"They rushed over." A Chu army soldier stretched out a trench to see the Qi people getting closer and closer.

"All prepared. Prepared." At this moment, the Chu Army officer shouted loudly at this time.

The bearded Chu Army officer on the high ground checked the situation with a telescope. The people of Qi were more and more concentrated by the artillery bombardment. The center has become denser.

"Quickly, let our small-caliber artillery fire immediately." The bearded Chu Army officer shouted loudly.

"Here." A messenger was ordered. Then let the flag bearer wave the flag.

Chu army is on the ground. The soldiers of the Chu Army were carefully stretching their heads and watching the Qi people approaching. Their muskets had a limited range, and at this time they could not send soldiers to shoot. They can only watch the Qi people come closer.

"Quick, fire. Fire. After a Chu Army gun commander saw the signal, he immediately ordered the gun to fire.

"Aim." The small-caliber artillery aimed at the Qi people who approached.

"Let it go." The Chu Army artillery fired quickly.

"Boom. Boom." The artillery fired quickly.

"Swish." The cannonball whizzed out.

"Boom." The shell exploded among the Qi people. Qi people fell down a small group of people.

"Boom." Another shell exploded, and the people of Qi fell down again.

"The situation is not good." Some of the Qi people began to see that many people had fallen. So many people had died before the war started. They felt that the hardship was not good for them, so they wanted to change the direction and retreat.

"Go forward, dare to have retreats, kill without mercy." A Qi guerrilla leader shouted loudly. Some Qi nationals who were about to leave stopped their retreat, and they continued to move forward.

"Wow." Cannonballs continued to hit them. The situation of Qi people is very bad.

"Sir." A young Qi countryman ran over quickly at this time.

"Sir. It's not good for us to go on like this," the young man said.

"Are we launching a charge? If this goes on, the brothers will be beaten before they reach the Chu army camp." The young man said loudly.

"En." Qi Guo's guerrilla leader looked at it. The Qi State guerrillas are composed of several guerrillas, and they have no connection or jurisdiction over each other. This caused his offensive formation to be very loose.

"It's not far away. There is still a mile away. Let the brethren, rush, rush over, as long as they rush over, the Chu Army's cannon won't work." The chief shouted loudly at this time.

"Charge." The guerrilla leader shouted loudly.

"Charge." Under the order of the guerrilla leader, the Qi people quickly rushed towards the Chu army camp.

"Kill." Qi State soldiers ran forward quickly.

In an instant, the Qi people's shouting and killing sounded. The Qi people rushed towards the Chu army camp like a turbulent tide.

"Qi people rushed over." Some Chu soldiers stretched out their heads and shouted after seeing the situation. The soldiers of the Chu Army raised their guns and began to take aim.

"The distance is still a bit too far." A Chu army officer said after looking at the distance of the Qi nationals.

"Kill." The people of Qi still marched forward desperately.

"Boom." The small-caliber artillery fired continuously. They mounted solid artillery shells and directly bombarded the Qi people's ranks.

"Ah." A scream. A **** road was opened up among the Qi people's team. The Qi people were directly bombarded, and the internal organs of the Qi people were bombarded everywhere. The small-caliber artillery bombardment caused a lot of casualties to the Qi people. The Qi people's team was instantly stagnated. Their offensive contradictions temporarily stagnated. But still stopped the attack.

"Charge." The **** shelling didn't even stop the Qi people, and the soldiers of the Chu army exclaimed in their hearts.

"Charge." The people of Qi continued to attack.

"The distance is very close." The Chu army officer shouted loudly.

"All get up. Aim and shoot." The Chu Army officer shouted loudly at this time. Outside the trench, a large number of Qi State shouted for killing, which made the Chu Army soldiers a little flustered, but the officer forced the Chu soldiers to shoot.

"Bang. Bang, bang, bang." The Chu Army soldier quickly stretched out his head and aimed and fired.

There was a burst of lightning and thunder, and the people of Qi were knocked down, and the Chu army opened fire. The losses of the Qi people rapidly increased. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not very wise to continue the offensive. In addition, the Chu Army gunners kept firing. Under the intensive killing and wounding, the people of Qi naturally chose to retreat. Even if the leader personally supervised the battle, it did not stop the soldiers from retreating spontaneously.

The Western Regions of Qin State.

"Da da da." In a telegraph carriage, a telegraph operator was receiving the contents of a telegram from Xianyang. On the side, King Qin carefully looked at the telegram. And Meng Tian supervised the translators to translate as soon as possible. The length of this telegram is quite long, and the telegraph staff has been sitting here for more than two hours. King Qin's tea has been changed several times. King Qin patiently looked at the content of the recently translated telegram. The content of this telegram comes from Xianyang. Meng Yi sent it to King Qin to explain the smuggling trade.

In the telegram, Meng Yi explained very clearly the reasons for the smuggling trade, as well as the next steps to solve the matter, methods, and so on. This telegram analyzes the matter in great detail. In this telegram, Meng Yi tried his best to justify the smuggling trade and demanded to follow the trend in order to reduce Qin's losses. This point made King Qin a little unsure. What King Qin worried about was Qin's laws and regulations. What Meng Yi worries about is that, because of the emphasis on law and discipline, the situation in Qin will be unfavorable.

"Meng Tian. What do you think?" The telegram that King Qin had just read was handed to Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Tian carefully took the telegram to check it. King Qin patiently waited for Meng Tian's own opinion.

"The minister believes that the prime minister's telegram is of great significance to Qin's stabilization of the border states." Meng Tian whispered after reading it. Because he didn't know what kind of attitude King Qin had, but judging from the situation of rampant smuggling trade, Meng Tian believed that King Qin's attitude was somewhat opposed, but from the perspective of the general situation. King Qin had to consider the safety of the borders of the Qin State. If the borders were damaged, the Western Regions that Qin had captured would be lost.

"Oh. Tell me about it." King Qin said at this time.

"The current situation in the border states is indeed not optimistic. Although the towns we pass through are relatively prosperous, most of these prosperity are related to the smuggling trade in the border states of Qin. The prime minister mentioned in the telegram. In the other border states of Qin, Situation, several other border states have such smuggling situation." Meng Tian said.

"The Prime Minister was right in the telegram. Only when the border states of Qin State stabilize and develop prosperously, can the State of Qin have a stable expansion of territory, and that the State of Qin can concentrate on the feat of unifying the world. "Meng Tian said.

"But now, the border states of Qin State are extremely unstable, which is not a good thing for Qin State. Because only these states are stable. Our unanimous external affairs. The instability factor comes from them. The country is not prosperous. These states are all immigrants from the six countries. Why the six countries emigrate is to make our country stronger and prosperous. That is, the people are rich.” Meng Tian said.

"Smuggling is for the people to profit. If there is no profit, there will be no smuggling. At present, if the Qin State wants to stabilize these states, it must allow these states to develop and prosper, so that these states can enable the people to expand abroad. "Meng Tian said.

"En. Besides, these states and the small states in the Western Regions, the tribes can be traded, Qin can expand its influence, and at the same time, it can also collect taxes to profit. It can also solve the disadvantages of the Qin market. Is it?" Qin Wang asked.

"Yes, Lord." Meng Tian replied.

"En. Widowen understands. It seems that Meng Yi has considered very well, and Widowen approved it." King Qin figured it out at this time. In other words, if Qin wanted to move eastward, he had to stabilize the situation in the west and north. Otherwise, Qin will face the danger of multiple fronts. And how to stabilize the west and north. We must find a way to make these areas prosper. How to prosper. Obviously, we can no longer rely on the development of agriculture. We can expand more farms and pastures in the west and north. Because these solved the problem of Qin people not being hungry, but they could not solve the problem of the prosperity and development of Qin border states. But to solve this problem, there is only one way, and that is to open up trade ports and encourage trade. Only by opening trade can the border states of Qin develop. After it develops, Qin can also draw taxes from it and expand fiscal revenue. At the same time, It will also allow the Guanzhong area to develop further. Obviously, this is a big picture. Only by standing at a high enough height can you recognize it. It was at this height that King Qin understood Qin's situation and agreed to Meng Tian's ideas.

"So, what about the cooperation with South Korea?" King Qin then asked.

"This, the minister still doesn't understand?" Meng Tian replied.

"The two countries have different development paths, so naturally they are different. How Qin can better develop with South Korea requires the prime minister's plan." Meng Tian answered truthfully.

"En." King Qin nodded. Regarding South Korea's problems, King Qin thought Meng Yi was very considerate. Because from the current situation. It is true that there is no necessary possibility that the two countries must form an alliance. However, King Qin has no clear certainty about the specific cooperation between the two countries on certain projects, because King Qin does not yet know where the two countries’ economies can cooperate. If cooperation is to be carried out, then Qin is also advantageous, but South Korea is disadvantageous. This made King Qin a little confused, so King Qin asked Meng Tian for his opinion, but Meng Tian was a military commander, and he himself didn't know much about economic matters. In this way, King Qin has no more reference. However, this matter can be regarded as an important step.
