Chapter 755: Hanged water pirate

After discussing a series of countermeasures, Shangwen asked his assistant to organize the content and send it to Qin country by telegram. As for Qin's domestic view, it depends on the Qin King. Shangwen can only put forward his own views at present.

However, when King Qin saw Shangwen’s report, he thought that it was inappropriate for Qin to take the initiative to negotiate, and it was not a wise move, because if he took the initiative to negotiate, he felt that he would actively show weakness. Once the negotiation takes the initiative to show weakness, then in the subsequent negotiations, Qin will face a passive situation, this situation is very unfavorable to the situation of Qin. Because Qin Wang believes that negotiations are still too early.

It is not only King Qin who holds this view, but also Wei Liao and Wang Jian. They also believe that active negotiations will not help Qin’s current situation. On the contrary, it is not only not helpful, and it is likely to cause Qin’s military affairs. Passive position on the ground.

"If we Qin take the initiative to negotiate, then Qi believes that as long as they win military victory, then they may take the initiative. In that case, Qin's external situation will be very unfavorable. At the same time, this will greatly aggravate it. The pressure on the military is even more serious to our already disadvantaged position in the military. Therefore, I do not agree to start diplomatic means now. On the contrary, I think we should use more means other than diplomacy. He Qi Chinese people contact only when Qi people feel pressured.” Wang Jian said to Wei Liao over the phone.

"En. I also agree with you, but I think we should take some mitigation measures in terms of trade restrictions on exports. We must know that if restrictions are adopted, the commercial response will be relatively large, which will put more pressure on our public opinion. . You should know that I am a civilian. If the military cannot solve the problem and cause other problems, my responsibility is heavy.” Wei Liao said on the phone. Wei Liao meant that if trade restrictions were adopted to restrict exports, especially steel exports, then Qin’s domestic pressure, especially steel exports, would put pressure on it. If feedback was reported to the news media, the government would be in a very disadvantageous position. , Because the Qin government did not solve the military problems well, and instead used commercial methods, which resulted in the loss of the interests of the Qin businessmen, and such losses would lead to a reduction in taxes. This is a kind of damage to the economy of Qin.

Wei Liao's view is very unique. It is the first time that Wang Jian knows the impact of economic problems on the military.

"I haven't thought about this problem, but I think we should have other ways." Wang Jian said.

"En, well, I'm thinking of other ways." Wei Liao said immediately. His thoughts take into account the major problems that have arisen after restricting trade exports. This kind of problem is a double-edged sword that can harm both Qi and Qin's economy. This requires finding a balance between the two. This balance point is how to consider both the immediate interests and the future interests.

This kind of interest consideration depends on the specific needs of Qin. According to Qin's current needs, the main task of Qin's current is to unfold around the military siege. On the one hand, Qin tried his best to avoid being involved in the war. If all three hundred people were annihilated, then the incident would be reported by Qin’s domestic media, which would cause a strong pressure of public opinion, which might ignite the warlike heart in the hearts of the people of Qin. Once ignited, the consequences will cause great harm. The Qin government is bound to fall into the condemnation of public opinion. If the government cannot participate in the war, then the Qin government, especially the Shangwen government, is likely to fall prematurely. No matter how great your contribution is, as long as Qin is at a disadvantage in the external world, then you have to step down.

Once the Shangwen government collapses, who knows who will come to power later, what kind of policies will be implemented, and whether the subsequent political situation will be stable. We can only look at the historical trend. Because Shangwen has lost the greatest possible maneuverability.

Therefore, the current problem must be solved by an appropriate method.

Just when Qin State was busy with how to solve the current crisis. There is no idleness to the south of Qin State. Since the State of Qin began to form a large-scale armed merchant fleet. And to take a continuous crackdown on the Chu State Water Pirates. Adopted a zero tolerance attitude towards water pirates. In other words, the water pirates of the Chu State Qin's armed merchant fleet formed a high-pressure situation, and the formation of this situation caused a serious deterioration of the water pirates' living environment.

"Big iron ship." A Chu State navy soldier looked at the Qin State armed merchant ship approaching in the distance with an old-fashioned wooden binoculars in his hand. The armed merchant ships of the Qin State hung a Qin State flag on the bow to symbolize their origin from the Qin State.

Then, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Chu State Navy, more large iron ships of the State of Qin appeared. This is an armed merchant ship of the Qin State, with a scale of more than 22 ships of various sizes.

"Are we going to check these Qin ships?" The Chu navy looked at the Qin armed merchant ships with a telescope in his hand, and the Qin armed merchant ships on the opposite side also looked at their situation with a telescope. Not only that, the muzzles of the machine guns on the Qin State's armed merchant ships were all aimed at this side.

"You don't want to die. What kind of ship we are, people are the ship. Mother's." A Chu State Navy veteran kicked it up and shouted loudly. The idea of ​​this Chu State Navy soldier was too dangerous. Actually thinking of investigating the armed merchant ships of the Qin State.

Some ships of the Chu State Navy were not equipped with artillery, and they still used old-fashioned crossbows. These weapons did not pose a huge threat to those armed merchant ships of the Qin State that were made using iron armor. What's more terrible is that the machine guns equipped on the armed merchant ships of the State of Qin can easily kill any ship in the navy of the State of Chu. And this is only Qin's armed merchant ship, this is not Qin's warship. This huge gap caused Qin's armed merchant ships to run rampant in the waters of the Yangtze River in Chu State. And the scope, depth, and frequency of activities are getting wider and wider. Chu's navy wanted to manage. But it can't control it at all. The weapons are very different. Moreover, Chu State did not have any weapon to stop it. This led to the lack of management of the armed merchant ships of the State of Qin by the navy forces of the Chu State.

This kind of nonchalant attitude made the Qin State Armed Merchant Ship even more confident and courageous to do it. In particular, more severe measures have been taken in the attitude towards water pirates.

"Jing San, the leader of the water pirates of the Chu State. He has repeatedly robbed the merchant ships of the State of Qin and killed the merchants of the State of Qin. This has caused great economic losses in the State of Qin. Now we use the eighth and third articles of the Qin State Criminal Law. Intentional injury and robbery. He was sentenced to hang and executed immediately.” A Qin State captain stood on the deck of a Qin State armed merchant ship and pronounced his sentence.

"In addition, all the people in the gang were hanged, and their corpses were hung up. Be warned." Captain Qin took a pitiful look at Chu State Water Pirates. This water thief named Jing San was an armed merchant ship of the Qin State who took the initiative to attack and strangle. The group of water pirates was pursued for more than three consecutive days, and they were finally wiped out in the harbor where they were anchored. The leader and several of his men were captured alive. Regarding how to deal with it, the captain of Qin's armed merchant ship believed that this was caught by Qin himself and should be dealt with according to the method of Qin's people, so the captain of Qin put it on trial. He was sentenced to a cruel death sentence.

"Go to hell." A member of Qin's crew desperately pulled the rope in his hand.

"Oh. Oh." The water thief desperately tried to break the rope around his head. But no matter how he broke free, he couldn't break free. Then he felt his feet leave the ground. At the same time, the neck was tightened tightly. At the same time, no air is coming in. I feel like everything is emptied up and down.

"I. En. En." The leader of the water thief struggled desperately, trying to speak, but his blushing face was red to the base of his neck, and his whole body was struggling non-stop.

"Ha ha ha." Qin's crew looked at the water thief leader in a meaningless struggle.

"Hahaha. Damn the water thief, go to hell." Qin's crew made all kinds of insults to the water thief.

In the end, the water thief slowly lost any struggle. He was hanged alive on the armed merchant ship of the State of Qin, and then the crew of the State of Qin put all the other gangs on ropes, and then pulled up forcefully.

"Forgive me, I have to do this too. There is an old mother in my family. I want to go home, I... Puff." A Chu State Water Pirate who tried to intercede shouted loudly. He tried to get his life in exchange for this plea. But the ship of Qin State was hit too deeply by Chu State Water Pirates. And the policy is that it cannot be forgiven. Permanently cannot be forgiven. Therefore, the armed crew of the Qin State did not give him a chance, but directly knocked out his teeth with the **** of his hand. Then he put on the rope fiercely and hung up quickly.

The water pirate struggled desperately to get rid of it, but just couldn't get rid of it. Then he died slowly. Seeing this scene, many water pirates felt scared. The purpose of hanging was thus achieved. Although the hanging is not bloody, it can cause a great sense of fear in the hearts of the prisoners. This is what Captain Qin hopes to see.

Some water thieves peeed their pants on the spot, and some people kept shaking. No matter what, these water thieves were roped one after another and hung on the armed merchant ships of the State of Qin. Then their bodies Hang on it all day long.

So Qin's armed merchant ships began to hang the corpses of water thief as a blessing object for the ships. Because this means that the water pirates of Chu have suffered a great blow, and they are not afraid of water pirates if they dare to come. This is the consequence.
