The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 351 Population Exchange for Mercenaries

After explaining the situation of [Yanhuang Kingdom] to Mishi Zhuansun a little bit, Mishi Zhuansun and his little friends were stunned. He couldn't imagine what that terrible scene was like. One sentence I said accidentally hit the bullseye, that is, the citizens of [Yanhuang Kingdom] are indeed piled up by people... It is said that the houses where people live are more than ten floors. A building called a "building"!

5000 million main combat troops?
That is really not to be provoked. Although Master Zhuan Sun Mi has [-] soldiers under his name, it is simply unrealistic to travel long distances to conquer [Yan Huang Kingdom]. It is the food and fodder consumed by the long-distance march, which is enough to wear down [Zhongrong County], which has already been consumed for several years in the war.

What's more, [Zhongrong City] is currently the bridgehead against the collapsed army of Zhongyou. The [-] million troops not only need to resist the [-]-foot-long northern [Siguyuan] front, but also guard all directions to prevent the princes under his command from rebelling. , and had to send a large number of troops to strangle the rebel army of the King of Li, to suppress bandits and bandits, and to deter thousands of small countries...

There is still enough troops to do other things, not to mention sending troops to [Yanhuang Country] to extort ordnance and armor. With [Yanhuang Country]'s terrible combat power, it is enough for the county king's mansion not to take the initiative to rebel. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, as a descendant of a family of princes who has dominated [Zhongrong County] for thousands of years, it is impossible for Zhuan Sun Mishi not to know this, but as a king, he still has to show his attitude of dominating the world. As for other things Naturally, the following courtiers and staff are responsible for the problem.

Concubine Ji also "admonishes" or "threats" like a good person: "The personal strength of [Yanhuang Kingdom] soldiers is generally not strong, and it is only about [Jie Pin], but their battle formations are extremely strong. If the Yanhuang soldier is only one person, one of my Zhongwei soldiers can kill five of them in succession without being injured. If people are connected, you can kill ten of me without loss, if you have ten Yanhuang soldiers, you can kill me for fifty undefeated, if there are hundreds of people..."

Mishi Zhuansun frowned: "How?"

Concubine Ji said calmly, "A hundred Yanhuang soldiers can kill a thousand of our Central Guards!"

Master Zhuan Sunmi didn't believe it, and said angrily: "The soldiers of [Yanhuang Kingdom] are so powerful? Could it be that they are all soldiers?"

If the opponents are all warriors, with their strange and unpredictable blood soul ability, it is also reasonable.

"This is just a battle on the plains! If it's a battle to defend the city, a hundred Yanhuang soldiers can prevent my central guards from going to the city with ten thousand people!"

Master Zhuan Sun Mi was stunned, because he found that the concubine concubine didn't seem to be joking, or made others want to destroy his prestige, so he said in disbelief, "Why is that so?"

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Ji stood up gracefully, took out a stack of hand-painted drawings from under the file, and spread them out in front of Master Zhuan Sun Mishi's imperial case: "This thing is an ordnance placed on the city in the [Yanhuang Kingdom] in a stately manner. , named [Tiangong Type 14 - Pendulum Steam Semi-Automatic Rainstorm Pear Blossom Crossbow], it can fire dozens of bullets in an instant, and its strength can pierce stones!"

Master Zhuan Sunmi's eyes fell on the hideous object on the blueprint, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Based on his knowledge, he could naturally judge that if this object was as described by Concubine Ji, it would definitely be a weapon in battle.

"This thing is not very threatening to the fighters above [Ji Pin], if the [Yu Pin] fighters are careful enough to dodge it, but as far as Ji Ji saw it with her own eyes, this thing is on the city of [Yanhuang Kingdom], two feet high There is one in the middle, with holes in the city, dozens of them from top to bottom, stretching endlessly..."

Master Zhuansun swallowed his saliva involuntarily. This object is too fierce. Although there are many powerful people under his command, large-scale wars still have to be completed by those low-level soldiers. Once these weapons are used In the battle formation, I am afraid that the battle situation can only be described by the word "harvest"!
"This is just [Yanhuang Kingdom] placed in front of people to deter desolate thieves and bandits, and passers-by can see it! As far as Ji Ji knows, this thing is just [Yanhuang Kingdom] years ago to deal with Li Wang's rebels, It’s just a temporary countermeasure, no one knows what kind of terrifying battle equipment is hidden in their arsenal!”

Concubine Ji didn't bother to open the objects under the stack of drawings, and said, "It's just this 'steam crossbow'. Equipped with a chariot that is as fast as a galloping horse and wrapped in black iron, it can shoot while walking, extremely fast!"

Gently glancing at Mishi Zhuan-sun, whose broad and plump forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, Concubine Ji slightly pursed her pink lips: "The most important thing is that this thing only needs three people with the power of unawakened blood." Farmers can manipulate..."

Master Zhuan Sunmi's eyes were as sharp as a wolf's, and he fixed his eyes on Concubine Ji: "Why does Shaoji know so clearly?"

Concubine Concubine was not afraid at all, and smiled gently: "Concubine Concubine and her clan brothers and sisters came from the territory of [Iron Furnace Castle] where [Yanhuang Kingdom] is located, and passed through [Sword Rock Mountain] Daofeng Gorge. At that time, the soldiers of Yanhuang did not prohibit passers-by from approaching to look at the ordnance, if the king sent some detailed workers to go there, everyone would know it at a glance, and it would not be surprising."

Master Zhuan Sun Mi stared at the indifferent Concubine Ji for a long time, then licked his dry lips, and lowered his head to look at the peerless murder weapon on the blueprint. He didn't speak for a while, but his eyes became more and more fiery.

Concubine Concubine didn't bother him either, and returned to her seat, sipped lukewarm tea leisurely. After a long time, Master Zhuan Sunmi raised his head and said, "According to what Shaoji said, if this [Yanhuang Kingdom] wants to compete in the wild, , can't I resist it?"

"Why does the king need to say some jokes?"

Concubine Ji smiled and said, "Even Concubine Ji's mother's family had hidden several powerful weapons to protect the clan. The king dominates this county, so why worry about the mere murderous soldiers in this small country?"

"You woman is an elf!"

Master Zhuan Sunmi raised his hand and nodded at the enchanting woman with a half-smile, but he didn't know whether he was praising the concubine Ji Ji for her cleverness, or to blame her for having something to say, but it was the coquettish and well-behaved bowing head that stunned Master Zhuan Sun Mi For a moment, if it wasn't for this woman's unknown background, she would be worthy of being accepted into the palace as a concubine with such intelligence and beauty.

With Master Zhuansun's mentality, he would not be fascinated by the beauty, so he woke up in an instant, continued to stare at the stack of drawings and flipped through them for a while, then raised his head and said: "Shao Ji said that these are not aimless, right? If you have any plans, just tell me!"

"If Your Majesty wants to solve this immediate worry, Zi Ji will present the upper, middle and lower strategies for your Majesty to make a decision."

Concubine Ji Shi Shiran said: "The Qingshan Hou Donglai Juye, it is nothing more than the near-water man who saw clearly the benefits of friendship with [Yanhuang Kingdom], so he stopped [Yanhuang Kingdom]'s national letter and made it more difficult. He overstepped the rules and allowed the [Yanhuang Country] ruler to establish the country, and sold a share of the benefits to that [Yanhuang Country], and only then did he get all kinds of armor produced by [Yanhuang Country]."

"If the king is willing, he can send a team of envoys to [Yanhuang Kingdom] to exchange credentials, recognize the orthodoxy of his country as a county king, and worship him as a brotherly country!"

Concubine Ji talked eloquently: "In this way, we can obtain [Yanhuang Kingdom]'s inclination in the sale of ordnance, and even buy this kind of battle weapon from its hands. This is the best strategy!"

"From Ji Ji's point of view, although [Yanhuang Country] is small in size, it doesn't have too much ambition to compete in the wild. Your Majesty can confer the wasteland and useless land around it to the Lord Yanhuang in exchange for his military equipment. Support from above, this is the middle policy. As for the bottom policy..."

Concubine Ji paused for a moment: "If your majesty is only looking to solve immediate problems, you can spend a lot of money to invite [Yanhuang Kingdom] to come to help as 'mercenaries'!"

Master Zhuan Sun Mi thought for a while. The three strategies mentioned by the concubine concubine all have their advantages. The best strategy is "worship as a country of brothers" is obviously more sustainable. It can not only use its military equipment to calm the county, Even the time can be expanded outwards, so there is no possibility of ascending to the emperor.

But on the other hand, with the support of the county king Zhuan Sun Mishi [Yanhuang Kingdom], I am afraid that the power will develop rapidly. Jieshi is afraid that the tail will not be lost. location is a threat.

As for the middle strategy, the exchange of armaments with the status of a country is obviously not as deep as the friendship of the "British Brotherhood". It is purely a business relationship, but it also has the possibility of helping it grow stronger.

As for the worst strategy, invite [Yanhuang Country] to help out with mercenaries, it is not worrying that it will take advantage of the situation, and it will weaken its national power through war. Master Zhuan Sun Mishi is more satisfied with this strategy.

After thinking over and over again, Zhuan Sun Mishi asked: "How can I get this 'mercenary'?"

Hearing Master Zhuan Sun Mishi's choice, Concubine Ji sneered in her heart, she finally chose this strategy.

With Master Zhuan Sun Mishi's ambition, how could he allow other people to snore beside his couch, now that he knows the benefits of [Yan Huang Country], I am afraid that as long as he frees up his hands, he will attack that [Yan Huang Country] and use his military equipment technology Take it for yourself.

But how does he know that [Yanhuang Country] doesn't need to cling to him [Zhongrong County] at all, and it will rise at an astonishing speed, because they have nothing for [Zhongrong County].

Therefore, Master Zhuan Sun Mi didn't know that while [Yanhuang Kingdom] was still weak, he used it as a help to first use the momentum of thunder to wipe out the external troubles facing him, and then concentrate on solving internal problems. Instead, he planned to use the war to weaken [Yanhuang Kingdom] war. strength, but completely forgot that the battlefield is the best training ground, when Jie Shi asked [Yanhuang Country] to train an army that can fight a hundred battles, supplemented by [Yanhuang Country]'s super military strength, take your [ Isn't Zhongrong County easy?
However, Concubine Ji didn't come here to concentrate on being an aide for Zhuan Sun Mishi, but she planned to use him as a "chess piece" to muddy this pool of clear water and get on the playing field of the "World of Great Controversy" as soon as possible. That's all.

Therefore, since there is internal information about [Yanhuang Kingdom], Gui Jiji will naturally not tell Master Zhuan Sun Mishi in detail, but according to his wishes, the "Blade Mercenary Guild" of [Yanhuang Kingdom] "The situation is informed.

"...The [Yanhuang Kingdom] is not short of money, food and fodder, but because the country is founded by the craftsman clan, there is a shortage of various iron ore minerals. If the king wants to hire soldiers from the "Blade Mercenary Guild", there is no need to ask other To pay money and food, it is only necessary to transfer all kinds of raw materials instead of military pay."

Master Zhuan Sun frowned and said, "No! No! Nowadays, I am also in short supply of all kinds of iron ore ore. There are so many for him!"

Concubine Ji was speechless for a while, you are short of iron ore, are you just reluctant?I'm afraid it will be even more painful if you ask for money and food to hire him. Is it possible that you plan to let them fight for you for nothing?
After thinking for a while, Concubine Ji squinted her eyes: "There is another way, [Yanhuang Kingdom] needs a lot of labor in order to open mountains and mine mines. If the king is willing, he can also migrate some slaves to serve as his army." Firstly, it can reduce the consumption of food and fodder in the county, and secondly, it can also consume other [Yanhuang Kingdom] grain reserves. Once the king wants to conquer him [Yanhuang Kingdom], this large number of slaves will definitely become his burden..."

Mishi Zhuansun's eyes lit up: "This method is very good! There are only 28 common people in our county, and it is already difficult to support 300 guards. Most of the grain harvested every year is eaten by those useless slaves. Oh, isn’t he [Yanhuang Kingdom] short of labor? Allocate half of the [-] million slaves in our county to him, and see if his small country the size of a mustard seed can hold it! Jieshi can’t afford to support it and start a commotion , It is beneficial for the lonely king to come down with a drum, so why bother to survive like this!"

Concubine Ji lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, and said softly, "Your Majesty is wise."

But he sneered secretly in his heart, even though [Yanhuang Country] is not a big place, every inch of land has been used to the limit, unlike your large piece of useless land in Zhongrong County, which is just a stone, when it comes to Yanhuang Even a piece of gold can be turned into the hands of the ruler, not to mention the urgently needed population!
Just for the development of [Yanhuang Kingdom], which originally belonged to [Ironforge Fortress], the land was no more than [-] extensions, and the [-] people of Yanhuang Kingdom were almost treated as cattle and horses by the Lord Yanhuang, which is not enough. ] In the Land of Nine Forts, there are still a large piece of land and mineral deposits that are being classified under the name of "Tiangong Group" by each fortress, which are idle and unable to be developed.

Master Zhuan Sunmi probably didn't know that the fifty million Yanhuang people in [Yanhuang Kingdom] were originally transformed from slaves, right?If you really allocate 150 million subjects to him, I am afraid that within a year, the sphere of influence of [Yanhuang Kingdom] will expand beyond the gate of your county palace!

After making up his mind, Master Zhuan Sun Mi quickly made arrangements to send a team of envoys to [Yanhuang Country], and even used a fleet of [-] sailboats to transport a large number of slaves to frighten that small country.

If a sailboat is fully loaded with slaves, tens of thousands of slaves can be filled like stuffed goods. Even if a sailboat carries 3000 slaves, [-] sailboats can transport [-] million slaves in one trip. Limin, with the speed of "traveling thousands of miles a day" by wind and boat, can only be reached in ten days.

According to the price of the mercenary guild's "acquisition of population", a strong slave is worth a big gold, and this trip can transport a population worth 3000 million big gold. I think we should hire a lot of Yanhuang mercenaries ?
Seeing Zhuan Sun Mishi's high-spirited appearance from the side, Gui Jiji sighed, and offered to ask Ying to be an envoy to [Yanhuang Kingdom], otherwise she would be sold by the gang of profiteers in [Yanhuang Kingdom] and would have to help others count the money !

How much is 3000 million Dajin?

Do you think the mercenaries in [Yanhuang Kingdom] are cheap?Their way of fighting is completely different from that of Dahuang. With the 3000 million gold, it would be considered insane to hire a thousand fully armed Yanhuang mercenaries, and this is not counting the price of their various weapons and equipment!
Having a stingy king like Zhuan Sun Mishi on the stall is enough to make Concubine concubine depressed. He insists on not using iron ore ore to pay for military supplies, and has to use slaves to make up for it, even at the expense of a sailboat fleet. To transport, if we really have to transport 150 billion slaves one by one, even if we don't stop for a moment, I'm afraid it will take 30 to [-] years to complete the migration.

Fortunately, the water transportation in the Great Wilderness is smooth, and the [Yanhuang Kingdom] shipping industry is extremely developed. When the time comes, the first batch of slaves will be sent there, and then the fleet there will be mobilized to carry out large-scale transportation, even though water transportation is much slower than "air transportation" , It takes about three months to go back and forth, which is much faster than slowly transporting by windboat.

Sending the little girl who had been by her side all the time, to "妫訞逸" who was being trained and entrusted him to take care of her, she hurriedly set off on a sailboat. The "slave ship" reappeared in [Yanhuang Country], and as an envoy from the above country, entered the White House and met with Yanhuang's second concubine.

Concubine Concubine had heard a little about Yan Huang's retreat and hidden cultivation when she was still working in the Octagonal Building, but she knew the details better than anyone else, and it was definitely not like what the second concubine said, but this time she was not In order to find out where the Lord Yanhuang is, since the second concubine can act in charge, it is the same to discuss with them.

No one knows what these three extremely intelligent women talked about during the three days of secret talks. In short, when Concubine Ji returned to [Zhongrong City] in a hurry, the two parties drew up a so-called "win-win contract":
[Yanhuang Country] sent a mercenary unit to assist in the battle, and [Yanhuang Country] will take care of all military resources, ordnance, and consumption, in exchange:
The king of Zhongrong allowed [Yanhuang Kingdom] to migrate a large number of slave people.

All captured enemy troops on the battlefield will be handed over to [Yan Huang Kingdom].

The king of Zhongrong temporarily lent the sailboat fleet to [Yanhuang Kingdom] when it was not in a combat state, to transport various military supplies.

The King of Zhongrong allows [Yanhuang Country] to sell Tiangong products in Zhongrong City, purchase all kinds of needs, and exempt from any taxes, but [Yanhuang Country] must promise to pay the guards under the name of King Zhongrong, regularly Supply Tiangong ordnance, Zhongrong Wang will buy it at the market price...

...It seems that Master Zhuan Sunmi seems to have exchanged a group of useless slaves for a strong army, but in fact, it is more difficult to say who took the advantage in the war business!
Among other things, just borrowing a fleet of 7560 sailboats will bring much profit to the "Tiangong Group", no one can imagine that a sailboat with a load of 200 tantalum can be loaded in the standard empty space. Under normal conditions, it can carry up to [-] tons of materials. If it is purely for transportation and does not pursue speed and flight altitude, it can even load more than [-] tons of materials and fly at an ultra-low altitude at a speed of [-] km/h!
