Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

"Mr. Wenhe, what do we have to pay in order for you to hand over Wu Sangui to us!" Li Shi took a deep breath, then skipped over all the questions and went straight to the core.

After a moment's silence, Jia Xu decided not to continue provoking Li Shi. The time had already passed and further provocation would only backfire.

"First, send the entire Wu family here!" Jia Xu said, stretching out a finger.

"No problem!" Li Shi didn't even blink. They had already seen this from Liu Xuanchu's soul, and it was within their expectations.

They even had to thank Liu Xuanchu for returning to the right path, otherwise, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would have died.

In addition, the agreement involved Yu Jin, and in the end the entire Wu family was saved by him.

But it was just to save their lives. The Wu family's property was ransacked and everyone was imprisoned waiting for the transaction.

"Secondly, the pensions for our fallen soldiers will be paid to us according to your pension system!"

Seeing that Li Shi agreed readily, Jia Xu also directly raised the second point. They certainly would not let the Ming Dynasty pay the pension. They just wanted to obtain a sum of money that could be used in the Ming Dynasty in this way.

Li Shi still nodded, this was still within their expectations.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty were not there to sit around and do nothing, especially when it came to such a big thing.

"Third, we will open up trade between our two countries. We and you will each choose a city to open a market."

When Jia Xu said this, Li Shi raised his eyebrows. In theory, this point could be brought up later. After all, opening up trade has its pros and cons for both parties. However, it is a bit confusing to bring it up in such a situation of unilateral demand for compensation.

However, this had long been the policy of the Ming Dynasty, so Li Shi agreed without blinking an eye.

"I've said so much, let your honorable envoy bring up the last point!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and passed the ball back to Li Shi's feet.

Li Shi frowned. To be honest, this kind of open-ended requirement is the most difficult.

All the demands Jia Xu had put forward so far were extremely reasonable and not excessive at all. This made Li Shi, who had been prepared for a sharp confrontation, feel like he was punching cotton.

What's worse is that Li Shi felt a dull pain in his heart. Xinghan was so reasonable, and it was their Ming Dynasty that was wrong.

Jia Xu looked calm, but he was actually laughing in his heart.

A gentleman can deceive others.

The best way to deal with these moral guys is not to restrain them with rules, but to let guilt erode them.

How much the Ming Dynasty's face is worth should not be defined by Xinghan, but by the people of the Ming Dynasty itself.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xinghan’s understanding of the Ming Dynasty is still at a relatively superficial level, and the demands they put forward may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it would be best for Daming to propose it itself, which would be most beneficial for Xinghan.

"That small world will be left to you to occupy, and we will provide you with the technology of constructing terracotta warriors to put an end to this incident!" After a long silence, Li Shi put forward the final condition.

"Construct terracotta warriors?"

This was a term that Jia Xu had never heard of before, but he could roughly understand it from the name.

"That's it!" Jia Xu had no questions and no rebuttals, and directly put an end to this incident.

"Come here, hand Wu Sangui over to your envoy!"

As they were talking, several guards took Wu Sangui and handed him over to the Jinyiwei at the door.

"May the friendship between Xinghan and Ming Dynasty last forever!" Jia Xu raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Li Shi.

"May our friendship last forever!" After Li Shi replied to Jia Xu, he did not stop for a moment and pushed Wu Sangui back to the Ming Empire.

Needless to say, Wu Sangui's fate was inevitable.

After the Jinyiwei investigated and figured out the reason behind Wu Sangui's rebellion, it caused a stir within the Ming Empire.

……

"Wu Sangui is dead!"

Chen Yuanyuan frowned and spread out the scroll and said that he could feel Wu Sangui's thoughts on the other side dissipating.

"Dead! What a waste! He planned everything, but was easily captured by the Xinghan army, and even lost a small world!"

The big fox nestling beside Chen Yuanyuan said with some resentment that the reward that had been obtained was gone just like that.

"Sister Su, I don't think this is a bad thing!"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the scroll in her hand and spoke slowly.

"What's wrong?" The big fox turned his head and looked at the scroll in Chen Yuanyuan's hand.

"Huh? This thing hasn't been burned yet?"

"Yes, according to the intelligence, this thing should be in the hands of the Xinghan people now. Compared to the dragon of Daming, perhaps this opponent is more suitable for us!"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the scene on the other side through the scroll. Although it had not been connected yet, he could more or less sense that it was not a dark warehouse, but a mansion.

As long as she can connect with people, she believes she can play her part.

Wu Sangui's rebellion came half from his fear of the future and half from her instigation.

And now, changing the object of her charm is just starting over again for her.

"I heard that Lord Aobai is recruiting elite soldiers to avenge his previous humiliation. If you can provide him with some useful information, he will definitely not be stingy in rewarding us!" The big fox became excited.

The Qing court had suffered repeated defeats, so naturally it wanted to regain some ground, and avenging its previous humiliation became the best option.

"Yes, it will definitely happen!"

Chen Yuanyuan stared at the scroll, feeling every move on the other end. Any information could be used by her.

At the other end, Jia Xu glanced at the scroll hanging on the wall, turned around and left with a smile on his face.

Having extracted all of Wu Sangui's memories, he naturally understood the significance of this scroll. When Yu Jin handed it to him, he had already noticed its value.

So he mixed this thing in a batch of rewards and gave it to one of his subordinates, an official. The other party had a son of a noble family under his command, who would play the role of a traitor who was bewitched by a woman.

Sometimes, undercover spies can also be used. As long as they transmit some false information, they may be able to achieve results that cannot be achieved on the frontal battlefield. I don’t know how many famous generals did not fall on the battlefield, but instead fell in the face of counter-espionage.

……

Daming acted quickly and delivered everything over a few days after the conditions were met.

Jia Xu had no interest in the Wu family. He assigned these people to his subordinates and no longer paid attention to them. These people might be valuable, but not valuable enough for him to pay personal attention to. Someone would obtain intelligence from them.

The Ming Dynasty opened Shuntian Prefecture as a trading city, while Xinghan opened Chang'an. Jia Xu organized a group of people as a caravan and used the pensions given by the Ming Dynasty to investigate the market and determine the difference in the trade between the two sides, as well as some contraband.

After all, the national conditions of the two countries are different. Some things that are allowed in the Ming Dynasty may not be allowed in Xinghan, and vice versa. So Jia Xu sent a caravan to the Ming Dynasty to take over shops and then began to do market research.

Finally, there is the small world and technology promised by the Ming Dynasty.

A small world may not be a good thing for Xinghan. A small world that is completely exposed to the sight of several empires, even if there are special materials that can be mined, the risks are still very high. The Mongols and the Qing court may attack at any time.

Although this small world is not worth making such a fuss, one can never predict when war will break out.

Just as the Ming Dynasty could join forces with the Xinghan Empire, it is not necessarily the case that the Mongols and the Qing court would join forces to take action once.

Xinghan’s current attitude is to mine as much as possible, and retreat immediately once it is confirmed that the enemy is launching a large-scale attack.

This kind of useless land that is neither tasty nor worth throwing away is a huge problem for several empires.

Ming Dynasty took this opportunity to give this enclave to Xinghan, which, to a certain extent, also helped it get rid of a trouble.

As for the highlight, the technology of constructed terracotta warriors, it was beyond Xinghan's expectations.

Strictly speaking, the constructed terracotta warriors can be regarded as the advanced application technology of the Spider Tower and the Flying Peng.

There are two types of construct soldiers. The former are small construct soldiers, which are about the same size as humans and can be remotely controlled. Their combat effectiveness is approximately equal to that of double-talented elite soldiers under the cloud.

The latter is a large-scale constructed terracotta warrior, a completely behemoth, built according to the standard of internal Qi leaving the body.

It can be regarded as one of the cutting-edge technologies of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also an alternative means adopted by the Ming Dynasty to avoid casualties among soldiers.

When an empire reaches a certain level, it will develop in the direction of how to avoid casualties among soldiers. After all, in a war between empires, casualties are in the tens of thousands, and no matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot withstand such deaths.

In order to reduce casualties among soldiers, various cannon fodder units came into being, and the constructed terracotta warriors were the culmination of these in the Ming Empire.

It is also a reflection of the application of the technologies contained in Zhulou and Feipeng to the military. However, its disadvantages may be that it consumes a lot of resources, cannot be upgraded autonomously, and requires secondary charging after combat.

For the Ming Dynasty, it is generally used in city defense and field garrisons, and is not frequently used in battle. Its advantage is that it can store clouds, a bit like a ship in a naval battle.

This thing is usually used in conjunction with Feipeng and Zhulou. Feipeng can quickly deploy it to any corner of the battlefield, and Zhulou can also complete tactics such as flanking through various complex terrains.

“How did the test go?”

Mu Yi is very concerned about this technology. After all, no matter how long the manufacturing process of the constructed terracotta warriors is, it is only a week or a month, which is completely different from the growth cycle of a living person.

"It does have the effect of a dual-talent elite under the clouds. According to the test results, if the material is changed, the performance may be further improved!"

"Moreover, the test performance is very balanced. Take the spearmen as an example. Their attack and defense capabilities are not inferior to those of the heavy armored spearmen. The only flaw may be that they are rather rigid and can only form a square formation or advance in a front line!"

On the training ground, a team of soldiers from the Indomitable Legion were fighting against a team of construct terracotta warriors. The battle lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before all the construct terracotta warriors were smashed to pieces, and it came to an end.

"Is it possible to add other effects to these construct soldiers?" Mu Yi asked, looking at the remains of the construct soldiers.

The simplest idea is to install powerful crossbows on these construct soldiers so that they can have the ability to shoot with powerful crossbows in close combat.

The threat posed by these construct soldiers will increase significantly.

If these construct soldiers could be equipped with functions such as self-destruction, the threat of this thing would definitely be taken to a higher level.

"It is highly feasible, but it takes time!" Huang Tianji gave an affirmative answer.

"Is it possible that these terracotta warriors were manipulated by the enemy?"

Mu Yi looked at the construct soldier that was moving freely and asked with some concern.

"We can use the phantom warriors to perform the phantom self-replication effect, thus ensuring that these construct soldiers will not be controlled by external thoughts!"

"You can also use the Imperial Will to override it and ensure that the Construct Soldiers will not be controlled by the enemy!"

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows, then reached out and used the imperial will to copy one of the construct terracotta warriors, and after that he was able to give orders to it through his thoughts.

"What is truly valuable is not the manufacturing of the Constructed Soldiers, but the operating logic behind them. Can it be fully analyzed?"

Mu Yi pondered for a moment and then looked at Huang Tianji.

"It can be analyzed. The operating logic is similar to the situation of the branch, so the analysis is not difficult!"

"We are currently working hard to analyze this technology and build new production lines to ensure that the Construct Soldiers are continuously produced. We will deploy the already produced Construct Soldiers to Sun Wu in full legion units."

Only by assuming the worst of another country can we better safeguard the interests of our own country.

Before it was fully analyzed, Mu Yi was skeptical about the safety of the construct terracotta warrior technology.

It is completely unknown whether this technology will have a backdoor that can be used to control these construct soldiers.

Considering this aspect, it is in the interest of the Ming Dynasty to throw it into the battle with the Qing court, and even if there is a backdoor, it will not explode.

This is the best way to use new technologies while avoiding being affected by them.

"How's the analysis of the large construct terracotta warrior going?" Mu Yi looked in another direction, where a huge construct terracotta warrior over eight meters long was being assembled.

"It can store cloud gas and, when used with small-scale constructed terracotta warriors, has a special effect. It can roughly exert a small amount of internal energy to leave the body under the cloud gas."

Huang Tianji showed the simulation test records, showing that a full complement of small construct soldiers led by two large construct soldiers could defeat an equal number of double-talented elite soldiers.

The two large-scale terracotta warriors, like pillars, displayed amazing power in the melee, and each attack could take the lives of several soldiers.

Even in the test of resistance to impact, because of the effect of its own cloud emission, it was able to withstand multiple legion attacks. Even a skilled fighter like Zhou Tai needed two or three hits to break it.

However, the difficulty of manufacturing was too great. Huang Tianji mobilized 70% of the manpower to barely manufacture three, and the resources consumed were also shocking.

"Is there no combat unit that saves both resources and time?"

Mu Yi felt a little upset when he looked at the test results. So far, every unit that could replace the soldiers in combat was basically a big consumer of resources.

It seems that there is no other way, either you save money at the cost of your life, or you save your life at the cost of money.
