Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 216 Pre-battle preparations, two winning weapons

After Yingzheng returned to the palace, the cavalry of the Lantian camp began to mobilize.

These cavalry were originally built to guard Lantian soldiers, but due to special circumstances, they had to be used elsewhere.

According to Yingzheng's will, first Wang Ben led [-] cavalry to Ji County, and then Nei Shiteng and Ma Xing led [-] troops to consolidate the defense line.

These [-] troops are also temporarily recruited county and county soldiers. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the standing army, their strength should not be underestimated.

After all, the Qin State adopted the system of farming and warfare, and basically all the people were soldiers.

At this time, Zhao Kun was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard, thinking about his next plan.

There was a rush of shouts outside the door, Zhao Kun turned his head to look, but saw Wang Li rushing out of breath, shouting: "It's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Kun frowned, and asked Wang Li, "Why are you so surprised?"

"My lord!" Wang Li walked up to Zhao Kun in two steps at a time, and said solemnly, "We're fighting! We're going to fight!"

fight?

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, thinking what's so strange about fighting?Didn't you fight Donghu before?Who are you fighting now?

"Don't worry, speak slowly!" Zhao Kun gestured to the maid in the distance, and the maid immediately brought hot tea to Wang Li.

Wang Li was not too polite, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, then calmed down and said to Zhao Kun, "It's not that we hit someone else, it's someone else calling!"

"Huh?" Zhao Kun frowned and asked, "Who is calling?"

"My father is already making preparations. It is said that a secret report came from Longxi County. The Da Yue Clan used Shangjun as a bait to sneak attack Longxi County, break through Didao Pass, and approach Lintao!"

"what?!"

Zhao Kun stood up in shock and looked at Wang Li.

Wang Li nodded and said, "It's true. Now the Da Yue Clan's [-] cavalry have surrounded Lintao and are approaching Ji County. As long as they pass Ji County, they will soon reach Guanzhong!"

Did the [-] cavalry of the Da Yue clan enter the pass?

You must know that Xianyang is only one county away from Longxi County!
If the Dayue clan cavalry drove straight in, then Xianyang would be in danger!
but
This is very wrong!

There is no such record in history!

Could it be that he really changed history?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun's brows twisted into Chuan characters. He is very suspicious now, wondering what kind of Great Qin he has traveled to.

However, now is not the time to worry about these, the most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation.

Even if they wanted to rebel, it was their own family's business. Foreign races came to disrupt the situation, and they could only let them go without returning.

Seeing that Zhao Kun was silent, Wang Li said seriously, "Master, I know you want me to go to Shangjun, but Ji County needs me more, so I want to go to Ji County first to help my father."

Zhao Kun didn't answer Wang Li's words, but instead asked, "What is the current state of the war?"

Hearing Zhao Kun's question, Wang Li sighed, shook his head and said, "My father and Lieutenant Lan have already gone to Lantian Camp."

"After I came back, I heard from my father that Didao was besieged. Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in the city. The villages along the way were also looted. It is estimated that there will be a massacre of the city."

"Besides, we only have [-] cavalry at our disposal. Even if we want to rescue Ji County, we can only go deep alone."

Having said this, Wang Li's voice became choked up, and he lowered his head involuntarily: "As for Didao's tens of thousands of people, we can only resign ourselves to fate!"

Resign yourself to fate?

Is this about giving them up?
Zhao Kun's heart moved slightly, but he was not angry.

He is not the kind of sympathetic saint, he knows the cruelty of war, and also knows that war requires sacrifice.

But [-] cavalry against [-] cavalry, on the face of it, there is no chance of winning at all, even if the leader is Wang Ben.

After all, Didao is the only way for the Da Yue Clan to retreat, and there will definitely be heavy guards.

If you enter Didao rashly, you may be attacked from both sides.

At that time, Wang Ben's safety will be seriously threatened.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kun raised his head and looked at Wang Li: "If you want to go, then go, but you have to prepare well before going."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Wang Li nodded excitedly: "I must let the Dayue Clan's cavalry have a taste of my ghost-faced cavalry!"

"It's so little!"

Zhao Kun squinted at Wang Li, and said solemnly: "Although the ghost-faced knights are well trained, they have never experienced actual combat. You have to use them reasonably!"

"I know this!"

"Best"

Zhao Kun said casually, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, when is the army expected to leave?"

"Estimated tomorrow morning!"

"Okay! Then let's go to Qiankou Village now and prepare what you need!"

After saying this, Zhao Kun led Wang Li out of the courtyard.

After several months of renovation, the current Qiankou Village is no longer the original Qiankou Village.

In Zhao Kun's words, the current Qiankou Village is a new socialist countryside.

And Zhao Kun also fulfilled his promise and led Qiankou Village to a prosperous life.

Even the young women from the next-door village want to marry the single young men from Qiankou Village.

Rows of small green tile houses made every villager in Qiankou Village smile happily.

At this time, all the villagers of Qiankou Village gathered in the village committee compound.

The compound of the village committee is a courtyard house built by the head of the village, Boxun, and the villagers for Zhao Kun.

But Zhao Kun seldom came to live in Qiankou Village, so he changed the courtyard into the current village committee compound.

Whenever a major event is announced, the head of the village, Bosun, will call the villagers to the compound for a meeting.

The current Qiankou Village already has the prototype of an industrial town. There are not only pottery workshops, but also cement factories, forging factories, brick factories, as well as oil extraction workshops, wine workshops, salt workshops, etc.

The oil refining workshop, brewing workshop, and salt workshop are small workshops, mainly for the self-sufficiency of the villagers of Qiankou Village, while the forge is for making some iron utensils, such as iron pots and plow sticks.

Of course, these are just to cover up people's eyes and ears. In fact, the core industries are all carried out in secret.

Although the Qin Dynasty prohibited the private forging of weapons, iron smelting was not restricted.

Today's bronze forging has reached its peak, and if you want to break through the bottleneck, you can only find another way.

At this time, although ironware is widely used, it has a common problem, that is, its texture is too brittle and easy to break.

Therefore, Zhao Kun boldly researched steelmaking on the basis of ironmaking.

Although he has an encyclopedia, he is not a blacksmith after all, so he can only recruit some craftsmen to study secretly to prepare for his rebellion plan.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and it didn't take long for his craftsmen to master the most basic steelmaking.

With steel, it is natural to want to build weapons, so the purpose of Zhao Kun's visit today is to build armaments to deal with cavalry.

As for the armaments against cavalry, there are two things, which are definitely battlefield weapons.

"Everyone, I called you here today, I hope you can do me a favor!"

Zhao Kun glanced at the villagers and craftsmen present, then took out the blueprint in his arms, and continued: "There are two things on it. I want you to make at least [-] sets for me before the morning of the day after tomorrow!"

"any questions?"

As soon as Zhao Kun's words fell, the head of the village, Bosun, immediately stood up and responded: "Don't worry, son, we promise to complete the task!"

"Yes, my lord, don't worry! Even if you don't eat or drink, you must make what you need!" Zhang San also echoed.

The rest of the villagers suddenly burst into shouts: "That's right!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Kun nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "Then let's take action!"

After speaking, he handed over the drawings to Li Chang Bosun and asked him to arrange for a blacksmith to build them, while he took Wang away to the cement factory.

Now Gongshuchou has mastered the technology of refining black powder, Zhao Kun went to him to get some black powder from him for Wang Li.

But as soon as they approached the cement factory, they saw Gongshuchou talking with two middle-aged men wearing crowns.

"Young master, don't come here unharmed!"

Among the two middle-aged people, the thinner one was the first to see Zhao Kun, and immediately came up to greet him, bowed to Zhao Kun quite familiarly, and nodded slightly to Wang Li.

Seeing that Zhao Kun frowned and said nothing, he was not embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "The official surname is Su, and he is the young supervisor of the Shaofu. He once had a relationship with the young master."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun suddenly realized that it turned out to be the guy who helped the VIP of the Liu family.

I thought, isn't this guy Zhun Cheng?Why did you suddenly become a young prisoner?Could it be that he was promoted to find a sense of presence?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun squinted his eyes, and asked lightly: "I don't know why Shaojian Su came here?"

Seemingly sensing Zhao Kun's bad tone, Su Tian saluted him again, and said: "What happened last time, the officials were so reckless, I still hope that you will forgive me."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Kun chuckled, not knowing what this guy was planning.

However, he didn't reject the other party, so he said casually: "If that's the case, then go in and talk about something, and always stand outside, saying that my son doesn't know how to be polite."

"Where is it, the subordinates dare not."

Su Tian bowed humbly, then narrowed his eyes with a smile, and led the way to Zhao Kun.

When passing by another middle-aged man, he enthusiastically introduced: "This man is Sima Bingzao of the Central Military Academy."

"I've seen Young Master Kun."

Unlike Su Tian, ​​this Sima Bingzao had an unspeakable heroic spirit, and after saluting, he said directly: "I was born as a military general, I don't know how to be polite, I hope you don't blame me."

"It's okay."

Zhao Kun waved his hand with a smile, and then made a gesture of please.

Soon, a group of people came to the living room of the cement factory.

After some more exchanges, Zhao Kun finally understood their purpose.

It turned out that the three-piece cavalry suit for the cavalry battle drill was passed on to the Central Military Building.

The craftsmen of the Central Military Building were already building new types of cavalry equipment. Because some technical problems needed to be solved as soon as possible, they found Qiankou Village.

It is said that the three-piece cavalry suit was forged from Qiankou Village.

As for why they came to the cement factory, it was because all strangers who entered Qiankou Village would be brought to the cement factory.

After all, the cement factory is heavily guarded, so if you can come, you may not be able to leave.

It was also for this reason that they communicated with the director of the cement factory, hoping that he would let him go.

The Central Military Building is also the military factory of the Qin State, and it is the largest one, which is equivalent to the "General Assembly Department" of later generations.

The molds and standards of all weapons are formulated by the central army.

There are a total of twelve military buildings in Daqin, and one central military building.

In addition to formulating molds and standards, the Central Armed Forces is also responsible for the development of new equipment.

So this Sima Bingzao has a lot of power.

Going to the door in person now can be regarded as giving Zhao Kun and Wang Li enough face.

This made them very useful, so Zhao Kun took the lead and said, "I don't know how the promotion of the cavalry three-piece set is going?"

"The stirrups and saddles have been fully equipped. As for the horseshoes, His Majesty's intention is to promote them all."

When Sima Yan said this, he paused, and then said to Zhao Kun: "It's just that there are only a few craftsmen who can nail horseshoes, so the Central Military Academy wants to send people to learn."

"The Central Military Academy sent people to learn how to nail horseshoes?"

Zhao Kun tilted his head, a little confused.

Sima Yan looked at Su Tian in embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Ben... originally the horseshoe nailing should be done by the horse farm, but there is no one there who can't do it, so we left it to us;

Say we can't nail the horseshoes we built ourselves, so teach them? "

Hearing this, Zhao Kun and Wang Li looked at each other, and couldn't help being a little amused.

But in front of Sima Yan, no matter how funny they were, they didn't laugh out loud.

Only to hear Sima Yan turn to Zhao Kun again: "I don't know if you have any suggestions, young master?"

"Suggestions don't count."

Zhao Kun shook his head with a smile: "It's just that the craftsmen are in their own job, and they don't need to be responsible for things like nailing horseshoes."

"Please tell me, sir."

"The meaning is very simple. Go and report to my royal father, and say that the horseshoes must be learned by the people from the horse farm. In the future, the horseshoes will be replaced, and they will also be used."

Sima Yan seemed to be hearing for the first time that the horseshoes needed to be replaced, and he suddenly regained his energy, and then said to Zhao Kun: "So, not only the people in the racecourse, but also the soldiers who will learn to put on horseshoes when they go to the battlefield?"

Su Tian next to him heard the words, his heart moved slightly, and then he said to Sima Yan: "Why don't you ask the eunuch first, let him order the horse master from Xianyang to come over and learn how to make horseshoes, and then pass it on to the troops?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun glanced at Su Tian, ​​and said in his heart that besides being knowledgeable about current affairs, this guy has good organizational skills, so he really should be promoted.

And Sima Yan agreed with Su Tian's suggestion very much, nodded with a smile, and said: "If this is the case, there is no need to bother Your Majesty, I will discuss it with Taifu Teng myself."

"It seems that this time, it really didn't come in vain." Su Tian smiled and said to Zhao Kun, "I heard that the three-piece cavalry suit was created by the young master, but now it seems that the one who knows them best is indeed the young master. "

"Young master's talent, the lower officials admire. In the future, you will have novel creations, so don't forget about us."

Sima Yan also saluted Zhao Kun with a smile, and then said shamelessly: "In recent years, the innovation of the central military building has been too little. Just this three-piece cavalry suit makes my central military building craftsmen feel ashamed."

"Hahaha, Sima Bingzao is scolding me for saying that."

Zhao Kun laughed loudly, and replied, "I'm just starting out. I'm really forging, and it's your central military building that I'm promoting."

Sima Yan shook his head, and did not delve into this issue, but solemnly said to Zhao Kun: "In the future, whatever you need to manufacture, my lord, as long as it is related to ordnance, we will help you manufacture it unconditionally, and promise to do our best."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Wang Li.

But Wang Li nodded to himself calmly.

What he nodded meant, of course, that the relationship between Sima Yan and the Wang family was extraordinary.

If so, it can be used in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun smiled and nodded at Sima Yan: "Then I will trouble Sima Bing from now on."

"polite."

Sima Yan cupped his hands in satisfaction.

Su Tian, ​​who was on the side, interjected unwillingly: "There are many good craftsmen in the Central Military Academy, and the Sima Military Academy is also very capable. It's a pity that my Shaofu is getting less and less prosperous."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun almost laughed out loud, thinking that the Central Military Construction is the "General Assembly Department" of Daqin, and your Shaofu is the "General Logistics", so it's not prosperous yet?
Seeing that Zhao Kun didn't speak, Su Tian became a little anxious, and said to him again: "Young Master, I have just been promoted to the Young Prison, if I need help from the Young Mansion, I can help!"

"With your words, I won't have to bother you in the future."

Zhao Kun returned the gift politely, but rolled his eyes in his heart, all the things he made were used to rebel, Shaofu learned the core technology, and he was still playing a fart?
Eat shit you!
