Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 207
The high priest mechanically shook his head, afraid that someone would accidentally block his life, and replied: "Your Majesty, there is no right or wrong point of view, just suitable or not!"

"The theory of Gaitian in the early years has been believed by people because of the limited level of cognition, but it cannot be denied that its views are wrong!"

"The theory of yin and yang also draws from the theory of Gaitian and further develops it into a new theory of round heaven and earth. The heavenly garden represents the cycle of heaven, and the place represents the creatures on the ground. "

"And the armillary sphere bestowed by heaven also broke the views that I believed in, further proving the relationship between heaven and earth, but it cannot deny the error of the theory of yin and yang, but this view is no longer suitable for the times!"

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, his ferocious face eased a lot, which made the high priest heave a sigh of relief.

The high priest's forehead was wet with cold sweat, and his back felt chilly. He almost stepped into the gate of hell and couldn't get out.

Fortunately, the high priest Ji Zhizhi, since astronomy and science can no longer solve the problem, it will rise to philosophy to answer doubts.

However, the high priest also had doubts in his heart: Could it be that the end of astronomy is the failure of philosophy?

Not allowing the high priest to think about it, Qin Wangzheng tossed his sleeves and threw himself up, stepping down the white jade steps slowly, touched the armillary sphere, and said solemnly: "In this case, the high priest is responsible for pushing the armillary theory to the end. The whole country, tell the people all over the world!"

The high priest nodded heavily, and slowly stepped into the hall, his tense expression finally came down.

The imperial aura almost made the high priest speechless, but after getting away, he felt relaxed.

The high priest did not stay, but ordered his attendants to carry the armillary sphere into the mansion. After further research, he pushed the "Huntian Theory" to the whole country, so that the common people could understand astronomy.

After the high priest left, the servant stepped into the hall, presented a horseshoe, and said slowly: "This is a horseshoe made by Qin Mo according to your majesty's idea and according to the drawing of the minister, please Check it out!"

Qin Wangzheng showed a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "In this case, order the craftsmen to make 15 horseshoes and wear them on the horseshoes."

With the protection of horseshoes, there is no need to worry about severe wear and tear on the keratin, and the horse can gallop thousands of miles, walking on the grassland like walking on the ground.

Horseshoes, stirrups, and saddles are popular in the whole army. With the Daqin iron weapons, wouldn't Daqin's iron cavalry be invincible?
Before Qin Wangzheng was happy, an urgent report from eight hundred miles spread to Zhangtai Palace: Hungeng, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, and Xinli in the north had been conquered by Maodun. They were willing to submit to the Huns and Provide horses, cattle and sheep, grain and grass.

Qin Wangzheng clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless pit, filled with murderous intent.

The five northern kingdoms surrendered to Maodun, and together with the Loufan, Baiyang, Linhu, and Yanyan four tribes, the Xiongnu became even more powerful.

Although the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty were strong and their weapons were sharp, they were still a little bit against the huge Hun allied forces.

The new wind swept across the imperial capital of Xianyang, and the news spread like wildfire, quickly spreading to every corner of the imperial capital of Xianyang.

The people at the frontier were shocked. There must be a war between the Central Plains and the Xiongnu. In order not to hurt their families and relatives, the people migrated to the Central Plains one after another.

The sharp increase in the number of refugees in the Guanzhong area made the King of Qin worried. The prime ministers on the left and right pacified the refugees, provided relief to the people, and also urged the people to move back.

However, the large-scale construction of the Great Wall and Chidao at the border made the people in Jiuyuan, Shangjun, Yunzhong, Daijun, and Yanmen even more uneasy.

In desperation, the government could only provide funds to assist the people in relocating and warned them not to cause unrest.

Wang Lizheng transferred the peasants from the Guanzhong area to Yunzhong County to assist Meng Tian in building the Great Wall and Chi Road.

At the same time, in order to be on guard against Xiongnu misconceptions during the migration, once discovered, they would be escorted to Yunzhong Prison and handed over to Tingwei for interrogation.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu sent scouts four times successively, from Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun to spy on the military situation, and they were all detected and escorted by Mengtian, Wangli, Qiang, and Li Xin who were guarding the county. To internal history.

But the scouts never confessed their missions, Qin Wangzheng could only be cruel, beheaded them all, and ordered the heads of thirty scouts to be sent to the court of the Huns.

On the surface, Mao Dun was polite, and angrily scolded the left and right Gudu Hou Ban for not doing his job well, so he sent scouts to Daqin. Have you forgotten the identity of the Xiongnu and Daqin's allies?
Then, in front of the Qin envoy, Mao Dun whipped the left and right bones three times, and the Qin envoy left satisfied.

But after watching the envoy of Qin leave, Mao Dun apologized to the two of them. This was just a show of favor for the envoy of Qin. He said with cold eyes: "King Zhao Zheng of Qin, you took our Hexi grassland and forced us to retreat [-] meters." Here, go to the frosty north to live as a herd!"

"I, Maodun, am not a broad-minded person, but a proper villain, and I will always retaliate against you!"

"In the coming year, I will call up the army, and I will be ashamed. I will convince you of your convictions. I can't help but want the land of Hexi, and I want you to cede Daijun, Shanggu and other places to me!"

In order to further fight against the Qin State, Mao Dun ordered the left and right wise kings and left and right bones to assist each other, mow soldiers and horses, and prepare sufficient cattle and sheep to feed the soldiers.

Mao Dun could see that in order to fight against Qin, Daqin also spent a lot of money, wooed the Yuezhi, built the Great Wall, built roads, recruited peasants on a large scale in Guanzhong, and transported grain and grass.

Moreover, the scouts sent by Maodun also found out that the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty wore stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes. These three pieces of horse equipment allowed soldiers who were not good at riding horses to mount their horses and charge into battle, comparable to the powerful cavalry of the Huns!

Coupled with the farming civilization, Chidao and Zhidao continuously provided food and grass, and Mao Dun's complexion could not help but become dignified.

In addition to daily training, Modu also wanted to win over allies as much as possible, so he surrendered his sights to Ji【ji】North Korea located on the Korean peninsula.

Mao Dun sent Zuo Xianwang to the Korean peninsula to meet with the Korean king Jizhun.

North Korea has always been unfriendly to the Central Plains, especially the country of Yan, who repelled them from Liaodong to the Korean peninsula and lost hundreds of miles of land.

It's just that North Korea is in a narrow country, and they haven't seen the outside world. They only think about revenge, and they think that the [-] elite soldiers in the country are invincible!

Therefore, King Zuoxian was only trying to lure him to profit, and he successfully persuaded the King of Joseon, who agreed to send troops to harass Daqin, and harass Daqin's Liaodong and Liaoxi counties.

The news spread like wildfire and quickly spread to Xianyang, the imperial capital. Qin Wangzheng's brows flashed with anger, and he said coldly: "It's a mere quasi-jun, with only [-] field troops in hand, and it's really ignorant to challenge the majesty of the heavens!"

Hundreds of officials in the court wrote letters to advise and take advantage of the fact that the Huns and the Qin Dynasty were not at odds with each other to give Ji Zhun a look.

But there was a faint smile on Qin Wangzheng's face, and he said happily: "Li Si, I entrust you with an important task!"
