When Shangwen proposed to mobilize a division to return to defense.Shang Wen was surprised by Wei Liao's answer.

"We have issued a transfer order to transfer a division and a cavalry regiment from the central line. We will exchange 1 people from the northern line and Taiyuan for deployment. If necessary, we can also recruit new troops to fight. The training of muskets is very convenient. We have a large number weapons in stock." Wei Liao said happily.

"These are enough, and the army is recruited again. We don't have the money to pay a lot of military expenses." Shangwen said.Wei Liao was surprised.

"Speaking of weapons, we also have to cut down a large number of military orders. For example, the Navy cuts at least [-] ships. The Space Force cuts at least half of its airships. The Army's six-barreled Vulcan. Large-scale order cancellations are required. Some armies also Soldiers need to be decommissioned. Put them into factories, or whatever. In short, we have no money," Shangwen said.

"Didn't we issue a lot of bonds?" Wei Liao asked.

"But it needs to be cashed. These bonds need to be cashed. You know that. Especially now. We have occupied a * land at once. We need to digest. Need to consolidate, need to build. It takes a lot of money. Such a huge war We have already spent a lot of money on military expenses," Shang Wen explained.

Wei Liao was obviously having a hard time pretending to change.some days ago.Military orders are also continuously issued here.but now.Not only to cancel military orders.And some troops have to be cut down.Let them retire.

"In addition, we have to carry out a series of diplomatic actions. The first is to help South Korea train combat. We will get military training fees. In addition. Our inventory. Eliminate a large number of flintlocks. Replace them with percussion-type muskets. This is just It's the beginning. We still have a lot of surplus supplies. I checked the list of supplies. Our food and equipment can be enough to feed the frontline for ten years." Shang Wen said.

"But those retired soldiers?" Wei Liao asked.

"We will arrange employment for them. And there is still a lot of land for them. These will definitely satisfy them." Shang Wen said.

"I'm afraid these things are beyond what you and I can do. This has to be reported to the king." Wei Liao realized something.Then the monk Wen said in time.

"I'll talk about it right away. These things are already very big moves." Shangwen said.

"I'm going to report to the king right now." After saying that, Shang Wen immediately went back to the palace with Ying Yu on his back.

"By the way, can you arrange a carriage to take us for a ride?" Shang Wen felt that Ying Yu was quite heavy on his back.Especially when I can't straighten my back.

"Yes, of course." Wei Liao said.Saying goodbye to the two.Leave Guowei Mansion.

Arrived at Xianyang Palace.Shangwen handed Yingyu over to her maid.Then he told King Qin his initial thoughts.

This is a series of military, diplomatic, political, military actions.The scope involved is very wide.If Han Shu didn't take the initiative to find Shang Wen.Naofumi's adjustment can also be completed.But it takes time.a long time.But under the external force exerted by Han Shu.The progress of Qin State on the road to capitalism has been accelerated a lot.And Han Shu is the inducement for Qin to carry out a series of actions.

The core of Qin State lies in economic issues.And a series of actions will be launched around the economy.The first task of the economy is to digest the huge war results.The war has come to an end, and the Qin army is already winning.But the results of the war are only beginning to be digested.

The Qin State annexed today's Gansu, Ningxia, most of Inner Mongolia, and a small amount of Outer Mongolia and a part of Xin Jiang.And Xin Jiang's door has been opened, and it won't be long.Qin still needs to expand a large part of its land.

The population of Qin State is still unable to satisfy so much land development, which is the biggest problem.This issue will be resolved as immigration work unfolds.But population remains unresolved.Want a quick fix.Only through diplomatic means can a large number of people from the six countries be attracted to Qin.And this will inevitably lead to diplomatic troubles.

Diplomacy is backed by military strength.Qin's army is about to carry out a military revolution.The change comes from the advances in weapon technology beyond the ages.And economic needs require the military to make timely changes and adjustments.

Large-scale war mobilization is no longer possible.Local small-scale wars do not require slow mobilization and huge expenditures.A slow army.Moreover, the government's expenditure cannot meet the needs of such a huge army.

Qin Jun needs to change.The army needs to be slimmed down.His size should remain appropriate.This is appropriate, and the Qin army maintains high mobility.This is what the needs of war demand.The targets of the Qin army's future operations are the scattered Huns and unknown nomads.Continuous harassing attacks and high-mobility operations.It is impossible to take a large-scale war against the six countries.because of immigration needs.It is necessary to maintain a positive image of Qin State, and domestic stability is also the greatest demand for economic construction.And the war will draw a large number of young and middle-aged people.This is not what Qin Guo wants to see the most.

In addition, economic demand will be the biggest driving force.Qin's army has initially had the style of a modern army.Especially in terms of obtaining the results of the war, Qin State gained the most.Qin Jun, who has tasted the sweetness, must continue.And next.The economy will shift to trade with the six nations.on trade issues.The Qin army needs to control the main traffic arteries, and maintain rapid mobility to handle them in a timely manner.This is the most fundamental stepping to death.

Diplomacy.Qin State must be able to deter the opponent anytime and anywhere.Diplomacy is backed up by force.Flexible activities in six countries.To facilitate trade.

The specific measures are to reduce military expenditure, encourage foreign trade, increase infrastructure construction, and provide economic and military assistance to Yan and South Korea.

These are all sorted out by Shang Wen through Han Shu, Ying Yu, Wei Liao and others, combined with what he has seen and heard.This is a relatively systematic and specific measure of Qin State.

After Shang Wen sent Ying Yu away, he hurried to see King Qin to report and ask for instructions.Although Ying Yu was a bit reluctant.But still have to separate.Because Shangwen's identity is the prime minister.It is to bear the responsibility of Qin as a country.

Under the guidance of a servant.Shangwen met King Qin.After simple etiquette.Shangwen started to get to the point.

He told King Qin one by one what he had sorted out just now.on necessary diplomatic issues.Shangwen even put forward the metaphor of "one pull, one block".The Yan State held back the most threatening Zhao State and Qi State, and South Korea, as the buffer zone and gateway of the Qin State, blocked the main passage.And following the initiative of foreign trade, it completely destroyed South Korea's economic foundation.Make it politically impossible to stay lixing.This way you can control the main channel.

370 Disarmament drives military change

King Qin was quite satisfied with such a diplomatic deployment.The reason for the greater satisfaction is simple.King Qin was worried about helping a neighboring country train its army.It is even a little bit bigger to say let it launch a coup.This made King Qin feel a little uneasy.

And when Shangwen proposed large-scale disarmament.Qin Wang's performance was even more intense.

"Disarmament. How can this be done. Daqin has never disarmed on such a large scale. In this way, the six countries are even more unscrupulous." Qin Wang's attitude changed from shock to clarity.Disarmament is impossible.Military strike.It has always been Qin's strength.This advantage is also something that the Six Nations are extremely afraid of.Qin's attack on the Six Kingdoms.Always maintain a high pressure situation.Reduce the number of troops.This situation cannot be guaranteed.Traditional policies are deeply entrenched.

"Your Majesty, disarmament is imperative." Shang Wen simply replied.Shang Wen is very wise.He knew King Qin needed to calm down.Only when you are calm can you continue.Shang Wen only said such a sentence.Just keep silent.He is giving King Qin time.Enough time to cool down.

The king of Qin couldn't understand that he was the one who carried out the large-scale conscription reform.But now, it suddenly disarmed.It was only a few months before and after.The change turned out to be so great.Qin Wang himself felt that there was something wrong with it.The silence gave King Qin a time to wake himself up.It also made Qin Wang start to think about the reason why Shangwen did this.

"Mister is silent, why?" King Qin asked.I heard King Qin questioning.Shang Wen replied.

"Your Majesty, please wake up."Shang Wen said.

"Oh. Wake up." King Qin laughed after he finished speaking.

"Mr. Gao Yi, you have worked hard for me, Great Qin." King Qin suddenly came to his senses.Shangwen is telling himself to keep calm.And the starting point is only for Qin.

"This is the duty of the minister." Shang Wen saw that King Qin calmed down.Changes began to disarm the reasons for the benefits.Come one by one.

"Your Majesty, disarmament is extremely beneficial to our Great Qin. Why, there are three reasons."

"My Daqin issued Zheng Fu bonds on a large scale. These bonds raised a lot of funds for my Daqin. This is also the reason why the war is going smoothly. But now the military expenditure far exceeds our budget. 300 million gold. All at once More than 200 gold was spent. It is time for the minister to stop it. Otherwise, I will increase the military expenditure."

King Qin heard it.very shocked.The military expenditure is unexpectedly so large, which is even greater than the original expenditure for fighting a war.

"In addition to the necessary expenditures, a large part of these military expenditures comes from the internal competition of the three major military services. The king does not know. If the weapons on the list of military expenditures are developed, even if there are 200 million Sixth Army in front of the Qin army The Qin army can easily tear it apart." Shang Wen said.

King Qin smiled.Hearing this, I am still very happy.Who doesn't want their army to be strong.

"But the price is that our country as a whole will collapse, and Qin's economy does not allow such an army to exist." Shang Wen said.

"Secondly, the structure of the army. The army I maintain in Daqin now. Its army is still the main part. The navy and space army are less than one percent of it. The structure of the army is extremely large and bloated. Now our face-to-face It is no longer possible for the enemy to attack us from the front. They were broken up by our Qin army, smashed to pieces, and scattered in a wide area. They are very flexible. Such a bloated and huge army is very unsuitable for this type of combat. "

"Thirdly, our Great Qin needs to get back on the track of economic construction. Especially to digest the vast land currently occupied by our Qin army. This requires population. It needs labor. Soldiers are in the war stage for a long time. The economic damage to our Great Qin is too great. It is also the driving force of population growth," Shang Wen said.

"Yes. Sir, continue." King Qin nodded in approval of Shang Wen's thoughts.And it's all very true.

"Your Majesty, our disarmament is actually allowing the Qin army to maintain a stronger combat effectiveness. This is a military revolution. The advancement of weapon technology requires a comprehensive innovation from tactics to strategy." Shang Wen put forward his own views.

"On the basis of undiminished combat effectiveness or higher requirements. The Qin army is required to use more technology. And the technical requirements are getting higher and higher. The effectiveness of its war may exceed before. But the scale is smaller than before. The structure is more reasonable. The Tianjun and The navy will be able to advance the three armies at the same time. There are many ways to attack the opponent. The enemy is hard to defend." Shangwen said.

"Okay." King Qin shouted.

"The most important thing is that our country's economic burden is much smaller. And the technical level of military equipment has improved. It is also the rapid improvement of our Great Qin's technical reserves. The two promote each other. This is a great boost to the economy."

"In addition, the king also needs to improve the reserve system of our Great Qin. Only in this way can the training level and combat effectiveness of the army be improved."

"Well, that's right. Mr. Lao is responsible for these matters. The widow is absolutely assured of Mr. Qin." King Qin said.

In fact, this is to let Shangwen do it with confidence.King Qin saw it.Shangwen's starting point.Often it is from a national perspective.rather than individuals.And most of the considerations are economical.on economic.This is King Qin's shortcoming.It is also something that King Qin cannot understand.

"minister,……".Shang Wen understood what King Qin meant.

"Okay, sir, there is no need to be too polite. I should thank the Prime Minister. Zhao Gao will tell me about the changes in Xianyang every day. It is not too late to say these changes. I should go out for a walk." King Qin said.

...The two ministers then had no further discussions on state affairs.Instead, it was very strange to talk about some irrelevant topics.When these are finished.it's getting dark.Naofumi also has to go back to his residence to draw up some terms.These are a series of terms signed with South Korea.These terms are still secret in nature.After all, the incident also involved support for the coup d'état.
