Chapter 369: Outline

When Shang Wen proposed to mobilize a division to return to defense. Wei Liao's answer surprised Shang Wen.

"We have issued a transfer order to transfer a division and a cavalry regiment from the center line. From the northern line and Taiyuan, we exchanged 10,000 people for deployment. If necessary, we can recruit new troops for combat. The training of muskets is very convenient. We have a large number of them. Weapon inventory of the country." Wei Liao said happily.

"These are enough. Recruit the army. We don't have the money to pay a lot of military expenses." Shang Wen said. Wei Liao was surprised.

"When it comes to weapons, we must also cut a large number of military orders. For example, the navy cuts at least 20 ships. The sky army cuts at least more than half of the airships. The army’s six-barreled Vulcan. It is necessary to cancel orders on a large scale. Some armies also We need to retire the soldiers. Let them enter the factory, or whatever. In short, we have no money." Shang Wen said.

"Didn't we issue a lot of bonds?" Wei Liao asked.

"But it needs to be cashed. These bonds need to be cashed. You know this. Especially now. We have occupied a large area of ​​land at once. We need to digest. We need to consolidate. We need to build. This requires a lot of money. Such a huge war. The military expenses have already spent a lot of our money." Shangwen explained.

Wei Liao obviously had difficulty pretending to change. some days ago. Military orders are constantly being issued here. but now. Not only to cancel military orders. And some troops have to be cut. Let them retire.

"In addition, we have to carry out a series of actions in diplomacy. The first is to help South Korea train combat. We will get military training fees. In addition. Our inventory. Eliminate a large number of flintlocks. Switch to percussion muskets. This is just It's the beginning. We still have a lot of remaining supplies. I read the list of supplies. Our food and equipment can last for ten years on the front lines." Shang Wen said.

"But those retired soldiers?" Wei Liao asked.

"We will arrange them for employment. And there is still a lot of land for them. These will definitely satisfy them." Shang Wen said.

"These things are probably not something you and I can do. This has to be reported to the king." Wei Liao realized something. Then the monk Wen said in time.

"I'm going to talk about it now. These things are already very big moves." Shang Wen said.

"I'll report it to the king." As he said, Shangwen immediately returned to the palace with Yingyu on his back.

"By the way, can you arrange a carriage to send us a ride?" Shang Wen felt that Yingyu's back was heavy. Especially the back can't straighten up.

"Yes. Of course." Wei Liao said. Saying goodbye to the two. Leaving the National Lieutenant Mansion.

Arrived at Xianyang Palace. Shangwen handed Yingyu to her waitress. Then he told King Qin of his preliminary thoughts.

This is a series of military, diplomatic, political, and military actions. The scope is very wide. If it weren't for Han Shu's initiative to look for Shang Wen. Shangwen's adjustment can also be completed. But it takes time. A long time. But under the external force exerted by Han Shu. The speed of Qin's progress on the capitalist road suddenly accelerated. And Han Shu is the inducement that prompted Qin to perform a series of actions.

The core of Qin State lies in economic issues. And a series of actions will revolve around the economy. The first task of the economy is to digest the huge fruits of the war. The war has come to an end, and the Qin Army has a chance to win. The results of the war have only begun to be digested.

The Qin State swallowed most of today's Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, and a small amount of Outer Mongolia and part of Xinjiang. The door to Xinjiang has been opened, and it won't take long. The State of Qin will expand a large part of the land.

The population of Qin is still unable to meet so many land developments. This is the biggest problem. As the immigration work unfolds, this problem will be resolved. But the population still cannot be resolved. Want to solve it quickly. Only through diplomatic means can a large number of people from the Six Nations enter the State of Qin. And this will inevitably lead to diplomatic troubles.

Diplomacy is backed by the military. Qin's army will undergo a military revolution. Changes come from the advancement of weapon technology that transcends the times. The economic needs require timely changes and adjustments in the military.

Large-scale war mobilization is no longer possible. Local small-scale wars do not require a slow mobilization and huge expenditures. A slow army. Moreover, government expenditures cannot meet the needs of such a huge army.

Qin Jun needs change. The army needs to lose weight. His scale must be kept appropriate. This is appropriate, and Qin Jun maintains high mobility. This is required by the demands of war. The targets of the Qin army's future battles are the scattered Huns and unknown nomads. Constant harassment and offensive, as well as high mobility operations. It is impossible to have a large-scale war against the six countries. Because of immigration needs. It is necessary for Qin to maintain a positive image. Domestic stability is also the greatest demand for economic construction. The war will draw a large number of young adults. This is not what Qin wants to see most.

In addition, economic demand will be the biggest driving force. The army of Qin State has initially assumed the style of a modern army. Especially in terms of obtaining the results of the war, the Qin State gained the most. Qin Jun, who has tasted the sweetness, is bound to continue. And next. The economy will shift to trade with the six countries. On trade issues. Qin Jun needs to control the main traffic arteries, and maintain fast mobility to be able to deal with them in time. This is the most fundamental step to death.

Diplomacy. Qin must be able to keep the opponent in awe at any time and place. Diplomacy is supported by force. Flexible activities in six countries. Facilitate trade.

The specific measures are to cut military expenditures, encourage foreign trade, increase infrastructure construction, and provide economic and military assistance to Yan Kingdom and South Korea.

These are Shangwen through Han Shu, Yingyu, Wei Liao and others, and a more systematic sorting out of what he has seen and heard. This is a more systematic specific measure of Qin State.

After Shang Wen sent away Yingyu, he hurriedly went to see King Qin to report and ask for instructions. Although Yingyu was a little bit reluctant. But it must be separated. Because Shang Wen's identity is the prime minister. It is to take on the responsibility of Qin State.

Under the guidance of a servant. Shang Wen saw King Qin. After a simple etiquette. Shang Wen started to get into the topic.

He told King Qin one by one what he had just sorted out. On necessary diplomatic issues. Shangwen even put forward the metaphor of "one pull and one block". The country of Yan dragged down the country of Qi, the country of Zhao, which was the most threatened country, while Korea, as the buffer and gateway of the country of Qin, blocked the main passage. And following the initiative of foreign trade, South Korea's economic foundation was completely destroyed. Let it be unable to maintain independence politically. In this way, you can control this essential.
