Chapter Seventy-Six: Time flies, and autumn is coming.
"Yui!"
Zhao Si bowed down and withdrew from the palace.
It was Xiahou Ying who was on duty at night and was already changing shifts, and when he left, he said hello to Zhao Si.
There are more and more twists and turns in impeaching himself, and Zhao Si's reputation as a gentleman seems to be stained, but it doesn't seem to be of any use.
There is a little advantage to the power of the monarch, as long as the monarch can unswervingly choose to believe, then the so-called political struggle is almost like a joke.
If the emperor is really replaced by Liu Xieyi or the noble townsman Cao Chao, then no matter how much the king trusts it, it will be useless.
No matter how the First Emperor said, he was also the first great unified king, and there was naturally no need to say much about the strong monarchy.
Raising his eyes to look at Yue'er, who had climbed up to the treetops, Zhao Si was shocked to find that summer was coming.
"It's time to speed up!" Zhao Si muttered slightly.
As we all know, autumn is a good time to send troops.
Whether it is for agricultural civilization, fishing and hunting civilization, or for nomadic peoples, this is the season of harvest.
If nothing else, the First Emperor planned to move the second Tomb Order before the autumn harvest to actively force the unstable elements hiding in the country.
Of course, if the First Emperor was not in such a hurry, he could have used the method of boiling the frog in warm water, but it is clear that the First Emperor did not intend to wait that long.
Although war costs people and money, and even damages people's strength, there is no doubt that it is the fastest means and can greatly strengthen the imperial power.
What the First Emperor needed was constant victories to strengthen his voice and strengthen his centralized power, rather than boiling frogs in warm water to get bogged down in the quagmire of strife.
"How difficult it is to mourn the people's livelihood......"
"But after this turmoil, it is the real peace of the four seas."
In the following time, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, autumn is coming.
First of all, the shipping and trade military government has gradually begun to expand, with the production of more and more sea ships in coastal ports such as Penglai, Daqin's transport ships have been enough to use, and now it has begun to mass-produce warships.
The expanded navy was still conscription, mainly recruited from Qidi, supplemented by some middle- and lower-level officers of the old Qin people.
At present, the official number of seamen has been expanded to 30,000, and there are hundreds of warships that can be mobilized.
However, it is only an expansion at this time...... The navy is very different from the army, and the number of warships is indeed there, but the experience of the Great Qin naval battle is limited to the naval battle against Ye Diaoguo, and the combat effectiveness of the navy of the Navigation and Trade Military Government may be slightly insufficient.
The argument for high emotional intelligence is that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
However, no matter how insufficient, the equipment and sea ships are placed there, and to deal with the filthy people in the East China Sea, as long as it is not an away battle, the problem will not be very big.
There are the military government of aviation and trade, plus the county soldiers deployed in the coastal cities themselves, and the overseas and domestic sea form a defensive line with each other, and once the filthy people land on a large scale and launch an attack, it is only a matter of time before they are eaten.
Of course, there is still a problem in front of Zhao Si, dealing with Dongyi, there is no qualified commander.
The Craftsman Bureau is also constantly studying the improvement process of iron and steel smelting, and Zhao Si proposed that coal be smelted instead of charcoal.
In terms of combustion temperature, coal is definitely better than charcoal.
However, there are also many impurities in coal, if you want to use it to smelt steel, you must coke it, Zhao Si only remembers that coal is converted into coke through combustion, but the specific steps really have no impression, so you can only explain it and let the craftsman bureau try it yourself.
The so-called ironmaking and steelmaking, in fact, to put it bluntly, is that the temperature is a little higher, there are fewer unnecessary impurities, and the carbon content can be accurately controlled.
As for alloys, don't think about it at this time, Zhao Si doesn't understand alloys at all.
In short, according to this line of thought, starting with furnaces, bellows, and purification, it is only a matter of time to point out the iron and steel smelting technology tree that can be used for military industry.
In addition, under the appointment of Zhao Si, the Craftsman Bureau sent personnel to guide the mining and collection of nitrate ore and sulfur ore in Shaofu, which were used as gunpowder reserves.
Because the gunpowder production process is not mature, the explosion power has not reached expectations, and the ratio is still in the process of constant adjustment, so the Shaofu will only collect raw materials, and as for the production of gunpowder, it will have to wait until the craftsman bureau has come up with a suitable enough ratio for production.
In addition, the Craftsman Bureau sent some technicians to guide the construction of iron smelting furnaces in the Shaofu, unified the standards of iron smelting, optimized the methods of iron mining, and gradually carried out the production of iron agricultural tools.
During the Qin Dynasty, the government was obliged to ensure local grain production while collecting high taxes, so during the busy agricultural season, ploughing cattle, farming tools, and folk people could borrow from the government.
In a sense, Daqin's attitude of taking care of everything has also accelerated the updating and iteration of private production tools, influencing from the top down, actively seeking change, rather than bottom-up influence.
The advantage of this is that once the policy introduced by Daqin is conducive to the people's livelihood, it can be promoted to the local area as quickly as possible, and the disadvantage is that once the instructions issued by the upper level are wrong, the harm will be greater, and the slightest carelessness will cause disaster to the people of the world.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Huang Lao's learning to govern the world was equivalent to changing with the Qin Dynasty, not interfering in the development of civil affairs, and from the bottom up, which had the advantage of not causing major turmoil. The disadvantage is that the cycle of influencing the upper layer from the bottom is relatively long, and once there is a problem, it will be a big tail, and it is difficult to turn around.
In short, iron farming tools have already begun to be widely produced with the help of Shosaku Shaofu, but because everything has just begun. The pace of production is not too fast, and it is estimated that a few thousand pairs of farm tools will be produced at most by autumn.
If you want to popularize the world in the real sense, I am afraid it will take several years.
Meng Tian in the north has begun to actively take the initiative to deploy, and it is worth mentioning that because of the victory in the war against the Xiongnu, the construction of the Great Wall by Daqin was finally unhindered.
Just this year, Daqin's war fortress system was finally fully implemented.
It can be said that as long as the Central Plains itself does not die, there are no reactionary elements inside to welcome Wang Shi, and there is no possibility of invading the Central Plains.
As for Lingnan, not to mention, Zhao Tuo accepted the instructions of the First Emperor and convened the leaders of the major tribes in the Lingnan area to agree on an armistice.
As for the rebellion within the Central Plains, the First Emperor was also ready for everything.
The Lantian camp near Xianyang had already been prepared and was headed by Wang Ben, and of course, it was the living god of war in Great Qin, Chehou Wang Qian, who really sat behind the scenes to command and dispatch.
There is Meng Tian in the north, Zhao Tuo in the south, and Wang Jian and Wang Ben in the hinterland of the Central Plains, dispatched by the god of war Wang Jian in the middle, with a total of one million troops, which can be described as a flying dragon riding face, Zhao Si doesn't know where Daqin's losing side is.
Perhaps the only danger of a crisis is the East China Sea border.
There was no commander who could give Zhao Si a complete sense of security.
After Jing completed his voyage to Ye Diaoguo, he had already crossed the ocean to the Americas, and now he couldn't come back if he wanted Jing to come back and command the army.
As for Lin Jingyu, a disciple of Zou Feng, he is responsible for production and construction, and military affairs are not his strong point.
And objectively speaking, the number of people in the east may not be much, but the battle situation is more complicated, because the distribution of filthy people is relatively scattered, and there are both sea and land, the geographical conditions are generally harsh, not suitable for the spread of the army, the commander must coordinate the sea and land to go hand in hand, and the proportion is high, Zhao Si has the intention to transfer Han Xin over, but although Han Xin has made contributions in Shangjun, but at present, Han Xin's military merit title is not enough, according to the law of Daqin, it does not meet the rigid requirements of dispatching a large army.
So Zhao Si could only find Wang Jian and ask Wang Jian to help him come up with ideas.
After telling Wang Jian his thoughts seriously, Wang Qian's eyebrows moved and he laughed.
"Everyone else thinks about defeat before they win, but your kid wins before he thinks about defeat."
Zhao Si was never worried about losing the battle in the east......
Truth be told, a fool can figure it out.
After the promulgation of the decree to move the king's tomb, although there were rumors and rumors, but the local people also benefited from the real thing, for the nobles of the six countries, the evil government of Great Qin continued, saying that they were forced to a dead end, but for the people of the world, these years may be the happiest moment of their lives.
The immediate benefits are not deceiving.
There may be loyal and courageous rangers who follow the nobles to raise troops and sacrifice their lives for them, but this group of people is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, if it is not for the fact that they can't survive, there will be a few people who are willing to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers and shout with the nobles.
The nobles of the world are indeed huge, but they only have momentum.
Under the guidance of Zhao Si, the First Emperor, Li Si and even Great Qin determined the basic plate with the Shu people as the main body, and made various measures, the basic plate did not go wrong, how could the nobles of the Six Kingdoms be able to subvert Great Qin?
This upheaval was expected, but victory was also inevitable.
What Great Qin had to do was how to minimize the losses and take this opportunity to completely eliminate the reactionary forces in the country to the greatest extent.
Dongyi is unstable, that is relative to the north there is Meng Tian, the Central Plains Wang Jian Wang Ben father and son, South Vietnam has Zhao Tuo and 600,000 troops.
The instability in Zhao Si's mouth is that he may not suppress the rebellion so quickly, and he will not be able to achieve greater results and completely eliminate the filthy people.
After all, there are the least number of troops here, and there are no famous generals, but the coastal and northeast regions are the top priorities for the future development of Daqin.
If we can't take this opportunity to deal with it, there will be all kinds of troubles in the future when immigrants expand their borders.
"The million-strong army has the advantage over the barbarians and loose nobles, and I have the advantage!" Zhao Si smiled.
Wang Jian laughed when he heard this, but what Zhao Si said was also the truth.
This time there may be a rebellion, the Great Qin has been fully prepared, and Wang Jian also did not think about defeat.
"I think you are idle, the Aviation Trade Military Mansion is in your charge again, Dongyi Ling will personally sit in charge of the dispatch......" Wang Jian touched his beard and teased Zhao Si.
"Whatever General Wang said, I haven't read a few steps in the military book, and I am afraid that the fighter will be delayed if I talk about the soldiers, and even if I want to go...... Your Majesty is not allowed. Zhao Si spread his hands.
It's not impossible for Zhao Si to be able to go and sit in person by himself.
It's nothing more than packing up your own doormen.
Zhao Si himself doesn't know how to fight, but his disciples will be there.
Han Xin, Xia Houying, Fan Xu, Liu Bang, Zhang Cang......
Take out a Han Dynasty Heavenly Regiment to fight Dongyi, it is pure crushing, ploughing the court and sweeping the holes is not a problem, Zhao Si only needs to be a mascot and delegate power.
The problem is that it is impossible for the First Emperor to release people.
Zhao Si is now a real auspicious person in Daqin.
Although it was not exposed, the first emperor knew that Zhao Si was related to the grain production of Daqin.
Under such circumstances, how could the First Emperor let Zhao Si go to the battlefield?
Not jokingly, unless Great Qin is about to die, it is impossible for the First Emperor to send Zhao Si to the frontier.
If Zhao Si disappears one day, the first emperor is afraid that he will not search the mountains and seas to find Zhao Si.
"In the matter of Dongyi, if you want to compete for full merit and want a suitable commander, I have a candidate, but there may be some trouble." Wang Jian saw Zhao Si Xiaoxiong spread his hands and did not continue to joke, but touched his beard, and spoke with a bit of indescribable meaning in his eyes.
"Who is it?" Zhao Si looked at Wang Qian.
"Longxi Hou, Li Xin." Wang Jian let out a soft sigh.
"Longxi Hou?" Zhao Si's face showed a little surprise.
Of course, Zhao Si is no stranger to Li Xin's name, he is also a double marquis, his father Li Yao is Di Daohou, Li Xin is the Marquis of Longxi, and he is the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi. At the same time, Li Xin was also the nephew of Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.
Li Xin's record does not need to be repeated too much, he is the leader of the Shaozhuang faction during the period of the first emperor, when he was at his most beautiful, Meng Tian Wang Ben and others could only be his deputy, and when he competed with Wang Jian to attack the commander of the Chu State, he almost rode on Wang Qian's neck to, and Wang Jian was even forced to go into the wilderness.
He made countless achievements in his life, but he was destroyed by the defeat of the Chu army.
Objectively speaking, Li Xin really failed in such a battle only once, but this time it was a lifetime.
Its people are small and strong, and his combat style is as fast as fire, making good use of cavalry, which is highly similar to Li Mu's combat style, and the cavalry is used superbly, and he is good at sports warfare, annihilation warfare, and long-distance battlefield scheduling can be described as arm-driven.
So here's the problem......
"Longxi Hou makes good use of cavalry......" Zhao Si looked at Wang Qian.
"Making good use of cavalry is not just using cavalry, if you want to plow the court and sweep the holes, everything is complete, Li Xin is the most appropriate." Wang Jian shook his head.
Although he had a bad experience with Li Xin before, and he didn't have a good impression of Li Xin, a stinky and hard hairy boy, there is no doubt that if only in terms of combat ability, there are only a handful of people in the whole world who can surpass Li Xin's military level.
It was an almost overflowing talent for war, as if it were born for war.
"There should be a gap between General Wang and the Marquis of Longxi, right?" Zhao Si glanced at Wang Jian strangely.
Wang Jian squinted his eyes comfortably: "The old man has a lot, and he doesn't avoid revenge!" ”
(Many people say that Li Xin lost to Li Mu, I have checked for a long time, Li Xin participated in two wars against Zhao State, the first time Li Xin paid the cost of tens of thousands of Qin troops to destroy Zhao State 100,000, Li Muyuan was not transferred back in the frontier.)
The second time was to join forces with Wang Jian to destroy Zhao, at this time Li Mu had died of slander, and the uncle and nephew had no direct record of fighting.
As for film and television, it must not be used as information, and the first commander has always been Wang Jian when he attacked Zhao. I prefer that Li Xin can fight with Wang Jian in the ring to fight for the battle of Chu, otherwise what qualifications does he have to become the leader of the Shaozhuang faction, and subdue Wang Ben and Meng Tian to match him with the two second generations of the same period, Wang Ben and Meng Tian's ability is also very high.
The information of the Qin Dynasty period is too vague, and many things can only be speculated, if there is information that can indicate the source, you can leave a message directly, and I will go to verify it and make changes. )
