribute more grain so the soldiers on the front lines can eat their fill, drive away those villains, and avenge our children!"

Whether in the imperial court or among the common folk, the anger of the citizens of Great Qin toward the Shule Tribe burned like a raging fire. The entire Great Qin Empire was enveloped in this righteous indignation, and everyone looked forward to the Great Qin Empire launching a powerful counterattack against the Shule Tribe.

Zhao Fusu had been monitoring public opinion. Seeing that they all supported a war against the Shule Tribe, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Compared to when he first took over, the current Great Qin was much, much more stable.

Now, it could be said that every household had surplus grain.

Due to the factories in the city, the standard of living was rising steadily like sesame flowers blooming.

With the Newspaper unifying everyone's thoughts, the previous situation of disunity was improving, and the people of the Six Lands were gradually coming around.

Zhao Fusu knew that it would take several generations to completely assimilate the Six Lands.

Once the elderly had passed away, the younger generation would have a deeper sense of identification with Great Qin.

What he needed to do now was to raise the standard of living, improve people's livelihoods, and retaliate against the Shule Tribe!
