"Let's light the fire." Shang Wen reluctantly ordered.

Several Qin soldiers reluctantly speculated their torches in a pit of corpses doused with diesel fuel. These corpses were all Qin Jun's death due to illness.

"There's no way around it." Shang Wen said to himself.

"I understand." Meng Tian patted Shang Wen's shoulder with his big thick hand and said.

Everyone watched silently as the fire burned the corpses of the Qin soldiers. Under the frozen ground, it is simply impossible to bury these bodies deep down. If it is not dealt with in time, God knows what other diseases will appear.

Fight in cold winter conditions. Survival is far more important than war. Non-combat attrition begins first of all with those who are healthy. These people are the backbone of combat effectiveness. They collapsed. And the army collapsed.

The vigorous construction of modern military facilities began in the northern camp of the Qin army. Sick soldiers began to be treated and managed centrally. The soldiers' camp meals began to become clean and tidy. There are drainage ditches on the ground, and the pavement is hardened and paved with stones. After draining the stagnant water, the whole camp began to be clean and tidy.

Camps in the north began to expand on a large scale. In the distance. The Qin army laid out extremely dense barbed wire. Furthermore, we began to arrange it in depth on a large scale. Construction of a number of bunkers and bunkers also began. These were the fire support points of the entire defense line of the Qin army. One or two artillery pieces became the grand finale of the entire defensive line.

In addition, Shang Wen and Meng Tian personally demonstrated the snow bath. Teach all Qin troops to improve immunity. In order to resist the severe cold and adapt to the severe cold environment.

It is impossible for the soldiers of the Qin army to take a snow bath every day. To this end, Shangwen also built a large number of officers' bathrooms and soldiers' bathrooms. This was the first time that the Qin army was on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin army suddenly changed the sloppy image of the previous wars. And that's not all. Shang Wen also specially set aside some soldiers to build a laundry room and drying room. The soldiers can wear clean and neat clothes to fight. Moreover, these were paid, and the soldiers of the north received their first pay. Although it was issued in the form of bonds. But it was enough to make those soldiers happy for a long time. The most ordinary soldiers were given fifty and a half taels a month. For them, this is simply a huge fortune. The morale of the soldiers, who had been lost by the severe cold, rose all at once. And those laundry rooms. Shangwen needs to recruit some specialized women to do these things. After all, let the soldiers do it themselves, what they consider humiliating. For those women, some subsidies can also be earned.

It was a good stay. It's well dressed. Also eat well. Before Shang Wen came, many soldiers mostly ate cold food, because the war situation was very urgent. Even when there was time, the cold weather made it difficult for the soldiers to move. So. The probability of gastrointestinal diseases is very high.

Hot rice. Soldiers must be served hot meals. And the rest system for the soldiers should also be raised. Shang Wen began to implement a large-scale shift system in the army. Soldiers standing guard do not have to stand guard outside for two hours or more, but instead for an hour. Most of those standing guard, except for the necessary open air, are in the bunker, equipped with a large number of binoculars as observation posts. Those soldiers in the open air were also given special measures to keep warm. Warm clothing made of wool felt. Already special fur hats. There are also padded wool gloves. The soldiers' protection against the cold is taken to the extreme. Cold water has been strictly forbidden, and all soldiers must be supplied with hot water. Many of the guards began to distribute special small charcoal stoves. One is heating, and the other is boiling water. People who stand guard can replenish a large amount of water in time.

At the same time, special canteens began to be established. Plenty of hot food is served centrally. The soldiers of the Qin army were full of praise for this. Clean and tidy dining environment. made the Qin soldiers think that this was at home. It's not so neat at home. At the same time, for the soldiers to eat well. Shangwen also set up a special self-pay menu. As a result, the soldiers' food was suddenly improved a lot. Many Qin soldiers were willing to pay for it. Because they want to fight, they fight with their lives. Who knows where the next hour will be?

In addition to these. An important system has also been introduced. Postal system. The war lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 gold. The more intense the war, the more the soldiers miss their hometown. Shang Wen knew very well the meaning of a letter to a soldier.

In this regard, Shangwen has established a special postal system. For the first time, all the counties of the Qin State were numbered. Then set up a special information office to centralize the handling of letters. Most of the soldiers could not write. Shangwen asked those who could write to write on their behalf. Then put it in an envelope. Pay according to the region. Then these specialized personnel marked different numbers and transported them to Xianyang, where they were distributed in a centralized manner. This business was only for the territory of Qin, and could not be carried out for some soldiers from the Six Kingdoms. As a result, those soldiers increasingly hoped that the Qin State would be unified as soon as possible.

Just when Shangwen was carrying out large-scale construction of military facilities in the north. The envoys sent by the Qin State to the Kwantung countries also began to establish embassies in the local areas. At first, this move was met with protests from the states of Qi, Chu, and Zhao. But it was taken by the national strength of the Qin State. The three countries have only protested, and there have been few substantive measures. They were all afraid that the Qin State would use force against them.

Korea and Wei have already made Qin scared. What Qin Guo asked them to do, they only had to obey. The ambassador of the Yan Kingdom because of the war. The latest to be established. But it's one of the most popular. Because King Yan finally learned the news that his army had surrendered in Julu City. And Zhao Jun organized an army of 100,000 to come to denounce. So, the embassy established on the state of Qin. It was particularly generous and was also allowed to be built next to the royal palace. so that they can be summoned at any time.

The meaning of King Yan is already obvious. That is, I hope that the Qin State will send troops to help, or other assistance can also be provided. For example, weapons, especially muskets and artillery. It was Wang Juan who served as the ambassador of the Qin state. Wang Juan directly said the war between the Qin State and the Yue Clan. Actually, I don't need to say it. The Six Nations already knew. The business information that extends in all directions has already reached the ears of the six countries. This is also the reason why they had no choice but to agree to the establishment of an embassy by the Qin State, and they believed that the Qin State was clearly afraid that the Six Kingdoms would attack the Qin State on a large scale. The Qin State could only send such petty officials to monitor this.

King Yan was a little disappointed. It is impossible for the Qin State to send troops, and it is impossible to provide muskets and firearms to the Yan State if they are to be used on a large scale. Even if it's a high price, they don't want to.
