A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1863: Selling Weapons

Zhao Xu kept looking ahead, worried that Shen An would be attacked by surprise.

"The enemy has less than 60,000 troops, but our army is not afraid!" These were the words Shen An left before leaving, which gave Zhao Xu strong confidence.

"The Duke has sent a signal!"

When Shen An raised his hand for the second time, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, his face turned red, "Forward!"

The array moved slowly, and at the rear, the artillery pieces were lifted ashore one after another, then mounted on horses, and they were soon dragged up to catch up.

We are not afraid!

Zhao Xu had never felt so at ease.

But he was worried about Shen An's safety.

"It's time to take action!"

The Seljuks over there raised their long swords, and some people were exclaiming.

Zhao Xu's face was ashen, but he could do nothing.

You shouldn't go!

"The enemy has retreated!"

The Seljuks suddenly put down their swords, and Zhao Xu even saw a smile in the telescope.

"They're scared."

Huang Chun said: "Your Majesty, the naval artillery can also become a fortress on land. We are invulnerable."

Shen An is back.

He rode forward easily, as if he had just gone to chat with his friends.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Everyone couldn't help but cheered.

Just on the sea, the navy's warships were chasing the big navy.

"Kill the enemy!"

The skinny painter was the first to jump onto the enemy's warship, and no one could defeat him wherever he passed.

They are fearless and dare to go for it even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead.

This is Han'er's true nature.

The enemy ships fled in panic, leaving piles of burning torches on the sea.

"What did they say?" When Shen An returned, Zhao Xu had nothing to worry about.

"We need to talk." Shen An stretched his neck. He had a stiff neck last night and felt very uncomfortable. "It will be later. We will still be stationed at the dock. The scouts will just keep an eye on him."

How could this man be so relaxed?

Shen An and Zhao Xu were discussing the next negotiations in low voices, and the generals were also discussing the previous meetings.

"The Duke is really bold. The cannibal hates him deeply. If possible, he will be killed at all costs."

"But the Duke only raised his hand twice, and the Seljuks gave up. As for the cannibals, they are now the little brothers of the Seljuks. Without the permission of the Seljuks, they would not dare."

"..."

Then the two sides sent envoys to start negotiations.

The venue was chosen to be on the pier, which was Shen An's insistence.

"We need trade, we need money."

Seljuk had already ignored Dashi at this moment and came directly to ask for the benefits.

"A certain person said that the goods will be delivered to the seaside of Dashi, right here." Shen An would not let go of the Dashi ship to go to the Song Dynasty. It was impossible.

This group of sticks probably felt that their negotiation skills were unparalleled in the world. After seeing Shen An's disagreement, they immediately raised another question, "How can the Song Dynasty ensure peace between them?"

This is a difficult question to answer.

The generals of the Song Army found it very troublesome, because if they agreed, it would be difficult for the Song Navy to move in this area in the future.

"I can't agree!" A general frowned and said, "If you don't agree, I'll beat you! Beat them until they're scared!"

Chang Jianren shook his head, "Let's see the Duke deal with them."

He had almost blind faith in Shen An and felt that these sticks were seeking death.

Zhao Xu said calmly: "Look at how Duke Shen digs a hole, and you can learn from it."

Naturally, there will be civil servants accompanying them. They have little experience in foreign negotiations, and now is a good time to learn.

Shen An frowned and said, "Peace, what can the Song Dynasty do to ensure peace?"

The Seljuk envoy sneered: "The Song Dynasty should sign a document."

“The biggest role of documents between countries is to wipe their butts!”

Shen An looked down upon the messenger in a vulgar manner, "You are not a qualified messenger. Go ahead and become a new person."

This is humiliating!

The messenger blushed, stood up and said: "Your words will make Seljuk furious!"

"Idiot!" Shen An waved his hand, not wanting to talk to such an idiot at all.

The envoy went all the way back, found the king of the country, and expressed his grievances.

"Documentary?"

The king frowned and said, "Did I ask for documents?"

The messenger was stunned, "But we had it before."

The Seljuks conquered everything they saw along the way, and the cannibals were no match. Then they signed documents one after another and submitted to the power of the King of the East and the West.

The leader of the country covered his forehead, "Documents are just a way for the powerful to restrain the weak. For us, the documents of the Song Dynasty to ensure peace are completely useless. Why? Because they are powerful and they can tear up the documents at any time if they want."

He sighed, feeling that this messenger was too stupid, so he chose someone else.

The new envoy was very shrewd and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Can the Song Dynasty sell those firearms? If so, Seljuk is willing to pay a large price to buy them."

"No, that's a gift from the gods." Shen An was a little excited, "If someone sells a firearm, His Majesty will kill someone's whole family."

"Terrible, okay, then... what about selling something else? For example, warships."

The latest instruction from the king is to buy something.

Since paperwork is useless, why not take advantage of the friendly gestures of the Song people and buy some goodies?

Yes, they felt that the Song people were very friendly. After punishing the cannibals and the Seljuks, they actually gave up the pursuit and chose to negotiate.

What a formidable opponent!

The king felt that such a stick would definitely be his defeat in the end, so it was not unacceptable to endure some humiliation at this moment.

"Warship?" Shen An squinted at the envoy, "Don't even think about it. Warship is the most important thing in the Song Dynasty. Let alone business, you can't even take a second look at it."

Of course the envoy knew it couldn't be done, but this was just a foreshadowing. He pointed at a few rural soldiers behind Shen An and asked, "Where is this kind of knife?"

In the previous fight, Da Song's weapons were so sharp that it made people despair. Those soldiers who managed to escape after the fight were crying without tears while holding the long knives with which they had been cut.

What should you do if you encounter such an opponent?

Of course, the Seljuks are not without good swords, but they are a minority after all.

The counselors all felt that it was impossible for the Song people to agree to this request, so the ultimate goal was to purchase iron materials.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

Just like for a long time in later generations, the strength of various countries was measured by the production of steel. In this era, iron is national strength.

The Seljuks were obviously lagging behind in the production of iron materials, and they could only drool looking at the Song people's armor.

If we attack westward, weapons will be the most critical factor.

Thinking of this, the envoy said seriously: "The enemies in the west are not weak. They are powerful together. Seljuk is not afraid of any opponent, but if there are better weapons, then I think it will be beneficial to all parties." Good thing."

Seljuk defeated the Western countries and became the overlord in the West. It is not bad for the Song Dynasty to become a central country in the east. The two countries face each other from east to west, which is also very interesting.

But the West...

Shen An couldn't help but want to laugh.

If the West joins forces, the Seljuks may not be able to please them.

But there is Byzantium!

If Byzantium also joined in, this world would be so interesting.

Shen An thought this was a good idea, but pretended to be serious and said, "Weapons! You have to think about this carefully."

If you are willing to consider it, there is hope!

The envoy was overjoyed and continued: "That place is thousands of miles away and there is no sea route to reach it. If the Song Dynasty landed here to conquer the west, how would the food and grass be guaranteed? So Seljuk is not worried that the Song Dynasty will become an opponent. We should be friend."

Shen An was thinking hard, then stood up and said that he was going to find someone to discuss.

The crown prince of the Song Dynasty is here, and he must go to ask for instructions.

The messenger was happy and went back to report.

"Want to discuss?" The king smiled and said, "Very good."

The Lord of Dashi Kingdom muttered: "I'm afraid their crown prince won't agree, and they will quarrel, or..."

"I'll squint for a while."

When Shen An returned to the boat, the first thing he did was to lie down.

My neck feels so uncomfortable!

Zhao Xu was fishing on the deck, leisurely and completely.

More than an hour later, Shen An woke up.

He lazily washed his face, drank a cup of tea, and then ordered: "Let the messenger speak."

The messenger returns again.

"Weapons..." Shen An looked very tired, and the envoy felt a little frustrated.

He thought this fatigue was caused by long-term quarrels, but it was actually caused by Shen An sleeping in the middle of the day.

"A long knife won't do it...a broadsword will do."

After seeing the swordsmen and axemen of the Song Dynasty, the king was astonished and regarded them as rare warriors in the world. If they can get some swords and axes back, Seljuk can also form his own Mo Dao team.

Shen An raised his head and said, "I have been arguing with the king for a long time about this matter. The long knife can be sold."

The messenger stood up subconsciously, "Really?"

"certainly."

Shen An rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that he was pretending, at least he was pretending to be physically and mentally exhausted, and the rest depended on whether Seljuk would be fooled or not.

"That lunatic, he dared to sell weapons to the Seljuks. After returning to the Song Dynasty, I will impeach him! I will make him pay the price!"

Angry sounds could be heard faintly, as well as sounds of struggling, as if a person was being hugged from behind and then kicked around with his feet.

The interpreter whispered: "It's the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. He is cursing this... and calling him a madman. UUReading www.uukanshu.net "

hehe!

The messenger smiled, feeling very happy in his heart.

Crazy is good! Only lunatics can fool us. When he saw Shen An's serious expression, he became even happier.

The crown prince of the Song Dynasty was young and energetic, so he was definitely not willing to sell weapons to his opponents, but Shen An was a famous general and a famous stick general, so he felt that this was the best way.

Make a fuss, make a fuss as hard as you can, it's best if the crown prince of the Song Dynasty chops Shen An with one knife, then the king of the country will definitely have a revelry.

"This is the catalog. You can read it yourself. Go back and discuss how much you need."

The Seljuk envoy almost floated back, and the way he held up the book reminded people of the word "villain succeeds".

"My lord, the people of Song Dynasty have agreed."

The king looked at the weapons catalog and when he saw that there were swords and axes, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "They really don't want to be our enemies. This is the best news."

"Master of the country, Shen An and I were at each other's throats and argued for a long time. During this period, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty cursed for this, and finally this matter was brought about..."

"I remember your contribution." The king nodded, stood up and said, "The Song people thought they could show their friendship in this way, but this is stupid. The so-called famous general is just a fool. But their crown prince He is a very perceptive person who deserves our vigilance.”

The Lord of Dashi Kingdom said happily: "Famous generals may not understand this."

The king nodded, "Yes, foreign affairs have nothing to do with famous generals."

They didn't know that Shen An was the number one person involved in foreign affairs in the Song Dynasty, so they couldn't help but feel proud and celebrated with their foreheads and hands.

"The Song people don't want to cause trouble, so let's go west." The king smiled and said: "When we have conquered a large territory, we will come back again."
