The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Regarding military pay, Tian Heng, who is far away in Xinzheng, South Korea, is also actively raising funds. The most critical issue in whether the war can be fought is not the strength of troops or aid, but funding. This war is obviously about financial resources.

But now no country wants to participate in Qi State's matter, because the benefits obtained from Qi State are too few. Participation will be detrimental to its own country. Zhao State is in domestic chaos. Yan State makes the war breathless. They

We need to rebuild our own country. South Korea is in a tight financial situation and is unwilling to participate. Its own water power alone consumes a lot, and South Korea no longer has the financial resources to provide support.

The situation in Qin is not good either. Qin is in a period of national fiscal contraction. Qin is reducing fiscal expenditures, especially defense expenditures, and then focusing on domestic infrastructure and other scientific infrastructure. In this way

, Qin State could not help Qi State.

Xianyang, Qin State. In the backyard of Guowei Mansion.

"You are so laid-back." Wang Jian sat down and said, looking at Wei Liao who was drinking tea slowly.

"Occasionally, I have free time, I just have free time." At this time, Wei Liao personally poured a cup of tea for Wang Jian.

"Try the tea from the south of Chu. It tastes pretty good." Wei Liao said at this time.

"Forget it. I can't get used to drinking this." Wang Jian looked at the tea and said. The trend of drinking tea has emerged in Qin State, and even other countries have followed suit. From the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone has accepted it.

The custom of drinking tea has emerged. It is precisely for this reason that the state of Chu has

He started a new business project and gained income from the tea business. But Wang Jian was not used to it. He believed that drinking tea was not good for soldiers because drinking tea was too comfortable. If they were too comfortable and enjoyed, it would weaken the will of the soldiers.

Wang Jian firmly refused to accept this.

"Well, then don't force it." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian and said.

"You invited me here just for tea, right? If that's the case, I'll leave. I don't have time to chat like this." Wang Jian said.

"Haha." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian with a smile at this time. Wang Jian had recently returned to his post, but he was given the title of Acting Chief of Staff. In other words, the King of Qin did not officially give Wang Jian the title of Chief of General Staff.

.

"The king sent a telegram and wanted to hear our views on the Qin-Han alliance. I wonder what the old general's views are?" Wei Liao said leisurely while drinking tea.

"Well, I am also thinking about this matter. This matter cannot be viewed purely from a military perspective. But I only know how to look at the problem from a military perspective." Wang Jian said.

"Old General, tell me." Wei Liao said.

"Okay. I'll tell you." Wang Jian sat down and straightened up.

"The current Qin State is the strongest in terms of combat power." Wang Jian said.

"But this is also the period when there are the most problems." Wang Jian said. Wei Liao nodded at this time.

"The total strength of the Qin State is limited to about 250,000, but the territory of the Qin State has reached its current largest area. The north, as well as the western regions of the Qin State. These places require far more than 250,000 defensive troops.

As a result, Qin's mobile military strength has been greatly reduced. The maximum number of troops that can be mobilized cannot exceed 50,000." Wang Jian said. Wang Jian carefully analyzed Qin's current situation.

The expansion of Qin's territory is too large. A large territory is naturally a good thing for a country, but the problem always has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Qin's resources have expanded a lot, but the disadvantage is that Qin's resources have expanded a lot.

The territory is very large, so the defensive force needs to be very large, and a lot of money needs to be spent on national defense. At present, Qin can only passively adopt such a situation.

As a result, the country's originally small military force could mobilize only about 50,000 military mobile forces. These 50,000 or so were calculated, and these 50,000 were established in the Qin State.

As long as there are no wars along the borders, Qin will not be able to expand eastward or in any direction.

"The May tax case restricts Qin from increasing taxes at present. As a result, fiscal expenditures will be reduced, and defense expenditures will be the first to bear the brunt." Wang Jian said.

"The Qin army during this period was unable to expand. Although it was the strongest, it was unable to send troops to the east to attack the six kingdoms." Wang Jian said.

"Although Qin has the strongest military, the dilemma lies here. It's true." Wang Jian shook his head, then impatiently picked up the tea and drank it.

"Gudong". Wang Jian, who had a clean mouth, stuck out his tongue.

"This tea is really terrible to drink." Wang Jian said.

"Haha." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian with a smile.

"The Qin army cannot send troops, or sends very few troops, and its control will be weakened. If it forms an alliance with South Korea, then will there be a very powerful enemy on the side of Qin? This is an important point that I worry about after the alliance between Qin and South Korea, sir.

As I said, we should make friends far away and attack close by. South Korea should be a country we attack, not a country we can ally with. I am really worried about this," Wang Jian said.

"Yes." Wei Liao nodded when he heard this. During the process of Qin's unification, Wei Liao did propose such a strategic policy, using diplomacy and military strikes to accelerate Qin's unification, but now Qin has already

A lot has changed. The original policy no longer seems to be that useful.

"It turns out that I did propose such a strategic policy to the king, but at present, such a policy is no longer applicable." Wei Liao said lightly. Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Listen.

At this point, Wang Jian looked at Wei Liao in surprise.

"You don't have to look at it this way, General. Today's situation is indeed different from the past. If we can count it as unified, Qin has been unified." Wei Liao said with a smile.

"This is so kind to you, sir." Wang Jian sat upright and looked at Wei Liao.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Shangwen." Wei Liao said.

"I've been thinking about it carefully recently. Thanks to this tea. It's a good thing that can calm the mind." Wei Liao said.

"Oh. This thing also has this effect." Wang Jian said while looking at the tea.

"Yes." Wei Liao nodded.

"When the king sent the telegram, I had already rethought Qin's current strategic direction. Qin." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian.

"We can no longer unify using the original method. In other words, the Qin State has achieved the goal of unification to a certain extent. At present, the Qin State is digesting the resources brought by this unification." Wei Liao looked at Wang Jian and said.

Wang Jian still doesn't understand.

"Our Prime Minister Shangwen thinks further and longer than we do," Wei Liao said.

"Before, what we thought was to use force to conquer all countries as much as possible, but what is the purpose of conquering countries? It is to unify the resources of this country. But Prime Minister Naofumi is different. He adopted a trade-driven approach to unite all countries.

resources will be mobilized." Wei Liao said.

"After the unification of the Qin State, the territory of the State of Qin increased greatly. This did not necessarily mean that the national strength increased greatly. Although the taxes of the State of Qin increased, the strategic direction was lost. However, Prime Minister Shang Wen turned the direction of Qin State's guns and directed Qin State to the north.

, turned its guns westward and expanded a lot of land. In this way, Qin's strategic direction became even greater. Although Qin could not expand eastward, occupy the six countries, and unify the world, it could do so.

The effect of unifying the world. Currently, all the wealth is in Qin. As long as Qin makes a little movement, it can alert the six countries to react. Although Qin cannot agree with the world, it has achieved the effect of unifying the world. As long as some time is given.

These countries are like fruits on the branches. When they are ripe, they will naturally fall into Qin's pocket without being picked by Qin." Wei Liao said with a smile.

"Oh." Although Wang Jian knew some of Shang Wen's ideas, there seemed to be something in Wei Liao's mysterious statement. This kind of thing made Wang Jian unable to guess.

Wei Liao, on the other hand, has recently thought about Shangwen's actions from a higher perspective. On the surface, Shangwen seems to be reversing the changes in Qin. This change seems to have such a purpose from the beginning. In fact,

, Shangwen himself had no such plan. But Wei Liao was thinking about it carefully.

The Qin State attacked the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north. Then it expanded to the west and expanded the Western Regions. It seems that the Qin State expanded a large land territory and obtained resources that the Qin State and the other six countries did not have before. However, the expansion of these territories

, which actually contained Qin’s military power, that is,

It is said that Qin's national defense strength was invisibly consumed. At the same time, the country changed its previous single agricultural structure. Shangwen took advantage of the opportunity of the war to vigorously develop commerce, industry, and banking. The industry used military industrial enterprises as a backbone. After the war,

Quickly switch to civilian use for military expenses

The banking industry that served the people quickly shifted to the civilian market. All of these established a complete system for the Qin State, and this system appeared unconsciously. The emergence of this system completely changed the Qin Dynasty since Shang Yang's reform.

The situation of a large agricultural country with a single country. Qin

All walks of life in the country developed rapidly. With the help of this system, agriculture quickly transformed into the strongest agriculture. Everything seemed unreasonable, but it cleverly promoted the internal reform of Qin State itself. This

The reform was completed quietly and unconsciously.

Wei Liao was amazed by the internal changes. These were only noticed after they happened. However, Wei Liao did not notice the changes. This gave Wei Liao a completely new understanding of Shang Wen.

In terms of diplomatic strategy, judging from the current situation of Qin State, the strategy of making friends far away and attacking closely does not seem to be applicable. Or maybe it is still available in Qin State's new territories, but when it comes to the east, it needs to be changed again.

There are new intentions. And such intentions are the significance of the current Qin-Korean alliance. At this point, the theoretical conditions for the establishment of the Qin-Korean alliance are also explained.
