Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 138
The Qin army had an army of 60, and the tents alone stretched for more than ten miles.Under Wang Jian's order, no matter how the Chu army was mobilized and deployed, they stood firm on the barriers.

It seems that pulling these 60 people here is just to scare people at the border.

60 people are stationed here, even if they don’t do anything, the food and grass consumed every day is an astronomical figure. One of the important reasons why Zhao Guo couldn’t wait to fight the Qin army during the Changping War was that Zhao Guo The national strength can no longer afford the food and drink of these hundreds of thousands of troops.

However, for the Qin State, eating in a short period of time is not a problem for the time being. Since Shang Yang's reform, the word "farming war" has become the national policy of the Qin State, and the high emphasis on agriculture has even been refined to different crops. There are regulations on how many seeds need to be sown.

Moreover, the iron farm tools that the Qin people engaged in agricultural production were also rationed by the government. If they were broken, they could be replaced directly from the government.

Of course, most of the output in the field was also used as military rations by the government.

It was this series of measures that laid a relatively sufficient foundation for the Qin army's southern and northern wars over the years.

After the Qin State implemented the military merit system, what the soldiers ate was completely determined by the status of the title to determine the dietary standard.For example, the third-level Jue Zanyou has a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, and a plate of vegetable soup every day.Those with two ranks of titles can only eat coarse rice, and ordinary soldiers without titles generally can only fill their stomachs.

However, in Pingyu, under Wang Jian's order, the food grade of the Qin army was directly raised to a higher level. Even ordinary soldiers without titles can eat a certain amount of fine grain every day, and from time to time, a lot of shredded meat can be found in the porridge , so that the daily training of soldiers is even more dedicated.

Many generals in the Qin army didn't understand Wang Jian's strategy that he couldn't stick to, and they all asked Wang Jian to send troops to the south.

Eat well and sleep well every day, and the soldiers have nothing else to do except training.In ancient times, there were not as many entertainment activities as in modern times, and there were military regulations in the barracks, and many recreational activities were not allowed to be presumptuous.

The energy of the soldiers had nowhere to vent, and the stone-throwing scene started quietly in some military camp, and then quickly spread to all the camps of the Qin Army.

Seeing this, Wang Jianziying not only refused to prohibit it, but vigorously advocated it, ordering that each battalion will have more than a dozen winners every day, and they can have a plate of meat soup and a jug of wine for two meals the next day.

You must know that being able to eat meat can basically be said to be the treatment of nobles in this era. In some classics, "meat eaters" have even become synonymous with powerful nobles.

As for the wine, apart from giving out a jug before going into battle, if the soldiers want to drink it on weekdays, sorry, they can buy it out of their own pockets.

This order aroused all the soldiers to strive for strength, and the wind of throwing stones became more prevalent in the army. After a period of time, the distance of basically all soldiers throwing stones increased, and the stones used were more and more. getting heavier.

Qin people are warlike, because only through war can they obtain titles and farms. Every soldier who goes to war basically has the idea that he can change the life of his family through the head of the enemy on the battlefield.

However, since arriving in Pingyu, although life is "good" every day, there is no chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. After a long time, every soldier of the Qin army has held back his strength, wishing to immediately cross his sword and hold his halberd to attack Chu. .

PS: Today I wrote a day’s materials during the day, and at night Kawenka is very good. I wrote more than 1000 words in one night, and there is a lot of nonsense. I can only post these first. I will try my best tomorrow. Sorry readers.
