Chapter 627 Summation
Li Jing was not willing to sell tens of thousands of sets of weapons to the Khitans.
However, if the Khitan civil strife continues, Li Jing must also give the Khitans some substantial support. Otherwise, if Hende Khan is defeated, Diela tribe will regain control of the actual control of the Khitan, which will be very bad news for Li Jing.
Hende Khan must change the current decline of repeated defeats. Hende Khan held on, and for Li Jing, it was better than tens of thousands of soldiers.
Li Jing had already agreed to sell these weapons to Hende Khan, but even if he thought about the importance of Hende Khan, his ally, he would never do a loss-making business and would not give them a large number of weapons for free.
The cost of the armour cost 1 million yuan, the factory price was 1.5 million yuan, and Li Rang spoke 2 million yuan. Li Jing didn't think there was anything wrong. Even the brothers had to settle the score clearly, not to mention that the other party was a Khitan.
When Yaonianbade heard that the price of these batches of weapons suddenly increased by 30%, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Two million coins are not small numbers. Trading between the grassland and the Central Plains has always been barter. The things that Hengde Khan can trade were war horses, cattle, sheep, fur, herbs, minerals, etc., but after the war started, Hengde Khan was not at hand.
Yao Nianbad came and brought nothing.
"The noble prince, the price of two million guan is fair." Yao Nianbad pondered, "But, we can't afford this money!"
Li Rang held a delicate little abacus with gold as jade as beads in his left hand, and thundered with a thunderous thunder in his right hand, and laughed: "The general is joking. As the Lord of Khan, what is the mere two million. We are willing to buy ox, horses, camels, donkeys, and livestock such as khans at a price of 50 jin, herbs, and even ores. The price is easy to negotiate."
Yaonian Bad looked at Li Rang holding the rare gadget, looking like he was eating people and not vomiting bones, and his eyebrows were frowned into the character Sichuan.
Doing business with the Tang people, especially with the town **, is like making a fuck with a tiger. Li Wei led a caravan on the grassland for two years, and many tribes of all sizes of the Khitan tribes were doing business with them, using cattle, sheep, horses, herbs, furs, and slaves, etc., all of which were exchanged for something that could not fill the stomach and cold.
"Dignified prince, my Khan has a better proposal." Yaonianbad slowly said his proposal, "In order to strengthen the alliance of the two families and to express the respect of my Khan for the prince, my Khan is willing to marry the prince's favorite daughter, the most beautiful moon on the Khitan grassland, to the moon plum under the moon."
Li Jing laughed at him and said that the Khitan Khan knew that using marriage to gain Li Jing's support was not easy.
However, Li Jing didn't have much conflict with this unexpected proposal. It was just a political marriage, which was not surprising. Even though he had no good impression of those women with unique hairstyles in the Khitan, this was not a relationship. It didn't matter how Mei Mei himself was. What was important was behind the marriage.
"Could it be that Hende Khan meant to marry his daughter to this king, and then even if this batch of weapons was a marquis?"
Li Jing's words made Yao Nian Bade blush slightly, "It's not entirely true. Khan married his daughter to the prince, and the prince gave this batch of weapons to Khan. Of course, we will also give it to him, including three thousand war horses, ten thousand cows, and fifty thousand sheep."
Li Jing shook his head. Li Jing lost a lot in this business. The three thousand war horses together were only more than 100,000 yuan, and the annual sheep together was only about 200,000 yuan, and the combined total was less than 500,000 yuan. Li Jing's weapons were worth 2 million yuan, and Li Jing did not think that a daughter of a Khitan Khan could be worth 1.5 million yuan.
"Business is business, marriage is marriage." Li Jing smiled and said, "It's better to listen to my proposal. In addition to these cows, horses and sheep, Khan can take out some cows and sheep, or can use your slaves and prisoners of war to compensate? No matter how old or young, we will want as long as we are a human being. How many we have, we will want."
Yao Nian Bade was a little surprised and disappointed, but he didn't expect Li Jing to say this.
"But we are in marriage..."
"If the general wants to take back the marriage proposal, it doesn't matter. But business is business, do you think so."
After thinking for a long time, although Yao Nian Bade felt that this marriage could not take advantage of the plan, Li Jing was right. In this alliance, Hende Khan needed the other party more than Li Jing. Especially for this batch of weapons, if this batch of weapons can be obtained, the strength of Yao Yuan and Oga tribes will be greatly increased.
Finally, Li Rang was responsible for the specific negotiations. After some negotiations, he reached an agreement with Yaonianbad.
Li Jing married Hende Khan and married Yue Limei, the daughter of Hende Khan. At the same time, the town ** also reached a deal with Yaonian. Yaonian bought a batch of weapons worth 1.5 million knots from the town ** and could pay in installments, but the installment fee plus the expedited production and the price of several precious weapons, as well as the shipping price, etc., and the final total price reached 2.5 million knots. Hende Khan could pay within two years, including war horses, horses, cattle, sheep, camels, donkeys and mules, fur, herbs, ores, and even slave prisoners of war, etc., which could all be used as payment for the goods.
"It's hard for General Yaonian Bad to come this time, so you might as well take a rest for a few days. After a few days, after the first batch of weapons are ready, I will appoint General Li Wei to lead a light cavalry to escort the weapons back to Khitan with you." After reaching the agreement, Li Jing became more intimate with Bad. He brought a firm ally and killed them once and made a big profit. Li Jing is in a good mood now. "We are about to launch a large-scale attack on western Liaoxi to support Khan. After the general returns to Khitan, he can tell the Khan that this is a great opportunity to deal with the Diela tribe to turn defeat into victory, but don't miss it."
The battle in western Liaoning is about to begin. If Hende Khan can send troops to Diela in the Khitan and share some of the Diela troops, it will be of great help to the Zhen**.
Li Wei was sent to the Khitan to escort the first batch of weapons, and he asked him to take back the daughter of Hende Khan as soon as possible and complete the marriage as soon as possible. Only after the marriage could Hende Khan continue to fight against Diela tribe.
Li Wei took a thousand light cavalry, a thousand light cavalry of Yaonianbad and three thousand civilians to escort the first batch of weapons from Lulongsai out of the pass and headed north through the Xijing grassland. With these two thousand elite cavalry, Li Jing was not very worried about their safety. After all, Yaonianbad was the clan uncle of the Khan Khan, and Li Wei also raised the banner of the Anton Protector. Except for the Diela tribe, the other tribes dared not come directly to provoke them. And their route deliberately avoided the sphere of influence of the Diela tribe.
Just as he sent away the envoy of Hende, Li Jing met Gao Pian's envoy again.
Gao Piangang was replaced by Wang Duo as the governor of the Zhudaoxingying because Huang Chao destroyed Guangzhou. Wang Duo took office as the governor of the Zhudaoxingyingyingying in Jiangling, Jingnan, and transferred the Li clan from Li Jing back to his subordinates. Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang, was appointed as the deputy governor of the Li clan, and Li clan was appointed as the governor of the southwest camp, and Gao Pian was appointed as the governor of the southeast camp.
It would be fine if he didn't add the official position of the Southeast Army Commander, but Gao Pian immediately hated Wang Duo, thinking that Wang Duo had his official position and deliberately gave him the official position of the Southeast Army Commander, which was an insult to him.
However, the situation is stronger than others, and the position of governor has been robbed. The staunch ally of the court, Prime Minister Lu, was dismissed from prime minister again. Eunuch Tian has not been relaxed recently.
At the same time, Li Jing lived a very comfortable life.
When he detained Li Jing's goods, Li Jing directly robbed his people. He completely underestimated Li Jing, but he didn't expect that Li Jing not only dared to fight him head-on, but also was so amazing.
He was determined to be more powerful than Li Jing. However, Gao Pian was indeed powerful on land. Neither Dangxiang nor Nanzhao people were his opponents, but he saw that Li Jing was separated by thousands of miles. He couldn't reach it if he wanted to fight. On the contrary, Li Jing's navy was completely their world on the sea. The fleet he pulled up was completely finished in just a few strokes.
Facing Li Jing's robbery along the coast, although Gao Pian sent troops to garrison along the coast, how many soldiers could he have and how long was the coast? Every time Li Jing's navy was always able to find a space and kill them, and then set sail to the sea before they arrived, letting them stare at Wang Yang.
In a short time, Huainan Town suffered heavy losses and Gao Pian could no longer sit still.
The navy of the town had already begun to enter the inland river along the Huai River and the Yangtze River. Taking advantage of his opportunity to deploy all his troops on the front line of the coast, he directly attacked his first-line cities along the river.
No one in the court could control Li Jing, and this battle could only be resolved between them.
But now Gao Pian is already in a state of great anxiety and is unable to deal with Li Jing. Faced with Li Jing's fierce revenge, Gao Pian is unable to fight back. He wants to fight but cannot find anyone.
Although Gao Pian didn't want to bow his head, he had no other way to deal with Li Jing except to bow his head and surrender. Even his brother Zhou Bao, the governor of Zhenhai, started to complain about him because Gao Pian started a fight with Li Jing, which caused Zhenhai to suffer heavy losses.
On Shanhaiguan City, Li Jing met Lu Yongzhi again.
Compared with the last time, Lu Yongzhi was less arrogant and more respectful to Li Jing.
"The prince, I am here to resolve the previous misunderstanding between the minister Gao and the prince." After Lu Yongzhi saluted Li Jing respectfully, he said with a humble smile.
Li Jing snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?"
Lu Yongzhi's smile stiffened on his face, "It was the case that the goods of a merchant in Dengzhou Town were seized."
"Are Gao Pian willing to return the goods?" Li Jing asked with a sneer.
