"En. Very good." The lieutenant colonel nodded at this time.

"However. The battle on the two wings is really worrying." The lieutenant colonel looked at the Xianbei people on the two wings at this time.Their situation is completely in the state of gang fights.Soldiers from both sides fought together.One-on-one sparring.The two sides reached a stalemate.The Xianbei people, who are not dominant in numbers, have a slight upper hand in weapons.But the bravery of the two cancels each other out.Mountain people and Xianbei people are equally brave.Both are warlike peoples.

But in the center.Most of the most elite troops of the Xianbei used muskets.The musket fire of the elite troops took turns.This caused the mountain people to perform very poorly on the breakthrough in the center.Only a small number of people are close to each other.None of the rest came close to each other.They were still suppressed by the opponent's muskets.

"This is not a war at all. A war can be fought like this. These barbarians." Lieutenant Colonel Qin Jun felt very disdainful of the fighting between the two sides.Even annoyed.Neither side has any tactics to commend it at all.It is completely the way of fighting in groups of barbarians.

"Boom." At this moment.The artillery fired again.

After the lieutenant colonel heard the artillery firing again.was very surprised.Because the double-shot soldiers are all mixed together at this time.Look at the shooting at this time.It is the practice of killing even one's own people.

"Oh. Ah." Cannonball quickly responded.Cannonballs fly a little farther.Close to the rear of the mountain men.Those mountain people who were crowding forward were knocked down by the flying shells.Then the solid shell flew out.The first update didn't hit anything right.

"Huh." The lieutenant colonel would feel a false alarm in such a battle.

"Boom. Boom." But then the sound of rumbling cannons came continuously.Obviously.The Xianbei people were firing their weapons regardless of everything.

"Whoosh." Cannonballs kept coming.Shoot those who run fast.They don't care about that at all.

"Clatter." A large group of mountain people were knocked to the ground.Most of them are people in the back team.

"Woooooooooo." At this moment.There was a lot of confusion in the Mountaineer's rear.

Some of the frightened men who had been hit by the cannon began to leave the field.And some people try to stop them.but.The situation is getting worse.

But the two warlike peoples seem to pay little attention to this.Especially mountain people.They are always looking forward.For those in the back team.It doesn't seem to be that important.Because of timidity.Cowardly people are always behind.And those brave and warlike warriors.It is the most powerful.

"Bang bang." Sporadic gunshots rang out.The central troops of the Xianbei and the Shandi fought.Because it is a melee relationship.The Xianbei became less likely to shoot.At this time, it was obviously too late to load the bullet.Fighters from both sides fought together.

"Huh." Seeing such a situation.The first time the lieutenant colonel was updated, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Brave Xianbei Yong.Defeat a Mountain Man with a flintlock swing.And another mountain.Throw the stone ax at the opponent.The ax hit a Xianbei man.And the mountain man who threw the stone ax rushed over to fight with the opponent at this time.The two sides suddenly formed a chaotic situation.

War is an art.A violent art.But in a battle like this.It's pure violence.There is no art in it at all.Soldiers on both sides rely on brute force.Fight with your courage.No.Maybe not even called a war.

"Boom." At this time, the cannon made a rumbling sound.The shells kept falling on the rear team of the mountain people.The mountain people on the rear team were constantly hit and fell to the ground.But the front attack is still going on.Adhesively going on.This is how the two sides fight.

The rumbling of the guns was still ringing.The artillery still hit the rear team of the mountain people.But the mountain people don't seem to be afraid.Continue to press the front line to fight.The two sides are completely in a posture of you coming and going.

This Chendou fought from morning to afternoon.The lieutenant colonel almost sat on the battlefield and watched Chendou.

The final result is.Both the Xianbei people and the mountain people suffered a lot.Blood is everywhere on the battlefield.There are dead bodies everywhere.The howling wounded were brutally killed by the Xianbei people with weapons in their hands.Wounded prisoners of war are of no use.The other party will not show mercy to the other party's wounded.

The Xianbei people took advantage of their firearms.Slightly suppressed the mountain people for a while.Because of the constant shooting.It caused a lot of psychological pressure on the other party.The shooting effect of the musket caused great casualties to the opponent.

In the end, facing huge casualties and exhaustion, the mountain people finally withdrew from this Chendou.But the Xianbei people also paid a certain price.But the war still did not resolve the territorial issues between the two sides.

"This battle is pure violence. It's meaningless." This is how the lieutenant colonel commented on the battle.

A senseless war was going on in the North.The South is also undergoing quiet changes.

"Has the goods we want arrived?" The captain of the firearms in the Dongzhou colony asked anxiously a Chu firearms merchant.

"It's coming. It went smoothly. I didn't encounter pirates along the way. If I encounter pirates, I think this munitions will be over." The arms dealer said at this time.

"Oh. Very good." The Musketeer captain said anxiously.

"How many cannons are there?" the Musketeer Captain asked at this time.

"Well. There are about twenty. But they all need to be assembled. It will take some time. I also invited a retired artillery officer from Qin State. He will teach you how to use artillery. He is an artillery expert." said the businessman.

"En. This is great. We finally have our own cannon." The gun captain said excitedly.

"Quick unloading. We're going to see our cannon." This time.The musketeer captain shouted loudly.

1479 The Tax Case of the People of Qin

The militias in the colonies received a considerable sum of money from the parliament to purchase armaments.In order to improve the security of the colony.The threat to the colony wasn't just from Vietnamese attacks on land.At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against pirates attacking from the sea.The latter threat has become increasingly serious.

Because the pirates are equipped with a lot of artillery.The existence of these artillery.There was a serious threat to the colony.This threat has always been there.The colony had no choice but to adopt its own measures to maintain its own security.This is a big reason why they buy artillery.

This is what an arms race does.What promoted this arms race was Qin's developed military production.Qin's arsenal does not produce advanced cannons.machine gun.rifle.Instead, a large number of cheap flintlock guns.firing gun.Or a valve rifle.The artillery is also an old-fashioned bronze artillery.The export volume of steel cannons is very small.Although his accuracy is very high.Six left-handed rifling on the inner wall.But the price is on those pirates.For the Chu State Navy.too expensive.They simply can't afford it.What they want is.cheap.A large number of smoothbore guns.These artillery need to form an overwhelming advantage in numbers.And at this time neither side has much money.Buyers have limited purchasing power.With limited purchasing power.Qin's arsenal can only produce these cheap artillery.arms export.

Insufficient purchasing power is what leads to this period.The reason why many armies are still equipped with flintlock guns and smoothbore guns.purchasing power.The Warring States period in this period was still at an important turning point between a backward and low-production era and an era of great change.In front of the intersection of such an era.Where to go.become an important ulcer.And this era.Only follow the trend of history.Only in this way can a country rise rapidly.

Changsha city.Xiang Yan is rapidly operating Changsha City with the help of Qin State Bank.

"What did the announcement say?" A farmer in Changsha City asked at this time.

"Oh. The above said. What reforms will be carried out in Changsha City." A person who can read said.But what specific reforms.He couldn't figure it out himself.

"Reform. What should be changed?" the farmer asked with concern.

"I don't know what to change. What to say. We need to reform the toll for merchant ships. This toll will require a lot of people who are in charge of merchant ships to discuss it. However, there is one item that is beneficial to you." The person who could read said.

"What's the advantage?" the farmer asked very concerned at this time.

"You don't seem to have to pay taxes anymore," said the man who could read.

"What?" the farmer exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right. That's what it said in the first update. You don't have to pay taxes. But those who have a lot of land must pay taxes." The person who could read said at this time.

"That's great. You don't have to pay taxes. I can feed my children." The farmer left happily.

Those who could read looked at the announcement on the city wall in confusion.

After the Chu State Navy occupied Changsha City.Quickly took over the entire Changsha city.But the actual control of Changsha is still in the hands of the local nobles.Although the main nobles were dealt with by Xiang Yan.But other local nobles remained.And these nobles do not pay taxes.It is obviously not enough for Xiang Yan to rely solely on tolls.Please come to more and faster chapters.

Qin Guo Bank is also very worried about this.In order to raise the funds they released as soon as possible.They can only let the Chu State Navy target the local nobles in Changsha in terms of taxation.

Logically speaking.Concentration of land.And it is very correct to conduct commercial operations.Because the future trend is like this.but.The local nobles in Changsha hold a large amount of land.Their land operation is almost very similar to Qin's farm management.They are dealing in commodity crops.Such as hemp.mulberry.etc.And food.Except rice.Very little production is done.Thus.There will be problems with the food supply of Chu State.Be the first to update especially the army.The army has a huge demand for food.At this time, no food is grown locally.This cannot effectively guarantee the supply of military rations.

Not only that.High concentration of land.caused great social problems.There are many people without land.They don't even have any source of income.This is equivalent to many people not working and they are wandering for a long time.unemployed state.This is a serious waste of social resources.If these people have jobs.If there is a source.It will generate a lot of fiscal and tax revenue.for this.Qin Guo Bank has a very clear understanding.But the problem is.How to get these people to work.

Qin State Bank has a problem with Chu State.With very in-depth research.Updating them the first time is going to have to dig deeper.Because their lending object is the Chu State Navy.Chu's navy has no source.They also have to follow without any income.

"Chu's tax revenue only comes from a small group of people. And such a huge country, with such a dense population, only relies on a small group of people to pay taxes for maintenance. This is simply a miracle." Qin Bank investigated Chu after the situation in the country.Such a sigh.

The actual situation in Chu State is like this.This country is very loose.Loose arrived.Gathering strength is very slow.This is why Chu State was defeated by Qin State.And after the unification of Qin State.The power of Chu State was so fast in destroying Qin.This may be the important reason.

The state of Chu is very large.The power looks great.but.The part used for war.But very few.And support the operation of this country.Just rely on some people.Because this country has a huge aristocratic system.These nobles are wrong and complicated.intertwined with each other.The new aristocracy colluded with the old aristocracy.And after the two sides colluded.There will be new goals.They mainly squeezed the national power of Chu State.They were able to get a considerable fiefdom from Chu.And the taxes in these fiefdoms.Except for a part that is given to the state.All the rest is your own.That is.The state of Chu is equivalent to the union of many independent small countries.They are ostensibly one country.And actually.on taxation issues.They're pretty fucked.Because most of the taxes went into the pockets of these nobles themselves.And those who pay taxes are in addition to paying the state.You have to pay the nobility.This creates a double.double taxation.This further led to the poverty and weakness of the Chu people.Chu people don't have much affection for the country.The reason is that they are taxed too harshly.

at this point.It can be shown in combat effectiveness.The people of Chu fought bravely.but.The state taxation is too high.Naturally, there will be no hope for the country.

This is the reason why Chu State's combat power is not strong.Now.The state of Chu wants to collect taxes.Especially these taxes to a large extent.Repay Qin's debt as soon as possible.Qin people think.Then tax those weak tax-collecting groups.Obviously already very unreasonable.Because those people are likely to cause turbulent social problems.this problem.It will further and destroy the economic entity of Chu State.then.After some research by the people of Qin.Decided to change the tax target to the richest.The most wealthy nobleman of the Chu Kingdom.

The nobles of Chu State owned a large amount of land.and various mineral resources.They have a lot of wealth in their hands.This wealth comes from the income of their fiefs.
