Chapter 297: Buying and Selling Weapons
If Mu Zhijing wants to play such a word game, Yi Zhengqi has time anyway, and he will definitely play with him. [Ran^Text^Library] But it is absolutely impossible for him to become obedient from these few commands. Yi Zhengqi's psychological quality doesn't know to what extent, no matter what he does, he thinks he is right and takes it for granted.
In Yi Zhengqi's dictionary, the war between the two countries is the business of all the people of the two countries. Why rely only on the army? And the civilians are guarding their property and are not willing to pay? Since you are not willing to give your life, give your possessions. If you don't want to, then I'm here to help. Therefore, Yi Zhengqi was harvesting frantically in disguise, like a behemoth devouring all kinds of materials.
Every day, the strongholds of the Asagata Army in every city are horrifically gathering intelligence and financial resources. In this way, Yi Zhengqi has enough confidence and strength to resist the next battles. Otherwise, you can't eat enough, wear a pair of rotten straw sandals, and shout to protect the empire, who will send you to death with you?
What the Chaoge Army did really made the prison army and the expeditionary force love and hate. The Senate army was no longer visible, and the envoy of the Senate came to find Yi Zhengqi.
It is a very pleasing face, and his face is full of meaty little fat man. He first met with Yi Zhengqi, and then said a flattering and polite word. When he was down to business, he was very tactful, and he turned around: "Time has been going on since the Chaoge army arrived in Heilun Province, and our army has been busy and has not had time to visit friendly troops, which is really ashamed." However, everyone is marching and fighting, and it is certainly forgivable that this matter is easy to levy. The province of Helen is a very important province in my Far Eastern Empire. That's why I'm going to send 200,000 troops to this place. Defend the throat of the Empire. β
Yi Zhengqi naturally knew that there was absolutely nothing good about the matter with the Senate, he glanced at the envoy, but said happily: "Okay, good." Our Chaoge army is a militia, and it is already difficult to defend this Heilun Province. If we can get the regular army of the Empire to come and garrison us, then we will feel much more at ease. When you send troops, I will hand over the province of Herun to you at once. I led my troops back to the province of Horse Husbandry to guard. We echo from end to end, join forces, drive the beast soldiers out of the empire, return my rivers and mountains, long live the Senate, long live His Majesty Kayun. β
The messenger said, "General Yi, you don't have to be like this. We're just a garrison, and you're still guarding everything here. β
Nonsense, the Chaoge army is gone, whoever can take over the stronghold they created single-handedly will definitely follow and withdraw, and the people will be empty. In fact, it's not that the Senate army is not like replacing the Chaoge army, there is really no way, they haven't fought a decent battle. It doesn't have the same prestige as the Song Army.
"Our 200,000 troops have come to assist your Chaoge army." The messenger did not blush at all, as if he had not even noticed that he was talking about the "regular army" assisting the "militia".
"We are in charge of the guards, fighting the orcs. Of course, because of the assistance of the Senate army, the military expenses for the training on weekdays need to be paid by the Asaka army. β
Yi Zheng's eyes widened, thinking: Damn, there are people who are even more shameless than Lao Tzu. I want Lao Tzu to help you raise 200,000 troops, but you are still so ashamed. Yi Zhengqi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled heartily: "Yes!" No problem. β
The messenger was startled, as if he had heard it wrong, and his eyebrows fluttered: "Really? Haha, I didn't expect General Yi to be so easy to speak. Isn't it what it seems? Oh, it really feels like seeing each other late! β
"Really? Me too. When will your Senate army come? I'll get our officers ready to prepareβ"
"Soon, after all, this is military, and there can be no delay, eh? General, what did you just mean by getting your officers ready to prepare? β
As if he was saying something inconsequential, Yi Zhengqi woke up and said, "Oh, that's it. Since we are in charge of your army's military expenses. Naturally, the officer will have to use our Asaka Army. Rest assured, we're just a change of officer. At the rank of captain or above, no matter the principal or vice-president, one round will be changed. I've just calculated that it's only about 2,000 people. How long do you Senate troops plan to be stationed? It will take more than three months, too little time will not be enough. β
The envoy's face changed, after the 200,000 troops were pulled to the province of Heilun, all the officers were replaced, and the, even the captain level was not spared. Led by their officers of the Song Army for three months, is that still a deal? When the time comes, will this army still be the army of the senators? I'm afraid I'll have to change my name to the Song Army. No way. Absolutely not.
"General Yi, there is no need to trouble you Chaoge Army in this matter. You just need to provide military expenses. β
"No, how can this work. The terrain of Helen Province is complex, and our Chaoge Army has a powerful combat system and different training methods. It is definitely possible to train the Senate army into a second Asaga army. Can't you still trust me? Everybody allies? I'm wondering if 200,000 is a little less. Otherwise, you can bring 300,000 yuan over. I happen to have a batch of officers idle. β
That night, the messenger ran away without even eating dinner. Even the Senate can't get any benefits from the Asagaku. Other military departments are even more difficult.
But our general Yi Zhengqi will not look at everyone sad, he began to take the initiative to communicate with the bosses of various military departments, he hoped: "We all belong to friendly forces, we have common enemies, and our enemies are all Gale Empires." Our army is willing to pay a large amount of war funds to your army, and I wish your army more and more courage in the war and recover the lost land as soon as possible. In order not to hold your army back, I also hope that your army can give us some weapons and equipment for the militia who bravely resisted. β
These words were all written by Yi Zhengqi himself, but when they came to the intelligence officers of various military departments, they invariably translated them into one sentence: "The Chaoge Army asked us to buy weapons." This was followed by a long list given by the Asaga. Even many weapons have been marked with the number, marked with "Urgent!" "This one was shipped on time!"
Even Mu Zhijing, the governor of the overseer army in charge of the armaments, received this list. She gritted her teeth: "I'm guarding weapons, will I be guarding and stealing?" Not sold. Yi Zhengqi, you actually openly bought and sold weapons, a capital crime. β
But this "capital crime" has not been announced for a long time. Because the nature of the Asagaku Army is different. He was a higher rank than the "militia", and he had received a regular summoning order when he came to the province of Helen, and it was Mu Zhijing herself who issued this order. If you call me here, I'm considered legitimate. Then I'll give you some military expenses, and you give me some weapons, which is also reasonable, right?
Anyway, many bosses are starting to step on this gray area anyway.
It stands to reason that the military departments are not so poor as to sell weapons, and they still have some money. Once the state of war is reached, all military salaries are halved, and most of the Empire's financial expenditures will be allocated to military spending. Unfortunately, unfortunately. Today's Youdu can be said to be paralyzed.
Even His Majesty Kayun is no longer in the Hidden Capital. Being ruled by that Prince of Chu on his behalf, this ruling is not so simple. His Majesty Kayun is also shrewd, your group of forbidden troops turned out to be a group of white-eyed wolves, and even I turned against me. He scolded a few words, and even the jade seal ran away. Moreover, except for the forbidden army, all the chancellors of the exchequer, the foreign minister, etc., the logistics department, and the various military and political departments are all close associates of His Majesty Kayun. Together, they are no small force.
The two sides continue to confront each other, and the forbidden army rules the capital on the surface, but in fact they can't even transfer their next month's salary. However, the forbidden army cannot openly rebel, and whoever does not obey will be killed. Because Mu Zhijing is still there, if she is in a hurry, Mu Zhijing pulls the army to kill back, and the forbidden army has nowhere to hide.
Back and forth, it is these front-line confrontation armies that suffer. There are wolves and tigers in front, and there will be fires in the backyard. Their salaries disappeared every day. The orcs are only a little resting now, not to mention the battle wounds and death subsidies every day before. Even next month's military pay will not be paid. If it weren't for the call on a group of civilians to hold on, eating would have been a problem.
To fight a war is to fight people, and at the same time to fight money.
The price of Yi Zheng is very tempting, and these are not his money anyway. He is not heartbroken, if he can buy a batch of streamer armor and a batch of war knives back, that is the real capital. He not only used gold coins and silver tickets to buy, but also bartered. He used all the 200,000 war horses he had obtained in the Eastern Great Wilderness and the Sea of Grass. Part was assigned to the army, and part was used for transportation.
But the Eastern Great Wilderness Grass Sea is not only this war horse, they have a lot of them. Even the biggest rancher hasn't even sold a horse. And their war horses are the most strong, known as "unicorn war horses".
Keep the good things yourself, and if you finish picking them, then go and exchange them for what you lack.
Soon, the first arms deal was concluded. It is the loveliest army of senators, some of them have weapons, and what they lack is money. Because they have only recently formed another army of 500,000 protectors. The two armies combined are a million before and after. To raise an army of a million, even the Senate felt difficult. They can get the weapons in the Royal Artisan City, but they can't get the gold coins in the treasury. What's more, it is not clear whether there are gold coins left in the treasury.
The transaction was completed quickly and smoothly. Immediately after the second order, the third order of business began.
In the process, a special name caught Yi Zhengqi's attention. When he saw this name, Yi Zheng's eyes jumped. It was as if the long-hidden hatred was slowly rising. It was also the first time he had turned down a deal.
"The Second Snow Division of the Expeditionary Force, An'Ou Division, I haven't seen you for a long time. It turns out that you are still alive. At that time, we will have to settle our accounts. β
