425 Add to the fire
As soon as the news of the auction of muskets came out, countless mercenaries rushed to Jinan City, and at this moment, the new capital city immediately surged.
"My day, I didn't expect that this small auction would be able to cause such a big storm!" Although Liu Hong has tried to overestimate the attraction of these muskets to the mercenaries. But unexpectedly, he still underestimated the madness of those mercenaries, "But that's fine, at least, these muskets can be sold for a good price!" ”
The auction is being prepared in an orderly manner, but there are many people who can't wait for the auction. They came directly to Liu Hong.
For this situation, Liu Hong has been prepared for a long time. After all, Liu Hong set up mercenaries at the beginning, in order to find someone to go out of the private soldiers of those big families. Therefore, almost all of the large mercenary groups now are those of the big families or important ministers of the court. To many of them, Liu Hong must give them a face.
"Now the total number of muskets replaced is 50,000, and only 20,000 are auctioned. Although there are hunger marketing ideas in it, the most important thing is to deal with these unshirkable favors! ”
In fact, Liu Hong didn't want to release the musket in advance. After all, this will definitely affect the sales of the auction. But in such a humane society, Liu Hong had no other way but to grit his teeth and send them away.
"No, thousands of guns were sent out this time, and my horse club will definitely be greatly affected!"
suffered such a big loss for no reason, how could Liu Hong be willing. He desperately pondered how to make up for these losses.
"These losses can only be made up by those who attend the auction. And then you have to make them even crazier. It seems that I am the time. Add fuel to the fire for them! Thinking of this, Liu Hong brought Cao Cao and Sun Jian over, "Alas, I didn't want you to set off so early, but now, in order to add some confidence to those mercenaries, I can only let you go to work now!" ”
Liu Hong was pondering, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, who came in a hurry, stood respectfully in front of Liu Hong after saluting. Waiting for Liu Hong's orders.
"Cao Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, how is the training of your troops, have you adapted to all those new equipment?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the new musket is easier to handle than the previous one. Therefore, I have to familiarize myself with it a little. The soldiers have completely mastered it! ”
"That's good. That's good! Hearing that the training of the soldiers had been completed, Liu Hong was completely relieved, "Two Aiqing, through your extermination of the Funan Kingdom and the capture of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two thieves, I know that both of you are great talents." And it just so happens that you have done a great job again. Therefore, I will crown you as governors, and let you go beyond the territory and use your talents to the fullest! ”
All threats in Dahan have long been removed. Therefore, Cao Cao and Sun Jian both knew quite well that they would not do anything at all in the territory of the Han Dynasty. And now, Liu Hong has asked them to be governors, one in charge of the southwest and the other in the northwest, which is just right for them to play to their heart's content. Therefore, they were both happy and grateful that they had been made governors.
"Your Majesty, your kindness, Weichen and others really can't be repaid by death. I can only try my best to benefit the people of Dahan after arriving in the jurisdiction, so as to repay His Majesty's kindness! ”
Hearing that the two of them showed their loyalty to him, Liu Hong was still very happy, picked up the big seal of the Governor's Mansion and handed it to Cao Cao, picked up the big seal of the Guishuang Governor's Mansion, handed it to Sun Jian, and then said: "That's okay, now that your soldiers have finished training, you definitely can't wait to take office, then I won't stay with you for a long time!" ”
After receiving the big seal, Cao Cao and Sun Jian almost jumped up happily, and hurriedly thanked Liu Hong.
"Do you two know what to do when you get to the job?" Although the two are smart, Liu Hong has unified arrangements for those places, and now that the two are about to take office, he will definitely want to transfer them.
Both of them were in the army, and they must have known that Liu Hong had already been planning a new round of conquest. And where the two of them went, that was the point, and that's why they're so happy. However, since they knew that Liu Hong had already made arrangements, and now that they were asking like this, of course they didn't dare to talk nonsense, but honestly asked Liu Hong for advice.
"Both of you know that a new round of conquest is about to begin. And the two of you are the leaders of this campaign. Looking at the excited two, Liu Hong said again: "However, this campaign, unlike the past, is not mainly based on expanding territory, but on colonization. It is to plunder resources in other countries as much as possible for our Han to use, and you are to ensure the smooth implementation of this! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, when we arrive in the jurisdiction, we will definitely look for opportunities as soon as possible to plunder the local resources!"
"No, you still don't understand what I mean, you don't understand what colonization means!" As he spoke, Liu Hong began to explain to them, "Plundering local resources is not your main task, your main task is to ensure that others can plunder smoothly." ”
"Ah, the others, who are they?" Hearing Liu Hong's words, the two of them were a little confused.
"The others are the merchants and mercenaries who went there." Looking at the two people who were puzzled, Liu Hong said: "You also know about the 'privateer certificate' that is rumored among the mercenaries now, right?" That's a move I made for colonization, to let the mercenaries lead the raid, and your main task is to make sure that those mercenaries are not bullied. Moreover, this is also a reason for you to go to war with those countries and find a past that you can explain to the world! ”
Both of them are smart people, and as soon as Liu Hong said this, they completely understood. And in this way, they admired Liu Hong even more.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will definitely work hard to complete the task!"
"Well, I am very relieved of the abilities of the two of you. I believe that the two of you can complete the task well! With that, Liu Hong explained to the two of them some things they needed to pay attention to.
Early the next morning, the two of them ordered the team at the point field and wanted to set off. At this time, Zhao Yun ran to the palace and woke up Liu Hong, who was sleeping lazily.
"Xiao Zhaoyun, what is the matter with you coming to me so early?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go out with this team, I hope Your Majesty can allow it!"
"Ah, how did you think that you were going to set off with the army?" Hearing this, Liu Hong was very curious.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has been learning martial arts for so many years in order to serve His Majesty. But now, all of Wechen's senior brothers have joined the army, and the soldiers have made great contributions, but Wechen has done everything and has not contributed anything to His Majesty, which makes Wechen very ashamed, so please give Wechen a chance to serve Your Majesty! ”
Hearing this, Liu Hong knew that he had all made great contributions to those senior brothers who saw him, and he was a little breathless.
For Zhao Yun, Liu Hong is quite fond of it, and for this reason, he even made an exception and named Zhao Yun in the Yulin Army, and waited for him to take office after he left the school. Now that he saw Zhao Yun taking the initiative to go on the expedition, he was even more happy.
Actually, for Zhao Yun, Liu Hong already has an arrangement. After all, it is difficult for a person who practices martial arts to achieve much without being tempered on the battlefield. Therefore, he already planned to let Zhao Yun go into battle to sharpen himself in this battle. However, Liu Hong's arrangement was not to let him go to those colonies. Rather, I wanted him to be a pioneer when he went out to attack those places that needed to be occupied. But now that Zhao Yun has proposed it himself, and his senior brothers are also in this team, Liu Hong has agreed to his request.
Hearing that Liu Hong agreed, Xiao Zhao Yun was overjoyed and happily went to chase Cao Cao's army. And at this time, the mercenaries who had already set off for Sabbath and Kushan had already set out, and it was complete madness.
"Have you heard, Your Majesty not only established the Governor's Mansion in the Sabbath Empire, sending 25,000 people, but also established the Governor's Mansion in the Kushan Empire, and sent 15,000 people."
"Of course I heard!" Hearing the question, the man said excitedly: "Now it's okay, I thought that even if we applied for that security card, it would be very difficult to use it." After all, there are no troops in those places. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty actually thought of our front, and sent troops to our mercenary gathering place in advance. ”
"Ahem, who is our majesty, when did he do anything to fool our people. So, I've always been relieved about that. I didn't expect Your Majesty to act so fast, and directly set up the Governor's Mansion in Guishan and Anxi, and now, we are completely guaranteed! ”
"Isn't it, there are so many military protections, let's go outside in the future, it will be completely insured, and now it seems that this security certificate is promising, we must apply for one!"
Anxi and Kushan were all great powers at that time, plus Rome and the Han Dynasty, they were the four great empires at that time. This is also Liu Hong's crossing, and the Han Dynasty left the other three countries far behind. But even that doesn't hide their sheer size. Therefore, without the protection of the army, those mercenaries of the Han Dynasty would not dare to be too presumptuous in these big countries. But now, the big men are serious, and they will no longer have any fear under the protection of the army.
The effectiveness of the "privateer warrant" is guaranteed, how can those mercenaries not be crazy. Therefore, all the mercenaries mobilized all their forces and waited for the auction to take place. (To be continued.) )
