Chapter 764: Prince Jin
Thank you Dong Xiaoxian for your reward!
Xiao Sanyuan Erlang agreed, hoping that a servant beside him would go down to get a sample of the armor sent by the officials of the Wei State.
A moment later, the servant returned to the hall with a folded suit of armor and a ring knife, knelt down, and held the tray high above his head with both hands.
Himiko immediately walked up to the servant, picked up the ring knife on the tray, and eagerly drew it, Himiko danced a few times, and couldn't help but admire: "This sword is much better than the sword we forged ourselves!" ”
At this time, Fusang's steel casting technology and knife casting technology were still far behind the Central Plains, and the imitation Han ring knife they cast was much shorter than the real ring knife due to the problem of technology, and their knife was far inferior to the ring knife of the Central Plains in terms of feel, slashing effect, etc., not to mention compared with the barrier knife that was not yet widely equipped in the Wei army.
"Your Majesty, the Han people don't call this a sword!" Little Sanyuan Erlang said.
Himiko couldn't help but ask in surprise, "If it's not called a sword, what is it called?" ”
"The Han people call the single-edged sword, and the double-edged is called the sword!"
Himiko showed a sudden expression, and couldn't help but stroke the ring-headed knife in his hand, and asked Komimoto Jiro with some excitement, "If our army is equipped with such a knife, do you think we can turn the tide of the war?" ”
Xiao Sanyuan Erlang thought for a moment, but shook his head, "Queen, even if our army is equipped with such a knife, I am afraid that it can only stabilize the current front!" The kind of chariot used by the rebels in the north is terrible! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Sanyuan Erlang's face couldn't help but show a trace of fear, for Xiao Sanyuan Erlang, who was born in the plain country of Yamatai. The chariot, which was pulled by four groups of war horses, ran like the earth shook the mountains. It's really not something that human beings can resist.
Of course, the power of this chariot. Part of it is also the light of China, and Xiao Sanyuan Erlang is still very in awe of this weapon that has swept all directions in China.
Himihu frowned, with a worried look on his face, put the ring knife into the sheath and put it back on the tray, and then picked up the armor on the tray, the armor is obviously in the Central Plains style, mainly divided into three parts: front, back, and shoulder pads, which can protect people's chest, back and shoulders.
However, this armor is leather armor. The effect of defending against arrows is good, but the effect of defensive swords is limited, this armor in the Wei army is mainly equipped with infantry using long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, although this armor is somewhat insufficient, but it is far better than the armor used by the current Fuso soldiers.
Himiko nodded in satisfaction, put the armor back, and motioned for the servants to retreat.
Himihu returned to the main seat and sat down, and asked Xiao Sanyuan Erlang, "What do you think of the price given by the Han people?" ”
Jiro Komimoto replied, "The price is very reasonable, and it can even be said to be very generous!" According to my estimates. The price given by the Han people is only the cost price! ”
Xiao Sanyuan Erlang's opinion is not entirely accurate, of course, the price given by Da Wei is indeed not high, but it is not a cost price.
The batch of equipment that Wei was going to sell to Fusang was actually the surplus materials captured by Cao Cao in the process of unifying the Central Plains. What's more, even if it is produced by the Wei side, the cost is lower than Xiao Sanyuan Erlang's imagination, because the scale of production on the Wei side is beyond Xiao Sanyuan Erlang's imagination.
But then again. Cao Cao's price to Fusang was indeed very low in the arms trade, mainly because Cao Cao wanted Yamatai and the Dog Slave Kingdom to continue to consume.
"How much do we have to pay for 100,000 sets of armor?" Himiko asked again.
Xiao Sanyuan Jiro obviously had a problem with this and replied: "We need a whole year's income!" ”
Himiko pondered for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "The burden is not too heavy!" ”
"Queen, I wonder if it is possible for Great Wei to send troops?" Little Mimoto Jiro asked very hopefully.
Himiko frowned slightly, "I mentioned this before. Emperor Dawei said that the war in the Central Plains was peaceful, and it was not appropriate to send troops for the time being. ”
Xiao Sanyuan Erlang couldn't help but show a look of shock, and thought: "The Wei army has been crisscrossing the western regions of the grassland all these years, and the battle flag is invincible!" If they help us, we will be able to defeat the rebels in the north! ”
Himi laughed and said, "Why do you, a warrior who never convinces people, seem to yearn for the Wei army?" ”
Xiao Sanyuan Erlang hurriedly said: "The minister just admires this army, and has no other meaning." ”
Just then, a servant hurried in.
"Queen, Lord Zhang Xi, the Shangshu of the Great Wei Ministry of Commerce, has arrived!" Servant Servant reports.
Himiko hurriedly got up, "Come out with me!" ”
Although only a merchant was here, Himiko did not dare to slack off.
Just when Himiko and Zhang Xi communicated with Zhang Xi on the details of the specific implementation of the agreement, on the island of Fuso Honshu, thousands of miles away, the Fuso rebels, who had been attacking for nearly half a year, finally broke through the defense line of Akita, Morioka, and Guanya, but the rebels were not happy for long, and then attacked again on the line of Flower Lane, dozens of miles south of Morioka.
A few days after Cao Cao negotiated with him, the envoy of the northern Jin State finally arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, located in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
As soon as Wan Yanliang arrived in Chang'an, he was deeply shocked by the majestic city wall in front of him, although he had been shocked by the northern passes and cities of the Great Wei before.
Wan Yan Liang muttered a few words stupidly, and at this time, the Hun Thousand Cavalry Commander, who was in charge of escorting Wan Yan Liang and his party, called Wan Yan Liang.
Wan Yan Liang came back to his senses, and immediately pressed his right hand to his chest to apologize to the Hun Thousand Cavalry Commander.
The Thousand Cavalry Commander entered Chang'an City from the North City Gate with this huge delegation from the Kingdom of Jin.
As soon as he entered the city, Wan Yanliang was shocked again, in front of him was a straight and wide avenue, rows of houses lined up on both sides of the street, and in the distance there were tall buildings soaring into the sky.
"General, general, then, what is that?" Wan Yan Liang spoke stiff Chinese, pointed to a four-story restaurant not far away, and asked the Hun thousand cavalry commander beside him.
The commander of the Hun Thousand Cavalry glanced at the fussing envoy of the Jin Kingdom in front of him, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he glanced in the direction of his finger and replied: "That's the inn, that is, the place where the travelers live!" ”
Wan Yanliang asked excitedly, "After seeing your emperor later, will I live here?" ”
The Hun Qianqi Commander was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No, you are a state guest, of course you have to live, live in a better place!" ”
The commander of the Hun Thousand Cavalry was about to say that he lived in the post house, but after thinking about it, eighty percent of the earth buns from this wild land didn't know what the post house was, so he simply said that it was a better place. (To be continued.) )
