[Qin] Qin Shi

Now that the name of the teacher has been decided, the rest is to roughly arrange the strategy of attacking Chu: "If you want to attack Chu, how many soldiers will be sure to take Chu in one fell swoop?" Ying Zheng glanced over the sitting The generals on the same side.

Li Xin is the youngest of all the generals. He was Wang Jian's deputy when he fought against Yan, but he was not involved in the fight against Wei because he was responsible for mopping up the end. The young man who wanted to make contributions was unavoidably impatient: "Give me 20 Ten thousand is enough!"

Wang Jian, who was weighing the situation, turned to look at Li Xin differently. After seeing the confidence on his face, he hesitated to speak and looked at Bai Shu who was thinking: "Mr. I'm afraid it's not enough."

Meng Tian was also surprised, but his surprise was that Li Xin dared to say: "20 is a relatively small number. To be on the safe side, around 40 is better." He knew how to fight, "In case the enemy is cunning and deceitful, it will be safer to drop with force if there are too many people."

Wang Ben also nodded: "And we have to divide the troops. If the battlefield is concentrated in one place and the outcome of one side determines the overall situation, the risk is too high." The more the merrier."

Sitting at the top, Ying Zheng frowned, quickly calculating the number of soldiers that Daqin could allocate now.The civil servants were silent, after all, they were not convincing in this regard.

"40 is the least." Wei Liao of the military strategist shook his head, feeling a headache for this group of generals who were only counted as soldiers but not logistics, "These soldiers are used to fight, if you count logistics and soldiers transporting luggage, lay down To appease and suppress the soldiers in the rear of the territory, Liao thought it was the same as that of Lord Wu'an back then, and it needed 50."

"Logistics is not a soldier who fights a war." Bai Shu heard Wei Liao's words, and from his own thinking, "If the place of confrontation is on the territory of the Qin Kingdom, these people are a waste. Give the local people some money and call them Just do the logistics—wait, that's never what you guys do?"

Bai Shu looked at the astonishment of the others, just like them staring at each other in a daze.

"General Wang Jian also led Yanbei's soldiers before, so no one told you about it?" Bai Shu subconsciously thought that someone in Yanbei was obedient to him about surrendering to Qin.

"General Wang Jian?" Ying Zheng could not disbelieve Bai Shu, and followed his words to look at Wang Jian.

"The strategist of Yanbei has seen it before, and it is advisable, but he can't take it all." Wang Jian shook his head to comfort Bai Shu, "If it is a confrontation with Chu on the land of Qin, with the old Qin as the backing, then this method is feasible. It can be fought. The territory of Chu State is inconvenient. If there are radical Chu people, or if someone attacks the rear of Qin State based on this point, they can easily cut off the retreat of the soldiers."

This awakened Bai Shu a little bit, he stretched out his hand and stuck his chin: "That's right, when you attacked the country of Yan before, you took the road of Yanbei." At that time, the fighting style of the battle between Qin and Chu was different, and it could not be said in the same breath. "Fighting Chu is equivalent to going north to the grassland to attack the Xiongnu."

Because it was an excuse before, it is no wonder that those people in Yanbei failed to show Wang Jian the way they fought against the Xiongnu and Qiang people.Thinking of this, Bai Shu raised his head and asked a seemingly unrelated matter: "Do you know a rich and well-connected businessman that Qin can trust?"

"Businessman?" Gan Luo sat cross-legged on the mat. He, who was once a guest of Lu Buwei, recalled Bai Shu's previous words during Bai Shu's question, and quickly realized, "You fought before, let those traders Follow you, let them take the people to do logistics for you???"

When Gan Luo said this, the other civil servants followed his train of thought one after another, looking at Bai Shu as if they were looking at a spectacle in the world.

"Businessmen value profits," Bai Shu nodded frankly, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "People are panicked in places after wars. Ordinary people, whether in officialdom or not, need to be appeased. To appease people's hearts is the most important thing." A good way is to keep everyone busy."

"The best way to get everyone busy is to get them to make money together. Why not get those traders to make money while doing things for their own countrymen?"

Bai Shu also wondered why this group of people didn't think of using the most agile traders: "Aside from other things, wars are mostly long-term see-saws. After the fighting is over, which town is not short of food and clothing? Unfortunately, the strong men died on the battlefield, the old and the weak, women and children struggled to make ends meet, and the merchants gave them a way to survive."

"If you can trust me, I'll call the businessmen from Yanbei. When I beat those savages in the past, they took care of everything behind my ass." It is responsible for killing those who have opinions on the people of the Central Plains, and leaving those who are not suitable for them to deal with."

The simple old Qin people who focus on farming:  …

"How to deal with it?" Fu Su sat beside Ying Zheng and asked curiously.

"The lonely, lonely, old, weak, women and children of the state of Qin are watching to act together. This way, you don't have to worry about the new defectors playing tricks. Second, it's the second wave of screening. The third is to reduce the pressure of shortage of manpower in the rear. Generally speaking The words are to ask them to carry supplies, and then give them money, and when they save enough money, they can build a house by themselves in the place I set out, which can be regarded as landing and taking root."

Wei Liao's eyes lit up with a swipe: "Wonderful!" He exclaimed, "Most of the ones you leave behind have no resistance and are afraid of being killed by you. While working for you, they will gradually be assimilated by the people around them." .and then when they look at building their own home with their hard-earned money, they won't be able to move easily—”

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is indeed a good way to deal with the uncivilized barbarians: "As long as the circled area is surrounded by Yanbei's own people, they will really become one of you in ten years."

Li Si responded: "Although the Chu land is large, the people from the Central Plains and the Nanman account for half of it. It is indeed feasible to give small favors to the people in the north and let them transport their luggage under supervision. As for the people in the Nanman, since General Bai can advocate They rebelled against Chu, which shows that their nature is not much different from that of the Xiongnu and Qiang people.”

"About this, if you can trust me, I'll call the merchants from Yanbei." Bai Shu stroked his chin back and forth with his index finger, "They are familiar with this aspect. I have never been responsible for this. I only know their general steps. Let them decide with you—but Master Li, there is one thing you misunderstood."

Li Si cupped his hands, signaling Bai Shu not to be so angry; "I would like to hear more about it."

"It's not to let them transport the luggage from the rear to the front, but to give the unused things to the merchants in addition to our own luggage, and let them sell them to the Chu people along the way, so as to obtain their local food and grass luggage in exchange for barter. The burden of our subsequent transportation."

He nodded while talking: "It can also be regarded as the risk of squeezing their remaining capital and stabbing them back with a new place to surrender. And counting the amount of food, grass and supplies that can be obtained in different land boundaries, it can be estimated where the people in these places have the heart of disobedience , where you can rest assured."

Bai Shu looked at the people under his command who had been doing this for more than ten years, and it was like a treasure: "Back then, most of the Xiongnu and Qiang people counted on the livestock in their hands. If it was on the Central Plains, it can be estimated based on the amount of food and grass in the hands of the Chu State. How much food and grass can be mobilized to prepare our own stocks."

That sounded fine overall, and Ganro interjected, "But how do you make sure the businessman will do what you want?"

"People in the world value profits, and merchants are the best among them. The profit and price difference in this back and forth transaction, how much they can make depends on the merchant's own ability. And with this, they can show their existence in front of the official In the future, it will be the biggest temptation for them to give some convenience to them when they trade in the Qin country."

Seeing other people's enlightened and eager to try, Zhao Gao, who is proficient in the laws of the Qin State, found something wrong: "But according to the laws of Qin, this is illegal."

"Um, there are too many rules and regulations in Qin's laws. I really don't know much about this aspect. Whether it is feasible or not still needs to be taken care of by Mr. Zhao." Qin Lu's bamboo slips were engraved all over, "If it's not feasible, Shu will think of another way."

Yingzheng, who was listening vigorously, waved his hands: "The law of the Shang Jun was to prevent everyone from forgetting their roots because of the benefits of doing business. It was to strengthen the country. Now that Qin is rich and powerful, it wants to annex tigers and wolves. The law is a change of sentiment. As long as It’s okay not to shake the foundation of the country, just temporarily, Bai Shu, go ahead.”

The boss at the top said so, Zhao Gao naturally had no objection.In fact, he also knew that this was a good strategy, but just doing business would run afoul of Qin Fa.

but--

Zhao Gao looked at Bai Shu, and raised his important position in King Qin's heart again,

——In the past, Lu Buwei, who almost covered the sky with one hand, could not shake Qin Fa. According to Qin Law, the largest businessman in Qin State was not treated as well as a foreign businessman, but now the king is willing to change Qin Law for Bai Shu?

"The pottery, bronzes, and building materials of the Qin State are quite unique, and the tiles can be used as works of art. At this time, it is better to keep them in the hands of the people and put them in the treasury. It is better to borrow them. Open the mountains appropriately, It should be enough to hunt furs and animal meat and bones for trade, and then use the porcelain and papermaking skills in Yanbei's hands."

The knowledge that modern people know has been accumulated by their ancestors for thousands of years, so it is naturally more changeable than them: "As far as I know, Qin's system of lords is far superior to that of other countries. It is not impossible for them to help you recruit soldiers in Chu."

"If you treat the Chu people in the rear, it is far better than the treatment that the king of Chu treats his own countrymen. If you let the merchants manipulate it, there are really not many ordinary people who have the heart to resist." , "Left and right are living. If you can live better, most people will not refuse."

Gan Luo stayed with Lu Buwei for a while when he was young, and he has more judgment on this: "It is possible! The king can also give an amnesty to the merchants, and make them state merchants of the Qin State, and practice special laws during wartime. , to aid the Qin State. Then promise them that, based on their deeds during the war, there will be rewards after the war.”

That's how Lu Buwei started his career back then, and as Yingzheng's confidant, Gan Luo knew that Yingzheng didn't care about Lu Buwei's affairs as much as others thought, and he was even very grateful to Lu Buwei. Most of the Qianmenke are now in Qin.

"That's it, Bai Shu!" Ying Zheng's voice sank, "I invite you to operate, how many people can take down Chu State?"

"As General Meng said, 40 soldiers are not counted as merchants and peddlers."

"So, Gu will give you another 40!" Ying Zheng stood up, holding the tiger talisman in his hand, and split it in two, "You will mobilize all the old parts of Yanbei, and you don't need to inform Yu Gu about what to do after you conquer Chudi. It's all up to you to decide."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Because everyone heard that what Ying Zheng said was "give again", not just "give".This means that Yanbei's own troops are not counted among them, and 40 will be mobilized from Qin's soldiers.

Excluding the 20 men stationed by Meng Tian in the north, minus the standing garrisons in various places, and subtracting the new troops left behind to clean up in the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, 40 is already the largest force Qin can mobilize today.

Even Bai Shu was frightened by Ying Zheng's handwriting. He returned Yanbei, who was only loyal to him, and asked him to mobilize all Qin's soldiers. Qin and Qin's future are all on him—isn't Ying Zheng afraid of his rebellion?

"Kings?"

"Let's do it." Ying Zheng held the tiger amulet in front of Bai Shu, "I still remember what you said back then."

Bai Shu lightly' Huh? ' He said, his tone raised with doubts.

"Only the Great Qin can rule the world." The king looked at Bai Shu and remembered all his wishes for his future when he left Handan with Lu Buwei, "Do you know that when I was alone, I wanted to be just like you. "

——It would be great if you were still here, Father.

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Shu who was full of doubts, and smiled slightly.

——It took so many years for my son to realize that you were right.Many things are not as complicated as the ministers imagined. What the ministers thought was complicated was really just a very simple thing at the beginning.It was Erchen himself who thought too much and made things complicated.

"Bai Shu, I trust you alone."

For the sake of this world, I am willing to gamble once.

do not let me down.

The author has something to say: When sorting out the materials, I suddenly found that Wei State is worthy of being the place where talents from all over the world are cultivated.

Shang Yang, Fan Ju, Wei Liao, Zhang Yi, half Gongsun Yan, Wei Zhang, etc. of Qin State.Other countries, such as Le Yi, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, etc., were either born in Wei State, or studied in Wei State, or had been an official in Wei State, but Wei State does not want it!

Wei Guo, the place where talents were cultivated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, sent them to foreign countries after they were trained, and let these talents beat themselves, perfect!
