2792 Advantages of the Qin State
"Damn it, this thing. It's harder to learn than a gun. This. A Hun corporal threw his pencils on his notebook in annoyance.
"No more. No more. I'm retired. It's too hard to learn. It takes more than 500 words to learn more than 500 words to pass the beginner exam, and I, the corporal, need 1,000 words. This. It's too hard. The corporal shook his head. He was already thinking about giving up. If you give up, there is also a retirement fee, and you can also do some small business or something. He thought of it himself.
"You're crazy. Give Lao Tzu and I will pick up the pen and learn. At this moment, a sergeant major of the Qin army came over and kicked the other party.
"This." The corporal looked at his sergeant major. He was a Qin man, but he was very good to them. This made many Hun soldiers very grateful, and the sergeant major had been in the military for more than fifteen years. Men who came out of the army with him. There are many who have become his superiors, and it is said that a military academy graduate has become a captain. Recently, he has been actively studying and is preparing to return to China to learn staff and other strategies, and the sergeant major is very proud to introduce them to them, but unfortunately, the sergeant major does not know many words. Otherwise, it is unlikely that he will become a sergeant major. And he could not be promoted, with his military experience. A captain officer can't run away.
"Damn it. Lao Tzu suffered the loss of not knowing words. Now that the Qin army is going to transform, it is possible for all of you to go up. actually gave up to Lao Tzu. Tell you, if you don't know a thousand words, don't see Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is the first to give you a good look. The sergeant major said fiercely.
The sergeant major himself was reluctant to give up on these Hun soldiers, who came from poor places. The ideas are very simple, and they value feelings. The combat skills are also good, and most importantly, they are trustworthy soldiers. It is a pity that the Qin army is in the process of transformation, and the Qin army needs a large number of literate soldiers, who must know how to read. Qin is able to speak fluently, and if possible, they will receive relevant courses. Only then can they remain in the army.
"Sir. This word, it's too difficult. I thought, I'd better retire. If you retire, you will. The Hun corporal said in embarrassment.
"Fart, you think, you don't have to know words when you retire. Tell you, the reason why Lao Tzu is willing to stay in the army is because he doesn't know many words, the things here are simple, and there are many words needed outside, you don't know the legal documents, you are unlucky, you don't understand the numbers, you can't read the newspapers, there is no source of information, what can you do? It's not the same society anymore. When you go to society, you don't know how to read, and you only suffer losses. I learned from Lao Tzu and learned it. I went to the exam, and I was done. You can also move up one level. Your salary will increase a lot. You know? Learn. The sergeant major himself picked up a book and began to study. They only learned the elementary school curriculum of the Qin State. But it was such a course that drove many Hun soldiers crazy. They can play very well with the tools of killing, but they are very disgusted with these lessons, because they really can't learn them.
War Department of the State of Qin.
"The situation reflected is that many Hun soldiers and mountain soldiers have poor learning ability, but they are all studying very hard. This is a good sign. The deputy minister said to Bai Dong.
"Hmm. Next. We want to levy some people with high academic qualifications in the Guanzhong area. Their skills will be a great boost to our next step in technological transformation. Bai Dong said.
"Yes, sir, however, I personally believe that the current Qin State still needs to engage in some battles, and these battles include, small-scale operations, and they can easily resolve some local wars." said the deputy minister.
"We can give priority to experimentation, after all, large-scale military reform cannot be carried out, but we can try to fight on a small scale, for example, use some special weapons, let those Hun soldiers and mountain people participate in it, and mix with our Qin army, so that they can improve their combat effectiveness." The deputy minister suggested. The vice minister is well aware of the current situation of the army, and the possibility of Qin fighting a large-scale war has been greatly reduced, mainly because the financial strength cannot support it, and Qin has carried out a large-scale tax exemption support economic policy, under such an economic policy, it is unlikely that there will be too much military spending. However, the Qin state may also face the threat of local war, such as quelling riots or engaging in small-scale military battles. The mobility of the Qin army must be accelerated. This is the only way to fight that meets the current needs of the Qin State.
"The army is in the midst of a lot of transformation, they can learn for a long time, but war is not giving us time to wait, we need them to do something, small-scale, rapid mobile combat units can bring us great combat effectiveness, we might as well experiment, for our future operations, make some preparations, experiments, through these experiments to achieve our expectations." said the deputy minister.
"Hmm. As you say, that's all we can do at the moment. Bai Dong said. For the current situation, we can only continue to experiment like this.
Seth Country. The invasion of the Sabbatarians continued, and in the face of the great superiority in weapons, the attack of the Sabbatarians was unusually smooth. The Seth had no idea that there were such sharp weapons in the world, and in a very short period of time, their defenses were overrun.
They built a very stable city and fell victim to the cannons. Larger, seemingly heavy walls can easily be broken up and broken by cannons. This makes them extremely impatient.
In the face of the muskets of the rest cavalry, all their weapons were rendered useless. The infantry was easily crushed by a burst of musket fire from the rushing cavalry, and they found that their chests were so fragile, and the bombardment of the cannons could shoot out red channels of limbs, internal organs, and blood, and Seth reacted with great fear in the face of such a frenzied killing. They didn't know how far the Sabbatarians would attack, so they had to keep retreating. Then it turned into a rout. They simply couldn't resist such an attack from the other side.
"Koreans. Are you Korean? A young general asked Zhang Bi.
"Yes, I'm Korean." Zhang Bi nodded and said. They were a little alarmed when they saw Zhang Bi again, because they felt that he was not a Sethian, and then they reported it to the above, and then a young high-ranking general received such a report to check on such a thing, because he admired the Qin culture very much. And I took the initiative to learn their language. There is no problem in terms of language communication.
"It's surprising, according to my understanding of your Central Plains country, you are in the east of the Qin people. Moreover, the people of the Qin State rarely take the initiative to come to our side of the Rest Country, which is rare. Really, very unexpectedly. The young general said suspiciously. Because of the situation of firearms training use. He came here to conduct and summarize the experience in the use of firearms.
"That's right. Sir. Zhang Bi nodded and said. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but from the look on the other side, the other party looked very surprised.
"I think. I want to know. Koreans, where did you come from and how did you get to this place? You know, the country of Seth, this country where only we Sabbatarians can reach here. The young general asked.
"Sir. We came from the sea, we got here from the sea, we got the existence of the country of Seth through simple language, we came here to explore the country of Seth and establish trade. Then exchange some of our goods. That's it. Zhang Bi said calmly.
"Oh. If that's the case, Koreans, it's really not the right time for you to come, the Seth Country, which has been wiped out by us. You see it too. We are well armed, and I'm afraid you Koreans don't have the number of muskets you Koreans are equipped with compared to us. This country is being wiped out, they are ours. The young general said very easily.
"Sir, we don't know much about the situation here, but I know that it could change a lot." Zhang Bi said.
"Oh. Well, if you don't mind, stay with me, and I can show you how the kingdom of Seth was destroyed by us. The young military general said lightly. It seems that the destruction of the kingdom of Seth is very easy.
At the beach, Guo Xiang and the others saw a large number of refugees fleeing, their faces were very frightened, and he knew that something must have happened. But what was going on, they still didn't know, judging from their difficult language, and their difficult gestures, there must have been something big and irresistible.
"Tell me, Mr. Scholar, what the hell is going on?" Guo Xiang was a little anxious to find those scholars, and the scholars knew a lot of things about them after listening to the exchange.
"War. Rest the people, through the attack, the kingdom of Seth. "Scholars through exchanges. Then he told them something in his few words. These scholars were newly recruited by him. They are given money to learn. They have a lot of knowledge in the local area and have a strong learning ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't have uttered some simple Chinese words in such a short period of time, you know. Zhongyuan dialect is a very difficult language to understand.
"War, the invasion of the Seth nation by the Sabbatarians." Guo Xiang looked at the scholar suspiciously, the other party obviously understood his words, and then nodded. Expressed agreement with such statements.
"Oh my God. It's simply the most damn news I've ever heard. Guo Xiang scolded. Maybe they can't stay here now. Because the Sabbatarians can call at any time, they have no protection from their homeland at all.
"What to do, sir, we're in a very dangerous situation right now." A guard next to him asked worriedly.
"I know it's dangerous, but what do we do now?" Guo Xiang said.
"If we leave here with the Sethians, they must have a place to hide." The guards offered a suggestion to.
"No, we don't know anything here, and if we follow the Sethians, we will definitely be more passive, and in that case, our situation may be very bad. The only way is. Guo Xiang thought about it and said.
"If we get out of here, there's nothing. The people in our rear simply don't know how to contact us, we don't have cables, we don't have telegrams, the only way is here, stop, gather more Sethians and protect ourselves. Guo Xiang said.
"Sir. This. No, I can't. The guard said worriedly. There were only a few men left, and the muskets were only a dozen or so at most, and their numbers were too small to be of great use compared to the army of the Sabbats.
"However, we know very well how the other side rests the muskets, and most importantly, we are from the Central Plains countries, if negotiations can solve the problem, I think. The problem will be easily solved, and the only reliance will be on South Korea in the back, and we can only solve our problems in the name of South Korea. Do you understand? Guo Xiang said to the guard.
"Immediately under our banner, the Korean banner, we will establish a stronghold here, organize men to dig trenches, and collect as much food as possible, if the Sabbaths come. We're going to talk to them. Hopefully, our national prestige will make a big difference. Guo Xiang thought about it and said.
"Yes. Sir. The guards had no choice but to do this, there were a large number of Seth people who kept fleeing to the west and north, Guo Xiang and they didn't know where they would go in these directions, their only way was to stay here and wait for the rescue from South Korea, but the rescue could not reach here at all.
Qin State, Meng Tian's Office. Now Meng Tian is in charge of specific Western Regions affairs, and he is responsible for all Western Regions affairs.
"According to reliable information from Dawan. and news from Dawan. A lieutenant colonel officer reported.
"The Sabbatarians, there may be an attack on the Western kingdom of Seleus. After all, judging by the intelligence gathered by the Tocharian side, the Sabbatarians were given about more than 300,000 muskets, as well as more than 350 artillery pieces. They can arm an army of more than 300,000 men. This is all the military power of the Sabbatarians, and they are constantly harassing Dawan here, creating a great illusion for us, and not only that. The Dawan took a series of measures against the military harassment of the Sabbatarians, and they reached a peace agreement in which the harassment of the Sabbatarians ceased to exist. I think they might stop attacking and turn to the western country of Seleus. After all, that country, compared to their current military equipment, is very backward, and it is said that the country is very rich. The lieutenant colonel officer said.
"Oh. Things got really interesting. Meng Tian looked at the report and said. Qin's report is speculated through many confirmations, although Qin's military intelligence collects their information as much as possible, but in desperation, they can't understand many places, plus the difference in race, ethnicity, and language, which makes it very difficult for them to collect intelligence.
"If they attack, are we giving them a lot of help? Or send a military observer mission to check it out? Meng Tian said. In fact, they would have liked to go west of Rest to check on the situation, after all, they knew so little about it.
"Sir, this is unlikely, we don't play a big role in the diplomatic strategy of the Sabbatarians, the Sabbatarians only understand us through Tocharian and Dawan, and we also understand the Sabbatarians through them, so that the communication between the two sides is not very large, the only way is. We can only learn about them through these two countries, and this is the only thing we know about the Sabbatarians at the moment. Lieutenant Colonel said.
"Hmm." Meng Tian nodded.
"Is that okay, you say? We want to help them set up a telegraph system, and I think they probably know about our system, and we can help them set up a system where their communications can be accelerated, and we can send envoys, and at the same time, send military observer missions in, and we know so little about them. Meng Tian said. At present, the Qin State has a telegraph system in Dawan, Tocharo, and Yueshi, and the telegraph can bring a lot of information here, so that the Qin State can understand the situation there for the first time, but the situation of the Anxiguan people is different, they don't have such information, and the contact between the Anxian and the Qin people is not very much, but both sides are very clear about the strength of the other party, at this time, if the Qin State takes the initiative to ask, he thinks, the Anxican people will not agree.
"I thought we could give it a try, and we could get in touch with the Tocharians, who are very good at it. After all, a large number of military weapons are sold through them. The lieutenant colonel officer said.
"Give it a try and get it done as soon as possible. I will report this to the above as soon as possible. Meng Tian said.
The Prime Minister's Mansion of the State of Qin.
"Oh my God. They only now know about contacting the Sabbatical State. Shang Wen looked at Meng Tian's report and said.
"I think we know too little about them. A lot of times, we don't even know what's going on over there, and our perception around us has dropped a lot. Meng Yi said after reading it.
"Yes. We're sensual a lot less now, and I think we can get in touch with them if we have to, of course. It is better to build railways to them as well, and conquest does not necessarily have to be by force, and sometimes it is better to use economic means. Shang Wen said.
"We are in the most economically advantageous position, and the Tocharians, the Sabbats, they are in a bad situation, and if they start a war, the demand for this will be very great, we will be more advantageous, and our arms business will be greater." Meng Yi said.
"It's not just that, they have a demographic advantage, which is very important for us, because you know, the population will have a large market, which is a big advantage for us." Shang Wen said.
"As long as they have this advantage, we will continue to launch a trade offensive, which is the most advantageous option." Shang Wen said.
