In the Xianyang Railway Station of the State of Qin, trains from all over the country were parked on the platform. The platform was full of people. They all came to Xianyang from all over the country. Xianyang has become a metropolis, and the railway station has become the place with the most dense population flow.

One of the regions.

"Guanzhong is going to hold a federal conference. I don't know what Guanzhong means?" said a representative from Xiaowangzhou.

"What do you mean? Federation." Another congressman in his fifties answered.

"Federation?" the congressman asked.

"Yes." The fifty-year-old congressman nodded and said nothing more. Congressional representatives from all over the country generally believed that the purpose of Guanzhong convening representatives from various states for the federal conference this time was to hand over some of the powers of the states.

.Although there are objections from various states, each has its own pros and cons. They came here this time to actually discuss whether to have a federation.

Inside Naofumi's office.

"Representatives from several states have arrived in Xianyang now. Through contact, they have not very consistent attitudes towards the federation. Some of them are opposed, but some are in favor. However, they do not agree with some of the previous clauses and think that they can be renewed.

Revise it." Meng Yi reported to Shang Wen. With the arrival of the first batch of representatives, Shang Wen asked Meng Yi to explore some voices to judge the attitude of the people in each state.

"Yes." Naofumi nodded.

"There is still some time before the meeting." Naofumi said.

"Let's do this. Let's put this issue out there," Naofumi said.

"Let them fully discuss and solve the problems they encounter as much as possible." Shangwen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"Well, what's the topic of the issue?" Meng Yi asked.

"Which one is better, federalism or confederacy?" Naofumi said.

"Confederation?" Meng Yi asked curiously.

"Yes. Federalism is actually the formation of a unified central government by each state. Confederation is a loose alliance." Naofumi said.

"Let the professors explain this issue specifically to them. At the same time, we also discuss it in newspapers. Let the public know this. Let them express their thoughts and explain the situation." Naofumi continued.

.

"Yeah, I think it works. This is the main topic of discussion this time." Meng Yi said.

"Yes. That's the issue." Naofumi said.

"However, I personally prefer to implement a federal system. The economic situation in various places is not very good. The current situation is that the central government respects the local governments and does not take charge of them. But the local governments do not have the ability to do it now. This requires

Let the central government do it. For example, build roads, carry out some infrastructure construction, railways, water conservancy projects, environmental protection, etc. These aspects need to be done by the central government because each state cannot have such large financial and material resources.

, to be carried out by manpower. Take the construction of railways and highways in various states as an example. Only a few states can complete it, and it is difficult for the rest of the states to complete it. Those that can be completed are barely completed, or they may be carried out in several years. This has a great impact on the states.

In terms of economic construction, it is very slow. In addition, the economic conditions of each state are different, which can easily lead to uneven development.

After the establishment of the federal government, the power of Guanzhong will be greatly expanded, and it will be able to concentrate its efforts on solving these problems. At the same time, the various states have not lost their vitality. And they are not very rigid. They have a certain degree of activity.

This is good for developing the identity of the local economy.

As for the confederation system, in fact, it is to unite to form an alliance, but in fact, they are still developing their own affairs. This is not very good for solving the Western Regions and digesting the areas occupied by Qin. Therefore, on this issue

, Naofumi is more inclined to federalism. This is also the reason for federalism from the beginning. However, various states still have some concerns about the federation. These concerns are mainly about tax issues. Some states have large populations and rapid economic development. They think that it may

They will pay more in taxes, and this money could have been used on their own states. This can easily lead to regional insularity. In any case, the federation is good for Qin and good for all states.

In the Western Regions, the Qin army still maintained a strong vigilance. The westernmost fortress in the southern border of Qin State was a small mountain fort.

"Damn it. These people from the Western Regions have already done business with our people. Why do we still have to be vigilant?" A corporal said while drinking water with his upper body bare. The temperature at noon next door was very high. Plus it was summer here.

In the end, the situation can be imagined.

"Be careful. We are on the edge here. If something happens, no one can quickly support us." A sergeant said with dry lips.

"Old Zhang, drink some water. Your mouth is so dry." the corporal said.

"Yes." The sergeant took a telescope to look at the situation in the distance.

"Look carefully," the sergeant said. He then took off the telescope hanging around his neck and handed it to the other party. He did not ascend naked. He was wearing a linen gown. Many Qin soldiers were like this in this weather.

They were all on guard with their shirts bare. The temperature here was ridiculously high. Many soldiers couldn't stand it anymore.

"What the hell is going on?" The corporal stood up unsteadily and took the telescope.

"This wretched place, not even a bird comes. Every day, there are just these broken soil, broken sand, or a few rotten trees." The corporal complained. Military life is boring and meaningless, especially this kind of defensive mission, many soldiers

Neither of them want to. Mainly because it’s too tiring.

"Ah." The corporal hit him.

"The weather is perfect for a good night's sleep," the corporal continued.

"Take a good look." Lao Zhang said. He took a sip of water and felt that his throat felt much cooler.

"Yeah." The corporal nodded. Then he looked through the binoculars.

"Normal. Normal." The corporal said, looking around.

"What's going on?" At this moment, the corporal saw smoke appearing on the wall to the west, which was a sign of the cavalry's appearance.

"It's impossible, it's such a hot day. How can it be possible?" the corporal said in disbelief, holding the telescope.

"What's wrong?" Sergeant Lao Zhang got up at this time and asked.

"Look." The corporal pointed at the situation in the distance and said. Lao Zhang took the telescope and looked over.

"Depending on the situation, well, it seems to be the cavalry," the sergeant said.

"It seems so." The corporal nodded and confirmed.

"Quick. Alarm." Lao Zhang immediately shouted loudly at this time.

"Ding ding ding ding." Random Lao Zhang immediately sounded the alarm.

"Dududu. Dududu." Lao Zhang picked up the trumpet again and shouted loudly. The rapid sound of the trumpet resounded throughout the fortress.

Inside the fortress.

"There's a situation, there's a situation." A shirtless officer shouted loudly. He held his own weapon and carried a bullet belt and shouted loudly.

"Quick. There's a situation." As the officer shouted loudly, the soldiers who were passing the boring time quickly stood up and quickly picked up their weapons.

On the commanding heights of the fortress, the hill fortress was built on a small hill next door. This is the only commanding heights nearby. From this commanding heights, the Qin army's artillery can fire at any area. They can block the eastward advance of the Westerners.

Road. An infantry company of the Qin Army is stationed here. In order to increase the firepower of the infantry company, three mortars were specially added here. In addition, there are three horizontal-firing cannons to enhance the firepower configuration here.

"What's going on?" asked a neatly dressed captain officer, holding a telescope to look around. Because of the hot weather, his back was wet. Even so, the officer was still neatly dressed. The officer behind him

The same is true, but there is already a lot of sweat on their faces.

"The forward guard post reported that they spotted the cavalry approaching, just to the west." A lieutenant officer said. Then he wiped the sweat with his hand.

"Yeah." The captain nodded.

"Who are they?" asked the captain.

"I don't know, sir. I can't see clearly. The weather is too hot. It looks like it's shaking too hard." The lieutenant officer said. A fortress of the Qin Army is fully equipped. In order to strengthen the defense and control capabilities and make up for the lack of troops, the outpost

The Qin Army will lay a telephone line between the Qin Army and the command post, so as to facilitate timely feedback on the situation, and to grasp the information in a timely manner, so as to save troops to a greater extent.

This is how the forward sentry informed the command post immediately.

"Get ready to fight," the captain ordered.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant nodded.

"Crash." On the forward position, the soldiers of the Qin Army were quickly entering the position. However, many soldiers were shirtless, and only a few were wearing jackets. The officers were also walking back and forth with their shirts bare to check the situation.

"This weather is so hot." A private held his weapon and looked up at the sun in the sky.

"Damn, I'm so thirsty. I really want to go back to the logistics warehouse in the back and have a nice drink," said the private.

"What the hell are the enemies? I'm here to drink their blood." The veteran next to him said angrily when he heard this. Fighting in such harsh conditions, the soldiers felt very uncomfortable. The veterans were afraid of their enemies attacking them.

, even more annoyed. This is a kind of torture for them.

"Boom, boom, boom." At this moment, the cavalry was approaching. The soldiers could already see clearly that the enemies were arranging and reshaping in the distance.

Inside the command post.

"They don't look like people from the Western Regions," the captain said, holding a telescope.

"Sir, their cavalry is organizing an attack," the lieutenant said.

"Wait and see. Wait for them to attack," the captain said.

"Yes, sir." the lieutenant said. Then they continued to wait and observe the enemy's situation. Through the telescope, they saw the enemy queues were arranged. As for how many people came, they could not see clearly because the smoke raised by the cavalry in front obscured the view.

Already.
