Chapter 1389: The Lock of Puhai City



Based on what they know now, the passage from the Are Empire to the Qin Empire is most likely that underwater city.

If this is the case, then if the Are Empire really wants to attack the Qin Empire, perhaps every warehouse in the Qin Empire will be the target of those guys' attack.

Zhao Xin said, "What you said seems to make a lot of sense. So, according to you, we should focus on defending every coastal warehouse in the Great Qin Empire, right? Because if they really want to rob food, they will definitely target our warehouses. And for them, the most convenient places to transport food are probably the coastal warehouses! I'm right, but with so many warehouses in the Great Qin Empire, how can we focus on defending them all at once?"

There are dozens of warehouses along the coast. If we allocate a portion of our troops to defend each of these warehouses, it will be impossible to defend them.

After all, the Qin Empire only had a little over 2 million troops. 2 million troops might sound like a lot, but if they were actually distributed, with such a vast territory, not many troops could actually be allocated to each place.

It is indeed not easy for an army of more than 2 million to guard so many warehouses.

Liu Qingyi was not good at commanding the army, and he was immediately stumped when Zhao Xin asked him these questions.

Seeing that this guy had no good ideas, Zhao Xin said, "Even our most intelligent prime minister can't come up with any good ideas. So let's end this matter here. Each of you go back and think carefully about how to use our 2 million troops to defend all of our warehouses. With that, we will adjourn the court!"

Many ministers left worriedly, and only Wei Wen Zheng followed Zhao Xin tremblingly and came to Zhao Xin's palace.

Zhao Xin saw the old man's worried look and couldn't help but ask, "How are you feeling lately, sir? My tide has already receded, so why are you still here?"

Wei Wenzheng said, "Your Majesty, I find today's events quite inappropriate. Although the Great Qin Empire is not short of food, food security is always a top priority. Right now, the Great Qin Empire is very likely to face an attack. And yet, Your Majesty has actually treated this matter as a matter for widespread discussion, and has already sent so many ministers back before a conclusion has been reached. Isn't Your Majesty taking this too lightly?"

Zhao Xin couldn't help laughing when he saw the old man's worried look. He had to say that although the old man was very stubborn, his loyalty to him was really very high.

This is a worker who is wholeheartedly considering the Great Qin Empire. It must be said that Zhao Xin has never met such a worker before, but he thinks it is still very good.

So he smiled and said to Wei Wenzheng: "Old sir, you are wrong to say that! Look, how many ministers in our court have ever commanded an army?"

Although he has always been considering letting the generals in the army enter the court as ministers.

In this way, he will have a group of people who are both civil and military. These people who have been trained in the army are basically very capable and efficient in their work.

And when a war is needed, if there is really no one, just sending anyone out can solve the problem.

However, this process was progressing very slowly, and Zhao Xin was not in a hurry. Currently, none of his ministers were military generals, and all the military generals were away.

Wei Wenzheng shook his head. "Well, Your Majesty is right. Discussing military affairs with these people seems like playing the lute to a cow. So, is the Emperor discussing this matter with so many ministers just for show?"

Wei Wenzhen also had some basis for such things. There was no way around it because their emperor was too wise and powerful. Most of the time, their emperor considered more than all the people combined.

So sometimes the emperor just wanted to give his ministers a sense of participation.

But in fact, His Majesty the Emperor had already thought about how to do it, so he didn't need any advice at all.

This is the only possibility Wei Wenzhen is thinking of now.

But Zhao Xin still shook his head and said, "You're wrong again. Each of these ministers is a pillar of our Great Qin Empire. Each of them is resourceful and resourceful. How could they be mere decoration? Is the court the place to discuss military secrets?"

Wei Wenzhen then realized that there was actually a spy in their court.

This seemed incredible to him. The officials of their Great Qin Empire had been replaced countless times.

Basically, anyone who doesn't get along with their emperor will be replaced immediately.

I didn't expect that after so many changes, there would still be spies who were close to others.

His Majesty the Emperor said this deliberately to send out a signal that the warehouses of the Qin Empire were not so secure.

If that is the case, then what does the emperor of their Great Qin Empire want to do?

Is that an attempt to lure the enemy into taking the bait?

This is the only possibility.

In the eastern part of the Qin Empire, there is a place called Puhai.

Here, there are two major rivers of the Qin Empire, flowing from Puhai in the north and south into the sea of ​​the Qin Empire.

A small piece of land formed in this place, but it was a very important port of the Qin Empire.

At the beginning of such an important port, there is naturally a very large warehouse.

Tens of millions of dan of grain were stored here, and they needed to be transported by sea every day to other places under the control of the Qin Empire.

There are more than 500 people responsible for guarding this warehouse.

However, these 500-plus soldiers were not truly strong soldiers, but some wounded veterans. The Qin Empire took special care of wounded veterans.

Not only can we use various medical methods to recover their injuries, but even if they are missing an arm or a leg, we can reinstall a leg for them. Then we will no longer let them serve in the army, but instead arrange for them to do some easier jobs.

The more than 500 soldiers around the Puhai warehouse have such identities. Some of them have broken arms and some have broken legs.

If this had happened in the past, they would have been basically useless.

After all, they don’t have such good medical conditions, and they have no ability to work. At most, we can give them some money and let them fend for themselves.

But their emperor was different. He used special methods to reattach their legs or hands, and then let them guard the warehouse in this place.
