Chapter 123 The Power of Daqin

"The only families that can truly stand on their own in the military today are the Wang and Meng families!"

"You all don't deny this, right?"

As soon as Ying Yuan said this, everyone nodded in unison.

There is no doubt that the only two people in the Wang family, Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, are the engine that can destroy nations and sweep across the world.

Now it comes to Wang Li. Although he has not achieved any remarkable results in battle, judging from his behavior, he is at least not a fool.

Not to mention the Meng family, it is also an old family with a profound influence in the military.

Apart from these two families, the other generals are not worthy of being called military families.

"Sir, you won't let General Wang go into battle, will you?"

"General Wang's ability and qualifications are of course no problem, but his age is there."

"If you let General Wang go, I'm afraid that Marquis Tongwu will be the first to jump up and shout!"

Xiao He guessed Ying Yuan’s thoughts at the first moment, and then stepped forward to stop him.

Besides, you know what, what he said is actually quite possible.

Ying Yuan glanced at Xiao He and said unhappily.

"What is there to clamor about, Wang Ben?"

"His father is awesome!"

"If he's better than his father, then let him go!"

"Not to mention the civil and military officials in the court, even the people of the entire Qin Dynasty, who doesn't know the reputation of General Wang Jian?"

"Besides, this time, I have considered everything!"

As soon as Ying Yuan said this, everyone shut up.

Instead, he sat down seriously, wanting to hear what Ying Yuan meant by overall considerations.

Ying Yuan looked around at everyone, then poured a cup of tea into his mouth to moisten his throat. After spitting out the tea stalks with two "Puh", he spoke loudly.

"Border troubles have always existed!"

"This is definitely not caused by the border guards' negligence or the soldiers' incompetence."

"In fact, this is a war between two nations for land and food."

"Look at its essence directly, that's it. Any other decorative expressions are just to cover up the mistakes or wrap them in a cloak of justice."

As soon as Ying Yuan said this "radical statement".

Everyone's expression changed immediately.

Xiao He, Fusu and Li You felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

Because this would deny the justice of the Qin military actions.

But Chen Ping smiled with great interest, like a pervert.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to be able to see through the truth behind this matter!"

"It was only after I traveled around for many years and became blind that I finally figured it out. How did you figure it out?"

This was the first time Chen Ping addressed Ying Yuan as "you".

Obviously, for Chen Ping, identity and status are not that important to him.

On the contrary, it is very important for him that his knowledge and vision are at the same level.

However, Ying Yuan didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, this was just something that was mentioned briefly in some textbooks in his previous life.

"I didn't think about it too much, but it's just that simple."

"Put aside all the flowery and whitewashed preaching and look directly at the essence of the matter. It's that simple."

"We want a stable border and the other side wants money and food, so the only way left is war."

"Because the other side has no channels to get money and food from other places, and we have no habit of surrendering and paying tribute."

"So, we must fight!"

"What I need to think about now is how to fight and how big a blow!" Chen Ping really liked Ying Yuan's "simple" analysis method.

Wasn't it because Confucianism contained too many insincere and deceptive elements that he left?
And here, Ying Yuan obviously came to the right place.

The relationship between countries is one of naked interests.

It's a life-and-death struggle, or at worst, it's a competition where if you eat one more bite I will eat one less bite.

This kind of approach that goes straight to the essence of the matter is exactly what Chen Ping, the "poisonous scholar", likes to like.

He said excitedly.

"Since you just said that you have set your sights on the Wang family, does that mean that you have already roughly figured out how to fight them?"

Ying Yuan shook his head with some hesitation.

He looked at everyone present, hesitated for a moment again, and finally spoke firmly.

"My idea for this war is to mobilize the entire Iron Pagoda Army of the Wang Family!"

"We are no longer treating it as a border dispute, but as a national war."

"Either don't fight, or if you do fight, you have to fight until the enemy flees far away and has no ability to attack Daqin for ten or twenty years."

hiss……

When everyone heard this, even though they were prepared for it, they couldn't help but gasp.

Civil war?

Iron Pagoda?
Fusu, who has the gentlest temperament on the field, is undoubtedly the most anxious.

He stood up directly, walked to Ying Yuan, grabbed Ying Yuan and asked excitedly.

"Sixth brother, are you crazy?"

"Iron Pagoda?"

"That's the new army that has just started to be reorganized!"

"Besides, look at the cost of this Iron Pagoda. How can we afford to use it to fight a national war?"

"You are being irresponsible to the Qin Dynasty in the war!"

Ying Yuan patted Fusu's hand, signaling him to let him go.

After all, Fusu has been working out quite vigorously recently, so if he suddenly got excited and grabbed it, it would really hurt a bit.

After Fusu let go of his hand, Ying Yuan spoke.

"Actually, brother, your understanding is a bit off!"

"The cost of the Iron Pagoda is high because it is still in the construction stage."

"War horses, armor, weapons, these are different from before, and they all need to be purchased in large quantities, so the expenses are so staggering."

"But in reality, once the formation is completed, the cost of the Iron Pagoda will still be higher than that of ordinary cavalry, but it won't be so high that it's scary."

Having said that, Ying Yuan also stood up.

He glanced at everyone present, then turned to look outside the main hall.

His sight seemed to pass through the gate and the courtyard wall and see the bustling people in Xianyang City.

And beyond the towering walls of Xianyang, his sight seemed to extend all the way to the north.

On the border, the Qin soldiers, whose military appearance was not very strict, were fighting fiercely with the Hun cavalry who suddenly appeared on the border with solemn and crazy faces.

He seemed to have seen all of this.

He spoke in a soft voice, but with an extremely firm tone.

"This matter is decided by me!"

"I have now created a grain with a higher yield per mu, built a more powerful Iron Pagoda, and eliminated the constraints in the court."

"All these things are done to make Daqin stronger!"

"Since I have this ability, I will let the Xiongnu and others see why my Great Qin is so powerful!"
