Cao Tianci sat on the sleigh and flew forward, driving the employees who were hitchhiking, obviously the old man who often ran on this line, familiar with the road, and the sled ran extremely fast. Sitting on the sleigh with Cao Tianci was Cao Wending, the senior manager of the hitchhiker and horse shop, who is now also the top person in charge of the hitchhiker in Xinqin, and he came back this time to specifically supervise the departure of a batch of goods. This batch of goods was completely munitions and materials, and all of them were artillery and shells, including the small field guns that had just been researched by the Weapons Research Institute.

"We haven't equipped this kind of cannon on a large scale yet, so we will sell it to Xinqin first." On the sleigh, Cao Tianci shook his head and sighed.

"Childe, this kind of cannon has just been made, its performance is not stable, it often has accidents, and it is sold to the New Qin people on a large scale, and it is also saved so that these field guns can be tested in actual combat and then improved, there is nothing more than in the war to find the problems of these cannons." Cao Wending smiled: "There are many technicians in the Weapons Research Institute, but many of them are in the New Qin Army, find out the problem, find out the crux of the problem, and then improve it, and when our Han army begins to equip this kind of field artillery on a large scale, it will be completely finalized." ”

Cao Tianci smiled, it was not bad to use Xinqin as a testing ground for new weapons.

"With such a heavy snowfall, how long will it take us to get to Shule?" Looking at the long snowfield and the goose-featherlike snow still falling from the sky, Cao Tianci was a little worried.

"Childe, don't worry, when you reach the New Qin Realm, you, you will see something strange, which is very different from us here." Cao Wending smiled: "You let me sell it." ”

Cao Tianci snorted angrily, he hadn't seen anything, what else could be a novelty to open his eyes?

In fact, Cao Tianci was more than ten days later. But it was an eye-opener. In front of him, a dusty avenue appeared in front of him, surrounded by snow, but such a cement road, just like this, showed in front of him, his position is the dividing line between the Han and the new Qin in the desert, behind him, above the boundary of the Han, the road has long been buried by the snow. But on Xinqin's side, there was no snow on the road, and as far as he could see, all he could see was a thinly dressed guy, holding tools in his hand, and he was constantly cleaning on the road.

"What's this, what's this? How much manpower and material resources does this take? Cao Tianci was dumbfounded, he is now so rich that he can be said to be a big man. There is no way to do this.

"In our Han Dynasty, we can't afford this kind of style." Cao Wending smiled and said, "But in Xinqin, it really doesn't cost much?" Childe, do you know who these people are cleaning the roads? ”

Cao Tianci shook his head: "Criminal? Why are there still many people in shackles? Wear so little. How many days can it last? I'm afraid I'll freeze to death. ”

"People are dying every day." Cao Wending said lightly: "These people are all slaves. Xinqin has a large number of slaves, and these people are in Xinqin, hehe. It's about the same as a wild dog. The people of Xinqin didn't care about their lives or dead at all, they just gave them a little food that could barely save their lives every day, and these people nested in the snow nest at night. There are a lot of people who freeze to death every day. ”

Cao Tianci changed slightly, in a country like Dahan, where the law is improving day by day and the rights of citizens are being emphasized, he is really a little uncomfortable with this.

"Now the New Qin people are at war with Da Shi, this road is the lifeline of weapons and ammunition for the New Qin people, how dare Wang Jian slack off, the goods are in our territory, it will take half a month to get here from Mengchi, and you can reach Shule from here, five days is enough."

"How did the New Qin people get involved with the Great Cannibal now?" Cao Tianci changed color slightly. This made him a little worried about the mission of his trip.

"It was the big cannibal who hit first. However, in the battle of Kashgar, Wang Jian won a big victory, took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and now he is about to fight Mulu City. With our assistance in weapons, Wang Jian has defeated the unsuspecting cannibals, and now he is full of excitement! However, according to the information I know, Wang Jian's goal is to take down Mulu City and expand his defensive circle outward, so as not to be harassed by the big cannibals when the New Qin Territory is ploughed in the coming spring, and if he takes down Mulu City, he will not move forward, after all, the pressure on logistics is still quite large. Fighting this battle, I'm afraid that the little thing in Xinqin's warehouse will be almost gone, and no matter how far he goes, he won't have the ability to do so. If you want to start a new war, you have to prepare for a long time. ”

Cao Tianci nodded slightly. "I see, I'm relieved."

"Does Childe have any extremely important official business to go to Xinqin this time? I thought Gongzi was coming to Xinqin to inspect on behalf of the master? Cao Wending asked tentatively.

Cao Tianci smiled faintly, "When did I ever meddle in family affairs?" I'm on this trip, of course, on official business, but that's not something you can find out. ”

"Childe is right! However, if the son wants to go out in person, this matter must not be small. Cao Wending said with a smile.

Cao Tianci knew that the other party was an extremely smart person, and refused to say more on this: "Wait for a while, you will probably know, I think when the time comes, Wang Jian will definitely be inseparable from you, by the way, how is the hitchhiker still developing in Xinqin?" ”

"This is the only one, there is no semicolon!" Cao Wending laughed, "The conditions exchanged between the master and Wang Jian at the beginning made our hitchhiker gain a unique position in Xinqin, and it can be regarded as a win-win situation for both parties." In a year's time, our hitchhiker has established a perfect network in Xinqin, several main roads have been built, and it can be said that every day is making money, and we have contracted all the transportation tasks of the new Qin government and the army, which is not a lot of income. ”

"You also know how the hitchhiker company ceded most of the market from the Han Dynasty, and now in Xinqin, you are not afraid of causing Wang Jian's jealousy?" Cao Tianci asked.

"It's very different." Cao Wending shook his head and said, "Because there is a big man standing behind the hitchhiker." Wang Jian is not qualified to offend us now, offending us, isn't it just to offend the big man? Moreover, we are also very sensible, although we have only been in Xinqin for a year, but we have also donated a lot of property to Wang Jian, the principle of fine water and long flow, is originally the purpose of our hitchhiking! ”

"What else is going on?"

"The implementation of Chinese-style education, reading Chinese books, writing Chinese characters, these things are slowly being carried out, but it is much more difficult to do these things, Wang Jian is very concerned about this, and now we are just opening some good halls in various places, taking in some orphans, or buying some small slaves to carry out this work, if you want to carry it out on a large scale, the new Qin Dynasty will interfere." Cao Wending said truthfully: "Wang Jian is not stupid, he is fine, I estimate that he can see our intentions, this kind of soft knife is sometimes more powerful than artillery, and he is very tightly defended." ”

"Take your time, the water drops wear the stone, as long as you work hard, there will be a qualitative change one day." Cao Tianci said lightly.

Stepping on the border of Xinqin and changing into the latest carriage, the speed immediately increased, but what made Cao Tianci feel a little bad was that from time to time on both sides of the road, he could see frozen corpses thrown in the snow like this. Xinqin, this is really a strange country! Slaves, something that was almost extinct in the Central Plains, reappeared in the New Qin, and was still in the kingdom under the rule of such a person as Wang Jian.

"The advanced system will inevitably defeat the old system, and the wheel of history will not be shifted by the will of man, he will move forward at his own inherent speed." Cao Tianci's mind at this time was what the king said to him, as Gao Yuan's personal disciple, many words, a lot of cognition, Gao Yuan would never say it in public, but he would say it to him, so Cao Tianci's cognition of many things far exceeded that of people in this era.

The charcoal fire was burning in the carriage, it was very warm, Cao Tianci smiled and relaxed his limbs, and fell asleep comfortably.

This world, after all, will be a big man.

Just when Cao Tianci rushed to Shule City, the capital of Xinqin, day and night, in Mulu City, thousands of miles away, 50,000 Xinqin soldiers stood in formation, one by one phalanxes stood on the snowfield, silent, countless banners were blown by the strong wind, and the soldiers held the guns and knives in their hands tightly, even if the frozen wound on their hands came from the pain of piercing the heart, they did not dare to move. Wang Jian trained his troops in the military law of the Qin State, and if he violated it slightly, he would be cut off in two.

In addition to the long-range heavy artillery, more small field artillery was also included in the combat ranks.

In the autumn of this year, the Great Cannibal finally launched an attack on Xinqin again, after the Xinqin army under the command of Shule and Wang Jian defeated the Great Cannibal with artillery, Shenji crossbow and other newly obtained weapons, they pursued all the way to Mulu City, here, is the target of Wang Jian, take him, there will be a stronghold in front of the front, at least when the opponent comes again next year, the New Qin itself can react calmly.

Today, it's the last battle with your opponent.

The proud cannibals are disdainful of defending the city, almost all of the 20,000 cannibals are cavalry, at this moment, they are slowly approaching from afar, looking around, the 20,000 cavalry is almost all over the mountains, it seems that the field of vision is the cavalry of the other party, and on the other hand, Wang Jian's side, among the 50,000 troops, the cavalry is only 5,000, and the army that is shrunk together seems to occupy only a small area.

The attacking cavalry began to accelerate, and in the New Qin phalanx, the roars of the officers also began to sound, and the fuses of the heavy field guns began to hiss. (To be continued.) )
