Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 286: Emperor Qin's Treasure

The door to Emperor Qin's treasure was opened, and Zhao Chen showed an extremely excited expression on his face. Not only him, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Qu Duan beside him also showed excited expressions on their faces, and even Qin Yuzhen also had excited expressions on their faces at the moment.

This is where Qin Shihuang hid his treasure! Qin Shihuang was the first emperor to rule the world in ancient China! Before Qin Shihuang, although there was the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties implemented the system of princes. At that time, the emperors were only the stronger ones among the princes, and what they could rule was only a piece of land around the capital. The territory of the country is ruled by various princes. Those princes have their own court, army and even writing. If the princes are stronger, they can even overthrow the emperor! And Qin Shihuang eliminated all the princes and truly ruled the whole world!

One can imagine the richness of his treasures!

In the past, whether it was the Jiangnan martial arts people or the Shaolin monks, they all wanted to obtain these treasures, and they even thought that these treasures could help Zhao Gou to rule the world. Although Zhao Chen is not so attached to treasures by these martial arts people, it is inevitable to be excited at the moment.

Qin Yuzhen was also excited at this moment. The treasure map of the Emperor Qin had been placed in the Tianshan School for thousands of years, and it was originally a treasure belonging to the Tianshan School. In order to help Zhao Gou, the Tianshan faction asked her to go down the mountain with the treasure map of the Emperor Qin, but now it was occupied by Zhao Chen. While she was excited, she was also a little sad.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look." Zhao Chen smiled.

He was about to step forward, but Yue Fei had already stepped up first!

I don't know how many traps there are in the Qinhuang's treasure, and no one knows whether the traps will happen again, so Yue Fei wants to go to the front to avoid Zhao Chen's danger.

It was dark inside, and they didn't see the scene clearly until a few soldiers with torches entered it.

This is also a hall. At this moment, the hall is shining with gold, and there are piles of gold placed there!

"A lot of gold!" Zhao Chen said, stunned.

"The gold here is at least a million taels!" Qu Duan said after looking around.

"Is there only a million taels of gold?" Zhao Chen was slightly disappointed.

If Qin Huang's treasures were only a mere million taels of gold, then it wouldn't make much sense! Zhao Chen attacked Xixia, and the war compensation he got from Xixia alone was five million gold and five million silver! The million taels of gold in front of us is a huge wealth for ordinary people, but it is nothing for a country!

"Your Majesty, there is still a door here, and it still needs the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to open it!" At this moment, Yue Fei said in front.

Zhao Chen and others hurried over, and then Qu Duan opened the door again with the Chuan Guo Yuxi.

After the door is opened, there is another hall inside, and in this hall are densely packed weapons.

"A lot of weapons, the weapons here can equip at least 10,000 people!" Qu Duan said excitedly.

"After a thousand years, these weapons may not be usable anymore!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

He picked up a sword from the ground, and saw a piece of green on the sword! It turns out that this is a weapon made of bronze, and it has patina on it! During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the ability to smelt metal was extremely low, and most of the swords used at that time were bronze swords!

He pulled out his own sword from his waist, and swung both hands together. When the two swords collided, there was only a crisp sound, and the bronze sword was chopped into two pieces! What he wears today is just an ordinary sword in the army, its sharpness is average, but even this bronze sword can't resist it.

Not only the bronze sword, but all the surrounding weapons. Zhao Chen, Qu Duan and others all showed disappointed expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, this is Qin Nu!" At this moment, Yue Fei in front said fiercely.

Zhao Chen strode up to Yue Fei, only to see Yue Fei holding a huge crossbow in his hand! This crossbow is almost as tall as a person, and it is much larger than the god arm crossbow used by the Song army!

He took the crossbow from Yue Fei's hand, only to realize that the crossbow was very heavy. He took a closer look, only to realize that the crossbow was actually made of metal, and he was taken aback for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the Qin crossbow is made of wood. This crossbow is obviously specially made, just to stay here for future generations to watch! Your Majesty, according to historical records, when the Qin soldiers conquered the world, the crossbow was the most important thing. Weapon! Seeing this Qin crossbow today, we might be able to imitate it!" Yue Fei said excitedly.

"Back then, the number of crossbowmen in the Qin army was indeed extremely large! Although I also had a god-arm bow in the Song Dynasty, it was extremely difficult to make a god-arm bow. Until now, we have not had many god-arm archers! Moreover, the god-arm bow Although the shooting range is far, the speed of setting up the arrow is extremely slow! It is said that Qin Nu is not like this!" Qu Duan also said.

"Oh! If that's the case, this can be regarded as the first treasure we got this time!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen didn't treat it as a treasure when he saw a million gold before, but now he sees this Qin crossbow, but he treats it as a treasure. Because although a million gold is valuable, it can only help the country in a limited way. If the Qin crossbow can equip the army and increase the combat effectiveness of the army, it will be of great help to the country.

"Your Majesty, look quickly, the walls are surrounded by pictures of the Qin soldiers fighting in those days! Here is how they lined up their troops!" Yue Fei's voice revealed a trace of excitement.

Zhao Chen looked at the surrounding walls, and sure enough, he found countless icons around. I saw that the Qin soldiers were arranged in square formations to fight, some of which were formed by spears and halberds, and some were formed by crossbowmen! Sure enough, the crossbowmen were extremely important among the Qin soldiers, often the crossbowmen were in the middle, and the phalanx formed by those long weapons was on the side!

"Your Majesty, the Qin people's crossbowmen only have Qin crossbows in their hands, and there are no other weapons! The surrounding soldiers and horses holding spears and halberds are to protect their safety! They use crossbowmen as their main attack force! These us The infantry can be learned! Also, here are their cavalry, their cavalry are all heavily armored, the Huns cavalry are vulnerable to them." Yue Fei said.

"There are so many places for us to learn here!" Zhao Chen nodded slightly.

They stayed here for a long time, Yue Fei carefully looked at the battle maps of the Qin soldiers around the wall, keeping everything in mind, and then they headed towards the back of the hall. Sure enough, there was another door at the back of the hall.

At that moment, Qu Duan opened the door again with the Chuanguo Yuxi, and then they saw an extremely shocking scene!

*** ***

The front is also a hall, or it cannot be described as a hall, here is an extremely huge cave, with no end in sight!

Under the light of the torches, they could see that the cave was "full of" huge "figures"!

Each of these people is three feet tall, they have hands and feet, and their facial features are lifelike, just like ordinary people!

They were not human back then, but puppets made of metal!

"What is this? Why are there so many?" Qin Yuzhen was dumbfounded.

"Historical records show that when Qin Shihuang ruled the world, in order to prevent the world from rebelling, he gathered weapons from seven countries and cast them into twelve golden men. In the twenty-sixth year, at the beginning of the whole world, the feudal lords were changed into prefectures and counties, one law, the same measurement', so these are the twelve golden men?" Zhao Chen said beside Qin Yuzhen.

"Twelve golden men? I've heard about this too! But there are no twelve golden men in front of me. I'm afraid there are thousands of golden men!" Qin Yuzhen said.

"Your Majesty, there are engraved words on the back of these golden men, 'In the twenty-sixth year of the emperor, the first united the world, changed the feudal lords into prefectures and counties, one law, same measurement', these are indeed gold cast by the Qin Emperor gathering all the weapons in the world. People! It’s just that the number is a little different from the historical records!” Yue Fei had already come to those “golden men”, and at this moment he looked at them carefully and said suddenly.

"Historical records are bound to be wrong! Just think about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There were so many soldiers and horses in the world. In the Qin-Zhao War alone, 400,000 Zhao soldiers and horses were killed by Bai Qi! How many weapons should so many soldiers and horses have? Together, how could it be possible to refine only twelve golden men, even a thousand would be less!" Zhao Chen said.

He came to a "golden man" out of curiosity, looked carefully, and saw that the golden man was made lifelike, and his facial expression was almost exactly the same as that of a real person! Some of the golden men still hold weapons in their hands. There are various weapons, some are spears, some are extremely huge bronze swords, and some are bows and crossbows!

In later generations, Chinese people discovered the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang, but unfortunately those were all terracotta warriors, but these are "golden men" made of metal, and the shocking effect they bring to people is far more than those terracotta warriors and horses!

"It's really great! What a vast project this must be!" Zhao Chen murmured while stroking the golden men.

"That's right, Emperor Qin's collection of soldiers from all over the world gathered them in Xianyang, sold them as bells, three feet high, and those smaller than a thousand stones', so they are all here!" Qu Duan murmured on the side.

Qu Duan is an outstanding talent in the Western Army. People in Guanshan call him "a master of literature and martial arts."

"It is said in the book that the twelve golden men were placed at the gate of Efang Palace, and they were later destroyed by Dong Zhuo! It seems that the twelve golden men are just a small part of the countless golden men, and the real golden men are all here!" Qu end way.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, with so many golden men, we will never lack metal again!" Qu Duan said.

"This..." Zhao Chen was slightly taken aback.

"After melting these golden men, we can obtain countless metals, which can be used to cast weapons and agricultural tools!" Qu Duan said.

"I really can't bear to destroy these golden men!" Zhao Chen said after a long time.

"This..." Qu Duan was stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, I can't bear it! This is a treasure cast by the Emperor Qin thousands of years ago. It is so huge. It would be a pity if it was destroyed! It's just us There is a real lack of metal right now."

"Let's look further back!" Zhao Chen said.

Qu Duan nodded.

At this moment in the cave, everyone looked around in shock, including the soldiers who came in. It is because the scale here is too vast, they cannot but be shocked.

After a while, under Zhao Chen's order, they continued to move forward.

When they came to the back of the cave, they opened another door, and then there was another huge cave, and there was still such a huge golden man inside!

These golden men are not much different from the previous golden men. Zhao Chen and others stayed here for a while and then moved on.

Afterwards, they encountered three more caves like this, and all they saw were golden men! In total, there are almost 6,000 golden men with a height of three feet!

After the fifth Golden Man Cave, they opened another door, and this time they re-entered a hall.

There is no gold or weapons in this hall, and there are rows of bamboo slips here!

"Your Majesty, the handwriting on this is somewhat blurred!" Qu Duan picked up a roll of bamboo slips and said.

"It has been placed for more than a thousand years, and it is not bad that it has not been completely destroyed." Zhao Chen said.

"This is the record of Emperor Qin's battles in the world." Qu Duan looked at it for a while and said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"A lot of battles! It seems that all the battles are recorded on the bamboo slips here!" Qu Duan said from one bamboo slip to another after a long time.

"Qin Shihuang was able to win the world, although his troops were powerful and unbeatable, but the strategies and tactics they implemented at that time are also of reference significance for us! These are important classics and materials! Those in the Jiangnan martial arts said that they got Qinhuang's treasure After that, there is nothing wrong with gaining the world! If you carefully study every battle, every tactic, and every strategy, you can understand how the Qin people use their troops, and implement them earnestly, and it is really possible to win the world." Zhao said. Chen said.

"Your Majesty said so!" Qu Duan nodded.

"Your Majesty, the military system of the Qin army is very different from ours! It is recorded in the bamboo slips that all men between the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty-five must serve as soldiers. It is difficult for us to implement this!" Yue Fei said sharply.

"Of course it is impossible for the military system to continue from ancient times! The Qin people had no choice but to implement such a military system. At that time, the Qin people had a total population of only two to three million people. If they wanted to conquer the other six countries, they needed millions of soldiers and horses. All adult men must join the army! The Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, Northwest, and Xixia areas we rule now have tens of millions of people, so there is no need for this! We are just learning from them, not copying them completely," said Zhao Chen. .

Yue Fei nodded.

"Your Majesty, here are the various laws and regulations implemented by Qin Shihuang! Including how he made the world's books have the same text, cars on the same track, and behaviors, and one law! This is Qin Shihuang's art of governing the country!" At this moment, Qu Duan came to the other side , suddenly said.

"Oh!" Zhao Chen strode there, looked carefully, and said, "These are also helpful for us to govern the country!"
