Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Wei Bao looked at Li Zicheng in disbelief. Li Zicheng felt that his IQ had been insulted. Since it was false, why are you so serious, and there are people with nose and eyes? Are you bullying honest people?

Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Li Xin on the side understood Wei Bao's mysterious voice.

Wei Bao's trip must have been approved by the Lantian government, otherwise, reselling gunpowder, it is impossible for Lantian to not know about it, and secondly, the most important thing, why did Wei Bao make up a story?

The reason is very simple. Lan Tian has always built up his own reputation, and rashly buying gunpowder, an important military material, for himself will be criticized by the gentry of Ming Dynasty, so he asked Wei Bao to sell gunpowder in his own name. When the time comes to find out, or if he intends to release the news, Lan Tian will prevaricate it with Wei Bao's private behavior.

Even if the gentry of Ming Dynasty really saw the problem, but there was no actual evidence and they could not accuse Lan Tian for no reason, Lan Tian could still maintain his detached position.

This is the legendary "stand and stand again", this point of view makes Lan Tianwan understand.

Li Zicheng is not a stupid person either. Under Song Xiance's soft reminder, Li Zicheng came to his senses, followed by looking at Wei Bao with a strange expression, and said with disdain: "He, Li Chaosheng, is a hero in the world. He hides his head and shows his tail when he does things." , so outspoken."

When Wei Bao heard Li Zicheng's muttering, he didn't refute it. You've taken advantage of it, why don't you let people talk about it?

Li Zicheng muttered, then looked at Wei Bao and said, "Well, I already know the reason for your visit, so I don't know how much gunpowder you have to sell?"

Wei Bao laughed and said, "Not much, not much, just a hundred thousand catties."

"It's only one hundred thousand...how much?"

Li Zicheng wanted to taunt casually, but when he heard the last number, he suddenly realized that [-] catties of gunpowder would be needed to blow up Luoyang by himself. With this [-] catties of gunpowder, he could solve his big trouble Now, thinking of this, Li Zicheng was excited inside, but his expression was trying to hide his emotions as much as possible. He secretly looked at the generals who were sitting again, and saw that the generals were a little hard to hide their joy, and some even almost Laughed out loud, trying not to laugh out loud at this time.

Wei Bao naturally saw the expressions of everyone, but he just pretended not to see it, and he still didn't care, waiting for Li Zicheng's question. Got the Lord?"

Hearing this, Wei Bao smiled and said, "To be honest with King Chuang, I have transported the gunpowder to Henan and hid it not far from Luoyang, and I have two plans at the moment. The first plan is to sell it to Commander Li, I still have respect for our rebel army, and I have long been disgusted with this fucking Daming. If there is a chance to help the rebel brothers, I am still very happy, so the first thing I look for is Commander Li, Let's see if Commander Li can give me a satisfactory price."

"Satisfactory price?"

Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What price are you satisfied with?"

"Oh, Commander Li wants to buy it?"

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "If the price is fair, it's not impossible."

"Oh, that's great, it saves me another trip to Luoyang City to sell it to that guy, King Fu."

Wei Bao said as if he didn't mean to, Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and said with murderous intent: "Are you still going to sell this gunpowder to King Fu?"

Wei Bao laughed and said, "Yes, I'm a businessman. Whoever gives me the most money, I'll sell it to him. If King Fu gives me a lot, I will naturally sell it to King Fu."

Li Zicheng touched the knife beside the table and said, "Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

Wei Bao laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Of course I'm afraid, but I'm already pouring gunpowder. What's the use of being afraid, I'm afraid we have to find a way to sell it for money. I'm still waiting to go back and pay off the gambling debts."

"Besides, I'm definitely not the only one doing this business. Commander Li kills me. Later, my partner will sell the gunpowder to King Fu and Liu Zeqing. It is said that my partner has a relationship with the steward of King Fu's mansion. It will definitely sell for a fair price then.

Li Zicheng's expression changed when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Haha, you really have the guts, tell me, how much are you going to sell it for?"

Wei Baowen said: "Hahaha... not much, not much, these."

Wei Bao held up a finger, and Li Zicheng laughed and said, "1 taels, not too much, Mr. Niu will prepare money for Brother Wei."

"Hey, Commander Li, you are robbing, 1 taels, and the current market price is more than that."

Wei Bao shook his head, Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Then according to the market price, 10 taels, is it enough?"

Wei Bo said: "With the price of 10 taels, do I still take the risk to come to Henan? I stayed in Lantian, and there were countless people crying and shouting to buy my gunpowder, and they even lined up to give gifts. You just talk about these processes." Save it all, Commander Li, you really know how to do business!"

"Then what do you mean?"

Li Zicheng asked with a dark face when he heard the words, and Wei Bao said after hearing this, "One million taels!"

"What, are you crazy about money!"

Li Zicheng stood up immediately after hearing this, his eyes were full of contempt, this is a lunatic, one million taels can sell hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder, what is one hundred thousand catties!
All the generals around were also full of disbelief, everyone is not a fool, how could this gunpowder be so expensive, one hundred thousand catties of gunpowder, 100 million taels of silver, and ten taels of silver for a catty of gunpowder, this is simply a sky-high price, everyone Everyone looked at Wei Bao with a surprised face, and thought this was a lunatic. Even if we knew that you wanted a lion to open its mouth, but you, a hippopotamus, opened its mouth too much.

Regardless of what everyone thought, Wei Bao still had a smile on his face. When Li Zicheng finally calmed down, Wei Bao said, "Commander Li, this 100 million is not much."

"One million is not much, you, please go back, I, Li Zicheng, can't afford the gunpowder in Lantian!"

Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, after hearing this, all the generals shook their heads in unison, as for killing Wei Bao and snatching this batch of gunpowder, Li Zicheng wanted to do that, but it was impossible and unnecessary.

Firstly, where is the gunpowder hidden, Li Zicheng doesn’t know, killing Wei Bao may not be able to get this batch of gunpowder, secondly, killing Wei Bao is tantamount to offending Lan Tian, ​​now Li Zicheng doesn’t want to mess with Lan Tian, ​​otherwise his future road It's not easy to go.

So Li Zicheng politely asked Wei Bao to leave, if you can't afford it, you can leave.

But Wei Bao didn't move at this time, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Luoyang City, the origin of China, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, a warlock once said that those who win Luoyang City win the world. Now there are 80 people in Luoyang City, and there are more young and strong. There are a lot of rich households in the city, not to mention other things, there are millions of gold and silver in the Fuwang Mansion, not to mention the rich households in the city, the sum is probably tens of millions of taels."

"If there is one person who can break Luoyang City, then the money will be his. Not only that, he will also own the 80 people in Luoyang City. With these 80 people and Luoyang City, the whole of Henan It can become the foundation of a business, and in the future, based on Henan, it will radiate to Shandong, Shanxi, and AH. If you go north, you can seek Hebei, and if you win Hebei, you can go straight to the capital and achieve the career of an emperor."

"If you go south, you can plan for Jiangnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other rich places. With the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the army commanded by Li will have inexhaustible wealth. At that time, the entire eastern part will be commanded by Li. At that time, Commander Li wanted to be enthroned and sit in the palace, but he was an emperor, and if he didn't want to live in a corner, he could become a vassal king, so does Commander Li think that 100 million is still expensive?"

"Is my 100 million the price of this bit of gunpowder? That is the price of Li commanding the Emperor's Foundation. Isn't 100 million worth an Emperor's Foundation?"

"So, my 100 million is not expensive. Commander Li has to seriously consider it. I really turned around and sold it to Luoyang. Commander Li will really find it difficult to take down Luoyang. With Luoyang's [-] catties of gunpowder, Not to mention too much, even if they are placed on the top of the city for firing cannons, can Commander Li accept it?"

"And if they use the [-] catties of gunpowder to overcome this difficulty, Sun Chuanting's department will come to Luoyang soon. At that time, Yang Sichang will be in the south, Sun Chuanting will be in the north, and there will be Liu Zeqing in the middle. Doesn't this repeat the old things in Shanxi? Is Wang still willing to continue to live in a small valley?"

Wei Bao looked at Li Zicheng and cupped his hands and said, "Commander Li, you have to think twice, this is 100 million taels of silver that determines the fate of our rebel army. If Commander Li saves this 100 million taels, maybe he will lose this great deal." For the sake of Commander Li's foundation of the emperor, Commander Li please consider it carefully."

Li Zicheng's face turns blue and red after hearing Wei Bao's words. Wei Bao has caught his weakness. Now he is a little bit hard to get off. Wei Bao is right. If he takes Luoyang, then he will win the game of chess in Henan, and then Based on Henan, you can plot the world.

But if Luoyang is not defeated this time, then his foundation of the emperor will be ruined, and the situation in which he flooded Kaifeng in exchange is likely to be ended by Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting. The chance of flooding Kaifeng is hard to say.

So now he is cautious about throwing money at the mouse. He feels distressed if he pays for the 100 million taels of silver, and if he doesn't pay for it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

All the generals were also lost in thought at this moment, Li Guo looked at his troubled uncle, then at Liu Zongmin, hoping that Liu Zongmin could say a few words, Liu Zongmin thought for a while and said, "I can give you this money, we will take Luoyang after we take down Luoyang." It can be doubled and earned back."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison. That's right, there is everything to take down Luoyang, but at this moment Li Shichao said suddenly: "But if we can't take down Luoyang, we will be passive."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Shichao and said: "Brother Shi Chao, you are too pessimistic. As long as you have this [-] catties of gunpowder, Luoyang will definitely be able to attack."

After hearing this, Li Shichao bowed his head noncommittally and said: "Then I don't care, you are the masters of this big matter, you are the masters."

Li Shichao continued to gnaw on the roast chicken. The reason why Li Shichao said this was because of his own thoughts. He was the one who started the topic of bombing with gunpowder, so as not to make people doubt themselves from here.

I poured some cold water at this time, so that everyone would think of it when they wanted to doubt him, hey, at that time he seemed to question whether the 100 million taels were worth it, and he was obviously not with that Wei Bao, so he could get rid of the suspicion.

So this is why Li Shichao's undercover investigation has not been detected for many years, because he often operates in reverse and clears the suspicion.

At this moment, Li Zicheng looked at Wei Bao tangledly, and asked for a long time: "You sound good, it seems that with this [-] catties of gunpowder, I can take this Luoyang city immediately. This Luoyang city is high and the walls are thick. Even if the cannon shoots out all the shells, it is impossible to blow down the city wall of Luoyang, this gunpowder is just icing on the cake for me, it is not as evil as you said, and it will return the foundation of the emperor!"

Li Zicheng said disdainfully. After hearing this, Wei Bao looked at Li Zicheng in shock and said, "No way, with so many of you, after discussing for so many days, you won't dig a tunnel and bury the explosives to blow up the city wall of Luoyang." Didn't you think about the plan?"

This……

Li Zicheng was a little embarrassed, Wei Bao said: "My God, do you civil servants and military generals know how to fight hard? Okay, I convince you too, let me give you something."

Wei Bao took out a note from his pocket and said, "With this, if you don't want to spend 100 million taels, I will turn around and leave, and I will never keep more."

After hearing this, Li Zicheng looked at the note and said, "What is this?"

Wei Bao laughed and said, "You'll know it when you see it."

Li Zicheng took it over and took a look. Inside was a schematic diagram with pictures and drawings. The main body of it was a city wall, followed by markings of various forces. How many equivalents of gunpowder.

"Is this the city wall of Luoyang?"

Li Zicheng asked in surprise, after hearing this, Wei Bao smiled and said: "That's right, this picture was calculated by our Lantian Academy and Military Academy using mechanics to simulate the attack on Luoyang. There may be some errors in the specifics, but the errors will not be too large Great, as long as this amount of explosives is used to blow up this point, Luoyang City will collapse!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng gave the drawing to Niu Jinxing, and Song Xiance came over to look at it at this time, and saw some formulas that they couldn't understand, but the two still recognized the angle and the number. It's more perfect than the two of them thought.

Li Zicheng looked at Wei Bao in surprise and said, "Your military academy is where Li Chaosheng's military advisor stays, right?"

Seeing Li Zicheng interested, Wei Bao smiled and said, "It can be understood in this way."

Li Zicheng felt envious once again when he heard the words, look at Li Chaosheng's military advisers, they even figured out how to blow up the city walls in such detail, and then look at his own military advisers, they can't do it, and they have to rely on scholars. If there are fewer scholars, it still doesn't work.

At this time, Niu Jinxing handed the drawing to Li Zicheng and said, "King Chuang, if you use this drawing, the city wall of Luoyang will collapse!"

"well."

Li Zicheng said two good words after hearing the words.
