2519 Situation on the Peninsula



"Two mountain regiments are ready for operation, but our Goguryeo infantry regiment is still not able to meet such needs." Hawke said to Li Wending.

"The two mountain regiments can be put into the western front first, we need them to suppress the rebels, and then we can go further south to fight the damned southern tribes." Li Wending decided. The first thing Li Wending had to solve was the financial problem, and gold was their financial problem, and if such a problem could not be solved, it would be a disaster for the Goguryeo people.

"This. All right. Hawke nodded in understanding.

"But our Goguryeo infantry regiment needs to be trained. The recruited Goguryeo soldiers generally did not use the new guns, and in terms of tactics, some changes may be needed, and we need a large number of officers to solve the command problem. Hawke said.

Because of the rapid expansion, the Goguryeo side simply did not have a large number of officers and non-commissioned officers to solve such problems.

"This." Li Wending suddenly realized. Command is indeed a big problem. This question seems difficult for them.

"Do you have any kind of solution? It's best to solve such a problem in a very short time, you know, we're running out of time? Li Wending said.

"This." Hawke thought for a moment.

"The Ministry of Defense of the Qin State once had such an idea, they drew an infantry regiment, and then formed a new infantry division. We can do the same, or the size of our army can be greatly expanded in an instant. Hawke suggested.

"This is a good suggestion, we will send troops to complete such a thing, complete such a thing as soon as possible, we need to go south quickly, otherwise, those southern tribes are unlikely to have a sense of awe for us." Li Wending said solemnly.

Qi country, Binhai District.

"Goguryeo heard that it was supported by the Qin State, and with the support of the Qin State, the Goguryeo people were very rampant." Tian Heng asked Lou Jing.

"Yes, the Goguryeo have to expand the size of another division, which is enough for them to go south, and most importantly, they are well equipped, and there are a lot of new weapons in it, and if we can support the southern tribes in the war, we may get such weapons." Lou Jing said.

"Hmm. Whether these weapons are advanced or not, I am concerned about the current situation, we have set up quite a few trading posts in the region, how is the situation of these trades? Tian Heng asked.

"The trade situation is very favorable to the country, our gold reserves have also been sold, a large amount of arms and various materials have been transferred, and then some local specialties have become our important products, and timber has become the most needed thing for Korean shipyards." Lou Jing said.

"And then there's a huge population. Especially the female resources, so that in the next twenty years, our demographic advantage will manifest itself. Lou Jing said.

In order to encourage external expansion and resolve domestic contradictions, Qi adopted a series of measures. These measures included selling Qi's only gold reserves, which had been exchanged for a large amount of supplies for Qi. Trade of the property. Flint guns, weapons and ammunition, and all sorts of supplies, which were then transported by ship to the Korean Peninsula, where they would receive land, timber, ginseng, and women as a consolation for retired soldiers, and women became a resource, and as an incentive, and the land could expand their land resource advantage. This greatly solves the problem of the relatively large number of military personnel in the Qi country.

The solution of this difficult problem has sharply reduced the pressure on the economy of the country. But now Qi wants to further expand this trend in order to solve bigger economic problems. Because only external expansion can fundamentally stimulate the economic development of Qi country.

"The current situation is a bit more optimistic. It's a bit more positive, but I think it might be better if we can support more supplies for the locals. Lou Jing suggested.

"Hmm. The Qin people earned a lot of gold from Goguryeo, and we can too, if the war can be fought in the end in a peaceful way, or a stalemate situation can force the Goguryeo people to stop the war, I think, there will be no big problem. Tian Heng said.

"Therefore, in the next military campaign against Goguryeo, we must find a way to delay the pace of the Goguryeo attack, at least make them realize that attacking the southern tribes will pay an unbearable price, which is huge and unbearable, and only in this way can they realize the difficulty of this problem." Tian Heng said.

In the face of the well-equipped Goguryeo army, the equipment of the southern tribes was much worse, many of their soldiers were not soldiers, at most tribal armed, they only had flint guns, in addition to a large number of rudimentary weapons, in the face of such an army with superior equipment, they would definitely be difficult to resist. However, Goguryeo insisted on going to war, which was unavoidable, and the Qi state had its own interests in southern Korea, and for its own interests, Tian Heng felt that it was the best way to reach a peace agreement.

"Hmm. I understand. Lou Jing nodded, indicating that he understood. Lou Jing knew very well what kind of idea this was, in the face of a huge equipment gap. This gap is difficult to eliminate, and Qi must use a diplomatic way to solve it, that is, as long as the other side is dragged into the quagmire of war, such a problem can be solved. Moreover, on the Korean Peninsula, the Qi State has its own interests, and for its own interests, the Qi State can sacrifice the interests of these tribes.

And the trade of the southern tribes will also bring great income, such income is the situation that the Qi state wants to see the most, therefore, what the Qi country needs is to stabilize the southern tribes, or divide the Korean Peninsula into two different political regions.

This is a war of small countries between great powers. It was easy for Lou Jing to think of such a serious situation. The struggle between the Qi and Qin states allowed these small states to serve as cannon fodder.

Chu. Pengcheng.

"Prime Minister, this is a telegram from plantations all over the Chu State." An assistant whispered to Fan Zeng.

"Put it here." Fan Zeng waved his arm and said. Then the assistant put it down and walked out.

Fan Zeng picked it up and looked at it, shook his head and put it down.

"It's another problem. What a headache. Fan Zeng looked at it, and then put down the telegram in his hand. Then he stood up helplessly, wondering how to solve such a problem. This puzzle is a bit tricky.
