For such a condition, the congressmen in the colony still have no reason to refuse. Of course they agreed to do so. After all, they were defeated, and naturally they had nothing to say.
At this time, Xiang Liang also achieved his goal. His goal was to obtain local taxes, and at the same time be able to recruit soldiers in time to participate in the main battles of the Chu army. Although the tax was set at 5.00%, think about it, If the plate of the local colony is large enough, then 5.00% is quite a considerable amount. Thinking of this, Xiang Liang thinks this is the best way to solve the problem of trust in the colony.
There is a big trust problem between the colony and the Chu army. This trust problem cannot be resolved by force. Only by paying some conditions that both parties are satisfied with can such trust be obtained. The basis for such trust between the two sides is armed force. Armed forces can bring security and at the same time check and balance each other. Under such conditions, the two sides are willing to achieve their demands.
The Chu army can get taxes and enjoy the power of the garrison, while the colonial authorities can enjoy the power of the militia, so that their safety is further guaranteed. At the same time, they can spend a certain amount of money and taxes to ensure that they urgently need to enjoy the wealth they created. , this is fair to them, under such a fair deal, the colonial authorities are naturally satisfied,
"General, the current Chu State Navy has sufficient funds, and, in the Beigang area of Qin State, it has begun to build various warships for the Chu Army, and the weapons are also being delivered. The general should make a good plan for the next step. ,” said the representative of Qin State Bank to General Xiang Yan,
"En," Xiang Yan just nodded in agreement,
"So what do you think?" Xiang Yan asked at this time,
"Yes, General," said the bank representative at this moment,
"Oh, tell me," Xiang Yan asked with great interest at this time,
"General, we should attack Changsha City in Chu State," the bank representative said proactively at this time,
"What?" Xiang Yan was clearly bewildered by such a sudden statement,
"The general should attack Changsha City, establish a major administrative and military management center, and most importantly, occupy Changsha, which can effectively control the Yangtze River, especially in the phase of Chu State's trade with Qin State. Near Changsha City, there are a large number of The merchant ships of the Chu state are berthed, and more merchant ships of the Chu state pass by. It is also the main narrow area of the Yangtze River, and effective fortresses can be built to defend it. Not only that, but also major berthing ports can be established, not only for military use, but also for There are a large number of civilian ports to fill," said Qin's bank representative at this time,
The analysis made by the representative of the Qin State Bank is unreasonable. Changsha City, as a city that existed in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, has a very important strategic position. Moreover, with the prominent role of the Yangtze River in transportation, the role of Changsha has become more and more prominent.
Not only from the perspective of shipping, but also from the perspective of the Chu State Navy, Changsha City is also a strong fortress. Building a fort in Changsha can contain the mouth of the Yangtze River. At the same time, for the Chu State Navy that uses wooden sailboats In other words, it is an important berthing port, and Changsha is well-run, it has always been a rich place, and the local developed agriculture provides sufficient food. These are indeed the best choice for the Chu State Navy to come. ,
For the Qin people, attacking Changsha, especially occupying Changsha, is of great strategic significance.
Occupying Changsha, the strength of Chu's water army will grow rapidly, but at present, the Chu army does not have a stable governance center, and the collection of taxes by the Chu army will become extremely unstable, because taxes are collected at will, Obviously, it is necessary to bear the huge political risk. You must know that excessive taxation is because of the rebellion. In this way, it will have a great reaction to the economy. In turn, it will affect the concentration of the Chu army. ,
The reason why Qin’s banks think this way is entirely because of their interests. If they can’t help Chu’s navy get timely financial income, their loans will become extremely tight. You know, they are dealing with a kind of Government forces cooperate, and this government power is based on their armed forces, the more they invest, the greater their grip, because the army is an expendable organization, and the army only consumes without any economic The value of the increase, the bankers obviously cannot expect the Chu army to fight a large-scale war to obtain the previous investment, and then let the Chu army return the capital with interest to the Qin Bank.
It is obviously impossible to recover the cost of spending money and letting the other party go to war. It is precisely because of this concern that the bankers of the Qin State have asked that the Chu State Navy should establish a stable rear. There must be a thriving economic zone. Only the establishment of these economic zones can rapidly stimulate the economic growth of Chu State. On the basis of economic growth, the Chu State navy can collect more taxes to repay Qin State's debts.
If you don't do this, the bankers of the Qin State will lose everything, which is simply a disastrous consequence for them.
"We must occupy Changsha, which is not only rich in resources and convenient in transportation, but also has a great strategic turning point for the future development of the Chu State Navy," said the representative of Qin State Bank,
"After occupying Changsha, Chu State's navy directly established a considerable part of the political power. In terms of tax collection, there is only great help. Only in this way can Chu State's navy enter a new stage of development," said the representative of Qin State Bank ,
"But the Chu State navy has no strength to attack Changsha. You know, Changsha can be a well-defended fortress," Xiang Yan said,
"General, you have quite an objective armed force. As long as you are willing, I think the Qin State Bank can supplement your strength and let you speed up the attack on Changsha," said the bank representative.
"Well, of course I would," Xiang Yan readily agreed,
"Well," the bank representative nodded worriedly. The bank will issue another loan to the other party. This amount has seriously exceeded the current repayment ability of Chu's navy, but Qin wants to get their principal back. that's the only way to do it,
Just when Qin State Bank suggested that the other side attack Changsha, Zhao State was also actively planning their disarmament.
"According to Prime Minister Guo Kai's order, our army will be downsized to 10 people," Li Mudeng said, because the overall combat effectiveness of the Zhao army has not improved on a large scale, that is to say, if the combat effectiveness remains the same Under the current situation, the reduction in the number of Zhao Jun will directly lead to a direct decline in the combat effectiveness of Zhao Jun. This is not a good decision for Zhao Jun.
"Fortunately, the Qin army is scattered and has no time to take care of us. In addition, the Qin army has also shown its willingness in this regard. There is news from Qin that King Qin has agreed to sign the agreement. This is a good thing for us. news," Li Mu said to the generals present,
"General, what will we do with the reduced soldiers?" a major general officer said excitedly. As for the disarmament, the Zhao army had already digested the news. Zhao Guo was unable to support such a huge army. In fact, a large amount of military expenditure was turned into his own money by Guo Kai, and this money can be used in the army.
"I originally planned to establish a reserve team like the Qin Army, or an armed force like militia, but as far as the current situation is concerned," Li Mu shook his head and said,
"It doesn't work, Zhao Guo is unable to allocate this money, this is a great misfortune for Zhao Jun," Li Mu said,
When the generals heard the news, they all felt sorry,
"But this general, he came up with a good idea, that is to support war with war. Qin State retains a considerable amount of objective armed forces. These armed forces are all private armed forces. They are actively expanding abroad and absorbing local interests. Then let these benefits be transformed into their military expenditures, and then they continue to expand," Li Mu said,
"The Zhao army can do the same, and the Zhao army can also become the main source of these private armed forces. In this way, our Zhao army's soldiers can be quickly increased when the war requires it, without having to raise them on a large scale. The number of personnel," Li Mu calculated,
"Well, this is a good way," all the generals agreed unanimously,
Li Zuoche, who was sitting in the corner, frowned at this time. He felt that this method was good, but there were some shortcomings. Moreover, he felt that this method was inappropriate. As for what was inappropriate, he himself had no idea Make it clear, but the problem is that it is not appropriate,
In fact, this problem is a matter of the state's permission. Qin's armed forces are allowed to exist by the state. That is to say, the state knows that these armed forces do exist. At the same time, Qin State can also keep its reserve team in it. Qin State allows it to do so.
But in Zhao State, there is a great risk in doing so. This risk comes from the fact that this country cannot solve the problem of military arming well. That is to say, Zhao State’s military system is very bad, and there is a big gap between civil servants and generals. , This gap caused Zhao Guo to fall into chaos. In the Changping War, in such a critical battle, Zhao Guo had to change generals because of the imperfect military system, which eventually led to a devastating blow. Now Zhao Guo's economy It is developing rapidly, the civil officials are in power, and the generals make such a move at this time, which will obviously affect the interests of the civil officials, so the civil and military will be at odds, and the discord will cause serious domestic political problems. This is the characteristic of Zhao's politics ,

"Dig... The update is so fast. Dig quickly." The Chu army was on the front line.A Chu army officer urged loudly.
"Ding ding." And the soldiers of the Chu army said at this time.Dig their trenches with whatever tools they can find.They use bayonets.The only shovel.Or other tools.hoe.plow to dig their trenches.
"Dig it like this. What's the result?" A Chu soldier used his bayonet to loosen the frozen soil.
"At least. You don't have to fight anymore. It's not worth it to let those Qi troops kill you." Said the veteran sitting aside.Recruits are sent to do these things.
"En." The recruit nodded at this time.These things are to them.Already very lucky.
As the Chu army's offensive suffered successive setbacks.Chu Jun had to stop. .Updating their logistics supply line in the first time requires a considerable amount of ammunition to meet the needs of the front line.
At this time, the Chu army also began to consciously learn the tactics of the Qi army.Dig trenches.Strengthen your defense.The two armies officially formed a confrontational situation.The densely packed trenches continue to extend along the line of combat confrontation between the two sides.The war has reached a stalemate.

"I. Why am I here." After Shangwen woke up.Seeing Han Shu sitting next to him, he asked such a question.
"If I remember correctly, I should follow the Mo family. But, I don't know why I appear here." Shang Wen said at this time.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's God's will." Han Shu looked at Shang Wen and said with a smile.Please come to more and faster chapters.She felt it herself.Shangwen was able to come to himself.It is God's intentional arrangement.
"En. Alright. Maybe this is what God meant." Shangwen waved his arms at this time and said.
"Ahem." Shang Wen had just finished speaking.He coughed again and again.
"How is it?" Han Shu asked immediately when she saw Shang Wen coughing.
"It's okay." Shangwen said, waving his arms.
"Are you really okay?" Han Shu asked at this time.
"It's okay." Shangwen nodded at this time.
"You should pay attention to your body." Han Shu said at this time.
"The imperial doctor said. You are too tired. And. The internal fire is too strong. More and faster chapters are welcome. These are caused by staying up late for a long time and irregular work and rest." Han Shu said at this time.
