Chapter 238: Departure for Fu Yu
Because Xiao He came from Xianyang, he chatted with Li Yang for a long time that day.
After Li Yang left the court, everything in the court and China was recounted, especially the promotion of the new policy, the counties and counties deceived the superiors and subordinates, and violated the Yang and Yin of the State Council.
After Li Yang listened, he didn't care at all, and told Xiao He with a smile that when the Xiongnu were unified and returned to the dynasty, it would be the day of the new land reform!
This made Xiao He extremely curious in his heart, what kind of trick did Li Yang have, and he would be so confident that he could turn over the clouds and rain, spin the world, and control the situation?
However, Li Yang seems to be deliberately trying to hang his taste, or he is profound, and refuses to reveal half a sentence.
There was no way, Xiao He had to change the topic and said: "Dean, this time my subordinates came and brought 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles, but now it seems that these 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles are not needed in the decisive battle of the Huns." ”
"Oh? In half a month, so much has been produced! Hearing this, Li Yang was a little surprised, in just half a month, He Zhang actually made 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles, which was beyond his imagination.
Xiao He said: "Because my Qin army and the Xiongnu used soldiers, He Zhang specially added dozens of production lines in order to share the worries of the dean, so he made 30,000 sets in half a month. ”
Li Yang nodded and boasted: "This He Zhang is really a talent!" ”
Xiao He nodded negatively and agreed.
To be honest, Li Yang was really shocked that He Zhang was in charge of the government.
Because there are not only all the skilled craftsmen in Daqin, but also a professional assembly line.
Yes, you heard it right, the generals of the Qin State are all assembly line production operations.
You know, assembly line production and standardization mode is a basic feature of modern production technology, can be said to be an important cornerstone of modern society, whether it is a building or a variety of modern equipment, are inseparable from the modular production model.
Before that, Li Yang felt that the assembly line production and standardization model was invented in the modern West, until he came to the Qin State and went to Jiangzuofu, he found that the Qin Dynasty had invented the original assembly line production and standardization model as early as more than 2,000 years ago, which was more than 2,000 years earlier than the West!
That is to say, the Qin Dynasty was the first country in the world to standardize the production of weapons, they had large-scale arsenals, and all the factories in the country produced weapons of the same standard quality.
For example, Qin's crossbow machine has only six or seven parts in total, with a low failure rate and easy to use, and Qin has used standardized molds for casting, which can be mass-produced on the assembly line in a short time. There is a trigger, it can aim, it can fire rapidly, and it is produced in a streamlined manner, what is this not a "gun"?
As for the "bullet", then it is even more exaggerated.
The arrows of the Qin State are all bronze arrows, divided into two sizes, the small one weighs about 50 grams, which is a light arrow used for long-range shooting, and the large 100 gram is a heavy arrow used for close armor piercing, but they are all standard three-sided prismatic arrows without exception.
Anyone who understands modern aerodynamics knows that the three-sided prismatic arrow design is close to the principle of aerodynamics, so it is not only powerful, but also ballistic, and it is a professional weapon designed for large-scale warfare. Although two thousand years have passed, Li Yang can still feel the iron and blood coldness of the Qin State during the Warring States Period.
It is no exaggeration to say that the tiger and wolf division of the Qin State to conquer the world is actually relying on the standardized equipment production process of the assembly line, in the equipment of the Qin Dynasty, whether it is arrows or crossbow arrows, the gap between them is very small, and it can be replaced at any time, and this is the core of the assembly line and standardization, this large-scale standardized production, perhaps the reason why the Qin Dynasty army is invincible.
In short, Li Yang admires the wisdom of the government and the strict adherence to standards and regulations. It is completely a collection of development, production, standardization as a whole, completely subverting the cognition of later generations.
Thinking that now that Wang Li and them had already set out on the expedition, the 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles left in the Great Wall camp could not be used for the time being, so Li Yang said: "You should take the 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles to Donghu and hand them over to Han Xin!" ”
Xiao He nodded.
Indeed, Donghu had just been unified, and its internal instability was still extremely unstable, so bringing these 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles over could not only make the Qin army more deterrent, but also multiply its combat power. After all, the Qin army that remained in Donghu only had a total of 70,000 people.
With 70,000 Qin troops, it is not easy to ensure that a Donghu does not cause chaos.
The next day, Xiao He also set off with the guards and 30,000 sets of stirrups and saddles, and went straight to Donghu.
Shangjun to Donghu, hundreds of miles, plus dozens of cars of equipment, so it took three days to arrive in Donghu.
As soon as he arrived in Donghu, Xiao He heard a news that shocked him - Han Xin and Su Jiao actually led a large army to fight against Fu Yu and Su Shen!
This simply stunned Xiao He.
Isn't this northern expedition to unify the Xiongnu?
How...... They didn't think it was enough to unify Donghu, and they even thought about destroying Fuyu and Su Shen together?
Thinking of this, Xiao He was simply dumbfounded, he was now an eye-opener. What kind of commander is this, what kind of soldiers do you bring, the people in the court, who would dare to think that Han Xin and others would dare to take 70,000 people, while shouldering the stability of Donghu, and at the same time thinking about going to destroy Fuyu and Su Shen?
Those are two countries with political powers!
Xiao He wiped a handful of cold sweat, and at the same time he was shocked in his heart, he was quite worried in his heart. Because of the entire Donghu, Han Xin only left 10,000 Qin troops to maintain the stability of Donghu.
However, after understanding, he learned that Han Xin and they had exhausted Donghu's youth, which made Xiao He feel a little relieved.
Therefore, he immediately equipped all the remaining 10,000 Qin troops with stirrups and saddles, and at the same time sent people to send the remaining 20,000 sets of stirrups and saddles to Han Xin, who was on his way to conquer Fuyu.
Because Xiao He knew in his heart that as long as Han Xin and them were undefeated, Donghu should not be in trouble. However, once Han Xin and them returned in a fiasco, then Donghu, who was allied with Fuyu and Su Shen, would also rebel.
Therefore, Han Xin and they can't be defeated, and if they lose, they will be all finished.
Things are indeed as Xiao He guessed.
The big head of Donghu and the right lieutenant received Xiao He on the surface and assisted him in dividing the county, but in his heart he was waiting.
They were waiting for the outcome of Han Xin's expedition to Fuyu.
…………
At the same time, Han Xin and Su Jiao led a large army and went straight to Fuyu.
The 60,000 Qin army, plus the newly recruited 50,000 Donghu soldiers, totaled 110,000 troops. Judging from the strength alone, their strength is already slightly more than that of Fu Yu and Su Shen combined.
It's just that the only risk is that the newly recruited 50,000 Donghu soldiers will not turn against each other at that time.
If these 50,000 Donghu soldiers turn against each other, plus Fu Yu and Su Shen, this will end up in a situation where they are caught between the front and back or the inside and outside, then Han Xin and them will really be completely finished.
In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, Han Shin can only use interests to ensure their loyalty.
For this reason, Han Xin not only promised that in this campaign, those who have made war merits will get more additional grassland when the grassland is allocated, but also their next annual salary standard will also be determined according to the size of this military merit.
In other words, if there is no military merit in this campaign against Fuyu, they can only receive the lowest level of annual salary in the future, and those who have obtained military merit will receive a higher standard annual salary in the future. It can be said that this battle can determine one's future position and treatment conditions in the army.
The Qin army's annual salary system was naturally known to the Donghu people, so the conditions promised by Han Xin did greatly boost the morale of the Donghu soldiers. After all, Donghu has already surrendered to Daqin, even if he resists and recovers the country, for ordinary Donghu soldiers, he can't change his fate and class, and the conditions are even inferior to the Qin army, so under the balance of personal interests, they have no idea of turning against each other.
At the same time, the 20,000 sets of stirrups and saddles that Xiao He sent to urgently transport also caught up with Han Xin's army.
This made the cavalry equipped with stirrups and saddles directly reach 40,000 among the 60,000 Qin troops.
The combat effectiveness of 40,000 cavalrymen equipped with stirrups and saddles can completely call 80,000 ordinary cavalry and be invincible.
With these 20,000 stirrups and saddles, Han Xin's army has even higher morale, and from top to bottom, the soldiers are full of confidence in this battle!
