Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 460: Horse breeding, firearms trade

In Guoqu County, East China Sea, two hundred four hundred warships, fighting ships, grain carriers, and troop carriers assembled. A group of skilled sailors and sailors were busy carrying grain, fresh water, bows and arrows, and kerosene.

The generals of the Fubo Army, Zheng Zhilong and Xu Shengpi, insisted on being sharp and carried out the final inspection before going to sea.

Zheng Zhilong has a special arm "Zheng Family Army", and Xu Sheng has a special arm "Soochow Archer". According to Chutian's establishment, the Fubo Army had fifty thousand soldiers and sailors and nearly one thousand warships, mainly four hundred warships.

"It was too late to train our troops this time, so the lord ordered us to attack Jeju Island. Koryo didn't know how many soldiers were left to defend Jeju Island, but it was inevitable, so we had to train our troops in battle."

"We have many warships still in production, and the average level of sailors and soldiers is less than 30."

"The Liaodong Army is attacking the Koryo Kingdom, containing almost all the forces of the Koryo Kingdom. There is no better time than this to attack Jeju Island by surprise."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the undulating Yellow Sea.

This is the second expedition of the Fubo Legion.

The first time the Fubo Legion went on an expedition was when they attacked Qingzhou, and they basically fought on land...

The surprise attack on Jeju Island in the Koryo Kingdom can only rely on the Fubo Army itself.

It takes a thousand days to keep an army, and a moment to use it.

"General Zheng, General Xu, all ships are ready and ready to go to sea at any time."

Officials who counted the conditions of each ship came to report to Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng looked at each other, and most likely they were ready to go to sea.

"General Xu, the situation has changed!"

Just when Xu Sheng was about to let the sailors lift anchor, a subordinate of the Fubo Legion hurried over to prevent Xu Sheng from going out to sea.

"What happened?"

"The lord has an order to dispatch General Xu Sheng to Yanzhou East County, assemble the Yellow River ferry, and transport military supplies to Jizhou!"

"What about the crusade against Jeju Island?"

"The lord made it clear that General Zheng Zhilong can do it alone. The crusade against Jeju Island will still be done step by step."

Chu Tian's meaning is obvious, he wants to go to Xu Sheng alone.

As for Zheng Zhilong's attack alone, Chutian would not worry about Zheng Zhilong's self-reliance, because the money and food of the Fubo Army were controlled by Chutian.

Jeju Island is just an island, not a climate.

Zheng Zhilong shrugged. He wanted to fight alone. He could only say that Chu Tian believed in his ability too much.

"It's up to you this time."

Xu Sheng bids farewell to Zheng Zhilong and rushes to Dongjun.

He already understood the significance of his trip to Dongjun - Chutian invaded Hebei, and a navy general was needed to transport food and grass from the south of the Yellow River to Baigou in the north of the Yellow River.

The supply of food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops is very cumbersome, and it is undoubtedly the fastest to transport food by water.

Zheng Zhilong watched Xu Sheng leave, so he waved his arm: "Go to sea!"

Following Zheng Zhilong's order, five hundred ships left Quxian and sailed toward the Yellow Sea.

This is the first national war that Chutian launched in the main world. Although the real protagonist of the attack on Koryo was the Liaodong Army, Mingguan ate meat, and Chutian just sent Fubo Army to drink soup, but anyway, he was going to beat Koryo sticks and carve up the largest island of Koryo...

Jeju Island is an excellent place for producing horses. Many war horses of Korea come from Jeju Island.

At the same time, Jeju Island is located between the Han Empire and the Japanese state, and can be used as a springboard for attacking the Japanese state.

Five hundred ships entered the teleportation array in Quxian, and the scene before them changed. They had entered the depths of the Yellow Sea.

Because of the size of the "Lord", the teleportation array in the port can shorten the voyage by about 3/4.

According to Zheng Zhilong's estimate, it only takes ten days of sailing to reach Jeju Island.

…

Dongying, Hirado Castle, Mi Zhu, the Colonel of Dongdu, has been active in this city for a long time. Hirado Castle is still under the direct control of the player's name, Hirai Yoshimori, but Hirao Yoshimori has surrendered to the Shimadzu clan.

The Shimadzu clan had an arrogant attitude towards the merchants from the Han Empire, but in the third national war, the Shimadzu clan suffered heavy losses. Also a lot more forgiving.

Dongying's famous name is a cheap bone. If you are too modest to them, they will be arrogant. Be strong to them and they will be soft.

In the third national war, they finally learned to be good people.

Just like the major feudal lords of the Han Empire, Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo returned to the main world, and immediately began to attack far and near.

Oda Nobunaga, who had already gone to Luo, joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hojo Shiyasu to attack Takeda Shingen. Oda Nobunaga recruited many ancient warriors, further compressing Takeda Shingen's living space.

Although Takeda Shingen has the characteristics of "Fu Lin Volcano", but under the suppression of the ancient generals such as Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hojo Shiyasu, and Gen Yoshitsune, his sphere of influence shrank.

The Dongguo and Gyeonggi are in flames, and the Maori clan, Shimadzu clan, and Changzong's clan of the western country are fighting each other in order to compete for the hegemony of the western country.

Mi Zhu is a chess piece of Chutian's surveillance of Dongying.

Recently, Chutian asked him to get two things in Dongying, arquebus and gunpowder, and set up a magic battalion.

Mi Zhu didn't know what arquebus and gunpowder were, but it didn't hinder his activities.

In the final analysis, firearms are just a commodity, and all tangible things can be regarded as commodity trading.

The place where the special arquebus is produced in the East is Tanegashima, the territory of the Shimadzu retainer Tanegashima clan. In the early 16th century, the Portuguese arquebuses were introduced to Tanegashima. Therefore, the Shimadzu family in "Lord" has a special arm "Iron Cannon", and the arquebuses equipped by the Iron Cannon are produced in Tanegashima.

Mi Zhu specifically found Hirato city master Hei Yisheng, and plotted to buy arquebus and black gunpowder from Hei Yisheng.

The production of firearms and black powder in "Lord" requires blueprints, which are rare. If you really can't buy blueprints, buying arquebus and black powder at a high price is also a way, just like buying war horses from Longyou.

Trade is never a zero-sum game, but complementary advantages.

Ping Yisheng heard that the lords of the Han Empire had tried to buy arquebus and black powder, and couldn't help frowning: "Ordinary troops cannot use arquebuses, and arquebuses are as expensive as war horses. Don't you have your own in the Han Empire? firearms?"

Ping Yisheng can be a big name in Kyushu Island, and he is not a mediocre person. Through Mi Zhu's behavior of buying arquebus and black powder, he infers that Chutian is trying to form a team equipped with arquebus. Elite Corps.

Firearms are rare, but not uncommon, and every civilization has at least one or two firearms.

Such as the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Shenji Camp in the Eastern Han District, the Iron Artillery Team and the Horse-riding Iron Artillery Team (Masamune Date) in the Eastern Han District, and the Turkish Musketeers of the Ottoman Empire...

These units are likely to be Tier 8 units, and only they can use firearms.

Firearms, like heavy cavalry, are expensive to manufacture and are the trump card troops of various princes or daimyo.

Mi Zhu replied: "I'm just a businessman. In business, as long as Hirado City manages to get the firearms we want, the price can be negotiated."

Ping Yisheng pondered: "According to the trade treaty, there is no exchange of weapons between the two sides. I have a way to get the iron guns produced by Tanegashima, but why should I sell them to the Han Empire? If one day, we will face each other with arms. , I am ashamed of the people here."

"That's too bad. Han won't grow much because of a batch of arquebuses. A batch of arquebuses is only a drop in the bucket for us in the Han Dynasty. The lord buys firearms from your Excellency, and it is your honor, please don't miss this Opportunity. The lord has a word, as long as you trade firearms with us, you and your descendants can forever be the lord of Hirado, and will never break your promise.”

In order to encourage Ping Yisheng to sell firearms to the Han Empire, Mi Zhu made an empty check.

"Please let me think about it..."

Hirai Yoshimori was lost in thought.

Selling firearms to other civilizations?

This means huge profits, but also means betrayal of players from Eastern Ying Kingdom.

"We will keep the firearms trade strictly confidential and will never let the rest of the East Yingyi know about it. If you are unwilling to trade firearms with us, we have to retreat and take the initiative to go to Tanegashima to meet with Tanegashima. Shimazu, Shimadzu trade. Shimadzu is at war with the Maori, and should be eager to get a lot of gold and silver."

Mi Zhu still has alternative options, and he believes that Ping Yisheng will eventually compromise.

The daimyo of Dongying will not refuse the proposal of the Chutian forces. After Mi Zhu explored the complex relationship between the daimyo in the east, he began to take advantage of the contradiction between the daimyo and profit from it.

Furthermore, the condition of being the lord of Hirado forever is a great temptation for Hirao Yoshimori.

If he can't unify Dongying ~IndoMTL.com~ forever as a local emperor-like city lord seems to be the best way out.

In addition to matchlock guns, gunpowder should also have special drawings.

Mi Zhu bought 500 arquebuses and the corresponding amount of gunpowder from Ping Yisheng in one breath.

At the same time, Kyushu Island also sold firearms to the Oda Nobunaga forces and made a friendly gesture to the Oda family.

The current Oda family has received the support of the Tokugawa family, the Hojo family, and the Shimadzu family. The enemies of Oda Nobunaga, the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, and the Mori family have to join forces.

Mi Zhu saw it in his eyes.

He wanted to encourage Chutian to send troops to Dongying, but Chutian's strategic focus was on Hebei, and he was powerless about the situation in Dongying.

Ping Yisheng has been operating on Kyushu Island for several years, and he really has the means to provide Mi Zhu with 500 arquebuses and the corresponding gunpowder.

Mi Zhu ordered the firearms to be transported back to the Han Empire.

These firearms arrived in Xuzhou when Zheng Zhilong dispatched his troops.

Chutian got a batch of arquebuses and couldn't wait to recruit the infantry of the 500 Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion is divided into infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

The Ottoman Empire's Suleiman the Magnificent only brought a few hundred Turkish musketeers to participate in the national war, so the number of 500 arquebuses is already quite large.

The Shenji Battalion infantry equipped with arquebuses belongs to the eighth-order special arms, and the recruitment cycle is three months.

The battle to pacify Hebei may take more than three months, so the Shenji Battalion can intervene in the battlefield in the middle or late stage.

"The arquebuses that Mi Zhu got are not enough. We can exchange gold with each other for firearms, and then we can use force to get the gold back..."
