755 Hanging Water Pirates
".
After discussing a series of countermeasures, Shang Wen asked his assistant to sort out the content and send it to the country of Qin by telegram. As for what the country of Qin thinks, it depends on how the king of Qin is. Shang Wen can only express his own opinion at present.
However, when King Qin saw Shang Wen's report, he thought that it was very inappropriate for Qin to take the initiative to negotiate, and it was not a wise move, because if he actively negotiated, he would have the feeling of showing weakness. Then in the subsequent negotiations, Qin will face a passive situation. This situation is very unfavorable to the situation of Qin, because the King of Qin believes that it is still too early to negotiate.
It is not only King Qin who holds this view, but also Wei Liao, Wang Jian and others. They also believe that active negotiations will not help Qin's current situation. On the contrary, not only will it not help, it will probably cause Qin to become passive situation
"If Qin State takes the initiative to negotiate, then Qi State thinks that as long as they win in the military, they may take the initiative. In that case, Qin State's external situation will be very unfavorable, and this will greatly increase the pressure on the military. We are already in a more serious military disadvantage, so I don't agree to start diplomatic means now. On the contrary, I think we should use any means other than diplomacy to contact the people of Qi, only when the people of Qi feel pressured. "Wang Jian said to Wei Liao on the phone
"Well, I also agree with your opinion, but I think we should take some easing measures in terms of commerce and export. You should know that if we take commerce, the reaction from the commercial side will be greater, and the pressure on our public opinion will be greater. You should know me, but If civil servants fail to solve the problem militarily and cause other problems, then my responsibility will be great." Wei Liao said on the phone that what Wei Liao means is that if commercial and trade are used to promote exports, especially steel exports, then Qin's domestic pressure, especially steel. It will put pressure on it, and it will be reported in the news media that the government will be in a very unfavorable position, because the Qin government did not solve the military problem well and turned to commercial methods, which caused the interests of Qin merchants to suffer. Such a loss will lead to a reduction in taxes, which is a kind of damage to Qin's economy itself.
Wei Liao's views are very unique. Wang Jian is the first to know the impact of economic issues on the military.
"I haven't thought about this problem yet, but I think we should have other ways," Wang Jian said.
"Well, well, I'm thinking of other ways." Wei Liao said immediately, his thinking just considered the major problems that would arise after China's export trade. This kind of problem is a double-edged sword that can harm Qi and at the same time. Harm to Qin's economy requires finding a balance between the two. This balance is how to consider both immediate interests and future interests.
This kind of interest consideration depends on the specific needs of Qin State. According to Qin State's current needs, Qin State's current main task is to start around the military siege. On the one hand, Qin State tried its best to avoid being involved in the war. Then this matter will be reported by the domestic media of Qin State, which will cause a strong public opinion pressure. This kind of public opinion pressure may ignite the warlike heart in the hearts of the people of Qin State. Once ignited, the consequences will cause great harm to Qin State. The government is bound to fall into the condemnation of public opinion. If the government cannot participate in the war, the Qin government, especially Shang Wen's government, is likely to collapse early. No matter how much you have contributed, as long as Qin is in a weak position in foreign affairs, you have to step down.
Once Shang Wen's government collapses, who knows who will come to power and what policies will be implemented, and whether the subsequent political situation will be stable can only depend on the direction of history, because Shang Wen has lost the greatest possible control.
So now the problem has to be solved in a proper way
While Qin State was busy with how to solve the current crisis, the south of Qin State was not idle since Qin State began to build a large-scale armed merchant fleet and took continuous crackdown on water pirates in Chu State. The attitude of tolerance means that Qin's armed merchant fleet and Chu's water pirates have formed a high-pressure situation. The formation of this situation has seriously deteriorated the living environment of water pirates.
"Big Iron Boat" A soldier of the Chu State Navy holds an old-fashioned wooden binoculars in his hand to look at the Qin State armed merchant ships approaching in the distance
What then appeared in the eyes of the soldiers of the Chu State Navy was more large iron ships of the State of Qin. This is an armed merchant ship of the State of Qin, with a scale of more than 22 ships of various sizes.
"Are we going to check these ships from the State of Qin?" The sailor from the State of Chu held a telescope in his hand and watched the armed merchant ships from the State of Qin approaching, while the armed merchant ships from the State of Qin on the opposite side were also holding a telescope to check the situation here. Not only that, Qin The muzzles of the machine guns on the Chinese armed merchant ships are all aimed at this side
"You don't want to kill us. What kind of ship are we? They belong to the ship's mother." A veteran of the Chu State Navy kicked up and scolded loudly. The thinking of this Chu State Navy soldier is too dangerous. Qin State Armed Merchant Ship
Some ships of the Chu State Navy are not even equipped with artillery. They still use old-fashioned bows and crossbows. These weapons are simply not a huge threat to those Qin State armed merchant ships made of iron armor. What's more, Qin State armed merchant ships. Equipped with machine guns, it can easily kill any ship in the Chu State's navy, and this is only an armed merchant ship of Qin State, not a warship of Qin State. The scope, depth and frequency of activities are also getting wider and wider. Chu’s navy wants to control them, but they can’t control them at all. The difference in weapons is very large, and Chu doesn’t have any weapon that can stop them. This has led to Chu’s navy attacking Qin’s armed merchant ships. Neglect of management
This attitude of not caring made Qin's armed merchant ships feel more at ease and bold enough to do it, especially taking stricter measures against pirates.
"Jing San, the leader of water pirates in the state of Chu, repeatedly led the crowd to rob the merchant ships of the state of Qin and premeditatedly killed the merchants of the state of Qin, causing great economic losses to the state of Qin. Hang him and execute him immediately." A Qin captain stood on the deck of an armed Qin merchant ship and pronounced his sentence
"In addition, all the members of his gang will be hanged and his corpse will be hanged to warn him." The captain of the state of Qin looked at the water pirates of the state of Chu pitifully. This group of water pirates pursued for more than three days in a row, and finally wiped out all of them in the harbor where they were moored. The leader and several of his subordinates were captured alive. As for how to deal with the captain of Qin's armed merchant ship, he thought it should be captured by Qin himself. It was dealt with according to the method of the people of Qin, so the captain of Qin tried him and gave him a cruel death sentence.
"Go to hell!" A crew member of the Qin State desperately pulled the rope in his hand
"Ooh" the water thief tried desperately to break free from the rope around his head, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. Then he felt his feet leave the ground and his neck was tightly strangled, and he couldn't feel a little bit. the air enters the body and feels like everything is being emptied
"I'm gracious" the pirate leader struggled desperately and wanted to speak, but his blushing face was already red to the neck, and his whole body was struggling non-stop.
"Hehehe..." The crew of Qin State watched pitifully as the water pirate leader struggled meaninglessly.
"Hahaha, damn water pirates, go to hell!" Qin's crew made all kinds of insulting actions towards water pirates.
In the end, the water pirates slowly lost any struggle. He was hanged alive on the armed merchant ship of the Qin State, and then the crew of the Qin State put the other gangs on ropes and pulled them up forcefully.
"Forgive me, I have no choice but to do this. I have an old mother at home, and I want to go home..." a water bandit from Chu State who was trying to intercede loudly shouted. My own life, but the ships of Qin State were hit too hard by the water pirates of Chu State, and the policy is that they cannot forgive them forever Then put on the rope fiercely and hang up quickly
The water pirates struggled desperately to get rid of it, but they couldn't get rid of it, and then died slowly. Seeing this scene, many water pirates were afraid of the purpose of hanging. In this way, the hanging was not bloody, but it could cause great fear in the hearts of the prisoners. I feel that this is what Captain Qin wants to see
Some water pirates peed on their pants on the spot, and some people kept shaking. Anyway, these water pirate pairs were put on ropes one by one and hung on Qin's armed merchant ships, and their bodies hung like this all day long. above
So Qin's armed merchant ships began to hang those water pirate corpses as a blessing for the ship, because this meant that the water pirates in Chu State had suffered a great blow and they were not afraid of water pirates. If they dared to come, this would be the consequence.
756 Give them a moment
".
Qin's armed merchant ships treated water pirates so cruelly, which forced water pirates to adopt another way to treat Qin's armed merchant ships.
"Come on, brothers, let me take back the boss's body." Qin's armed merchant ships hanged a large number of water pirates from Chu State, causing the remnants of the water pirates to take crazy revenge actions against Qin State, but this revenge action is meaningless
"These damn water pirates dare to fight us in their small broken wooden boats. This is simply a joke." A captain of Qin State's armed merchant ship clearly saw the water pirates of Chu State struggling to paddle their wooden paddles with binoculars. Row towards Qin's armed merchant ship
"Order the machine guns to prepare the crew and prepare various rifles to shoot at them," the captain ordered impatiently.
"Huh" a shell whistling sound
A "boom" sound exploded among the boats of the Chu pirates. Although it didn't sink a Chu boat, the explosion was enough to make some pirates weigh the power of Qin's light artillery. Qin's armed merchant ships were later models. Some light cannons were added to it. The use of these light cannons made Qin's armed merchant ships even more powerful.
"Damn Endeavor" the Qin captain shouted loudly
The armed merchant ships that were launched before the Qin State did not have a name for any merchant ship, and their ships were named only by the captain's name. However, as the armed merchant fleet of the Qin State became larger and larger, and the formation itself needed a fixed code name for communication, so later on. The armed merchant ships launched into the water began to have names, but at the beginning, they used A, B, C, D or some rare characters as the names of the ships, but because these rare characters were difficult to read, the names began to be simplified and easy to understand.
For example, the names of Qin State's armed merchant ships in this formation are all kinds of strange
Various strange names such as "War", "Girls", "Chop Suey", and "Trigger" all appeared on the names of Qin's armed merchant ships.
"Tut, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug" came the sound of machine guns, and an armed merchant ship from Qin State opened fire first, and the muzzle of the machine gun fired a long tongue of flame.
Along with the tongue of flame, there are dense bullets
"Huhu" the bullets roared
"Ah whoosh"
The "bang bang" bullet hit the ship of Chu State, making the sound of crackling and shattering the wooden board. The bullet directly hit the wooden boat, breaking it into pieces, and then the bullet hit the water pirate. The water pirate made a wailing sound.
Soon a part of the Yangtze River was dyed red
"Keep shooting, don't let them escape, shoot me!" Qin Guo's captain shouted loudly, and Qin's machine gunner quickly turned the muzzle of the machine gun and pointed the flames at the pirates who saw the situation was not going well.
"Ah woo woo woo!" The bullet hit some water pirates. The thick .[-] bullet directly knocked off part of the opponent's body, and the pieces of meat fell all over the boat. Some pieces of meat fell into the water, and slowly dyed the Yangtze River red.
There is no explanation for this picture of combating water piracy. Qin's armed merchant ships are generally equipped with fast-firing machine guns. These machine guns are all large-caliber . Its wooden hull smashed those water pirates of flesh and blood, and it would also be full of holes under the crazy strafing of machine guns. There is nothing to say about this kind of one-sided war.
It can be said that only those water pirates suffered a lot of losses, not only in personnel but also in their strength. A large number of weapons were lost and personnel were lost. At the same time, the fighting will of the water pirates became more and more depressed. Some people began to secretly leave the water pirate organization and turn to Officially became a normal person
Qin's brutal crackdown on the high-pressure situation is playing an important role. The water pirates are facing unprecedented challenges. They need to find another way to survive.
Just as the water pirates were frequently attacked by Qin's armed merchant ships and they suffered heavy losses, the Qi army was not idle. The general who launched the attack in a hurry last time reported what he had encountered to the people above them. The senior general of the Qi State frowned a little after listening to the general's report.
Senior generals are concerned not only with war issues, but also with some situational issues, especially political trends.
"The Qin State has about 500 to [-] troops stationed here, what does this mean? Could it be that Qin State wants to interfere with us?" the senior general of Qi State thought
"It's not like that, if so, I should have received the domestic battle report." The senior general of Qi State thought that when the senior general of Qi State was thinking, the Qi army had already launched an action
Since 1000 people from the Qi State launched an outpost last time, they actively surrounded the Qin Army Airport, and now the Qi Army is encircling it again. The Qi Army has an extremely annoying experience with Qin State aircraft. Sometimes the attack will drop bombs, and sometimes it will use machine guns to shoot wildly. Many people died because of the constant harassment of Qin's planes, so the Qi army has a terrible attitude towards the plane. Now the Qi army suddenly discovered the plane. As long as the airport wins this airport, they can use the plane to relieve their hatred. Thinking of this, the Qi army's fighting will is still very high.
