Although Shang Wen could understand the marginalization crisis, he did not know what this marginalization crisis consciousness would bring to the Qin State. In particular, some of the academic achievements brought about by the historical research of the Qin State have created that the Qin State can use a third point of view to look at history, for example, the civilization of the Xiongnu and the civilization of the Yueshi people, and the Qin State can look at the behavior of the Qin people themselves through the views of these people, which gives the Qin State a sense of self-reflection.

It is precisely with this sense of self-reflection that Qin has this kind of marginalized rise of academic rhetoric, which will provide an excuse for Qin's continuous outward expansion in the future, because this excuse is always so absurd, there are still stronger than Qin in the outside world, and Qin should be wary of those weak civilizations. Because maybe one day these weak civilizations will swallow up the civilization of the Qin people. The effect of this crisis-conscious politics is that they are driven by some kind of commercial interest. Then a strange circle is formed. Shangwen feels this way, but now is not the time to mature.

Subsequently, the whole Qin State began to have a New Year's atmosphere. However, for the Chinese New Year, some astronomers have begun to recommend the use of January as the first month. Due to the advent of mechanical clocks and watches, coupled with the advent of various astronomical instruments, astronomers in the Qin State could accurately calculate time. There are still some errors, but this is a big step forward. But this practice of using January as the first month is obviously astronomical and has little to do with the living habits of the Qin people. But. There is one person who thinks that it is a bit good for January to become the first month.

"Hey, idiot, have you heard? Astronomers suggested that my father change January to the first month. The father said that it was ordained by the first king. It can't be changed. Yingyu said.

"What's this?" Shang Wen said disdainfully. It's just a festival.

"However, I think it's a good thing to change, at the very least, autumn doesn't look like a holiday tradition. What to set off a fireworks, pay attention to fire prevention or something. If it's January, if it snows that day, you don't need to prevent fire. Also, you can have snowball fights. How nice it is to go out and walk in the snow. Yingyu said excitedly.

"Well, it's really good, and a little snow does smell like the New Year. It's so cold outside, at home, with family, how warm it is. Shang Wen said.

"Yes." Yingyu nodded.

"That's right. Don't you go to the palace to accompany your father during the Chinese New Year? Shang Wen said a little abruptly. Because Shang Wen is a little inappropriate in his use of words. But the two of them are used to it. So it has not yet been perceived.

"Not for you. You're alone, on duty in this office. How boring. Yingyu said.

"Yes, yes, there is no TV, there is no Internet. It's not Christmas either. Shang Wen said.

"What TV, what net. What is the feast of saints. What is that festival? Yingyu asked.

"Oh. That's something that's going to come later. That festival? It's something that takes the opportunity to give a gift. It is to secretly stuff the gifts in the socks and hang them under the Christmas tree. Shang Wen said.

"Hey, hey. That's interesting. Giving a gift and stuffing it in a smelly sock, you guys are so funny. Yingyu said.

"It's funny that the tree, cut down, is covered with colored lights." Shang Wen said.

"What kind of sacred tree is that?" Yingyu asked.

"Yes, Christmas tree." Shang Wen corrected.

"You get one. What do I look like? Yingyu said strangely.

"Well, well." Shang Wen reluctantly agreed. Then Shang Wen began to look for things, small colored light bulbs, and a golden five-pointed star. Then it's time to cut down a pine tree. Then hang up the red socks, lollipops. And a whole bunch of gifts. These things became things that the two of them did on Chinese New Year's Eve when they had nothing to do.

And in the Yangtze River, a catastrophe is befalling a Qin armed merchant ship.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's drink." The Qin people were obviously in a good mood on the day of the New Year. Previously, they had successfully repelled several groups of Chu pirates who had attempted to attack their ships. These pirates are extremely rudimentary in their weaponry. They simply relied on surprise attacks, or falsely claimed that the ship had broken down and needed to be rescued. At one point, armed merchant ships came to the rescue of these ships, but the pirates prematurely exposed their targets.

They immediately put on ropes and prepared to board the ship. However, the ships of the Qin state were higher, and the Qin people were armed with rapid-fire automatic weapons such as repeating rifles, high-powered shotguns, and machine guns. In the event of a sudden change, these weapons quickly proceeded to fire. The situation can be imagined, and the first to suppress the opponent with firepower at the first time in a hand-to-hand encounter will definitely be the winning side.

There are also water pirates with cold weapons. This cold weapon is also a bronze dagger. Only a small number of people were still holding flintlock pistols. However, fire cover was still carried out from a distance, and it was difficult to continue firing a second burst after firing a shot.

And the Qin people, after finding out that something was wrong. Immediately suppressed fire, they pulled out their revolvers and fired continuously. Then there is the shotgun one shot at a time, just like a flying saucer. This was followed by rifle rapid fire, and if a good shooter was on the ship, he could shoot out fifteen rounds in a minute. And the other side may have fired only two shots. That's a huge disparity in numbers. The most terrible thing is the machine gun.

The Qin installed a water-cooled machine gun at the highest point of the ship. The machine gun turned around and fired in a dive. The person on the other side will be smashed. However, the Qin people obviously had a desire for revenge, they would use wine bottles to fill kerosene, and they made a kind of fire, although they could use coal, but they were still used to using kerosene, because it was not as fast. And coal replenishment is not easy.

The half-filled kerosene bottles were lit and thrown onto the opposing ships, where they were immediately set on fire. Subsequently, the ship caught fire. The people on the boat jumped into the river to escape. Then the Qin people left far away.

In this way, the Qin people ran rampant on the Yangtze River with their excellent weapons along the way. Water thieves fundamentally approach their kerosene. And there really is no way. They had to be in close contact to get on board, but if they didn't, they had no chance of robbing the ship.

And the armed merchant ships of the Qin people relied on this kind of non-contact ships to sail for a long time. But the problem is that in the area controlled by the Qin state, the Qin state has well-established port facilities, but in the territory of the Chu state, there are no decent port facilities for the Qin people's armed merchant ships, especially the supply of coal. The Qin people relied on steam engines to drive. And not manpower, wind power. And the port of Chu will not provide such a thing as coal, because they have only discovered the role of coal. Previously, they had been relying on imports to complete the smelting of bronze.
