A'er Qiman shook his head repeatedly and said: "No... I am not wronged. I am very satisfied!"
Zhu Qizhen seemed very dissatisfied with this answer, and asked again: "Isn't it small?"
"Not small, definitely not small!"
"Don't be nervous, I want to move you to a more open place, for example..."
Zhu Qizhen paused, pointed to the map and said: "The location of the three guards of Duoyan was changed to the Onan River, starting from the Ergun River in the east, to Beihai in the west, and bounded by the Onan River in the south. To the north, there is no limit.
Territory!"
Al Qiman was stunned for a moment, left Daning and returned to Onan River?
This is the sacred place that the Mongols long for. Now that Oara has been destroyed and the Tatars have fled, if the Duoyan Three Guards occupy the Onan River, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that they are the orthodox Mongolians?
For many years, the Oara tribe and the Tatar tribe have been fighting for the orthodox status of the Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, because the Tatar tribe's khan has always been a descendant of the Golden family. Although there have been heroic figures like Mahamu in the Oara tribe, but
Because of bloodline issues, he has been ostracized by the Tatar tribe.
In contrast, Duoyan Sanwei knows that he is far away from the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty. Simply, I will not argue with you about what is orthodox or unorthodox. Whether it is Tatar, Oara or Ming Dynasty, I will listen to whoever gives money!<
/p>
Even so, they are still Mongols after all, there is no doubt about this.
Of course they have also imagined what it would be like if they were in charge of Mongolia.
Unexpectedly, among the three Mongolian tribes, the one who had the last laugh was me, the Uuliangha tribe!
What's more, the territory here is at least ten times larger than that of Daning!
At this moment, Al Qiman's mind was racing. Pies in the sky would not fall for nothing. The emperor's move was not a charity. If you think about it carefully, it was actually an exchange.
I will help you sit on the seat of Mongolian orthodoxy, and you will help me defend the border and resist the barbarians in the north.
Since it is an exchange, there should be a bargain!
A'er Qiman secretly made up his mind and bravely said: "Wei Chen, thank you for your grace, but I still have some concerns in my heart, I don't know whether to talk about it or not..."
Zhu Qizhen seemed to have expected it. He waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. If you have any ideas, please tell me as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Al Qiman hurriedly said: "North of the Onan River is a barbarian land. I heard that there are red-haired and blue-eyed Rakshasa people there, who are like messengers from hell. They are very difficult to deal with. There are also 30,000 Tuotuo Buhua who can attack them at any time.
Wei Chen is worried about the possibility of going south..."
"Worried about not being able to beat me?"
"Yes!" A'er Qiman nodded and said, "Wei Chen is worried that the strength of Duoyan's three guards is limited. If they are captured by the northern barbarians or Tuotuo Buhua, the Ming Dynasty will lose its northern barrier."
Zhu Qizhen smiled at him and said, "I don't like these convoluted things. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Al Qiman smiled awkwardly and said: "Wei Chen is asking if the emperor can equip the three guards of Duoyan with some muskets and artillery. In this way, Wei Chen can guarantee that the northern border of Ming Dynasty will be worry-free!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.
New guns and artillery are the magic weapon for Ming Dynasty to win, how can they be given to others so easily?
However, Zhu Qizhen said with a relaxed expression: "Well... it's not impossible!"
Al Qiman suddenly looked shocked. Although he had returned to the Onan River and nominally became the Mongolian orthodoxy, it would be hard to say if Tuotuo Buhua really came over.
Strength has always spoken on the grassland, and whoever has the strongest fist is the orthodox one.
If there were muskets and artillery, it would be completely different!
This thing is too powerful, with high rate of fire, high power, and that grenade. The Changshengtian is nothing more than that, right?
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful!"
A'er Qiman was ecstatic in his heart. For hundreds of years, the Duoyan Sanwei had been struggling to survive in the cracks between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and had to be suppressed by the Oara and Tatars. Today they finally turned around!
"Your Majesty, I disagree!"
Suddenly, Yu Qian spoke.
Ah'er Qiman was startled. This gentleman doesn't seem to be easy to mess with. If he doesn't agree, this matter will be really difficult to handle.
Zhu Qizhen turned around and said, "Tell me your reasons!"
Yu Qian said calmly: "Guns and artillery are extremely expensive to make. What's more, unless these firearms are the exclusive magic weapon of our Ming Dynasty and are extremely precious, how can we give them to others so easily?"
"Master Yu!"
A'er Qiman hurriedly said: "The three guards of Duoyan are not free, we can pay for it!"
Yu Qian continued: "According to the quotation from Wang Gong Factory, a flintlock gun costs approximately one hundred taels of silver, a Franco light cannon costs three thousand taels, and a heavy cannon costs five thousand taels. Can Duoyan Sanwei afford it?"
”
A'er Qiman made a rough estimate, and then said: "No problem, I want ten light cannons, ten heavy cannons, five hundred flintlock muskets, and I can still get them for a mere hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Haha!"
Yu Qian smiled contemptuously and said: "I just talked about guns, now let's talk about ammunition. A bullet for a flintlock gun costs about five taels of silver, and a bullet for a shell is about three hundred taels of silver. Are you sure you can buy it?
Get up?"
Al Qiman felt that his fingers were not enough. Five hundred flintlock guns were equipped with at least ten thousand rounds of bullets, which is fifty thousand taels. As for cannonballs, at least one hundred rounds were needed, which was thirty thousand taels. This is
Eighty thousand taels.
However, ammunition is a consumable item and I have no ability to produce it myself. I can only purchase it from Daming.
Including the loss of guns...
Al Qiman suddenly understood why Oara and the Tatars were defeated. This was not a war, but just throwing money at them!
If you think about it this way, I really can't afford it...
Zhu Qizhen seemed to see the embarrassment on Al Qiman's face, and said: "In this Northern Expedition, the three guards of Duoyan are indispensable. In terms of rewards, I can give the Qing family five artillery pieces and 300 flintlock muskets. It is considered a reward."
A reward for the three guards of Duoyan."
A'er Qiman nodded repeatedly and said: "On behalf of the three guards of Duoyan, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace!"
Although they are a little lacking, these weapons are tantamount to a qualitative improvement for the Duoyan Three Guards.
"As for the follow-up equipment and ammunition, I have a suggestion..."
Zhu Qizhen pointed to the map and said: "To the north is a barbaric land occupied by Rakshasa and other barbarians. If the three guards of Duoyan can expand their territory to the north, they can exchange the land with the imperial court for weapons. What do you think?"
/p>
Al Qiman suddenly became energetic and his eyes shone.
Seize the land and exchange weapons with the imperial court. This deal can be done!
"Wei Chen has no objection!"
"That's good!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "That's it. Let Yu Qian arrange the rest."
Yu Qian saluted and said: "I obey your order!"
Although firearms are expensive to make, it is a good deal in exchange for peace of mind on the northern border.
What's more, the manufacturing technology of firearms and ammunition is controlled by the Ming Dynasty, which means that the Duoyan Three Guards will never pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
