The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 2865: A city with a population of 100,000

"Near 112 Heights, one of our company's defensive strongholds was almost breached by the Indians' tentative offensive." A staff officer of Sharp said.

"If a cavalry company's reserve team hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid there would be a thirty-mile-wide gap in our entire defense line." The staff officer said. Sharp just nodded. Their situation was not very good. When they found some advance troops of the Yueshi people, Sharp felt it was not good.

The vanguard of the Indians launched a tentative offensive, but the front of their defense was as high as a front line more than two hundred miles wide. And they only had four battalions. These forces could not withstand the attacks of the Indians. After the first wave of attacks, they barely defended the entire line of defense, but that line of defense was still very dangerous, and some small groups of troops could Crossed their defense line and entered behind the Yueshi, and the Yueshi couldn't stop the patrol from preventing this from happening, because their reserve team had run out.

"Sir, we don't have any reserve team in our hands. If this goes on, it will be extremely unfavorable to us." Sharp's staff looked at Sharp worriedly.

"I know, is the connection with the rear restored?" Sharp asked.

"Sir, we have just resumed contact. The above tells us that it will take three days for our reinforcements to arrive. A cavalry regiment is ready to set off, and an infantry battalion is coming here, but our line of defense may not be able to support too long. Moreover, there is not much ammunition supply. We have distributed the last ammunition supplement, but the result is still not very sufficient." The staff officer said.

"Well, I see. This is the current situation and we can't do such a thing." Sharp nodded and said. The situation is still very unfavorable for him because he does not have sufficient reserves in his hands and lacks troops everywhere. According to the report he got. In many places, in order to ensure sufficient troops to control the situation, some commanders dispatched Indian volunteers to fight. Although the Indian volunteers caused a lot of casualties, mainly from counter-attacks, their fronts were protected. In this way, the commanders have a new perspective on the Indian volunteers, because they are the only supplementary soldiers available on the battlefield.

Zhanpu country. The military observation group dispatched by the new South Korean army is watching the fall of Western Occupation. There was war everywhere in the city, and the sound of guns kept coming. Some officers stood on the high ground with binoculars and watched the situation in the city. There were a large number of Occupy-Prussian officers near them to follow and study.

"The situation in the Western Occupy Prussia is very unfavorable. Before the war, the Occupy Prussia carried out a large-scale weapon replacement. They have a musketeer force of more than 50,000 people. In addition, they have more than two hundred and fifty artillery pieces of various types. In this battle, they used two hundred of their artillery pieces. The Musketeers defeated the field troops of the Western Occupy Prussia outside the city, and they were unable to launch a threatening attack. The situation was obviously very serious for the Occupy Prussian nation. Advantageously, they are only equipped with spears and broadswords. Elephant soldiers are among them. But they still can’t adapt to the fierce attack of artillery. In fact, Zhanpu has accepted the proposal of the new South Korean army. They cancelled the organization of elephant soldiers. , They began to introduce cavalry from South Korea. Unfortunately, their cavalry had not had time to establish, and the war had already begun. However, the gunmen and artillery units had only a small number of guns, and the artillery West occupied the Prussian army. Advantages, the war is undoubtedly over. At the beginning, the war was over.” A new South Korean army wrote in his diary.

Western Zhanpu was quickly annexed by the Occupy, because the Western Zhanpu could provide a large number of soldiers and at the same time reduce their containment in the west.

After this war is over, they will move to the north, or east, where there are two unobedient countries. The Occupy Prussia has prepared their cannons and muskets. And those countries, because of their disharmony with Chu and Korean merchants, they got very few weapons, and they have very different weapons.

"Those are the logistics team of the Zhanpu army." A captain said to the lieutenant who was writing. The lieutenant looked up at the long trolleys and carriages formed by carriages. They have to traverse the entire country of Bangla, and the roads in Champa are very poor. The four-wheeled carriages transported from Korea have relatively poor adaptability. The main logistical tasks are those caravans from Korea and Chu.

Those people's carts are a kind of local vehicle. The wheels are relatively large and adaptable. However, it is mainly done by manpower. Korean businessmen and Chu businessmen have a lot of such human resources. They can easily organize such a convoy. Those convoys carry goods from the port of Bangla, where there are a large number of ships. Unload a large amount of food. The Occupy Prussian country’s food is very limited. If there is a war, it may take more than a year for them to complete the food reserve work. However, in Taizhou, Myanmar. The Chu people’s food is piled up like a mountain, and the rice that is cooked three times a year makes the Chu people very happy. They used that kind of rice to brew rice wine, which made many Chu merchants a fortune, and there was a huge demand for alcohol overseas. However, more sugar and wine have been made by Koreans, and sugar and wine and rice wine have formed an alcohol collision between the two big countries. The emergence of a large number of alcoholic beverages shows that there is extremely sufficient food there. The Occupy Prussian countries need so much food because they have conducted a general mobilization throughout the country. With more than 120,000 troops gathered, they want to expand wildly. A large amount of food is needed, and the food in Taizhou and Myanmar meets their needs.

In addition, there are a large number of muskets madly appearing from Zhang Xiong Island. Although the artillery is very scarce, the muskets can greatly satisfy the army expansion behavior of the Occupy Prussia. The Bank of Korea provided a large number of bank loans to Zhanpu, and these bank loans soon flowed into the hands of merchants. Korean merchants provided a large amount of arms and food, as long as the Zhanpu people needed it, they would provide them.

The loan provided by the bank soon reached the hands of South Korean merchants, and Chu merchants also participated. The two share the bank loan. Then these loans enter the bank again. The last one who was in debt was Zhanpu, and then they borrowed again. As long as the war continues, they will continue to go on.

"Those businessmen can't wait. The spoils of Western Zhanpu have probably been divided by them." The captain shook his head and said.

"Will those trophies become merchants' commodities?" the lieutenant asked.

"Yes, those merchants are like flies, and wars will bleed. A lot of blood flowed out. The blood irritated the flies severely. They would bite the bleeding places frantically, and then they would become extremely The greed. They are the most terrifying people." said the captain.

The lieutenant did not understand. But he recorded such a thing. This was indeed the case, before Xizhanpu had yet to attack. Zhanpu has already sold a large amount of their trophies to South Korean merchants, as well as Chu merchants. Those Korean merchants and Chu merchants will madly exchange their muskets and liquor for those trophies.

"Very good, very good. These women. Can only give you a bucket of sugar and wine." A Korean businessman said excitedly. An Occupy Prussian officer shook his head, obviously not satisfying his appetite. He brought out a lot of women from the King's Palace in Western Zampo. South Koreans like these women very much. They will sell them to brothels, or places like Taizhou and Myanmar. Soldiers have such a demand and can bring great profits. Taizhou, Myanmar, they need a large number of women to reproduce the next generation. Chu people think so. Therefore, women can bring great opportunities for making money.

"Which one do I need." The officer continued. Then he handed some jewels, which were made of local natural pearls, ivory, and gold. The businessman nodded. The officer received a batch of arms. Those women were not dressed very ordinary, they probably came from the palace in Western Jhamp. But no one prevented these things from happening, because King Zhanpu had issued an order to allow soldiers to rob the city for three days while breaking the city.

The Zhanpu people got the Western Zhanpu, and the only real winner was the businessman, right. There may also be bankers, who are the biggest beneficiaries behind them. Because if the Occupy Prussia continues to war, they will need a lot of funds. Only banks can provide such a large amount of funds.

Jiaozhou, Qingcheng.

"The throughput of the port is increasing." Zhang Qing said as he walked. Qingcheng Finance Minister nodded.

"Yes, the transportation task is also very large, and the transportation price of horse-drawn carriages is still rising, mainly due to the slower railway construction," said the Minister of Finance.

"Slaves and women from Bangla, as well as all kinds of ivory, jewelry, gold, etc.. Spices and wood from Southeast Asia. Those that can be made of wood can make a good home. It is the most popular mahogany furniture recently." The Minister of Finance said.

"In addition, there are sulfur mines from Queen Island. Now the war is getting more and more serious. Zhangxiong Island in the south needs sulfur mines as gunpowder, and we need these sulfur mines to make sulfuric acid. I heard that Xinzheng's demand for this aspect has become It's extremely large." The Finance Minister explained. These coming and going trades on the wharf are huge financial revenues in Qingcheng. Although Qingcheng's tax revenue is very low, the amount is extremely large. They have established five such busy terminals, but they still cannot meet the demand for berthing and unloading of their merchant ships. Therefore, the Qingcheng government plans to expand three more large terminals in the next step.

"Well. Various domestic products and factory products from Wei are also shipped from here. Glass products from Zhao country, various parts and hardware products from Xinzheng, South Korea. Leather and garments from Wei country. , And muskets. They were all shipped out from here." Zhang Qing said.

"However, our situation is still not good." Zhang Qing said.

"Qingcheng still needs a lot of infrastructure, such as roads, and a lot of terminal facilities. The construction of railways is still very slow." Zhang Qing said.

"However, we have done well enough. Our financial funds are sufficient to do such things. However, the population of the city is expanding very quickly. According to our latest survey, the population may have exceeded one million." The Minister of Finance said .

"So our situation is still very bad. A city with a population of one million needs more things, a lot of security police, and a lot of various infrastructures, such as a lot of urban roads, lighting, Tap water, sewer pipes, etc." Zhang Qing said.

"It is very difficult to manage such a city. What I think is how to divert such a large population. Because the pressure is too great." Zhang Qing said.

"I have submitted such a plan. I hope that South Korea's Xinzheng side can consider passing my request." Zhang Qing said. The Minister of Finance was very puzzled.

"The great wealth that population can bring. Why do we spread such great wealth?" said the Minister of Finance.

"Because such a city is very difficult to manage. Of course there are great reasons for the emergence of super large cities, or they can bring great development, but don't forget. Such things. How much trouble it will cause us, We will need more resources to build this city. Even if we can do it greatly, it will take a lot of time. The development of the city is not a simple matter. To tell you the truth, I think South Korea is still Our Qingcheng, in the management of the city, does not have enough experience in this regard. This is a city with a population of one million, and various situations will arise. This situation has a huge influence. If we do not do well enough, the population On the contrary, it will bring more trouble." Zhang Qing said.

In fact, Zhang Qing is right to say that managing a city with a population of one million does require a lot of experience, and in this regard, even South Korea’s Xinzheng himself is not very good. First of all, they have never faced it. A city with such a huge population, and the gathering of such a large population is certainly due to the needs of factories. But they do not have the function of decentralizing the city. In addition, some major functions of the city have not been brought into play, and the city lacks more resources. Such as education, medical care, and more public facilities.

In Xinzheng, South Korea, there are still quite a lot of people living in shanty towns. Their houses are extremely simple and their living conditions are very poor. Although Korea has popularized compulsory education, they still have quite a few schools that exceed their own establishment. There are more than one hundred children in a class, and in the future, if this situation cannot be effectively improved, the situation will further deteriorate. But the government does not have more financial resources to do these things. The city is bigger. There will also be a lot of trouble.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

"I think Zhang Qing is right. We haven't dealt with such a huge urban population." Han Shu said with Zhang Qing's report.

"Think about the public security situation in Xinzheng, South Korea. A city with a population of more than one million requires at least more than 50,000 police officers. We simply cannot provide such many police posts. First of all, financial funds are not allowed to do so. In fact, we only have police officers of no more than 10,000 people who are maintaining law and order. The rest are handed over to the army, but the army is fighting, not the police. Therefore, this situation is not very good. "Han Shu said.

"Not only that, I heard that Handan Zhao is trying to change their shanty towns, which are their workers' housing estates. However, you can look at our situation. There are still many shanty towns and the sanitary conditions there are extremely bad. It is definitely not accidental that infectious diseases first concentrated in that place." Han Shu said.

"So, we still need to do a lot of things to change such a situation." Han Shu said.

“It can be said that we still lack experience in managing such a city with a population of one million. Qin’s city management is divided into districts. It is equivalent to Xianyang City, which is actually formed by several small cities equivalent to our county. And such a small city has divided many functions. For example, the main city is in Xianyang, where is the political and financial center of the Qin State, and in the suburbs, there are education respectively. There are a large number of university students there, and there are more scientific research centers. In this way, some factories are also scattered around, and they have planned well. In contrast, our situation is very bad. When we first came up, we just set up indiscriminately. Some factories were even set up near water sources. Ours Domestic water has been seriously polluted." Han Shu said. Zhang Liang could only nod his head when he heard it. In the past, Xinzheng's tap water was simply treated and transported to the main urban area. Later, after news reports of poor water quality, the water plant equipment was improved. But other areas can only rely on well water. There is no running water at all. Because there are few residential areas in the city, shanty towns cannot provide such much financial funds.

"So, on this issue, my idea is that we can divide our urban functions. My idea is to disperse the population. We should see that in many places, we still need a large number of people. For example, Queen Island, Zhang Xiong Island, and more colonies, they need more people from us, and here, the large-scale concentration of population has caused us a lot of urban troubles. Such troubles are a huge problem for us. The disaster. We still can’t manage such a large population, that is, a million urban population. It is a burden for us. Our small city is a city with a population of about 100,000. This kind of city is what we need most. Place." Han Shu immediately put forward the idea of ​​a city with a population of 100,000.

"Well, the rash migration of the population, I am afraid that it is difficult for them to agree?" Zhang Liang said.

"So, we can encourage, we can give them a lot of things they can't get here to encourage them to do so." Han Shu said.
