You must master the vertical form, no matter how many digits there are through the vertical calculation, you can easily calculate it. Li Chen said in the classroom.

The students were unusually intelligent, even though they had never been exposed to vertical calculus. But when Li Chen taught them the vertical style, they were almost all thorough.

"Knock, knock, knock." The door of the classroom was opened, and Wang Jian beckoned to Li Chen, signaling him to come out.

"Old general, what's the matter?" Li Chen asked.

"Your Majesty summoned you, something happened to Baiyue." Wang Jian said earnestly.

"But Tu Sui was defeated." Li Chen asked tentatively. Assuming that the wheel of history is still on the right track, then this time should not be much different from the moment of Tu Sui's defeat in the previous life.

Li Chen had already reminded the First Emperor that the transfer of 300,000 troops could not be solved overnight. Sure enough, this defeat of Great Qin still came.

"This damn Tu Sui, the old man has warned him a long time ago not to trade. But it's good that he doesn't count if he dies, he has buried my 200,000 troops of Great Qin. Now there are only 100,000 remnants of the defeated army in this land of Baiyue, and it is difficult for Wu Anjun to save this situation even if he is alive. Wang Jian was simply gritting his teeth when he mentioned Tu Sui.

There are more than 5 million people and more than 100 small countries in this land of 100 Yue. Among them, Luo Yue, Ou Yue, Ou Hao, and Ou, West Ou, North Belt, District Wu, and the nine countries are the strongest.

Now it is precisely these nine countries that have sent a total of more than 500,000 troops to jointly oppose Qin.

The defeat of this war, like a thunderclap in early spring, struck the behemoth of Great Qin, and also cleaved the hearts of all the old Qin people.

"Guys, who's going to give me an explanation?" In the distance, Li Chen heard the first emperor's flat voice.

Yes, the First Emperor's voice was flat, and there was not a trace of anger to be heard. Perhaps, as the tycoon who crisscrossed the beach in the previous life said, this first-class person has the ability but no temper, the second-class person has the ability and temper, and the last person has no ability and temper.

"Listening to Your Majesty's tone, you shouldn't be angry, Wei Luzi, or you go in first." Outside the hall, Wang Jian whispered.

"Why don't you go in first, our two old men don't have good legs and feet, just walk in slowly." Wei Xuanzi said.

"I believe you give it to the ghost, you two bad old men are very bad." Li Chen looked at the old treacherous two and said.

"Bang."

"Someone came, picked off his official robe, and forked it out." As soon as Li Chen raised his foot to enter, he heard an angry rebuke from the main hall.

Hearing the news of the destruction of the 200,000 army, the First Emperor was not so angry, but after hearing this person say the words of peace, the First Emperor was really angry to the extreme.

"Your Majesty, I don't accept it, I'm for Daqin."

The man was crossed by the guards, shouting and struggling all the way.

Li Chen looked at this kid, he must remember his appearance, stay away from him next time. This kind of little expert in death, the farther away the better.

The First Emperor's attention to the frontier was far greater than anyone could have imagined, and Li Chen knew that this war with Baiyue was only afraid that it would have to be fought.

"Come in." The First Emperor looked at the three people who were holding on to the door.

"I tell you today that this battle must be fought."

"I'm an old Qin person, and I don't shed blood, and I don't stop dying. Someone broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, my old Qin people have never had such a atmosphere. The First Emperor looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and said in a voice.

"This is a national war, and it must be a protracted war. There is still enough surplus grain in the treasury, and His Majesty does not need to worry about logistics and grass. Nachishi said.

Since Li Chen popularized potatoes and sweet potatoes, this kind of grain with a huge yield and can be harvested in a few months has occupied the dining table of the people of Daqin, and grain and grass are no longer the problem of Daqin.

"Your Majesty, this battle is difficult to fight, there are no soldiers in the country." Wei Yizi said stubbornly.

Wei Xuanzi was the lieutenant of Great Qin, theoretically the first official of the Great Qin military, responsible for controlling the military of the whole country.

"Hmm." The First Emperor replied softly.

For a while, the atmosphere in the court was a little awkward, this was a rare war that civilian officials supported since the founding of the Great Qin, but the military generals thought that it could not be fought.

War should be something that insiders do, and the reason why civilian officials are willing to fight this war. It's because the treasury is now abundant and the pockets are bulging. These literati don't have to worry about the logistics of the army, and it has nothing to do with them as to who will fight the war.

As for the generals, they are well aware of Great Qin's embarrassment at this time, and the years of war have caused the proportion of young and strong people in Great Qin to decline rapidly. Crops can be ripe once a year, but a prime of life takes more than ten years to grow. The source of soldiers has now become a problem that Great Qin urgently needs to solve.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this can not win a battle without a soldier in a good general.

"I plan to recruit 300,000 troops again, and send 100 soldiers." The First Emperor pondered for a few seconds and said.

"Your Majesty, don't force it." Before everyone could speak, Li Chen retorted.

With a population of about 30 million, the Qin Dynasty raised an army of nearly two million. The ratio of civilians to soldiers has reached 15 to one, which is already a rather dangerous number.

War is not as simple as 15 people raising one soldier, and in the event of a single war, the number of civilians needed for the transportation of food, grass, and ordnance is probably far greater than the number of soldiers.

If the ratio between military and civilian is too large, it will inevitably bring down a country.

"Your Majesty, you can't be conscripted." Li Chen looked at the First Emperor again, shook his head slightly, and his face was full of solemnity.

How rich the Great Sui was in later generations, it was precisely because of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo that the national strength was exhausted, and finally the country was ruined.

Fighting, conscription, and consumption of grain and grass is a cycle. If you can fight and fight, then it is naturally better.

But if the battle is deadlocked, then it will fall into a vicious circle that can drag down Great Qin. Fighting a war requires a prime-of-age labor, and without a prime-age laborer to cultivate, Daqin's harvest will be reduced. Grain and grass are the key to occupying left and right, and the lack of grain and grass will make the battle more stalemate.

Therefore, today's Great Qin, this soldier, is impossible to recruit.

"Captain, how many soldiers can be mobilized in the country now?" The First Emperor asked at Wei Zi.

"Your Majesty, the legions of Meng Tian and General Wang Ben cannot be moved. The new army can't move, and if we remove the garrison corps in various places, we can only move 100,000 soldiers at most. Yu Yuzi first groaned for a while, and then said slowly.

"100,000, Baiyue still has 100,000 remnants, but which general is sure to break through Baiyue with 200,000 Qin troops." The First Emperor looked at the civil and military officials in the court and said slowly.

For a while, the court fell into an embarrassing atmosphere again, which should be the most embarrassing court meeting since the founding of the Great Qin.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wei Yizi seemed to want to say something.

"Your Majesty, the Baiyue Tree is high and the forest is deep. They burrowed into the woods, and we couldn't do anything about it. ”

"The person said that the whole people of this hundred Yue are soldiers, and this is a population of five million, and they want to conquer with an army of 200,000. I'm afraid it's ......" Seeing the embarrassed appearance of his old friend, Wang Jian relieved the siege.
