Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 550 Preparations before attacking Seleucid, the time cost of long-distance transportation!

Spring and autumn come, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

During this year, Lao Zhao led the Daqin army of 350,000 to the west, all the way west.

With the tough and sharp steel knives in his hands, and the indestructible fragmentation shells, he forcibly broke out a bloody path.

Wherever he went, anyone who blocked him was instantly swept away.

Under the strong suppression of scientific and technological power, all kinds of Weixu, Moshan, Loulan, Qiuci, Qiemo, and Jingjue can only be conquered.

The only thing that could be considered resistance was the Bactrian army.

Compared to the small country soldiers in the grasslands before.

This kingdom of Batkeria was once ruled by Alexander's Eastern Expedition more than a hundred years ago, and the combat effectiveness of the army is indeed not weak.

It is even comparable to that of Qi Zhao and other countries in the Warring States Period.

However, even such a powerful combat power, which can be regarded as a ruling class relative to the surrounding countries, is already vulnerable in the eyes of today's Qin army.

Horse harness, steel knife, imitation recurve bow, improved Qin crossbow.

Just relying on these four kinds of conventional equipment, the Qin army was able to slaughter the army of the Batkelia Kingdom in a fancy way.

Not to mention that among the Qin army, there were still 10,000 Tiefu slaughterhouses and a large number of 17 fragments of artillery shells.

Under the crushing of science and technology, the Qin army only lost less than 30,000 soldiers, and then defeated the Batkelia Kingdom with a force of 150,000.

After winning Batkelia, everyone also discovered the particularity of this country.

That is, for these foreign troops, the people of Batkelia, did not show the slightest panic.

It seems that being ruled and conquered has been etched into their bones.

Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help sighing helplessly.

Although from a certain point of view, this is not a bad thing for the subsequent rule of Da Qin.

But what is the future of a nation that has lost its dignity and vitality?

After a brief discussion, Lao Zhao decided to garrison the army in the capital of the Kingdom of Batkelia for half a year.

First, it was this year's march, Qin Jun did not get enough rest, and now he is somewhat tired.

And the next targets are those who are not weaker than the Batqueria Kingdom.

There was even a behemoth like the Seleucid Empire.

In order to ensure future combat effectiveness, the necessary needs are still needed.

Although the Qin army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong today, in theory, the army of 300,000 is completely worth the army of one million under normal circumstances.

However, in the face of the vast Seleucid Empire, after Su Yu, Lao Zhao and others discussed it, they still chose a relatively stable tactic.

Otherwise, if the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will become a joke if it is said.

Come, that is, the garrison for half a year can not only have enough rest for the Western Expedition Army, but also help Daqin's support and follow-up of the relocated population.

Batkelia even ruled for a brief period because it had been conquered by Alexander's crusades.

Therefore, in terms of the construction of the city-state and the perfection of some facilities, it is much better than the cities conquered by the Western Expedition Army before.

At least it can be regarded as a complete and suitable city for daily life.

Instead of just encircling a large area and setting up a tent like Wusun and Yuezhi, it can be regarded as a king's tent.

With a fairly complete city-state as the foundation, it is much simpler to develop a completely Qin-like frontline base than other situations.

What's more, there are so many cheap Batkelians as laborers.

These cheap laborers don't even need to pay anything, as long as they can eat twice a day so that they can eat.

Da Qin was naturally able to fully satisfy this point.

In order to ensure the westward expedition, as well as the increasing demand for food at the cutting edge.

Today's Daqin has relatively increased the planting area of ​​some food crops.

At the same time, due to the vigorous development of animal husbandry, a large amount of meat has gradually become popular in the rich areas of Daqin, such as Xianyang and Hanzhong.

This also saves a lot of food crops.

without any exaggeration.

Today's Daqin is not to mention that it is for his own use.

Even if the Western Expedition Army has now taken down the entire Asia, the food supply can keep up with the changes in the population.

Once the capital of Batkelia was completed, a large number of Daqin people migrated in, and the surrounding hungry farmland was reclaimed.

This can be said to have an extremely important role in Daqin's second westward expedition in the future.

In addition, it has reached the border of the Central Asian grassland, and it is about to enter the scope of Europe.

Taking this place as an important military force in the future of Daqin, the army supply will save a lot of time and military expenses.

Three months later, the first batch of supplies and relocated people from Daqin arrived, and the renovation of the capital city of Batkelia began vigorously.

As long as the first stage of the transformation is over, and the people of Daqin are completely settled, then the Western Expedition Army can start preparing to attack this huge Seleucid Empire!

The first step in the renovation is to rebuild the Daqin-style houses, and upgrade and reinforce the outer walls of the entire city.

This is the top priority of an ancient city.

It can not only prevent the attacks of foreign troops, but also effectively block the attacks of wild animals that haunted a large number of wild animals in the world two thousand years ago.

Originally, although the capital city of Batkelia had a wall, it was almost able to prevent animal attacks.

But for 860 to prevent foreign troops from attacking... Anyway, when they attacked the city before, Su Yu and Lao Zhao and others did not feel much effect.

It goes without saying that a city wall of this magnitude is a fragmentation shell.

Even if it is just a simple large-scale army siege, it is difficult to persist for too long.

Obviously, it cannot be compared with the city walls of the Daqin city today.

So rebuilding the wall has become a top priority.

In addition, some other infrastructure constructions, Xianyang Palace also seems to attach great importance to it under Lao Zhao's instruction.

It's just that in addition to the most basic technical craftsmen, more craftsmen are still on their way to the city.

After all, the distance from Xianyang City is too long, and it is impossible for all the personnel to be in place at one time.

As for the materials needed for urban construction, they can only be obtained locally.

This area is located on the edge of the Central Asian steppe, and there are still many trees, enough to support the construction of a city.

At this time, Su Yu was lost in thought as he watched the teams constantly appearing in the distance.

With the continuous advancement of the Great Qin Western Expedition, some issues had to be considered.

That's the time cost of long-distance transportation!

ps: There is no exaggeration. At that time, the Asian population was very small. Except for the Seleucid, Peacock Dynasty, and Qin Dynasty, most of the forces lived together in the form of tribes and villages.
