"Siege vehicles, ladders, bed crossbows......" Liu Che muttered in his heart: "Are the Huns crazy?" ”

These things, naturally, are good things.

But the crux of the matter is: siege engines and ladders or something.

The bed crossbow, even if it were given to them, would they use it?

Oh, probably yes.

Because there were many Chinese deserters and surrenderers in the service of the Huns.

But the question is, once it is broken, will the Huns fix it?

You know, the bed crossbow is now one of the most sophisticated killing weapons in China.

Not to mention the Huns, in China, this kind of sharp weapon is broken, and it also needs to be repaired by Shaofu.

What's more important is: if these things were sold to the Huns, in case the Huns attacked the Great Wall with them in the future, wouldn't Liu Che lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?

But think again.

Liu Che felt that it was no big deal.

Siege vehicles, ladders, bed crossbows, chain mail and sword halberds, these equipment in the past, maybe the Han family said that it would not be sold out.

But now, most of these equipment are going to be obsolete.

Now, the arsenals of various places are full of all kinds of weapons that have been eliminated.

Some of these weapons will be handed over to the local county soldiers and the militia in the local kiosks for training.

But the rest can only be melted back into the furnace and cast into utensils!

And this is undoubtedly a waste!

Because, these old-style weapons are actually the weapons of grandparents and fathers.

Many weapons were made by manufacturers that can even be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.

Most of them are bronze products.

The Han army began to develop towards all-iron.

At present, except for the bronze crossbow machine, which has reached its peak and cannot be compared with iron tools for the time being, all other bronze weapons will be in the next two years. All retired from active service.

The total number of standing field regiments of the Han army alone was almost one million.

Counting the county soldiers of the local counties, there are at least two million.

With such a huge army, the weapons that have been eliminated are absolutely astronomical.

Keep them, waste space, and spend money on maintenance. It's a pity to recast it.

After all, it took real money to make them back then.

Moreover, they are not unusable.

In the future, if something happens, pull it out of the warehouse and send it to the militia, and immediately arm hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops.

This is the so-called chicken ribs, which are tasteless. It's a pity to abandon it.

If it can be recycled and sold to the Huns, it would be good.

Don't say anything, the Huns are enemies, you can't sell such stupid words!

Mi Didu has sold a lot of big toys to Maozi.

As for Tu Chao, even in the years when he lost his temper with Maozi, he also got a MiG-21 back home.

Besides, selling bronze weapons, this kind of thing, strictly speaking. It's not a big deal.

The reason is simple - the Huns themselves were able to produce bronze.

Although the quality is poor and the yield is low. However, he can produce his own after all.

Moreover, the things that the Huns used as bargaining chips were the war horses, slaves, and livestock that China needed now.

War horses and slaves or something, it doesn't matter.

The key is to plough the cow!

Nowadays, there is a shortage of cattle in China.

The number of cultivated cattle registered by the government is added up to the whole country. Less than half a million heads.

Among them, 300,000 are still raised by the government, and the amount of cattle maintained by the people adds up to only 200,000!

So much so that in the Kanto region, there are even human plows - that is, people pull the plow.

This unfavorable situation has been going on for decades.

Although the state has always attached importance to the breeding of cultivated cattle. However, cows are a creature that reproduces very slowly.

It is not a pig, and it can give birth to more than a dozen in one litter.

But the Xiongnu had a large herd of cattle and sheep.

The last time Xia Rouge married, the herd of cattle that accompanied the marriage alone was thousands.

Historically, Huo Qubing robbed millions of cattle, sheep and livestock from the Huns at one time!

If you can use the eliminated bronze weapons, where can you exchange them from the Huns, a sufficient number of ploughing cattle.

For example, 100,000, 200,000.

Then, in the next two or three years, Liu Che can make Sanhe (Hanoi, Henan, and Hedong) realize the full cultivation of cattle, and spend another ten years to popularize the Central Plains ploughing cattle.

In addition, cattle were also an indispensable meat for the Han army's expeditions.

There is no better way to follow the army and supply the army's livestock than a herd.

Since ancient times, large armies have accompanied herds of cattle when they go out to fight.

Historically, the famous story of Xiangao scaring off the Qin division shows that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese army had become accustomed to using cattle as livestock to reward the army.

It is no exaggeration to say that the future demand for cattle in China is not 100,000, nor 500,000, but most likely millions, or even millions!

To colonize India, at the very least, China must have a herd of five million cattle.

To fight a war, you must not only fight for the army, equipment, and tactics, but also fight for logistics!

Not to mention, war horses and slaves were also used as trade goods.

War horses, Liu Che will never be too little.

However, the Huns should not sell much.

It is possible to fill up with a large number of inferior horses.

But a bad horse is a bad horse!

At the very least, it is also a horse, which can also take on the task of transportation and farming.

As for slave labor......

Now, Liu Che just wants to say - as much as you want.

Ten thousand is not too little, and one million is not too much.

The Yellow River, the Yangtze River, roads, bridges, and canals all require a large amount of labor.

In addition, mining and smelting, as well as textiles, these industries need cheap labor as a booster.

Back then, the Koreans once thought of using Zheng Guoqu to drag down the Qin State.

As a result, it was indeed dragging the Qin State.

But it did not collapse, after the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, the national strength of the Qin State quickly became stronger, and soon destroyed Korea.

In Liu Che's opinion, this plan of the Huns is similar to what the Koreans thought back then.

Stabilize China with the trade of livestock and slaves.

After they move westward and increase their strength, they will turn back to confront China.

At the very least, you can be invincible.

Their abacus is very good.

It should probably be the livestock, population, cattle and sheep stolen from Wusun, the Western Regions, and the future Dawan. Come and buy the weapons of the Han Dynasty, and then use the weapons of the Han Dynasty to continue to grab more people, livestock and land.

In this way, the Huns would not have problems with war.

Moreover, because of Chinese weapons. In particular, the siege equipment is the strongest in the world.

With these, the Huns did not need to take their lives to fill the fortress of Dawan.

Dawan, until Great Xia, the small countries and city-states along the way, of course, could not block the Xiongnu soldiers!

Great idea!

But in Liu Che's opinion, this matter is better for the Han family!

This is equivalent to Liu Che using a bunch of obsolete weapons and hiring a super thug. Go and help yourself grab livestock and labor.

"Originally, I wouldn't have sold weapons to anyone!" Liu Che said yes: "This is not that I am stingy, or narrow-minded, in fact, the first king has a teaching: the soldier is also a murder weapon, and the saint has to stop, and the first king is not a soldier, not for killing." And for the prohibition of violence and the suppression of evil! ”

"But considering the relationship between you and me, I will make an exception to grant your request!" Liu Che turned his head to Shaofu Liu She and said, "Shaofu." It's up to Qing to take care of this! ”

Liu She immediately came out of the queue and happily bowed: "No! ”

Huns!

This is a big dog!

Of course, not because they have gold and copper coins, but they have livestock!

Cows, horses and slaves!

Now, a horse in Guanzhong is worth nearly six thousand, and a bullock. It's worth about 10,000.

The big slave is fifteen thousand, and the small slave is two six thousand dollars.

So, although these are not gold, they are similar to gold.

For Shaofu, the resources in his own small treasury. Of course, the more the merrier.

It is precisely because of the massive resources that Shaofu can have today's status!

As for selling weapons to the Huns, will there be a problem?

That's not something he, the young man, has to think about.

It's a matter for the prime minister and the generals to consider.

"Messenger, go and talk to Shaofu!" Liu Che said with a smile.

And the canal and the carving are difficult to hear, and the words are very happy.

The weapons and utensils of the Han Dynasty, in the grasslands, were also hard currency.

Many Xiao Wangs and the chiefs of the tribe even only have one or two Han Dynasty weapons, and that's it, they are all precious, there are no hundred and eighty cattle and sheep and dozens of slaves, don't even think about it!

Now, he opened the channel for the introduction of weapons from the Han Dynasty.

What does this mean?

He couldn't know better!

From then on, I thought that he was no longer a low-status and insignificant little person.

As long as this trade channel exists, there will be countless people who will slap him and kneel and lick him, hoping that he will tilt the quota of Han Dynasty weapons towards himself.

The other members of the mission who accompanied him were also elated and celebrated as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Originally, many people thought that this was an impossible task.

Just as the Xiongnu never refused to provide war horses to the Han Dynasty in the past, the Han Dynasty has always strictly controlled all metals and flowed into the Xiongnu.

In the past, in the city on the border, for a batch of bronze ingots of the Han Dynasty, the various tribes of the Xiongnu could play dog brains, and even directly stage a life-and-death duel!

But now, the opening of this channel has made such a situation a thing of the past.

The Xiongnu could get bronze and even iron tools from the Han Dynasty in large quantities.

This merit alone is enough for the mission to return to China, be promoted to become wealthy, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Moreover, it is certain that the matter of negotiating and negotiating with the Han Dynasty in the future will still be them.

Not why.

If you don't appoint these heroes who have successfully opened up this channel to deal with this matter, do you want to send a stunned young man over?

In case this stunned young man is ignorant and evils the people of the Han Dynasty, you are responsible?

Thus, from this moment on, the entire mission, regardless of whether it was high or low or tribal faction, became a 'pro-Han faction' and a 'good friend of the Han people'.

The kind in the truest sense of the word.

From today onwards, each of them will do whatever it takes to maintain the friendship between Han and Hungary.

It may even appear, even if the Han Dynasty is sharpening its knives.

But they still jumped up and down in the court, saying: This is all false and fictional, Han and Hungary are friendly, how can there be a problem?

Even if the facts are laid out in front of them, they will probably say: The emperor of the Han Dynasty definitely did not mean that, it must be the problem of the people below.

Han and Hungarian are generally good.

Even if the Han army marched into the territory of the Xiongnu, they would probably struggle and say: It must be the people below who provoked and annoyed the Han Dynasty, please kill those who annoyed the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty will definitely retreat!

It's not impossible for something like this to happen.

Because, in the history of mankind, especially in the history of China, this situation has happened countless times.

Why did the enemy invade?

It must be the reason why we are not kneeling well enough and our posture is not correct.

Once a certain group has some kind of entanglement of interests with outsiders or hostile forces.

The selfishness of human nature will drive them to be shameless, to reverse black and white, and even to refer to the deer as a horse.

The kneeling office of the Tu Dynasty, the X Sect Committee, and the white left of the West.

Isn't that what it looks like?

For some guys, the facts don't matter, the nature of the problem doesn't matter, and it doesn't even matter if you're slapped in the face.

As long as they can keep their privileges and the political significance of their existence.

They're going to do whatever it takes.

In this regard, Liu Che is quite looking forward to it.

Bureaucrats or magnates, no matter what system you have, will definitely exist.

Even, the more backward and closed the environment, the more serious such a problem becomes.

As long as man is still selfish, it is impossible to eliminate the problem of bureaucracy and magnates.

………………………………………………

It is difficult to send it away and to carve it.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and the generals couldn't hold back any longer.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rashly export weapons to the Huns......," a general said euphemistically.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty's order is against the ancestral system, please forgive the minister for not being able to obey the edict!" Zhou Yafu said it more bluntly.

On this issue, Zhou Yafu felt that he had to make a clear position.

Even if you fight with the Son of Heaven for this reason, you will not hesitate!

"Prime Minister!" Liu Che said with a smile: "Generals, ministers, I know your worries very well! ”

"I also know that this is a plot with a tiger!"

"Then why is Your Majesty so?" Zhou Yafu didn't quite understand it.

If the Huns get Chinese weapons, the Great Wall will be a security hazard in the future.

"I sold siege engines, ladders and bed crossbows to the Huns, do you think the Huns will be able to threaten the Great Wall from now on?" Liu Che scoffed at this: "The northern captives have always been famous for their light cavalry advances, and their cavalry comes and goes like the wind!" ”

"Therefore, the Chinese soldiers can win, but they cannot annihilate them!"

"If they bring heavy ballistas and ladders, can they still come and go like the wind?" Liu Che asked.

In Liu Che's view, the Huns dug their own pits and buried themselves.

Obviously, the whole country is a light cavalry, so you should make good use of your advantages.

Learn who is not good, learn from the previous Han army.

Liu Che really wanted to see how the Hun army, with so many weapons, could move freely in the Great Wall again!

More critically......

"And husband, Master Wang is stronger today than one day, today is one point stronger than yesterday, and tomorrow is one point stronger than today!"

"The Huns are slaves of livestock, and they help me change clothes!"

"Besides, ......" Liu Che said to Zhou Yafu: "Doesn't the prime minister know that the arsenal of the county is already full of all kinds of bronze weapons at this moment?" ”

"If you want to melt down and reforge these weapons, I remember that the Prime Minister's Mansion reported that it would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars and more than 100,000 manpower!" Liu Che said to Zhou Yafu: "Now, it doesn't cost a penny, you don't need to move half a cent of the treasury, and you can exchange these weapons for cattle and horse slave labor, the prime minister thinks, how about this deal?" (To be continued.) )

PS: Today's 12000+ has been changed, begging for a monthly pass, and today it was a tragic chrysanthemum, so pitiful~~~~~~~~

Plus, it's been 8 days this month!

I've also changed it to about 7w5000~

This is still established in the case of two days of malaise~

Such a diligent and hard-working author, in my opinion, deserves a monthly pass, encouragement.

It even deserves the encouragement of an alliance leader
