Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times - Chapter 806
The 400000 troops are not as fast as others think.
Because in the process of marching, the Grand Prince obviously asked them to slow down.
At this time, he did two things.
The first thing is to let the military craftsmen specially make a pair of breastplates. The breastplates are very large and even affect the action. The outside is fine iron, and the inside is soft sawdust and thick leather.
Another thing is to let a team of tens of thousands of people go to practice front lunge!
Put on the breastplate, and then try to jump at a fast flying thing. After jumping, immediately close your limbs, press it under your body and protect it.
The whole set of movements has been practiced by those people over and over again.
These soldiers didn’t know what was going on at the beginning, but some people under the great prince couldn’t bear to tell the truth.
To put it bluntly, let them attack those thunder and fire. As long as someone pours on it, it can minimize the power of explosion.
The people around can survive according to this advantage.
The fact is so cruel that no one can accept it.
But those soldiers obviously didn’t respond much, not even the anger and resistance expected by people.
They accepted.
Even practice more seriously.
Soon the news flowed to the great prince.
First he was in a cold sweat.
After two days of observation, it was found that the army had not changed, but those people were more attentive to their training.
I couldn’t help but find a few people and ask my doubts.
“The king wants you to die, you all know?”
“Your Highness, we know.”
“If you know, why didn’t you resist? Not even the most basic anger?”
Several people looked at each other.
One of the older men came out.
It’s said to be old, but in fact, it’s only in its early thirties.
He smiled bitterly and said to the prince, “Your Highness, do you know how many soldiers are sent to the north every year?”
The prince shook his head.
The soldier said, “100000 a year, never reduced.”
“100000 a year?! how could it be? Why didn’t I know there would be such a big conscription?”
Soldier a said, “it’s not just conscription, distribution and prisoners who should be interrogated and beheaded, but conscription, coupled with the troops recruited from neighboring affiliated countries, it can barely make up a hundred thousand.”
“100000… That’s a lot…” the prince thought for a moment, suddenly stunned and suddenly asked, “what’s the matter? If there are 100000 recruits every year, shouldn’t there be a lot of soldiers in the north?!”
The veteran said, “of course, it’s impossible to stay all of them. People eat horses and chew. How much is not enough. The military strength there will always be maintained at 400000, no more.”
“That is to say… Over there in the north, 100000 soldiers can die a year?!”
The prince was so frightened.
The veteran sighed, say: “That’s it. The war in the North consumes a lot, so as long as your highness does this, you can make these 400000 soldiers die less. The North needs 400000 soldiers. If it’s too few, the north will not be protected. Even if we are treated as cannon fodder victims for your Highness’s victory, we know that this practice will reduce the damage to the whole army to the greatest extent To the loss. ”
The prince was silent.
After thinking for a while, he asked, “what’s the north side… Exactly?”
The veteran shook his head and said, “the rules in the north are very heavy, more important than life, unless your highness boarded the treasure one day. If not, we can’t tell you.”
“Only in that position?”
“Yes, only in that position.”
“… OK! I should be able to make a decision when I return to Beijing this time.”
The eldest prince is very sure.
It’s like winning.
The veteran smiled bitterly.
He was not optimistic about the prince, but the clever didn’t say his ideas.
In the process of the army, a group of seven people came face to face.
After seeing the army, he immediately announced his Majesty’s will to see the prince.
It is the most formal imperial edict with gold seal. It is the most effective political document in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Heavier than your Majesty’s presence!
During his more than 40 years in office, the head of the state had only issued three such decrees.
When the Grand Prince saw the imperial edict, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly ordered the Ministry to arrest the Imperial Envoys and directly detain them.
The edict also burned.
In this way, he can act as if he had never received the edict.
But only two days later, there were seven people, who also brought the same content.
The prince took a deep breath and repeated his old skill.
As a result, it was done for two more days, and the third decree came down.
The prince’s expression changed slightly.
He took a deep breath and gave the order.
Then the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh!
There are seven edicts, seven people respectively, and each one is a gold seal.
The great prince finally felt an inexplicable pressure.
Because although each gold order looks the same, there are still differences in the nuances.
In particular, the choice of words and sentences at the end obviously has told the prince’s decision and warned him.
In fact, according to the distance between the big king’s court and here, the seven golden orders were issued together. It’s not that you know the big prince’s reaction and go to get new ones, that is to say, your majesty has fully expected all the responses of the big prince, so you issued the seven golden orders.
In this seventh way, your majesty focuses on one point.
After the seven ways, there is a call to arms.
A denunciation that can make the great prince completely lose the inheritance right of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Because the Northern Wei state mainly told a big lie!
The eldest prince is not his own son!
The eunuch who sent the seventh golden order took out the secret edict from his arms when he was caught and showed it to the Grand Prince on the spot. When he finished reading it, he directly held the secret Edict and threw himself into the torch!
People are fished out, but the secret edict has been burned to ashes.
There was no chance left for the Grand Prince.
As for this denunciation, it is the same as the Lord of the country wiping a handful of excrement and urine on his face and making himself the laughing stock of everyone in the world.
But he really has the ability to completely kick the Grand Prince out of the order of heirs.
It’s simple.
Another capable person, without blood, is completely useless!
The prince was shocked.
He knows his father.
Know his hard work.
Understand his helplessness.
He felt that he was stronger than his father, more decisive than him, more aware of what a strong man is and more courageous than him.
But now I suddenly found that if I had the courage to break my wrist, I really couldn’t compare with my father.
So for a moment he froze.
Will the great court go back or not?
The news of the collapse of the great king’s court did not come. Obviously, the Xiao family army has not entered the scope of the great king’s court.
But now it’s really time for the survival of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
What is your father going to do?
What does he think?
I would rather perish the Northern Wei Dynasty than move the 400000 northern garrison.
Or… He already has the means to resist the enemy, so he doesn’t have to do so much?
Or even if he died, he didn’t want to use his military power to sit on the throne?
It’s possible!
But no matter which one, it seems that they are not quite right. There are places where they can’t explain clearly and understand.
So what’s going on?
He fell silent.
Shut yourself in the big account of the Chinese army.
One day, two days, until the tenth day, today’s team has had to act, because this is not a place suitable for garrison. 400000 troops and people eat horses and chew, which can not be supplied in such a remote area.
Along the way, all military supplies are obtained from local sources. In addition, there is no good way.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass that supported the 400000 army was not what he could easily allocate at this time.
That is only the right of the king. He is the great prince, but he is not the king after all.
On the eleventh day, he could only pull out the stronghold, but he was confused whether to continue to rush to Da Wangting or go back
He came at a gallop.
The rider directly stumbled and fell off his horse. Before he could get up, he shouted, “the state of Qin… Withdrew!”
