The most important thing for cavalry was their charging force and mobility. It was the mobility and huge charging force that infantry could not hope to achieve.
If these two things were lost, the cavalry would not be as lethal as an infantry. So when they saw this scene, many generals of the vassal states who were relatively familiar with military affairs already knew the final result.
This Japanese army, which had the largest number of people and the fiercest resistance since the march, was quickly routed. The cavalry of the Qin Army followed closely behind and killed them, making them flee in all directions like headless flies. Then the infantry of the Qin Army spread out and began to hunt down the scattered Japanese army in small groups.
The result was self-evident. The Qin Army won a complete victory, beheading more than 1,200 people. It was not that they did not want to kill more, but that they were routed too quickly. The cavalry of the Qin Army did not have many cavalry, so they could not catch up with them. So Ma Wei ordered the troops to stop chasing.
There was indeed nothing to chase after a group of refugees. Their heads were not worth much at all.
The Japanese official who organized the resistance was quite courageous. After the defeat, he committed suicide on the battlefield and was not captured by the Daqin soldiers. But Beizen State had undoubtedly fallen into the hands of the Daqin. Ma Wei immediately ordered to find out the situation of the local iron mine, and then write a report to Xiao Ruxun.
After witnessing the Qin Army easily defeating the Japanese army, the generals of the vassal states were even more afraid of the Daqin. Of course, in addition to fear, they also had a lot of other thoughts. For example, many of them had better vision and could see the special way the Qin Army trained their soldiers.
To be able to command the army with drums and flags so accurately, and to be as obedient as the arms of a general, this was obviously not a simple army. It must be an army that had been very well trained.
And most of the armies of these vassal states were very small in number. Not only were they small in number, but their weapons were also weak and their training was poor. Not to mention the Daqin army, they might not even win against the Japanese army.
But small countries had their own way of survival, and a small army also had its own way of existence. Now they could not imagine the scene of fighting against the Daqin. Of course, they also believed that the Daqin was not interested in their small businesses. But if the Daqin was not interested, it was possible that they were not interested.
Of course, there were also people who were interested in others.
If they were interested in someone else, it would be very simple. The other party's army might be even smaller and weaker than theirs.
When everyone's body size was about the same, the military's weapons, equipment, and training would play a huge and even decisive role.
In a situation where both sides had the same number of people, it was obvious who would win if a well-equipped army fought against an army with bamboo spears and wooden sticks.
Soon, the Gao Ping Mo Clan's general found Ma Wei.
Although the Mo Clan of Gaoping only had a small piece of land and a population of 100,000 left, this time, they still squeezed out 500 people to support the Daqin. It could be said that they were doing their best with sincerity.
Xiao Ruxun was also very comforted and issued an edict to encourage the Mo family's loyalty. At the same time, he further confirmed that the Mo family was Daqin's younger brother and a model vassal state. He allowed them to separate themselves from Gaoping and forbade the Zheng family from attacking.
Although the Mo Clan had received the protection of the Daqin, they still felt uneasy without a gun in their hands. Facing the Zheng family, which had a population of 1.8 million, the Mo Clan's legs trembled.
Therefore, the Mo Clan tried every possible way to prolong the dynasty's life. Now that they saw the Qin Army in real battle, the Mo Clan's general's mind was filled with ideas.
If they could ask the officers of the Daqin army to help them train the army, they could certainly train an army that would obey orders and prohibitions. Once this army was trained, even if it only had a few thousand people, if they used the Daqin standard weapons and wore the Daqin armor, they would certainly be formidable in battle.
Although the Zheng family had a large population, they did not have too many troops. The main force was only about 50,000 to 60,000 people. Including the auxiliary troops and civilian workers, it would not exceed 100,000. They could not afford to be militaristic. They did not have the confidence and ability to do so.
As long as they had an army like the Daqin army of several thousand people, the Mo Clan's safety would be guaranteed. They might even have a chance to turn things around.
Therefore, the Mo Clan's general, Mo Pingan, found Ma Wei and told him his request.
"You mean, you want the Daqin to send some instructors who are good at training soldiers to help you train the army and enhance its combat effectiveness?"
Ma Wei poured a cup of tea for Mo Pingan, then sat back in his seat and looked at Mo Pingan.
"Yes, I don't know if the Celestial Empire can agree to such a small request? Of course, all the costs and expenses of the instructors will be borne by our country. We will not trouble the Celestial Empire. In addition, after the army is reorganized, our country also hopes to buy a new batch of muskets, cannons, swords, spears, and armor. "
Mo Pingan told Ma Wei all his hopes. Ma Wei frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that this was not a bad idea.
Xiao Ruxun's overall strategy was to ensure the stability of the Daqin, and let the vassal states in Southeast Asia maintain a dynamic balance, within the control of the Daqin, but not to develop into a regional power that would threaten the security of the Daqin.
Therefore, now they wanted to destroy the Siamese Empire and establish a government that was close to the Daqin Empire to control some of the important local industries of the Siamese Empire. This was to choke the Siamese Empire so that it would no longer have complete independence. This was to deal with the Siamese Empire.
As a small and pitiful country, the Mo Clan was only able to survive under the protection of the Daqin Empire. Today, the Daqin Empire said that if they did not protect it, it would be finished tomorrow. Therefore, it responded to the call of the Daqin Empire so enthusiastically and squeezed out 500 people to support the Daqin Empire.
Needless to say, the Mo Clan, the Zheng Clan, the Nguyen Clan, and the Hua Ying Kingdom, Nanpan Kingdom, and Zhan Kingdom further south divided the land of Vietnam. At the moment, no one could do anything to the other.
In order to survive, the small countries kept the legs of the Daqin Empire. The big countries wanted to unify but were afraid of the existence of the Daqin Empire.
At this time, of course, the Daqin Empire could not allow a unified country to appear. Of course, the more chaotic and separatist they were, the better. The Mo Clan must exist and could not be destroyed. However, with such a deterrent and guarantee, it was estimated that the Mo Clan would not be stable, and the Zheng Clan would not be satisfied either.
If the Mo Clan could not have enough power to protect themselves, how could they be the dog of the Daqin Empire and stir shit?
Thinking of this, Ma Wei suddenly felt that this request was quite reasonable. After thinking about it again and again, he said that he would report this matter to the Emperor of the Daqin Empire. As long as the Emperor of the Daqin Empire agreed, then everything else could be discussed.
Only then did Mo Ping 'an say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, he gave Ma Wei some agate pearls and asked Ma Wei to put in a good word for him.
Ma Wei did not know whether to laugh or cry. After calling the military judge to register these agate pearls, he was relieved to accept them.
This was also the rule of the Xiao Ruxun Empire. He could accept gifts, but he had to register them with the military judge. After that, he had to avoid arousing suspicion to prevent others from gossiping.
He told this matter to the Chief of Staff and asked the Chief of Staff to write a report to the Emperor.
Let the Emperor decide whether to agree to the Mo Clan's request and train some elite troops for the Mo Clan to protect themselves. At the same time, he could also evaluate whether this method would also be beneficial to the control of the other small vassal states by the Daqin Empire.
Ma Wei vaguely felt that this should be a very meaningful approach.
