2111 The solution of the problem of the Yan Kingdom
"Da-da-da-da. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "When the Qi army and the South Korean marines confronted each other, a sound of horses' hooves quickly ran to the Qi army.
"Sir, this is the latest order." The cavalryman quickly ran to the lieutenant colonel and handed him a telegram.
"Is this an order from the South Korean army?" That's when the lieutenant colonel asked.
"Yes. Sir. The cavalryman replied.
The lieutenant colonel glanced at the telegram, and then at Wang Adam.
"This is your telegram." The lieutenant colonel handed it to Wang Adam. The chief of staff on the side looked nervously at the telegram. He was very worried about the order from above, because it was likely to be very bad for his commander.
"Okay." Wang Adam quickly took the telegram. Then he opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, Wang Adam's face turned white all of a sudden. His hands shook slightly. However, Wang Adang tried his best to control himself.
"Sir. This, the command. At this time, the chief of staff on the side looked at his superior.
"Let's get out of here. Put those people. Wang Adang looked very weak.
"Let it go." At this time, Wang Adang waved his hand weakly and said.
"What's going on?" The chief of staff asked anxiously.
"Look, that's what the order is above, you can explain it well, I'm not the supreme commander anymore. I'm going to wait for the gendarmerie. At this time, Wang Adam said weakly. The chief of staff on the side quickly read the telegram, he was very surprised, although he had guessed that such a thing might happen at the beginning, but when the final result came, he was still a little unacceptable.
Their prefect was ordered to leave his post for the detriment of the merchants, pending escort by the gendarmes to the Judge Advocate General's Office.
"Sir. This one. At this time, the chief of staff still hoped that he could solve this big problem, but there was no way. His commander waved weakly.
"I already know that there is such an outcome. Stop it. Go and talk to them and comfort them. Wang Adam said.
"But we're also for South Korea." The chief of staff said with some unconvincing.
"I know, but there's no way, I've already violated military law, don't talk about it. I am tired. So saying, Wang Adang departed. Immediately, the South Korean Marines released the seized merchants, and the Korean merchants were very angry, they didn't care about these at all, they wanted to go to the military court of the South Korean army to sue the other party, although the army was very annoyed, but there was nothing to do, the above repeatedly ordered that they were not allowed to infringe on the interests of these merchants, and asked them to protect the interests of the merchants from infringing.
Sinzheng, South Korea.
"I don't want to see something like this happen." Han Shu's anger has almost disappeared. She was walking with Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang cautiously took a step behind Han Shu and did not dare to step forward.
"Your Majesty, such a thing is inevitable. After all, the military has the idea of the military. Zhang Liang said.
"Hmm. I admit it. Han Shu said.
"But the military has gone too far. We are now relying on these merchants, and they have directly seized these merchants, merchant ships. It's just too bold. Han Shu said a little angrily.
"Your Majesty, what the minister is worried about is that the logistics and supply problem of the South Korean army should be solved at present, and if the problem cannot be solved well, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, we attacked all the way by land, and the logistical supply was completely cut off by the Chu army, so I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for long. Zhang Liang said.
"That's right. What do you think we should do next? Han Shu asked.
"Immediately send another group of commanders to the front line to command, reassure the other side as soon as possible, and provide support from the sea. And try to complete the task of replenishment at sea as much as possible, otherwise, we will have a great cost of casualties along the other way. This is definitely not the outcome we would like to see. Zhang Liang said.
"Yes. Just do as you say. Han Shu said.
Zhang Liang nodded. He understood. The Chu army and the Qi army formed a confrontation, and it was very unrealistic to attack by land, even if they infiltrated in, they could only be small-scale troops. The ROK Marines entered by dispersion, and they entered in batches in company and platoon, interspersed directly into the Langya area. The army can complete such an action, however, the logistics team cannot complete such an action, in order to be able to complete such a tactical task, the South Korean Marine Corps also paid a certain price, they spent a lot of money to get through the Chu army, and their logistics supplies carried more than ordinary soldiers New Army several times. They were carrying too many supplies. And it took a certain amount of time, so to speak, the action itself did not make much sense. The sea route is different, their attack has a strong support, and the logistics supplies can be easily transported to Jimo City by sea, it is this that allows South Korea to rely on its own sea power to complete this mission, but the newly established Admiralty is simply unable to coordinate their warships and merchant ships to complete such a task, which causes the war to be ready to happen. Their logistics system is in shambles. If this is not addressed in a timely manner, there is a high chance that they will suffer a major failure.
Chu Chamber of Commerce.
"I heard that the first summit will start in a few days, and representatives from all parties have already come. The representatives of Qin, Zhao, Korea, Yan, Wei, and Qi all came. It's just our Chu country. We don't know what they discussed, but our Chu State is a big country, so we don't have any status to participate, which is really unreasonable. Huang Feng said very dissatisfied.
"There's no way around it." He was very embarrassed and said to Huang Feng. Huang Feng is a businessman in Chu State, he has seen many Korean businessmen with his own eyes, Wei businessmen can understand some of the actual benefits of their country from this summit, and many preferential policies come out of here, Huang Feng is very envious, not only he is alone, many people are like this, but he has no representative, and he claims that he knows General Xiang Yan of Chu State, so he naturally has a certain reputation. They decided that they wanted to send their own representatives to participate in such a summit, at the very least, to be able to fight for their own interests for the merchants of Chu State.
"Childe, we know that you have such an ability, can you go to the Prime Minister of Qin to talk about it, at least, we can also have our own interests. Or let the people of Qin interfere in the internal affairs of Chu. After all, we businessmen. The status in the state of Chu is too low. The status of businessmen in various countries is improving, and we. Still. It's really bad for us. Huang Feng said embarrassedly. And the negative has its own consideration. He had mixed feelings about Qin. He didn't want to rely on the Qin State, especially the Qin State to interfere in the internal affairs of the Chu State, which may be a bottom line for the negative side. However, if this is not done, these merchants will not support it, for now, only the merchants of the Chu State can support him and provide a large amount of funds, but at this time, what can he bring to the merchants of the Chu State.
He didn't even know about it.
"Okay. I'll give it a try. Give me some time, though. He reluctantly agreed, in fact, he didn't know if he could persuade the people of the Qin State to let him participate in the meeting, but he really didn't have such a possibility.
"Thank you so much Childe." Huang Feng thanked excitedly. And the negative face is full of gloom.
Xinzhengnei, in the hotel where Prince Dan stayed.
"I heard that in the past few days, the prime minister of Qin has explained his intention to the envoys of Zhao, South Korea, and Wei. Qi doesn't seem to be involved because of the negotiations with South Korea, but on our side. "Prince Dan sent someone to inquire and came back to report.
"The Prime Minister of Qin hasn't come yet, has he?" Prince Dan asked worriedly.
"Yes." The subordinate nodded.
"Got it. Go down. Prince Dan waved his hand and said. Prince Dan came to this meeting, largely to solve the problem of the invasion of Goguryeo in Liaodong, Yan.
Prince Dan walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, talking sadly, he really didn't know what to do about what Yan Guo should do at the moment, as well as Qin Guo's attitude.
"Prince, do we take the initiative to go to the Qin State to have a look." At this time, Prince Dan's Minister of Defense asked in a low voice. The telegram from the border told them that Goguryeo was only attacking in a harassing manner and that there was no follow-up attack, but the defense minister knew that after this harassing attack, Goguryeo might take a bigger attack. The lack of population, as well as all kinds of supplies, is what the Goguryeo people lack the most, and they need too much. And Liaodong in Yan had what they needed, so they hoped to fulfill such needs through an offensive operation.
"Prince." The Minister of Defense reminded in a whisper.
"I see." Prince Dan said impatiently. He also did not know what to do about the current situation.
Inside Shang Wen's temporary office.
"Do we want to talk to the people of Yan Guo, after all, we have discussed it with several countries in the past few days. If we leave Yan Guo alone, Yan Guo may take extreme measures, and in this case, I think it will be very unfavorable to us. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen worriedly.
"The question is, how to solve the problem of Yan Kingdom?" Shangwen asked.
"Yan Guo's question, I once tentatively gave Zhao Guo some hints, but Zhao Guo's answer disappointed me, they have never thought of anything on this issue." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm." Meng Yi didn't know what Shang Wen had in mind, but he knew that Shang Wen must have his own way.
"What I think is, since Zhao is willing to develop its own colony, can Zhao develop its own colony north of Liaodong in Yan State, that is, in the position of Liaobei, so that we can further develop Liaobei through the influence of our Qin State. Or, in the position of Liaobei, enter the state of Zhao. I think that in this way, it will be easier to solve the problem of the colonies. Shang Wen said.
"This. I don't quite understand what you mean. Meng Yi said.
"The relationship between Qin, Yan, and Zhao is very complicated, but a stable triangular relationship can solve the problem of development in northern Liao. Because of the influence of Zhao, Yan will focus on Liaobei, and with the competition between Zhao and Yan, the border problem of Qin will be easily solved. This is a geopolitical consequence. Shang Wen explained.
"It's a little complicated." Meng Yi shook his head and said.
"I don't know what you're thinking about, but I think that on this issue, we should think more about the Goguryeo issue." Meng Yi reminded Shang Wen.
"You must know that the biggest threat to Yan at present is not the Zhao people, but the Goguryeo people, who have caused a lot of trouble to the Yan people." Meng Yi continued.
"The Goguryeo people harassed the border of Yan once, but after the harassment, the Goguryeo people will come again, so next time, they will not be a simple harassment. In my opinion, the Goguryeo offensive would have been greater. Meng Yi said.
"Hmm. I know this, Wei Yi has reminded us that their plan is to sell a large number of mines to the Yan people, but, according to our understanding, the Yan people do not have much money to buy such weapons. Shang Wen said.
"So, the problem is serious, because the more we delay, the worse the problem becomes. Landmines, we can sell them as soon as possible. Meng Yi said.
"But they don't have money, we can't lend them mines, if they lend them mines, they will explode. Mines are not borrowed. Shang Wen said.
"So, we have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible. The Yan Kingdom must have a sum of money to be able to buy these weapons, and with these weapons, they can solve a lot of things. Meng Yi said.
"Hmm. You're right. Shangwen nodded.
"At this point, we must solve the problem of Yan Kingdom." Shang Wen thought for a moment.
"What do you think is the value of Yan Kingdom?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi at this time.
"This, I don't know." Meng Yi shook his head and replied to Shang Wen.
"I mean, what do you think is the development value of Yan Kingdom?" Shangwen asked.
"This." Meng Yi frowned, relying on his understanding of Yan Guo. There really isn't much to develop in Yan Kingdom. Therefore, Meng Yi also did not know how to develop Yan Kingdom.
"I guess, you also understand that the location of Yan Kingdom is too far north. There are some disadvantages to the development of agriculture and industry, coupled with their special geographical location, which has brought a great shadow to investment. Shang Wen said.
"I tried to persuade the Zhao people to participate in the development of Liaobei, where we can let them develop their colonies, but the Zhao people didn't think about it, and even if they thought about it now, they didn't understand what would be there." Shang Wen said.
"Therefore, I think it is because of such development difficulties that the problem of Yanguo is caused, and no one wants to mention it." Shang Wen said. The problem of Yan is indeed like this, the location of Yan is extremely biased, if his development direction is chosen as the Central Plains, because of the geographical environment and various restrictions, Yan was in a disadvantageous position in the early Warring States period, the development of agriculture, his climatic factors are more restrictive. The development space is also relatively narrow, which is the disadvantage of Yan Kingdom.
But Shang Wen knows that in the north of Yan Kingdom, especially in Liaobei, there is a lot of room for development, although it has not yet been developed, and there is a great deal of uncertainty about what kind of benefits development will bring, but Shang Wen knows that the development space here is extremely huge, and this is where Yan must be developed.
"My assumption is that the strategic direction of Yan and Zhao is roughly in the Liaobei and Korea areas, on the one hand, these two countries bring a large trade market, and at the same time, they also want to develop a market in Korea, and at the same time they can expand northward and establish new, large colonies. As you know, our Dongmeng Prefecture is facing a large number of mountain people, and these mountain people are very difficult to solve. There is no better way to solve it, and the current financial funds are seriously insufficient, it is impossible to give them more military spending, and the population of Qin is also insufficient, and Qin also needs a large number of markets, in this case, only countries to establish more colonies, in order to better develop, and digest these mountain people to become our market. Shang Wen said.
"It seems to me that the development of the colony, in fact, will eventually become our market." Meng Yi said.
"Yes. In this direction, the Qin State should actively encourage them to enter. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. So, how to solve the problem of Yanguo? Meng Yi asked.
"Let them attract investment, let them solve the problem of the expansion of the colony." Shang Wen said.
"If needed, they can do it with Zhao Guoke. Something like this has to be done anyway. Only in this way can we better solve the problem. Shang Wen said.
"Perhaps, the North Korean issue, which was originally difficult to solve, may eventually develop into an important market for us." Shang Wen said.
"The solution to the specific problem lies in Yan Guo. If Yan can fully support the development of trade, I think this problem will definitely be solved. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. In this way, we must talk about it with the prince of Yanguo. Meng Yi said.
"Hmm." Shang Wen said.
"At least we have our own policy, so we won't be afraid of them." Shang Wen said. Saying that, Shang Wen put down the pen in his hand and said to Meng Yi.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Shang Wen said.
"The banks of the Qin State have changed a lot." Shang Wen said.
"The function of Qinguo Bank is no longer a simple loan, but a large-scale investment." Shang Wen said.
"This." Prince Dan was very excited, because he didn't write that he thought that the prime minister of the Qin State would come in person, which made him very happy. Until now, he has not stopped getting excited.
"And the current situation in Yan Country is very bad. We hope that Yan Guo will make significant changes. Shang Wen said to Prince Dan seriously.
"This. I don't know what the prime minister said about the major change? At this time, Prince Dan asked dimly.
"Investment. There are significant changes to the Yanguo warranty. Shang Wen said.
"This change is to be able to benefit the investment of Qinguo Bank, and the investment of these banks must be safe and able to make a large profit. Only in this way can Yan Guo solve this problem quickly. Shang Wen said.
"This." Prince Dan was a little embarrassed. He felt that it was a little difficult for Yan Guo to make such conditions.
"We will encourage Yan to actively develop trade, and the premise of trade is the lack of funds, with such funds, we can solve many problems." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm." Prince Dan just nodded.
"At the same time, we also hope that Yan can open up its own colonies and adopt a more relaxed free trade policy on the issue of colonies, only in this way can we attract investment to a greater extent, otherwise, Qin's investment will not come back." Shang Wen said solemnly.
"Is this really necessary?" Prince Dan said with some reluctance.
"It has to be done." Shang Wen said.
"Only by doing so can we attract investment." Shang Wen said.
"The solution to Yanguo's predicament is that there must be the introduction of funds, and loans can no longer solve Yanguo's problems." Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. It's just that, dare to ask the prime minister, can Yan Guo really do this? To be honest, Shang Wen said this, which made Prince Dan very excited and excited, but he was still a little unsure, so he said it in an uncertain tone.
"The Yan State must provide tax, legal, and policy incentives to give maximum freedom in the matter of colonies. Only in this way can Yan Guo get out of this predicament. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm." Prince Dan nodded at this time.
"There is one more thing, that is, how to solve the border security problem of Yan Kingdom?" At this time, Prince Dan asked.
"We've already studied the problem of Yan Kingdom." Shang Wen said.
"The border problem of Yan can be done with large-scale mines. We, the Qin Kingdom, exported a batch of mines and supplied them to the Yan State. With the help of such a batch of mines, I think the border problem of Yan can be solved very well. Shang Wen said.
"It's just that you Yan Kingdom don't have the funds to buy it, and we have already thought about the specific problems. If you can set up trading companies in the way of Yan, these trading companies are mainly aimed at Liaobei and North Korea, and North Korea needs a lot of materials, which can be imported from Wei and South Korea. Then it was sold to Liaobei and North Korea, so that Yan Guo could solve a big problem, not only finance and taxes, profits, but also usher in greater investment opportunities, which is what Yan Guo should consider. Shang Wen said.
"Just by doing this, it may not solve the problem of funding." At this time, Prince Dan asked.
"Mortgage, you can mortgage, or sell your shares. Or you can sell it directly to other countries. For example, Zhao Guo. Shang Wen said.
"Hmm. I'll think about it. However, we should really thank the Prime Minister, helping us at this time is to provide great benefits, such benefits, our Yan Kingdom will not forget. Prince Dan said happily.
Shang Wen was not interested in such words at all, and Meng Yi on the side couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, he also felt that it was difficult to accept Prince Dan's words, in his opinion, if Yan Guo wants to do things well, the next move is very important, if there is no actual effect, it is difficult.
