Chapter 1211: Linzi Danger

A meaningless quarrel usually does not solve the problem. Especially in this battle of interests for seats. Many people know that no one can let the seats belong to them only with their lip service. The most important thing is strength, not words.

So some bankers believe that this is not the time to fight for a verbal victory, and they should do something practical. For example, how to integrate their current resources.

"Our advantages are not very clear. In some businesses, we still need others to complete them together, and these resources are scattered, which is very detrimental to our advantages. At least, we have no advantages at all." Said a banker of the Qin National Intermediate Bank.

"So..." a middle-aged banker on the side asked at this time. He desperately wants to know some specific ideas.

"So, we need to unite. Integrate our resources and combine your advantages with mine. In this way, we can form a brand new group, and this group will increase its strength. Perhaps in this way, we can be in this seat. Fight for a while." This time. Said the first banker.

"En. Your idea is very good. I am very interested. If you are interested, we can talk about it." This time. Said the middle-aged banker.

"En. I think we can." The first banker readily agreed. He thinks this is an opportunity. Crisis is a great opportunity. When faced with new opportunities and challenges, if you can clearly understand and change your state, then it is very likely to seize this opportunity.

Ever since, Qin's bankers started a simple union. Although their purpose was simple, it was indeed the first step taken by Qin's banking circles. This may be the prototype of the earliest Qin syndicate model.

However, these things need to be slowly combined. It takes time, and many things take time to reach a whole new situation.

in the South. The Chu State Navy had a new movement.

"Please look at the general. This is the latest twenty-eight artillery boat built by our army." A general guided Xiang Yan.

"General, this running ship is loaded with twenty-eight Qin guns. These guns are powerful in range. They can easily defeat any ship on the river, including Qin's iron-hulled ships." The general said excitedly. Tao.

"How is the staffing?" Xiang Yan asked at this time.

"A warship is staffed from one hundred fifty to two hundred people." The general said respectfully at this time.

"When will the ship launch?" Xiang Yan asked again at this time.

"In three days at the earliest," the general replied.

"Can personnel board the ship to fight?" Xiang Yan asked again at this time.

"It takes some time." The general replied.

"En." Xiang Yan stopped questioning for a while, and Xiang Yan picked up his binoculars to check some conditions of the warship being built not far away. The size of warships is not much different from the size of some actual commercial ships. The main difference is that warships are equipped with more weapons, while merchant ships have fewer weapons.

"How many such warships have we built in total?" Xiang Yan asked at this moment, putting down the telescope in his hand.

"Two ships," the general replied.

"Two ships?" Xiang Yan thought that two ships were too few. After all, such warships have to be built on a large scale to form huge combat effectiveness.

"Our army can only build two ships. These two warships cost a lot of money. Our army can only afford two warships at present." The general replied at this time.

"Oh." Xiang Yan fell silent after hearing the explanation. He knows very well why the Chu State navy can only build two warships at present. The price of building such a warship with 28 artillery guns is naturally very expensive. Don’t look at the difference between this warship and those merchant ships, but these warships Ships need to sacrifice a lot of cargo tanks because they need to carry weapons. At the same time, gun positions must be placed on both sides of the ship, and the price of artillery remains high. These are important reasons for the huge cost of warships.

"Can our army only do this?" Xiang Yan asked at this time.

"Back to the general, our army can only do this. If you want to have an absolute advantage, these warships must be so equipped." The general replied.

"But the general is only dealing with the water pirates or the ships on the river. There is no need to do that." The general replied respectfully at this time.

"Oh. Tell me more in detail." Xiang Yan asked at this time when he became very interested.

"Our army's current opponents are mainly Qin armed merchant ships, but the threat of these armed merchant ships is not great. People in Qin are not very concerned about ships. Although Qin is very powerful, we are still sailing in Chu. "The general said.

"Keep on talking." Xiang Yan motioned to her to continue speaking at this time.

"Therefore, the final general believes that the biggest enemy of the current navy is not Qin's armed merchant ships. No matter how unreasonable Qin's armed merchant ships make trouble, there are legal restrictions. As long as Chu and Qin negotiate, this matter will definitely be resolved. Yes, our Chu State Navy must have objective ships." At this time, the general said.

"So, our army should work **** strength." The general said.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Yan asked back.

"Our army should work **** the Yangtze River and the waterways on the sea." The general said. Hearing this, Xiang Yan stopped walking and looked back at the navy general. The general's answer coincided with some of Xiang Yan's thoughts, which surprised Xiang Yan very much.

"Do you have a plan?" Xiang Yan calmed down at this time and asked.

"Our army can transform some merchant ships and turn them into battle ships. At the same time, our army can pretend to be water pirates, looting those ships, and then own them." The general proposed at this time.

"En." Xiang Yan nodded in agreement. He still recognizes these.

"This plan is feasible." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"But it needs to act secretly, and outsiders can't know it." Xiang Yan said at this time. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

"I will understand at the end." The general replied at this time.

"En. Just understand." Xiang Yan said at this time.

"General, there is one more thing. According to Qin's naming method. A warship is launched, and its warship must have a name. Two warships of our army are about to be launched. Can they be named?" At this time, the general actively said.

"En." Xiang Yan nodded silently after hearing this. Then I thought about it.

"Just call it Shuijun, Dumpling Number." At this time, Xiang Yan didn't decide what kind of name he wanted. In his opinion, the name was just a name, nothing else.

"Well, why don't you name the first warship the water dragon?" the general asked at this time.

"En." Xiang Yan agreed.

"Then Xie General." The general replied respectfully at this time.

Xiang Yan was concerned about when his warship was launched.

In this way, Chu's first warship will be named after "Water Jiao". This is Chu's "Water Jiao". Class battleship.

The Chu State in the south is building warships. And South Korea, who lives in the Central Plains, is not idle at this time. In order to expand overseas business, South Korea is actively raising funds to build their own navy. They raised 200,000 gold in real gold. This has to be said to be generous.

Relying on these funds, South Korea will build ten large warships. Equipped with as many as 36 artillery pieces, in addition to ten medium warships. Twenty-two artillery pieces are equipped. The firepower is still very strong.

Although the construction has not yet started, the funds are already in place. All countries are developing their own naval careers. Although most of them are still in their infancy, they are already determined to catch up with the Qin Navy.

In Qi, the people of Qi are not so relaxed. At home, they were in a panic.

"Quickly, close the city gate." An officer of his army hurriedly roared at this time. While shouting loudly, he ran into the city gate at a weary pace.

"Quickly. Close the city gate, there are riots outside the city." The officer said tiredly.

"Ah." The city gate official heard such news at this time. I was very shocked.

"Quick. Quick, close the city gate." At this moment, the official guarding the city shouted immediately.

"Here." After hearing this order, the soldiers acted quickly.

"Disperse, disperse quickly." This time. A soldier guarding the city gate yelled.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." The city gate then let out a dull sound.

"Wow." At this time, the city gate closed.

"Everyone, get up to the tower and be on guard," the official guarding the city shouted loudly. Some soldiers began to take up their weapons nervously and enter their battle positions.

Soon the news reached the Qi Palace.

"What?" King Qi was very surprised when he heard the news at this time. He didn't believe that Luanmin could attack here at this time.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed true." A reporting general painfully told King Qi of the unfortunate news.

"Bold, I even confuse the crowd again." At this time, the next victory on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"Come on, drag me down, behead, deceive the crowd, and behead." Hou Sheng yelled.

"My lord, my lord, the last sentence is true." At this moment, the guard dragged the general away.

"Ah." A scream soon sounded.

"Master. Don't panic." At this time, the winner said comfortingly. Although he did not want to hear the news, it was not that he would not accept the news. In fact, the latter had known the news a day ago, but he did not expect it. Those troubled people really dared to attack Linzi, which is really puzzling. And beyond his expectation. You know, Linzi is the largest city in Qi and has the most complete military defenses. He did not expect. These chaotic people really dare to attack.
