Chapter 40: Deals

However, Zheng Zhun picked it up instead, no matter how he said it, he began to raise it and said: "Am I a person who sells women for glory." ”

Mu Rongshan didn't think so, and said, "Father-in-law, I'm so sincere, why can't you accept me." ”

He didn't care at all about calling a person younger than himself his father-in-law, after all, in this era, it is not for nothing that there are 70 brides and 17 brides, even if it is for future generations......

Zheng Zhun said: "Eh, eh, Master Chu, it is also her blessing to take a fancy to the little girl, why don't you go back to your imperial capital, please ask your father to send a matchmaker over, Ming Media is marrying, so I can also rest assured." ”

Mu Rongshan is ridiculous, how can he have a father in this world, maybe in the future, there will be that kind of orphan who will hire a group of actors to pretend to be relatives at his wedding, pretending that he is from a big family, but in this time and space, the elders are all orphans.

Mu Rongshan said discouragedly: "How can my father be free, besides, I am afraid that I will go back to the imperial capital for more than a year, what happened during this period, wouldn't I be able to marry a young lady, no, no." ”

Zheng Zhun said: "But you can't marry my beloved daughter away without such empty words." ”

He himself raised the evaluation level of his daughter from an insignificant daughter to a "beloved daughter", Vietnam has always had the habit of preferring sons over daughters, originally he didn't care about such a daughter at all, but suddenly it became a fragrant bun, which is naturally very different.

Mu Rongshan slapped his thigh and immediately said, "Yes, yes." ”

He hurriedly said: "When I came, I knew that the industrial group sold some arms to the Zheng family, these things, I have a word, naturally you can detain them first, and give them to your father-in-law for you to use, how about it, as long as you no, things will arrive at Hongji next month, oh no, you can reach Hongji in the next ten years, what do you say?" ”

"Guns?" Zheng Zhun was a little interested.

Mu Rongshan immediately said: "That's it, it's a high-quality standard weapon, my country's forbidden army is using it, and it's okay to use it, and the guards around me use this, if you like it, you can try it." ”

Zheng Zhun has seen it, but he doesn't care about it, the Celestial Empire, the utensils are naturally advanced, even if they are foreigners, but he didn't expect to get so much.

Mu Rongshan continued to stir his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and continued: "Father-in-law, aren't you going south, I'm optimistic, I support you enough ammunition, you can completely beat the thieves in the south, the rifle range can reach hundreds of meters, we still have artillery, whether it is the Armstrong Roundabout Accelerated Jet Armstrong cannon, or the multi-tower battery, it can greatly satisfy you, ah, what did I say, by the way, that cannon goes down, there is no live mouth, it is very sharp." ”

Zheng Zhun was a little more interested, and said: "What do you mean, even the Nanren's fort can be taken down." ”

Mu Rongshan said: "No problem! However, he was still a little discouraged: "It's a pity that this ship has those Mauser rifles, but they are enough." ”

Zheng Zhun muttered, if he could get so many guns, he didn't care about paying for a daughter, but he was greedy and wanted to exchange for more.

"This, if the virtuous nephew really has a heart, this dowry will not be shabby, besides, using a firearm as a dowry is not too ugly." Zheng Zhun didn't know at all that the man in front of him was older than himself, after all, Zheng Zhun grew up in the wind and rain between the rainforests, and Mu Rongshan, as a costume lover, had to pay more attention to his habits of maintaining himself than other colleagues, but he had already raised his identity and regarded him as a junior, and he couldn't imagine that he could marry a big man in the imperial capital.

Mu Rongshan nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, I must prepare a generous gift, well, then father-in-law, I can now order someone to take a fast boat to Guangdong to deliver the letter, and order them to send the things immediately, it will not exceed ten days, it should be delivered, when the time comes, do you send Ling Yan to me, we will become a good thing first." ”

Zheng Zhun was shocked: "It's so urgent, the little girl is only ......" He was embarrassed to say anything, in this era, it's really not that there are no people who marry in the twelfth or thirteenth, and the so-called political marriage, isn't that it.

However, this kid seems to be in too much of a hurry.

Mu Rongshan is not too anxious, but he is just to quickly let this Zheng Zhun open his mind.

"Father-in-law, this is what you don't understand." Mu Rongshan explained, "This Mauser rifle, that is the first weapon of our country's dynasty, the most invincible, the reason why our country can sweep thousands of armies, is to rely on this, often hundreds of people with guns in line, you can fight against thousands of enemy chiefs, if you get something earlier, deploy to your cronies a day earlier, form combat effectiveness, nothing else is good, blow up the southern Nguyen clan, become the first person in Vietnam, it is not a problem, with the Mauser rifle, and I will go back to help you with more support, just ask this southern country, who is your opponent." ”

Zheng Zhun asked: "What kind of coat color is just a thousand sticks?" ”

Mu Rongshan hurriedly said: "Those troops are lined up, just shooting there, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it is impossible to break through that defense line, think about it, five hundred meters away, if there is no other weapon that can hit you, it is not possible to kill people directly?" And the gun is loaded quickly, and it wants to block an intersection, but dozens of people are enough, but it is not the same as before. ”

Mu Rongshan said proudly: "In my country's armament, basically the sword is only the officer's command knife, and the mainstream arms are rifles and mortars, and hand-to-hand combat is basically the last option." ”

Zheng Zhun with a hint of fascination, and a little bit of thought that he didn't know, suddenly appeared, and asked, "Is it really so powerful?" I don't think it's any different from the foreigner's arquebus. ”

He is the nephew of the king, and the Chinese language of Sinology is also standard, but it is also the dismissal of foreigners, although those foreigners talk wildly, what generals buy my musket, you can defeat the enemy, but they are often beaten by people.

Of course, in the past questioning afterwards, Zheng Zhun has also seen the shamelessness of arms dealers, it is nothing more than that, your military training is not good, it is better to ask our instructors to teach, although we use our instructor training, but when it comes to fighting, you still can't give full play to your strength......

Anyway, it was these nonsense words, Zheng Zhun was a little worried.

Mu Rongshan said: "I still don't believe it, why don't I show you again?" Well, you are armed with a thousand Mauser rifles, and there will be no opponent for you in Vietnam. ”

Zheng Zhun's heart was pounding, he had already thought of the meaning of this sentence, but it seemed that this gentleman didn't understand what it meant, and at the same time, he was no longer thinking about anything, and said, "How can I believe what you say?" ”

Although Mu Rongshan is not good at observing words and feelings, he also understands that this Zheng Zhun has already taken the bait.

Ambition, once ignited, is irretrievable.

Mu Rongshan said: "It's okay, in this way, I will write a letter here, to my subordinates in the family, those people are personally promoted by my father, what I say, I dare not have a word, they receive the letter, they can send things, if ...... If the father-in-law can do the same, and also write a letter to ask Ling Yan to send to Hongji, we can ...... in person"

He had the heart to say that he would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, but he was really embarrassed by this, so he changed his words and said: "Verify it in person." ”

Zheng Zhun's eyes rolled, this temptation is indeed not small, a daughter can exchange so many weapons, in his opinion, it is simply a profit, it was nothing more than a money-losing goods, it turns out that there are so many benefits?

"This, I'm just afraid it's a little bad, my woman is the most short-sighted, I heard that I gave my daughter away so easily, she will not spare me, I think, you might as well go to Hanoi to see."

"Okay, all the time, I can meet more relatives of the Zheng family, by the way, King Zheng and others, what are their preferences, do I give gold, or silver, or send rifles."

This sentence made Zheng Zhun stop for a moment, yes, if you send the news of this kid back, I am afraid that everyone will have to attack the new weapon.

If, if the "hair-colored rifle" he said can really be done, even if it is half, he Zheng Zhun can become the number one army leader in Vietnam, and even swing south, sweep the Indochina Peninsula, and then ascend the throne and become king, it is not impossible.

But if it is known by others, it will naturally be attacked, and when the time comes, his rifle unit has just been obtained, and it may not be someone else's opponent, so it will naturally be separated.

He knew his own business, and now, in North Vietnam, this southward attack for many years was partly aimed at unifying Vietnam, and partly to consume each other's strength in order to achieve balance.

To put it this way, this kid is really ignorant, looking at the meaning of this "Chu Liuxiang", he really wants to go to Hanoi, when the time comes, don't have any twists and turns, he knows that the old seven and nine have daughters who are famous......

"Okay, I'll write a letter, but it's better to keep it secret, and get it delivered quickly, you know, my daughter has been courted by many people, and I will be questioned if I suddenly give her to you!"

Mu Rongshan said categorically: "No problem, father-in-law, you bring your daughter over next week, and I will give you the arms first!" ”

"It's settled."

Mu Rongshan learned the habits of later generations and shook hands in agreement.

At the same time, the two smiled at each other, looked at each other, and at the same time a voice sounded in their hearts, "This stupid hat." ”

Zheng Zhun does not attach much importance to Mu Rongshan, the son of a loser, and has already started to eat it, what should this son of a gentleman do, anyway, for the Celestial Empire, as long as there is the Donglin Party within the Celestial Empire, it will never be possible to do anything successfully, as long as you spend a little money, you can raise countless Donglin loyal dogs to work for yourself.

But Mu Rongshan has already danced in his heart, and he has a big plan!

As long as this Brigadier General Zheng gets the rifle in his hands, equips it in the hands of his cronies, and completes the preliminary training, it is really a Vietnamese hegemon, which is not bad, and it is not a recruit of the elders, and it needs to be completed for a few months of cultivation, for those cannon fodder, those who can bully the local natives of Vietnam, have half a month, they will line up to shoot, it is enough.

And as long as Zheng Zhun is so powerful, he has to rely on the elder's marionette.

Unlike arquebuses in this era, which could be fought with medicated seeds and iron sand, the bullets for Mauser rifles could only be produced by the Elders.

In other words, even if Zheng Zhun wanted to be self-reliant, his actual combat strength was completely between the calculation of the elders and the delivery of supplies.

Although it seems to be a dream, Zheng Zhun can't imagine what he will lose, his daughter is in his hand, he doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, so he naturally doesn't care at all, he is proud, he has a daughter, he can get such a chance to climb to the sky, it seems that he still has to work those women.

"Elder, someone is following us."

In the evening, Mu Rongshan was eating dinner, but Li Hongsleeve complained, she wore a hat and bought fresh seafood under the protection of the guards, but she noticed that someone was following.

In this era, the population is insufficient, even in a small place like Hongji, if you pay a little attention, it is normal to be found and followed.

Mu Rongshan was very generous and said: "What are you afraid of, they don't dare to hurt you, it's just that they're afraid that we will go, this is to protect us." ”

Li Hongsleeve was sullen and said: "That Vietnamese lady is here, I don't know how she will treat me, I will ...... when the time comes."

Mu Rongshan laughed out loud and said: "How is it possible, I am not an ignorant person, the three of you have always been my most intimate words to Mu Rongshan, don't be afraid, we will have a good New Year these days, this is not the north where the wind and snow are constant, you can have a good time." ”

Mu Rongshan's days are becoming more and more comfortable, Zheng Zhun is invited every day, and Mu Rongshan is also very generous to let Hu Tiehua and others demonstrate the performance of the Mauser rifle for him, Zheng Zhun is more and more convinced of this "Chu Gongzi", such a momentum, it is true that there are no other people except for the nobles of the imperial capital, and naturally he is constantly fiddling with his rear, there are not many other people, he can still find one or two thousand reliable cronies, although it is taboo to transfer troops without authorization, but it is not easy to make excuses, not many times, In the name of helping to repair the road, 500 people have been transferred to Hongji to gather.

Of course, this is also to make a few Han businessmen busy before and after, a lot of consumption, fortunately it is the New Year, although the price of various materials itself is rising, but there is no time of scarcity, not to mention, when a person arrives, it is naturally more preferential.

"Xiuwen, it's a great thing for you to introduce your father to a family affair for you in the next few days."

Zheng Xiuwen was scared and said: "Dad, I don't marry, I am willing to live with my father for the rest of my life." ”

Zheng Zhun secretly became angry and said, "How can this work! For the sake of you, Mr. Chu stopped the firearms for others! Don't say anything about offending people, where to put your father's face, well, we will meet tomorrow, dress me up and make people satisfied! ”
