What were the hidden forces of the vassal States during the Warring States Period?

During the Warring States period, heroes rose. After unnecessary wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, nearly a thousand vassal states were finally annexed, leaving only the seven most powerful vassal states of Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qi, as well as some smaller subordinate forces such as Zhongshan and Weiguo.

These countries carved up almost the whole Zhou Dynasty. In that war-torn era, all seven countries were hiding a secret army. They are always active in the shadows and shine for the motherland, even though they have contributed their lives.

Among them, Qin's Black Ice Terrace is the most famous. Mention these three words, I believe many comrades who are familiar with the history books of the Warring States are familiar with this secret institution. It can be said that the mysterious power of Qin to destroy the six countries played a role of half the country.

Speaking of "black ice platform", I have to say that Qin was an "iron eagle swordsman" thousands of years ago. "Iron Eagle Swordsman" was the title of outstanding martial artist in Qin State. As early as Qin Xiaogong's time, "Iron Eagle Swordsman" had already served the country on the battlefield. Although the State of Qin in Qin Xiaogong is very weak, and even the object of division in other countries, the old Qin people have backbone. Even if you can't be selected every time, you won't lower the requirements and standards for Iron Eagle Swordsman.

Those who take part in the "Iron Eagle swordsman" must carry about 40 kilograms of munitions and March for dozens of miles. Then you can hold a spear and shield for close combat, followed by equestrian examination, archery, fencing and so on. The individual skills of that period were all tested in the examination, and the level was extremely high! Those who pass the exam need to be further tested and selected in Lushan military camp, and then strengthen training. Finally, Qin Jun's top military commander personally wore the Iron Eagle medal for the warriors who passed the customs. Since then, these people have become outstanding fighters in many Qin armies-iron eagle swordsmen.

Iron eagle swordsmen are not only skilled in martial arts, but also flexible in mind, brave and good at fighting, but the operational concept at that time was not so advanced. Some iron eagle swordsmen went to Xianyang to be the body guards or court guards, and some followed in the official's mansion to be their personal guards. Almost all the rest went to Qin Jun. Some leaders became centurions or even commanders, while others only became ordinary infantry.

Qin Jun is very lucky to be assigned ten iron eagle swordsmen for every 100 men. So these elites can't get together to fight together. But their personal skills are beyond doubt. In a battle with Wei, ten iron eagle swordsmen formed a hundred-man team and rushed to Wei Jun's camp together. Ten of them took the lead in fighting from the military gate in Wei Jun to the tent in Zhong Jun. During this period, more than 60 pro-Wei Jun leaders came out to stop them, but they were killed by ten iron eagle swordsmen and a dozen Qin Jun warriors.

Later, in order to break the alliance of the six countries, Qin sent people to sow discord among the six countries. However, due to the large number of personnel and materials dispatched at one time, there is no special organization to manage them, and most of the accompanying protectors are recruited temporarily, so there are many mistakes in the early work, and even agents are killed by assassins from other countries, which is very unfavorable to Qin's intelligence network scattered in six countries.

At the critical moment, Fluorspar Jade, the wife of Shang Yang, the sister of Qin Xiaogong and the princess of Qin, presided over the establishment of an agency specializing in spying and planning in the six countries, which enabled the Qin secret agents in the six countries to have formal leadership and security protection.

Later, with the gradual growth of this institution, some small institutions specializing in the internal affairs of Qin State were derived. Later, in order to keep the secrets of Qin from being leaked and to deal with some emergencies in the six countries, a new team, the Secret Law Enforcement Team, was set up in this huge and complex intelligence agency. There are 300 iron eagle swordsmen, who are on alert all the year round. They arrest important people from the six countries and defectors and leakers from Qin State, secretly execute them and assassinate some people who are directly responsible for the failure of the mission. This secret team and this institution are directly under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Government of Qin State, and other irrelevant personnel are not allowed to ask. This resulted in the wrinkle of special forces, an institution called "black ice platform" by the internal affairs officer of Qin State.

The mysterious forces of the other six countries are Chu Jianchi, Zhao Yifu, Wei Wuwei, South Korean Eagle, Yan Dukang Wei and Qi. These six forces should not be underestimated. It can be said that these troops are special forces of various countries and can even act as spies.
