Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 114
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was a scorching summer.

Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition to the Shangfang Valley. This valley was rugged, but the Shu army needed to occupy the favorable terrain, so the Shangfang Valley was bound to be captured.

Therefore, the erudite and talented Zhuge Liang used mechanism techniques to invent wooden cattle and horses for the army to transport food.

Wooden cattle and horses use two long logs, three feet above the ground, three feet apart, and four feet long, as the backbone.

The square hole at the top is hinged with a small axis, the remaining two holes are connected to four grounded pillars, and the two long logs are connected to the upper stream horse with a mortise and tenon structure, which is a wooden box that opens upward.

In order to prevent loads such as millet and rice in the box from moving left and right, a longitudinal partition divides the box into two, and the grain is first put into cloth bags and then into the box.When the wooden cow spreads its front and rear legs, it can stop on the slope at any time.

Wooden cattle and horses have high efficiency and quick results, so they were quickly popularized in the army.

Zhangtai Palace.

A mechanical sound came from Qin Wangzheng's mind.

[Ding, the little childish slave sent an email, please check the host]

Qin Wangzheng clicked on the email, and saw a group of lightly armed troops in the photo transporting food, grass and supplies.

And they are all using a bull-headed unicycle, which makes Qin Wangzheng feel novel.

And in the recording is the dialogue between Zhuge Liang and the soldiers of the three armies.

The soldiers of the three armies boasted: "After the wooden cow and horse are built, they are just like real cows and horses!"

"Using wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass. People almost need too much effort to push it, but wooden oxen and horses only transport grain and don't eat grain. You are really a god!"

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly.

It turns out that this thing is called Wooden Niu Liuma, which is worthy of the name, and it is used to transport grain and grass.

More importantly, cattle and horses transport grain, only needing a little push by manpower, and they can walk on the rugged mountain like flat ground.

There are so many mountains in Weidi, if this method is used to transport grain, wouldn't the efficiency be greatly increased?
Qin Wangzheng immediately summoned Qin Mo into the palace, handed the blueprint to Qin Mo and Tian Feng said, "Can you make this thing?"

Tian Feng nodded frequently. Under Qin Wangzheng's majesty, even if he couldn't make it, he had to say he made it, otherwise he would be thrown away as useless.

Seeing Tian Feng's promise, Qin Wangzheng showed a meaningful smile, and asked: "Is it possible to build [-] vehicles within three days?"

Tian Feng and the Qin people knelt down on the ground, nodded in agreement, and didn't even take a breath. After receiving the order, they returned to the blacksmith's shop to build it with heart, not daring to be negligent.

Qin Wangzheng sat on the emperor's couch, a feeling of incomparable comfort came to his heart, he laughed and said: "Using wooden oxen and horses to transport grain and grass can get twice the result with half the effort. In the rugged mountains and hills of Weidi, this thing can give full play to its advantages!"

It's just that the number of Qin ink is limited, and one person and one car are not enough, so Qin Wangzheng ordered craftsmen from Hanzhong and Beidi counties to gather in Xianyang Palace to build wooden cows and horses together.

Three days later, two hundred wooden cows and horses were successfully built.

Tian Feng stepped forward to experiment, and with just a slight push, the machine composed of connecting rods, gears and other mechanisms can be easily pushed, which can fully carry seven stones of military rations.

Compared with the bulky four-wheeled vehicle, the weight has been increased by [-]%!
Moreover, the transportation speed has also been improved. It can travel ten miles a day, faster than a heavy wooden cart, like wind and lightning.

When he learned that Qin Wangzheng had created a wooden cow and a stray horse, Ma Xing's eyes were full of surprise. When he learned the data that Qin Wangzheng told him, he couldn't believe it, so he rode a fast horse to Bentai Palace at starry night to find out.

When he came to Zhangtai Palace, Ma Xing rolled his eyes with contempt, obviously he didn't believe that Qin Mo could make wooden cows and horses.

Hearing the data from Zhangtai Palace, he felt that Qin Mo must have made a false report.

There is no such convenient machine for transporting grain in the world.

Ma Xing was still waving the long sword in his hand, threatening to go to Zhangtai Palace to kill Qin Mo who made false reports.

But when Ma Xing rushed to Zhangtai Palace, he was dumbfounded when he saw the wooden cow and horse built by Qin Mo, his heart was pounding, and his thoughts were so chaotic that he lost his mind.

Immediately praised: "Wooden cattle and horses are exquisite and meticulous, ingeniously crafted, and they are also sharp weapons like Qu Yuanli!"

After Ma Xing praised, Qin Wangzheng smiled. When Qin Mo pointed out that they built it according to Qin Wangzheng's blueprint, Ma Xing's face was shocked, and he praised Qin Wangzheng because Lu Ban was alive, which made Qin Wangzheng laugh from ear to ear. .

One month later, Wang Ben, who was thousands of miles away, was also curious when he saw Mu Niu Liuma, and the expressions of the soldiers of the three armies were full of surprise.

It's just that the soldiers of the three armies were just curious, and didn't ask more questions, but focused their eyes on the grain and grass in the vehicle.

After Wang Ben accepted Qianshi's fineness, it seemed as if a sweet and warm wind swept over his heart, and he immediately ordered: "All the soldiers of the three armies will report for a meal!"

Wang Ben was also stationed here by the king's order to appease the local people.

The Daliang City was broken, and the people of the Wei State no longer had confidence in the Wei State's ruling and opposition parties. The royal family and nobles stayed in their fiefdoms, indulging in wine and sex every day.

The people thought for a while that after the death of Lord Xinling, Wei State lost its former glory, and there was no possibility of rising again.

Wang Ben smiled contemptuously at this trend, and said in a mocking tone: "King Wei lost the hearts of the people, so he was naturally defeated by the Qin army!"

The next day, under the escort of Wang Benjun, the monarch and ministers of Wei State went to Xianyang, the capital of King Qin.

The good news that Wei Wang was falsely captured came, and the court of Qin State was full of joy.

Qin is an old enemy to Wei!

All the crises in the Qin State in the early Warring States Period came from the Wei State. Before the Qin State's reform was successful, the Wei State had been the most powerful force suppressing the Qin State for nearly a hundred years.

From Qin Xiangong's period, Liang Zi, the feud between the two countries, had already been forged, and the land of Hexi was annexed by Wei State. After Xiaogong and Shang Yang's reform, he first recovered the lost land in Hexi and restored the hegemony of Qin Mugong's period.

From King Qin Hui to Queen Mother Xuan who was in power in the early days of King Qin Zhao, the main opponent of Qin Guodong has always been Wei Guo.

Therefore, as the state of Wei continued to decline, Wang Zeng of Wei bowed his head to the state of Qin after being frightened by Yang Duanhe and Huan Yu.

Qin Wangzheng watched his former strongest opponent humbly begging for mercy, and felt extremely relieved.

Claiming to be a vassal to the Qin State, the old Qin people have turned from hatred of Wei State to contempt for Wei State!
When the news of the demise of the Wei Kingdom came, Qin Wangzheng changed his previous restraint, and even issued an edict to the entire Qin Kingdom, and the whole country drank happily for a day. In the palace, Qin Wangzheng also made an exception and held a big banquet.

When Wei Wangzeng's army of monarchs and ministers came to Xianyang, they wanted to toast with the people of Qin. When they learned that the banquet held by Qin State was to celebrate the demise of Wei State, Wei Wangzeng's old face instantly became gloomy, and the officials of Wei State were also angry. , a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Some courtiers didn't even want to endure the humiliation and slammed their heads against the pillars!
After hearing the news, the king and ministers of the state of Qin let out a long sigh and laughed loudly, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more cheerful, but Lord Changping's face remained gloomy, as if there was something unspeakable.

Under Qin Wangzheng's questioning, Mr. Changping still broke the rules, but unexpectedly broke the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet.
