Chapter 561: Storing Troops on the Border
A Cuju match allowed the world to witness the Qin people's martial spirit.
A sports competition made the world know and understand Qin State and Xianyang.
It can be said that the originally unprofitable business turned into a success through the joint efforts of Qin Hui and Heshen.
Nowadays, we can already see very good benefits.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Moreover, Ying Yuan is not quite aware of all this.
The men's football final is over.
As expected, Gao Qiu won the first championship of Cuju competition.
He also held up the Hercules Cup carved from solid gold.
Ying Yuan felt depressed and had some complicated emotions about this.
This can be considered as a contribution to the development of Cuju in later generations.
Just a championship, that's all.
After the game.
The Emperor of Qi and the Emperor of Xia began to analyze Ying Yuan's actions.
They even walked together.
In the temporary palace, he discussed the issue of gunpowder.
"The Qin Emperor never does business at a loss. Is there a flaw in the gunpowder technology they gave us?"
"According to reports from officials who have been in contact with Qin Hui, Qin Hui has requested the art of battle formations from our Xia Kingdom."
Battle formation?
Hearing this, Emperor Qi was shocked.
"I see. Qin only had to give one thing, yet it gained the most profound military techniques from both our countries."
The military formations of the Xia Kingdom are famous throughout the world.
Nowadays, it is still possible to let the armies of various countries set up the Bagua formation or the long snake formation.
But if it's more complicated.
For example, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation, etc.
It is comparable to the Eight Diagrams Formation created by Zhuge Kongming.
And the role these formations play in field battles is endless.
A soldier of mediocre qualifications, once he learns a certain formation of the ancient formation.
Suddenly, you will become an ever-victorious general.
He can even compete with Yue Fei and others.
It can be seen how terrifying the military formations of the Xia Kingdom are.
Qi's armor manufacturing technology was second to none among all the countries.
Even some of Qi's armor could withstand attacks from blunt objects.
Especially their rattan armor, which has a natural restraining power against sharp weapons and is virtually invulnerable to swords and guns.
The Qin State only needs to pay one gunpowder technology to gain the foundation of the two countries.
It is definitely a sure win.
Moreover, when Qi and Xia both had gunpowder technology.
Wouldn’t Fengguo and other countries really be trembling with fear?
Do they really not need gunpowder technology?
At that time, if we did not buy gunpowder technology from Qin, we would buy it from Xia and Qi.
Will they feel reassured?
As a result, the benefits Qin will gain will be huge and immeasurable.
After understanding this clearly, Emperor Jifa of Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I almost fell into Emperor Qin's trap again."
Hearing this, Emperor Xia couldn't help but sneer, "This is Ying Yuan's conspiracy. Could it be that you don't want that gunpowder technology anymore?"
Ji Fa shook his head. "However, if we allow Qin to continue developing in this way, I'm afraid that all the things that other nations are proud of will be taken away by Qin."
As for a way to break the deadlock, there is actually one.
That is, led by the Xia Kingdom, countries began to share secret technologies with each other.
In this way, all countries will develop together, and Qin will not be able to seek profits alone.
However, there are differences between the hearts of the countries, and even the powerful Xia Kingdom is unwilling to take the lead.
Therefore, Emperor Xia said that Ying Yuan’s plan was an open conspiracy.
"Since we can no longer counterbalance Qin through military development, we can only approach it from other directions."
Emperor Xia spoke slowly.
In fact, from the moment the Games began, undercurrents had already begun to surge among the nations.
Emperor Xia always called Ying brother.
Once the Qin State loses power.
I guess he was the one who stepped on it the hardest.
Qi Diji asked curiously, "So, you have a good plan?"
Emperor Xia smiled and replied, "It's hard to say it's a good strategy, but isn't Qin's next strategic plan Chu's?"
"Why not just check and balance Qin and prevent it from attacking Chu?"
The Emperor of Qi asked again: "How to check and balance?"
The Xia Emperor said bluntly: "You and I should come together to force Qin to not lay a finger on Chu's territory within three years."
Emperor Qi frowned. "How can someone as domineering as Ying Yuan agree to this?"
Emperor Xia smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Chu State has secretly formed an anti-Qin alliance with certain other countries."
"If Qin wants to break the impasse, it can only form an alliance with you and me. If we intervene, he will be afraid that Qin will eventually face the enemy of the whole world, so he won't do anything too extreme."
Allowing the State of Chu to survive for another three years was to prevent the expansion of Qin's power.
At that time, the Xia State could rely on the gunpowder technology obtained from the Qin State to concentrate on research.
The Emperor of Qi agreed with the Emperor of Xia's plan.
They gave orders to their officials.
When negotiating cooperation with the Qin State, we must explain to the Qin State.
If you want to keep the business going for a long time, you must ensure that Qin cannot occupy even an inch of Chu's land within three years.
When Qin Hui learned the news, he reported it to Ying Yuan without hesitation.
Afterwards, Ying Yuan invited Emperor Xia and Emperor Qi to drink and talked about the matter openly.
Unexpectedly, the two emperors "united against foreign enemies",
"Brother Ying, you should leave such a small matter to your ministers. Why do you, the emperor, need to personally intervene?"
