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

Chapter 55 Is the Consumption of the Patrol Out of the National Treasury or the Internal Treasury?

Qin Mo and other guards lined up the mandarin ducks, roughly counted them, and then said to Zhao Gao: "Please trouble the Zhao government order, cut down twenty long bamboos, choose the old and solid ones, and cut the ends of the bamboos into a pointed shape. It is best to leave sharp branches all around, as long as the spear."

"In addition, find another twenty three-pronged iron forks. The length of the iron fork is one foot long!"

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the order with his hands in his arms, and went to give orders again.

About a quarter of an hour later, a large number of servants brought long bamboos and iron forks.

With Qin Mo's order, the wolf's hand and the boring hand in the mandarin duck formation immediately went out to take their own.

The rest also exchanged knives, cards, bows and crossbows with each other according to their corresponding responsibilities, or borrowed them from nearby guards.

Finally, on the square in front of the hall, they regrouped into small formations of mandarin ducks!

Qin Mo nodded secretly, then turned to look at Ying Zheng and the officials, and explained: "I participated in the battle against Chu, and almost suffered a loss when I attacked Chunan, which borders Baiyue."

"Southern Chu is full of mountains, forests and waters, and the large army formations cannot be used at all. However, the local Chu soldiers cross the mountains and enter the forest like walking on flat ground, so they are best at ambushes and sneak attacks."

"The minister was quite a headache at that time, so he had to suspend the march and use this formation to train the soldiers to deal with the southern Chu soldiers."

As he spoke, he pointed to the formations of mandarin ducks, and introduced: "This formation consists of 13 people. It excels in both offensive and defensive flexibility. When encountering an ambush by the enemy in the mountains and jungles, it can quickly form a formation and start a melee battle with the enemy."

"When this formation is disassembled, it is still two identical small formations, hence the name Yuanyang formation. When the Yuanyang formation is gathered together, it can form a large formation, which also has both offensive and defensive capabilities!"

Ying Zheng and the officials could naturally see his way, but they didn't know how powerful it was, so they said, "Practice it."

Qin Mo shook his hands, turned to each mandarin duck and asked: "Is there anyone who was together in the same year?"

"Have."

Before a burst of response came out.

Qin Mo waved his hand: "Practice to meet the enemy."

"Here!"

The 13 people agreed in unison, ran to a stone's throw away, and quickly put into practice.

A round card player and two long card players stood at the front to cover the whole team, raised their shields together, and practiced blocking the enemy's arrows.

The two crossbowmen standing behind started to shoot back with their arrows. The first arrow was shot upwards, and then gradually turned to shoot flat from the gap in the shield.

This is a drill when approaching the enemy, the enemy is from far to near, so the shot from the back gradually changes to the flat shot!
After the two crossbowmen turned into flat shots, the three sword players and the two boring palladium players pulled out the darts behind them and threw them forward vigorously.

The crossbowman and the boring hand in the rear retreated, and the two wolfmen took their place. They waved and turned vigorously, forming a bamboo shadow outside the shield, and the four spearmen stepped forward to cooperate with the stabbing.

This is the practice of melee combat!

From time to time, the nimble round poker player poked his waist forward, hiding under the long bamboo and the spear, pumping Leng Zi and swung a knife, and the two long poker players also frequently swung the long knives in their stabbing hands.

This is a drill to kill those close enemies who break through the blockade of long bamboos and spears!
The two crossbowmen and the two crossbowmen were not idle either. From time to time, they shot an arrow or threw a pike...

Finally, it is to practice long bamboo, spear, and sword players who are all broken by the enemy, or when the enemy is facing the enemy head-on, there are enemies attacking from the side and behind.

The two boring palladium hands finally came in handy, holding the iron fork side by side to fight. The Zhanglong iron fork is more flexible than a spear and longer than a long knife. The three-pronged fork can block and stab.

Another two crossbowmen abandoned their bows and crossbows, took off their two-handed swords behind them, and slashed with the boring palladium hands!

Later generations often have a misunderstanding that archers and crossbowmen fight melee chickens. In fact, that is because they play too many games and believe in those game plans and settings made for game balance.

A real crossbowman has stronger arms than ordinary soldiers, and on the battlefield of cold weapons, it is self-evident what a strong arm means.

When I cut you in half with a knife, I asked you if you were afraid?
"This mandarin duck formation really has both offense and defense!"

Wang Jian nodded frequently, and couldn't help but praise.

Wang Ben was also amazed and said: "If this is a melee in a narrow place, even if the number of invading enemies is several times larger, I'm afraid it won't be able to get half of the bargain."

Listening to the comments of the two famous generals, Ying Zheng and the officials could only nod their heads in agreement.

However, someone pointed to the two wolf whiskers and asked Qin Mo, "Mr. Qin, should this bamboo whisk be replaced with an iron whisk?"

Qin Mo turned his head in surprise and saw that the speaker was Meng Yi, so he took it easy and nodded, "What Lang Zhongling said is very true."

"The bamboo sticks made by the Marquis in the past have spearheads on the top, and iron spikes on the branches left behind. They are chosen for use by those with superior arm strength."

"When the enemy comes close, sweep and stab, which can block the enemy's pace, sweep down the enemy's weapon, and kill."

"In addition, the spear has been improved. The spear head has a barb, and the spear tail is equipped with an iron ring. When necessary, several poles are connected end to end, and the cliff can be climbed in an instant!"

Meng Yi bowed his hands dumbly and said: "Qin Xiang is really strange."

Next, Qin Mo ordered all the mandarin duck formations to gather together to practice the offensive and defensive responses after forming the formation.

It is exactly as Qin Mo said, both offensive and defensive, and more stable!

After Yingzheng watched it, he couldn't wait for the southern expedition to Baiyue: "Use this mandarin duck formation to train the soldiers of Chunan, and then replace the spears with thunderbolts, and they will definitely be invincible."

The ministers raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty's great cause can be accomplished!"

Ying Zheng rarely showed a smile, Fu Xu looked at Qin Mo, and then at the officials who were farting wildly, and said slowly: "I want to patrol Chu, what do you think?"

The officials froze and looked at each other, but were speechless for a while.

In fact, the Son of Heaven patrolled the Quartet. In this pre-Qin era, it was not some evil government, but an ancient one.

The three emperors and five emperors who are praised by people are the initiators of this movement. There are many praises in the Book of Rites, and they can indeed play a role in calming people's hearts!

But... maybe it was influenced by Qin Mo, the prime minister.

Qin Mo didn't like the court wasting people's power, so the officials were cautious about things that required the use of people's power.

For example, Afang Palace!
After Ying Zheng added the title of emperor, he felt that the current Qin Palace was not worthy of him, the first emperor of all time.

He once mentioned that he wanted to build the emperor's palace city in Shanglinyuan.

But as soon as the words were spoken, there were ministers on the spot who wanted to hit the pillars to die. Since then, Yingzheng has never mentioned the matter of Afang Palace again!

"What do you think, Ai Qing?"

Seeing that the officials were silent, Ying Zheng knew that the crux of the matter was Qin Mo, so he asked him for advice.

Of course Qin Mo would not say no, he raised his hand and replied: "Your Majesty patrols the four directions to appease the common people of Li and the common people, how could a minister be able to put his beak on it?"

Yingzheng Dan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "I said that if you can put a beak, you can put a beak!"

Qin Mo blinked: "Can I put my beak?"

Ying Zheng nodded, "Of course."

Qin Mo immediately showed admiration, but said in his mouth: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is the consumption of patrolling Chu land from the national treasury or the internal treasury?"

Ying Zheng: "???"
