Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 336

The power of the Huns royal court has quietly changed, dissatisfaction with Touman has increased, and Modu's reputation has gradually increased.

It is foreseeable that this winter, there will be more blood under the steps of the Huns' royal court.

It's just that under such circumstances, Mao Dun hibernates, as if he didn't notice it.

Mao Dun, who returned to the big tent, did not have a good impression of those in the royal court who showed good intentions.

Mao Dun knew that these people were nothing more than grass on the wall and could not be trusted at all.Whoever is strong will fall to whomever is strong, so Mao Dun believes that even if these people are left alone for a while, it will be fine.

And he has more important things to do.

"Ji Fu." Mao Dun called out a name, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy walked in from outside the door.

"Father, what's your order for summoning my son?" Ji Yan straightened his back, although he was fourteen or fifteen years old, his body appeared to be very strong.

This is the old Shang Shanyu who succeeded the Xiongnu Shanyu after the death of Maodun in history.

If the Xiongnu rose in the hands of Mao Dun, then in the hands of the old Shang Shanyu, it reached its apex and became a giant in Northeast Asia.

The Huns entered their heyday when they were old Shang Shanyu, implementing the double-headed eagle policy, attacking the Han Dynasty in the south and kicking the Western Regions.

However, at this time, Ji Fu was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, even though his father, Mo Dun, had not yet started to monopolize the right to speak in the court of the Huns.

Jifen admired his father, Modun very much. In Jifen's eyes, his father was full of wisdom and very brave.Ji Feng believed that only his father was worthy of being the Shan Yu of the Huns, and led the Huns on the road to rise.

As for Touman, Jifu maintains the same attitude as Motun. The so-called hating the house and the crow, Touman likes his younger son and dislikes Moton. He thinks that Moton will become an obstacle for his younger son to succeed Shanyu in the future. Naturally, he didn't like Ji Fu very much.

Mo Dun loves his son very much. Although Ji Yan is only fourteen or fifteen years old, Mo Dun finds that this child is very similar to himself. No matter what decision he makes, Ji Yan can always quickly understand his intentions. .

Therefore, for this son, Mao Dun also put great effort in cultivating him.

Mao Dun said: "Jifeng, you set off immediately and bring someone to contact Wu Luo."

"That villain Wu Luo, why does father need me to see him?" Ji Yan frowned, and said: "He is a guy who does not keep his word, if father hadn't changed his mind temporarily this time, I, the Xiongnu, would have suffered even more serious losses. "

Mao Dun shook his head, knowing that Ji Yan still looked at things a little immaturely, and said: "Wu Luo is indeed an unreliable guy."

"He will tell the Qin army about the situation of our Huns, but similarly, from him, we can also learn the truth about the Qin army."

"This time, the equipment of the Qin army going out of the fortress is very strange. It is said that the Qin army equipped with these riding gear is no weaker than us in riding skills, and can perform many difficult movements on horseback."

Mao Dun went to a place, brought something in front of Ji Wei, and said: "I sent people to the place where Donghu and the Qin army fought to pick it up."

What appeared in front of Ji Yan was a semi-circular thing, just enough to put his feet in.However, this thing is a little broken!
In order to speed up the pursuit of Donghu's main force that day, Fusu could only order to discard these broken things to reduce the burden.

But he didn't want Mao Dun to send someone to pick it up.

"And this." Mao Dun took out another thing, this time it was a U-shaped iron piece.

"Jifeng, I heard from Baxiulie that the Qin army didn't have many people, but their hoofbeats were three or four times louder than ordinary hoofbeats."

"I think the reason may be here."

Ji Yan thought about it for a while, and said, "Father, you want me to take someone to find Wu Luo, and find out about these things?"

A smile appeared on Mao Dun's face, before he could express his intention, Ji Yan had already guessed pretty well.

Mao Dun nodded, and said: "Not only that, you not only have to find out the new equipment of the Qin Army, but also find a way to see if you can exchange it for the equipment of the Qin Army."

"Compared with the Qin army's cavalry equipment, my Xiongnu's cavalry equipment is really poor!"

Mao Dun was also a little envious of the ordnance and equipment equipped by the Qin army. If he could get some of them back and equip them for the Qin army, it would be too wonderful for the Huns!
Mao Dun is confident that if the Xiongnu can equip the armor and weapons of the Qin army, then the Xiongnu will definitely be able to dominate the grassland in the future.

With these weapons, the Huns will be invincible!

"If possible, you should try your best to inquire about the mysterious army that the Qin army is leaving this time. I have a hunch that sooner or later we, the Huns, will face this Qin army."

Ji Yan suddenly thought of something, and said, "Father, if I go to contact Wu Luo, will it affect your plans in the royal court, Father?"

A mocking smile appeared on Mao Dun's face, and he said, "This time the main force loyal to him has been lost, so why should he continue to sit in Shan Yu's position?"

"Pull him down, but sooner or later!"

"Jifeng, don't worry, nothing will happen in the royal court." Mao Dun was quite confident about this.

Obviously, Mo Dun believes that if Touman is not the Shanyu of the Huns, he is not qualified to enter his sight at all, but what else is Touman today?
Seeing Maodu's face, Jifeng also showed a smile, and said: "In this way, after Jifeng comes back, my father will be the plow supporter of the Xiongnu!"

"Jifeng first congratulates father."

Both father and son laughed in this tent.

"Jifeng, you have to be more careful in the future." Mao Dun was still a little worried, and finally warned: "That guy Wu Luo is not reliable."

"My son knows, please don't worry, father." As for Wu Luo, Ji Yan had long disliked him.

In the past, in the royal court of the Huns, relying on the ability to transport grain and salt to the Huns, they aggressively lowered the prices of the Huns' goods.

A piece of sheepskin is often bought by Wu Luo at an extremely low price, but the salt and grains in exchange are pitifully small.

From the very beginning, Ji Yan was on guard against Wu Luo.Such a calculating businessman is definitely not someone who can be trusted.

"Jifeng, if it can be exchanged for some materials from the Qin land, it doesn't matter if the price is higher. Do you understand the reason for this?"

"My child understands." Ji Wei understood Mao Dun's intentions.

………………

Fusu looked at Wu Luo in front of him, but felt rather embarrassed, until now, Wu Luo was released and released from control.

After returning from the grassland, due to various complicated matters, Fusu also forgot to order people to put Wu Luo under house arrest before the war.

But speaking of it, Fusu was also a little annoyed. The reason why Qin Di suffered such a big loss this time was because of Wu Luo's inaccurate information.

Fu Su also knew that Wu Luo couldn't be blamed for this incident.The changing situation of the war is diverse, and often a small factor can have a huge impact.

The change of the Xiongnu's offensive direction was completely unpredictable. Wu Luo had already played a very important role in being able to warn the Qin army in advance.

It's just that Fusu couldn't reveal the slightest hint of this. In Fusu's eyes, a businessman like Wu Luo would dare to open a dyeing workshop if you gave him three points of color.

Seeing Fusu's serious face, Wu Luo was also very disturbed, although he already knew that this battle had already been won, and it was the young master Fusu standing in front of him who won the battle.However, he also knew that there was a big problem with the information he provided this time.

Wu Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Your...Young master, this time the barbarian suddenly changed his course, I really don't know!"

"If the minister knows, he must tell the young master immediately, so as to prevent my soldiers from the Qin army from being so severely injured..."

"That's enough!" Fusu snorted coldly, and said, "This time our Qin army won a big victory, so we won't hold you accountable for the time being, but next time..."

"Never, never." Before Fusu finished speaking, Wu Luo hurriedly agreed.

Fusu glanced at Wu Luo, and said, "This time, I'm looking for you because the Qin army has accumulated a batch of old military armor over the years, and I want to let you handle it."

"This..." Wu Luo hesitated slightly.

Indeed, this is an excellent opportunity to make a fortune, but it is also a very dangerous job. In the past, Wu Luo knew about it, and the barbarians on the grassland wanted such armor several times, but Wu Luo never dared to do it. Dry.

On weekdays, smuggle some salt into the grassland, and food and other supplies are fine!But if you smuggle ordnance and armor, it is collaborating with the enemy.

Wu Luo knew where the boundaries were. If this happened, Emperor Shi Huang would never let him go.

Wu Luo glanced at Fusu quietly, and said, "My lord, does His Majesty know about this?"

Fu Su coughed lightly, and said: "I'll report this matter to His Majesty in the future."

"However, General Meng Tian and I agreed on this matter. Please don't worry, Mr. Wu Luo. If something happens, General Meng Tian and I will take care of it."

Wu Luo suddenly felt speechless. This one is the general who is in charge of the 30 soldiers and horses of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the other is His Majesty's eldest son. Even if His Majesty wants to convict them, these two can be largely exempted from guilt.

But why should I?Thinking of this, Wu Luo wanted to refuse.

Seeing this, Fusu said: "Mr. Wu Luo, I might as well tell you, I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty, now you promise me, this good thing is yours, and I promise you to take [-]% of the profit, but you If you don't agree, if you want to get involved in this matter in the future, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking."

"[-]% profit?" Wu Luo hissed and took a deep breath.

Don't look at it as a [-]% profit, but arms and armor trading has always been huge profits, especially when there is an extreme shortage of barbarians on the grassland at this time.

Even a [-]% profit is already an extremely huge number!
Fu Su was quite helpless, he had told Meng Tian about this matter at first, but Meng Tian naturally sternly refused at that time, and he also couldn't figure out why such thoughts appeared in Fu Su's mind.

In Mengtian's mind, selling these armaments and armor to the barbarian, and dealing with the barbarians in the future, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot.

Fusu spent a lot of talking on this, before he persuaded Meng Tian.

First of all, these bronze-made ordnance armors have been eliminated by the Qin army, and even if they are stored in the warehouse for 100 years, they are worthless.

But if all these armors and weapons were sold to the barbarians, it would naturally be possible to make big profits.It is not impossible to even obtain good horse breeds from the barbarians.

It should be noted that before this, even the male horses that flowed into the Qin land were castrated.

Qin State started by raising horses, but what Qin State raised were Central Plains horses. Compared with grassland horses, Central Plains horses are more docile. In the past, there was no difference between the six countries.

But once confronted with the Hu people, the disadvantages of the horses in the Central Plains will be revealed. The horses on the grassland are obviously more aggressive, and the destructive power produced on the battlefield is stronger.

For this reason, Daqin has always been eager for the excellent horse breeds on the grassland.

And secondly, Fusu didn't have any good intentions in selling the armor to the barbarians. Since Fusu came back from the grassland, he already had a premonition that the grassland would enter a stage of reshuffle in the next period of time.

Among them, the Xiongnu and Donghu will have the most changes. Once a war breaks out among the grassland tribes, the influx of these weapons and armor will inevitably make the war more intense, and taking the opportunity to raise the price of weapons and armor is also an excellent move.

Isn't the triangular trade of later generations just constantly provoking the struggle between the two tribes, profiting from it, and then completing the primitive accumulation for European capitalism!

And during the two world wars, the U.S. emperor sold arms on both sides and earned a lot of money, so he became the number one in the world!
Such a sinful act, just because they are the winners, only needs to shed two crocodile tears and give some hypocritical compensation, so not many people have mentioned it!
Two dogs fight, play off!
This kind of scene is exactly what Fusu wants to see. Fusu knows that after returning to the grassland this time, he will not have time to deal with the things on the grassland for a long time. .

Such hidden dangers persisted, and for Daqin, it was always a time bomb that could explode at any time.

But Fusu and Meng Tian would not do such dirty things by themselves, he and Meng Tian could only let Wu Luo finish such dirty things!
Even if the history of later generations is written, Fusu can completely push the responsibility to Wu Luo. As for him and the court, they are as innocent as a white rabbit throughout the whole process, and they don't know about it at all.

Seeing that Wu Luo was a little moved, Fusu hit the rails while it was hot: "Wu Luo, it will take some time to prepare this matter. I have already received the imperial father's order, and I will leave for Xianyang in two days. I will naturally report to Your Majesty at that time." Report this matter, even if His Majesty refuses to allow it, just stop."

Fusu's words really had a different kind of allure to Wu Luo, Wu Luo took a deep breath and said, "I'm just following your master's orders."
