A'er shook his head again and again, "No...... Don't be aggrieved, the ministers are very satisfied! ”

Zhu Qizhen seemed to be very dissatisfied with this answer, and asked again: "Isn't it small?" ”

"Not small, definitely not small!"

"Don't be nervous, I mean to change you to a more open place, say ......"

Zhu Qizhen paused, pointed to the map and said: "The station of Duoyan Sanwei has been changed to the Troubled River, from the Erguna River in the east, to the Beihai in the west, and to the south is bounded by the Troubled River, to the north, without limiting the territory!" ”

A'er was stunned for a moment, left Daning, and returned to the River of Suffering?

This is the sacred place that the Mongols yearn for, and now that the Varat has fallen and the Tatars have fled, if the Duoyan Sanwei occupies the difficult river, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that he is the orthodox Mongols?

For many years, the steppe has been a struggle between the Warat and the Tatars for the orthodox status of the Great Yuan, because the Tatar Khan has always been a descendant of the Golden Family, although the Warat has also appeared such a heroic figure as Maham, but because of the bloodline, has been squeezed out by the Tatar Department.

In contrast, Duoyan Sanwei knows that he is far away from the orthodoxy of the Great Yuan, so simply, I will not fight with you about any orthodoxy or unorthodoxy, whether it is Tatar, Warat or Daming, whoever gives money, I will listen to whom!

Still, they are still Mongols, there is no doubt about that.

Of course, they also fantasized about what it would be like if they were to rule Mongolia on their own.

Unexpectedly, the three Mongolian tribes, the one who had the last laugh was me and my Wuliang Habu!

What's more, the territory here is at least ten times larger than that place in Daning!

At this moment, A'er's beggar brain is running rapidly, the sky will not be flat pie, the emperor's move is not a charity, think about it, it is actually an exchange.

Thinkers

I will help you sit on the seat of Mongolian orthodoxy, and you will help me defend the frontier against the barbarians of the north.

Since it's an exchange, there should be a bargain!

Ah Er secretly made up his mind, and said boldly: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, but I still have some concerns in my heart, and I don't know if I should talk about it or ......not."

Zhu Qizhen seemed to have expected it, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, if you have any ideas, say them as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Ah Er hurriedly said: "The north of the Trouble River is a barbarian land, I heard that there are red-haired and blue-eyed Rakshasa people there, like hell messengers, it is difficult to deal with, and it doesn't cost 30,000 horses to get rid of it, and it may go south at any time, Wechen is worried about ......"

"Worried you won't be able to beat it?"

"Yes!" Ah Er nodded and said, "Weichen is worried that the strength of Duoyan Sanwei is limited, in case it is attacked by the northern barbarians, or if it is captured by Totobuhua, the Ming Dynasty will lose the northern barrier." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled at him and said, "I don't like these twists and turns, if you have anything to say, let's just say it!" ”

Ah Er smiled awkwardly and said: "Weichen is requesting, can the emperor equip Duoyan Sanwei with some muskets and artillery, so that Weichen dares to guarantee that the northern border of the Ming Dynasty is worry-free!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed.

The new musket artillery is the magic weapon of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be easily given to others?

However, Zhu Qizhen said with a relaxed expression: "Well...... It's not impossible! ”

A'er beggar suddenly looked shocked, although he said that he returned to the River of Difficulties and nominally became Mongolian orthodoxy, but if he really came over, it was difficult to say.

The prairie has always spoken with strength, and whoever has a hard fist is orthodox.

If there were muskets and artillery, it would be completely different!

This thing is too good, high rate of fire, high power, and that grenade, Immortal Heaven is nothing more than that, right?

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, Weichen is grateful!"

A'er beggar was ecstatic in his heart, for a hundred years, Duoyan Sanwei had survived in the gap between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, and had to be suppressed by Warat and Tatar, and today he finally turned over!

"Your Majesty, the minister disagrees!"

Suddenly, Yu Qian spoke.

Ah Er was stunned, this adult didn't seem to be easy to mess with, if he didn't agree, this matter would be really difficult to handle.

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said, "Tell me your reasons!" ”

Yu Qian said suddenly: "Muskets and artillery are extremely expensive, not to mention, these firearms are extremely precious in addition to being my exclusive magic weapon of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be easily given to others?" ”

"Lord Yu!"

A'er hurriedly said: "Duoyan Sanwei is not taken in vain, we can give out the silver!" ”

Yu Qian continued: "According to Wang Gongchang's quotation, the cost of a flintlock pistol is roughly one hundred taels of silver, the Franc light cannon needs three thousand taels, and the heavy artillery needs five thousand taels. ”

Ah Er made a rough estimate, and then said: "No problem, I want ten light cannons, ten heavy cannons, five hundred flintlock guns, and I can still get a few hundred thousand taels of silver!" ”

"Huh!"

Yu Qian smiled contemptuously and said, "I just talked about guns, now let's talk about ammunition, a flintlock pistol bullet is about five taels of silver, and a flowering bullet is about three hundred taels of silver, are you sure you can afford it?" ”

A'er felt that his fingers were a little insufficient, five hundred flintlock pistols were equipped with at least 10,000 rounds of ammunition, that is, 50,000 taels, and for cannonballs, at least 100 rounds were needed, that is, 30,000 taels, which was 80,000 taels.

However, ammunition is a consumable, and it has no ability to produce it itself, so it can only be purchased from Daming in a continuous source of energy.

And then you count the wear and tear of the guns......

A'er beggar suddenly understood why Warat and Tatar would be defeated, where is this war, this is to smash it with silver!

If you count it like that, you really can't afford it......

Zhu Qizhen seemed to see the embarrassment on A'er's begging face, and said: "This Northern Expedition, Duoyan Sanwei has made great contributions, and in terms of meritorious deeds, I can give the Qing family five artillery pieces and three hundred flintlock guns, which can be regarded as a reward for Duoyan Sanwei." ”

A'er nodded again and again: "Weichen represents Duoyan Sanwei, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

Although it is a little less, these weapons are tantamount to a qualitative improvement for Duoyan Sanwei.

"As for the follow-up equipment and ammunition, I have a proposal......

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the map and said: "To the north is a wild land, occupied by Rakshasa people and other barbarians, if Duoyan Sanwei can open up territory to the north, you can exchange land with the imperial court for weapons, what do you think?" ”

Ah Er's beggar suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes lit up.

Lay down the land, exchange weapons with the imperial court, this deal can be done!

"Wechen has no opinion!"

"That's good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This matter is settled, and the rest will be arranged by Yu Qian." ”

Yu Qian saluted and said, "Obey the order!" ”

Although firearms are expensive, they can be exchanged for peace of mind on the northern border, and this is a good deal.

What's more, the manufacturing technology of firearms and ammunition is controlled by Da Ming, which means that Duoyan Sanwei will never be able to pose a threat to Da Ming.
