One day in the early winter of 208 BC, in the southern study of the Qin Empire.

Han Xin, Meng Tian, and important ministers of the court, such as Xiao He, Fan Tianshi, Zhang Liang, and Li Xin, who had just returned from the northern front, were all present, and everyone's face was not good, and Fusu's face sitting on the throne was even more grim!

Suddenly, Fusu patted the handle of the throne and said angrily: "Now that Donghu is dead, the Xiongnu have become even stronger after annexing some of Donghu's subordinates. Half of the strategic advantage of the three kingdoms over the Xiongnu has been dismantled, especially in terms of cavalry strength, which has turned from an advantage to a disadvantage, and the situation is grim! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty!" Meng Tian got up and said: "Due to the lack of strategic mobility in our country, the minister estimates that the next target of the Xiongnu's attack will be the Dayue Clan. Because with the current strength of our cavalry, it is impossible to pose much actual threat to the Xiongnu, so the Huns only need to use a small number of troops to contain our army like this time, and their main force can boldly advance westward to fight a decisive battle with the Dayue clan. Once the Great Moon Clan is defeated, the strength of the Xiongnu will inevitably be further expanded, and from the north and west to form a flanking attack on our country, the strategic advantage is very obvious. Therefore, the minister thinks that if I Daqin should expand the cavalry force as soon as possible, otherwise when the Dayue clan is defeated by the Xiongnu again, the price paid by my Daqin to completely defeat the Xiongnu will probably be to the point of breaking my bones! Your Majesty, please judge it!"

Hearing this, Li Xin also nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! With Mao Dun's shrewdness and the guidance of that Qin traitor, the Huns will definitely see the benefits of taking the Dayue Clan first and then going all out for me, so if we can't build up a considerable cavalry force before the Huns attack the Dayue Clan, the consequences will really be unimaginable!"

Fusu frowned and said, "It's not that Lian doesn't understand this, but it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" My country's horse farm has not been established for a long time, and it will be at least two or three years before the results will be produced, but it will only take two years at most for the Xiongnu to digest the strength of Donghu, and then they will attack the Dayue clan, so my country's horse farm is currently not countable, where do you want to get horses?" Fusu is so worried that he can't sleep well these days!

Han Xin suddenly said, "Father." Erchen has two suggestions to solve the urgent need!" Fusu perked up when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Oh, what is Xin'er's good plan?"

Han Xin said with a smile: "Could it be that my father forgot that his sons and ministers received the hundreds of thousands of Donghu tribesmen who entered the customs in Yandi!?" Erchen carefully checked and found that the total number of these Donghu people was about 150,000, with about 160,000 horses and 600,000 cattle and sheep. That is to say, as long as the court officially accepts them as the people of our Qin State, treats them well, and gives them a piece of land to survive, then they will definitely help our Qin State attack the Xiongnu because of their bitter hatred for the Huns! So. From them, our Qin State can get 30,000 elite cavalry and 100,000 excellent war horses, and within two years, we can build 100,000 elite cavalry for this master! It must be able to solve the urgent need of my father!

In addition, some funds and goods can be quickly raised to introduce tens of thousands of war horses from the Yueshi people, so that another cavalry of about 50,000 people can be formed within two years. Coupled with the existing more than 100,000 people in our country, my Great Qin can have a cavalry force of 250,000 people in two years, although it is not enough to surpass the Xiongnu in an all-round way, but the 200,000 cavalry of the United Dayue Clan also has the power to fight with the Xiongnu! Once you get through this. After my seven major horse farms start to produce a large number of war horses, I don't have to worry about it anymore!"

Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Xin'er is really the lucky general of Lian, and Lian almost forgot those Donghu people!" Very good. Xin'er, you are proficient in horse, foot, and water warfare. Then Lian will let you sit in Yandi and build a strong army with 30,000 Donghu soldiers and 100,000 good horses!"

"Yes, Father!" Han Xin bowed down to receive the order, and said, "But." May I ask how my father will completely settle those Donghu people?"

Fusu thought for a while and said, "In this way, you tell them with the will of the Alliance: Although they are already people who have died in the country, my Great Qin will not discriminate against them, as long as they are willing to submit to my Great Qin." As for Daqin, they will be given national treatment, and they will enjoy the same rights and obligations as all the people of Daqin. There are many pastures in Beiping County and Yuyang County, and the land is fertile, so they can be placed there, what is missing, the government will make up for it, and the court will pull out some more money and hand it over to you! Also, you tell them that I, Great Qin, respect their religious beliefs and living habits, and will never force them to change, but they must also abide by my Great Qin's laws, and if they violate them, they will also be punished! Furthermore, Xin'er, you tell the officials of Yandi to respect these Hu Mindi customs, and there is no need to be overly concerned about the occasional minor precepts, but the big sins cannot be forgiven!" Yes, Father!" Han Xin nodded!

Xiao He suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these Donghu people should be dispersed, and they should not be cohabited by the same clan, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble!" Moreover, what kind of laws these Hu people adapt to also need to be formulated as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later it will cause friction with our Qin people, and in case of chaos on the frontier, it will be regretted!"

Fusu thought about it for a while, thought for a while, and said: "These Donghu people are new and undecided, if they are scattered, it will inevitably cause unnecessary resistance, so this proposal will be put on hold for the time being, and it will be discussed later, and at this time, it is still necessary to appease!" As for the law, Li Qing, your pawn office has been responsible for the management of ethnic minority areas in the country before, and you should have some legislative experience, so you will work with Xiao Xiang and Fan Xiang to formulate a set of special laws applicable to Donghu as soon as possible. This overall framework should not be changed too much, but it is necessary to make some adjustments according to the characteristics of the Hu people, and try to achieve the standard of 'law, reason, and human feelings' as much as possible, and respect their current living habits as the main goal. Got it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Shiqi nodded.

Fusu looked at Zhang Ji again and said, "Zhang Qing, it seems that I have to ask you to make the Dayue clan again!" You prepare quickly, and when the snow melts after the spring begins, you will immediately go out of Longxi again, send an envoy to the Dayue clan, and try to exchange some good horses for Lianduo as much as possible!"

Zhang Ji hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, for the country and the people, Zhang Ji will not give up!"

"Very good, sit down! Li Xin, after Zhang Ji exchanged for a good horse from the Dayue Clan, he handed it over to you to train a large number of cavalry in Xianyang, and your ability to join the rest assured, but hurry up, because the Huns will not give the union a lot of time!" Fusu said to Li Xin again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the United will definitely train Your Majesty as soon as possible to train another elite cavalry that is enough to fight!" Li Xin also looked confident.

Fusu thought about it again to see if there was anything missing, and suddenly said again: "Also, ovary, you have to quickly let the soldiers of Daqin go all out to increase the production of steel weapons." With the strictest system to ensure the quality of weapons! Also, Fan Xiang, 'Qin Feng' should infiltrate more into the Xiongnu, buy more greedy people in the Xiongnu clan with heavy money to obtain their important information, and the assassination of Zhao Sheng, the Qin traitor bastard, must also be carried out as soon as possible! Got it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang and Fan Tianshi received the order.

"Okay, that's the end of today's discussion, all the secretaries will go back and do their own things! We must remember the phrase 'time does not wait for me' for the United Nations, and let Daqin complete the all-round combat readiness work as soon as possible!" Be. Your Majesty, keep in mind!" Zhu Wenwu responded, and retreated in turn, everyone's face was solemn!

In the blink of an eye, winter turned to spring, the people's livelihood situation in Daqin was further improved, and the old people of Donghu in Yandi were also properly resettled, plus Xiao He, Fan Tianshi, and Zhang Liang, the three virtuous ministers, took care of military and political affairs on their behalf, and Fusu, the emperor, was very easy, and some things in the daily life were handled in only half a day. The rest of the time, start thinking about some strong military strategies!

Suddenly, one day, Fusu had a plan in mind, so he ordered Zhang Liang, Moban, and Yingbu to enter the palace to see the driver!

The three were called. Entering the south study, Lu Pheasant temporarily resigned due to the hospitality work in the south study that was approaching labor. Succeeded by the fire phoenix. Huofeng followed Fusu for a long time, and he felt Fusu's temper very clearly, and after serving tea to Zhang Liang and the others, he obediently retreated!

Fusu's face was very excited: "Zhuqing, Lian thought of a very good tactic yesterday. It is possible to effectively deal with cavalry with infantry, and it is more flexible and lighter than the current tedious combined army formation, and it is easier to cooperate with our cavalry, so that our army can use a certain amount of infantry to relieve the pressure caused by less cavalry!"

Zhang Liangqi said: "Oh. There is such thaumaturgy, please let Your Majesty try it!"

Fusu took a painting scroll from his hand and said with a smile: "Come, you will put a few tables together and talk about it for you!" Zhang Liang and the three of them got up and put several tables in the south study together, and Fusu put the painting scroll on it and slowly spread it out.

At first glance, Zhang Liang and the three of them saw four pictures of the deployment of troops, which were very vivid, reflecting Fusu's versatile skills.

Fusu said with a smile: "The joint painting skills are mediocre, don't laugh at them, but you should be able to understand it!" The idea of the Union was to create a new type of light infantry, and their main armament were: the four-pike spike, or thistle, which is mentioned in , and which, however thrown, had a spire facing upwards; The spear, similar to the spear now used by our army, but only one foot and two feet long, was very light; Single crossbow, this is nothing unusual, our crossbowmen have been using it, so I won't say much about it; Repeater, this is a kind of weapon that Lianxin has recently thought of, the crossbow arm of this repeater is very wide, can be loaded with ten stainless steel crossbows, a crossbow and ten arrows, but it is estimated that the range will not be far, probably only between 100 steps and 150 steps; Wugang car, is the previous in the battle of the abandoned city of the Wei army used to combat the chariot, this kind of chariot is usually used to transport grain and grass and baggage, but in wartime can be used to surround the chariot formation, the outermost side covered with sharp blades towards the enemy.

After the weapons are finished, the alliance will talk about the combat methods of this new recruit, and look at the first picture:

When our infantry is marching, the enemy cavalry suddenly attacks, then our infantry should immediately surround the Wugang chariot into a circle formation, and face the blade outward; secondly, immediately send light troops to scatter thistles thirty paces outside the chariot formation, extending to about 100 paces; Then several pikemen were placed in the gap between the two Wugang chariots to protect the gap in the circle, and the crossbowmen stood behind the pikemen and shot the enemy cavalry with their crossbows at a distance. This forms a complete defensive array, which is the first picture of the diagram!

The meaning of the second painting is this: When our army is finished, the enemy cavalry will attack. When about 300 paces away, our crossbowmen began to shoot at the enemy cavalry with accurate single crossbows, so that when the enemy cavalry advanced to a hundred paces in front of our car formation, our single crossbowmen could shoot about three rounds, which would effectively consume the considerable strength of the enemy cavalry.

The meaning of the third painting is this: when the enemy cavalry is a hundred paces in front of our chariot formation, the single crossbowmen can still continue to fire, but at this time the crossbowmen begin to fire. Due to the denser enemy cavalry at this time, the damage of ten arrows from the crossbow will be very considerable, and a large number of enemy horses and war horses will be shot down, and once they fall to the ground, they will be injured by the thistle terrestris, and it will be difficult to have the strength to fight again. Even if some lucky ones escaped the single and repeater shots, their horses would not be able to safely rush through the dense array of thistles unscathed! In these hundred steps, my crossbowmen can fire about two rounds, and with such dense killing, they can rush through the thistle terrestris array. There will be very few enemy horsemen coming to the edge of my chariot formation! Although at this distance, the enemy cavalry can also use short bows or light crossbows to shoot at our chariot formation, but the sturdy Wugang chariot can block a considerable part of the arrows, effectively protecting the soldiers of our army behind the chariot formation from damage!

The intent of the fourth picture is this: the few remaining cavalry of the enemy cavalry rushed through the thistle formation, and advanced to the edge of our chariot formation, but was blocked by the sharp blade of our Wugang chariot, and it was difficult to break through to the chariot formation for a while. Our single and crossbowmen can take the opportunity to continue firing and killing the enemy behind the chariot formation, while the pikemen will use their spears to kill the enemy formation that wants to break through here between the gaps in the Wugang car. After further depleting the enemy's last living force, our pikemen rushed out of the Wugang chariot formation and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy cavalry, and finally annihilated it!

This new formation will be called the 'Wugang Car Formation'. What do you think of this idea of the Alliance?" After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at the three of them with a smile.

Zhang Liang suddenly slapped the table and laughed: "Wonderful, Your Majesty is really a genius!" If we really train our troops according to this formation, I think a new infantry of 1,000 people can be invincible in the face of at least 2,000 enemy cavalry!"

Yingbu also said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty, this new infantry is far more flexible and faster than the combined army formation, and it should be able to keep up with the cavalry in ordinary battles, which can effectively make up for the shortcomings of our cavalry!" Moreover, these Wugang cars can be dragged by some horses, and the vehicles will be arrayed to the outside world in wartime. Untie the horses to create an effective cavalry force that can be used in the final kills of the enemy. It can greatly enhance the rapid counterattack power of the car formation and is conducive to the total annihilation of the enemy's cavalry!"

Fusu smiled, "Oh, that's right. I forgot about it! In this way, this new-style infantry not only has the power of foot combat, but also has a certain amount of cavalry combat power, and even more has the power of transporting food, and can be self-sufficient to a certain extent, and its combat power can be described as quite strong!"

Zhang Liang and the three of them nodded again and again. Laugh. Fusu looked at Mo Ban again: "However, the thistles, crossbows, spears, and Wugang cars involved in this all need to be developed by Momen, without Mo Qing's help, this new infantry of the United Nations is just talking on paper!"

Moban had been pondering just now. Hearing this, he replied: "Your Majesty, this thistle, spear, and martial arts car are not difficult to make, and the minister can formulate a perfect production process and produce a finished product within a month, but this ten-round repeating crossbow is a bit difficult to do, because my Momen has never developed such a sharp weapon, and it may take some time!"

Fusu said with a smile: "Actually, the diagram has been drawn relatively clearly, and the principle of the general single crossbow is almost the same, but the crossbow arm has been greatly widened, and the crossbow and crossbow arm must be reinforced, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the strong counter-frustration of the ten arrows!" Also, this crossbow string must also be reinforced, otherwise there is no way to shoot these ten arrows out of a hundred paces. Of course, because this repeater has extremely high requirements for the strength and reaction speed of our soldiers, it is more difficult to train a qualified repeater, but the repeater can be described as the essence of this new infantry, so Momen must take out the finished product of the repeater as soon as possible. And the Taiwei Mansion must also train 50,000 qualified new infantry for the Union in a year and a half, so as to catch up with the Xiongnu in the battle against the Dayue Clan! Of course, if there is anything that needs to be improved in practice, you can do it yourself, mainly to suit the actual combat! How, can we do it?"

Zhang Liang, Yingbu, and Moban looked at it, and felt a lot of pressure, but it was not easy to shirk, so they said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best, and he will never dare to slack off!"

"Good!" Fusu was very happy, rolled up the scroll and handed it to Zhang Liangdao: "This scroll will be handed over to you for reference, and I will wait for your good news!" Yes, Your Majesty! Wait for your retirement!" Zhang Liang and the three of them responded, and then retreated with the painting scroll!

Fusu secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This new formation method was born from Zhuge Liang's idea of using troops, and Zhuge Liang used this car formation to deal with the powerful cavalry of Wei State in the past!" Especially because of the existence of crossbows, the Wei army was afraid of Shu like a tiger, and almost never dared to chase the Shu army! And our Daqin infantry has this new formation to help, which can effectively serve as the response force and supplementary force of the cavalry, and can also enable the cavalry to fight with peace of mind without worrying about the logistics of the food route, which can be described as a multi-task! Wonderful!" Fusu was triumphant for a while, as if he saw the wonderful prospect of Qin's new infantry beating the Hun cavalry to the ground!

Suddenly, Huofeng quietly walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to see Sister Lu Pheasant today, she is about to give birth, and she has been a little scared these days, afraid of cold and afraid of the dark!" Poor women give birth to children for the first time, and now Your Majesty is not too busy, why not go and accompany her?"

Fusu smiled when she heard this: "Also, Lian has been busy with some military affairs in the past two days, and he has snubbed her!" Let's go, Sister Feng will come with me!" As he spoke, he took Huo Feng's hand and went to the 'Changmen' Palace where Lu Pheasant lived, with a relaxed face!

At the end of April 207 BC, Lu Pheasant added another son to Fusu, and Fusu gave him the name Yinghui, which he loved very much!

At the same time, the three kingdoms of the Xiongnu, Qin, and Dayue Clan are very calm and rarely attack each other on the surface, but secretly everyone is accumulating strength and preparing to put their opponents to death!

Three months later, an epoch-making powerful weapon - the ten-round repeater was born under the full development of Momen: a crossbow with ten arrows, a range of 150 steps, the power can penetrate the fine armor, and the power is not inferior to the famous Zhuge repeater in history!
