Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 391 Time flies and autumn is coming.

"only!"

Zhao Si bowed to accept the order and exited the palace.

The person on duty at night was Xia Houying, who was changing his shift now. He even said hello to Zhao Si when he left.

There are more and more memorials to impeach him, and Zhao Si's reputation as a gentleman seems to be stained, but it seems to be of no use.

There is one benefit to having strong monarchy. As long as the monarch can unswervingly choose to believe in it, the so-called political struggle will be nothing more than a joke.

If the emperor were to be replaced by Liu Xie or Gaogui Township Duke Cao Mao, then it would be useless no matter how much the king trusted him.

No matter how you say it, the First Emperor was the first unified king, and it goes without saying that his monarchy was powerful.

Looking up at the moon that had climbed up the treetops, Zhao Si was shocked to realize that summer was coming.

"Suan Min is going to speed up the progress!" Zhao Si murmured slightly.

As we all know, autumn is a good time to send troops.

Whether it is for farming civilization, fishing and hunting civilization, or hunting people, this is the season of harvest.

If nothing else goes wrong, the First Emperor planned to move the royal tombs for the second time before the autumn harvest and proactively push back the unstable elements lurking in the country.

Of course, if the First Emperor was not so anxious, he could have used the method of boiling the frog in warm water, but it was obvious that the First Emperor did not intend to wait that long.

Although war consumes people, money, and even damages people's strength, there is no doubt that it is the fastest method and can greatly strengthen the imperial power.

What the First Emperor needed was constant victory to strengthen his voice and centralization of power, rather than boiling frogs in warm water to get stuck in the quagmire of fighting.

"Mourning how difficult people's lives are..."

"But when this turmoil is over, there will be real peace in the world."

In the following time, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, autumn is approaching.

The first is the Shipping and Trade Military Office, which has gradually begun to expand. As more and more sea-going ships are produced in coastal ports such as Penglai, Daqin's transport ships are enough for use, and now it has begun mass production of warships.

The expanded navy is still a military force, mainly recruited from Qi, supplemented by some middle- and lower-level officers from the old Qin people.

Nowadays, the official naval force of the Shipping and Trade Army has been expanded to 300, and there are hundreds of warships that can be mobilized. If all the troops are used, including transport ships, there are more than [-] warships that can be mobilized. , there are hundreds of thousands of people who can be dispatched.

However, it is only an expansion at the moment... The naval force is very different from the army. The number of warships is indeed there, but the experience of Daqin's maritime operations is limited to the naval battle against Ye Tiaoguo, and the combat effectiveness of the navy of the Shipping and Trade Army may be slightly insufficient.

The argument for high emotional intelligence is that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, no matter how inadequate it is, the equipment and ships are there to deal with the evil people in the East China Sea. As long as they are not fighting away from home, there will not be a big problem.

With the aviation and trade military government, plus the county soldiers deployed in the coastal cities themselves, they form a defense line overseas and at home. Once the villains land in large numbers and launch an attack, it is only a matter of time before they are killed.

Of course, there is still a problem before Zhao Si. There is no qualified commander to deal with Dongyi.

The Craftsman Bureau is also constantly studying the improved technology of steel smelting. Zhao Si proposed coal instead of charcoal for smelting.

In terms of combustion temperature, coal is definitely better than charcoal.

However, coal also has a lot of impurities. If it is to be used to smelt steel, it must be coked. Zhao Si only remembers that coal is converted into coke through combustion, but he has no memory of the specific steps. He can only explain it to the craftsman himself. Give it a try.

The so-called iron-making and steel-making actually mean that the temperature is higher, unnecessary impurities are less, and the carbon content can be accurately controlled.

As for alloys, forget about alloys at this time. Zhao Si doesn't understand alloys at all.

In short, following this idea, starting from the furnace, bellows, and purification, it is only a matter of time before the steel smelting technology tree that can be used in the military industry is revealed.

In addition, under Zhao Si's appointment, the Craftsmanship Bureau sent personnel to guide Shaofu to mine and collect saltpetre and sulfur ore for use as gunpowder reserves.

Because the gunpowder production process has not matured, the explosive power has not reached expectations, and the ratio is still being adjusted. Therefore, the general will only collect raw materials. As for gunpowder production, we have to wait until the Craftsman Bureau comes up with a suitable ratio. As for re-production.

In addition, the Craftsmanship Bureau sent some technical personnel to guide the general to build iron smelting furnaces, unified the standards for iron smelting, optimized the methods of iron ore mining, and gradually started the production of iron farm tools.

During the Qin Dynasty, while the government collected high taxes, it was also obliged to ensure local food production. Therefore, during busy farming seasons, common people could borrow cattle and farming tools from the government.

In a sense, Da Qin's attitude of taking care of everything also accelerated the updating and iteration of folk production tools, influencing from top to bottom and actively seeking change, rather than influencing from bottom to top.

The advantage of this is that once the policies introduced by Daqin are beneficial to people's livelihood, they can be promoted to local areas as quickly as possible. The disadvantage is that once the instructions issued by the higher-ups are wrong, the harm will be greater. If you are not careful, you will be It will bring harm to all people in the world.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, governing the world with Huang Lao's learning was equivalent to changing from the Qin Dynasty to an alchemist. It did not interfere with the development of civil affairs and worked from the bottom up. The advantage of this was that it would not cause major turmoil.The disadvantage is that it takes a long time for the lower level to influence the upper level. Once a problem occurs, it will become too big and difficult to turn around.

In short, iron farm tools have begun to be widely produced with the help of General Shaofu, but because everything has just begun.The production speed is not too fast. It is estimated that by autumn, only a few thousand farm tools will be produced.

If it is to be truly popularized all over the world, I am afraid it will take several years.

Mengtian in the north has begun to actively deploy defenses. It is worth mentioning that due to the victory in the war against the Xiongnu, there was finally no obstacle to the construction of the Great Wall by the Qin Dynasty.

Just this year, Da Qin's war fortress system was finally fully implemented.

The Great Wall that connects the world is connected, and the difficulty for the barbarian Rongdi to threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains has increased exponentially. It can be said that as long as the Central Plains itself does not seek death, and there are no reactionary elements within to welcome Master Wang, the barbarian Rongdi have no chance of invading the Central Plains. possible.

Not to mention Lingnan, Zhao Tuo accepted the instructions of the First Emperor and summoned the leaders of the major tribes in Lingnan to agree on a truce.

As for the rebellion within the Central Plains, the First Emperor also made all preparations.

The Lantian Camp near Xianyang has been prepared for a long time and is under the command of Wang Ben. Of course, the person who is really sitting behind the scenes to direct and dispatch is the living God of War of Great Qin, Chehou Wang Jian.

There are Meng Tian in the north, Zhao Tuo in the south, and Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Under the control of the God of War Wang Jian, there are a million troops in total. It can be said that they are flying dragons riding on the face. No matter how much Zhao Si thinks about it, he does not know where the loser of Da Qin is. .

Perhaps the only area where there is a possibility of crisis is the boundary of the East China Sea.

There is no commander who can give Zhao Si a complete sense of security.

After Jing completed his voyage to Ye Tiaoguo, he had already crossed the ocean to America. Now he wants Jing to come back and command the army and he can't come back.

As for Zou Feng's disciple Lin Jingyu, he was responsible for production and construction, and military was not his strong point.

And objectively speaking, the number of people in the east may not be large, but the battle situation is more complicated, because the dirty people are relatively scattered, and they are both on sea and land. The geographical conditions are generally harsh and are not suitable for large armies to spread out. The commander must coordinate the sea and land to advance simultaneously. This requires The ratio is high, so Zhao Si intends to transfer Han Xin over. However, although Han Xin has made great contributions in Shangjun, Han Xin's current military merit and title are not enough. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he does not meet the rigid requirements for dispatching an army all the way.So Zhao Si could only find Wang Jian and ask Wang Jian to help him come up with ideas.

After carefully telling Wang Jian his thoughts, Wang Jian moved his eyebrows and laughed.

"Others worry about defeat before they think about victory, but you, on the other hand, worry about winning before thinking about defeat."

What Zhao Si was worried about was never the defeat in the east...

To be honest, even a fool can figure this out.

It is an obvious fact that the Qin Dynasty reduced corvee duties and forced labor. Although rumors continued after the promulgation of the imperial mausoleum relocation order, the local common people also benefited in real terms. For the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, the continuous evil policies of the Great Qin Dynasty pushed them to a dead end. But for the common people in the world, these few years may be the happiest moments in their lives.

The benefits in front of you cannot be deceived.

There may be loyal knights and righteous warriors who follow the nobles and risk their lives for them, but the human group seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. If it is not impossible to live, there will be a few common people who are willing to tie their heads to their trousers. The nobles waved flags and shouted on their belts.

The nobles of the world raised their troops with great momentum, indeed, but they only had momentum.

Under the guidance of Zhao Si, the First Emperor, Li Si and even Great Qin determined the basic structure of common people as the main body, and took various measures. If there was no problem with the basic structure, how could the nobles of the Six Kingdoms overthrow the Great Qin?
This turmoil was expected, but victory was inevitable.

What Da Qin has to do is to minimize the losses and use this opportunity to completely eliminate the reactionary forces in the country to the greatest extent.

The instability of Dongyi was due to Meng Tian in the north, Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son in the Central Plains, and Zhao Tuo and his 60 troops in South Vietnam.

The uncertainty in Zhao Si's words was that he might not be able to suppress the rebellion so quickly and achieve greater results and completely eliminate the filthy people.

After all, the troops here are the smallest and there are no famous generals. However, the offshore and northeastern areas are the top priority for the future development of Great Qin.

If we cannot take this opportunity to deal with the issue, immigration expansion will cause all kinds of troubles in the future.

"With an army of millions against the barbarians and the loose group of nobles, I have the advantage!" Zhao Si chuckled.

Wang Jian laughed when he heard this, but what Zhao Si said was also true.

Great Qin was fully prepared for the possible rebellion this time, and Wang Jian also did not think about failure.

"I think you have a lot of time. The Aviation and Trade Military Mansion is under your control again. Dongyi Qian goes to take charge of the situation personally..." Wang Jian touched his beard and teased Zhao Si.

"Whatever General Wang said, I haven't even read a few steps of the military book. People who talk about military affairs on paper may delay the opportunity to fight. Besides, even if I want to go... Your Majesty won't allow it." Zhao Si spread his hands.

It's not impossible for Zhao Si to be able to take charge personally.

It's nothing more than packing up all his customers.

Zhao Si himself did not know how to fight, but his retainers did.

Han Xin, Xia Houying, Fan Kuai, Liu Bang, Zhang Cang...

Bringing out a Han Dynasty Heavenly Group to defeat Dongyi was pure crushing. Liting and sweeping holes were not a problem. Zhao Si only needed to be a mascot and delegate power.

The problem is that it is impossible for the First Emperor to release people.

Zhao Si is now the real auspicious person of Da Qin.

Although it was not exposed, the First Emperor knew that Zhao Si was related to Qin's grain production.

How could the First Emperor let Zhao Si go to the battlefield under such circumstances?

All joking aside, unless the Qin Dynasty was about to fall, it would be impossible for the First Emperor to send Zhao Si to the border.

The imperial seal cannot be lost even if Zhao Si is lost. If Zhao Si disappears one day, the First Emperor will probably search the mountains and seas to find Zhao Si.

"If you want to take full credit for Dongyi's affairs, you need a suitable commander. I do have a candidate, but it may be a bit troublesome." Wang Jian saw Zhao Si Xiaoxiong spread his hands and did not continue to joke, but touched his beard. He spoke with a somewhat indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"Who is it?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Jian.

"Longxi Marquis, Li Xin." Wang Jian sighed softly.

"Longxi Marquis?" Zhao Si looked a little surprised.

Of course, Li Xin's name, Zhao Si, is no stranger to him. He is also a double marquis. His father, Li Yao, is the Marquis of Didao, and Li Xin is the Marquis of Longxi. He is also the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi.At the same time, Li Xin was also the nephew of Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Li Xin's achievements. He was the leading figure of the Young Masters faction during the First Emperor's period. When he was most prosperous, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and others could only serve as his deputy. When he competed with Wang Jian to attack the commander-in-chief of the Chu State, he was not the leader. Riding on Wang Jian's neck and shitting, Wang Jian was even forced to electrify him and go to the field.

He had countless military exploits in his life, but they were destroyed by the defeat of Chu.

Objectively speaking, there was only one battle in which Li Xin truly failed, but this time it was a lifetime.

He is young and brave, and his combat style is as fast as fire. He is good at using cavalry, which is highly similar to Li Mu's combat style. He uses cavalry superbly. He is good at mobile warfare and annihilation warfare. His long-distance battlefield dispatch can be said to be like an arm.

Then the problem is coming...

"The Marquis of Longxi should make good use of the cavalry..." Zhao Si looked at Wang Jian.

"Making good use of cavalry is not just about using cavalry. If you want to plow the court and sweep the holes, and get the best of everything, Li Xin is the best one." Wang Jian shook his head.

Although I had an unfriendly experience with Li Xin before, and I didn’t have a good impression of Li Xin, a smelly and tough boy, there is no doubt that in terms of combat capabilities alone, the entire world can surpass Li Xin’s military level. There are only a handful of them.

It was almost overflowing with war talent, as if he was born for war.

"There should be a gap between General Wang and the Marquis of Longxi, right?" Zhao Si glanced at Wang Jian strangely.

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes at ease: "I have a lot of people, and you will not avoid enmity when you promote good people!"

(Many people say that Li Xin lost to Li Mu. I checked for a long time. Li Xin participated in two wars against Zhao. The first time Li Xin paid tens of thousands of Qin troops to attack Zhao and destroyed [-]. Li Mu Those who were far away from the frontier were not transferred back.

The second time was to join forces with Wang Jian to destroy Zhao. By this time, Li Mu had died of slander, and there was no record of direct fighting between the uncle and nephew.

As for movies, TV shows and novels, they definitely cannot be used as information, and the first commander-in-chief during the expedition against Zhao was always Wang Jian.I prefer that Li Xin only had to perform extraordinary feats all the way to compete with Wang Jian in the battle to conquer Chu. Otherwise, what qualifications would he have to become the leader of the Young Strong Faction and convince Wang Ben and Meng Tian, ​​two second generations of the same period, to be his partners? Wang Ben and Meng Tian were the two Human abilities are also very impressive.

The information about the Qin Dynasty is too vague, and many things can only be speculated. If there is information that can indicate the source, you can leave a message directly, and I will research it and make changes. )
