This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 315 Volume [-] Make wind and rain, lure it for profit.

Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian is discussing with Qibi He Li, Wu An, Pusiruo and Li Qinjian about the feasibility of selling a generation of Liannu to Tuyuhun.

Li Chengqian has been thinking about it ever since Fifth Brother Zhang passed this idea back.

There is no problem in selling it to Su Pi, because Su Pi's great enemy is Tubo.

In terms of overall strength, Su Pi couldn't keep up with Tubo.

Moreover, the main reason why Li Chengqian was willing to sell arms to Su Pi was that Su Pi could help him curb the unification of Tubo and buy him time. This was the main reason why he was willing to help Su Pi.

As for the sale to Western Turks, the reason is simpler. For the time being, the two countries have no geographical intersection, and there is a Tuyuhun in the middle.

But Tuyuhun is different.

If they had the weapons of the Ming court, the biggest victim would most likely be the Daming court itself.

"Your Highness, the last general feels that this matter has little to do with it." Qibi Heli said, "Now that the last general's subordinates have finished changing their outfits, there is still a big gap between the fourth-generation Liannu and the first-generation Liannu.

Except for Zhengxi Army and Resentment Army, the other armies are also equipped with third-generation Liannu, which is also quite different from the first-generation Liannu.

Of course, if the two armies are at war in the future, this will definitely pose a certain threat to us, but as long as there is a war, how can there be no threat?What's more, our equipment is obviously superior to theirs. If we have to worry about all this, the general will feel that it is better not to fight this battle.

Moreover, the last general also believes in me, the soldiers of the Ming court. "

Qibi Heli said this very confidently.

That is to say, Wan Tengpu, Pluboqi and others have already gone to Zhenbei Mansion, otherwise they would be more confident.

"Your Highness, if there are restrictions like the previous sale to Su Pi, such as arrows, then this business is really successful." Pusiro also said immediately.

Looking at the batch of first- and second-generation Liannu in the warehouse gave him a headache. Just as Li Chengqian said, if you can't eat or wear it, it's better to exchange it for some money and food.

Especially now that the royal court of Ming Dynasty's expenses are rushing east and west like rivers of water, it really makes him feel a lot of pressure.

It's just that, if the people in the military don't speak, it's hard for him to say much.

After all, it is Qibi Heli and other soldiers who will face all this in the future.

Hearing what they said, Li Chengqian thought for a while, and finally said: "Just follow the same rules as Su Pi." Then, he sighed again, "Hey, this king is just worried about a war that may break out at any time. Our soldiers were buried under the ordnance of our own production, that is really a ridiculous joke in the world."

"Your Highness, the benevolent ministers, and others all understand." Qibi He Li said, "However, there are no undead in battle. Death in battle is the best destination for a warrior."

Li Chengqian smiled without saying a word.

If my mother had a million-dollar army, would I care if hundreds or thousands of people died?

The point is that I didn't!

There are only so many soldiers in the entire Ming court, and this is only recently.

It's really one death and one less.

"I understand what you mean. Well, let's do it like this. Try to limit them as much as possible, and you can be regarded as responsible for the soldiers of my Ming court." Li Chengqian didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, so that's it. Let's go.

As the minister of the Ministry of War, Qi Bi He Li, the general of Zhengxi Army, has no objection, and he really has nothing to say.

In the final analysis, this business interest is not the most important thing.

……

And in Water River County.

Fifty miles away from Piaohe City, Murong Xiaojun found dozens of poles erected on the grassland from a long distance, and on each pole was a human head hanging high, swaying with the wind and snow, as if to show off to the public.

Walking closer, there were a lot of things scattered on the ground, and Murong Xiaojun concluded that these things were all from the Daming court after a glance. After all, he had traded with the Daming court for such a long time. The items sold are also familiar.

But this scene made him a little strange.

When he heard the report from his subordinates before, he thought it was the uneven distribution of the spoils or black people, but watching this scene, it clearly smelled like a warning.

Could it be that King Dingcheng did it?

Thinking of this, Murong Xiaojun asked: "Have the identities of these people been found out?"

The subordinate who had been waiting here for a long time heard the words, and immediately said: "Go back to the prince, it has been verified, it should be the king of Xihai."

Someone from Tuoba Zhao?
Upon hearing such an answer, Murong Xiaojun was also stunned.

If he had doubts about King Dingcheng at the beginning, then at this moment, he no longer doubted it.

Because these two guys have a very good personal relationship on weekdays, even if King Dingcheng found out that Tuobazhao's people were doing this, at most he would reprimand him, and he would never do it.

Taking a step back, even if someone kills someone, it won't be in this way.

"Is there any clue of the perpetrator?" Murong Xiaojun asked.

The man shook his head and said, "Not yet, but judging from the traces left in the snow, the perpetrator should have gone west.

Your lord, to the west..."

West?

Murong Xiaojun was also a little stunned, he had a military camp stationed there, could it be they did it?

But it stands to reason that if such a big thing happened, it's impossible for those under his command not to report back?
At this moment, King Dingcheng who received the news also arrived.

He was also curious, all the ministries had reached a consensus that they would not do such a thing in the near future. Firstly, it was disgusting to Murong Xiaojun, and secondly, it was to help him gain a firm foothold as soon as possible.If anyone really jumped out at this moment, then don't blame him for not talking about the old friendship.

"Hey, King Gaochang is quite fast." King Dingcheng laughed as soon as the person arrived.

In the past, he would never have dared to talk to Murong Xiaojun like this, but now what is he afraid of?Not to mention that Murong Xiaojun provoked more people this time, just from Murong Fuyun's recent reaction, he is telling everyone the fact that Murong Xiaojun has fallen out of favor.

A phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken. Who doesn't understand this truth?

Murong Xiaojun also saw King Dingcheng coming early, so he was not curious about it: "The speed of King Dingcheng is not slow, since everyone has come, let's see who is doing it behind the scenes. Smuggling?
Who is so daring, knowing that King Dingcheng is coming, but still dare to do such a thing, isn't this the face of King Dingcheng? "

Dingcheng King's face was a bit ugly when he heard the words, this is true, everyone has reached a consensus, but you are really hitting him in the face with this sudden backstab.

However, looking at the head hanging on the pole and swaying in the wind, King Dingcheng smiled and said: "These people are also stupid enough, knowing that King Gaochang has been a little angry recently, they dare to jump around under the eyes of King Gaochang , This is not, bad luck."

With his words, he has concluded that Murong Xiaojun killed the person, and not only killed the person, but also vented his anger.

After all, Murong Xiaojun has been really aggrieved recently.

And Murong Xiaojun didn't make any excuses, don't worry, what's the rush, when you find out that these people are from Tuobazhao, what will your reaction be?
Seeing that he didn't respond, King Dingcheng immediately asked himself to go down to check, and he also got off his horse and carefully looked at the things on the ground.

"These things are indeed from Daming." King Dingcheng was not a poor man, so he took a look and said, "Judging from the situation scattered all over the place, it should be left during the fight, and the big heads are probably left by Murong Xiaojun. Got away."

Speaking of this, he was also a little resentful.

Who the hell is this?
Everyone has clearly agreed, but does this really mean embarrassing this king?

The point is, if you smuggle, smuggle it, don't let Murong Xiaojun catch it, isn't this giving him a chance to turn around?

"My lord, these are the people of King Xihai." When King Dingcheng was bored, he came down to report.

Upon hearing this, King Dingcheng was stunned immediately?
"you sure?"

The subordinate nodded and said, "I'm sure, I know the leader of the caravan, look at the prince, that's the only one."

As he said that, his subordinate pointed to him with his hand, "That guy is the elder brother of a concubine of the King of the West Sea. There will never be a mistake."

Hearing what he said, King Dingcheng had a headache.

Someone from Tuoba Zhao?
The point is that he has a very good personal relationship with Tuoba Zhao, which makes him embarrassed.

He never doubted Tuobazhao, Tuobazhao's personality is straightforward, and he will definitely not play tricks behind his back when he promises something.

In addition to what his subordinates said, and looking at the size of this caravan, he immediately had a judgment.

Either they pushed Murong Xiaojun too hard recently, forcing this guy to intentionally set the blame on him and kill the good to make up for his recent defeat.

Either this unlucky ghost secretly smuggled with Daming behind everyone's back, and was caught by Murong Xiaojun in the end.

However, he prefers the latter.

Although he and Murong Xiaojun did not get along, as far as Murong Xiaojun he knew, he really couldn't do anything like killing a good person and pretending to be a meritorious person.In addition, that unlucky guy is also a money-grubbing and lustful person, who secretly smuggled with Daming behind everyone's back, which would not make him feel strange.

Money is touching.

At the beginning, none of them could bear the huge benefits, let alone these guys.

"How is it? Can King Dingcheng have a result?" Just as he was thinking like this, Murong Xiaojun asked with a smile, with a gloating expression on his face.

King Dingcheng heard the words, and said disdainfully: "King Gaochang is a good method. There is no proof of death, so it's not just what King Gaochang said?"

No matter what he thinks, this shit bowl has to be put on Murong Xiaojun's head, it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Murong Xiaojun smiled and said: "Means? This king doesn't have your means. Originally, this king thought how long your offensive and defensive alliance could last?
A year or half a year?Oh, the result is less than a month.

Take a look, after all, they are people who are motivated by interests, just like Khan's repeated orders, smuggling is not allowed, but what about you?Isn't it still doing well?

You think that after a group of people discusses it, everyone will follow the agreement.

Oh, let's face it.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. King Dingcheng, you still think it's too simple.

Now that there is the first one, I believe there will be a second, third or even more.

King Dingcheng, please be blessed, what you think is only what you think after all. "

After finishing speaking, Murong Xiaojun laughed out loud.

Carefree, since recently, he has not been so carefree.

A group of people who are full of evil intentions and are all motivated by interests, what kind of offensive and defensive alliance are they playing?
What he said was clearly sowing discord, so what?
Does King Dingcheng dare to say that what he said is wrong?

"Retreat, leave this place to King Dingcheng." Seeing that King Dingcheng remained silent for a long time, Murong Xiaojun waved his hand and immediately led the people back to the city.

No matter who killed these guys, he doesn't care.

If he dared to smuggle with Daming, he deserved his death.

The point is that it is a good thing for him to expose these people.

At least, the recent depression has been vented out.

But Dingcheng King, who stayed where he was, was worried.

He knew that Murong Xiaojun was trying to sow discord, but he just couldn't stop thinking about what Murong Xiaojun said.

Because Murong Xiaojun was right, the offensive and defensive alliance of a group of people needs absolute trust, absolutely!

But where is the absolute trust between them?
Who knows what other people are thinking?
Could it be that someone really took advantage of him and Murong Xiaojun's entanglement in Water River County to secretly smuggle and make a fortune?
Hard to say, really hard to say.

Just like what Murong Xiaojun said, this is only the first case that was seized, so how many were not seized?
He dared not think.

Interests are always a mountain that stands in the way of human nature.

indestructible!

"Send someone to inform King Xihai, and find out what's going on by the way?" King Dingcheng said immediately.

He didn't believe that this was what Tuoba Zhao meant, but it was because it wasn't what Tuoba Zhao meant, that was the scariest thing.

This shows that those people under them have also begun to move their minds.

And Murong Xiaojun who had just turned back to Watering River City was also a little curious. Judging from King Dingcheng's reaction, he did not do this.

It's not him or yourself, so who would do it?

"Send someone to investigate and find out who did this." Murong Xiaojun said.

But when they were wondering, Fifth Brother Zhang and the others had already turned back to Watering River City.

Murong Xiaojun thought they were carrying a lot of goods, but in fact, all the goods they brought were left at the scene of the crime.

"Next, start spreading the news in Jiaohe County." Zhang Wuge said, "It is said that someone has made a lot of money from smuggling. If the time is right, you can also sell some Ming's goods to the outside world without exposing yourself. .

But remember, you can't expose yourself. As a secret spy, you all know what it means to expose your identity.

Finally, I would like to remind you, don't imitate those people who are in Tuyuhun. They are blinded by their interests. You must know who our Highness is.

As long as he is loyal to the king's affairs, it is not impossible to become a marquis immediately in the future. "

"Fifth Brother, don't worry." Pu Qi immediately said, "We all understand this truth. We entered the secret spy department voluntarily at the beginning. Besides, we can all see how His Highness has treated us for more than a year. in the eyes."

"That's right, fifth brother, you are just worrying about it." Someone said, "Follow Your Highness, are you afraid that His Highness will treat us badly in the future? When it was so difficult back then, Your Highness never treated us badly."

Brother Zhang Wu smiled and didn't talk too much about this topic: "Since that's the case, let's prepare for it. There will be a battle between Tuyuhun and Daming sooner or later, and Water River County may be the key to this battle. Everyone is implementing it. While doing the task, be careful.

I hope that all of you will still be there when His Royal Highness marches northward. "

"That's natural." Pu Qi immediately agreed.

Just when everyone was about to leave again, someone came in.

"Fifth brother, there is news from Riyue Mountain." The visitor said immediately.

Hearing what he said, Fifth Brother Zhang knew that Puqi's proposal was answered by Riyueshan, so he immediately nodded and said, "Speak."

"His Highness agreed with our previous suggestion, but there are restrictions. The main reason is that we are afraid that our own brothers will suffer greatly if we fight together in the future. Moreover, these weapons cannot be sold to Murong Xiaojun." The visitor said.

After listening to him, Fifth Brother Zhang compared it with what he expected, and then said: "Since Your Highness has agreed, this time you will also handle this matter by the way.

But remember the order, since we have caused everyone to think that someone is secretly smuggling, then we should release the news first, not to tell the truth, at least let everyone have such suspicions.

In this case, then we will use ordnance to lure them to continue smuggling, and these guys will be more likely to take the bait. "

"Don't worry, how familiar we are with this matter." Everyone laughed immediately.

For this matter, they really did a lot.

Of course, Li Chengqian invested a lot in order for them to take root in Water River County.

After speaking, the crowd dispersed.

After they left, Fifth Brother Zhang immediately sent someone to report the latest situation in Piaohe County back to Riyue Mountain.

After finishing all this work, he also led the people away from the temporary accommodation, and after entering the street, they were quickly submerged in the sea of ​​people.

This foothold will basically never be used again.

In the next few days, there was a rumor in Jiaohe County that someone had made a fortune by smuggling with Daming.

When such news reached Murong Xiaojun's ears, he smiled.

Sure enough, if there is a first time, there will be a second time or even countless times.

But he wasn't worried at all. The person who should be worried now was not him, but King Dingcheng. The pressure was instantly put on King Dingcheng's side.

In fact, when King Dingcheng heard such rumors, he was annoyed.

The person he sent to deliver the letter to Tuobazhao has returned, and Tuobazhao made it clear that he had never done this.

That is to say, the people under them couldn't bear it any longer.

The point is, he doesn't know who these people are, let alone whether they mean it or the people behind them.

But no matter who meant it, it was not a good thing for him.

If they mean it themselves, that is to say, these guys have already moved their minds, maybe some of his subordinates are doing such things.

Although these people are all their subordinates, when these people have their own demands, it is no longer a small problem.

What's even more frightening is that if there are people behind them, it means that their offensive and defensive alliance is actually a decoration. These guys don't care about his situation.

After all, he also has the task of strictly investigating smuggling. When Murong Fuyun pursues it, he will not be as tough as Murong Xiaojun.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Investigate, investigate to death for me! No matter who is found, he will be killed on the spot! Since this king is not going to make life easier, then don't blame this king for not giving anyone face." Dingcheng Wang said angrily.

He must have expressed something.

If it got to Murong Fuyun's ears, he would think that he was deliberately protecting those guys, then he would be the one who would be unlucky.

"My lord, if this goes into the depths, I'm afraid I'll offend many people." The confidant said immediately, and the lessons learned by King Gaochang are right in front of him.

King Dingcheng also had troubles, didn't he know how to offend people?

But if you don't check, the one who offends is Big Khan, and he still knows which is more serious.

"I can't control that much anymore." King Dingcheng said, "Investigate first, but don't go after them. As long as they are found to be involved in food smuggling, they will be killed on the spot and no one will be left alive."

In the end, he still left a way out for himself, there was no other way, just like Murong Xiaojun, how many times have he died?

Hearing what he said, the cronies instantly understood and were about to speak, when the steward of a caravan under King Dingcheng hurried in.

"My lord, good news." The person in charge shouted before he even came to him.

King Dingcheng was taken aback, and asked, "What good news?"

The steward looked around and saw that King Dingcheng didn't respond, so he said, "My lord, there are people selling ordnance at Daming."

"Are you sure?" King Dingcheng immediately stood up.

The person in charge said, "I'm sure, they are all those people who have traded with us before. The news is very reliable."

"Da Ming's armaments are under strict control. Where did they get them?" King Dingcheng was a little suspicious.

Ordnance, for any country, is the top priority, how can it be easy for businessmen to get their hands on it?Moreover, this is still sold to neighboring countries, even in Tuyuhun, if such a thing happens, it will be dead.

"I heard that it is the way of Su Pi and the Western Turks." The manager said, "Su Pi sent troops to invade the border before, and the Ming Dynasty spared money to avoid disaster and agreed to sell their arms, which allowed those merchants to find a way.

They asked Subi and Western Turk to help them purchase armaments at a price higher than half of the price, the most of which were Liannu, followed by incendiary bombs. Aren't they looking for buyers everywhere?
And not only did they contact us, I heard that they also sent people to contact other people, and even some people contacted Xue Yantuo. That's the price, they added another [-]%. "

Hearing what the manager said, King Dingcheng could understand, that's right.

Whether Subi or Western Turks, they are willing to do this.

After all, adding half of the price is giving them money for nothing.

This business has almost earned money on the spot.

"My lord, why don't we also go to Su Pi or Xi Turk? This [-]% profit is still a bit high." said the manager.

Ever since he heard the news, he didn't plan to take the goods from Daming, but went directly from the source.

But King Dingcheng shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Don't think about it, Subi and Xitujue will help them, but they will definitely not help us.

Don't say half a profit, even if it is a [-]% profit, they won't do it. "

"Why?" The manager didn't understand.

King Dingcheng smiled wryly and said: "Because we are Tuyuhun, that's all right, let's settle this matter first, and this king will go report to Khan right away.

If he could really buy back the ordnance from Daming, even the Great Khan would not let go of such an opportunity. "After finishing speaking, he looked at the confidant again, "Let's put aside your affairs first, don't worry, this time, it may be a turning point. "

If he was still in a state of distress before, then this time, he was relieved.

Really relieved.

At the moment, after arranging these things, he went directly to Fucheng City.

When Murong Xiaojun learned that he was going straight to Fucheng City, he thought that this guy was going to talk to those guys in his offensive and defensive alliance, so he didn't pay much attention.

That afternoon, King Dingcheng, who was running all the way, brought his own soldiers into Fucheng City.

When he arrived at Murong Fuyun's tent, Murong Fuyun was talking to some people he had never met before, and when he came in, Murong Fuyun said to those people: "Okay, you go down first. .”

After those people retreated, Murong Fuyun asked: "Why did you come back suddenly, there is a clue about the smuggling?"

This is a bit of a slap in the face.

Everyone knows exactly what smuggling is going on.

Although Murong Fuyun didn't say it clearly, it doesn't mean that he approves of these guys' actions.

"Khan, when I was investigating the smuggling, I accidentally got news that there was a batch of ordnance for sale from Daming, and it was the way of Subi and Western Turks..." King Dingcheng gave the situation to Murong Fu in detail. Yun introduced it again.

When Murong Fuyun heard it, he was almost the same as him back then, and immediately stood up.

Daming was able to achieve this effect in just one year, relying on the advantages of ordnance.

But although Daming sold arms to the outside world, Tuyuhun was not among them.

Moreover, he had traveled the way of Western Turks before, but he was told clearly that Daming had explained that if the arms from Western Turks fell into the hands of Tuyuhun, then there would be no need to do this business in the future.

The relationship between Western Turk and Tuyuhun is not very good, how could others take this risk for him?

Hearing what King Dingcheng said at this moment, he immediately realized that the person who sold this batch of ordnance might be smuggled by Daming. After thinking about it carefully, he understood again.

As for what King Dingcheng said about the news he got during the investigation of smuggling, he didn't believe a word.

"Are you sure?" Believe it or not, these are not important, the important thing is that he wants this batch of ordnance.

Although now, Tuyuhun and Daming have reached a trade between the two countries, but military equipment is not included in the trade between the two countries.

King Dingcheng nodded and said: "I can confirm, but I'm afraid this business cannot be treated with common sense."

It is clear that this business still has to be smuggled.

Regarding this point, Murong Fuyun actually understood, nodded immediately, and said: "No matter what route you take, this batch of ordnance must be brought back to Ben Khan, so you are fully responsible for this matter."

"But what if the King Gaochang gets in the way? After all, this..." He almost said it was smuggling.

Murong Fuyun waved his hand, and said: "It's okay, Ben Khan will give you a warrant, hurry up, otherwise things will change, and Daming will probably investigate as well, and bring this batch of ordnance back before Daming finds out."

For Daming's ordnance, he still values ​​it very much.

Li Chengqian was able to develop into what he is today in just one year, and Daming's weapons definitely played a vital role.
