Chapter 575

Time passed day by day, and the weather was getting warmer day by day.

The snow in the northern region is also beginning to melt slowly, and the Qin army is about to start to act.

During this whole winter, Meng Tian did not do nothing, but made a new battle plan.

Since Wang Li had already led the army to join Meng Yi, the Qin army had reached nearly 500,000 troops.

According to the current plan, Wang Ben led an army of 300,000 from Yandi to the northeast plain, and swept away the Donghu forces in the northeast plain as quickly as possible.

Meng Tian led the rest of the army to enter from the grassland, clear the Donghu tribes, and ensure the safety of the grassland.

"General Wang, let Wang Li, Bai Yi and Han Xin follow the general, and Cao Yu and Yang Runhe will follow me all the way, how about it?" Meng Tian looked at Wang Ben and said.

Wang Ben nodded and said, "Then arrange it like this." ”

Three days later, the army was assembled, and the army led by Wang Ben returned to the Great Wall, and then followed the Great Wall and went straight to the Northeast Plain.

However, in Donghu's eyes, the 300,000 troops of the Qin army went south, and it was obvious that the Qin army was about to withdraw.

When the Donghu departments got the news, they were immediately overjoyed.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Qin were like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Donghu tribes, causing the Donghu tribes to cower in fear in the mountains and forests and the northeast plain.

In this winter, the Donghu tribes don't know how many people have froze to death and starved to death, and the Donghu tribes have suffered heavy losses in one winter.

Although the Qin army has not retreated, it has withdrawn 300,000 troops, which is also a relief to the Donghu tribes.

When Wang Li returned from the Tianshan Mountains with his troops to join Meng Tian before, he scared the Donghu tribe enough that he thought that the Qin army was going to attack.

After the 300,000 Qin troops withdrew from the grassland, the leaders of the various tribes of Donghu gathered together to discuss how to survive next.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the 300,000 Qin army has withdrawn, but in front of us, there are still nearly 200,000 Qin troops, I think you all know that although the Qin army is only 200,000, its combat power is still terrifying." One of the leaders was the first to speak.

Another leader stood up and said, "This winter, hundreds of my tribe have frozen to death and starved to death. ”

"My tribe has frozen to death in the hundreds."

"Mine too!"

······

"Everyone has heard that many people in every tribe have frozen to death and starved to death, why? Because we have lost the grassland, we have also lost the area to the south to escape the cold. If this continues, without the Qin people's hands, we will die here! ”

"Do you mean that we have to fight the Qin people again? But can we win? ”

"Even if we defeat the nearly 200,000 Qin army outside, and the 300,000 Qin army that the Qin army withdrew comes back again, we can't resist it!"

"Are we going to continue to hide here? Are you sure your tribe will survive the next winter? ”

At this time, one of the oldest leaders said: "At present, the combined strength of our tribes has 200,000 troops. ”

"No, there are only 1780,000 at most." One of the leaders said with a sigh.

"We don't have to fight, but we have to send troops."

"If you don't fight, you still send troops? Why? ”

"Because we have to fight for the opportunity to negotiate with the Qin people! We can't fight and fight, and the turtle will freeze to death here, and our only choice is to negotiate! ”

"But will the Qin people talk to us?"

"If they don't talk about it, the grasslands under their control will never be peaceful!"

After thinking about it for a long time, the leaders all agreed to this plan and negotiated with the Qin people to fight for a place where they could survive, after all, the winter in the northeast was too cold.

"Well, since this has been decided, let's go back and gather the army. Fifteen days later, we went out of the mountain to confront and negotiate with the Qin army! ”

"Good!"

At this time, the Donghu people were still fantasizing that the Qin people would let them go, and even negotiate with them, and they had no defense against the impending danger at all.

······

Luoyang.

Qin Xi and Mo Ling were busy with the generator all day.

So far, with the efforts of Qin Xi and Mo Ling, the electricity has been sent, and even a mouse has been electrocuted.

But it's a pity that the power is seriously lost in the transmission process, and it is the copper wire used by Qin Xi in time, but it is still the case.

"No, this power loss is too serious to be fully utilized, and this problem must be solved." Qin Xi frowned and said.

Qin Xi picked up the copper wire, frowned and said, "It seems that there are still too many impurities in this copper, and these impurities must be removed." ”

"I can't shake this hand, I'm so tired." Mo Ling said.

"The problem of hand crank is actually easy to solve, but the difficult solution is this copper wire." Qin Xi sighed.

Mo Ling took the copper wire in Qin Xi's hand and said, "Leave this to me, you can solve this hand-cranked problem." ”

Qin Xi nodded and said, "It's okay, but this copper wire is not easy to get, not only to remove impurities, but also to make the copper wire as thick as a hair." ”

"Your Highness, your requirements are too strict." Mo Ling smiled bitterly.

Qin Xi sighed and said, "Actually, copper wire is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is copper. ”

"Copper is currently the main material for me to mint money in Daqin, so this copper is the most troublesome." Qin Xi said helplessly.

Mo Ling smiled: "It seems that His Highness is going to argue with the hundred officials again." ”

"It's troublesome, but we have to get the generator out first, and then I can negotiate with the hundred officials."

Mo Ling asked: "Your Highness, if you use copper to make this wire, I'm afraid that Great Qin will not be able to use copper coins, otherwise there will be countless people who steal the wires." ”

Qin Xi nodded and said, "Don't think about this for the time being, let's deal with the things at hand first." ”

"Okay, then I'll deal with the copper wire." Mo Ling said and went out.

Qin Xi looked at the hand rocker, in fact, the hand rocker is the best solution, for the time being, it can be rotated by a steam engine, and when the technology is mature, it can develop and try a water turbine to generate electricity with water power.

But at the moment everything is still too far away, and now even the wires can't be handled.

In fact, Qin Xi knew that there were many research findings about this electricity, but what Great Qin needed most now was pure electricity, so Qin Xi did not study it in other aspects, after all, Qin Xi was not a physics student.

Today, it is rare that Mo Ling has taken over the most difficult things, and Qin Xi also has time to rest.

said it was a break time, but Qin Xi still had to go around the construction site.

Now on the Luoyang construction site, in addition to the imperial palace, a large number of houses have begun to be built, and several major roads in the city are now visible at a glance.

"Your Highness, how is that generator?" Meng Yi ran over and asked.

"There are still a lot of problems to be solved, but it should be soon, how? Want to try being electrocuted again? But this time the electricity is very strong. Qin Xi said with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it." Meng Yi waved his hand and said, the feeling of being electrocuted last time was not very good.
