Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 232 Returning to the World

Speaking of the role played by the cavalry this time, it must be worthy of the praise of the word "beautiful". Meng Tian and Wang Ben blocked Sima Shang's breakthrough with only [-] cavalry, and Zhou Chong only relied on [-] cavalry. He raided Handan for a long distance, successfully captured Handan, and survived King Zhao.This was something that was unthinkable in the past, even great military strategists such as Wei Liao, and famous generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Wu were also greatly surprised. When King Qin proposed, everyone responded enthusiastically.

Nei Shi Teng's character was rather anxious, and he was the first to speak, saying: "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything, this cavalry is really amazing. The use of cavalry has a successful precedent in the Great Qin Kingdom. During the Changping War, Bai Qi The general once used cavalry to pierce the hole, but it was done when there were camps and supplies. The cavalry led by Mr. Zhou dared to break away from the main force and did not need supplies. It is a miracle. Your Majesty, I think that Daqin should vigorously develop cavalry, if there are 20 or [-] elite cavalry, that would be great." I want to say that the eyes are brighter.

Wang Jian was much more pragmatic than Nei Shiteng, and said: "Your Majesty, what General Nei Shi said is not unreasonable, but I think that if you want cavalry, you must have horses. If you don't have horses, how can you get cavalry? Although my Great Qin wants to have a large number of cavalry, But this horse restricts the great development of cavalry."

Meng Wu sighed and said: "In the past, we mainly used cavalry for assault. We launched attacks in unexpected ways and in unexpected places at unexpected times and places to achieve tactical goals. There is no precedent for attacking strategic goals like this time. The role of the cavalry in this battle has been brought into full play, and it has pointed out a direction for Daqin to govern the army in the future. The cavalry is an indispensable and important part, and we should make great efforts to develop the cavalry."

I personally think that the Western Han Dynasty was the golden age of cavalry in Chinese history. In order to defeat the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han formed a large number of cavalry, and carried out large-scale deep penetration, detours, and outflanking of the Huns, and finally achieved the strategic goal of defeating the Huns.

The cavalry played a huge role in later generations, but in the Warring States period, its role was not obvious, and it was still in an auxiliary position.With this example of large-scale use of cavalry in combat, the eyes of famous generals like Wang Jianmengwu suddenly brightened. Their vision to raise cavalry to a directional unit is really unique, and Zhou Chong admired it very much in his heart.

Wang Ben couldn't help it anymore, and said: "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to act with the cavalry. I think the advantage of the cavalry lies in mobility. Our operation this time has made good use of this advantage. I think that if Daqin has If you have [-] elite cavalry, you will have an unrivaled advantage in future wars, and you can strike at certain vital points of the enemy according to your fighters."

Meng Tian nodded in agreement and said: "The king's words are reasonable, and Meng Tian also thinks so. A four-legged horse can run faster than a two-legged man, and has a long endurance, which is convenient for long-distance mobile operations. It should be vigorously developed."

The king of Qin was very excited when he said to them, "This battle, if Daqin has tens of thousands of such elite cavalry, then this battle will be much easier to fight. But, where are the widows going to get such a cavalry?" Thomas?"

This problem is real, and it stumped everyone all of a sudden, and the original joy disappeared all of a sudden.

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhou Chong has a plan to make Da Qin have endless horses."

Everyone was very annoyed. When they heard this, they all looked at Zhou Chong in surprise, as if Zhou Chong was the savior.The King of Qin couldn't help being a little excited, and said: "Mr. Zhou, tell me quickly."

Zhou Chong spoke out the plan that had been conceived long ago, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thinks that horse administration can be implemented in Daqin."

"Ma Zheng?" King Qin clapped his hands together and said, "It's a good idea, but how to implement it, Mr. Zhou, please be more specific."

Zhou Chong continued: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thinks that there are two sources of horses, one is official horses and the other is private horses. Of course, the official horses are paid by the government to set up horse farms in places with abundant water and grass, and send people to specialize in them. No matter, if you put those mares and stallions with good breeds in the stocking, within a few years, you can breed a lot of good horses."

The king of Qin nodded and said: "I, Da Qin, have already set up a racecourse. It's just that I didn't realize the importance of the cavalry before. This racecourse is a bit chilling for the widow. The widow immediately ordered Han Fei to set up some more large horses. Racecourse. Mr. Zhou, what about private horses?"

Zhou Chong replied: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for the government alone to have an inexhaustible supply of horses in Daqin, so it is necessary to encourage the people to raise horses. Farmers who raise horses can get tax relief or corvee labor. Or the government will give money rewards, so that within ten years, the people will be full of horses, and the king will have as many horses as he wants to form cavalry."

The king of Qin clapped his hands and praised: "It's a good idea, let's implement it immediately. By the way, the farmer has a horse, which can also reduce a lot of burdens. Isn't it better to use a horse to carry it? It's just that the breed of the horse It must be uniform, not varied and uneven, and the widows will select excellent horse breeds and send them to the people, Mr. Zhou, do you think this is a good idea?"

This is the icing on the cake, a very good idea, Zhou Chong had to obey his flexible mind, and said: "The king is Shengming, it should be like this, Zhou Chong has nothing else to say except admiration."

The King of Qin pointed at Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't say nice things. If it weren't for you, I would not have thought of this. In the future, the cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty will gallop the world, and Mr. Zhou's strength will be there!"

Zhou Chong's proposal was not his initiative, but a reprint of the famous Ma Zheng in the Western Han Dynasty.Friends who are familiar with history know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty formed a huge cavalry corps, and these cavalry corps achieved amazing results. Huo Qubing used 1000 cavalry to open up the Hexi Corridor and defeated the Huns' 24 troops.

The most fascinating thing is the "Decisive Battle in Mobei". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invested 14 elite cavalry, 30 official horses, and private horses, and dispatched a total of more than [-] horses. Never recovered.

Assuming that there was no famous horse administration in the Western Han Dynasty, how could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have been able to form so many cavalry regiments, and then epic songs such as "Shan Yu Ye escaped" and "Sealing the Wolf and Living in Xu" would not have appeared.

Zhou Chong was familiar with the historical facts, and he was very familiar with these. He seized the opportunity to give King Qin such an idea, which laid a solid foundation for the large-scale formation of cavalry and the innovation of tactics, which had a far-reaching impact.

"Mr. Liaozi, is there any more?" King Qin asked.

Wei Liao replied: "Sixth, Liaozi thought it was a new weapon. The trebuchet and Zhou Gong's crossbow played a good role in this battle."

The King of Qin smiled and said: "Mr. Liaozi also thinks the same way. Summarizing experience and lessons is one of the purposes of inviting you here. Winning a battle does not mean everything will be all right. Only two of the six kingdoms have been destroyed. There are four, what should I do next, and listening to your suggestions is another purpose for the widow to invite you here. If you have any ideas, please speak freely."
