Chapter 479: The Copy of Yugong Moving Mountains (Second Update)
These days, Zhang Kai is finally a little easier, because he has basically solved the equipment of the Great Qin Water Army, and it will be built under his supervision in about a month, and then sent to Nanhai County and Jiujiang County, war has never been what Zhang Kai wants to see, but he has already understood that it is impossible to have no war in this world, only the difference between active or passive.
Yinggao was summoned in a hurry again, which made him very surprised again, and said in his heart, isn't it that the Huns have opened their mouths again, and want him to build armor for the Huns?
But this time, as soon as Yinggao saw Zhang Kai, he directly said his purpose straight to the point.
"If you want to level a mountain, you might be able to make any equipment that is faster than human labor, and it has to be very easy to transport."
Just such a short sentence made Zhang Kai seem to be stunned for a while, because for him, the amount of information in this sentence is really not small.
"I wonder where your lord wants to transport such a device?" After thinking about it for a while, there was still some chaos in his open head, and he didn't know what Yinggao meant.
"Do you know that I sent Lu Jia to the barren land before, he set out from Xianyang City, and it took nearly half a year to reach that place, although the road is clear now, but the distance is not close, so I require this object to be able to move at the speed of the march, and it must be there within two months. And it is blocked by a number of mountain ranges, according to Lu Jia, he will organize people to dig the thinner part of this mountain range at this time, but I thought that with those thousand people, this matter would be very difficult, and the climate of that barren land was harsh, so I thought of you. ”
After Yinggao's explanation, Zhang Kai finally knew how important the burden on his shoulders was, usually if Yinggao gave Zhang Kai any task, basically Zhang Kai could have an idea immediately, for example, Yinggao handed over the work of designing and manufacturing naval armor to Zhang Kai, he almost knew the direction at that time, and the rest was just perfect.
But this time, Zhang Kai's head was full of question marks for the first time, and he didn't know what to do at all.
"Your Majesty, you give me three days, three days later, I will come here to tell you how this thing should be set up, if Zhang Kai still can't make achievements in this matter after three days, Zhang Kai is willing to leave Xianyang!"
Seeing Zhang Kai's cruel words, Yinggao could only nod slightly, and put him back first, he knew that Zhang Kai at this time also needed inspiration, what he could do was to believe in him for the time being, Yinggao believed that if Zhang Kai could really make something, no matter how bad it was, once it was transported there, it would be better than a thousand people moving mountains together.
After opening up and leaving, Ying Gao looked at the topographic map of Daqin that had just been redrawn a few days ago based on the map sent back by Lu Jia a few days ago. The scale of the map of this era was not as small as that of later generations, so the expanded map had already occupied a large part of the large wall, and even the continuous mountains where Lu Jia was at this time were outlined.
In Yinggao's eyes, this huge map is his chessboard, and now he is playing a ten-big chess game, he can't enter the game himself, he can only put the right people and things in the right place, and then wait for the results that belong to him.
This feeling reminded Ying Gao of the several strategy games he often liked to play when he was in school in later life, but the game failed at that time, and it was a big deal to start over, and now, every decision he makes will be accompanied by the life and death of many people, he can't take it for granted to decide anything, nor can he try repeatedly as in the game, in many cases, there is only one chance, and if you miss it, there will be no more, or you have to pay a heavy price for missing him.
Now this attempt to attack the Peacock Dynasty is an opportunity for Yinggao, if he can win a big victory, Yinggao will seize the opportunity brought to him by this history, let the banner of Daqin be planted in a place where it has never been, and let the descendants of Yan and Huang no longer be in a corner of peace, which he can do in this era for future generations.
But if he hadn't seized this opportunity, not only would hundreds of thousands of troops suffer heavy casualties, but the territory of Great Qin would also be known to other alien races hundreds of years in advance, so that good things would become bad things, and if there were future generations, Yinggao would also become a sinner of history in the mouths of later generations, just like the first emperor of later generations, Emperor Yang of Sui, even though they had their own original intentions and vision, but many of their ideas and practices would not be allowed by their own times.
A series of mountain ranges now had to be solved by relying on the wisdom of Zhang Kai, perhaps the best craftsman in the entire Great Qin, and the people under his command, and Yinggao still had a lot of confidence.
This seems to have nothing to do with him, but Ying Gao thought of it as early as the first time when he forgave Zhang Kai, who followed Zhang Liang to oppose Qin, Zhang Kai is such a talent, and he has laid them out one by one, and then uses them on his chessboard one by one at such a time, and finally achieves his victory in this chess game in this era.
Three days later, almost at the same time, he opened his way to Yinggao's hall, and looking at his somewhat reddened eyes, Yinggao knew that this guy must have not slept much for the past three days, and had been studying this matter.
As soon as he saw Yinggao, his first sentence was not to tell Yinggao how his research was, but to ask directly in a loud voice: "I wonder if I can go to that mountain range to have a look?" ”
Hearing this, Yinggao was stunned, and Zhang Kai was going to the place of the mountain range, Yinggao really didn't expect it, but he still shook his head very happily, and then said to Zhang Kai: "Don't think about this matter anymore, it's a barren land, and you can't make anything there, and if there is another demand there, you go, who can sit in Xianyang City?" ”
Yinggao's refusal, Zhang Kai was still a little unconvinced, but just as he wanted to say something, Yinggao continued to speak: "Look at me, this whole battle was initiated by me, but aren't I still here at this time?" As the head of my Great Qin's skilled craftsmen, you actually have the same role as me in your realm, if you really have an idea, manpower and material resources will naturally be at your disposal, what is the use of you going to that barren land in person except to increase the risk of death? ”
Yinggao's tone at this time was obviously reprimanding Zhang Kai, but after Zhang Kai listened, a warm current emerged in his heart, especially Ying Gao would compare himself to himself, if this was a bystander, it is estimated that he would have knelt on the ground all of a sudden, but Geng Zhi Zhang Kai did not think of such an action for the first time, but stood in place in a daze, carefully figuring out the other meanings of Ying Gao's words.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Kai finally looked up at Yinggao again as if he had decided something, and he was already looking at Yinggao with a very firm gaze.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Kai has thought of a method in the past three days, but if you want to reach what your lord said is easy to transport, there is a certain degree of difficulty, I discussed with the people under my command, and decided to disassemble it after it is done, and then transport it to the mountain range by carriage, I think it can also meet the requirements of the king, but after getting there, Lu Jia and they are afraid that it will be difficult to reassemble this object, Zhang Kai wants to go in person, before listening to the king's words, Zhang Kai did not dare to disobey, this time first step up the manufacture of one or two such objects, Send a few skilled craftsmen to escort, if you find any problems in that place, and then Pegasus returns, Zhang Kai will be transformed in this Xianyang City, although it may delay you for a while, but Zhang Kai guarantees that the speed will be several times faster than that of a thousand people digging at the same time. ”
After Zhang Kai finished speaking, Yinggao couldn't help but nod secretly, saying in his heart that this was like a little talk, but he was very interested in the method that Zhang Kai came up with in the past three days.
"Tell me what it is."
"Do you know the stone thrower?"
"A stone thrower? That object can be not small, even if you can set it up to be disassembled, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to transport, and this stone thrower needs more than 200 people to work together to release it, and there are probably less than 1,000 people near the mountain range at this time. ”
The catapult is a thing that Yinggao has heard of, in fact, it is the template of the catapult of later generations, but in this era, because of the inportability of this object, and the attribute that hundreds of people are required to launch at every turn, it rarely appears in wars, only in some city defense battles, some soldiers will launch catapults in the city, a huge stone is thrown out, even smashed and rolled, and I don't know how many people can be killed at once.
But as Yinggao said, unless this thing can be fully automated, it will be useless in smashing mountains.
"Zhang Kai will naturally carry out a certain transformation of the stone-throwing car, and in less than ten days, two will be built, and then the king will inspect it!"
Although Zhang Kai sold off Guan Zi in this matter, through his confident expression, Yinggao had a sense of expectation.
Of course, Zhang Kai knew that what Yinggao needed most was time, so in fact, when he went to Xianyang Palace to meet Yinggao, the manufacturing of these objects had already begun.
More than ten days later, at the gate of Xianyang City, more than a dozen carriages were escorted out of the city under the escort of a team of people and horses, and it was Zhang Kai who sent them out of the city, watching his achievements leave Xianyang City, Zhang Kai's eyes were full of excitement, he looked at a hill located on the outskirts of Xianyang City, a few days ago, it was there that he let Yinggao see his own results, and the facts did prove that this achievement did not disappoint him.
According to Yinggao, although it is very likely that the mountain range in the barren land is much harder than the hill on the outskirts of Xianyang City, it is certain that this is definitely much better than Lu Jia taking a thousand people to move the mountain.
When the equipment for opening the mountain was on the way, Han Xin took 20,000 people to train at the first contact point for a while, and set off to the second contact point, and when they left, the first contact point was already full of baggage and other things.
According to Han Xin's Yinggao oracle when he passed through Bashu, the two counties of Bashu each produced 200 families and moved to the first contact point, of course, the same as the immigration policy issued before, but for the people of Bashu, although this barren land does not know what it is, it is not very far from their hometown Bashu, so why not?
At this time, there were no more than a thousand people who followed Lu Jia to sit at the bottom of the mountain range to move the mountain, because after getting Yinggao's order, Lu Jia took out two hundred Hun cavalry, one hundred Great Qin cavalry and dozens of craftsmen to open up the road in the direction of the Xiongnu.
Lu Jia also knew that even if there was no other way, in the end, he could only rely on this foolish man to move mountains to solve the problem, and 100,000 people working together would definitely be faster than 1,000 people working together, right? So the top priority is to quickly open up the road between this place and the Xiongnu, anyway, most of the territory over there will definitely be Xiongnu at that time, let them come over early, of course, it is better than anything.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and what Yinggao doesn't know is that Sheli, the ruler of the Peacock Dynasty, who has already become his target, is very similar to Yinggao at this time, but the central idea is different.
After listening to Xu Fu's description of the Great Qin woman, the yearning for this mysterious dynasty in his heart was out of control, and he wanted to completely surrender this dynasty to his feet through killing and conquest.
The reason is that he only heard Xu Fu say that the cavalry of Daqin rode horses, not elephants, which gave rise to elephants, which gave rise to the land of Daqin, once the elephants were in the land of Daqin, and the army of Daqin might be directly frightened, and a hundred elephants would run away in the territory of Daqin.
Therefore, the great general told the relics that the Mauryan Empire did not have such a large warship, and even the existing warships had basically not moved for decades, and whether they could carry out this mission was two different things, let alone pulling elephants.
After the relics almost cut off the head of the general under his command because of this incident, this matter finally came to an end, but Xu Fu was hurriedly summoned into the palace by him.
