"The Niu Dudu's words are reasonable, maybe this king thinks too much."

Xiao Ming suddenly realized that he was doing too much now. This was all because of the problems raised in the previous two wars. He always felt that every attack of the barbarians was directly related to him.

In fact, King Liang and King Zhao were the most unlucky for the barbarian going south. Just like King Zhao and King Liang were sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, he now seems to be in the previous position of the two.

Niu Ben continued: "Although His Royal Highness is the prince of the Kingdom of Great Yu, His Royal Highness is now the lord of the domain. We should weigh the pros and cons. After all, when we fought **** battles, everyone was watching jokes. I have always been dissatisfied. For these soldiers, they only have His Highness in their hearts. If they were to die for King Liang and King Zhao at this time, they would not be happy."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly sighed. This is the reality of Dayu Country.

In fact, the people of Dayu Kingdom have no family and nation in their hearts. For them, only the clan and princes are the objects of their allegiance. Now his fief has no clan, and they are the only loyal to him.

Niu Ben now reminded him that it was just to tell him that he needed to give the soldiers a reason to fight, otherwise the morale of the soldiers would be very poor.

"The king understands."

Xiao Ming said, he is now worrying about eating radish first, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the **** is in a hurry, Xiao Wenxuan is so calm, what does he worry about.

While the two were talking, the servant suddenly said outside the main hall: "Your Highness, a general who claims to be Luo Hong outside the door is asking to see you?"

"Luo Hong? Isn't this Luo Xin's brother?" Xiao Ming asked in surprise.

Niu Ben also showed incomprehension, he said: "Why Luo Hong came to Qingzhou, there must be a reason."

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let him in."

The servant turned and left, and after a while, Luo Hong in a uniform appeared in the main hall.

"Luo Hong, see His Royal Highness, see Niu Ben Dudu." In the main hall, seeing Xiao Ming and Niu Ben both present, Luo Hong bowed and said.

Xiao Ming said, "General Luo, please sit down, don't be polite, you don't need these lavish courtesies if you have a good relationship with your father."

"His Royal Highness, if you come to Qingzhou for a visit, naturally you won't be so polite with His Highness, but this time I came to Qingzhou by the emperor's order."

"Oh? Is it Qingzhou that Emperor Father asked you to come to?" Xiao Ming asked puzzledly.

"Exactly." Luo Hong nodded, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ming, "His Royal Highness, please see."

After receiving the letter, Xiao Ming read it. In the letter, Xiao Wenxuan mentioned that there are many signs that are different from the past in the pasture. One is that the barbarians have tightened the sale of war horses, and the other is the trade volume of iron ore and saltpeter by the barbarians in the border trade. Increasingly, the third is that the tribes of the barbarians cruising on the grasslands sent their flag heads to Shengdu. 【】

For these unusual things, Xiao Wenxuan inferred that the barbarians might be battling their horses, preparing to plunder the Great Yu Kingdom again, and let the Great Yu Kingdom surrender to the feet of the Barbarians.

However, in the letter, Xiao Wenxuan did not reveal his previous worries, but seemed ambitious. He only talked about the purchase of five hundred artillery and 15,000 matchlock guns from Qingzhou. All these matters were entrusted to Luo Hong. , Because now Luo Hong is the main general of the firearms battalion, he also ordered Xiao Ming to be responsible for letting Luo Hong participate in the training of the Qingzhou Army, and let Luo Hong become a general who commanded the firearms force like Luo Xin.

"Five hundred artillery, 15,000 matchlocks, big business." Xiao Ming grinned.

Luo Hong seems to have known the content of the letter. He said to Niu Ben: "The Niu Governor, I will rely on the Governor for this period of time."

Niu Ben was baffled by Luo Hong's actions, and looked at Xiao Ming strangely.

With a helpless smile, Xiao Ming gave the letter to Niu Ben. After reading it, he suddenly realized that Xiao Wenxuan was really good this time. Not only did he purchase firearms, he also asked Xiao Ming to help him train the generals of the firearms camp.

In addition to Luo Hong this time, 30 firearms generals arrived in Qingzhou.

The reason why Luo Hong was allowed to join the team was naturally considered by Xiao Wenxuan. One was because Luo Hong and the Qingzhou Army used to fight side by side and were familiar with each other, and Luo Xin was in the Qingzhou Army. This is also a relationship.

"Since this is the father's request, this king can only obey, Niu Dudu, this matter is left to you." Xiao Ming winked his eyes at Niu Ben while speaking.

Niu Ben understood, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

After making this decision, Luo Hong continued: "His Royal Highness, King Liang and Zhao also worry about the barbarian movement this time. It is said that he has sent officials to Qingzhou to buy firearms to defend against the barbarians. It seems that His Royal Highness will earn again this time. It's full."

"Is that right, this king hasn't heard of it, but if this happens, this king would be very happy." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

The two joked with Luo Hong for a while before Niu Ben left with Luo Hong.

After sending the two away, Xiao Ming frowned. Xiao Wenxuan's actions made him suddenly realize that, as Niu Ben said, he didn't need to participate in the war himself, but used the war to make a fortune.

And to train generals for Xiao Wenxuan is tantamount to he is engaged in a proxy war. As the name suggests, he does not directly participate in the war, but sells weapons to the court, King Liang, and King Zhao to fight for himself.

In this way, he can not only stay firmly in the rear, but also make a fortune by selling war materials. What the court, King Zhao, and King Liang need to pay is only silver.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ming smiled lightly. In this way, not only could the barbarians' vitality be consumed on a large scale, but it could also make money. Why not? As Luo Hong said ~www.ltnovel.com~Only four days later, the procurement officials sent by Wang Zhao and Wang Liang appeared in Qingzhou and asked Xiao Ming to buy artillery and arquebus.

This time, King Zhao did not send Zhao Yuanliang over, but instead sent an unfamiliar official over. He probably understood the conflict between Zhao Yuanliang and him.

The same goes for King Liang, who is also a trusted official.

Among them, King Zhao offered to buy 600 artillery and 7,000 arquebuses this time, while King Liang offered to buy 400 artillery and 6,000 arquebuses.

In addition to the imperial court's order, the military workshop now has an additional 1,500 artillery pieces and 28,000 matchlock guns.

"His Royal Highness, the finances of the fief are now a little more generous." Pang Yukun's happy fangs disappeared after learning this.

The huge arms orders brought a huge amount of wealth to Qingzhou. Xiao Ming, who was originally **** with money, suddenly got a lot of money.

With this money, Qingzhou's industrialization process will develop more steadily, and Xiao Ming has to sigh that he still sells arms to make money. For mobile phone users, please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
