The defeat is irreversible.

Wang Ling stood on the left and right, facing the soldiers of Li Yuan's army who were in a fierce fighting spirit, the low-spirited Liu army soldiers only resisted for a while, and then fled without being defeated.

Unlike Qi Ji's unreserved efforts, Wang Ling, who had doubts about the smooth battle at the beginning, at least he left some capital to save himself for his life.

The soldiers who followed Wang Ling from Hanzhong protected Wang Ling from Chencang and returned to Lantian. More than 4,000 generals and soldiers finally fled back under the pursuit of Li Yuanjun. This made Wang Ling feel sad when he saw Zhou Ying, the general who was stationed in Lantian Pass.

Li Yuan won a great victory.

In this battle, in just ten days, the invading Liu army soldiers were wiped out in total, and the enemy generals and generals and generals were killed, including 21 people, including three Qiang barbarian generals. Among them, only Wang Ling and four others escaped.

After obtaining the Chencang Victory, Li Yuan rushed to Jiang Shui and Ji Shui without stopping. The Qiang tribes in these two places were deceived by Qi Ji and launched a rebellion. Now, it is time for the Qiang people to suffer the consequences.

In May, Li Yuan led his army to sweep across the Liangshui River Basin. The Jiang tribe resisted stubbornly, but was killed by the entire Li Yuan army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji sent the elders of the clan to Yongzhou to talk to Xiang, which preserved the inheritance of the whole lineage.

In the face of Li Yuanjun's unkind and ruthless iron-blooded sweep, all the Qiang tribes that did not surrender were exterminated. Faced with Li Yuan's retaliatory killing, the tribes who saw the opportunity rolled up their tents early and moved westward. Those who were reluctant to leave and did not want to surrender and surrender, the Qiang men were killed and the women acted as maids.

The battle between nations for the right to survive and land rights has always been bloody and naked. On this point, Li Yuan advocated not the practice of integrating softness like later generations, but the ruthless iron blood and conquest.

Be obedient and let you survive.

If you are disobedient, then you will completely erase it. This is the law of survival in this world.

The competition is extremely cruel.

If you don’t want to fall behind or be killed, you must be cold and be able to take the butcher knife.

When the Qiang people were defeated, Yongzhou, Shanggua and Wugong counties were owned by Li Yuan. With the power of an example, the young man who migrated from the Guanzhong area began to cultivate, sow seeds, sprinkle hopes, and look forward to harvesting fruits in the future.

Unlike sowing millet and millet in previous years, this year, under Li Yuan's insistence, the grain crops sown by the people in Yongzhou were wheat that had just been piloted and promoted.

The earliest wheat planting began in the Middle East, introduced to China and was promoted during the Warring States Period. After the Qin unified the six kingdoms, the area of ​​wheat planting in the Guanzhong Plain has expanded significantly compared to the past. However, since the wheat fruits are slurry, if you want to grind it into powder, you need a stone plate for grinding wheat.

Compared with other complex inventions, it is not difficult for Li Yuan to make a stone plate with grinding. There were enough craftsmen who retreated from Xianyang to Yongzhou. They naturally would not have any idea of ​​resisting Li Yuan's proposal. In fact, it is the honor of the craftsmen to be able to do something for Li Yuan, the great hero who turned the tide of Qin.

Qishan, West.

Soldier creation.

The most talented and capable group of craftsmen in the Qin State gathered. Some county craftsmen withdrew from Luoyang, plus more than 200 craftsmen built by the Xianyang army, rekindled firewood and smelted iron in Qishan.

The craftsmen of military creation are generally divided into four categories: master craftsmen, craftsmen, craftsmen, and craftsmen. The distinction is measured by the level of technology, and it is absolutely impossible to fake this aspect.

They are unknown, and the only place to leave their names is to burn the year, number and their own name on the weapon. This is not to show off, but to prevent quality problems from being unrecovered.

In the huge war machine of Qin, the role of military creation plays an extraordinary role. Its existence gave millions of Qin troops a unified weapon and a unified equipment. This gave the Qin army a greater sense of honor and a stronger desire to win in the battle with the Sixth Team of Guandong.

One day in mid-May, under the personal guidance of Li Yuan, the soldiers-made stonemason began to make a strange stone millstone.

According to Li Yuan's account, the stone rotating plate he saw was superimposed with two large and small stone plates chiseled into circles. Then the center of the stone plate was dug into a spherical shape, and a solid stone sphere was installed on the central axis, and several funnel-shaped holes were drilled on the small stone plate. In this way, when the wheat ying fruit in the bamboo tube above fell from the small hole, under the squeeze of the two stone plates, the ying fruit shell was squeezed, and the powdery kernel inside was squeezed out of the outside of the stone plate bit by bit.

When November is ripe in the first season of spring wheat, the people of Yongzhou can use a rotating stone plate to grind the wheat into flour and spread the large cakes made with wheat fruit flour. After several years, it is also the main food for northerners. For Li Yuan, this is a rare delicacy that reminisces about "hometown".

After giving some advice to the stonemason, there were craftsmen to polish the details, so there was no need for a layman Li Yuan to say anything more. Accompanied by Sima Yin, Li Yuan then went to the workshop to build weapons.

Mo Shi is a young craftsman in the military building.

Like other craftsmen, they entered the craftsmanship. Generally speaking, they were passed down from generation to generation, and they passed on the technology to the next generation, and then to the grandson's generation.

If you count Mo Shi's ancestors, they are famous. Ou Yezi, a famous swordsman in the Spring and Autumn Period, was his ancestor, Gan Jiang and Mo Yeye, two famous swordsman, were his great-great-grandparents. With the frequent wars and after several generations of inheritance, the Mo Shi clan began to migrate from the Jiangnan area to Guanzhong, and eventually became a member of the famous Qin army.

There are many craftsmen who have similar experiences to Mo Shi in military construction. For craftsmen, a stable environment, sufficient raw materials, and good treatment are their primary considerations.

Not every craftsman will sacrifice his life like a general or Mo Ye. Ordinary people are more concerned about living a good life.

Mo Shi was holding a ring-headed sword in his hand. At the handle and the blade rolled up, there was already a little charred. This was the trace of the burning fire.

After Jiang Cong died, the ring-headed sword was captured by the Qin army. Such a sharp weapon, as the most important spoil, was solemnly sent to Li Yuan by Meng Hu. For Meng Hu, this battle was fully fought, sweeping away the shadow of failure a few months ago. Compared with revitalizing the confidence of the soldiers of the border army, a sharp weapon is nothing.

"Master Mo, look, can this knife be re-trained and formed?" Li Yuan, accompanied by Sima Yin, had just inspected the newly built craftsmanship workshop. After learning that Mo Shi was Mo Ye and became a descendant, he ordered someone to send the ring-headed sword over.

Mo Shi had a cold face and was disrespectful smile. His eyes were tightly nailed to the deformed sword in his hand: "Relive the smelting, plus more than 20 kilograms of good iron and stone, it may be done, but there is a 60% chance of damage."

"In this way, let this knife be placed at Master Mo first, and wait for the iron stone to be found before forging." Li Yuan nodded. Mo Shi did not speak loudly, and the 60% chance of damage was real. Compared with the melting pot of later generations, the form of the handicraft workshop has too many uncertainties in terms of temperature, time, and spirit of the craftsman.

As far as Li Yuan knows, there are almost no large iron ore in Yongzhou in Neishi County. The closest iron ore to Yongzhou is the Zhashui mine located in Lantian County. Zhashui is located south of the Qinling Mountains and is currently occupied by Liu Bang's army. As for the Shanggua area, there are not many rich iron ore. On the western border of Qin, the real large iron ore must cross the river and be separated along the corridor to the west.
