If the weapons and equipment in the world were divided into a level, the Qin army's weapons and equipment would definitely rank first.
Thanks to Qin Hao's technical support, the Qin army's total steel production and steel quality are much higher than those of other princes, so the weapons and equipment they create cannot be inferior.
In addition, the Qin army's weapon forging skills were top-notch, so the weapons and equipment they forged were naturally unmatched by other princes.
The Qin Army actually sells weapons to external parties. Of course, it only sells obsolete equipment. After all, these equipment are useless if they are kept and cannot be sold for money to reduce financial pressure.
As for the newly built new equipment, not even the Qin army has popularized them all, so naturally it is impossible to buy them.
Although the Qin Army sells obsolete equipment to the outside world, even if it is obsolete equipment, it is still top-notch equipment that is both practical and cheap to other princes.
Therefore, the equipment of the Qin army is the most sought-after in the arms sales market. Basically, as soon as there is an intention to sell it, princes will come to buy it soon, and the supply exceeds the demand.
The major princes are not stupid. They buy the equipment of the Qin Army. Firstly, it is really useful and can directly improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Secondly, it is to crack the skills of the Qin Army's equipment and improve the forging technology of their own arsenal.
However, even the equipment that was eliminated by the Qin Army, the forging skills contained in it are not that easy to crack.
In this regard, the princes invested a lot of manpower and material resources, just to crack the Qin army's equipment forging technology, but unfortunately they achieved little results, but the only gains were enough to upgrade their military industry to a higher level.
The Qin Army's new equipment is the most top-notch weaponry. After any army adopts the equipment, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, even the long-weakened Northern Navy.
After Li Jing takes office as the governor of Beihai, he will definitely encounter difficulties and even attacks by the princes of Qingzhou. The basis for preserving Beihai is that the combat effectiveness of the Beihai Navy must be strong enough, but improving the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be achieved in a short time.
Therefore, Li Jing thought of using the Qin Army's new equipment to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Beihai Navy, so that he could survive the most difficult initial stage after becoming the Governor of Beihai.
Qin Hao naturally knew about this willingness, but he shook his head and said: "Our navy is still very weak. Once the princes along the way intercept it, we have no ability to protect ourselves, so we can only go back and forth to Qingzhou just once."
"That's it..."
Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes, and then asked: "In addition to the three thousand cavalry, how much more can our navy carry?"
"Up to ten thousand sets of infantry equipment."
Li Jing's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "My lord, the general only needs 5,000 sets of infantry equipment. How about replacing the other 5,000 sets of equipment with crossbows for the general?"
"this……"
Qin Hao glanced at Li Jing strangely and thought to himself, this man looks loyal, but he didn't expect him to be so shrewd.
The Northern Navy has been weak for a long time. Even if they are given the best equipment, their internal strength will not increase much in the short term. However, the crossbow is different. Soldiers only need to obey the command of the equipment and shoot arrows in one direction. As long as they are ready before the war
With good training, even weak chickens can defeat elite soldiers.
Therefore, for the Northern Navy, strong crossbows are the most lacking weapons and equipment, but the value of strong crossbows cannot be compared to that of swords and guns.
After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he said: "I can only give you five thousand powerful crossbows at most."
"enough."
Li Jing was immediately overjoyed. He was only prepared to ask for three thousand at first, but unexpectedly the master gave five thousand.
In the end, Qin Hao and Li Jing finalized the lineup to enter Beihai. In addition to the five military generals and two civil servants, there were also three elite cavalrymen from the Huben camp, as well as 5,000 infantry preparations and 5,000 strong crossbows.
Since Kong Rong was also pressing for it, Li Jing decided to get married in advance, and took Yin Shiniang to Beihai on the second day of the wedding to hand over the marriage to Kong Rong, in order to prevent long nights and dreams.
After settling the Beihai incident, there was another thing that gave Qin Hao a headache, and that was Xuzhou Liu Bei's request for help from the imperial court.
Since the founding of Qin Hao's Luoyang court, Tao Qian has been the staunchest supporter. Although Tao Qian has stepped down, the new Liu Bei has implemented Tao Qian's political ideas and still respects the Luoyang court. Therefore, the court
In fact, it is not easy to just let Liu Bei fend for himself.
But if he saves Xuzhou at this time, he will definitely offend Zhu Yuanzhang, which will affect Qin Hao's plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty. After all, the relationship between him and the Ming Dynasty has only eased. If he offends Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
All in vain.
However, if Liu Bei is not saved, there will be only one Xuzhou Army in Xiapi County, which will be difficult to resist Zhu Yuanzhang's encroachment. Once Zhu Yuanzhang completely occupies Xuzhou, he will definitely go on to conquer the Central Plains or Hebei, which will undoubtedly affect the follow-up of the army.
strategy.
Therefore, saving and redressing Liu Bei became a dilemma for Qin Hao, and he could not discuss this problem with others. After all, conquering the Ming Dynasty had to be done in secret, and even his own people could not reveal anything before success.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Hao finally decided to save Liu Bei, not for any other reason but to delay Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of Xuzhou.
Qin Hao did not intend to conquer the entire Ming Dynasty at the beginning, so he did not care about offending Zhu Yuanzhang. What he cared about was that by offending Zhu Yuanzhang, he would offset the easing of the relationship between him and the Ming court.
Liu Bei must be saved, but in order not to offend Ming Ting, at least not to offend Ming Ting openly, so Qin Hao planned to carry out this rescue plan in secret.
Although Zina will send people to support Liu Bei this time, they will hide their true identities and disguise themselves as bandits and bandits to help Liu Bei. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang has no solid evidence, he will naturally not be able to destroy Qin Hao and Ming.
Ting's relationship.
The talent lineup under Zhu Yuanzhang is quite luxurious. The commander-in-chief is Xu Shiji, who was second only to Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty. The military general is Luo Shixin, who is second only to Li Yuanba. The military adviser is Fan Zeng, who has an intelligence of 101. There are also many generals such as Xue Ju, Xue Rengao, Xiang Zhuang, etc.
exist.
The only powerful generals under Liu Bei's command are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the only civilians who can take action are Chen Deng, Sun Qian and Jian Yong. With such a lineup, it would be hellishly difficult to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Since Qin Hao started the summoning, there have been eight hundred or less characters born, but Liu Bei has not caught even one.
Regarding this, I don’t know whether I should say that Liu Bei was so unlucky that he couldn’t catch anyone, or that he was so lucky that he was right and avoided everyone.
