Chapter 1112: The Eight Masters of Jin Shang
Murong Ke was not interested in capturing at all, because no matter how many people were captured, there were not many regular troops of the Jin army, but the weapons captured made him have to care.
Murong Ke took out a long knife from the blades piled up into Sichuan, and pulled out the scimitar on the waist of the guard, after the two soldiers collided, the long knife of the Jin army was intact, but the scimitar of the Yuan army had an extra opening.
Murong Ke's face was full of solemnity, and he sighed: "Since I Yuanmeng got the new steelmaking method in the Han Court, the equipment as a whole has risen several steps, but I don't want to still lag behind the Jin army so much. ”
Murong Ke knew that the equipment of the local troops of the Jin army was eliminated by the regular army, and the weapons used by his guards were the most sophisticated in the Yuan army, but even so it was not as good as the equipment of the miscellaneous army of the Jin army.
If you follow this logic, wouldn't it be said that the regular army of the Jin army is so well-equipped that it has already thrown off the Yuan and Mongolian armies a few streets?
It's not that exaggerated, but it's not much worse.
After Temujin and Nurhachi acquired the various skills of the Han Dynasty, all aspects of the Yuanmeng and Manchu Qing dynasties made rapid progress, and instead of standing still in the war-torn Central Plains, various skills were also improving, especially the forging technology of weapons.
The promotion of technology by war is undoubtedly huge, and although Yuanmeng has now changed its guns, the princes of the Central Plains are also replacing aircraft carriers with warships.
The forging technology of the other princes of the Central Plains is improving, and the Qin and Jin dynasties are only the two that have improved the fastest, and the equipment level of the Han army as a whole still exceeds that of Yuanmeng by one level.
"If you can obtain the Jin Army's steel-making method and the weapon-forging method, I will have no opponent in this world!"
Murong Ke sighed and put the long knife back in his hand, he didn't blindly distribute these sophisticated weapons directly to the elite soldiers under his command.
The weapons used by Yuanmeng are not the same as those in the Central Plains, and even if the Yuanmeng soldiers are replaced with more equipment from the Jin army, they will not be accustomed to using them in a short time, and this will reduce the combat effectiveness of the Yuanmeng army.
Therefore, if you want to improve the equipment level of the Yuanmeng army, you must innovate the forging technology of the entire Yuanmeng country.
Regarding the innovation of forging technology, this does not need to worry about Murong Ke, the group of people who have their own Hanging Mirror Division will go to the trough to do it, but the effect is obviously not good at present.
Qin Jin is not as short-sighted as the Han Ting, and he attaches great importance to the secrecy of any technology, and the improvement of a country's overall forging technology is by no means something that can be done by tying up a few craftsmen, and Yuanmeng still has a long way to go to make up for the gap.
After Murong Shao finished his report with an excited face, Murong Lin immediately reported: "Uncle, when Miyuan retreated, he ordered the burning of many warehouses such as grain depots, but he was stopped in time by his nephew's army. ”
Murong Ke's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the city?" ”
"Although nearly half of the grain and grass in the city have been transferred to Yinchuan by Miyuan, it is still enough for our army to eat for a month."
The 70,000 army ate a month's worth of grain and grass, which is not a small amount, and this is only half of the original amount, which shows how abundant the grain reserves are when they have not been transferred.
A hint of joy also flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he said in his heart: Your Majesty's decision to win over the eight families of the Jin Shang Dynasty with heavy profits is indeed right.
The eight major families of the Jin Shang Dynasty refer to: Qiao, Chang, Cao, Hou, Qu, Kang, Fan, and Kong eight business families, of which Qiao and Chang are the families of the north and are all business families supported by the Qin family, while the other six are all in the south family.
The six families in the south almost monopolized the entire commerce in the south, and among the many families who resold materials to Yuanmeng, the six families in the south were the most ruthless, and the two families in the north also colluded with Yuanmeng.
Murong Ke led the army this time, leaving no back road and no supplies, but he still dared to travel lightly without too much grain and grass in order to pursue speed, which was undoubtedly an extremely bold decision.
After Murong Ke entered the Hetao, the first city he attacked happened to have a medium-sized grain depot when he was unfamiliar with the place, which just solved his grain and grass crisis.
Of course, there is no such coincidence in this world, and the reason why Murong Ke's luck is so good is because of the information provided by the Qiao family and the fact that they sent someone to show him the way.
The Yuanmeng army attacked, and at such a critical juncture, Qu Yuan, as the Taishou of Yinchuan, did not stay in Yinchuan Town, the garrison, but ran to a remote town, which in itself was unreasonable.
In fact, Qu Yuan came to this city mainly to transfer the grain and grass in the city, because there is a medium-sized granary in this city.
The location of the Jin army's grain depot is secret, and most of them are secret depots, even Qu Yuan doesn't know where they are.
But since there is a dark library, then there is also a clear library.
Although it shows that ordinary people in the library don't know the location, the Qiao family, who is responsible for raising grain and grass for the Jin army, naturally knows where it is.
The eight major families of the Jin merchants have all been secretly bought by Temujin, and this time it is precisely because of the Qiao family to provide information and lead the way that Murong Ke was able to find the Jin army's grain depot so accurately, and solved the problem of grain and grass in this war at one time.
"Father, now that there is food and grass, our army will not stay in this city for a long time, do you want to ......?"
As he spoke, Murong Shao showed a hideous smile, and made a gesture to wipe his neck, his meaning was self-evident, that is, he wanted to slaughter the city directly.
"Stupid."
Murong Ke glanced at his son dissatisfied, and said coldly: "My Yuanmeng sent troops this time to reoccupy the Hetao, but now the Hetao is no longer the original Hetao, there are nearly 1.3 million people in three counties and thirty cities. ”
Qin Wen governed with leniency and benevolence, and as a result, he won the hearts of the people of Hetao, and once our army slaughtered the city, it would definitely arouse the resistance of the people of Hetao.
Killing won't solve the problem, you know? ”
Murong Shao's face showed shame: "The child understands. ”
"In addition, under the order, in addition to killing the captured Jin army, the rest of the strong men will be released."
Murong Shao's eyes widened, and his expression was incredulous: "Father, it's okay if you don't kill the people, but these captives are all soldiers, if they are released like this, they will come to fight against us." ”
After Murong Ke glanced at his son in disappointment, he immediately said to Murong Lin: "Lin'er, you come and tell Shao'er the reason why I did this. ”
"Yes."
After Murong Lin responded, he said unhurriedly: "These people are just strong men, no matter how many there are, they will not pose a threat to our army, so it is better to let them go and use them to buy the hearts of the people." ”
