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

Chapter 218 I will send troops to destroy the country, destroy the family, plunder the wealth and enslave the people!
The princes and princesses behind Yingzheng, as well as the civil and military officials, were also speechless and at a loss.

The envoys of the Western countries were even more confused, and murmured as stunned as Ying Zheng: "This... is this the end?"

Well, that's right, it's over!
The envoy of Daxia Kingdom and the Daxia warrior who hit the first spear were lying on the ground, sleeping soundly like a baby.

There is a round red mark on the forehead.

It was left behind by Qin Mo's two thrusts.

It was very accurate and fierce, so the two of them passed out directly!

The people of Daqin who were on the sidelines, as well as Hu merchants from various countries, hadn't even figured out what happened.

They only saw Qin Mo in silver armor and a barbarian envoy coming down from the general platform.

Then, the Hu envoy called his companions, took a spear, and went forward to attack Qin Mo side by side.

And Qin Mo also took the spear, and went up to meet the male with one against two, knocked the spears of the two barbarians away with two slaps, and knocked down the two barbarians twice.

Then, he threw the spear to the guards, and he returned to the stage...

All this happened extremely quickly, within a few breaths of time, and even many people watching the ceremony, because the contest was over and the rewarding ceremony was over, they were distracted chatting and did not see this scene at all.

When they found that the people around them were all looking at the school grounds, they followed suit, and found that outside the warning range of the general platform, there were two more barbarians, lying on their backs...

"What's the matter?"

"Why lie down on the school field and feel sleepy?"

"The hozen is too careless!"

The people who don't know the situation are full of doubts and complaints.

"The drowsiness of the fart is caused by being poked by our Prime Minister Daqin, one person and one spear~!"

"Qin Xiang used one against two, and among them was the barbarian warrior who won the first place in the spear attack, and it was settled after two strokes."

"The two barbarians don't even have the strength to fight back, and they lie face to face!"

The people who witnessed the whole process were too busy to help explain.

……

On the stage, Qin Mo greeted Xia Wuqiu: "Old Xia, don't just stand still, see if you can wake him up, if you can't wake him up, then carry him down for treatment."

Xia Wuju came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and quickly walked down to the general platform to check.

He always kept the medicine box close to him, took out two silver needles, and pierced the ears of the sleeping envoy of Da Xia Kingdom and the Da Xia warrior.

When the two woke up slowly, they pulled out the silver needles and quickly bandaged their bloody tiger's mouth.

Daxia's envoy thanked him dazedly, got up dazedly and walked towards the platform, but his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he staggered after taking two steps, staggering and almost unable to stand still.

"Your Majesty's brain has been shaken, and it will be fine after a period of cultivation."

Xia Wuqiu followed him back to the general platform, pointed to his forehead that resembled the Antarctic fairy, and explained.

The envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom reached out his hand to touch the red and swollen bump on his forehead, and immediately grinned in pain.

When he returned to the general platform, he saw the envoys from the western countries looking at him with resentment, and some even gritted their teeth.

You said that you are a blind comparison, you have no skills and you like to find trouble, do you owe it?

You were the one who took part in the military parade before, but now you are putting everyone on a big gamble. It doesn't matter if you lose this time, I will walk back home empty-handed later.

Moreover, the national tax revenue will also be reduced by more than half. How can I explain to the king (subjects) when I go back?

Is it necessary to conceal and not report, and continue to collect taxes from Daqin merchants?

The envoys of the western countries were thinking like this, but they heard Qin Mo ask the unlucky envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom, "Did you admit defeat?"

The envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom glanced at Qin Mo, raised his trembling hands bound into pig's trotters, and said angrily, "I lost."

Qin Mo nodded in satisfaction, and said to Old Wang Wan next to him: "Tomorrow, I will send a fast horse to tell the world that our merchants from the Great Qin Dynasty will be exempted from commercial taxes when they go to the western countries to do business."

"If there is a western country that still dares to collect taxes from our great Qin merchants, just pay them first, and when you return to Guanzhong and report to the Neishi Palace, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to send troops to ask for it!"

Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded his head and said: "I will send troops to subjugate the country, destroy the family, plunder the wealth, and enslave the people... Make them pay back ten thousand times!"

The envoys of the western countries felt their scalps tingle when they heard this. It turns out that the ultimate goal of the bet is waiting here.

Daring to continue to collect taxes from Daqin merchants is giving Daqin an excuse to annex them.

And with the feudal aristocrats in their country, they will definitely not obey the king's order and let go of the opportunity to collect taxes from the merchants of the Great Qin Dynasty.

So, it's a given.

It just depends on when Daqin freed up his hand and annexed them in a legitimate way!
The more the envoys of the western countries thought about it, the more terrified they became, and the more annoyed the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom who were just looking for trouble.

What a damn guy!

We are sandwiched between Daqin and Daxia. After we are annexed, will Jieshi Daxia be better off?

The envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom can naturally sense the resentment in their eyes, but he is also worried at this moment, how to return to the country to explain, how can he have the time to pay attention to this group of incompetent and scheming guys.

Still the same sentence, I have a hard fist in Daxia, you wait for a bunch of little Karami, if they are qualified to be dragged into the water, let's go for fun, dare to stare?

Resentment?
Dissatisfied?

They're all holding back!

Let's wait until Nai Weng thinks of a way to renege on his debts and not keep his bet, otherwise he really can't explain it when he returns to China...

……

After the big martial arts competition, the rest are some entertainment programs, such as military drills, new Nuo opera, Nuo dance for entertaining gods, music songs and so on!
Among them, military drills are more hardcore.

call out--
bang--
After a signal bomb blasted off, the lieutenant army who had been resting on the side of the field during the competition suddenly stood up and regrouped.

Then, all the phalanxes cooperated to perform offensive and defensive defenses under the drum and flag orders.

In addition to the overwhelming momentum, it also looks fancy, which is very ornamental.

But no one dares to underestimate the bells and whistles. This is the key to victory on the cold weapon battlefield. The ability to quickly complete the formation change or the mobilization of troops according to the drums and flags is also an intuitive expression of whether a cold weapon army is elite or not.

Even on the battlefield of hot weapons, the speed of military orders and troop mobilization is the key to the decisive victory of the battle.

However, today's military drill is destined to be different...

When the drill reached the enemy, Daqin's firearms troops showed their fangs in front of the world for the first time, and the envoys of all countries were fortunate to be witnesses.

Boom...boom...

Boom...boom...

Boom, boom, boom...

Rhythmic urging drums, one section rushes past the other.

The rocket soldiers are in a group of five, with two carrying the launcher and three carrying the rockets. They quickly set up in front of the formation and complete the launch preparations.

The ballista soldiers were in groups, one group pushed the ballista, and the other carried large thunderbolts, forming an array behind the rocket soldiers.

Then came the artillery, which was organized in the same way as the rocket soldiers, and they were also in groups of five, with two carrying the launcher and three carrying the gunpowder pack, arrayed behind the ballista soldiers.

After the artillerymen came the crossbowmen.

After the crossbowmen came the archers.

The long-range strike forces lined up one by one...

On the general platform, the envoys of various countries held binoculars and stared at rockets, thunderbolts and heartless cannons with wide eyes.

They thought that today they would not have the chance to see the legendary Daqin Thunderbolt and Thunderfire showing their power.

But now, the military exercise has given them a surprise, so naturally they have to see it clearly!

Boom-! ! !
The drummer finally hit a heavy note, and the thunderous battle drums stopped abruptly.

It's over!
Suddenly, the school grounds fell into silence!

But immediately, the [-] Lieutenant Army roared like thunder: "Wind! Wind! Strong wind~!!!"

As soon as the roar fell, the corporal commander of the rocket soldiers immediately pulled out a thin rope from the butt of the rocket and pulled it out suddenly.

呵呵味——

Light smoke rose from the butts of the rockets lined up in front of the formation.

Yes, pull fuzes!

The students of Baigong in the academy produced matches, which solved the problem of the source of fire, allowing the thunderbolt to be quickly ignited and used in an emergency combat situation.

After being inspired by matches, the master craftsmen of the Shaofu Armament Supervisor further used the characteristics of phosphorus fire to produce a pull-type fuze with a simple process.

The two families fought each other desperately, and now they seem to be in a bad shape...

woohoo-

The light smoke in the buttocks of the rockets suddenly turned into a raging smoke and flames.

Under the action of the huge thrust, the rocket flew along the trajectory of the launcher, roaring and flying obliquely into the sky, leaving trails of thick smoke trails.

The three vertically inclined tail fins on the buttocks of the rocket make it rotate slowly during flight. The principle is similar to the effect of rifling, so the flight trajectory is extremely stable.

In an instant, it flew in a parabola from the front of the army formation to the other side of the university field!
Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff...

One after another, the pointed rockets, after exhausting their thrust kinetic energy, stabbed obliquely on the ground, stirring up dust and dust all over the sky.

As I said before, the campus is very large, and the [-] lieutenant troops who are under review only occupy one side.

At this time, the [-] Lieutenant Army performed offensive and defensive preparations, and formed a formation that was sparse and dense to meet the enemy, so it occupied a much larger area than the simple parade formation.

But... Even so, the rockets flew from the front of the army formation all the way to the edge of the opposite school field, which was scary enough.

This range is probably five or six miles away!
All the envoys from various countries on the stage took a breath of cold air.

Including the princes and princesses of Daqin, as well as many civil servants and military generals who have never seen rockets, they were also amazed.

Li Si stroked his beard and said in admiration: "This rocket is really terrifying. If it hits the enemy from such a distance..."

boom boom-

boom boom-

boom boom-

Before Li Si could finish speaking, the rockets that had been thrust obliquely into the soil suddenly exploded continuously.

The huge area instantly became a purgatory of thunder and fire, and the soil was thrown several feet high!

The nearby fence was also engulfed by the flame shock wave, instantly swaying to and fro, and then ignited a raging fire!
It is also fortunate that the people watching the ceremony outside that area have been led away by the patrol, otherwise, even if they are not killed by the bombing, they will be scared to death...

"Hi~!"

Li Si took a breath, then grinned.

He probably didn't expect that after the rocket bomb fell, it could still injure the enemy with an explosion. Caught off guard, he was startled by the scene of the explosion, and his beard stroking hand trembled, directly pulling off a bunch of beard...

But he was fine, and it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

The real embarrassment is the envoys of various countries...

The first time they saw gunpowder weapons, they saw the latest rockets of the Qin army at this stage.

Terrible range.

Terrible explosion.

Everything is beyond their cognition!

Those who are stunned are considered calm at this time.

What's more, they were frightened by the cluster explosions, and the telescope in their hands fell to the ground, holding their heads and screaming again and again.

"Flying so far, how can it still emit thunder?"

"What kind of god's anger is this?"

"How can a mortal body resist such a power that steals the sky?"

"The people of Qin use this forbidden technique that harms the peace of heaven...sooner or later they will be punished by the heavens...they will be punished by the heavens..."

The envoys of various countries yelled and even cursed, as if only in this way could they find a trace of comfort and calm their fears.

Qin Mo frowned and looked around, but saw that it was Ji Zhun, Prince of Joseon.

The young man was a little stupefied at this time, and he could only curse unconsciously in his mouth: "I will be punished by the gods... I will be punished by the gods..."

And the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom beside him were not much better.

That guy was preoccupied before, thinking about how to renege on his debts and not honor his bet, but now he was shaking like a sieve.

The skin was already white, and there was no trace of blood, it was as pale as a vampire, and the lips were white...

Because he realized that if the people of Qin wanted to go to the Great Xia Kingdom to find fault, they would not need to send any large army, but hundreds of elite soldiers, armed with such thunder-fire weapons with a terrifying range, would be able to take over the Great Xia Palace in one go!
"wind!"

"wind!!"

"Great wind~!!!"

When the envoys of various countries were terrified, the officers and men of the lieutenant army began to roar again.

This time, the people who were watching the salute also blushed with excitement, and joined in the roar.

After watching this military parade today, I will be able to brag about it with my children and grandchildren for a lifetime. It is really exciting and wonderful!

buzzing-

woohoo-

As the roar fell, the ballista troop behind the rocket soldiers fired one after another large thunderbolt bombs.

The bed crossbow existed in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period!

But it is as bulky as a trebuchet, requiring a dozen people to operate it, either for siege or defense.

Back then, Qin Mo, together with the old and young mansions of Xiangli Mian of the Mo family, greatly simplified it into a ballista style, which can be run by a horse.

And the pulley mechanism is installed to make winding more labor-saving and the shooting range more terrifying.

However, when applied to field battles, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects... At least in Qin Mo's opinion, it is not ideal!
For example, with a strenuous operation of Bala, a siege chisel is launched with a good string, but the lethality is very limited.

Especially when dealing with the sparse formation of cavalry archers, the lethality is simply touching, and it is more frightening.

And when it comes to scaring people, what can scare people better than gunpowder explosion?

Therefore, the last time Qin Mo led his cavalry out to fight against the Xiongnu, he didn't even bother to bring a ballista. Thunderbolt bullets were enough!

Another example is its complex structure, which is difficult to disassemble and assemble. In places with complex terrain, even if there are wheels, it will greatly delay the marching speed.

On the contrary, it is not as easy to use as a small catapult that is easy to disassemble and assemble. It is so simple that you can only carry the necessary mechanical parts, cut wood on the spot when you arrive, and quickly manufacture a batch for combat.

Therefore, on the Baiyue battlefield, Qin Mo didn't like to use the ballista, even if its range far exceeds that of the trebuchet!

But he doesn't like it, it's his business...

In the entire Great Qin, from Yingzheng to grassroots soldiers, there is no one who doesn't like the bed crossbow, because its range is far enough, far surpassing the trebuchet!

And when Qin Mo proposed that he wanted a launcher that could replace the trebuchet and shoot large thunderbolts or gunpowder packets at a faster speed, no matter whether it was a master craftsman or a student All the students in the hall, the first thing they thought of was the ballista.

Because its range is far enough, far beyond the trebuchet!

They completely ignored that Qin Mo's premise was to project at a faster speed... After some modifications, it was changed to a ballista capable of firing large thunderbolt bullets, and he gave the imperial court a reward.

However, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, ​​Feng Quji and others like it very much. In their words, the slow shooting speed can be compensated by the range. As long as the shooting is far enough, the enemy can always shoot two or three rounds before the enemy rushes to the front of the formation. !
Even if the rocket projected by Qin Mo could be fired several times faster and hit the enemy with several times more terrifying range, they did not give up the idea of ​​using ballistas.

Because its range is between two and three miles, which is still higher than that of unscrupulous cannons, which can just make up for the gap in firepower between rockets and unscrupulous cannons. It also saves gunpowder, which can be called high quality and low price.

As for the problem that ballistas are larger and more difficult to deliver than rockets and unscrupulous cannons, then use manpower to solve the problem. Rockets and unscrupulous cannons are in groups of five, and ballistas are in groups of ten...

In short, the ballista or the ballista is the favorite of Daqin, and it is impossible to be eliminated for the time being!
Perhaps, the ballista will be eliminated only when the real artillery is manufactured!
boom boom-

The large thunderbolt exploded on the ground, and two miles in front of the formation, once again created a purgatory full of flames and shrapnel.

The envoys from various countries on the general stage were already numb after seeing this scene, and turned to look at the heartless cannon behind the ballista.

Then, the voice of the roaring wind reappeared.

A series of well-cast heartless cannons began to show their power, and each gunpowder bag weighing ten catties rolled and flew two hundred steps away to the ground.

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

The reason why the heartless cannon is called the heartless cannon is because it has no conscience... The horrible charge will shock you to death even if it doesn't kill you. Thunder rolls on sunny days and dry land.

The envoys of various countries stood on the general platform, and felt that the general platform under their feet was shaking.

And that's not an illusion, it's that the Dianjiangtai is really shaking!
The Qin army received the enemy in this way, and if the enemy can continue to charge forward after three rounds of fire coverage, it will be an undoubted warrior.

Or the lucky ones!
And waiting for the enemy, there is also a crossbow that can pierce rhinoceros armor within a hundred and fifty steps, and a step bow that can shoot accurately and quickly within a hundred steps.

No matter how close it was, the soldiers in front of the formation threw dense pull-fuze thunderbolt bombs!

Then there are... the traps and trenches in front of the formation.

When the enemy can be eliminated at a long distance, hand-to-hand combat is always the last choice!

On the general stage, Qin Mo took a deep breath of the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and it turned out that the way of fighting is the correct way for Qin Jun to attack.

Cool!
