2031 Speculation between two brothers

Negative wants a coup, but he needs financial support. Only these businessmen can provide financial support. They have a lot of money in their hands, but there are no politicians to represent their political demands. As long as they win over these businessmen, he can get A lot of financial support, and then support him to launch a coup and display his political ambitions. ?

Afterwards, the Chu merchants discussed some feasible plans. They believed that they Chu merchants should unite. If they can get a large tax exemption, they are still willing to contribute.

Moreover, at the end, Lu Chu threw out a tempting condition. He knew General Xiang Yan. Out of his reputation for General Xiang Yan, many businessmen expressed their admiration and were willing to provide some funds to support it.In this way, Negium has solved a large part of the funding problem, but in order to obtain funds stably, Negum still needs to do some things, and these things are a coup d'état.Get power, and then you can further win over the support of merchant groups.

Xianyang, Qin State.

"According to the news we got from South Korea, a merchant ship from South Korea was seized by Chu State." Meng Tian said to Meng Yi.

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know?" Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian suspiciously in his office.

"That's what happened in the past few days. This news has not been confirmed. We just got the news from South Korea." Meng Tian said.

"These days, we are paying attention to the mobilization of the Korean army. They seem to be too enthusiastic about this exercise. Our Qin side only sent a battalion of troops, but the South Korean side actually mobilized three regiments of troops. The Northern Wei Dynasty, The attitude was a little unclear, as if only two battalions of militiamen participated. Our military officer reported that the morale of the militiamen in those two battalions was very low. Many of them were hired, and some of them didn't even have military uniforms. The weapons of the soldiers are also very worn out. Their guns can be fired even if they are very good." Meng Tian said.Meng Tian is in the Ministry of National Defense, and he is very concerned about military mobilization.

"I know all these things. We mainly put pressure on the government in the south of Wei State to stop killing their compatriots and let people from the south of Wei State enter the Northern Wei State so that they can find a suitable job. Our factory It’s enough to have enough cheap labor.” Meng Yi said.

"Oh. I understand this, but there is one thing that worries us." Meng Tian continued.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked

"It's just that South Korea is very concerned about this matter. Among the three regiments they mobilized, two established the Elite Fox 6 team. And according to our monitoring of the troop train. It seems that South Korea still has a move to increase troops According to preliminary estimates, there will be about one regiment of artillery for reinforcements." Meng Tian said worriedly.

"Elite troops. Artillery." Meng Yi asked.

"Against sharp troops, artillery." Meng Tian said.

"Our Ministry of National Defense made a bold guess⊥ that South Korea may take some military actions. These military actions may target Chu. The most likely is to target Chu." Meng Tian continued.

"Are you sure about this?" Meng Yi asked.

"It should be possible." Meng Tian said.

"South Korea has been doing very well in terms of trade recently. The goods from Qi have made them a lot of money. In addition, there are factories in Wei. Not only that, we Qin still have a lot of orders from them. In addition, Chu State, the three businesses of silk, tea and sugar in Chu State are enough for them to make money. Now South Korea is also involved in these three businesses, for example, sugar, silk leaves, but it seems that South Korea is going Shipping." Meng Tian said.

"Yeah." Meng Yi listened patiently.

"And those nobles of the Chu state have a lot of such resources in their hands, and taxation can get enough funds to protect their financial requirements. I think they are very likely to do this. They will find reasons to detain the other party's merchant ships, In this case, there will be conflicts with the goods, and the South Korean side seems to have taken actions because of such conflicts." Meng Tian said.

"They want to take advantage of this exercise to move their troops to the east of Wei State's beams, and then enter Qi State by way. As for their direction. We don't know. They are likely to go to sea. South Korea has set up a fox, And it is the Fox 6 team that is dispatched." Meng Tian said.

"We can actively attack Chu State from any direction on the sea, but we don't know that direction." Meng Tianyi said.

"Hmm." Meng Yi thought for a while.

"Recently, it seems that South Korea and Qi are getting very close. South Korea established a fox, and their fox needs an outlet to the sea. It seems that there is a honeymoon period between South Korea and Qi, and South Korea seems to have got a place to go to the sea. It seems to be." Meng Tian thought for a while and said.

"Think about it, this is very important to us." Meng Tian said to Meng Yi.

"Wait, let me think about it." Meng Yi stood up and walked to a map.

"It seems to be in Langya. Yes, Langya⊥ is this place, this place is near Jimo City. And that area happens to be controlled by the Chu army." Meng Yi said.

"The Qi people are very cunning. They gave up the land they lost and couldn't get to the Koreans. The Korean Fox has just been established." Meng Yi said.

"The fox needs an outlet to the sea. If there is no outlet to the sea, the fox is useless at all. Therefore, the Koreans and the state of Qi are actively promoting the construction of the railway project. This railway is likely to be built from here." Meng Yi said.

"In this case, South Korea has a reason to deal with Chu State, and not to fight Chu State directly, so as to avoid large-scale battles." Meng Yi thought for a while and analyzed.

"Yes ∨ Ya. It should be this place. There are Chu troops stationed here. The Chu army that attacks here can occupy Langya. At the same time, it cannot pose a threat to the mainland of Chu. If it occupies here, the fox will have a painful port. Here also There will be a large amount of supplies sent to South Korea. In this way." Meng Tian thought for a while.

"The Koreans will definitely notify us of relevant military actions." Meng Yi said.

"Well. They need diplomatic support." Meng Tian said.

"The question is, why are we doing this?" Meng Yi asked.

"I think the reason should be trade, especially trade tariffs. I noticed that the price of sugar we use in Qin State is on the high side. The price of white sugar is even more so," Meng Tian said.

203245 minutes

Both Meng Yi and Meng Tian's guesses have a certain basis. This basis is standing. After the two of them discussed a result, they gave this guess to each department as a reference.

"Well. Do you think there is such a possibility?" Shang Wen handed the telegram to Fan Zeng.Fan Zeng took the telegram and looked at it.

"According to the speculation above, I think there is a great possibility." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.

"Yeah." Shangwen nodded.

"This telegram reminds me of one thing. The tariffs in the country are too high. And the tariffs collected by the nobles are also very large." Shangwen said.

"This is very unfavorable to the current trade. At present, in the Western Regions of Qin, there are many products from Chu. However, Chu's taxes are very high. A large part of our profits are almost all handed over to the people of Chu. The nobles of Chu State are the biggest beneficiaries." Shang Wen said.

"We are very dissatisfied with this. If the Koreans can come forward and teach them a lesson, I think." Shangwen looked at the telegram.

"I think it's okay." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Should we attack the nobles of Chu State?" Fan Zeng asked.

"My hope is that the Koreans and the Chu people will fight a war, and the local war can be effectively controlled. It will not cause fatal injuries to Chu. At the same time, it will wake them up. After all, what we want is business. It is the growth of trade. We hope that Chu State can reduce their tariffs. In this way, our goods can enter, and some of their goods can also enter Qin State. This is very beneficial to everyone, otherwise, there will be a In a state of trade protectionism, everyone is unable to do business because the tariffs are too high, and everyone loses in the end. It is very likely that we will enter a state of war." Shang Wen said.

"Well. I don't know why it ended up in a state of war, but I know that those nobles will definitely not agree to such a condition. I don't think that relying solely on the power of a South Korea can change the current situation. I think it's best The best way is to do it from the inside of Chu State, otherwise, there will be no ability to disperse." Fan Zeng put forward his own opinion.

"Yeah. You're right." Shang Wen nodded.

"Just wait, as the situation develops, there will be such a day." Shang Wen said to Fan Zeng.

"Prime Minister, we don't want to give a speech today. It's not very safe outside. And the speech is too public. If there is an accident, I'm worried." Fan Zeng said worriedly.

"The more this is the case, the more we have to do it. As for the safety issue, as long as there are guards around. Or other people provide strict protection, I think it should be possible." Shang Wen said.

"It's just that the recent situation is not good." Fan Zeng said.

"Although we have adopted a blockade method. However, some rebels and horse bandits can still cross our blockade and sneak in among us. Although these people are small in number, they are very destructive." Fan Zeng said worriedly arrive.

"I think. Prime Minister, there is no need to take risks. It's not worth it." Fan Zeng said.

"Hmm. If that's the case, then we won't be able to run for re-election," Shang Wen said.

"What will all the people of Qin think of me?" Shang Wen said.

"Do they think that the tame they cast will be cast for a cowardly and courageous person?" Shang Wen asked.

"The more this is the case, the more it shouldn't be like this." Shang Wen said.

"However, this is not the time. If something happens to the candidate, the loss to Qin will be greater." Fan Zeng said to Shang Wen.
