Originally, Xiang Yu wanted to lead everyone to respect Liu Bang as the new leader, but considering his inability to protect him, he could only be demoted to the new King of Qi. Liu Bang also said that it was okay to feel a little wronged. After all, everyone was doing it for the people of the world.
.
At this point, King Liu Bang of Qi officially took office, and he thanked the overlord profusely for his benevolent and righteous deeds. He vowed to say things that even the devil would not believe, just for fun.
Sima Xin's territory was given to Xiang Yu's brother-in-law Yu Ziqi.
.........
In the Qin court in the middle of Shu, everyone has learned about the death of Xiong Xin and the news that Liu Bang has been named King of Qi. Everyone agrees that at this time, the hearts of the six Shandong countries must be unstable and the princes are eager to move.
This was a good opportunity for Qin to conquer the world.
Li Feng agreed.
Xiong Xin's death successfully made Xiang Yu feel at ease. He heard that he was currently preparing for his wedding to Yu Ji in Pengcheng and didn't want to pay attention to other things at all.
He had promised Yu Ji that he would follow him and repay the favor of the world. Now that his dream has come true and he is so high-spirited, Xiang Yu is almost floating. He is staying in Pengcheng, enjoying the pleasure of waking up to hold the power of the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman.
Even though Fan Zeng repeatedly advised him to continue conquering the world and Xu Tu to make progress, Xiang Yu couldn't listen.
Sometimes, when a man becomes romantic, it can put everyone in the world to shame.
Liu Bang is very enterprising, but the overall situation is still relatively stable and he has no suitable opportunity to make progress.
But he was not idle either. On the one hand, he was indeed governing the people of Qi seriously and won the hearts of the people. On the other hand, he was recruiting troops and horses and was ready to take action at any time.
Ever since he witnessed the power of the fiery oil tank in Shu, Liu Bang has been working hard and secretly looking for this artifact so that he can achieve unexpected effects on the battlefield when the storm breaks out again in the future.
In short, they don't have time to talk to Li Feng now.
This just gave Li Feng time to develop.
Of course, these are only auxiliary functions for Li Feng, and his greater confidence comes from himself.
Good news came from the Qin family. The first season of hybrid rice has matured. According to the rational breeding and proper fertilization explained by Li Feng, the yield per mu has really reached more than 2,000 kilograms. They are currently preparing to plant the second season.
"Keep part of it in the warehouse for future use, and distribute the rest to the people who own the fertile land. They will cultivate it in the name of the royal gift, and they will be able to receive one thirty tax in the future." Suppressing his joy, Li Feng wrote a letter to Qin Dan overnight. Of course, he expressed his gratitude to Qin Yu appropriately.
The feeling of longing is also very necessary.
Not long after, Qin Dan wrote back: "In compliance with the holy order, the people of Bashu will definitely be grateful for your majesty's kindness. In addition, Yu'er misses your majesty day by day. I hope your majesty will be happy as soon as possible to comfort my feelings of missing you."
...........
Now, the food and fodder are ready to launch a war that will last for several months.
The weapons and equipment of the Ordnance Bureau have also produced results, and they can be put into use only with Li Feng's order.
The new army has been trained, and the 80,000 tiger and wolf troops are waiting to enter Guanzhong, regain the territory of Qin, and reunite with their fathers in their hometown.
To be honest, in this era, which is still in the middle stage of cold weapons, it is a bit suspenseful for an army of 80,000 to attack Sanqin, which has an army of more than 200,000.
Especially now that Sanqin has made preparations, it is no longer possible for him to make a surprise attack like Han Xin in history by "building a plank road in the open and crossing Chencang secretly".
This means that the 80,000-strong army needs to rely on hard power to attack, and he does not want to flood the abandoned hills like Han Xin did in the original historical time and space, which will cause a large number of civilian casualties, which is not advisable.
In fact, Li Feng never quite understood the ancient behavior of flooding a city with water or massacring it at every turn.
In a city captured in this way, all the civilians will die. Without the people to exploit for you, you will have no sources of soldiers and money. Even if you get this city, it will be of no use.
Even if you are a tyrant, defeat the defenders, break into the city, seize its wealth and people, and collect its beauties, isn't it delicious? But if you kill them all, how can you collect them?
On the school field outside the Ordnance Bureau, Li Feng was testing his new weapons.
They are all epoch-making gadgets, and this is one of his bargaining chips.
Originally, Li Feng only gave out drawings and added some explanations, but he didn't expect that Meng Rui's people were so creative and actually produced these things out of hand.
The trebuchet is a conventional artifact in siege warfare. At this time, the human trebuchet that was passed down from the Warring States Period was generally used. It uses a lever to be pulled hard to throw the stone projectile.
The shooting range can reach about 170 meters and can throw 30 kilograms of heavy objects. However, it requires more than 20 people to operate a trebuchet. The shooting speed is slow and the manpower requirements are relatively high.
After improvement, Li Feng creatively invented a winch and made it into a torsion trebuchet.
The winch rope is used instead of manpower. The average range is 250 meters. It only requires 4 people to operate. It can launch up to 50 kilograms of weight.
After improving the trebuchet, in order to achieve better results, Li Feng improved the cannonballs based on oil as raw material and combined with the siege concept of the Ming Dynasty.
Thermal weapons such as mortars, rocket launchers, and matchlocks cannot be made.
Li Feng tried it, but for unknown reasons, whenever there was a hint of hot weapons, something would happen immediately the next day, either the armory would explode or the production staff would die suddenly.
Weapons also often turn into parts for no apparent reason.
Maybe this is the system's so-called ban on thermal weapons, ban on electricity, etc., but Li Feng is not too depressed. To be honest, he has a bit of a knack. Even if these things are not banned, he doesn't know how to get them out.
Since thermal weapons cannot be made, some simple, practical and immoral things can still be made.
For example, there were some marginal weapons that transcended the Qin and Han dynasties. As a history buff, he read a lot of information on these things.
The poisonous dragon fire-breathing canister was borrowed from the Ming Dynasty. It was the earliest smoke bomb and poison gas bomb.
Make a big bamboo tube, put oil in it, add lime, grass, cow dung, moxa meat, arsenic, realgar, stone yellow, saponaria, ginger powder, polygonum shavings, pepper, sand oil and other medicines, and mix it.
Since these things are not as heavy as stones, they can be made very large and can hold a lot of things.
After lighting it, it was placed on a trebuchet and launched. The smoke was burning and the poisonous gas penetrated into the enemy's orifices. The people in the city could not open their eyes at all and had to endure the discomfort of poisoning. At this time, taking the opportunity to attack the city would get twice the result with half the effort.
In order to achieve the maximum lethality and shock effect, Li Feng also made the Eight Ox Crossbow, which originally appeared in the Song Dynasty, come out in advance. This thing can definitely be regarded as the most lethal weapon with the greatest impact on the human body in the past and present. There is no one, even now
