Chapter 857: Lu Dayuan's Hope
The sand table was made very finely. Lu Dayuan was a military general. After only a few glances, he saw clearly that this was the mountains and rivers from Fengxian to Shayang County. He was having fun watching Qin Feng fiddling with the toys formed by the long iron box, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. This toy was made very exquisitely.
"How is it?" Qin Feng asked with a smile at Lu Dayuan with a confused look on his face.
"What Your Majesty likes is of course excellent." Although he didn't understand what this was, Lu Dayuan still praised him against his will.
Qin Feng laughed loudly, pointed to the sand table and said, "General Lu, don't you think he is really a toy, do you?"
"Isn't this a toy?" Lu Dayuan was stunned.
Qin Feng said happily: "Of course not, this is just a model. General Lu, if you enlarge this thing a hundred times a thousand times, what can you see?"
Lu Dayuan narrowed his eyes and imagined the effect of enlarging the box in front of him hundreds of times, with a slight jump in his eyebrows and a little discolored on his face.
"Transport!" He spit out two words with difficulty. If the small boxes connected together are enlarged hundreds and thousands of times, they can hold countless supplies, weapons, and food. Of course, he can also hold people.
"General Lu is indeed powerful, and he can see the mystery at a glance." Qin Feng gave the other party a thumbs up. "It is transportation, not only transporting materials, but also transporting people. I call him a railway. I call him a rail cart. Twenty horses can drag dozens of carriages, and the transportation capacity is comparable to that of thousands of carriages. The most important thing is speed. General Lu. If I build a track from here to Hulao Pass, how much time will it take to use a thousand infantrymen to get there?"
"I don't know." Lu Dayuan shook his head.
"How long have you been running from Hulao Pass?" Qin Feng asked.
"If the horse does not stop, the person does not get off the horse, and the horse does not leave the saddle, it will be possible to arrive in five days, but this is impossible." Lu Dayuan looked at Qin Feng, and he heard Qin Feng's meaning, and was a little disbelief.
"Then, we can deliver a thousand infantry and corresponding supplies there within five days." Qin Feng said proudly. "General Lu, you are a general. What effect do you think this will have on a battle?"
Lu Dayuan took a deep breath: "If this miraculous effect is really available, then Your Majesty can form an absolute advantage in military strength on any battlefield in a very short time."
"That's it!" Qin Feng said affirmatively. "My Ming Dynasty is now weak and lacks military strength. Every time I fight, I have to win in a dangerous situation and make surprises. This is an extremely painful thing for a leader, because if I lose one, I may lose everything."
"But until now, you have always been a winner." Lu Dayuan sighed.
"This is my luck. From ancient times to the present, there is no general who can win every battle. General Lu, do you know what my biggest dream was when I commanded the battle?" Before Lu Dayuan could answer, Qin Feng continued: "That is to use absolute strength to crush him from the front."
Lu Dayuan was a little stunned.
"No need to make plans, no need to think about breaking your mind. Just push it over and smash the enemy!" Qin Feng shook his head, "What a pity, it will take for the Ming Dynasty to reach this day!"
"But your Majesty, if this rail car wants to achieve this effect, it is probably necessary to have a lot of auxiliary facilities. For example, how can these horses be driven to keep running on the road without sleeping?" Lu Dayuan pointed at the sand table and said.
Qin Feng nodded: "Of course, every 100 miles, a post station will be built. This post station is both a station for rail cars and a place to replace horses. Each batch of horses will only be pulled for one hundred miles, and then a horse will be replaced."
"It's such a long carriage, dozens of horses are pulling him to run. And the track is not completely straight, won't it overturn?" Lu Dayuan asked, pointing to the model on the sand table.
"I turned it over many times at the beginning. In more than a year, my masters have solved this problem. Of course, it's not that he will definitely not turn it over, but at least he has basic security." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The emergence of new technologies will always be accompanied by problems of one kind. We will find these problems during use and solve them one by one." Qin Feng smiled and left the sand table and sat in the seat. Lu Dayuan noticed that the chair Qin Feng was sitting on was good with only three legs, and the other leg was tied with a rope.
"Sit down and talk. Guo Jiuling said in the letter, you want to see me!" He pointed to a bench in front of him and signaled Lu Dayuan to sit down. "This time I went to Hulao Pass, do you have any insights? I heard you cried."
"The Qin Dynasty is in danger of life and death, but what I see is not working together, but fighting for power and profit. Everyone is planning their own little plan, thinking about how much benefits they can get, but not thinking about what kind of life will the people of Daqin live?" Lu Dayuan said in pain.
"After walking around the Ming Dynasty, it seems that you have gained a lot!" Qin Feng nodded.
"Yes, the people under the Ming Dynasty are probably the happiest people in the world." Lu Dayuan sighed: "The general came from a poor family and was also a poor family since he was a child. He started from a small soldier step by step with military achievements. However, the days of starving in the past are the deepest memories of my heart."
"A few years ago, many people in our Ming Dynasty were starving. For example, Changyang County, even today, have not recovered." Qin Feng deeply felt the same, "In the city of Shayang County, how many refugees could sell their children and daughters for a bite of food. General Lu, do you know why the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty were so brave on the battlefield?"
"It's because Your Majesty is wise and has a good leadership." Lu Dayuan said.
"Wrong, wrong!" Qin Feng shook his head: "When it comes to placing troops and commanding battles, I may not be as good as you. The reason why the soldiers can sacrifice their lives on the battlefield and the people can destroy their families and go to the national crisis in a dangerous situation is just because I let them eat enough, and I let them see the future clearly and hopefully. The people don't ask for much, but even this simple request may not be achieved. The reason why Qin is so trapped is not just because you are located in a remote west."
Lu Dayuan sighed.
"Your Majesty, if you have the opportunity to become the king of the people of Qin in the future, will you let them live the same life as the people of Ming Dynasty today?" Lu Dayuan asked.
"Of course. Under my rule, I am my people." Qin Feng nodded solemnly. "Now the Great Qin Dynasty is probably a candle in the wind. If there is a slight storm, it will destroy him. Deng fell down with a bang. Bian is now eyeing Qinghe County, intending to make a comeback. The royal family wants to retain power and spare no effort to suppress the generals with their own troops. Xiao Qiang holds his own troops and hopes to become Deng Hong. I can assert that the civil war between Qin is not far away."
"Civil war? Not that's right?" Lu Dayuan murmured.
"Tian Kang, come and tell General Lu about the current situation of Qin State!" Qin Feng waved to let Tian Kang come over.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tian Kang walked over and looked at Lu Dayuan and said, "General Lu, according to the information we possessed in the Eagle Nest, Dai Shulun has never stopped his activities. Judging from all the signs, he seemed to want to rescue Deng Hong from Yongdu and escape back to Qingzhou County, where to regain the troops."
"This, is this possible?" Lu Dayuan said in shock.
"Of course it's impossible." Tian Kang said: "The Ma family and son are not stupid. Deng Hong wants to leave Yongdu unless he dies, but Dai Shulun is like a madman now. We can be sure that he has taken action. Lu must conceal Qingzhou County and has 30,000 troops in his hand. The person Dai Shulun is going to deal with is Xiao Qiang. He has a fancy to the 50,000 elite soldiers in Xiao Qiang's hand."
"How could he move Xiao Qiang?" Lu Dayuan shook his head.
"We don't know what he will do now, but what is certain is that Xiao Qiang's proposal to marry Deng Shu for his son is part of Dai Shulun's plan." Tian Kangdao. "We conducted an in-depth investigation into this, and the final conclusion was that Qin would fall into a large-scale civil war. At that time, it would not only be a battle between the border troops and the royal family, but I am afraid that Bian Wushuang would also join in."
"Bian Wushuang?"
"Yes, Bian Wushuang has sent people to see An Ruhai. Three days ago, a 10,000-strong army in the Western Chu State had left its base and entered the Luoying Mountains. But their target was not Qin, but wanted to cross the Luoying Mountains and attack the Qi State's land." Tian Kang said with a smile.
"Crossing through the Luoying Mountains? A troops of tens of thousands of people?" Lu Dayuan opened his mouth wide, "Isn't this a suicide attempt?"
"The Luoying Mountains are not impossible to pass through. Back then, I escaped to Luoying County in Qi. Now it seems that the Chu people are going to retake the old path I took back then. As for whether they live or die, I am afraid An Ruhai doesn't care? As long as they appear in Qi, it will be his victory. For us, this is not the point. The point is, why did An Ruhai dare to send a unit of ten thousand people to Jinji Pass?"
"Of course, he had already had some agreement with Bian Wushuang. He knew that Bian Wushuang had no intention of causing trouble for him at this moment, so An Ruhai dared to send an army to attack Qi State in surprise and create opportunities for the main force in the eastern part of the Chu people."
"Since it was a surprise attack, how did you get such confidential information?" Lu Dayuan asked strangely.
