Chapter 296: The Eve of the Great Chaos (5)
When the craftsman who could refine that kind of bronze came to Qin with ores that refine secret recipes, the alchemist tried it and really refined "Zhu Rong Blood" from those ores.
Looking for Qin, there were naturally the ore of Yunnan-Guizhou countries, so I tried it. In addition, the original technological heritage of Yunnan-Guizhou countries, I actually made such a leaf reed.
Compared with the "fifteen kilograms of energy" required by the Mohist 100 gold reward, it is naturally insufficient and may not be unavailable.
After roughly telling the process, the alchemist said: "Since that is the case, why do you have to use iron to quench the leaf spring? Why not use copper? The art of copper smelting in Qin people is far better than iron smelting. There are many craftsmen, so try more."
"The Mohist school thought that only iron could be beaten in different ways and quenched, so he bounty a hundred gold to seek. But he didn't know that I had been dead for three years, and I had 400 deaths, and I spent a thousand kilograms of copper. I didn't use iron but phosphorus copper, so I could get it."
"The craftsmen have made twenty pieces, each trying two hundred times, and two thousand people get angry, and half of them are already available."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qi was already surprised and bowed to Qin Jun: "Your Majesty! Qin Jun is strong!"
Then he was sad and thought of something, and he was relieved and sighed leisurely.
How could Qin Jun not know Wu Qi’s thoughts? He also sighed: “First west and then east, this is Changluo. Unless the world is in chaos and Wei Mo goes to war, I will not take Xihe. I think that will happen twenty years later. Twenty years later, the Wushu who was training in the first-hand manner is probably old, so why bother to be sad?”
He did not have suspicion of Wu Qi for this, but was even more happy. It was said that Wu Qi was ruthless. If he was really ruthless, he would need to be careful.
Wu Qi bowed and thanked him again, and he was both grateful and sighed. He thought that he really had the style of a civil servant.
Qin Jun didn't care about Wu Qi's reaction, which was also human nature. Wu Qi was seeking fame all his life in order to display his talents.
He could divorce his wife, and there were rumors that he killed his wife in order to seek generals, but he had a different mentality about the Wei Wuzun, who had been trained by him.
Qin Jun did not mention this section, and he had his own concerns and said, "In this way, I, Qin people, can also make gunpowder by myself. Salter is used to exchange gunpowder, which has already been taxed. I, Qin people, have also got the leaf spring."
"It's just ironware. Every thousand pounds of money is given to the Mo family. This is a transaction, and it's not expensive. In addition, we still need to form an alliance with the Mo family and are not in a position to compete for the time being, as long as we don't take Nan Zheng."
"Since then, my great Qin army has used muskets and fired ten thousand guns at once. Who can stop it?"
"Since the stirrup comes out, I don't think this chariot is used anymore, right?"
Wu Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no."
"If you want to win the West River and dominate the world, you may not use a chariot."
"But if we go west and stabilize the Xirong and Yiqu, the chariots will still be of great use."
"Using chariots as a formation, supplemented by muskets and bronze cannons, transporting baggage, is most suitable for capturing the Western Rong and stabilizing the Western Regions."
"Your Highness can train two armies. One army is facing the Xihe River, without chariots, all of which use muskets, martial knights, and bronze cannons."
"A army faced the Western Rong, and often used cavalry. Infantry fought against the chariots, using chariots as a formation. A land of abundant water and grass was occupied and cultivated, military merits were given to the fields, captured the people of Yiqu of the Western Rong as slaves, and distributed those who made merits and obtained fields."
"I have already realized something when I see the Mohist family in the Gaoliu Formation. I compiled two volumes of "Che Formation" and "Dianbao", which are now available to open up the Western Rong."
Wu Qi looked at the leaf spring on the ground and said, "The Mo family said that if the leaf spring is obtained, then the musketeer can be combined with the spearmen. We can make copper spears firmly before the musketeer, and the formation is denser. With the momentum of the spearmen, the Qin spear is rushing and attacking, and no one can stop it."
"The Mo family has many melee guns. If they abandon them, they need the courage of a hero to cut off their arm. In this way, I, Qin, will take the lead!"
"It's just... I guess we can't hide the fact that we can make gunpowder."
When Qin Jun heard this, he asked back: "Why should I hide it?"
Everyone was puzzled, but Shengchuo seemed to think of the key and asked: "Your Majesty is about to use this matter to stir the world?"
Qin Jun nodded and smiled, "White and Zhao abandoned the alliance. When the war broke out, the Mo family followed the story of Duke Xiang of Song in Lu. Zhao Zhang was frightened and wanted to seek peace. I sent Wu Qicheng Chongquan, so the Wu soldiers in Wei Xihe did not dare to move. Zhao Zhang firmly determined and continued to fight with Wei. Then the battle of Nanjishui came, and the offensive and defensive momentum between Zhao and Wei was easy."
"I don't spend a single soldier, and I will raise one Wu, so that Wei will attack 50,000 Xihe soldiers and dare not move. The King of Zhao will be able to firmly rebel against Wei."
"Today's events are known to everyone in the world. Only the Mo family can make gunpowder, which is secret. Now, the Mo family wants to join the princes, but we can make gunpowder. What do we think about the world?"
This was exactly the same as what Shengchuo thought just now, and he smiled and said, "The world must think that the Mo family taught us to make gunpowder. In this way, the Wei State will be shocked and think that Qin Mo has formed an alliance."
"If Qin Mo is in alliance, Wei will be attacked on both sides, and the emperor will continue to change. The Wei people dare not move. First, after this war, it will be difficult for Wei to fight again. Second, this time the Mo family suffered little losses, and Wei is worried that the Mo family will be in Luowei and sent troops in the Central Plains."
"If Qin Mo is an alliance, and Zhao people's Yunzhongdi belongs to Mo, then there will be no conflicts between Qin and Zhao, and the Qin and Zhao alliance can be formed."
"If Han wants to win Zheng, he will be angry with Chu. Qin and Chu are married, and Chu and Wei hatred Daliang are proof."
"In this way, Wei and Han are weak. There is Mo in the east, Chu in the south, Zhao in the north, and Qin in the west. The hegemony of Wei will be difficult to achieve any more."
"But... this matter still needs to be considered. The method of making gunpowder should not be leaked. Instead, it will be announced after the alliance that the Qin people can make gunpowder."
"At that time, if the Qin Mo alliance can be achieved, it's best. If the Mo family cannot achieve the benefit of the world, then announce this matter and make the world think that Qin Mo has signed a secret agreement!"
"In a few years, once the troops are completed, cross the Luoshui field and use copper cannons, gunpowder and new troops to break through several cities to intimidate the Wei people. If the Wei people can be forced to move the capital to the Central Plains, the general situation will be achieved! Xihe is the thing that the Qin people talk about, and they can be retrieved after the Western Rong is settled."
"The Western Rong Ding was the only way to trade in the extreme west. Although the Qin people could not produce it, they monopolized the key paths and made the most profit. All the artifacts and tools of the Mohist school can be purchased with the benefits of the official business in the extreme west."
"If the Western Rong is in peace, the population will be hundreds of thousands, half of which will be granted land and half of which will be slaves. If you can raise land and give land and military merits, you will be able to train 100,000 soldiers, and do not farm or farm. You will be able to train for full-time training. The family's farming depends entirely on slaves."
"If the Western Rong is in peace, you can get hundreds of thousands of horses, divide them into farming, and train cavalry."
"If you don't take Nan Zheng, the Xihe River is slow, but the Luo River is the one that waits for changes in the world."
"If you can't get the Xihe River, you won't get a alliance with Wei, and you can control Wei."
"If you get the Xihe River, you can join forces with Wei and break up the alliance with the Mo family, so that Wei can block the Mo family."
"First plan for the Western Rong, then seize Shangjun, Xihe, east-west and west-west links to capture Wei territory."
"Qi has been brave enough and is too close to the Mo family on Si Shang. If you want to be strong, you will be beaten. The Mo family has the excuse of "benefiting the world" and can be used at any time and can be ignored at any time. If Qi is strong, the Mo family will declare war against Qi in the name of "benefiting the world". Zhao has been closed, and the northern roads are all returned to Mo; the Han people are weak, and if they swallow Zheng, they will be angry with Chu... As for Zhongshan and Yan, they are all small countries. The general trend of the world has now been clear. Those who fight for the world are the affairs of Mo, Chu and Qin."
These words are exactly what Qin Jun wants to say. Nowadays, wars still require some legitimate reason.
In this matter, the Mohist school had an advantage. The morality and political system of the Mohist school made the Mohist school have an excuse to "punish unjustly and benefit the world" than the other princes.
This war excuse always exists, but the Mohist can choose to use it or not for the time being. The princes did not reform the Si political system in accordance with the Mohist morality for a day, so this excuse is a sharp sword hanging above the heads of the princes at any time.
The essence of the Qi-Mo war, in the eyes of the Qin people thousands of miles away, was just that the Qi State wanted to establish the absolute authority of the Tianhe family through Fei State Affairs and prepare for the reform. In the view of Qin Jun, this was the same as after he returned to the country and succeeded to the throne, he trained the new army to fight against the Western Rong, and first picked a soft persimmon to enhance his prestige and strength to prepare for the reform.
Therefore, the Mohist school used the excuse of "punishing evil", completely disrupting Qi, which made Qi no longer have the opportunity to reform and strengthen. The external environment does not allow it. The premise of reform is to be able to withstand the counter-attack and interference of collusion between inside and outside. Qi no longer has this condition.
Qi State was too far away from the Zhou emperor and too close to Si Shang. No matter how reforms were made, it seemed that it could not escape the fate of being interfered by the Mo family; the breakup between Zhao and Wei and Wei and Wei and Han instigated by the Mo family made Qi State lack an ally that could "cry the Qin court".
Especially the rumors that Qi State was going to give up Jucheng, and the Yishui and Yimeng Mountain Great Wall gave the Mo family a strategic advantage of "Qi and Wei dared to form an alliance, defend the western front, and first defeat Linzi along the eastern front". It is impossible for Qi and Wei to form an alliance, unless Qi State would rather blow it up itself and cut off the Mo family and fight to the death.
Qin Jun admired the rumors that the Mo family wanted the essence of Qi, but wanted Jucheng and Yimeng Mountains, and had studied it many times.
With the reform of war means such as gunpowder and stirrup arrays flowing into Qin State, and actively learning, Qin State's expansion into the Western Rong State has also become the most profitable direction at present.
Not only can it be said that it is easy to fight, but it can also greatly cooperate with the new military merit reform, turning the Qin new army into a army that seeks profit for "land", "disposable slave", "going full-time military service", and "distributes family slaves in war".
Capturing people to farm as slaves, and those who give land were given birth and made meritorious service. Turning the noble Qin State into a Qin State that gained military merits and gained profits, and constantly expanding is the most suitable way for Qin State at this time.
At this time, Qin Jun praised Shengchuo's analysis: "I am very grateful to me. The order for the second reform should be improved as soon as possible. Once the Mohist alliance is held, it will be announced immediately, and the reform will be carried out in chaos in the country and the old customs will be eliminated in one fell swoop."
He looked at Wu Qi and bowed: "If there is a rebellion in the country, it will depend on you."
Wu Qi was worshipped peacefully and replied, "Don't worry, you are incompetent and noble. From my perspective, you are vulnerable. Now you are granted a new army of land and tying households. Why do you need 70,000? I will give you a 30,000 army to quell any possible rebellion."
"If you want to change, you will change deeply. The world will be in chaos and time will not be available. This alliance is the best opportunity. Within five years, all countries will have no fighting spirit and ability. If you miss the opportunity, you may not have the opportunity to make complete reforms."
