Chapter 94 Cavalry as a Deadly Weapon, Establishing the Capital in Chang'an
After Zhao Long finished speaking, he noticed that the tent had fallen into an eerie silence.
Many members of the Mo family, who had been smiling, fell silent.
Wei Liao took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Ahem, this is Xiang Liyao, the current Grand Master of Qin Mo."
Xiang Liyao is a little confused now. So this is how Qin Mo interpreted the Mohist slogan, which supported the Qin's war of unification and wanted to unify the world?
Universal love and non-aggression—doesn't that mean being full of benevolence and love, influencing people without using aggressive means?
How come it was understood this way when it came to the Qin Dynasty?
But Xiangli Yao actually found Zhao Long's words to be very reasonable!
Qin Mo's ideal is to prevent the centuries-old wars in the world from continuing.
If there were a unified and powerful nation, even if many people died in this war of unification, it would not be more than the number of deaths in hundreds of years of chaotic warfare.
The sins are committed in this era, but the merits will last for generations.
This is true love!
For this reason, Qin Mo has always been ostracized by the other major lineages of the Mo family.
But now, Xiang Liyao has realized that they are the true inheritors of the Mohist school!
"To annex a country you like, you must launch a large-scale attack!"
That makes perfect sense. It turns out that people have always misunderstood the Mohists. Only this prince of Qin truly understood their philosophy.
Xiangli Yao immediately bowed with utmost respect and said, "Xiangli Yao greets the young master. I am willing to return to Qin and serve Qin. Qin Mo swears to be loyal to Qin to the death."
Xiangli Yao has always felt somewhat guilty towards the Mo family's legacy. He doesn't know what he should do now that he has inherited Qin Mo's legacy and is facing the current chaos in the Great Qin Dynasty.
His ancestors were on good terms with Wei Liao. When they heard that Wei Liao had returned, they sent someone back to see him. Unexpectedly, they found the Qin Dynasty teeming with life.
He was intrigued and wanted to see for himself the Qin Dynasty. What should he do now?
Now that he's met Zhao Long, he's figured it out!
To create a country filled with love and free from war, all you need to do is use the most powerful means to ruthlessly destroy anyone who wants to continue the war.
All the Mohist techniques he learned were for the purpose of the Qin Dynasty's resurgence.
Look at how chaotic the world became after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
Only the Great Qin can save this corrupt world.
Qin loved the world and saved the common people with great love; he was the one the Mohists should truly support.
"It is a great fortune for Qin that you have been able to return to Qin..."
Zhao Long immediately spoke with great excitement, his eyes gleaming.
These were the most pragmatic group among the various schools of thought during the intellectual clashes of the Hundred Schools of Thought period.
Qin Mo's contributions to the Qin Dynasty are absolutely unparalleled.
Take, for example, the famous Qin crossbow, which was made by Qin Mo.
There are also Qin chariots and iron weapons that were the first to become widespread in war, all of which are closely related to Qin Mo.
"A while ago, I just ordered the reconstruction of the Great Qin Crafts Bureau, and Mr. Xiangli's return was just in time."
"Everyone, take a look. This is the sketch I drew. Sir, when can it be completed?"
Zhao Long certainly didn't know those fancy things; what he was drawing was a stirrup and a horseshoe!
Warhorses are divine weapons.
With the cavalry sent by the kind-hearted Xiang Yu, Lü Matong originally had two thousand elite cavalry and four thousand warhorses under his command. With the addition of the three thousand cavalry and six thousand warhorses brought back this time, that makes a total of ten thousand horses.
Besides these, there was another figure, Liu Bang, who surpassed even the most virtuous people and was comparable to a saint, constantly burning himself out to strengthen the Qin army.
The three thousand cavalrymen were not as elite as the Chu army; they were basically one man and one horse.
These warhorses were also in the hands of the Qin army.
Including the horses remaining from the horse-breeding grounds in Longxi, the Qin army now has more than 20,000 fine warhorses.
Zhao Long naturally wanted to build a powerful and unparalleled cavalry force.
Whether the Qin state was expanding eastward or northward, it always relied heavily on cavalry, a powerful weapon of the era.
Although Xiangli and his men were puzzled, they still followed Zhao Long's instructions and managed to create a rough prototype within two days.
As these items were loaded onto the warhorse, Zhao Long looked at Zhao Ben and asked, "Uncle Zhao, shall we give it a try?"
Zhao Ben personally mounted his warhorse, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Long with awe.
"Young master, you are truly talented."
Even Xiangli Yao only realized the specific use of this thing at this moment, and was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.
A chosen one indeed, this is the person who understands Qin Mo best.
As soon as Qin Mo returned, he forged such a divine weapon!
Qin Mo's studies were all for the purpose of war, so how could he not see how terrifying this thing was!
Indeed, their return was the right decision; they will now serve this young master to the death.
We will never let you down!
Soon, Zhang Han and the others arrived together and happened to see Zhao Ben and his group conducting the experiment.
"Would the General like to give it a try?"
After personally experiencing the ingenious use of the stirrups, the Qin generals were all amazed.
Zhang Han was filled with admiration. "He truly lives up to his reputation as a young master!"
Their methods are endless; they know a little about everything, even how to make this kind of machinery.
"With the ingenious use of stirrups, cavalry training could potentially be reduced to a year's worth of work!"
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Han's eyes.
He had seen Wang Li's Great Wall Legion. The cavalrymen among the 300,000 Great Wall soldiers of yesteryear were all carefully selected men from the northern frontier. Only after years of training and fighting could they be called elite cavalrymen, the elite warriors of Qin!
However, with the existence of such a thing, the training time for cavalry can be greatly reduced.
Even the existing cavalry can be given many more usable tactics.
"Not just stirrups, but also horseshoes."
Zhang Han then noticed that the warhorse had been transformed into one with iron hooves, and exclaimed in surprise, "Won't this injure the horse's hooves?"
"No, horseshoes are deep and require regular maintenance. Having horseshoes is much cheaper than directly maintaining warhorses."
Upon hearing Xiang Liyao's explanation, a glint of light flashed in Zhang Han's eyes!
The horse showed absolutely no signs of being affected.
Zhang Han's smile deepened. This man truly deserves to be called the hero of Qin, the destined ruler of Qin.
It must be His Majesty's blessing from Heaven that has bestowed upon the Great Qin another such extraordinary son!
"By the way, General, what brings you here?"
Zhang Han was also very busy, as the 50,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty needed to be reorganized.
Once the Qin Dynasty sends out its troops, it will be to attack the Three Qin regions and conquer the world.
The time available to reorganize the army will be very short, so Zhang Han needs to make proper arrangements before then.
Zhang Han glanced at Zhang Cang and the others beside him, and slowly said, "Rebuild the capital!"
Xiang Yu set a huge fire that burned Xianyang for months.
The Qin Dynasty has now been rebuilt after its collapse, and Zhao Long has returned to his rightful place.
Before the Qin state could be rebuilt, it needed a perfect capital.
Zhao Long also pondered for a moment, realizing that the capital city symbolizes the face of a country.
Just like when Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, even though his ministers were so poor that they couldn't afford to use carriages, Liu Bang still built a magnificent capital city for the Han Dynasty with the advice of Xiao He and others!
This false Qin Fourth Emperor established the ancient capital of Chang'an!
Although this is somewhat like putting on a brave face, the people of Qin need a capital city to reunite their hearts and minds.
It makes people yearn for Qin and long for its capital!
Zhao Long thought for a moment and then said, "There's no need to rebuild Xianyang. Let's leave the ruins as a lasting reminder to the world not to forget the national calamity!"
"Right to the south, in Chang'an Village, where the Qin army first achieved a great victory over the Han army when it rose up again, a new capital was rebuilt."
"Let's name it Chang'an, wishing the Great Qin Dynasty lasting prosperity and peace!"
