Chapter 348 The horses that were not equipped to fight were not delivered to Jiannu, and for the Mongols, they were like the cattle that could not be cultivated in the Ming Dynasty, which were of no value at all.No, those cattle in Daming that can't plough the land can at least be sold for money, because there are many poor people, and there are many rich people in Daming, and there are many people who like to eat beef.In Daming, even if it is a broken leg, or a cow that is too old to work, the value will not fluctuate too much, and it is even said that some rich families will raise cattle, deliberately break the leg of the cow, and then report to the government to kill the cow and sell meat.Daming will have a situation where beef is more expensive than cattle.However, those horses that can't fight, in the eyes of the Mongols, are bad horses, they can't be ridden to fight, it's useless, and the Mongolian steppe really doesn't lack this thing.But the Mongolian steppe is short of food, very scarce, even if he is unwilling, Chen Ying can also find other Mongolian tribes to trade, there will always be many Mongolian tribes willing to accept such a deal.If in the past, Lin Dan Khan could still rely on his prestige to control the Mongol tribes, but now ......
It's all tears when you say it, Lin Dan Khan's prestige has almost become a joke, and everyone wants to come over and step on it.Ezhe let out a long sigh, but this is a buyer's market, and how much money can be sold depends on the mood of others, and he can only accept it, and it is good if he can exchange it.Although it is a bit of a loss for a horse to exchange only six buckets of salt, without salt, the Mongol warriors have no strength, and without strength, they will not be able to keep their pastures and meadows.For the people of the Ming Dynasty, tea is actually just a thing consumed by the rich, and the poor people do not drink a sip of tea for ten or eight years, and their lives are still the same.However, for the Mongols, tea is a necessity of life.The Han people eat cereals, although the taste is slightly worse, but it is better than health.Mongolians who eat cheese, milk beans or mutton, without vegetable intake, are prone to gastrointestinal diseases, which not only affect the combat effectiveness of the tribe, but also make many people miserable.Salt, tea, cloth, and iron pots are all necessities of life, like a shackle, stuck around the necks of the Mongols."
Deal!"
When he said this, Ezhe's face was full of bitterness, as a descendant of the Golden Family, he was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and even more ashamed of Genghis Khan.Although the grain was good, he did not dare to exchange all the horses for grain, but exchanged them for five hundred horses, that is, three hundred stones of salt.1,000 horses, 16,000 bricks of tea.Five hundred sackcloth for horses.1,000 horses for 2,000 stone and 200 stone soybeans.Soybeans are the concentrate of war horses, which can make war horses last longer at critical moments.and three thousand horses, and six thousand six hundred stones of wheat.Chen Ying smiled in his heart, what a big stroke.Once, it was 6,000 horses, these useless horses, for Huaiyuan Town, are 6,000 large livestock that can reclaim fertile land, with the help of these 6,000 horses, they can at least reclaim at least 100,000 acres of fertile land next year."
Little prince, our fair king has always been generous to his friends!"
Chen Ying looked at Luo Shiming and smiled.Luo Shiming nodded and said, "That's right, you are now friends with this king, and this king will give you some more treasures." ”Speaking of this, Luo Shiming said to the guards not far away: "Come on, take the knife!"
”The guards rushed away, and after a while, the guards held a long knife in both hands and presented it to Luo Shiming.These weapons and equipment, in fact, were not produced by Quanji, but robbed in the Fan family's compound, and the quality was not as good as that produced by Quanji, but the quality was much stronger than the Ming army's standard blades, especially the armor, although it was cast with iron, the defense was much stronger than the cowhide armor.These equipment are far inferior, the equipment produced by the whole family army, Luo Shiming's mouth has also become shy, and he can't look down on it.At the beginning, Chen Ying took more than 10,000 young and strong homeless people to Jiexiu, but in fact, they went empty-handed, and when they came back, they were fully armed.This is a very large amount of equipment, and Cui Chengyou didn't even leave a single iron nail for the Fan family.Luo Shiming pulled out the saber casually, and a touch of cold light came out of the box, and the cold air covered his skin.Ezhe's spirits were greatly lifted, and he praised again and again: "Good knife, good knife!"
”Luo Shiming handed the saber to Ezhe: "Try it." ”Ezhe took the saber and swung it a few times, just the right amount, the handle wrapped in arrowroot, rough, but not handy, even if his hands were full of blood, the handle that would not get off his hand when he held the knife to fight, made him like it from the bottom of his heart.He flicked the blade with his fingers, and the sound was crisp and buzzing, apparently made of fine high-carbon steel, which made him love it all the more much.Good steel is hard to find, and such a good knife on the prairie may not be able to be bought even with the same weight of gold, so how can he not like it?
Luo Shiming patted Ezhe's shoulder and said, "We are friends, this king will give you a hundred such good knives!"
”Luo Shiming waved his hand, and the guards understood, and immediately turned around and left.After a short time, two carriages slowly came to the field.Luo Shiming opened the large box on the carriage, and the box was full of this kind of saber, each box put ten handles, divided into two layers.In disbelief, he stepped forward and kicked one of his followers hard, kicking them to the point where he grinned, only to realize that he was not dreaming."
For me?""
Of course, who made us friends!"
Luo Shiming said with a smile: "Wait for next year, this king will gain a foothold here, we will live next to each other, what you need, what I will sell you, the price will not be more expensive, it will only be cheaper." ”Ezhe pulled Luo Shiming and said, "Let's get married!"
Immortal Heaven is above......"
"It's not right!
”Luo Shiming shook his head and said: "If you want to marry Anda, it should be me and Lin Dan Khan to marry Anda, you and my son to marry Anda, we have two generations of friendship, but now your father Khan is not here, and my son is not here, I'm really sorry!"
”With a look of regret on his face, he spoke in Mongolian for a while to a retinue beside him, and then immediately turned over his horse and walked away.Luo Shiming used a saber to fish out Lin Dan Khan.Of course, Ezhe didn't know that Luo Shiming's son Luo Manfu was only six years old, tiger-headed, and still wetting the bed.Ezhe feels that Luo Shiming, the fair king, is a good friend worthy of deep friendship.Chen Ying stepped forward and looked at Ezhe and said, "How is this knife?"
Is it easy to use?
”Ezhe nodded again and again: "It's easy, it's so easy!"
I don't know how much better than our scimitars made of bad iron. ”Chen Ying took the scabbard from Luo Shiming's hand, and then threw the scabbard to Ezhe: "A horse, do you think you can change a few such sabers?"
”Ezhe said quickly: "You don't lose a horse for a handle!"
”Chen Ying blinked, and sighed secretly in his heart: "You kid, it's okay to fight, if you do business, your pants will be clean!"
”"That's not how the accounts are calculated!"
Chen Ying then said: "Our fair king is going to marry Anda with Lin Dan Khan, that is, your father Khan, and you and our little prince are Anda, we are a family, how can a family make money, so let's do it, a camel for three sabers!"
”"Deal, deal!"
Ezhe's eyes rolled: "Our camels don't change food, only weapons, okay?"
”If their tribe had such equipment, even if they were defeated in the face of Jiannu, they would not suffer such a big loss, but against other Mongolian tribes, it would definitely be a complete victory.Now their tribe has less than 40,000 war horses left, and there are three or four thousand camels to squeeze out, and they can also exchange some good equipment, so this winter, they can rob other tribes and have a big fat year.Chen Ying said with a smile: "If it is someone else, if you want to change weapons, it will definitely not work, who made us become a family soon, we have riding bows, foot bows, cuirass, swords, spears, shields, what you like, just change." ”Ezhe cautiously asked, "Can you take me to your arsenal?"
”"Absolutely."
Chen Ying looked at Cui Chengyou and said, "Cui Chengyou, you can take him there." ”Choi Sung-woo answered and took E-cheol to the arsenal.When it comes to selling weapons and equipment, Cui Chengyou is the most professional.The whole family army is in Huaiyuan City, but now it is renamed Fair City, and the arsenal is the original Daming Huaiyuan Town Armory, which is rebuilt, and it doesn't take much effort.However, the entire arsenal has been divided into two, one is dedicated to storing cold weapons such as knives, guns and spears, and the other is dedicated to storing artillery and cannonballs, which is an absolute forbidden place, even Luo Shiming is not able to go just as he says.Cui Chengyou walked into the cold armory with Ezhe, and as soon as the door opened, Ezhe was frightened by the mountain of weapons.There are tens of thousands of long knives for both foot and horse in this arsenal, at least tens of thousands of spears, tens of thousands of riding bows, and the number of foot bows is relatively less, only a few thousand, but the arrows are terrifying, and at a rough glance, there are millions of them, and each one is well-made, although there is a thin layer of rust, but it cannot hide their hideousness.In ancient times, arrows were generally put into a thin layer of rust before they were used, and even if they only lightly scratched the opponent, they could cause tetanus, which was very immoral.So don't see the arrows in the armory rusting and think that the quartermaster is derelict in his duties, and that someone else is simply deliberate.Cui Chengyou was also shocked when he saw these weapons in the Fan family's compound.If the Fan family sends this batch of weapons and equipment to Jiannu, Jiannu will be able to expand the army by 30,000 horses immediately.Looking at so many weapons, Ezhe's saliva was about to flow, and his voice was straight and floating: "Mr.
Cui, you actually have so many weapons stored here!?"
”"What is this?"
Cui Chengyou said with a smile: "The armory of our Daimyo Mansion is terrifying, and each arsenal alone is enough for tens of thousands of people to use it for several years!"
”He casually picked up a long knife for both infantry and riding, stroked the smooth blade and sighed: "What a knife, it can cut seven copper coins with one knife and cut off five rolls of straw mats......"
Cui Chengyou pointed to the mountain of weapons and said: "Little prince, these weapons can be exchanged, just bring as many livestock as you want!"
