Chapter 276: The extremely sensitive state of Qin

"My lord, the minister believes that certain measures should be taken against the six countries before launching an attack on the Yueshi." Wang Jian said with a fist.

"The minister also thinks it should be so." Wei Liao also said.

"The widow also understands, but what measures should be taken. Are there any strategies?" King Qin asked.

"This." The two said nothing.

What King Qin, Wang Jian, and Wei Liao discussed was a briefing from Qi.

At this time, Qin State has entered October, October, the first month of Qin State. The first month of each country is different. Qin State uses October as the first month. Qin was busy up and down. They were not busy with the first month, but war. Qin, especially Guanzhong with Xianyang as the center, had become the focal point of the huge war.

Five arsenals are producing at full capacity. The production speed of muskets has suddenly increased to an astonishing level. Within half a month, Qin State was equipped with 20,000 muskets and 110 artillery of various types at once. This number is very staggering.

Behind these numbers is the application of a large number of technologies. The first is the improvement of boiler equipment. Qin’s first boiler explosion occurred in Zhao Gao’s textile factory, but Zhao Gao, who had completed the order as soon as possible, accelerated the progress of the textile. result. No barometer is installed as an indicating boiler because the pressure is too high. The valve is not loosened. The boiler exploded, killing a boiler worker on the spot. The incident occurred on the south bank of the Weihe River. Almost all the factories are concentrated there. Did not alarm King Qin. However, Zhao Gao took the initiative to confess the matter to King Qin. However, King Qin ordered Zhao Gao to completely solve all the hidden dangers of boiler explosion. then. Zhao Gao looked around for craftsmen and inquired in order to find a solution.

It just so happened that Jiao Fei, a student of the Celestial Army, happened to have a discussion with Zhao Gao while he was developing an altimeter according to Shangwen's military manual. Two hits hit it off. Soon, the barometer was changed to a pressure gauge. Installed on the valve, after several tests, this hidden production hazard was finally solved. The popularity of using boilers in Qin State once again increased.

Domestic weapons production began to increase on a large scale. Military adaptation into the city is also rapidly accelerating. Qin Jun officially adapted the first Musketeer. The first Musketeer Brigade. There are three gun regiments and two artillery regiments under the musketeer division. There are more than 17,000 people in total. The establishment is very large. There are two cavalry regiments under the cavalry brigade. A special artillery battalion. The total number is about 6,000.

It was in Qin Jun that large-scale internal production and reorganization work were carried out. The two memorials from the Six Nations aroused the extremely sensitive nerves of Qin.

One is Wang Wan's. This is the first time a memorial has been proposed to split the six domestic parts into two factions. King Qin and the minister and generals basically agreed to this memorial. And for the other one. The differences are great. This memorial comes from Sima Xin. Sima Xin stayed in Qi as a staff member of the embassy and counselor sent to Qi. In Qi State. He wandered around and accidentally discovered that Qi was actively mobilizing a large number of people. This aroused Sima Xin's vigilance. Without finding out the facts. He immediately sent out his memorial.

The memorial is extremely vague. The memorial only mentioned that Qi State mobilized a large number of people. The direction happens to be at the junction of Yan, Zhao, and Wei. At the same time, it didn't explain what the specific situation was.

Qin State is now in the stage of war preparations across the country. At this time, Qin State was extremely sensitive. On the one hand, the pressure from Yue's. The second state of Qin was very worried when it sent troops to the west on a large scale. The six nations suddenly organized into an alliance army to attack Qin.

If you put it in normal times. Qin Guo would treat it calmly. However, continuous combat preparations kept Qin State in a tense and sensitive period. This ambiguous memorial. Thoroughly stimulated Qin's sensitive nerves.

The court was divided into many factions. One group believes that the facts should be found out. This is the more calm one. Feng Quji is the leader of this faction, and he is the Qin State who engages in intelligence. No information has been received that the six countries have formed an alliance. The other faction believed that troops should be sent. While the six-nation alliance is still inconclusive. Take thunder measures to beat it. This faction is mainly Yang Duanhe's generals. The middle mixed faction is Wang Jian and Wei Liao. And Li Si is not from any faction.

King Qin did not have a clear understanding of the opinions of the officials. What does Qi State do when it gathers its troops? No one knows. But a fact was placed in front of Qin State. The State of Qin is gathering forces on a large scale. Prepare to go west with all your strength. If after the West Expedition, the Six Nations will come to attack. Qin will face two huge fronts. Qin Guo obviously couldn't bear such a great pressure. Moreover, according to the original plan, the Six Nations must be beaten. But how to beat. The conclusion from the beginning was to announce the world. However, an announcement cannot prevent the assembly of the forces of the six countries in time.

The current situation is still relatively good, that is, Qin's main force is still assembled in Xianyang, and the army has not set off. But accept the adaptation of weapons and equipment in situ. How did Qin Jun decide. How to go. When the nerves are sensitive. King Qin immediately sent the memo to Shangwen. At the same time, they are required to return to Xianyang immediately.

Shangwen should report to King Qin in Xianyang every day. However, Shang Wen, who is so busy, rarely issues memorials on his own initiative. As a result, King Qin took the initiative to ask about Meng Tian's situation. Meng Tian described the construction of the northern base to King Qin in detail. King Qin was very happy after hearing this. It was the first time King Qin heard that the entire barracks had been transformed into a huge defensive city.

Afterwards, the urgent news from the north also relaxed for the extremely sensitive Qin State. The defensive depth of the northern Qin State severely set back the offensive of the Yue cavalry. Yueshi suffered heavy losses. More than 38,000 corpses were left behind by fifty thousand horses. This marked the beginning of stability in the north. The stalemate phase begins. The war between the two sides was deadlocked in the north.

King Qin praised this problem and sent it to the north. What kind of measures, let Shangwen think for himself.

The barracks in the north are full of joy. The first is the great victory of the war. According to the new reward system, once a victory on the battlefield is won, each soldier of the Qin Army will receive varying bonuses. Many soldiers of the Qin Army can't wait. They save their monthly military pay. Once the war is over, you can go home and build a house to marry a wife. Or buy a few acres of land. Pay for the army. It was a happy thing.

Others have already decided to go outside the Great Wall to make a living. They have become accustomed to life outside the Great Wall. Drink horse milk wine, graze, and eat large pieces of meat. And they have heard that after Qin's battle is over, he can obtain a large amount of land by holding bonds. So they are very eager for the war to end soon.

There are still some people who have gone to Guyang Iron Factory every day. The iron factory is being converted into an arsenal, and some workshops have already been put into operation on a large scale. They want to be workers. The reward is no worse than being a soldier.
