Chapter 480: Trading
"Congratulations to General Shang for being promoted to Pingzhou Mu, the first player deserves his name!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen said with a smile, who dares to be ashamed to call himself the number one player in front of Yan Huang!"
Chen Mo, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood in front of Shang Ji and congratulated him with a smile. Shang Ji laughed loudly, and squeezed a handful of Yan Huang by the way.
Since Shang Ji was promoted to Liaodong Taishou, Yan Huang took the initiative to remove Chen Mo. It is not known whether surveillance was abandoned or whether surveillance was changed from light to dark.
And this time, Chen Mo came to invite Shang Ji to take the initiative to make a deal!
And Chen Mo was accompanied by several high-level personnel of Yan Huang, for this business negotiation.
In the battle against the Wuhuan people and the subsequent suppression of the Wuhuan rebellion, the Shang army captured more than 1.3 million Wuhuan soldiers.
Most of them were third-order soldiers, and a small number were fourth-order elites.
Shang Ji did not intend to incorporate these Wuhuan people into the army, and the Wuhuan spirit rider that Wuhuan was proud of was worthless in the eyes of Shang Ji.
In terms of cavalry, the Shang Ji army is the pinnacle of the world, whether it is the black armor Xuan cavalry, the silver dragon iron cavalry, the scorching sun cavalry, or the Yan Zhihu cavalry, they are more than one step stronger than the so-called Wuhuan elite cavalry!
In the first battle of Liucheng, Shang Ji confiscated four special training cheats of the Wuhuan Elite Cavalry, but none of them were used.
However, these things are not in the eyes of merchants, but they are extremely good things for other forces.
Except for Shang Ji and Yan Huang, there is no player force in Huaxia District that can pull out more than 100,000 cavalry troops, let alone 1.3 million elite Wuhuan cavalry. Even for Yan Huang, this 1.3 million prisoners of war is a huge resource.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation of the merchants, Yan Huang immediately sent a negotiator to discuss the transaction.
"Mr. Chen, I guess you already know my opinion, right? I wonder what you think? ”
Shang Ji's meaning is very clear, these Wuhuan prisoners of war are only exchanged for not sold, and they are exchanged for Han people in the mainland!
According to the latest census, Pingzhou has a total population of about 64.32 million (not counting Lelang County). With a population of more than 60 million, there was not much population in the heyday of many dynasties in history, but it was pitiful in the beacon fire.
In densely populated areas such as Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili, a county covering an area of less than one-fifth of eastern Liaoning has a population of hundreds of millions, and the population density is dozens of times that of Pingzhou!
And population is the foundation of everything, and this needs not be emphasized!
Taking advantage of the Yellow Turban War, Shang Ji has drawn more than 8 million people from within, but this is not even a drop in the bucket, and Shang Ji now urgently needs the population to fill the desolate land of Pingzhou!
And the reason for finding Yan Huang is because Yan Huang is the only player force that is qualified, capable, and willing to participate in this large-scale population migration.
As for whether the inclusion of Yanhuang in the million-dollar Wuhuan army will leave any hidden dangers, Shang Ji is not worried at all.
If Yan Huang can't put these rootless alien races on the table, then Yan Huang can wipe his neck from top to bottom!
"After our high-level research and decision, we agreed in principle to General Shang's trade plan of 'exchanging population for prisoners of war'." Chen Mo coughed lightly and said slowly: "However, for this specific exchange ratio, we think that further negotiation is needed!" ”
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Shang Ji asked lightly.
Shang Ji had previously offered a third-order prisoner of war for fifteen healthy adult men, or eighteen women, or thirty children under the age of thirteen. Double the fourth order, double it again in the fifth order!
However, Shang Ji knew in his heart that this price was purely a lion's mouth, and Yan Huang would not agree to it no matter what.
"One third-order Wuhuan soldier is exchanged for three adult men, or four women, or six underage children!"
Shang Ji gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Mo with some pain: "Mr. Chen, business is not like this!" You're so hard! ”
directly cut a two-fold fold, although Shang Ji is a lion's big mouth, but Yan Huang's counteroffer is too ruthless!
Chen Mo also scratched his head a little irritably, and said with a wry smile: "General Shang, the collection and relocation of the population will have to pay a big price!" We'll have to negotiate with the Northern Player Forces for the population you're trading with, and it's going to take a lot of effort! ”
Yan Huang's strength in the north is not very strong, and the population in his hands is not large. As Chen Mo said, these populations need to be coordinated and drawn among the northern player forces, and Yan Huang can't go too far, and he must give appropriate compensation. Otherwise, it is easy to cause a backlash from the lord's player base.
You must know that none of the players who can be lords are easy in reality, and one or two Yan Huang can be ignored, but there are too many Yan Huang to eat.
Shang Ji turned a deaf ear to Chen Mo's complaints, if it weren't for Yan Huang's ability to coordinate and mobilize, why would Shang Ji trade with them? Wuhuan prisoners of war are in short supply, and they don't worry about selling them at all.
"Well, I'll take a step back. I will return all the weapons and armor of all the Wuhuan soldiers, and even attach a war horse, how about you increase the exchange ratio to ten adult men, or twelve women, or twenty children of the third-order warriors? ”
After a pause, Shang Ji said in a demagogic tone: "These prisoners of war can immediately turn into elite warriors with a little rectification, and more than a million Wuhuan cavalry have penetrated deep into the Western Regions, which will definitely help you gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions!" ”
Chen Mo's expression tightened when he heard this, and he glanced at several Yanhuang representatives who had been silent, and one of the representatives quickly turned into a weakness, obviously going offline to report to the real boss.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Shang Ji's mouth, knowing that this business was basically stable!
The equipment and armor of the Wuhuan Army are purely chicken ribs for Shang Ji, and Shang Ji doesn't look down on that kind of low-grade goods at all. And war horses, now Liaodong is the most indispensable war horse.
The war horses under Shang Ji's name are enough to equip all the soldiers under his command with two, and there are some more.
Nowadays, the regular cavalry in the Shang army also uses medium-grade war horses for the most time, and a large number of low-grade war horses and horses are used to pull goods, transport materials and even plough land! Exchanging war horses for population, it doesn't seem to be a loss!
Half a month ago, Bo Cai, the former commander of the Yellow Turban Army in the south, was appointed as the protector of the Western Regions, and at the same time, a large number of backbone battles of the Yellow Turban Army, such as Chu Yan, Guan Hai, He Man, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua, will be transferred to the Western Regions.
There are also 500,000 yellow turban elites who have passed with them.
After the Battle of the Yellow Turbans subsided, Zhang Jiao may have also realized the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army's insufficient combat strength, and wantonly removed the soldiers who were not strong in combat. The Yellow Turban Army, which originally exceeded 30 million, was carefully selected in the end, leaving less than one-tenth.
Today's Yellow Turban Army only retains three million troops, but its combat power is at the lowest level of the fourth order, which is completely on par with the previous imperial court northern army.
And among the large number of officials in the Western Regions, there is a player who has never been heard of by others who has been appointed as the captain of Wuji, and he listens to orders under the Bocai account!
Just when the majority of players were speculating about the origin of this Wuji captain named Wang Zhenglin, a large number of players with a strong military style joined Wang Zhenglin, and Yan Huang also sent a large number of manpower and material resources to support Wang Zhenglin, making Wang Zhenglin quickly become a giant.
The truth is revealed, Wang Zhenlin is one of Yan Huang's backers!
Compared with the layout of Yanhuang in the world, the Shang Ji trapped in Liaodong is undoubtedly much worse in terms of pattern.
The Western Regions is so big, with an army of less than 50,000, it is simply not enough to control the overall situation, and even with the 500,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible to completely control the situation.
And Yan Huang is limited by strength, and it is impossible to allocate a large number of troops to Wang Zhenglin to command.
However, once there were 1.3 million Wuhuan cavalry, the situation was completely different. With 50,000 combat players as the core to control the Wuhuan cavalry, with 500,000 Yellow Turban elites, it is also a terrifying force that destroys cities and destroys countries in the Western Regions!
Shang Ji also saw the opportunity and boldly put forward this suggestion.
Moments later, the player who went offline went online again. A few people confessed to Shang Ji and went to the side hall, and after a while, the few people who had finished the discussion returned to Shang Ji again.
"General Shang, after a meeting and discussion, I agreed to your proposal. The exchange price is as you say, but we need to be fast and ensure that the more than one million Wuhuan troops can be put into battle in the shortest possible time! ”
Shang Ji smiled when he heard this, and said happily: "The speed of the transaction depends on you, and I will give you prisoners of war as many people as you get, so please work hard!" ”
