Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang was startled by King Qin's words, then calmed down and watched the Taihang sand table repeatedly.

"Think about it clearly. A 40-strong army is no joke." Yan Jiang calculated that almost one-third of the country's male population would be wiped out in this kind of national war, and the consumption of food and grass was an astronomical figure. All the food has to be taken in, and the wave of receivables in May this year must be added.

He originally wanted to say that he could play as in history, buy Guo Kai and drop Li Mu, and this level will pass, but he immediately felt that this possibility was too low. First, Li Mu now rules the north, the earthquake has not come, Handan is now Looking at Li Mu's face, although Guo Kai is flattering the lord, he will not be a fool, and will not do such an unlikely thing.

However, King Qin pointed at Changping slowly, and said indifferently: "This way, there is a chance of victory. Between Qin and Zhao, it is a war that will destroy the country."

Yan Jiang looked at the map several times before he understood King Qin's meaning.

Does this mean to compete with Zhao Guoru in national strength like Changping?

If this is the case, then Qin Wangzheng is not acting on his own will at all. On the contrary, his thinking is very clear. Think about it, Li Mu uses troops strangely and predicts the enemy like a god. Ordinary generals can't accept his tricks. If it’s not good to go to one, all will be given away, and even a 10 army is very dangerous. Even if you win a few times, you will lose money—you win today and I will win tomorrow. Save grandpa, and if you get it later, the whole army may be wiped out.

And Qin Wangzheng is very compelled in his heart, he sees the situation clearly, the best way to deal with deceitful methods is to suppress the situation with a large army, be upright and upright, don't play tricks, push all the way, no matter how many calculations you have, there is nothing you can do .

It’s just that such a cost is too great. Back then, Zhao Guo used 40 troops to fight for three years in Changping to eat, and Qin State suffered a famine in the second year, but it didn’t slow down for a long time—but Zhao Guo was more serious. That's it.

"Why don't you take Wei Han?" Yan Jiang asked in a low voice, this bone is really too hard, if you chew it off, you may lose your front teeth.

Qin Wangzheng smiled proudly, took a secret report from the memorial book next to him, played with it, and then opened it gently as if enjoying a feast of delicacies, and handed it to A Jiang.

Yan Jiang took it with great curiosity, only to see the simple four characters written on the scroll: "Nanyang Tengjiang."

He raised his head suddenly, and saw King Qin's expression was arrogant, and he remained silent.

"How did the king do it?" Yan Jiang was also a person who had been to Korea, and he was amazed for a while, "Now the only county in Korea is Nanyang. Nanyang prefect Teng has ruled this place for more than ten years. They have all voted for Qin, what method are you using, he will not bend his waist for gold and silver."

Qin Wangzheng relieved his mood slightly, and hummed softly: "When I came back to Qin from Dongjun County, I visited Luoyang and passed through Nanyang. That day, Teng personally accompanied me. You spend all your time in the countryside, so naturally you don't know about it."

Yan Jiang blushed slightly, it was true, he was not sleeping during the day, or he went all over the world to inspect the cultural and scenic spots along the way, and neglected the king, but he was really curious about this matter, so he praised the king of Qin again, all kinds of kings are the most beautiful Wanli, just want to know the details.

Qin Wangzheng was unmoved, and listened to his praises in various famous sentences one after another. He was blown away, and then he explained calmly: "When I passed by Nanyang, I saw that the people here have clothes, food, and soldiers. So when I saw Taishou Teng, I praised him a few words, saying that if he was in Qin, he must be a talent for the feudal lord."

Yan Jiang tilted his head slightly, that's it?

Qin Wang was itchy by his expectant gaze, so he turned around and took out the information of the prefect Teng from the bookstore, and handed it to Yan Jiang for viewing.

Yan Jiang looked at the details ten times a day. It turned out that this man was a marquis in Qin State, but he was far away from South Korea. Taishou Teng had no surname and was of humble birth. He was amazingly talented, and within only ten years, he was promoted to the post of Nanyang prefect. However, South Korea is small and weak, and the lord of this county is already at the end of his life, and the nobles will not allow him to be promoted again.

Previously, his backers were King Han Hui and Prime Minister Zhang Ping, but after the death of King Han Hui of Qin, there was one emperor and one courtier, and Zhang Ping's family fell into Qin because of the Zheng Guoqu incident, so the prefect Teng was like a stepmother He was raised, and it was about to end--political career, you can't go up and down, either die in office, or make a big mistake and be picked off.

It is natural to retire and return home, but Teng is humbled to be the county guard, and he doesn't even have to think about what he has to pay for it. It is better to let him die than to let him die. Besides, if you don't have a backing to protect you, you dare to retire. Haven't you offended anyone in the past few decades?People can press you to death with one finger.

And in such a difficult situation, it was actually the Lord of the Strong Qin who saw that his situation was difficult, and was so encouraged by the monarch—it is unreasonable not to be reciprocal. The popular concept these days is "a scholar dies for his confidant" Confucianism" There is not much market for the saying of being loyal to the emperor and loving the country.

If it was Qin Jun's spies who came to buy him, he might have to hesitate for a long time, but since he has already entered the eyes of King Qin, it is a completely different way, so he surrendered to Qin.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Yan Jiang put away the scroll, looked at the bottom of the sand table, and sighed, "If you take down Nanyang before the swords are moved, Korea's time is running out."

Without Nanyang County, South Korea is almost only the capital, and there is no room for struggle at all.

He thought King Qin was just staring at Zhao Guo's head iron, but he pushed and pushed, and he had already made a plan. He was going to take South Korea without bloodshed, and at the same time draw the soldiers of South Korea.

"If I'm not mistaken, when you recruited the prefect Teng, you planned to let Huan Jue send troops to take down Zhao's Feilei." Yan Jiang looked at the sand table, "You originally planned that Qin's army would take down Feicheng, and you will take it down here." Nanyang, when the time comes, draw the soldiers of Nanyang, and the north and the south will attack Handan at the same time, and use two prongs to destroy Zhao."

Taking Zhao Guo and South Korea at the same time, so that neither side has time to react, but the plan is not as good as changing. Li Mu's sideways intervention made King Qin's original plan to destroy Zhao with 20 people bankrupt, so the king planned to play big of.

It's just a bit scary, it's basically all of Qin's family property.

If you lose, it's not a joke.

So Yan Jiang asked: "What if you lose?"

"Then we'll lose," King Qin said indifferently, "Li Mu will be alone in the end, if you can't defeat him in this way, then change to Wei."

But you must not leave after a defeat. In this way, on the one hand, it will appear that Qin is afraid of Zhao, and on the other hand, it will improve the morale of the six countries, and feel that Qin is not invincible.

"It seems that the king has already been selected?" Yan Jiang asked in a low voice.

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly: "Huanjue was defeated, Wang Jian can still use it."

This time Qin General Wang Jian's performance was quite eye-catching, saving most of Qin's face, and also showing that his level is not inferior to Huanjue.

"However, mobilizing 40 troops will not be achieved overnight." Yan Jiang knew that he could not persuade him on this matter, so he asked other questions. People have to be recruited to come here, and it will take more than half a year just to assemble, let alone transport and collect military rations.

King Qin smiled slightly, and moved closer: "Does Aiqing have a good strategy?"

Yan Jiang gently pushed him: "There is a little thing, maybe it can be used."

He lowered his head, took out a charcoal pencil, and drew a unicycle on the paper. He was a master of details, and he drew the axle and handle very carefully, and the structure was very clear.

Today's food transportation is done by hand, head, shoulder, back, and sled. The number of ox carts and horse carts is extremely limited, so the consumption along the way is very terrifying. Zhong", that is to say, robbing the enemy of a grain is equivalent to saving 20 grains in the rear. food.

Therefore, if we want to fight a big battle with tens of thousands of people, we must store grain at the border in advance, and the two-wheeled vehicles on the road on the Taihang Mountains are difficult to travel. With this kind of small vehicle, we should be able to deliver more grain.

Qin Wang carefully observed the drawings and put them away. Seeing that it was getting late, he saw that A Jiang hesitated to speak, his heart moved, and he didn't speak. He just sat down slowly in front of the desk, picked up a scroll and read it carefully.

Yan Jiang picked up a little tiger, sat in front of him, waved his little paws and said: "Although the tiger hurts people, its son is innocent."

Qin Wangzheng read the text carefully, but turned a deaf ear to it.

Yan Jiang went over to pour another cup of strong tea and handed it to King Qin.

King Qin took it calmly and put it on his lips, but he refused to drink it.

Yan Jiang finally frowned, and persuaded in a low voice: "Since Huan Jue is dead, let him die in battle."

King Qin put down the scroll suddenly, and said with a sneer, "According to the laws of Qin, if the father dies in battle, the title will be inherited by the eldest son, don't you know?"

Yan Jiang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you can convict and seize the title. After all, Huan Jue shed blood for the great Qin's meritorious deeds. It is too much to sentence thousands of his family to cut in half."

Knowing that Huan Jue was not dead, the King of Qin ordered his whole family to be taken into custody. This meant that he didn't even keep a single mouse in his family!

Especially when he heard that Huanjuan now uses "Fan Yuqi" as a temporary name in the country of Yan, he knew why in the future, when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he asked Fan Yuqi for his head as a gift to the King of Qin, and Fan Yuqi handed over the head to the king. It was so quick.

If you destroy his entire clan today, you will have to carry your sword around the pillar tomorrow...

"It's about Qin Jun's face, this case must never be opened." King Qin said coldly. "I have ordered the King of Yan to hand over Huanju, and when he returns to Qin, the whole family will go on the road together!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, Yan Jiang stopped persuading him. The country of Yan is far away, and there is still time to come back and forth.

He picked up the two cubs, said hello and left, and hugged left and right.

Qin Wangzheng saw him go away, so he leisurely took the bowl of tea and tasted it slowly.

In March of the 12th year of Qin Wangzheng, the State of Qin proclaimed the world, the prefect of Nanyang in South Korea descended to Qin, and Nanyang County was included in the land of Qin, causing an uproar all over the world.

How important Nanyang is to South Korea, anyone with a count knows.

Without Nanyang, South Korea would lose all its deep land, and the Qin army could reach the capital in one day.

At the same time, without sources of tax revenue and soldiers, the nobles left as many as they could.

Not only that, after the eunuch Teng returned to Qin, in return, the King of Qin was very aggressive and promoted him to be an internal historian, as an example of submitting to the Great Qin.

Nei Shi is a senior official of the Qin State, ruling the 41 counties in Guanzhong of the Great Qin Dynasty and the defense of the entire Xianyang.

Qin Wangzheng's move immediately produced a strong demonstration effect. Not only did the nobles in South Korea start to protect themselves wisely, even Guo Kai of Zhao Guo was quietly asking if he could change to a prime minister if he also returned to Qin.

The King of Qin even wrote a letter to King Han himself, saying that as long as King Han surrendered, he would never kill a single Korean, and at the same time retain the priests of the Korean Jongmyo Temple and the title of Marquis conferred by the Emperor Zhou, hoping that he would see the situation clearly.

With the example of Taishou Teng, for a while, most people in South Korea wanted to surrender-in this way, the only damage would be that King Han would become Marquis Han, and they could still make a living under Qin State.

……

These undercurrents failed to affect Yan Jiang. While nursing the little tiger and the little giant panda, he participated in the production line of the Mo family's unicycle.

He "invented" the iron circular saw, and then under the guidance of the Mo family, he made an iron circular saw that could be powered by water.

Then he "invented" the assembly line, because the Mohists had achieved standardization, and when they accepted the great production mode of the assembly line, they almost kowtowed to him, and they had to recognize him as an elder of the Mo family. A famous senior.

Then, the output exploded!

After being proficient in mathematics, these Mohist disciples can even calculate the coefficient of hydraulic kinetic energy, and study how large the blade is most suitable and where the water flow is the fastest.

Ancient wheels were very troublesome to make. "The rope is straight in the wood, and the wheel is thought of as a wheel. Its curve is in the standard. Although it is violent, it will not be strong again." The wood needs to be heated to bend it, and the middle is used as a shaft, so the car was very valuable in ancient times. In ancient times, there was a country of "thousand vehicles" to show how powerful a country is, that is to say, a country with a thousand vehicles is already a big country.

And after he and the Mo family made a few iron circular saws, this small Shaofu was already a country of a thousand vehicles, and it was even developing into a country of ten thousand vehicles.

These cars were first put into trial use near Xianyang.

The feedback is super good. You can see the farm work finishing everywhere. The husband is pushing the cart, the wife is sitting on it, and He Meimei is returning home.

Yan Jiang himself used a small cart, pulled two tigers and a panda around every day, and then went to Mo's house to make simple pulleys, gears and other linkage designs.

Until one day when he came home late, he saw Qin Wangzheng crouching over his desk reviewing documents.

Seeing him coming back, Qin Wangzheng raised his head: "Why did you come back at this time?"
