After setting up camp ten miles outside the city, Xiao Gan entered Dongkuo with only two retinues and went straight to the mansion, where Lin Chong would meet him.

For the pride of the Xi family, and to the decisive future kings of the four armies, Xiao Gan, and Lin Chong gave due courtesy. Because history proves that the future Northern Liao regime will basically be centered on the two commanders Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan.

However, the Jurchens were too fierce, and in the face of naked strength, all the tricks and tricks failed, and in the end, Yelu Dashi fled far away, and Xiao Gan was given the head.

destroyed the Khitan, and then destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, leaving the Southern Song Dynasty and the party to tremble and linger. The Jurchens relied on this group of legendary gods of war who founded the country to create an invincible myth.

It's time to add fuel and fuel to these two nomadic tribes, and Xiao Gan is the most suitable representative.

Lin Chong came down the hall and looked at the middle-aged general in black with a smile. "I heard that Xiao Shuai's demeanor is extraordinary, and today I see it even better than the rumors. Look up for a long time. ”

As a prince, of course, it is impossible to put down his body and go to the door to greet a fourth-rank military attaché, but the etiquette of going down to the hall to greet each other on an equal footing will make Xiao Gan feel Lin Chong's kindness, and it is conceivable that the conversation between the two sides will be more harmonious.

Xiao Gan's eyes were like electricity, and he had already observed the scene after entering the door. There were three people at the scene, Lin Chong, Chen Dong and Yehu Ao, representing the military, the yamen and the business community respectively.

Although he didn't know the specific identity of Chen Donghe and Yehu Ao, he still smiled and bowed, "How dare you work for the prince's daughter!" This is all the sin of the lower officials. ”

"It's fun to have friends from afar!" Lin Chong dragged an ancient sentence, and then introduced him to two subordinates.

Xiao Gan understood Lin Chong's plan in a blink of an eye, the military, government and business three times sang together, this is preparing to make a big deal!

Okay, let's see how much appetite Lin Chong has?

After the introduction, the four of them went to the hall together, and after the guest of honor was seated, Xiao Gan took the lead in speaking.

"Lord Wang, the Ming people don't say dark words, the Jurchen is fierce and unstoppable, the main force of our army collapsed in the battle of Hubu Dagang, and the whole country shook and panicked. The Jurchen southward invasion is inevitable, and I heard that your firearms are excellent, and the country intends to purchase a batch to resist foreign invasion, I don't know if the prince thinks it is possible? ”

"You can live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do it yourself." Lin Chong also sighed when he got the exact news: "I have heard that at that time, Aguta was under deep siege, or it could be wiped out in half an hour. At this once-in-a-lifetime critical moment, Emperor Tianzuo of your country actually took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and brazenly escaped from the battlefield, so that the morale of the army was weakened? ”

Because Yelu Dashi had already informed all the battles of the Guardian Dagang, Xiao Gan naturally knew the details.

Lin Chong was right, it was because Yelu Yanxi's brain was pumped that he did such a stupid thing. Every time Xiao Gan thought about it, it was 700,000 horses, and they all fell on the vast snowfield!

"The news of the prince is very well-informed, ninety-eight is not far from ten, and the main reason for the fiasco in this battle is indeed caused by the boss's improper command. Because of this, we urgently need a victory to boost morale, and we ask the prince to help. ”

Xiao Gan calmly brought the topic back, hoping that Lin Chong would give him a clear answer.

Lin Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "When Dashi Linya came to Yongxing, we talked about it, and we did say that we could support you with a batch of firearms, but there are two prerequisites, I don't know if you have arranged it." ”

"No problem, our dynasty has already discussed abolishing Emperor Tianzuo and establishing His Royal Highness Ye Luchun. Moreover, Dashi Linya will serve as the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses, commanding the national army. ”

"Then let me add that the arms we aid can only be used to counter the Jurchen aggression, and you cannot use it for internal repression and external expansion, otherwise we will seek double economic compensation."

Xiao Gan was stunned for a moment, what kind of clause is this?

Chen Dong said solemnly, "This batch of arms can only be used to fight the Jurchens, we don't want you to use the weapons we aid to bully other forces, if you can't agree, this aid can't be implemented." ”

Xiao Gan thought about it and immediately understood that this was the power of Lin Chong and Dongkuo, and he was afraid that he would use this batch of arms to deal with the Jurchens, and then turn around to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, which would be like moving a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"Then I want to know, how much is the amount of this batch of arms that you have helped?"

Yehu Ao touched his beard, took over the conversation and asked, "Xiao Shuai, the specific matters are in charge of the small one, I don't know what arms you need, and how many of them?" ”

Before coming, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan specially studied the military aid items needed, such as muskets, artillery, fixed ammunition, steel balls, artillery shells, thunderbolt rockets, hot air balloons, airships, clairvoyants, flying umbrellas, steel arrowheads, etc., and at least 50,000 troops were needed.

Yelu Dashi thought that there were too many types, and the number was too large, and Dongkuo could not agree to it in any way. But Xiao Gan thinks that the lion opens his mouth first, and as for the other party to pay back the money on the spot, that is a matter later, no matter how much he pays back, it is impossible to be less than 10,000 people.

The new armament of 10,000 people, according to experience, can withstand 50,000 to 80,000 people.

All the elites of the Jurchens are only twenty or thirty thousand at best, and Shangjing is at their mouths, and they may not be able to hold it. But as long as you react quickly, you should be able to hold Chukyo and Tokyo. In this way, the expansion of the Jurchen can be compressed into a relatively small area.

Yehu Ao opened his mouth wide, and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Shuai, your appetite is too big, 50,000 people are equipped, it is unrealistic, so let's do it, I can arrange the basic equipment for you for 5,000 people first, including muskets, artillery, ammunition, clairlooms, and hot air balloons, as long as they are used well, these are not a problem to defend five or six cities, if it is not enough, I can hand over the equipment of 5,000 people to you in three months." ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Hu Ao added: "Two batches of arms, with a total market value of 40 million yuan, according to the principle of paid aid, we hope that your country can pay in currency or discounted goods, and can be paid in installments, 10 million per year." ”

Compared with the national social system, 40 million is nothing!

The Liao State has a territory of thousands of miles, rules over thousands of tribes, pays tribute every year, and earns tens of millions of dollars every year. Dongkuo's condition is quite reasonable, and the arms have reached the lowest estimate of 10,000, which is acceptable.

Xiao Gan nodded, "According to your requirements, we will add 10 million yuan, and I hope that you can train the three thousand new soldiers I brought in accordance with the standards within three months." ”

Hu Ao didn't expect this, and it wasn't for him to call the shots, so he turned his head and looked at Lin Chong.

Lin Chong admired in his heart, "What a cunning Xiao Gan, not only to arms, but also to train soldiers, this is hardware and software together!" ”

Chen Dong saw Lin Chong hesitate, and immediately understood that it was powerful, if the Khitan got the training secret method of the Wild Wolf Army, when the two sides went to war in the future, wouldn't it be to give himself eye medicine!

"Lord Wang, this must not be done!"
