No change

In the middle of the night, the Chu army that crossed the river held torches and quickly advanced westward, and the rumbling explosion sounded again on the left bank of the water they had abandoned. This is not the sound of artillery, this is the cannon cannon blowing up the artillery and baggage that cannot be taken away. The west is full of mountain roads, most of the artillery will be blown up, and the baggage will be set on fire, and a few Fu Yao horses, which Lu Qianli cherishes a lot, will not escape the fate of being destroyed.

At this time, Zhao Zheng, who tried his best to sleep peacefully in order to deal with government affairs, could no longer sleep. The Chu army went west, like a fish thorn stuck in the throat, finally pulled out, and the recovery of Nanzheng and Bashu was in sight, and Daqin was breaking free from the fate of being on the verge of extinction and gaining a new life. Every time he thought of this, Zhao Zheng inevitably shivered, as if a traveler who was frozen and stiff on a snowy night had just entered the warm guest house.

"Jing people died in the west, Wei Qing thought that this matter was ......" Zhao Zheng is in the old Daoyi, and Wei Yi is naturally in the old Daoyi. Although the ministers in Yongcheng have been asking Zhao Zheng to return to Yongcheng and even move back to Xianyang.

"Worry-free." Wei Yu, who had already fallen asleep, was also awakened by the sound of the Chu army's cannons, and like Zhao Zheng, he, the national lieutenant, did not leave the city, which should not be something that a dignified national lieutenant should pay attention to. "Jing people go west, if I can get Bashu, they will always be trapped in the west."

"What if I can't get to Bashu?" The servants were still lighting the anointing candles, and the hall was getting brighter and brighter. Zhao Zheng's gaze looked at the map and landed on the location of Tho Di and Bashu.

"If I can't get to Bashu, I can attack Qi Wei." Wei Yi is Wei Wei in the end, although the battle plan of fighting in Daze and Nanfu Bashu was pushed by him, but after calming down, thinking back on the overall situation, he felt more and more that Wang Qian's book was not unreasonable. "Bashu is the border of the world, and it is not wise not to take advantage of the defeat of the Jing people to attack its foundation quickly."

"If you don't attack Bashu, what about the grain?" Zhao Zheng frowned. Wei Yu is only responsible for the military, not about people's livelihood. He is different, he has to endure the complaints of the prime ministers, the court officials, and the county officials, and take the precious corn out of the mouth of the head of the Qianshou and hand it over to the Governor's Mansion. From last year to this year, the people of various counties have become more and more violent, more and more officials have died in the line of duty, and there have been more and more complaints from hundreds of officials.

"I have a war boat, and the war boat can go south along the river to enter the eastern land of Jingguo; It can also go to sea in Jishui, and go to the east of Jingguo through the sea. Contrary to Zhao Zheng, who frowned, Wei Yi was smiling. He was happy in the battle of Daze, and the formation of the Bai Di people made him even happier that the Yue people were invincible, and he finally took the lifeblood of Jing State. "I have a war boat, and the land of Qi Wei is for me to take away, and the Su of Qi Wei is the Su of my Great Qin......"

"In that case, why not attack Qi Wei quickly?" Zhao Zhengluo's gaze on the map immediately turned to Wei Yu. "That being the case, why bother fighting for Nanzheng and Bashu? Why fight with the Jing people in Daze? ”

"Great King," Zhao Zheng was a little unhappy, completely forgetting his original intention of advocating that the Zhou division fight in Chencang and the Qin army to defend the pass. "When the war boat was first built, who knew that it could overthrow the Jing people's boat division? Even if the Jing people can be overthrown now, the loss of our army is twice as much as that of the Jing people. If there is no formation, dozens of Vietnamese warships will prevent our army from moving south.

The victory of the boat division is better than ten people who died in me, and five people who should die in Jing, which is beyond the reach of this land division. Previously, Daqin fought with the Jing people, and dozens of people died, and the Jing people may not have died a single person. This year, Bashu can be the best, and when Bashu waits for our army to fight for a long time, our army should also move to Qi Wei to attack the east of Jingren. ”

"Waiting for a long time to fight the boat...... "Shaofu's next task is to build a boat, day and night.

At that time, Lord Bai Di advised himself not to take Fusu to the Qiang people, and it was the example of the Roman State that he said. He said that when the Roman state and the Punic state were in a great war, the Roman national boat division was completely destroyed because of the storm at sea, but the Roman people tried their courage and built more than 200 warships to fight the Punic state again in just 100 days, and finally defeated the Punic state.

The Roman State did not have hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and subordinate ministers, and the Roman State built more than 200 warships in 100 days, and if Daqin was not to strictly prevent the spies of Jingren Hou, more than 1,000 warships would be built within 100 days.

Wei Yi didn't know that Zhao Zheng was recalling the battle of the Roman Punic, thinking that he was doubting his strategy, and he was excited when he saw the victory, and said loudly: "If Great Qin has 10,000 war boats, Jing will die next year!" ”

The demise of the state of Chu has already been seen, of course, this is only a very small number of people. Wei Yu's bold words made Zhao Zheng's heart fluctuate, and at this moment, he crawled out of the abyss of pain and struggle, and stood at the top of the world, Daqin was finally going to dominate the world.

The next day, he returned to Yongcheng at the invitation of the prime minister's hundred officials, and on the day he returned to Yongcheng, he issued a royal order to return to Xianyang. The imperial court then moved back to Xianyang, and most of the Shaofu craftsmen who had previously hidden in Huangshui, Weishui, and Jingshui also returned to Xianyang. Building a boat is the top priority of Daqin at the moment, in addition to building a boat, each county must also immediately train the fighters - a three-oared war boat needs 170 soldiers, and 10,000 war boats need 1.7 million soldiers.

Zhao Zheng's plan was so, but the day after he issued the king's order, Climendodes came to him.

"Your Majesty, you can't build a battleship like that, it's a completely wrong strategic ......" In the absence of no jealousy, it took a lot of effort for Climides to meet him, and he almost broke into the Qutai Palace. Needless to say, Zhao Zheng had no choice but to summon Fusu.

"Father, he," Fusu is fully qualified for the translation work, but he doesn't know how to be tactful yet.

"How?" Zhao Zheng looked at Fusu with a smile, and Zhao Gao on one side looked at Zhao Zheng with a smile.

"In other words, there are many mistakes in the construction of ships in my Great Qin." Fusu exhaled and tried to be tactful. "The Jing people's war boat does not need to turn the oars, it is extremely fast, I should not compete with the Jing people, but with the Jing people."

"Compete with the Jing people?" Zhao Zheng didn't know what this meant, he didn't understand what the power in the mouth of the son of General Bai Dizhou represented.

"Your Majesty should build five-oared warships instead of three-oared warships." Climenides said it bluntly. "The Greeks were fond of building three-oared warships, because a three-oared warship could save a lot of man-days compared to a five-oared warship, and it could save a lot of drachmas. Moreover, their oarsmen are well-trained and can always attack on the opposing flank.

Frankly, in the war with Chuni, we couldn't do that. It was always the Chuni warship that shaved off our oars and detoured our flanks. Therefore, His Majesty should not build three-oared warships, but five-oared and seven-oared warships, so as to gain speed and endurance that surpass the Chuni warships. We should also want the Romans to learn from the Romans and turn a naval battle into a land battle by attaching crows to battleships......"

The Battle of Daze was a victory in the eyes of Zhao Zheng and others, but in the eyes of Clemendodes, it was a complete defeat. Of the eight hundred and fifty-nine ships, seven hundred and seven were sunk, and another twenty-five were damaged to varying degrees, and only one hundred and twenty-seven were intact. However, these 127 warships were forced to retreat again and again by more than 60 Chuni people.

I don't know the exact number of Chuni warships that participated in the war, there are more than 400 and there are also more than 800 said, but it should be more than 400 after research. The number of battleships sunk by Chuni was about 350, but the own side sank 707 ships, and the loss was twice that of Chuni. If this is not a defeat, then what is?

Fortunately, Qinni was a powerful kingdom, and the king did not care about the death of 700 warships and 200,000 soldiers. Craftsmen are working day and night building new ships, and generals are recruiting and training new oarsmen. Clemenides' suggestion was to add to the icing on the cake and to formulate the most important strategy for the Chinny navy, which was in fact a copy of the strategy of the Romans:

Instead of competing with the enemy in oars and ship skills, you will have a race of speed and endurance with the enemy; Instead of a real naval battle with the enemy, you will fight a land battle on the surface with the enemy. So the battleship had to be five-oared or even seven-oar, so that it would have more speed, better stamina, and more hand-to-hand soldiers.

It's not scary to be hit. Such a battleship should welcome the enemy to come and ram. Because once it hits, the crow hanging will hook the enemy to death, and the soldiers on the battleship jump over the side of the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Intermittently, Fusu translated the words of Climenides one by one. Zhao Zheng did not hesitate after hearing this, and immediately summoned Wei Yi, Shaofu Grand Engineer Yan Wuyi and others to discuss.

"No, no, no." Before he could fully listen to Climeniedes' advice, he shook his head repeatedly. "The five-oared war boat has 9,000 man-days, and the three-oared war boat has 6,000 man-days, and two five-oared war boats can be built three three-oared war boats earlier, and there are many wishes."

"Many?" Zhao Zheng experienced this word and gradually comprehended.

"Yes, yes." Wei Yu said. "Jing people's hands are soldiers, soldiers are soldiers, what is the benefit of building a big warboat? I have a formation, the Jing people can't defeat me, I don't have a formation, when the two boats fight, the rest of the war boats quickly sink the two boats, just one for one. There are only 200,000 Jing people, less than 1,000 war boats, and our army is more than 1 million, and there are even more 10,000 war boats. 400,000 people died and Jing Guo died, why not? ”

In the war with the state of Chu, so far, the Qin army has killed more than 400,000 soldiers. The Qin State has never been afraid of attrition, and what the Qin army is afraid of is that it consumes the enemy but does not consume it. The water war successfully realized the attrition of the Chu State, which is the meaning of the war boat.

Wei Yi said that Zhao Zheng was moved, but Climenides, who was standing on one side, was dissatisfied, "If such a strategy is adopted, I am very worried about the loyalty of the soldiers to His Majesty the King." ”

"If a soldier is afraid of the law, why do you need anything else?" Wei Wei hugged and smiled at Clemonides' concern.

"But......" Climenides couldn't say what he wanted to say after listening to Fusu's relay. Qin Ni did not use mercenaries, he thought that Qin Ni was a city-state like Greece, but he was not a Greek city-state, so he didn't have to care about the opposition of soldiers or even generals.

"King, the battle to destroy the jing, the three-oared war boat is enough." Wei Yu continued. "Now that Shaofu has moved back to Xianyang, he is not afraid of the Jing people and Hou spies, but he can make unremitting efforts day and night. If the river is not frozen this winter, the wax sacrifice can destroy Qi Wei. ”
