Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 147 There is no country on this planet that can withstand Daqin's warships!
"In addition, at the beginning, Prime Minister Qin proposed to dismantle all the warships on which the father and emperor sailed to sea, and refit them into sea ships with stronger wind resistance."

"Nowadays, many warships are only used for fishing at sea, so it's too small for a big ship."

"If old general Wang Ben leads his troops to attack the rear of Fulou Kingdom, Yierchen doesn't need to travel long distances to go overland, and he can directly attack from a warship."

"At that time, the supplies of food and grass were placed on the boat, and there were fish to replenish, so the soldiers could concentrate on fighting. The long coastline behind Fulou Kingdom, old general Wang Ben can attack wherever he wants."

"It can even enter inland rivers and attack deep within the territory of Fulou Kingdom. Facing warships on the water, Fulou Kingdom has no power to parry..."

Fusu said more and more smoothly, and added another strategy.

Hearing that Danfeng's eyes sparkled, Yingzheng forgot to gnaw on the sugar cane, and only waited for Fusu to finish speaking before he came back to his senses and clapped his hands in praise: "Good! Great kindness! My son really has a brilliant plan~!"

And Zhu Wenwu, even more so, looked at Fusu in disbelief. Such a different way of fighting is really amazing.

Especially the generals, they were so excited that they even forgot to spit out the bagasse in their mouths, chewed it and swallowed it, and when they reacted, they closed their throats, coughed desperately and vomited...

Not to mention them, even Qin Mo was amazed, isn't this the 'landing battle' of later generations?

The so-called landing battle seems to be just a tactical concept, which seems to be very common.

But this has to take into account the limitations of the times, just like the stirrup, it is also very simple in the eyes of later generations, so simple that people who don't understand it just think it is a necessary thing for riding a horse.

But in fact, those two small stirrup rings were discovered by the ancients after many years, and their appearance also changed the form of war, and even changed the world structure for 2000 years.

The landing battle is the same!

As far as Daqin's shipbuilding technology is concerned, this tactic is an unsolvable tactic no matter which coastal area is used.

On this planet today, there is no country that can withstand the warships of Daqin!
"Your Excellency..."

Ying Zheng looked at the amazed civil servants, then at the military officers who were crazily coughing and vomiting, and finally looked at Qin Mo who was full of surprise, and asked, "What is the prince's plan? Can you pick up the missing pieces?"

All the civil servants immediately raised their hands together: "It's really a good strategy to think carefully~!"

The military officers stopped clapping their throats and said excitedly, "Ahem..."

Qin Mo spoke concisely, and said two words from his mouth: "Very good."

Yingzheng nodded, looked at Fusu appreciatively, and said: "Then according to my son's plan, I will send a fast horse back to Tieshan later, and order Wang Ben to attack the rear of Fulou Kingdom with warships!"

Yingzheng finalized a strategy, pondered for a while and said, "Now the land of Baiyue has been cut off by my Great Qin."

"Next, should we destroy Fulou and Minyue first... or Yangyu and Xiou first... Do you have any plans in mind?"

"Don't be humble, speak freely!"

Zhu Wenwu looked at each other in blank dismay, and then he was no longer modest. Li Si took the lead and said: "From the perspective of the terrain, it is undoubtedly the most suitable to eat Fulou and Fujian and Yue first."

Feng Jie didn't expect to be robbed by Li Si, and immediately followed up with suggestions: "Just like what your majesty said before, take advantage of the fact that Fulou Kingdom has not recovered from the attack of the old clans of the six kingdoms, and swallow it in one fell swoop. , lest he slow down and prepare his armies later."

"Taking the Fulou Kingdom, and then eating the lingering Minyue Kingdom, from south of Chu to the east to the coastline, a whole will be formed."

"With such a stable rear, it won't be too late to slowly concoct the land of South Vietnam and the forces of the Xiang family..."

After the Xiang family's nephews and uncles reduced their forces, it was the consensus of all present that Fulou Kingdom should not be slowed down, and there was actually nothing to discuss.

Seeing that everyone reached an agreement, Ying Zheng stopped wasting words on this matter, and instead said: "Let's discuss how to attack it."

"Father..."

Before Yingzheng finished speaking, Fusu stood up and rushed ahead of all the civil and military officials, saying, "I heard that the king of Fulou is not as popular as the king of Panyu."

"When the king of Panyu faced national ruin and family ruin, he still knew how to restrain his tyrannical and greedy nature and lead his people to the national calamity."

"But King Fulou... the soldiers and civilians are fighting with the armies of the Six Nations, but he is still arrogant and lustful in the rear, and he doesn't care about the danger of the country's subjugation."

"The nobles and gentry also followed suit, and in the name of raising food and grass for the army, they wantonly searched for the people's fat and anointment to indulge in pleasure."

"Back then, the Fulou Kingdom dared to attack our Great Qin supply ship without asking about the situation. It was the King Fulou and the nobles who were driven by greed, and they were hopeless."

"Since this is the case, I thought that I should send casual visitors, either disguised as businessmen, to the towns of Fulou Kingdom, or directly as angel messengers, to the tribes under the rule of Fulou Kingdom, and instigated the Yue people of Fulou to follow the example of the Yue people of Panyu. The people rebelled against the imperial court of Fulou."

"If the Yue people of Fulou Kingdom are willing to follow the example of Jing Cong, then help them with food, grass and armor, so that they can form a rebellious force within the territory of Fulou Kingdom."

"Even if you don't want to follow suit, your hearts will inevitably be unstable."

"At that time, you can send two armies, one from the south of Chu to the sea, and the other from the sea to the south of Chu by warship, attacking the country of Fulou from both sides... and then in the name of the gods, recruit the Yue people of the country of Fulou, then It's a matter of course!"

In the original historical records, Yingzheng dispatched 50 troops, with Tu Sui as the main general, and sent troops to the south to conquer Baiyue.

After the war started, the southeast countries and major tribes of Baiyue, that is, the upper part of the Great 'Pie', Minyue, Fulou, and even Panyu, almost did not form effective resistance, and were occupied by the Great Qin.

Among them, Minyue did not form an effective resistance because the Great Qin had already occupied most of the country, and the remaining people and land had no room for strategic maneuvering, so it was reasonable to be wiped out.

However, the failure of the Fulou Kingdom to form an effective resistance is mostly due to the fact that the monarch and the ruling class have long been corrupted and lost the hearts of the people. After being flattened by a mighty army, they can only be submerged in the long river of history.

Now, with Fusu's plan to cut flesh with soft knives, coupled with the example of the Yue people in Panyu, it will probably be easier to destroy Fulou country!
"What do you think?"

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo and Zhu Wenwu and asked.

Qin Mo and Zhu Wenwu found out that today's Fusu is really smart and full of tricks, after each of them touched for a while, they felt that it was even feasible, so they all replied with one word: "Good!"

Yingzheng appreciated Fusu more and more, and said happily: "Then follow my son's policy, write a detailed charter later, show it to my father, and let Zhu Qing fill in the gaps for you."

"I will entrust you with full power to take responsibility for the destruction of the Lou Kingdom and the Minyue Kingdom!"

Fu Su raised his hand: "Here."

……

A small court meeting lasted until the evening. Ying Zheng set up a simple meal, ate with everyone, and then stayed in the courtyard to rest.

However, Qin Mo was left in the master bedroom by Ying Zheng, and the monarch and his ministers slept together.

crunch--

Ying Zheng seemed to be really addicted to eating sugar cane, he was still chewing like a hamster while lying on the couch, chatting with Qin Mo before going to bed.

"Aiqing, what did you teach Fusu in private? Why is he so tricky today?"

"Crackling...Your Majesty is thinking too much. What can I teach the Crown Prince with this little ability? Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince has led the army twice independently, and his mind has been opened after being honed."

"Aiqing, don't lie to me. Aiqing was the one who initiated the transformation of the ships. Afterwards, I and all the civil and military forces forgot about it. They only used them as fishing boats. Why did Fusu think of those ships? And tell the method of use, so that Aiqing is also speechless?"

"Uh……"

Qin Mo was really surprised when Ying Zheng said this.

When he proposed to transform those warships, it was indeed not just for the convenience of fishing at sea.

It is for one day, along the long coastline, to attack the South Vietnamese countries with many rivers, and even Southeast Asia.

However, he did not mention these big schemes. If it is said that Fusu relied on his own understanding and thought of going with Qin Mo... it is also possible...

Well, it's just possible, or someone else taught it, such as Qin Mo.

That's why Ying Zheng asked this question!
Qin Mo chewed the bagasse and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Then Fan Zeng came down to earn the city with the crown prince. After the army arrived today, the crown prince didn't seem to hand over Fan Zeng to the captive camp."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that wise old rebel who is making suggestions for Fusu?"

Qin Mo hesitated, "Maybe..."

Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Gao, who was waiting outside, and said, "Go and ask the imperial guard officers who came to Zhecheng with the prince a few days ago, after Fan Zeng helped the prince earn the city, has he still had contact with the prince recently?"

"Here!"

Zhao Gaoru was pardoned, and he slipped out of the bedroom.

Finally, I no longer have to endure the sour smell of the monarch and his ministers...

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Gao quickly returned, and said to the two monarchs and ministers who had already gnawed on the sugarcane husks all over the ground, "I want to report to your Majesty, that Fan Zeng rebel recently helped His Highness the Crown Prince with the affairs of Zhecheng, and the two are almost inseparable." !"

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Sure enough."

Qin Mo was also hesitant: "Fan Zeng is the best at conspiring, if he can assist the prince, it will be a great help."

Ying Zheng was noncommittal, Chunyu Yue and Qin Mo were the assistant ministers he had chosen for Fusu, he didn't understand Fan Zeng, and he didn't feel relieved: "Don't learn evil ways... Tomorrow send a fast horse back to Tieshan, Invite Chunyu Yue to come here, let him relinquish his duties of teaching Yue people's children, and come here to take good care of his disciples!"

"Here."

Zhao Gaoyi agreed.

Ying Zheng let go of one worry, and felt sleepy. He put the half-eaten sugar cane on the side of the couch, and quickly fell asleep.

When Qin Mo heard his snoring, he immediately got off the bed as if he had been pardoned, picked up his armor and ran out the door, like a scumbag after a good time.

When passing by the outer room, he said in a low voice to Zhao Gaogao with a full face of admiration: "Tomorrow, let Old Man Xia come to show His Majesty's feet, the humidity in the south is too heavy... Well, Zhao Fuling has worked hard~!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the room and quickly disappeared into the night.

"???"

Zhao Gao looked at his back, his eyes widened.

What an honor it is to sleep with His Majesty, yet you despise His Majesty's foot smell?
If the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this, they would probably set themselves on fire on the spot and be burned by the fire of jealousy!

……

……

The next day, Qin Mo went out of the city and returned to the military camp. He gave the local Yue native Liang Jiazi a day off so that they could reunite with their families.

Then, let Qin Bing go to the sugarcane field outside the city, find Yue people to buy half an acre of sugarcane, and carry it to the guard firehead army, looking for someone who knows how to make caramel, and try to make white sugar from sugarcane.

As for why they didn't go to Yueren who grow sugarcane locally, the reason is very simple. The best way for them to process sugarcane is to squeeze out sugarcane juice for the nobles to drink...

"General, do you want to make sugar cane into caramel?"

The Hundred Generals of the Imperial Fire Army helped Qin Mo find three fire soldiers who could make caramel, and asked curiously.

"Well, I want to make sucrose, sucrose as white as snow."

Qin Mo explained to the hundred generals of the Huotou army, then looked at the three Huotou soldiers and asked, "Can it be done?"

The three fire soldiers stared at each other with wide eyes, and after a long silence, the 40-year-old soldier in the lead bowed his hands and said: "The method of making caramel is to use millet and other grains, add malt to ferment to produce a sweet taste, and then After filtering the fermented sweet juice, it can be boiled into a thick shape, or it can be dried into lumps, depending on whether you like soft candy or hard candy, this is maltose."

"But caramel is not pure white. Different grains are used, and the color is also different. There are realgar yellow and black red."

"However, sugarcane juice itself is sweet and translucent. After squeezing the juice and boiling it, it should... maybe... I wonder if I can get the Baixue sucrose that the general wants?"

Obviously, he said such a big deal because he didn't dare to guarantee that he could produce snow-white sucrose.

Qin Mo waved his hands, and said casually: "You gentlemen are looking at the trial production. If you can make it, I will ask your majesty for credit for you. If there is less, you will be rewarded, and if you are more, you will be rewarded. It is possible..."

call--

Before Qin Mo could finish his sentence, the three fire fighters rushed towards the sugarcane like a gust of wind.

Even the hundred generals of the Huotou army were unwilling to be left behind, and together with three subordinates, they carried a bundle of sugar cane to peel.

They don't understand why Sugar can get a title, but as long as it can get a title, it doesn't matter why...

Then, the peeled sugar cane was chopped into small sections by the four people, wrapped in clean linen, and several large wooden hammers were found to beat the sugar cane juice in turn.

Qin Mo looked at the sugarcane juice they hammered out, and found that it was not as clear as imagined, especially after it accumulated more and more, it looked yellow and foggy, like something that had been urinated after not drinking water for two days after getting angry. East……

After the four people beat out a small half pot of sugarcane juice, they immediately started to boil, stirring while boiling, so that the water vapor evaporated as soon as possible and became sticky!
However, as the sugarcane juice became more and more viscous, the color became more and more yellow, and even began to turn black, far from the expected white sugar.

The faces of the four people who were stirring the fire became more and more ugly, as if they saw that they could get the title at their fingertips, and they were flying farther and farther away from themselves!

Qin Mo took out a little with a small spoon, and fanned it to make it cool. Some things have different colors or properties in different states.

The syrup in the spoon cooled quickly, and the color did change, but instead of turning white, it became darker...

Taste it, it smells like brown sugar!

"No, is there an impurity?"

Qin Mo muttered, then turned to the hundred generals of the Huotou army next to him and said, "Find a big funnel, use fine woven linen, and spread a layer inside."

"Then, get some charcoal and crush it, spread it on the fine woven linen cloth, spread it two or three fingers thick... put another layer of fine woven linen cloth on the charcoal... and then spread fine sand three fingers thick, if there is no fine sand, clean the soil That's fine too...cover it with fine spun linen, and put half a bucket of clean pebbles on it at the end, pebbles are the best..."

"Also, get some crushed charcoal by yourself!"

He also has a big brain hole, and wants to use the method of filtering water in the wild to filter the impurities in sugarcane juice.

"Here!"

Hundreds of Huotou army generals bowed their hands to take orders, and quickly led a Huotou army to work.

The remaining two fire leaders continued to burn and stir.

Qin Mo turned around and ordered his soldiers, "Get half a pot of clean boiling water."

"Here."

The soldiers took orders and left.

"Hey, gentleman, what are you doing here?"

Just as the soldiers left, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Mo.

Qin Mo looked back and found that it was Lu Zhi wearing a white coat, leading a few female nurses from the Yue people, and carrying a wild boar that he got from no one knew where, it seemed that he wanted the guards to cook it for him.

Well, the craftsmanship of the Imperial Guard Huotou Army is definitely better than that of the half-baked Yueren Huotou Army!

"It turned out to be caramel, no wonder it's so sweet."

Lu Zhi looked at the sticky sugarcane juice in the pot, and couldn't help being surprised.

Qin Mo fed her the remaining sucrose with a small spoon: "It's not caramel, it's sucrose."

When Lv Zhi sucrose entered the mouth, he narrowed his beautiful eyes happily, and then he ignored the wild wild boar, and let the Yue woman who was with him to cook it, while he watched eagerly by the side of the pot.

When we arrived outside Zhe City yesterday, each member of the army caught a piece of sugar cane, which was actually a taste of the sugar cane, and it was not enough to eat!
Moreover, the sweetness of sugarcane is not as sweet as pure sugar after boiling. It is really not a taste enjoyment that people in this era can refuse!

"General, is there boiling water?"

At this time, the soldiers came back with a pot of hot water.

Qin Mo looked at the sucrose in the pot. As the water vapor evaporated, it had changed from sticky to wet sand.

If you continue to boil it, it will really be like brown sugar!

Maybe it's brown sugar!

So he said: "Wait until the sugar in the pot boils dry, then pour water into it."

As he said that, he found a jar from the stove, dug a few tablespoons into it, handed it to Lu Zhi and said: "You save the water to drink, this stuff is very good for the body, nourishing qi and blood, especially... in the next month Drink when it's time!"

Lu Zhiqiao blushed, took the jar and asked curiously: "What the hell is a gentleman doing? Isn't it making sugar?"

Qin Mo nodded and shook his head again: "It's making sugar, but it's just a kind of snow-white sugar."

Lu Zhi looked at the black sugar in the pot, and couldn't help being speechless. This sugar is obviously black, so can it turn into white?
"Qin Xiang, it's no wonder I can't find you, so I cook delicious food here."

When Lu Zhi was puzzled, Fu Su's voice suddenly sounded from a distance, and he said rather angrily.

Qin Mo turned his head and looked, not only Fusu, but also the old Fan Zeng with fluttering white beard who was leaning on a dragon-headed crutch.

This fairy-like appearance is much more stylish than when he was captured that day!
