Qiang Qin

Inventions change lives.

Technology creates the future.

Political stability, national strength, and the continuous integration of advanced concepts of other national civilizations, Xinqin's open and inclusive attitude allowed it to rapidly grow into a technological powerhouse.

The emergence of composite paper was nearly [-] years earlier than Cai Lun's transformation of paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This was due to the national strength of the Great Qin Dynasty and the inevitable technological progress brought about by a prosperous country.Leave a name in history, this report of Zhang Shizhi, the internal historian of Xin'an, is destined to be recorded in history. It is the first example of using a new type of paper type in an official court statement, and Zhang Shizhi's name will be forever remembered by future generations. remember.

Hundreds, thousands of years later.

The story of Zhang Shizhi and paper may become a classic subject in children's popular preschool education textbooks, and his emotional changes and psychological reactions during writing will also be processed and presented by artists. This is Zhang Shizhi's luck, and also It is his misfortune, because while being praised by later generations, he is no longer him.

When Zhang Shizhi was writing to commemorate the meritorious officers and soldiers in naval battles and check military merits and ranks, Li Yuan was drafting a "Five-Year Plan for Strengthening the Talent Reserve of the Great Qin Army". In Li Yuan's plan, not only There are clauses to improve the treatment of R&D personnel, as well as regulations on special rewards for the invention team. The implementation of these regulations will ensure that the military building department will become another complete upgrade system after the regulations on military titles and the promotion of internal affairs officials.

Daqin Ministry of Science and Technology.

With the operation of Lishan, Jinyang, Jushui, and Xingyang's four major military buildings, in these specialized scientific and technological research institutions, batch after batch of craftsmen, craftsmen, and apprentices are like professors in later research institutes. Like teachers, teachers, and students, they can freely communicate their ideas.Under the protection of the strict laws and regulations of the Qin State, the artisans of military construction can devote themselves to the tide of invention without any scruples.

The collision of ideas and the emergence of new ideas, Bingzao has shown a different collective strength in the new round of invention and technology research and development in Daqin, which is not available in other dynasties except Qin.

Emphasis on technology and talent.Emphasis on the application of new inventions is an important reason why Xinqin keeps forging ahead and becoming stronger.Before Li Yuan, including the first emperor, no king was willing to devote a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to scientific research. Very few.

National power determines the level of science and technology.

The role of Qin's military construction is not only reflected in the military level, but also in the people's livelihood, Li Yuan hopes.The innovation of composite paper is a leading breakthrough, and next, he can see more new tools and technologies that are beneficial to people's livelihood emerge.

Conquest brings glory, but also wealth.

The victory of the Qin fleet at Kititi broke through the bottleneck of trade in the Mediterranean Sea and ensured that goods between the East and the West could be transported in a free state. This was a major change in the exchange of civilizations between the East and the West.In addition to the huge profits brought by trade, the Qin army's claim for wealth in the occupied areas is also quietly proceeding.

Funeral objects for pharaohs in Egyptian pyramids.

Artifacts looted from the East by Alexander the Great of Macedon.

There are also many intermittent civilizations in the Mesopotamia, Don River, and Danube River basins. Their cultural heritage was carefully searched out by the staff of the Qin Army.Then it was shipped back to the East via the Silk Road.

Wealth is enviable.

Wealth touches people's hearts.

Just when the sea war between Qin and Rome was in full swing, a crisis was sweeping in the hinterland of Central Asia located in the middle of the Silk Road, and the Silk Road brought rich returns.The South Asian Maurya Dynasty, which has always been indifferent to the northern border, can't bear it.

The 17th year of the Great Qin calendar, October.

Indus Valley.

In Fahrenheit City, the capital of the Maurya Dynasty (Magadha), an important military discussion on whether to go south or go north is in progress.Magadha, which has ruled the Indus Valley for more than three hundred years, is like a gradually setting sun.Even though the sun has faded to the west, it is still not reconciled to such a peaceful fall.

The king's chariot in his prime, the general Pusyamituo, the minister of power Sunga sent his friends, the leader of the Baicheng Kingdom on the Deccan Gaoyuan, the leader of the Baicheng Kingdom, and the leader of Andaro, Sadakani.These important figures of the Maurya Dynasty gathered together, and the focus of their discussions and disputes was whether to send troops to the north to start a war with Qin, the great power across Eurasia, or to fight steadily and continue to use troops towards the southern part of the Deccan Plateau to fight for the first place. Occupy the Ganges River Basin and then conquer Southeast Asia.

both sides of the dispute.

On one side are the generals Pusia Mituo and Sunga Chayou, and on the other side are Baicheng Wang Shili and Andara King Sadakani. These two forces represent different nationalities within the Maurya Dynasty, and the strength of the two sides is on par. , No one can do anything to anyone, and the power of the king's giant chariot is relatively much weaker. The successive kings of the Maurya Dynasty after Ashoka were all mediocre, and it is inevitable that the power will be left behind.

However, in this military discussion, Juche's attitude was exceptionally resolute. From the very beginning, he chose to support Pusia Mituo and his friends, use troops to the north, occupy Daxia, and cut off the wealth of Qin State. Conveyor line, this is the first step of change. Juche has already decided that he wants to lead the army himself and improve his status with real achievements. The titular puppet king.

Apart from the support of General Pusia Mituo and poor friends, the appearance of another person also played an important role in making Juche so confident.

Good people don't live long, and disasters last thousands of years.

Bank of China said.

This important figure of the former Yan State who disappeared in the Bosbros Strait, and the counselors of the Huns before and after Shanyu Modun and Helianbi, survived the catastrophe after falling into the sea, and was captured by a group of South Asian businessmen who were trading in the Mediterranean Sea. The team rescued him and arrived in Fahrenheit City after going around.

With deep hatred for Qin, Bank of China started his anti-Qin journey again. Although he failed again and again and fled again and again, Bank of China still did not give up.

The 17th year of the Great Qin calendar, November.

The giant chariot of the Peacock King, who had reached a strategic alliance with Rome, conscripted an army of 24 including elephant soldiers, cavalry, and infantry, including more than 15 war elephants, more than [-] chariots, [-] Moro infantry, and Mido Luo, that is, more than [-] mercenaries, the Maurya Dynasty army was mighty all the way, and launched a war to compete for the Great Xia Kingdom (that is, the area around Afghanistan).

This sudden movement of the giant car immediately ignited the alarm smoke on the Silk Road, which had been quiet for a long time. On the long Silk Road, the middle section is the Qicun of Qin State. It is located at the east end of Chang'an and the Western Regions, because it is close to the mainland Although the number of Qin troops guarding here is not large, reinforcements can be sent through the road at any time; and in the area of ​​Xin'an City, Dongyang City, Xiyong City and Yanhuang City, the most elite troops of Qin State have gathered, only the middle section Suiye City was also the area around the former capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and its defenses were relatively weak, which gave the Indians a chance to attack.

November fifteenth.

Suiye City, the former capital of Great Xia Kingdom.

At the closed gate of the city, the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city are nervously checking the caravans coming and going. The tense fighting in the south has already spread here. For the sake of safety, Ji Bu, the guard of Suiye City, decided to temporarily close the city gate. , and gathered the soldiers scattered on both sides of the Amu Darya, preparing for a protracted defensive battle.

Jibu's strategy was correct. On the one hand, he withdrew his troops in an attempt to hold on; on the other hand, he sent urgent reports to Chang'an in the east and Xin'an in the west. When outside, if you choose to attack head-on, if you fail, the consequences will be disastrous.

Due to the vast territory of the Great Qin State, the Qin State Intelligence Department was not fully prepared for the intelligence collection work in South Asia. In this regard, it is no wonder that Menghu, the main reason is that the expansion speed of the Qin State is not comparable to the speed of the talent pool. To adapt, Menghu had no choice but to focus on Rome, the most powerful opponent.

Ji Bu's ability is lower than that of Han Xin and Li Zhongxiang, and his age is higher than that of Cao Xin, Gan Yong, Luo Jia and other young people. In terms of qualifications, he is not from Li Yuan's cronies. Sure.

Following Li Yuan, Ji Bu no longer has the energy to charge forward to trap the trap. Although he is only forty years old, his experience in the army has given him a different mentality.

The past is like smoke and dust. The seventeen princes under the command of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the vigorous battle for the unification of the new Qin Dynasty. These once brilliant pasts have now been turned into dust. Only people like Ji Bu can remember them. old man.

The reason why he didn't choose to go into seclusion like Zhong Limei, Peng Yue and others was because of Li Yuan's insistence on keeping him, and also because Ji Xin, his younger brother, was still serving in the Qin army, so Ji Bu couldn't let go of his mind.It should be said that Li Yuan's attitude is sincere in the use of experienced generals like Ji Bu.

Suiye City is located at the southern end of the Aral Sea, the easternmost lake in the ancient Mediterranean that was separated from Central Asia. This former capital of the Great Xia Kingdom is now one of the seven star cities in the western border of Qin State.Due to its geographical location connecting the north, south, east and west hubs, in just a few years, Suiye City has also grown into an important city in the hinterland of Central Asia.

The name Suiye was chosen by Li Yuan himself, which means to commemorate the great poet who left many famous works in the history of Chinese literature, and at the same time, it is also to commemorate the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history - the Tang Dynasty.The Tang Dynasty's expansion of the western territory stopped when it reached Suiye City. Gao Xianzhi's army lost the famous battle with the Arabs. Since then, the Chinese army has never been able to cross Congling.

As an important link in the strategic chain of Qin's westward expansion, this important city by the Aral Sea must be guarded by a strong general. In this regard, Ji Bu is the most suitable. (To be continued..)
