Chapter 132: Bronze Casting Tablet - Loyal Soul!
The civil and military officials understood a little, the king wanted to use the methods used by the Qin State to treat the Ba State and the Shu State on Yiqu, and give a slap to a sweet date, Yiqu, a barbaric and fierce grassland people, may not be assimilated by Daqin in a short time.
And the reason why Yingji wants to assimilate the grassland people of Yiqu is because he takes a fancy to the cavalry combat ability of the grassland people of Yiqu.
The prairie boy is brave and fierce, as long as there is a war horse, a scimitar, and leather armor, he is a cavalry!
Fortunately, the army sent by the Qin State to pacify the northwest grassland this time was the Anxi Army, which was equipped with various advanced ordnance weapons and an open army with an ancient military formation, otherwise the ordinary Qin ** team would really not be able to help the 300,000 troops of Yiqu.
Of course, Yingji will not be busy recruiting troops on the grassland immediately, and now the Qin State has not yet gathered the hearts of these grassland people.
Only by waiting for the assimilation policy of the Qin State to take effect initially, let these Yiqu people know that it is definitely better to follow the Qin State than to follow the previous tribal leaders.
Following the Qin State will definitely have a brilliant future, join the Qin army and become a Qin army soldier, and there will be a rich reward for beheading meritorious service on the battlefield, Yingji will start to recruit troops in the grassland.
It's just that the assimilation policy also has an obvious flaw, that is, it is not effective in the period of three or five years!
However, at this time, it was already in the realm of the Great Perfection of Bone Refining, and Yingji, who had a three-hundred-year lifespan, said that she could afford to wait.
"But the king, Yiqu has always been a nomadic country before, and the land with fertile water and grass is the place where Yiqu was founded. ”
"If I want to set up three counties and twelve counties in the northwest grassland, I will inevitably build three county towns and twelve county seats!"
"The project is huge, and the cost of people's power is serious, which is a heavy burden for my Daqin, and besides, my Daqin can't draw so much people's power now. ”
"Originally, 90,000 Lishan prisoners were acceptable, but now the Lishan prisoners have become an army, and they are under the command of General Zhang Han and General Baili, and then let the remaining Lishan prisoners leave Lishan and send them to the northwest grassland to build a city, please think twice!"
Wang Xiaojie said again at this time, now Wang Xiaojie, who is the supreme governor of the northwest frontier of Great Qin, naturally has to think about it comprehensively, and Great Qin will not be able to mobilize so many people to build a city in the northwest at least before next year.
"Who said that I don't have so much people's power in Daqin?"
Yingji suddenly smiled at this time, and Wang Xiaojie and the civil and military officials felt a little uncertain.
After several years of turmoil, Daqin, which has seriously consumed national strength, is now recuperating, is there any county in Daqin that can draw at least tens of thousands of people?
Shang Yu County, where General Wang Ling was stationed, and Shang County, which was guarded by General Yingji, were important military towns in the south and north of the Qin State, and the army was a big handful, but there were not so many people.
Several counties in the east have to face the countries of the world, and hundreds of thousands of people will be transformed into soldiers at any time, and they cannot be moved lightly.
The land of Bashu is even worse, there are quite a lot of people in the land of Bashu, but no one can stand the harsh weather conditions of the northwest grassland, so it can't be done.
Thinking about it carefully, Daqin really has no extra people's power to use!
"You are so confused, have you forgotten the 60,000 prisoners of war captured by our Qin army when they won a great victory in the northwest?"
Yingji's words woke up the people in the dream, and the civil and military officials all reacted, as if yes, didn't the expeditionary corps still capture 60,000 prisoners of war?
These 60,000 prisoners of war are all former Yiqu troops, who were originally from the grassland, and have long been adapted to the harsh weather conditions of the grassland, and it seems that there is no one more suitable for this city construction task than these 60,000 prisoners of war.
The civil and military officials were speechless in their hearts, even Wei Ran was like this, why didn't they see the labor force in front of them in vain, could it really be that they were too blind?
"General Wang, the entire Northwest Grassland for thousands of miles will be handed over to General Wang and General Guo Xin!"
"No!"
Wang Xiaojie clenched his fists under the hall and said, knowing in his heart the responsibilities of himself, Guo Xin and all the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although there is a specific charter for digesting the results of the Northwest War, there is a more urgent matter in front of us. ”
"The urgency of this matter is related to the fortunes of our Great Qin country, and the widow attaches great importance to it in his heart, so you must also be careful. ”
At this moment, Yingji's smile, which was still smiling just now, suddenly retracted, and her expression became serious and solemn, and the hearts of all the civil and military officials jumped together, what can make the king attach so much importance to it, and it can even be related to the fortunes of the Great Qin State.
"Dare to ask the king, what is the matter?"
Wei Ran said, the eyes of the hundred officials looked at Yingji in unison, but they saw Yingji slowly closing her eyes, and said in a sad tone: "Without him, this matter is the peaceful residence of the loyal souls of nearly 10,000 soldiers of my Qin army!"
Hearing the king say that the Qin army had nearly 10,000 soldiers who had died in battle, all the civil and military officials were shocked in their hearts!
Now everyone knows that the king attaches great importance to the lives of soldiers, and cherishes the lives of any soldiers, even if they are wounded or disabled in the army, they are not willing to give up a single person.
even set up a special instructor battalion, a direct subordinate force of the king, to house the disabled soldiers in the army, although there is a purpose for these disabled soldiers to continue to train tiger divisions for Daqin, but this shows the style of the king's ancient saint king!
Every soldier and soldier makes the king attach so much importance to it, and this is nearly 10,000 loyal souls, so how should the king deal with it?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow wants to erect a monument for the soldiers of the Qin army who died in my battle, and be worshiped by all the people of my Great Qin!"
"My Great Qin Ruishi worked hard for my Great Qin's Wang Tu hegemony, and finally died on the battlefield, they are great, they should not be forgotten!"
"Therefore, the widow wants to cast the Heroic Soul Monument in bronze!"
"From now on, the names of all the soldiers who died in battle in my Qin army will be engraved on the Heroic Soul Monument, which will be worshiped by the people of my Great Qin, warn me that the people of Great Qin are prepared for danger in peace, and inspire me to work hard in the people of Great Qin, do you think it is okay?"
Yingji still closed her eyes and said, Baiguan's heart was shocked, but he didn't expect the king to have such thoughts in his heart.
It is necessary to erect a monument for the soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle, and it is a monument to the loyal soul and the monument of the loyal and brave fighting soul, which has never been done in all countries in the world or even from ancient times to the present.
But then, the hearts of the civil and military officials were full of emotion, the virtue of the king is comparable to filial piety, and even chased the ancient holy king, how can he be able to follow such a king, and the great luck of life!
And the generals of Great Qin regretted in their hearts, why didn't the king become the king of Great Qin earlier?
Over the past hundred years, the Qin State has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in battle, but only a few of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers can find all the corpses and bring them back to their hometown for burial, and the vast majority of the remaining Qin soldiers are just nameless ghosts even if they die on the battlefield
Where is it like now, after dying on the battlefield, it can still be erected by the king of a country himself, engraved with his name on it, worshiped by the people of Daqin, and will always be remembered by the people.
Why didn't the king be born decades earlier or become the king of Qin a few years earlier, otherwise how could there be so many unknown martyrs among the soldiers of the Qin army!
"The king is ten thousand years old, and the last general will thank the king!"
Dozens of generals of the Qin army knelt down on one knee and hugged their fists and said, no one can understand the friendship between soldiers and soldiers, and Yingji's practice of doing so undoubtedly raised the level of control over the military heart to a higher level.
......
The capital of Great Qin, within Xianyang City, in the Sword Casting Workshop!
The Sword Forge is a secret place of the Qin State, located near the Qin Palace, carrying countless military secrets of the Qin State.
If ordinary people don't get a special official document, once they rashly break into the Sword Casting Workshop, they will definitely be directly killed by the soldiers of the Qin Army guarding the Sword Casting Workshop.
Everyone in the world knows that Qin's sword is sharp, Qin's crossbow arrows are strong, and the arrows of the six countries are not as far as Qin's arrows!
However, only a very few people in the world know that most of these sharp Qin swords and the powerful strong bows and crossbows of the Qin army were made by the Qin State Sword Casting Workshop.
The Qin army's combat power can be so strong, and the weapons developed and forged by the Sword Forge Workshop are definitely indispensable.
The function of the Sword Forge Workshop is equivalent to the Ordnance Research Institute, which is responsible for the development and trial of various weapons and equipment that will be popularized on a large scale among the Qin army.
At this time, in the huge sword casting workshop, Qin Wang Yingji, Qin Xiang Wei Ran, and hundreds of civil and military officials were all watching the creation of the Loyal Soul Monument.
I saw that there were iron chains running across both sides everywhere in the swordsmith's workshop, and dozens of long swords hung on each iron chain.
The surrounding earthen walls were littered with strongbows and crossbows, and in the middle was a large blast furnace-like forge in the middle.
Around it were dozens of smith furnaces, each of which was topped by a shirtless swordsmith hammering the unformed bronze with a hammer.
Every swing of the hammer by the swordsmith will splash countless sparks, leaving countless sweats, sweat is nothing more than that, and the swordsmith apprentice next to the swordsmith is constantly adding firewood to the craftsman's furnace to maintain the temperature of the craftsman's furnace.
Adding fire, heating, and forging made the temperature in the entire sword-casting workshop remain high, and sweat flowed from the foreheads and necks of the civil and military officials.
On the huge forge in the middle of the swordsmith's workshop, a gray-haired blacksmith in his fifties and sixties was tempering a piece of bronze that was now more than ten meters long and fused with countless bronzes, and nearby were four or five apprentices who were responsible for adding firewood to raise the temperature of the furnace.
"Bai Lao, take a rest, Bai Lao is the top forging master of my Great Qin, and it is also the old family of the Bai clan of my old Qin, although the creation of the Loyal Soul Monument is important, but Bai Lao should not hurt his body. “
At the forefront of the civil and military officials, Yingji said directly to the old man who was building a loyal soul monument on top of the forging furnace.
This old man is not simple, in the past years, the Qin State had the Mengxi and Bai clans, and Bai Lao was the patriarch of the Bai clan, and he had a very high prestige among the old Qin people!"
Bai Lao is also the top forging master of the Qin State, since the sword-casting master Ou Yezi built the Iron Sword Longyuan, Bai Lao has studied hard, and has become the second swordsmith in the world to create a fine iron sword, but no one in the world knows and the Qin State's secrecy work is done well!
