The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Page 218

The Qin army arrived at the Yellow River and successfully crossed the river.The work of crossing the river takes up to three or four days.And a lot of materials must be kept up in time.So it took a long time.But this is already the fastest speed.

Just when the Qin army was crossing the river.Embassies of the six countries began to be established in Qin State.The first to be established was South Korea.The ambassador is Zhang Liang.The counselor is Uncle Han.Uncle Tongshu.This is the name of Princess Liu Yi.For the convenience of doing things in Qin.Such a name was used.

With the first.A second home was also set up.The Yan State Embassy was also established as soon as possible.The difference is that Yan's embassy is very busy.People come and go so lively.The people who come and go are all businessmen.A furrier and horse dealer in Yan State.The reason they were called together.Just to do something big.Arms smuggling.

Since Yan State relies heavily on Qin State's firearms, they believe that this is the only way they can maintain the current situation.Therefore, Ju Xin served as the ambassador.The establishment of this embassy.He also requested to set up such a sign after seeing the establishment of such a sign in South Korea.The difference is that South Korea's goals are not clear.He is very clear.

His purpose is only one, and that is arms.In the beginning, Qin used its own businessmen to smuggle arms.After arriving in the other party's territory, they immediately changed hands and sold them.The other merchant made a lot of profit after selling it.As a result, the place bordering Qin State became the largest arms distribution center.Merchants from all over the world began to gather here, and they spent huge sums of money to buy muskets.

Ying Yu is happy to get what she wants.The muskets she produced were all outdated Wenyang style muskets.However, for the six countries that lack effective firearms.This is already an advanced weapon.The Six Nations not only sold it to the army, but also began to set up a musket escort team.Use muskets to become a symbol of power or not.This suddenly opened up the market, because it was not only the armies of the six countries who bought the muskets, but also those princes of the six countries who had a large number of fiefdoms.

Arms smuggling has intensified.However, the special geographical location of Yan State is too remote.Also the amount of gold they use is very limited.This makes them very disadvantageous in the arms trade.Ju Xin knew about this situation only through the merchants of Yan State.In order to improve the extremely unfavorable situation of Yan State in the smuggling of arms.The drama can be described as painstaking.

On the one hand, he asked his country to start looking for gold mines.At the same time, they also began to use some special products of Yan State in exchange for arms.Ginseng, precious leather, wood.Even a request to cede the land was made.So the trade between the two sides opened up like this.Yan country exports raw materials.And Qin smuggled arms.A large number of muskets began to flow into the country of Yan with a tendency.

Because the price of raw materials in Yan country is extremely low.One good ginseng is only exchanged for five muskets.Such a trade balance, how can Qin Guo not be tempted.With such a huge difference, even Yingyu set up a trading company to participate in it.Because she has a lot of arms.So she has the best deal.And often directly.

Merchants in other countries still use traditional gold transactions.Gold flowed to Qin.Although the State of Qin stated that it did not prohibit the circulation of gold.But gold is extremely heavy.National bonds are relatively simple, if you open an account.That's more convenient.So a large amount of gold began to enter Yingyu's bank.

Just when Qin's smuggled arms trade was on a large scale.Zhao and Qi finally made their move.

As early as when the Qin army set out, the merchants of Zhao State issued a business report.It is said that there are signs of large-scale mobilization in Qin State.Because a large number of chariots and horses began to transport things to the west at night.However, it seems that roads have been being built in the west recently, which did not attract Zhao Guo's attention.Li Mu didn't know anything about it.He is training.Especially musketeers and cavalry.Zhao Guo bought a large number of muskets from smuggling.These muskets were equipped with nearly 5000 people in a short period of time.

But then some intelligence began to show that the Qin army had already started.Zhao Guo was still unconscious.Qi State didn't even know about it.Because the signal to start a war is Zhao Guo sending troops.

When the Qin State escorted a large number of prisoners of war to Xianyang.Only then did Zhao Guo suddenly realize.

"Quick, quick. Quick, pass on the king's order to General Li to send troops quickly. Quick." Zhao Wang gave the urgent order after receiving the definite news that the Qin army had sent troops for more than 20 days.The reason why King Zhao is so anxious.It's because he's afraid.He was afraid of Qin, a country of tigers and wolves.Now he is biting Yuezhi with all his strength.If he once opened his mouth to bite Zhao Guo, then Zhao Guo would definitely die.Before he killed Bie, only he became stronger.It is impossible to bite.

"Hmph. I will annex the country of Yan and expand the land. I will compete with you, a country of tigers and wolves." King Zhao suddenly became angry.

"Your Majesty, you are so courageous that you don't even pay attention to the State of Qin." A concubine said softly, wrapping her jade-like arms around King Zhao.Zhao Wang instantly changed into another look.

"The widow is so male now. Haha." Zhao Wang said and threw the concubine down.

But now Li Mu has some headaches.This order from King Zhao was too hasty.You can send troops.How to arrange food and grass.Although he had known for a long time that he would send troops to the country of Yan.However, the grain and grass were not delivered for a long time.Li Mu was very annoyed.In fact, some grain and grass of Zhao State began to be embezzled privately by some princes and ministers.Where did you go?where else to go.Qin State.Why?who knows.

Li Mu didn't know about these situations.But the king's order is here.Li Mu had to send troops.If you refuse to send troops.Then Zhao Wang reprimanded him in court again.When had Li Mu been so insulted?Think of being loyal to your country.He swallowed again.

"Sigh. Send troops." Li Mu ordered helplessly.

"But general, the food and grass in the army..." asked a Sima in the Zhao army.

"Use the reserve rations." Li Mu ordered.The reserve rations were accumulated by Li Mu privately.Because there is a certain amount of deduction for food and grass every time.But every time Li Mu couldn't find out.In order to allow Zhao Jun to maintain combat power.As a last resort.

In this way, Zhao Jun started at Zhao Wang's urging.An army of one hundred thousand began to march towards the country of Yan mightily.The Qi army gathered at the border of Zhao and Yan heard the movement.Escalate quickly.After the victory, King Qi ordered to send troops.

So the Qi army also began to send troops.Their number is slightly smaller, only [-], but they are equipped with muskets, and the number of artillery far exceeds that of Zhao Jun.

The two armies formed the horns of each other and marched separately towards the country of Yan.And all the defensive forces of Yan State are in the direction of Zhao State, in response to Qi State's troops.They were stunned all of a sudden.

336 Ice Cube Attacks!

Send troops to Zhao and Qi.Qin Guo obviously already knew about it.At the same time, Qin Guo also began to become less sensitive.The war has begun.Qin Guo became calm instead.

War is nothing to fear.Losing your composure in war is terrible.Qin Guo just had an illusion of self-consciousness.But it's all right now.Qin State began to re-see the dynamics of the six countries.

Zhao and Qi jointly sent troops to attack Yan.All of a sudden, three countries are involved.And the other three clearly didn't want to get involved.The purpose now is to find a way to let Yan Guo hold back Zhao and Qi.

The war has just begun, and the actions of both sides have not yet been clearly seen. In particular, both sides have smuggled arms through Qin to equip a large number of firearms.Even the Qin State still can't figure out the details of the tactics of warfare.Under such circumstances, Qin Guo chose to remain silent.He watched the development of the battle coldly.A large number of Qin observation groups began to appear in Zhao State, Qi State, and Yan State, and they checked the tactics of the Three Kingdoms in all directions.Then quickly report to the country.The style of warfare has undergone a qualitative change.

Shang Wen didn't know the dynamics of the Six Kingdoms. What he knew was that as long as the Qin army crossed the Yellow River safely, he could go back to Xianyang safely.Been here for almost 20 days.The Qin army was crossing the river every day. The infantry and cavalry were okay, they could go directly, but the artillery was very difficult.Now the weather is surprisingly warm, and many places on the ice are no longer suitable for artillery to cross the river.There is also the luggage team, which has higher requirements on the ice surface.Their load capacity has been greatly improved.Straight across the river.Obviously, they had to be prepared to swim in the river.

For this reason, Wang Jian had no choice but to mobilize an engineering battalion to erect the pontoon bridge.But the speed is still very slow.As a last resort, Wang Jian continued to deploy an engineering regiment.This is the elite force drawn from the repair road.The pontoon bridge was built though.However, the traffic capacity was very poor. As a last resort, the artillery units began to find some places with thicker ice to cross the river.

"Hey, hey." The artillerymen of the Qin Army pushed an infantry five-inch artillery hard.Unfortunately, the cannon got trapped in a patch of ice.

"Crack. Crack.?

"Platoon leader, this won't work. The ice is too shattered. Brothers push hard, it's broken too hard." An artillery sergeant said.

"Here. Forget it. I think everyone should take a break. I'll go and call a few more people." With that said, the platoon leader was about to call for people.

"Listen." A second-class soldier pricked up his ears and said.

"What?" asked the sergeant.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."Everyone started to prick up their ears.They faintly heard a roaring sound.

"Look, what is that?" A corporal who turned around pointed to the distance.

"What's that?" The platoon leader looked into the distance curiously.In order to see the distance clearly.The platoon leader pulled out his binoculars to check.

Not only the platoon leader, many people began to notice something was wrong.A sergeant standing on the roof shouted: "No, it's ice. A lot of ice is rushing over. Everyone get out of the river. Quick, quick." He shouted loudly.

So many people began to quickly pass through the ice and the pontoon.Gendarmerie began to prevent soldiers from crossing bridges and rivers.For a while, the entire river crossing began to become tense.After Shangwen heard the movement outside.Also started to go out to check the situation.After Shangwen learned that there was a lot of ice on the river, he was also very puzzled.

"Sir, what happened?" Wang Jian asked eagerly.

"I don't know the specific situation. But some soldiers reported that there were a lot of ice on the river. I have to check the situation." Shang Wen eagerly walked towards the river.Then take a look through the binoculars.

Through the binoculars, Naofumi finally saw the situation clearly.A large number of ice cubes began to appear on the calm ice surface.These ice blocks began to surge towards here on a large scale.

"What is this?" Wang Jian asked in horror. He said that the reason for his panic was that the ice blocks completely blocked the river crossing.

"I don't know." Shangwen quickly recalled the situation in front of him in his mind.What is the situation, how could there be so many ice cubes.

"Damn it. Hurry up." Those artillerymen dragged the cannon like it was on fire.

"Put harder." The platoon leader was so anxious that he was sweating.

Shangwen thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the situation was, and it was not enough to remember, so he had better do the work in front of him.

"Quickly, let everyone leave the river crossing, and prohibit everyone from crossing the river now." Shang Wen ordered.

"My lord, it has already started." The guard replied.

"Oh." Shangwen agreed.

"Then, why are there still people?" Shangwen pointed with his finger.

Saying that, Shangwen took a look through the binoculars again.

"Tell those people not to use cannons anymore. Tell them to go ashore quickly. Hurry up!" Shang Wen shouted loudly.

"Equipment doesn't matter. People are the most important thing. Equipment can be rebuilt, and everything is gone after death." Shangwen looked anxiously at the ice.

The ice cubes rushed to the eyes quickly.People finally saw this magnificent scene clearly.The river water flows past the eyes with large chunks of ice in it.
