Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 280 Magical Use of Silk
Baxiulie looked at Maodun in shock, he never thought that Maodun would make such a choice.

This seems to be an extremely stupid choice, and it is completely inconsistent with the extraordinary wisdom that Mao Dun usually shows.

Ba Xiulie sighed silently in his heart, after thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't figure out the intention of Maodu doing this.

woo woo woo woo……………………

The continuous sound of horns sounded from the court of the Huns and spread in all directions. All the herdsmen looked up in the direction of the court of the Huns. Everyone knew that this was the prelude to the war.

"Look, that's the dragon flag supporting the plow..." A herdsman looked at Yinglong's big flag fluttering in the strong wind, and his words were full of shock.

Yinglong Dazhu, which marks the arrival of Shan Yu's cavalry.

It is the strongest force in Shan Yu's hands.

"There is also the big banner of General Zuo..." At this moment, a herdsman shouted again, and what appeared in front of the herdsman was a white tiger pattern embroidered on a flag.

This is the Wanqi that Ba Xiulie belongs to. As Touman's most trusted confidant, Touman handed over this Wanqi to Ba Xiulie.

Next, another five or six large banners came here, and all the herdsmen watched this scene dully.

Right now, the troops assembled by the Xiongnu have reached ten thousand cavalry, and the number is about 10. Everyone is convinced that the war is really going to start!

The [-] cavalry gathered together cost an astronomical figure every day, and the impact on the passing grasslands was immeasurable.

Even some good pastures need two or three years of recuperation to recover, while some pastures with poor quality will take longer.

Don't think that nomads do not need logistics to wage wars, but unlike farming peoples, farming peoples transport food when they wage wars, while nomadic peoples carry large-scale herds of cattle and sheep.

In addition, there are equipped war horses. Every soldier must have at least two war horses. If such a large herd of livestock steps across any pasture, it will cause huge damage to this pasture.

War horses, cattle and sheep will eat all the roots and stems of the grass, and what will be left will be a desert.

The grassland's ecological environment is more fragile and harsher, and it simply cannot withstand such a toss. Therefore, everyone is convinced that Shan Yu is really planning to go south!
But after paying such a price, in the Qin land, if fruitful results cannot be achieved, it is foreseeable what will happen on the grassland.

A large number of cattle and sheep without enough forage will starve to death, and the herdsmen who lose their cattle and sheep will also lose the capital to survive. The best result is to become slaves of other tribes, and there is hope of survival. Disappeared on the grassland.

At the same time, two groups of envoys from the royal court of the Xiongnu set off separately to Donghu and Dayuezhi to persuade the two sides to send troops together.

At this time, in a barracks outside Fushi City, Shi Fu led seven or eight carriages, loaded with goods, to come here.

Entering the barracks, seeing Fusu, Shifu said: "Brother, this is the silk you want, it's all here."

Fusu went outside, looked at the silk on the carriage, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Shifu, let's go to the Military Supply Order to get the money later!"

Seeing this, Shifu scratched his head and said, "Brother, even if I gave these to Qin Jun, my Shifu won't take any money."

"Oh?" Fusu looked at Shifu with a strange smile in his eyes.

Seeing Fusu's face, Shifu hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't think about it, I'm not flattering you. The silk was given to Qin Jun, not because of you, brother."

"tell me the story."

Shi Fu paused for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "The first thing is that I know big brother well, and know that big brother always has a purpose in doing things. Although sometimes people don't understand, but big brother must have deep meaning in doing things."

"You boy..." A smile appeared on the corner of Fusu's mouth.

"Secondly, to be honest, brother, I have been to many counties and counties this year. Some of these counties are close to the Hu people, and they are often looted and harassed by the Hu people. As a result, many people were displaced and their families were destroyed. , my master doesn't have much ability, I can't kill those barbarians and avenge the common people, but I believe that my elder brother will definitely be able to, so these silks can be regarded as a little bit of my heart."

Speaking of this, Shifu's eyes gradually turned red. He had seen with his own eyes how miserable the village was after being plundered by the barbarians. It is not an exaggeration to say hell on earth.

There were broken arms and limbs all over the ground, and countless people were lying in pools of blood. All the food and belongings in everyone's homes were looted, and even children were taken back to the grassland to be trained as slaves.

The village, which was originally full of vitality, turned into ruins in the blink of an eye, and turned into a ghost town. It didn't make a single sound, and the silence was terrifying.

Seeing Shifu's appearance, Fusu patted Shifu's shoulder and said, "I will definitely."

Regardless of Fusu's status, as long as he is a member of Zhu Xia, he has the obligation to protect the people of Zhu Xia from being bullied by the Hu people.

Fusu stared at Shifu and said, "Shifu, these silks are actually used as clothes."

Shifu was also a little stunned when he heard this sentence. It seems too rich and powerful to make silk clothes for every soldier!
You know, even if these are not silks and satins that are worth a lot of money like Shu brocade, they are still silk, and the price is still not cheap. Ordinary people can only use raw materials such as hemp to make clothes.

Seeing the puzzled look on Shifu's face, Fusu took a piece of silk at random, then pierced the silk with an arrow, and showed it in front of Shifu.

Seeing that Shifu was still puzzled, Fusu said: "If the enemy shoots an arrow, the silk can reduce the damage. Even if the soldier is shot, the soldier can follow the silk and pull out the arrow. Come on, the chances of my Qin army soldiers surviving will definitely be greatly enhanced."

Speaking of this paragraph, I have to nominate the Mongolian iron cavalry that shocked the world. In this way, Fusu copied the Mongolian iron cavalry.

Mongolian Qingqi don't wear armor, and the clothes they wear next to their bodies are made of silk. When they shoot at the enemy, they find that silk can significantly reduce damage. Reduce the damage of arrows to soldiers, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

It's just that due to the constraints of the conditions, Fusu wanted all the Qin troops to have such treatment, so naturally he couldn't afford it, so he had to settle for the next best thing and let the new army equip it first.
