Chapter 230: The Arms Trade

With the imperial generals of the officer trainee phalanx taking uniform and firm and powerful steps, slowly along the Vermilion Bird Avenue through the Vermilion Gate Tower of the Imperial City, followed by the phalanx composed of all the military branches of the Great Song Empire except artillery, passing in front of the city gate in turn, and with the passage of these phalanxes, the atmosphere of the entire National Day ceremony was pushed to a climax by all the people and officials who observed

After the end of the column, followed by the portraits of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, along with the various floats after the portraits, all kinds of juggling and performances on the floats, it is also a dreadiness for the people to see

After the end of the day, in the evening, the court artists such as the Great Music Department and some of the most famous folk troupes performed for all the people, so that the joy lasted until the next morning

All the activities of the National Day Ceremony were held for a total of seven days, and on the second day of the ceremony, Zhao Xu received all the foreign envoys who came to participate in the ceremony, as is customary, but there are also unconventional, such as the Uighur State of Xichang and the Khanate of the Eastern Khanate

The rumbling forward carriage was filled with people, and this carriage was specially built according to Zhao Xu's wishes, and six tall horses used to pull the carriage dragged an elongated eight-wheeled carriage, which naturally sat Zhao Xu, the prolific Uighur envoys, and the envoys of the Eastern Kera Khanate, and their target was the forbidden army camp outside the city of Bianliang

"Your Majesty the Great Heavenly Khan, can we really buy your Great Song Dynasty's high-grade armaments?" On the way to the camp of the forbidden army, Gan Badu, the envoy of the Eastern Kera Khanate, was the first to ask

"Of course, our three countries are a country of brothers, brothers are in trouble, and I, Da Song, as a brother, naturally want to help you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhao Xu said with an oath

"We want to buy artillery, and I beg His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to agree." Ahu Maier, the envoy of the Uighur Khanate of Xichang, suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Xu and said pleadingly

"Artillery? We don't have a fully equipped army ourselves, so how can we sell it to you? Also, don't worry, when you arrive at the destination, you take your time to look and choose, and I think that you will have a lot of good choices at that time. "These two guys actually said they wanted to buy artillery? This is really an international joke, needless to say that the current number of artillery is not enough to equip the entire army of the Great Song Empire, even if there is a surplus of artillery, Zhao Xu will not sell them, like artillery, which is currently the ultimate weapon that can affect the outcome of the war, how can Zhao Xu sell it to other countries

"Your Majesty, Great Heavenly Khan, didn't you say that all our weapons can be bought?" Gan Ba of the Eastern Kera Khanate said to Zhao Xu with some embarrassment

"It's not that I don't sell it to you, one or two cannons will not play any role on the battlefield at all, but will become the object of your key protection, and your soldiers will not use artillery in the first place, just training artillery gunners requires countless ammunition and training day and night, maybe you have the money to train your ten, twenty, or even a hundred soldiers to become excellent gunners, but do you have the money to make you a thousand, or even ten thousand soldiers to become excellent gunners? To decide the victory of a war, you must have more than 20,000 gunners to cooperate with each other on various battlefields. Therefore, everything must be done according to our own national conditions. ”

Zhao Xu's words were seven points true and three points false, and what he said really couldn't let these two people not believe it, so our envoy Ganbadu from the Eastern Kera Khanate and the envoy of Ahumar from the Uighurs of Gaochang could only sit back in their seats helplessly and bow their heads in contemplation after listening to the words of His Majesty the Heavenly Khan

"Artillery naturally can't be sold to you, but we can still sell you a lot of other weapons, for example, bed crossbows, three-bed crossbows, return guns and other heavy weapons, you can buy them, and even, if your financial resources are enough, you can even take the production drawings of these weapons." Zhao Xu said

"Is this true? Can we really buy these weapons? The two envoys said in disbelief

"Of course you can buy these weapons, because these weapons are very sufficient in our Great Song Dynasty equipment, so you can buy them with confidence, and even if these weapons are broken in use or have some conditions, your craftsmen with the army can repair them immediately, and you can quickly put them into new battles again, and besides, our Great Song Dynasty sabers, spears, bows and crossbows, you can also buy them." These eliminated heavy weapons, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu naturally doesn't care whether they will flow into other countries, and these wooden heavy weapons are not the only ones in this world that the Great Song Dynasty will build, so even if Zhao Xu doesn't sell these weapons to them today, they will also get these weapons through other means, so Zhao Xu simply does a favor and sells these weapons to them, and the price is not too low, because human beings always don't know how to cherish those things that are easy to get. If Zhao Xu had said that he had given them the weapons and the drawings of their craft, the two envoys might even think that Zhao Xu was teasing them, or throwing the garbage they didn't want

Seeing that Gan Badu and Ah Hu Maier couldn't help but be excited, Zhao Xu added to them and said: "Two, do you know that in addition to this artillery, what is the secret weapon that my country conquered the two countries of Jinliao back then?" ”

"This ...... The ministers really don't know, and ask His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to make it clear. ”

"This secret weapon, our Great Song Empire calls it a grenade, ignited with a fire breaker, and then thrown out by the soldiers, within five steps, all animals are absolutely either dead or injured," Zhao Xu ignored the surprised expressions of the two, and continued: "The range of this grenade is not as far as the artillery, and the power is not as great as the artillery, but it is easy to operate in this grenade, the price is cheap, the price of a grenade is only five silver dollars, you buy 100,000 grenades, when the two armies charge, after igniting, and then throw them out vigorously, hehehe, two." Think about how many enemy lives these 100,000 grenades can be exchanged for. Zhao Xu's voice was like a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that lured Adam and Eve to steal the holy fruit, more like a light feather, and the tips of their hearts were constantly stirring (to be continued). )
