There were only two people in the camp, Fu Tingye and Wu Xinyao.
Wu Xinyao looked at him in disbelief, "You said... you want to sell me weapons?"
"Well, the reason why the Liao people gave up attacking Daqi was undoubtedly deterred by the new weapons. Therefore, instead of sending reinforcements to you, I might as well let you bring a batch of weapons back." Fu Tingye said unhurriedly, "Of course , the price will be relatively high, after all, if we in Daqi want to make these weapons, we need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources."
Wu Xinyao was stunned, as if she couldn't recover from extreme surprise.
"This is such a serious matter, it's best for the princess to write a letter asking the emperor of your country what he means." Fu Tingye raised his eyes and looked at her, "What do you think, princess?"
Wu Xinyao: "You mean... you won't send me any soldiers, just some... weapons?"
"The Liao people are naturally strong and good at riding and shooting. There is little point in sending reinforcements. In the end, the only way to deal with the Liao soldiers is with those new weapons."
Fu Tingye paused and then said: "With these weapons, the Liao people will be restrained in a short time. Even if they invade again in the future, the princess will not have to run around asking for help."
yes…
As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. If Nanzhao also had these new weapons, there would be no need to travel thousands of miles to ask for help from other countries.
These new weapons of Da Qi have made the surrounding countries covetous. I didn’t expect that Fu Tingye would sell them so easily...
This should be a good thing, but why... why can't she be happy at all
Wu Xinyao knew very well that in such a transaction, the money and goods would be cleared, so there was no need to rely on marriage to stabilize the relationship, so... Fu Tingye really had no intention of marrying her
Her heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, and she was a little breathless.
"I... I will write back immediately to ask my father." Wu Xinyao took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "So, before that, how many weapons can you sell me?"
"Twenty thousand crossbows, ten trebuchets, and five thousand thunderbolts." Fu Tingye had already calculated the number yesterday. When Wu Xinyao asked, he immediately gave the answer, "These weapons will be shipped to Nanzhao in three batches, each day A group of two craftsmen accompanied them, responsible for explaining the precautions when using it."
Wu Xinyao frowned, "Where are the swords? I know that your new Daqi swords cut iron like clay and are very tough."
"Forging swords is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Our craftsmen will teach you the folding and forging methods for sword casting."
Hearing this, Wu Xinyao's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, "How much does this gold-making method cost?"
"Although the craftsmanship of Yuan is rare and valuable, Da Qi will not use it to make money. Once I report it to the Emperor Ming, the princess can return home with the recipe and the craftsman."
Wu Xinyao looked at him in surprise.
Fu Tingye knew what Wu Xinyao was surprised about. He had a calm expression on his face, but he was unconsciously happy in his heart.
With such a casting method, even the Liao people would try their best to sneak into the Qi army camp and steal it. Even thousands of gold and gold would not be enough to measure its value. However, Hua Qingxue could give it away without any reluctance. Such a broad-mindedness and Her magnanimity made Fu Tingye secretly proud: She is indeed my woman.
Wu Xinyao hesitated for a while and asked him: "Can the amount you gave me be increased?"
Fu Tingye shook his head, "I at least want to ensure that Daqi needs it. Moreover, the weapon production process is complicated and the raw materials are not easy to extract. Even this amount must be transported in batches."
Wu Xinyao bit her lip and finally made a decision, "Okay! Fu Tingye, I hope you will keep your word."
"When it comes to credit, the princess can rest assured." Fu Tingye replied.
Wu Xinyao's face changed slightly when she heard this.
I don’t know if she is too sensitive, but I always feel that Fu Tingye seems to be reflecting her betrayal, intentionally or unintentionally...
But back then... back then they were enemies! Of course she has to do that!
Wu Xinyao stood up and stared directly at Fu Tingye, "You'd better not regret it. Maybe it won't take long before I, Nanzhao, can learn how to use those weapons!"
Fu Tingye's solemn face finally revealed a faint smile, "Since I dare to sell it to you, I'm not afraid of being imitated by your people."
Wu Xinyao bit her lower lip tightly, turned around quickly, and left angrily.
Qin Laowu happened to come in and met Wu Xinyao, but was confused by the anger on her face.
"General, after so many years, the princess of Nanzhao has really not changed at all. She has a very bad temper!"
Qin Laowu's men had already entered the camp, but they still turned their heads and looked out at Wu Xinyao's back. As they looked, they sighed: "General, are you annoying me again?"
"What can I do to offend her? I just told her that there are no reinforcements. If I give them real money, those weapons can be sold to them."
"Selling weapons?!" Qin Laowu's eyes widened, "General! Are you kidding me?! Are we going to sell our weapons to people in Nanzhao?"
Before Fu Tingye could speak, Qin Laowu touched his beard and said, "Such a good thing is nothing more than pie in the sky, but she is not even happy? What is Princess Nanzhao thinking?!"
Qin Laowu couldn't figure it out, and Fu Tingye couldn't figure it out even more. He had been discussing the matter just now, and he had no idea which sentence offended the other party.
However, even if he really offended the princess, he didn't care. Now that Wu Xinyao was asking for something from him, Fu Tingye felt that he had shown enough sincerity by not putting on airs.
"You keep an eye on this side while I go back to the city," he said.
A smile immediately appeared on Qin Laowu's face, "General, are you going to see Miss Hua?"
Fu Tingye was noncommittal, with a bit of joy in his eyes, "I will send you the emperor's imperial edict and reward."
"Go, go!" Qin Laowu smiled like a flower in bloom, "My subordinates will keep an eye on you and keep these people in Nanzhao honest. If there is any news, I will let the general know as soon as possible. Know."
Fu Tingye touched his beard, thinking that after today, he could have Hua Qingxue trim his beard.
I used to have a big beard and didn't think much of it, but now that I have been served by Hua Qingxue twice, I feel a little addicted. I feel uncomfortable if I don't trim my beard.
When he thought of Hua Qingxue leaning down, her soft hands gently caressing his face, her tenderness was like water...
Fu Tingye felt that his whole body was numb...
The general was so obsessed with love that he couldn't extricate himself and left the camp with a happy face.
Wu Xinyao soon learned about Fu Tingye's departure from the camp.
Her guards were standing outside the camp, always paying attention to Fu Tingye's movements. When they saw him leaving the camp, they immediately informed Wu Xinyao.
"He rode a horse, followed by a carriage, which contained the emperor's reward just delivered today, and was escorted by a group of soldiers. He should be going to see the commander's wife."
Wu Xinyao thought for a while, got up and walked out, "Get ready, I want to see who it is-"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Laowu walking over with a smile on his face.
"your Highness!"
Wu Xinyao frowned and stopped walking, "Vice General Qin."
"Do you want to go to the warehouse and have a look?" Qin Laowu's smile was not too bright. "You have to inspect the goods before you can do business with confidence, right? If it's not lethal enough, you won't be able to explain it when you take it back."
Wu Xinyao was silent and nodded, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
She would like to see what new weapon this military commander's wife has come up with, which can actually allow Daliao's cavalry to turn their attack southward.
…
The firearms camp's warehouse has not yet been completed, so the weapons supervisor has opened up a separate area specifically to store the thunderbolts made by the craftsmen.
The ratio of raw materials is controlled by Liang Wensheng, and the raw materials are all purified by Hua Qingxue. The remaining work is to cast the hollow iron balls and make the fuse, so there is no need to worry about the formula being leaked.
Even if they got the Zhentian Lei, they couldn't figure out the ratio inside it, or maybe there were really powerful craftsmen in Nanzhao who worked out the formula, but without Hua Qingxue's purified raw materials, they couldn't make such a powerful Zhentian Lei. Thunder.
Qin Laowu randomly picked two of them from the warehouse and weighed them in his hands. He really liked these black and round things!
No man can resist the charm of gunpowder.
He found it unbelievable, how could such a delicate little lady like Hua Qingxue create such a terrifying thing
"Vice General Qin, is this the weapon you are talking about?" There was no smile on Wu Xinyao's bright and charming face, and she looked at the thunder in Qin Laowu's hand with a cold face.
"This is the thunder that shakes the sky." Qin Laowu smiled, "I will take the princess to see the power of this thing."
After that, he walked out of the warehouse holding two iron balls in each hand.
Wu Xinyao and her maid both looked puzzled and walked out.
Wu Xinyao originally thought that Qin Laowu would take her to the school grounds. Weapon demonstrations usually took place on the school grounds. For example, she competed with Fu Tingye at the school grounds yesterday just to try Daqi's new swords.
As a result, Qin Laowu asked someone to bring in some horses, and the group left the camp! All the way to the foot of Panlong Mountain!
"Why do you come here to demonstrate?" Wu Xinyao was wary. This place was too close to the Liao Bing's sphere of influence.
"This is the junction of Qingzhou and Mozhou. On one side of Panlong Mountain is Daqi, and on the other side is the territory of Liao soldiers." Qin Laowu's smile became sinister, "We used to test weapons, and it's here in Panlong Mountain." During the Longshan test, they heard the noise and got scared, so they didn’t dare to come.”
Wu Xinyao looked at him dubiously.
She had personally experienced how ferocious and brutal the Liao soldiers' offensive was. What kind of weapon could make the Liao soldiers huddle behind the mountains without even trying it? !
How can this be
"Your Highness, are you ready?" Qin Laowu looked at her with a smile.
Wu Xinyao raised her head proudly, "Let's get started."
…
When Fu Tingye returned to the camp from Panshui City, it was night again.
The General, who had just left Rourou Township, was still in a state of turmoil. He came back, but his heart did not come back.
His expression has returned to its usual coldness, but his heart is full of beauty.
Until a soldier came in and reported: "General! Vice General Qin took Princess Nanzhao to Panlong Mountain to demonstrate weapons, and the princess was accidentally injured..."
Fu Tingye was furious, "Asshole! Where are they now?!"
