Chapter 604: Armed to the Teeth

In fact, according to Lu Peng's understanding, the best profession in the world is the emperor's business, that is, as long as the emperor plays the balance of power, he can ensure long-term peace and stability and a peaceful life.

As for those emperors who were killed and overthrown, it was the result of singing a one-man show, which was self-inflicted, and I couldn't complain about others.

But it's all gossip, so it's better to look at the present.

Fifty sea ships are enough to fight against the naval armies of the warlords along the way, of course, Sun Quan can't do it, but there is no need for himself and Sun Quan to fight, and Sun Quan must think so.

But this is not enough, in order to save his life, Lu Peng decided to immediately arm these fifty sea ships.

As a result, an improved catapult that had been urgently transferred was assembled on the ship and equipped with a full operator. These catapults were also specially equipped with Savage Valley specialties, high burning value fire oil bombs, and the abundance of them was outrageous. For the sake of the safety of the lord, Wu Tao was also out of the way, and filled all the warehouses on the armed merchant ships with oil bombs.

For such extravagant equipment, Youzhou and Lu Peng did not hesitate at all. If you want to save your life, then you have to be ruthless. According to Lu Peng's plan, once he encounters the interception of the enemy's warship, he will definitely not play any gangside battle, it will be a long-distance fire and oil bomb strike and burn his mother.

Don't underestimate Lu Peng's oil bomb, he has already surpassed, and now uses vegetable oil as a raw material for ordinary oil bombs.

Lu Peng's students, under Lu Peng's simple guidance, immediately opened their brains, gave full play to the advantages of the group's invention, and refined tar in the coal of Changli Coal Mine in Liaoning Province, and according to Lu Peng's deliberate inadvertent reminder - adding white phosphorus, the power will be greater.

White phosphorus is not unusual at all in this era, and this is also due to the earliest chemists, Taoist priests, who came up with chemically synthesized things while they were striving for immortality, and now they are actually short of a systematic summary.

Of course, Lu Peng is not idle to be a chemist to contribute to the progress of the world, his main mission is to conquer the world and use war to promote the development of the world.

In this way, the fire phosphorus bomb, which was banned by the world in the wars of later generations, was born in this era.

A fire oil bomb with phosphorus added to the viscous coal tar will become a nightmare for the enemies of this world, because this thing is indeed too vicious, and where the fire oil splashes, like maggots attached to the bones, it burns wherever it gets wet, and it will not be extinguished, and if it sticks to the skin of a person, it will never stop until it burns to the bones.

Don't mention the trial of the Hague court to me, now The Hague doesn't know where it is, who pays attention to treaties and humanity with you, everything is for the victory of the war, at this point, Lu Peng violated his conscience of mercy for the world and took the first step of the devil.

So, Lu Peng and his soldiers sat proudly on the crater and looked for opponents from all over the world.

So, Lu Peng and his soldiers sat proudly on the crater and looked for opponents from all over the world.

The second piece of equipment is the eight-bull crossbow newly developed by Lu Peng.

Although the original crossbow arrow is huge, there are also the disadvantages of being cumbersome and difficult to operate, and requiring many personnel, but after the development and reform of Lu Peng, the role of the movable pulley and the lever is used, and the giant crossbow that originally needs to be operated by ten people becomes two people to operate without reducing the power, and at the same time, the huge crossbow can carry a small oil skin, and the crossbow arrow can be launched to the enemy's mast, and the enemy's mast will be burned, and the enemy's ship can also be burned by the way.

Of course, the Lu longbow is indispensable, and its power is also very huge.

In this way, a warship has a three-layer blow of a long-range catapult, a medium-range eight-bull crossbow, and a short-range Lu longbow, and under these three layers of blows, at the current speed of the ship, it can still survive rushing in front of Lu Peng's warship, which is definitely a miracle within a miracle.

After the equipment was completed, a sea strike experiment was carried out, and the effect was quite shocking. Now it is now possible to call these merchant ships warships instead of armed merchant ships.

And at this time, the negotiations between Youzhou and the Jiangnan family were also successfully completed, and in the end, Lu Peng and Wang Xiang had a long talk alone in a secret room for a long night, as for the content of the conversation, it was not enough for outsiders.

Different from the original bonfire covenant on the grassland, this time, the oath of the covenant was held on the Wang family's ship, and the ceremony was solemn and solemn, and Lu Peng and the Jiangnan family reached the following most important agreements.

First, Lu Peng released the supply and development of military equipment for the Jiangnan family. However, Jiangnan Shijia must ensure that these devices can only be used overseas and cannot be sold in the Central Plains.

Second, Lü Peng will allow Jiangnan merchants to sell Jiangnan goods to all parts of Youzhou, and through Youzhou, they will be transferred to the northern grasslands. However, Jiangnan traders must follow Lu Peng's rules and are not allowed to sell strategic materials to the grasslands.

Third, the caravans of the Jiangnan family who trade under the rule of Youzhou will enjoy the same treatment as the merchants of Youzhou, and there shall be no discrimination, but the Jiangnan caravans must pay the prescribed taxes to Youzhou in full.

Fourth, Lü Peng must open up the hair of Youzhou commodities such as iron, the steel of the Savage Valley, and the coke of western Liaoning to the south of the Yangtze River at low prices.

Fifth, the Jiangnan caravan family must purchase a sufficient amount of Youzhou materials every year.

Sixth, Lü Peng opened the land sale policy of Wuhuan's hometown to the Jiangnan family (in fact, to all the clans of the Han Dynasty), allowing the clans to go there to build their own kingdoms.

seventh

And so on and so forth, there are as many as twenty large and small ones.

It's a covenant of equality, it's a covenant of mutual assistance and reciprocity, it's a covenant of mutual happiness.

After killing three animals and announcing the oath to heaven and earth, everyone happily ate pigs, cows, sheep and three animals and sacrificed their teeth, even if the oath of the covenant was completed. As Jiangnan and those Bashu wealthy families who were not present, they sent Lu Peng another generous gift - the fifty armed merchant ships, as well as the families and equipment on board.

This is a big deal, this gift alone is enough to have 100 million dollars, and when these families give it out, it is so light and rustling.

When Lu Peng really felt the huge outrageous profits of the sea trade, and felt that the navy was indeed a gold-swallowing beast, Lu Peng made up his mind that he had money, built a bigger navy than this, and walked to the deep blue ocean with those profiteers, and shared a piece of the ocean's soup with these profiteers.

The fleets in the south of the Yangtze River immediately went north and went to Youzhou to make crazy purchases, ready to make a lot of money.

At this time, Lu Peng temporarily had an explanation for the merchants and workshops in Youzhou, at least, through this maritime alliance, the Jiangnan market was opened for Youzhou's goods, so that the industry and commerce of Youzhou, which had been hit hard by the trade war with Cao Cao, resumed its development again.
