When the news came that Qi and Zhao had united to hold exercises, the people of Qin dismissed it. They believed that the two countries joining together could not defeat the attack of a regular division of Qin. And as long as Qin was willing

The large number of cavalry stationed in the north can move south on a large scale like a few nomadic tribes at any time. Even if the six countries unite, they will not be able to defeat the Qin army.

The Qin State was busy. All kinds of material orders came in one after another. Especially from the Yan State. The Yan State Embassy sold an entire restaurant as its own embassy. Here, the diplomats working in the embassy finally experienced a big boss. They

There are orders in hand. And Qin has many

All the arsenals in the country are snatching this order. The State of Yan went crazy. After they discovered the gold mine, they frantically mobilized the whole country to mine it. Gold became the most effective bargaining chip in their hands. They could exchange it for banknotes or checks at the Qin State Bank.

After that, they started purchasing like crazy.

From clothing, belts, to perfume, glass, to muskets and artillery, they bought everything Qin had. They bought without restraint and then hired a large number of carriages to deliver them to Yan. Qin's economy was further stimulated by it.

Next. Industry and commerce developed very rapidly.

Various factories in the Qin State are producing day and night, especially the arsenal. Due to the restrictions of the Qin State's "Export Arms Act", the arsenal can only produce relatively backward flintlock guns and bullets, especially raw materials, which are mined rapidly.

Improvement. To this end, some people join expeditions. They are eager to find minerals to make a fortune.

It is not only these entities that are making money, but also a large number of financial institutions. A large number of corporate stocks have begun to be listed on the exchange for financing. On futures exchanges, wheat and corn transactions are active. At the same time, newly listed flax oil and animal fats are also very active. Flax oil is

Vegetable oil is an important raw material for making food. It is especially an important raw material for some grease cakes supplied by the army. Animal fat is an important raw material for bullets. They need a lot of grease to seal paper bullets.

The banking industry made a lot of money. When the Yan State was short of gold supply, the banks would lend money to the other party. When the other party's gold was delivered, they often had a high income of 10%. War became a good way for them to make a fortune.

Chance.

Yan State is not stupid either. They know that the amount of gold mining is limited. So they also hire some security companies to enter Liaodong of Yan State to capture slaves. Sometimes they also send their own people to participate. Because the slave trade is very profitable.

This was Ju Xin's idea.

The targets of slavery are today's Koreans. Shangwen doesn't know what they were called at this time, but he knows that they are doing this. There are many Korean settlements in Liaodong. These settlements are densely populated and are very ideal locations for attacks.

The security company often took advantage of the darkness to launch a sudden attack. Then they dragged out those Koreans who spoke strange words, formed a team and escorted them to Qin's concession. Some people tried to

The security personnel were also very rude. They just threw cheap ignition grenades in and blew them all to death. Those who were not killed were killed with a knife. Then they pulled out a few people to clean up the bodies. The security personnel began to set up in these places.

Landmark. Because the land can also be sold for money. The Qin government is willing to spend money to acquire these lands. The Yan government obviously did not think of it at the beginning. They just captured slaves. Capture slaves.

The slave trade was destroying Qin's potential opponents one after another. At the same time, a new civilization was established there. Qin civilization.

The development trend of the Qin State is very good. The exercises are also carried out in the north. The pattern in the north is different from that in Taiyuan. Taiyuan mainly uses infantry, while the north mainly uses large-scale cavalry. The exercises are very boring. Because the cavalry always rides

Running back and forth on horseback. Meng Tian thought that instead of practicing, it would be more interesting to break them into pieces and cross the desert to harass the Huns.

In contrast, Zhao Jun seemed very nervous. Their teams were mobilized back and forth. As soon as each team arrived, they immediately drove out and then participated in the exercise.

At the same time as the exercise, a large number of smuggled weapons dealers began to be frequently active in Zhao Jun's camp. Zhao Jun was frantically purchasing muskets. This also caused the price of muskets on the market to soar from the original thirty and a half liang to fifty and a half liang.

King Zhao almost emptied the treasury and spent a lot of money to purchase muskets. However, the number of muskets equipped by Zhao's army was still limited. There were only 80,000. The most lacking thing was artillery. Qin still restricted the export of artillery. Zhao's artillery

The casting technology was not as good as that of the Qin State. In desperation, a large number of inferior artillery began to enter the Zhao army. The casualties of the artillery were several times that of the infantry. The artillery became the most dangerous unit.

Muskets could not be used on a large scale like the Qin State, so they had no choice but to form a team with a mixture of gunpowder weapons and cold weapons.

The infantry is still the main force. But there are three rows of musketeers in front of them. They must use the principle of three rows of shooting to defeat the opponent's formation. Then charge with bayonets and gun butts. Behind them are a large number of spears, spears, and spears.

Soldiers with cold weapons such as halberds. After breaking through the front line, they were the force of the charge. Before, they had to follow closely and charge.

But this must be done by cavalry. As the Qin army eliminated hidden dangers in the north, a large number of horses entered Zhao State. Zhao State also began to learn to equip the cavalry team. They made a large number of stirrups, horseshoes and other items themselves. The weapons were spears.

Li Mu's idea is simple.

When artillery is unable to confront the Qin army, it can only rely on fast and powerful cavalry to approach the opponent. Then the infantry phalanx that follows quickly must quickly follow up and cooperate with the cavalry to open up the situation. This is a very tragic strategy. But it is also

It was a helpless move, because before charging, they had to face a large number of artillery bombardments. Moreover, their physical strength was also very high, because the artillery extended the attack distance very much.

For this reason, Zhao Jun also began to make major reforms. They no longer used bulky armor, because it was really draining of physical strength and could not withstand bullets. At the same time, their charging formation began to become abnormal.

Loose. Only when entering combat distance, usually within the last fifty steps, do you start to slow down and gather into formation.

Before that, the cavalry must charge at all costs. No matter what the situation is, they must keep charging and tear apart the opponent's defense line as much as possible. Only the infantry who follow behind will have room to play.

Li Mu once thought of sneak attack on the opponent's artillery position, but it was impossible. Through Qin's newspapers, Li Mu had deduced that Qin had put artillery in a core position. The core of the military formation was the artillery position. This was a powerful statement.

A terrifying opponent with firepower.
