Chapter 121: North situation

Shangwen really didn't have much interest in this stuttering man. I am not a politician, nor are those politicians so thoughtful. For these issues, let Han Fei consider it himself. Shangwen found a reason to be busy and drove Han Fei out of his house. Then, start drawing the drawings. Mainly some machinery and equipment.

Inside the Xianyang Palace. King Qin gathered important civil and military officials who could gather.

"This is the memorial sent by General Wang Jian. Take a look." King Qin handed a memorial to Li Si.

Li Si opened it and scanned it quickly, then handed it to Wei Liao. The same was true for Wei Liao and passed it to Feng Quji.

"Li Si. What's your opinion?" King Qin asked.

"The minister believes that the war between Yan and Zhao will be beneficial to Da Qin, but General Wang Jian mentioned in the memorial that Li Mu was to beware of our army. But the delay in sending troops to attack the city, this situation should not last long. Zhao Jun newly occupied the twenty-ninth city of the Yan Kingdom. The Zhao Jun brutally treated the Yanmin. Yanmin will inevitably retaliate repeatedly. Zhao Jun's food and grass will inevitably be ineffective. Zhao Wang is a person who is eager for quick success, so the minister believes that Li Mu will send troops sooner or later. Siege, break the current situation." Li Si analyzed.

"En" King Qin nodded. Li Si nodded when he saw King Qin. He was delighted.

"What is your opinion, Mr. Wei Liao?" King Qin then asked.

"The minister believes that the situation in the north is just as the prime minister said. It won't take long for Zhao Jun to break the situation. However, my army of Wang Jian cavalry in Daqin is behind Li Mu's border army. It is like a sharp sword hanging on Li Mu's head. . Li Mu must take measures. The war between Yan and Zhao is very beneficial to our Great Qin. The king should put the two countries in a stalemate. The war will not be resolved for a long time. It will bring down the state of Zhao. For our Great Qin Dong to sweep the six countries and reduce one most. A powerful opponent." Wei Liao said.

"Not only will Yan and Zhao be at war, but we must also take this opportunity to involve Qi, Chu, Wei, and South Korea. I, Da Qin, can take advantage of it." Wei Liao said.

"What Ai Qing said is extremely true." King Qin praised.

"Widows look at it, it's according to the state lieutenant." King Qin said.

"I don't know the king, but there is a good strategy for the six countries to bite each other." Feng Qu asked quickly.

"The country of Yan has bought two thousand guns from my Daqin. Qi country of Chu has also purchased guns. Presumably, it won't be long before they will buy them on a large scale." King Qin said.

"The king's opinion. The minister believes that we should send envoys to buy over the ministers of various countries and add a boost to accelerate the disintegration of the six countries." Wei Liao said.

"En, yes. Just do what An Guowei said." King Qin said.

"My lord, the memorial also said that Li Mu was jealous of Wang Jian's army, and I don't know if Wang Jian's army should be mobilized. Give it a sign." Li Si continued.

"This. The prime minister can have a good plan." Qin Wang asked.

"The minister thinks that it can be mobilized to alleviate Li Mu's fear of my Qin army. In addition, my army can also take the opportunity to rest. Stabilize the front." Li Si said.

"What do you think of Mr. Wei Liao?" King Qin asked Wei Liao.

"The minister thinks that it can be mobilized. It is only appropriate to mobilize. Wang Jian's army has at least more than 35,000 men, and they are all cavalry. The cost is the most expensive, plus Meng Tian's 10,000 horses. It is indeed necessary to withdraw a large part of this part. , At least 30,000." Wei Liao suggested.

"The Mengtian tribe swept across the Hu people tribe. A large number of Hu people, horses, cattle and sheep, and some leather and other things were packed. These things are all my Daqin winter possessions, different from the mainland outside the Great Wall. It is extremely cold, and the clothes are prepared early. The continued presence of the army outside the Great Wall is not conducive to logistical supplies of food and grass. Most of the cavalry team should be withdrawn. Replenish them nearby." Wei Liao said.

"En. This is indeed a problem. Leave these things to the lieutenant." King Qin said.

"Here." Wei Liao agreed.

Zhao Kingdom, Handan, in the Zhaowang Palace. King Zhao could not bear Li Mu anymore. So many people have been sent to urge Li Mu to send troops to attack the city. Destroy the country of Yan. The strength of the Zhao Kingdom will be greatly increased, so that there will be capital to fight against the Qin Kingdom. But Li Mu hasn't sent troops for a long time. Wang Zhao angrily smashed everything that could be smashed.

"Bah" Zhao Wang drew out a sword still on the ground.

"Let Li Mu send his troops to attack the city immediately. Otherwise, do it yourself." Zhao Wang slammed his sword into the ground fiercely. The sword also made a "buzzing" noise.

"Here." Several attendants agreed carefully.

Guo Kai walked back to the country of Zhao. The soldier behind is armed with a cannon. This thing cost Guo Kai 500 gold to buy. When Guo Kai left Qin Palace, the more he thought about it, the more things went wrong. If you think you go back empty-handed, you will be blamed. This artillery must be bought back anyway. So Guo Kai personally met with Chu's envoys to discuss. It took Guo Kai a lot of words to speak to Chu Shi. However, the cost is too great. It turned out to be five hundred gold. I knew I should be the first to buy it. Guo Kai regretted it.

Fortunately, he had done an errand, and Guo Kai happily moved towards Handan.

When Shang Wen finished the drawing, it was already night. When Shang Wen asked the craftsman again about the result, he saw a scene of surprise.

The hydraulic press has started to work. The pressed iron plate is reheated. I don't know when a cutting blade was installed on another hydraulic press made by a craftsman. This kind of blade is very simple, very rough, but with a well-made blade added to the top of the iron block. In this way, the heated iron plate can be cut calmly. Then, forge again. Create a rectangular iron sheet. Then put it into a circular groove. Circle a cylinder. Start beating repeatedly. Soon, half of the barrel was built, and then it was operated again. The barrel is basically formed. Then there is correction and polishing. Wait for processing.

Such a technological process also bears the shadow of handwork. But this is a transition. Compared with the method of pouring. This method can squeeze out the air bubbles in the barrel. The performance of the barrel has been further improved. Moreover, as long as it is improved a little bit, it can basically be made by machine.

Unexpectedly, these craftsmen have their own minds. One day began to make such a big adjustment. Shang Wen really can't imagine. It seems that I have to organize a research and development team. The spirit of cooperation is indispensable on this road. To go far, a large team is indispensable. I am alone, although I have skills and knowledge. But it is inseparable from a processing team. They solve practical problems. How to do it. How to process. How to make the finished product.

"Mr. Qin. What do you think." Chen Da said while watching.

Shang Wen was surprised by the creative ability of these craftsmen, and did not answer Chen Da's words.
