All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 405: Northern Attack on the Huns
"Respectfully inform the two worlds of heaven and earth, the emperor of the human world has appeared."

"All under heaven belongs to the king; all within the four seas are the king's subjects"

"From the ends of the earth to the corners of the sea, the people are all here."

On the high platform, Li Si shouted prayers at the top of his lungs, not caring whether the heaven and earth could hear them or not; he just shouted at the top of his lungs.

With a solemn expression, Ying Zheng, wearing his crown, waited quietly for the moment when he would step onto the stage of history.

From today on, there will be no more Son of Heaven or King in the world, only Human Emperor and Emperor.

There were many people coming to watch the ceremony. Except for the nobles and former nobles from various countries who were forced to come, everyone else was full of awe.

This historic event is truly spectacular.

Among the crowd who came to watch the ceremony, there were some people who were lying down and were carried here.

That’s right, Zou Yan and Xunzi were too old and had already exhausted their energy, but they forced themselves to stay alive just to watch the ceremony.

They were half lying on the bed, their cloudy eyes could no longer see clearly the scene on the high platform in the distance. Li Si's desperate roar was also to see off his teacher who was about to complete the last journey of his life.

As they listened, tears began to flow.

Zou Yan said hoarsely, "For hundreds of years, the princes have been fighting each other. Year after year, month after month, day after day! The lives of the common people, the countrymen and the barbarians are nothing but farming and fighting."

"Now, finally, the world is at peace and there is no need to fight anymore."

"Yes." Xunzi beside him also smiled, "The world is peaceful now."

Chen Ran opened his mouth and was about to say, "The ceremony is over here, and Ying Zheng is about to send Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu~~~"

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

These two people are about to die, so why bother them anymore? Just let them leave with hope.

After Li Si finished reading the prayer and Ying Zheng went through the procedures, and countless people watching the ceremony shouted "Long live Your Majesty, long live!", the ceremony was declared over.

Li Si came running towards them with staggering steps.

"Master, Master~~~"

When he arrived at the bedside, Xunzi had already died with a smile on his face.

"Xunzi felt that the world would be peaceful from now on, and the people would live and work in peace and contentment." Chen Ran at the side said, "He died with a smile on his face."

After saying that, he signaled to Zou Yan's followers and disciples to lift up the bed of Zou Yan, who was also lifeless, and take it away.

Zou Yan and Xunzi were considered the lucky ones of their generation, as they were at least able to witness the unification and peace of the world.

In comparison, most of his contemporaries had already died on the battlefield or in their beds.

Sometimes living long enough is indeed very useful.

"You didn't send anyone to inform Han Fei in Shu County?"

Hearing Chen Ran's question, Li immediately stopped crying, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Han Fei was determined to practice the idea that the prime minister should start from the prefectures and counties." Chen Ran said with a smile, "But you also wanted to be the prime minister, so you went against him and stayed in the court. Even when Xunzi asked you to inform Han Fei, you just perfunctorily did it."

"National Master." Li Si finally looked up. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Wrong?" Chen Ran laughed again. "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. How can you say that you are wrong to do things for your own future?"

He raised his hand and patted Li Si's shoulder. "Just do your own thing and have a clear conscience. If you encounter any backlash or retribution, don't cry or complain. This is something you should have been mentally prepared for."

Li Si nodded, indicating that he understood.

After taking care of Zou Yan's funeral, Chen Ran did not stay in Xianyang for long. He quickly left the city and went to the breeding base in Lantian County.

Compared to various corporate factories, Chen Ran prefers to stay in the breeding base.

The reason is very simple. Factories everywhere are like steel forests. Apart from the roar of machines and pungent smells, there is no living person.

Even someone like Chen Ran, who has experienced many worlds, would feel uneasy if he stayed in there for a long time.

The only place that doesn't have this feeling is the breeding base.

There are birds singing and flowers blooming here. There are all kinds of flowers, plants and trees everywhere. More importantly, there are large livestock being raised on a scale of tens of thousands.

At the beginning, Chen Ran raised various types of horses. After expanding the population to a sufficient size, he now started to raise black and white dairy cows.

After all, he knew very well that milk products were an important source of energy for humans to improve their physical fitness.

To improve physical fitness, dairy products are very important. Don't believe the nonsense from those experts. You can't go wrong by focusing on milk and beef.

"After training this batch of dairy cows, we can switch to beef cattle."

Chen Ran, who was squatting beside the pasture fence, raised his hand and pushed away the cow's head that was approaching. "Speaking of beef cattle, the Japanese Wagyu is definitely good. It's just that it's too delicate and difficult to raise."

He opened the virtual screen of the breeding center and kept scrolling through the items, choosing targets from among thousands of different types of beef cattle.

If you want to raise fish, raise a single species, which can quickly expand the population size.

After all, what he needs is quantity, quantity that can quickly supply a population of tens of millions.

"Got it." After looking through it for a long time, Chen Ran finally selected a beef cattle breed, "Simmental cattle."

"Large body, fast growth, high muscle mass, low fat, bright red flesh, fine texture, elasticity, and high-quality fat."

"What's even more outrageous is that this is a breed that can be used for both milk and meat, with an average annual milk production of 4 tons?!"

"Okay, okay, it's you."

Why can people in Middle-earth only eat pork? I want people in this world to eat beef from now on!

While Chen Ran was raising cattle in the breeding base, Meng Tian had already led an army of 300,000 northward.

Of course, it is impossible for 300,000 people to walk together, and they didn’t even start from Xianyang City.

The troops mobilized from various places, with several thousand or even tens of thousands of people in a team, set out from various counties and prefectures to gather at the border area of ​​the Great Wall. Meng Tian, ​​who received the seal of general from Ying Zheng, only took more than 30,000 people from the vicinity of Xianyang City, and set out in batches on the train heading north.

Now the Qin army's way of fighting has gradually become institutionalized, which is marching along the railway tracks.

Wherever there are railways, there are endless horse-drawn trains carrying logistical supplies and personnel equipment.

Its transportation efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of previous civilian transportation.

After all, if 10,000 civilians transport 10,000 dan of grain to the border, they will consume 8,000 dan on the way.

A horse-drawn train only needs a few hundred stones of food and fodder.

Most of the soldiers and horses that Meng Tian took with him this time were combat soldiers, and the proportion of civilians dropped significantly.

No country can have 300,000 soldiers. Regular armies of this size, all of them soldiers, only exist in novels.

Under normal circumstances, most people are laborers.

The elite vanguard led the civilians to clear the way, cut through mountains, build bridges over rivers, and construct camps for the troops behind.

Teams of soldiers took turns pushing forward, and the limit was to march dozens of miles a day.

It is for this reason that years were used as the unit of measurement in ancient wars.

At this time, the Qin State had already built railways to the northern border, but the Yellow River was too wide to build an iron bridge, so they had to use ferries to transport goods.

Meng Tian came over, got off the horse-drawn train and walked around the river. He immediately ordered that a floating bridge must be built at all costs.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t build an iron bridge, but we must at least have a floating bridge!

The floating bridge they used was not the traditional one made by connecting wooden fishing boats together and then covering them with wooden planks.

Instead, it is a steel floating bridge produced by the steel plant, which can even support the passage of temporary railway tracks.

Of course, it is important to choose a suitable river section with a slow current.

The floating bridge and temporary railroad tracks were built and connected to the railway on the other side. The first group of people to cross the bridge were not people, but carts of cows.

That’s right, at Chen Ran’s suggestion, the Qin army carried a large number of dairy cows with them when they went on the expedition.

Cows produce large amounts of milk, which can replenish energy.

Moreover, at critical moments, you can slaughter the cow and eat its meat, which is definitely a must-have for long-distance marches.

Originally, Meng Tian was not qualified to take thousands of black and white cows with him into battle. After all, these dairy cows needed to be bred to expand the dairy cow population.

It was Chen Ran who took the initiative to speak, saying that the most important thing in attacking the Huns in the north was the pursuit, and bringing cows would be very useful for the pursuit.

It was because Chen Ran spoke that Ying Zheng allowed Meng Tian to take away several thousand heads.

The Huns were no strangers to the Qin people.

The two sides had been doing trade for several years. The Huns used the captured people from other tribes to exchange for various good things from the Qin people.

However, when the Qin army concentrated on the border on a large scale, the Huns gradually cut off contact with them.

They were not stupid and knew that their tribe was the largest one near Yinshan Mountain.

After all, it is impossible that the Qin people made such a big fuss just to attack those small tribes with a population of only a few thousand.

All the men, women, old and young in those small tribes added together are still not as many as the Qin soldiers.

Touman Chanyu had been to the Qin cities on the border many times and had witnessed the power of the Qin soldiers.

Very strong. Really very strong.

Apart from anything else, the well-made iron armor that everyone had made Touman jealous and crazy.

However, he was not worried about the Qin people attacking.

After all, although they knew they couldn't win in a head-on battle, the Qin people couldn't catch up with them either.

Wearing armor and chasing a rider on horseback with your legs, there must be something wrong with your brain.

"At worst, we can take the tribe to the north of Yinshan Mountain." Touman snorted twice, raised the glass bottle of wine he bought from Qin and drank it.

He arranged a lot of scouts in the border area in advance, so as long as the Qin people took action, they would be able to get the news quickly.

It would take the Qin people at least a few days to travel here on foot, which was enough time for their tribe to leave.

As for the Qin cavalry, he had seen them before. Their equipment was only slightly better than that of the Huns, but more importantly, their numbers were too small to pose a threat.

Here, Chanyu Touman ate and drank at the same time, and drank three one-pound glass bottles of fine wine.

I was drunk and fell asleep immediately.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I vaguely realized that I was shaking in the haze.

"Could it be that the earth dragon has turned over?" Touman Chanyu subconsciously wanted to get up.

But he had drunk too much strong liquor and was so drunk that he couldn't move at all.

Then he felt a chill on his face.

Under the stimulation, he finally woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the face of his son Maodun in the light of the windproof kerosene lamp in the tent.

"Father!" The young Maodun shouted anxiously, "Get up quickly, the Qin army is coming!"

"How can it be?!"

Touman Chanyu shook his head vigorously. "Did I sleep for several days?!"
