"As these nobles participated in the robbery, there were also some vagrants who also participated in it. These people include Koreans, Qi people, Zhao people, Yan people, and Chu people. They are all people who cannot survive. They have no choice but to participate."
"The good ones will ask for tolls, and the bad ones will rob everyone's belongings, but these professional thieves rarely rob all at once because they know that businessmen are not easy."
"For this reason, some businessmen open up human relationships, and they take the initiative to give some property in order to obtain the safety of their own property."
"These are civilian tax collectors and official tax collectors. These tax collectors are Korean government officials, military and police officers, various law enforcement officers on roads, and these personnel openly ask for tolls. These fees are more than the taxes paid by Qin State. "
"Businessmen are always reluctant to pay their taxes because these officials always set up machine guns at the main roads to demand tolls"
"But the real threat to businessmen, especially arms dealers, comes from the Mohists"
"We didn't see how the Mohists killed people, but they always attacked those arms dealers. They kept killing security guards or arms dealers along the way. Their purpose was to destroy their arms trade. This is really unwise."
"However, judging from the Mohist's political views, I think what they did is the most important thing. Their practice has reached the bottom line of the law. Homicide is a felony. They are using criminal methods to create more serious social violence. This practice and threat To the safety of businessmen"
This report describes everything that happened on that commercial road in a realistic way, especially for the disadvantages of Korean politics, and proposes a series of rectification targets.
These objects include vicious competition, businessmen, road bandits, bullies, lawless officials, and Mohist radicals. This is a later vocabulary that specifically distinguishes Mohist factions
"Hmph, these people are simply rebels," Han Shu angrily threw away the newspaper and cursed loudly
"Your Majesty, calm down," Zhang Liang persuaded
"Hmph" Han Shu snorted unwillingly.
But Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward to put forward his own views.
"The most urgent thing is to eliminate the negative impact of the report. You must know that this newspaper is known to everyone in the world today. This is to put the matter in front of the whole world. Korea has just started to develop business activities. If the media reports negative news, it will be very serious for us in Korea. It's a big disadvantage." Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward and said
"That makes sense." Han Shu nodded in agreement with Zhang Liang's point of view
"Then the widow ordered the Korean newspaper to publish public opinion against the Qin newspaper?" Han Shu expressed her opinion
"Your Majesty's move is extremely unacceptable," Zhang Liang suggested.
"If the king does this, he will not admit that the incident really happened. The power of the public opinion media can affect the political situation of the state of Qin, so it is the same for us in Korea, and the newspapers of the state of Qin occupy the mainstream position. My Korean newspapers cannot have the newspapers of the state of Qin at all. Great influence, if South Korea doesn’t recognize it, then the newspapers of Qin State will immediately report it and load it. This will be extremely detrimental to our future situation in South Korea.” Han Shu nodded in approval, and she also thought it was a bit unacceptable.
"That's what you mean," Han Shu asked
"What I mean is that it is better to state everything truthfully and sincerely," Zhang Liang said.
Then the South Korean government issued a life statement overnight. South Korea admitted that the facts stated in the newspaper were not false, and admitted its mistakes to all the victims and those related to it, and announced that life needs to strengthen rectification. The first measure of rectification is to publish the blacklist of South Korea's rectification.
This blacklist includes vicious competition, businessmen, road bandits, bullies, lawless officials, and Mohists. The appearance of Mohism is no accident because some of his ideas are too radical, and taking this opportunity to blacklist Mohism is also the intention of Han Shu, Zhang Liang, Han Fei, and others.
722 sword into gun
During the Warring States Period, countries had different attitudes toward Mohism, but the nature was the same. Squeezing value. For South Korea, increasing commercial activities was one of the main ways to increase fiscal revenue, and arms trade was the most lucrative form of this trade. one of the business
But the Mohists are opposed to this endless arms trade, especially the South Korean trade in the middle of an important link. For a period of time, the Mohists have blocked this endless arms trade in an excessively violent way that exceeds the bottom line of the law, which has already involved the arms of the Qin State. businessmen as their shares fell three points on the report and hurt korean businessmen who made their fortunes in the arms trade
The Qin government and the Korean government are changing their functions from the original specialized management government to a market service government. The difference between them is that the government has active guidance and is now actively serving the government. The market and the government become a part of the market and a service institution
When harming the interests of the merchants who are the main body of commercial activities, the government is obliged to ensure that the interests of the merchants are not violated in order to maintain their own financial revenue. Only in this way can the merchants pay more taxes. Seriously interfere with the development of commercial activities
But now the government's attention is not all on Mohism, but mainly on rectifying the internal management of officials. This problem must be properly resolved. This is what Zhang Liang is aware of.
The power of the national government has not yet realized the reason for the existence of this unorganized force. In the Warring States Period, there were many chivalrous men. These chivalrous men only pursued the value they thought they recognized. This value has no standard but is based on what people see. a virtue exists
In the Warring States Period, there were many such righteous men, just like all kinds of chivalrous men in later life. They obeyed what they believed to be morality, and people attached great importance to this kind of morality, such as the faith between friends and the righteous way of the world, etc. These things are illusory and uncertain. On the contrary, the value of the laws of a country is to stipulate tangible provisions. Such provisions are established in a credit system guaranteed by a country. Personal faith and righteousness in the world have standards, but people always value personal morality and their views habitually. There are always so many strange things, so there are all kinds of knights
But now the society is different, especially the well-developed commercial activities no longer allow this kind of faith without a solid material foundation to appear. A legal existence based on a public reputation platform requires that such a system of faith cannot exist. Society is a community and exists. It's not a single individual's private existence. Under such a request, chivalrous men, especially Mohist moral chivalrous men who take themselves as the standard, should be severely punished.
However, idle miscellaneous is not the time to attack this kind of knights, because the appearance of muskets is testing the living environment of knights
"Bang" sounded a crisp gunshot, and a swordsman fell tragically, while the ordinary man holding a pistol was blowing the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle gracefully.
"I'm looking for death. Whenever a broken sword can scare people, I want this now." The ordinary person was a local well-known rogue, and the rogue was severely taught by the soldier who killed him. Three fingers on the left hand were cut off, but the appearance of gunpowder weapons changed this balance of power. Relying on the chemical energy generated by gunpowder to push the bullets forward at high speed, no soldier can effectively and quickly avoid the sudden attack of rogues by relying on sneak attacks. succeeded
This scene took place in the northern part of Yan State, that is, the area north of Yanshan Mountain, but it also shows the fact that the swords in the hands of knights are no longer comparable to the guns in the hands of ordinary people. Traditional swordsmen began to be attacked by muskets, while some swordsmen were Bravely abandoned the sword in their hands, they began to take the initiative to accept this new weapon, and one of them was Jing Ke.
"What is this?" Jing Ke asked at a small stall selling arms and guns in the northern market of Yan State
"This is a good thing. Now everyone buys this self-defense thing. This thing is hundreds of times faster than the sword of the soldiers. Let's put it this way, have you ever seen lightning? This thing is even more like lightning." The merchant introduced excitedly because Jing Ke was dressed very well The ones from other places are the ones that have never been seen before, and the merchant saw Jing Ke’s exposed gold, which is a good thing, so he thought he could trick Jing Ke into buying muskets and weapons.
"Oh, can it really be faster than lightning?" Jing Ke asked
"That's it, if you don't believe me, come and have a try." The vendor began to pick up a .[-] revolver made in Qin State
"Look," said the trader, breaking the hammer and pulling the trigger
There was a "bang" shot and the people around didn't even look at it because they were used to the salesmanship of this arms dealer. Testing a gun is the highest salesmanship
"It's fast enough," Jing Ke said in surprise.
"I want this." Jing Ke threw out the gold in his arms
"Is there anything better than this?" Jing Ke asked
"Yes, like this," the vendor immediately took out a long gun and said
"Oh" Jing Ke nodded and saw
"This is Qin's latest rifle with a rotating rear-loading action," said the vendor as he demonstrated it.
"The design of the magazine can load five rounds in an extreme time." The dealer said, pulling the trigger to eject the bullets.
"Using Qin's latest pointed bomb, the speed of the Qin people is more than twice that of the sound," said the vendor.
"What's more than twice as loud?" Jing Ke asked
"That's how to put it, you can fly as far as [-] steps in the blink of an eye." The merchant introduced that there are currently two kinds of bullets manufactured in Qin State. One is a pointed bullet that pursues speed and accuracy. No one knows the specific performance of the newly developed bullet, but the only thing that is certain is that the range of this bullet is greatly improved when used on a machine gun, and the killing effect increases with the increase of different bullet diameters. This specific data is currently being studied. Among them, this is related to the penetration speed of the bullet and the rolling effect of the bullet after hitting the **
The other is the more common round-nosed bullet, which is mainly reflected in the lethality. The round-nosed bullet has a good rolling effect, especially the huge wound area, which can knock down the opponent at one time. This bullet is mainly used in the valve. Rifles, especially on the battlefields of the Western Regions, this type of bullet can achieve a one-shot killing effect at close range. Many soldiers in the Western Regions are willing to use this type of bullet.
The two types of bullets have their own advantages, but history has proved that pointed bullets have great advantages, especially in terms of range and speed of fire. The trauma effect has a lot to do with the caliber of rifle bullets.
"Well, I want this one too." Jing Ke picked up his rifle and pistol, took a lot of bullets and left, and the merchant got the gold he wanted the most. Both sides have their own ideas. Like Jing Ke, there are not a few people who buy guns curiously. Some swordsmen in Qi State started. The sword was made smaller and shorter, and it was made of special steel from the state of Qin, and the blacksmiths of the state of Qi discovered another process of quenching during the forging process. This process was soon used on the short sword, and the short sword also began Some special functions have been added, such as the size of the saw is getting smaller and smaller, but it is still larger than the saber in the current sense, but it tends to be close to the saber saber
But this kind of saber only existed as the second weapon of the swordsmen of the Qi State, and their first weapon turned out to be the 17-style pistol made by the Qin State. They began to hide the sword in their hands as the second weapon, and the pistol became their first weapon. These swordsmen were renamed as gunners, and they practiced their shooting skills hard, such as the speed of drawing their guns, the accuracy of shooting, etc.
Other archers and archers have eliminated the original long-range shooting cold weapons such as bows and crossbows, and instead used long rifles as their weapons. They can hit copper coins in the distance from [-] steps away. It is worth mentioning that they are not at all. There is no optical sight, and even Qin Guo just tied the telescope to the firearm as an early sniper rifle, but at this time it is not called a sniper rifle because the concept has not yet been formally proposed.
But it should be pointed out that swordsmen and sharpshooters in the traditional sense have begun to accept new weapons, such weapons are pistols and rifles represented by gunpowder and smokeless gunpowder, and this extends the new role of gunner
The gunmen come from two places. One is the traditional swordsman, they rely on this for food, and the other comes from the war, especially the war, which has trained a large number of excellent gunmen. These gunmen have more practical significance, especially the large amount of equipment of the Qi State Army. New long rifles were introduced, and these long rifles were given to the gunners who were the best at shooting in the combat unit. They were the early snipers. They were specially responsible for striking two types of targets.
The enemy's officers Yan, Zhao, South Korea, and Qin all have standard officer uniforms. Specialized combat uniforms have not yet appeared, which exposes the position of the officers from the side.
