And another target is the local machine gunners, especially the machine gunners in the bunker. They can use rifles to accurately shoot those machine gunners, which can save a lot of precious lives and explosives.

723 Qin State’s Concession Plan

Due to the relationship between science and technology, many things are changing, not only weapons, but also people's living habits are changing

For example, in the relatively developed Guanzhong Xianyang area of ​​Qin State, Qin State has established a complete tap water and sewage pipeline system in Xianyang, and people no longer need to dig wells for water and pour used waste water into the sewer

There are not only perfect water supply and sewage systems, but also a complete heating and heating system for every household in Qin State. Even in winter, people in Qin State can take a bath every day to keep them clean and tidy.

With the emergence of ceramic technology, especially a kind of glazing technology, Qin State can not only manufacture high-quality porcelain tiles, but also another cleaning product. The technology of bathtub drilling and manufacturing pipe materials gives Qin State a foundation to apply it to bath products.

According to the survey, every household in Guanzhong of Qin State, especially in Xianyang, can already meet the requirement of taking a bath every day.

For this reason, South Korea is also actively establishing Xinzheng's tap water system and a relatively complete urban sewage drainage system. The urban sewage is automatically released without being treated.

Bathing is only a small part of life. People's entertainment activities have also become more diverse. In the past, people did nothing after dark, but now the large-scale popularization of electric lights has enriched people's night life.

The traditional system of curfew has been abolished in Xianyang of the Qin State, but the law and order at night has been greatly strengthened. The number of new-style police in Xianyang alone exceeds 1. This figure is still not enough for Xianyang, which has a population of more than one million, especially in the old city. The security situation in Xianyang Palace is still not enough

Qin State’s nighttime public security, especially Xianyang’s public security situation, really needs to increase the proportion of investment. Qin State’s night life, especially alcohol consumption, is quite large, which also causes frequent security incidents caused by drunkenness. Therefore, Qin State has specially set up a public telephone hall. There is no need to pay for the phone call. The phone number is 123. Just quickly dial the first row of numbers to call the police in time, and the police center will uniformly arrange personnel to dispatch immediately.

Qin’s new-style police are equipped with complete police equipment. Xianyang has more than 120 police vehicles, among which 50 years of uninterrupted patrols have been maintained. In addition, there is also a mounted police force with more than 500 people. They are specially used to deal with special situations. Xianyang is already close to modern urban management, although some infrastructure is not in place, but it is already very good

Qin people can drink and watch singing and dancing performances at night, and they can also participate in some small gambling games. Qin issued a legal document that specifically stipulates gambling. The legal document stipulates that the amount of gambling in Xianyang, Qin cannot exceed one gold. There will be one gold. Specialized police officers check the number of chips on the spot, and there can be no more than one gold chip. Violators not only cancel their business qualifications, but also issue a huge fine of more than [-] gold.

The promulgation of this legal document not only considers people's entertainment requirements, but also explores the other side of gambling, which is addictive and leads to bankruptcy. In fact, the main consideration is that people in Qin should not forget that work is the most important thing.

In addition to gambling, there are also movies, but at this time the movie time is only short. The movie is usually only half an hour and it is short, there is no sound, the color is only black and white. The people watching are mainly young people and people are more gathered in singing and dancing venues

The habits of Qin people have undergone many major changes compared to before. This change has made Qin Xianyang the most civilized gathering place in the Warring States Period, and another gathering place is also rapidly forming. This gathering place is Xinzheng in South Korea. The country's advantageous geographical location, especially the developed transportation, is developing rapidly.

Xinzheng has not only the power plant, the steam engine, but also the power equipment and its system that has just been laid. The factory uses steam engines and electric motors as power drives, but the industrial products processed in Korea are still light industrial products. These light industrial products are sold in large quantities to Qi and Chu or to other countries. Qin State Commercial and Trading Co., Ltd. conducts large orders for manufacturing, and there is another huge source of orders, which is the State of Chu.

Merchants from the state of Chu came to Xinzheng, Luoyang and Xianyang along the northern passage opened by the people of Qin. They came to Wan in horse-drawn carriages or motor vehicles loaded with goods, and then changed from Wan to train to Xinzheng, Luoyang and Xianyang, where they carried out large-scale orders and wholesale business. Activity

With the increasing frequency of commercial activities, especially the import and export issues between countries, the most important thing is the favorable Yangtze River waterway system in the south. The ship load capacity of Qin State is larger than that of Chu State merchant ships. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry of Chu State has also begun to develop rapidly. Developed throughout October, the number of ships launched in Chu State has more than doubled that of the past. More and more ships are launched, which overwhelms the port and wharf facilities of Chu State. These shallow water areas have a greater impact on flat-bottomed ships. These shallow water areas can cause serious grounding to Qin's ships. Qin's merchant ships simply cannot dock at these ports.

The ships of the Qin State can only anchor in the center of the Yangtze River or near the shore, and then use small boats to complete the unloading of the goods, but such an approach is too detrimental to the commercial activities of the Qin State.

These small boats take advantage of the local local snake atmosphere and ask for very high prices. Such asking prices suddenly push up the logistics of Qin's goods. If there are no Chu merchants in the local area, Qin merchants can pass on this logistics cost, but in fact, as long as there is one, they can dock in Qin. There are usually merchants from the Chu state where there are ships from the state of Chu

On the contrary, because of port and logistical supply problems, armed merchant ships of the Qin State are all driven by steam engines, which requires a large amount of coal to supply, but the State of Chu does not provide coal at all. If wood is used, it will aggravate the damage to the boiler equipment, especially the soot will clog the chimney and lower the equipment. lifespan, so Qin merchant ships must need coal to provide

In desperation, Qin could only arrange for a few specialized armed merchant ships to be loaded with coal to supply the entire armed merchant fleet for round-trip commercial activities. Not only that, Chu officials deliberately made things difficult for Qin's ships, especially in terms of taxation. It is very unreasonable for Qin ships to levy more than 60.00% of the tax

The war between Qin State and Chu State has just ended. Not long after, the two sides have barely ceased fire, and commercial activities, especially political exchanges involving commercial activities, have not yet begun.

Issues such as taxation and port logistics support were promptly launched by the Qin government. In fact, it is not the Qin government’s fault, that is, Shang Wen’s approach. Shang Wen’s cabinet transportation department had already actively sought support from the Chu state as early as the beginning of commercial activities.

In particular, Qin State sent special personnel, but these personnel are still doing another thing, which is laying the telegraph line between Xianyang of Qin State and Shouyang of Chu State.

At the same time, Qin State also sent special diplomats to coordinate special commercial activities. This coordination is Qin State’s usual trick to set up the Qin State Concession in Chu State.

Qin State’s establishment of a concession area does have great benefits. For example, the concession area established by Zhao State and Yan State in South Korea was obtained by Qin State with certain materials, money or other diplomatic means.

Yan State has adopted a certain amount of military material aid, Zhao State is a commercial contract, diplomatic and military assistance to South Korea is a treaty, and at the same time, other concessions added by Qin State have begun to set up concessions with certain technology exports.

After the establishment of the concession, the state of Qin is equivalent to having its own management rights in the local area, or these countries, but the management power is the state of Qin. Qin people set up a large number of office and trading companies here and actively carry out commercial activities. The same management, and the parliament provides independent management, which is equivalent to Qin State having its own commercial base. The logistics system of commercial activities is built on this kind of concession.

However, Chu State and Qin State do not have such a commercial base. On the contrary, Qin State lacks such a commercial logistics system the most. Therefore, the most important mission of the diplomats sent by Qin State is to establish its own concession areas. These concession areas are mainly established in areas along the Yangtze River. It is some good deep-water ports, and Qin State built some special wharf facilities there

The cement-faced wharf berths at the port, large-scale lifting equipment and specialized storage equipment, etc. In addition, there is also a certain area for Qin businessmen to use for office in order to start their business

Qin State’s plan is good, but the problem is that the people of Chu State don’t know whether to accept it or not. Now they don’t even know the attitude of Chu State people. This makes Qin State feel a little uneasy, so in the plan, Qin State proposed a comparison** The revolutionary solution is that the taxation of the five treaty ports in the Qin Concession is managed by the Qin State itself, but the Qin State provides the commercial rent of about [-] gold per year to the State of Chu.

The [-] gold includes [-] gold in real gold and silver, and the rest is settled in Qin's half-liang currency or converted in other real objects. This is quite good for Chu, and the places Qin chose are all blank undeveloped areas.

724 Borrowing Soldiers

".

Qin State's plan is good, but it is not known whether Chu State will accept it or not, because everything needs to be established in terms of transportation. Qin State must first send diplomats to negotiate, and then the telegraph line can be erected from Qin State's current border. It will take time to get to Shouyang in the state of Chu. At present, the state of Qin can only wait and has no other way.

"Soldiers of Zhao Jun get off at platform No. [-]. Soldiers of Zhao Jun get off at platform No. [-]." A group of radio broadcasts loudly broadcasted at Xianyang Railway Station in Qin State, and a group of soldiers of Zhao Jun with backpacks and rifles came from the train carriage. walk down

"Where are we going back to Zhao country? Are we really going home?" A small soldier kept asking the old soldier next to him

And the veterans don't say a word

And Li Zuoche, who was arranging for the soldiers to get off the car, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard it

He also got the news from the staff of the regiment headquarters. As for the specific situation, why didn't he know anything? After all, at this time, Li Zuoche was only a junior officer, and his military rank had risen quite quickly compared to his classmates. The classmates are still lieutenants and he is already a captain. Due to the lack of commanders, the regiment headquarters is currently considering giving him command of a battalion.

Li Zuoche originally commanded an elite airborne force, but the top management of the Zhao army may have decided to expand this elite airborne company into an elite infantry battalion based on the fact that Zhao State did not have airships. The head of the infantry battalion is Li Zuoche. Zhao Guo plans to consider deploying a machine gun company, an infantry artillery company, and two infantry companies. The infantry company is equipped with a machine gun platoon and two rifle platoons. One infantry company is also equipped with a mortar company. Zhao Guo's establishment is quite large. The number of people in this battalion is around 800. Handing over such a combat unit to Li Zuoche is also a test for him.

There is no need to worry about Zhao’s weapons and equipment, because Qin’s arsenal has already begun to transfer weapons to Zhao’s Handan. The one who pays for them is Yan’s Crown Prince Dan. Prince Dan is a scheming man.

"Does our country of Yan still have any soldiers that can be deployed? No, we don't have any soldiers to call at all. Since we can't use them, we can borrow soldiers." Prince Dan said to his subordinates like this

Yan State is indeed in such a situation. His country has no reserve forces to call, so Prince Dan of Yan State came up with an excellent idea. This idea is to borrow troops.

Moreover, this borrowing of troops also has certain favorable diplomatic conditions. The condition is that Zhao Guo and Yan Guo once had some kind of troop treaty. First of all, a large number of troops were reduced, and then a large number of troops were sent abroad to fight abroad. More than half of the troops were sent to fight abroad. Zhao Guo was concerned about his country's security and did not implement this treaty in time. The actual situation is indeed the same.

Most of Zhao's troops are fighting outside. If the country deploys more troops, it may be difficult to even defend the homeland.

It is also the existence of this treaty that made Prince Dan see hope, so Yan Guo’s special envoy and Prince Dan frequently contacted Zhao Guo’s preparations for the prime minister. But this reserve prime minister is Guo Kai Guo Kai was successfully elected as the first prime minister of Zhao

Before the formal appointment, Guo Kai had already started some work, these works were mainly diplomatic and military aspects. Guo Kai generously proposed to appoint Li Mu as the chief of the general staff of the Zhao State General Staff Department, worshiped the General Zhao Guo, and also grandly followed Qin* *The rank system proposes that the king of Zhao appoint him as a five-star general of the state of Zhao

Zhao Wang thinks this proposal is very good because some people in this election once suggested that the military should participate in politics. Now that the candidates have been selected, the military must be dissatisfied. Li Mu, the soul of the army, was thus appointed as a five-star general

Hearing this news, Li Mu had nothing to say. He had long wanted to set up a military staff organization in Zhao State similar to the Qin State General Staff Department, but suffered from power checks and balances. Then he clearly realized that this was impossible because it was a means of appeasement, Zhao Guo still did not have part of the military power in the hands of the general staff.

As for the affairs of Zhao’s General Staff Department, it was a struggle between military officers and civilian officials of the Zhao army. As for diplomacy, Guo Kai believed that he should intentionally make friends with Qin. More taxes Guo Kai is very explicit about this

Qin’s bankers kept talking to Guo Kai about that, and they also continued to provide some loans to invest in Zhao’s projects. Those projects are all high-return projects, such as some infrastructure projects. Qin’s bankers told Guo Kai how to benefit from it. Guo happy to listen to these proposals to make money

However, all of these can only be done after Guo Kai came to power. At present, he does not have such power, but the telegram sent by the Yan State made him feel that he could appease the army and make a fortune, and at the same time bring huge benefits to the country. This is Yan State’s excuse. soldier request

In the beginning, the special envoy of Yan State and Prince Dan both sent congratulatory telegrams. When Guo Kai received the congratulatory telegram, Guo Kai was so happy that he cried. What does this mean? It means that all countries have recognized his existence, which makes Guo Kai very happy. happy

At the same time, Korean Prime Minister Han Fei and Qin Guo Prime Minister Shangwen Shangwen also sent congratulatory messages. They treated this matter with an official attitude, but this was enough to make the "elected" prime minister happy for a while.

Immediately, I was also happy that the content of the telegram sent by the special envoy of Yan State involved the competition of interests among the three kingdoms of Qin State.

"Our country hopes that Zhao Guo can fulfill the content of the treaty reached between General Zhao Guo Li Mu and our country," Yan Guo wrote in the telegram. It is very clear that this is asking Zhao Guo to send troops for free.

But Guo Kai knew that sending troops was a big deal and it was a business that would never make money.
