Chapter 293 Volume 3: A thousand calculations are not as beneficial as one benefit

what are you saying?

King Subi was dumbfounded!

He guessed that Li Chengqian must have something up his sleeve, but he never thought that Li Chengqian actually had this idea!

In this case, it makes sense for Li Chengqian to let him go.

Because the Ming court was short of food, they wanted to exchange weapons for food.

But where can it be more beneficial to rob it yourself than to let others do it?

Moreover, Supi and Tubo are feuding. Let alone the Ming Dynasty’s weapons, even if they don’t have Ming Dynasty’s weapons, will this war not be fought?

Judging from Li Chengqian's plan to sell ordnance, we can also judge that the Ming court is indeed short of food.

After all, this is ordnance. Not to mention that they were still fighting to the death not long ago. From a geopolitical point of view, the Ming Dynasty will not sell ordnance to them unless it is absolutely necessary. They can send troops north at any time.

The place.

These are all very revealing.

Is it worth cooperating with?

It’s definitely worth it!

What situation are they in now? Do they still have a choice?

But he still had some doubts, so he immediately asked: "Isn't King Ming afraid that I will fight back in the future?"

Everyone said that the Han people were cunning, but he didn't believe that Li Chengqian wasn't worried about this at all.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled and said: "Liu San, bring the repeating crossbows and arrows that the general prepared before, and let King Su Pi have a look."

Liu San and others were also a little surprised. King Subi was right. If they were equipped with the Ming Dynasty's equipment, they would indeed be able to strike back. This had to be guarded against.

But since Li Chengqian said so, he had no choice but to do it now.

After a while, Liu San brought several repeating crossbows and a dozen arrows.

Li Chengqian casually took a repeating crossbow and a clip of arrows and said: "After all, this thing was made by the Ming Dynasty. King Subi, please look at this clip of ten arrows. It is very convenient to load. It can be loaded at once."

After that, there will be no more unnecessary operations.”

After speaking, Li Chengqian pointed at the pillar on the side and shot nine arrows in a row.

It was only then that everyone discovered that there was another arrow on the arrow clip, but Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Does King Subi know what this arrow is used for?"

Shaking his head, King Subi was also a little curious.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "This arrow is numbered. Of course, each arrow in the arrow clip has a number. From the beginning, there is no cap.

In fact, the tenth arrow on each arrow clip cannot be shot. This is what the generals in the prison of the Ming Dynasty called the ten arrows.

If you, Su Bi, need to buy arrow clips from Daming in the future, there is a fixed quota. A total of ten arrows is the quota for one arrow clip.

For example, this time, Su Pi, you, bought 10,000 arrows from the Ming Dynasty. Then the next time Su Pi wants to buy another 10,000 arrows, he must bring a thousand arrows with him.

Do you understand what I said?"

King Su Pi understands. This is indeed easy to understand. To put it bluntly, Li Chengqian has explicitly restricted you, Su Pi, from secretly hoarding weapons. The crossbow doesn't matter. After all, there are no arrows, and the crossbow in his hand is not as useful as a fire stick.

But the question is, can’t I make my own arrows?

We don’t know how to use a repeating crossbow, that’s fine, but we don’t know how to use arrows?

After talking for a long time, isn't this just like taking off your pants and farting? It's unnecessary.

Even Liu San and others on the side looked puzzled.

Li Chengqian had long known that everyone would have this idea, so he took an arrow clip from Liu San's hand and handed it directly to King Su Pi, saying, "How about you take it apart and try? If you take it apart, you can still install it."

Go back, and the weapons I brought this time will be given to you for free. The craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty Royal Court is unparalleled in the world, but it is definitely not something that just anyone can understand."

Regarding this, Li Chengqian was extremely confident.

In order to fix ten arrows on an arrow clip, he combined what later generations learned, so that he could ensure that he could reload at one time and fire several arrows in a row.

Speaking of which, it is actually simple as long as you master the principles. To put it simply, it is not difficult for those who can master it, but it is difficult for those who cannot.

Moreover, in order to prevent others from learning the principle after dismantling it, Li Chengqian also added some other details that seemed useful but were actually useless to confuse everyone.

In addition, whether it is disassembled or installed on a repeating crossbow, the operating principle of the arrow clip is based on the self-destruct mode. As long as one arrow is disassembled, the entire ten arrows except the top one will automatically detach.

No, King Subi took an arrow clip and looked at it curiously. After a while, he thought he had mastered the trick. After removing one arrow, the remaining eight arrows fell down.

.

When he picked up the arrows again and wanted to assemble them into their original appearance, he was dumbfounded. It was obviously very simple, but he couldn't find the trick to get started.

When Liu San saw this, he also looked at the arrow in his hand curiously. Is it really so difficult?

On the side, Yuchi Baolin and Murong Wanqiu were also curious.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "If you want to try it, just try it yourself. If any of you can put it back on your own, I will reward you greatly."

If such a person exists, he must be a genius.

Hearing what he said, everyone got excited, and they all tried it one by one with arrow clips.

King Su Pi was also paying attention to their movements, but Li Chengqian didn't care at all.

What is lacking in this era is actually not technology, but the inability to keep up with thinking.

To put it bluntly, creativity is not enough.

Of course, this is also related to policy. The status of craftsmen cannot be improved, which is the result.

The idea that reading is the only way to be good at everything is inferior has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who among those who have some ambitions doesn’t know that reading is the only way out if they want to make a fortune?

"No more, I want to eat meat, and I have to ask where the meat comes from." Yuchi Baolin fiddled with it for a while and then he didn't want to fiddle with it anymore. With his rough hands and feet, he was not qualified to do this.

When Liu San heard this, he immediately spread his hands and said, "What you said makes sense. I won't do it anymore."

When King Subi saw this, he immediately smiled and said: "As expected of King Ming, he is more thoughtful."

At this point, he was convinced.

Now that things are like this, what else can he say?

But this makes him feel more at ease. If Li Chengqian has no means to restrict him, he will not be at ease. After all, he and Li Chengqian are not familiar with each other.

"You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "King Subi must also understand my difficulties."

"That's natural." King Subi smiled and said, "I have thought about it just now. Supi and Daming do have the basis for an alliance."

No matter what the foundation is, even if there is no foundation now, he can make up a foundation. To put it bluntly, he wants the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chengqian did not expose him, but smiled and said: "The alliance is not urgent, but if King Subi accepts my previous proposal, then in order to show my sincerity, I will definitely go beyond the arms."

"Oh?" King Subi was delighted and asked, "I wonder what kind of arrangements King Ming has."

Li Chengqian said: "After King Subi got the weapons, is he going to plan a counterattack against Tibet?"

"This is natural." Regarding this point, King Subi had nothing to hide.

"Since we want to fight back against Tibet, won't the domestic female family members become a burden? If King Subi can trust me, just send the female family members to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, you will have no worries, don't you think so?" After that,

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously.

When King Subi heard this, he also laughed.

If anyone else had heard this, they would have definitely thought that Li Chengqian had bad intentions, but for King Subi, this had definitely done him a big favor.

Why?

Supi is a matriarchal clan!

Although he temporarily regards himself as King Subi, there are still many women in power in the country. In the final analysis, he, King Subi, cannot completely control Subi.

But as soon as Li Chengqian said this, he had an idea. He would find an excuse to send those female relatives to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengqian would naturally help him take good care of these female relatives. This would definitely be beneficial to his complete control of Su Pi. Li Chengqian

This move even helped him a big favor.

"If that's the case, then I really need to thank His Highness King Ming." King Subi said solemnly.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Everyone gets what they need. King Su Pi doesn't have to be polite."

For him, this is also a good thing, and there are many places he can use it.

"By the way, in a war, casualties are inevitable. If King Subi can trust him, if there are serious injuries that are difficult to treat, he might as well send them to the Ming Dynasty Palace. If nothing else, I, the Ming Dynasty Palace, am the only one who can cure external injuries. That is no one else."

Comparable." Li Chengqian added.

When King Subi heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "It's true that it's troublesome for King Ming."

The two discussed for a while, and then King Subi stood up and said, "I will take my leave first. After returning to the military camp to understand some of the situation, I will come back to discuss with King Ming."

"Liu San." Li Chengqian said casually, "Send someone to escort King Subi out of the city."
