946 Fight for Honor
In short, the capital expansion of the Qin state. In particular, the expansion of capital export will have a great and far-reaching impact on the six countries. This impact will intensify the process of economic integration. At a time when we are intensifying integration and using the economy to closely link the six countries together. And at that time, the unity will be more and more solid.
The credit for the export of capital lies in its destructive and reconstructive nature. Like what. Take South Korea, for example. Korea's previous economy was dominated by aristocratic fiefdoms and small-scale peasant economies with a certain arable land base. Relatively few people have lost their land. Because the average of land is closely related to the taxes of the state, as well as the various types of military service, labor service, and conscription.
The basis on which Qin was able to maintain such a strong national strength was that the cultivated land was in the hands of the peasants. The state's acts of war were able to afford the burden of these land-owning peasants.
But Shangwen's reforms have changed this traditional model. Not only changed the state of Qin. At the same time changed other countries. Like what. South Korea is.
This feudal land system was the basis of the entire feudal system. Shangwen accelerated the land annexation. And all the peasants who lost their land were channeled to the cities to serve as industrial workers. Land is centrally managed. Let the Qin state accelerate its transformation into a capitalist country.
Similarly, this kind of destruction of the original land system is being carried out in South Korea. Large-scale mergers and acquisitions of land. In particular, the new nobles who were able to borrow large sums of money from the Qin State Bank, these nobles were knights in Shang Wen's eyes, they were knights who had obtained their titles by virtue of their military exploits in the coup d'état, and their titles were more symbolic. Han Shu also knows. The cost of the state to provide for these knights was far greater than that of a large army, so he only gave a few titles. As for wealth. It's just a matter of tax convenience. and other policy accommodations are no longer managed. In order to let their children and grandchildren enjoy wealth. They had to carry out some asset management activities. These activities are investments, and they borrow money from banks in their home countries at the beginning. But soon Qinguo Bank infiltrated. Qin's borrowing was cheaper, and the interest rate and various services surpassed those of the country's banks. In addition, the investment atmosphere of the Qin State was prosperous. For a time, those knights used the capital of the Qin State to acquire and annex land on a large scale and became the new "landlords." "They began to run the farm according to the methods of the Qin state.
This is true of agriculture in South Korea, in terms of industry. The knights also took the initiative to enter the industrial system, they established the early factories of Korea, and the various actions of the knights were all participated in by the capital of the Qin State, not only that, but their actions allowed Korea to gradually expand rapidly towards capitalism. However, some people's interests have been obtained. Others have suffered losses. The large-scale annexation of land took a toll on the interests of the original aristocracy, who were politically disadvantaged. And there are so many losses in the economy, which makes them very hateful to the knightly class.
The contradictions between the two sides have further intensified, but South Korea is thriving. And the country is strong. This contradiction between the old and new aristocracy was temporarily hidden under this prosperous economic development. And the top leaders of South Korea themselves are not aware of this contradiction, they themselves feel that everything is fine.
Qin's capital ostensibly brought a great deal of wealth to Qin. But in reality, they are helping the countries they finance to establish a capitalist economic institutional order. This is the power of capital.
Not only in South Korea, but also in Zhao, as long as the country involved in the Qin State is involved in violent turmoil within the society. This upheaval comes from a potential change in society. And Qin's capital exports were accelerating this turmoil.
During the Warring States period, society was in sharp turmoil. Turbulence breeds opportunities. Whoever is good at seizing the opportunity has the potential to win the next challenge.
The more unstable the society. The more opportunities there are.
In the north of Yan Kingdom, there is a great opportunity for this. An offensive battle began.
A captain of the Zhao army walked in the trench with a revolver. The soldiers of the Zhao army standing in the trenches looked at the captain nervously.
The captain looked at the soldier without saying a word.
"Lieutenant, are you all ready?" The captain asked an equally nervous lieutenant.
"It's all set. It's almost a bayonet. I'm afraid. The lieutenant paused.
"Afraid of what?" The captain asked.
"People who are afraid of us. Nervous. The lieutenant said.
"Get on the bayonet, this kind of thing will come sooner or later." The captain said.
"Yes. Sir. The lieutenant replied.
"Lieutenant." The captain said.
"Our people, mostly veterans, have been through war. They are not afraid of war. Mainly, such a battle, we experienced it for the first time. It's normal for everyone to be a little nervous. We want to relax. The captain said.
"Yes, sir." The lieutenant replied with a stiff shoulder.
"You're a little nervous. Just relax. The captain said.
"Oh. Be. It's sir. The lieutenant replied.
"Alright. War is about to start. I'll be with you guys. The captain replied.
"Thank you, sir." The lieutenant replied.
"You know what?" The captain said.
"The soldiers of the Qin State have a sense of honor. Their sense of honor comes from their medals. We, the soldiers of the Zhao State, do not lack such honors. The captain said.
"Fight for honor." The captain said firmly.
"Fight for honor." The lieutenant whispered.
"Fight for honor." The lieutenant said forcefully to the captain.
"Prepare to get on the bayonet." The captain then gave the order.
"Get on the bayonet." The lieutenant waved his men to load their bayonets and start fighting.
"Get on the bayonet." The lieutenant's order was quickly conveyed in the trenches.
"Bang la la blah." The sound of a bayonet rushing out of its scabbard. The soldiers of the Zhao army drew their bayonets and loaded them with bayonets.
"Damn it. Why should we load bayonets. A Zhao Army veteran complained.
"Get on the bayonet. Nothing good will happen to fight bayonets. Another veteran silently put on his bayonet and said.
"We have cannons, why don't we use them." One recruit asked.
"You'll have to ask the officer." The veteran replied.
As he spoke, the soldiers inserted their bright bayonets into the bayonet mounts of their guns. And some soldiers with no combat experience were nervously shaking their rifles, and the rifles were shaken "click-click." "Rattle.
"Can you please not shake your goddamn gun." One of the soldiers said, nudging.
"I didn't shake." The soldier looked back.
"Damn, your gun is still shaking." The soldier in the back said.
"Really? I controlled. The soldier said as he controlled his rifle with both hands.
"Shut up, we're ready to charge." A second lieutenant officer walked over and said.
All of a sudden, the soldiers stopped talking. They were quietly waiting for orders.
And in the Zhao army headquarters. Major General Zhao Jun was also anxiously waiting for orders.
"We don't fire, can we?" The Major General asked.
"I think, yes, our artillery isn't very accurate. If you fire the cannon rashly, then attack. There is a good chance that our own people will be killed. Colonel Yan Guo said.
"Yes. Makes sense. The major general replied.
"Hopefully we can succeed." The Major General said to himself. To be honest, this is the first time he has encountered such a war. Moreover, it was this multi-arms attack that launched.
And Colonel Yan Guo was also very nervous. After all, this is an attack of tens of thousands of people. The largest of their previous exercises was only a few thousand people. That kind of battle is a bit laborious to command.
"The time is almost up." The major general looked at his watch at this time and said.
"Yes. The time is almost up. Major General Zhao Jun also said nervously.
Subsequently. No one in the command tent spoke anymore. They're all slowly consuming their time. Now for them. Time is superfluous.
"Alright. The time is almost up. We're going to send sappers. The captain in the trench waved his hand.
"Sappers. Above. The captain said, waving.
"Boom. Bang la blah. "A group of sappers with shovels, pliers, and other tools crawled out of the trenches.
"The sappers are out." A veteran said.
"The sappers made a way for us. Looks like we're going on the offensive. Everyone is ready. A veteran said.
"There is barbed wire in front. That's our own. One recruit said.
"Yes, it's because it's our own, that's why we have to be careful. If you dismantle the barbed wire yourself, then it will be time for the war to start. The Qi army will defend against our attack. The veteran said.
"Ready." The veteran said as he brought the gun to the trench. Make it look like you're ready to go out at any time.
The sappers, who had already moved forward quickly, were carefully dismantling the defensive obstacles they had built themselves. From the beginning, the Allies were on the defensive, and they needed to constantly gather forces. Now they have gathered enough troops.
But at the beginning, in order to prevent the other side from attacking, they arranged a large number of defensive obstacles at once. The barbed wire fence pulled up a lot. The Qi army did not fail to take the initiative to launch a decent attack. They are attacking Yandu City. There is no time to take care of the opponent. And the Allies did go defensive at first. Now just wait for the battle to begin.
Zhao's sappers were nervously dismantling the barbed wire fence they had laid themselves. And the Qi army on the opposite side was not idle at this time, and they even sent sappers to carefully dismantle the barbed wire fence on the Zhao army's offensive position. Both sides thought of a piece and went.
Zhao Jun wanted a night sneak attack. This can hit the opponent hard. And Qi Jun also wanted to use the cover of night to give the opponent a look. Makes it impossible for the opponent to launch a larger attack. Sappers on both sides are nervously dismantling the barbed wire fence to open the way for their follow-up troops.
