Chapter 464

”What Niu Dudu said is reasonable. Maybe I think too much. "

Xiao Ming suddenly realized that he was in charge of a little too much now. It was all due to the problems of the previous two wars. He always felt that every attack of the barbarians had a direct relationship with him.

In fact, the worst luck of the barbarians' going south this time was king Liang and King Zhao, just like King Zhao and King Liang had been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, he seems to be in their former position now.

Niu Zhen continued: "although your highness is the prince of the state of Dayu, he is also the Lord of the vassal state now. They should weigh the pros and cons. After all, when we were fighting with blood, everyone was watching jokes. The soldiers were always dissatisfied with this. For these soldiers, they only had his highness in their heart. If they died for King Liang and King Zhao at this time, they would have no choice They won't like it. "

after hearing the speech, Xiao Ming suddenly sighed. This is the reality of Dayu.

As a matter of fact, the people of the state of Dayu have no family or country in mind. The concept of nation is the only object of their loyalty to them. Now there is no family in his fiefdom, and they are only loyal to him.

Niu Zhen now reminds him, just to tell him that the soldiers need a reason to fight, otherwise the soldiers' morale will be very poor.

"I understand. "

Xiao Ming said that now he is eating radish to worry about, the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious, Xiao Wenxuan is so calm, what does he worry about.

While they were talking, the servant suddenly said outside the main hall, "Your Highness, a general who calls himself Luo Hong outside the door asks for a meeting? "

" Luo Hong? Isn't this Luo Xin's brother? "Xiao Ming was surprised.

Niu Zhen also showed a puzzled color, he said: "how Luohong came to Qingzhou, there must be a reason."

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "in that case, let him in. "

the servant turned and left. After a while, Luo Hong in military uniform appeared in the main hall.

"See your highness, see governor Niu Hong." To the main hall, see Xiaoming and niuzhen are in, Luohong bowed to say.

Xiao Ming said, "general Luo, please take a seat. Don't be polite. If we make friends with your father, we don't need these empty gifts."

"Your Highness, if you come to Qingzhou for a visit, I will not be so polite to your highness, but this time I came to Qingzhou, but I was ordered by the emperor. "

" Oh? Did your father send you to Qingzhou? "Xiao Ming doubts.

"Exactly. "Luo Hong nodded, then took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Xiao Ming," his highness, please look. "

after receiving the letter, Xiao Ming read it. In the letter, Xiao Wenxuan mentioned that there are many different signs in the grassland recently, one is that the barbarians have tightened the sale of war horses, the other is that the trading volume of iron ore and nitre has increased in the border trade, and the third is that the barbarian tribes cruising on the grassland have sent flag leaders to Shengdu.

For these unusual things, Xiao Wenxuan infers that the barbarians may be working hard and preparing to plunder the state of Dayu again, so that the state of Dayu will submit to the barbarians.

However, in the letter, Xiao Wenxuan didn't show any worries in the past. Instead, he seemed ambitious. He only talked about the purchase of 500 guns and 15000 muskets from Qingzhou. All these things were entrusted to Luo Hong, because now Luo Hong is the chief General of the firearm camp. In his heart, he also told Xiao Ming to take charge of letting Luo Hong participate in the training of Qingzhou army and let Luo Hong become a leader A general in charge of the firearm force, like Mr. rohson.

"Five hundred guns, fifteen thousand muskets, big business. "Xiao Ming grinned.

Luo Hong seems to have known the contents of the letter. He said to Niu Zhen: "Niu Dudu, I will rely on him in the future. "

Niu Zhen is puzzled by Luo Hong's action and looks at Xiao Ming strangely.

With a helpless smile, Xiao Ming gives the letter to Niu Zhen. After reading it, he suddenly realizes that Xiao Wenxuan is really good at purchasing firearms this time. He also asks Xiao Ming to help him train the generals of the firearms camp.

This time, in addition to Luo Hong, 30 generals of the firearm battalion arrived in Qingzhou.

Xiao Wenxuan naturally considered Luo Hong's move. One reason is that Luo Hong and Qingzhou army had been fighting side by side and were familiar with each other, while Luoxin was in Qingzhou army, which is also a relationship.

"Since this is my father's request, I can only comply with it. It's up to you, commander Niu. "While talking, Xiao Ming squeezed his eyes at Niu Zhen.

Niu Zhen understood and said, "yes, your highness. "

to settle the matter, Luo Hong continued:" Your Highness, the barbarian's change worried King Liang and King Zhao. It is said that he sent officials to Qingzhou one after another to buy firearms to resist the barbarians. It seems that your highness is going to make a lot of money this time. "

"Really? I didn't hear about it, but if it happened, I would be very happy." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

They talked and laughed with Luo Hong for a while, and Niu Zhen left with Luo Hong.

Seeing them off, Xiao Ming's brows wrinkled. This time, Xiao Wenxuan's action suddenly made him realize that he didn't have to take part in the war himself, just as Niu Zhen said, he wanted to make a lot of money from the war.Training general for Xiao Wenxuan is equivalent to an agent war. As the name suggests, he does not directly participate in the war, but sells weapons to the imperial court, King Liang and King Zhao to fight for himself.

In this way, he could not only stay in the rear, but also make a fortune by selling war materials. What the imperial court, the king of Zhao and the king of Liang needed to pay was only silver.

When he realized this, Xiao Ming began to laugh. In this way, he could not only consume the living power of the barbarians on a large scale, but also make money. Why not? Just as Luo Hong said, only four days later, the purchasing officials sent by King Zhao and King Liang appeared in Qingzhou and asked Xiao Ming to buy artillery and muskets.

This time, the king of Zhao did not send Zhao Yuanliang, but sent a strange official to come. It is estimated that he also understood the conflict between Zhao Yuanliang and him.

Liang Wang, too, sent his trusted officials.

Among them, King Zhao proposed to buy 600 guns and 7000 fire line guns, while King Liang proposed to buy 400 guns and 6000 fire line guns.

With the orders from the imperial court, the military workshop now has 1500 guns and 28000 muskets.

"Now, your highness, the fiefdom is financially well off. "Pang Yukun was so happy that his fangs disappeared.

The huge arms orders brought huge wealth to Qingzhou. Xiao Ming, who had been tied up with silver, was suddenly well off.

With this money, Qingzhou's industrialization process will develop more smoothly. Xiao Ming has to sigh that he still sells arms to make money.
