"These nobles are taxed to death, and we have no way to survive." The businessman surnamed Wang said.

"En." The mustache businessman nodded and said.

"The colony is also expanding its army, and we have paid a lot of money to buy artillery. These artillery are used to expand the territory." The bearded businessman said.

"Here, you want to expand your army and attack the local indigenous people," the businessman surnamed Wang asked at this time.

"Yes." The bearded businessman nodded.

"You must not go." The businessman surnamed Wang said.

"Why, why?" asked the bearded businessman at this time.

"I heard that a state in the north sent troops to attack. As a result, hundreds of people were almost wiped out, and the cannons were all captured. If you go to attack, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses. You spent the money." The businessman surnamed Wang said at this time.

"Oh. So that's what happened." The bearded businessman said.

The expansion behavior of the Chu colony suffered a great loss, which was unbearable for the colony. After the loss, the colonial authorities made adjustments, and they returned to the original path, adopting the way of trade to infiltrate bit by bit The other party, if the opportunity is right, they will quickly take action and unite with the local aborigines to carry out the war among the aboriginals.This way of nibbling step by step.Although this approach is slow, the colony can obtain greater benefits.

No matter in terms of population, land or other resources, the colony is still far from being able to knock down the aboriginal people around the local colony. In the absence of a solution, this method is suitable for the expansion of the colony.

In the land of Wu and Yue, the merchant ships of Chu State.

"I beg you, please take us in. We want to get on the boat, as long as we are allowed to do anything, we will do it." A ragged man from Chu state pleaded.

"Did you escape?" At this moment, the middle-aged man beside him asked.

"This." The Chu countryman who begged was embarrassed and didn't say anything.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid I can't help you." The middle-aged man said seriously.

"I said. I said." At this time, the begging foreigner said.

"I said, I ran away from the noble manor." The man said.

"Oh, I see that you are also a hard-working person. I still lack some manpower on this boat. You can serve tea." The middle-aged man said.

As the turmoil spread, some slaves from the Chu State who escaped ran overseas. They rushed to the land of Wu and Yue in the Chu State, looking for merchant ships, and then ran to the overseas colonies of the Chu State with the help of merchant ships, looking for a piece of their own paradise there. For them, this is the best possible outcome.

"Sir, we're leaving Qi like this," a guerrilla member asked Ying Yu.

"Yes. Get out." Ying Yu said.

"Retreat to preserve strength. Retreat." Ying Yu said.The Chu army's attack was extremely sharp, and they swept very cleanly.The Qi people who barely survived were not spared.Facing such a vicious Chu army.Ying Yu had to order to retreat to avoid the opponent's sharp edge.Coupled with the lack of material reserves, it is obviously correct to avoid the opponent's edge at this time.

This group of Chu troops were composed of slaves, and the guards were extremely cruel to these slaves.Such ferocity made them spread their grievances on the people of Qi, burning, killing, looting and doing everything.

Facing such a sharp attack.Ying Yu can only retreat. If he does not retreat, it will cause a lot of passiveness.Retreat can gain considerable initiative.

In Qin State, newspapers from all walks of life are reporting on the affairs of Qi State.

"The lives of the people of Qi State are extremely difficult, but the king of Qi and relevant officials have no attitude towards the suffering of the people of Qi State. This is contempt for life and human rights. Qin State, which upholds human rights, should help Qi State restore this order. ""Daily Xianyang" reported.

"It is said that Korean merchant ships recently appeared in Qi State. The nobles of Chu State in the south are taxed to death. A large number of merchant ships can no longer pass through the Yangtze River waterway quickly. At this time, the role of Qi State is rapidly increasing. The authorities may cooperate with Qi State. Adopt higher cooperation in order to safeguard the trade interests of Qin State. Qin State has a large amount of goods to export and imports a large amount of raw materials. This is very important to Qin State.” "Economic Times" analyzed the recent public opinion of Qin State to align with the State concerned reports.

"The situation of the Qin State authorities is not optimistic. According to the start-up data of the latest quarter, enterprises in Qin State are not fully operating, and some enterprises have closed down. These data are very unfavorable to Qin State. If the southern railway in Qin State is cut off at this time, Qin State If the country’s materials and goods cannot be delivered, Qin’s enterprises will be in an even more unfavorable situation, and the authorities should quickly open up business routes, otherwise Qin’s production will be insufficient, which will be detrimental to Qin’s fiscal revenue.” The Observer reported.

The media of Qin State carefully analyzed the current situation of Qin State, and the current situation is indeed unfavorable to Qin State.The taxation of the nobles of the Chu State has greatly damaged the interests of the Qin State, but the current situation of the Chu State is not good.There are civil strife in the country, coupled with the high cost of the war, the situation in Chu State has developed out of control, and the media in Qin State did not notice this.In their view, improving the situation of Qin and Qi can greatly improve the situation of Qin.

Under such media and public opinion momentum, the people of Qin State have some understanding of Qi State, but some Qin State people think that they should adopt a military posture and adopt a peaceful approach to jade, and many people are not very optimistic.What to do next.The Qin people were not very sure either.At this time, the influence of Qin State was instead influenced by the Six Kingdoms, which is not good for Qin State.

1636 false report

"The tribal soldiers outside the border have withdrawn. What should we do next," Yang Duanhe asked Wang Jian.

"En. These tribal soldiers came very suddenly, and they went strangely." Wang Jian said.

"We may not be able to know the reason for this, but if we do nothing, then we will fall into greater passiveness." Wang Jian said while looking at the sand table.

"Next, we still need to strengthen our defenses. After all, the defense line on the northern border of Qin State is too long. There are also many weak links in the middle. The cavalry of the northern nomadic tribes are very mobile. If we don't take precautions, I'm afraid we will become more passive .” Wang Jian said.

"Well. The northern ministries have been on alert for a long time." Yang Duanhe said.

"En. The more you should be cautious at this time." Wang Jian said.

"We don't know where the nomadic cavalry went." Wang Jian said worriedly.

"General." Yang Duanhe said carefully at this time.

"What's the matter?" Wang Jian asked Yang Duanhe, who looked cautious.

"This is the general's talk." Yang Duanhe said.

"What's the matter?" Yang Duanhe pushed Wang Jian into a room.

"Have you heard?" Yang Duanhe asked.

"What?" Wang Jian asked.

"The Prime Minister's Office wants to let the businessmen expand their arms and let them fight outside the border." Yang Duanhe said.

"What kind of news is this?" Wang Jian didn't know what was going on.then asked.

"This is the news from you that I hate the most. It seems that the prime minister has already discussed such a thing. And agreed to proceed. If this continues, Qin's border defense will reduce a lot of military expenditure. The most important thing Yes, part of the military power in our hands will be reduced to the merchants. In this way, the merchants will control part of the military power." Yang Duanhe said anxiously.

"Really," Wang Jian asked.

"Really, news has come from the prime minister's mansion." Yang Duanhe said.

"En." Wang Jian nodded and began to think.

Yang Duanhe just looked at Wang Jian.

"Does the King know about this?" Wang Jian asked.

"I don't know how this matter is yet, but the king must know about it. It is extremely difficult for Qin to solve this matter. I am afraid that the situation is not good for us. Because the king does not want to see an extreme increase in military expenditure. Especially the current situation is out of control, if this continues, Qin will inevitably increase military spending." Yang Duanhe said.

"En." Wang Jian just nodded.

"If this is the case, there is nothing wrong with it." Wang Jian said.

"If the king is willing, he can do this." Wang Jian said.

"It's just that who owns the control right is the most important thing." Wang Jian said after thinking about it.On the issue of military power, Wang Jian knew very well that although their staff had the power to mobilize and plan, they actually did not have much military power.The actual control of the military power is still in the hands of the King of Qin. Meng Yi dared to make such a suggestion. It is not a question of whether he can pass here. The first pass is the first pass with the King of Qin.

The issue of control is even more critical than the issue of military power.First of all, if the merchants' armed forces are calculated carefully, they should be included in the reserve militia of the Qin State, and within the territory of the Qin State, all the reserve militia armed forces are under the mobilization and planning of the General Staff.

But from Meng Yi's point of view, the merchants' armed forces actually belong to the merchant order, because the Qin State started to trade, and in consideration of the reduction of military expenditure and the merchants' own safety, they were allowed to have a certain amount of armed force. From the perspective of the definition, the staff can control the mobilization of its armed forces.And the prime minister's mansion can also use the tax payment of merchants as the proof of their jurisdiction, so that the two important departments have a lot of overlap, and the issue of the ownership of the merchant's armed forces becomes the key to this issue.Wang Jian saw the key to the problem at once, but the key lies in the king of Qin, not in how they fight.If it is controlled by the General Staff, the flexibility of Qin's businessmen's armed forces cannot be guaranteed.After all, the merchants' armed forces are not real soldiers. If they were real soldiers, they would be very disciplined, but the merchants' armed forces are still militias in essence.
