A military telegram.One is an emergency military report from the northern Xinjiang garrison.Meng Yi quickly checked the contents of the two telegrams.

The content of the military telegram was that the Huns in the north actually robbed the Qin caravan.Although the loss is not large, this incident is enough to affect the stability of Qin's trade policy.Although the content of the emergency military situation of the northern Xinjiang garrison is different, the things are the same.Some caravans of the Qin State were also robbed by bandits from the Western Regions. The Qin State caravans suffered certain casualties, but the bandits suffered even greater casualties.These two things are obviously things of the same nature.

"Meng Tian. What do you think?" Qin Wang looked at Meng Tian and asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe that these two matters are of the same nature. Once the trade route is established, such a matter is inevitable. However, this telegram from the military clearly has intentions," Meng Tian pointed out.Because of this kind of telegram, the staff department and the commanders of various military regions have sent such telegrams. Although this is a new thing, if it is intentionally expanded, it will easily arouse the aggressiveness of the people in Qin.Once such aggressive emotions are triggered, it is bound to affect Qin's overall decision-making.For this kind of struggle, Meng Tian only knew about such a thing after listening to Meng Yi's explanation. He had sent such a telegram before, but Meng Tian believed that these intelligence references were based on the comprehensive judgment of the enemy's situation, but he did not expect that in Xianyang, Qin, A telegram should have such an intention.

The dispute over military spending has become a sensitive topic for the Qin State official group and generals group, and cutting military spending will inevitably arouse strong dissatisfaction from the military.As the King of Qin, he was very happy with such a struggle between officials and generals.Only such competition can avoid a dominance situation.

"Well, the military has plans. They plan to increase military spending in the name of launching a war." King Qin immediately pointed out the military's purpose.

Meng Tian didn't say anything.After all, Meng Tian is also a general, as a member of the group.King Qin's intention of saying such words made Meng Tian dare not say anything more.

"These are the results of Qin's internal affairs." King Qin said lightly.

"If it were you, how would you solve this matter?" King Qin asked meaningfully.

"En. This matter, I believe that Qin's caravan is enough to deal with it. As long as the Qin army's deterrent force is still there, only relying on the strength of Qin's mercenaries is enough to deal with it." Meng Tian said.

"En." King Qin just nodded slightly.

"Let's say one day. Qin's trade will be very fruitful. So what will happen to these neighboring countries?" King Qin obviously had a longer-term thinking than Meng Tian.Hearing this, Meng Yi suddenly understood what King Qin meant.

"It is bound to be plundered by heavy troops." Meng Tian deduced.

"Yes. These things were considered when these policies were first formulated. However, the policies did not formulate specific measures. At present, there is no need for Qin to increase military expenditures. But if this matter cannot be dealt with in time, it will become a serious disaster." King Qin said worriedly.Hearing this, Meng Tian also felt that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

And in Meng Yi's office.Meng Yi is also worried about this matter.

"You said, how to solve the security problem of this trade?" Meng Yi asked the security consultant who was summoned urgently.

Meng Yi has received telegrams from all over the world.In the past, although there were such telegrams, they would not specifically target the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now it is different.As soon as Qin's trade opened up, such things naturally increased.This development will not only affect Qin's trade.At the same time, it will also affect Qin's deterrence in neighboring countries.

"When we were discussing before, we estimated the strength of the military, but now we are a little passive. Because if the military is estimated, it will lead to an increase in military expenditure. If we do not increase expenditure, it is obviously impossible to accomplish this. deterrent," the security adviser said.

"Well. What I'm thinking about is whether we can find a balance here. This balance is very important to us. We must ensure that our trade continues, and at the same time ensure that our security is not violated. .” Meng Yi said.

"Well. We plan to use a variety of methods to win over each other diplomatically, and suppress each other militarily. Trade and cooperation," the security consultant put forward one of his views.

"This is indeed very good. However, it is very difficult to implement it." Meng Yi said after thinking about it.

"First of all, if we do this, we need to strengthen the military power of the border states. There is also the political power of the border states. And it is very difficult to operate. This involves diplomacy, military, and politics. There are also businessmen It’s too complicated.” Meng Yi said.

"Well. Then, there is no solution for the time being. However, I think we should understand the situation in the north at present, and then take some measures to solve it." The security consultant said.

"Well. Speaking of which, I think we should do some integration, but how to do it. We have no idea at all." Meng Yi said.

"How about this, we send an observation team to thoroughly investigate the local situation, and then make adjustments based on the comprehensive situation." Meng Yi said.

"Well, that's fine," said the security consultant.

"However, I think that this method should be handed over to the local states. After all, the local states are close to the front line and know what to do. They only need to submit the plan and we can review it." The security consultant proposed in such a simple way.

"En. Yes. But the observation team still has to be sent." Meng Yi insisted on his own opinion. He believed that the actual situation should be seen.

1575 Fort's Achilles' heel

"Shocking news, shocking news" A businessman from Qi State in Xinzheng, South Korea anxiously ran into Tian Dan's temporary residence in South Korea with a newspaper.

"My lord. It's not good." The businessman shouted anxiously while running, holding a newspaper in his hand that was shaking constantly.

"What's the matter?" Hearing someone making a loud noise, Tian Dan and others rushed out. They were discussing the issue of raising military expenses. The situation in Qi State was getting worse and worse. Tian Dan and others mobilized businessmen in Qi State to donate money and materials for the country. .In order to allow Qi to tide over the difficulties.

"Old Tian." Tian Dan shouted loudly when he saw the businessman rushing in.

This old Tian is a businessman from Qi State who responded to the call in South Korea. These Qi State businessmen are doing salt and iron business in South Korea.In South Korea, after he heard the call from Tian Dan and others, he responded positively, and immediately donated more than 1 gold and other materials of more than 1 gold. Other businessmen from Qi also responded positively. These Qi merchants, the Qi army on the eastern front, and the Qi army are also difficult to maintain.

"My lord, take a look at this." At this time, the businessman named Tian Lao said excitedly while holding a newspaper.

"What?" Tian Dan picked up the newspaper at this time and read enough.

"Puppet Qi King".This is a newspaper published in Korea.The headlines in the newspaper said so.After seeing such a title.Immediately it looks.Tian Dan glanced at the past quickly.After reading it, he frowned.

"My lord." A counselor at the side looked at Tian Dan at this moment.And Tian Dan frowned thinking about something.

"Sir. Take a look." Tian Dan left here seriously and somewhat lost.The counselor and the people around him quickly stepped forward to read the newspaper.I don't know if it was a reporter from South Korea or a reporter from Qin State, who reported the possibility of King Qi becoming Chu State in the newspaper, but this report is only a report on the possibility of speculating from peripheral news.

In the report, the order received by the Eastern Front.As well as a series of actions of the Chu army and Qi army near Linzi in the state of Qi, as well as some series of actions of the king of Qi and Hou Sheng, a comprehensive judgment was made. Such judgments are both logical.in particular.If the two armies did not reach some kind of extremely compromised covenant.Such a big move is impossible.And these actions are not in the interests of Qi.It was precisely this inference that Tian Dan became more serious.

"These reports don't seem to be fake." The counselor said after reading it.

Others felt that the analysis was correct after reading it.Because Tian Dan received such a telegram earlier, the telegram came from Tian An, the supreme commander on the eastern front of Qi State, Tian An told Tian Heng of the order he received, and Tian Heng forwarded the telegram.When receiving these telegrams, Tian Dan and others didn't think there was a big problem, but when the news reported by this newspaper came out.Tian Dan and the others had no choice but to believe it.Or they have already begun to doubt King Qi's actions in their hearts.All the people present did not speak after reading the newspaper, they looked at Tian Dan at this moment.

"Here. What should we do?" Mr. Tian, ​​a businessman, looked at the crowd excitedly.

"What should I do?" Tian Lao said excitedly.The reason why the merchants of the Qi State helped Tian Dan and others was that they took a fancy to the power held by the Tian brothers and others, and they hoped that helping the Tian brothers and others would benefit them, the Qi State merchants.

Tian Dan didn't speak, just sat quietly outside the house.

"Let my lord think about it." The counselor on the side looked at Tian Dan and said.

After Han Shu saw such a newspaper, she just asked people to find out if the news was true.Then there is no action.

When Meng Yi received this news in Xianyang, Qin State, he was just a little surprised. He vaguely felt that something big was about to happen in Qi State.After realizing this, he didn't take specific actions. On the contrary, Meng Yi appeared more stable.

On the Yangtze River in the south of Chu State.On the unexpected river surface of the noble fort, and too many merchant ships gathered.Because there are more than 300 artillery forts on both sides of the Yangtze River.These forts formed two intersecting firepower nets.Such a dense firepower network can quickly block the river, and any merchant ships passing the Yangtze River will be intercepted, and even some warships have to carefully consider whether to pass.

The power of the fort is revealed, and after the power of the fort is revealed.The local nobles can be said to be a lion.The tax levied is as high as 60.00%. If the extortion by those small officials is added, then the merchants and captains of Chu State will not have to go to sea.Because once you go out to sea and come back, it will be nothing.

"These fucking nobles." The merchants, captains, crews, and gunners who gathered together moored could only drink away their sorrows.Because they can't pass at all, and if they pass, they will be skinned.The meat was eaten by the nobles and the blood was sucked dry.Such a price keeps these people stagnant.

"Continuing like this is not an option." A young Chu businessman said worriedly.

"Yeah, if this goes on, we don't have to go to sea. Let's just starve to death." A one-eyed middle-aged captain complained.

"We can't go on like this, these nobles are going to put us to death." The young businessman said fiercely.

"If we can't make it through, we will kill them, take down those forts, and tear down those damned forts." The young businessman said with determination.

"Hey, you are still young. How can such a fort be taken down? There are more than 300 cannons on both sides of the strait, and a warship only has 25 cannons on one side. If you want to suppress the opponent, you need at least six such warships , and on both sides of the strait, there are more than a full twelve warships. Where can we get so many warships?" said the one-eyed middle-aged captain.

"This." The young businessman didn't speak at this time.

"We can sneak attack these noble masters of Chu from the land." The young businessman said at this time.
