735 Quadruple Conference
After Shang Wen and his entourage arrived in Handan, Zhao State, they were warmly greeted by Guo Kai in person. On the platform of the railway station, there are not only the parade troops of the Zhao army, which are the royal guards of the king of Zhao, they are all dressed in green military coats and adopt a long cap design, which can cover the hair accessories of the ancients. In addition to this hat, there are also berets that can also be used for effective covering.
A green military coat is paired with white military pants. Coupled with the black long leather boots, the soldiers of the Zhao army raised their heads majestically to look at Shang Wen, accepting Shang Wen and the simplicity of the eldest princess of the Qin State.
However, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Guo's review still lacks some military music, and Zhao Guo still lacks a certain professional music organization in this regard, especially a professional music team. For new instruments, Zhao Guo was late in accepting them, and most of the specialized musical talents were mainly concentrated in the royal family. Moreover, the music is mainly based on court music, unlike the existence of a large number of folk artists like the Qin State. Even professional military music is extremely monotonous with drums, horns, and gold. Other forms are few.
Therefore, when Shang Wen was reviewing, he felt a very cold feeling. However, the soldiers inspected by the Zhao army were still very powerful, at least they were full of energy. This is Shang Wen's own opinion. Because he is a civil official, he can't see anything good or bad at all.
And Yingyu on the side can see some doorways.
"Those Zhao Jun are all showmen." Yingyu said disdainfully.
"Flower shelf, I think it's very good." Shang Wen said.
"What. Have you ever seen a soldier who can fight a war with white skin? Yingyu asked.
"Commander, isn't he?" Shang Wen said.
"No, I'm talking about the soldiers at the bottom, and if it's a soldier at the bottom, especially those who fight, they will have different eyes and different feelings." Yingyu said.
"What are you talking about?" Shangwen asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, it's a feeling that they can feel that they have fought and killed people. Anyway, I can't tell you. Yingyu said proudly.
"Oh. Killed people, have you killed! Shang Wen suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, let's count it as killing, at least I'm not afraid of blood." Yingyu said.
"What do you mean by killing? I'm so scared of you. Shang Wen said.
"Hey, hey. Just know that you're afraid. So, you can only be good to me in the future. If you have two hearts. I'll kill you. Yingyu said.
"Whew." Shang Wen exhaled. He understands Yingyu as a person. Because a woman who has killed people can still be so calm in her heart. Then this woman is not simple. At the very least, you can stay strong in life. Shang Wen wanted to get along with such a woman. I feel that the future of the future is not a little bright.
The two were talking in a carriage like this, and Yingyu chattered out the window, talking about the difference between Zhao and Qin Xianyang. Overall, it's a lot of depreciation. Less praise. After all, there is a big difference in the strength of the two countries. Moreover, due to the huge impact of the economic strength of the Qin State in Handan during this period, many new things happened, and these things had a great impact on the Zhao State. Especially in terms of social structure. The ups and downs are huge. Therefore, Zhao Guo in this matter seems to be very chaotic.
Subsequently, Shang Wen and Yingyu lived in the Qin concession area, where there was a special office and embassy of the Qin State. In the concession area, it is relatively close to the development level of Xianyang in the Qin State. Because the administration here is the same as that of those states in the Qin State. Very loose economic policies, low taxes, and the use of new technologies. These all made the Qin people who came here feel like Guanzhong.
However, one thing that needs to be pointed out is that there are still a large number of Zhao people here. Because some social needs also require a large number of practitioners to enter, such as the dredging of sewer pipes, the delivery of milk and newspapers, and the washing of clothes, the people of Qin have become accustomed to the existence of these basic convenience services. And these needs, but also generated a large number of work needs, many Zhao people are very willing to work in the concession area of the Qin State, working there not only to earn a lot, but most importantly, to learn a technology, for example, sewer pipes can learn welding, pipe laying technology, etc. Washing, we will operate various machines and equipment. If you deliver a newspaper, you can read some words, and then you can learn some other knowledge, and you can find a clerical job if you know how to write a word. The job is generally very decent.
Or work for a trading company in the Qin State. Running back and forth laid the foundation for his own business. Many apprentices have made their fortunes here, and there are many opportunities. As long as you know that it is cheap to buy from there and then find a buyer, business is generally easy to make. The state of Zhao was in a period of great development of social change. This period of development brings a lot of changes, but it also brings a lot of opportunities. These opportunities are in the wealth story of an era long ago.
In the days that followed, Shang Wen and Yingyu took a car to check the streets of Handan. The streets of Handan are not interesting either. And it's dirty, messy, and the traffic conditions are very bad. The carriage stopped and went, and the roads of Zhao were not wide, and the people of Zhao were fierce, so many people solved problems on the road instead of giving in to each other, which aggravated the deterioration of the road conditions.
Shang Wen and Yingyu originally wanted to turn around Handan, but not long after they drove out of the door, they were stuck in the road. The angry Yingyu pulled out her gun and wanted to go out to fire a warning shot. Fortunately, Shang Wen stopped him in time. If you don't let it, you have to cause a big thing. In the end, Shang Wen asked Zhao Jun's guards to take a detour back to be counted. However, Zhao Guo should solve the road traffic situation.
These are not the point, the focus is on Guo Kai's inauguration. These are some things on the charter, and the inauguration ceremony of the prime minister was carried out in accordance with the etiquette established by Zhao Guo in advance. King Zhao first issued an edict, and then gave Guo Kai the official certificate of the prime minister of Zhao State. Then there were congratulations and greetings from civil and military officials, followed by congratulations from envoys from various countries. It's all empty and boring. It's boring, but it can't be shown. After all, this is a formal occasion, and it is also a national event of a country. There is no room for sloppiness in this.
However, on the day of Guo Kai's inauguration, the news that the army of Yan was completely wiped out reached the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Han, and Yan. The news first came from the reporters of the tabloid news of the Qin State. Subsequently, the Yan side could not be determined. However, the Qin State Observation Mission confirmed the information without any certainty. It's a miracle that such a force has been able to hold out until now.
"It would be nice if that army didn't disband itself halfway through." The military observers of the Qin State Military Observer Group said. For grapevine, they will confirm without confirmation.
After the military observer mission confirmed, the news quickly spread from country to country, especially by telegram, and in Qin it could also be disseminated by telephone. This news came, which meant that Yan Guo had lost its last armed force. In other words, there was no longer any armed force between the capital of Yan and the Qi army that could put up effective resistance.
Then next, as long as the Qi army continues to advance and advance, it can occupy the entire Yan Kingdom. Because there are no other armed forces in the Yan Kingdom anymore. Even with the prince's army, it would not be able to save the Yan state, because the prince's army was conducting intensive training in the Guanzhong region of the Qin state. Although the recruitment process is going well, after all, the personnel are not fully in place. And although Zhao Guo carried out an iron fist military exercise. However, there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the troops and that of the Qi army.
When the news came. The envoy of the Yan Kingdom couldn't sit still. They kept in touch with Shang Wen, Guo Kai, the new prime minister of Zhao State, and Zhang Liang of South Korea, and they hoped that these countries would be able to lend help. As long as assistance is given, everything is negotiable.
Not only that, Yan Guo also constantly sought the help of the bankers of the Qin State, but the bankers were in a wait-and-see attitude. Or maybe they're actively walking around Xianyang. Because the bank once lent Yan Guo a large amount of money.
Taking into account all factors, Shang Wen decided to urgently convene a four-nation meeting in Handan, Zhao State. The purpose of the meeting was mainly to discuss how to solve the Yan State problem.
"I very much hope that all countries can send troops as soon as possible, you know, there is no force between the Qi army and our capital to resist the advance of the other side." Ji Xin said anxiously.
"We also know that the crux of the problem is that we can't move the troops in time now. It takes a lot of time to mobilize troops. Moreover, I have only just taken up my post today. Guo Kai said.
This is indeed the case in Zhao Guo. However, Guo Kai also has another meaning, that is, Yan Guo wants to send troops as soon as possible. Then Zhao Guo must get the actual benefits.
"This is an opportunity for the war to be ordered by a large number of people. Seeing that Qin Guo was so busy holding meetings, I felt that there must be huge interests in this. Zhang Liang said to his assistant.
South Korea does not yet know what specific agreements are going to be made between Qin and Zhao. But this matter must have something to do with Yan Guo. And there is a huge connection of interests. However, the Republic of Korea is now participating in this meeting. Then South Korea wants to get involved. Especially the war in the Yan Kingdom. War is not just about people, but also about people. In particular, the supply of light industrial products. South Korea has an advantage in this regard, there are a large number of factories processing quilts in the Sinzheng area of South Korea, and there are also some food processing plants, where some canned food, canned food, sausages, biscuits, instant noodles and so on are mainly produced. And these things are closely related to war. With that in mind, South Korea wants to get involved as well. In particular, the issue of military logistics and supply of the Yan State. That would bring a lot of military orders to South Korea. These orders are enough to give South Korea a boost to the economy.
