The state of Mengla in the population of the state of Chu. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Bay of Benglas. The Bangla River washes over the area, because of the southwest monsoon, and because it is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, it has abundant precipitation and agriculture here. And there are more and more Chu ships staying here. In just a dozen days, a large number of Chu ships gathered here, and the port here expanded a lot at once.

A lot of Mengla people gathered here, especially the merchants, because the Chu people who came here had a lot of things that they had never seen before.

In order to facilitate the development of trade, the Mengla people gave some land to the Chu people with special kindness, but it was only the land for living, and many Chu people came here to find a new piece of land to develop their plantations, but now it seems that they can only gather here. Because there are a lot of people in Mengla. And they have just arrived, and their forces are too weak. There was simply no ability to carry out a larger military offensive against the Menla.

"You can see the situation here. There are a lot of people in Mengla, we have made preliminary calculations, this city-state, there are about 100,000 people, the army has expanded to more than 50,000 people at once, and there are elephants, countless small boats, if there are several nearby city-states on the plane, there will be an army of more than 200,000 people gathered at once, the number is too huge. We simply cannot defeat these Menla. Li Man said. He is the captain of the Flying Eagle of the Chu State.

"It's just that it's too humid here. I heard that it's not the rainy season, but if it's the rainy season, oh my God. Our muskets can't kill at all, and the most important thing is that we don't have enough manpower, our army of only a few hundred people can't beat those Mengla, there are tens of thousands of Menla, counting the bullets, we can only shoot one person, barely can. I think our odds are a little too low. Musket captain Xiang Zi said.

"Even the problem of artillery is difficult to solve, we need to build a battery, but you see it. There are still Menlas on the shore, and they are very sensitive to the presence of our troops. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will go ashore directly, and if we go ashore, there will be many problems, we will need to spend a lot of money to buy arms to gain a foothold in this place, and the time, materials, and logistical assistance required are all astronomical. This is extremely bad for us. Sima Zhuang, the captain of the Flame, shook his head and said. He has considered the problem after the war, and it is definitely not good for them after the war, because if the war starts, a lot of financial assistance will be needed, especially the consumption of firearms is a huge problem, they need to be transported here from the distant Chu State, sailing thousands of miles, and it is extremely inconvenient to start a war, and they do not have an advantage in numbers, and all kinds of circumstances have to make him reconsider the current situation.

"That's right, no matter how powerful our artillery is, it can't kill many people, and if we can't stand our ground, this problem will be difficult to solve." Yu Lun said. He was the captain of the artillery of the Flying Eagle, and he commanded the firing of the cannons, and although the artillery was a particularly lethal weapon, they did not dare to act rashly in the face of the outnumbered Benglas, because if they did not get it right, no one could stay in this place. They need something that costs the least and reaps the most benefits.

"What should I do?" The Flame Deputy Division Commander said.

"The only way we can do it is to deal with them, or we can buy some land." At this time, the division commander proposed such a method.

"Do we have the money? Buying artillery, and getting more ships on board has drained all of our homes. Sima Zhuang said.

"Well, there's nothing we can do." Li Man shook his head and said.

"Oh, you're all here." At this time, Fan He, a merchant from the Chu State, came in and said.

"What are you doing here?" Li Man was very disgusted with this Chu businessman, because this guy often traded shoddy.

"Oh. This time, I came to buy some arms, and by the way, I recruited a few people, and I already have a large piece of land. Fan smiled lightly.

"What? Spending money on a chunk? Sima Zhuang asked in a contemptuous tone.

"Hehe, do you still need to buy this?" Fan said with a relaxed smile.

"I can get those lands with a few pieces of silk. Tell you. Fan said with a smile.

"The lord of Bangladesh is very fond of the silk I provide them, this silk is in this kind of place, don't look at the water, but damp, their cloth, it is very inconvenient to use, you can become very easy with silk, silk is needed here too much. Silk is not profitable in Chu State, but it is very important here. Fan said.

"I still have to discuss some things with you, as long as you return to Chu and bring back a large amount of silk, I will give you land, women, and gold, there is a lot of gold here." Fan said ostentatiously.

"Is this guy sick?" Xiang Zi scolded, he couldn't see the face of a profiteer like a businessman the most. Because he knew that the situation of the other party was like this, they once bought the arms provided by the other party, because the price was cheap, but when they bought it, they found that the propellant of the shells was damp and could not be used at all, and most of the worst bullets were rusty. Some firearms were simply eliminated by the Qin army and the Chu army, and because of the long-term lack of maintenance, they had to be scrapped. They paid for a bunch of rags, so they hated the merchants.

"What you said is true?" Sima Zhuang asked.

"Of course. The favorite thing in Bangladesh is silk, you see. Their aristocrats like it very much, and have already submitted a large number of orders, and I am about to make a fortune. Got rich. The Lord of Bangladesh is very happy today, and he has rewarded me with a very large piece of land, and the land is so frightening that I need people, and I need a lot of people to cultivate it. Fan He said excitedly.

At a time when everyone was emigrating with labor tools, seeds, and various daily necessities, only Fan He was alone with silk and mirrors imported from the Qin State, which was not expensive, but there were few things, and he felt that when he arrived in a new place, he would definitely make a fortune. So, he kept holding it.

After coming here, he immediately found the locals, actively studied the local words, sent a little silk to buy the people around the king, and then presented silk to the king, Bangladesh was originally humid and rainy, in humid weather, the cotton cloth used by the locals was extremely sticky, and the use effect was not very good, while silk could be breathable, and most importantly, it could be smooth, which was the most needed commodity for the nobles. In addition, there is such a thing as a mirror, which is very angry. The concubines given to the king were also very needed, so Fan He was appreciated by the king at once, and gave a large piece of land, which made the captains who were actively planning to seize the other party's land by force feel very helpless. Because the other party only used the silk that was very cheap in the Chu State, and they actually got what they wanted the most.

"In addition, some of your muskets also give me some, these things are not available in Bangladesh at all, so it is the most cost-effective deal to sell them, and the gold here, forget it. I didn't say. Saying that, Fan suddenly realized. He seems to have told the secret of his money. Some regret it. Regret that you shouldn't be so big-mouthed, why do you say so much? As long as he does it well, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and he won't say anything more. Then he left in a hurry.

"Did you hear that?" Sima Zhuang said.

"What?" Li Man asked.

"This guy is the real way to make money, we spend a lot of money and may not be able to take things, let him get a few pieces of broken silk. This guy is really fucking a businessman. Sima Zhuang scolded. But there are a lot of praises in the tone, because the other party did what they wanted to do but did not do, for example, they wanted to obtain the other party, and they didn't think of using silk at all, because this thing is not applicable, and it is not as strong and durable as the cloth of the blended material of the Qin State, and things like silk are not applicable to them, but it is this kind of inapplicable, there are more things in the Chu State, since they have exchanged a lot of land here, the most polite thing is that he can also get a lot of gold.

"There must be a lot of gold here, and we cannons are not enough to fight the Mengla, so we might as well go back to China and load a lot of silk, tea, and guns and bring it over, in this case, we will make a fortune." Sima Zhuang said excitedly.

"But when we go back, it's an empty boat, we can't do that." Xiang Zi said.

"It's very simple, people are the most needed, we can arrest people, men can't, women can too, people can sell for money anyway, Qin people need people, Koreans also need people, catch them, no matter how many they catch." Sima Zhuang decided to arrive.

"Okay, we'll sell the weapons in our hands today, and then quickly buy people, and then ship them back." Others have decided. In this way, the Chu people opened the door to the market of the Indians in a very unintentional move. And the market is extremely vast and attractive, because there is a large population, gold, almost all the wealth, and the Indian aristocracy needs a lot of luxury. In addition, weapons of war must be needed, because they can bring a sense of security, and if a war breaks out between them, it can be extremely fierce. This is what they want to see the most, and there is another by-product of war, prisoners of war, and they are the biggest source of slaves, with whom they can sell more silk.
