Chapter 315 Volume 4: Stirring up wind and rain to induce profit.

Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian is discussing with Qibi Heli, Wu An, Pu Xiruo and Li Qinjian the feasibility of selling a generation of repeated crossbows to Tuyuhun.

Ever since Brother Zhang Wu sent this idea back, Li Chengqian has been thinking about it.

There is no problem in selling it to Supi, because Supi's biggest enemy is Tubo.

In terms of overall strength, Supi cannot keep up with Tubo.

Moreover, the main reason why Li Chengqian was willing to sell ordnance to Su Pi was that Su Pi could help him curb Tubo's unification and buy him time. This was the main reason why he was willing to help Su Pi.

As for the sale to the Western Turks, the reason is simpler. For the time being, the two countries have no geographical intersection, and there is Tuyuhun in the middle.

But Tuyuhun is different.

If they had the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest victim would most likely be the Ming Dynasty itself.

"Your Highness, the general feels that this matter has little relevance." Qibi Heli said, "Now that the general's subordinates have changed their uniforms, there is still a big gap between the fourth generation of continuous crossbows and the first generation of continuous crossbows.

Except for the Zhengxi Army and the Resentment Army, other armies are also equipped with third-generation repeating crossbows, which are also quite different from the first-generation repeating crossbows.

Of course, if the two armies fight in the future, it will definitely pose a certain threat to us, but how can there be no threat as long as there is a war? What's more, our equipment is obviously better than theirs. If we have to worry about this, the general will feel that this

It would be better not to fight at all.

Moreover, the last general also believes in me, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

Qibi Heli said this very confidently.

That is to say, Wan Qipu, Pu Luboqi and others have already gone to Zhenbei Mansion, otherwise they would probably be more confident.

"Your Highness, if it is subject to the same restrictions as the previous sale to Su Pi, such as on arrows, then this business will be really successful." Pu Xilao also said immediately.

He had a headache just looking at the batch of first- and second-generation crossbows in the warehouse. As Li Chengqian said, if you can't eat them or wear them, you might as well exchange them for some money and food.

Especially now that the expenses of the Imperial Court of Ming Dynasty are flowing eastward like the water of the river, it really makes him feel a lot of pressure.

However, since the military people didn't speak, it was hard for him to say much.

After all, it is soldiers like Qibi Heli who will face all this in the future.

After hearing what they said, Li Chengqian thought for a while and finally said: "Just follow the same rules as Su Pi." As he said, he sighed again, "Hey, I am just worried about the war that may break out at any time. If so,

Our soldiers were killed by the ordnance produced by ourselves, which is really a shame in the world."

"Your Highness, the benevolent ministers, all understand." Qibi Heli said, "But there are no immortals in war. Death on the battlefield is the best destination for a warrior."

Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing.

If I had a fucking army of millions, would I care if hundreds or thousands of people died?

The key is that I didn’t!

There are only so many soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty, and they only appeared recently.

It’s really like one less person dies.

"I understand what you mean. Okay, let's do this. Try to restrict them to the greatest extent, which is also responsible for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." Li Chengqian didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so that's it.

Come on.

As Minister of War, Qibi Heli, the general of the Western Army, had no objections, and he really had nothing to say.

In the final analysis, the profit of this business is not the most important thing.

…

And in Chuihe County.

Fifty miles outside of Chuihe City, Murong Xiaojun discovered dozens of poles erected on the grassland from a distance, and a human head hung high on each pole, swaying this way and that in the wind and snow, as if to show off to the public.

When he came closer, he saw a large number of items scattered on the ground. Just by taking a glance, Murong Xiaojun concluded that these items were from the Ming Dynasty. After all, he had been trading with the Ming Dynasty for such a long time, so he had no idea what the Ming Dynasty invented.

I am very familiar with the items I sell.

But this scene made him a little strange.

When he heard the report from his subordinates before, he thought it was an uneven distribution of the spoils or a case of gangsterism, but looking at this scene, it clearly sounded like a warning.

Could it be that King Dingcheng did it?

Thinking like this, Murong Xiaojun asked: "Have the identities of these people been found?"

His subordinates, who had been waiting here for a long time, heard this and immediately said: "Go back to the prince, I have already verified that he should be from the King of the West Sea."

Tuoba Zhao’s people?

Upon hearing this answer, Murong Xiaojun was also stunned.

If he had doubts about King Dingcheng at first, now he no longer had doubts.

Because these two guys had a very good personal relationship on weekdays, even if King Dingcheng found out that Tuoba Zhao's people were doing this, the most he would do was reprimand him, but he would never do it.

To put it bluntly, even if someone kills someone, it will not be done in this way.

"Is there any clue about the perpetrator?" Murong Xiaojun asked.

The man shook his head and said: "Not yet, but judging from the traces left in the snow, the perpetrator should have gone west.

Your Majesty, to the west..."

West?

Murong Xiaojun was also a little stunned. He had a military camp stationed there. Could it be that they did it?

But it stands to reason that if such a big thing happened, it would be impossible for my subordinates not to report it?

At this moment, King Dingcheng arrived after receiving the news.

He was also curious. All the ministries had reached a consensus that they would not do such a thing in the near future. Firstly, it was to disgust Murong Xiaojun, and secondly, it was to help him get a foothold as soon as possible. If anyone really jumped out at this moment, then

Don't blame him for not talking about the past friendship.

"Oh, King Gaochang is quite fast." King Dingcheng said with a smile as soon as the people arrived.

In the past, he would never dare to talk to Murong Xiaojun like this, but what is he afraid of now? Not to mention that Murong Xiaojun has provoked more people this time, just judging from Murong Fuyun's recent reaction,

They are all telling everyone the fact that he, Murong Xiaojun, has fallen out of favor.

A phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken. Who doesn’t understand this?

Murong Xiaojun also saw King Dingcheng coming early, so he was not curious about it: "King Dingcheng is not slow, right? Since you are here, why don't you find out who is doing it behind the scenes?

Smuggling business?

Who is so bold and dares to do such a thing even though he knows King Dingcheng is coming? Isn’t this a slap in the face of King Dingcheng?”

The king of Dingcheng looked a little ugly when he heard this. This is true, everyone has reached a consensus, but your sudden backstab really hit him in the face.

However, looking at the heads hanging on the poles swaying in the wind, King Dingcheng smiled and said: "These people are stupid enough. They know that King Gaochang has been a little angry recently, but they dare to jump under the eyes of King Gaochang.

,Isn’t this bad luck?”

With his words, he has concluded that Murong Xiaojun killed the person, and not only killed the person, but also vented his anger.

After all, Murong Xiaojun has really been feeling aggrieved recently.

And Murong Xiaojun didn't defend himself, don't worry, why are you so anxious? When you find out that these people are all Tuoba Zhao's people, you don't know what your reaction will be?

When King Dingcheng saw that he didn't answer anything, he immediately asked his subordinates to go down and check. He also dismounted and looked carefully at the things on the ground.

"These things are indeed from the Ming Dynasty." King Dingcheng was not just a drunkard. After looking at them for a while, he said, "Judging from the situation scattered on the ground, they should have been left during the fight. Most of them were probably taken by Murong Xiaojun.

It was taken away."

Speaking of this, he was also a little resentful.

Who the hell is this?

Everyone has obviously agreed, but do you want to embarrass me?

The key is, if you smuggle, just smuggle, don't let Murong Xiaojun catch you. Doesn't this give him a chance to turn over?

"Your Majesty, these are the people of King Xihai." When King Dingcheng was upset, his subordinates came down to report.

Upon hearing this, King Dingcheng was immediately stunned?

"you sure?"

The subordinate nodded and said: "I'm sure, I know the person leading the caravan. Your Majesty, take a look, it's that person."

As he said that, his subordinates pointed at him with their hands, "That guy is a clan brother of the King of the West Sea who dotes on his concubine. He has no ability and relies on flattery to get where he is today. Moreover, this guy is extremely greedy for money and lustful. In the end, he will

I will never admit my mistake.”

When he heard what he said, King Dingcheng had a headache.

Tuoba Zhao’s people?
