Li Jing's five provinces and prefectures in the Northeast Province are not all in the Northeast, the earliest Li Jing started in Dengzhou, then according to southern Liaoning, and then turned back to Ziqing, and later got Pingzhou in Hebei. Several territories were scattered around Liaohai, and after taking Liaoxi last year and defeating Goguryeo, Liaodong and Liaoxi were opened up and connected. Daxingtai was established, and the administrative office was also located in Liaoyang City on the bank of the Liao River, and Shandong Province, which is located at the eastern end of Henan, has become an enclave across the sea under Daxingtai.

The four provinces of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Andong and Beiping are connected together, and they can only be connected by sea with Shandong Province. Although the Tohoku Province is now well developed, there are countless passenger ships and merchant ships that come and go every day, which is very convenient. But across the vast sea, there are inconvenient times after all.

The winter ice period of Liaohai in the winter, which lasts from two to three months every year, is the most inconvenient time for the transportation between Shandong Province and the other four provinces of Daxingtai. The three major ports of Dengzhou Port, Duli Port and Shirenwang will freeze, and the estuary of Jishui and the estuary of the Yellow River will also freeze. The only transportation can only rely on the three ice-free ports under the Daxing platform, Laizhou Qingdao Port, Jinzhou Qingni Port, and Qinhuangdao Port in Pingzhou.

Although there are three ice-free ports, the winter routes are extremely inconvenient and the risks increase.

Da Wei Ying knew that the road was difficult to travel on the sea, and the land route in Hebei was blocked by the rebels, so he simply used this as an excuse to stay for a long time. If he can't reach an agreement with Li Jing, how can he be willing to go back. It's a pity that he has never had the opportunity to be summoned by Li Jing alone, he has already heard some news, Li Jing is preparing to lead his army to the Central Plains to reinforce Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. If you can't see Li Jing again, you may not have a chance to do it again in a short time.

In the end, I had to use a stupid method, and I cheekily went to the county palace every day with gifts, and I went for a day. Guarding the Li Mansion. Waiting for Li Jing to come home.

It can be for several days on end. He was so familiar with Li Mansion that he even figured out the names of those stewards, but he didn't even see a single figure of Li Jing.

Da Weiying couldn't close her eyes for a few days and nights, and she wanted to ask Li Jing's whereabouts directly, but she understood that this was also a secret. In the end, Da Yue'er had a little assertiveness, and after discussing with Da Weiying, she knew that the current predicament faced by the Bohai Kingdom would not be able to deal with it. This time, the Bohai Kingdom is really in trouble. When he came back to his senses, he immediately cooked a lot of exquisite meals in person, and went to the Heavenly Wolf Hall in Dengzhou City, although Li Jing now set up the Daxingtai in Liaoyang, but this place is still preserved, as a temporary shogunate when Li Jing was in Dengzhou.

Li Jing, who had been in the Heavenly Wolf Hall for several days to discuss with the General Staff, was a little surprised when he saw Da Yue'er coming. When she saw the meals she had made, she was very happy. Smiled and pulled Jing Xiang and other civil officials and military generals to eat together, Da Yue'er waited in the side room, but he didn't know how to say this. Although she is the princess of the Bohai Kingdom. But now it is Li Jing's seventh lady, and she also knows that Mrs. Lu Daojun has always disliked women in the backyard interfering in outside affairs. In the past, the third lady was reprimanded several times.

Fortunately, after Li Jing finished eating this rare meal, he took the initiative to ask her.

"Is it for the Bohai Kingdom?"

was broken by Li Jing's words, Da Yue'er felt an unspeakable embarrassment, as if she had done a very unbearable thing behind her husband's back and was broken.

Looking at Da Yue'er's swollen red face, as well as the stammering appearance of not knowing how to speak, Li Jing smiled. Da Yue'er came to him for the matter of Bohai, this is nothing, even if it is an ordinary family, if there is something in the mother's family, she will definitely ask her husband for help as soon as possible.

In fact, the affairs of the Bohai Kingdom are also very important to Li Jing, especially when he is going to send troops to the Central Plains now, Li Jing hopes to have a stable neighbor. At this stage, Li Jing's goal in the Northeast is to stabilize himself, and then to fight the Khitan and continue to naturalize Xi and Xi. Bohai was not Li Jing's first goal, and it is not now. It's just that Li Jing has been busy with all kinds of preparations for sending troops these days, and he can't take care of Bohai for a while.

Now that Da Yue'er came forward to mention it, Li Jing smiled and said, "You will talk to the prince later, let him come over and talk in detail." ”

Li Jing did not directly send someone to inform Da Weiying, but asked Da Yue'er to say it, which was also to let Bohai Guo inherit Da Yue'er's love.

Seeing off Da Yue'er, who was full of joy, Li Jing immediately returned to the festival hall.

Bohai did not have many requests, as early as when Da Weiying arrived in Liaodong last year to meet Li Jing, he made a request.

They hoped to reaffirm the original peace treaty with Li Jing and redefine the current border demarcation between the two sides. Second, the Bohai State was ready to submit an arms purchase proposal to Li Jing, which was quite large. Third, the Bohai State also wanted to borrow a force from the Zhenguo army to go to Huaiyuan Mansion and Anyuan Mansion on the border with the Heishui Yan Dynasty to assist in the war.

"There is no problem with the requirements for military procurement, we have started a major change of equipment last year, and now the ordnance that has been replaced is not only partially equipped with the township army, but also a large number of piles in the arsenal, not to mention, our ordnance and armor workshop produces a large number of armor weapons every year, which were originally taken out for sale." Hubu Shangshu and political counselor Li Rang agreed to sell arms to Bohai. Arms trading has always been a major output under Li Jing.

"Although Bohai is not our goal now, in the long run, if we pacify the Khitan, Xi, Xi, Xi, etc., we will eventually fight Bohai. Is it appropriate to sell weapons to them now? As the direct leader of the ordnance workshop, Guo Chengan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the political officer, was a little worried. Although Bohai is not an enemy now, it will still be hostile in the future.

Staff envoy Jing Xiang smiled: "I don't think it matters, Bohai seems to be strong now, but in fact it is weak. They couldn't resist a small black water deer, and the original army of 80,000 was not defeated by us in one fell swoop. At present, we are going to send troops to the Central Plains, and this Bohai country is more stable, which is more beneficial to us than chaos. Besides, it's just some obsolete old weapons, and it won't be too much of a problem to give them away. ”

If the Bohai State is very strong, like the Khitan and Xi people, then it is a threat to Li Jing and others. But with the current situation of the Bohai Sea, everyone is not worried about this. Bohai has long been rotten, and like the Tang Dynasty, it is strong inside and dry in the middle. There are a lot of ordnance in the hands of the Zhenguo army, and the ones captured from the Bohai people, Goguryeo people, and Khitan people are already quite amazing. What's more, Daxingtai himself has just completed the change. There is also a large number of obsolete ordnance.

After Da Weiying heard the news from Da Yue'er that Li Jing wanted to see him. Hurried along the way. Thrilled on the road.

Li Jing looked at Da Weiying, who was sweating fine on his head in the cold weather, and said with a smile on his face: "This time has been very busy, we have been considering the prince's previous request, and we have discussed the result today." ”

Da Weiying stared directly at Li Jing, looking forward to Li Jing's answer.

"First of all, regarding the armament, this king has decided to agree to sell it to Bohai, I don't know how much the prince needs?"

"We want as much as we want." Da Weiying blurted out.

Li Jing smiled, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's tell me an accurate number." I have a lot of ordnance in my hand, at least 200,000 sets in stock, you don't want to eat them all, do you? "At the beginning, the Bohai people were defeated and sent almost 100,000 sets of ordnance to Li Jing, destroying Goguryeo, and there was almost this number before and after, and then beating the Khitan and Lu Long armies, there was a lot of gains, and the armies changed their clothes, plus the production of their own ordnance workshop, Li Jing can now be said to be the largest arms dealer in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Da Weiying couldn't close her mouth when she heard the figure of 200,000 sets. If possible, he would have liked to eat this batch of weapons in one bite, but he also knew it. It's not realistic.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Da Weiying said: "I hope to buy 10,000 sets of iron armor, 20,000 leather armor, 50,000 spears, 50,000 horizontal knives, 50,000 iron helmets, 20,000 bows, 2 million arrows, 10,000 individual crossbows, 1,000 Fuyuan crossbows, and 2 million crossbow arrows." 5,000 iron shields, 10,000 leather shields, and 10,000 sabers. After thinking about it, he added, "I also want to buy three thousand each of the Divine Fire and the Heavenly Fire." ”

Hearing this list, Li Jing smiled.

He shook his head lightly and said, "Are you sure you want all of this?" ”

"Both!"

"Then you should know that although these weapons are not all brand new, they are definitely not cheap."

Hearing this, Da Weiying was immediately stunned, indeed, the ordnance was originally cheap, not to mention that even if it was an old one, since it was bought from Li Jing, it would definitely be more expensive than buying a new one. After all, ordnance is a strategic material, and sometimes, even if you have money, others will not sell it.

"I will only accept you a hundred times for a set of iron armor, sixty times for a set of leather armor, two times for a spear, five times for a horizontal sword, two times for an iron helmet, ten times for a bow, one penny for an arrow, twenty times for a single crossbow, thirty times for a sabre, ten times for a leather shield, twenty times for an iron shield, and three hundred times for a Fuyuan crossbow. Prince, this is for the sake of Da Yue'er's face, the factory price of his own friendship. ”

Just these simple OnePlus, they are already four million. What's more, things like Heavenly Fire and Divine Fire are definitely more expensive.

Four million guan is not a small number for the Bohai Kingdom. Bohai State will definitely be able to come up with this money, how to pay for it.

Li Jing smiled at Da Weiying and said: "Actually, we are all a family, so let's do it, these four million ordnance, plus the heavenly fire and divine fire worth one million guan that I will give you, together it is five million guan, and I won't charge you any money." ”

Hearing the words "not collecting money", Da Weiying didn't believe it.

Sure enough, Li Jing smiled again and said, "In addition, I can also send a total of 10,000 horses from the Korean army and the Goguryeo army under my command to support you in the fight against the Heishui Ministry, how about it?" ”

There is no such thing as pie in vain in the sky, and Da Weiying is not stupid. Li Jing won't really be so generous, he doesn't have such a big face.

"And what do you need us to get in return?"

Li Jing cordially took Da Weiying's hand and walked to the side, where there was a large map spread out.

"What we mean is that these five million pieces of ordnance do not cost money, but that we will not accept your money for the time being, and you can deliver them in installments. We also don't want gold and silver, and the Bohai Kingdom can pay for this ordnance in three years in the future, with slaves, cattle and horses and other materials as payment. Of course, with such a large sum of money, we also have to collect some deposits. I thought about it, and the Bohai State ceded the two prefectures of Yalu and Nanhai to us. ”

Li Jing said with a slight smile, as if he was saying something insignificant.

Da Weiying looked at the map, and was stunned, Yalu Mansion had been cut off by Li Jing to Hengzhou and other places, and more than half of it was removed. Now Li Jing's intention is to cede the Yalu Mansion and the Nanhai Mansion to Li Jing. In this way, both sides of the Yalu River have completely become Li Jing's.

"Brother, these ordnance are very scarce, a few days ago, the Blackwater Ministry sent someone to buy ordnance from us, but they offered a very high price."

Da Weiying was shocked.

Li Jing continued, "Besides, we are very sincere, not only did we refuse the Black Water Ministry, but now we have taken out such a large number of ordnance and given you 10,000 soldiers and horses to support. Think about it, if you defeat the Black Water Ministry, it is estimated that most of the Bohai Sea will not be protected. And with the support of our armaments and soldiers, defeating Bohai is not a problem, and maybe, you can take the opportunity to enter the Black Water Department and conquer them in one fell swoop. Do the math, which one results better? ”

"It's too important for me to decide?" Da Weiying said with difficulty.

"Your Royal Highness, when you came, it seems that the King of Bohai gave you full power. Besides, the Bohai Kingdom can't afford to wait now. You don't want to wait for half a day of tossing back and forth, after you get our weapons and horses to support, the Blackwater Department has already entered the Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, right? ”

After hesitating for a long time, the prince of Bohai bargained with Li Jing again, and Li Jing added a lot of armaments, and finally the two sides finally reached an agreement and made this extremely amazing deal.

Li Jing took out 6 million guan worth of ordnance to the Bohai State, and sent 10,000 troops of the Korean Army and the Goguryeo Army under his command to support the Bohai State. The Bohai State promised to repay the loan in batches with slaves, prisoners of war, cattle and horses and other materials and minerals within the next three years, and ceded the two prefectures of Yalu Mansion and Nanhai Mansion to Li Jing.
