121 Northern Situation

Shang Wen really didn't have much interest in this stammering brother. I'm not a politician, and I'm not as thoughtful as those politicians. For these problems, let Han Fei think about it himself. Shang Wen found a reason for himself to be busy and kicked Han Fei out of his house. Then, start sketching the drawings. Mainly some machinery and equipment.

Inside the Xianyang Palace. The king of Qin gathered important civil and military ministers who could gather.

"This is a piece of music from General Wang Qian. Take a look. King Qin handed a piece of music to Li Si.

Li Si opened it and took a quick look at it, and handed it to Wei Yu. The same is true for Wei Yi, which was passed on to Feng Quji.

"Lees. What's the thought. King Qin asked.

"The minister thinks that the war between Yan and Zhao is beneficial to our Great Qin, but General Wang Jian mentioned Li Muwei in his recital to guard against our army. And if there is no delay in sending troops to attack the city, such a situation should not last long. Zhao Junxin occupied the twenty-nine cities of Yan State. Write in detail. Zhao Jun brutally treated Yan Min. Yan Min will inevitably retaliate repeatedly. Zhao Jun's food and grass will inevitably be short. King Zhao is also a person who is eager for quick success, so the minister believes that Li Mu will send troops to attack the city sooner or later to break the current situation. Li Si analyzed.

"En," King Qin nodded. Li Si saw King Qin nodding. Then he was gladly happy.

"What do you think?" King Qin then asked.

"The minister believes that the situation in the north is just as the prime minister said. It won't be long before Zhao Jun wants to break the situation. However, the cavalry army of Wang Jian of my Great Qin was in the flank and rear of Li Mubian's army. It was like a sharp sword hanging over Li Mu's head. Li Mu must take measures. The war between Yan and Zhao is very beneficial to our Great Qin. The king should put the two countries in a stalemate. The war dragged on for a long time. Drag down the Zhao State. For my Great Qin to sweep the six countries and reduce one of the most powerful opponents. Wei Yu said.

"Not only do you want Yan and Zhao to fight, but you also have to take this opportunity to involve Qi, Chu, Wei, and Korea. I, Daqin, can sit back and reap the benefits. Wei Yu said.

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." King Qin said approvingly.

"If the widow looks at it, it depends on what the national lieutenant is." King Qin said.

"I don't know the king, but there is a good way to let the six countries bite each other." Feng Qujian asked.

"Yan Guo has already purchased two thousand muskets from my Great Qin. The state of Chu and the state of Qi also purchased artillery. Presumably, it won't be long before you buy it aggressively. King Qin said.

"The king is high. The minister believes that envoys should be sent to buy off the powerful ministers of various countries, add a boost, and accelerate the disintegration of the six countries. Wei Yu said.

"Yes, you can. Just what An Guowei said. King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, it is also said in the chapter that Li Mu is afraid of my Wang Jian army, and I don't know if Wang Qian's army will be mobilized. Gesture. Lees continued.

"This. The prime minister has a good plan. King Qin asked.

"Chen thinks that he can mobilize to ease Li Mu's jealousy of my Qin army. In addition, our army can also take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. Hold the front. Lees said.

"What do you think?" King Qin asked Wei Yu.

"The minister thinks that it can be transferred. It's just a matter of how much it is appropriate. Wang Qian's army had at least 35,000 people, and they were all cavalry. The cost is the largest, plus Meng Tian's 10,000 horses. It is true that a large part of it will be withdrawn. For this part, at least 30,000. "Wei Yi suggested.

"The Meng Tian tribe swept through the Hu tribe. Carrying a large number of bearded people, horses, cattle and sheep, and some leathers and other things. These things are all the things that I spent the winter in Daqin, and they are different from the mainland. It was unusually cold, and the clothes were prepared early. The continued stay of the army outside the fortress is also not conducive to the supply of logistics food and grass. Most of the cavalry corps should be withdrawn. Supplies are nearby. Wei Yu said.

"Yes. This is indeed a problem. Leave these things to the lieutenant. King Qin said.

"Whoa." Wei Yu agreed.

Handan, Zhao State, in the palace of King Zhao. King Zhao couldn't bear Li Mu anymore. So many people have been sent to urge Li Mu to send troops to attack the city. Destroy the Yan Kingdom. The strength of the Zhao State will be greatly increased, so that there will be capital to fight against the Qin State. However, Li Mu was slow to send troops. King Zhao angrily smashed everything he could.

King Zhao pulled out a sword and was still on the ground.

"Let that Li Mu immediately send troops to attack the city. Otherwise, cut yourself. King Zhao slammed his sword into the ground. The sword also made a "buzzing" sound.

"Whoa." A few attendants cautiously agreed.

Guo Kai walked on the way back to Zhao. The soldiers in the back were carrying a cannon. This thing cost Guo Kai 500 gold to buy. When Guo Kai left the Qin Palace, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. If you think that you go back empty-handed like this, you will be blamed. This cannon is going to buy one back anyway. So Guo Kai personally met with the envoys of Chu to discuss. It took Guo Kai a lot of words to say that Chu was moving. But the money spent is too much. It cost 500 gold. I knew I should have bought it first. Guo Kai regretted it.

But fortunately, he can be regarded as having an errand, and Guo Kai happily moved towards Handan.

When Shang Wen finished drawing the drawings, it was already night. When Shangwen re-inquired about the results of the craftsman, he saw a very surprising scene.

The hydraulic press has already started working. Pressed iron plate and reheated. I don't know when another hydraulic press made by the craftsman had a cutting blade installed on it. This blade is a simple, rough one, but with a well-made edge on top of the iron block. In this way, the heated iron plate can be cut calmly. Then, forge again. Create a rectangular piece of iron. Then place it into a circular groove. Circle a cylinder. Start beating repeatedly. Soon, half of the barrel was built, and it was operated again. The barrel is basically formed. Then it's straightening, polishing. and so on.

Such a process also carries the shadow of handiwork. But it's a transition. than the method of pouring. This method squeezes out air bubbles in the barrel. The performance of the barrel has been further improved. Moreover, as long as it is improved a little more, it can basically be made by machine.

Unexpectedly, these craftsmen have their own minds. The day began to make such a big adjustment. Shang Wen really couldn't imagine it. It seems that I have to organize a research and development team. The spirit of cooperation is indispensable on this road. To go far, a large team is indispensable. Alone, although there is technology, there is knowledge. But it is inseparable from a processing team. They solve real problems. How it works. How to process. How to make the finished product.

"Mr. Qin. What do you think. Chen Da said as he watched.

Shang Wen was surprised by the innovative ability of these craftsmen and did not answer Chen Da's words.
