Chapter 125: Arms Dealers
"Jerodashi?"
Chen Yan muttered a sentence in his mouth, and a throbbing appeared between his eyebrows.
"Brother Dashi, please tell me if you have something."
Chen Yan said with a straight face.
"Okay, then I'm not going to beat around the bush."
Yelu Dashi said.
"In the next time, I have to ask for something."
"If you want to ask the Metropolitan Governor for help, please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to send troops to resist the rebellious attack of the Jin State with us, and as a price, my Liao State can return the Hetao and even the land of Yanyun to the Metropolitan Governor."
Chen Yan glanced at Yelu Dashi, but shook his head slowly.
"I won't say yes."
"Why?"
Yelu Dashi asked with some puzzlement, a pair of hard eyebrows furrowed.
"I firmly believe that what you can't get on the battlefield is not to be thought about at the negotiation table, so unless my army captures Hetao or Yanyun, otherwise, what Brother Dashi said is just a flower in the well in my opinion."
"Is the Metropolitan Governor really unwilling to help me Da Liao?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! You've exhausted your fortune. ”
Chen Yan said directly.
It is now the fourth year of Song Xuanhe, that is, in 1122 AD, Emperor Liao Tianzuo even lost the capital and led a large army into exile.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the number of great liao qi has been exhausted!
I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few years!
"Dadu Governor, dare to insult me like this?!"
Yelu Dashi suddenly got up and glared angrily at Chen Yan.
"Hehehe, am I insulting you Da Liao, I believe that General Dashi also knows it in his heart."
Chen Yan said with a sneer.
"General Dashi, let me tell you the truth, I want the captive army in Hetao, but if you want my captive army to send troops, it is impossible."
Chen Yan would never allow the main force of the Dangyu Army to go north and then face the cavalry of the Jin Army or the Liao Army in the plains and grasslands before he had a large number of cavalry.
used the infantry to knock the cavalry, he Chen Yan was not sick with his brain!
"You...... Governor, you deceive people too much! ”
Yelu Dashi made an angry expression.
But Chen Yan said in a changed tone.
"General Dashi, don't be angry, I'll ask you a question, what do you think of the weapons and armor of my captive army?"
Yelu Dashi's eyes flickered, as if he understood what Chen Yan wanted to do.
"Very good, the quality is definitely not under my big Liao."
Yelu Dashi said very disobediently.
"I can provide weapons to Da Liao, but I need Da Liao to exchange gold and silver treasures."
Chen Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the expression on his face looked a little smiling.
That's right, he's going to be an arms dealer!
If you want to say that in this world, what kind of business is the most profitable, it is undoubtedly arms.
This thing is just needed, no matter how high the price is, as long as he uses it, then he must buy it!
Now the Liao State has lost its cities and land by the Jin State, and most of the country's land has been lost, and most of the economically developed cities with the ability to produce weapons have been occupied by the Jin State.
Therefore, Chen Yan dared to conclude that the Liao State must be very short of weapons and armor now.
"What price?"
Yelu Dashi's eyes flickered, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the plate armor and ring-headed sword of the sergeant in the lobby before he spoke.
"Five ring-headed knives for a war horse, or a hundred yuan."
"A set of plate armor for a war horse, or a hundred dollars."
"No counteroffer."
Chen Yan said with a grin.
The expression on Yelu Dashi's face instantly stiffened.
Chen Yan's price is really dark!
Don't look at the value of war horses in the Great Song Dynasty, but a war horse on the grassland is definitely not worth a hundred yuan.
Don't say a hundred, even if it's ten or twenty, no one wants it!
Looking at the expression on Chen Yan's face, the corners of Yelu Dashi's mouth twitched, Chen Yan's offer was too dark, he had the heart to refuse, but he didn't dare.
He was afraid that as soon as he refused, Chen Yan would sell the weapon to Jin Guo!
Don't doubt it, he's pretty sure that this slut would do that.
If Chen Yan knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely praise him, you are really a little clever ghost.
Chen Yan was not ready to do this, but he had already done so, and the caravan of the Dang Captivity Army had already carried weapons and armor to the north of the Jin Kingdom.
However, in order to ensure the absolute superiority of the Swinging Army's weapons and equipment, the weapons sold by the Swinging Army were castrated versions.
For example, the ring head knife, the model sold outside is not made of pure steel at all, but ordinary wrought iron.
Although the quality is much better than other weapons of this era, there is still a significant gap compared to the weapons held in the hands of the Dang Capture Army.
Another example is plate armor, which is also made of ordinary wrought iron, not only is its defensive ability far inferior to the steel armor of the Swinging Army, but it is also at least half as heavy as the plate armor of the Swinging Army.
Dead and sunk!
Even a strictly trained soldier wearing such plate armor to fight would not last long before he became paralyzed.
It's all stuff anyway!
As for the thermal weapons such as muskets, artillery, and earth-shaking thunder, Chen Yan was not ready to buy them, these were the real weapons of the Dangling Army to defeat the enemy.
Yelu Dashi pondered for a moment, and said with a somewhat ugly face.
"The price offered by the Metropolitan Governor is too high."
"You get what you pay for."
Chen Yan said with a smile.
"If you don't believe me, General Oishi and I will come."
As Chen Yan spoke, he got up from where he was and walked outside the hall, and Yelu Dashi followed suit.
The group came to a school field, and Chen Yan motioned for his subordinates to take out a pair of weapons and plate armor of the Swinging Army and put them on a table.
"General Oishi, can you borrow the weapons and armor of your soldiers?"
"Naturally."
Jerod Dashi is not allowed.
He motioned to a Liao soldier beside him to take off his weapons and armor and put them on the table.
"General Oishi, please try it yourself."
Chen Yan motioned to Yelu Dashi to personally test the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon.
Yelu Dashi stepped forward, picked up the standard ring head knife of the Dang Captive Army, looked at it carefully, rubbed the blade with his fingers, broke the blade hard, waved it a few times, and the light in his eyes became more and more abundant.
He picked up the weapons of the Liao army again, brandished the weapons of the Liao army, and slashed towards the standard ring-headed knife of the Dang Captive Army.
When!
The standard ring-headed knife of the Dang Captive Army was safe and sound, but there was a big gap in the long knife of the Liao Army.
Yelu Dashi's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but admire in his mouth.
"Good knife, really good knife!"
"Try the armor again."
Chen Yan opened his mouth and said.
Yelu Dashi nodded, picked up the Liao army's long knife and slashed at the plate armor of the Dang Capture Army.
Boom!
There was another sound of gold and iron clashing, and only a white mark appeared on the plate armor of the Dang Captive Army, but the long knife of the Liao Army did not break through the defense of the plate armor of the Dang Captive Army.
Yelu Dashi's heart beat faster, if everyone in his army could have such a set of armor, wouldn't they be invincible on the battlefield?!
To be honest, he was moved!
