Chapter 71 This guy is really a lucky star!
The next day...
Wang Li came to Zhao Si excitedly and grabbed Zhao Si's arm.
"Brother! Good! Great good!"
"The results are out?" Zhao Si saw Wang Li's excited look and knew what was going on.
"The saddle is a great improvement for the cavalry! The horseshoe should not be underestimated either! Look!" After saying that, Wang Li handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Zhao Si.
Zhao Si took the bamboo slip, which contained the comparative data report that Wang Li had produced early this morning.
With the addition of stirrup saddles, the range of cavalry bows and arrows has been greatly increased, short weapons with one hand have been transformed into long weapons with both hands, and the cavalry's riding skills have been greatly improved in disguise.
The benefits of horseshoes are also very obvious. You will know by holding the horse for a while. If the horseshoes are not broken, the wear and tear of the war horse's hoofs will be pitiful. This greatly increases the service life and long-distance travel distance of the war horse.
It was just a rough estimate before, but after getting the actual test, Wang Li was so happy that he couldn't find the answer.
"Brother! You are going to be promoted again!" Wang Li looked at Zhao Si with bright eyes, congratulations in his eyes.
"Then I won't be able to wear it any more in the future?" Zhao Si smiled and touched the crown on his head. He always felt that this thing was not strong enough to be wrapped in a towel.
A three-piece suit immediately...it is one of the inventions that changed the history of ancient wars across the ages!
The cavalry before and after the birth of the three-piece horse suit were completely two arms.
Wang Li compiled all the comparative data and reported it directly to the First Emperor.
…
"Your Majesty, Lantian reports." Meng Yi pulled out a bamboo slip and handed it to the First Emperor.
The Lantian camp has a special location, and Zhao Si was paid a lot of attention by the First Emperor, so it was normal for Meng Yi to take it out separately when sorting it out.
Upon hearing this, the First Emperor took the bamboo slips.
Now that the world is settled, apart from necessary reports and summaries, Lantian rarely makes any independent memorials.
And when mentioning Lantian now, the First Emperor would always subconsciously think of Zhao Si. Zhao Si was in Lantian, and three new grains were grown in Lantian.
When I opened the memorial, it was not beyond the First Emperor's expectation. At a glance, I saw the words "Zhao Si" at the beginning.
Wang Li is an honest man.
Not only did Zhao Si's contribution not be ignored, but he even wrote a special book about it. The word "Zhao Si" appeared very frequently in the entire memorial, and he spared no effort to praise his brothers.
Writing memorials is an art.
As Wang Li writes like this, it is not an exaggeration to say that this friendship is a fateful one.
"Wang Li..." The First Emperor laughed dumbly.
The First Emperor didn't know how to describe Wang Li for a while. Wang Li's purpose of seeking welfare for Zhao Si was too obvious, and he was too honest.
Generally speaking, few people would write memorials like this.
The First Emperor smiled and continued reading.
Three piece set now!
Regardless of Wang Li's efforts to show his face to Zhao Si, Wang Li's reporting skills are still acceptable.
Comparing before and after, one can imagine how much the three-piece horse suit has improved the cavalry.
The First Emperor was not ignorant of war, but after reading it, the First Emperor even felt a little calm in his heart.
Maybe Zhao Si brought too much good news?
From returning from the sea, to the curved plow, to the salt-drying method, to three new grains, to the world map...
Now, at the time of spring and summer, the Xiongnu went against the norm and planned to kill them all.
The saddle and horseshoe just popped out of Zhao Si's hand.
Well...the timing is perfect.
"Look..." The First Emperor felt a kind of calm joy in his heart and handed the bamboo slip to Meng Yi. Zhao Si seemed to have been linked to the good news.
Meng Yi took the bamboo slips, and what he saw was Wang Li's extolling the flow of music, and he also laughed dumbly.
"Zhao Si would like to thank Wang Li." Meng Yi gave his own evaluation.
Wang Li can be regarded as Zhao Si's temporary superior, and Zhao Si himself is not qualified to issue memorials.
Leaders like this who spare no effort to benefit their subordinates are not easy to do, whether in ancient times or modern times.
Ignoring Wang Li's key points, Meng Yi looked directly at it, with a smile on his originally calm face.
As Meng Tian's brother, how could Meng Yi not care about the Huns?
After seeing the specific data on the practical application of the three-piece set, I immediately thought of my brother Meng Tian who was far away in Longxi.
Moreover, the only battlefields opened by the Qin Dynasty are Baiyue and Longxi. The Baiyue area is full of mosquitoes and miasma in the deep mountains and old forests. It is almost difficult for cavalry and chariots to be used. If they are used, the improvement will not be much.
Only Longxi is different.
"Now that the Great Wall is about to be built, the Huns cannot go east or west. It is time to go south. With this precious weapon, the Huns can be defeated in one battle!"
The Huns are now a bit like a fly trapped in a glass bottle, bumping into walls everywhere. No matter how far they go south, it will be a bit like breaking the bottle. In short, they can't move, and they can't move.
Originally, Da Qin's attack on the Xiongnu could be regarded as crushing them.
The Xiongnu have only just established themselves and have not destroyed the Donghu Yuezhi unified grassland, while the Qin Dynasty has just unified the world and is at the peak of its military power.
The first time the Xiongnu faced off against the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian defeated him in a direct battle.
Great Qin, a great victory!
With the three-piece suit on horseback...it's hard to imagine how the Xiongnu, who were not so powerful, could face the Qin army.
The weapons and equipment of the Huns were not as good as those of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin cavalry was the best cavalry in the world. Not to mention the logistics and food, it was hard to say whether the Huns could have enough to eat.
With so many disadvantages already, adding another three-piece set of war horses...
Meng Yi was very happy, after all, it was related to the brothers' inheritance.
The three-piece set immediately is not only useful for the Xiongnu, but also for the Donghu Yueshi.
Daqin's long-term strategic goal is not just a mere Hetao area.
The expansion of northern Xinjiang is related to the enfeoffment of princes!
"It's just a pity that such a treasure is too light and easy to make!"
Meng Yi sighed.
Wang Li sent a real object, and Meng Yi could tell it was exquisite at a glance. Unfortunately, it was too simple.
It's too easy to imitate, let alone the other party seizing the real thing, even if they take a few glances and suffer a loss, they may be able to find clues.
There are really no technical barriers to this thing.
"That's enough." The First Emperor smiled, with sharp eyes.
What makes Qin stronger than the rest of the world is never the cleverness of its inventions, but its powerful productivity.
Han Nu was once famous all over the world, but what was its use? After it was imitated and learned by Qin, it became Qin's help in unifying the world.
The three-piece set immediately seems simple, but it is not that easy for Huns to mass-produce it on a large scale.
Even for the Donghu and Yuezhi who have been established for a long time, it is not that simple.
During this period, no matter where the three-piece horse suit was invented in the surrounding areas, the cheapest one would be Daqin.
"It's indeed enough..." Meng Yi laughed.
Da Qin's powerful productivity was enough to take advantage of the first-mover advantage of the three-piece horse suit to keep the grassland barbarians hanging and beaten for several years.
"This kid is really a lucky star!" Meng Yi sighed with a smile.
It can be said that Zhao Si alone accounts for most of the good news in recent days.
The First Emperor did not speak, but there was a smile in his eyes.
