Chapter 1576 Mutual speculation
Ajige suddenly laughed, "Haha... I am just joking with General Li. As long as General Li restrains his subordinates and does not allow him to continue to advance north... I can live in harmony with Guangxinwei."
Li Guo also laughed and said, "If Prince Ying can't afford the price Li said, then... I'm afraid that's all I have to do."
Ajige burst out in his heart, but he said with a strong pressure on his face: "But I have a condition."
"Speaking."
"I want to buy the firearms in Guangxinwei's hands."
Even though Li Guo was somewhat mentally prepared, he was also frightened by Ajige's conditions.
Isn't this a joke?
When the two armies are facing each other, one side wants to buy the weapons on which the other side relies for their lives?
But Azig obviously didn't seem to be a joke. He said seriously: "I can pay 80 taels per shot."
Li Guo suddenly felt aroused in his heart, and he replied with a moment of contemplation: "It's not impossible to sell the musket to Prince Ying... it's not impossible, but the number cannot be large. Prince Ying should know why."
Azig naturally knew why, and he grinned, "I want half of it..."
Li Guo's eyes shrank and said with a smile: "It's done...but you must trade it with cash, and you must pay the money and the goods in the other hand."
"make a deal!"
Li Guo suddenly smiled mysteriously, "If Prince Ying really needs muskets, there is no way."
"oh?"
"Silver." Li Guo made a gesture, "Since Prince Ying has guessed that this is a game, then Li will not hide it...a hundred taels of musket."
Ajige was stunned and then laughed, "Silver, I have something to do, but how do you make me believe that Wu Zheng will allow you to sell the musket to me?"
Li Guo shook his head and said, "Prince Ying misunderstood... It is a serious crime to sell muskets to the enemy. I pity my child..."
Speaking of this, Li Guo became inexplicably sad, and tears came as soon as he said that.
Azig is a mess, but he never saw such a scene. He cried as soon as he said he could not help but feel at a loss.
Fortunately, Li passed the spot and wiped his tears and said, "Prince Ying is also a person who has been in the upper hand for a long time, so he naturally knows a word... hide it from the superiors and not the subordinates! People should always leave a way out for themselves and leave a way out for their wives and children at home, right? As long as there is money, the military workshop is not a solid piece, and naturally, the General's Mansion is not a solid piece."
No matter how stupid Ajige is, he can understand such a straightforward and gentle word. But Ajige is not a fool after all. He asked: "General Li should tell me, who is the person you are talking about? After all, I have to pay real money, right?"
Li Guo thought for a while and spit out a person's name, "Ma Shiying."
Ajig was stunned, then suddenly realized, and smiled, "Okay... OK... It's really not a solid piece. So... that's it."
In fact, Ma Shiying's reputation is indeed too bad, but his current "stink" is different from before. His previous stink was because he was greedy for money but did not sell the country. But now, he is greedy for money and stolen the country.
If it weren't for being favored by His Highness the King of Wu, someone would have handed him a knife when he was walking on the road.
Ajige believed it, and believed it without doubt.
For nothing else, it was because he had long heard that Ma Shiying had secretly colluded with some people in the court to resell the firearms of Jiangnan Military Workshops, and even wanted to sell various recipes for the general military Workshop. If the court hadn't had the intention to build the military workshop, Ma Shiying would have already made a fortune.
I heard Li Guo say Ma Shiying's name, in Ajige's opinion, that is to wear a protective cover for this gray transaction. That's right. Since Ma Shiying has sold a lot of firearms to the north, he shouldn't continue selling it. No one will think that the money is too much, and the money is biting his hand, right?
....
Li Guo would never have expected Chen Zhiyuan to come to visit suddenly.
Just two days after meeting with Ajig, Li Guo welcomed Chen Zhiyuan who was disguised as a disguised person.
Li Guo was at the first time, even disbelieving, and thought he was an envoy from the name.
But when I saw Chen Zhiyuan himself, Li Guoxin was revealed.
No tokens are needed, you believe it when you see people.
Because there is an invisible momentum in the superior.
This is not the momentum that one carries, but the momentum that one possesses by one’s identity.
"Looking for a long time." Chen Zhiyuan cherishes his words like gold.
"Looking for a long time!" Li Guo was really from the heart.
The shadow of the famous tree.
Chen Zhiyuan was still one year younger than Wu. In just six years, he went from an unknown boy to the Qing court's prince-in-law and General Pingnan, holding the military power of 30,000 new troops... It can be said that he is at its peak.
Li Guo knew that the new army was powerful, and all the new muskets were six or seventy taels per shot, and a hundred pieces of paper bullets were twenty taels... Tsk tsk, Guangxin Wei belonged to the Northern Expedition Army, but when he arrived, he didn't get enough to get a gun.
That's not all, Chen Zhiyuan's new army is equipped with hundreds of field direct-fire cannons and siege curved cannons, which are not comparable to Guangxinwei.
Of course, these are not the real reason why Li Guo came from the heart and said that he had long admired him.
The real reason is that Chen Zhiyuan is doing well.
That's right. Chen Zhiyuan was first valued by Dorgon in the Qing Dynasty. He married a Manchu woman and was given the title of Doro's son-in-law. What followed was that his official position was constantly increasing. Even if Dorgon died, Chen Zhiyuan changed and became one of the "auxiliary" of the successor King Dorbo. This situation... tsk, it's really not something that ordinary people can imagine.
The luckiest thing is that Chen Zhiyuan went from a false surrender to a real surrender, and even led his army to conquer Tongzhou, causing more than a thousand Wusong Guard soldiers to be injured and killed. As a general, Wu Zheng left the matter in vain and did not even have any necessary accusations. It seemed that this incident had never happened. He was very lucky.
In fact, not only Li Guo was dissatisfied with this matter, but the Northern Expedition Army also had a lot of opposition to the King of Wu's handling of this matter.
It’s just that Wu Zheng’s prestige is too high, and no one dares to accuse or advise Wu Zheng.
After a long period of reverence, Li Guo never thinks that reverence is related to the position determined by his butt.
So, after Li Guo's next sentence after "rejuvenation for a long time" was, "General Chen came uninvited, wouldn't he also want to buy a firearm from Li, right?"
“That’s right.”
Li Guo was stunned.
He was indeed stunned. He regretted his words, and he rushed out of his mouth and didn't even have a chance to take them back.
Chen Zhiyuan said seriously: "Once the war begins, the outcome of the defeat will be the same if there are firearms in Guangxinwei. Unless Wu Zheng can order the Northern Expedition Army to come for reinforcements... But this is unrealistic. Guangxinwei has become a rebel, Jianxin Dynasty has established a peace agreement with the Qing court. Moreover, if Wu Zheng really can reinforce Guangxinwei, why do you have to do this to set Guangxinwei into a rebel? General Li, instead of giving the British Prince Ajige, it would be better to sell it to me, at least, I am a Han person!"
