Facing the smile on Zhao Yun's face, the North Korean negotiator sitting directly opposite not only did not have any joy, but instead felt a chill in his heart......

Because, throughout the negotiation process, every time Zhao Yun showed such a smile, it meant that North Korea once again fell into the calculation of the other side.

Not only that, but the other side's calculations, on the surface, are all for the sake of North Korea......

However, at this critical juncture of life and death, even if he knew that the other party was calculating North Korea, he had to accept it.

Because, in front of the formidable Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army, which has only 20,000 remnants, has lost the capital to bargain with the Haw Par Army......

Thinking of this, this so-called Lord Wang could only show a bitter smile from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at Zhao Yun and waiting for Zhao Yun to follow......

Without letting Lord Wang wait too long, Zhao Yun continued to speak......

"North Korea doesn't have silver...... But there is one thing that can be exchanged for silver......"

"As far as Ben knows, you North Korea, especially North Korea, have a lot of iron ore...... As long as you North Korea take out one or two of them, you can get all the firearms needed by 10,000 musketeers from our Haw Par Army. ”

"Iron ore for musket ......" Hearing this idea, the worry in Lord Wang's heart disappeared completely, and at the same time, a trace of doubt also appeared on his face.

In the eyes of Lord Wang, the whole of North Korea has hundreds of large and small iron mines, even if one or two are given to the Tiger and Leopard Army, it will not have the slightest impact on the whole of North Korea, and it is not a calculation of North Korea at all.

And that's not all. The specific price of the Haw Par Army's new musket. Lord Wang didn't know.

But. A hundred taels of silver, there is definitely one.

As for iron ore, as long as there are people, they can dig as much as they want, and it is not worth much at all.

To exchange with two such things that are not at all equivalent is impossible without doubts.

However, Zhao Yun has his own thoughts in his heart. Without thinking about it, he gave a very positive answer.

"Yes, iron ore for muskets...... If you give me the Maoshan Iron Mine, I will give the DPRK all the firearms that can equip 10,000 elites...... However, in order to ensure the safety of the iron mine, our Tiger and Par Army must have at least one regiment stationed in the iron mine for protection, which is not negotiable......"

North Korean negotiators left Pyongyang with a look of confusion and excitement. The commander of the Seventh Division, who participated in the entire negotiation, directly asked all kinds of questions in his heart.

"The commander of the army, I will finish the battle as much as possible and ask for silver from the DPRK as compensation. I can understand. Otherwise, attack the battle of North Korea. We're in vain...... However, what I don't understand is why we, as opponents, should sell them muskets to increase their combat effectiveness. Not only that, but also left the musketeers to directly help them train the troops......"

Zhao Yun shook his head and replied: "When I just saw these requirements that the prince gave to the general, the general was just as puzzled as you. However, when Ben Jiang read the explanation given by the prince, Ben Jiang realized that the things that Ben Jiang saw were all superficial..."

"On the surface, the North Korean army, which has firearms and has been trained by us, has increased its combat effectiveness a lot. However, throughout the training process, the influence of our Haw Par Army in the North Korean army will become more and more important......"

"With the passage of time, I believe that it will not be long before this North Korean army, which is equipped with firearms, will be completely under the control ......of our Haw Par Army."

"Not only that, but we can also control the economy and taxes of North Korea little by little with these muskets."

"We all know that it's very expensive to live. Of course, this expensive refers not only to the purchase, but also to the usual maintenance and use ......"

"Suffice it to say that if it weren't for the deep pockets, not many countries would dare to use firearms in large quantities...... Because, firearms are too expensive to consume......"

"According to the training methods of our Haw Par Army, in just one year, 10,000 musketeers will consume all kinds of lead bullets and gunpowder worth 10,000 taels of silver. Of course, this is only the consumption of muskets, not including artillery. If you count the artillery, it costs 50,000 taels of silver to spend ammunition every year......"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, although it is not much, but this is only the beginning ......"

"Ben General agreed to sell North Korean muskets. However, we will never sell the muskets we are equipped. ”

"The musket in our hand, after three hundred lead bullets, the barrel of the musket will be scrapped. And the musket that we are going to sell to the North Koreans has a barrel life of only a hundred rounds of lead bullet at most...... That is, after a hundred consecutive shots, the barrel of the musket is scrapped......"

"And this kind of barrel, no one else can do it except my Tiger and Par Army. In other words, if the North Korean army wants to ensure the combat effectiveness of this musketeer, it must buy it from us. According to the calculation that a musket needs two barrels a year, 10,000 musketeers need two spare barrels a year, and if they are exchanged for silver, it is about 1.5 million taels ......" "To put it more clearly, after this musketeer becomes an army, it will become a burden for the whole of Korea, and it will not be able to throw away if you want to. "And I, the Tiger and Leopard Army, can pass the burden of guò, control the Korean army, and control the limited tax ...... of North Korea."

At this time, the division commander finally showed a sudden realization expression on his face.

Then, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The prince is the prince, a small conspiracy can control the entire North Korea, which is really admired by the general......"

Speaking of this, the division commander seemed to think of something, and subconsciously asked......

"In that case, army commander, exchanging Maoshan iron ore for muskets must also hide a conspiracy that the last general doesn't know......"

Zhao Yun shook his head and denied: "There is really no conspiracy in this...... The prince made it clear in the order that he must get the Maoshan Iron Mine in his hands...... "According to what the prince said in his heart, the iron ore owned by the Maoshan Iron Mine is far beyond what we have seen...... Not only that, the iron content of these iron ores is very high, and we have a Ming Dynasty, basically no iron ore can compare to the Maoshan Iron Mine...... "As long as we get the Maoshan Iron Mine, from now on, my Tiger and Leopard Army will never worry about the iron thing......"

"Therefore, the value of Maoshan iron ore is far more than 10,000 muskets...... This is more than buying and selling, we only make money and don't lose ......"

"Well, if nothing else, North Korea will definitely agree to these conditions that we have put forward. So, from now on, we need to be ready to retreat...... Although we promised the DPRK that we would not touch a single plant or tree in the palace of the Joseon king. However, in addition to the royal palace, there are many places in Pyongyang that can be moved......"

"I'll give you a task, when you retreat, except for the royal palace, you have to empty the whole of Pyongyang......"

"It's not easy to come to North Korea, in addition to the 10 million taels that North Korea promised us, we have to find a way to make 5 million taels back. Otherwise, there would be no way to send the rewards that Ben promised the soldiers......" (To be continued......
