"The old gentleman is a little unreasonable, huh?" Fusu said.

Cheng Qu just shook his head and didn't speak.

"The old story of Mozi and the public loss class is known to the whole world, and we don't need to discuss it more. I also heard my father say that the Mo family proposed changes for the Qin State when offering the Gong, among which the "Mozi Beicheng Gate" has many techniques for defending the city, which has become a good prescription for the Qin State to defend the city, and was adopted by the Gong, and later it was deeply liked by the Shang Jun, and has been used to this day, it can be said that the defense technique of Mozi has been unique in the world for two hundred years, and no one can beat it. However, in my opinion, this kind of defense technique is actually nothing more than Erer, and the essence of the defense of "Mozi" is not in "Preparing the City Gate" but in the many skills recorded in "Mozi". Fusu talked eloquently.

"I want to hear about it." Cheng Qu arched his hand.

"Father also told me that the iron smelting technique of the Qin State was provided by the ink master, I don't know if it's true?" Fusu asked.

"The improvement of the art of iron-making is indeed with the participation of the ink master." Cheng Qu frowned, as if he had a premonition that Fusu was going to say something.

"Does the old gentleman think that iron tools are contrary to Mozi's 'non-attack' thinking?" Fusu's eyes narrowed and he asked with a smile.

"Iron tools are stronger and more durable than bronze tools, and the price is cheaper, and the invention and improvement of iron-making techniques by the Moji is to create agricultural tools for farmers and increase food production. Cheng Qu didn't smile for the first time, and his answer to Fusu was a little loud.

"Maybe the idea of the ink master is good, I want to ask again, in addition to being used as a farming tool, iron tools are also used to make weapons, and the armies of the Six Nations are powerless in front of the Qin army equipped with iron weapons, does the old gentleman know that iron tools are called 'evil gold' in the Six Kingdoms? Does the old gentleman know that the Six Nations even issued a decree prohibiting the circulation of iron tools? Fusu still asked with a smile.

Cheng Qu frowned tightly and did not speak.

"Father also said that the track of the Qin State was also designed by the ink man, I think it is true, except for the ink man, I can't think of anyone else who can invent such an advanced thing as the derail road, it is very likely that you are referring to the railway mentioned in "Heavenly Work", right? The rail road is completely used to transport troops, grain and grass in the Qin State, and ordinary people are not even allowed to approach, and they don't even know the existence of these things, the old gentleman knows, right? Fusu didn't mean to explain, and continued to ask.

"Rail ...... It was built in response to the merger of the six countries and to enable the Qin State to defend in a timely manner...... The rails were only within the borders of the Qin state, but the saddles and stirrups could follow the cavalry to any place. ”

In order to show that there is no conflict between the track and the "non-offensive", Cheng Qu pieced together the language, but his explanation made Fusu a little confused, and he was secretly vigilant, Tang Gu and Cheng Qu's reactions to the saddle and stirrups were a little abnormal.

In Fusu's view, the role of the rail road in the war is far greater than the saddle and stirrups, after all, the Qin State has fought with the dog Rong and other ethnic minorities since the beginning of the country, and the combat power of the cavalry is already very strong, whether there is a saddle and stirrups, the cavalry of the Qin State has an absolute advantage over the six countries, just like Li Mu fought against the Xiongnu all the year round, and the use of cavalry is far beyond ordinary people. Although there is no steam locomotive to pull the track, the spacing design of the sleepers of the Qin State rail road is exactly in line with the distance of the horses' steps, which can allow the horses to run freely on the track, which greatly improves the mobility of the Qin army, especially the infantry that occupies the vast majority of the troops, which is much more important than the cavalry with saddles and stirrups that are already known for their speed.

Although he was vigilant in his heart, Fusu still said what he thought.

"Saddles, stirrups, and iron tools are not born to fight, iron tools are not good or bad, and those who use them use them for what kind of attributes they have, just like a wooden stick, you can use it to make defensive equipment like Mozi, to promote non-offensive ideas, and you can also make siege ladders like public squads; But many more people just burn wood as firewood. Iron tools can be used to make agricultural tools in the hands of farmers, and can also be used to make weapons in the hands of soldiers, but with the popularization of iron tools, iron products may be used more to make kitchen knives and iron pots in the future. Saddles and stirrups can be used to attack the Six Kingdoms with the Qin cavalry, and in the future, they can also allow the Qin State to defend against the attack of the Hun cavalry, but it is more used by the herdsmen for grazing. ”

"Since the old gentleman has the "Tianjian" in his hand, he thinks that he knows that the ethnic minorities in the north have always had the habit of invading the Central Plains Dynasty, and if the Central Plains Dynasty is in civil strife, this kind of invasion will be more offensive and destructive. If the old gentleman has any doubts, he may wish to open the "Tianjian" and think carefully, the civil strife in the Central Plains Dynasty has always been an opportunity for the nomads to be strong, for example, now, the Qin State and the Shandong Six Kingdoms are at war, and the Xiongnu have quietly unified the entire grassland, from the north of the Yan Kingdom in the east to the depths of the desert in the west, all under the control of the Xiongnu; In addition, the civil war between Wei, Shu and Wu led to the withering of the people in the Central Plains, and they were unable to go outward, and they did not slow down until the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, so that the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua occurred; At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor was divided, and then there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Central Plains did not form a unified and powerful dynasty, which led to the later Meng Yuan entering the Central Plains, and the Central Plains people were reduced to a low-class nation, and they couldn't even take their own names. ”

"I think I said that these old gentlemen should understand what I mean, in the face of the possible attack of the northern nomads, we can only be strong ourselves is the king, without strong strength, the strong Great Wall will be breached one day, only a strong army and strong national strength can save the people of the Central Plains from being slaughtered."

"The saddle and stirrup function in the same way as iron tools, and they not only improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but also the strength of the whole country. Iron-based tools can increase production and feed more people; The ancestors of the Qin royal family were famous for raising horses, and the saddle and stirrup allowed more people to easily control horses without hard training, so that the Qin people would not forget the art of raising horses, so that the Central Plains people would not be at a loss in the face of nomadic invasions. Fusu knew that his words were actually flawed, but in order to convince Cheng Qu, he couldn't care so much.

Fusu doesn't know when the Central Plains Dynasty in the old time and space began to use saddles and stirrups, but in his conjecture it should not be later than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry strength of the Han Dynasty has developed by leaps and bounds, and the Huns who once fought had no power to fight back, and the gap between the beginning of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the founding of the country is too obvious, unless there is some artifact to help, in order to have such progress, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Huns can maintain balance with the Han Dynasty, I think the saddle and stirrups have been learned by the Huns.

Any advanced technical knowledge will be disseminated, which is irreversible, just as Huan Qi has concerns about "Thirty-six Strategies". But no matter how advanced the weapon is, it can only play its greatest role when it is used by the right person, and in Fusu's eyes, the Qin army is the right person who uses the saddle and stirrup.
