Chapter 428: The Three Treasures of the Cavalry and the Cement
If the Tui En Order passes, it will definitely suppress the meritorious deeds of the Great Qin and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and even the old clan, the landlord can't raise his head.
It's a poisonous ploy!
It can make the family mess up, and the court soldiers can sit on the fisherman's profit without blood, but this poisonous plan is not suitable for now.
Although Qin Wangzheng shocked the Qin State, after all, the Great Qin had not yet annexed the world at this moment, and Yingzheng did not reach the point where he could suppress the entire Central Plains with the power of one person.
At this moment, the implementation of the Tui En Order will be half the effort.
Therefore, Ying Gao only mentioned it, and did not say it to Ying Zheng, after all, under the eyes of Great Qin, stability is the main thing.
As soon as he thought of this, Yinggao turned his words and turned towards Yingzheng, saying: "Father, this is not the time to launch the Tui En Order, at least after the annexation of the Six Kingdoms by Great Qin. ”
"Father, the most important thing at the moment is war, the various systems of Great Qin are aimed at expanding the territory, only by expanding the territory can the invincibility of the Great Qin Ruishi be guaranteed!"
Speaking of this, Ying Gao paused, his tone was quiet, and said: "Father, when you are free, have you ever thought that when Great Qin annexes the Six Kingdoms, there will be no more land rewards within Great Qin?" ”
"If there is no rice that crops twice a year, and Daqin, which has just experienced the baptism of war, has just been unified, it is not qualified to continue the conquest."
"If at that time, the imperial court was short of food and grass, and the foreign conquest was powerless, and the Great Qin Ruishi who was invincible in the world by relying on the military merit title system, would he still be invincible in the world?"
……
This is the biggest drawback of Great Qin, but because this is the troubled times of the Warring States, this drawback is not obvious.
If Yinggao didn't mention it, Yingzheng and others would not have found out at all.
The princes of Gon above the Great Qin Dynasty only thought of the Great Qin annexing the Six Kingdoms, unifying the Central Plains, and establishing an unprecedented kingdom.
They also only thought of this, but they did not think of the situation after the establishment of the Great Qin Empire.
Therefore, the Great Qin Empire has always had drawbacks, and the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin have not thought so far, so that there will be too many drawbacks in the future.
Therefore, at this time, Yinggao will mention it to Yingzheng.
He hoped that Ying Zheng would think about this matter carefully, after all, the future of Great Qin would become even more brilliant.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was also slightly stunned, he had to admit that what Ying Gao said was very reasonable, in this era, they only considered half of it.
"At this point, Lone will discuss with others, and there will always be a solution, but do you think that this time when you go south, who else can go south besides you?"
Hearing this, Yinggao hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, looked calm, and said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that in addition to the sons, there should be generals and local politicians to follow. ”
"This means that in addition to the military generals, a part of the civil judges is also needed to accompany them, and for the locals, they will change customs and popularize Qin law."
"Set up an official office, be responsible for governing the place, and provide a steady stream of grain and grass for Daqin, as for the matter of digging the galloping road, Erchen believes that his father must have certain ideas in his heart."
"However, Erchen knows a method, which is developed in Erchen's house, called cement, which can be mixed with sand and gravel, and then solidified, as strong as bluestone."
"It can be used to dig a gallop road, and in the house of the same son, the three treasures of the cavalry have been developed, which are the horseshoe, the saddle, and the stirrup."
"The Three Treasures of the Cavalry?"
Ying Zheng keenly sensed the meaning of Ying Gao's words, and hurriedly looked towards Ying Gao and said, "Tell me about Gu in detail, what is the use of these three treasures?" ”
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao drank the tea in the tea cup, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Horseshoe, also known as horseshoe, is an iron hoof nailed to the hooves of horses, mules and other livestock. ”
"According to research, the horse's hooves are composed of two layers, the horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, and they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of water.
"The use of horseshoes not only protects the horses' hooves, but also makes the horses' hooves grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial for both riding and driving."
"A saddle is a seat made of a leather-covered wooden frame, stuffed with soft objects, shaped to fit the rider's buttocks, and raised at the front and back."
"It is an instrument that is placed on the back of a mule and a horse for a man to sit on. High at both ends and low in the middle. The saddle is the key to the union of man and horse. ”
"A stirrup is a pair of pedals hung on either side of a saddle for the rider to use as a horse to step on his feet when he gets on the horse and when he rides."
"The role of stirrups is not only to help people get on the horse, but more importantly, to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding a horse, and at the same time effectively protect the safety of the rider."
"The biggest function of the stirrup is that it can free both hands, and the cavalry can rely on the control and balance of the feet to charge, stab, chop and strike on the horse, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the cavalry."
"In the days when there were no saddles and stirrups, people had to ride on the back of a bare horse, and only by grasping the reins or mane and clamping the horse's belly with their legs so that they would not fall off while the horse was galloping."
"But this method is very unreliable, first of all, it is easy to get tired after a long horse, and at the same time it is difficult to use the bow and arrow effectively on the back of a running horse, and in close combat, the rider cannot use the sword and spear as he pleases, and the slash or assassination misses, and the collision of the blades of both sides can cause the rider to slide off the horse at any time."
"Therefore, the training is extremely difficult, the scale is difficult to shape, and the combat effectiveness is not high."
……
Speaking of this, Ying Gao turned to Ying Zheng and said: "With the horseshoe, you can increase the service life of the war horse, so that the war horse will not be easily damaged in a march." ”
"With these three things, my Great Qin's cavalry can free their hands, and they are more elite than the cavalry of the Xiongnu and other nomads."
"It's just that at this stage, the iron-smelting technology of my Daqin has not yet broken through, and it is very difficult to forge, and the iron-smelting technology of the six countries of Shandong is far more advanced than that of Daqin."
"Therefore, the retainers sealed the mansion and did not let it out. However, the coal veins in Sanchuan County have been continuously mined, which will promote the development of Daqin iron smelting technology. ”
"Nowadays, Daqin only needs to find iron ore veins to wait for the development of iron-smelting technology, and then gradually let Daqin transform from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age."
"My Great Qin Bronze Technology is the best in the world, and the iron sword of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is far less sharp than my Great Qin Bronze Sword, why do you want to change?" Ying Zheng's eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but look towards Ying Gao and said.
For a long time, the slow development of iron smelting technology in Daqin has a large part of the relationship with this concept of the Daqin government and the opposition.
"Father, don't you think the forging of bronze weapons is too expensive?"
Ying Gao glanced at Ying Zheng, his tone was quiet, and said: "After the calculation of everyone in the laboratory, iron tools are much cheaper than bronze tools when they reach this level. ”
