The heavens start from saving Daming

For Li Yunze, Lu Buwei's exit is just a basic lesson in adjusting the length of the ball.

Next, we really get into the topic.

"Your Majesty, do you think military power is important?"

Facing Li Yunze's inquiry, Ying Zheng was slightly surprised, "Nature is extremely important."

"The general is leading his troops outside. What should he do if he has second thoughts and chooses to betray?"

"Of course, he will be dealt with according to the law and his family will be implicated."

This is what the Qin Law stipulates. If there is a rebellion, the whole clan will naturally be implicated. Even the soldiers who followed the rebellion will be treated the same.

In history, when Lord Changping and Lord Changan rebelled, the soldiers and family members who followed them, and even the people in their fiefdoms, were brutally massacred.

Fan Yuqi, who "borrowed your head to use", participated in Chang'anjun's rebellion, fled to Yan after the failure, and was eventually borrowed his head by Jing Ke.

"They were all subjects of the Qin Dynasty. They paid taxes, provided corvees, plowed the fields and grew food, and served as soldiers for the king. They were all slaughtered. In fact, it was the king who lost."

During the Warring States Period, large armies of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands often fought. Considering the population base of this era, it would be unbelievable to future generations.

In fact, there is no mystery, just because in this era, all the people are soldiers.

As long as they are men, they must join the army and fight as soldiers until they can no longer fight.

According to the requirements of Qin Law, people must serve from the age of 17 to 60.

When there is a war, the army goes out, and when there is no war, they plow the fields at home. This is the Qin people's farming war.

Of course, there are definitely not that many elites in the true sense. Most of them are cannon fodder or even guest husbands.

As for logistics, basically everyone is doing it, and even women have to go to the front lines to transport food, grass and military supplies.

During the Battle of Changping, almost everyone in the country was mobilized and continuously transported military supplies to the front line, dragging down Zhao Jun to death.

Therefore, population is the most critical resource.

"Master." Ying Zheng, who was greedy for absorbing all knowledge, curiously asked, "How to avoid rebellion?"

Li Yunze quickly gave the answer: "The military is owned by the state."

The generals of the Warring States Period were different from the generals of later generations who had to hand over their military power after returning from war. The generals themselves could have large-scale personal soldiers.

Their numbers are large, and they have absolute command over the army when leading troops into battle. Even if they lead a rebellion, they can pull the troops together.

At this point, Changping Jun and Changan Jun have demonstrated it best.

Of course, when they were defeated and died, the sergeants who were dragged down also perished.

If you want to change this situation, it is natural to form a national army.

This topic obviously attracted Ying Zheng's attention: "How to do it?"

"The existing division of military power cannot be changed." Li Yunze did not talk about how to form a national army, but talked about the foundation. "Those generals who have surrendered to the king are the foundation of the Qin Dynasty and the foundation of the king. Now let's move them. Military power is self-destructive."

Ying Zheng became more and more confused, "Of course I know what the Tutor said. But what does it have to do with serving the country through military service?"

"Your Majesty, if you can't use the military power of the generals, then you have to form a new army. A new army that only obeys the orders of your Majesty. Your Majesty is the country, and your country is your king. The new army is only loyal to your king, and naturally it is loyal to the Qin Dynasty."

"The New Army?" Ying Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, "The New Army is only loyal to a few people?"

"Yes."

Li Yunze continued to confuse, "And it must be a powerful enough army that everyone can fear and be able to become the Sword of the King."

"But isn't Great Qin's army the most powerful in the world?"

Facing Ying Zheng's doubts, Li Yunze, who looked calm, only said one sentence, "Whether he is strong or not depends on his performance on the battlefield."

A few days later, Ying Zheng issued a royal order.

One thousand cavalry and three thousand horses were mobilized from various garrisons and gathered in Yueyang, north of Xianyang City.

At the same time, the general supervisor, who was basically controlled by the Mohist family, also welcomed the visit of Li Yunze.

"You are all technical people, so I won't say any more polite nonsense." Li Yunze originally wanted to find the Mo family's boss, but when he learned that he was not here, he simply got to work. "I have some things here that I need your help to build. This It’s the king’s order.”

A group of barefooted Mohist disciples took the drawings handed over by Li Yunze and began to observe them carefully.

There were drawings in ancient times, but they were very rough.

Li Yunze's drawings are not rough, they can be less complicated, because the things are very simple.

"What is this?"

"Stirrups are bilateral. They are hung on both sides of the horse's belly. In addition to assisting in moving up and down, the most important use is to control the horse with both legs and free up the hands to perform martial arts."

The stirrup appeared very late. Even the unilateral stirrup would not appear until hundreds of years later, and the bilateral stirrup would be even later.

This thing really has no technical content and does not require any complicated prerequisites. What is missing is that flash of inspiration.

Cavalry training during the Warring States Period was very difficult, largely because the cavalry had to spend a lot of energy controlling their horses.

The nomadic people have been dealing with horses since they were young, and they are naturally proficient in their use.

But farming people need to spend a lot of energy and time to do this.

Moreover, both legs and one hand are busy controlling the horse, which will naturally greatly affect the combat effectiveness.

Stirrups can easily solve this problem and greatly reduce the difficulty and time of training cavalry.

"What is this?" "High bridge saddle." Li Yunze continued to explain, "The soft saddle used now is a little more comfortable when riding. But the high bridge saddle is different. This thing is a perfect match for the stirrups. It can give the rider It provides stable support while also reducing discomfort on the horse’s back and enhancing the riding effect.”

The high-bridge saddle, also one of the three-piece cavalry set, can allow cavalry to gain better stability on horseback, reduce the energy they invest in riding horses, and thus use more strength and energy on the horse. Use weapons.

Of course, comfort is also a very important indicator.

Compared with soft saddles that stick to the hips, high bridge saddles are more suitable for long-distance riding and high-speed sprints.

"What is this circle-like thing?"

"Horseshoes." Li Yunze said with a smile, "Just like the shoes we wear, putting shoes on horses can reduce the horse's wear rate."

Horses are delicate creatures, and running for a long time may cause their hooves to crack.

Once a horse's hoof is cracked, it can no longer be used for riding, which is equivalent to saying that the horse is scrapped.

For the farming people who lacked horses, this was definitely a major loss.

The emergence of horseshoes can greatly avoid losses caused by cracked horseshoes.

This thing is easy to make. If it wears out, you can just cut it out and replace it. It is very convenient and saves trouble.

As for iron tools, the Warring States Period at this time was actually somewhat similar to Europe a thousand years later.

There are many countries in the world, which promote the rapid development of science and technology in order to survive.And once a country makes a breakthrough in certain technologies, other countries will quickly follow.

After the emergence of iron tools, various countries have increased investment, and the Kanto countries have even completed the use of iron tools in their armies.

Of course, the Qin Kingdom is not like what some novels say. It only has bronzes but cannot even smelt iron.

Qin also kept up with technological progress and used iron tools.

It's just that the bronze craftsmanship of the Qin State has reached its peak, while the technology of iron wares is still very primitive, so the army is still dominated by bronze wares, but this does not mean that the Qin State does not have iron wares.

Handicrafts such as making horseshoes were not difficult for Qin.

"It will take a month at most." Li Yunze motioned to the Mohist disciples, "I want six thousand sets!"

Although only one thousand cavalry and three thousand horses were mobilized, there must be spares.

Years of war have long made Li Yunze accustomed to leaving room for preparedness.

The leader of the Mohist disciples was slightly hesitant: "We haven't done these things before, maybe."

"25rd."

Li Yunze's words made the Mohist disciples slightly agitated.

The man frowned and said, "Although it looks simple, it has never been done before."

"On the [-]th." Li Yunze added, "Are you really from the Mo family? Is it so slow to make such a simple thing with the full support of the king?"

These words stimulated the self-esteem of the children of the Mo family. They immediately patted their chests and promised that they could build everything Li Yunze needed in just fifteen days instead of twenty days, so that he could take a good look at what the Mo family was capable of!
These Mohist disciples are all technical backbones, and the real work is done by slaves and craftsmen.

The generals and supervisors are the place that provides weapons for the entire Qin Dynasty. The productivity is very scary in this era.

Since they dare to say that they can do it in fifteen days, then they can definitely do it.

The Mohist disciples keep their word, and if they fail to do so, they will even use their own lives to wash away their shame.

During this period of time, Li Yunze was naturally not idle.

He came to the military camp and trained a thousand cavalry gathered from various places.

Looking at the Qin Army cavalry gathered in front of him, Li Yunze looked a little dazed.

In his mind, the scene of him training cavalry in Zhongshan Kingdom many years ago in another time and space came to mind.

"Really, it's been too long."

After gathering his mood, Li Yunze glanced at the knights in front of him, "From now on, in the next three months, I will be your general, responsible for training you to become a true elite cavalry."

The Qin army's military discipline was very good. Even though Li Yunze was unknown in the army before, they did not complain or look down upon him at all.

Of course, doubt in the heart is inevitable.

Li Yunze was very experienced in this area. After a brief exchange of greetings, he waved directly, "Riding and shooting training!"

King Wuling of Zhao used Hu uniforms to ride and shoot, which improved the status of the cavalry.

Although it is still only an auxiliary unit, the status of the cavalry has indeed been improved.

According to the tradition of this era, when one country makes a breakthrough, other countries will naturally follow quickly, and Qin is no exception.

After learning the Zhao people's cavalry, they naturally also learned the most important thing, cavalry and archery.

The so-called mounted archery refers to archery on horseback, and accurate shooting is the only assessment criterion.

Whether you have the ability or not, you will know with one shot.

Li Yunze got on the horse, controlled the horse with the terrifying power of his legs, and slowly walked into the training ground.

If you want these cavalry to be honest and obedient, you have to show your true skills.

Li Yunze wants to show them what real archery is!
