"Loading shells.. Update as soon as possible" this time.A gunner came up and ordered.
This 'door' artillery was disassembled from a small warship.Infantry do not have their own powerful artillery weapons.so.They could only borrow such a cannon from a warship.
"Clatter." A gunner behind carefully loaded the shells.The infantry watched carefully.They are very curious about cannons.after all.among their ranks.Not yet equipped with infantry artillery.
"Okay," said a gunner after loading.
"Aim ahead. The tallest building. Get a shot," one of the gunners yelled.
"Aiming." A gunner aimed with both eyes.Such a strange aiming method made many Chu soldiers very curious.They wondered if he could hit it right.
"Boom." Then came a loud cannon.Shells roared past.
"Woo." The shell directly hit a low building in front of that building.
"Boom." There was a loud explosion.This suddenly shocked those fierce and normal congressmen.Many people's faces are pale.There is no blood 'color'.This is for them.It was like a bolt from the blue.
"This. This is a cannon." The businessman said with trembling legs.His bottom was soaked.A puddle of liquid flowed everywhere at this time.And there was some stench coming from under him.
"The Chu army is going to attack us." A warship captain turned pale.Standing unsteadily, he said.
"What should we do." This time.asked an old man sitting on the ground.For the sudden arrival of artillery bombardment.Everyone was terrified.They didn't expect Chu Jun to do this.
"Negotiation. We can only negotiate. We want to keep this situation going. This is the only way." A farmer also sat on the ground and said.
"General, it's too dangerous to rush to the beach like this." Said the captain and Xiang Liang sitting in the same boat.
"This matter must be resolved face to face. If it cannot be resolved, the consequences will be very bad for us." Xiang Liang said worriedly.The first mate sent to negotiate.After reaching the beach.No measures were taken.The reason for the reply turned out to be that he could not find the other party.This made Xiang Liang very annoyed.But think that this is the first time to occupy a colony.Xiang Liang felt that it was necessary to deal with it himself.So he went to the front by boat.Decided to personally negotiate with the congressmen of those colonies.
"It seems that someone is coming towards us." The soldier in charge of security shouted loudly at this time.
"Stop. Otherwise we will shoot." The guarded soldier shouted loudly at this time.
"Don't shoot. Don't shoot. We're here to negotiate." This time.A man from Chu State who was walking in the front shouted loudly.The man is well dressed.Looks very rich.
"What?" Chu soldiers asked loudly at this time.
"We're here to negotiate. We're here to negotiate." The well-dressed man waved the white handkerchief vigorously and shouted loudly.Waving a white handkerchief comes from Naofumi's practice.However, I don't know why this practice has spread to these countries.perhaps.White 'color' was very popular at that time.
"Raise your hands. Throw away all the weapons in your hands. Come over slowly one by one." A Chu soldier shouted loudly.
The well-dressed man raised his hand. . The first time to update the first time to go over.Soldiers of the Chu Army conducted a strict inspection on it.
"Kneel down." The soldiers of the Chu Army threw the well-dressed businessman on the ground with five 'flowers' tied up.
"Ouch." The businessman yelled.And Xiang Liang was sitting in a boat at this time.Look at the well-dressed businessman.And there are many people behind.Their clothes are depraved.From the perspective of clothing.They vary greatly.Well-dressed natural living conditions are better.Those who are poorly dressed are a little panicked.The businessman looks.Well enough.relatively calm.
"What's your name?" Xiang Liang asked.
"The general asked you what to say." A Chu army officer kicked the businessman.
"It hurts." The merchant yelled loudly at this time.
"Release everyone. Since it is a negotiation, it must be fair." Xiang Liang said at this time.
"Here." An officer on the side looked at Xiang Liang worriedly.
"Let's untie it." Xiang Liang waved his hand.
"General. Excuse me." The businessman said after untying him.
"I don't know what the purpose of the general's visit is. But I know. The general must have come for profit." The businessman said straight to the point at this time.
"It's not wrong." Xiang Liang said at this time.
"It's just that you don't know what I'm trying to gain."Xiang Liang said at this time.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty. I think that the general came here. It is only for the benefit of my colony." The nature of a businessman is driven by profit.They are already at a loss and this continues.Naturally, they still have to fight hard.So the businessman moved out such a truth.
"Oh. Let's talk about it. What is the general's interest? Say the right thing. I think. We still have the right to talk about it. If it's not right, then you will be shot." Xiang Liang threatened at this time.
"This." The businessman looked at Xiang Liang at this moment.but.The businessman thinks about it.Then there are some calculations.Why do soldiers fight.Do they have enmity with people?No.They would never fight like this.The reason for war cannot be profit.Just like those natives fighting.Fight for 'women'.Fight for territory.Still fighting for some living supplies.And these things.Nothing more than interests.And to be precise about the interests.Each has its own needs.What is this need.Businessman is pondering.
But the businessman looked around at the Chu soldiers.Then there are some eyebrows.military spending.Today's military is not what it used to be.former army.As long as there is food.You can quickly gather an army.
And today's army.But different.Military money is required to buy guns.Military expenses are required to purchase ammunition.Build ships.Buy cannons.Everything needs military spending.And where does military spending come from?It is impossible to give it out for no reason.
"Military expenses." The businessman said at this time.
"The general's trip should be for military expenses. The main source of military expenses is tax collection." The businessman looked at Xiang Liang and said.
"En." Xiang Liang nodded with a smile at this time.
"You haven't told me yet. What's your name?" Xiang Liang asked at this time.
"The little one is called Huang Bu." The businessman said at this time.
"En. Talk over here." Xiang Liang stood up at this moment.Made a gesture of please.
Huang Bu looked at Xiang Liang in surprise
And Xiang Liang looked at each other with a smile.Then walk away slowly.Huang Bu followed nervously at this moment.
"What do you think about the management of the colony and the collection of taxes?" Xiang Liang asked immediately.

1381 The surrender of the colonies
"I think.. Visit: щщщ. The colony is different from the Chu country. The people here come here with a pioneering and enterprising spirit to build their own homeland. Compared with the desperate situation in China, they are more full of vitality." Huang Bu Said to Xiang Liang excitedly.
Xiang Liang just listened patiently.do nothing.
"Chu's colony. It was established based on the states of Qin. The Qin people have a parliament in the state. We also have a parliament. The parliament is generally elected by the local people. In this way, everyone can participate fairly. But in Chu State, only the nobles have the final say. We have no right to speak at all. From this point, colonies cannot be managed like domestically." Huang Bu said.Huang Bu knew Xiang Liang's purpose very well. .Update for the first time when Xiang Liang raises such a question.Huang Bu already knew Xiang Liang's purpose.His purpose is to seize the dominion of the colonies.Huang Bu knew.If the Chu** team does this.So.The colony will become an overseas territory of Chu State.colony.will completely lose their autonomy.
The reason why the colonial economy developed rapidly.It is because the colonies have great autonomy.Such power brought great influence to the colonial economy.Free and easy.Especially without the burden of taxation.Let the entities of the colonial economy have only a very light burden.It is such a light burden.Let the colonial economy develop rapidly.but.If this time.The colonial economy has the words of the government.Especially a strong government.for example.Although the purpose of Xiang Liang's trip was to collect taxes.But taxation must have the existence of a state power agency.This institution is the government.Taxes can only be collected through the government.And these taxes.Only then can it be further allocated to the Chu army.become the cost of war expenses.
"So. The colony's economy comes from autonomy. The purpose of the general's trip seems to be to collect taxes. But the collection of taxes will establish a powerful government. The emergence of this government will inevitably interfere with the colonial economy. This is for the colony It is a disaster for the sustainable development of the economy. Many people will flee here. Because the taxes here are very high. And if the colony loses population, it will lead to economic recession. The general should seek a balance point . Stabilize the economy of the colony. At the same time. Can meet their own needs. Especially in terms of taxation." Huang Bu said at this time.
Xiang Liang thought about it carefully at this time.He thinks yellow step.The businessman in front of him was right.think about it.The biggest purpose of your own army coming here is to collect taxes.But how to collect taxes.Xiang Liang didn't know anything about this place.The terrain here.As well as the customs of the local people and the wealth here. . He didn't even know about the first update.If it is collected rashly.It will become a plunder.think about it.Those soldiers must take some measures to fill their own pockets for their own 'private' interests.And this time.It is difficult for the Chu army itself to control the development of the situation.To know.Many people don't care about these.They will all try to find ways to fill their pockets.There is plenty of wealth here.
Think here.Xiang Liang had an impulse.but.Xiang Liang quickly calmed down again.If so.So what about his army logistics base.The resistance of the locals grows stronger after the first time.Could it be.Is the Chu State Navy going to carry out offensive operations again and again? .Update as soon as possible
Obviously this is not acceptable.Because this will bring the Chu army into an endless loop.The Chu army could not get a logistics base.You have to return to the mainland again and again for logistical supplements.And the colonies.It will strengthen the defense.Thus.Both sides will increase in strength.The Chu army could not completely occupy the colony.The colonies would certainly put up a desperate resistance.Even calm down.Will do this again in the future.This doesn't solve the problem at all.
And the Chu army came from afar.Logistical supply is difficult.A logistics supply base is urgently needed.If a terms of peaceful coexistence is reached with the colonies.Such a balanced pattern can be balanced.
"As for you, general.. Update as soon as possible and your subordinates. They all come from the mainland of Chu State. Logistics supply is difficult. And the colony of Chu State can provide a good port for the general. Our merchant ships can also provide For general use. Provide necessary materials from the mainland of Qin. And the local colony. Can provide other material support. And the general is in the name of protecting the colony. Collect taxes. For military expenditure. In this way, the general can be stable The military power has grown." Huang Bu put forward such a view.In his opinion.Although Chu's colonies developed rapidly economically.But there is an indisputable fact.This fact is.The Chu colonies did not have a strong government.And this government does not actually exist.Please come to more and faster chapters.It is also because of the relationship that does not exist.This led to the lack of security in the economic development of Chu's colonies.There is no mandatory 'sexual' taxation.There is no money to support an army to provide them with protection.And this incident.Let Huang Bu have a clear understanding.Even if the colony is very rich.but.Without the protection of armed forces.Then these wealth will disappear quickly.If the Chu army robbed brutally.Then the people in the colonies have nothing to do.
