Yelu Yujian and Xiao Ang both came to Dongkuo with the armaments procurement group. Out of respect for the two major systems of cultural relics of the Northern Liao regime, Lin Chong prepared a reception dinner for them.

The food culture of Dongkuo is becoming more and more developed, and the delicacies, wine and tea ceremonies, all of which are fine and beautiful, and the guests praise each other.

Xiao Ang is a player who is good at this, whether it is Sanjing Bianliang or Jiangnan Water Town in the Great Song Dynasty, he is always looking at the flowers. However, the formation of a unique cultural ritual with such a professional norm as Dongkuo is endlessly memorable.

Lin Chong naturally knew that Yelu Yujian was a veteran figure representing the military, and the other party deliberately went to Dongkuo in the name of the mission, definitely not to eat and drink tea.

Taking advantage of Xiao Ang's pursuit of Dongkuo's characteristic culture in the streets and alleys, Lin Chong and Yelu Yujian's formal conversation also began.

"The Jurchen barbarians are too brave, and in the first battle of Zhongjing, our battle losses were as high as three to one. The main thing is that the rate of fire is too slow to form a fire blockade, so I beg you for machine-gun assistance. ”

Lin Chong smiled slightly, "The first battle in Zhongjing is not a matter of weapons, it is your negligence, and you have been exploited by others under your nose, and you can't complain about others." Machine guns are now non-export equipment. But for the sake of mutual friendship, we can provide additional assistance. ”

Yelu Yu saw that he raised the price just now, just to get the greatest benefit for himself, and this time he made the right bet. Lin Chong agreed to help, it must be better than a musket, it is very likely to be a one-to-one rifle, five consecutive shots, long range, and fast speed.

"We can provide one-to-one rifles and ammunition, plus grenadiers and exclusive grenades." Lin Chong gave Yelu Yu two weapons in one breath.

Yelu Yu was surprised and delighted to see that the advantages of the one-one rifle were much better than those of the musket. Although he didn't know what a grenadier was, what Lin Chong shot couldn't be a bad thing.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chong's next sentence made him difficult: "We hope to witness that these weapons are used against those invaders." ”

"Lord, what do you mean?"

"We hope to set up an office in Yanjing, and at the same time send military observers to be responsible for the distribution, use and storage of materials in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations."

"Do you want to establish formal diplomatic relations with our court?"

Yelu Yu was a little unsure why Lin Chong did this, whether he wanted to be on the stage.

Lin Chong shook his head, "We just want to provide technical support and necessary help for the special activities of arms aid, once the aid stops, these personnel will naturally withdraw to Dongkuo, we are only responsible for the legality of the use of our own materials, and have no other ideas." ”

Although it is a big piece of fat, Yelu Yujian has no right to make a decision on the spot, he must report to Yeluchun and the other elders. However, he talked to Lin Chong about another thing that gave him a headache.

"Ships for war?! Who are you fighting a naval battle with? ”

Lin Chong was a little confused, the Khitan was completely a nation that immediately fought the world, more landlubbers than landlubbers, which would actually put forward the need for warships, which was a bit of a strange feeling.

Yelu Yu let out a long sigh and said something that interested Lin Chong.

"At the end of last year, merchant ships and fishing vessels traveling between Yingzhou, Jinzhou, and the Soviet Union were repeatedly plundered by pirates. China has dispatched dozens of warships to encircle and suppress it, but it has been defeated one after another by the opponent's high-level watercraft warships. Now the pirates are arrogant and domineering, and they are helpless. I have heard that your warships are exquisite and powerful, can you provide them with warships to help us exterminate the pirates? ”

Lin Chong remembered the stunner who was a mixture of angels and demons in an instant, but he didn't expect her power army to expand to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

It's been almost a year, and I should have lived a very nourishing life, and instead of dealing with the White River Emperor, I actually became a pirate and wasted my investment.

"Warships are fine, but even if your navy has high-level warships, they may not be their opponents. Naval warfare is all about tactics, coordination, and the experience of commanders, and untrained sailors are meat on a chopping block in their eyes. ”

As a famous marshal, the difference between a well-trained and a rabble is still clear, and he did not question it, but humbly asked for the tricks of water warfare.

"Training, except for training day after day, there are no shortcuts, warships are tools, used to achieve goals, but training soldiers is to make them proficient in the use of these tools, according to the commander's intentions."

"A large group of sailors plus a fleet does not form combat effectiveness. It's not even as good as a well-trained thirty-man battleship, so let's train first, and if you need us to provide instructors and training ships, then go and discuss with Chen Fuyin. ”

Sending Yelu away, Lin Chong knew that the Northern Liao Kingdom would go farther and farther on the road of degeneration, and the next thing was to see the Jurchen, if nothing else, Wanyan Aguta would send someone to contact him.

Even the founder of the Jin Kingdom, who had been iron-blooded all his life, couldn't stand a small ambush battle, and 1,500 Jurchen disciples fell. Even if it was a decisive battle between the two sides that poured the whole country's troops, the Jurchens only lost more than 5,000 people in the guard.

Dongkuo has been doing a good business with muskets lately, and the arsenal has been expanded three times in a year, but demand is still outstripping supply.

The party had recently turned its attention to the Uighurs of Gaochang, and had already achieved two major victories, forcing the king to flee westward.

In the Dongkuo Industrial Zone, muskets, artillery, thistles, God's Wrath rockets, clairloons, hot air balloons, multi-purpose military shovels, alcohol, gauze, woolen and other materials are all under the assumption of overtime.

Many prisoners of the Western Army and the Forbidden Army were recruited to work in the factories, and the operation of the assembly line was safe and fast, and a new worker became a journeyman in about a week.

The factory is very simple, it eats and sleeps, eats and sleeps three times a day, provides dormitories, has one day off every ten years, and has a consistent monthly salary.

Many prisoners felt that this was more comfortable than being a soldier, and some of them were tempted to stay and settle here, even if the two-year hard labor period was over.

I asked the familiar management foreman, and the feedback was that everyone is welcome to settle in Dongkuo, issue a temporary residence permit, and live for three years to become a formal Dongkuo resident, protected by the Dongkuo government.

For those who have moved with their families, the government promises that each person, young and old, will be given five acres of land and will be given free farm tools and seeds. At this time, many people have sent letters to their families, asking relatives and friends to move to Dongkuo with their families.

Therefore, when the spring flowers bloomed, Dongkuo ushered in the first climax of population migration. According to the statistics of the first three months, more than 4,820 households were admitted, with a total population of more than 17,400.

School-age children go to school free of charge, the able-bodied labour force either conscripts into the army or work in industrial and mining factories, and the elderly and women work in the fields.

According to the land deed and temporary residence certificate given by the government, the land is exempt from tax for the first three years, and only 20% of the grain needs to be paid from the fourth year. Such favorable conditions stimulated the great enthusiasm of the new immigrants, and they quickly settled down in Yongxing, Dongkuo, and Xiagou.

Dongkuo has become a dream holy place for the poor in the northwest.
