Chapter 161: Interests
So this kind of thing is cotton completely.
It can successfully solve the current problem of keeping the Great Qin army cold.
For the current Great Qin, this is definitely an excellent method.
However, the reason why Ying Changsheng proposed such a thing as cotton.
That's because he has used cotton, knows it well, is familiar with the effects of cotton.
I know that cotton can be used successfully to protect against the cold.
Saving people from the pain of the cold, however.
Ying Changsheng knew about this, but he didn't represent anyone else.
I also know about it.
is like Han Xin on the side, and Xiang Yu.
The two of them looked at Ying Changsheng with a confused expression.
Then he asked curiously.
"Nineteen Princes, what exactly are the cotton you are talking about?"
"Cotton!"
Ying Changsheng frowned slightly, he really couldn't explain what kind of thing cotton was.
After all, this thing is really not easy to describe, he hesitated, and looked up at the sky.
At this time, Daqin did not have any industrial pollution.
Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear water, that is needless to say.
So in this case, the sky is clear, and you can see the blue sky and the white white clouds in the sky.
This scene is in stark contrast to the bloody scene that had just taken place on the ground.
Han Xin and Wang Jian who went directly to Win Changsheng said.
"This cotton is as white as snow, they are like white filaments entangled together, big clumps, it looks like white clouds in the sky, and this kind of thing has an extremely good warmth effect, use it to fill, and then wear the clothes on the body, enough to resist the cold outside!"
"I see!"
Han Xin, who was on the side, heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He exclaimed.
"If there really is such a thing, then you should quickly equip the army, and then use this thing to make a sound, and then put it on everyone and then go to Mobei!"
"Don't worry!"
Ying Changsheng smiled and looked at the people in front of him, he explained.
"Cotton is good, but the problem is that it grows out of the ground like crops, and we need time to plant it, and then harvest it before we can make clothes to wear on our bodies!"
"How long will it take?"
Xiang Yu next to him was a little impatient.
He asked cautiously.
I want to know from the mouth of Win Changsheng, the cycle of cotton growth knows when cotton can grow.
When can I make it into warm clothes, then.
By them wearing this heavy cotton coat.
To deal with the nomads of the north, living in the bitter cold.
At this time, I only heard Ying Changsheng's explanation with a smile.
"It doesn't take much time to say it, go back to sow the seeds of cotton in the spring, and then wait until next year, in the summer, the cotton will probably be ripe, and after the receipt, it will be enough to make tens of thousands of cotton clothes!"
"I see!"
Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So you can use troops against the Huns next year?"
"Of course!"
Ying Changsheng nodded, and then said with a smile.
"Now, let's talk about how to deal with these surrendered Donghu people!"
"Isn't the Nineteenth Prince trying to keep these captives?"
Han Xin, Xiang Yu, and Wang Jian on the side suddenly frowned.
You must know that there were more than 30,000 prisoners in total.
These people.
But it's all their exploits.
Great Qin calculates military merit based on heads.
It is the military merit title system of Daqin.
It also leads to the fact that military merit is related to the vital interests of soldiers.
And the stakes are extremely significant.
In such a situation, the soldiers are on the battlefield, and they may even be fighting in the same room because of the competition for the enemy's head.
In such a situation, if Ying Changsheng wants to release these captives.
Or to leave these captives alive, for all the soldiers on the field.
That's all that makes them unhappy.
After all, seeing that the credit in hand is about to fall on him, and he can be promoted and make a fortune.
But Win Changsheng stopped them at this critical moment.
but they were not allowed to be promoted to become wealthy, and they were not allowed to be promoted to knighthood.
In such a situation.
These soldiers will definitely not be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help but persuade Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen sons, the old man is now in a high position, and there is no need to be promoted, but the soldiers below are different, they are now counting on this military feat!"
Wang Qian's words made Ying Changsheng frown slightly.
Han Xin on the side, but Xiang Yu hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen Princes, if we really want to release these captives or leave them some way to live, the two of us are willing to support Nineteen Princes!"
Han Xin Xiang Yu's words made Ying Changsheng very satisfied.
However, although the role of generals in Daqin's army is extremely important, if an army only has generals, it can only be a nightmare for this army.
After all, the fighting on the battlefield is always achieved by grassroots soldiers.
It is as difficult to expect a general to complete a victory in a battle alone as it is to ascend to the sky, and the victory in any war is the result of the concerted efforts of the whole people.
It is by no means the work of a single general.
Under such circumstances, how could Win Changsheng ignore the soldiers below?
And.
One of the most important things is:
The key to the Great Qin Empire.
The reason why the Great Qin Empire was able to sweep through the Six Kingdoms and sweep the world finally ended this troubled era and ended the turmoil of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years.
Get to the bottom of it.
It is because of the Great Qin Empire, and then the system established when the Shang Dynasty changed the law.
Military merit title system!
In this system, every soldier of Great Qin fought bravely, because they could get everything they wanted through their titles.
An ordinary soldier can grow into a great general.
Let them see the hope of rising, let them see their own way out, let them see the possibility of their own life reversal.
Precisely because of this.
Great Qin's army was able to conquer everything and be invincible, because they had faith and what they wanted.
You can turn your life around through your own struggles.
This was true in the Six Nations, where most of the other nationals were slaves.
but it is hard to see.
After all, the nobles of the six countries have already controlled the government and all power.
Their soldiers were improvised conscripts.
How can you beat Daqin in such a situation?
But now, if Win Changsheng is unwilling to kill these captives.
He has become a person who destroys the system of military merit and titles!
Because Great Qin's military exploits have always been calculated by heads.
A head, a head.
It represents a person's military exploits.
In such a situation.
It seems that the only way to do this is to cut off the enemy's head.
can realize their military exploits.
This is also the fundamental reason why Daqin has been killing prisoners seriously.
After all, any general.
If you want to win the support of the soldiers, there is only one choice......
