Xianqin Multiverse Empire

Chapter 12: 25 Soldiers

"Furthermore, the Wudafu cannon four years ago was made of pure copper. Most of the raw materials are copper. It is not so much a cannon as it is money! Not to mention the extremely high cost, the weight is also extremely heavy. It’s also very troublesome to transport because of the mechanism at home.”

"And in the past four years, with the cooperation of our public losers, the Mo family and the Shaofu, we finally invented the more advanced general cannon and the great general cannon that was just invented last month."

Having said this, Gongshuchou excitedly waved his right hand which had turned into an iron claw a few times.However, those present who knew the power of these two cannons did not laugh at him.

"Among them, the general cannon is extremely powerful, but its weight has been reduced. It is made of fine steel, and it is much easier to transport. As for the power, it can smash the walls of the county city with one blow."

"The Great General's Cannon is prepared for the capital. It only takes one shot to blow a huge gap in the capital. With the Great General's Cannon, there is no need to besiege the city anymore."

"In addition to these two types of artillery, we have also prepared many secret weapons. As for the inventions on farm tools, there are even more. It would take three days and three nights to talk about it."

After Gong Shuchou sat down, it was Meng Tian who stood up. Now he is no longer the general who is beside Ying Zheng.No matter how powerful a talent is, if it is not experienced, it will eventually disappear from everyone.

So he became the director of the newly established staff department. The staff department has only been established for two years now, and there is no record of success, so his director is only at the sixth rank in terms of official position.

However, no one dared to underestimate him because of this, because the chief of staff is a humble and powerful position, not to mention that he has a grandfather of a general.

"Just now, several seniors have explained the advantages of Daqin from various aspects such as agriculture and artillery. Next, let me talk about the military's preparations and views on this matter."

Standing in the center, Meng Tian explained in an orderly manner the mobilization of troops, the dispatch plan, and various preparation plans.

"Since the king took power, the army has never been short of food. The soldiers have also worked hard. We have divided the army into soldiers and militias according to their strength."

Zhanbing is a professional soldier. They enjoy the blessings of [-]. They have to train seven days a week, and they only have three days off every month. Only at the end of the year, there is a small long vacation that lasts for half a month.

However, at the same time as the [-] blessings, what they eat and use is also the best. Most of the salted fish that Lu Xiaofeng transported from the world went into their stomachs. The empire has slowly improved over the past few years. In the pig farming industry, most of the newly born pigs also entered their stomachs.

There is enough rice, three meals a day, and meat every day. Wei Liaozi gets excited every time he sees the resources consumed. After watching the resource consumption every time, he has an urge to reduce the military's treatment.

However, impulsiveness is always just impulsive. Today's Great Qin puts the army first, and the best is given to the army first. Wei Liaozi still understands the truth, but he understands it, but he still feels distressed!

"Thanks to the support of the king and the prime minister, today's warriors are all practicing martial arts. Although there are relatively few people who have cultivated their internal energy, they have already laid the foundation and entered the realm of self-cultivation and foundation building."

The beginning of the road of cultivation is to refine oneself to build a foundation, and then to refine essence to transform qi, refine qi to transform god, refine god to return to emptiness, and refine emptiness to join the way.

The so-called self-refining and foundation building are actually laying the foundation.To put it in scientific terms, it is to raise to the limit of the human body.

Human beings have limits, and the limits of ordinary people are two to three times the normal average quality of ordinary people.Refining oneself and building a foundation is to constantly train oneself to reach the limit of the physical body.Only in this way can the inner qi cultivated during refining and transforming qi be of higher quality and more durable.

"Although they are still laying the groundwork, their strength has at least doubled. Now everyone is wearing steel armor, but they can still run fast. When chasing and killing the enemy, even if the enemy abandons weapons and all heavy objects , can’t outrun them who are wearing steel armor.”

"Nowadays, our army's military rations are mixed with rice, vegetables, salt, etc., which are continuously stir-fried and processed layer by layer. The shelf life is as long as several months and the quality is excellent. However, South Korea's military rations are still a small amount of millet mixed with a large amount. Wild vegetables, even so, are often not enough to eat."

Speaking of this, Meng Tian took out two bags, one of which was like biscuits in pieces, and the other contained not only grain but also soil.

Although Han Fei, Zhang Liang, and Wei Zhuang are all working hard, South Korea's national strength is not good enough, and it cannot be changed by their hard work.It is the result of Wei Zhuang's continuous efforts to be able to do this kind of millet mixed with soil, instead of the previous soil mixed with millet.

"The armor of our army is the latest forged steel armor. The sword cuts on it without any damage, not even a scratch. The soldiers of the Korean army only wear cloth armor and bamboo armor."

"All soldiers in our army wear steel armor. Even the militiamen wear well-made paper armor, which is comparable to iron armor. However, not one of the 100 soldiers in the Korean army may have iron armor."

"Our army's arrows, the arrows are made of fine steel and have a strong armor-piercing ability. There are blood grooves on them. Once they enter the body and bleed heavily, it is difficult to heal. And Han Jun..."

From the beginning to the end, Meng Tian talked about it for a long time and in detail, and everyone listened patiently.

Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated!

"A militiaman in our army costs [-] yuan, and a soldier costs [-] yuan. A soldier in South Korea costs [-] yuan for equipment."

"In the end, the total population of Daqin is 130 million, all of which are under the control of the imperial court. The number of professional soldiers is 25, and the number of militia is 60."

"The total population of South Korea is 500 million, but the combined population of savages, slaves, and nobles is 180 million, and the total population of the Korean court is only 320 million."

"In the past four years, the King of Han has not cultivated his life well, but has continued to reform in an attempt to fight against our Great Qin. With a population of 320 million, he supported an army of 40. The result is that not only the people can't survive, but even the army looks pale. .”

"Hey, according to the information from the Black Ice Platform, the people in South Korea are really in dire straits. Even Han Fei and Wei Zhuang had a fierce conflict." Li Si said suddenly.

"In order to fight against the Great Qin, Wei Zhuang advocated the reform to the end and directly attacked the nobles. But this decision was jointly opposed by Zhang Liang and Han Fei."

"There are even many nobles who have secretly fallen in love with Daqin, just waiting for the Daqin army to pass by. In this way, Wei Zhuang is the real hero. With his own power, the Korean nobles who have tossed together are united in Daqin, You really deserve to be the descendant of Guigu!"

Chapter 13: Are you Korean?You are Korean!

"Qu Da, Qu Da, I want to ask you a question."

"It's not big or small, you want to call me big brother, if you have any questions, ask."

These are two brothers, Qu Da is the elder, he is 26 this year, he is the leader of a hundred soldiers among the soldiers, and he has a bright future.

But in order to support his younger brother Qu Er, he never got married.He said he was a younger brother, but in fact he was brought up by Qu Da, and he was no different from his son.

"The newspaper said that our surname Qu has two origins. One is the son of King Wen of Zhou, Zhaogong, and the other is the descendant of Tang Shuyu, the second son of King Wu of Zhou. But no matter which one comes from King Wen of Zhou, it is the real descendant of the Yellow Emperor."

Hearing this, the tall and tall Qu Da suddenly had a feeling of mist, subconsciously said: "Well, what then?"

"Speaking of which, we are also descendants of nobles, no worse than those nobles, and our ancestors were also rich!" Qu Er said a little excitedly.

"so what?"

Seeing Qu Da put down the clothes in his hands, Qu Er subconsciously took a step back, he couldn't be beaten, he couldn't be beaten, and Qu Da would become angry from embarrassment.

"Ahem, according to what the newspaper said, isn't it true that we, the Koreans, and even the people of Zhao and Wei are all in the same family?"

"We are all descendants of Huangdi or Yandi. If we are really a family, why do we still have to fight? And aren't we from Qin? When did we become a family with South Korea and Zhao?" Qu Er asked directly.

What the hell?

I Quda is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and Koreans are also descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so I Quda is a Korean?

No, no, why am I Korean?I am an out-and-out Qin native!

"Qu Er, tell me clearly, you brat, how did I, Qu Da, become a Korean! If you can't explain clearly, watch out for your ass!"

Snapped

"Qu Da, you're back, why are you playing Qu Er as soon as you come back, what's wrong with him?"

The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking village girl who brought a few cakes when she came over. Watching the two brothers take out the cakes directly: "Eat the cakes first, and then we will talk after eating the cakes."

Qu Da, who was blunt and sonorous just now, suddenly shrank and became cautious, not even daring to speak loudly.

"This kid deserves to be beaten. He actually said that I am Korean. You, Xiugu, judge. Although my Qu family is not a nobleman, my ancestors have been from Qin for eight generations."

"I didn't, it's Qu Da you talking nonsense!"

"Why am I talking nonsense, you didn't say this all. The surname Qu is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and the Koreans are also descendants of the Yellow Emperor. If they are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, then they are a family. Then I will become a Korean?" Qu Da He widened his eyes and said.

Qu Er really wanted to refute, but seeing Qu Da's raised right hand, he could only hold back his mouth, without saying a word, tears were about to flow out of his eyes.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in my ear: "Hehe, Brother Qu, you misunderstood, I also read the statement in the newspaper. The statement about the descendants of the Yellow Emperor is not a problem. We are basically the second generation of Yan and Huang after Zhu Xia. descendant of God."

"As for the statement that we and the Koreans are a family, there is no problem, because South Korea will soon become a part of the empire. The current propaganda in the newspapers is just to digest South Korea better and faster."

"That's it, that's what I thought, and it turned out that Qu Dayou..."

Snapped

"What's it called? Is it wrong to hit you? If you didn't make it clear, how could I make a mistake? It's because you are smart, Xiugu, and you figured it out right away. clear."

"I didn't actually come up with this, it was the village chief who said it."

The village head is a very young scholar who has passed the second round of the examination and has been trained. He is the most educated person in the whole village.Even though Qu Da often stayed in the barracks and seldom went home, he knew the reputation of the village head.

"It's the village head. He's from outside. He's read books and seen the world. He's really different from ordinary people like us."

"Qu Da, I heard that the empire is about to go to war?"

"Well, the order from above has come down, give us three days off, and after three days, the army will gather and then go to war with South Korea."

Speaking of this, Qu Dashi came to Xiu Gu's side and grabbed her hands: "I have always kept your thoughts in my heart, Xiu Gu, but for the sake of Qu Er, I have always pretended not to understand. "

"However, a few days ago, the old Wang next door cried all night in the barracks. After asking, he found out that the girl he likes has already married. I thought of you at that time. Fortunately, you are still here. Not married."

"I've made it clear, I want to marry you. Even if we suffer from poverty and hardship together, I will marry you. But don't worry, I am now the commander of a hundred soldiers among the soldiers, and the military meritorious rank is a fifth-level doctor. It’s not as good as a nobleman, but life is still decent, and you won’t suffer too much after you get married..."

The two talked about it for a long time and it was done.Qu Da is an orphan whose parents died early, and Xiu Gu is also an orphan. They both agree that things will be simple.

That night, Xiugu didn't leave. On the second day, Qu Daxie and Qu Er helped Xiugu move, so they were considered together.

Three days later, Qu Da supported his waist with both hands, touched his aching kidneys and said, "Xiu Gu, when this battle is over, we will have a grand wedding. At least twenty tables will be set up then." , I will definitely not let you feel wronged."

"Well, this is an insole that I have sewn long ago. It is made of cotton grown in the east of the village. This insole is very warm and soft. You must take care of yourself. Swords and guns have no eyes. Be careful when you charge. Now I am not alone, you still have me and Qu Er."

The young couple babbled a lot, but they were reluctant to part, and it was not until the time was approaching that Qu Da left home reluctantly.

This time, we must make military achievements and make a difference!

On this day, there are not a few people who make up their minds like Qu Da and make a future.The newspaper has already stated the credit clearly and clearly.The merit of ascending first, the merit of breaking the city, the merit of beheading the general...

……

In just seven days, Qin State mobilized 15 soldiers and 30 militiamen, known as an army of one million!

Today is the time for the vanguard [-] soldiers and [-] militiamen to leave!

On the border of Qin State, Ying Zheng is now in military uniform, with a black armor and a black helmet with a fiery red feather on his head, which is very conspicuous.

Now he is standing at the highest and most conspicuous position above the pass, personally greeting these troops who are about to leave the border to attack South Korea.

"Hello, soldiers!"

"Long live the king!"

"Hello, soldiers!"

"For the Empire!"

Chapter 14: Times Have Changed Again!

In the royal palace of South Korea, the three giants Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, and Han Fei gathered again.

In the past four years, the three have joined forces to reform South Korea, mainly based on plagiarism.However, Han Fei is not an idiot, he also understands the principle of localization, and many policies have been changed according to the actual situation in South Korea.

As for the military merit system and the imperial examination system, he wanted to copy them, but the nobles in the country refused to let them, and there was too much resistance. After trying it once, and facing the possible consequences that would reverse the whole country, the three of them flinched.

If the fundamental system remains unchanged, the past four years have been nothing but sewing and mending.If you want to say where the biggest change is, it is estimated to be militarism. With a population of 320 million controlled by the royal family, it is forced to support 40 troops.

Originally, the population was small, only 320 million. After removing the 40 army, only 280 million were left. On average, every seven people had to support one soldier.

The result is that in just four years, the common people are almost unable to survive.Every month, common people rose up, but most of them were suppressed.

Even the so-called 40 troops are all hungry, and they only eat twice a day.But even so, the treatment is better than four years ago.

Four years ago, the treatment of the army was to mix some rice with the sand, but now the rice is mixed with some sand, so the military spirit is still there, and the army is still in control. This is why South Korea can continue to maintain such a militarism. reason.

"This time, the Qin State is really serious. This time, they didn't cover up at all. The 15 soldiers and 30 militiamen have already assembled." Zhang Liang said first.

It is winter now, and according to the rules handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, there will be no wars in winter.At this time, cotton was not popularized on a large scale. Not every soldier was as rich as Shao Siming and could afford silk stockings. They couldn't even afford a cotton coat!

The weather is cold and there are no cotton-padded clothes on the body. The weather alone can reduce the combat power of the army by half, and even more soldiers died of freezing than those who died in battle.

So far, apart from Bai Qi, who once used this to send troops in winter and won a big victory, no other general has done so.

"The state of Qin is really rich now. According to intelligence, even the militiamen have been issued paper armor and several sets of new clothes. If there is a long-term confrontation in the wild, our soldiers may freeze to death before the decisive battle. "Speaking of this, Zhang Liang looked at Wei Zhuang.

To be honest, Wei Zhuang's heart is also heavy.

Especially after these four years of reform, he is no longer naive as before.Although he wasn't naive back then, or even cruel, he was far from being as cruel as he is now.

"The army has already made preparations, but South Korea's national strength is too weak. If it falls into a protracted war, it will undoubtedly lose. Your Majesty needs to make preparations early." Wei Zhuang said earnestly.

"As for the Qin army's early dispatch of troops, I have already expected it. In the past few years, I have not been a great general for nothing. South Korea has made a lot of preparations, and many places have replaced mud walls with stone walls."

"As for the small city on the border, its geographical location is critical, and stone walls were laid out early, and there is still an elite army inside just in case. Even if the Qin army comes from the whole country, it can defend for half a month."

In this era without cannons, a strong city wall, plus enough people's hearts and food, can easily defend for several years even if it faces ten times the land.

Nowadays, there are no antibiotics and no large-scale doctors. Life is extremely fragile. Once a soldier is injured, he may die. It is too difficult to not get injured in a siege battle.

In the era of Zhao Wuxie, the ancestor of Zhao State, the powerful ministers and nobles of Jin State led other nobles in the country and the main force of the domestic army to besiege Zhao Wuxie's lair. He himself lost his heart because of this, and he died without a place to bury him!

A strong city is difficult to attack, and it cannot be attacked by force unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the consensus of this era.Even in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang faced Hao Zhao's defense of Chen Cang, he was attacked by an army of [-], but in the end he gained nothing.

In Weizhuang's mind, even if the Qin army's vanguard puts all their efforts into it, they will definitely not be able to defeat it.Only when the main force of the Qin army arrives can the city be broken.

But by that time, he had already assembled an army to wait for work.When the Qin army is about to break through the city or the veterans of the Qin army are exhausted, it is time for the South Korean army to go out.
