"The colonies are mainly owned by the Chu people. The Chu people established a series of colonies along the coastline. These colonies were only established on the coastline and did not develop inland. The original purpose of these colonies was said to be to avoid There are high taxes in Chu State, but now, the colony has become a bridgehead for Chu State to develop inland. Merchants in Chu State are actively using the colony as a trading post, and they are carrying out various trades. Slave trade, and with indigenous The trade of Yue people and so on.” Zhang Liang truthfully explained the situation of Chu’s overseas colonies.These colonies, in the long run, pose a great threat to Korea's trade.The trading station established by Chu State can go deep into the inland for development. Moreover, there are many commodities in the colonies of Chu State that conflict with Korean trade. Although South Korea tried its best to avoid it, the commonality of trade between the two countries is unavoidable.The most important point is that the emerging handicraft workshops in Chu State can completely replace South Korea's own products.Korean goods were inaccessible in some colonies.The colonial market is not open to South Korea.If South Korea needs to open up the other side's market, it is bound to allow the other side to open up the market itself.
"It seems that the situation overseas is more complicated than we imagined." Meng Yi did not announce any specific situation.Because in some cases they don't know.For example, in the development of overseas colonies, they don't know how many colonies Chu and South Korea have established, and how much profit these colonies can bring to these countries.Qin Guo believes that it is not too late to investigate the other party's situation in advance before making a decision.
Outside the city of Linzi in the state of Qi.
"I don't know, who is your lord?" A Chu general with a mustache raised his head and said at this time.The generals of the Chu army looked extremely proud.This is of course, because they have received a letter from the state of Qi.
"To be honest, I am the Prime Minister of Qi State. Hou Sheng." Hou Sheng said respectfully.
"Ah. Oh." The general looked at the other party in surprise.He didn't expect such a big official to appear on the other side.If your own side kidnaps the other party.This country of Qi is really over.
"Please also take care of me, King Qi, the general. These are just some small thanks." As he spoke, Hou Sheng motioned for an attendant to deliver a package.
"This." The general immediately greeted him with a smile.Then personally, the general felt very heavy. It seems that the Qi State did not give less benefits.
"Of course, of course." The Chu army general said with a smile.
"It's just that I don't know how your army will solve this matter?" Hou Sheng asked worriedly.
"This matter has been reported to my king for a decision. In a few days, there will be a result." The Chu army general said with a smile.
"This." Hou Sheng shook his head.
"This time can't be delayed for too long." Hou Sheng said annoyed.The general of the Chu army only looked at his parcel, he wanted to know how much gold and silver was in the parcel.
But Hou Sheng was extremely troubled.The source of power in the hands of Hou Sheng was controlled by the Chu army.This is very unfavorable to him.If King Qi loses, his power will be emptied.So the most important thing for him now is to get King Qi back.Otherwise, the problem will be big.
Because Linzi was surrounded by the Chu army, the situation here was temporarily blocked.The news has not yet spread.This is still more beneficial to the later victory.
"Drive. Drive." A Chu army cavalry quickly marched towards the north.He is a messenger.He wanted to quickly reach the city of Linzi in Qi State.Tell the Chu army who besieged Linzi the result of the consultation of the nobles of Chu, and let them proceed according to what the letter said.
The idea of the Chu nobles was that since King Qi had already been captured, there was no need to continue the war.They planned to use King Qi to blackmail a sum of money severely, and let them make up for the loss, so they gave up.
However, some nobles believed that with King Qi in hand, they should ask for more land.However, everyone's opinion is the same, that is, their losses must be paid by the Qi people.
"Da da da." The sound of horseshoes approached from far to near.
"Damn it. A Chu army is so rampant." A guerrilla standing guard scolded.
"It's not easy. This horse is hard to beat." Another older guerrilla who was on guard said.
Because of the sentinel relationship, both of them have muskets.
"I'm going to try it. No way. Just add a shot to the side." As he said, the guerrilla quickly stood up with his weapon and ran to the middle of the road, then raised his musket and waited for the horses to arrive .
"Hey. This kid." The old guerrilla opened the fire door helplessly to take aim.Can you stop the opponent.He himself has no bottom.After all, this musket is difficult to master.Within thirty paces, his bullet was considered good enough to hit the target.
"Spread out. Heavenly Qi people." I saw a person from Qi squatting on the ground.The Chu soldiers shouted loudly.However, as he got closer, he felt something was wrong.Because he saw the man from Qi was aiming at him with a musket.
"Ah." The soldiers of the Chu army suddenly cried out in panic.
"Bang." There was a crisp gunshot.Thick gunpowder smoke sprayed out.
"Hoo hoo." The horse barked sharply.
"Bang." Then came another gunshot.Another bullet came from a side position.
"Forgive me. Forgive me." The soldiers of the Chu army lay on the ground and raised their arms and shouted loudly.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'm just a messenger. A messenger." The Chu soldier shouted loudly.
"Damn it. If you scream again, I'll kill you." The Qi guerrilla soldier shouted loudly, holding a musket with a bayonet attached.
"Yes. Yes. I won't bark. I won't bark. But don't kill me." The soldiers of the Chu Army looked at each other in horror.His horse is dead.
"Damn it." The guerrillas cursed loudly.The old guerrilla stepped forward.
"Look, what's on it?" The guerrillas shouted loudly.
"Okay." The old guerrillas stepped forward and began to search.
"Just some food and some drink." The old guerrilla opened his bag.
"Damn it. It's water, not wine. Bah. Bah." The guerrillas cursed.
"What are you eating? It's unpalatable." The guerrillas scolded.
"I don't even have anything of value on me." The guerrillas began to search.When members of the Qi guerrillas were on guard, they actually intercepted the soldiers of the Chu army who were alone. They often got something they wanted from the soldiers of the Chu army.
"This, what is it?" The old guerrilla saw the rucksack on Chu Jun's body and immediately grabbed it.
"This. No way. This is, this is." The Chu soldier shouted loudly.
"A broken letter." The old guerrilla said, looking at the bamboo slips.Although paper has been popularized to a certain extent, bamboo slips are still used in Chu State.
"Huh." At this time.The soldiers of the Chu army breathed a sigh of relief.
"No. There is something wrong with this letter." The guerrillas who raised their guns shouted loudly after seeing Chu Jun's expression.
"Yes. Tell me, who wrote this letter. Tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, we will kill you." The old guerrilla shouted loudly.
"Speak quickly." The old guerrilla shouted loudly.

"Sir, what is it all about?" a platoon leader asked cautiously.
"En." Ying Yu frowned. After all, she didn't understand some characters written in Chu State. At present, the circulation of newspapers in Qin State is the largest. People can understand the outside world by relying on newspapers.And newspapers mostly use Qin Xiaozhuan, so among the people, the people all over the world mostly use Qin Xiaozhuan, because everyone recognizes Qin Xiaozhuan.But in the hands of high-level people, especially the nobles, they think that their country should use their own language.Therefore, it is opposed to the use of Qin Xiaozhuan.The content of this letter is basically in the Chu language.Ying Yu can only guess the general meaning of the letter based on its appearance and the contents of the letter.
"Don't rush. I'm really watching." Ying Yu said disgustedly.
"En." Ying Yu read the letter seriously.
"En." Ying Yu took the bamboo slips and read them over and over again.
"En. It seems to say that Linzi in Qi State has been surrounded by the Chu army. They also captured your King Qi. In a few days, a nobleman went to discuss something." Ying Yu looked at the bamboo slips and said.
"What?" upon hearing the news.Ying Yu's subordinates looked at Ying Yu in surprise.
"That's what's written in the letter. If you don't believe me, you can read it for yourself." As he spoke, Ying Yu threw the letter on the table.
"This. This." The subordinates couldn't believe the content of this very letter.
"We won't watch it either," said a platoon leader.
"En." Ying Yu nodded.
