The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

The stacked flintlock boxes were high.Such backward weapons should have disappeared in the Western Regions.Because the combat effectiveness of the flintlock can no longer meet the combat requirements of the entire Western Region.The strength of the Qin army in the Western Regions has been at a disadvantage for a long time.The Qin people finally won the Western Regions and gained a foothold in the Western Regions, relying on their superiority in firearms. The Qin people made up for their disadvantages in military strength with their huge advantages in firearms.

But what I didn't expect now is that the people of Qin did not hoard superior firearms on a large scale, but kept transporting these outdated flintlock guns, and sold these flintlock guns to their enemies by smuggling.This somewhat displeased King Qin.

King Qin took a sip of water.He didn't say anything, and listened to Xiao Er's introduction.Qin Wang felt that the specific situation of the front line in the Western Regions still needs to be looked at.The Western Regions controlled by the State of Qin have already made King Qin feel a little uneasy.Xiao Er mentioned that the role of Qin mercenaries began to decrease, and they turned to the role of merchants, and the role of merchants became more and more important.This somewhat worried the King of Qin, and the King of Qin was worried that such collaboration with the enemy and trade might have a great impact on Qin's security in the Western Regions.

Just when King Qin was worried about the safety of Qin's Western Regions, the same thing was going on in the direction of Qin's northern Huns.

"Who is it?" At this time, a corporal of the Qin Army jumped out of half of the trench with a bayonet-mounted rifle and shouted loudly.Because it was daytime, the Huns basically would not aggressively attack the Qin army's northern defense line during the day, and at the same time they would not quietly cross the Qin army's defense line without causing landmine explosions.This prevented the soldiers of the Qin Army from shooting immediately.

"It's me." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, wearing a white sheepskin jacket, shouted loudly.

"Xiao Liu." The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted loudly.

"Oh. It's you Xing." The corporal put away his gun at this time and said.

"Yes, Xiao Liu, it's me. Xiao Liu." The thin man shouted.

"Damn it, you got something rich again." The corporal of the Qin Army shouted loudly.

"Nothing." Xiao Liu said.

"It's just some stones." Xiao Liu said.

"These stones are needed in the Guanzhong area." Xiao Liu said.There is only one Xiaoliu.There are no horses to walk on the grasslands or deserts.This situation is indeed very strange.

Xiao Liu is not from Qin, he is from Chu, because Chu cannot survive.Only then did he immigrate to Qin State to bring the north, and the ups and downs of life gave him a lot of experience. He has been to many places, Zhao State, Handan, Yunzhong, Yan State, Yandu, Liaodong, Qi State, and then quickly went south to Xinzheng, South Korea. , and then arrived in Xianyang of Qin State, and finally settled on the northern grassland of Qin State along the railway going north of Qin State.

It is impossible for Xiao Liu to sell his strength, because he is too thin.The long-term life of displacement made him malnourished.Therefore, he is thin and small.But he has his advantages, his ups and downs of life, let him see extraordinary, know what kind of person needs what.After Xiao Liu came to the north, he gradually got used to it, especially dealing with those honest and thick Huns, which made him more comfortable.

Xiao Liu had dealt with slaves of the Xiongnu. Although the simple and honest Xiongnu were powerful on the surface, their folk customs were very simple.This kind of character makes him very flexible.

Xiao Liu, who has been to the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State, knows that Qin State urgently needs a kind of stone, which is very hard.It looks very black and shiny, but Qin does not produce such stones.Such stones can only be found in the far north occupied by the Huns, and such a place of origin is today's Siberia.There is a kind of diamond produced there. This kind of diamond comes from the washing of the river. The local people can only pick it up from the river by accident. The local people only use this hard stone as a weapon, or an arrow, or use it as a weapon. , or, the most precious decorations to use, such a stone appeared in the Qin State at that time was very accidental, and Qin State noticed it.

The state of Qin used to mop up the tribes of the Xiongnu continuously. After the people of the state of Qin swept away the tribes, they would take away everything and burn everything that could not be taken away. There had been conflicts between the Huns and the locals in the north. It happened to the Huns by chance, and after the Qin State killed the Huns, they thought that the granule hanging around their necks was the most precious thing, so they took it back.

But this kind of decoration is black and shiny, and has no practical use, and then it was sold to Xianyang in Qin State at a low price.Because people have no use for this kind of thing, it was also a very accidental opportunity, a gun barrel worker in Qin State bought such a thing.Maybe out of curiosity, maybe out of boredom.In short, after purchasing, it is useless, but I just curiously hold it by my side and play with it.Due to professional habits, the barrel needs to be drilled, and the drilled hole requires special steel.After drilling for a long time, the drill bit made of special steel is easy to wear.Perhaps for fun reasons, the worker put the rock on the drill bit and a miracle happened.After continuous drilling, especially after exceeding the drilling limit of those special steel materials, this unremarkable stone attracted the attention of the workers, and then this stone was sent to the laboratory of Qin State, but the researchers of Qin State I don't know why this thing is so hard, but the people of Qin call it a diamond, because this kind of stone can be used in drill bits.The development of Qin State's industry especially needs such drill bits to further improve the technology.

Therefore, Qin State immediately conducted an investigation, and finally found out that such stones were produced in the north of the Huns, so the people of Qin State began to search vigorously, but the harvest was very scarce. In desperation, Qin State could only place its hopes on those merchants.It seems that there is nothing difficult that no businessman can't do.

And Xiao Liu is such a businessman. The purpose of Qin State to go to the north occupied by the Huns is to find such a stone. The price of this small stone is as high as [-] gold.Such huge profits are enough for businessmen to take enough risks to go to the area controlled by the Huns.Looking for such stones was also such an incentive, and Qin State subsequently obtained a large number of such diamonds.

In the state of Qin, diamonds were not ornaments, but an important industrial resource.This industrial resource will increase the level of industrial manufacturing greatly.Qin State needs such resources.

"This trip will make a lot of money," said the corporal, holding up his rifle.

"En. I've earned it. Give brother some wine." Xiao Liu said.

"Hey, you are still loyal enough." Corporal Qin Jun said.

"Come on," said the corporal.

"Okay." Xiao Liu smiled and left.

Watching Xiao Liu leave.The corporal muttered to himself.

"I don't know how many broken guns were used to exchange so many valuable things." The corporal said to himself.Then continue to look at the scope of your observation.

At the beginning, the trade with the Huns was very difficult, mainly because of the huge hatred between the two.However, with the passage of time, after the Xiongnu gained a firm foothold, they began to recover quickly, and at this time, Qin was unable to attack further because of its limited military strength.This caused the Huns to have time to restore their national power, but unfortunately, the tribes of the Huns, large and small, began to fight among themselves. Such infighting began to allow the Huns to introduce a weapon, which was a weapon they were all afraid of, and advocated violence. The Huns need a lot of muskets to subdue each other. Only in this way can the opponent obey.

And Qin's muskets gave the Huns a devastating impression.This impression made the Huns try to get muskets from the Qin people, and the Qin people made a lot of such muskets, and they just took advantage of the opportunity to sell such muskets to places where they were needed.Moreover, the continuous arms business can bring huge profits, but the north of Qin State is hostile.The stalemate in the war has caused a short-term rise in trade, whether it can continue.It also depends on whether Qin's policy allows commercial activities.

"The State of Qin has not made a decision for a long time. If this continues, it may be very detrimental to us." Zhang Liang said.

"Qin also needs to make its own judgment based on its own situation. This judgment comes from the people of Qin's own understanding." An assistant said from the side.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded, agreeing with this opinion.Qin State has not responded for a long time. Although Zhang Liang knows that it will take some time to sign the alliance treaty between the two countries, such a long wait may be detrimental to South Korea, and a long wait will be detrimental to South Korea.

"Perhaps, some conditions are not mature enough, and we still need something to make the Qin people make some moves. But, what are these conditions?" Zhang Liang asked.And the assistant at the side looked at Zhang Liang inexplicably.

"Wait, time will tell." Zhang Liang looked at the assistant and said.

On a mountain road in a hilly area in the south of Qi, a logistics supply convoy of the Chu army is slowly advancing, and the army is consuming more and more supplies.And the convoys for transporting logistics supplies are getting longer and longer, but Chu State can no longer dispatch more convoys for logistical supplies.Coupled with the harassment, the Chu State could only collect more than 100 vehicles of supplies and send them out quickly.Such a convoy delivery method greatly dispersed the few guardian forces.As a result, the Chu army's logistics supply line is extremely weak.However, Ying Yu's guerrillas grew rapidly under such a favorable environment.

"Is the cannon ready?" A guerrilla officer whispered.He had already received information from the scouts, saying that a convoy of more than 100 ox carts was coming here.

After receiving such information, the guerrillas immediately prepared to ambush the opponent, and then waited for the time to launch an attack quickly.

"Sir, we have cannons, don't be afraid of them, the Chu people have very few guards now." A young Qi man approached with a knife.The weapons of the guerrillas are still very scarce. Even though they seized a large number of weapons from the Chu army, the expansion speed of the Qi guerrillas is also very fast. It quickly expanded into a regiment, and then a brigade.The establishment is getting bigger and bigger, but the tactics are still ambushes and sneak attacks.Such rapid expansion led to the problem that two-fifths of the guerrillas still lacked weapons, especially muskets.On average, three or four people have a musket. Such a scale prevents them from fighting many wars.Fortunately, the Chu army kept transporting some artillery, and the captured artillery allowed them to use some average manpower.

"We have to be careful. Once we meet the big troops of the Chu army, we won't be able to eat them. Many people were beaten to death. The chief won't let us do this. You know." The Qi guerrilla officer said.It is said to be officers, in fact, it is to select some experienced people, select them as officers, and then conduct some concentrated training, and then disperse them. After a few ambushes alone, they can independently lead a team Most of the officers of the army and guerrillas were promoted in this way.

"En." The man from Qi with the knife left cautiously.

"Clatter." As he said, a group of bullock carts appeared on the road.

"Crack, creak." The wheels of the bullock cart made a harsh friction sound.Chu Jun and the civilian husbands walked feebly.

"They're coming." A guerrilla whispered.The others didn't speak, they just watched quietly, watching these Qi people slowly approaching.

"Click." Some guerrillas carefully opened the fire door, and slowly put their fingers on the trigger.

"Fight." A word came out from the mouth of the Qi guerrilla officer.

"Bang." A gunshot broke the silence.

"Boom." Immediately after another launch, there was a huge roar.

"Boom." Chu Jun's convoy was overturned in an instant.

"There is an ambush." ​​The Chu soldier shouted loudly.

"Bang bang. Bang." The sharp gunshots shot from the side instantly, and many Chu soldiers fell to the ground.

"Run!" The Chu army who was attacked immediately scattered and fled.

"Kill." After a round of shooting.The Qi guerrillas immediately launched an attack because they used flintlock guns. The poor reloading of the flintlock guns made the Qi people very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Helpless, she adjusted her tactics in time.

If the Chu army is particularly large, and her own strength is sufficient, she will choose to organize some places where continuous firing is carried out, but if the number of the opponent is not large and her own strength is not too sufficient, she should change her tactics and stop firing. Instead of organizing multiple consecutive launches, a one-time launch tactic is adopted.After a shot, all immediately launched a charge.

Use the first firepower to suppress the opponent, and then rush up quickly.Defeat the opponent, this is a flexible tactic.And this time the Qi guerrillas adopted such a tactic.
