With such a huge gap in power, she really had no interest in dealing with a small descendant of Qi.
In comparison, Zhao Qingrui was more concerned about the situation in Shangjun and Jiuyuanjun.
The army had already faced the army of the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun. The Qin army was invincible and surrounded the Xiongnu all the way, defeating the Xiongnu coalition forces and making them lose their temper.
Listening to his father talking about the situation at the border every day, Zhao Qingrui's smile deepened.
In a few days, the Huns will be wiped out.
"The Great Qin Shi Huang has issued an order that those who surrender will not be killed. Otherwise, a decisive battle will be fought in five days to wipe out all the tribes." The soldiers on horseback shouted loudly, shouting as they ran.
The atmosphere in the Xiongnu royal court was particularly cold.
It's almost a matter of life and death. Who would want to die if they can live?
"What should we do?" People from the Western Regions kept sighing. They were no match for the huge Xiongnu and Yuezhi, nor were they a match for the most powerful Qin. They were swept up in the general trend and threatened by Maodun Chanyu, and were forced to join the coalition forces.
The people from the countries in the Western Regions looked at each other, each making their own calculations.
Maodun Chanyu looked at the group of people who had lost their fighting spirit with a very ugly expression.
The strength of the Qin Dynasty was beyond everyone's expectations.
Since the two armies fought, they have not won a single battle and have killed very few Qin soldiers.
Maodun was now in self-doubt. The elite troops he had personally trained over the years were no match for the Qin Dynasty. This was really hard for him to accept.
The morale of the army is already low at this moment. The most urgent task is to win a victory and break the encirclement of the Qin army. Otherwise, they really have no way out.
"How many men and food do we have left?" Maodun asked the person in charge of logistics.
"Reply to Chanyu, the coalition forces still have a total of 130,000 men, 50,000 war horses, and food and fodder that can only sustain them for two months."
After hearing his words, a layer of gloom appeared on the faces of the people present.
They really have no confidence in defeating the Qin Dynasty.
"I have sent people to investigate. The enemy coming from the west is slightly weaker. How about we concentrate all our strength to attack Daqin? Otherwise, once they surround us, we will be really finished." Maodun glanced at everyone and said coldly.
This bunch of trash can't play any role on the battlefield. They only know how to enjoy themselves. If it weren't for the military power, he wouldn't tolerate these people alive.
Ying Zheng was unaware of the excitement on the Xiongnu side. During this period, under his surrender order, some small tribes could not hold on and surrendered to the Qin Dynasty.
These people have been settled separately. Now, as long as Maodun Chanyu and his men are killed, the others are nothing at all.
"Within half a year, we will completely subdue these tribes." Ying Zheng looked at the map in front of him, feeling very happy.
"Half a year is enough." Meng Tian nodded seriously. With the strength of the Qin army, if they were not afraid of forcing the coalition forces into a corner, they could have rushed forward directly.
-----------------
With Zhao Qingrui's financial resources, the people of the Mohist School were very motivated. With the hard work of hundreds of people, a medium-sized clipper ship that Zhao Qingrui needed was built.
"Master, can such a ship really sail?" The people of Mohism were still a little unsure.
"Let someone try it first." Su Ling had confidence in Zhao Qingrui, and he also wanted to see if this boat could really work.
"I'll do it. I've brought some great sailors with me." Sui Shicong said immediately. After knowing that it was Zhao Qingrui who ordered the ship to be built, he trusted Zhao Qingrui very much.
"Okay." Su Ling did not refuse.
At Sui Shicong's command, the clipper boat was pushed into the water. Sui Shicong, standing on the boat, grabbed the sail. Yan Shuang and the others leaned on the deck, watching the boat swaying with the lake water, feeling a little uneasy.
Su Ling untied the rope himself, and Sui Shicong raised the sail and shouted, "Set sail!"
As the sail was raised, Sui Shicong quickly adjusted the sail, and a north wind suddenly blew on the lake.
The north wind blew on the sails, giving the sailboat power. The sailboat suddenly accelerated and rushed directly out of the dock.
Everyone on the shore was shocked by the speed of the clipper, and some of the people on the boat were so scared that they screamed.
Yan Shuang did not scream. She stood up carefully from the deck and looked at the dock that was getting farther and farther away and smaller in confusion. Was the ship really starting to move?
However, although the clipper ship is different from other ships of the Qin Dynasty, it has the structure of keel, deck and sails. Yan Shuang is not surprised that this ship can be sailed.
What surprised him was that the boat was so stable.
The hull, which was shaking even when parked on the shore, was surprisingly stable when sailing at high speed. He could stand on the deck even if he let go of his hands.
Sui Shicong operated the sail somewhat awkwardly, and the clipper boat seemed to be flying on the lake.
Seeing that they would soon reach the other side, Sui Shicong immediately set sail and returned.
He wanted a big ship like this. He couldn't leave here, so he had to go to the sea to sail safely.
When Sui Shicong thought of that scene, he became very excited.
After they returned, all the people from the Mo family gathered around and were very interested in the sailboat.
Su Ling was also very interested. Seeing that they all wanted to try it, Sui Shicong pulled the sail again, called everyone up, and took the boat out for a few more laps.
"This ship is really good. We need such a big ship when we go out to sea." Sui Shicong waved his hand and wanted to replace his ten ships with such a fast ship.
"Yes, but building ships specifically for this purpose requires a lot of money, and the national treasury cannot afford such consumption." Su Ling looked at Sui Shicong.
