"Have you ever thought that now Jiannu can't beat my Bao Army, and in a few years, my Bao Army will have a sufficient number of land and firearms and ammunition, will Jian Nu be even more unable to defeat us? When the time comes, if we destroy Jiannu, will we destroy you, the accomplices of Jiannu? If you were working with us now, the situation would be completely different! With the firearms and ammunition we provide, you are in good hands! It's really not good, you can pick up the men and horses and flee to Liaodong, in Liaodong, I will definitely protect you! Wei Bao said.

Zhuo Temur was a little tempted when he heard Wei Bao say this, but they were used to reaching out for things, and every time they said that they would cooperate with Da Ming, whether it was sincere or false, whether they were really preparing to cooperate in the war, or fake, they just said it casually.

Anyway, it's the norm to take the benefits first at the beginning.

Zottmul clearly didn't want to abandon this convention, and besides, he hadn't thought about whether or not to cooperate with Wei Bao.

Moreover, even if he thinks about it, he can't represent his father, he can't represent his clan.

Zotmur can't even speak now.

"Sir, who would leave the customary grazing land unless it was absolutely necessary? Don't you Han people have a saying that children don't think their mothers are ugly, and dogs don't think they are poor? We are used to grazing in whatever area we are used to, and we are always in that area. Zhuo Temur said: "Besides, every time the Ming people come to us to do things, they will first give tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if the lord really has a heart, he will give me 50,000 taels of silver first, and let me go back!" I can also look at your firearms, and if it's worth buying, I can buy some. ”

Wei Bao was almost laughed at angrily by the other party, he originally wanted to earn gold from the other party, but now that the gold has not been earned, this guy wants to take 50,000 taels of silver from himself first.

And he seems to despise his firearms very much, and actually said to take a look and buy a little.

Depend on.

What is the well-equipped thing for you to be a laborer?

Baojun himself is reluctant to use it, do you treat it as garbage?

You're pretty good at trading.

"I can sell you some rifles, bullets, grenades and mines, these." Wei Bao said: "You should have seen the power of these things, as for the specific usage, after you buy it, I will send someone to teach you by hand until you can master it!" A rifle of three hundred and fifty taels of gold! Two bullets and one golden round! Twenty taels of gold for a grenade, and twenty taels of gold for a mine. ”

This time, it was almost not Zhuotmur's turn to blow up, he was not interested in buying Baojun's equipment, and he heard that the rifle was three hundred and fifty taels of gold! Two bullets and one golden round! Twenty taels of gold for a grenade, and twenty taels of gold for a mine. This kind of super expensive price, even less interest.

"Dear sir, do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think that our Mongolian tribe is full of gold? Drotmur sneered, "I'm sorry, it's neither, we won't buy your weapons." We Mongols are accustomed to archery and feel that this is enough to protect ourselves. ”

"Enough for self-preservation? Hehe, you are enough to protect yourself to the point that you have become the lackeys of Jiannu, and you dare to be so confident, I really admire. Wei Bao's patience died out a little, and he gradually revealed his murderous aura, feeling that this Mongolian tribal descendant was a little unreasonable, and he felt that there was not much need to continue talking.

Zhuotmur stood up excitedly: "Sir! You speak politely, although I am your prisoner, if you want to kill, you must listen to it! But you can't insult a Mongol warrior, and even more so our clan! I heard that the Han people have a saying that a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! ”

"Your Chinese sentence is very good, but I think it should be used more when you are enslaved by Jiannu, you are enslaved by Jiannu, have you ever thought about the sentence that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated?" Wei Bao said: "Think about it, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, did we Han people enslave your Mongolian tribes? On the contrary, because you once supported Ming Chengzu in attacking Nanzhili, you also received a lot of preferential treatment. ”

Zhuo Temur didn't speak, fell into silence, Wei Bao's words hit his heart, what the Ming Dynasty did to them, and what Jiannu did to them, in fact, you don't need to think much to understand.

"Sir, we can't use your weapons, the most important thing is that they are too expensive!" Drotmur said after a while.

"Are you used to reaching out in vain? Is there dignity in what you get with your white hand? Only beggars beg from people, do beggars have dignity? You buy our arms, it's a fair deal, and your victory will be entirely your own credit. Wei Bao said: "On the contrary, what you got for nothing, you risked your life, and the credit is not yours, at best, you are just our thugs." As for weapons and equipment being too expensive, there is a reason why they are expensive, because you have already seen the power! As for what you said, when you get used to using our weapons, we won't give them to you one day, or when we arbitrarily raise the price, we can avoid these problems by signing an agreement. You can negotiate, the same products in the future, are the same price, and you can negotiate a long-term supply, you can negotiate the purchase period, the purchase quantity, you only need to pay a part of the deposit, and the weapons will be continuously delivered to you! You should know that we Daming attaches the most importance to credit, and we have signed a good agreement in the form of words, and both parties are binding! For example, if you need 10,000 grenades, we need to sell them to you in three years, and the total price is 200,000 taels of gold, and you only need to pay a deposit of 20%, which is 40,000 taels! ”

Zottmul was dazzled by Wei Bao's words, he was not good at trading, and he had little experience with it.

"If you say something, I will seriously consider it, but I can't be the master alone." Zotmur finally relented, "Can you not pay the gold first, I will bring some weapons back, and then I will go back and pay the gold." The lord asked me to bring back the agreement he had just told me to show my father, and after we discussed it, I would reply to him. ”

"Yes!" Wei Bao replied very simply, "You can talk to General Lin about the specific details." ”

Wei Bao nodded to Lin Wenbiao beside him.

Although Lin Wenbiao is the director of the Statistics Department of the Heaven and Earth Society, it is not abrupt to be called a general if he has a military position, and if he is called Director Lin, the Mongolians still don't know the position of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they are confused.

"Shizi, I'll take you to see the weapon now, don't worry, we will send someone to teach you until now. Our weapons are easy to handle, and I suggest that you equip an army that specializes in the use of firearms, so that you can start without a lot of people, and when you feel the need, this army can gradually expand. Lin Wenbiao said.

"Good!" Drotmur agreed.

Zhuo Temur himself was also very strange, he was originally very reluctant to use the firearms of the Bao Army, but he was repeatedly said by Wei Bao's powerful eloquence, and he was actually tempted to say it.

Lin Wenbiao then took Zhuo Temur down, demonstrated the rifle to Zhuo Temur, and asked Zhuo Temur to fire two shots himself.

Zottmul was not slow to learn, and was immediately very interested in this kind of rifle that could fire continuously and was easy to operate.

Zotmur then threw the grenade himself, and the loud boom was actually sent by the grenade he had thrown, which was completely different from how he felt when he saw the treasure army throwing grenades on the battlefield.

In the end, Drottmur even planted a mine himself and experimented with a sheep, and the fat sheep was instantly blown apart and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"Rifles, ten! 10,000 rounds of bullets! Grenades, a thousand! Mines, a thousand! "The speed with which Zotmul placed the order was very fast, completely different from the previous hesitation.

The life of the desert is rough and bold, and he will not hesitate when he thinks about it.

"Okay, ten rifles are three thousand five hundred taels of gold, ten thousand rounds of ammunition are twenty thousand taels of gold, one thousand grenades are twenty thousand taels of gold, and one thousand mines are also twenty thousand taels of gold, for a total of sixty-three thousand five hundred taels of gold. However, I suggest that Shizi buy more rifles, because our rifle can only shoot an average of 500 rounds, and we are basically facing scrap. Lin Wenbiao suggested.

"A gun that can only shoot 500 rounds will be scrapped? Still so expensive? "Zotmur was distressed, all at once it was sixty-three thousand five hundred taels of gold, he was already very distressed, and he was even more distressed when he heard that a gun could only shoot five hundred bullets.

"Yes, Shizi, our goods are genuine, if there is any problem, we will also tell you in advance, Heaven and Earth will never deceive friends." Lin Wenbiao said.

"Then, let's still have ten rifles, minus some bullets, five thousand rounds of ammunition." Zottmur Road.

"Shizi, will ten guns be too little? You can only equip a cavalry team of ten people, and you should equip at least a hundred-man team to carry out the mission alone, right? Lin Wenbiao said.

"It's too expensive, the bullet is halved, is it still 53,500 taels? Let's try it first, do you know how much gold more than 50,000 taels of gold means to our tribe? With so much gold, do you know how much food you can buy? "Drotmurdo.

"Otherwise, the prince will order twenty rifles first, right? A cavalry team of twenty people can at least be used by your own army as a protector of the clan leader, and ten people is really too little. Lin Wenbiao said.

Zotmur hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's ask for twenty rifles, how much gold?" ”

"A total of 67,000 taels of gold!" Lin Wenbiao said.

"It's so expensive! Can't the price be cheaper? If we take these things, we may be useless, and we will have to pay nearly 70,000 taels of gold! "Drotmurdo.

"I'm sorry, Shizi, this is already the lowest price, if Shizi knows one day that the price we sell to others is higher than Shizi, you can claim compensation from us! We can pay 100,000 taels of gold! Lin Wenbiao said.

Hearing what Lin Wenbiao said, Zhuo Temur nodded, "Okay then!" No, don't you sell weapons not only to us, but to other people? If we are fighting against the Jin people, and you sell weapons to the Jin people, then we can't beat the Jin people? If you have sold us weapons, you cannot sell them to anyone else! This point is best written in the agreement that the lord said. ”

"I can't be the master of this, the prince is waiting for me to ask the lord." Lin Wenbiao said.

"I'll go with you, no, I'll just say it to the lord." Zottmur Road.

"Yes." Lin Wenbiao agreed, led the way in front, and led Zhuo Temur to see Lord Wei.

Wei Bao expected that Zhuo Temur would come to find him, so he didn't leave, and waited in the hall of Shanhaiguan and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

"Sir, if you sell weapons to us, you can't sell them to anyone else, especially not to the people we are fighting with, you can't make two families of gold." Zhuo Temur said bluntly: "Otherwise, we don't need your firearms, both sides use your firearms, and the fight can only be a defeat for both sides, and your family will be cheaper." ”

"There's no way we can promise you." Wei Bao replied bluntly, "The quantity you need can't get up, and it can't meet our sales needs." And have you thought about it, once you use the firearms provided by our treasure army, Jiannu will know that you are already close to us, and if you want to fight you, you have to weigh it. In addition, unlike you, Jiannu will not consider buying our firearms unless they have to. Thirdly, we have a limited number of firearms, it is very difficult to produce, and there are not so many weapons for sale, I can promise to give priority to you under the same circumstances! Besides, we have a treaty. If you want to monopolize the arms we sell, you have to buy more! In this way, even if we want to sell arms to others, we do not have the ability. ”

"So, how much does it take for you to sell only firearms to us?" Drottmur asked.

"More than five million taels of gold in a year!" Wei Bao Road.

Zhuo Temur was so frightened by Wei Bao that he almost didn't have a heart attack, "Sir, how many people in this world can take out five million taels of gold a year?" ”

"Our heaven and earth will not say five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of gold will be taken out! You can also buy our firearms and sell them to other tribesmen! As long as you increase the number of orders, you can increase the price and make profits. Wei Bao said.

Zotmur was depressed, feeling that he was being surrounded by Wei Bao again, and the young man in front of him was too difficult to deal with, too shrewd.

"Sir, if I say I don't want any weapons now, will you kill me?" Drottmur asked.

"Of course not! Not only will it not kill you, but it will also let you go! Wei Bao said: "But you must know that even if you don't want our arms, you can't guarantee that the Horqin tribe won't want them, you can't guarantee that Lin Dan Khan won't want our arms, and you can't guarantee that Jiannu won't buy arms from us!" ”

Zotmur pondered for a while, and said, "Then I'd better take the 67,000 taels of gold weapon I just said first, and such a big matter will have to be discussed by my father and the other clan leaders." ”

"Yes, we never buy and sell strongly, it is difficult for strong people, it is all voluntary, this is a good opportunity, the opportunity is in front of you." Wei Bao said: "If I were your clan, I would immediately do my best to buy a large number of our arms, quickly open up the situation, and then resell them, while you earn the wealth gained through the war, while reselling the arms, the profits you get are unimaginable to you before!" Moreover, you are the first to buy arms from our Heaven and Earth Society, and we are already in an alliance relationship, not a master-servant relationship! We are both equal and mutually beneficial. ”

"Sir, what do you mean by equality and mutual benefit?" Drotmur didn't understand.

"Well, equality and mutual benefit are brothers!" Wei Bao laughed.

"Oh, it's Anda! We are honored. Zhuotmur saluted Wei Bao, and then said solemnly: "Sir, when I go back, I will explain it to my father seriously." ”

Wei Bao nodded, "Okay! ”

Zhuo Temur respectfully saluted Wei Bao, ready to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something, "I'm just leaving?" Why are you sending me back?"

"It's easy, we'll get in touch with your father first and ask them to pick you up on the edge of the Xiaoling River, and then we'll send you and your weapons to the designated location with our sailors. In three days, you will definitely let the son of the world meet your father. Lin Wenbiao said.

Only then did Zotmur reassure, "It's best not to keep quiet about my going back, especially about weapons." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Please rest assured that no one will know about this." At least on our side, we can guarantee that there will be absolutely no leakage, just like a few days after the prince arrived at Shanhaiguan, no one on our side knew that we had arrested you, not even about our arrest of Nurhachi's two sons. ”

Zhuo Temur nodded and said: "The discipline of the treasure army is strict, and your meticulous work is also very good, and the things you want to keep secret can indeed be done without leakage, which is admired by the entire north." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and did not say anything, which was regarded as a thank you for Zhuo Temur's sycophant.

Drotmur saluted again and withdrew.

"Don't you agree first when you will give us the gold? The president trusts him so much? Wu Xuexia said: "Don't be deceived by the simple appearance of the Mongols, they are also very good at backsliding." ”

"Don't be afraid." Wei Bao smiled: "Give him a weapon, and he will definitely sign the receipt and IOU." A large tribe, if it is for tens of thousands of taels of gold, it is nothing for us to throw away these weapons, and to do business, where is there no risk at all? Moreover, this batch of weapons is used in the army, that is, to fight a skirmish, which is completely different from the value and role of being used in the hands of the Nekhalkha tribes. ”

Wu Xuexia nodded and said, "What the president said is true." ”

For the first military purchase order to have 67,000 taels of gold, President Wei is quite satisfied.

That's more than 10 times the profit!

Moreover, once the development of arms procurement begins, it can greatly speed up the level of the military industry of the Baojun.

Passing on the high cost caused by backward technology to others.

Wei Bao was chatting with Wu Xuexia, who knew that Zhuo Temur was outside asking to see him again.

Wei Bao Khan, said in his heart that the Mongols also have so many things? "Please!"
