"Everyone, forward." In the border areas of South Korea. A South Korean infantry battalion quickly assembled and headed for the front.

"Whoa." The strength of a battalion soon advanced.

"We're not going to send troops again this time." At this time, a private of the second class asked.

"I don't know. But it seems to have just been ordered. I got the message from the telegram. Say we're going to build a buffer. A veteran said.

"That's right." Private suddenly realized.

"Don't think about it. It's better to live well than anything else. At this time, the veteran said.

"It's more practical." Private said.

Subsequently. About a regiment of more than a regiment of the new Korean army marched twenty miles. Establish defensive positions. After the establishment of defensive positions. The ROK Forces nouvelles will also plan to send two regiments of troops to reinforce them. Their aim was to create a buffer zone for the South Korean Forces under the protection of the South Korean army, which would provide an effective and resolute resistance to the harassment of the Wei army.

"Report." Just after the South Korean New Army went twenty miles forward to establish a buffer zone. A scout from the Wei State quickly came to report.

"My lord. The ROK new army marched 20 miles forward and set up camp, but our army could not advance. Scout reports.

"Yes." A well-dressed Wei nobleman frowned at this time.

"My lord. The Koreans are obviously trying to interfere with us. One of the counselors stepped forward and said.

"Yes." The nobleman frowned and snorted.

"South Korea's New Army." The nobleman said at this time.

"Our army retreated twenty miles to avoid its edge." After saying that, the nobleman turned and got into the car and left.

"Withdraw." A man who looked like a military general said at this time.

With the advance of the new army of South Korea twenty miles. A limited buffer is temporarily established. Those who fled from the Republic of Chen. Limited government control has been established in the area for the time being. The region, for the most part, is still in a state of anarchy. The ROK New Army was only ordered to advance 20 miles and station, and did not establish a major government. They are stationed. They shouldn't be too much to worry about politics.

And in the southern state of Chu, two major events were taking place at this time.

"Kill." In the camp of the Chu State Naval Army. A group of soldiers of the Chu State Marine Corps. He was practicing the essentials of assassination with a rifle with a bayonet on it. The original set of spears and spears was no longer suitable for the army. But after the rifle with the bayonet became the main weapon. The Chu army began to practice mainly how to use a rifle with a bayonet for combat skills.

"Kill." The marines of the Chu State Navy Army waved their rifles and shouted loudly.

"Okay." He praised the Marines after reviewing them at this time.

"Childe, how are these marines?" Xiang Yan stepped forward and asked at this time.

"Yes. Not bad. At this time, he said.

"This is how our army should be!" Negative said.

"Yes. But the morale of our army is so strong, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Oh. Where did the general say that? Negative asked in surprise at this time.

"Our army, military spending is insufficient." This time. Xiang Yan raised this question.

"Oh." Negative frowned and sighed.

In today's world, following the pace of Qin, more and more armies have begun to carry out reforms, changing weapons, changing tactics, or increasing or cutting some branches of the army. None of this is a major change. The real change is the payment of military salaries.

This is the trend of the times. The Qin army was the first country to control the army with military salaries. The expenditure of military expenses is directly related to the salary of soldiers, and the Qin State directly selected some veterans as sergeants to provide for them. In this way, the military of the country went to the professional soldiers. And the emergence of military salaries only refines this kind of professional soldiers.

In fact, there has already been a professional military path before. This is the Wei Wushu of the Wei State, but with the decline of the Wei State's strength. Wei's military strength was also greatly reduced.

But with the payment of military salaries. There has been a revival of the economy. Professional soldiers are on the agenda again, and the advantage of a military pay is that it strengthens the state as well as private allegiance.

In the Qin state, great importance was attached to the loyalty of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Qin state first had to swear allegiance to the king of Qin. Then, the military salaries they received were nominally paid by the King of Qin. In this way, the allegiance of the military is strengthened. Not only that, the establishment of the military academy of the Qin State first strengthened the allegiance of officers. At the same time, they repeatedly inculcate this kind of thinking. In this way, the army of the Qin State was loyal to the King of Qin and loyal to the Qin State. They have a strict legal system that regulates all their actions.

The distribution of military salaries, this is the trend. With the state of Qin training the armies of other countries. The military pay system spread rapidly. After the Qin state, the Korean army also joined the ranks of issuing military salaries, followed by the Yan army, and then the Zhao state. In the Qi army, there were also signs of paying military salaries, and the same was true for the soldiers of the Tian family, in order to win the hearts of the people, Tian Heng distributed property to those who fought bravely, and also regularly distributed some property in peacetime to envelop and boost morale. Such an approach. In fact, there is already a shadow of military salaries.

Since other countries do it. The state of Chu is naturally not far behind. Although the official army of the state did not use such an approach. Everyone understands what it means to pay a military salary. It's a lot of money, and who's going to pay for it. There was no willingness to pay the money. So. The regular army of Chu did not adopt a military pay system.

However, in some places, the aristocratic private soldiers began this system, and they began to pay military salaries as a stable income for the soldiers, so that the soldiers had a stable income and began to be loyal to their masters. The loyalty of the servicemen has increased, and the combat effectiveness has increased. It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yan's Xiang family army also began to implement the military salary system, but the biggest problem with military pay is that the military expenditure is unusually huge. This requires a fairly stable income to implement such a system.

The nobles of the Chu State had their own fiefdoms, and they had a limited and stable income, which was the key to their ability to implement a stable military salary system. However, as an army, their income is very limited. Relying on the limited income of the Xiang family is simply not enough to support an increasingly large army, and not only that, but with the obvious strengthening of the role of weapons. The cost of weapons and logistical supplies has increased significantly, which has increased the dependence on funds, without which the army cannot be launched.

"Spending on military salaries, spending on weapons. Logistical supply expenses. None of these expenses can be done by an individual. The king's money was very limited. Old. Xiang Yan bowed her head and was silent at this time.

"Yes." At this time, he nodded his head and gave a sigh of gratitude. Such a situation did make him think about it.

"Does the general have a solution?" Negative asked at this time.

"There will be a law in the end. But ・・・・・・". At this time, Xiang Yan stopped talking.

"The general has a solution, why don't you say it." Said at this time.

"This law ・・・・・・・". This time. Xiang Yan shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Let's get straight to the point." Said at this time.

"Now our army guards this golden waterway. But there is no money to spare. It's really a big joke in the world. At this time, Xiang Yan said.

"What do you mean?" Negative asked at this time.

"Our army can also be involved. The navy can also do this slave business. Dumping goods to various places in the Chu State. Not only that, but you can also. At this time, Xiang Yan said.

"What else?" Negative asked at this time.

"You can also venture into that pirate business." This time. Xiang Yan said.

"This?" Asked about this.

"Childe, the last general is just suggesting that he specialize in robbing those unscrupulous merchants of our country, as well as the ships of various nobles, as well as the ships of the Qin State. In this way, it can subsidize the use of our army. In addition, we will speed up the pace of our army's military fundraising. Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Does this work?" Negative asked at this time.

"Feasible!" Xiang Yan said resolutely at this time.

"Yes." He nodded at this time.

"Then do as the general wants!" This time. Negative said.

"The last will understand." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Is there a specific way for the general?" At this time, he took the initiative to ask.

"Our army also needs some large warships. The kind that is best equipped with cannons. Xiang Yan said at this time.

"In the past, all the ships did not have cannons. Long-range combat is extremely disadvantageous. Both sides fought in close proximity. Springboard tactics are needed to capture their ships, but now, as long as our troops have artillery, they can attack them from a distance to increase the purpose of the capture. Xiang Yan said at this time.

"Yes. These ships, artillery. It's a lot of money. Negative said at this time. Although he didn't know how to carry out the specific tactics, he knew it. These things are expensive. Especially those cannons. Imported from the Qin State, the amount of equipment is small and the cost is huge. But only such a thing can serve the purpose of pirates and water pirates.

"Yes, indeed." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"However, this means a lot to our army." Xiang Yan said affirmatively at this time.

"Then don't be bold enough to spend it. Although the funds are limited. But the money is still very much needed. Negative said at this time.

"Come on, go and send my son's 10,000 gold." At this time, he turned around and ordered.

"Whoa." At this time, a servant stepped forward and agreed.

"Gongzi Xie." At this time, Xiang Yan thanked him.

"The general can do a good job." At this time, he asked. Forthwith. And so it was settled. And on the other side. There was another group of people who bought ships and guns. They are Koreans, and their purpose is the same, but they have another purpose.
