I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 212 Great Qin's First Camel Cavalry

Qin's excellent military equipment is a rare treasure in the eyes of the Yuezhi people, and it is also of great value in the hands of the Qin army itself.

A set of military armor costs two taels of gold in conversion. If weapons and equipment are included, then the worth of a Qin soldier is at least five taels.

On a higher level, a Qin cavalry equipped with horses can be worth up to ten taels of gold. If it is the latest equipped Shenji battalion, each one is worth at least 30 taels.

The Yuezhi people wanted Qin's excellent military equipment. If they were to exchange for the above value, then the value of a camel would be far less than a set of armor.

However, the camels domesticated by the Yuezhi people are far more than the current use, and their utility can play a very important role in Li Yu's next plan.

So having said that, Li Yu's seemingly loss-making business this time is actually a plan for the future, and it can be regarded as an investment.

Tikulaku, who had the experience of being entrapped by Li Yu last time, never expected that Li Yu agreed so happily now.

All of a sudden, surprise, annoyance and other emotions flooded into his heart, making Tikulaku extremely regretful.

Why don't I add more chips?

……

Seeing Yue Tikulaku's old face seemed to be constipated, Li Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"It's just for my Great Qin's excellent military equipment, so to speak, [-] sets of bronze armor, this Marquis has inherited General Meng Tian."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Tian froze for a moment.

How can you, Li Yu, make a deal with someone else and blame me?
But before Meng Tian could open his mouth, Li Yu said again: "A set of bronze armor weighs forty catties. Although the Royal Fire Cavalry is so heavy, it is suitable for defense, but now the Huns are almost wiped out. There is no more disturbance on the grassland. It's time for the Qin army to replace the army. Weapons."

When Meng Tian heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on that ancient well-smooth face.

If Li Yu dared to say this in front of him, it meant that Li Yu planned to make the lightweight but well-defended leather-inlaid iron armor of Shenjiying popular in the army.

Just like the way horseshoes, saddles and other things came out, try them out first, and then promote them.

Considering this way, how could Meng Tian fail to see what Li Yu was planning.

But after Meng Tian became a general, the existence of the Great Qin army now has the opportunity to lead the people of the country to fight, so naturally he will not give in.

Thinking that Li Yu wanted to arm the fire cavalry under his own command, Meng Tian was naturally happy to see the result, so he smiled and said: "Master Taiwei has far-reaching considerations, and Meng Tian admires it. However, I think it is possible to replace the memory of the Lingnan Army. The armaments are given to the Yuezhi people, after all the Yuezhi people want excellent armaments, but they didn’t specify which legion of my Great Qin would wear them.”

When such words came out of Meng Tian's mouth, Li Yu and even the other soldiers were somewhat astonished.

It turns out that General Meng Tian is also an iron cock, and he has no less ideas than Taiwei Li Yu...

Many of the soldiers present are good at calculating and calculating. Take Liu Bang, the former pavilion chief, for example. Liu Bang can't earn a set of armor all year round.

The shrewdness of Meng Tian's suggestion lies in the armaments of the four armies of the Great Qin Dynasty. The armies of the soldiers in charge of guarding the capital around Xianyang City are the best, and the second is the Great Wall Army stationed all year round to resist the harassment of the Huns.Secondly, it is the Lishan army transformed into the Lishan prisoner who changed the shotgun to the cannon.In the end, it was the Lingnan Army who had pacified many tribes in Baiyue and had been farming steadily for several years.

However, because the Lingnan Army rebelled with Zhao Tuo, the military equipment of its soldiers was punished according to the law of Qin, and they were not sent to the warehouse in the county city of Hainan County.

Once those armaments leave the body, without the soldiers to wipe and maintain them, I'm afraid they will become rusty and moldy.

Meng Tian exchanged such armaments for the camels of the Yuezhi people.It can only be said that Li Yu is ignorant.

Not to mention the Dianshi, he is the face of Daqin.Naturally, the conversation between Li Yu and Meng Tian would not be translated randomly.

Seeing Tikulaku's expression of joy with the Yuezhi King in private, he immediately began to urge: "Since our Great Qin Taiwei has verbally promised your clan to give your clan armaments, he will not go back on his word, and your clan will also Time to bring those camels out."

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but look at the ailing envoy, thinking that this envoy was clever, so he heard the ruler of the Yuezhi Kingdom laugh and say: "Your country supports the Yuezhi, but I, as the leader of the Yuezhi Kingdom I can’t repay you. Now that the envoy of Qin has taken a fancy to my Yuezhi’s camels, then take them all, and I can also promise to give you a hundred camel tamers as a gift.”

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help grinning, and then looked at Tikuras, the leader of the Yuezhi Kingdom, the man who almost became his father-in-law.

It's a pity, after all, he is a foreigner, otherwise Li Yu would have wanted such a kind old man.

Speaking of which, the Yuezhi people who were sent by Tikulaku to take the camels came back just at this time.

Everyone only heard a tinkling sound coming from the direction east of the Shiyang River, and only then did they notice that the leader Yuezhi was full of camels behind him.

"The camels were brought into the Tengger Desert behind by my people. There are a total of [-] camels, all of which are here."

"Just leave some camels for our family to breed, as well as those underage cubs."

After hearing this, Li Yu nodded, and immediately responded: "It's easy to say, let's take an integer and let our army take away [-] camels."

Tikuras and his uncle Tikuraku glanced at each other, then nodded and said: "The camels have been the hard work of my Yuezhi people for many years, and I hope the soldiers of your country will take good care of them."

Domesticated camels, like horses, are docile and willing to work hard.And it needs people to love and maintain it to let it go.

Li Yu nodded irrefutably, turned to Meng Tian at random and said, "In this case, General Meng, you can take over. As for the general of this trip, Zilong will be in charge."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Meng Tian's eyes, and he just nodded and said: "Since this is the case, the 2 Qingqi before is just right. Now that I have taken over this camel team, I only need to change the mounts to become a camel army."

"Let the soldiers get acquainted with the way the camels travel and how to drive them. Let's set off in two hours."

In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, Li Yu immediately made arrangements to give Meng Tian's light cavalry two hours to adapt.

Meng Tian nodded, and immediately made arrangements.

After a while, everyone saw the interesting scene at the foot of Qilian Mountain. They saw Qin army soldiers riding camels instead of horses, each of them hunched over and swayed from side to side on the camels. The scene was once chaotic.

In such a scene, not only Qin Jun was watching from the sidelines, but even the Yuezhi people who had hidden themselves all came out one after another.

There was no sense of ridicule in their laughter, but it was more or less turned into an encouragement to the [-] Qin soldiers who were driving camels.

Within two hours, the first camel cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty, led by Zhao Yun, walked out of the Shiyang River, and then followed the remnants of the Xiongnu's footprints northward into the desert.
