(0728) Before that, Guanghaijun also thought about buying a large number of firearms from the Ming army and equipping his own army to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders alone. However, the quality of the firearms that the Ming Dynasty was able to provide was not very good, and the Korean army was unwilling to accept them. Gwanghae-kun himself also came out of the war, and he is indeed not very interested in those firearms that are not very powerful. This matter is over. However, the firearms of the white-clothed army are different. The firearms of the white-clothed army seem to be much stronger than those used by the Ming army. Otherwise, how could they have killed so many Dajin troops?

Xu Xingxia said unashamedly: "The power of our army's firearms has been fully realized by Dajin Guo. The corpses everywhere are the best proof of this. If your army is equipped with our army's firearms and defeats the Dajin army, there will be no problem at all. ”

Li Erzhan hurriedly said, "I don't know how many weapons your army can provide?" ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Weapons such as muskets, our army will provide as much as your army can afford to buy." Rest assured, the price is definitely negotiable. ”

As he spoke, he took out a price list that had been prepared a long time ago, sent it to Li Erzhan, and said with a smile: "Look, the price is definitely fair, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”

Li Erzhan looked at the price list, and secretly cursed in his heart, what price is fair, and Tong Su is not deceived? You're just slaughtering people with your eyes open. We bought the most advanced muskets from Westerners, and we only needed thirty taels of silver each. As a result, the musket made by your white-clothed army actually cost thirty taels of silver a piece, which is simply too bullying.

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Lord Li, the muskets equipped by our army are completely different from the muskets equipped by Westerners. The muskets used by our army are much more powerful, have a longer range and are better accurate. If you don't believe me, let's test it for ourselves. ”

He beckoned to bring over a war horse captured from Jianyu and placed it thirty zhang away. He also asked people to find a moon gun and shoot at the war horse. As a result, a shot passed, and the war horse fell with a bang. Subsequently, he asked people to find ten Yueyue guns and handed them over to Li Erzhan's guards to test in person. Sure enough, after a series of test firings, his guards couldn't put it down, and they were almost unwilling to return it to the white-clothed army.

Li Erzhan and others, this is really moving. Obviously, the muskets of the white-clothed army were much more powerful than the muskets they had seen before. Such a musket, thirty taels of silver, is indeed not very expensive. It seems that Xu Xingxia is not completely cheating himself, and at this price, he is indeed not bullied. If the DPRK army is equipped with such firearms, it can at least inflict powerful casualties on the Japanese and will not continue to allow the Japanese to run rampant unscrupulously.

In fact, with the continuous improvement of the production process and the continuous expansion of the scale, the production cost of Yueyue has been controlled to less than three taels of silver. As soon as Xu Xingxia changed hands like this, it was nine times the profit, such a fair price, Tong Suo was not bullied, and it is estimated that only Xu Xingxia could do it. He pit a large amount of money from the North Koreans, and the other party is grateful.

Li Erzhan immediately made a decision to purchase 10,000 moon guns and supporting ammunition in advance. After going back and discussing with King Li Hui, the number of purchases may have to increase. He believed that Li Hui would definitely like such a weapon. As long as the North Korean army changes its uniforms in large quantities, whether it is used against the Yue himself or against the Jurchens, it is a good weapon.

The only regret is that the Joseon Kingdom does not have so much silver at the moment. In general, the Joseon Kingdom was still relatively poor and did not have much financial resources. Moreover, in order to consolidate his rule, Li Hui, the king of Guanghai, implemented a lot of tax exemption policies, which also reduced the country's fiscal and tax revenues. It's not realistic to want to buy a lot of muskets at once.

As if he had grasped Li Erzhan's thoughts, Xu Xingxia said very kindly: "Lord Li, if your country's silver is insufficient, it doesn't matter, our white-clothed army provides long-term credit. You can take the muskets back first, and then slowly raise the money. ”

Li Erzhan's eyes lit up suddenly, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and said urgently: "Is this true? That's great! What do I need as collateral? ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "You don't need anything to mortgage, as long as you write it clearly in black and white." As for the interest, it is calculated according to the lowest level. Actually, it doesn't matter if your country doesn't pay interest. Master Li, as I said, our white-clothed army has always done business at a fair price, and the children are not bullied. ”

Mao Wenlong secretly admires that the boss is the boss, and he has the confidence to speak!

With the strength of the white-clothed army, where is the need for any mortgage? It's better if you find an excuse to cheat and not pay back, and we will directly send troops to land, directly take over your entire country, and directly control everything in the hands of the white army. This, of course, is the most extreme case. Xu Xingxia is not worried at all, North Korea will have the courage to repay the debt, unless they don't want to mix.

However, Mao Wenlong was still a little worried, so many Yue Yue guns were sold to the North Koreans, which would definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the North Koreans. Moreover, after these moon guns are in the hands of others, they may be lost to the hands of other forces. You must know that the North Koreans are also very [***] inside. For the sake of white money, all kinds of things can be done. What is the point of reselling part of the moon gun to others at a high price?

Xu Xingxia was not worried at all. Weapons like the Moon Gun are always going to be replaced by new types of weapons. With the advent of Han-style rifles, a large number of Yueyue guns originally equipped by the white-clothed army will be eliminated, and if you don't find a suitable way out, it's really troublesome! The so-called re-furnace destruction actually requires a cost. One makes money, the other loses money, and the contrast is huge. As long as it can be sold, Xu Xingxia will of course actively promote it. A moon gun can earn twenty-seven taels of silver, and if it is sold for one million, he Xu Xingxia will not be short of money.

It is said that the profits of the arms business are higher than those of drugs, and Xu Xingxia is now deeply aware of it. After tasting the sweetness from King Fu, he was determined to promote the moon gun to the world as the fist product of the White Army. King Fu's army is about to be equipped with the Yueyue Gun, and the army of the Koreans will also be equipped with the Yueyue Gun, and as time goes by, there will definitely be more other forces equipped with this epoch-making high-power weapon.

The lethal effect of the Moon Gun is much more powerful than that of ordinary muskets. With the widespread equipment of the Moon Gun, the casualties in battle will definitely continue to rise. It is said that in the Warring States Period, a thousand people died in a battle, which was already a great thing. However, after equipping the Yueyue Gun, it is absolutely normal for the two armies to shoot at each other, and 35,000 or even 10,000 people will die in a single battle.

The village chief fights, that's also a fight, isn't it? Only when the more people die and the deeper the hatred, the better the arms business of the white-clothed army will be sold. The final result of the war was that all the major powers flocked to order muskets from the white-clothed army. And their casualties in the battle will also be more and more large. In other words, the country's population resources will be greatly consumed.

Xu Xingxia has even considered the overseas arms business. The power of the Westerners' muskets is not as good as the moon guns. He wants to sell a large number of moon guns to the South Seas, to India, to Africa, and to Europe. The competition between the Western powers has always been fierce, but it is a pity that there is no lethal weapon, which consumes a large number of people within them. The moon is just enough to meet this need. After equipping the moon gun, the English longbows, the French cuirassiers, and the Gustav phalanx were all scum.

The European battlefield, fighting back and forth, looks fierce, but in fact the casualties are very small. It's all because the weapons are not powerful. Queue up to shoot, you must be at a short distance in order to achieve a lethal effect. After a battle, one or two thousand people died in one battle, which is already a big battle. However, by the time of World War I, the weapons were powerful, and the casualties immediately increased. In the Battle of the Somme, tens of thousands of people were killed in one day. The blood of the Europeans is almost gone.

Xu Xingxia has to find a way to make European countries, from now on, continue to bleed. The more their people bleed, the more beneficial it would be for Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia also has a dirty idea, that is, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries, don't they fight to the death and seize colonies everywhere? Let the moon make the way for you! The more wealth you grab, the more loot the White Army will capture after they clean you up.

Of course, it is also very necessary to equip those forces that are friendly with the White Army with some moon guns for free. For example, the Chinese in the Nanyang region. As long as they are willing to accept it, Xu Xingxia can give them a batch of Yueyue Guns to enhance their combat effectiveness and give them a better foothold in the Nanyang region. In other words, there are Chinese people on all the islands in the South Seas. This is very beneficial to the advance of the white-coated army and navy in the future.

…… Sure enough, when he heard that he could buy a large number of firearms from the white-clothed army without any mortgage, Li Erzhan's heart immediately became active. The North Korean side was in urgent need of weapons, and he did not hesitate to increase the number of orders for 30,000 pieces. As a result, the DPRK side bought 40,000 moon guns, plus supporting ammunition, with a total value of more than 1.8 million taels of silver. North Korea will pay 300,000 taels in the first stage, and the rest will be paid in ten years.

Xu Xingxia promised that all weapons and equipment would be delivered to the North Koreans within three months. This made Li Erzhan feel even more satisfied. In order to show his sincerity, Li Erzhan also promised that the first batch of payments would be delivered to the white army within a month. At that time, he will also represent the Kingdom of Korea and give Xu Xingxia some mysterious gifts. Now, of course, if you say it, it's not a mystery.
