578 Protocol

"Chief, these things are too deep, we don't understand, you can look at it." Hu Hansan finally represented the meaning of the other generals and said a little helplessly.

Originally, I thought it was a simple thing similar to credit, but when the chief asked, there must be a lot of Taoism here, and if you don't understand it, you don't want to think about it.

Hu Guang didn't test them either, and nodded directly and explained: "For now, the real scope of influence of the Heavenly Army in the Guannei is actually only in northern Shaanxi, south to Yan'an Mansion, and east to Baode and Suide. Although there have been many efforts, the influence of other places is limited by factors such as transportation. ”

When he said this, he slowly glanced at the generals present, and said seriously: "In this mutual market, the Ming Kingdom allows us to go to the customs to trade, which is a good opportunity for us to call the Heavenly Army, a good opportunity to expand our influence, expand our popularity, and spread everything called the Heavenly Army as far as possible." This is conducive to allowing our concept to influence the rest of the Ming Kingdom first, and we call the Heavenly Army to reduce the difficulty of seizing the world in the future......"

When Hu Guang described this, the example of the future generations flashed in his mind, the seeds of revolution were sprinkled all over the land of Kyushu, and the revolutionary pennant pointed out, and the people everywhere responded in groups.

Speaking of which, the people in all parts of the Ming Kingdom are also living in dire straits, and a little natural and man-made disaster is the end of breaking the family. The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, the greed of the officials is dissatisfied, and human life is as cheap as a dog, or even worse than a dog, and it is even more ferocious than that of later generations.

Although it was hundreds of years earlier than later generations, Hu Guang believed that the truth was the same. When people can't survive, when they see a glimmer of hope that they can live well, they will firmly grasp it. Not to mention dedicating one's life for others, at least one will take the lives of others for the sake of one's own life.

In the past, Hu Guang has also been working hard and laying out for this aspect. For example, the capture policy of the Heavenly Army, the layout of intelligence officers, and so on. It was all for the purpose of conveying the message of the Heavenly Army to the people everywhere.

But at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the traffic was still inconvenient. Most of the people only live within a radius of a few dozen miles in their lifetime. Only businessmen have the opportunity to go north and south.

And now, the imperial court has sent such an unexpected opportunity, how can Hu Guang not be happy!

After he explained a little about the benefits of the "credit" of the lower court. The meeting ended and immediately began to sort out the upcoming negotiations with the trilateral governor Chen Qiyu.

A few days later, Hu Guang formally negotiated back and forth with Chen Qiyu, who had arrived. Because he knew in advance that the people of the late Ming Dynasty did not have a deep understanding of the "credit" practice of the imperial court, he used negotiation skills, intimidation and threats, and finally added dates to basically reach an agreement.

The main demands of the two sides are as follows: on the side of the imperial court, it is required to call the Heavenly Army to supply as many Heavenly Bombardment Cannons, Heavenly Thunder and Flintlock Guns as possible, and to hire people from the Heavenly Army to help them fight the prisoners. In addition, there are materials such as cement and colorless glass. It is also required to be as cheap as possible.

Hu Guang's final reply was that the most powerful weapons such as the Bombardment Divine Cannon, the Bombardment Divine Thunder, and the Fusilier Pistol could be given, but in the first transaction, the Bombardment Divine Cannon was given at most ten, each with five Bombardment Divine Thunder, and the flintlock pistol could be given fifty pieces.

However, the number of Heavenly Troops is too small, and there is no manpower to send them to Funing at present. As for the use of these firearms, the imperial court can send people to learn them. Let the heavenly army be willing to teach.

But the precondition is that the imperial court must agree to the condition of calling the heavenly army, that is, it can be paid on credit. But the caravan sent by the Heavenly Army must be safe, and if something happens, it must be held accountable. If the caravan called the Heavenly Army made a mistake, it could be repatriated to Yulin, and the Heavenly Army would severely punish it, and the Ming State had no right to deal with it.

In addition, if you don't give me business in the rich Jiangnan, then other places must be opened, right? Otherwise, it will be a poor place in Shaanxi. Then it's better not to do this business!

For this, Hu Guang's explanation is that if he does not do this, I am afraid that the merchants who call the Heavenly Army will not be willing to go to the unsafe Ming Kingdom to do business, so that the Heavenly Army will not be able to collect taxes. The sale of arms to the Ming Kingdom would be a big loss, and a loss-making business must not be done.

As for cement, after Hu Guang's description, it has also become a semi-military material, at least on the front line of Funing, when building a military defense line, the effect of using cement is not to be said.

In order to show the sincerity of calling the heavenly army, as long as the imperial court comes to Yulin to pick it up, it will be calculated at the cheapest price. Correspondingly, merchants called the Heavenly Army can buy any materials in the Ming Kingdom, and the Ming Kingdom must not interfere. Otherwise, I asked the Heavenly Army to sell you all the killer weapons, are you embarrassed to interfere?

If the cooperation is pleasant, then the second arms business can be continued, and when the heavenly army is free in the future, it is not impossible to even send troops to Liaodong.

Of course, if the imperial court imitates the killer weapon called the Heavenly Army, this is an infringement and it will lose money. At least Hu Guang brought up this matter in advance, and popularized the concept of infringement to Chen Qiyu, the trilateral governor of the Ming Kingdom, saying that the Heavenly Army has this rule, and as for whether the imperial court finally imitates it or not, it can't be controlled for the time being.

Finally, in order to allow the two sides to communicate better in a timely manner, it is best to send emissaries to each other. The imperial court sent people to Yulin and asked the Heavenly Army to send people to Beijing.

After Chen Qiyu got the cheapest price of cement and glass in private, he basically did not argue with Hu Guang one by one. After his Jinshi-level writing, he once again sent the agreement between the two sides to Jingshi with an expedited eight hundred miles.

In this urgent report, there is a very detailed account, that is, how many arms and materials the Heavenly Army sells to the imperial court, and after the preferential discount, it is calculated as the merchant tax silver that the Heavenly Army wants to collect, and how much business the merchant has to do and how many times the transaction can be completed.

It is easy to see from the urgent report that the imperial court has made a lot of money. There is only one article, the exchange of envoys, the court is more controversial. Because in this way, it is tantamount to recognizing that the Heavenly Army is an independent country. Many people are jealous of a thief in their country who has made such an achievement.

However, such examples are not uncommon, in the sphere of influence called the Heavenly Army, the Western Xia was also independent from the Song rebellion in the past, but the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty were mostly fighting. Of course, Western Xia did not call the Heavenly Army generous, and he could sell all the killer weapons.

In the court of Jingshi, after several days of arguing, a tacit understanding was finally reached. This exchange of envoys was dispensed with, on the grounds that there was no need for communication. Ask the Heavenly Army to ask the merchant to ask, and I can agree to it; As for the things you call the Heavenly Army, I can see these things, so that's it.

The whole court, including Emperor Chongzhen, also hid a careful thought, and when he eased up, he would use your killer weapon to destroy you, a thief, when he had the strength to do so. (To be continued.) )
