There was a rapid beeping sound.The army has become accustomed to the message of calling for gold to withdraw troops. No matter how the military system is changed, people's habits cannot be changed.The reserve team began to hold their ground and retreat slowly.Their formation remains intact.Sima Shang's cavalry could only wander around and fight, and could not cause a great impact on them.
Those Yan troops in a scattered formation became the targets of cavalry fighting.
A regiment of the Yan army withdrew.Zhao Jun was still fighting around.The Yan army's cavalry began to disengage from the battle, and they could not continue to fight.They are also unwilling to fight in such a chaotic way.Zhao Jun did not chase after him.The Yan army retreated.
463 Open Concession!
By the afternoon, the battle was basically over, the battlefield full of corpses, and the flying crows.The battlefield looked a little sad.
"General, I have followed your order. The cavalry attacked the escaped Yan army." Sima Shang came over and said.
"Did you tell them they can only use bows and arrows and not close combat?" Li Mu asked.
"I have already ordered it," Sima Shang said.
"This battle can no longer be fought." Li Mu said slowly.More than 4000 Yan troops were killed and captured, and more than 400 cavalry retreated. Except for a small number of officers who followed the remaining Yan troops to retreat, the Yan army's artillery was wiped out.But Zhao Jun also paid the loss of more than 3000 people killed in battle.The Yan army suffered large losses in terms of personnel and weapons and equipment.
The war has entered the age of firearms, and the loss of weapons and equipment is often one of the main factors for the great decline in strength.This time the Yan army may have been unable to advance again.When the strength of the Yan army was restored to the country, it had already been severely divided.To be able to invade the country of Zhao is already a rash advance.
Li Mu then submitted a form, asking King Zhao to accept Qin's proposal and end the war. In order to convince King Zhao, he also cited a large number of facts.In order to impress King Zhao.It will take some time for Yan Guo to hear the news, because King Yan is busy moving back to Yandu.
The news of the Battle of Lingshou has not yet given the parties a chance to react.
After the end of the Lingshou War, South Korea has intensified the issue of tax payment by ministers.For a long time, ministers did not have to pay taxes, and the heavy tax issues were all done by the bottom class.The ministers only enjoy the rights brought about by taxes.And Han Shu imitated the Qin State and wanted to treat all Korean people, including princes and ministers.Everyone must pay taxes.This is the first time in Korean history.This move will be of great historical progress.He will greatly cancel the great disadvantages brought to South Korea by the privileged class of South Korea.At the same time, it will also greatly improve the equality among the Korean people.Although Han Shu just followed suit.But imitating is progressing at the same time.
Princes and ministers have become accustomed to not paying taxes.At the same time, they also enjoy taxes.Today, the right to enjoyment is gone.Not only that, but also to pay taxes.They quit.Naturally objected.The ministers protested collectively, and even the clan also opposed it.
Han Shu only grasped the military power.He did not have some driving powers in the hands of princes and ministers.Moreover, Han Shu had just mutinied.This is when stability is desperately needed.The minister made such a fuss, which annoyed her very much.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable." An old minister fell to his knees in pain.And Han Shu cursed this old official to die early, and went to the palace to dissuade him even with his old bones.
Han Shuyin watched the minister's tricks with a sullen face.But there was nothing he could do. After all, Han Shu still needed these people for the time being, if they were all abolished.I am happy here.But the burden of the country.
"Your Majesty, this is Master Zhang's letter." An attendant walked up gently and handed Han Shu a memorial.
Han Shu took it and waved him back.The servant left gently.The ministers were making trouble in the hall like children spoiling.But Han Shu withdrew his mind and looked at Zhang Liang's memorial.
After watching, Han Shu smiled coldly.It was really embarrassing to see the ministers.Even the clan began to actively participate in it.
"Slap." Han Shuzhong slapped the table with his hands.Everyone was startled by the sudden sound.There are echoes of sound in the hall.
"Crying and making a fuss, what a shame!" Han Shu reprimanded sharply.
"Now is the time when the widow is in urgent need of money, but you are acting like a village woman. If the news spreads, the other countries must laugh at South Korea." Han Shu scolded loudly.The ministers were dumbfounded by the scolding, you look at me, I look at you.
"The tax must be paid to me. The widow can be extra merciful and show you a clear way." Han Shu said loudly.The ministers looked up and listened.
"The widow has promised Qin to open a concession in South Korea." As soon as Han Shunv finished speaking, the ministers began to discuss.Some old ministers even shouted out loudly because of their old age.
"Your Majesty, no, absolutely no."
"That's right, that tiger wolf Qin has long wanted to destroy Korea," the ministers said painfully.
"Crack." Han Shu slapped the table again.But the ministers continued to suffer as if they were used to it, and Han Shu continued to beat, her hands turned red.But ministers are still opposed.
"Wow." With a sound, Han Shunv pulled all the things on the desk down with her wide sleeves.Han Shu thinks this is not enough.He stood up and knocked the table to the ground with one kick.
"Crack." The table was placed upside down on the main hall.
"It's not over. The state of Qin pays the widow a certain amount of money, and you can also do business in the concession of the Qin state. As long as you are willing to do business, the widow will reduce half of your taxes." Han Shu said angrily.
"You can earn wealth and reduce taxes. Why not. Then the Prime Minister of Qin State has promised that the whole world will not send troops to attack Guandong. Don't you have eyes?" Han Shu yelled loudly.
"Qin doesn't send troops. The widowed South Korea is saved. But is South Korea rich?" Han Shu said loudly.
"The state of Qin is very different from before. All the production of the state of Qin relies on trade. Although South Korea is located in the land of the four wars, it also has the convenience of four links, why not use it."
"You are corrupt. The widow's decision has been made. Discuss this matter!" After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.The ministers knelt in place.After Han Shu left the hall, she began to scold the ministers.
"A bunch of old things. The widow's hands are swollen." Said Han Shu stretched out her right hand, and rushed to ask for the imperial physician.
After the ministers were scolded, they left with a sigh.Many people want to ask each other what they think.But everyone goes "Ugh." and walks away.They also didn't expect that the current king would lose such a temper. Before they had time to think about what was going on in the Qin Concession, they were locked down.
This plan is exactly what Zhang Liang thought.He had noticed a long time ago that the ministers of the state of Qin began to open factories and do business on their own initiative, and he investigated this situation in detail.It was learned that this was Shang Wen's proposal, and King Qin agreed.The ministers are also happy. Although they also pay taxes, they must have a stable source.As for being an official, I am bearish on the contrary.Some are officials purely for the sake of fulfilling their duties.Zhang Liang also agreed with the benefits of doing business, so he combined the concession with doing business.Certain taxes can be reduced or exempted, but the minister must go to do business.Only in this way can the dissatisfaction caused by the mutiny be diluted, and it is also the drawback of the Minister of Guidance on South Korea's New Deal.After Han Shu looked at it.Do it, regardless of the minister's mood, but they have to do it.Han Shunv made concessions, and they must also make certain concessions.Here are the rules.
464 Meeting of the Four Nations
July [-]th.On this day, most areas in Qin State were busy harvesting wheat and forage.
Due to the insufficient number of slaves in the Guanzhong area, some farmers went to battle in person.Even so, there is still not enough manpower, because the family has to face up to a thousand acres of land.The sea of wheat formed by wheat is endless.That's pretty good.If you look at those super farmers with more than [-] mu of land, especially those with up to [-] mu of land, they are almost dying of worry.Without thousands of slaves, this wheat cannot be harvested.Especially now is the busy season.They can only pay a certain price to hire Koreans to harvest the wheat.
The tense situation of slaves was not limited to the Guanzhong area. In the newly established Mengzhou, slaves not only harvested wheat in the Yellow River area, but also herded cattle and sheep, and also harvested pasture.In the north, it is also a busy situation.A large number of prisoners of war began to enter the pastures to harvest pastures, and they were preparing for the winter.But at the same time, a large number of roads have to be repaired, especially this is a military project.Qin's laws are quite strict.to this end.Some engineering soldiers* joined them too.
The slave's nervousness stimulated two needs at once.One is, a large number of hunting and hunting operations.A large number of ethnic minorities were acquired as slaves, but the special geographical environment in the north determined the sparse population.So some slave chiefs began to notice another emerging source of slaves.North Korea, that is, the vast area around Changbai Mountain.Some civilizations have emerged there.A large number of slave traders began to gather there to discuss a large-scale attack on North Korea.
And another aspect.That's what spurred research on a machine similar to the iron horse, or the machine tools that factories use to accomplish agricultural harvesting.This intention is mainly concentrated in the Guanzhong area.Because the number of slaves is often very small in Guanzhong, because the establishment of a large number of border states intercepted a large part of them.This makes them have to rely on mechanical solutions.In response to this situation, Shangwen urgently allocated a sum of scientific research funds to study a large number of machines.Because this has reached the point where the fire is imminent.At the same time, in order to solve the situation of winter vegetables.Naofumi builds a greenhouse made of glass.The glass is listed along with the kosher salt.Started to enter ordinary people's homes in large numbers.In particular, some commercial shops began to remove a large number of wooden doors and windows.Switch to clear glass.Not only that.In the new city.Glass has become the material of choice.
The emergence of a large number of glass paved the way for the popularity of mirrors.In the Qin Palace, a large number of mirrors are installed to become a symbol of the strength of Qin Wang.At the same time, King Qin wanted to demolish some palaces and build them with cement, because cement can build higher.In the new urban area, Ying Yu actually built a three-story building.Therefore, King Qin wanted to build five-story buildings, or even higher buildings.
Shang Wen refused the matter because the materials were not enough to build such a high building, otherwise, he would have to spend a sum of money to complete the project.
Just when Shang Wen was dealing with these things.Zhao Guo sent a letter unexpectedly.The letter was written by Li Mu.He came to inquire about the specific matters of Qin's mediation.Arriving at the same time, there are also border intelligence.Journalists don't know much about the battle of Lingshou.Because their main focus is on South Korea, and South Korea has made very big changes.Especially the first queen.This is an important source of news resources for them.
Through espionage, Shangwen learned about the battle of Lingshou, and also understood why Li Mu did this.Li Mu plans to use the results of this battle to seek greater benefits for Zhao Guo at the negotiating table.Shang Wen didn't know if this was Li Mu's intention or Zhao Wang's intention.
In fact, this is exactly what King Zhao meant.The points Li Mu listed made Zhao Wang feel the seriousness of the consequences.Although King Zhao was extremely reluctant, he had to accept it.Although Li Mu didn't mention the military rations.But the combat power of the Yan army is far from what Zhao Jun has mentioned.Zhao Wang had no choice but to let Li Mu take full responsibility for the matter.
In order to appease Li Mu, King Zhao named Li Mu Lord Wu'an.There is a Lord Wu An in the State of Qin who is Bai Qi, and Lord Wu An in the State of Zhao is Li Mu.Li Mu apparently became Zhao's God of War.This is a bit abrupt, because.Zhao Wang was still jealous of Li Mu before, why did he change his attitude so suddenly.
The reason lies in Guo Kai.His huge loss in Qin's grain futures made him understand that this battle cannot be fought again.If you fight again, there will be no food in the army.The army naturally mutinied.This will have no good fruit for anyone. Instead of doing this, it is better to be a favor.Push for a truce.It was also Guo Kai's mediation that led King Zhao to accept Qin's mediation.
Yan Guo has no news yet.Shangwen needs to wait for the situation of Yan State.However, the latest situation came from Ambassador Yan Guo.Especially Aid Corps.Qin State specially dispatched an aid group composed of military generals to assist in solving the affairs of Yan State.The head of the regiment is Tu Sui.The news they sent was analyzed by the staff department.Let Shang Wen see that Yan Jun's progress is too fast.It's dangerous soon.Now, the Yan army is newly defeated, and there must be some losses. The latest reference opinion given by the staff is that the Yan army is unable to continue to attack Zhao.It is best to accept mediation.
Shangwen waited for news from Yan.It is to make Yan Guo obey Qin's arrangement.But what surprised Shang Wen was that there was no movement from Qi State. It seemed that Zhao State wanted to resolve the armistice issue unilaterally.
Since mediation.Shang Wen suggested that Li Mu could come to Xinzheng to talk.There are third countries.Moreover, it is also an ally of Qin State.The specific situation can also be discussed.However, considering that the political and economic components of the talks must be large, such as compensation, business tax rates, and so on.In a private letter, Shang Wen told Li Mu to send a high-ranking civil official to participate, and it would be best to get the authorization of King Zhao.
At the same time, Shangwen also wrote a letter to Han Shu, informing him of the talks held in Xinzheng.After writing the letter.Shang Wen notified Zhang Liang in time.Let Zhang Liang be prepared.
Just when all this is ready.The South Korean side finally conveyed this news, which is no longer the latest news.
The drama is also unspeakable.After all, Yan Guo suffered a defeat.Yan Guo didn't want to fight anymore.There was a problem with their gold production.A gold vein dried up under violent mining.They are looking for another golden vein.This is why they cannot wage war.
Shangwen also told the other party about the mediation very straightforwardly.Get the other side ready, ideally by sending a new representative in full charge of the matter.Ju Xin also thinks that this will be a very important matter.Then go back to discuss.In any case, the four-nation meeting must be settled.
465 Deputy Prime Minister
The proposal of the four-nation meeting made Naofumi feel that it was a bit like an "international" meeting.However, reaching those agreements requires Shang Wen's specific ideas, because there are many things that these countries have not contacted, such as "international law" and "international conventions".Shang Wen believes that efforts should be made in this direction.
