Chapter 627: Summation
Tens of thousands of sets of ordnance, Li Jing was not very willing to sell them to the Khitans.
However, if the Khitan civil strife continues, then Li Jing must also give some substantial support to the Khitans. Otherwise, if the Khan of Hinde is defeated, the Diera Department will regain control of the actual control of the Khitan, which will be very bad news for Li Jing.
It is necessary to let the Khan of Hind change the current decline of repeated defeats, and the Khan of Hinde has held on, and for Li Jing, it is better than tens of thousands of soldiers.
Li Jing had already agreed to sell these weapons to the Khan of Hind, but even in his heart he believed the importance of the Khan of Hind as an ally. But Li Jing will never do a loss-making business, and it is impossible to give them a large amount of ordnance for nothing.
The ordnance that costs one million has a factory price of 1.5 million, and Li Rang opens his mouth to 2 million, and Li Jing doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. Even if they are brothers, they have to settle accounts, not to mention that the other party is still a Khitan.
The corners of his mouth twitched when he heard that the price of this batch of ordnance had risen by thirty percent all of a sudden.
Two million guan is not a small number, and the transaction between the grassland and the Central Plains has always been barter. What the Khan could trade was war horses, cattle, sheepskins, hair, herbs, minerals and other things, but after the war, the Khan did not have much money.
Yaoranbad came and didn't bring anything.
"Honorable county king, the price of two million guan is fair." Harukabad muttered, "But we can't get the money!" ”
Li Rang held a delicate small abacus made of gold and jade beads in his left hand, and with a thunderbolt in his right hand, he said with a smile: "The general said that he was laughing, with the respect of the Khan." Two million is nothing. We are willing to press fifty horses of the highest quality. Forty times an ordinary war horse. The price of ten high-grade cultivated cattle, eight ordinary cultivated cattle and eighty percent of camels were purchased in large quantities of cattle, horses, camels, sheep, donkeys, mules and other livestock. Of course, all kinds of leather goods, herbs and even ores can also be purchased, and the price is negotiable. ”
Yao Ran Bard watched Li Rang holding the rare gadget, looking like he was eating people and not spitting out bones, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
Doing business with the Don people. In particular, doing business with the Zhenguo Army is like seeking skin with a tiger. Li Wei led the caravan on the grassland for two years, and many large and small tribes of the 20 Khitan tribes did business with them, exchanging cattle, sheep, horses, herbs, leather goods, slaves, etc., for some things that could not be hungry and could not be warmed by cold.
"Honorable county king, my Khan has a better proposal." Yaoranbad slowly said his proposal, "In order to strengthen the alliance between the two families, and also to show my Khan's respect for the king of the county. The king of my family is willing to give his most favored daughter, the most beautiful moon on the Khitan steppe. In the month, Meixia married the king of the county. ”
Li Jing smiled slightly, the Khitan Khan actually knew that it was not easy for Lu Dao to use such a method as marriage to obtain Li Jing's support.
However, Li Jing did not have much resistance to this unexpected proposal, and it was just a political marriage, which was not unusual. Even if I don't have a good impression of those Khitan women with unique hairstyles, this is not a relationship, it doesn't matter how Mei herself is that month, what matters is behind the marriage.
"Could it be that the Khan of Hind meant to marry his daughter to this king, and then this batch of weapons of such and such a thing could not be regarded as a courtesy?"
Li Jing's words made Yao Ranbad blush slightly, "Not really, the Khan married his daughter to the county king, and the county king gave this batch of weapons to the khan as a gift." Of course, we will also have a dowry, 3,000 horses, plus 10,000 cattle, and 50,000 sheep. ”
Li Jing shook his head, Li Jing has lost a lot in this business, three thousand war horses together are only 100,000 yuan, and the annual sheep are only 200,000, and the sum is less than 500,000. Li Jing's ordnance is worth two million, and Li Jing doesn't think that a daughter of a Khitan Khan can be worth one and a half million.
"Business is business, marriage is marriage." Li Jing smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to my proposal, in addition to this batch of cattle, horses and sheep, the Khan can take some more cattle and sheep out, or can you use your slaves and prisoners of war to make up for it?" Regardless of age, young and old, men and women, as long as it is human, we want it. How much we have, how much we want. ”
Yao Ran Bard was a little surprised and disappointed, but he didn't expect Li Jing to say this.
"But We Got Married"
"If the general wants to withdraw the proposal of marriage, I don't care. But business is business, you say. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, although Yao Yuan Bud felt that this marriage did not take advantage of it as planned, Li Jing was right. In this alliance, the Khan of Hinder needs the other side more than Li Jing. Especially this batch of ordnance, if you can get this batch of ordnance, then the strength of the distant department and the Oga department will increase greatly.
After the last time, Li Rang was in charge of the specific negotiations, and after some negotiations, an agreement was reached with Yao Ranbad.
Li Jing married the Khan of Hinde and married Yuelimei, the daughter of the Khan of Hinde. At the same time, the Zhenguo Army also reached a deal with the Ministry of Remote Affairs, under which the Ministry of Remote Affairs purchased a batch of ordnance from the Zhenguo Army at a price of 1.5 million yuan, which could be paid in installments, but the installment cost plus the expedited production and the price increase of several precious weapons, as well as the price of transportation, etc., finally reached a total price of 2.5 million yuan. The Khan could pay for it in two years, including horses, horses, cattle, sheep, camels, donkeys, mules, hides, herbs, ores, and even slaves, prisoners of war, etc.
"General Yaoranbad has worked hard this time, so you might as well rest for a few days. In a few days, after the first batch of ordnance is ready, the king will appoint General Li Wei to lead a light cavalry to escort the ordnance back to Khitan with you. After reaching an agreement, Li Jing became more cordial to Bard. Not only brought in a staunch ally, but also slaughtered them once, making a lot of money, Li Jing is in a good mood now. "We are about to launch a large-scale offensive against Liaoxi in solidarity with the Khan. After the general returned to the Khitan, he could tell the Khan that this was a great opportunity to deal with the defeat of the Diera, but don't miss it. ”
The battle of Liaoxi is about to begin, and if you can let the Khan of Hinde send troops to Diera in the Khitan and share part of the Diera troops, it will still be of great help to the Zhenguo army.
Sending Li Wei to escort the first batch of ordnance to the Khitan was also to ask him to bring back the daughter of the Khan of Hinde as soon as possible and complete the marriage as soon as possible. After the marriage, it was even more determined that the Khan of Hind would continue to fight against the Dierabu.
With 1,000 light cavalry and 1,000 light cavalry from Yaoranbad, and 3,000 people, Li Wei escorted the first batch of ordnance from Lulongsai to the north and returned to the Khitan through the Xijing grassland. With these two thousand elite cavalry, Li Jing was not too worried about their safety. After all, Yao Ranbad was the uncle of the Khitan Khan, and Li Wei raised the banner of Anton's capital protector again, except for the Diera Ministry, the other ministries did not dare to provoke them directly. And their route deliberately avoided the range of potential forces of the Diera.
As soon as he sent away the messenger of Trace, Li Jing saw Gao Yu's envoy again.
Gao Duo was replaced by Wang Duo as the commander of the Zhudao camp because of Huang Chao's break in Guangzhou, Wang Duo took up the post of the commander of the Zhudao camp in Jiangling, Jingnan, and transferred the Li family of the Shijiao Li family back to his subordinates from Li Jing, and made Li Zhuo the deputy commander of the subordinate brother Heyang Jiedu of the Li family, and appointed the commander of the southwest camp with the Li department, adding the name of the southeast camp commander to Gao Biao.
It's okay not to add the official position of the commander of the southeast camp, but Gao Biao immediately hated Wang Duo, thinking that Wang Duo gave him his official position, and deliberately gave him the official position of the commander of the southeast camp, which was insulting him.
However, the current situation is stronger than people, the position of the capital has been robbed, and Lu Xiangguo, a staunch ally of the DPRK, has been deposed as prime minister, and Tian Gonggong has not been easy recently.
At the same time, Li Jing was very comfortable.
He detained Li Jing's goods, and Li Jing directly robbed his people. He completely underestimated Li Jing, but he didn't expect Li Jing not only to dare to fight him, but also to be so desperate.
He has the heart to be better than Li Jing's real swords and guns. However, Gao Biao is really powerful on land, neither the party members nor the Nanzhao people are his opponents, but he is thousands of miles away from Li Jing. If you want to fight, you can't reach it, but it is Li Jing's navy, the sea is completely their world, and the fleet he pulled up will be finished in a few clicks.
In the face of Li Jing's coastal raids, although Gao Biao sent troops to garrison along the coast, how many soldiers could he have, and how long was the coast? Every time, Li Jing's navy was always able to find a vacancy, kill them off guard, and then set sail before they arrived, making them stare at the ocean.
In a short period of time, Huainan Town suffered heavy losses, and Gao Biao could no longer sit still.
The navy of the Zhenguo Army has already begun to enter the inland river along the Huai River and the Yangtze River, and took advantage of the opportunity for him to deploy all his troops and horses along the coast to directly attack his cities along the river.
There was no one in the court to control Li Jing, and the battle could only be resolved between them.
But now Gao Biao is already anxious and unable to deal with Li Jing. In the face of Li Jing's fierce retaliation, Gao Biao was powerless to fight back. I wanted to fight, but I couldn't find anyone.
Although Gao Biao didn't want to bow his head, he had no other way to deal with Li Jing now than to bow his head and give in. Even his elder brother, Zhou Bao, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, began to complain about him because Gao Biao provoked a fight with Li Jing, which caused Zhenhai to suffer heavy losses.
On Shanhaiguan City, Li Jing saw Lu Yongzhi again.
Compared with last time, Lu Yongzhi was a little less arrogant and a little more respectful to Li Jing.
"The county king, I am here to resolve the previous misunderstanding between the high servant and the county king." After Lu Yongzhi saluted Li Jing respectfully, he said with a humble smile.
Li Jing snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?" ”
Lu Yongzhi's smile stiffened on his face, "It's the previous seizure of the goods of the merchants in Dengzhou Town." ”
"Is Gao Biao willing to return the goods?" Li Jing asked with a sneer.
"It's all a misunderstanding, peace is precious, and the high servant hopes to resolve the previous misunderstanding with the king of the county, and the two families will rebuild." Lu Yongzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Li Jing's cold attitude made him feel that this trip would not be easy. (To be continued......)
