Chapter 592 Weak Country Diplomacy
Chapter [-]: Diplomacy of Weak Powers

In the army of the Great Chu State in the past dynasties, those officers could not be said to be sacks of wine and food, but they would never train hard.

Although the soldiers are still poor people, they do not need to train hard, but they do not need to train hard. As long as they find the boss and stand in line, they can eat and drink well.

The strong army of the Great Chu country has not been a day or two. The number and equipment of the army have gone up, but it is impossible to fight well, because the officers are afraid of death, and the soldiers are not willing to give their lives, naturally it will collapse at a touch!
These ills, the people of those big families can see clearly, even the emperor can see clearly, but there is no way to correct them!
Because strong army is not a slogan, it needs money!Now that all the money is in the hands of the family, if you don't let the children of rich families hold office, what do you use to support the army?

Besides, military power is also a very sensitive issue. As far as the royal family is concerned, the army is much safer in the hands of wine bags and rice bags than in the hands of famous generals!
The current royal Xiang family, because of a military genius in the family, snatched the throne from the Xiong family thousands of years ago.

The iron law of the Immortal Cultivation World, although it does not allow the war to destroy the country, it will not interfere in the war of one family within the country to overthrow the rule of another family!

Therefore, in the past thousand years, there have been thousands of battles between the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Han Kingdom, but the number of times the Great Chu Kingdom has been defeated has exceeded [-] times.

Every time Dahan is bored, after a period of time, he will find some excuses and beat Dachu for two purposes: one is to train troops, and the other is to pay compensation!

When the Great Han State threatened to attack the Great Chu State, the famous officials and generals of the Great Chu State naturally would not lose their mouths, and immediately launched a powerful propaganda offensive.

First of all, it is to publicly condemn the Dahan State for trampling on the sovereignty of other countries, thinking that the Dahan State is unruly and deceives people too much, and must fight bloody to the end!
Second, they sent a large number of envoys, with generous gifts or promises, to other countries in the Kamikaze continent to seek their verbal support.

Although the Dahan Kingdom is powerful, it cannot be the enemy of the whole world. The envoys of other countries are still treated with high standards, and when the time is right, they will give other countries a favor!
The army of the Great Chu State confronted the army of the Great Han State, no matter in terms of quantity or equipment, they are not inferior!
At the beginning, the Great Han Kingdom did not dare to be careless, for fear of being deceived by the Great Chu Kingdom!Because of their few defeats, it was because they got false information and underestimated the Chu army.

Once the real decisive battle begins, the army of the Great Chu State is still on the verge of collapse. After several defeats, the peace talks will be put on the agenda again by both parties!
Fortunately, there is an iron law in the world of immortality, and the Dahan state does not dare to forcibly occupy the land of the Dachu state. It is not necessary to cede the land and seek peace.

The conditions for withdrawing troops are not unacceptable, it is nothing more than asking the Great Chu State to provide some commercial conveniences and compensate for some losses caused by the war.

Although there is the umbrella of the Xiuxian world, the diplomacy of weak countries is still very important!Surrendering without a fight will definitely not work, and it will not pass the test of domestic patriots. Therefore, propaganda work must be done well, and the hearts of patriots must not be cold!
It was not just the Han Kingdom that made money from the war, because during the war, the propaganda of the Great Chu Kingdom was in place, and the people had money to contribute money and grain to donate food!
These money, naturally, entered the treasury and distributed to the army, and actually went to those who control the army.

When the patriotic enthusiasm of the people subsides, and the family property has almost been donated, it is time for the war to end!

Of course, the Great Han Kingdom will also be concerned about some of the Great Chu Kingdom's face, and did not treat the Great Chu Kingdom as a defeated country, but signed an armistice agreement on the basis of equality and mutual benefit!
However, to reciprocate the favor, the State of Chu also needs to recognize some of the privileges of the merchants of the State of Han in the country, and purchase a large number of products that have been backed up in the State of Han at a high price.

In this way, everyone is happy, even if the war is temporarily over, the pockets of those patriots and ordinary people are empty!
……

Great Chu State is known as a water town, and the capital is built on the banks of the Yangtze River.

Although the capital is some distance away from the river, there are several piers and water villages by the river, one of which is the shipyard, which is used to manufacture and repair ships, where Xia Kai's official residence is located.

It sounds nice, Xia Kai is a member of the military department, and he is in charge of the manufacture and maintenance of weapons across the country, but in fact he can manage only this shipyard.

The manufacture and maintenance of weapons and ships was the main item of the Great Chu State's military budget. Even if the Xia family was one of the four great families of the Great Chu State, it could not enjoy such a big piece of cake.

In fact, even if it is the manufacture of warships, the Xia family is only in charge of the construction of the hull. In fact, the four major families are involved in it. In the supply of materials, the major families all have a share!

The situation here is very complicated, and it is also linked to the distribution of the interests of the major families, and it is also related to the amount of money allocated by the imperial court.

Xia Kai was awarded the rank of sixth-rank military officer, and the four major families still supported it. After all, the Xia family gave up some benefits and only got an official position, and they did the things that the Xia family should do.

But if Xia Kai wants to use chicken feathers as an arrow, and really take care of the manufacture and maintenance of those weapons, I'm afraid he won't be able to get in!
Before Xia Kai came to the yamen office, Xia Shan, the minister of personnel who came to see him take office, is also a core member of the Xia family. He also knows Xia Kai's identity and is very in awe!

However, Xia Bao, the head of the military department who was in charge of the shipyard, did not have enough identity to know Xia Kai's secrets.

He, the head of the military department, was originally in full charge of the shipyard. Suddenly, a direct boss came. Although he was not happy in his heart, he was very welcome on the surface!

Xia Kai still has a lot of interest in the shipyard in charge.The South Ship and the North Horse are a high-level summary of the transportation mode of Kamikaze mainland.

As a big country in the south, the state of Great Chu is dominated by boats, while the area north of the Yangtze River is dominated by horses!

The reason is that the southern climate is humid, the rainfall is abundant, and the surface river network is densely covered. Therefore, in order to adapt to the reality of the "water town", ship transportation came into being.

In the north, the climate is arid and semi-arid, with extensive grasslands and developed animal husbandry. In addition to providing milk and meat products, horses have been domesticated as means of transportation due to their good endurance and high speed, and have become the means of transportation for the northern countries.

The most important thing is that the warships of the Chu State are very famous, and it is also the confidence of the Great Chu State to dominate the Yangtze River Basin. He can participate in the manufacture of warships in the shipyard.
