Chapter 508: Tartar in the Set

At the same time, it was located in a deep mansion in a compound in the northeast corner of the capital. Dozens of well-equipped guards, with vigilant faces, meeting in the compound to patrol and be on alert......

With such a heavily guarded courtyard, as long as a person knows that there must be some ulterior secrets in the compound in front of him......

That's right, at this moment, in a room in the compound, several Tartars dressed as Han people are sitting around a Tartar who is also dressed as a Han person, and at a glance, there is not much difference at all......

Seeing this, many people will ask. In the case of hostility between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, how could there be Tartars in the city of Beijing, which was the capital division of the Ming Dynasty?

What everyone didn't expect was that at this moment in Beijing City, there are not only Tartars, but also a large number of Tartars. It's just that these Tartars are hiding in Beijing City, where the Ming Dynasty's capital division is located, in various identities, and are engaged in espionage activities that are very beneficial to the Later Jin.

And the heavily guarded compound in front of him is the spy headquarters of Houjin in Beijing.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, one of the Tartars dressed as Han people spoke directly: "Lord Belle, the slave has just received the news that after the Haw Par Army auctioned the medicinal materials and animal skins looted from our Houjin at the Huifeng Restaurant, it also auctioned five thousand Suifa muskets that were only equipped by the cavalry of the Haw Par Army......

"The minions thought that this was an opportunity for my Houjin army to be equipped with firearms on a large scale......"

"Although the Great Khan has built muskets for Han use on a large scale in Houjin, for unknown reasons, the muskets we have created are not only not as fast as the rate of fire of the Haw Par Army. And it is not as long as the range of the Haw Par Army. After arriving on the battlefield. Not at all the opponent of the Haw Par Army......"

"And the muskets that the Haw Par Army sold at auction this time. Not only is it powerful, long-range, and fast, but it is also a short-barreled musket that the Haw Par cavalry is now equipping. ”

"If we can get a batch of these fine muskets for the Houjin State and the Great Khan, and equip the most elite cavalry troops of the Houjin. Well, on the battlefield in the future, the cavalry units of the Haw Par Army armed with muskets. It's not my opponent anymore......"

was sent by the Great Khan Emperor Taiji to the Ming Dynasty as an intelligence chief, and did not give himself the opportunity to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions...... In the face of Huang Taiji's arrangement, Lord Belle, who was surrounded by everyone, has been holding a bad breath since he entered the Ming Dynasty......

At the same time, he is also fantasizing about when he will be able to return to Houjin, put on his battle armor, charge forward on the frontal battlefield, and make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy...... Instead of hiding in the Daming Jingshi every day. He can't even reveal his identity as the queen Jin Belle Ye, and he lives in the dark all day long......

Of course. Lord Belle also knew that in the iron-faced and selfless Huang Taiji, his idea could only be thought about, and it was impossible for it to become a reality......

Unless he can regain the capital of the Ming Dynasty and give the Houjin country a battle feat that is enough to make Huang Taiji's heart move, he may not have the opportunity to return to Houjin in his life and restore his identity as the Houjin Belle Lord.

In the face of this cruel reality, as time passes, Lord Belle's idea of returning to Houjin has been invisibly rubbed by various pressures.

Of course, after returning to Houjin's idea, it does not mean that Lord Belle has fallen in love with this kind of job as an intelligence chief. It's that there is no way, it has to be done......

And now, the mention of the subordinates in front of him directly made Belle Ye's hope and idea of wanting to return to Houjin burn again. Under the gaze of several subordinates, a pair of eyes that were still dull just now directly shot out two rays of anticipatory light outward.

A pair of eyes stared at the subordinates in front of him, and asked loudly: What you said is true, the Haw Par Army really bought 5,000 short-barreled muskets equipped with their own cavalry.

At this time, hearing this shocking news that surprised people had to surprise Lord Belle.

Because, looking at the world, everyone knows that the key factor why the Haw Par Army has been invincible all the way and won victory after victory is because of the sharp firearms equipped by the Haw Par Army.

And now, the Haw Par Army has sold its magic weapon to win......

What happened, what was the reason for the Hawpar Army to make such a decision?

However, Lord Baylor, who rekindled his heart to return to Houjin's hope, at this moment, no longer had the heart to think about the reasons for these messes.

At this moment, full of expectations, he was thinking about the feasibility of his subordinates' proposals.

Since Houjin was defeated again and again in the hands of the Haw Par Firearms Unit, the invincible voice of Houjin Iron Riding the world has slowly dissipated in Houjin.

Under such circumstances, in the face of the increasingly powerful Tiger and Leopard Army, the Great Khan Emperor Taiji took advantage of the situation to propose the formation of special firearms units such as the Han Eight Banners.

However, although the idea is good, it is very difficult to actually put it into practice......

The formation of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, according to Huang Taiji's idea, the number of people should reach half of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, that is, about 50,000 people.

The huge Hou Jin, coupled with the large number of Han people looted by the Later Jin Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty many times, it is definitely very easy to extract the young and strong Han people from them, so that they can ask for slave nationality and become soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

However, in addition to people, there is another very important factor in a strong combat army, and that is the equipment of the troops.

50,000 firearms troops also means that Houjin needs to prepare all kinds of muskets and artillery needed by 50,000 people.

However, in Houjin, who advocates archery and horse archery, where can he raise so much equipment......

Emperor Taiji, the Great Khan, searched the entire Houjin before he found some firearms that had captured the Ming border army.

However, even if all these firearms were equipped with the Han Eight Banners, less than 20,000 people would be equipped.

More importantly, these firearms captured by the Daming border army, in the face of the Haw Par Army's sophisticated firearms, not to mention counterattacking, there is no possibility of self-preservation.

In this case, for the future of Houjin, for the Han Eight Banners to be able to travel to combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Huang Taiji could only pin his hopes on the craftsmen who returned from the Ming captives......

It is hoped that these craftsmen can imitate the same equipment based on the firearms of the Haw Par Army captured on the battlefield. Only in this way can the Houjin Army have the ability to fight when it encounters the Tiger and Leopard Army again.

However, to Huang Taiji's disappointment, although these craftsmen imitated the Suifa muskets, the power of these Suifa muskets was only half of that of the Suifa muskets equipped by the Haw Par Army.

The angry Huang Taiji, although he killed dozens of craftsmen in a row, the power of this kind of musket still did not improve much, and it was only much better than the arquebus of the captured official army.

After all, Houjin did not have the same good craftsmanship for producing muskets as the Haw Par Army, nor did they have such good raw materials.

In this case, if he can send tens of thousands of well-equipped muskets to the Houjin Kingdom and Huang Taiji, it is certain that these muskets can definitely be called a charcoal in the snow for Huang Taiji......

Of course, because of this charcoal in the snow, he will regain the attention of Huang Taiji and return to the Houjin Kingdom......

Thinking of this, Lord Belle shot out a pair of eyes with two rays of fine light, and at this moment, they were already covered by throbbing excitement.

After taking a deep breath, he affirmed in front of him, "This idea is very good...... Benbel can tell everyone for sure that as long as we can complete this important task and send ten thousand of these well-armed muskets to the Houjin Kingdom, you warriors will become the warriors of the entire Houjin Kingdom......"

"So, Ben Belle, completely agree with this mention...... Not only do we agree, but we also need to start acting right away......"

After receiving Lord Belle's affirmation, the expression on the faces of his subordinates did not show the slightest smile because of this, but reminded with a worried face: "Lord Belle, after the auction is over, the minions have already had a brief contact with the representative of the Haw Par Army in the capital as a merchant......"

"As long as we have silver, they will sell it to us...... It's just that the price offered by the Haw Par Army is very high...... With the 500,000 taels of silver we have in our hands, we can only buy 2,000 of these muskets from the Haw Par Army......"

As soon as the subordinates finished speaking, an exclamation sounded in the room......

"Lord Belle, this is a money grab...... 500,000 taels of silver and 2,000 muskets, converted into two hundred and fifty taels of a musket. And the price we bought the arquebus from the Ming border army was only more than 100 taels of silver, such a good price, it was definitely the Haw Par Army that was indiscriminately bidding......"

In the exclamations of his subordinates, there was also a look of approval on Lord Baylor's face. He frowned and asked his subordinates in front of him, "We bought so many muskets at one time, and the price was not negotiable?"

After seeing his subordinates shaking their heads helplessly, Lord Belle fell directly into deep thought.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, a trace of a resolute expression appeared on Belle's face.

After taking a deep breath, he decided to his subordinates in front of him: "Such a good musket, even if it costs two hundred and fifty taels of silver, it is nothing. Benbel believes that even if the Great Khan is here, he will be very supportive of Benbeylor's decision. ”

"So, Ben Baylor decided that no matter how high the price was, we would first buy 10,000 of these muskets and send them back to Houjin. If possible, you can also buy some artillery from the Haw Par Army that can fire flowering shells......"

"As for the shortfall in the silver, Benbel will find a way...... If it really doesn't work, he will directly use the Great Khan to let us buy millions of taels of silver from the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Something went wrong, and Ben Baylor took the ......"

However, Benbel believed that in the eyes of the Great Khan, even if he knew about Benbeel's decision, he would not say much. Because, Ben Baylor did all these things for the future of the post-Jin country......"

After speaking, Belle's face was covered with a thick and firm expression. (To be continued......)
