"My minister plans to use tax reduction and tax exemption in the first stage to support trade development." Meng Yi said.Tax reduction and tax exemption policies have always been an important magic weapon for Qin to support business.This point, Shang Wen's policy has proved this point countless times.
"No. This is not enough." King Qin said after hearing Meng Yi's words at this time.
"This." Meng Yi looked at King Qin with some embarrassment.
"The state of Qin needs to build a large number of railways and roads. And where do these expenses come from? It is impossible for your prime minister's mansion to not pay a penny. But the prime minister's mansion can afford very little now. Where does this money come from? " Qin Wang asked at this time.
"This." Meng Yi suddenly didn't know what to do.
"The widow has a way." Qin Wang looked back at Meng Yi at this time and said.
"The widows believe that those small states that are under the government should pay a large amount of fees to ensure their safety, so that Qin can consider establishing diplomatic relations with them and start trade. And this fee can be used by Qin Build a large number of railways and roads. Isn't this better?" King Qin said to Meng Yi with a smile.
Hearing this, Meng Yi was a little worried.He frowned and thought about whether King Qin's approach was appropriate.What Meng Yi considered was that Qin State's diplomatic strategy on the border at this time should be appeasement, not intimidation, and King Qin is obviously intimidating at this time.The king of Qin was taking advantage of the crazy military attack of the Qin army before, and the coalition forces in the Western Regions suffered heavy losses.They are very jealous, afraid, and even afraid of the Qin army. They are afraid that the Qin army will launch another large-scale offensive. In that case, they will be powerless to resist and can only destroy the country.
And the more fear you have, the more potential you can arouse. Shang Wen mentioned some ideas about the Western Regions.These ideas come from Shangwen’s understanding of the Silk Road. Shangwen told Meng Yi that the Western Regions are definitely not pacified by war, but trade is what ultimately pacifies the Western Regions.Because there is only common trade and an open national policy.Only then can the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions develop the Western Regions, and then gather together with the Qin State as the leader, identify with the Qin State culture, and finally move towards a common and prosperous Western Region. This is just a concept of Shangwen. As far as the current situation is concerned, Shangwen believes that Qin State has It is impossible to continue to use troops.
There are many reasons. The first is that Qin State no longer has enough mobile troops to fight.Moreover, after the severe consumption of mobile forces in the Southwest Campaign, it is difficult for Qin to gather strength again in a short period of time.
Second, the Western Regions are huge.The power of Qin is very small.Facing the large-scale Western Regions, Qin State had to disperse its forces to control the newly occupied areas, and it was difficult for Qin State to actually control such areas in a short period of time.And the compressed Western Region Allied Forces.Forces shrink.The strength will also expand rapidly. If there is a counterattack, then the situation of Qin State will not be so favorable.
The third is that Qin's logistical supplies and far-flung reserve forces are far from keeping up with the pace of Qin's army.
Although Qin State established two states in the Western Regions, the actual situation is that the immigrant population is far less than 20.Coupled with the vast territory, only the local garrison crazily seized land resources, plus slaves.These states only counted over 20.In other words, among the two states established, slaves were included.Although there is no first-hand information from these two states to show the actual governance situation in these two states, according to various intelligence responses from the front line.The situation is not very optimistic.
The total number of Qin plus immigrants is estimated to be less than 20.The actual situation is just a little more than one hundred thousand.The number of the army is only a little over 2. If the Marine Corps combat force that was later deployed by the Qin Army is discarded, then the regular army only has more than 8000 people, and an army of nearly 2 people is stationed in a huge area. The area of control exceeds that of Chu State.From this point of view.The strength of the Qin army was extremely scattered.And the reserve force.Those militias, as well as mercenaries, are also very limited in strength.The total of the two may exceed [-], but it will definitely not reach [-] troops.
In addition to these, let's look at the number of slaves in the Western Regions.Because of the problem of railway transportation, the railway transportation to the Western Regions was affected by the Southwest War, causing a large number of slaves in the Western Regions to stay in the area, and the local farms and pastures urgently needed local people to be slaves for adaptive farming.As a result, a large number of slaves stayed in the area, and the number was conservatively estimated to be more than 30.An army of less than 5 people must not only defend against the attacks of the Western Regions, but also manage more than 30 slaves in a wide area.In Shangwen's view, this is absolutely impossible.
The last point, Shang Wen also thinks that it is very important that the countries of the Western Regions attacked by Qin State are already very ruthless.If the continued use of troops to oppress again, it may cause the Western Regions to form a second alliance and then launch a major counterattack. With the addition of more than 30 slaves in the Western Regions, Qin's situation may be extremely bad.
It is precisely with such a judgment as a reference that Meng Yi feels that it is very bad.Because doing so may cause Qin to continue to oppress the opponent, and the continued oppression will make the opponent disgusted.At this time, the king of Qin used the force of the Qin army as the basis for intimidation, which made Meng Yi feel very worried.Because the military force of the Qin army is a weak link in the Western Regions, if at this time, the Western Regions coalition forces take the initiative to launch a counterattack.The Qin army will break down without attacking.In that case, Qin Jun would lose his own land.This is very much worth the candle.
"Your Majesty, I think you shouldn't do this right now." Meng Yi decided to stop King Qin from doing so after thinking about it.
"Oh. Why?" King Qin asked with some surprise.
"Your Majesty, the power of Qin State in the Western Regions is extremely weak. I believe that this phenomenon exists not only in these areas, but also in the north of Qin State and in the Northeast Defense Area. These areas must be filled with large amounts of water. The military strength of Qin can make up for it, and the Qin army has been extremely scattered in order to occupy those areas at this time. If we ask for this fee, it will lead to the possibility that the Western Regions may once again form an alliance to suppress Qin. If that is the case, Qin The Qin army has no mobile force to fight. The Qin army may collapse greatly. In this way, it will be very unfavorable to the Qin army. Qin may have to fight again in the Western Regions. The minister believes that the Western Regions should be appeased now The alliance, adopt the method of attracting some to attack the other, and quickly attack the other party." Meng Yi suggested.
"En." Qin Wang looked at Meng Yi, and Qin Wang was thinking about what Meng Yi said.What Meng Yi said was indeed true.
"En. The widow agrees. But there is one point." Qin Wang looked at Meng Yi and said.
"Your Majesty." Meng Yi looked at King Qin in confusion.
"I'm going to take a look. Let's see what's going on in these new frontiers of Qin State." King Qin has already made up his mind.
"This. Your Majesty, no. Your Majesty. The border is so chaotic." Meng Yi was frightened when he heard such news.The King of Qin has always been eclectic in doing things. It can be said that he thinks of what is what.Such an approach usually scares a lot of people. This is the same as Shangwen. Shangwen always goes to the front line to check the situation in person, and only after seeing the results of the facts will he hold a meeting to discuss specific countermeasures.
"This matter is decided in this way. I am going to take a look at these places. Take a look at the military layout of Qin State. I have not seen the expansion of Qin State so much. Besides, there is a train, and it will be soon. " King Qin said proudly.
"But. I'm worried." Meng Yi said worriedly.
"Communication is so convenient now, the telegram arrives in the blink of an eye, is there something that cannot be clearly stated in the telegram?" King Qin said.
"Even if you can't make it clear, there are long-distance calls. These things are invented, and they are used. Now I have to use them. Don't worry." Qin Wang said.
"Your Majesty, the situation at the border has changed suddenly. Safety. How to ensure safety." Meng Yi said worriedly.
"The imperial forest army of the widow. The current Marine Corps is not vegetarian." King Qin said.
"It's time to test the fighting power. If they really can't resist, the widow will not say anything." King Qin said.
"Your Majesty." Meng Yi said very worriedly.
"It's decided like this." Qin Wang waved his hand and said.
"Xianyang will still be governed by the prime minister. With you here, I can rest assured, and so can the state of Qin." King Qin said with a smile.He didn't look worried at all.

1552 An Undercurrent
Outside the city of Linzi in the state of Qi.
"General. The movement of the Qi army is unknown. In the past few days, no one has surrendered at all." A junior officer said to the general of the Chu army with a face full of dust.
"Is it useless for the king of Qi to shout?" General Chu Jun asked.
"No. We kept asking him to shout, but the Qi army on the opposite side didn't respond at all." The junior officer said.
"Trash." General Chu Jun immediately cursed loudly after hearing such news.
"General." The junior officer immediately stepped forward, wanting to explain.
"I didn't mean you." The general felt the junior officer come forward and explained.
"This king of Qi is a waste at all." General Chu Jun said.
"You just let him yell like this?" General Chu Jun asked.
"Yes, General," replied the junior officer.
"It's not an option at all to continue like this." General Chu Jun said.
"Huh." General Chu Jun said very annoyed.
"General, what should we do?" the junior army officer asked.
"This King Qi is a waste. A complete waste." General Chu Jun scolded.
"Stay far away. Beat up this trash. It's best to let the Qi people see them. In this way, we can let the Qi people know how powerful we are." General Chu Jun expressed such an idea.
"This." The lower-level officer looked at General Chu in embarrassment. The people of Qi were quite capable of sniping.At this time, go to your lord and let the Qi people see that it may be the opponent's King Qi.This greatly embarrassed the junior officers of the Chu army.
"Just do it like this, don't do this." General Chu Jun looked at the other party impatiently.
"If those die-hard Qi people don't care, just give me some ruthlessness." General Chu Jun said as he walked.
"General, I don't understand." The junior officer asked, clasping his hands.
"I still don't understand, just let him bleed, or chop off a few of his fingers." General Chu Jun said.
"This." The lower-level officer looked at the other side in embarrassment. The lower-level officer thought it was inappropriate to do this, because there had never been a king who could be humiliated like this.If you insult the king of Qi like this.I am afraid that the Qi army will launch even greater retaliation. In that case, the backs of the junior officers will be soaked.
"What are you afraid of?" General Chu Jun said.
"Who knows, is he the real King of Qi or the fake King of Qi?" General Chu Jun said indifferently.
