The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Do you have anything you want to say about this election?" a Qin Guo reporter immediately interviewed in Handan.

"Say what?" said a Zhao from Handan.

"It's the election of the prime minister in your country. You know, the prime minister is the largest of the civil servants, and he is the most relevant to the vital interests of the people of Zhao country." The reporter said.

"This, I'm not good. But, I know, it has nothing to do with us." The Zhao person hurried away after speaking. Zhao Ren himself did not pay much attention to this election. Elections have become a matter of concern for people in the officialdom. And things about people on the verge of polarization. The Zhao people in Handan are not very concerned about this, because they only think about their livelihood. A good job can be found in Handan, a large number of commercial organizations are stationed, and the Qin-Zhao trade is unfolding. Prompted Handan to slowly develop as a large city like Qin State Xianyang. Ancient cities began to rapidly transition like modern metropolis life. This transition caused the Zhao people in Handan to not care too much.

What they care about is their salary, and where they can find a comfortable and stable income job. For example, those who know Chinese characters, especially those of Qin Guozi, will be hired as company employees, and those who know a little bit about calculation will enter the accounting industry. There are also a large number of people in business management who are in rapid expansion.

This kind of commercial activity is eroding Zhao people's attention to politics. On the contrary, two groups of people at the two poles of society have become the main political forces. This main force is the wealthy end, which owns most of Zhao's production materials. In other words, they control most of Zhao's capital, land, and various resources. Most importantly, those with wealth and power have begun to form a new kind of political force.

And the other end. It is that Zhao Guo lives at the lowest level, and is marginalized, or is the most miserable end of life. This end is the most exploited people in Zhao Guo. Their lives cannot be guaranteed. It can be said that their lives are also Wealth on the other end. It is this end that urgently needs to be changed. In particular, change their current situation. This change is hoped to be accomplished through democratic politics. This is the status quo of Zhao Guo.

As a special political group in the State of Zhao, soldiers are not willing to participate too much in such political activities. Because they are a mixture of these two ends. On the one hand, their source of troops is at the bottom. They lack the necessities of life most. Joining the army is the only best way out, and the second is to sell labor. Even their lives. And the other end. On the other end, a large amount of military supplies are provided, and their firearms are obtained by these people paying taxes. It can be said that they feed the army. Therefore, although the military is important, it is obviously not suitable for them to enter the country of Zhao, where business activities are becoming more and more intense.

However, the people of Qin have their own opinions. Qin people generally believe that although soldiers have a high reputation, especially Li Mu, a bustling street in Qin is named after Li Mu. But Li Mu is really not suitable to be a politician. Especially when formulating trade issues between Qin and Zhao. The State of Qin hopes that a pro-Qin faction who listens to the State of Qin in particular will be the prime minister of the State of Zhao.

And those routines that Guo Kai publicly clamored. In fact, it was designed by the Qin State bankers. Moreover, Guo Kai also believes that Qin Guo is the best method at present. Therefore, he is more pro-Qin in the future. That is to start extreme cooperation with Qin State. This kind of cooperation is to allow Qin State's capital to import a large amount of Zhao State and invest in a series of projects in Zhao State. These projects naturally also have some benefits for those nobles and mine owners who support Guo Kai.

What Qin needs is such a person. They believe that the cooperation with the nobles of the Zhao country will start economic and trade activities. It is a promising market. This market can allow the Qin State merchants to obtain sufficient wealth. The nobles of the Zhao State also believed that only by cooperating with the merchants of the Qin State could they get what they wanted. It can be said that both parties have ideas.

And what Qin State first unfolded was their huge advantage in the financial field. The banking industry has penetrated into all aspects of Zhao State. In the next step, Qin State will develop further trade based on the banking industry.

Just when Qin's businessmen were paying attention to Zhao's election. The people of Chu did something beyond Shang Wen's imagination. The Chu merchants began to organize their own armed forces. These armed forces began to become their new economic growth point and wealth treasure.

In the Jiujiang area and Wuyue area in the southern part of Chu State, some Chu people began to organize privately armed Vietnamese areas to capture the Vietnamese as slaves. But this is because it is the beginning. It is not a lot to deploy merchant arms.

There are two types of private commercial forces. One is the commercial arm of Jiujiang, which is a mixture of land and water in the region. This part of the armed forces is extended by the two rivers of the Xiangjiang River and the Ganjiang River as the transportation supply line, and land military operations have begun on both sides of the river.

Their armed forces were small at first. The largest number is only about fifty people, and usually only about twenty people are dispatched, but they are equipped with more advanced weapons. These come from water thieves, unemployed vagrants, and local combatants holding revolvers or magazine-style pistols made by Qin. It is the deformed gun of Qin's 17-style pistol. This is their melee weapon. In addition, they also carry more advanced trapdoor rifles. Note that the bullets they use are still black powder bullets. It is not the smokeless powder gun used by Qin State. The most backward is the shotgun full of iron balls. Flintlock ignition method adopted. Although these weapons were not advanced in Qin's eyes. There is not even a thing to be eye-catching. But these weapons are advanced enough to deal with the Vietnamese in the south.

"Boom." A huge gunshot aroused the panic of the surrounding birds and beasts. The Yue people gathered in the tribe felt very panicked. They thought it was the gods who angered themselves in the form of thunder and lightning. Everyone who was frightened did not dare to move. The Chu people took the opportunity to launch a quick attack against a tribe.

"Boom. Boom." Continuous gunshots. First strike down those who still have a certain degree of resistance. And the more people fell to the ground one after another. They don't even know that there are weapons that emit fire and loud noises like this in the world. They think that Chu people are the appearance of gods. This is a punishment from God. They lie on the ground and dare not move.

And after the Chu people killed a few people, they would not kill more people too much. Because what they need most is slaves. Then everyone in this tribe will become prisoner-of-war slaves. Then he was **** and escorted to the river stop. Ship it there.

The Chu people attacked the Vietnamese indigenous people in the south. These natives are still primitive tribes. The country of unity consciousness has not yet emerged. Some of them are still in matrilineal society for a long time. Their weapons are also very poor. Bamboo bow and arrow, bamboo javelin. Or it's a bamboo blowpipe. This is a southern weapon. This weapon is a blown arrow with a pinch of feathers. Arrows are made of bone or bamboo, coated with certain highly toxic substances. Usually can kill people easily. Chu people are extremely disgusted with this weapon. But they have more advanced weapons. Gunpowder weapons.

This is the first commercial slave passage in Chu State. The other one is full of unknowns, adventures and challenges. However, they first brought huge profits.

Chu State has many natural ports in Wuyue area. These ports are close to the ocean. For example, Shanghai is now in the Wuyue area. The merchants of Chu state organized armed forces here. These armed forces boarded flat-bottomed wooden ships suitable for offshore navigation. Then along the coastline. Remember the coastline. They have no plans to go far into the sea at all. And their geographic knowledge is not enough to make them plan to travel to the sea. And their ships cannot withstand the huge waves.

Moreover, there are still many unknown circumstances at sea. The appearance of weather, storms and other severe weather. Because it is offshore, there are still invisible reefs in some places. These are dangerous places at sea. But the sea is not so dangerous. He still has the most convenient place. That is traffic. The sea route allows them to drift with the boat to where they want.

The armed forces of these Chu merchants are about the same as those in Jiujiang. The oldest of them is only fifty people. However, there are usually more than 35 people traveling. They go to sea in the form of sea boats. Go along the coastline. Then randomly boarded the land, launched a surprise attack from the sea to attack the Vietnamese tribes along the coast. The local Vietnamese aboriginals have not yet imagined that there will be enemies attacking them from the sea. And it was fierce shooting from the beginning. They can't resist it with any weapon.

The earliest fishing nets and harpoons were the opponents of the commercial armed forces of the Chu people with guns. After a brief head-on confrontation. Those living and intact Vietnamese aboriginals became the first prisoners of war of the Chu people's maritime merchant marine armed forces. It is also the first pot of gold in their hands. And slave commodities. They were **** and escorted to a small boat. Then by boat, or directly escorted to Chu people's sea boat. Then they will capture a ship full of talents and return to their base.

In this way, the state of Chu had two major commercial armed forces dedicated to capturing the indigenous Vietnamese people. This kind of commercial armed force mainly relies on Chu's developed shipping as the main maneuver. They take the river or the coast as their starting point. Then use Qin's advanced weapons to suddenly launch an attack, attacking those primitive tribes. Mainly capture local aboriginals. Then return to the port of Qinren. Exchange with Qin people for industrial products. These industrial products were in turn sold to Chu people. Then continue to capture slaves directly south. Repeatedly, a new slave trade was formed. This kind of trade still has a lot of opportunities and room for extension.
