Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 236
Everyone turned their expectant eyes to Qin Mu, not only expecting, but also disbelieving.None of the people here are talking on paper.Needless to say, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, is a master of the art of war. Even Wang Jian once led an army to directly attack the city, and Meng Yi also has a family history.

Even if Wang Jian and Meng Yi were not counted, even Li Si, a civil servant, was also responsible for the logistics of the army.Every time the army goes out, how many civilians are needed and how much food and grass are brought must go through his hands, and sometimes he even has to raise the money himself.

Not to mention Zu Long, he has to decide all battles, big and small.He must know the most about how many people and how much money is given to the generals each time.After so many years, even if you don't get involved in specific things, you can almost say that you are the clearest about the overall situation.

Even, each general's situation is different.Some people are used to saving, while others often waste.How much consumption each general of Daqin needs is stored in Zulong's mind, and it can be used at any time when needed.

They are the ones who are most aware of the depletion of military supplies, and because of this, they know how shocking Qin Mu's words are.

Fighting, what are you fighting for?Some people say that it is the army, the number of people, and training... But these people all know that the so-called war is about national power!
What is national strength?population and food!

Your country has a population of tens of millions, and you can build an army of 50 at most. No matter how many there are, young and middle-aged people will not be enough!Forcibly recruiting the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can only take advantage of the numbers, but in the end, the combat effectiveness of the army will be dragged down!

And another country, with a population of 2000 million, can easily build an army of 70!On the battlefield, the 20 is the difference between you.Moreover, the most frightening thing is that they have transferred 70 people, but in fact there is still room to spare. Not to mention the higher quality of the soldiers, domestic production has not been delayed at all.

Even the simplest, others can afford to lose more than you!If you lose your 50 yuan, you will be in a desperate situation. Will you be tied up?People's 70 people are gone, and they can quickly form an army of 30 people.This gap seems to be military strength, but it is actually a population gap.

Food is a more obvious gap.The farther the distance, the greater the gap in logistical supplies, and the difficulty of guarantee will increase geometrically.If there is not enough food, even the military salary is difficult to guarantee, and the soldiers will be hungry, who is willing to fight seriously?
If the food is barely enough to feed the soldiers, then they can only defend the soil, not attack the enemy.When you go out to conquer, you need to feed the peasants. If the peasants starve to death, who will send food to the soldiers?What's more, if the civilian husband is not full, will he steal the soldiers' rations on the way?Therefore, in this case, you can only be beaten passively.

In the process of Qin destroying the Six Kingdoms, at the later stage, most of the Six Kingdoms were in this situation.Even Daqin didn't have to worry about whether the war would fail at all, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all... It's very simple, even if I lose and suffer heavy losses, do you have the ability to send troops to fight me?
As for Daqin, it is a representative of sufficient food and grass.How much food and grass do they have?It can support Daqin's confrontation with Zhao Jun in Changping for several years!Zhao Guodu was about to be dragged down, so he had to change his generals to seek a decisive battle, and was finally killed by Bai Qi with 40 soldiers.

On the other hand, Daqin at that time, although he had some elbows, it was far from being injured, and he could continue to fight with a simple cultivation!At this level, how do you fight with others?

This is national strength. In war, all kinds of superficial things will eventually be converted into human heads and food. In the end, it depends on whether you can afford to lose compared to the opponent.

As for population, in the final analysis, it depends on how many people you can support. In the final analysis, it is still a question of food.

If Qin Mu can solve the food problem, it can be predicted that a large part of the art of war in this world will be rewritten!

It can be predicted that what is going on to attack the army, the second is to fight, and the second is to fight again, it is all bullshit!I have cannons, I have food and grass, I want to hit you, kneel down obediently!

Zu Long looked at Qin Mu, his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Mu'er, do you know what your words mean!"

"Father, I naturally know what I'm talking about!" Qin Mu looked very calm, as if he had expected the current situation long ago.

"I said that there are many solutions to this matter, and it is true!"

Li Si looked at Qin Mu, lost in thought.He almost blurted out just now, but he held back abruptly.He had no choice but to be slapped in the face by Qin Mu many times, and he was scared.

"Young master, how should we handle the matter of transporting grain and grass?"

Qin Mu looked calm and did not panic at all: "This matter is not difficult! Now the civilian husband is exhausted, simply because the things he needs to carry are too heavy, and he has no choice but to rely on his own strength to move forward. Come on, the consumption will naturally increase!"

"One person can carry at most one load of food, and two trips back and forth will consume at least half of it! Only half of the load is really given to the army!"

"If we can think of a way to either reduce the consumption of the civilians, or increase the burden on the civilians, or both, this matter can be solved for the most part!"

Hearing this, Meng Yi couldn't help it. The truth is obvious, and it's not like no one has thought about it.However, folk husbands are human beings after all, and human beings have limits. Those with great strength can hold a load of grain for a stone, while those with little strength cannot hold a single stone.

It's not that no one has tried to find ways to add burdens to civilian husbands. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if people are tired and stupid, and it also increases consumption.

"Little son, this road is blocked, blocked..."

Meng Yi shook his head and shook his head: "You need to know that even if you add it, it won't add much. For a war, it's a drop in the bucket!"

Qin Mu was not in a hurry or annoyed, but asked calmly: "Then how much food do you think a peasant can increase? How much is enough?"

Meng Yi thought about it carefully, kept counting with his right hand, and finally raised his head, full of confidence: "At least, one person must be able to transport more than [-] catties of grain, so that one's own consumption is less than the appropriate limit!"

Qin Mu smiled: "That's good! I have something that allows one person to transport more than a thousand catties of grain. Is it better than what you said?"

"Thousand catties! How is that possible?" Without anyone else speaking, Wang Jian had already screamed strangely.The strength of a thousand catties is considered to be a fierce general who is rarely seen in ten years in the army. How can a civilian husband have it?

Isn't the king of Xianwu Yingdang the strength of a thousand catties?In the end, he raised a tripod and crushed himself to death...

If Qin Mu really has a way to make ordinary civilians have the strength of a thousand catties, then it really shouldn't be used to transport grain and grass, and it should be used directly to train soldiers in the army. Who else can fight against the Great Qin army?
