    Qin Army scouts discovered a natural open-air saline-alkali land on the west coast of the Persian Gulf. It was more than ten miles in radius and was covered with a thick layer of salt-alkali.  Qin Feng was overjoyed and immediately sent an army of 100,000 to install salt-alkali.  After the soldiers of the Qin army arrived, they didn't need to dig deep. They just brought a few shovels and made a sack. ???????????????? Where can we dig out the saline-alkali drops? How can we dig in the saline-alkali soil, and how can we dig out a sack?  One digs one sack.  "And in the Qin army's camp outside the northwest city of Babylon, it was full of enthusiasm, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers worked together to dig wells.  After Tiberius, the Roman governor of Babylon, received the news, he hurriedly went to the city wall to see what was going on.  Deputy Doyuschi asked: "Mr. Governor, what are the Qin troops doing? What are they digging for?" In fact, Tiberius didn't know what the Qin troops were doing. He said, "The Qin troops must be planning to besiege us for a long time. The Qin people  You are cunning and cunning, you must always be on high alert to inform the logistics officer that the crops in the private land in the city must be taken care of. Since the Qin army wants to use up our food and grass, there is no way." In ancient times, especially in the battles of Western city-states, it was a one-hit battle.  More than ten years.  For example, the Battle of Troy lasted a generation.  In this city-state, there is private land, which can produce food when surrounded.  Tiberius didn¡¯t know what was going on, but just ordered a high degree of alert and be prepared to hold on for a long time.  "The Qin army officers and soldiers worked together and dug more than a thousand deep wells with water permeability in three days.  As for alkali and salt reserves, the Qin army has accumulated tens of thousands of tons.  Sack after sack of alkali salt was poured into the well, so much so that it had no time to melt before it rose to the top, becoming a solid salt well.  that's all.  Each wellhead is guarded by a team of soldiers, who keep sufficient alkali salts in the wells to be melted day and night.  Qin Feng In order to achieve the best results.  He also ordered the soldiers to dump alkali salt into the Euphrates River on a large scale.  As a result, Qin's 300,000-strong army established a complete set of alkali and salt conveyor belts.  The salt is loaded here and transported over and poured into the river, exactly like the fully automatic machines of later generations.  Tens of thousands of tons of salt were poured in all at once, and through the flow of water, it quickly reached the groundwater under the city of Babylon.  On the evening of this day, the Governor's Palace of Babylon, which was the former palace of the Babylonian dynasty.  Above this palace is a hanging garden with fragrant flowers and plants. It is truly a rare and superior palace complex.  Tiberius sat at the table in the dining hall.  Get ready for dinner for the day.  Soon, bread, steak, and beef soup arrived.  Tiberius had the habit of drinking soup first to moisten his intestines. He picked up the silver spoon and scooped a spoonful of thick broth into the silver plate. He put it in his mouth and closed his eyes, ready to enjoy it.  Fragrant.  After all, he had been busy all night.  After preparing to eat and drink enough, take a big health care.  Tiberius had just closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, wide open.  His brows were furrowed and his cheeks were shaking, as if he had drunk poison.  There was a pop.  He sprayed it all out, "I'm so salty. I'm so salty! It's so disgusting!" He wiped his mouth with a napkin and shouted: "Bring me the chef!" After a while.  Chef Maomao came in blankly, looking frightened.  Tiberius said angrily: "What's the matter with you? You put so much salt, don't you want the governor to have a pleasant meal? If the governor can't eat well, how can he lead the army in the battle? If the war fails, are you responsible?" Can the chef resist?  With such a big responsibility, he knelt down and said: "My Lord Governor, no, I don't. As usual, I have been with you for more than ten years, and the amount is the same every time." Tiberius' left eye  Squinting, staring with his right eye, with a dark face, he pushed the plate and said, "You often do it yourself!" The chef hurriedly came to the opposite table, tremblingly pulled the plate over, scooped up the spoon, and put it in his mouth.  Too salty!  The chef couldn't hold back, and sprayed out with a pop, hitting the face of Tiberius at the opposite table.  With saliva and soup all over his face, it gathered down his cheeks and dripped down his chin. Tiberius's brain suddenly exploded. Thinking about his glorious bloodline, where he had been humiliated like this, he slapped the table and shouted: "Drag him out and behead him."  "Behead him!" The soldiers immediately went up to seize the cook, and the cook shouted: "Governor, spare your life, spare your life!" How can you forgive the honor being stained by a little cook? Tiberius shouted: "Behead him, behead him!"  Flag!" Poof, "Wow!" There was a noise outside, and the chef died just like that.  There was no soup, so Tiberius asked his soldiers to get some water. After eating the bread, he just took a sip and sprayed again.  He was almost mad. He pointed angrily at the soldier who was holding the water and roared: "You dare to play tricks on me. Come on, drag me out and kill me!" "My Lord Governor, this is water just brought from the well.  Many people have seen it, Lord Governor!" the soldiers exclaimed.  At this time, deputy Doyus ran in. Not knowing what was going on here, he beat his chest and said: "Mr. Governor, XuMany centurions complained, saying that the logistics department was slacking off and the food they cooked was so salty.  I sent someone to check and found out that there was something wrong with the water in the well.  The water in the well has become salty and cannot be drunk.  This is a big problem, sir. Go and have a look!  " Tiberius was shocked, "What, there's something wrong with the water source!  "Only then did he realize that he had killed the chef by mistake, and the soldiers also saved their lives. "This water, like food, is the basis for human survival. Without water, the war will be defeated," Tiberius's face changed again, and he said in surprise  : ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look!  " Tiberius rode his horse and galloped around the city. Wherever he went, there was a lot of curses. Of course, they were not scolding him, but scolding the water. And Tiberius himself also squirted water from the mouth of a well. He drank.  All the water in the wells spurted out. ¡°How is this possible?  "Tiberius stood by the last well, his eyes dull, his breath confused, and hundreds of question marks flashing across his head. "Did he offend the water god?  "Doius said. "People in ancient times were still superstitious, especially Rome, where there were hundreds of gods. Tiberius was furious and shouted: "Fart, the gods are angry, and the gods must first punish the Qin people outside the city."  Where are the arms turned outwards, eh?  " "Yes, yes, yes"  Doyusi was sweating, "Mr. Governor, this water"  " Tiberius was also in trouble. He couldn't even imagine that he was beaten to death. It was specially made by Emperor Hongwu. "Send an order to the whole army to quickly go to the river outside the west city wall to fetch water.  " Doyusi patted his curly hair and said, "What a great idea, Lord Governor!  "He immediately put on his big brush helmet, led the chief centurion, and led the army to fetch water. Tiberius didn't want to sit around and wait, so he followed. After a while, under the moonlight, the entire west city was covered with Roman soldiers, one by one.  Just on the edge of the city wall, under the moonlight, it was like jumping into the river to commit suicide. Many wooden barrels tied with ropes were thrown down. The chief centurion Dexar was very strong, and he was the first to lift a bucket of water.  I was so thirsty that I took a deep breath and suddenly choked, my eyes bulging out, "Uh"  "He vomited for a while. He couldn't drink the water and vomited out the dry rice. "The river water has also become salty!  "Tiberius was shocked. And very far away, the Qin army officers were sitting on boats and lined up on the river, pouring sack after sack of alkali salt into the river. The river is alive, the Qin army  It was impossible to make the entire river salty, but if it was only a short distance, there would still be no problem. Tiberius was completely panicked. Without water, his army would be defeated. After two days, the entire Roman army was in a state of water shortage.  Even if it is salty water, you still need to drink it. So, many people boiled water together, and some people discovered that when the water was boiled, the water on the pot lid was not salty. Ordinary soldiers did not know this.  It is distilled water, but when Tiberius learned about it, he was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said: "How could I forget what Aristotle wrote about distillation!  " Aristotle, the ancient Greek scholar, once wrote: "Through distillation, water is first turned into steam and then into liquid, so that seawater can be turned into drinkable water." So, Tiberius sent an order to everyone.  The army collected distilled water. For a time, more than 100,000 Romans boiled water together, and all available pots and pans were used. On the third day, when Qin Feng led the army to march into the city again, he found out.  , the city of Babylon became a foggy city. The entire city was shrouded in white smoke, and although the Roman soldiers on the city were a little tired, they could not see any signs of dehydration. Qin Feng was also puzzled.  What's going on? Did the emperor's plan fail? Pang Tong said: "Is it possible that the Romans' physique is different from ours, so it's okay with salt water?  " In the context of backward times, some people may agree with these remarks, but Qin Feng, who comes from later generations, will never believe it. Human beings are all the same, and no one can survive by drinking salty water. " Qin Feng looked at the cloud-like smoke in the distance,  Suddenly enlightened, he slapped his forehead and said: "Distillation, you still underestimate the Romans!  " There were bronze stills during the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they were used to distill wine. The Romans were not short of water because of this. Under the clouds and smoke, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty retreated like a tide. Tiberius was baffled, and all of Rome  The army just thought that the Qin army was frightened by the smoke in the city. They shouted for the gods to protect them, and for a while they "made trouble". Qin Feng returned to the imperial tent and threw his big gun, and the officials were also depressed.  Depressed, "The emperor's good method was actually broken by the Romans!  "The plan failed, and Qin Feng was very embarrassed. At this time, Lao Jia Xu came out of work and excitedly played: "It was benevolence that allowed the Romans to crack it.  " Including Qin Feng, everyone's minds were moved. What's going on? Why does this have anything to do with the emperor's Ren La? Old Jia Xu explained the story and finally said: "Actually, if the emperor's method changes slightly, if  If this happens, the enemy will be completely wiped out!  "Everyone was shocked, and couldn't stop trembling in their hearts. They secretly exclaimed, "It's poisonous, it's really poisonous. This is a rhythm that kills 300,000 people in one go.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
