Meaningless quarrels usually don't solve the problem. Especially in the struggle for seats. Many people know that no one can let a seat belong to them just by paying lip service. The most important thing is strength, not words.

As a result, some bankers believe that this is not the time to pay lip service and that they should do something practical. For example, how to integrate their current resources.

"Our strengths are not very clear. In some businesses, we need others to do it together, and these resources are scattered, which is not good for our advantage, at least, we don't have an advantage to speak of. A banker from a medium-sized bank in the Qin Nation said.

"So ・・・・・." A middle-aged banker on the side asked at this time. He was desperate to know something concrete.

"So, we need to join forces. Combine our resources, combine your strengths with mine, and we will be able to form a whole new group, and this group will be greatly strengthened, and perhaps in this way, we will be able to fight for this seat. "This time. Said the first banker.

"Yes. Your idea is good. I'm interested, you're interested, we can talk. "This time. The middle-aged banker said.

"Yes. I thought, we can. The first banker readily agreed. He saw it as an opportunity. The crisis is extremely opportunity, and when facing new opportunities and challenges, if you can clearly understand the Tao and change your state, then it is very likely to seize this opportunity.

As a result, the bankers of the Qin State began to unite simply, although their purpose was simple, but this was indeed the first step taken by the banking circles of the Qin State. This may be the prototype of the earliest Qin syndicate model.

However, these things need to be slowly combined. It takes time, and a lot of things take time to get to a whole new situation.

In the south. The Chu State Navy has a brand new move.

"General, please see, this is a gunboat with twenty-eight guns newly built by our army." A general guided Xiang Yan and said.

"General, this running ship is loaded with twenty-eight Qin artillery. The range of these guns is very powerful. It can easily defeat any ships on the river today, including the iron-hulled ships of the Qin State. The general excitedly introduced.

"How's the staffing?" At this time, Xiang Yan asked.

"A warship is manned with between one hundred and fifty and two hundred people." The general said respectfully at this time.

"When will the ship be launched?" Xiang Yan asked again at this time.

"Three days at the earliest." The general replied.

"Can the personnel board the ship to fight?" Xiang Yan asked again at this time.

"It's going to take some time." The general replied.

"Yes." Xiang Yan stopped asking for a while, and Xiang Yan picked up his binoculars to check some of the situation of the warships being built not far away. The size of the warship is not much different from the size of some actual commercial ships, the main difference is that the warships are equipped with more weapons, while the merchant ships have fewer weapons.

"How many of these ships do we build?" At this time, Xiang Yan put down the binoculars in his hand and asked.

"Two." The general replied.

"Two?" Xiang Yan thinks that two ships are too few. After all, such warships need to be built on a large scale in order to form a huge combat effectiveness.

"Our army can only build two, and these two warships cost a lot of money. Our army can only afford two warships at the moment. The general replied at this time.

"Oh." After Xiang Yan heard the explanation, she was silent. He knows very well why the current Chu Navy can only build two warships, and the price of building such a warship carrying twenty-eight guns is naturally not ordinary, don't look at this warship is not much different from those merchant ships, but these warships need to sacrifice a lot of cargo hold because of the need to carry weapons, and at the same time, gun emplacements must be placed on both sides of the ship, and the price of artillery remains high, which is an important reason for the huge cost of warships.

"Is this all our army can do?" Xiang Yan asked at this time.

"Back to the general, our army can only do this, if you want to have absolute superiority, these warships must be equipped like this." The general replied.

"But the general is only dealing with those water pirates or ships on the river, and he doesn't have to do that." The general replied respectfully at this time.

"Oh. Let's take it into detail. Xiang Yan asked with a strong interest at this time.

"The current opponents of our army are mainly Qin's armed merchant ships, but the threat of these armed merchant ships is not very great. The Qin people did not pay much attention to ships. Although the state of Qin was strong. But sailing, it is still our Chu country that is doing it. The general said.

"Go on." Xiang Yan motioned for him to continue speaking at this time.

"Therefore, the last general believes that the biggest enemy of the current naval army is not the armed merchant ships of the Qin State, and the armed merchant ships of the Qin State are unreasonable and unreasonable, and there are legal restrictions, as long as the Chu State and the Qin State negotiate, they will definitely be able to solve this matter, but the key is that our Chu State Navy must have objective ships." At this time, the general said.

"Therefore, our army should work its strength." The general said.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Yan turned around and asked.

"Our army should work the Yangtze River and the waterways of the sea." The general said. Hearing this, Xiang Yan stopped walking and glanced back at the general of the navy. This general's answer coincided with some of Xiang Yan's thoughts, which made Xiang Yan feel very surprised.

"Do you have a plan?" At this time, Xiang Yan calmed down and asked.

"Our army can transform some merchant ships and turn them into warships. At the same time, our army can pretend to be water pirates, rob those ships, and then go to our army itself. The general suggested at this time.

"Yes." Xiang Yan nodded in agreement. He still approves of these.

"It's a feasible plan." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"But it needs to be done in secret, and outsiders can't know about it." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"The last will understand." The general replied at this time.

"Yes. It's good to understand. Xiang Yan said at this time.

"General, there is one more thing, according to the nomenclature of the Qin State. When a warship is launched, its warship must have a name, and two warships of our army are about to be launched, can there be a name? At this time, the general took the initiative to say.

"Yes." After Xiang Yan heard this, she nodded silently. Then I thought about it for a while.

"Let's call it the water army, the dumpling." At this time, Xiang Yan was not sure what kind of name he wanted, in his opinion, the name was just a name, and nothing else.

"Well, why don't you name the first warship Shuijiao?" The general asked at this time.

"Yes." Xiang Yan agreed.

"General Xie." The general replied respectfully at this time.

Xiang Yan was concerned about when his warship would be launched.

In this way, the first warship of the Chu State will be named "Shui Jiao". This is the "water jiao" of the Chu State. Class warship.

The state of Chu in the south is building warships. South Korea, which lives in the Central Plains, was not idle at this time, and in order to expand its overseas business, South Korea actively raised funds, and in order to build its own navy, they raised 200,000 gold of real gold. This has to be said to be a big deal.

Relying on these funds, South Korea will build ten large warships. Thirty-six guns were armed, in addition to ten medium-sized ships. Twenty-two artillery pieces were armed. The firepower is still strong.

Although construction has not yet begun, the funds are already in place. All countries are developing their own naval careers. Although most of them were still in their infancy, they were already determined to catch up with and surpass the Qin navy.

And in the country of Qi, the people of Qi are not so easy. At home, they were in a panic.

"Quick, close the gates." An officer of his army who was running in a hurry shouted loudly at this time. He roared loudly as he ran into the gate with a tired pace.

"Quick. The gates of the city were closed, and there were rioters outside the city. The officer said tiredly.

"Ahh The officials of the city gate heard such news at this time. I was shocked.

"Quick. Quick, close the gates. At this time, the officials guarding the city immediately shouted loudly.

"Whoa." When the soldiers heard such an order, they acted quickly.

"Disperse, disperse." This time. A soldier guarding the city gate shouted loudly.

"Woohoo." Then there was a dull sound at the gates.

"Whoa." At this time, the gates were closed.

"Everyone, go up to the castle tower and be on guard." The officials guarding the city shouted loudly. Some of the soldiers began to nervously pick up their weapons and enter their battle positions.

Soon the news spread to the palace of King Qi.

"What?" When King Qi heard the news at this time, he was very surprised, he didn't believe that the rebels could attack here at this time.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed true." A reported general bitterly told the King of Qi the unfortunate news.

"Bold, even to bewitch the public again." At this time, Hou Sheng on the side couldn't stand it.

"Come on, drag me down, behead, behead, behead, behead, beheading." Hou Sheng scolded loudly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the last general's words are true." At this time, the guards dragged the general away.

"Ahh A scream soon rang out.

"Your Majesty. Don't panic. At this time, Hou Sheng said comfortingly. Although, he didn't want to hear the news, it didn't mean that he didn't accept the news, in fact, Hou Sheng already knew the news a day ago, but he didn't expect it. Those chaotic people really dare to attack Linzi, this is really too incomprehensible. And it was beyond his expectations. You must know that Linzi is the largest city in Qi State, and its military defense is the most perfect. He didn't expect it. These rebels really dare to attack.
