Chapter 33 Xianyang Military Construction

King Qin and others gained a lot from visiting General Li Xin this time, not only harvesting the most scarce famous generals in Great Qin, but also Ying Jingyu's status rose again

The post of the third prince... This lieutenant was not the lieutenant at that time, and most of the lieutenants at that time were vacant positions, only titles

But the current Taiwei has the power to mobilize the whole country at will without the king's order, and his power is far higher than the previous position of prime minister

After everyone finished discussing, without delay, the king of Qin immediately summoned the accompanying eunuchs and ordered the eunuchs to vacate the place for the original general's mansion and let Li Xin settle in the general's mansion

After returning to the palace, he immediately wrote a summons, and on the second day, in front of hundreds of officials, he announced that he would worship Li Xin as a general, and Gongzi Ying Jingyu was also promoted to the post of lieutenant, leading the national military affairs.

The post of lieutenant commander of the city defense was temporarily held by Zhang Chang, and at the same time he served as the commander of the lieutenant outside the city

Summoned the order, the government and the opposition were shocked! It's all incredible, Li Xin is known to everyone, but as soon as he came out of the mountain, he gave such an important position, is it too fast?

And Ying Jingyu's ability and status have nothing to say, but the other party is only 16 years old, let a weak-crowned child serve as the third prince?

Judging from his merits, there is no problem, but if it is linked to his age, how awkward it is

But after thinking about it carefully, the ministers also understood King Qin's arrangement, at least these two most important military positions, except for these two, there is really no third person who can hold them. This is still at the time of the collapse of the Great Qin State...

Therefore, no one in the court dared to raise objections, although Li Xin was a general, but there was still Gongziyu above, so he was exempted from the post of general

......

The 21st day of the reign of the third emperor of Qin

In the morning, the King of Qin had announced the appointment of Gongziyu and Li Xin in the court, and after a brief discussion with Li Xin, Ying Jingyu and Li Xin were asked to go to the lieutenant's city defense barracks with the general's tiger talisman and purple gold seal to learn about the internal and external forces and deployment of the Qin army

Then Li Xin can transfer troops to train soldiers outside the city according to the situation, and discover and train middle and grassroots generals...

This kind of thing, Li Xin must be more experienced than Ying Jingyu to do it, old fritters

Originally, Jingyu also wanted to go outside the city to familiarize himself with the military camp and train the Qin army, but the special forces experience in his previous life was not false

But now that Li Xin is in charge, there will be more important things to do in Xianyang City

That's right, Xianyang City! This is a treasure land, a weapons factory, a commercial factory, a huge population wealth and a strong consumption power

Xianyang City has become the first capital in the world without dispute! After more than 100 years of expansion of Xianyang City, a large number of people such as merchants and nobles from the Seven Kingdoms and ordinary people flocked to Xianyang City

By the time of the first emperor, Xianyang had a population of one million. Even though some merchants and nobles have fled to Kanto recently, it has not affected the prosperity of Xianyang City

It's as if the ruin of the country has nothing to do with most people, it's just a change of king...

Therefore, Guanzhong is not short of wealth at present, and hundreds of traitorous ministers of its new court have sentenced the wealth of their families, and the treasury has immediately become full from an empty state

If the king of Qin ordered to attack the rich merchants or corrupt officials in Guanzhong... That amount of wealth can be sustained even if it takes two or three years to fight

Ying Jingyu discussed this matter with King Qin, and King Qin disagreed with it when he heard it at first, because it violated Qin's laws in doing so

But Ying Jingyu insisted on his own opinion, if he really had to confront the armies of the six countries of Chuxiang in Hangu Pass for a year or two, he was afraid that the little wealth obtained from the treasury would not be able to be consumed for more than half a year

Moreover, there are plans to recruit new soldiers in the entire pass in the near future, and strive to have more than 100,000 soldiers in Daqin when Xiang Yu arrives at Hangu Pass, or it will be difficult to prevent Chu Xiang's four or five hundred thousand tigers and wolves from breaking through the pass...

It's all money...

In the Guanzhong Plain more than 2,000 years ago, food basically met the needs of millions of people in Guanzhong, and in that era, Shaanxi and Gandhi had abundant rainfall and a warm climate

There is no shortage of food, but the grain produced in Guanzhong can only support an elite division of 250,000 capable of fighting in the Kanto region for a long time, and no matter how many troops there are, there will be a food crisis

Therefore, during the period of King Huiwen of Qin, King Huiwen overrode public opinion and decisively sent the general Sima Cuo to send troops to take the land of Ba and Shu Sanchuan, which were suitable for grain planting, so that the later Qin State continued to rise and expand, and finally overwhelmed the six countries and dominated the world

Therefore, there is no shortage of money, grain, business, and weapons manufacturing in Guanzhong now. What is lacking is a combatable army with enough soldiers...

Ying Jingyu took Li Nian and Zheng Chan to the 'Qin Blade Wufang' in Xianyang Xicheng District early in the morning

If the number of weapons or blades needed in the military camp, the general or the lieutenant can directly report to the prime minister or the king, and the king will order the 'Qin Blade Wufang' to provide the army with how many weapons and equipment according to the deadline

'Qin Blade Wufang' has many small weapons manufacturing divisions inside and outside Xianyang. The division of labor is clear, the organization is strict, and the production flow and casters are very perfect... In the past, Great Qin was able to unify the world in just ten years, and this Wusi Fang, which produced weapons, did indeed make great contributions

However, the six countries have not yet established such a high-tech and efficient weapons manufacturing department

Ying Jingyu was followed by more than a dozen Qin soldiers, who were strolling through the 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop' at this time, and as soon as he walked into this martial arts workshop, the oncoming heat wave seemed to be in the scorching heat, which made people very uncomfortable

The further you go inside, the sound of 'bang bang bang...' is endless...

Ying Jingyu thought while watching, thanks to the many wars in the Qin State in recent years, otherwise Zhao Gao would have been in power for several years, and I am afraid that the most valuable weapon production department of the Qin State would be difficult to keep

Jing Yu took everyone to walk through most of the 'Qin Blade Martial Arts Workshop', and had a general understanding of the weapons, craftsmanship and manufacturing level of the Qin State

Although I was slightly surprised by the level of the pre-Qin period, there are still many things that can be improved

Just as Ying Jingyu and the others walked to a place where bows and crossbows were produced, and were asking to watch, a middle-aged man in a blue robe suddenly led several men down to Ying Jingyu

The blue-robed middle-aged man knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen Luwu greets the son!" ”

"Yes, get up. Lu Wu, who is serving as the supervisor of this martial arts workshop now? ”

Lu Wu said: "Son, according to the order of the king, his subordinates have recently served as the supervisor of Wufang. ”

"Oh? Could it be that Lu Wu is a descendant of Lu Ban? ”

"Yes, son, Lu Ban is the sixth generation ancestor of my Lu family, and the ancestors of the Lu family have inherited the skills of Lu Ban, and have built and improved weapon manufacturing for the imperial court for generations."

Ying Jingyu nodded: "That's the case, I took a look at the weapon manufacturing of the 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop' and was quite satisfied." But I think there is still room for improvement in these many weapons, I wonder if Supervisor Lu can help me? ”

Lu Wu arched his hand and said: "Gongzi is the captain of the court, in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, and Lu Wudang fully cooperates with Gongzi's blade." ”

"Good! Ruwu, take some skilled craftsmen, go to a quiet place together, and prepare some pen, ink and cloth. ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Ying Jingyu and the others were already covered with beads of sweat, this place of martial arts was too hot, and many craftsmen simply took off their shirts and smashed iron blades naked

Everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour, only to see Lu Wu walking towards Jing Yu with seven middle-aged and elderly craftsmen dressed in coarse linen clothes

After some salutation, Lu Wu led everyone to a relatively remote and quiet small armory in the 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop'

This armory is very large, and it is said that it is a small armory, but it is only in comparison to the larger armory

This arsenal is far away from the fire and the place of casting, so after everyone enters the warehouse, they suddenly feel cool, and their spirits are shocked

Ruu was the first to come to a large table full of various crossbow arrows, and ordered the two of them to remove the crossbow arrows from the table together, making room for an open space

Then put the pen, ink, and cloth that Ying Jingyu ordered to bring on the table

Ying Jingyu walked to the table and said, "The Great Qin Iron Cavalry is the most important branch of my Qin army, have you ever thought about how to make the cavalry exert greater power?" ”

Lu Wu arched his hand and said: "Childe, the cavalry is better than the sprint, and the horse has strength, size and endurance. If 10,000 horsemen gallop down, it should reach more than 50,000 infantry. However, the cavalry master borrowed the horse's momentum, and over the centuries, my Great Qin cavalry has developed to its peak, which can be armored for horses and increase defense. Known as 'Heavy Ride'! ”

Jing Yu said: "Not necessarily, then under the battle of ten thousand horses, in addition to being killed by the enemy, how many mistakes or losses did these ten thousand horses have?" ”

The craftsmen were stunned, and a middle-aged craftsman in a gray robe walked out of it and arched his hand: "My subordinates will meet my son next week!" The subordinates are responsible for the construction of cavalry and horses. Childe, if ten thousand cavalry fight, because the knight is extremely unstable on the horse, it is necessary to concentrate on controlling the horse to prevent imbalance, so the cavalry focuses on the threat of charging and killing the enemy infantry, if the horse stops or is surrounded after the charge, the power of the cavalry is greatly weakened, and two infantry can take down one cavalry. ”

"And in the process of rushing and killing, according to the calculations of previous battles, there are more than 800 horsemen who were thrown off their horses before and after the dash due to unbalanced and uncontrollable balance..."
