Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian was discussing with He Li, Wu An, Pu Xiruo, and Li Qinjian the feasibility of selling a generation of repeaters to Tuyuhun.

Ever since Fifth Brother Zhang passed this idea back, Li Chengqian has been pondering about this matter.

There is no obstacle in selling it to Subi, because the great enemy of Subi is Tibet.

In terms of overall strength, Subi can't catch up with Tibet.

Moreover, the main reason why Li Chengqian was willing to sell arms to Subi was that Subi could help him curb the unification of Tibet and buy him time, which was the main reason why he was willing to help Subi.

As for the sale to the Western Turks, the reason is simpler, for the time being, there is no geographical intersection between the two countries, and there is a Tuyuhun in between.

But Tuyuhun is different.

If they have the armament of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest victim is most likely to be the Ming Dynasty itself.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that this matter is not very important." He Li said, "Now that the commander of the last general has completed the redressing, the gap between the four generations of repeaters and the first generation of repeaters is still very large.

In addition to the Western Army and the Resentment Army, other armies are also equipped with three generations of repeaters, and there is also a big gap with the first generation of repeaters.

Of course, if the two armies fight in the future, this will definitely pose a certain threat to us, but as long as it is a war, how can there be no threat? What's more, our equipment is clearly superior to theirs, and if we have to worry about this, the last general will feel that it is better not to fight this battle.

Moreover, the last general also believes in the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

In this way, Qi Bi He Li said it very confidently.

That is, Wan Qipu and Plobozi and others have already gone to Zhenbei Mansion, otherwise they are estimated to be more confident.

"Your Highness, if it is the same as the previous sale to Subi, there are some restrictions, such as on arrows, then this business is really done." Pu Xiru also said immediately.

The first and second generations in the warehouse even looked at the crossbows and he had a headache, just as Li Chengqian said, if you can't eat or wear, it's better to change some money and food back.

Especially now that the expenses of the Ming Dynasty are rolling eastward like the water of a river, it really makes him feel a lot of pressure.

It's just that the military people don't speak, and he doesn't have much to say.

After all, it is the soldiers who will face all this in the future.

Hearing them say this, Li Chengqian thought about it, and finally said, "Just follow the same rules as Subi." As he spoke, he sighed again, "Well, this king is only worried about the possibility of a great war that may break out at any time, and it would be a great joke if our soldiers were buried under our own ordnance."

"Your Highness, the benevolent ministers, etc., all understand." "But where there are immortals in battle, and dying on the battlefield is the best destination for a warrior."

Li Chengqian smiled but did not speak.

If I had a million heroes, would I care if hundreds or thousands of people died?

The point is that I didn't!

There are so many soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty, and this is only recently.

It's really one less dead.

"My king understands what you mean. Okay, let's do it, try to limit them as much as possible, and be responsible for the soldiers of my Ming court." Li Chengqian didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so let's leave it at that.

….

As the secretary of the military department, he has no opinion on the general of the Western Army, and he really has nothing to say.

At the end of the day, it's not the business that matters most.

……

And in Watering River County.

Fifty miles outside the city of Douhe City, Murong Xiaojun found dozens of poles on the grassland from afar, and each pole had a human head hanging high, staggering with the wind and snow, as if it was showing the public.

When he got closer, there were a lot of things scattered on the ground, just a glance, Murong Xiaojun concluded that these things were all from the Ming court, after all, he had been trading with the Ming court for so long, and he was also familiar with the things sold by the Ming Dynasty.

But the scene made him a little strange.

When he heard the report from his subordinates before, he thought it was an uneven distribution of spoils or black eating black, but looking at this scene, it clearly had a warning flavor.

Didn't you do it by the king of Dingcheng?

Thinking so, Murong Xiaojun asked, "Have you found out the identities of these people?"

When the subordinate who was waiting here heard this, he immediately said, "Back to the prince, it has been verified, and it should be the person of the king of the West Sea."

Tuoba Zhao's people?

As soon as he heard such an answer, Murong Xiaojun was also stunned.

If he was still suspicious of King Dingcheng at first, then at this time, he didn't doubt it.

Because these two guys have a very good personal relationship on weekdays, even if the king of Dingcheng finds out that Tuoba Zhao's people are doing this thing, the most he can do is to reprimand him, and he will definitely not do this.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you kill someone, it won't be this way.

"Is there any clue to the perpetrator?" Murong Xiaojun asked.

The man shook his head and said, "Not yet, but judging from the marks left in the snow, the perpetrator must have gone west.

Lord, the west side ......."

West?

Murong Xiaojun was also a little stunned, he had a military camp stationed there, could it be that they did it?

But it stands to reason that if such a big thing happens, it's impossible for his subordinates not to return?

At this moment, the king of Dingcheng, who received the news, also arrived.

He was also curious, all the ministries had reached a consensus that they would not do this kind of thing in the near future, firstly, to disgust Murong Xiaojun, and secondly, to help him gain a firm foothold as soon as possible. If anyone really jumped out here, then don't blame him for not talking about his old friendships.

"Yo, King Gaochang is quite fast." As soon as the people arrived, the king of Dingcheng smiled and said.

In the past, he would never dare to talk to Murong Xiaojun like this, but now what is he afraid of? Not to mention that Murong Xiaojun provoked more people this time, just from Murong Fuyun's recent reaction, he is telling everyone a fact that he Murong Xiaojun has fallen out of favor.

The feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, who doesn't understand this truth?

Murong Xiaojun also saw King Dingcheng coming over early, and he was not curious about it: "The speed of King Dingcheng is not slow, since he has come, don't you see who is doing smuggling behind his back?"

Who is so bold to dare to do such a thing knowing that the king of Dingcheng is coming, isn't this a slap in the face of the king of Dingcheng?"

When King Dingcheng heard this, his face was also a little ugly, this is true, everyone has reached a consensus, but you suddenly came to stab him in the back, it was indeed a slap in the face.

….

However, looking at the human heads hanging on the pole and swaying in the wind, King Dingcheng smiled and said, "These people are also stupid enough, knowing that King Gaochang has been a little angry recently, and they dare to jump under King Gaochang's nose, no, it's unlucky."

With these words, he had already concluded that the person was killed by Murong Xiaojun, and not only killed someone, but also vented his anger.

After all, Murong Xiaojun has indeed been quite aggrieved recently.

And Murong Xiaojun didn't defend himself, don't worry, what's the hurry, when you find out that these people are Tuoba Zhao's people, I don't know how you react?

Seeing that he didn't agree, the king of Dingcheng immediately let his command go down to inspect it, and he also dismounted and carefully looked at the things on the ground.

"These things are indeed from the Ming Dynasty." King Dingcheng is not a wine bag and rice bag, after a little look, he said, "Judging from the situation scattered all over the place, it should be left during the fight, and most of the head is estimated to have been taken away by Murong Xiaojun."

Speaking of which, he is also a little resentful.

Who the is this?

Everyone has obviously said it, does this have to embarrass this king?

The key is, if you smuggle, you will smuggle, don't let Murong Xiaojun catch him, doesn't this give him a chance to turn over?

"Lord Wang, these are the people of the King of the West Sea." When the king of Dingcheng was bored, he came down to report.

As soon as he heard this, King Dingcheng was stunned for a moment?

"Are you sure?"

The subordinate nodded and said, "Sure, I know the person who led the caravan, and the prince will take a look, just that person."

As he spoke, his subordinates also pointed to him with their hands, "That guy is the brother of a favorite concubine of the King of the West Sea, he has no ability, so he relied on flattery to get to where he is today, and this person is extremely greedy for money and lustful, and the general will never admit his mistake."

As soon as he heard him say this, King Dingcheng had a headache.

Tuoba Zhao's people?

The key is that he has a very good personal relationship with Tuoba Zhao, which makes him embarrassed.

He didn't suspect Tuoba Zhao, Tuoba Zhao has a straightforward personality, and what he promised will definitely not make a trick behind his back.

Coupled with what his subordinates said, and looking at the size of this caravan, he immediately had a judgment.

Either they have pressed Murong Xiaojun too hard recently, forcing this guy to deliberately frame the blame and kill the good to make up for the recent defeat.

Either this unlucky ghost secretly smuggled everyone behind his back and Da Ming, and was caught by Murong Xiaojun.

However, he prefers the latter.

Although he and Murong Xiaojun don't deal with each other, as far as Murong Xiaojun he knows, he really can't do anything to kill good and risky things. In addition, that unlucky guy is a money-hungry and womanizer, secretly smuggling everyone behind his back and Daming, but it won't make him feel strange.

Wealth is moving.

At the beginning, none of them could bear this huge benefit, let alone these guys.

"What's going on? Will there be any results for the king of Dingcheng?" Just as he was thinking like this, Murong Xiaojun asked with a smile, with a look of schadenfreude on his face.

When King Dingcheng heard this, he said disdainfully: "King Gaochang is a good means, this death has no proof, isn't it what King Gaochang said?"

No matter what he thinks, this basin has to be buckled on Murong Xiaojun's head, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

….

Murong Xiaojun smiled and said, "Means? This king doesn't have your means, and how long did this king think your offensive and defensive alliance could last?

A year or half a year? Hehe, the result is less than a month.

Take a look, after all, it is a person who is consumed by interests, just like the Khan repeatedly ordered that smuggling is not allowed, but what about you? Don't you do it well?

You think that if a group of people discuss it, everyone will do what they have discussed.

Hehe, recognize the reality.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, the king of Dingcheng, you, you still think it's too simple.

Since there is the first, I believe that there will be the second, third, and even more cases.

King Dingcheng, ask for more blessings, what you think is only what you think after all."

After speaking, Murong Xiaojun laughed.

Enjoyable, he hasn't been so happy lately.

A group of people with ghosts and interests are all interested in it, what kind of offensive and defensive alliance do they play?

What he said was to sow discord, so what?

Does the king of Dingcheng dare to say that what he said is not right?

"Withdraw, leave this place to the King of Dingcheng." Seeing that the king of Dingcheng was silent for a long time, Murong Xiaojun waved his hand and took people back to the city immediately.

No matter who killed these guys, he didn't care.

If you dare to smuggle with Daming, you deserve to die.

The point is, these people are exposed, and it's a good thing for him.

At least, the recent frustration has been vented out of this.

But the king of Dingcheng, who remained in place, was worried.

He knew that Murong Xiaojun was sowing discord, but he just couldn't stop thinking about what Murong Xiaojun said.

Because Murong Xiaojun is right, the offensive and defensive alliance of a group of people needs absolute trust, absolutely!

But where is the absolute trust between them?

Who knows what other people are thinking?

Could it really be that someone took advantage of the fact that when he and Murong Xiaojun were entangled in Dohe County, they secretly smuggled a windfall?

It's hard to say, it's really hard to say.

As Murong Xiaojun said, this is only the first case seized, so how many are not seized?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Interests are always a mountain that stands in the way of human nature.

Indestructible!

"Send someone to inform the King of the West Sea, and by the way, ask what the hell is going on?" King Dingcheng immediately said.

He didn't believe that this was what Tuoba Zhao meant, but because it wasn't Tuoba Zhao's meaning, it was the most terrifying.

This shows that those under them are also starting to move their minds.

And Murong Xiaojun, who had just turned back to Douhe City, was also a little curious, judging from the reaction of King Dingcheng, he didn't do this.

But it's not him or himself, so who would do it?

"Send someone to find out who did this." Murong Xiaojun said.

And when they were confused, Fifth Brother Zhang and the others had already turned back to Watering River City.

Murong Xiaojun thought that they were carrying a large amount of goods, but in fact, all the goods they brought were left at the scene of the crime.

"Next, start spreading the word in Watering River County." Fifth Brother Zhang said, "Let's just say that someone has made a lot of profits from smuggling, and if the time is right, you can also sell some Ming goods to the outside world without exposing yourself."

….

But remember, you can't expose yourself, as a secret agent, you know what it means to expose your identity.

Finally, I would like to remind you, don't learn from those people who want to learn from Tuyuhun, they are blinded by interests, who our Highness is, you must know it yourself.

As long as you are loyal to the king, it is not impossible to be crowned a marquis in the future."

"Fifth brother, rest assured." Pu Qi immediately said, "We all understand this truth, and it was also our voluntary decision to enter the Secret Spy Division at the beginning, besides, for more than a year, we can see what His Highness has done to us."

"That's it, Fifth Brother, you're worrying nonsense." Someone said, "Follow Your Highness, are you afraid that Your Highness will treat us badly in the future?" In such a difficult time, His Highness never treated us badly."

Fifth Brother Zhang smiled and didn't talk much on this topic: "In this case, then let's go and prepare, Tuyuhun and Daming, sooner or later there will be a battle, and Douhe County may be the key to this big war, everyone should be careful while carrying out the task."

I hope that when Your Highness marches north, you will all be there."

"That's nature." Pu Qi immediately chimed in.

Just as the crowd was about to leave again, someone came in.

"Fifth brother, there is news from Sun Moon Mountain." The person who came immediately said.

As soon as he heard him say this, Fifth Brother Zhang knew that it was Pu Qi's proposal that Sun Moon Mountain had replied to, and immediately nodded and said, "Say."

"Your Highness agreed to our previous proposal, but there are also restrictions, mainly because we are afraid that our own brothers will suffer greatly in the future war, and besides, these weapons cannot be sold to Murong Xiaojun." The person who came said.

After listening to him, Fifth Brother Zhang compared what he expected, and then said, "Since His Highness has agreed, this time you will also handle this matter by the way.

But keep the order in mind, since we have caused everyone to think that someone is secretly smuggling, then let the news out first, not to say that it is true, at least let everyone have such suspicions.

In that case, then we can lure them with ordnance to continue smuggling, and these guys will be more likely to take the bait."

"Don't worry, we're all familiar with this." Everyone laughed.

That's it, and they really did a lot of it.

Of course, in order for them to take root in Douhe County, Li Chengqian also invested a lot.

After saying that, the crowd dispersed.

And after they left, Fifth Brother Zhang immediately sent someone to convey the latest situation of Dohe County back to Riyue Mountain.

After all this, he also led people out of the temporary place where they stayed, and after entering the street, they quickly drowned in the sea of people.

This foothold will basically not be used anymore.

In the next few days, there was a rumor in Shuihe County that someone had made a windfall by relying on the smuggling of He Ming.

When such news reached Murong Xiaojun's ears, he smiled.

Sure enough, there is a first time, a second time, or even countless times.

But he wasn't worried at all, the person who should be worried now was not him, but the king of Dingcheng, and this pressure was instantly given to the king of Dingcheng. Eight one

In fact, when the king of Dingcheng heard such rumors, it was called an annoyance.

….

The man he sent to deliver the letter to Tuoba Zhao had returned, and Tuoba Zhao made it clear that he had not done it.

That is to say, those under their hands have run out of patience.

The point is, he doesn't know who these people are, let alone whether they mean it or the people behind them.

But whoever it meant, it wasn't a good thing for him.

If they meant it, that is, these guys had already put their minds to it, maybe there were people under him who were doing such things.

Although these people are their subordinates, when these people have their own demands, it is no longer a trivial problem.

What's even more terrifying is that if there are people behind them, it means that their offensive and defensive alliance is actually just an ornament, and these guys don't care about his situation.

After all, he also has the task of strictly investigating smuggling now, and when Murong Fuyun investigates it, he is not as hard as Murong Xiaojun's waist.

The thought of this gave him a headache.

"Check, check me to death! No matter who is found, kill on the spot! Since you don't let this king have a good time, then don't blame this king for not giving anyone face." King Dingcheng said angrily.

He must have said something.

If it reached Murong Fuyun's ears, he thought that he was deliberately shielding those guys, and when the time came, he would be the unlucky.

"Lord Wang, if you dig deeper, I'm afraid you'll offend a lot of people." The cronies immediately said that the lessons of King Gaochang's past are in front of him.

The king of Dingcheng also has a word of suffering, doesn't he know that he offends people?

But if he doesn't investigate, the one who offended is the Great Khan, and he still knows which is more serious.

"I can't do that much." King Dingcheng said, "Check first, but don't chase up, as long as you find anyone involved in smuggling grain, you will be killed on the spot, and no one will be left alive."

In the end, he still left himself a way out, no way, it's like this in the court, like Murong Xiaojun, I don't know how many times I have died?

Hearing him say this, his cronies instantly understood, and were about to speak, when the steward of a caravan under the command of King Dingcheng hurriedly ran in.

"Good news, lord." Before the man in charge could come to him, he cried out.

King Dingcheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What good news?"

The steward looked left and right, and saw that the king of Dingcheng did not react, so he said, "Lord Wang, there are people selling ordnance over there in Daming."

"Are you sure?" King Dingcheng immediately stood up.

The steward said, "Sure, it's all the same people who have traded with us before, and the news is reliable."

"The Ming Dynasty's ordnance is very tightly controlled, where did they get it?" King Dingcheng was a little skeptical.

Ordnance, for any country, is the top priority, how can it be easy for businessmen to get their hands dirty? Moreover, this is still sold to neighboring countries, even in Tuyuhun, if such a thing happens, it will also kill people.

"I heard that it is the path of Subi and Western Turks." The steward said, "Subi raised troops to invade the border before, but Da Ming gave up his wealth to avoid disaster and promised to sell their ordnance, which allowed those merchants to find a way.

They asked the Subi and Western Turks to help them purchase ordnance at a price of more than half a percent, the most of which was a repeater, followed by incendiary bombs, and wasn't they looking for buyers everywhere?

….

And not only did they contact us, I heard that they also sent people to contact other people, and even someone contacted Xue Yantuo, and it was this price, they added

Ishika."

As soon as he heard what the steward said, the king of Dingcheng could understand, and this was right.

Whether it is the Subi or the Western Turks, they are willing to do this.

After all, if you add half of the price, you will give them money for nothing.

This business almost made money on the spot.

"Lord, why don't we also go to Subi or the Western Turks? The benefits are still a bit high." The steward said.

Since hearing the news, he didn't plan to take the goods from Daming, but started directly from the source.

When King Kedingcheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, Subi and the Western Turks will help them, but they will definitely not help us.

You don't say half percent of the profit, even if it's two percent of the profit, they won't do it."

"Why?" The steward did not understand.

King Dingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Because we are Tuyuhun, okay, this matter will be stabilized first, and this king will go back to the Great Khan."

If you really want to buy back the ordnance from the Ming Dynasty, even the Great Khan will not let go of such an opportunity." After speaking, he looked at the cronie again, "Let go of the matter over there first, don't worry, this time, it may be a turning point."

If he was still anxious before, then this time, he was relieved.

It was a real sigh of relief.

At that moment, after arranging these, he went directly to Fu Qi City.

When Murong Xiaojun learned that he was going straight to Fu Qi City, he thought that this guy was going to find those guys who were attacking and defending the alliance with him, and he didn't care too much.

In the afternoon of the same day, the king of Dingcheng, who had been running wildly, took his own soldiers into Fuqi City.

When he arrived at Murong Fuyun's tent, Murong Fuyun was talking to a few people he had never seen before, and when he saw him come in, Murong Fuyun said to those people, "Okay, you go down first."

After those people retreated, Murong Fuyun asked, "Why did you suddenly come back, and the smuggling matter is in trouble?"

This is a bit of a slap in the face.

Everyone knows what smuggling is all about.

Although Murong Fuyun didn't say it explicitly, it didn't mean that he approved of the actions of these guys.

"Great Khan, when Wechen was investigating smuggling, he accidentally got a piece of news, saying that there were batches of ordnance for sale on the Ming side, and they were following the path of Subi and Western Turks......" King Dingcheng introduced the situation to Murong Fuyun in detail.

When Murong Fuyun heard this, he was almost the same as him at the beginning, and immediately stood up.

Daming was able to achieve this effect in just one year, relying on the benefits of ordnance.

But although Daming sold ordnance to the outside world, he Tuguhun was not among them.

Moreover, he had also walked the path of the Western Turks before, but he was clearly told that the Ming Dynasty had explained that if the ordnance fell from the hands of the Western Turks to the hands of Tuyuhun, then there would be no need to do this business in the future.

The Western Turks did not have a good relationship with him, so how could others take this risk for him?

Hearing what the King of Dingcheng said at this time, he immediately reacted, the one who sold this batch of ordnance was not smuggled by Daming, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood it again.

As for what King Dingcheng said about the news he got when he was investigating smuggling, he didn't believe it.

"Are you sure?" Believe it or not, none of this matters, what matters is that he wants this batch of weapons.

Although now, Tuyuhun and Daming have reached a trade between the two countries, but ordnance is not in the trade between the two countries.

King Dingcheng nodded and said, "I can confirm it, but I'm afraid this business can't be treated with common sense."

To be clear, this business still has to be smuggled.

For this, Murong Fuyun actually understood, nodded immediately, and said, "No matter what path you take, this batch of weapons must be brought back to Ben Khan, so that you are fully responsible for this matter."

"But what if King Gaochang gets in the way? After all, it's ......," he almost said, it was smuggling.

Murong Fuyun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Ben Khan will give you one."

Dao warrant, it must be fast, and it will change later, and it is estimated that Daming's side will also track it down, and bring this batch of ordnance back before Daming finds it."

For Daming's ordnance, he still values it very much.

Li Chengqian was able to develop into what he is today in just one year, and the armaments of the Ming Dynasty definitely played a vital role.

Zhenguan has no prince.
