Chapter 267: embassy

"Fire it." Shang Wen said helplessly.

Several soldiers of the Qin Army reluctantly speculated a torch into the pit of the corpse that had been watered with diesel oil. These corpses were Qin Jun's death due to illness.

"This is something that can't be helped." Shang Wen said to himself.

"I understand." Meng Tian patted Shang Wen's shoulder with his sturdy big hand and said.

All the people silently watched the fire burn the bodies of the soldiers of the Qin Army. Under the frozen ground, it is impossible to bury these corpses deeply. If it is not handled in time, God knows what other diseases will appear.

Fight in cold winter conditions. Survival is far more important than war. Non-combat attrition starts with those who are healthy. These people are the backbone of combat effectiveness. They collapsed. The army collapsed.

Vigorous construction of modern military facilities began in the northern camp of the Qin Army. The sick soldiers began to focus on treatment and management. The soldiers’ camp meal began to become clean and tidy. There are drainage ditches on the ground, and the pavement has been hardened and paved with stones. After the water was drained, the camp was refilled, and the entire camp began to become clean and tidy.

The camp in the north began a large-scale expansion. In a distant place. Qin Jun arranged extremely dense barbed wire. And began a large-scale deep layout. Some bunkers and bunkers have also begun construction. These are the fire support points for the entire line of defense of the Qin Army. One or two artillery pieces became the finale of the entire line of defense.

In addition, Shang Wen and Meng Tian personally demonstrated snow bathing. Teach all Qin Jun to improve immunity. To resist the severe cold, adapt to combat in severe cold environment.

It is impossible for soldiers of the Qin Army to take a snow bath every day. To this end, Shangwen also specially built a large number of officer baths and soldier baths. This is Qin's first bathroom on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Qin Army suddenly changed the sloppy image of previous wars. These are nothing. Shangwen also specially set aside some soldiers to build laundry and drying rooms. The soldiers can put on clean and tidy clothes to fight. Moreover, these are paid, and the soldiers in the north received their first military payment. Although it was issued in the form of bonds. But it was enough to make those soldiers happy for a long time. The most common soldiers are given fifty and a half taels every month. For them, this is simply a huge amount of wealth. The morale of the soldiers lost due to the severe cold suddenly rose. And those laundry rooms. Shangwen needs to recruit some specialized women to do these things. After all, letting the soldiers do it themselves is what they think is a shame. For those women, they can also earn some subsidies.

Live well. Well dressed. Also eat well. Before Shangwen came, many soldiers ate mostly cold food, because the war situation was very urgent. Even if there is time, the cold weather makes it difficult for the soldiers to move. Thus. The probability of gastrointestinal disease is very high.

Hot meal. Soldiers must be served hot meals. And the rest system for soldiers will also be brought up. Shangwen began to implement a large-scale shift system in the military. Soldiers on guard do not have to stand guard for two hours or longer outside, but one hour instead. Except for the necessary open air, most of the guards are in the dark fort, equipped with a large number of telescopes as observation posts. Those soldiers in the open air have also undergone special warmth. Warm clothing made of wool felt. Already a special leather hat. There are also padded wool gloves. The soldiers' cold protection measures are to the extreme. The use of cold water is strictly prohibited, and all soldiers must be supplied by hot water. Many sentries began to distribute special small charcoal stoves. One is to keep warm, and the other is to boil water. Those who stand guard can replenish a lot of water in time.

At the same time, special canteens have also begun to be established. A large amount of hot food is supplied centrally. The soldiers of the Qin Army were full of praise for this. Clean and tidy dining environment. The soldiers of the Qin Army thought it was at home. It's not so neat at home. At the same time, for the soldiers to eat well. Shangwen also specially set up self-paid dishes. As a result, the soldiers' food has improved a lot. Many soldiers of the Qin Army are willing to pay this fee. Because they want to fight, they are fighting hard with their lives. Who knows where the next hour will be?

Besides. An important system has also begun to be implemented. The postal system. The war went on for three months, and the family letter reached ten thousand gold. The fiercer the war, the deeper the soldier's feeling for his hometown. Shang Wen knows the meaning of a family letter to soldiers very well.

In response, Shangwen established a special postal system. For the first time, all counties and counties in the State of Qin were numbered. Then set up a special letter office to centrally handle letters. Most of the soldiers can't write. Shangwen lets those who can write on their behalf. Then put it in an envelope. Pay according to different regions. Then these specialized personnel were assigned different numbers and transported to Xianyang for centralized distribution. This business is only for the territory of Qin, and cannot be launched for some soldiers from the six countries. As a result, the soldiers increasingly hope that Qin will be unified earlier.

Just when Shangwen started the construction of large-scale military facilities in the north. The envoys sent by the State of Qin to various Kanto countries also began to establish embassies there. At the beginning, this move was met with protests from Qi, Chu, and Zhao. But taken in the national power of Qin. These three countries are just protesting, and there are not many substantive measures. They are all afraid that Qin will use force against them.

South Korea and Wei have already made Qin frighten. What Qin Guorang did, they only had to obey. Yan Guo’s ambassador was because of the war. The latest establishment. But it is the most popular one. Because King Yan finally learned that his army had surrendered in Julu City. And Zhao Jun organized a hundred thousand army to come to condemn. Therefore, the embassy established by the State of Qin. Especially generous, it is also chartered to build on the side of the palace. In order to summon at any time.

The meaning of King Yan is already obvious. That is, it is hoped that Qin will send troops for assistance, or other assistance is also possible. For example, weapons, especially muskets and artillery. The ambassador of Qin State is Wang Wan. Wang Wan directly talked about the war between Qin State and Yueshi. Actually, he doesn't need to say. The Six Nations already know. Business information that extends in all directions has already reached the ears of the six countries. This is also the reason why they reluctantly agreed to Qin's embassy. They believed that Qin's move was clearly afraid of the six countries' aggressive attack on Qin. Qin State could only send such a small official and small staff to monitor it.

King Yan was disappointed. It was impossible for Qin State to send troops, and it was impossible to provide muskets and firearms to Yan State for large-scale use. Even if the price is high, they are unwilling.
