Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

God Arm Crossbow, the king of crossbows.

In the Song Dynasty, the Shenbi Crossbow was a famous weapon and was hailed as the best in the world.

The Shenbi Crossbow is light and easy to carry. It can be used with one or two hands. It can be fired while moving quickly to attack the enemy by surprise. With a range of more than 300 steps, it is a powerful weapon on the battlefield and a favorite of assassins.

However, compared with the Qin crossbow, the Shenbi crossbow is still far inferior.

The Qin crossbow was one of the most powerful weapons during the Warring States Period, with extremely strong lethality.

What Lin Anlan has to do now is to make these dozen parts and assemble them into the Shenbi Crossbow.

However, it is easier said than done.

The core of the Shenbi crossbow is the crossbow mechanism. The internal structure of this thing is relatively complicated. If it is made according to the standards of the Qin crossbow, it will probably be difficult to popularize it in the Qin Dynasty.

And, it's not necessary.

What Lin Anlan needs to do is to use Daqin’s existing technical conditions to simplify the process.

For example, the spring can be made directly from bronze, which will increase the weight a little but is simpler.

Lin Anlan drew these parts one by one on paper, then sat in a chair and studied them carefully.

The principle of the Shenbi crossbow is not complicated, but the craftsmanship is complicated. If you want to mass-produce it, you must simplify the process, otherwise even the best craftsmen in the Qin Dynasty will not be able to replicate it.

The Qin crossbow of the Qin Dynasty has a maximum range of six hundred steps, while the Shenbi crossbow has a range of only over three hundred steps.

However, the Shenbi Crossbow also has advantages that the Qin Crossbow does not have.

The crossbow is easy to operate, and ordinary people can use it proficiently with a little training. It is also small and easy to carry. Most importantly, the crossbow can be used as an assassin's hunting weapon, giving the user more tactical options.

This advantage is not possessed by the Qin crossbow.

Therefore, Lin Anlan decided to make a batch first to test the effect.

Time passed slowly, and before he knew it, it was already late at night. Lin Anlan stopped what he was doing and looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling.

She stretched, stood up and stretched her muscles.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted."

Lin Anlan twisted his neck, making a crackling sound.

"Let's do it tomorrow." He muttered and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Lin Anlan closed his eyes, and the topographic map appeared in his mind again.

The Yuezhi is only the first step. After defeating the Yuezhi, we will go to Fusang to find some gold mines. Then we will go to fight the Donghu and try to conquer them completely before autumn.

After a series of wars, the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty will reach their peak, and then it will send envoys to other forces to force them to surrender.

If you don't surrender, then fight!

Lin Anlan felt that the knowledge he currently possessed was enough to support Daqin's continuous conquests.

As for the problem of food and fodder, that is easier to solve.

The territory of the Qin Empire has vast plains and fertile land, all of which can be used to grow food. With the current productivity level of the Qin Empire, it is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people.

Moreover, the Qin could also adopt the strategy of fighting to support the war, using local resources to reduce the losses of the Qin. The so-called fighting to support the war means that every time a city is conquered, the wealth in the city is plundered to support the army.

Although this method is a bit cruel, it is the safest one.

After all, war is to seize resources. If even basic resources cannot be guaranteed, what is the point of fighting? As long as the national strength of the Qin Dynasty is strong enough, it can realize its ambition to conquer the world.

The next morning, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds were heard outside the imperial city. War horses galloped past, raising a large amount of dust.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border."

A messenger rushed into the imperial city on horseback and headed straight for the Qilin Palace, shouting, "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, the war with the Yue clan is urgent!"

The messenger galloped past, and the guards along the way gave way.

Soon, the messenger arrived in front of the Qilin Hall, dismounted from his horse, and hurried up.

"Open the city gate quickly!"

The messenger held up a jade tablet and shouted, "Urgent news from the border, must be delivered to Your Majesty immediately."

Hearing this, the guard at the city gate dared not stop them and hurriedly opened the city gate to let them pass.

In the Qilin Hall, Ying Zheng was discussing matters with his ministers when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border."

As the voice fell, a soldier in armor rushed in, knelt on the ground, holding a memorial in both hands.

"Read it." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"promise!"

The soldier responded and then opened the memorial and began to read it.

After a moment, Ying Zheng's expression changed, and his eyes revealed deep excitement.

Feng Jie, Zhang Han and others all widened their eyes, filled with anxiety.

"How is it?" Feng Jie swallowed and asked tremblingly.

"Great victory." Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up, saying excitedly, "My Great Qin army has defeated the Yuezhi barbarians. The entire Yuezhi has been controlled by my Great Qin!"

"Hi~!"

Upon hearing the news, Feng Jie and others all gasped, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"General Wang Jian led the Qin army and completely captured the Yue clan! No one in the Qin army was killed! Only more than a hundred people were slightly injured!"

Ying Zheng's voice spread throughout the Qilin Hall, and everyone was stunned.

Yuezhi, that was Yuezhi's home ground! The Qin army could actually achieve such a record in the opponent's home ground, how terrifying is this? What's more, the Qin army only had 100,000 troops, while Yuezhi had 600,000 troops.

60 against 10, and they were completely wiped out!

This battle is enough to go down in history!

"How can this be?"

Feng Jie's face was filled with dullness, and he muttered, "The population of Yuezhi is at least one million, right? Even if the Qin army is so powerful, it is impossible to annihilate an army of 60 in one fell swoop!"

"It's surrender." Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Jie and said lightly.

"surrender?"

Feng Jie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes! How could I forget that the King of Yuezhi is dead, and they are leaderless. They have no way to resist the army of Daqin, and can only choose to surrender."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and continued, "The Yuezhi had a population of 800,000, 100,000 of whom died in the battle, leaving 400,000 able-bodied men, all of whom are under the control of our Great Qin."

"Four hundred thousand able-bodied men!"

Feng Jie and others were shaking with excitement.

You know, in ancient times, human resources were the most valuable asset. With people, we could farm, mine, and build cities...

These 400,000 able-bodied men are definitely a huge fortune!

"Lord Feng."

Ying Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said in a deep voice: "I order you to set off for Yuezhi immediately, occupy Yuezhi completely, build the Great Wall, and open up mines!"

"Yes!" Feng Jie bowed and accepted the order.

"The rest of you, my dear ministers." Ying Zheng looked around and said in a deep voice, "For the 100,000 soldiers who participated in the war, each family will be rewarded with 100 gold coins for their parents, wives and children, 100 acres of good land, three years of tax exemption, double the military pay, and everyone will be promoted one level!"

"In addition, from today onwards, all the men of Daqin who join the army will be granted land according to their military merits. The higher the military merits, the more land they will be granted. If they can be made a marquis or a general in the future, I will allow them to split the land and be crowned king!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.

At this moment, a raging fire rose in everyone's heart. The four words "Splitting the Land and Seal King" seemed to have magic power, deeply attracting everyone.

From then on, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army would increase dramatically, because every soldier knew that as long as he fought bravely and made great achievements, he would have the opportunity to become a king.

Being granted a title of nobility or appointed as a general, this is what many people dream of!
