2377 Governor-General
"These native soldiers can solve such a problem, but the way the local is managed, I think, the king should have made a decision earlier, the number of native soldiers is small, and the development of the situation cannot be controlled, if there is too much development. The native soldiers will become important members of the overseas army, and how to control them, and how to make our officers control those native soldiers, has become very urgent. Zhang Liang said worriedly.
"Hmm. The number of native soldiers may exceed 20,000 men, which requires the establishment of more than ten regiments, and we have only one regiment at most in Mengla, that is, one soldier has to control ten native soldiers, so the more and more the number of native soldiers, the more difficult it is for our forces to be concentrated. Han Shu said worriedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if it is suppressed, it may be better, but if the Turkish soldiers riot, the situation will be very unfavorable to us, and the situation will make us even more out of control." Zhang Liang said. Han Shu nodded, for such a situation, Han Shu was mentally prepared. After all, such a thing. It is related to the development of Korea's overseas trade,
"The minister believes that South Korea should set up a military system with military power and political power overseas, such a military system, on the one hand, can strongly control the taxes of overseas countries, so that they can arrive here as soon as possible, and make our South Korea's financial situation better." Zhang Liang said.
"On the other hand, we can control the soldiers, to achieve the goal of controlling the entire native army system, the more native soldiers, the more soldiers we control, and the soldiers can effectively control those native soldiers, establish our own trade system in South Korea, and then it is extremely beneficial to us." Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. It's just that, how do those soldiers control the native soldiers? Han Shu asked curiously.
"Soldiers can select a large number of officers to command those native soldiers, so that those native soldiers can feel the presence of officers, and at the same time promote some soldiers to be sergeant majors, control native soldiers, and select soldiers who are affectionate to us in Korea among the native soldiers, so that we can effectively divide the native soldiers and achieve the situation of controlling the native soldiers. Native soldiers can only be soldiers, not officers, and we give them salaries, and we absolutely cannot give them the rights of officers. Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. It's a very good way. But how do we control the military, you have to know that the military has a lot of fiscal and tax rights, and there is a large number of troops, and they can tax them locally. That's not a good thing for us. "Han Shu is still very worried about military power, after all, if he doesn't do it well, he will devour himself in turn. She didn't want that to happen, it would be terrible and uncontrollable. She didn't want anything like that.
"We can control these areas by controlling the logistics and supply, and by controlling the navy. In addition, the officers were selected from our military academy, which was not very difficult, and most importantly, it was difficult for them to launch a large-scale rebellion without the support of our Korean government. Zhang Liang said. As long as you control the navy, you can control overseas areas, and these areas can continue to expand, this is Zhang Liang's strategy, although this strategy does not seem to be very clever. But it's very effective.
"Okay. I see what you're thinking. We can do it this way. In my opinion, the military regime will set up a governor, and after the tax is collected. They are going to pay half of the tax revenue to the South Korean government. In that case, our situation will be much better. The situation of railway construction will be greatly improved. Han Shu nodded and said.
West Coast. In a temporary port, there were other merchant ships berthed in this port, but most of them were Korean merchant ships, and there were some slave ships of the Chu State. They came from the Western continent.
"The latest situation. The South Korean government has signed a peace agreement with the Bangladeshians, and peace has come. Zhang Ye said with a telegram.
"Hmm. I know. Zhang Guang nodded and said.
"The problem is, we haven't reached Bangla yet. And. How to control the trade of the entire Western Ocean is what we are considering, but we do not have a good way to solve such a problem now. Zhang Guang frowned in thought.
"Well, I've been learning about the situation recently, and it's coming from inside South Korea, that is, the Banglas need a lot of arms, and I think this is an important opportunity for us to control the arms trade and achieve our goal of controlling the Mongla trade. As for why the Menglans need so many muskets, I think, we don't know yet, but, for sure, they need so many muskets, as long as we control this, we can achieve the goal of controlling Mengla. Zhang Ye said.
"Go on." Zhang Guang nodded and said.
"On the other side, the West Coast needs a lot of slaves, and the demand for slaves is far greater than we think, and they produce a lot of agricultural products, from grain, to sugar cane, and the demand is our greatest need. We can take these things and transport them to the north in exchange for a lot of revenue. As long as we control these points, it's fine. Slaves, agricultural products. Shipping. Zhang Ye said.
"Your idea is very good, but it is not enough to open up the situation at the moment, and if we want to open the situation, we have to control it with the government. Especially with the local garrison, we need to control the situation. Zhang Guang said. Their purpose is how to open up the situation. The Western Trading Company has just taken over here, and they don't know exactly what will happen on the Western continent.
It is still difficult for the Korean Western Trading Company to open the situation of Mengla in the first place, probably because Mengla is too far away. Very little is known about him. Although submarine cables have helped them to establish a communication system, people can quickly understand what is happening in Bangla, but it still takes a lot of time to solve the problem quickly, and it is definitely not a problem that can be solved all at once.
Qin State, Xianyang.
"The Northern Alliance is very uninterested in the plan of absorbing and absorbing the northern tribes. Because it would cost them a lot of financial money to do so, and they still lack a lot of financial resources, and in such a situation, it will be difficult for them to absorb these tribes. Meng Yi said.
"Why?" Shang Wen asked why.
"The reason for this is simple, because by doing that, the tribes are not going to do anything, they are unlikely to know more, they have more skills, and these require training. On the contrary, because of the absorption of a large number of tribes. They need to spend a lot of time training them. Or to provide more facilities to improve their living conditions, which is another financial fund, at present, in the absence of financial funds from the governments of the Eastern and Western Mongolian states of the Northern Union, I am afraid that this is not very good. Meng Yi said.
"They don't want to pay for that. Is that right? Shang Wen asked.
"Yes, that's what it means, but that's changing. I think we should adjust it, and maybe we can find other ways to solve this problem. Meng Yi said.
"Hmm. I know. We'll take care of that. Shang Wen said.
"Another thing, that is, the attack of the Yue Clan has begun. They were able to take the fortress built by the Indians in two hours, without the use of heavy mortars, and the situation went much smoother than we thought. Maybe it's because the Indians don't have gunpowder weapons. Their resistance seemed very weak. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Oh." Meng Yi said.
"Chief Meng, in the report, the white phosphorus grenade was specifically mentioned, and they said that the power of the white phosphorus grenade has accelerated the possibility of breaking through the fortress." Meng Yi said.
"Oh." Shang Wen was a little surprised, this was the first time he had heard of the white phosphorus grenade being applied to the actual battlefield, and the power of the new weapon allowed them to solve many problems.
"That's a good thing." Shang Wen said with a smile.
State of Qin. Inside the Xianyang Palace.
"White phosphorus grenades." King Qin looked at the telegram sent from the front and said.
"Zhao Gao, do you know this white phosphorus grenade?" King Qin asked Zhao Gao.
"This. Back to the king. The old slave didn't know. I am afraid that this is a new type of weapon researched by the Ministry of Defense. Zhao Gao replied cautiously.
"Hmm. The Ministry of Defense of the Qin State specializes in this, and they can always develop some new weapons. The widow thinks. Is this weapon publicized. Let the countries also take a look, so that they don't think that if the Qin army has not updated its new equipment, they don't know what it means to be powerful. King Qin said disapprerovingly. King Qin is like a child, he likes to come up with new things to deter others, and while deterring others, he hopes that such weapons can attract the attention of others, after all, this can effectively warn those who pose a great threat to Qin.
"Whoa." Zhao Gao nodded. The Qin State already has a lot of technology that cannot be surpassed. Taking out new weapons will only cause panic among many countries, because they really don't have the ability to deal with Qin's new weapons.
Behind the Indian line. A large number of cavalry had already entered the area, and they would first move south, as fast as they could, and then spin westward, turning to attack the rear of the opposing fortress line. That's the hob plan, but they're going to hit the targets they can see over and over again.
"Damn the captives, they've stopped us from moving forward." Major General Goth scolded in annoyance. The Indian captives were moving slowly and loosely, their faces did not show nervousness, some people were relaxed, because the Yue's cavalry did not kill them, although the Yue's cavalry was very small, they were extremely fierce, they killed a lot of people who escaped, and those who escaped were brutally killed, in order to avoid such a thing, many people chose to be silent, or cooperate with their actions, because in their opinion, it is very important to save their lives.
"Let them all roll to both sides, and if they stand in our way, we will kill them." Gothic orders to.
"Get out of here, get out of here." After receiving the order. A group of gendarmes brandished their sabers to clear the way. They were the best cavalry, and those captives who did not know what to do were cut down at once by the cavalry that rushed at them. Surprised, the Indic soldiers finally knew what they had to do. They obediently hid on both sides. Killing can make these captives how to accept the orders of the Yueshi people.
However, the Yueshi people will not kill them all. Because the captives were also part of the spoils of war, the Yue government was poor, and they still needed a lot of money to complete the increase in fiscal revenue.
On the other side, Captain Gran encountered his first problem.
"Sir, with so much food, it seems that this should be a warehouse for Indians." A lieutenant officer reported.
"Indeed, such a large amount of food is enough for our army to last for a long time." Captain Gran said.
"But, sir, are we still pursuing the enemy? It will be difficult for us to hold this place if there are fewer people, and if the Indians counterattack, we. The lieutenant said in embarrassment.
"Hmm. That's true. Captain Glenn said, looking at a lot of grain. When they were attacking, they received such an order. Raise as much food as possible, because the rear needs a lot of food, and the demand for food is very large.
But the Indians were still ahead, and Gran thought about pursuing the opponents, but they were only a hundred people, and he was only a cavalry company. But if he stays defensive, he doesn't want to see that happen, because staying behind will make him miss the opportunity to attack.
"Sir, we've been on the chase for a day. The horses were tired. Everybody's tired, and I think we should take a break and hold on here. The lieutenant said.
"Hmm. You're right. Take a break, I'll give you two platoons of men, the rest follow me, and I'll pursue the enemy. Captain Glenn said at this point.
"Sir, this, that's crazy. If you do this, the commander will be very dangerous, and if you encounter a large-scale enemy, we will be killed. The lieutenant said worriedly.
"I know. But the enemy was already very afraid. They simply did not think that we would go beyond the fortified fortresses. Now is the best time to pursue them. A cowardly enemy will not attack, and I have given you so many troops because this food is very important to us. Food is no less important for those besieged enemies. Hold on to them. Captain Glenn said. And then he just got out of here, and he had a lot of things to work out.
"It's crazy. It's crazy. The lieutenant said.
Qi country. Inside the Tayoko Headquarters.
"According to the news of the recent arrival of our ships. Korean merchant ships were involved in transporting Goguryeo supplies, and Koreans may have been involved in the Peninsular War. An officer said.
"Damn it. Koreans are involved all the time. "Tian Heng hated the Koreans very much, not only because of this incident, but also because of Jiaozhou, which they occupied without the knowledge of Qi State.
"Sir. Chief Lou has something important for you. An officer anxiously came in and said to Tian Heng.
"I'll go see him. You continue to negotiate a good outcome, and we will suppress the actions of the Koreans. Tian Heng said. But the officers didn't think so, because Qi and South Korea did not declare war, how to suppress, the most important thing is that they do not have such military strength to suppress each other at all, but the other side has the South Korean naval force to support it, what is behind them, there is no Qi navy, do you want Qi to use a few fishing boat-like ships to carry out.
"General, the blockade order on the border of Jiaozhou in Qi must be lifted. This has too much influence on our Qi country. Lou Jing's first sentence after seeing Tian Heng was like this.
"Why. Those Qi people kept going south, and they were helping the Koreans to build Jiaozhou. Tian Heng said a little narrowly.
"However, the general can't sell the oil of our Qi country. The Koreans are also extracting oil in Jiaoju, and they are extracting oil at several times faster than ours. We don't have a competitive advantage in the first place, and if we lock it down, we won't have a competitive advantage. Lou Jing said.
"Besides, along the way, I also checked the situation at the border, and those Qi people who went to the south went to survive in order to survive. If we go to Jiaozhou, they can find a job, which can bring great benefits, if we adopt a lockdown order at this time, it will directly lead to those Qi people who have a home and cannot go back, and it will push the Qi people to Koreans. This is beneficial to the South Koreans, but the Qi country is powerless, even if the blockade order can be implemented steadily, the situation in the Qi country will not change much. Lou Jing said.
"Dredging is far more useful than blocking. We should dredge them, if they can go to Qi and pay a certain amount of taxes when they come back, I think, this will increase the financial revenue of Qi country. The country of Qi has been built. In order to attract those Qi people back, they have technology and capital, and they can better build Qi country. Lou Jing said.
"If the lockdown continues. Neither country is in a good situation. Lou Jing said.
"Hmm." Tian Heng hesitated.
"The lifting of the lockdown has given us access to more technology from South Korea, and South Korea has a big advantage in this regard. For example, shipbuilding technology. Lou Jing said.
"That's right. Look at this. Tian Heng handed a report to Lou Jing as he spoke. After Lou Jing took a quick look.
"The involvement of South Koreans in the situation on the peninsula is not good for us." Tian Heng said.
"At present, we should strengthen our control over the peninsula, lift the blockade order and negotiate with the Koreans, and introduce advanced technology, if the current situation is followed, the Koreans will attack, and Qi does not even have a navy. There is simply no way to solve such a problem. Lou Jing said very clearly.
"This. Think about it. I'm thinking about it. Tian Heng hesitated. He didn't want to give South Korea a chance to develop. Lou Jing looked at Tian Heng. I feel a little helpless, the blockade is not good for the country, and it is not good for South Korea, this is a situation where no one can win, and the most unfavorable is the country. Because the Qi country is already very closed.
