Murong Fu had also heard of Zhang Baotong. He was also one of the first batch of orphans recruited by Yanziwu. He had no qualifications in martial arts, but he was quite talented in leading troops, so he was brought into Tianshu by Deng Baichuan.
camp,
In just a few years, thanks to his military exploits, he has been steadily rising, and now he has reached the position of commander of a battalion. He has always been famous in Tianshu Camp for his bravery in fighting. Deng Baichuan also mentioned it to Murong Fu several times.
Zhang Baotong saw that Murong Fu had no intention of blaming him, and he stood up with a sigh of relief. After all, the relationship between Tianshu Camp and the Murong family was one of the Murong family's secrets. If this was leaked out, he would probably be beaten.
Stop the board.
Although Shi Lang didn't know who Zhang Baotong was, he had heard of the name Tianshu Camp. For a moment, Shi Lang was filled with confusion. Could it be that the legendary Tianshu Camp was closely related to Murong Fu?
Murong Fu's expression remained as usual, and he waved his hand and led everyone into the Shenlong Sect's main hall.
In the evening, everyone from the Golden Snake Camp also came to Shenlong Island. Although their faces looked tired and their bodies looked quite embarrassed, their eyes were full of indescribable joy.
Murong Fu looked at Yuan Chengzhi and smiled slightly, "Looking at everyone's looks, I guess you have won a great victory!"
Yuan Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "I can't claim a complete victory, I can only say it's a miserable victory!"
What he said was true. The men and horses of the Golden Snake Battalion were similar to those of the Qing army, but like the Shenlong Cult, they had not been systematically trained, and they were not as good as the Shenlong Cult in naval battles. Therefore, although they barely managed to capture the Qing army, they themselves
The loss is not small either.
Murong Fu nodded, asked no more questions, and said instead: "Everyone has worked hard. Shenlong Island will definitely remember the kindness of this aid. I also ask you to rest on the island for a few days, and stay with me on the island."
Once everything goes smoothly, we can discuss cooperation with Mr. Yuan!"
Yuan Chengzhi's face froze slightly. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to negotiate a good cooperation with Murong Fu and leave the island tonight. After all, there was an invasion by a powerful enemy before, and the Dragon Cult did not have time to deal with them. It is hard to say now.
Naturally, the sooner you leave the island, the safer it will be.
Taoist Mu Sang also knew the power of this and raised his eyes to look at Murong Fu:
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Murong. Although I am old, I can still keep up with my physical strength. I don't need to rest. I see that Mr. Murong has nothing to do now. Why don't we discuss cooperation first."
A look of astonishment flashed across Murong Fu's face, and then he suddenly understood, and after a brief pause he said:
"That's fine, but the Shenlong Island weapons workshop has not yet been built. It is hard to estimate how much output it will produce in the future. However, I can promise your camp that once the weapons workshop is built in the future, a quarter of the output can be sold at a price lower than the market price.
Sell it to your camp for 10% of the price!"
Although Yuan Chengzhi is the leader of the Golden Snake Battalion, he does not know much about the demand for weapons in the army and the market price mentioned by Murong Fu. Fortunately, there are also thoughtful people on his side, and a clear voice suddenly said:
"Isn't a quarter too little? According to my estimation, even if Mr. Murong asked all the disciples of Shenlong Sect to make weapons, they wouldn't be able to make many weapons in a year. If it's just a quarter, it's not enough at all.
You must know that our Golden Snake Camp has suffered a serious loss of vitality this time."
Murong Fu followed the voice and saw that it was Wen Qing, a sissy disguised as a man. Although she had deliberately made herself look ugly, she was still very eye-catching.
However, it was related to his own personal interests. Murong Fu didn't care whether the other party was ugly or beautiful. He immediately frowned slightly and said, "How much does your camp want?"
Wen Qing was about to speak, but Taoist Musang said first: "It depends on the output of Guidao. If the output is high, a quarter is not necessary. If the output is low, it should be at least half!"
He still had something to say, which was that the output of this weapons workshop was entirely determined by Shenlong Island, and the Golden Snake Camp had no way of knowing.
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, "Well, Shenlong Island can provide at least three thousand weapons to your camp every month, and can also let your camp customize them, but the price will not be discounted!"
Yuan Chengzhi took a slight breath, wondering if Murong Fu was boasting too much. Previously, they thought Murong Fu only gave a quarter, which was too little.
But when I heard it at this time, it seemed that the weapons workshop Murong Fu wanted to build was quite large, but the price was a bit more expensive. But it can provide so many weapons at one time, so it doesn't matter if it is more expensive, Yuan Chengzhi thought in his mind
.
In fact, not only Yuan Chengzhi, but also Taoist Musang and other senior leaders of Golden Snake Camp also had this idea in their minds. After making eye contact, Yuan Chengzhi finally said: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Three thousand weapons are provided a month, which seems like a lot. In fact, weapons are not much in normal times, but in wartime, they are consumed very quickly. It is best to accumulate more weapons in normal times. With weapons, it can be
Recruit troops and expand armaments.
Although the Golden Snake Camp seems to be powerful now, in fact, it only has 20,000 to 30,000 troops at full strength, mainly limited to weapons and food, so the senior officials agreed without any objection.
Murong Fu chuckled, "It's a deal!"
Immediately, Yuan Chengzhi and others said their goodbyes and left, and Murong Fu didn't bother to make any pretense to persuade them to stay.
After everyone in the Golden Snake Camp left, Murong Fu looked at Zhang Baotong, "How could you come so fast this time? How could you come here from the Yangtze River Basin and prepare a boat to go to sea? I'm afraid it can't be done in just a few days, right?"
Zhang Baotong also looked suspicious, "Actually, we arrived in the Jinkou area half a month ago!"
"Oh? Is there some kind of business?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly came over. It seemed like he happened to catch up with him.
Zhang Baotong nodded, "Young master, you don't know something. Our business is also related to Shenlong Island. The order I received is that if Shenlong Island fights with the Qing army and Shenlong Island wins, we will take Shenlong Island."
"If the Qing army wins, they will assist the Qing army in capturing a person. As for this person, they did not say who he is. Now it seems that he is the young master!"
When Murong Fu heard what he said, his eyes widened with surprise. After a while, he suddenly asked: "How much did the other party give you? Have you got it?"
Zhang Baotong shook his head, "It is said that it is three hundred thousand taels of silver, but I only gave a deposit of one hundred thousand!"
"Kangxi is too stingy. He wants to capture me for only three hundred thousand!" Murong Fu suddenly cursed. After thinking about it for a moment, he naturally knew that Kangxi must be behind it.
Murong Fu also probably understood Kangxi's full plan. According to Kangxi's idea, Murong Fu's army should be fighting against Shenlong Island, and he secretly bribed the Tongtianshu camp to come and watch.
If the Qing army loses to the Shenlong Cult, Tianshu Camp will naturally take action. If the Qing army captures Shenlong Island, they can immediately turn around and deal with Murong Fu. (To be continued)
