Valley Emperor

As a result, the Spaniards launched a medium-scale counterattack on the western coastal line of the Spanish Great Wall. About 30,000 Spanish troops armed to the teeth launched a counterattack against the Tatar army in front of them.

​​

The process and results of the battle made the Spanish people quite satisfied, especially their military generals. After seeing the actual combat results, they all shouted that Spain was invincible!

​​

And the Tatars on the opposite side are unlucky!

​​

In just about five days of fighting, the loss of troops was tens of thousands, and the line of defense was even forced to retreat at least a hundred kilometers. Only then did the situation stabilize.

​​

This made the Tatars who were still in the mood poured a basin of cold water!

​​

After the original Tatars, after breaking through the western defense line, especially after winning Paris after months of siege, their military strength of the Tatars has also reached its peak level.

​​

But I didn't expect that a small counterattack by the Spaniards on the southern front turned out to be a heavy loss.

​​

What caused the heavy losses?

​​

The front-line generals reported that during the battle, their artillery units were at too great a disadvantage, and due to the terrain and time, their cavalry advantages could not be brought into play. In the end, the flintlock guns used by the infantry were also inferior in performance. Flashback musket used by the Spaniards.

​​

Although they are all muskets, the flintlock guns produced by the Tatars themselves are far behind the high-end muskets exported by the Tang Dynasty in terms of firing rate, accuracy and effective range.

​​

The performance gap on the weapons was the main factor in this defeat.

​​

In addition, there are certain reasons in other aspects. For example, the troops are very proud and do not pay attention to the Spaniards. They think that the reason why Spain still exists is simply because the Tang people still keep them, and they still need the Tatars. Time to digest large swaths of French territory to consolidate the fruits of victory.

​​

But these factors are definitely not recognized by the high-level Tatar army.

​​

They didn't think it was because they underestimated the enemy, much less because they made mistakes in deployment, especially the timing of dispatching the cavalry was wrong. They firmly believed that it was not a problem of people, but a problem of equipment.

​​

In the end, Qi Qi, the military high-ranking officer of the Jin Kingdom of Tatar, wrote to King Shunyi, requesting to equip more advanced weapons and equipment.

​​

Where are the advanced weapons and equipment?

​​

Naturally, it was imported from Datang.

​​

At this time, Datang Arms Trading Co., Ltd. took the initiative to sell to the door very considerately, and gave a very favorable price.

​​

How much is the discount?

​​

A flasher musket is cheaper than their own shotgun musket!

​​

That's right, this time, the Datang Arms Trading Company will carry out arms dumping even if it doesn't make money for the time being, just like what they did in Spain, France, England, Ottoman and other places.

​​

First, use high-quality weapons to sell at low prices, so that they feel that it is better to buy them. Once they start to purchase Datang weapons and ammunition on a large scale, their own backwardness, and the defense industry, which is still at the stage of handicraft workshops, will lose orders.

​​

If there is no order, it will naturally go out of business. If it goes out of business for a long time, skilled workers will change careers.

​​

In a few years, even if they want to re-produce weapons by themselves, it is estimated that they will not find enough people.

​​

Just like Spain and other indigenous countries today.

​​

At this time, the price of weapons can be increased, and it is not even necessary to increase the price of guns. You can increase the price of consumable materials such as bullets and artillery shells. It will not take long to get back all the principal and profit.

​​

And most importantly, it can also complete the political tasks assigned by the empire.

​​

What task?

​​

Let the indigenous countries deindustrialize!

​​

Still the same sentence, farming and herding sheep is fine, but why do you want to set up factories, pollute the environment and make noise, and the living conditions of workers are still so bad.

​​

As a responsible global empire, the Datang Empire has the responsibility and obligation to help the indigenous countries to achieve sustainable development, and restore the blue water and blue sky to the indigenous people.

​​

Therefore, for companies like Datang Arms Trading Company, it is not important to make money or not. What is important is to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire to implement foreign policy overseas.

​​

Similar things, Datang Arms Trading Company has done many times in other indigenous countries, and the business is very skilled.

​​

This time in the Tatar Golden Kingdom is no exception!

​​

There was a defeat on the Western Front, and it was a relatively bad one. If the Spaniards hadn't withdrawn their troops on their own initiative at that time, it is estimated that the Tartar army would have lost more.

​​

Therefore, the Tatar army also wants to make changes in the army.

​​

Soon, a huge order was handed over to Datang Arms Trading Company!

​​

The Tatars expected to purchase all kinds of weapons and equipment enough to arm 200,000 troops.

​​

Of course, the Tatars are still not the same as the Spaniards. Even the military uniforms they wear are imported from the Tang Dynasty. They mainly import guns and ammunition. It's not actually any better than Spain to get there, not to mention the places where they spend their money.

​​

For this result, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Datang is still very satisfied.

​​

If this kind of thing happens a few more times, it is estimated that all the Tatar troops will be equipped with weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty. If it continues for a few years, it is estimated that the Tatar Golden Kingdom will be completely restored to its green waters and blue sky.

​​

Xuanping forty-four years, this is destined to be a stable year. The war between some overseas indigenous countries has no negative impression on the internal development of Datang, and even has a certain promoting effect.

​​

After all, there are tens of millions of Tang Yuan's orders for overseas military supplies.

​​

With more orders, it can naturally further promote the development of domestic enterprises. After all, Datang Arms Trading Company is behind the three major arms companies, and behind the three major arms companies is actually the entire Datang industrial system.

​​

In the end, these orders will be distributed to the entire industrial system, providing a considerable boost to the development of the industrial system of the Datang Empire.

​​

However, these external stimuli are far less powerful than the impetus of the empire itself.

​​

After all, in the economic system of the Tang Dynasty, domestic demand was the engine of economic power.

​​

This is a huge global economic system with a population of more than 300 million, with the mainland as the core, the Americas as a supplement, other overseas territories and indigenous countries.

​​

Even in order to completely investigate the economic situation in the empire, the Department of Economics of the Royal Institute of Technology even combined many data references to formulate a standard for measuring economic development such as gross national product.

​​

According to incomplete preliminary statistics, the gross national product of the Tang Empire in the 43rd year of Xuanping reached 12 billion Tang Yuan, which is quite terrifying data.

​​

After the statistics were collected, many ministers in the cabinet were a little stunned: Can we create so much wealth every year?

​​

Also, why do we still have so little tax? It’s only a few hundred million a year, shouldn’t it be a few billion?

​​

However, the professor in charge of the Economics Department of the Royal Institute of Technology said: "What's strange, the industrial output value of the empire accounts for more than 99% of the global industrial output value, and it is normal to have more than 10 billion."

​​

Everyone loves hearing this, so all the ministers nodded in unison!

​​

But what the professor said next made people a little uncomfortable.

​​

"Moreover, the statistics include a large number of agricultural and livestock industries. With a population of more than 300 million, if we just grow some grain and place some cattle, horses, and sheep, the output value is several billions. These data are of little significance."

​​

In this regard, the Minister of Agriculture frowned slightly, just focusing on food? Ma Dan, in order to feed more than 300 million people in the empire, our Ministry of Agriculture has worked hard to increase the output value of agricultural and livestock~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It doesn't make much sense to come to your side?

​​

The old man wants to hit someone...

​​

The professor continued: "As for the tax, the hundreds of millions you are talking about are only the central tax, and the local tax is not included in the statistics. If the local tax is included, then it is more than one billion a year."

​​

The Minister of Taxation frowned. For taxation, everyone has been tacitly talking about the central taxation since a few decades ago. This year it is only a few hundred million yuan. Everyone can accept it. You suddenly take out the local taxation and say that the public We know that the tax of more than one billion yuan a year is not good!

​​

"We spend 160 million every year on the army and navy alone, and that doesn't include the Guards. If you include the Guards, it's almost 200 million. There is no money to support this sky-high price. Military spending?"

​​

The people in the military are starting to get upset! Haha, sky-high military spending? It's only less than 200 million, you scream!

​​

Ma Dan, now the navy officers and men are going into the sea to fish for fish, and the army is going to grow vegetables and raise pigs. Looking at you, do you support cutting military spending?

​​

Ma Dan, I really want to slap him in the mouth

​​

And the professor continued: "The percentage of the secondary industry is still a little small in this more than 10 billion li, which is abnormal and unhealthy for an industrialized country, which shows that the speed of our industrialization process is not enough. Far from enough!"

​​

"We must accelerate the pace of increasing full-scale industrialization!"

​​

In this regard, the Minister of Commerce of the Empire is also not happy!
