Regarding the fact that the five countries including the Ice Kingdom were coming to attack the Chu State, Qin Ming didn't care too much about it at all.

Whether they attack or not, it doesn't have much impact on Qin Ming at all.

The State of Chu, which has countless bombs, will not be afraid of battle at all now, even if it is the 5 or five superpowers in the southwest, the State of Chu does not take it seriously.

So when he first heard the news, Qin Ming didn't react much, but said calmly:

"Pass the order to the Ministry of War and Marshal Xue Rengui, if there is a foreign enemy attacking, I will fight back fiercely and fight the prestige of my Chu State."

After the order was handed down, the military headquarters immediately began to dispatch all kinds of materials needed for war readiness.

Today's Chu State is already a big grain country, and the grain reserves are unimaginable.

A wide variety of food with everything you need.

Not to mention that it is provided to more than one million soldiers and nearly two million soldiers, that is, the people of the whole country do nothing, and they only eat food every day, and they have to eat it, and they don't know how many years it will take to consume it.

Moreover, food production continues in every place, and the reserve of grain has reached an astonishing amount.

Therefore, there is no need to transport grain and grass from other places, and in some places at the border gates, the local county seats, the grain reserves are enough for a war.

As for weapons, not to mention.

The current state of Chu has developed a rocket on the basis of the original bomb, that is, a small bomb is tied to the arrow of a bow and arrow or a large bow and crossbow.

After igniting the bomb, shoot the bow and arrow, even if the bow and arrow do not hit the enemy, as long as the bow and arrow are close to the enemy, the power of the explosion is enough to kill enemies within a few meters.

There are also some terrifying weapons, which are a normal bomb with a layer of iron wrapped around it, and a finger-sized steel ball is attached to the iron sheet.

Once the iron egg explodes, the power generated by itself can also kill all the people within a distance of more than ten meters, and the power of the explosion will blow up a layer of steel balls and iron eggs wrapped outside, and it can kill some people without purpose.

With these reinforced bombs, the firearms battalion is more diverse in combat than it was to simply rely on cannon barrels and bombardiers to use bombs.

If the five countries such as the Ice Kingdom really had a lot of trouble to attack the Chu State, Qin Ming wouldn't mind using these extended bomb weapons in this battle.

It just so happens that it can also allow all the countries in the southwest to take a good look at the strength of the Chu State.

Don't say all day long that Chu is just an economic power, everyone thinks that Chu is nothing but the economy and the military.

In fact, Qin Ming hoped that this war would really start, so that Chu could truly have the deterrent power of a powerful country.

At the same time, it also makes everyone understand that the economy is very important, and if the economy of Chu is strong, the military strength will be strong.

This is absolutely true.

Because the money that a country needs for the army is absolutely exaggerated, whether it is the savings of armaments, or weapons and armor, as well as grain, grass and food, or the wages of soldiers, it is a very large expense.

This expenditure is the embodiment of a country's economy, if the economy is good, it is naturally not a problem, you can easily raise more than a million troops, and you can also provide supplies and everything you need at any time.

If the economy is not good, there is not enough money, and the soldiers may not be able to pay their salaries, and sometimes even food is a problem, let alone fighting.

Throughout the ages, what poor country with no money could sustain a large-scale battle?

Of course, rich countries can support the needs of the army, but in order to win, they also need to be strong in the army.

Obviously, the army of Chu has always been strong, with Xue Rengui's training, the soldiers of Chu can all be called elite soldiers, especially some generals, who are personally trained and instructed by Xue Rengui, and each leader has a high attainment in fighting.

So in the area of soldiers, Qin Ming definitely has strong self-confidence.

Especially in the past few years, the state of Chu has never suffered defeat, not to mention, they still have ace weapons such as bombs, and the confidence of the soldiers is also very strong.

Therefore, if it is really a fight, no matter what aspect it is, the Chu State will definitely have an advantage.

And after Qin Ming's order was handed down, all parts of the border pass quickly began to send troops to garrison.

Nearly a million soldiers were quickly in place and ready for all precautions.

At this time, the Ice Kingdom and the other four countries began to study how to attack the Chu State.

In this respect, they are already lagging behind a lot.

It is a bit ironic that everyone in the Chu State is ready for battle, but you have not yet started to attack.

During the period when the Five Kingdoms were preparing to attack the Chu State, the Chu State directly cut off all trade and trade with the Ice Kingdom and the other four countries.

After all, it has been rumored that the five countries are going to fight with Chu because of commercial and trade matters, and it is impossible for Chu to continue to maintain commercial relations with them.

The merchants of Chu were also very conscious, and as soon as Chu gave the order, none of the merchants had any business dealings with these five countries.

Before the real fight began, from the economic part, it had already made the five countries such as the Ice Country begin to be frustrated, and the merchants and people of these five countries began to be dissatisfied, and the merchants were used to cooperating with the trade of the Chu State, and the Chu State now suddenly cut off trade with them because of the war, which made them have no economic resources.

However, this did not have the slightest impact on the state of Chu, because the market of the state of Chu was all the countries in the entire southwest.

They don't trade with these five countries, and when they turn around, businessmen from other countries will rush to cooperate with them, even if they can make a little less money.

Not many businessmen care.

In addition, in these five countries, including the Ice Country, the people are also very angry, they have been using all kinds of tools and delicacies imported from the Chu State for a long time, and some commercial industries, but now everything in the Chu State does not produce trade imports with these five countries, which makes the people of these five countries have been affected in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Scholars can't buy relatively cheap books from the merchants of Chu State, and those who love food can't eat all kinds of snacks brought by merchants of Chu State.

The young people who had saved enough money and wanted to buy bicycles found that the bicycles of the Chu State were no longer exported to their five countries, and they could not buy them.

This made them very disappointed, there are many, many such cases, in short, the sudden cessation of commerce and trade, so that the five countries did not fight before the crisis.

Now, there are only two paths before the five countries.

First, continue to fight to the death, attack the Chu State, and then divide everything in the Chu State, then these technologies will belong to their five countries in the future.

This is the best result for them, and the second is to admit their mistakes now, ask for forgiveness from Chu State, and make corresponding apologies and compensation, and continue to maintain cooperation with Chu State.

And obviously, since they have chosen to fight with Chu from the beginning, and the consequences have been caused, then in their opinion, there is no way back.

This road is destined to go dark, which is exactly what Qin Ming wants to see.

So in the future, a war will inevitably break out.

At the same time, the armies of the five countries also really set off.
