The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without external wealth.

So, search for military expenses from Korea?

A major advantage of this is that this fee is used to deal with the military's expired weapons revenue. According to the usual practice, it does not need to be included in the national treasury, and the military can control it by itself.

That could be used to support an ambitious naval development program.

Yan Song made up his mind, smiled "kindly", and said with a smile: "Yes. Although the emperor objected to sending troops, the courtiers knew that you had [-] troops, and they changed their attitudes one after another, refusing to let Daming be taken advantage of... ·”

Li Chenggui: "..."

Isn't your sister a gift from you?

Wasn't it you who kicked the truth out?

. .

Chapter 835 The obsolete old arms are too expensive?Love or not! 【4】

Li Chenggui looked at Yan Song expectantly: "Old Yan Ge, can you really give me those guns and weapons?"

Yan Song nodded: "In this regard, I, Yan, can represent Daming and make a decision to sell you Daming weapons. Including the cannons and muskets you saw. As far as I know, the Korean army still mainly uses broadswords and spears?"

Li Chenggui blushed when he mentioned the weapon gap.

Goryeo, swords and spears?

Your sister is treated only by the elite army.

Goryeo has three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, a population of about 1000 million, and an army of hundreds of thousands.But the usual Koryo army is only equipped with bamboo spears!

You heard that right.

It is a bamboo spear, not an iron spear.

Because bamboo guns are cheap.Only an iron spear head is needed to fool them, and the iron spears of the Ming army use high iron and are heavy, and the cost is at least ten times that of bamboo spears.

This is not made up. During the Battle of Munroku Kyungcho when Japan invaded North Korea, the Japanese commander Konishi Yuki recorded triumphantly, saying that the Koryo army was "poorly equipped, mainly bamboo spears, and cut in two with a Japanese sword."

In other words, the Koreans are too backward in terms of weapons.

Even if Daming replaced the outdated cannons and muskets, compared with the original bamboo guns, Nima is also a replacement of shotguns!

Li Chenggui, the lord of Koryo, the chicken was frozen.

He grabbed Yan Song's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with bright eyes: "Son-in-law! This is good! This is a good relationship! How much can I give?"

deliver?

Yan Song looked at him expressionlessly.

Don't get close to me, thinking that calling me a good son-in-law twice will save you money?

Nima called me a good son-in-law?I will give you an extra 3% of the price!

Under Yan Song's gaze, Li Chenggui let go of his hands awkwardly.

Yan Song said indifferently: "My lord, these Ming weapons are embargoed products by the military. My Ming is also in short supply. Although Korea is a vassal state of Ming, we feel sorry for you, but we can't give it to you for free. The price is not cheap."‖ .”

When Iron Rooster Li Chenggui heard that Daming needed money for these weapons, he immediately lowered his head, his face darkened, and said, "My son-in-law, no, Mr. Yan Ge, we are in a difficult situation now, but we can't afford much money." .As the suzerain country, Daming should be more generous."

Yan Song said indifferently: "Oh? Do you think it's expensive, my lord?"

Li Chenggui smiled slyly and said: "As far as I know, even if Da Ming is willing to trade, it is still outdated arms that have been eliminated? Instead of selling scrap iron, this thing is better than giving it to me for free. Hehe."

"Free? Scrap iron?" Yan Song laughed dumbly and said, "Master, wait a moment."

He walked to the door and called Yan Nian over.

Yan Nian ran over: "Master?"

"Those annoying daimyos in Japan, are you here today?"

"Here we come!" Yan Nian said helplessly, "Since the sea opening ceremony, when will they not come?"

Yan Song said lightly: "Go! Call them here."

Yan Nian left to inquire.

After a while, under Li Chenggui's dumbfounded, Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, and Mori Motozuo flocked to him. Seeing Yan Song was like seeing a Bodhisattva, and they all came up and yelled.

"Old Yan Ge, Daming should have seen the sincerity of our Oda family, right? Sell us the cannon!"

"My Uesugi's family gave you three times as much gold as you, so I'll come first!"

"No, no, my Maori family is the most valuable! I am willing to bid 30 taels of silver to buy a cannon!"

"Bah! I'll pay 40 taels!"

"I'll pay 50 million!"

Seeing the crazy energy of these Japanese daimyos, Li Chenggui was in a cold sweat.

Without a word from Yan Song, Li Chenggui was slapped in the face.

Scrap iron?free?

Nima, are you thinking too much?

These Japanese daimyos are willing to buy a cannon for 50 taels of silver.
