"These Huns." The cavalry captain said disdainfully.
"Sir. They are not Huns. They say they are Huns, and we don't know who they are," the second lieutenant explained at this time.
"Oh. I see." The cavalry captain nodded.
"What do you want us to do?" asked the cavalry captain.
"I don't know, sir. The higher-ups just told us to wait for reinforcements. The specific actions were not announced, but they just told us to stand by and wait for reinforcements. Just stick to these defense zones." The second lieutenant said.
"Oh." The cavalry captain lost interest at this time because he was in the northern military region.The cavalry is used as a mobile force, which means that it is used to launch an attack or counter-charge, while the infantry only means to stick.When the cavalry captain heard that the higher-ups had no intention of launching an attack, he immediately lost interest. Obviously, it was not the time for them to show their talents.Originally, he came here to launch an offensive, but he didn't expect that he was sticking to the ♀, which made the cavalry captain feel very boring.
1608 Order from the Imperial Palace
"We have mobilized two infantry regiments to strengthen the defense. Le Wen Novel-com. Currently there are only a very small number of troops in this defensive area." Wang Jian introduced to Meng Yi on the sand table.
"So, we can only passively adopt a defensive posture at present, and cannot take the initiative to attack. Of course. Partial counterattacks can also be made." Wang Jian introduced the specific situation in the northern defense zone to give Meng Yi a general idea know.
"En." Meng Yi nodded.
"I don't know. What is the prime minister's solution? There are more than 1 people on the other side. According to preliminary estimates, at least [-] to [-] people can form an army. They will quickly cross our defense line. Although our defense line has barbed wire, Landmines, machine guns, and various defensive trenches. But these are not enough to withstand a charge of the size of a cavalry regiment. After all, the defensive force is only a little more than one company. The strength of the troops is too great, and the opponent is cavalry. You can We tore a hole in our long defense line and rushed in," Wang Jian said.
"This." Meng Yi swayed, apparently facing such a situation, he had nothing to do.The long border defense line of the Qin State is stretched out, which is a big problem. Coupled with the reduction in military expenditure, this makes the northern defense line of the Qin State only able to exploit momentum, not offensive.
"According to the intelligence, there must be a struggle between the two sides. The Huns have always had the intention of revenge. If such a large tribe joins us, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Huns. They will gather directly on our border defense line. In this way, our The border defense line is a great threat," Wang Jian said.
"That one, how did the chief of staff solve this matter," Meng Yi said after thinking for a while.
"We have put the northern defense line into emergency combat readiness. All militias will automatically be on alert," Wang Jian said.
"Once they break through, they will directly attack these towns. At that time, they can only rely on these militias to do these things." Wang Jian is reminding the Qin army that the current military expenditure situation cannot achieve a comprehensive defense situation. Such things will definitely happen. .
"En." Meng Yi just nodded.He was very clear that what Jian Jian said was actually asking the Prime Minister's Office of Qin to increase military expenditures, but there was no way, the domestic economic situation was very bad.Even with economic bright spots.But helplessly, the demand is not strong, and there is no way to do this.If taxes cannot be increased, military expenditures cannot be increased either.Against such a background, military spending can only be reduced accordingly.Growth is simply impossible.
"En. So, I think these tribes have come to join us, let them come." Meng Yi said.
"What is the prime minister's solution?" Wang Jian asked.
"What I mean is, the current situation is urgent, first let the old and weak of these tribes enter our country of Qin" and then let those tribal soldiers become our volunteers: they are fighting outside to resist this attack. In other words, let our people Act with them, of course, you can come by yourself. We can provide them with some firepower assistance. As long as they repel the attack of the Huns, we will let them enter our country of Qin. As for how to arrange it, I think we will discuss further .” Meng Yi put forward such a view.
Wei Liao on the side nodded.He agrees with this view ♀ This view is very good.He knew that the Qin army could actually mobilize very few troops. If they wanted to fight a big fight, it would obviously be inappropriate ♀ Wei Liao knew very well.How nervous are the soldiers of Qin State?The mobile force is only two or three regiments.Since there is no military strength, we can only use the strength of others to improve Qin's defense strength.It is the military power of these tribes outside.
"Currently, this method is the only feasible method," Wei Liao said.
"In this way, when these barbaric tribes will not pose a threat to our Qin State, use these soldiers to deal with the Huns. Come and use barbarians to control barbarians." Wei Liao said.
"Besides, the current situation is very urgent. It is best to carry out this matter as soon as possible." Wei Liao said.
"En. What Guo Wei said is true." Meng Yi nodded.
"Alright then, since both of you agree, then the Guowei Mansion will issue an order." Wei Liao said.The staff is to make plans.The Prime Minister's Office is providing funds.Issuing orders formed a situation of linkage and cooperation among the people in Guowei's Mansion↓.However, the three departments sometimes have some contradictions, even internal competition.However, the three departments finally reached a preliminary agreement.
The southern region of Qi.
"Bang. Bang." The Chu army's reinforcements were opening up the logistics supply line leading to the front line‖, and they swept away the fleeing Qi guerrillas all the way.
"Catch him. Hurry up, catch them." Several Chu soldiers with cold weapons shouted loudly.Behind them were a few soldiers of the Chu army with muskets who calmly fired and then loaded the bullets.
"Huh." The panting Qi guerrillas had been chased to pieces.They scattered and fled.Once discovered, they have only one dead end.In order to catch some Qi guerrillas.The Chu army dispersed their forces and seized them everywhere.Of course they catch less.Killed a lot.
"Catch him, don't let him run away." Those soldiers of the Chu army chased each other frantically.But the Qi guerrillas fled desperately.
"Bang bang bang." Just as the Chu army soldiers were about to catch up, there was a burst of gunfire.The bullets that flew from the sky arrived in front of them.
"Ah. Puff puff." The sound of being shot was accompanied by a scream.Many Chu soldiers were knocked to the ground.
"Bang. Bang. Bang." Gunshots rang out continuously, and bullets flew towards the Chu army without stopping.
"It's not good to ambush, retreat quickly." A few Chu soldiers with muskets shouted loudly, and they turned around and ran away.Those Qi people who were hunted down were finally saved.
"Quickly retreat." The soldiers of the Chu army retreated immediately when they saw that something was wrong.
"Hoo hoo hoo." Those Qi guerrillas who escaped all sat down.Gasping for breath, profuse sweat continued to flow out and wet their clothes.
"Get up. It's still easy to walk with us. Hurry up." A Qi guerrilla member shouted loudly with a gun.
"This." A fleeing man wanted to say something.But he was immediately set up by the other party, and then carried away ℃ against the reinforcements from the Chu State that were rushing towards the tide.It is no longer possible for the Qi guerrillas, who have lost a large number of soldiers, to effectively suppress the opponent. If they did not take the initiative to attack at the beginning, but actively defended, I am afraid that such a situation would not happen.Why is this happening.It is all caused by not having a clear understanding of oneself.
1609 The way of economy
"I didn't expect it." Tian Heng said these words when he saw Shang Wen for the first time.
Shangwen just smiled.
"We met once." Saying that, Shang Wen stretched out his hand.On the other hand, Mo Li looked at Shangwen.
"Oh." Tian Heng had stayed in Qin State before, and knew Qin State's handshake ceremony.So a little flustered came forward to shake hands.Because Tian Heng is not used to such etiquette.
"This time, I came to you to talk about taxation. Taxation is a big deal." Shang Wen said solemnly.
"The Prime Minister is bothering you." Tian Heng felt a little dissatisfied with Shang Wen's statement, because it was obviously to interfere with Qi's internal affairs.
"But before that, I want General Tian to take a look at this." Shang Wen said and made a gesture of invitation.Tian Heng didn't understand yet, but followed Shangwen to the simple pier.It's very busy here.Many people were walking up and down the pier, and there were some merchant ships waiting to unload their cargo.
"This is a Korean merchant ship," Tian Heng saw the flag with the word "Korean" in the same way.Then you can see what's going on when you see the goods piled up on the docks.He immediately asked Shang Wen.
"Indeed." Shangwen nodded.
"I don't know what the prime minister means," Tian Heng looked at so many merchant ships and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"What I mean is very simple. It is to collect less tax. And lower the tax to an unprecedented low point. Put higher taxes on these merchant ships," Shang Wen said.
"These merchant ships," Tian Heng looked strangely.
"Yes. General Tian knows why these merchant ships are staying here," Shangwen asked.
"This. I don't know." Tian Heng calmed down at this moment, and gradually became curious.
"These merchant ships all come from the golden waterway of the Yangtze River in the south of Chu State." Shang Wen said.
"Oh." Tian Heng was somewhat disapproving when he found out.
"It seems that General Tian hasn't attracted attention yet." Shangwen saw Tian Heng's disapproving attitude.Feel very annoyed.
"You can tell why by talking to those captains," Shang Wen said.
"Since General Tian doesn't think so, I'll tell you." Shang Wen said seriously.
"I met General Tian once in Qin State. I think General Tian can accomplish great things. He is a person of one side. There is a relationship between you and me. That's why I said that. If it's someone else, I don't care about it." Shang Wen said angrily .It was the first time for Mo Li on the side to see Shang Wen so angry.And Tian Heng on the side showed a look of panic at this time.
