At the same time, in a deep courtyard in the northeast corner of the capital.: 7769696%65/Does of well-equipped guards were staying on their faces, holding meetings in the courtyard to patrol and guard...

Such a heavily guarded yard, as long as you are an individual, you will know that there must be some ulterior motive secret in the courtyard in front of you...

That's right. At this moment, in a room in the courtyard, several Tartars dressed in Han people were sitting around a Tartar who was wearing Han people. At first glance, there was no difference at all...

When many people see this, they will ask. When the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty are in a state of hostility, how could there be Tartars in the Beijing city of the Ming Dynasty?

What everyone did not expect was that at this moment, there were not only Tartars, but also a large number of Tartars. However, these Tartars were hiding in Beijing, where the Ming Dynasty capital was located, and engaged in espionage activities that were very beneficial to the Later Jin Dynasty.

The heavily guarded courtyard in front of us is the intelligence headquarters of the Later Jin Dynasty in Beijing.

After seeing that everyone was here, one of the Tartars dressed in Han people spoke directly: "Bell, I just received the news that the Tiger and Leopard Army auctioned the medicinal materials and animal skins plundered from our Later Jin in Huifeng Restaurant, and also auctioned five thousand Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry equipped with fire guns..."

"I think this is an opportunity for my Later Jin army to equip firearms on a large scale..."

[

"Although the Khan has built a large-scale musket used by the Han people in the Later Jin Dynasty, for some reason, the muskets we created are not only not as fast as the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also not as far as the Tiger and Leopard Army. After arriving at the battlefield, they are not the opponent of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"The batch of muskets sold by the Tiger and Leopard Army at the auction this time are not only powerful, long range, and fast firing speed, but also the short-barrel cavalry that the Tiger and Leopard Army is now equipped to fire the muskets."

"If we can get a batch of such excellent muskets for the Later Jin Kingdom and equip the most elite cavalry troops of the Later Jin Kingdom. Then, in the future, the cavalry troops equipped with muskets of the Tiger and Leopard Army will no longer be the opponent of my Later Jin Iron Cavalry..."

He was sent to the Ming Dynasty as the intelligence leader by the Great Khan Huang Taiji, and did not give himself the opportunity to kill the enemy on the battlefield to make meritorious contributions... Faced with Huang Taiji's arrangement, Beller, who was surrounded by everyone, has been holding his anger since he entered the Ming Dynasty...

At the same time, I was also fantasizing about when I could return to the Later Jin Dynasty, put on armor, charge on the front battlefield, and make contributions to kill the enemy... instead of hiding in the capital of the Ming Dynasty every day. Even my identity as the Later Jin Dynasty, I could not be exposed, and I lived in the dark sun all day long...

Of course, Mr. Beile also knew that in the selfless Huang Taiji, his idea could only be thought about, and it would not be possible to become a reality...

Unless he can make a war merit for the Later Jin Kingdom that is enough to make Huang Taiji excited, he may not have the chance to return to the Later Jin Dynasty in his life and restore his identity as the Later Jin Dynasty.

Faced with this cruel reality, as time passed day by day, Beller's idea of ​​returning to the Later Jin Dynasty was invisibly under pressure.

Of course, the idea of ​​returning to the Later Jin Dynasty did not mean that Mr. Beile had fallen in love with this job as an intelligence chief. It was because there was no way and he had to do it...

Now, the proposal of his subordinates in front of him directly made Mr. Beile's hope and idea of ​​returning to the Later Jin Dynasty burned again. Under the gaze of several subordinates, his eyes, which were still dull just now, shot out two anticipated rays of light.

A pair of eyes stared at the subordinates in front of him and asked loudly: What you said is true, the Tiger and Leopard Army really bought five thousand short tubes equipped with its own cavalry and fired a musket.

At this time, I had to surprise Master Beile when I heard this shocking news.

Because, looking at the world, everyone knows that the key factor of the Tiger and Leopard Army was invincible and won again and again was the sharp firearms equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army.

And now, the Tiger and Leopard Army actually sold its magic weapon to win...

What exactly happened and what caused the Tiger and Leopard Army to make such a decision?

However, the heart of Beller, who had rekindled his hopes to the Later Jin Dynasty, had no time to think about these messy reasons.

At this moment, full of expectations, he was thinking about the feasibility of his subordinate's proposal and idea.

Since the Later Jin Dynasty was defeated by the Tiger and Leopard Arms again and again, the voice of the Later Jin Iron Cavalry invincible has slowly dissipated in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, facing the increasingly powerful Tiger and Leopard Army, the Khan Huang Taiji took advantage of the situation to propose to form special firearm troops such as the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

However, although the idea is good, it is very difficult to actually do it...

According to Huang Taiji's idea, no matter what, the number of people must reach half of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, that is, about 50,000 people.

The huge Later Jin, coupled with the large number of Han people who were plundered from the Ming Dynasty, it was absolutely very easy to draw the young and strong Han people from it, so that they could ask them to be slaves and become soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han.

However, in addition to people, an army with strong combat effectiveness also has another very important factor, that is, the equipment of the troops.

The 50,000 firearm troops mean that the Later Jin Dynasty needed to prepare various muskets and artillery needed by 50,000 people.

However, where can the Later Jin Dynasty, which advocates bowing, horse riding and shooting, raise so much equipment?

The Great Khan Huang Taiji searched all over the Later Jin Dynasty and found some firearms that had seized the Ming border army.

However, even if all these firearms were equipped with the Han Eight Banners, they would have been equipped with less than 20,000 people.

More importantly, the capture of these firearms from the Ming border army was not only for counterattacks in front of the excellent firearms of the Tiger and Leopard Army, but not even possible to protect themselves.

In this case, for the future of the Later Jin Dynasty and for the early combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Huang Taiji could only place his hope on the craftsmen who had returned from the Ming Dynasty captives...

I hope these craftsmen can capture the firearms of the Tiger and Leopard Army based on the battlefield and imitate the same equipment. Only in this way can the Later Jin army have the ability to fight when they encounter the Tiger and Leopard Army again.

However, what disappointed Huang Taiji was that although these craftsmen imitated the fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-firing fire-fi

Although the angry Huang Taiji killed dozens of craftsmen in a row, the power of this kind of fire-firing musket was still not much improved. It was just much better than the capture of the official army's grenade gun.

After all, the Later Jin Dynasty was not as good as the Tiger and Leopard Army to produce muskets, nor did it have such good raw materials.

In this case, if he could send tens of thousands of well-equipped muskets to Huang Taiji to the Later Jin Kingdom, it is certain that these muskets can definitely be called timely help for Huang Taiji...

Of course, I will also get the attention of Huang Taiji again because of this timely help and return to the Later Jin Kingdom...

Thinking of this, Mr. Beile's eyes that shot out two rays of light were covered by excitement at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, he affirmed in front of him: "This idea is very good... Benbeile can tell you with certainty that as long as we can complete this important task and send ten thousand such well-equipped muskets to the Later Jin Kingdom, all the warriors will become warriors of the entire Later Jin Kingdom..."

"So, Ben Baylor, completely agrees with this proposal...not only agree, we also need to start taking action right away..."

After receiving the affirmation of Mr. Beile, the expression on his subordinates did not show any smile at all, but reminded him with a worried look: "Mr. Beile, after the auction ended, the slave had a brief contact with the representative of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the capital as a merchant..."

"As long as we have silver, they will sell it to us...but the price offered by the Tiger and Leopard Army is very high... With the 500,000 taels of silver we have in our hands, we can only buy two thousand such muskets from the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

As soon as my subordinate finished speaking, a scream rang out in the room...

"Master Beile, this is simply a robbery... 500,000 taels of silver and 2,000 muskets. After all, the price of a musket has reached 250 taels. And the price of us buying a mesh rope gun from the Ming border army is only more than 100 taels of silver. Such a good price is definitely the price of the tiger and leopard army..."

Amid the exclamation of his subordinates, Mr. Beile also showed a look of approval on his face. He frowned and asked back to his subordinates in front of him: "We bought so many muskets at one time, are there no negotiations on the price?"

After seeing his subordinates shook his head helplessly, Mr. Beile fell into deep thought.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, a look of firm expression appeared on Mr. Beile's face.

After taking a deep breath, he decided to his subordinate in front of him: "A good musket costs 250 taels of silver, it's nothing. Benbele believes that even if the Khan is here, he will support Benbele's decision very much."

"So, Benbeile decided that no matter how high the price, we would buy 10,000 of these muskets first and send them back to the Later Gold. If possible, we could also buy some cannons that can fire flowering bullets from the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"As for the shortfall in the silver, Benbeile will find a way... If it really doesn't work, he will directly use the Khan to make us buy millions of taels of silver from civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. If something goes wrong, Benbeile will take responsibility..."

"However, Benbeile believes that with the eyes of the Khan, even if he knows Benbeile's decision, he will not say much. Because Benbeile did these things for the future of the Later Jin Kingdom..."

After saying that, Mr. Beile's face was covered with a strong and firm expression. (To be continued...)
