"A group of cavalry came from a distance. It seems to be the cavalry of the Huns." The soldier reported what he saw.

"Let me see." The second lieutenant checked the situation with a binoculars.He saw a cavalry group of about 30 people approaching the tribe quickly.The second lieutenant felt that the tribe seemed a little frightened.Because some old and weak people took the initiative to avoid them.And the cavalry team of more than 30 people was approaching quickly, they didn't show any fear at all, but felt that they were very proud.

"It should be the Huns, that's right. The Huns are all like this. They look rebellious." The second lieutenant said holding a telescope.

"Shall we understand the situation," the soldier on the side asked the second lieutenant.

"Understood. How do you understand it?" asked the second lieutenant.

"There are tens of thousands of people on the opposite side, and no order has been issued from above. The reinforcements are not enough. Anyway, we have to wait quietly now." The second lieutenant looked at what happened in the opposite tribe.

"Now is not the time to talk about that," said the second lieutenant.

"I'll go down and talk about the situation. I'm afraid it will cause huge changes, and we have to deal with it carefully." The second lieutenant went down after speaking.

Inside the frontline headquarters.

"I think these more than 30 people are suspicious. They must be Huns because they are very proud. All Huns have such a temper." The second lieutenant said.

"If it's the Huns. What are they doing here," asked the infantry platoon leader coming up with reinforcements.

"The situation is not good for us." The cavalry captain just keenly felt that the situation was not good for them.As for why it's unfavorable.he does not know.But a self-consciousness told him so.

"I think. Is it like this?" The second lieutenant on the side had already thought about this question for a long time.

"I think, is this the case? These Huns must be the vanguard cavalry of some large tribes of the Huns, or messengers. They heard that the tribe is leaving them. They will definitely come to appease, or investigate the situation. , anyway, the situation is not good for them, and it is not good for us. We should be prepared." The second lieutenant expressed his opinion.

"This." The infantry lieutenant looked at the cavalry captain, meaning that the highest military rank here is a captain, and I should ask the captain for instructions.

"Well. The situation is indeed against us," said the captain.

"What do you plan to do," asked the cavalry captain.

"I'm a cavalry soldier, so I can use it for offense. But if I use it for defense, my people won't be very adaptable." The cavalry captain asked.

"My method is to strengthen the defense. The cavalry is deployed in the rear of the position as a mobile defense force, and the infantry is to strengthen the defense. In particular, the configuration of machine guns should be flexible. Don't let those tribes come over if they attack. Or After crossing our line of defense, we'd better shrink our troops to form a defensive fortress, use the cavalry troops to expel or disperse the tribal cavalry who pass through, so as to reduce the impact on our interior." The second lieutenant expressed his opinion .

Only by shrinking the troops can the defense be strengthened. After making such a plan, they immediately reported the situation and the guessed situation to their superiors, hoping that the superiors would let the reinforcements arrive here as soon as possible.

Xianyang, Qin State.Zhang Liang came to Qin again as a South Korean special envoy.In Meng Yi's office.The two sat opposite each other.

"I don't know, is Prime Minister Zhang coming this time for the bank loan?" Meng Yi asked.

"En. Yes, this is just one of the things." Zhang Liang nodded and said.

"There is another important thing." Zhang Liang said.

"Oh." Meng Yi was surprised.

"I don't know what's going on," Meng Yi asked.

"Our merchant ships went to the coast of Qi to unload their cargo," Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi didn't know why Zhang Liang said such words, but he knew that he needed to listen patiently now.

"The taxation behavior of the nobles of the Chu State has caused their entire Yangtze River waterway to come to a standstill. A large number of merchant ships are now docking in the Wuyue area. These merchant ships have piled up their goods as high as a mountain. There are many kinds of products. Countless. The price has fallen again and again. The interests of merchants have been lost a lot. Our merchant ships cannot continue to be lost like this, so we plan to ship these things to the north for sale, hoping to find a suitable market." Zhang Liang said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded, and he began to think about this matter. He knew the significance of merchant ships, which was no less than carriages and cars.The development of the Yangtze River waterway in the south can make Chu country rise rapidly and become rich, and it is almost also developed by this waterway.It is not the Jianghuai area of ​​Chu State that is rich, but the banks of the Yangtze River, because the passing merchant ships can bring a lot of trade taxes.With these taxes, enough money can be quickly gathered.

But now the aristocrats of Chu State have blocked their own way of making money.It has to be said that the nobles of Chu State made a foolish move on this matter.Put yourself in a passive situation.If you consider it from a large strategic level, these merchant ships head north, and it is very likely that they will develop commerce in the northern coastal areas.As a result, fiscal and taxation will be biased northward.Since it is heading north.Then it may have a great impact on the north.The most influential countries are Yan and Qi.And Chu State, which has lost an important source of income, may fall into a passive situation.

"What does the prime minister mean?" Meng Yi asked immediately after he figured this out.

"What I mean is that at present, Qin State also needs to import some ore, wood, and some other raw materials from the south. Now that the southern trade route is blocked, should we shift our attention to the north? For example, Qi State, and Yan State Our merchant ships can berth directly in the northern coastal area. Moreover, the current situation in Qi State is very delicate. I think Qin State should participate here." Zhang Liang expressed his views truthfully.

"You know, Qin State needs to import a large number of slaves. There are also minerals. But these things are shipped in a large volume. Qin State cannot afford to delay." Zhang Liang said.

"I understand this. It's just that there are some problems." Meng Yi said.

"The reason why Qin State wanted to develop the south is to develop the south. Now, Qin State has laid a southern railway, and the railway leading to Bashu is also under construction. If it is stopped at this time, it may be detrimental to Qin State." Meng Yi said .What Meng Yi said was indeed true.Because of this railway, Qin State's finances have exhausted millions of gold, but the railway is still not completed, and the construction of a Qinling Mountain and the railway and road have exceeded their expectations.

However, Qin State is bound to develop Bashu, and firmly control the land of Bashu, because it is of great significance to develop Bashu and control Bashu, which is the strategic reserve force of Qin State.This was set beforehand.Because of this, the finances have already cost millions of gold.If there is no result and major projects are stopped at this time, Qin will waste its national power.

But the problem is that the current situation is indeed unfavorable to Bashu. Bashu relies on waterways, and now Chu State controls the access of waterways, which is extremely unfavorable to Qin State. In fact, there are still many unfavorable conditions. There are no major constraints.

"Prime Minister, I understand this, but now that the Yangtze River is impassable, and Qin's demand is strong, if no other arrangements are made, it may be detrimental to Qin. My idea is that it is easier to concentrate part of Qin's financial and material resources. The Central Plains where the railway was laid. In this way, the railway can connect Qi and Yan, two important shipping routes to the outside world. Qin can enjoy its benefits. The benefits to Qin are obvious," Zhang Liang said.

"It's just that the railway in the south is about to stop. If it stops, it will be very unfavorable to Qin." Meng Yi said.In fact, the railways in the south, especially the Bashu line.It was developed and constructed by the Qin government itself. Because of this railway, Qin's finances fell into a passive situation.This railway has become a tasteless project of the government. Go on, it still needs a lot of money, which requires the government to continue to invest, but the results will not appear soon.But give up, Qin Guo is not reconciled, which means that everything he has done before will be in vain.This is very detrimental to the Qin State, it is not good to take it, and it is not good not to take it.And the Central Plains Railway in the east.It is not difficult to lay, and it is easy to complete.The benefits are obvious.It is very beneficial to Qin, but the government cannot start construction.Because the finances do not support such a large project.Qin Guo has no money, really no money to do this.

"There is a bigger problem in the construction of this railway. There are many countries passing through. How to do this," Meng Yi asked a question.

"This needs to be done jointly by the two countries. Moreover, the eastern sea transportation has not yet started. Our ships just have such a plan. Once opened, I think the situation will be much better." Zhang Liang put forward his own opinion .

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"The prime minister really brought a big news, which is too big for our Qin country." Meng Yi said.

"We don't even know how to solve it. I can tell you the truth, the financial situation of our state of Qin is also unfavorable. If we do this, our finances will fall into an unprecedentedly bad situation. I don't know if the state of Qin can sustain it. "Meng Yi smiled wryly.The current situation in Qin State is not optimistic.Especially financially.

1612 Too much involved

Afterwards, Meng Yi asked Zhang Liang to return to the South Korean embassy in the name of taking a break, while he thought about it carefully, and Meng Yi decided to think about it first.But this matter is very difficult.

If Qin State wants to control this railway, it will be difficult to do it with the current financial resources, but if it abandons the southern railway, especially the Bashu Railway, it will be a difficult wound for Qin State.After Meng Yi couldn't figure it out, he decided to discuss this matter at a cabinet meeting.

"The shipping route began to shift from the Yangtze River waterway in the south to the north. The impact is too great." The Minister of Economic Affairs suddenly realized what he said immediately.

"But there is no railway in the north, and the volume of sea transportation is particularly large. In this way, Qin State will inevitably build a railway directly to Qi State." The Minister of Transport said.

"The transportation volume of ox carts in Qi State, coupled with the extreme bad condition of those roads. If the roads are not good, it will definitely affect the transportation volume." The Minister of Transport said.

"Well. If the shipping is put into Qi State, the situation of Qi State will be different. We should assist Qi State. Moreover, we must occupy the strategic initiative in Qi State." A security consultant put forward his own opinion.

"En." Meng Yi nodded.

"Everyone can talk about it. This railway, from an economic point of view or from other points of view, is bound to be repaired." Meng Yi said.All the ministers nodded.They all agree with this view.

It is obvious that if the sea transportation route suddenly runs from the south to the north, the transportation volume in the north will increase suddenly. In order to increase the transportation volume, Qin must improve the roads and various means of transportation, which is obvious.

"Well, there is still some time. Now is not the time to worry." Meng Yi said.

"Currently, we have no factual basis to prove that this thing will definitely happen, and the foreseeable future has not been seen clearly." Meng Yi said calmly.

"But now, we have to make a very suitable plan." Meng Yi said.

"At present, everyone knows that Qin's financial situation is very bad." Meng Yi said.
