According to the current pricing in the world, if you want to buy a rifle loaded with one bullet, it will cost 150 silver coins. If you buy 5,000 rifles, it will cost 750,000 silver coins. Gao Shaoyi gave this gift all at once.
Not small.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince was not an energy-efficient person. He quickly remembered what happened yesterday. Why didn't Gao Shaoyi send so many weapons in normal times? Why was there so much bleeding now? It was purely because of yesterday's incident.
"My cousin has never been a loser, and there are no outsiders here, so you might as well say it clearly."
Miss Liu Ting played the guzheng very well. At this moment, the two people began to trade with each other based on the sound of the piano. However, this kind of trade was not very glorious and was a bit inconsistent with the artistic conception here.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has been in the royal family for such a long time, and of course he understands that everything must be paid for in order to be rewarded. For goods worth 750,000 silver coins, Gao Shaoyi's request is certainly not small, and the friendship between the two will definitely not be enough.
For this reason.
"My cousin is right. This time we two brothers are going to Nandong Province together. Some of the rights must be in the hands of my cousin. I think what my cousin wants is the big position in the capital, in Nandong Province.
Power shouldn’t be that important, right?”
Gao Shaoyi had already discussed it with the emperor, but after careful consideration, he was still prepared to take down all four military ports. How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?
His Highness the Crown Prince originally thought that Gao Shaoyi asked him to help shoulder the pressure from the Empress. Unexpectedly, Gao Shaoyi changed the subject and ended up in Nandong Province, thousands of miles away. This kid's thinking jumped too fast.
"If the imperial court can take back the three southern provinces from Marshal Zhang this time, the energy, manpower and material resources spent will not be a small amount. My cousin only used a mere 5,000 rifles, which may be a bit..."
His Highness the Prince has not finished what he said, but Gao Shaoyi is also a smart man. If these five thousand rifles allow His Highness the Prince to withstand the pressure of the Queen, then this price is still appropriate. If you want to take over all the rights of the imperial court in the three southern provinces
, I'm afraid this is a bit nonsense, let alone 5,000 rifles, even if it is expanded ten times, it will not be enough to cover three provinces.
"In addition to these five thousand rifles, I will stand clearly on my cousin's side. No matter who wants to compete with my cousin for that position, I will let him know how powerful we are."
After hearing Gao Shaoyi's words, the blood in His Highness the Crown Prince's body began to swell. To be honest, what His Highness the Crown Prince wanted for the conversation here today was this result, but he didn't expect that Gao Shaoyi actually said it himself. It was really a bit strange.
Unexpectedly.
Although the prince knew that the emperor was supporting him and that the other sons were just released to confuse people, the strength in the hands of the others was not weak, and there were also some feudal officials who supported him. Compared with those people, the strength in the hands of the prince
He is not the strongest. He urgently needs a strong backing so that he can stabilize his position. Gao Shaoyi can be said to be the best choice.
After experiencing the initial expansion, the prince quickly calmed down. The power of the three southern provinces is extremely important. They are the three most prosperous provinces in the entire empire. If Gao Shaoyi takes it, it will be even more difficult to get it back in the future.
What's more, Gao Shaoyi is now making a verbal promise.
Gao Shaoyi indeed thinks so. It doesn't matter to us who becomes the emperor. You brothers can fight as much as you want. We also want to be empty-handed. Now I will give you a promise. As long as you conquer the three southern provinces,
Tell me, isn't it just about making a statement in the future? Is there any difference between you being the emperor and being the emperor now?
"Your Highness, are you afraid that I will break my promise?"
There was no answer for five minutes. Gao Shaoyi didn't know what the prince was thinking. Maybe he thought of the other party too simply. He thought that he would be able to take the bait by throwing out a huge temptation. Now it seems that these princes are very
Sun doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Of course not. My cousin has always made a promise, but this matter is of great importance and I have to think about it carefully. But thank you first for the five thousand muskets. I will help you with the Queen's side.
Circumstantial."
After hearing this, Gao Shaoyi's eyes became more and more confused. He thought that the prince was a fool. After being deceived by his few words, the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, the prince would not take the bait at all. What if after returning?
Talk to those counselors, I'm afraid this matter won't be done.
"Then I'd like to thank my cousin first. I don't want to have a conflict with the two uncles. It's just that it involves my sister's affairs, so that's why I did it like this. Recently, our suppressing army retreated a batch of pistols.
, the defense force around my cousin should also be strengthened, I have already brought thirty of them."
Gao Shaoyi snapped his fingers and Sun Qiang brought in several large boxes. Inside were the original revolver pistols. Gao Shaoyi's current troops have begun to use shell guns. This kind of pistol is of little use and its power is too small.
It can still determine the outcome within fifty meters. If it goes beyond fifty meters, it has almost no lethality, and it is relatively slow to load bullets. Compared with the shell gun, it has shortcomings everywhere.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows. There was too much information in what Gao Shaoyi said just now. Many people know that the Suppression Army is a two-gun organization. There are few armies like this in the world. Only some elites are like this.
It looks like that, but it is said that 70% of the troops in the Suppression Army are equipped with double guns.
If all new pistols are used, there will be a lot of old-fashioned pistols that have been retired. His Royal Highness's mind is running fast. If he can get 5,000 old-fashioned pistols, then the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard Army will definitely be the best.
The capital city, of course, excludes the suppressing army.
"My cousin's weapons and equipment are really developing too fast. I don't know if this batch of weapons that I retired has gone anywhere. If not, if I want to buy a batch, you have the final say at the price."
Thirty is too few. At most, it is just for arming one's own bodyguards, which is far from what the Crown Prince has in mind.
Have you finally taken the bait?
It's just that we definitely don't want pure money. In terms of money, Gao Shaoyi has it now. What we want now is territory. If the rapidly growing army doesn't have territory, then why do we need so many troops?
