The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

State of Zhao, Handan.

"Our industry is still not good enough. Although we have received large-scale orders from Qin and South Korea, the main purpose of these orders is to process a large number of rails, steel rails, and our steel can also be produced, but the quantity is still relatively small. "Li Mu said, looking at the report in his hand.

This is a preliminary report of Zhao Guo Industry. After mastering the development of basic steelmaking, Zhao Guo can produce steel in small-scale batches, but these steels mainly produce rails to meet the needs of Qin, and only a small part of the steel is used in military industry and other fields.

"Korean people can produce small steam engines at the level of processing. If their technology is good enough, they can produce medium-sized steam engines. They can be used on train locomotives, locomotives, and warships. On the contrary, our Zhao Guo's technology in this area is lagging behind. A lot." Li Zuoche said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha. Don't worry, there are some things we know a lot, and there is no way, but you have to know one thing, that is, what we need now will definitely be produced in the future." After listening to Li Mu, he didn't worry. , But it seems a little relaxed.

"The prime minister, it's just that we don't worry about it like this. Is it really good if it is handed over to a commercial factory and they do it themselves?" Li Zuoche asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course. They have to do better than us. In this regard, they have the right to make their own decisions. Businessmen are as smart as us soldiers and politicians. We should let them go boldly and let them do it boldly, otherwise. . It’s not easy for us to do it ourselves. Understand?" Li Mu said lightly.

"This. Okay." Li Zuoche nodded. Li Mu adopted the method of learning from the people of Qin. Although a large amount of technology was transferred from Qin, these technologies still require a lot of money to be introduced. Digestion and absorption take a long time to complete. These can only be done by the enterprise itself, and the government absolutely cannot participate in it.

Li Mu now also learns Shangwen's anarchism, and completely relies on free competition to complete business competition. This is a clever approach, because he is not very proficient in technology, as well as the market rules of production and sales. It seems that the situation may be better if it is done by the order of the government. But the impact is too great. The government will drag down businesses. The enterprise has no vitality at all. This is not what Li Mu hopes to see.

Jiaozhou, Qingcheng. North Wharf. This is a civilian wharf. There are twelve cargo ships moored on the wharf. They are returning home in the fate of the people of Qi. When they return, they will also bring back a large number of Qi people. This is an order issued by the Qingcheng government. They can only comply. But the remuneration is also very rich. They are also willing to do it.

In order to be able to transport a large number of Qi national labor force. The major business associations in Qingcheng have also taken corresponding actions. The Jiaozhou Railway Company leased twelve cargo ships at a cost. In addition, the shipyard has several newly launched cargo ships also scheduled, and they are expected to join them to transport personnel to arrive here at a later date. Some flour processing factories and food processing factories provided some food to help Qi people have food when they went south. Qingcheng Shipbuilding Association, with the support of the joint shipyard, decided to release more cargo ships to transport more Qi people to the south. .

Many Qi people in Qingcheng also donate money and materials spontaneously. This is their own hometown, and it is a very cost-effective thing for their families to go south to reunite.

"Hurry up, hurry up, set sail. You can go home." The Qi Guoren who boarded the ship exclaimed excitedly. This is a good thing the government helps them solve. This thing makes more Qi people in Qingcheng, Jiaozhou feel that it is very good to have such a government. This is a good government that has helped them solve many practical problems.

Jiaozhou and Qingcheng have actually become their second hometown. The salary here is relatively high, which is completely more than what they can earn by working in the fields for a year. The prices are also very cheap. They can easily get enough for a day’s wages. The food and clothes will be very good, and most importantly, their next generation, their children can go to school.

South Korea first popularized compulsory education in Jiaozhou. One-third of the royal family’s income is spent on education, and the penetration rate of compulsory education schools even exceeds that of South Korea. In Xinzheng, South Korea, the literacy rate is only 62%. And in Qingcheng. This figure is as high as 87.1%. This is because more and more workers are participating in study classes. Shipyards need a large number of skilled workers. Only by knowing words can they get higher salaries. This is a common understanding. Their children are also constantly studying in the voluntary school, learning more knowledge, because only in this way can they get higher salaries and have a better life in the future. Chinese people who value family values ​​are more willing to let their next generation come here. Because they have better development.

In contrast, Qi State does not have this. Their basic education is zero. Only nobles, descendants of military officers, and merchants can have educational opportunities. Ordinary people still have no possibility of education.

This is the reason that attracts many people from Qi to stay. Here you can get better educational opportunities and change the fate of a generation, but there is nothing in Qi. The infrastructure of Qingcheng, Jiaozhou is constantly changing, and new opportunities are being created here every day, and people are constantly seizing the opportunities to get rich. This is completely impossible in Qi. Therefore, many Qi people are willing to go south, but the Qi government cannot do this. Their infrastructure is very small. The condition of the roads depends on local famous families for maintenance, and a large number of profitable industries are controlled by the local wealthy, military officers, and descendants of the nobles. They simply have no such opportunity. These are two different societies. In contrast, Jiaozhou Qingcheng is more dynamic. And Qi Guo looked lifeless. People can't lift their spirits.

"Captain, there is another big thing, our ship, we have to go to the gantry crane." A chief mate on the cargo ship said excitedly.

"What big thing? Why don't I know?" the captain said impatiently. Half of the people on his cargo ship have already boarded.

"It looks like an airship. It looks quite big, but it doesn't have much weight. It's bad luck. It stopped the entire deck. This is what they did after shrinking it." The chief officer said.

"Why are you transporting that thing?" the captain asked impatiently.

"I heard that this matter is still an order from the city government. They said it was to promote, and the level of promotion was very good. So they let us ship. I heard that there are three airships. We are only one of them. As for how to transport. How. Fly. That's their business." The first officer said.

"Okay, okay. Hurry up and stop the boarding. Let's go over there and let the **** airship get on the ship. It's really upset." The captain waved his arm impatiently and said.

"Okay. Captain." The chief mate said with a smile. I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​using airships for publicity. They think that this can attract the attention of the people of Qi even more, because if you throw a lot of publicity sheets from the sky. Can spread more widely. Qin people used this method when they were running for the prime minister. Because such propaganda is more powerful. Therefore, the Koreans have also learned this, they think it can better promote their Jiaozhou Qingcheng. So they hurriedly rented some airships and transported them to the ship, hoping to take off at sea, or to fly over the people of Qi, and spread more flyers. The Qingcheng Printing Factory urgently printed a batch of posters and delivered them to the ship, and everything is under planning. It seems to be much smoother.

Behind the Indy Line. The Twelfth Infantry Regiment of Yueshi hurriedly and finally arrived at their destination. The cavalry told him where he was stuck. This is named by the Yueshi people themselves.

"Damn it. You can't even drink your saliva here." Colonel Richard said, looking at the dry land around him. Because it belongs to the dry season and the climate here is drier, it makes them feel dry.

"Da da da da." At this moment a cavalry ran over quickly.

"Sir. The 1st Cavalry Brigade is in the front. They need us to **** more prisoners back to the rear." A cavalry said to Richard.

"Damn it, it's a prisoner again." Richard scolded.

"I see. Tell him that we will **** the prisoners to the rear as soon as possible." Richard said impatiently, waving his arm. The cavalry saluted and left.

The main task of the Yue's infantry is to clean up some suspicious targets. After all, they carry light artillery and have sufficient firepower, but their mobility is relatively slow. But along the way, they didn't fight much at all, and many Indians surrendered when they saw them. Or they are sitting lazily on the side of the road, waiting for them to be captured, because if they leave the army, it is difficult to survive in such an environment. Without food, they are unlikely to escape by themselves, just escape. Their situation is not very good either. These Indians are auxiliary combat troops, that is, auxiliary forces. They have no weapons at all, and many are just labor. They don't know what happened on the front line. Just knowing that the Yue people attacked in. They have a lot of horses. Charge in droves. Many people simply can't stand their attacks. Then it collapsed completely. That's the way it is. They themselves don't know what to do. Then he was captured by the Yueshi people. They dare not run.

The Indians detained by the Yue people have escaped. Beheaded when caught. Then the heads were hanging everywhere. Very scared, this makes many people afraid to run away. They can only stand in place. Then he was arrested.

"Order the second battalion and the third battalion to go ahead, so that they can **** the prisoners as soon as possible. Damn, they didn't fight in a battle, and all the prisoners were escorted by one regiment. Damn it." Richard scolded. They were the first infantry regiments to enter the back of the Indian defense line, and they were transported by carriages. So they were quick, and some infantry units were still advancing on their two legs. However, they are the most advanced, but they are in a lot of trouble because they need to keep a lot of prisoners in custody. They want to transport all these prisoners back. Usually, a company needs to **** about 3,000 to 5,000 prisoners. His company was quickly dismantled. Because there are too many captives. Before their troops were assembled, a large number of prisoners were transported. This makes them feel very headache.

The ninth company of the Twelfth Infantry Regiment of Yueshi. Captain Moder was chewing on a piece of beef. The one in front of him is roasting a piece of beef. This is the ox cart of the Indians, they seized it.

"Sir, this is the latest order." A messenger ran over and said to Mordell.

"What order?" Mordell asked, holding the paper that had been sent away.

"I don't know, sir, I guess, it might be for us to **** the prisoners. There are already a large number of prisoners assembled on the regiment headquarters. The number exceeds 20,000." The messenger said embarrassedly.

"Damn it. You guessed it." Mordell crumpled the order and threw it into the fire.

"I hate detaining those **** prisoners. There are so many people, one company has to spread out, and the average number of people in custody is more than 3,000. One person has to keep more than 20 people in custody. If it reaches 5,000, his mother, Our bullets can't kill you." Captain Mordell scolded. One of his company has at most one hundred and fifty people. A person only carries 30 rounds of ammunition. This is because the level of combat here is very low. The original 60 rounds of ammunition carried have reduced them to half. But now they regret that they have less ammunition. Because they escorted so many people, tens of thousands.

"Sir. The captives will be escorted over soon. We need to send someone to accept these captives. This is the order of the regiment headquarters." The messenger hesitated and said.

"Okay, I see. Go on. People will pass in a while." Captain Modell said helplessly. He saw a lot of cavalry along the way, and the infantry escorted a large number of prisoners back. He thought the war was over. But as a result, the war did not end, and their mission was not completed, because they needed to **** more prisoners to the rear. The people of Qin needed a lot of labor, and they were an important force in building railways. The above order prohibits large-scale massacres. Some can be killed, but mass massacres are definitely not allowed, because they are also part of wealth.

"After eating the beef. Go and **** the captives. Damn." Modal said with a bite of beef.

Under the fortress where Indy broke. This has become the front-line headquarters of the assault group.

"Our officers generally complain that there are too many captives. They have become our biggest burden. The cavalry unit has to stop and wait for the infantry behind to come up because there are too many captives, and hand over a large number of captives to the infantry. Then the cavalry can attack again. , However, the infantry unit had to **** the prisoners back here with all their strength, which required a considerable amount of force. In this way, there would be a big gap between the returning infantry and the cavalry that went on the offensive. There is a serious disconnect between the cavalry unit and the infantry unit. This is not conducive to our offensive, and it will put the cavalry unit in a dangerous situation." Meng Ping said.

"The only way at the moment is to stop the attack and let our cavalry stop attacking. They have attacked a long distance. We need to expand our width, that is, to form a more effective width, and then choose to attack south again. Or attack from left to right." Meng Ping said.

"You mean to stop our troops. Do you stop the attack?" Admiral Moran asked in surprise. He believes that at this time his cavalry should expand as much as possible in the battle results. Instead of stopping the offense.

"We can't stop the offense, we should expand the results as much as possible." Admiral Moran said, shaking his head. The Yue government asked him to provide as many prisoners of war as possible. The more prisoners of war, the more financial problems they can solve.

"No, no, it is too dangerous to do this. Dangerous actions will make our situation very bad. If the Indian reserve army or other army appears, our situation will be very bad. The current situation is that our cavalry force, that is, the mobile force, has exceeded the range of our advancement, and they have left the effective protection range of the infantry, while our infantry is engaged in things that have nothing to do with their work. In this way, their situation will be very bad. I am worried that if this goes on, they will be greatly disadvantaged. I think we should stop instead of continuing to attack. Or, this is already It's beyond our ability." Meng Ping said cautiously. He has a feeling, the feeling cultivated in the war, he may not be able to say clearly. This means that the Yue cavalry who have undergone continuous maneuver operations have not many troops. Moreover, they are a mixed force. Composed of cavalry, musket infantry and artillery, such an offensive has already been. The cavalry at the forefront has been put in a dangerous situation, especially at the beginning, they rely on suddenness to play their mobility, but with the passage of time. With the consumption of horses and the expansion of trophies, their power is already in a state of exhaustion. In such a situation. Continue to attack may seriously damage their own interests. Meng Ping does not want greater losses, so he recommends stopping the attack.

"No, no. My order is to launch a larger military offensive. There is no intelligence to show that our troops have been exhausted. I think the trouble comes from the prisoners. There are too many prisoners of war. There is too much delay. Our offensive speed. As long as we solve the prisoner problem properly, everything is not a problem." Admiral Moran waved his arm and said. He seems to be saying that he knows the situation on the front lines.

"Okay. I think we should not attack too much. This situation is very unfavorable for us." Meng Ping said.

"Okay, according to what you said, we will control the attacking rhythm, at least there will be no big problems." Admiral Moran said.
