Chapter 239: King Qin is a piece of shit when he becomes the empress
Actually, Qin Jun not only has the terrifying ability to see at night...
There is also a terrifying skill that is acquired through training, which is long-distance raiding.
Unlike the barbarians who rely on horses, they rely on their legs!
The most terrifying thing is that Li Jize used knowledge that was beyond his time, combined with the large number of horses and livestock captured from the barbarians, to invent a groundbreaking masterpiece...
Four-wheeled carriage!
It's very strange. Looking back at ancient history, we will find that why ancient people used two-wheeled carriages instead of four-wheeled carriages?
A four-wheeled carriage is more stable and saves more horsepower, which means it is faster and can also carry more things.
Why do people use two-wheeled carriages instead of four-wheeled carriages?
Were the ancients stupider? Didn't they think four wheels would be faster and easier?
the answer is negative!
The ancients had already discovered this problem. On the one hand, due to the poor quality of ancient roads, the four wheels would be very bumpy. On the other hand, the most fatal and critical problem was that the four wheels could not turn!
Anyone who has ever pulled a flatbed cart knows that turning with two wheels is easy, but with four wheels it's not so easy. Basically, you have to pull and tug to get the four-wheeled cart to turn.
This is both laborious and wastes tires.
But why did the Western four-wheeled carriage become mainstream?
Because they discovered the role of the axle and suspension! As long as the front wheel suspension is made into a large disc, the part where the shaft connects to the body of the cart can be combined with the front wheel suspension, so that when the horse turns, the front wheel suspension also follows the overall direction.
Besides that, the most important thing is the dependence on roads. Li Jize has already built a factory! Naturally, he has to make the cheating artifact, cement.
Although he did not have the kind of cement that exists in later generations, Li Jize knew the simplest "ancient Roman cement".
How to do it?
The oldest cement technology is to make lime by forging limestone, then make mortar with lime powder and sand, and add ground flint to increase the strength.
Its advantage is that after hardening, it can withstand water!
Li Jize paved these roads throughout Qingzhou, which was laborious and costly, but his ultimate goal was actually...
It’s still for transporting troops!
When the war breaks out, the troops are transported to the designated location without anyone noticing. Once the attack begins, the enemy will be caught off guard.
Because of the emergence of four-wheeled carriages and cement, the speed of troop transportation has been greatly accelerated, and what is the predictable thing?
These two epoch-making technologies appeared here. If Li Jize really ascended the throne to become emperor in the future, the ethnic minorities in remote areas would probably not dare to have any second thoughts.
In ancient times, when the dynasty was strong, foreign tribes submitted to it. But once it was weak, the emperor was far away and these foreign tribes would inevitably rebel.
The Shenzhou Dynasty simply could not impeach or suppress the rebels by force, and they would either be abandoned or the foreign race would eventually become stronger.
Just imagine that when the troops of the Shenzhou Dynasty are on the march day and night, if you have any second thoughts, the troops will come and beat you up at any time.
Who dares to have second thoughts?
The key to whether you can rule a remote border does not lie in whether your soldiers can fight or not, or whether your weapons are advanced first.
It just depends on whether you can build the roads and have the most efficient means of transportation.
To put it bluntly, the number of troops stationed here and the amount of food transported in that ancient environment was an exaggeration. In the early days, the dynasty had money and could still hold on, but in the later days, when it had no money, who would be willing to defend it?
Now, back to the point…
After seeing the situation here, the two girls both looked serious. They felt that a war might break out in the direction of Qingzhou, and they should inform the King of the North as soon as possible.
After all, this is a big deal, a very important deal.
Poor barbarian brothers, we are all in Qingzhou, and they are frantically placing all kinds of spies on the opposite side.
The results of it?
Not only did they not receive any news at all, the most outrageous thing was that when they did receive any news, it was from the rebels.
how?
The information from Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan was immediately conveyed to the rebel army's ruling area. They learned that Li Jize was gathering troops in Qingzhou and was likely about to launch a campaign to "unify Qingzhou."
Northern King Li Zhenbei immediately summoned his staff and generals to a meeting.
What should we do? What do you think of this information?
Some people say, "It's none of my business! Qingzhou is a long way away, and the area in between is ruled by barbarians. We can't get involved."
Some people suggested that they should just leak the information to the barbarians to make Li Jize's "sneak attack plan" fail.
Some people also said, why not take advantage of Li Jize's attack on Qingzhou, which is causing chaos among the barbarians, and add fuel to the fire?
Hmm? Actually, the last one is what people should say.
If Li Jize were to deceive or launch a surprise attack, the barbarians would surely be thrown into disarray. Why not seize this opportunity and attack together? There's meat for everyone to eat together!
Okay! They decided the content of the meeting. If Li Jize attacked Qingzhou, the barbarians would definitely be disrupted, thus affecting the main force of the barbarians.
As soon as the main force of the barbarians leaves, we will take the opportunity to attack, and the plan to divide the territory will be decided.
What Li Zhenbei didn't know was that there was a traitor among his men. The news quickly reached the south and the barbarians.
Yes! That's right, each party is planting troops and intelligence personnel in each other's territory.
The rebels were no exception! Some were willing to be "traitors to Qi," while others considered themselves to be "loyal" to the great Qi.
They each passed on information back to the different forces they represented.
result……
Damn it, Li Jize's intelligence was strictly guarded, but somehow it was leaked through the rebels.
All of a sudden, not only the barbarians knew that Li Jize had secretly assembled a large number of troops and began to prepare to launch the "Qingzhou Unification War."
Even the South knows about it.
Southern Court, Empress!
The intelligence quickly came back, and the Empress was horrified. So soon? Li Jize was going to attack again?
Good! Good! You are indeed my King of Qin, the Grand Marshal of the Armies of Heaven.
Even though he had lost the entire north, he dared to launch the Qingzhou Campaign and successfully landed from the sea and seized half of the land.
Now he did not sit back and enjoy his past achievements, but once again gathered his men and prepared for another battle.
No matter what, since he represents the Great Qi, I naturally have to help cooperate with him and issue an imperial decree to praise him.
Ah this...
The empress's speech in the court deceived all the ministers below. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
After a long pause, Ruan Daying cautiously warned, "Your Majesty! Since Li Jize has pledged his loyalty to the court and accepted the position of Grand Marshal of the Armies of Great Qi, why... why is he mobilizing troops without informing the court?"
This is already very vague and euphemistic.
The unpleasant words are...
Li Jize treats you like shit! He didn't even notify you before mobilizing troops. We only found out through intelligence from the rebels.
What are you so complacent about?
