Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 6535 Shi’a’s deal with King Parthia (Part 1)

In the interactions between countries, if Parthia is in a disadvantaged position for a long time, this will be detrimental to the long-term development of Parthia. The King of Parthia naturally understands the truth, but if he wants to reason with the Jin State, he needs to

It has the strength to compete with the Jin State.

The current stable development is hard-won. Only by maintaining the current stable development trend can it be more helpful to the prosperity after Anxi.

It can be said that after seeing the powerful strength of the Jin Kingdom, the Parthian King was eager to make the Parthian Empire develop further, and he would not hesitate to make greater efforts for it.

However, who would have thought that something like this would happen inside Parthia. Prince Artaban of Parthia would have ideas about the throne, directly posing a threat to the position of King Parthia.

If such a thing happened in the Jin State, it would definitely be surprising, because the emperor of the Jin State only needs an order to stop the little people hiding in the dark from slacking off at all. As for the

It is impossible for such blatant bargaining with the emperor to happen in the Jin Kingdom.

The emperor of Jin had great power, and his words could determine life or death.

And this kind of situation is not what the King of Anxi wants. Will it be so simple to become the real king of Anxi?

The situation in An'an is very different from that of Jin. Within An'an, there are many nobles. These nobles have the ability to change the decision-making of King An'an. Especially when more nobles unite, they can even change the position of King An'an.

have an impact.

In such an environment, the Parthian King must obtain the support of more nobles in order to make his position more stable.

This kind of Parthian Empire has a big difference in the power of the king, but this is also determined by the unique development method of the Parthian Empire. Originally, the formation of the Parthian Empire was due to many reasons. The military strength of the nobles, and more

It was formed under their rule, which led to the fact that even if the Parthian Kings of the past generations had ideas, they did not dare to act rashly.

In the process of the development of the empire, some nobles may decline, but their territory is divided among other nobles. If the royal family wants to have greater influence and develop greater, it is subject to considerable restrictions.

The situation in the Jin State was different. When the emperor's orders were issued, they could be well implemented. This Jin State had a great advantage over the Parthian Empire.

Whether it is war or development, it is no small test for the monarch. When the monarch has greater power, the monarch will have more room for choice when dealing with development and war, instead of being forced to do so.

Proceeding forcefully.

There is a big gap between the king of the Parthian Empire and the emperor of the Jin State. If the emperor of the Jin State were to deal with the affairs of the Parthian Empire, it would still be troublesome.

Can an emperor who cannot have greater power be called an emperor?

Therefore, after learning that the Jin merchants had the method of making the bed crossbow, King An'an couldn't calm down. He had to pay a certain price to obtain the method of making the bed crossbow. This was what he had to do.

"Do you have a method for making a bed crossbow?" King Anxi asked.

Shi A nodded, "The news from King An'an is indeed well-informed. I spent a lot of money to make the bed crossbow. Now I want to exchange it for some money in An'an. Of course, if I can't get it in An'an, I will be satisfied."

If I have more money, I will go to the Roman Empire or even more distant places."

"Did you know that in Anxi, there is already a method for making bed crossbows." King Anxi said slowly.

Shi'a's face changed slightly, and then he calmed down. "If that's the case, why does King Anxi still want to see me?"

"Of course I want to know the difference between the production method of the bed crossbow in your hand and the one I master." King An'an said.

Shi A secretly sneered. He didn't expect that King An'an still had some palaces. If someone didn't know the truth, he would probably be fooled by King An'an.

"King An'an, I paid a huge price to make the bed crossbow, but how much money can King An'an pay?" Shi A asked.

King An'an thought for a moment and said: "The maximum is one hundred thousand dollars, and I will order someone to return it to you after reading it."

Shi A shook his head, "One hundred thousand dollars? Do you know how much it cost me to get this thing from the craftsman's workshop of Jin? Not to mention one hundred thousand dollars, even if it's one million dollars, you can't see it."

.”

King An'an snorted coldly: "This is the royal palace. I only need one order to kill you. When you die, everything will belong to me."

Shi'a looked around in horror, and what came into view were the strong and sharp palace guards.

"King An Anxi, you can't do this." Shi Aqiang pretended to be calm and said: "I don't have the blueprints for making the bed crossbow. If I can't leave the palace, you will never get the blueprints from me.

, the drawings, I have put them in the hands of people I trust.”

King An'an was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "I am just joking with you. I am the King of An'an. How can I do something that is difficult for others?"

"One million dollars, this is my final price."

Shi A lowered his voice and said: "The King of An'an must know how useful the method of making the bed crossbow is. If the bed crossbow can be made, the combat capabilities of An'an's army will be greatly improved.

I am taking a huge risk by doing such a thing. If it is leaked, I will definitely be yelled at and beaten by everyone, I will have difficulty returning to the Jin Kingdom, and I will even be hunted endlessly."

"Minimum 20 million."

King An Anxi shook his head, "It's just a blueprint for a bed crossbow. How can it be worth twenty million dollars?"

The discussion between the two used Jin's monetary standards. This is because Jin's banknotes are easier to carry. Nowadays in the Parthian Empire, there are many Parthian people who buy goods with banknotes.

Under such a situation, more and more businessmen went to Parthia to do business, carrying banknotes with them.

More convenient banknotes will inevitably lead to more people using them.

Even if the top management of Anxi has certain concerns about such a thing, if they can't find a better way, they can only let the current situation develop.

However, they also know that when more Jin banknotes circulate in An'an, and when Jin's banknotes are exchanged for more materials, the impact on the development of An'an will be great, especially when the relationship between the two parties becomes bad.

, this impact is even more obvious.

However, it is more convenient for Anxi merchants to use banknotes when doing business in Jin. This trend is difficult to curb. Unless Anxi can find a more appropriate way to deal with it, the current situation will be very difficult to deal with.

change.

In terms of papermaking technology, Anxi is lacking, and it is obviously very difficult to obtain papermaking technology from the Jin State. The emperor of the Jin State has always been unwilling to do anything early, and the papermaking technology is not as good as Anxi's.

If you get it, the price you will pay will be huge.

Not only that, when it comes to the production of banknotes, Anxi is also at a loss. It can be said that it is very difficult to compare with Jin in terms of banknotes.

What's more, more methods are needed for the operation of banknotes. The Jin State has a lot of experience in these aspects, but the Parthian Empire, which lacks experience, is obviously unwilling to try it easily.

When Anxi has the opportunity to develop, if Anxi is affected by other things, such a thing is definitely not what King Anxi wants to see.

Facing the powerful Jin State and the Roman Empire, the pressure on King Parthia was actually quite great. He knew better that if Parthia could not be developed better, and if the Parthia Empire could not be made stronger, it would inevitably

Let Anxi lose more profits in the turbulent situation.

Only by making the army of the Parthian Empire stronger can the stable development be maintained for a longer period of time. It is very necessary for the Jin State and the Roman Empire to have more considerations even if they want to launch a war.

.

However, it is quite difficult to compete with the Jin army in terms of military strength. If these difficulties cannot be solved in a timely and effective manner, who can be sure what will happen in the future.

The Jin State was an empire with great strength, and when you see more of the Jin State's strength and more of the Jin Army's victories on the battlefield, you will feel that the Jin Army's strong strength has brought about

What kind of impact.

From the perspective of development, we can see the fierceness and ferocity of the Jin Army. We can also see what kind of help the Jin Army's unique development methods will bring to the prosperity of the Jin State.

It was precisely because the top leaders of the Parthian Empire saw the threat of Jin that they chose to have good relations with Jin after the war, so as to make the relationship between the two parties more harmonious and allow Jin to gain more benefits from such exchanges.

, it is expected that Jin will be more cautious when choosing war.

The emperor of Jin is worthy of awe in the way he responded to the war. Especially after seeing more of the invincibility of the Jin army on the battlefield, you will see what the appearance of the Jin army will bring in the war.

Such a threat, and wanting to better contain the threat posed by the Jin army is far from being as simple as imagined.

The Jin army has been strong for a long time. If you want to break this situation, you need to make certain changes in the combat methods of the generals. As long as they can compete with the Jin in these aspects, then their subsequent success will be

There will be greater possibilities, not that there is no better way to face Jin's suppression.

The strong national power of the Jin State will bring great pressure to the Parthian Empire, and even force the Parthian Empire to make some changes as it develops. However, if such changes can make the development of the empire better, they will not

There will be more hesitation.

"Twenty million is actually not high. If I bring the drawings to the Roman Empire, I will get more money. The King of Parthia will definitely not doubt this." Shi Adao: "If the King of Parthia has enough

If you are generous, I will also make a deal with King Anxi."

"What kind of deal is it?" King An'an asked. He was becoming more and more curious about Shi'a. If Shi'a was an ordinary Jin businessman, it would be impossible to obtain the drawings for making a bed crossbow.

possible things.

As for being able to obtain the production drawings of bed crossbows from the craftsmen's workshops of the Jin State, it is obvious that Shi A has connections in the craftsmen's workshops of the Jin State. This is relatively important news for the Anxi King, and the transaction with Shi'a,

It's even more difficult to appear petty.

King Anxi, you are so noble, how can you bargain with a businessman over some money?

After understanding this, King Anxi felt a lot more relaxed. "Of course, I agree to the 20 million yuan."

Shi A smiled and said, "Thank you, King Anxi. King Anxi is so generous."

"There is another thing I brought out at the same time as the production diagram of the bed crossbow. That is the production diagram of the Jin army's three-eyed blunderbuss."

King Anxi was moved. The production drawings of the bed crossbow and the production drawings of the three-eyed blunderbuss were the same as the means possessed by Artaban. Even if he had a head-on contest with Artaban, he would not

There will be more worries.

Besides, he is now the king of Parthia, so he will have a big advantage in winning the support of the nobles. After all, the king of Parthia is legitimate, and Artaban wants to fight for power. In this process, support Artaban.

But there will be certain dangers.

But if you support King Anxi, it's different. King Anxi is on the throne. With his status as King Anxi, he can do certain things more legitimately.

The excitement in the expression of the King of Parthia who wanted to understand this could not be concealed. It was precisely because of the production drawings of the bed crossbow and the three-eyed gun that Artaban behaved much more arrogantly after returning to Parthia, and even secretly wooed him

Many of the top leaders of Parthia are naturally competing for the position of King of Parthia.

And this kind of thing itself is something that the King of Parthia cannot tolerate. If even the matter of Artabanus cannot be handled smoothly, how can it be so easy to achieve greater achievements in future development?

of.

The Jin Kingdom and the Roman Empire were watching eagerly on the side. If the development of Parthia could not be achieved faster, it would be more passive in the future and even lose more benefits. In this case, what the Parthia King needed was

Work hard to become stronger.

And with the production drawings of the bed crossbow and the three-eyed blunderbuss, many difficulties can be easily solved, and he will even have more advantages when competing with Artaban. He can even imagine that when Artaban knows such news

What kind of reaction will there be next?

Facts have proved that Artaban has strong means. Otherwise, he would not have caused such great trouble to the Parthian King in the Parthian Empire.
