I’m The King Chapter 1442: : Han Banner World (132) New Qin
Cao Tianci was sitting on the sled, and was driving forward. The driver was an employee of the Shunfeng Horse Company, obviously an old man who often ran on this line. Sitting on the sled with Cao Tianci was Cao Wending, a senior manager of Shunfengmaxing, who is now the top person in charge of Shunfengmaxing in Xinqin. He came back this time to supervise the shipment of a batch of goods. This batch of goods is completely munitions, and all of them are artillery and shells, including the small field guns that have just been researched by the Weapons Research Institute. The matter is so important that Cao Wending can only make a trip by himself.
"We haven't equipped this kind of artillery on a large scale yet, so we'll sell it to Xinqin first." On the sled, Cao Tianci shook his head and sighed.
"Young master, this kind of cannon has just been made, and its performance is not stable, and accidents often occur, and it is sold to the people of Xinqin on a large scale, and these field cannons are also stored so that these field cannons can be used in actual combat********** There is nothing better than being able to find the problems of these guns in the war.” Cao Wending chuckled: “The technicians of the weapon research institute, but Many of them followed the new Qin army, found problems, found out the crux, and then made improvements, and when our Han army began to equip this kind of field artillery on a large scale, it would be completely finalized."
Cao Tianci smiled, and it is not bad to use Xinqin as a testing ground for new weapons.
"With such a heavy snow, how long will it take us to reach Shule?" Looking at the long snow field and the feather-like snow still falling from the sky, Cao Tianci was a little worried.
"Young master, don't worry, when you arrive at the border of Xinqin, you will see something strange, which is quite different from ours." Cao Wending said with a smile: "But you allow me to trick me."
Cao Tianci snorted angrily. I haven't seen anything before. Is there any novelty that can open my eyes?
In fact, Cao Tianci was more than ten days later. But it was an eye-opener. In front of him, a dusty avenue appeared in front of him, surrounded by snow all over the sky, but such a concrete avenue was just unfolded in front of him. He was in the position where the big man and the new Qin were in the same place. The dividing line in the desert, behind him, above the boundary of the big man, the road has long been buried by heavy snow. But on Xinqin's side, there was no snow on the road. Looking around, all he could see were thinly dressed guys with tools in their hands, cleaning the road non-stop.
"What, what is this method? How much manpower and material resources will this need?" Cao Tianci was dumbfounded, he was a big man who was so rich that he could be said to be slick. There is no way to do this.
"In us big men, we can't afford this kind of behavior." Cao Wending laughed and said, "But in Xinqin, it really doesn't cost much? Young master, do you know these people who are cleaning the roads?" Who are they?"
Cao Tianci shook his head: "Criminals? Why are so many people wearing shackles? Wearing so little. How many days can they survive? I'm afraid they will freeze to death."
"People are dying every day." Cao Wending said indifferently: "These people are all slaves. Xinqin has a large number of slaves. These people are in Xinqin, hehe. They are similar to wild dogs. People in Xinqin don't care at all. Their life and death is just to give them a little food that can barely save their lives. At night, these people are nested in snow nests. There are quite a few people who freeze to death every day."
Cao Tianci's face changed slightly. In a country like Dahan, where the laws are being improved day by day, and civil rights are increasingly emphasized, he is really not used to this.
"Now the Xinqin people are at war with Dashi. This road is the lifeline to maintain the weapons and ammunition of the Xinqin people. How dare Wang Jian neglect it? The goods are in our territory, and it will take half a month to get here from Mengchi , but from here to Shule, five days is enough."
"Why are people from Xinqin messing with big cannibals now?" Cao Tianci's face changed slightly. This made him a little worried about his mission on this trip.
"It was the big cannibal who came first. However, in the battle in Kashgar, Wang Jian won a big victory, and took advantage of the momentum to fight back. Now he is almost hitting Mulu City. With our assistance in weapons, Wang Jian Jian defeated the unsuspecting big cannibals, and he is in full swing now! But according to what I know, Wang Jian's goal is to take down Mulu City and expand his defensive circle outwards. In order to prevent Xinqin native from being harassed by big cannibals when the spring is coming and plowing, and taking down Mulu City, it will not move forward. After all, the pressure on logistics is still quite high. I am afraid that the new Qin will be defeated in this battle. The things in Qin's warehouse are almost finished, and he doesn't have the ability to move forward. If you want to start a new war, you will need a long time to prepare."
Cao Tianci nodded slightly. "So that's the case, I'm relieved."
"Young master, is there any important official business in Xinqin this time? I thought you are here to inspect Xinqin on behalf of the master?" Cao Wending asked tentatively.
Cao Tianci smiled lightly, "Since when have I meddled in family affairs? Naturally, I have official business on this trip, but this is not something you can inquire about."
"My lord is right! But if you want your lord to go out in person, it must be a big deal." Cao Wending laughed.
Cao Tianci knew that the other party was a very smart person, so he refused to say more about it: "Wait for a while, and you will probably know. When I think about it, Wang Jian will definitely be inseparable from you. By the way, how is the Shunfeng car business developing in Xinqin?"
"This is the only one, there is no semicolon!" Cao Wending laughed loudly, "The conditions exchanged between the master and Wang Jian at the beginning made our Shunfeng car company obtain a unique position in the new Qin Dynasty. Let's win. In one year, our Shunfeng Car Co., Ltd. has established a complete network in Xinqin, and several main roads have been repaired. It can be said that it is making a lot of money every day, and we have contracted the Xinqin government. All the transportation tasks with the army are not insignificant income."
"You know how Shunfengche gave up most of the market from Dahan. Now in Xinqin, won't it arouse Wang Jian's fear?" Cao Tianci asked.
"It's quite different." Cao Wending shook his head and said, "Because there is a big man standing behind the Shunfeng Car Co. He is also very sensible, although we have only been in Xinqin for a year, we have also donated a lot of property to Wang Jian, and the principle of steady flow of water is the purpose of our freewheeling business!"
"Anything else?"
"Promoting Chinese-style education, reading Chinese books, writing Chinese characters, these things are slowly developing, but doing these things is much more difficult. Wang Jian is just very concerned about this, and now we also It’s just that some charitable halls have been opened in various places to take in some orphans, or buy some small slaves to carry out this work. If we want to carry out this work on a large scale, the New Qin Dynasty Hall will interfere.” Cao Wending said truthfully: “Wang Jian is not an idiot, he is smart. I reckon he can see our intentions, this kind of soft knife is sometimes more powerful than artillery, and he defends it very tightly."
"Take your time, water drips through stone, as long as you put in more effort, the quality will change in one day." Cao Tianci said plainly.
Stepping on the border of the new Qin Dynasty and changing into the latest carriage, the speed immediately increased, but what made Cao Tianci feel a little distasteful was that frozen corpses could be seen on both sides of the road from time to time. Throw it into the snow like this. Xinqin, this is really a strange country! Slaves, something that has almost disappeared in the Central Plains, reappeared in the new Qin Dynasty, and it was still in the country under the leadership of Wang Jian.
"The advanced system will inevitably defeat the old system. The wheel of history will not be shifted by man's will, he will move forward at his own inherent speed." In Cao Tianci's mind at this time, what he thought of was It was what the king said to him. As Gao Yuan's personal disciple, he had a lot of words and cognitions. Gao Yuan would never say it in public, but he would tell him, so Cao Tianci's cognition of many things is far away. Far beyond the people of this era.
The charcoal fire was burning in the carriage, it was very warm, Cao Tianci smiled and relaxed his limbs, and fell asleep comfortably.
This world will eventually belong to big men.
When Cao Tianci was rushing to Shule City, the capital of the Xin Qin State day and night, 50,000 Xin Qin soldiers stood in formation in Mulu City thousands of miles away. It was silent, countless banners were whistling by the strong wind, and the soldiers were tightly holding the guns and knives in their hands, even if there was a piercing pain from the frost-cracked wound on their hands, they did not dare to move a little~IndoMTL.com~ Wang Jian trained troops according to the military laws of the Qin State, and if he violated even the slightest violation, he would end up with severed limbs.
In front of the army formation, a series of artillery stood proudly. In addition to the long-range heavy artillery that opened the door, more small field artillery were also included in the combat ranks.
This autumn, the big cannibals finally launched an attack on Xinqin again. After the Xinqin army under the command of Shule and Wang Jian defeated the big cannibals with newly acquired weapons such as artillery and magic machine crossbows, they went all the way. The pursuit went all the way to Mulu City. This was Wang Jian's target. If he was captured, he would have a stronghold ahead. At least when the opponent came back next year, Xinqin could react calmly.
Today is the last battle with the opponent.
Proud big cannibals don't bother to defend the city. Almost all of the 20,000 big cannibals are cavalry. At this moment, they are slowly approaching from afar. It seemed that all the opponent's cavalry was in sight, but on Wang Jian's side, among the 50,000 troops, there were no more than 5,000 cavalry, and the shrinking army seemed to only occupy a small area.
The attacking cavalry began to speed up, and in the Xinqin phalanx, the roars of the officers also began to sound, and the tails of the heavy field guns began to hiss and emit light smoke from the fuzes. (To be continued.)
