The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin State, Xianyang. Prime Minister's House.

"Interesting, Eastern and Western Mengzhou has gone together." Shang Wen looked at the telegram in his hand and said to Meng Yi. Meng Yi just sorted out a document, this document is about mortgage Qin State's money in the Western Regions currency issuance rights, Qin State will use the funds to build northern Xinjiang, as well as expand the southern Xinjiang Railway, the capital needs of the Yuezhi section, In addition, if sufficient funds, Qin State does not rule out building more branch railways to fulfill the transportation needs of economic construction.

"Northern Alliance?" Meng Yi asked after reading the telegram handed over by Shangwen.

"Yes. The Northern Alliance, it seems that the North also needs large-scale construction. After all, the Qin State is currently mainly concentrated in the Western Regions." Shang Wen said.

"If the two East and West Mongolia can be united, their situation will be better. At least resources can be concentrated, labor and capital will take a good solution." Meng Yi said.

"Yeah. But their main purpose of uniting is to develop the undeveloped areas in the north, where there are only a few Huns tribes, lack of population, and vast forests will bring great living conditions, especially the cold climate, no one is really enough. Withstand such cold weather." Shang Wen said worriedly.

"However, I think that as long as they have sufficient funds, they can solve such problems. After all, they are rich in resources. If the industry develops enough, it will need a lot of resources." Meng Yi said. In Meng Yi's view, what the North lacks is not labor, nor development projects, but funds. As long as there is sufficient funds, the Western Regions will be developed, and the North can do the same.

"Well. The first thing they solve is the problem of funding. Without funding, no businessmen are willing to go there. But we must first solve their labor problem. We need to absorb those few tribes. The population of the two states has been in recent years. It is an outflow state. No one wants to enter such an area to do business. Without sufficient labor, it is difficult to develop a large amount of mineral mining. The use of manpower is already in a relatively backward state. Unless machinery is used, it is difficult to develop it. ." Shang Wen said.

"Yeah." Meng Yi nodded. The most important thing for the development of the North is to solve the problem of funding. There is only one solution, finance.

Within Dawan. Big gold mining town. This is a small town developed by mining gold mines. There is also a small gold mining town nearby, but it is much smaller than their town. There are about 5,000 people in this town. There are also many Dawan people from all over the mine. They are the main source of labor.

"In my opinion, your only way is to turn the town into your fortress, use a lot of barbed wire to limit the offensive of the rest cavalry, and leave a few passages. The houses in the town should be reinforced to form a fortress. Lure the sabbath cavalry to launch an offensive, and then, your town, whether it is the elderly, women, or children, must learn to shoot. Those houses." Qin Jun Captain Liang Yi accused the timber huts.

"It must be heightened, reinforced, and a lot of shooting holes added." Liang Yi said. He is an advisory officer sent by the Qin Army who is responsible for providing guidance for defensive fortresses. They are all infantry officers and have good command experience on how to strengthen their development.

"Old people, women, children. Do you want to participate?" Li Huo, the town's musket captain, thought with worry. This is his Qin country's name, and this is to deal with Qin people well.

"Yes, the goal of the rest is your small town. The defense of the town is very poor. There are not many young and middle-aged people, and you have to go to the mine. This will further weaken your defense. The only way is to let The elderly, women, and children all participate. The musket training is simple, even if they can’t shoot, they can also learn to load bullets, then reinforce your houses, use stones, and use baskets to add stones, reinforce windowsills, doors, etc., Then use sandbags to set up a fortress on a high place, so that your muskets can shoot the rest cavalry, and the rest cavalry only needs to enter. All angles are within your firepower shooting range. Such a blow is very deadly to the cavalry. After attacking several times, they will know how powerful you are. Under such a blow, I think they will soon understand their situation." Liang Yi said. He is a defense expert and knows how to use infantry to defend against cavalry, but infantry must have good fortifications. Small towns are their fortifications. Most importantly, small towns that are attacked and processed will become good fortresses. , Let the enemy come in, the resting cavalry's mobile advantage will be greatly restricted, in this case. Cheap Musketeers will have the best shooting targets.

"Don't worry, the Parthians don’t have artillery, and your losses are very small. If you are trained as a musket team and lined up to fight the enemy, I am very worried about your situation, because you know that your situation is not at all. Maybe you can deal with those cavalry who move back and forth, on the contrary, because your training situation will become the best target. You are doomed to fail." Liang Yi said.

"However, we lacked muskets, a large number of muskets, and the Musketee team only had more than one hundred muskets. It simply couldn't meet this demand." The town mayor Li Zhen said worriedly.

"Well. You can use gold for it. I think, as long as there is enough profit, you can get enough guns. In addition, you are minerals and have enough explosives. If necessary, I think you can make gunpowder yourself. . I'll help you." Liang Yi said. The formula of gunpowder seems to be no longer a secret. But for the people of the Western Regions. They thought it was still a big secret, but Qin Jun didn't seem to worry about it at all, in their opinion. It won’t take a long time for someone to learn about such a low-profile thing as gunpowder. So there is no need to be conservative in value anymore.

"This. This. That would be great." Li Zhen hesitated, because explosives are more expensive than muskets. Their main use of explosives is to mine mines, not to fight wars. If they fight, it will cost a lot of money. Explosives, this is too serious for them.

However, in order to eliminate the harassment of the rest, Li Zhen can only do so. Besides, the Qin officer also promised to tell them how to deploy gunpowder. Under such circumstances, they dared to do this, otherwise, he would never use explosives to blow up the damned rest.

Bangla. The residence of Chu people. The military camps of the Chu people are far from complete as the Korean military camps. They look like simple camps organized by a group of people without any military training. From the perspective of the Central Plains, they are a group of mobs, but they are just such a group of mobs, Bangla. People attacked them. Because in their view, the Koreans are a group of demons, and they are a group of greedy demons. When attacking them, they will use a variety of weapons to counterattack them, which will cause them great losses. And Koreans have a lot of demands. If they can't agree, their situation will be very bad. In contrast, Chu people are much easier to get along with. When the Menglais attacked the Koreans. The Chu people have secretly reached an agreement with the Mengla people that they can engage in secret trade. After all, the Chu people come here to make money. It is a personal act to make money. Fighting is a matter of the country. They have already fought with the Koreans. Victory. Next, the main purpose is to act for one's own money. While the Mengla people were anxious to attack the Koreans, the Chu people had already started their trade.

Silk, tea, sugar, glasses, mirrors, everything they could think of were shipped to Bangladesh, and what they got in exchange was a large amount of ivory, gold, and various commodities of slaves piled up in the barracks.

The military camp has become a trading zone, and both officers and soldiers are doing all kinds of business. Merchants from Bangla are already very familiar with entering the Chu Army barracks, because they are often commercial representatives of military officers. The military officers or Chu merchants bought goods and sold them to the Mengla people, or the Chu merchants and the Chu military officers did business together. Anyway, they don't make money like soldiers anymore.

"Sir. This time we will make a lot of money." Bangla businessman Hafa said with a smile.

"It's good to make a lot of money. We need a lot of gold. The more gold the better. It's too hot here. But I like it here. Your women's skin is not good enough. It's too dark but it's okay." Captain Li Cheng said. In his opinion, gold, women can arouse their interest. There are many soldiers and officers in the barracks who are doing business.

"Sir. The silk business is doing very well, but we need other things, and they are worth a lot. Gold comes faster." Hafa said with a smile. His eyes and his skin looked disgusting, it was a look that was extremely greedy for gold.

"What business?" Li Cheng asked curiously. He is now not letting go of any method of making gold, because many officers have already made a lot. They used their soldiers to carry out large-scale money-making activities. The soldiers became the best merchants. The major officer had earned three hundred boxes of gold. This made him, the captain, very jealous, because he only earned thirty-five boxes of gold. In contrast, he felt too little. He should work hard. If they go on like this, the above will definitely not let them go on like this. On the battlefield, they will die at any time, and he has already planned to talk. Start buying land after earning enough gold. I heard that there are large tracts of land on the west coast to buy. He thinks that being a farmer is also very cost-effective.

"Musket." Hafa whispered. Guns are a sensitive topic for them. Koreans are unwilling to let a large number of guns and artillery flow into the hands of the Mengla people, because that thing can pose a great threat to them.

"What?" Li Cheng felt as if his ears had misheard. He turned to look at Hafa. Hafa nodded silently.

"It's a musket, three golds, exchange for a musket. In addition, the price of the artillery is more expensive, and it can reach 100 gold for a gun." Hafa said excitedly.

"Oh my god." Captain Li Cheng called out in surprise. The cost of flintlocks is very low. They Chu army uses the cheapest muskets. Naturally, he knows the cost. In Qin, there are less than twenty. You can get a good flintlock for half a couple of dollars. The bullets were given away for nothing. Sometimes such muskets cannot be sold. The reason is that the flintlocks are powerful. However, the range is very short and the use of them is cumbersome. Such weapons should have been eliminated long ago. The Chu army is still equipped with a lot of equipment. I heard that there are new rifles that use fixed-mounted metal bullets, which have a long range and great lethality, but they are not what the army can equip. Because he came here, a second-rate army came to garrison here.

"Such a business is not easy to do." Li Cheng first felt that muskets are not easy to handle. There are a certain number of muskets in the army. If they are lost, his officer will go down soon. Besides, there is no war now. Time to say.

"But the profit is huge, sir, this is a good opportunity." Hafa said.

"Yeah. Then can you tell me, why do you need muskets? Do you Mengla people still have to fight with us?" Li Cheng asked angrily. For the Mengla people. The Chu people and Koreans are sometimes very vigilant. After all, the Menglais are not of the same race as them. They are ethnic minorities. For them, there is a natural difference.

"This, it's like this." Seeing Li Cheng's suspicious look, Hafa knew to tell the truth. Because if he deliberately concealed it, he would definitely not be able to make money. At present, he has grown up relying on the talents of Chu. If he leaves the Chu, his situation will be very bad. He didn't want such a situation to happen, so the only thing he could do now was to find a way to rely on the people of Chu, and he couldn't hide anything.

"We Mengla people are actually a city-state of the Northern Dynasty, which is a small country below. Recently, the Northern Dynasty wanted to resist the attack from the Northern Meat State. The Meat State uses a fire-breathing weapon like yours. Very sharp, and equipped with as many artillery as you, their attack is very sharp, has caused very serious losses to our northern dynasty." Hafa said. And Li Cheng just nodded, and he understood Meng La's understanding. Because he never wanted to know these things before.

"We have established a stable fortress defense line in the north, but the army of the meat country can still pose a great threat to us, because we cannot make guns and artillery like yours. Later, the Northern Dynasty learned about this, Recently, it was ordered to adjust the contradiction between our country of Bangladesh and Champa, and get more muskets from your hands as soon as possible, because only in this way can we obtain more weapons and keep our northern dynasty extremely fragile. The line of defense. The line of defense without muskets and artillery simply cannot withstand the attacks of the northern countries. Our command has become extremely fragile and weak." Hafa said.

"Oh." Li Cheng nodded. This is the first time he understands such a thing. But this still can't eliminate his doubts about the other party.

"I am worried that your equipment with so many muskets and artillery will pose a great threat to us. I think you should know that if you are equipped with such muskets and artillery, aim at us." Li Cheng said embarrassedly, shaking his head. .

"Sir, you should believe me. What I said is true. You can check what I said. It is absolutely true. If I don’t believe it, I have nothing to do. We in Mengla are absolutely not Will shoot at the Chu people, we hate war very much, you are already very powerful." Hafa said.

"If you do this, I believe it, but I think you should take some practical actions." Li Cheng said.

"Let’s do this, you reduce the size of your army. Keep it at 10,000 people, and you can equip them with guns and artillery, but the garrison’s warranty is scattered, and your safety, we Chu and the Koreans will unite to protect you. Otherwise, I would hardly believe What you said." Li Cheng said.

"Yes, sir." Hafa nodded.

In the opposite Korean military camp, one thing made Zhang Shi annoyed, but at the same time he felt that it was not that simple.

"Sir. It's these three soldiers. They planned another seven Sink soldiers to steal our weapons. If it weren't for our patrols to find out in time, the situation would be very serious." Zhang Dafa looked at the three kneeling below with some annoyance. Xin Kebing, they were trembling. Because when I ran away. It was discovered by the patrols that they didn't know the scope, route, and time of the patrols of the new South Korean army. It should have been discovered.

"Why are you stealing our weapons? I think you should be very aware of the serious consequences of such guilt." Zhang Shi looked at the other party and said.

He can easily kill the opponent, but he must know why the opponent does this. What is the reason? He needs to know this, otherwise, it would be of no use for him to kill the opponent.

"Say. If you don't let me, I will turn you into bones little by little." Zhang Dahui threatened.

"Sir, I know we were wrong." A Xinke soldier lowered his head and said.

"We steal weapons because we can get rich rewards when we sell them to the northern dynasty. We can get more gold and official positions. This is news from the northern dynasty." Xin Kebing said.

"Speak clearly." Zhang Shi asked. Xin Kebing nodded.

"The northern dynasty is willing to spend ten gold coins to buy muskets, and the more the number, the better. It will not only give these things, but also the official position, so as to avoid the gap in our status. We will become noble people from the lowly. It is very important to us. This is our greatest encouragement. Really." Xin Kebing said excitedly.

"Oh." Zhang Shi said, touching his chin.
