Chapter 3923: Yan people declared war

"Boom. Boom. Boom." Fortunately, the mountain people retreated quickly. Otherwise, the shells would fall into their offensive formation. In that case, their losses would become extremely heavy.

"Fortunately, we retreat quickly, otherwise, our losses will be quite astonishing." Ado said when he saw the cannonballs fall frantically. But he was still very angry, because those shells shattered some of the corpse capitals that were too late to take away. It seemed that Goguryeo had put them to death by killing them.

"Yeah. Fortunately, we retreat quickly. This also shows that the Goguryeo people are prepared. Faced with such preparations, it is impossible for us to defeat them. So in such a situation, the only way is to do our best. Go around." A Gu said. They can’t get gunfire support at all. The only way is to go around, but they are afraid that the Goguryeo people have already established a certain defensive line in the jungle, and if they extend it, they must reach the sea. I heard that there. There is a part of the navy in Goguryeo that can do that. If that were the case, their situation would be really bad.

Yan State, inside the Prince's Mansion.

"Since we want to launch an offense, we must naturally support them to launch an offense. Why do we blame them? We should encourage them. There is nothing wrong with what we did." Prince Dan asked the Minister of Defense to come in and speak.

"But, the prince, if you do this, it will inevitably lead to a full-scale war. In that case, Yan's finances will inevitably be unbearable." The Defense Minister said worriedly.

"Haha." Prince Dan laughed when he heard this.

"Are you the Minister of Finance?" Prince Dan asked, which stopped the Secretary of Defense. Yes, you are the Minister of Defense, not the Minister of Finance. It sounds like this is something that the Minister of Finance should take care of.

"This." The Secretary of Defense was choked with a word. He didn't know what to say, so he couldn't speak quickly.

"Okay. I know you are for the country of Yan, but you really did not do this thing right. The front line has already started, how can it stop suddenly? If we stop at this time, how will the soldiers on the front line treat us? Are you cowards making fun of us?" Prince Dan asked rhetorically.

"Okay. This is the decision. We declare war. We should let the Goguryeo people see that if they are willing to fight, we will fight them. If they can't fight, we can win. Anyway, I, Yan Guo, is not afraid of him.” Prince Dan said so. The Secretary of Defense can only accept such orders. The war started suddenly. He doesn't know if this matter is a good thing, but the matter has already progressed here. What else? The war has broken out. All things must wait for such a result to proceed.

Outside the Prince's Mansion, in a restaurant, Zhang Erduan was sitting here. Sitting here with his assistant, he could only order some small dishes, because the prices on them were shocking.

"Xiao Er, why is the price of your Yan country so high?" the assistant said embarrassingly while looking at the price list of vegetables. When they came out, the budget was enough, but after they came to Yan Country, they didn't have enough money. Instead, I need to take some savings out of my pocket.

"This. There is no way. This country of Yan is fighting, and we have no way. Many people are not engaged in production and can only rely on imports. However, this government needs money for everything. It is crazy to ask for money. You need money for food and drink. Asking for money, this is the seat, and the money is also collected, and it is not good for us to open the store. Our store has been open for 20 years. When Lao Yan Wang did not collect any property tax from us, this is the ancestral industry. But after the prince came, he began to levy taxes frantically. Our ancestral business also collects taxes. What kind of real estate tax. Alas, most of the money we make is taxed. If it is not for this license, it can’t be done in a short time. We will not open the account if we cancel it." Xiao Er said with a sad face.

"This, what is this?" the assistant asked.

"Hey, it's hard to say in one word." Xiao Er said and changed his tea. The high prices made Zhang Er afraid to order. Can't afford it. For example, a plate of cabbage, in Chu State, is only less than two dimes. And the quantity is large, and the dishes are good. But here, the price has risen to five hundred Yanyuan, which is equivalent to as much as 20 yuan for Chu Yuan. This is an extremely crazy number. How dare they eat such high prices?

"This Yan nationality is crazy. Sir, look, this person who eats doesn't come at all. Let's do this. It's bitter." The assistant said helplessly, shaking his head. They can only order one cabbage. I dare not drink wine, because wine is more expensive, which is as high as 1,000 Yanyuan, so I can't afford it. This is not the price of a bottle, this is the price of a glass, two or two glasses. This can't afford to drink at all.

"Yeah, it's crazy. I didn't expect that the Yan people's situation has reached such a point. This is a situation that you and I have never thought of." Zhang Er said. After they entered the country of Yan, what they saw was another scene. People in Zhao country were thriving everywhere, but Chu country was dying. There were few people going on the train and many people running. Many people left Yan country by car. They I am willing to go to Zhao country but do not want to stay in Yan country. Why is the taxation too heavy? Seventy percent of personal income is handed over to the state, and the rest of the money simply cannot survive. Taxes are levied everywhere in the state, and prices have risen very sharply. The grain output of Central Plains countries is increasing every year, especially the grain output of Qin, Chu, and South Korea. One year's output can satisfy the Central Plains people for five years. Moreover, the scale of food is still expanding. It can be said that in the Central Plains countries, not having enough food is a thing of the past. People no longer worry about food.

This is also an important reason for the huge population outbreak in China. The total population of Central Plains countries has exceeded 60 million people. This still does not include those mixed races and the number of colonies. If such a large population is included, it may be close to the 90 million mark.

But in the country of Yan, the newspaper actually published the story of a family starving to death of an elderly person. This is really appalling, because in such an era, a country can still starve to death, which means nothing. How bad the governance of this country is.

"Sir, we still don't want to stay in Yan country. Moreover, even if we have such an order, I am afraid we can't do such a thing. Why? This price is so frightening, I am afraid that the Yan people themselves will not be able to support it. They take it. It is simply impossible to buy our arms," ​​the assistant persuaded.

"You mean, let's leave like this?" Zhang Er asked his assistant.

"Yes, sir, the prices have forced us to leave. You have seen the people of Yan, and the officials are still not enough to eat. They are still fighting. I think this country will soon be in chaos." Assistant Speaking of this. Zhang Er nodded. Yan Guo is now a chicken rib. He doesn't want to leave, but he has to leave. Why, because he lacks things. Lack of a large number of orders without orders. Chu's industry would not be able to develop, should he find another way to solve this problem himself? He himself didn't know this.

"Let's not be hungry." At this moment, a group of students passed by under the building. They held banners and chanted slogans.

"Xiao Er, what is this for?" The assistant asked Xiao Er curiously. And Xiao Er was busy closing the window.

"Oh, there is no other way. These students often come to make trouble, maybe the police will start to beat them out. These students are full. They can eat and worry about others not having enough food. No, that’s not. They protested against the prince’s heavy taxes, and they might start arresting people in a while. I said, you two should leave here as soon as possible. This is a place of right and wrong.” Xiao Er persuaded. Then quickly put up the door panel, their glass has been broken several times. Now their glass is compelling, because it is many times more expensive.

All sorts of weird things in the country of Yan forced Zhang Er and others to leave here. Regarding what happened in the country of Yan, they had no choice but to deal with it. After all, such a country had entered a period of chaos and they could not get enough to eat. What's the future of such a country? This kind of thing cannot be said or done. They can only leave quickly.

Goguryeo, Heitucheng.

"The Yan people suddenly launched an offensive. We were forced to counterattack, but we don't know what Yan people want to do next?" the Defense Minister said worriedly.

"What I am worried about is that they will not stop the offensive, but launch a bigger offensive. In that case, it will become a huge war and we will be forced to deal with it." The Secretary of Defense said worriedly.

"This is already an invasion. Even if there is no support from anyone, we should declare war. You know, the bond sales are very good now. If we retreat a bit, our bond sales will enter a huge ups and downs. , This is a huge loss for us. We absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to happen and declare war. This is our only choice." Li Lin said with his hands behind his back. They are already riding a tiger. Relying on the newspaper reports, the people are very supportive of what happened on the front lines. They support this country to start a war, even if it is finished, it must go on, because for the Goguryeo people, this is a just war, this war. For them, it is a huge and advantageous war.

The factory received a large number of military orders, the workers were very busy, the wages of the workers increased a lot, demand increased, and production naturally went smoother. Not only that, there are more military needs that promote their advancement in military technology, and the expansion of national fiscal revenue, especially after the expansion of bond yields, has expanded demand in related fields. This is a big deal for business owners. Good thing.

The Goguryeo people who were in a period of rapid expansion naturally supported this war. At the same time, they hoped that more cheap mineral resources would enter Goguryeo to help them solve all the current problems. This is what Goguryeo needs most. It can be said that the support of bonds has encouraged them to do so further. This approach is beneficial to Goguryeo.

"Up to now, we have no retreat, why not fight them directly. If this is the case, we can also declare war. We officially enter a state of war." The Secretary of Defense said.

"Yes. Prime Minister, we don't have to be afraid of them." The Secretary of the Army agreed. If it officially enters a state of war, Goguryeo can mobilize more troops in an instant. This is a very important thing for Goguryeo.

"Prime Minister. Prime Minister." At this moment, the Secretary of the Navy hurried in. He was holding a telegram, followed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It seemed that he was very nervous, but he was a little tired because of his breathless appearance.

"The Yan people declared war." Premier Li Lin said.

"What?" Everyone was surprised. This was originally expected, but they didn't expect this incident to come so quickly. And it was the Yan people who declared war first.

"Yes, the Yan people declared war. Moreover, right now, they seem to have understood what we are going to do. They are much ahead of us." Li Lin said. Just now, he decided to order a declaration of war. No matter whether the Yan people declared war or not, he would start. But what he didn't expect was that when he just made up his mind, the Yan people were even more anxious than him and declared war ahead of time. This was far beyond his expectation.

"This is great. If the Yan people declare war, we can fight it. We are for ourselves, and at the same time, we have the diplomatic initiative. We can unite Zhao people and do more things." said the Secretary of the Army. To.

"The war has finally come." The Secretary of Defense said with a sigh of relief.

After careful discussion, the Goguryeo side also quickly adjusted. They decided to declare war on the Yan people as well, and they were forced to declare war. In this way, they appear more just, but the Minister of Economy believes that this news should be released in time, because only in this way can bonds rise rapidly, which is a very good thing for the government.

Zhao Guo, Handan, Zhao Jia is eating breakfast, his breakfast is quite rich, there are a total of 54 dishes, in fact, he only eats a little of each dish, and then rinses his mouth. He eats slowly, which makes him an educated person.

"Is there any important news today?" How did Zhao Jia ask.

"Yes. Prime Minister, the Yan people have declared war." The assistant said from the side.
