In the Jin merchant who left the ammunition depot, the man at the head was sitting in his carriage, looking at the painter in front of him who was sketching topographic maps and recording various positions on the white shirt he was wearing, and asked softly: "These are all the things we want to take out and sell for money, but have they all been recorded?" ”

The old painter nodded, put down the pen in his hand, exhaled lightly at the map, and replied lightly: "It's done!" Although this place is extremely secret, because of your relationship with General Lu, they didn't take us around or blindfold us...... is old and talented, relying on this ability to recognize the way and distinguish the direction, he has lived for most of his life. ”

The leader of this Jin merchant is named Zhang Baiting, his family is full of wealth, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and he is almost the same among the Jin merchants, and he is a figure who is not afraid of heaven and earth. In his early years, he took the road of Mongolia to Liaoshen and sold horses for profit. After the Jin State Incident, this person hooked up with the high-level officials of the Jin State, sold intelligence, smuggled arms, and doubled his worth to almost monopolize half of the commercial country in the Far East.

Jin was able to get the inside information of the Ming Empire's dispatch of troops, obtain all kinds of resources, and even find a way to drag the Ming Dynasty army on the Jiliao front, and finally helped the Jin State to succeed in the rebellion and form the current situation in Liaodong.

If you ask the Jin Shang Group what is the reason why it is so enthusiastic to support the Jin State and fight against its motherland, the Ming Dynasty? This has to be analyzed from the essence of the merchants - the original market of the Jin merchants was not in China, but in Siberia and the Middle East, and the rise of the Jin merchants was based on the advantage of geographical connection with Central Asia, and the final decline was due to the loss of these colonies by the Ming Dynasty.

Having lost the market and the opportunity to plunder cheap resources, the Jinshang Group could not compete with the Jiangnan Merchant Group, which had a solid market in Southeast Asia. This also means that these businessmen, who control huge capital, will gradually lose their right to speak in the court, and eventually fall into the dust of history.

In order to save the end of their own destruction, the Jin Shang group seized the opportunity of the Jin rebellion and tried to make the entire Northeast region chaotic...... Once the Jin Kingdom became an inextinguishable existence of the Ming Dynasty, the area controlled by the Jin merchants would be able to take advantage of its geographical advantages to connect the Mongolian Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, and once again become a vital commercial hub.

It sounds like a bunch of traitorous profiteers, but they themselves have a certain understanding and exculpation: Zhang Baiting believes that he is planning a change, a political investment similar to that of Lübwe's Qili. I don't think that I betrayed my motherland, and I don't think there's anything wrong with Ye Hehaolian who helped the Jin country. He even comforted himself that Ye Hehaolian or Zhu Changle were already Chinese, and it was just an internal war, not a national war.

As long as the Son of Heaven still speaks Chinese, uses Chinese characters, and practices Han rituals, the world will naturally still be Han - and he, the minister of Conglong, who supports the Son of Heaven, will naturally have a permanent position, and the Jinshang Group will also become a national businessman and have a more wonderful future.

"The four large secret arsenals nearby have been marked on the map, and the shortfall left by the arms we bought is enough to surprise the front-line army of the Ming Dynasty after the outbreak of the war......" On the carriage, the old spy painter from the Jin Kingdom, after sneering, leaned on the carriage and said proudly: "If you blow up the rest, they can only use bayonets to hit our machine guns!" ”

"But I still have a question, how can Jin Guo get rid of these arms depots that are far outside the range of artillery fire?" Zhang Baiting looked at the old spy of Jin Guo suspiciously, and asked curiously.

The old spy shook his head mysteriously, and replied with a sentence that made Zhang Baiting even more curious: "The new weapons of the Japanese are enough for those fools of the Ming Dynasty to enjoy themselves!" Hahahaha. ”

……

"This thing? Can you really fly? In a secret weapons experimental base in Tangshan, Wang Jue looked at the simple lower monoplane all-metal aircraft in front of him in shock, and exclaimed to the staff around him: "When I was interning in the army, I saw the 'Sky Breaking 1' fighter, but that thing was much thinner than the one in front of me. ”

The airplane was born seven years ago, and was successfully designed by an overseas Chinese living in the United Kingdom, whose ancestors arrived in Europe with the army of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the passage of time, he stayed there and became a local through and through. His design was embraced by the British military, which eventually led to the development of the Queen-1, an extremely fast aircraft with a single wing.

And the first aircraft of the Ming Dynasty was born a year ago, and it was imitated by the kind of upper monoplane fighter Queen 1. In a year, Daming produced a total of 7,000 of these light fighters, known as the "Breaking Sky 1" fighter.

However, as the times progressed, the British had developed a more advanced Queen-2 fighter with better engines, a stronger fuselage, faster and higher speeds, and more powerful weapons. The Ming Dynasty was not willing to be subservient, and developed several very good aircraft, but suffered from the lack of suitable engines, and the progress was slightly slow.

Designer Wilhelm from Germany? Wenger's gasoline engine design concept seems to have opened a window to the Ming Dynasty, and Chinese engineers with a good background easily improved Wenger's design and developed a sexually usable aircraft engine.

Fortunately, there are too many similarities in the design of aircraft engines and automobile engines in this era, which also allows William Wenger's role to be maximized. Wang Jue has now seen what he is pursuing, and it is turning into reality little by little in front of his eyes, and this feeling makes his whole person excited.

"Let the engineers and those workers come up with the designs of the 'Leimu 1' and 'Sky Breaker 2' aircraft as soon as possible, so that I can quickly arrange the production line...... The sky of the Ming Dynasty must be guarded by the Ming Dynasty's own aircraft! Wang Jue looked at the test flight plane that had landed, and instructed the person in charge behind him.

An empire that has been strong for a hundred years, the power and the degree of decay contained in it are very amazing, while some moths are desperately sucking the bone marrow of this empire, another group of people are using their lives to compose an epic of the unyielding will of a nation.
