"You say they're prisoners of war?"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhe understood, it turned out that those who were building the straight road were prisoners of war captured during the period of destroying the Six Kingdoms, no wonder they saw that the Qin army would show hostility openly and secretly, and they felt afraid when the Qin army showed military might.

But he didn't understand it very well, Qin successively destroyed Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi, it took a total of ten years, and the youngest of those prisoners of war was about seventeen, and the oldest was already more than sixty, and now is a few years after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms?

On the way, he walked intermittently for about a month and a half, and he made a silent calculation in his heart, and estimated that he had walked more than 300 kilometers. The Qianshou labor on the way is not serious, judging from the clothes and the look on his face, it seems that life is not bad?

Combined with everything he saw on the road, the work and service of the head of Qian, there was no chaos at all.

Of course, Lu Zhe's starting point was in the Qin region, and he had not gone through the newly conquered areas, and the places and people he saw were all old people of Great Qin, so he couldn't understand the situation in other places.

He recalled the hostility of those who built the straight road, and even a fool understood that the remnants of the Six Nations were only conquered by the country, but in his heart he had not yet yielded.

Lu Zhe, who didn't know much about history, thought about it for a long time and didn't understand a little bit, why would the First Emperor destroy the Six Kingdoms, ignoring the instability of the people in the new territory, and immediately mobilized troops to the north and south.

Daqin is not only mobilizing troops at this time, but also seems to be building several straight roads at the same time?

It's not that the top of the country can't understand why the ruling class makes these decisions, but since things happen, there must be reasons for them. The only question is, why would such a thing that consumes national strength appear in the wise center that can destroy the Six Kingdoms?

"Meng Tian's northern attack on the Xiongnu seems to have been in 221 BC?" (Not a clerical error, Meng Tian's northern attack on the Xiongnu was 214 BC)

At present, Great Qin is mobilizing troops to the north, of course, it is only a transfer, and it is impossible to determine the date based on the time when the mobilization of troops begins.

The state of Qin was established in 857 BC, and when Ying Zheng became the king of Qin, it was 246 BC, and he was proclaimed emperor in 221 BC, so now is the first few years after Ying Zheng became emperor?

Thinking of this, a horn sounded in Lu Zhe's ears, and he was slightly stunned. Cause? If you don't count watching TV (movies), it was the first time he had heard such a long, long voice, which seemed to hide hundreds of years of desolation.

This barracks built next to the straight road under construction is not as ornate as in the film and television works, and it can be said that you can't see anything bright at all.

The entire irregular line of the camp was enclosed with wooden stakes, and in order to prevent a possible enemy from coming to raid, several angular protrusions were set up with towering watchtowers, and the tents were also separated from the fence about 150 meters, and there were many tents inside.

Lu Zhe found that a neatly arranged tent can accommodate five people, that is, one Wu is a tent, and then a hundred people are a base point, forming a mouth. Then, the five hundred people formed a pattern of their own, and the tent where they were stationed became a small angular shape. There were ten such small camps, all of which surrounded the city in an oval formation to guard the middle. He couldn't look at the center, but it must have been the Chinese army, that is, the tent where the general lived.

The infantry of the Qin army is divided into six levels, namely: five people in the army, and one army commander; The second army is what, and the chief is set up; Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief; Two tuns are hundreds, and one hundred generals are set up; five hundred, five hundred masters; a thousand, two or five hundred lords. Among them, the "two or five hundred masters" are also called "thousand people", and they are already middle-level officers.

Oh...... He just learned that the supreme commander of his own army was a "thousand people".

The structure of the inside of the tent is not complicated, the straw mats on the ground, the gray quilt, and the barbs hanging on the top beams are all materials prepared by the army.

The tents in film and television works always have a row of standings with weapons, but Lu Zhe didn't see anything like it at all, after all, the army would not waste resources to build that kind of dispensable thing.

In his opinion, the so-called whole Ge is not unusual, because the soldiers will always put their weapons close enough, and the package brought when they are recruited also needs to be protected at all times, so Changge will usually press it with a package, and then use the package as a pillow.

Lu Zhe walked out of the tent, and everywhere he could see was the soldiers lining up.

The soldiers were not moving in the same direction, and because of the leather bags hanging from their waists, they could hear the sound of wooden crashing and grinding as they walked.

Lu Zhe also discovered that the soldiers of the Qin army would not untie the leather bags on their waists unless necessary. He also has such a leather bag, which contains a dining utensil, and a bamboo pipe prepared by an uncle. He didn't know what the bamboo pipe was used for, but it was obviously not used to hold water. There is a special skin for the water.

Since ancient times, the establishment of military camps has been a kind of learning, and the higher the military ability, the more simple and simple the military camp established by the commander. The so-called simplicity is the walkway set up between the tents, and the simplicity does not mean the character but the solidity of the walkway.

The soldiers did not walk on the tent-lined road, they walked on the specially marked walkway, and if the camp stood for a long time, the road would naturally become strong as they walked.

The strength of the roads in the barracks was a very important thing in the eyes of the famous generals, and if there was a sudden rainy weather during the battle, the muddy roads would delay the time to assemble troops, and the speed of the army build-up during the battle could often determine success or failure.

This walk took only a few dozen minutes, and Lu Zhe had a good sense of direction, and he didn't quite understand what he was going to do from the military camp in the east to the south. It wasn't until he smelled the smell of food from a distance that he saw the soldiers queuing up to receive food, and there were many food stalls next to them, which made him feel a little surprised.

All the way, he had been eating food that he had brought or bought in the county, and he thought that Daqin would not ration rations at all.

When it was Lu Zhe's turn, the guy seemed to pause?

The man glanced at Lu Zhe's armor and the long sword at his waist, opened another large vat, and showed a smile The large spoon "snapped", and the yellow rice grains occupied the wooden bowl.

Lu Zhe habitually smiled, but in his heart he wondered if the man had made a mistake, the other soldiers received food with yellow and black beans, how could he receive millet rice (a type of rice)?

The man saw Lu Zhe smile again, and he pointed to the leather bag on someone's waist.

Lu Zhe immediately untied the leather bag and took it out, but he didn't know what to do at all, and looked at the guy in confusion.

"Soup!"

Lu Zhe didn't know why......

The man pointed to the bamboo pipe.

"Oh!"

It was a bowl of soup with oil flowers and meaty aroma, not much meat, and most of it was some yellow leaves. However, it smells great!

After receiving it, Lu Zhe stepped aside and found that there was a complete difference in the distribution of rations by the husband. Ordinary soldiers were only given bean rice and a bowl of soup with only yellow cabbage leaves, and the officers were divided into ranks, and some officers not only had millet rice, broth, and even one or three pieces of pasta (steamed buns and other foods). Obviously, each rank of the twentieth rank of Qin has its own treatment.

The sergeant looked at the officer's food, his eyes full of envy, for the first time he had experienced the hierarchy so deeply. If you want to change your status and treatment, you must make meritorious service, and meritorious service means that you need to kill more enemies to obtain military meritorious titles, and such an army's desire to fight can be imagined.

He looked at the stalls next to him, and when he got closer, he realized that they were not rations for the army at all, but for the soldiers who had been allowed to accompany the army, and they were a boon to the soldiers who wanted to improve their food.

There are not many types of food on the stalls, most of them are steamed noodles, especially boiled meat pieces, and from time to time people go up to follow the military traders to bargain, and then take out knife coins to buy food.

Lu Zhe stood in place and watched for a long time, and finally had to sigh: "So that's ......"
