"Capital." Li Mu has never heard of this.

"That's right. Qin's reform this time is centered around this capital." Li Zuoche said.

"Why did the Qin State stop expanding the Kanto and instead attack the Xiongnu, Huren, and Yueshi? The reason is capital." Li Zuoche said.

"After they occupied these places crazily, they began to turn all these people into slaves. These slaves were all used to build roads. Then they went into the fields. We only saw the surface. But we didn't see that the hidden one is the most powerful That is the capital. Capital can be explained by money.” Li Zuoche said.

"That's what the paper I saw said."

"The State of Qin issued paper treasury bonds. Through this method, all the currencies of the State of Qin were obtained. Then, the State of Qin took advantage of the opportunity of the war to expand abroad. The received currency was sent out through the national debt. In this way, all the currencies were collected. Not only that, the Qin State changed another mode of war. They transferred all weapons and material transportation. What they paid was only cheap national debt. A piece of paper. Wait until the end of the war At that time, in order to control the newly occupied land, they sold the land to private individuals in the name of cashing the national debt. And the land was not sold in small pieces, but in hundreds of acres. What's more More than a thousand mu of land is for sale." Li Zuoche only told Li Mu a small part of Qin's reform that he understood.

Li Mu didn't speak.

"Not only externally but internally. They allow all the land to be merged. The land of more than a dozen acres suddenly merged into hundreds of acres of land. In this way, a large number of people entered the factory to work. That's why they produced so many Weapons. Materials. And those merged lands began to use slaves. They have powerful weapons as a support. They can firmly control these slaves. If these slaves are not obedient, they can be executed. And. It sounds very simple. Not only that, but the most important thing is the banking industry of Qin State. They issue banknotes, absorb a large amount of capital, and then release it centrally. In this way, all industries in Qin State have capital." Although Li Zuoche said it was not Very comprehensive. But Li Mu has that kind of military spatial imagination. What Li Zuoche said, Li Mu began to associate everything he saw and heard.

Li Mu nodded silently.

"It's not just capital. The education system of Qin State is also terrible. Their education is free. And... Qin State attaches great importance to this. This point..." Li Zuoche obviously intends to do business with Zhao State Compare.

Li Mu and his party have been delayed in Qin for nearly a month. But for Li Mu, this month is like looking at flowers in a fog. He can't see clearly. The same is true for Li Zuoche. But he has that kind of youthful vitality .He dared to accept what he hadn't seen.

Especially the military academy in Qin State. Although the military academy’s military regulations are very strict, the academics there seem to be very relaxed. There, for the first time, Li Mu received books representing capitalism, mainly "The Wealth of Nations" and enlightenment books. Originally, these books should not appear here. But because these books involve some military and economical content. Especially the goal of Qin's foreign war has changed. This makes many instructors have no typical textbooks to use. Just before Han Fei left Returned these manuscripts to Shang Wen. Shang Wen directly threw it to the military academy.

The military academy should imitate the construction map of Qin State University as a teaching material, and exist in the military academy as extracurricular auxiliary books. The printing industry of Qin State can not only print newspapers, but also print magazines and books. But professional books have not yet appeared. Mainly because there is no Qin Guo is currently committed to the field of technology and management. Especially the theoretical understanding of the subject is not very deep. Such books have not yet appeared.

But that's why. Books like this have become must-read books for every military cadet. Because they really lack too many reading materials. It is these reading materials that have begun to change the way these young officers think. Not only Young officers. Some mid-level staff officers feel the same way.

That's why some daring people wrote such articles. And Li Zuoche was just a restless person who saw such books and articles. The changes in Qin State deeply stimulated these people from the backward capital. They actively abandoned the original set of thinking and began to accept new thinking. And explore how to change the country's destiny.

Li Zuoche is such a representative. He is the same as him in the later generations. He also has excellent explanations in terms of strategy. But Li Mu fell into deeper thinking and reform.

541 Dig!

Reform is not easy. A large number of talented civil servants needed for reform are hard to find in Zhao's military atmosphere.

But Qin State is different from Qin State’s tradition of emphasizing civil officials

It's not just that among the civil servants of Zhao's family and the six countries, there is no decent figure who can support them. How can a general be in charge of civil servants? It's not that I don't know the situation in Zhao. The dislike and suspicion of Zhao Guo had a disgraceful night, that is, the mutiny and the control of the military power. It is this point. Don't look at the current harmony between the monarch and his ministers, but anyone can see the gap in the middle.

Li Mu is more realistic than Li Zuoche thinks. Li Zuoche is young and relies on a youthful energy to fight, but Li Mu is different. He bears the burden of Zhao Guo. This burden makes him think more realistically.

The six kingdoms of Kanto seem to have lost their general momentum. There is no lack of military generals in the six countries, at least Zhao is like this, but if there are generals, how can a general be able to defend against a blow from Qin, but can't defend against a blow from the back of the civil servants? These civil servants are sometimes stronger than generals. To be powerful, Bai Qi is not as good as Fan Sui's sharp mouth. The lack of civil servants cannot effectively make up for the country's strength. It is unrealistic to rely on generals alone.

On the other hand, the state of Qin has changed very quickly since it reused this young prime minister. It took only one year for such a big change to take place. Although the term of office is only four years, the changes in these four years are beyond Li Mu's imagination. In short, he lacks talent. The Civil Service is a mortal wound

Li Mu waved his hand helplessly to signal Li Zuoche to leave. These were not what Li Zuoche could think of.

Li Zuoche had no choice but to leave with fists in his arms. He didn't understand why his grandfather couldn't imitate Qin's reforms and make major adjustments in Zhao. Even South Korea began to actively follow Qin's reforms. Why Zhao couldn't do this? He couldn't understand.

Li Mu forgot all Li Zuoche's rhetoric and just kept the coal as an important specimen. After going back, mining coal will become the top priority.

But in the distant Qi State, a strange thing is happening

"Quickly dig, quickly dig" a Tian family member shouted back and forth

"What's the use of digging?" A farm boy asked impatiently

"What do you know? I'll tell you that my master asked you to dig, and you can dig it when Yangou comes." The servant said impatiently.

"Why dig a ditch and bury us here?" the peasant boy replied

"Bah bah what are you talking about?" an old man came over and spit and taught

"Kid keep your mouth clean and let you dig it, and you will know when you dig it," said the servant and left to inspect elsewhere

"Is it useful for grandpa to dig this ditch?" asked the farm boy

"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, just let you dig it." The old man waved his hoe to dig the pit, and the peasant boy was speechless, so he could only wave his hoe to join in. Fortunately, it didn't snow.

"My lord, can we dig a ditch like this to resist the Yan army's attack?" A doorman asked anxiously

"Don't you read the newspaper?" Tian Heng looked at the map and said

"That's how the Qin State prevented the Yuezhi cavalry from attacking. They relied on digging ditches to guard the front and laying barbed wire. People behind them hid in the ditch and shot. I think this should be enough to deal with the Yan army," Tian Heng said.

"My lord is wise," said the doorman in a compliment, and Tian Heng smiled at this.

"Master's ditch has almost been dug," a servant quickly ran over to report

Tian Heng didn't reply but picked up the binoculars to check

"It's not enough, it's not enough to let people continue to dig and dig back to form passages and connect them, and arrange barbed wire in front together, especially the ditches between the highlands are dug and connected," Tian Heng said.

"Here" the servant left

Tian Heng has a very good interest, that is, he loves to read newspapers. He not only likes to read, but also to delve into it. He cuts out what he doesn’t understand and collects it for research. He has studied all the news reports on the Qin Army’s fight against the Yuezhi, and the battle against the Qin Army. well researched

Now that he has seen the power of the Yan State cavalry, especially the maneuverability that suddenly appears and then disappears, he is very afraid, but it happens that he has studied how the Qin State infantry deals with the cavalry tactics.

The border between Qi State and Yan State is full of flat plains, which is very unfavorable for the defense of Qi State. This terrain is very conducive to cavalry combat. How * cavalry combat has become a core issue.

The appearance of the barbed wire made this kind of *cavalry combat possible. The barbed wire is like a wall, making it difficult for the cavalry to cross. They have to dismount. If the barbed wire is not enough, there must be trench barbed wire plus trench barbed wire*. The cavalry's charge reduces the cavalry's dependence on infantry The impact on the ground does not kill infantry, but infantry can rely on the cover of trenches to use weapons in their hands to kill cavalry under the obstruction of barbed wire

Not only that, the trenches also allow the infantry to effectively avoid the opponent's artillery attack. The Qi army is an army with backward equipment, which is not as large-scale as the Yan army, equipped with powerful artillery and muskets. Curling up in the trenches can effectively avoid shells. attack

The layout of the positions is not random. On the road leading to Linzi, Tian Heng selected a section of important small mounds to arrange and try to arrange the positions in these places, and the appearance of mounds on this flat plain is one of the few commanding heights in the plain. The commanding heights can be Effectively observe the mobilization of the enemy commanding your own army. The mobilization of troops entering trenches is different from that of standing on flat ground.

However, Tian Heng didn't think of one thing, that is, after the artillery unit appears, they tend to occupy the nearby commanding heights as much as possible, because the commanding heights are the best artillery shooting positions and observation points. Unfold the foreshadowing

Tian Heng hastened the deployment of manpower. He wants to connect the ditches on the highlands and the plains and gradually spread them out. The nearby people are constantly recruiting so that every household has a lot of labor to use when it is not the busy farming season.

Tian Heng also took out the grain and money from his own home and spread them out to actively recruit people to defend against the invading Yan army.

542 Big Rout!

It is undoubtedly correct for Tian Heng to choose to actively prepare for the war instead of supporting the battlefield three hundred miles away.

The defense of the Qi army was very hasty, because they did not expect that the Yan army would fight over, and Hou Sheng's attitude towards this matter was also very hesitant, because this matter was a big deal, and the opponent would fight to Linzi

Regarding this news, he concealed it from King Qi as much as he could, and did not mention it to the ministers. He thought that the big things were done well, but the bad news continued to come, especially the Yan army's equipment was excellent, and the Qi army could not resist it at all. After arriving here, Sheng felt that some necessary measures should be taken, so he ordered the mobilization of [-] troops to the northern border to resist the invasion of Yan.

He gave the order, but the army was mobilized secretly. These troops were assembled from various places, not the whole army. Only by doing so can the ministers not discover this trick. Housheng did a good job in the officialdom. But it's so bad on the battlefield

There are only a part of the troops mobilized from various places. They don’t have a unified commander. They don’t know who to listen to. They only know that they are going north. Although there are many troops, they can’t gather together and form a huge fist. of

The [-] troops are temporarily dispatched from all over the place. The distance between different places is different

At this time, Yan Jun came over aggressively.
