On the first day, they fought each other, on the second day, on the second day, on the third day, on the fourth day, on the fifth day... Until Xiong Jing couldn't remember what day it was, the aftermath of Mi Xuan's pregnancy gradually faded.

The two heroes of Chu and Qin were united together. The war between the two countries was a war for the whole world, and the contradiction between the two countries was also a contradiction for the whole world. Zhao Zheng had been married for eight years, and there were not eight children under his knees, but there were five children; Xiong Jing had just married this year and gave birth to many children, but he did not expect that he would not live in the bedroom, military tent, and he did not love the queen and the wild wife.

There are many public opinions in the city, but they are limited to the city, especially the markets of Qi and Wei. The Chu State only talks about the land of Lu and Song, but it is mostly private. How can the private affairs of the Wang court be vilified by the common people?

Xiong Jing didn't care or pay attention to public opinion among the people. He only cared about the public opinion of the army. The propaganda and rumors led by the Grand Sima Mansion were concentrated in the army.

It is true that Mi's family comes from Qin, but Mi's surname is Mi, and ultimately, he is a Chu person. As for Mi Rong, as a general of Qin, attacking Chu and killing Chu people, this involves the difference between public revenge and personal grudges.

It is understandable that Mi Rong ate the King of Qin's fortune to relieve the King of Qin's worries and lead a righteous army to attack Chu. This is an obligation that should have been fulfilled as a minister; so is Bai Qi. Bai Qi was cruel, Bai Qi attacked Yan Ying and drowned hundreds of thousands of Chu people, but this was a war. If others were generals, they would still be in the city under the advice of their advisers. The crimes committed according to war practices are public crimes and the public revenge of the people of Chu. Public revenge should be revenged, and the target of revenge should not be Mi Rong or Bai Qi, but the entire Qin State.

On the contrary, like Jing Hua, although he had not massacred hundreds of thousands of Chu people, he did rebellious things with the salary of the previous king, which was unfaithful and unrighteous. Without the salary of the Qin king, he helped the Qin king escape from the trap, which was either a thief or a bandit. This was the personal grudge of the Chu people. In the future, Chu State destroyed Qin and Bai's family were not guilty. The surname Ying may be pardoned, but the Jing family of Qin must not be pardoned. The ancestors of Mi clan had a public grudge with Chu State. The Chu army defeated the Qin army and attacked Xianyang. They had already avenged this and had no hatred for each other.

The young man Mi is the daughter of Chu, and it is understandable that the king loves the daughter of Chu. Besides, the king met the young man Mi before, not the wedding after; the husband and wife are actually before the wedding, not after the wedding. Now the king has not violated the righteousness of husband and wife, and is respectful to the young man Mi as guests.

——Line-Generals led most of the wise men to read, so they promoted this way; most of the wise men below the wise men do not know a word, so they do not make literary explanations. They simply and roughly say that the young master Mi is a Chu girl, and the king promised to marry her as the queen, but unexpectedly, the villain caused trouble and deceived the queen mother...

Propaganda is a technical job, and lies are told a thousand times. The Dachu news hosted by Song Yu has been publishing hidden articles, provoking civilian controversy, while the military has been refuting rumors in order to clarify the truth.

If someone is obsessed with it, he must take what the news of the Great Chu is saying. The soldiers and soldiers directly draw their swords to fight with this person. Such people are literate and thoughtful, and most of the literati will refuse to fight, but they will be ridiculed by all the soldiers.

There is no way for the Ludi Army Brigade, which has always regarded the news of the Great Chu as its guide. Xiong Jing felt that the people of Lu were becoming more and more like flies in food. He wanted to remove the fly from the soup of Chu, but this was obviously impossible. Qi was already in danger. If Qi was really dead, the Eastern Front could only rely on the Lu people to defend. The Lu people should be eliminated after Chu and Qin decided to win.

In addition to paying attention to military public opinion, Xiong Jing also paid attention to military logistics, especially supply. At this time, the financial meeting was held in the main bedroom.

The Chu army uniforms, military boots, bedding, military food, and medicine were different from those of the Zhao army and the Wei army. The Chu army was originally the same as the Zhao army and the Wei army, and all these things were prepared by the soldiers. However, the Grand Sima Mansion had almost considered it and finally decided to set the military uniforms, military boots, bedding, luggage, military tents, cooking utensils... all of which were customized.

It is not for the sake of beauty, but the soldiers’ own cooking utensils cannot meet the standards of the combat department. For example, the simplest cooking utensils are an average of twenty people. During the short-distance marching, the cooking utensils are carried by the soldiers in the Wunei, and the long-distance marching is of course placed on the carriage. The cooks provided by the soldiers include copper and iron, large and small, new constructions, and captured Qin people. If the cook utensils are of exactly the same size and shape, they can be stacked together like wine cups, which cannot occupy much space.

Space can be saved and weight can be determined. Flocculated bedding, cotton bedding, leather bedding, these bedding and bedding of different weights are transported by luggage fleets. Carriage loads are all customized. Bedding with different weights are either overweight or cause a certain degree of idling, resulting in waste of transportation capacity.

There are countless benefits of space, capacity, soldiers and standardization, but these benefits cost money.

From head to toe, a summer military uniform costs about 800 yuan, and a winter military uniform costs 300 yuan. If you want to buy a little, you will be inclusive of regular clothes, dresses, training clothes, combat uniforms, raincoats and bedding. None of them can’t be bought. If a person is one, 200,000 yuan will be 200,000 yuan. If only military uniforms are equipped, the finances will go bankrupt.

When more than 200,000 Chu troops unified the logistics equipment, each county paid no more than one-third of the money according to the wealth, and the soldiers paid one-third of the money, and the rest was solved by Wang Ting. More than 200,000 soldiers, although the supplies were not sent every year - winter clothes, bedding, raincoats, luggage were sent every two or even three years, cooking utensils, and military tents were sent every five years, which still kept the finances out of breath.

The equipment of the Chu army was already a burden, while the 100,000 Zhao army moved south was another burden. After years of war, the Zhao people moved south had extremely limited property. It was previously maintained by the funding of the Three Kingdoms, and this was even more so after the migration to the south.

With such a difficult life, the Zhao army soldiers still hoped to have the equipment and equipment of the Chu army. If all 100,000 people were all equipped, they would cost more than tens of thousands of dollars, and then they would need another 10,000 yuan each year to supplement them. Although the money was lent to Zhao State through low-interest and interest-free loans, it still had to be paid by Wang Ting.

At the wartime financial meeting, the Grand Sima Mansion presented a summary table of wartime military expenditures. From the start of the war in May last year to the present, a total of 1.673.2 million yuan, or 174,291 gold. (1 gold = 9,600 yuan)

These money does not include pre-investment fees, but are only expenses incurred during wartime, including military food expenses, clothing expenses, military armor expenses, ammunition expenses, horse expenses, illness and injury expenses, array equipment expenses, transportation expenses, construction expenses, diplomatic (buying) expenses, ships and vehicles purchase expenses, sacrifice expenses, rewards expenses, and miscellaneous expenses.

Among them, military food costs account for 60% of the total military costs, which is 112.5 million yuan; transportation costs account for 157.17 million yuan; hospital costs account for 158.14 million yuan, which is close to 10%; the remaining costs are other costs, which account for 15.7.17 million yuan.

The military expenditure is as high as 1.6 billion yuan. In fact, the main items to pay gold, silver and Chu are the two items of clothing and horses, which will not exceed 30,000 gold. But this is only the wartime military expenditure from last year to this year. The purchase cost before the war is not included. As the war continues, the damage to military equipment and the consumption of military armor and ammunition, and the death of the war horses, the military expenditure will increase year by year.

If the Zhao army wants to purchase the same logistics equipment as the Chu army, the military expenditure this year will increase by at least 30,000 yuan. This money is extra-budgetary and will now be included in the wartime budget, and the financial pressure is huge.

Xiong Jing looked at a thin piece of Chu paper for a long time before putting it down. He looked at Jing Shu of the Military Preparation Department and said in confusion: "Why do the Zhao people have to ask for our military uniforms? The Zhao soldiers had battle robes and quilts."

"The king doesn't know anything." Jingshu had known Xiong Jing would ask this long ago. "After the 100,000 Wei troops were completely complete, the Wei army was all the same, but the uniforms were different, and the rest were the same. The soldiers of the Zhao army were envious when they saw that our army and the Wei army were both new equipment. After moving south, the soldiers of the Zhao army were all homeless. Qin marquis and spies also said that the rumors of the Zhao army returned to Zhao would not punish them. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, General Sima had to ask the King of Zhao to purchase equipment according to our army's style..."

The Zhao army could help the Wei State defend the territory of the State of Wei, but in the long run, the Zhao army was not suitable for staying in Daliang. Daliang was too close to Zhao State, and it was difficult for the Zhao people who were homesick to resist the idea of ​​going home to see it. As for purchasing equipment, the Zhao people were most afraid of being despised by others. Although their equipment was better than the soldiers of Qi, they were still worse than those of the soldiers of Chu and Wei State. They must have thought of changing clothes, but only the Zhao people could come up with this method by changing clothes to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Last year, I had a feud with the Seleucids, and the trade won less than ten thousand gold. What I had won before was too much money. If I hadn't received the gold from Xianyang last year, the government would have no money." Shi Zhi's iron cockerel looked disgusted. If Xiong Jing had not summoned him urgently, he would not have attended the meeting at all.

Through the Bank of Four Kingdoms, Chu State has been lending money to Zhao State. Of course, the money is worth borrowing. Although Zhao State was destroyed, the Zhao people defeated the Qin army and exhausted the Qin State. Exhaustion is not the most important, the most important rhythm of attack.

Qin State fought for three years, the year before last, last year, this year, this year is the third year. According to the latest intelligence analysis, Qin State will be held back until next year and must rest for one to two years before the war will be fought again. Chu State only participated in the war last year, and without Dongzhou Valley, it can last for two years and eight months.

In the past, Qin State fought whoever he wanted, and fought whenever he wanted, and fully mastered the strategic initiative. The entire state machine operated at the smoothest rhythm under the management of officials. After the revival of Ying, Chu State was able to challenge Qin State, and the sacrifice of the Zhao people led to such an opportunity. It was impossible for Qin State to make a ceasefire. Chu State would continue to attack to disrupt the inherent rhythm of Qin State's war machines and make agricultural production, animal husbandry production, and weapons production unable to keep up with the war demand.
