"By the way. Western company." Han Shu said.

"Everyone in Qin State has gone to participate in the development of the trading company. If we go again, it may not be very good." Han Shu said.

"We can change to another way of thinking, such as building a railway." Han Shu suggested.

"However, in the west, the Qin people have already developed it." Zhang Liang said.

"The State of Qin is building a fast railway, and such a project may not be given to us." Zhang Liang said worriedly.

"Oh. That's it." Han Shu nodded.

"You can imagine other directions, the north, or other directions. The people of Qin should need a lot of railways. We can cooperate with them. In short, we must actively change our way of thinking." Han Shu suggested.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded.He thinks the king's idea is very good. m

"My master. Are we really going to fight?" A Hun youth with disheveled hair asked the rancher excitedly.

"Yes. You really want to fight. We have already discussed it. You will go with several other ranch companions. There are probably more than 100 of you." The rancher said while drinking.

The Hun youth licked his lips at this time.

"Huh la la." The rancher threw a bottle of wine to the Hun youth.

"What kind of weapon do you like, tell me quickly. We can prepare it for you, and you don't have much time. Register with a damn company. It took too much time. Now the newspapers have reported that too many people go to the Western Regions to make a fortune up".The rancher said dissatisfied.

"It's better to give us those weapons, knives, bows, and muskets. It's better to give us short muskets. We are not used to long ones." The Hun youth said while drinking.

"Well, these things are all ready. When are you going to leave?" the rancher asked.

"Well, we need a lot of horses, good horses. Each person should have three horses, at least three horses. We need some women to follow us to the battlefield. We Huns are like this when we go to the battlefield." The Hun youth said .

"I'm very embarrassed to do this." The rancher looked at each other in embarrassment, because the family members are the sharp weapon to control the Huns.

"Don't worry, master. We Huns do what we say, we Huns, the whole family can go to the battlefield." The Xiongnu youth said.

"Well, let them follow you, but they can only stay in the border area. I will find a way to get you the logistical supplies," the rancher said.

"When can you leave," said the rancher.

"En. Five days later, we can leave in five days." Said the Hun youth.

"Okay. That's it. We're leaving in five days," said the rancher.

"That's good. The sooner the better. When the weather turns cold, it's time for us Huns to do something." The young Huns said excitedly.Most of the Huns' attacks came in winter, because they lacked more supplies to survive the winter.Going out to rob has become their means of earning a living.As time goes by, the weather is getting cooler.But Qin State did not intend to stop fighting. On the contrary, because of the absolute abundance of supplies, it provided them with an excellent opportunity.

"As winter is approaching, there will be greater challenges in combat in the Western Regions. This will be a trouble for us when we come. Fortunately, we have sufficient supplies. We can definitely withstand consumption. On the contrary, the harassment of Parthia is gradually They seem to have withdrawn. Our defense line can be stabilized for the time being," Wei Liao said.

"En." Shangwen nodded.

"Taking advantage of this spare time, we can switch defenses. General Wang Jian is also planning to make adjustments to the Qin army as a whole after establishing a line of defense," Wei Liao said.The intermediate transition zone between the military's opinion and Shangwen is Wei Liao.Wei Liao said to Shang Wen after attending the military meeting.

"However, we must first establish a line of defense. A stable line of defense." Wei Liao said.

"The line of defense is absolutely invincible." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.Like defense of the Great Wall, this requires a lot of resources.Shangwen is very clear that if he does this, Qin will devote more resources to it, and it is still unknown whether such an effect can be achieved in the end.

"Well, but this is the opinion of the military. They want to set up a large number of artillery and machine gun bunkers near several defensive points, and then form a defensive circle. This problem can be solved." Wei Liao said.Advanced weapons can use fewer people to defend a larger area. In this way, Qin can draw troops from these defense lines for reorganization.

"En. If you do this, how many troops can you deploy?" Shangwen asked.

Even with advanced weapons that can defend more areas, the last column still needs manpower to defend, and Shangwen is worried that not many troops can be mobilized from it for defense.

"I've calculated it. There are only 3 people at most." Wei Liao said unoptimistically.

"We need more mobile troops. 3 people are obviously not enough." Shangwen said.

"Yes. Therefore, the military wants to expand several divisions. Form a new reserve division for defense. Replace the elite combat forces there. If they defend for a long time, I think it will be very disadvantageous to them." Wei Liao said.

"You also said that the army needs transformation. It's winter now. The opportunity is just right," Wei Liao said.

"En. The establishment of a new preparatory division can indeed solve the problem, but our situation is not very good." Shang Wen said.

"Let me think about it." Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.The military wants to be able to mobilize some troops back to defense before winter comes.However, these are too late.New divisions take a lot of time to form, arm, train, and then get them to use on the field.After completing these, Qin's military expenditure will increase a lot.Fiscal pressures mount sharply.

On the issue of the transfer of troops, Guanzhong is not an ideal place for transfer.Several other states are not ideal places either.In Shangwen's mind, he didn't want to draw soldiers at this time to expand his military power. In Shangwen's view, the size of about 25 soldiers was already very reasonable.

But in the eyes of the generals.25 troops are simply not enough to defend such a large area.This is the contradiction between politics and military affairs. Both sides have their own considerations and unique perspectives.

"This military issue, I think, should be shelved. This year, next year's military spending cannot be too much for the military. Their weapons and equipment have been replaced too much. If they are replaced too much, our financial pressure will be too great .” Shang Wen said to Wei Liao.This is what Shang Wen is most worried about.

"But, this is a military issue." Wei Liao said.

"Yes, I know, this is a strategic security issue of homeland defense." Shangwen said.

"However, maintaining huge military expenditures is not what we want. Such words will not do any good to the economy." Shangwen said.

"Maybe we can use other methods to solve it." Shangwen said.

"For example, we can use the method of hiring Zhao people to defend these areas." Shang Wen said.

"This kind of cost may be the least, and it is also the most beneficial to us." Shang Wen said.

"Hire. Use the way of hiring to defend. No, no, no." When Wei Liao heard Shang Wen's solution, he felt very conflicted in his heart, because the defensive line of hiring was very unstable.First of all, do those Zhao people really know how to defend, or can they really defend the gate of Qin?Wei Liao thinks that Shangwen's idea is too much.

"Such an idea is absolutely unacceptable. Hiring, defense Jedi cannot be hired. We would rather put tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line than use mercenaries for defense. This is a blow to us too much." Wei Liao said.

"It's enough for us to put it in any position. Such a thing can't be done. It can't be done." Wei Liao said this question seriously.

"Okay. I respect your opinion, but if this is the case, our soldiers will have to stay in their defensive positions when it comes to celebrating the Chinese New Year this year, because we really can't find anyone who can replace them." Shang Wen said arrive.

"Dong dong." At this time, Meng Yi knocked on the door.

"Did I bother you?" Meng Yi asked.

"No. No." Shang Wen replied.

"Well, you'd better take a look at this. South Korea sent a telegram. They hope that we can help them with some things. Let's solve the railway construction in Wei and Qi. They want to make some achievements in this regard. .” Meng Yi handed Shang Wen a telegram.

"Someone wants to invest in railways so soon." Shang Wen said while looking at the telegram.

"Yes. It is certain that there will be a great demand for railways in the future, because trade can bring huge taxes and wealth." Meng Yi said.

"That's true." Shang Wen said.

"The problems of Wei and Qi. I think we should add the problems of Chu." Shang Wen said.

"Trade in various regions requires a lot of railway construction. But no nobles have actually benefited from this. And they don't have money. This is a big problem. I can't solve it." Shang Wen said.
