Chapter 1639: Same Writing, Same Track, Same Ethics

"Your Majesty wants us to help the Crusaders?"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei in confusion. Wouldn't it be better for Saladin to launch a surprise attack? It would be better if both the dogs died in the fight.

"Why help the Crusaders? They are not good guys! I want you to destroy them all, or at least destroy their main force!"

Sun Lei said that he was not kind enough to help anyone.

"Your Majesty, isn't there Instructor Lin on the western front?"

Han Shizhong asked doubtfully. Lin Chong was leading his troops in the west at the moment, so the troops there should be dispatched faster.

"When the main army mobilizes, the enemy will find out immediately that there are many passages here, and there is nothing to block them. If the enemy wants to escape, how can we stop them? I called you here to launch a surprise attack with a small force! Lin Chong will cooperate with you!"

Sun Lei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yue Fei immediately accepted the order. He was not afraid of the enemy's large numbers. With the weapons and combat effectiveness of his special forces, he was not afraid of facing an enemy that was a hundred times his number.

"Han Shizhong, you should also take your troops with you!"

Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and said, with two battalions of soldiers, 4,000 men, well-equipped and with a large army to support them, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Han Shizhong immediately accepted the order.

After the two men left, a group of staff officers immediately began to get busy, and orders needed to be sent down to each unit.

“Communications are a problem!”

Sun Lei frowned as he looked at the busy officials. In the past, combat operations were not so efficient and there was no communication problem. But now the problem of too frequent orders to mobilize troops has become a prominent issue.

Sun Lei tapped the armrests of the rattan chair with his fingers. He had been thinking about the electrical and information age.

Electricity is a very simple thing. It's electromagnetic induction. You can create electricity by yourself right now. Sun Lei has no problem with the junior high school knowledge.

  But the question is how to use electricity. We can’t install a lightning king, right?

Especially if you want to use it in communications, it is very difficult and involves very broad and profound knowledge, which is not something Sun Lei can solve.

Even the more basic technical knowledge such as iron smelting and gunpowder technology cannot be advanced by relying on the advantage of numbers. It requires sufficient basic knowledge to continuously advance and iterate.

"Your Majesty, what's the problem?"

Seeing Sun Lei frowning, Lu You asked in confusion, with a memorial in his hand.

"It is a difficult matter, but you can't solve it!"

Sun Lei took the memorial and sighed.

"Your Majesty, please tell me. I will do my best!"

Lu You immediately said that the monarch’s difficulties were the ministers’ difficulties.

"I'm thinking about how to deliver intelligence and orders to people hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles away."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

Lu You's eyes widened. There are many ways to pass on information, but how is it possible to pass it on at this time? Unless you are a god!

Sun Lei smiled and shook his head. He knew that this was putting Lu You in a difficult position. If Lu You was asked to write a poem that was unrivaled in ancient and modern times, then Lu You would definitely accept it.

But when it comes to these science and engineering technologies, no one can do anything. The Central Plains has always respected culture, suppressed military power, and belittled science and engineering technologies.

"Don't think too much about it. I need to go back and slowly develop these things. I hope that one day I can talk to the soldiers on the front line in the palace! I can even watch the battle situation!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

Lu You looked at Sun Lei in disbelief. He thought those things were impossible, but these words were spoken by Sun Lei, the omnipotent emperor in front of him, so it was different. Sun Lei just smiled and didn't explain much. If he said more, Lu You wouldn't understand.

"Your strategies are no good! They are too complicated! You have to know that many of the people who implement these strategies are generals in the army. You can't expect them to use their brains!"

Sun Lei put down the memorial and spoke. Although he had always emphasized that generals and soldiers in the army should learn more, the army is the army and the focus should still be on military affairs.

Moreover, most of the people who join the army are men who cannot bear the mental hardship of studying and are only willing to work hard physically.

"This……"

Lu You looked bitter. This was already an extremely simplified local policy. If it was simplified further, there would be nothing left.

"In fact, you don't need to use your brain, just pick up what the predecessors have said! Just a few words: the same writing system, the same wheel gauge, and the same customs! Isn't this the trick that Qin Shihuang used to end the chaos among the countries and achieve great unification, and it has continued to this day?"

"Unifying the writing system means that under the rule of Qi, only the Qi language is allowed; unifying the cart tracks means that transportation is required, and the roads for carriages and horses must be unified, and all lead to Qi; the most important thing is to have the same ethics, and the clothing, food, housing, transportation, customs, habits and beliefs must be absolutely unified."

"As for those who refuse to obey or have different intentions, we can also use the method of burning books and burying scholars alive!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu You and said, "If Ying Zheng could unify the country and continue to do so, why can't I do the same? Whether it's national strength, territory, population and economy, military strength or decisiveness, I am definitely not inferior to Ying Zheng."

"So... Your Majesty is wise!"

Lu You bowed to Sun Lei, and the solution that they had racked their brains to come up with was explained by Sun Lei in just a few words.

"You are just making simple things complicated. If you want to accomplish great things, don't be afraid. No matter if it means killing people or exterminating a clan, no one dares to say anything. We are the victors, we are the rules, we are the truth, we are gods!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu You and said that his men were still a little restrained, especially those like Lu You who had received traditional education.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The land tour is a salute.

Sun Lei arrived outside the tent. The war had already broken out, but there were still 10,000 elite soldiers who had not been mobilized. Their mission was to guard the central army.

"The overall situation is idle, so we can set off now!"

Sun Lei gave orders to the young generals who were accompanying him. Sun Lei had already sent out the generals of each camp, and those around him were newly promoted young generals.

"Your Majesty is going to the front?"

Gongsun Sheng got the news and hurried over to inquire.

"Yes, let's go ahead and take a look!"

Sun Lei nodded and said that the army had been mobilized.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Baghdad?"

Gongsun Sheng asked.

"No, let's just take a boat and go north along the river. I want to take a look at the battlefield in the north!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said that the iron locks that blocked the river had been removed and ships could sail inland.

Gongsun Sheng felt relieved after hearing this. Compared with the complicated city, sailing north was almost safe, and there was also a large army on the western front to the north to take care of it.

Ruan Xiaoer mobilized all small and medium-sized warships, and the army boarded the ships and sailed northward.

in the desert.

The Arab cavalry had received the news of the fall of Baghdad, but they still did not give up. They were the pro-war faction and they felt that they could turn the tide. As long as they killed the enemy king, they would be heroes.

"enemy!"

The cavalry at the front shouted, and the entire Arab cavalry team slowed down and became alert. On the sand dunes in the distance, the Qi army was charging down towards them.
