"Wang'er, what's wrong? Are you full? Qin Zheng quickly put away his emotions and asked with a smile at Hu Hai.

Hu Hai shook his head: "Father, Hu Hai is not full, Hu Hai just thinks that his father is not full, so he brought it to you." ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of watermelon like a trick and handed it to Qin Zheng like a treasure.

"Father has long been ...... Okay, we're half of us. Qin Zheng looked at Hu Hai's sincere gaze, and could only change his words, and a trace of warmth could not help but swell in his heart.

Qin Zheng took the watermelon, touched Hu Hai's head with his other hand, and thought: "I don't even have a son, I have a son who hurts..."

Hu Hai also picked up a piece of watermelon and asked curiously: "Father, Hu Hai wants to ask you, where did this watermelon come from?" How come I've never seen this before? ”

Qin Zheng explained: "Oh, didn't my father say that it is now after 1665? These ingredients are all from foreign countries. Actually, there are many more in the ice room, but the people in the imperial dining room don't know how to cook. ”

After hearing this, Hu Hai's two big eyes flashed: "Is there a very powerful cook in a foreign country?" Let's go get them, I'm going to eat one for a meal!" ”

Qin Zheng smiled and scratched the bridge of Hu Hai's nose: "Haha, little gluttonous cat!" The Father will do it for you later. ”

Hu Hai stuck out his little tongue and smiled slyly: "Hehe, thank you, father." Father, are you happy? ”

"Huh?" Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his emotions had not been hidden from his son at all. Then he shook his head and complained in his heart: "So I understand it so well?" ”

"Hu Hai doesn't know why his father is unhappy, but Hu Hai knows how to make his father happy." Saying that, Hu Hai handed over another piece of watermelon and looked at Qin Zheng with an encouraging look.

Qin Zheng didn't pick it up, but leaned over, took a bite hard, and boasted: "Mmmm... It's so sweet! ”

It's a pity that this warm scene didn't have time to be maintained, and Zheng Ling's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty! Emergency! ”

Qin Zheng hurriedly wiped his mouth and said to Hu Hai apologetically: "Wang'er, I will go over and have a look first, and you can eat it yourself." ”

Although Hu Hai was a little disappointed, he still said obediently: "Oh... Father, go quickly. ”

Qin Zheng left the dormitory at this time, and when he saw Zheng Ling, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zheng Ling replied in a panic: "The rogue gangsters in the west made a rebellion, broke through several villages, and fled after looting. ”

"It's a rogue again!" As soon as he mentioned these people, Qin Zheng was angry.

The nomads in the north have long since moved away, and Han Wei in the east has also been defeated; Although the merchants in the southeast have not yet replied, they do not mean to fight evil; There are many mountains in the south, and there are few living people in winter.

In the entire area of Daqin, there is only the west side that jumps the most. There are also a lot of mountains on the west side of the key, and there are not many people, so you can't take the Liukou at all.

Qin Zheng frowned: "Let's go, go to the main hall first!" ”

On the other side, the civil and military officials who were still eating Haisai's future "delicacies" just now have returned to the main hall and are standing, but everyone is dissatisfied with the interruption of the banquet.

"Damn, these rogues really don't stop, I haven't eaten that lamb skewer yet!"

"Isn't it? I've only just taken a bite of that courgette, damn it! ”

Yingyi was also very unhappy, but before she could complain, she saw Qin Zheng rushing here, and immediately shouted: "Quiet! Your Majesty is here! ”

Only then did everyone unwillingly end their "greetings" to the Liukou, and saluted in the direction of Qin Zheng: "Welcome Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as Qin Zheng raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, the civil and military officials saw that Qin Zheng's face was as black as the bottom of the pot!

Qin Zheng slapped the table and roared: "You guys are saying that the five or six thousand Han army has been defeated, and the one thousand elite Wei army has also been defeated, why can't you deal with a few rogues?" ”

The civil and military officials were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain. After being silent for a while, Wang Li stood up and analyzed:

"Your Majesty, although the minister has never been to the front line in the west, I have heard some wounded soldiers who have retreated mention that the horses and weapons of the Liukou are different from my Great Qin.

I don't know why their horses can run on snowy slopes without slipping and falling, and they can also use various weapons on their horses without being afraid of falling at all! ”

Qin Zheng felt that there was a problem when he heard it, but what he thought about was not why Liukou could do it, but why Qin Jun couldn't do it.

"It seems that the cavalry in the TV series uses all kinds of weapons, right?" Qin Zheng whispered to himself.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Wang Li asked suspiciously.

Qin Zheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, what does our army use on the horse?" ”

"Well, although the horse is fast, it is very bumpy, and in order to keep the gravity stable, there are not many weapons that can be used.

Generally bows and swords, our army often uses short swords, you can stop the movement before the battle, in order to facilitate the use of bows and crossbows, only elite knights can use long-handled weapons.

However, the wounded soldiers said that many of the rogues used long weapons, although mainly spears. But they can really fight while being as steady as Mount Tai! ”

Qin Zheng nodded, thinking that Liukou must have been later than Qin Han, because he remembered that except for the halter, the horse was invented later.

For example, the pedal and saddle are tools that make riding more stable and convenient, while the horse's shoe is to prevent slip and protect the horse's hooves. It can be said that the invention of these instruments is the guarantee that the cavalry will shine on the battlefield.

Qin Zheng continued to ask: "That rogue has come so many times, and no one has been captured?" Isn't there even someone to ask questions about? ”

It's a pity that Qin Zheng's words asked the whole hall and fell silent again. These guys in the west come and go like the wind, and they leave after grabbing, and they make Qin Jun's legs thin, but they don't want to flow down to "be guests".

Qin Zheng glanced around, his face became worse, and he was angry: "Okay, okay, I'm going to set up a banquet for you, can't you do this thing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers were ashamed one by one, especially Wang Li and others, who had just been awarded, and their faces were as suffocated as eggplants.

Qin Zheng was very angry when he saw them like this, but he also knew that this was a generation difference of hundreds or thousands of years, and no matter how much he scolded, it would be useless.

At this time, Zhao Gao tentatively suggested: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the heavenly thunder used in the confrontation with the Wei army seems to have a miraculous effect on the horses, do you think we have some for the Xitui defenders?" ”

In fact, Qin Zheng also thought of this, and to deal with "high technology", it is natural to use higher technology, but unfortunately Qin Zheng will not be able to do it for a while.

"Aiqing's idea is worth encouraging, but there are not many materials for Tianlei, and what we gave you last time is all our inventory." Qin Zheng said helplessly.

Now there is nothing to be done, and no one can make meaningful suggestions anymore.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng could only sigh: "First move the people in the west inward, and then let the defenders shrink and defend the big city." In the future, there are not enough people to go out of the city. ”

At this time, Dasi Nong Zilian suddenly became excited, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, this plan is very good! ”

Next to him, Zhao Gao thought to himself: "How can you rob my ass with thick eyebrows and big eyes?" Just as he was about to shout His Majesty 666 with a piece, he heard Zilian excitedly continue:

"Your Majesty, the west has never been a good place for farming, and the Liukou has come four or five times in less than a month, and each time he focuses on grabbing food and clothing, which is obviously a lack of food and clothing!

If we move the people inward, it will be a strong wall and a clear wilderness, and without the food in our village, how long will they be able to hold on?

Wouldn't it be easy for us to gather our forces at the beginning of next year, when the spring of the next year is sluggish, to deal with the rogues who have been freezing and starving for a winter? ”

When everyone present heard this, it seemed that this was really the reason, and they all praised Zilian in their hearts: "He is worthy of being an expert in farming!" ”

Qin Zheng also nodded, so far Zilian's plan should be the safest, although he didn't do anything, and gave up a lot of territory, but as long as he could eliminate the hidden danger of the rogues, it would be worth it.

However, Qin Zheng still added: "I also said that it is now after 1665, and the flexibility of the Liukou cavalry is superior.

Whether I'm an enemy, a friend, or a barbarian, I have the advantage of learning, so I decided to let someone from the Lingzhou Hui Department teach us some new techniques.

That Dasi Nong, you bring the disciples of the Mo family and the people of Shaofu and craftsmen, ask more and learn hard. It's better to write them all down and teach them to more people, you know? ”

"Hey!" Zilian replied with a respectful bow.
