The Qiang people in the mountains handed the soil in the hands of the corporal, and then said what?
"Oh. I see." At this moment, the second lieutenant suddenly understood.
"Til means land. What he means is that it is very possible that they will exchange the land with us," the second lieutenant said.
"Is that what you mean?" asked the corporal.
"Whether you mean it or not, hurry up and call Qin Guo's interpreter, and then you will understand everything at once. Hurry up." The second lieutenant asked others to quickly invite Qin Guo's interpreter.
Afterwards, Qin Guo's translator came, and all the problems were explained clearly.The Qiang people in the mountains believed that what the people of Qin wanted was too expensive.Qin Guo’s translators were a bit frustrated. They wanted to trade with Zhao Guoren. They thought Zhao Guoren was very honest. They wanted to exchange the shepherds in their hands for the supplies they needed. Because the supplies were large and their skins were not much, they planned to trade.With these materials, they can get more land.So they want to close the deal.All of a sudden everyone understood.
2054 Stabbed Qin in the back
When this news reached the first-level headquarters of the Zhao Legion.The commander of Zhao Jun was in trouble.
"It's not that we don't want these lands, but these lands are too barren. There is no development value, otherwise the Qin army would not have defended here for such a long time without doing anything." A Shao Xingmou said .
"I think these lands can be occupied." At this time, a captain whispered while holding his ear.His voice was very small, and he sounded very unconfident, but with such sincerity, few people would take the initiative to speak up, he said.Instead, it aroused the initiative of others.
"Occupy, do you want to trigger the second Changping War?" At this time, a higher-ranking Zhong Xie said disdainfully.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the Colonel.
"How important is the place we occupy. It is the place south of the Hexi Corridor. This place has a high terrain. If the Qin army attacks from the Hexi Corridor, it will be a feint attack. This is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We occupy such a place. cut off the Hexi Corridor. In this way, Qin State and the Western Regions will lose contact, not only that. If we move fast enough, it is very likely to affect the hinterland of Qin State in Guanzhong , In this case, Qin State will have to allocate a considerable amount of troops to deal with us, how do you think Qin State will treat us when facing such a place?" The lieutenant colonel asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.Because they know.This is the so-called strategy, and the analysis is very correct.If they were from Qin, from the perspective of Qin, they would allow Zhao to occupy such an important place.As long as Zhao Jun charges, it will cause a huge impact.Once Qin's Hexi Corridor is broken, Qin's trade in the Western Regions will be cut off.This is the last thing Qin wants to see.The Hexi Corridor was cut off.The Hexi Corridor will become an enclave.Will the Qin Congress let Zhao Guo stab a knife in the back like this?Certainly not.Therefore, the two sides will quickly start a struggle on this issue.In this case, it will lead to contradictions.And this kind of contradiction is similar to the battle of Changping when Qin Guo launched it.
The lieutenant colonel is a staff officer, and it is easy for him to think about problems with a higher level of strategic vision.After all, he has the capital to advance.A regiment, such a level of combat, must have a certain strategic awareness, and at the same time undertake more tactical tasks. Its role is to link the past and the future. Many commanders must have this awareness, and this awareness.CITIC said such words.
"So that's how it is." The commander said with a sense of enlightenment at this time.
"That's true. If we lead to bigger problems, we will go to a military court." It's just that. If we do this, our country Zhao is a bit too greedy. If we are too greedy. Moreover, the translator of Qin State knows this This is the most unfavorable thing for us. Therefore, such an idea cannot exist.” Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Guo’s security considerations warned that such a matter should be dealt with coldly, as if it had never happened.he knows.The current situation in Zhao State can no longer develop to such a step.
"However, it is such a barren land, and the people of the Qin State care about it, isn't it too unnatural." The commander said.
"Besides, Zhao Guo has been losing the land before. With this kind of land, in Zhao Guo, this can enter the circle of nobles. Think about it, what is this, this is an opportunity, this is an opportunity for wealth." Commander The officer showed a greedy look.
"The people of Qin sent us to this ruined place, and watched the soldiers of the Qin army get their money one by one. Could it be that we should wait like this. After a few years of old age, we have nothing. In this case, what else can we get in the end? "At this time the commander asked.
"Everyone is still young now. Get something and keep it for our children and grandchildren. It's not like we haven't fought a big war before." The commander said.
"I see something like this. Send a telegram to the general. How to consider it is their business. If it is passed, we can have our own land⊥ as a colony." The commander decided to arrive.When the lieutenant colonel heard such a decision, he stood up in shock and looked at the commander, but the commander had already made a decision.It's hard to change.The biggest difference between a commander and a staff officer is that a staff officer needs to consider a lot of issues, such as marching routes and logistical supplies, etc., while a commander only has one decision, and what kind of consequences will he bear for such a decision? What officials think about is thinking.The commander is decisive.
In this way, this matter was reported to Zhao Guo Handan.
Just when Zhao Jun decided to consider reporting this matter, Qin Guo had already sent such a telegram to his staff.Because the Qin Guo translator thought the situation was very serious.Moreover, this was a major event, so he immediately reported it to the Qin State Staff Department.
Inside the General Staff.
"What does this mean?" Wang Jian asked while looking at the telegram.
"Why did those damn mountain people seek Zhao people instead of us Qin?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.
"This." Yang Duan and himself don't know what happened.Why did those damn mountain Qiang people look for Zhao Jun instead of them, and when they did, it was like this.It was too unexpected for them to exchange their land for supplies.
"This place is too important. You know, this place is the throat of Qin State, the Hexi Corridor. Once the Hexi Corridor is cut off, the throat of the entire Western Region will be stuck." That's all, and our Guanzhong rear The hinterland is about to be opened up. From the perspective of national defense, it is very unfavorable." Wang Jian said worriedly.
"This. What should I do?" Yang Duanhe asked.
"This matter is no longer up to us to decide. If I were from the state of Zhao, I would definitely fight over this matter. Tell the prime minister, and the king, this is no longer up to us to decide." Wang Jian said.
"However, our attitude must be clarified. Next, we have to look at the developments in Zhao. Even if we do not hesitate to start a war, we must prevent such things from happening." Wang Jian said.
"Yes." Yang Duanhe nodded.He also knows.If such a thing really happens, it must be related to the fundamental purpose of the two countries.Once Zhao Guoren agrees, Qin is bound to stop it.People in the state of Qin don't want to see the state of Zhao stabbing themselves in the back.
2055 save a sum of money
"This is stabbing Qin in the back. ?? These damn mountain Qiang people. I want to mobilize an army to put him down." I saw such a report.King Qin scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter has not yet been settled, and the State of Zhao has not made a specific decision. I, the State of Qin, should not react too aggressively." Meng Yi said at this time.
King Qin tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.Listening patiently to Meng Yi's persuasion.At this moment, Meng Yi saw King Qin calm down.Meng Yi caught the meeting in time and persuaded King Qin.
"In addition, the Prime Minister also made a conclusion before that, in order to win over these countries, they must allow these countries to establish colonies. These colonies can weaken the few nomadic tribes around Qin on the one hand. On the other hand, they can also expand Qin through these colonies. Assuming that this time Zhao Guo established a colony, but I think that place is extremely barren and it is difficult to accommodate a large number of people. The population of the colony is very small and the food is very little. In this way, the colony will be heavily dependent on Qin State. With the deepening of the transaction, they must have a great affection and dependence on Qin State. Although it is a colony of Zhao State, it may become a state of Qin State in the future. Let Zhao State help Qin State to go Expand, in this way, bad things will become good things." Meng Yi persuaded.
King Qin nodded at this time.At this point he calmed down.At this moment, he remembered that Shangwen had such an idea before.It's just that no country did this at the time.Now that I think about it, Shangwen has accurately predicted such a thing.
"Your Majesty, if you do this, it will harm Qin's national security. If such a thing happens, there will be serious consequences." Wang Jian said from the perspective of national security.
King Qin frowned when he heard this. Wang Jian was right, this is indeed national security.If there is a colony of Zhao State, the security of Qin State's flanks, especially the Hexi Corridor, will still be greatly threatened.
"Your Majesty, the State of Zhao does not have the strength to do so at present, and the State of Qin can use the method of fighting together. If the State of Qin controls the market of the State of Zhao, no matter how many colonies the State of Zhao has, it will also be the market of our State of Qin. It is also part of our Qin country." Meng Yi persuaded.
Faced with the way of economic infiltration, King Qin was indeed very satisfied. Although his speed seemed slow, not as fast as conquering by force, but there were not many side effects, and he came very docilely.This is what military conquest does not have.
"Your Majesty, the mountain Qiang people are the most difficult for us to deal with, because the cost of using war is too high. And using trade, the mountain Qiang people are too poor. They don't have much supplies and need to open Otherwise, we will not go further, and the Qiang people in the mountains are very prejudiced against us, if the Zhao people can solve this problem, it will definitely be solved very well." Meng Yi suggested.
"En." King Qin hummed.
"Send a telegram to the prime minister and see what he thinks?" Qin Wang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yi and Wang Jian saluted.
Inside Shangwen's temporary office.
"I don't think there is anything to think about about this matter." Shang Wen said at this time.
"The Zhao Kingdom also needs colonies, they need a market, and they need a place where they can develop and solve the excess population of the local population." Shang Wen said.
"In addition, Qin State also needs to solve the surrounding countries, but the cost of Qin State is too high." Shang Wen said.
"The only way to solve this problem is to establish a colony, but I heard that near Qilian Mountain, the Qin army has done a lot of evil, and their business is very dishonest. They often take crazy demands from trade. In this way, the mountainous Qiang people are very dissatisfied with the Qin army, and they can immediately. But the strange thing is that they can't do anything." Shang Wen said.
"This is the helplessness of the Qiang people in the mountains. If things go on like this, Qin will neither be able to engage in market speculation, nor will it be able to withdraw troops from that area through peaceful means. This has put a lot of pressure on the Qin army," Shang Wen said. arrive.
"Moreover, the line of defense is very long, and the strategic location of this area is very prominent, which makes it difficult for the Qin army to deploy troops here. This is a burden. But if it is replaced by Zhao Guoren, Zhao Guoren must first deal with the mountains Qiang people, because of the traditional concept of the Qiang people in the mountains. This is their place. They must not allow other people to come in." Shang Wen said.
"If the Zhao people can open up a colony of their own, we only need to defend the Zhao people. Zhao has a colony, and many materials need to be imported from Qin." Shang Wen said.
"Such as food, weapons and ammunition. There are other materials. If they are opened separately, they also need technology. They are too close to Qin State. So they are greatly influenced by our Qin State." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. It looks like this. Are you supporting Zhao people to have their own colony?" Mo Li asked Shang Wen.
"Yes." Shangwen nodded.
"I think so," Shang Wen said.
"If you do this, there will be great benefits. There are many benefits. Qin has no reason not to agree." Shang Wen said.
