Chapter 396 Do you really think he knows nothing?(1/2)
Although Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised that Zhao Fuqu was interested in the technology of his Weiyuan Gun and Polu Gun, it seemed reasonable to think about it carefully.
The message sent to Ye Mingsheng from the Coordination Office stated that although Youyan was still debating whether to attack west to capture Jinyang and merge with the state, or to go south to the Central Plains to compete for Hebei and Yujing, one thing was certain...
······
That is, Zhao Fuqu's Yan army has made a concerted decision to send troops to fight for the world. If they advance westward, they will face Shangguan Hongyuan's general Jinyang General Feng Han and his 40,000 elite troops. If they want to go south,
To seize Yujing, you have to meet the commander of the capital of Yuzhou, Gao Zongchang, who is also from Fangfan Town. Gao Zongchang has occupied Yujing for many years, and his troops are strong and powerful, and he is said to have a hundred thousand soldiers!
Therefore, whether Zhao Fuqu is heading west to Jinyang or south to the Central Plains, it will be very difficult. Relatively speaking, although Feng Han can easily deal with some soldiers with only 40,000 troops, he has the support of Shangguan Hongyuan behind him. If you really beat Feng Han
Too bad, it would be easy to attract the main force of the Forbidden Army under Shangguan Hongyuan.
In such a situation, it is very normal for Zhao Fuqu, who wants to expand his territory, to want to use his firearms technology to increase his strength!
Although things were normal, for Ye Mingsheng, selling things to Zhao Fuqu gave him an extra layer of worry. After all, he, Ye, was just recuperating temporarily. Soon he would naturally send troops into the country to compete in the Central Plains.
As he entered the Pass with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he could only take the land route, which was the Youyan Road. Therefore, Zhao Fuqu was the first big stone that Ye needed to kick to enter the Pass. The current harmonious relationship between him and Zhao Fuqu was only temporary.
It's just sexual. It is inevitable that the two swordsmen will meet...
The ancients said that it is best to make friends far away and attack close by. The Southern Inspection Court was in Sichuan and Sichuan, a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Liaoyang. Ye Mingsheng sold firearms technology to them. Ye Mingsheng can be regarded as an ordinary arms trade, but selling firearms technology
Given that Zhao Fuqu was his potential enemy, this could be considered an act of subsidizing the enemy.
Although Ye Mingsheng had confidence in his craftsman battalion and believed that they could develop the flintlock rifle before he entered the customs, improve the combat effectiveness of his Fengwu army, and form a generational advantage over the matchlock gun.
However, whether Zhao Fuqu is allowed to master the Weiyuan gun or the Polu gun, it will greatly improve Zhao Fuqu's existing firearms and equipment. This will also increase the pressure on Ye Mingsheng and his subsequent entry into the customs.
Seemingly sensing Ye Mingsheng's hesitation, Gu Sansi tentatively asked Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, I heard that the Craftsman Camp seems to be secretly developing a new, more powerful firecracker..."
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised that Gu Sansi knew about this matter, but Ye Mingsheng did not hide anything about his mastermind. He nodded and said very frankly:
"The news you heard is correct. The Craftsman Battalion is developing a firearm called a flintlock gun. Compared with the Weiyuan gun and the Polu gun, the flintlock gun is simpler to operate, has a faster rate of fire, and is more accurate in shooting.
The accuracy and safety have also been improved a lot, and the current development speed is very smooth!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Gu Sansi's eyes immediately flashed with light, and he realized the power of the flintlock gun.
After thinking for a while, Gu Sansi whispered to Ye Mingsheng:
"I have a plan in mind for entering the prison, and I would like to dedicate it to you, sir!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he also had some expectations and said immediately:
"Mr. Gu, please tell me if you have any good ideas. I'm all ears!"
"Sir, Zhao Fuqu's Yan army has geographical advantages in Jizhou and Dai County. As long as they station a few elite troops, they can pose a major threat to our army's entry into the pass. If our army wants to enter the pass smoothly, the enemy's presence will
Naturally, the fewer troops in these places, the better..."
"Zhao Fuqu is almost sixty now, and his health is not good after many years of fighting. Over the years, he has been ready to expand his territory and become an emperor. Now he has finally waited for the opportunity. The reason why he has not taken action yet is that he has not yet taken action.
He has not decided whether to go west or south. On the one hand, he is also worried that we, Liaoyang, will stab him in the back!"
"Zhao Fuqu has been operating in Youyan for many years. His Yan army has been fighting against the Luobei people all year round and suppressing peasant uprisings. It is considered a strong force. If Zhao Fuqu is made to feel threatened by us, then even if he goes out to fight, he will still be in the Jizhou area.
There are heavy troops left!"
"So from the following point of view, if our army wants to enter the pass smoothly, it must show weakness and goodwill to Zhao Fuqu, so that Zhao Fuqu feels that we are not a threat. He can put aside his boldness and mobilize Jizhou's troops to go on an expedition. Then our army
Take this opportunity to stab him in the back..."
After Gu Sansi's words fell, Ye Mingsheng fell into thinking again. Although Gu Sansi didn't mention a word about firearm technology, Ye Mingsheng fully understood his thoughts. The specific operation of Gu Sansi's plan should be to use the threat
Yuan Gun Po Lu Gun's firearms technology was sold to Zhao Fuqu, in order to show favor and weakness to Zhao Fuqu, so that the old guy could relax his vigilance and become careless!
After careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng felt that Gu Sansi's plan was a good idea. Although the Weiyuan gun and Polu gun would enhance Zhao Fuqu's strength, if Zhao Fuqu could reduce the number of troops in Jizhou Prefecture, it would be a good deal.
of trading.
And it just so happened that he had to cut down nearly half of his own troops here, which could also be used to make a fuss about showing weakness to the enemy. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng, who had a plan in mind, said to Gu Sansi:
"How sure is this plan, sir?"
"If we just sell the technology of Weiyuan gun and Polu gun, I am only half sure. If it cooperates with your disarmament move and brings heavy money to lobby Zhao Fuqu's confidants, I am confident that I will be at least 70% sure.
, can make Zhao Fuqu fall into the trap!" Gu Sansi said confidently:
Gu Sansi's determined look also gave Ye Mingsheng a lot of confidence. Ye Mingsheng didn't say much and just wrote a note to Gu Sansi on the spot and said:
"I will leave all the firearms technology matters to Mr. Liaoyang. Due to financial difficulties in Liaoyang, I can only take 3,000 taels of silver at most to give Mr. you as lobbying funds!"
Looking at the approval note handed over by Ye Mingsheng, Gu Sansi waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I don't need a single tael of silver from you! Hu Jian is a rich man. In addition to earning enough money from him, I can also earn you tens of thousands of taels of silver to supplement your finances!"
Seeing that Gu Sansi was so confident, Ye Mingsheng did not force the money over and said encouragingly:
"Then you can kill him severely. If you earn an extra tael of silver, the people of Liaoyang will be better off!"
"Don't worry, sir, leave this matter to me!" Gu Sansi said with a serious expression:

Outside Dongning City, on a beach of Xiaohun River.
Kobayakawa Takahide and the woman in white met again. A rare serious expression appeared on Kobayakawa Takahide's delicate and charming face. The woman in white said lightly:
"What happened to make you so anxious to ask me out?"
Kobayakawa Takahide didn't hide anything when he heard this, and said straight to the point:
"According to my reliable information within the Black Dragon Society, Shen Jianzhong has now appeared in the palace..."
Upon hearing the news, the woman in white frowned slightly and still said coldly:
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I said you may not be interested in the matter of my sister, but your lover will definitely be very interested. You don't want to hear the news for him..." Kobayakawa
Long Xiu turned her beautiful eyes and said seductively:
"I don't want to! Shen Jianzhong has become a lost dog now. He will be destroyed sooner or later. Why should I meddle in other people's business!" The woman in white finished her words and looked towards the river and continued:
"If this is all you care about, then I will go back!"
Feeling the coldness in the bones of the woman in white, Kobayakawa Takahide sighed slightly, pretending to be aggrieved and said:
"Sister, even if you don't worry about your lover, you should also think about your sister and me. You don't need me to tell you to understand that when Shen Jianzhong appears in the palace, he must be in cahoots with that old guy Sato Kaga.
It will be difficult for me if the two of them join forces with your sister. Do you really have the heart to watch me being bullied by those two old men?" As he spoke, Kobayakawa Takahide also looked like he was about to cry.
It has to be said that with Kobayakawa Takahide's charming skills, if he had done such a thing, if he were a man at this time, he would have been obsessed with Kobayakawa Takahide. He didn't know his last name, and he would have wanted everything he wanted from this Japanese young woman.
, I took out my heart and lungs...
But it's a pity that in front of the woman in white, Kobayakawa Takahide's all the charming looks were thrown to the blind man.
"Why do you need me to help? Haven't you already met Li Xuanchang and the others under Quan Rongcheng's recommendation?" The woman in white said calmly:
Kobayakawa Takahide was really shocked when he said this. In order to prevent the destruction of the Black Dragon Society, both of them did this very secretly. Did Morie know about it?
Thinking of this, Kobayakawa Takahide hesitated for a moment, and still said with some doubts:
"Morie, how did you...?"
"I didn't know it just now, but now I know it!"
Before Kobayakawa Takahide finished speaking, the woman in white had a premonition of what she was going to say in advance, so she continued to speak.
Realizing that she had tricked Kobayakawa Takahide, she bit her silver teeth and became angry, and said unwillingly:
"Among your suitors, Mori Hui, Quan Rongcheng is the most young and handsome, and his character and background are the best choice. The most rare thing is that he is still infatuated. My sister is really greedy. If you don't mind
If so, my sister wants to recruit him as a guest!"
Regarding Kobayakawa Takahide's enthusiasm, the woman in white said indifferently:
"I am just a womanizer now. No matter how nice other men are, what does it have to do with me?"
Seeing her sister's indifferent look, Kobayakawa Takahide almost burst with anger, but her strong competitive spirit still made her pretend to be fine and said with a chuckle:
"This Quan Rongcheng's life is really not worth living with Mori Hui. However, I heard that your lover likes wives the most. He had a passionate fight with a widow outside. You said your sister...
··········”
Before Kobayakawa Takahide finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, a strong wind passed by, and then the cold and bone-chilling voice of the woman in white appeared in his ears.
"I promised my mother not to kill you, but if you seek death yourself, you won't be able to blame me!"
Feeling the undisguised murderous intent in the words of the woman in white, Kobayakawa Takahide's plump body shuddered subconsciously, but she was happy in her heart. She finally found the weakness of her half-sister again.
Back then, the family used her mother to make this girl, the girl with the highest martial arts talent in the family for a century, the sharpest sword in the family's hand. But when her mother left, the sword no longer had a scabbard.
, out of family control.
Now she finally found the new scabbard, but this new scabbard seemed to be more difficult to handle than Morie...
Thinking of this, Kobayakawa Takahide looked at his sister opposite and said:
To be continued...
