The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Regarding such a condition, what reason does the colonial councillors have to refuse? Of course they agreed to do so. After all, they were defeated. Defeated. Naturally, there is nothing to say.

Xiang Liang also achieved his goal at this time. His goal was to get local taxes and to recruit soldiers to participate in the main battles of the Chu army in a timely manner. Although the tax was set sloppily at 5%, think about it. Look. If the plates in the local colony are large enough, then five percent is also a considerable amount. Thought of this. Xiang Liang believes that this is the best way to solve the colony trust problem.

There is a big trust issue between the colony and the Chu army, and this trust issue cannot be resolved by force. Such trust can only be obtained by paying some conditions that both parties are satisfied with. The basis for such trust between the two parties is the armed forces. Armed forces can bring security. At the same time, it can check and balance each other. Under such a condition, both parties are willing to fulfill their demands.

The Chu army can get taxes and at the same time enjoy the power of garrison. The colonial authorities, however, can enjoy the power of militia, so that their safety is further guaranteed. At the same time, they can spend a certain amount of money and taxes to ensure that they urgently need to enjoy the wealth they created, which is fair to them. Under such a fair transaction. The colonial authorities are naturally satisfied.

"General. At present, the Chu State Navy already has sufficient funds. Moreover, in the northern port area of ​​Qin State, various warships have been built for the Chu Army, and weapons are also being delivered. The general should plan for the next step. "Qin State Bank representative said to General Xiang Yan.

"En." Xiang Yan just nodded and agreed.

"So, do you have any ideas?" Xiang Yan asked at this time.

"Yes. General." The bank representative said at this time.

"Oh. Tell me about it." Xiang Yan asked with interest at this time.

"General, we should attack the city of Changsha in Chu State." The bank representative said actively at this time.

"What?" Xiang Yan was obviously overwhelmed by such a sudden statement.

"The general should attack the city of Changsha. The main administrative and military management center should be established. The most important thing is that the occupation of Changsha can effectively control the Yangtze River, especially during the Chu state of trade with the Qin State. Near Changsha City, there are a large number of Merchant ships of Chu State berthed, and there are more merchant vessels of Chu State passing by. It is also the main narrow area of ​​the Yangtze River, where effective fortresses can be built for defense. Not only that. It is also possible to build a main port for berthing. Not only for military use, but also There are a large number of civilian ports to fill.” Qin’s bank representative said at this time.

The Qin State Bank representative’s analysis is very reasonable. Changsha City, as a city that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, has a very important strategic position, and with the prominence of its transportation status on the Yangtze River. The role of Changsha has become more and more prominent.

Not only from a shipping perspective. From the perspective of the Chu State Navy. Changsha city is also a strong fortress. Establishing a fort in Changsha can curb the Yangtze River's estuary. At the same time, for the Chu State navy using wooden sailboats. It is also an important berthing port. In addition, Changsha is doing very well. There has always been a place of wealth. The local developed agriculture provided sufficient food, which was indeed the best choice for the Chu navy when it came.

For the people of Qin, attacking Changsha, especially occupying Changsha, has very important strategic significance.

Occupy Changsha. The power of Chu's navy will grow rapidly. At present, Chu Jun does not have a stable management center. Chu Jun’s tax collection would become extremely unstable, because arbitrarily levying taxes would obviously involve considerable political risk. You must know that excessive taxation is caused by resistance. In this way, the reaction force to the economy is very great. In turn, it will affect the gathering of the Chu army.

The reason why Qin Guo's bank considers this. It's all because of their interests. If they can't help Chu's naval forces get timely financial income, their loans will become extremely dangerous. You know, they are cooperating with a government force, and this government force is based on their armed forces. The more they invest, the greater their danger, because the army is an expendable organization, and the army will only consume, without any economic growth value. The banker obviously cannot expect the Chu army to get the previous investment by fighting a large-scale war, and then let the Chu army return the money to Qin State Bank with the profit.

It is obviously impossible to recover the cost by spending money to get the other party into war. It is also out of this worry. Qin's bankers demanded that Chu's navy should establish a stable rear, and this rear was to have a thriving economic zone. Only the establishment of these economic zones can quickly promote the economic growth of Chu State. On the basis of economic growth. Only the Chu navy can collect more taxes to repay Qin's debts.

If you don't do this, the banker of Qin State will lose everything. For them, this is simply disastrous.

"We must occupy Changsha, which is not only rich in resources and convenient transportation. At the same time, it will have a great strategic turn for the next development of the Chu State Navy." said the representative of Qin State Bank.

"After the occupation of Changsha, the Chu State Navy directly established a considerable part of the regime. In terms of tax collection, there is only a great help. Only in this way can the Chu State Navy enter a new stage of development." said the representative of Qin State Bank. .

"But Chu's navy has no power to attack Changsha. You know, Changsha can be a tightly defensive fortress." Xiang Yan said.

"General, you have a considerable amount of objective armed forces. As long as you are willing, I think Qin State Bank can supplement your strength and let you speed up the attack on Changsha." The bank representative said.

"This is naturally willing." Xiang Yan readily agreed.

"En." The bank representative nodded worriedly. The bank will issue another loan to the other party. This sum of money has seriously exceeded the current repayment ability of the Chu State Navy, but Qin State wanted to recover their principal, so he could only do so.

Just when Qin State Bank suggested that the other party attack Changsha. Zhao Guo is also actively planning their disarmament issues.

"According to Prime Minister Guo Kai's instructions. Our army will reduce the army to 100,000." Li Mu said worriedly. Because the current Zhao Jun’s overall combat effectiveness has not increased on a large scale, that is to say, with the same combat effectiveness, the reduction in the number of Zhao Jun’s numbers will directly lead to a direct decline in Zhao Jun’s combat effectiveness. This is not a good decision for Zhao Jun.

"Fortunately, the forces of the Qin army are scattered. There is no time to take care of us. In addition, the Qin army has also shown willingness in this regard. There is news from the Qin State. King Qin has agreed to sign the agreement. This is a good thing for us. News." Li Mu said to the generals present.

"General. What will happen to the reduced soldiers?" a major general officer said excitedly. For disarmament. Zhao Jun had already digested this news internally, and Zhao was unable to support such a huge army. This is the reason for Guo Kai. In fact, a large amount of military expenditure was turned into his own money by Guo Kai. And these money can be used in the army.

"I originally planned to build a reserve team like the Qin Army, or an armed militia, but for now," Li Mu shook his head and said.

"It doesn't work. Zhao Guo is unable to allocate this amount. This is a great misfortune for Zhao Jun." Li Mu said.

The generals heard such news. Feel a pity one after another.

"But this general came up with a good way. That is to raise the war by fighting. Qin retains a considerable amount of objective armed forces. These armed forces are all private forces. They are actively expanding externally and drawing on local interests. Then let these benefits be transformed into their military expenditures. Then they continue to expand non-stop." Li Mu said.

"The same can be said for the Zhao army, and the Zhao army can also become the main source of these private armed forces. In this way, our Zhao army can not be raised on a large scale, and when the war requires, we can quickly increase combat. The number of personnel." Li Mu calculated.

"En. This is a good way." All the generals agreed unanimously.

But Li Zuoche, who was sitting in the corner, frowned at this moment. He felt that this method was good. However, there are some shortcomings, and he feels that this approach is not appropriate. As for what was wrong, he couldn't make it clear himself. But the problem is not proper.

In fact, this question is a question approved by a country. Qin’s armed forces are allowed by the state. In other words, the state knows that these armed forces do exist. Although their existence meets the current needs of Qin’s armed expansion to some extent, at the same time, Qin can also His own reserve team is kept in it. This is allowed by the State of Qin.

But in the State of Zhao, there is a great risk in doing so. This risk comes from the fact that this country cannot solve the problem of military armed forces very well. That is, the military system of the Zhao country is very bad. There is a big gap between civilian officials and military generals, and this gap makes Zhao Guo plunged into chaos. In the Changping War, such a critical battle. It was because of the imperfection of the military system that Zhao Guo changed his generals. Eventually led to a devastating blow. Now Zhao's economy is developing rapidly, civilian officials are in power, and such a movement made by military commanders at this time will obviously affect the interests of civilian officials. So civil and military will be at odds. Disharmony will cause serious domestic political problems. This is the characteristic of Zhao's politics.
