The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Compared with building a large number of fortifications, the cheapness of using mines is obvious.

Building a large number of fortifications requires a large amount of financial expenditure. Think of the Maginot Line and the ancient Great Wall. This requires a large amount of financial funds to be spent on building fortifications. However, from the current point of view, it is impossible for the Qin State to

Spending so much money to build so many fortifications, and landmines are cheap to make, and as long as they are deployed on a large scale, they can form an effective defense belt. This is Qin's best choice at the moment.

"At present, there are only these two types of landmines, which are too few. We need a variety of landmines to block the attack routes of nomadic tribes, and lay out mine belts on a large scale to form an effective defense area to prevent further expansion.

Impact on us." said the procurement officer.

"Then, our Qin State Arsenal will turn its attention to the development and production of this aspect. However, before that, we should order a batch of landmines as soon as possible and send them to Qin State's various border defense lines." Wei Liao knew that as long as the weapons were launched,

By issuing a tender, Qin will be able to obtain a large number of excellent mines.

"In addition to landmines, we also need a series of defense tools, such as barbed wire. We need better barbed wire." Wei Liao said.

"In addition, we must try our best to manufacture other defensive weapons. At present, Qin's overall strategy is defense." Wei Liao said. Due to the current reduction in military expenditures, Qin's army cannot retain large-scale offensives.

Therefore, we can only work on defensive weapons and use large-scale and cheap defensive weapons.

"However, Minister, I think we should not place too much emphasis on defense." A defense advisory officer suggested.

"Well, what do you mean?" At this time, Wei Liao asked.

"Sir, this is what I think. Even if we are on defense, no matter how powerful the mines and barbed wire are, they can stop a lot of cavalry and infantry. However, they are dead objects and quite passive. If there is no mobile force to provide corresponding support,

, this is very detrimental to our situation." The officer suggested.

"Yeah. That's right. Keep talking." Wei Liao felt that what the other party said made sense.

"Yes, sir." The officer thought for a moment, sorted out what was on his mind and said.

"Therefore, our Qin Army's next step should be to find ways to increase mobility or to train accordingly. In this way, we can develop strong mobility and long-range delivery capabilities." The officer said.

"Well. Very good. Prepare this plan. We need a detailed plan." Wei Liao said.

"This is a very important development direction, and we should pay attention to it." Wei Liao has realized this. The army cannot rely solely on strong defense. The army's combat capabilities also require considerable delivery capabilities. Without these Qin

The combat capability of the army will be greatly reduced. Wei Liao knows this very well, and this is what Qin needs at the moment.

Daliang City, Wei State.

"Qin's special envoy told us that the Qin Prime Minister did not want the Wei Provisional Government to expand its power all at once." Gao Ping bent down and said.

"Oh. In this case, Qin State still needs us." The doctor took a sip of tea. After hearing such a result, he felt much more relaxed. At least they were much safer.

"Yes, sir." Gao Ping said.

"It's just that the Prime Minister of Qin doesn't seem to want the King of Wei to continue to exist, and requires us to set up a parliament in Wei and seek joint governance with the interim government of Wei." Gao Ping continued.

"Well, this result is quite unexpected." Doctor Shang nodded.

"Does anyone else know about other situations?" Doctor Shang asked.

"Sir, no more. Only you and I know about this matter," Gao Ping said.

"Well, that's how it is. No one can know about this." Doctor Shang said.

Among Qin's requirements, it does not want the power of King Wei to exist. In other words, as long as King Wei steps down or a government is formed in another way, Qin will recognize the current situation in Wei. The scholar-bureaucrat class in Wei

Generally speaking, they are quite satisfied with the result, because their interests have not been greatly lost. This result is already very good for them.

Wei State Provisional Government.

"After some transactions, we already have a considerable amount of funds to buy arms and expand our armaments." Chen Yu said to Zhang Er.

The so-called transaction is to use a large amount of cheap labor to send to the Qin State to perform labor services in the Qin State and earn labor fees. For these Wei people, it is a thing worth taking the risk.

Although the Wei people had to face a large amount of arrears as soon as they signed the contract, because going to Qin required a lot of transportation costs, such as train tickets to the Western Regions, and initial food and lodging expenses. In order to solve this problem

The problem was that they could only sign such seemingly unfair terms at the beginning. As long as they arrived in the western regions of Qin State, they could earn quite a lot of labor fees. Because the labor fees paid by Qin State were quite high.

The businessmen of the Wei State, as well as Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others, took advantage of this. When they signed the contract with the Qin people, the Qin people included room and board, but when they finally paid for the labor service, the Qin company had to

Not only that, but a considerable part of the expenses were deducted, the Qin State Company also provided transportation to the places where the Qin State started construction. In this way, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and quite a few Wei businessmen actually

It only plays the role of an organization, but without such an organization, they cannot continue.

It was this kind of business that was equivalent to no capital. Zhang Er, Chen Yu, and a considerable number of businessmen made a lot of money. As a result, the Wei State Provisional Government levied the first batch of commercial taxes. With such a sum

After the income, the Provisional Government of Wei used it to purchase a large number of weapons to expand its army.

"Well. Our militia also gathered quickly. Many people wanted revenge. In addition, we used the captured weapons. Our militia suddenly had three regiments and two battalions. Our strength exceeded the 10,000 mark for the first time." Chen

Yu said confidently.

"If the Korean army helps us again, we will be able to fight the Wei army and capture Daliang City, and we will be able to control the Wei state." Chen Yu imagined.

"Brother Chen, do you think we can fight a battle with the Wei army?" Zhang Er said without confidence. Because the Wei militia has only been established not long ago, and the weapons and equipment are not generally equipped. Under such circumstances,

A decisive battle is needed. Zhang Er is not so confident.

"Yes. We can fight. We have the advantage in weapons, and we also have the help of South Korea. As long as South Korea helps us, we still have the advantage." Chen Yu said.

"The Koreans have artillery, and the Wei army is most afraid of artillery. The Wei army has been continuously beaten by the Koreans. As long as the artillery fire starts, we can win this war. This is simply a decisive war." Chen Yu

Said to Zhang Er with confidence.

"But, if we do this, can we really defeat the Wei army?" Zhang Er asked unconfidently.

"It should be okay, don't forget. The Koreans are on our side," Zhang Er said.

"But Koreans won't do everything for us." Zhang Er said cautiously.

"We'll be fine if we give it a try. If we don't give it a try, we can't do anything," Chen Yu said.

"Okay." Zhang Er agreed. As for the idea of ​​​​suddenly solving the Wei army once and for all, Zhang Er's idea came from his assessment of the Wei army. The current Wei army is still an old-style army. Their weapons, equipment, organization and command are not very good.

Big changes. During this period, South Korea's new army has undergone great changes, including weapons, equipment, organization, and tactics. It is precisely because of this reason that the Wei army has been unable to resist the new South Korean army.

army's attack.

It was precisely after seeing this that Chen Yu thought of defeating the Wei army with the help of the new Korean army. In this case, the Wei government would be able to gain more rights and seize the beams to gain actual control of the Wei state.

Chen Yu found Wei's staff to discuss the matter. The staff began to carefully consider the operational feasibility. At the same time, the matter was quickly reported to Xinzheng and handed over to South Korea's Xinzheng to make the final decision.

Decide.

"This Zhang Er is really giving us a problem." Han Shu said after reading the telegram.

"They have a good idea. They want to use our strength to defeat the Wei army." Han Shu said.

Zhang Er's idea did not take South Korea's feelings into consideration at all. However, South Korea had to consider whether to help the people of Wei and to what extent. This completely depends on the delicate relationship between Wei and Wei.

"Your Majesty, South Korea cannot help Wei too much." Zhang Liang said after reading the telegram.

"Well, we must also pay attention to the thoughts of the people of Qin." Han Shu said.

"Yes, the people of Qin definitely do not want a Zhang Er government to control the entire Wei State, nor do they want our Korean family to dominate and occupy the unknown Wei State in the center. The people of Qin have already agreed to our current situation. If we continue to expand,

It will definitely arouse Qin's suspicion and alertness." Han Shu said worriedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We must take into account the thoughts of the people of Qin. Currently, the relationship between Qin and South Korea is extremely delicate and balanced. This balance comes from the fact that South Korea's actions are smaller and the economy is in step with the people of Qin.

, However, once we expand too much, this balanced relationship will be unbalanced, which will inevitably cause Qin's worry and vigilance." After Zhang Liang read the telegram, he immediately thought of this, South Korea and

The state of Qin is very delicate and balanced. If you rashly get involved in the affairs of the state of Wei, this balance will be broken.

"Such a balance is very important for the development of South Korea. However, we have to help Wei State's situation. You must know that many of Wei State's current treaties are helped by the government. Moreover, if we withdraw at this time,

It will be difficult to guarantee South Korea's interests in Wei in the future, and we must find a balance between the two parties." Han Shu thought for a while and said.

South Korea must make a choice between the Provisional Government of Wei and the Government of King Wei. However, South Korea cannot go too far because Qin does not want to see the power of the Provisional Government of Wei further expanded. In this case, South Korea cannot help.

Too many, but if you don’t help, the Wei State Provisional Government will lose some of the rights it has gained. If the victor in the war is the Wei State Provisional Government, then because of not helping, Zhang Er will resent South Korea’s behavior. In this case,

This is very detrimental to South Korea.

But if we don't do this, South Korea will break this balance, which is something Qin doesn't want to see. Therefore, South Korea's choice is very important.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After I saw it just now, I thought of a way." At this time, Zhang Liang said.

"Oh, tell me." Han Shu asked with interest.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang said.

"Your Majesty, what South Korea needs to do now is not to help the Zhang Er government of Wei State too much. The Zhang Er government wants to solve the current Wei army once and for all. Of course, the Zhang Er government of Wei State only has militiamen. These militiamen are not well trained.

Their weapons and equipment are not sufficient. Although they have certain advantages in terms of weapons, they are just a group of infantry and they need artillery support from our South Korean side." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, that's true. I have heard the evaluation given to them by the front line. They have insufficient training and insufficient equipment. Whether their combat effectiveness can fight the Wei army head-on, the evaluation given by the staff is not high," Han Shu said.

arrive.

"Yes, Your Majesty, therefore, as long as we provide them with certain artillery support and no cavalry support, the final battle will have to be carried out by the Wei militia. In other words, the final key to victory still depends on

Militia." Zhang Liang said.

"In this case, South Korea will not break the original balance but also take into account the requirements of the Wei government. This is the best balance for us." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, we only need to send artillery to provide some fire support. The rest is not needed at all." Han Shu said.

"Yes, the decisive battle still needs to be done by the Wei people themselves." Zhang Liang said.

"Well, let's settle it like this and let the people of Wei decide their own affairs." Han Shu decided.

In the staff camp on the Korean front line, the Korean staff were not optimistic about Wei's request at all.

"We don't need to conduct war games to know that the Wei militia relying on the militia for a decisive battle will definitely suffer a disastrous defeat." A major staff officer said disdainfully.

"That's right, we are kind-hearted to help them train, but their militiamen have such a loose attitude. I guess after they shoot one round, they will find that there is no discipline. Their militiamen will be defeated. These Wei militiamen are really crazy.

" said a captain staff officer.

"If our cavalry participates, the situation may change a lot." said the Lieutenant Colonel Operations Director on the side.

"Yes, sir. That's true," the staff major said.

"With the addition of fire support from our artillery, the Wei militia still has some chance of winning." said the Chief of Operations.

The Chief of Operations has already imagined the battle scene in his mind. However, this is only part of his imagination.

"If anything else happens on the battlefield, if we don't use cavalry, what will be the consequences?" the director of operations said, looking at the sand table.

"It is simply impossible for the Wei militia to defeat the Wei army. Our artillery cannot support it. The two sides are fighting in a melee, using bayonets, and the Wei militia has insufficient training. How many of them can go to the battlefield to stabilize this situation?" the director of operations imagined.

All battlefield situations.

"It's impossible. It's impossible. There's no such possibility for the Wei militia." said the Chief of Operations.

"Just, sir, why can't we use cavalry?" At this time, the major on the side asked.

"Politics, if we send out artillery and cavalry units, then this war will be fought by us. What we can do is provide some fire support, which is pretty good." said the director of operations.

"It's impossible to send out infantry. Our artillery may only fire a base number and then retreat." The director of the operations department boldly speculated. The reason why he dared to make such a plan was that South Korea did not want to expand the war, because he knew that the superiors wanted to

The issue of military expenditure expansion has been debated a lot. If South Korea participates, the higher authorities will vigorously intervene. It is because of this consideration that South Korea's cavalry is removed and artillery is used as fire support.

On the Western Plateau of Qin State.

"Upa." The shopkeeper saw Upa, who had one of his arms chopped off, being pushed to the ground by the Yuezhi people.

"The shopkeeper." Upa was beaten until his whole body turned blue.

"Damn it." The shopkeeper was now suppressed on the edge of a cliff, and most of his men were sacrificed to protect him.

"Shopkeeper, the Yuezhi people don't want to annoy you. They just want to discuss some business with you." Upa said tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid," the shopkeeper said.

"Shopkeeper, the Yuezhi people want a lot of arms, a lot, and they have quite a lot of gold coins in their hands. I don't know how the Yuezhi people found me, but the price they gave is very good. We might as well sell it to them.

That’s it.” Upa said.

"I don't care about this. These damn Yuezhi people should be killed." The shopkeeper understood the Yuezhi people's arms demand as the Yuezhi people wanted to retaliate against the Qin State. Therefore, they absolutely ignored the other party's behavior and were unwilling to stay alive or dead.

Give the other person a living mouth.

"Bang. Bang." The shopkeeper fired with the revolver in his hand. The bullets caused some chaos to the Yuezhi people. Then the shopkeeper jumped into the cliff.

Seeing such a scene, the Yuezhi in the distance sighed and felt very sorry. The Yuezhi wanted to use a large amount of arms to attack southward. Because of the squeeze from the Qin State, they could only keep moving westward, but to

On the way west they encountered strong enemies, so they turned south.

However, Qin's firearms shocked them greatly. They wanted to buy a large number of Qin's firearms to equip their army and prepare for their future march south, because with such firearms they could easily defeat the enemy, so

, they wanted to find people from Qin to discuss this matter.

They learned about the existence of Upa through the exchange of goods in the market. They thought that Upa must have its own way, so they wanted to follow Upa to find the people of Qin. However, their method was wrong. The value of Yue people and

There was a war between Qin, which made it even more difficult for Qin's special team to let go. The two sides formed a deadlock, and the Yuezhi people were eager to get Qin's weapons. After this clue was cut off, they could only

Looking for another way.

The southern border of Qin State.

"Why do you people from the Western Regions want so many arms?" a Qin businessman asked curiously.

"Oh. Your weapons are very good. They are very powerful and easy to use. We use them to defend ourselves." At this time, a Western businessman with a goat's horn beard replied.

"Defense yourself?" the Qin merchant asked suspiciously.

"Don't be ridiculous. With so much munitions, an army can be formed. You have bought more than 3,000 muskets from me. There are 30,000 bullets. Who are you kidding with such dense ammunition?" Qin

The Chinese businessman said.

"We consume too much. They don't have enough training on this weapon." The merchant from the Western Regions said quickly.

"Haha." The Qin merchant smiled.

"I don't care about these things. Don't tell me. Knowing too much may not be a good thing." The Qin businessman waved his arms and said.

"As long as you keep buying from me, I don't care about anything." The Qin merchant said to the other party at this time. He knew that since the other party didn't want to say anything, he should stop saying it. If there was any, he could only get it from other places.

Come out. It is obviously impossible to hope that the other party will speak out on his own.

"So, what do you want to do?" asked the businessman from the Western Regions.

"It's very simple." said the Qin merchant.

"Make more money." The Qin businessman said easily.

"There is a big deal now. I want to discuss it with you." The Qin merchant said at this time.

"What big deal?" At this time, the merchant from the Western Regions asked.

"What you are buying are things like rifles and pistols. How can I say these things? They have lethality, but they are too weak." The Qin businessman said.

"I have a batch of goods in my hand. It is incredibly powerful. Once sent out, it can kill many people. It is possible to kill more than a hundred people at once." The Qin merchant said disdainfully.

"This. This..." The merchant from the Western Regions looked at the Qin merchant in surprise.

"Could it be? Could it be?" The Western Region businessman asked in a low voice at this time, because his heart was beating very hard now.

"Cannon." The Qin merchant said easily.

"Cannon. Cannon. It's a cannon." The merchant from the Western Regions said excitedly.

"It's really a cannon." The Western Region businessman suddenly became excited.

"Yes. It's a cannon. I have a batch of such goods on hand. This thing is good and powerful. Once the cannon is fired, the infantry will turn into ashes. With the rifle in their hands, they can't resist the opponent at all." Qin Businessman

described to.

"If you buy so many artillery and fire them together, it will be like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Tens of thousands of troops will be scattered at once. It will be like paper." The Qin businessman kept saying.

"Okay, good stuff. Good stuff." The Western Region businessman suddenly realized that this artillery was a good thing.
