"How many guards does Shanglin Garden have?" Hu Hai was not too stupid and knew how to ask about the situation of Shanglin Garden first.
Zongzheng quickly replied: "Only a few hundred."
"Only a few hundred?" Hu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately became careless. After being grounded for so long, he no longer knew what was happening outside, let alone the existence of Shanglinyuan.
In his eyes, it was just a place with a bigger family estate than the average wealthy family.
It is true that there are only a few hundred guards, and they are members of ordinary noble families, so there is nothing to worry about.
"In this case, let a city defense army of thousands of people destroy it. How dare you spread rumors like this? Let them know how powerful I am."
Upon hearing that he had sent a thousand men to leave, Zong Zheng became worried and quickly continued: "Your Majesty, maybe you don't know something. Although there are only a few hundred guards in Shanglin Garden, there are two thousand elites of our Great Qin stationed there."
"Two thousand elites?" Hu Hai was stunned, but he didn't care. The Great Qin elites were indeed great, but they were only two thousand, so they were nothing to worry about.
No wonder he had such an illusion. He had been grounded since the Eastern Patrol and had no idea about the existence of two thousand elites. If he had known that two thousand elites could resist the existence of a hundred thousand troops, he probably would not have said this.
Zong Zheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these two thousand elites are not ordinary elites, but elites with powerful weapons. The Taiwei did not dare to confront Lin Yuan when he was there, all because of their powerful weapons."
"Big killer weapon? Is it Li Zhao's thing that can blow up the rebel army? Don't be afraid, as long as our people don't get too close, it won't be of any use?" When Li Zhao led a hundred people to repel the traitor army during the eastward patrol, that's what Li Zhao used Something that can be thrown to frighten the thieves.
That thing is very scary, but the amount is very small, and it will be gone after a few throws. Now that he knows this, he asked Rui Shi to make a plan to let Shanglinyuan throw one more. They are not lambs to be slaughtered.
"Then send 10,000 troops! Led by 10,000 generals, we can definitely capture Shanglinyuan."
Zong Zheng didn't say anything anymore. He didn't know whether Ten Thousand People could capture Shanglinyuan, but it seemed that some time ago, the deputy general led ten thousand troops to protect them. Later, Ten Thousand Troops never returned. As for where they went, no one knew. No one in the palace discussed it.
But he vaguely felt that something bad must have happened to these ten thousand people, otherwise how could they have disappeared all of a sudden.
But he understood at that time that these ten thousand people only had some conflicts with a thousand elites, and then they disappeared.
"I am willing to become a military governor and share your Majesty's worries." Dr. Ran volunteered.
This person is the one who just said that the people of Da Qin have enough food and clothing. Hu Hai saw that he was not disgusted, so he clapped his hands and confirmed: "Shan, this should be my doctor of Da Qin. If everyone is like this, why is our Da Qin not prosperous?"
"I will order you to be the military governor, and you will lead an army of ten thousand people to attack Shanglin Garden. You must destroy it."
"Promise! I will break through Shanglin Garden and capture countless beauties for Your Majesty."
This is the point of what Dr. Ran wants to say.
Hu Hai was very satisfied and said to the general who was standing aside: "I order you to be a general of ten thousand people. Tomorrow, you will lead ten thousand city defense troops to Shanglinyuan and be sure to capture it."
"This" general didn't know what to do for a moment, and ten thousand people captured Shanglinyuan? He couldn't even imagine that those were two thousand elites! No matter how much courage you give him, he won't dare to face it.
The prestige of the two thousand elites has already resounded throughout the entire city defense army. They killed tens of thousands of thieves with them. What a victory! He never thought that he would have to face it one day. If this was the case, he would definitely lose.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty." He wanted to refuse, but to refuse would be to resist the order, which would lead to death. If he did not resist the order, leading the army to Shanglin Garden would also lead to death.
He just stood there, muttering not knowing what he was talking about, and his feet began to tremble.
"What? You want to resist the decree?" Hu Hai's face turned serious, and the general immediately agreed and went ahead.
Shanglinyuan.
Li Zhao listened to Wu Quan's report with a slight smile on his face.
Xiang Yu did not disappoint him. He successfully revolted and captured a county. As long as he was given some time, it would be easy to capture more counties.
The situation on Liu Ji's side is calmer. He has stayed in Peixian since he took over it. He must be recharging his strength and recruiting more people.
According to historical development, Xiang Yu grew rapidly, and Liu Ji soon led the rebel army to join him.
If he had not guided him, Xiang Liang would have died in the battle. After Liu Ji took refuge with Xiang Yu, he was used by Fan Zeng to attack the county and eventually almost his entire army was annihilated.
The gain outweighs the loss.
Of course, this is also the disadvantage of not having a big killer.
Duke Xiang is definitely watching them. If one day they change from passive to active, will Xiang Yu, Liu Ji and others be able to deal with them? The answer is no. Failure to do so would be detrimental to your own plans.
"Would you like to give them some artillery?"
This is a question that Li Zhao has been thinking about for a few days. The Chu-Han struggle for hegemony in history did not have any weapons of mass destruction, and it was not even as powerful as the Qin Dynasty at its peak. This was because they did not have much accumulation, and it was completely a confrontation with cold weapons. .
According to this trend, if one day Xiang Gong's artillery is moved to the battlefield, they will only become cannon fodder. Li Zhao does not want the uprising he has worked so hard to die early.
"Give them machine guns?" This idea was rejected by Li Zhao at the same time. Such a powerful weapon such as machine guns was taboo for Qin Shihuang. If he really gave it to the rebels, he might be held accountable by Qin Shihuang. This is only one of the reasons, and the other is, If we continue to distribute it on such a large scale, let alone whether it can be produced. Even if it can be produced, it will inevitably expand externally.
If some people get it, there will definitely be imitators. If machine guns become widespread, Qin Shihuang will not take his life. This is why Qin Shihuang must ban the mass production of such weapons.
Not to mention such a lethal weapon, the current Qin Dynasty regulations prohibit the possession of iron knives in large quantities, so it is rare for people to see knives used for cooking, and even if they do, they are used by several families. This is the result of the imperial court's restrictions.
"Grenade?"
It's not very good. This thing relies entirely on manpower to throw it, which greatly reduces its combat capability. If the opponent uses the Crouching Tiger Cannon, the grenades will be useless.
"Mortars are good, but they are also forbidden by Qin Shihuang. They are difficult to handle!"
Li Zhao had a headache, and finally decided to go back to ancient times, that is, use ancient weapons.
Xiang Gong's Crouching Tiger Cannon was owned by the Ming Dynasty, and its power was unmatched by the Qin Dynasty. If the other party had such a thing, if he produced it, I'm afraid Qin Shihuang wouldn't blame him even if he knew about it!
"Red Cannon?"
The red cannon was originally an artillery invented in Europe in the 16th century. It was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty and was quickly copied and played a huge role in the war.
After later modifications, the red cannon has an effective range of 1,500 meters, which is three miles. It is much stronger than the Crouching Tiger Cannon, but it is a bit heavy and cannot move as freely as the Crouching Tiger Cannon. This is one of its drawbacks.
However, in order to deal with the Crouching Tiger Cannon, this gun is also the best choice.
Just do what he said. Before Xiang Gong made any move, he had to do it as soon as possible. It was best to do as much as possible. Then Liu Ji and Xiang Yu would have the capital to deal with Xiang Gong.
After redeeming the secret book from the store, he was about to send someone to find Ah Chao, but Ah Chao came.
"Master, it's successful, it's successful."
Ah Chao couldn't help but be happy and shouted from a distance, for fear that Li Zhao wouldn't hear.
"Furry, what's the success?"
Li Zhao's elegance was disturbed and he rolled his eyes at him, but Ah Chao didn't care at all and came over and dragged the young master out by the hand.
"It's successful. It's as powerful as what the young master said. Oh, I'm sorry, it was Ah Chao who was abrupt. That's it. The sniper rifle that the young master asked Ah Chao to make successfully made a sniper rifle. It is now waiting for the young master to test it."
"So fast!" Li Zhao was quite surprised. How many days did it take to give him the secret book? It seems like it didn't take more than a month to make. These craftsmen are really awesome.
Or maybe this is because the Daxia people have never lacked wisdom. What they lack is a direction. As long as they are given a coordinate, they can take over the earth.
Just like this sniper rifle, something that was created by later generations after years of vicissitudes only took a short time to reach the hands of the craftsman. Of course, this also benefited from his secret book.
"Okay, I will go and see the power of the sniper rifle."
This is a usual training ground for the guards. At this moment, it has been completely emptied, leaving only a few craftsmen. Someone is holding a package, and the contents inside are extremely heavy.
As soon as Li Zhao arrived, the craftsmen quickly saluted. Li Zhao waved his hand and took the package from one of the craftsmen.
He had been exposed to guns in his previous life, but had never been exposed to a sniper rifle. Naturally, he did not know how heavy a sniper rifle was, but when he came into contact with this gun, he felt that it was extremely difficult to hold it. He still lacked exercise.
However, there are many people in Shanglinyuan who are very strong. Just because he has difficulty with it does not mean that others will have difficulty.
It was the first sniper rifle, so he naturally had to go into battle to demonstrate it to everyone.
Because the sniper rifle is fired from a long distance, there are many things to consider, such as the deviation of the bullet, wind direction and wind speed, etc. He is not a professional and does not care about these.
He will definitely have to train some professional snipers by then, so that this thing can play its role with a high probability.
Find a suitable position and find a target at 800 paces. He believes that this gun is not made in modern times and its accuracy is at its limit at 800 paces.
This place was strictly isolated. Li Zhao dropped to the ground, found a comfortable position, and assembled the sniper rifle. When everything was ready, he aimed at the target.
It has to be said that the craftsmen are very disciplined when it comes to learning things. This telescope is very real and has a level of quality that was achieved in previous generations. Under the markings, the scenery within 800 steps can be clearly seen without any shaking.
Aim and turn the wrench. Under the silence of the silencer, the bullet flies out quickly without making much sound.
The bullets can be fired, which proves that Ah Chao and the others have succeeded in making it. Next, it depends on the accuracy, but judging from the power of the missile, it is much stronger than the machine gun, and the range is definitely one or two kilometers.
I don't know what the effective range is.
Li Zhao's eyes were fixed on the target in the crosshair. Although he could not see the trajectory of the bullet, he could clearly see the target.
Whoosh!
After a few breaths, Li Zhao was a little disappointed. He didn't hit the target. He only saw branches swaying around him in the crosshairs. He must have hit a branch not far away.
Even so, he was very happy. This gun was stronger than he imagined. At least it could be made like this under such manufacturing conditions, which proved that the workshop's equipment was extraordinary and the level of the craftsmen was also very good.
If snipers are trained, maybe a few sharpshooters will emerge.
"Very good, very good. I am very satisfied with this gun."
After receiving the young master's approval, several craftsmen wiped away nervous sweat and finally smiled on their faces. It was rare to receive the young master's praise, which was their greatest motivation.
Ah Chao was even more happy, showing off his achievements.
"Of course it's very good. Ah Chao made this after dozens of sleepless nights and put in a lot of effort."
This was so successful that several people dared not speak, but Li Zhao rolled his eyes at him and secretly thought that this beast was too showy. If it weren't for his own secret book, would they have been able to create it? Fortunately for him, he took all the credit.
But it's just a joke. Now that you have a sniper rifle, you have to look for a sniper.
But just when he wanted Wu Quan to choose from the guards, Wu Quan came over in a hurry, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Young master, the Qin army is attacking, and there are ten thousand people."
