"I think we may have gone a little too hastily in our military reform." Shang Wen told Meng Yi how he felt.

"I also think so, first of all, Bai Dong's military plan is unacceptable to me, after the removal of a large number of minority armies, a large number of technical equipment will be introduced, although the Qin army has always had such military equipment before, but after all, those are light weapons, not worth much, but now, it is different, a large number of combat airships, aircraft, and various armored combat vehicles, which are not supported by the Qin State's finances." Meng Yi objected.

"I also think so, if we follow their requirements, I'm afraid we will have to take out all the fiscal revenue for a year, and the Qin State will have to issue bonds for ten years, or longer, to develop. In that case, what did the Qin State want to do? Shang Wen continued. He feared that Qin's excessive emphasis on military power would eventually lead to the collapse of Qin's economy.

"We have to get the Qin Army to revise their military reform plan, at least on a large scale." Meng Yi said.

"Well, however, you should notice another problem, that is, the problem of labor, in the Western Regions of Qin, and in the northern regions of Qin, there are still a large number of slaves in a considerable part of these areas, and the ethnic minorities of the Qin army are from these soldiers, for example, the soldiers of the Western Regions, the Xiongnu soldiers in the north, and the mountain soldiers, if we can't solve the problem of their status, sooner or later there will be a big problem, and this time it is a large-scale reduction of military personnel, although the quality of the army is very low, But we can't let them do that. Shang Wen said.

"Well, I remembered. There is a problem in the Western Regions, that is, the problem of lack of labor, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, this time the Yueshi people have won a huge victory in the war, and they have enough prisoners to replenish it. However, the labor problem of the people in the Western Regions has not been well solved. The farm still needed a large number of slaves. It can be said that it is unlikely that the Qin state will give up slaves. Meng Yi said.

"Could it be that the Qin army relied on slaves to fight? I think the only solution is to give the minorities their culture, to absorb them, to change their status, and if we accept them on a large scale, it may cause a lot of dissatisfaction, because it requires the placement of quite a lot of infrastructure, which is all taxpayers' money. Shang Wen said.

"The two states of the Northern Union have already shown this. Although they lacked a large number of laborers, they did not accept these tribes, and these tribes could provide us with a large number of soldiers, while they could not enter the northern regions of the Qin State and become a member of the Qin State. Shang Wen said.

"Of course. The Qin State cannot accept them comprehensively, if they are not allowed, the infrastructure of the Qin State will exceed the requirements, which requires a great acceptance capacity of the Qin State, but the Qin State can only accept a part. Shang Wen said.

"On the one hand, the Qin State needs slaves, and on the other hand, the Qin State needs to absorb some slaves to become new members of the Qin State, and they are the fresh blood of the Qin State." Shang Wen said.

"I agree with you, and I support you in doing this, after all, this is something that is very beneficial to the Qin State, but the question is what should we do?" Meng Yi asked.

"Partial acceptance, we should pass such a set of laws, as long as it is beneficial to the Qin State and the people who contribute to the Qin State, they can be absorbed and let them join the Qin State, they will become the legal citizens of the Qin State, and we should not discriminate against them." Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. I believe that we should give these people the same status or the same rights to those who have obtained legal citizenship, such as their right to education, the right to vote, and so on. Meng Yi said.

"Yes, if you want to absorb them, you have to choose them fairly, otherwise, you won't let us do that." Shang Wen said.

"With this move, I think it can greatly alleviate Qin's labor problem in the Western Regions, as well as the labor problem in the north." Meng Yi said. Shang Wen nodded, how to improve this, Shang Wen needs to do a lot.

Qin must be an open country, because only with an open attitude can it absorb more foreign cultures, take the initiative in world exchanges, and blindly exclude foreigners. The Qin state had to learn to do so, to accept, to accept what they considered backward cultures, and the associated peoples.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

"In Bangladesh, we also have to absorb some of the Bangladeshians into our own people, such as the Zinke soldiers, and we need to make them our armed forces as soon as possible. Among the military forces that the next northern dynasty will need, we need to show a part of our military power, and only in this way can we effectively control those city-states like Bengla. Han Shu said.

"Do we need to arm those Zinke soldiers?" Zhang Liang asked.

"Yes, weapons must be given to them as a matter of priority, they must act according to our intentions, and this matter must be carried out. The people of Chu may not be aware of this yet, but it has a great effect on us. Han Shu said.

"In the future colonial expansion, we can't lack force, without military support, we will have no power to control such an area as the Western Continent, not only the Xinke soldiers, we should establish such legions everywhere, they are in our hands, our officers must bravely command them, if necessary, let them fight some wars, help us solve many contradictions and disputes in the interior." Han Shu instructed.

Zhang Liang nodded. It is true that the South Korean New Army has drawn a considerable number of troops to the south, but even if the entire South Korean New Army goes south, there is no guarantee that there will be enough troops to control these areas, and the only way is those who are slightly outdated in equipment, and the large number of Zinke soldiers, or local native soldiers. This is the only military force that the South Korean government can do its bidding, but such a military force must obey their command. Otherwise, they will have big problems.

And that's what the South Korean military does, and they have to have a large military presence. in order to effectively control the Western continent. In contrast, the people of Chu were much slower, and they only seemed to think that they were very reliable, and that they had sufficient military strength to send to these areas. So they don't seem to be interested in the trained native soldiers, they think these people are servant power.
