After Qin’s chemical industry, especially the synthesis of ammonia, glass has become a common thing, which also enables people in Qi to use this kind of mirror and clean soap for washing clothes. After washing, there is still an orange smell, which is very popular among women in Qi. favorite things

Korean businessmen brought in the products of Qin state continuously and brought in the food of the Qi people. The Qi people could only buy these daily necessities by exchanging grain, not only grain but also a large number of other special products of Qi country.

Sea salt was originally the most in-demand product in all countries, but there are a large number of inland saltwater lakes in Qin State’s new occupation, which greatly satisfied Qin State’s demand for salt, especially the demand for industrial salt. Under the adjustment of the commodity futures market, Qin State’s edible salt The use of very good packaging bags developed in Bashu makes the use of edible salt more regular

The products of Qin State are unique, no other country can produce them, but the price of sea salt in this country has been greatly impacted, and the price of Qi State has exchanged salt for Qin State’s products. Exported and the price was even lower, which suddenly destroyed the original order. Qiren's sea salt began to look bleak.

Not only are such a large number of commodities flooding Qi, but Qi’s dependence on Qin’s products is getting higher and higher, and even paper has to be imported from Qin, which directly leads to a huge trade imbalance.

The gold of the nobles was lost to the hands of the Koreans, and then flowed into the pockets of the Qin people. Not only the gold, but also a large amount of grain was taken away. These grains were exchanged for some daily necessities, but the grains could not be planted. After the nobles lost their gold, In order to exchange for food, start to plant some economic crops, hemp apple trees, and herd sheep. These things can be exchanged for gold.

This directly led to farmers losing their land and the land began to merge, and the farmers who lost their land were full of resentment

In terms of taxation, the price of goods in Qin State is low because it is made by machines, so the price is very low, but it makes it impossible for other merchants to compete with them. Local merchants do not have this advantage. Qi State's commercial taxation is very equal. Qi people pay as much as foreigners pay. The advantages are all on the side of Qin's products

However, Qi State fought a large amount of imported arms, which cost a lot and gradually increased taxes, which became a disaster for Qi State businessmen. Qi State's economy began to be impacted by Qin State's cheap goods. Heavy

However, the literati class in Qi State has some complaints about Qin State. Qin State’s factories use female workers, women’s independent consciousness has begun to strengthen, especially Qin State employs a large number of women as state officials, and many office workers are women. This is not new in Qin State. of companies already have a significant percentage of women present

But this is contrary to Confucianism. They began to attack the relationship between men and women in Qin state. It is extremely unfair to describe the barbarism and ignorance of Qin people. These are all from Qin's own newspapers

All kinds of dissatisfaction are brewing. Hostility towards Qin has sprouted. Anti-Qin forces have sprouted. They need an opportunity to attack Qin. The news of this poison gas attack has become the fuse of the anti-Qin movement. Time is accelerating. hate propaganda

The upper echelons of the Qin State thought everything was fine, and Shang Wen was very happy to discuss the plot of the Qin State dance drama with the Queen of Korea. The queen also invited the dance drama to be staged in South Korea. Afterwards, they also discussed other aspects of the Qin State, such as the issue of foreign students, bank loans, etc.

And folks also began to enter the literary and art circle, a large number of song and dance troupes began to be established, and theaters began to appear. People began to use their imagination to write scripts and rehearse plots. Qin people found an atmosphere of folk culture.

It is no longer serialized in newspapers, but published as a book for sale. The dances of the Chu people and various musical instruments play wonderful music for the Qin people. No more emptiness, no more numbness, people from the old Qin Dynasty, people from the new Qin Dynasty, under the influence of culture, love life and enjoy life

But the royal music still retains the tradition, but they are preserved in the form of records and scores to cultivate talents. Although the purpose of the Qin Royal Music Academy was established to compete with the folk, it put art on the right track.

And the artistic characteristics of the Qin State also began to emerge. People pay more attention to the human spirit and the value of people. People began to become a theme.

582 Report from intelligence system

".

Although Qin's intelligence system has set up a special secret department, the ability to collect intelligence has declined a lot. The main reason is that there are more intelligence, a large amount of economic intelligence and information processing. It's very tricky, especially economic intelligence, which makes Qin people who are used to collecting military, diplomatic, political, and some economic intelligence a headache.

Qin's military operations against the Kanto have basically stopped, and it is precisely because of the basic stop that the responsibility of the intelligence system is very heavy, especially the collection, analysis and arrangement of economic intelligence, so that the intelligence personnel can't figure it out, and they don't even know the rules of business conduct. very difficult

Coupled with the rapid economic development of Qin State, commercial activities are becoming more and more frequent, and the amount of information generated is expanding.

For example, Qin State wants to collect the economic data of South Korea, its transportation capacity, road conditions, and Zhao State’s coal mines and iron. These are usually the same to the intelligence personnel, especially coal, but in fact they made a mistake. They only found out when they inadvertently asked. There are as many as ten types of coal. The coal produced by Zhao Yunzhong and Daidi is the best, while the coal in the north of Qin State will release a lot of sulfur-containing substances when it is directly burned. It is this difference that makes Qin State’s demand for Zhao State’s coal soar.

The intelligence personnel did not think of such a big difference between coal and coal. In fact, this also shows that Qin's intelligence system needs to be innovated on a large scale, especially in terms of technology. Professional technicians must provide reliable technology. Support and then interpret, and these professionals are prioritized for commercial use. The problem is that the funds for the financial intelligence system are not enough to support technical support

Not only the technology, but also the expansion of personnel and the system of the intelligence network. If Qin’s spy network would not have expanded so much in the past, they would have expanded in the main cities of a country at most, and they would never have extended very much.

But this time it is different. With the rapid economic development, especially the establishment of new traffic, a large number of small towns and small cities that should not appear have appeared in some road forks and hubs. These cities communicate quickly with people and update a lot of information. It can be said that A waiter knows more than what the newspapers report, and there are many, many strange things that are constantly appearing to stimulate people's nerves

In order to expand the area from a few to over a hundred, it is necessary to send manpower to these areas because each of these areas has its own characteristics. There are more small towns in Yan State than Qin Yan trade related to Zhao State and more coal mines. These areas must have an intelligence system.

Not only the region, but also a large amount of information. The information is updated very quickly, and often the details of an event exist. Only by calculating and expanding from the details can we understand the increased pressure of intelligence interpretation.

All of the above reasons caused Qin's intelligence to enter a paralyzed state in the process of self-development. This paralyzed state made Qin automatically ignore Yan's actions. This is why Qin's intelligence system did not respond after Yan possessed chemical poisonous gas. In the final analysis, the reason is that the development is too fast, many things are constantly intertwined and changed in the active and passive, and the intelligence system is much slower. This is a huge gap in thinking and understanding.

This situation is changing now. Feng Jie has taken up the position of leader of Qin State's intelligence system organization in Yan State. He looked through all the information and found that it was very messy and irrational.

Feng Jie not only thought that he was a new soldier, he also accepted a relatively systematic university life. He studied some physical chemistry and primitive philosophy. Perhaps because of his extensive study, he also dabbled in biomedicine, especially news collection, which made him more academically Not good at anything, he didn't make a name for himself, but it's the kind of person who knows everything that the intelligence system needs the most.

Feng Jie visited all the intelligence points set up by Qin State and found that the degree of chaos was worse than he imagined. After that, he put forward his own opinion. Having studied mathematics, he began to classify according to his own ideas.

Set up intelligence stations in each major city of Yan State, starting from the center of the station to draw an area to collect information Initially established

In terms of detail handling, he changed the professional practice of Qin State, and used Qin State merchants as cover, mobile merchants and fixed hotels became the main source of intelligence, which not only provided cover, but also some economic sources, which made the intelligence network develop rapidly. People go to the intelligence station to absorb a large number of local idlers. These people mostly talk about curious things, which inadvertently lightens the burden on Qin's intelligence collection. Strange things have a lot to say.

During the reporting, the sites have to summarize and communicate with each other in a single line, so the level of secrecy has suddenly increased

A piece of information was identified in a report of local talks

This caught Feng Jie's attention. You must know that steel was an extremely important strategic resource during this period. It could be used to manufacture a large number of weapons, and it was also a gas cylinder. This steel is a special steel compared to ordinary steel, which made Feng Jie faint. joe has a problem

After a lot of processing and subsequent disposal, the use of the cylinders began to emerge. A Royal Guard saw the cylinders when he was ordered to dispose of some bodies.

Why did two irrelevant things appear in the corpse gas cylinder at the same time? The contents of the gas cylinder are the key. Subsequent investigations gave Feng Jie an idea. Chlorine gas is a deadly poisonous gas.

Synthesized the report on the frontline status of Yan State, Feng Jie boldly wrote a speculative report, Yan State will use chemical poison gas again, please Qin State to pay close attention

In order to have solid evidence, Feng Jie began to order people to collect relevant information, especially the situation on the battlefield. At the same time, he also asked Qin to pay attention to the control of chemical poison gas, because there must be a reason for the loss of this thing. Is it really a wise move?

With a little background in chemistry, Feng Jie proposed the idea of ​​chemical poison gas warfare for the first time and asked the Qin government to revise the definition of weapons and expand the concept of weapons, because many civilian things and weapons have only one purpose.

583 Air Combat Confrontation

The war is still going on, but this time the place of the battle is changed to the sky

The ground war between Qi and Yan has entered a state of endless death, and it is difficult for both sides to make a breakthrough. At this time, airships and hot air balloons appeared in the sky. The people of Qi imaginatively placed the breakthrough point in the sky, and they wanted to surprise attacking Yan army

It can be said that the Qi Air Force has spent a lot of thought. They quickly realized the lack of hot air balloons. They have no power and can only rely on natural wind for random floating operations. This suddenly makes hot air balloons look useless.

But a turning point appeared. A craftsman suggested why not slide the hot air balloon like a boat. As soon as this idea was proposed, it was quickly implemented. They used enlarged large paddles to conduct experiments. Although the speed was not satisfactory, it achieved the desired purpose and was full of people. Using their imagination, they installed two small sails on the hot air balloon, so that the hot air balloon initially had a certain degree of maneuverability, but at this time the awareness of air supremacy had not yet been realized, but Qin Jun had a certain awareness.

The airships of the Qin army have no aerial bombs, and their bombs will take a few days to arrive, and they need to conduct target determination. The target is a village camp behind the enemy's rear.

An airship entered the rear of the Qi army at an altitude of [-] steps. The Qin army pilots leisurely took pictures of the ground, while the Qi army on the ground stood up and shouted loudly.

"Come down to Grandpa!" Qi soldiers shouted loudly

The Qin Army's reconnaissance activities are becoming more and more frequent. The officers have already guessed that the Qin Army is likely to bomb the rear. This fear of insecurity in the sky prompted the Qi Air Force to take off to fight.

The airship is still very leisurely, and the pilots all wave their hands. They respond to each other in this way. At this moment, a pilot shouted loudly.

"There are three hot air balloons on the lower left!" The pilot shouted to everyone to check the situation

The Qi Air Force has only five hot air balloons, which are arranged in the places where the Qin Army often haunts. At the same time, a large number of personnel are also sent on the ground to observe and then notify them to take off for combat.

There are three people to control the hot air balloon. The weapons are long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, and the Qin army did not carry any weapons because of the bombing.

"Let's go up, let's attack them from above, hurry up and get close to them!" the Qi pilot shouted loudly, and the three hot air balloons slowly rose up and approached.

"What are we going to do? They're flying towards us!" the pilot yelled. This was the first air combat encounter.

"What to do to shoot them down" the pilot gives an order Usually the captain of the airship is in charge of the specific flight mission of the airship

"We don't have weapons," said the co-pilot

"Smash us with a wrench and a screwdriver and fly to a higher position for combat," the airship captain issued an order
