Li Guobin knew that these big businessmen had hundreds of thousands of capital, and they were all fat in people's eyes. When the Jinyiwei was in full swing decades ago, merchants in the capital were often arrested for being accused of thieves or bandits. They lighted the lamp and boiled oil, and would almost never escape the wealth without vomiting. 8 Novel w?ww.`

Nowadays, businessmen are different from the past. The trend of doing business in the Jiangnan area is growing day by day, and the wealth of merchants in the capital is also increasing day by day. With more money, they naturally have to find a backer, either a lord or a vassal, a eunuch, or a close friend. Among the merchants in front of them, there are many people who can speak with the backbone of the parties in the court. However, at most, they buy goods from Heyusheng and say a few words of kindness. It is impossible to rely on their sincere efforts to help Zhang Hanping.

"By the way," Li Guobin said to everyone: "There are still some here. Please see how much you might get rid of?"

He signaled, and the companion outside took a few packages in.

The curiosity of various businesses was suffocated, and everyone couldn't sit still, so they stood up to see them.

"knife?"

"Bird gun?"

"sword?"

There is indeed a "" in front of me. There are also a complete molding of Qi swords, a lancet sword, a brow tattoo sword, a few swords of different shapes, and a bird gun that is extremely well-made and can't stand it when held in my hand.

"These goods are easy to deal with, and they can be eaten by them. The court can't help but trade swords, but the people don't use them much, and they may not sell them as good as those of shovels, and they are worse." The fat merchant named Qin Zihua, who is also a person with great hands and eyes. He pondered while saying, "The quality is too good, many times better than those produced by the Ministry of Works. I can't put it down when I see them, let alone martial artists. Even scholars with artful temperament may also be able to know the goods. If this sword is added to the scabbard, it is not impossible to sell a few dozen gold. " In short, I will order a thousand swords and the like, and of course the price will be determined by He Yusheng. I believe He Yusheng."

Of course, Li Guobin was particularly polite when Qin Zihua was so bachelor, and said, "The Master Qin ordered the order first, so the price will naturally be more favorable."

This means that Qin Zihua is cheaper than other businesses. Qin Zihua doesn't care about this little money, but he feels very proud. He smiles slightly and shows joy.

"The Ministry of Works will definitely not buy it." Another businessman named Jiang Xingming said: "The Ministry of Works has a lot of tricks in making weapons, and the oil and water are very high. There is no problem with buying raw materials. If you ask them to buy ready-made ones, you will never do it."

The big head produced by the Ministry of Industry is firearms a year, and I don’t know how many large firearms have been made. There are more than a thousand large guns such as Folang machines and various cannons in Liaoyang City in Liaoyang City. The number added to the nine sides is amazing. Adding bird guns and various firearms, swords and spears, and the highlight is armor. The armor is not very good and "watered". No matter how poor the quality is, it must be inlaid with iron pieces. Unlike bird guns made of 40 kilograms, it is cast less than half of the material. Two thousand kilograms of iron material are reported to each cannon. In fact, only about 40% of the material is used. A large amount of iron material and wages are embezzled. All officials of the Ministry of Industry are hung to death. There is definitely no wrong injustice. These things are well-known reality.

"If Zhang Dongzhu has a nine-sided relationship, it is most cost-effective to sell it to the generals of each military town." Someone gave an idea: "The weapons used by the battalions of each military town are made by the Ministry of Works, or the shoddy things collected from the self-defense of the military town. However, their servants must use good goods. Except for being able to build some by themselves, they can only rely on buying them."

"There will be corresponding shops everywhere." Another person said: "Some servants will customize the weapons they have to buy together, but that is only a few, and most of them are still relying on the generals. In addition, the military towns will also allocate funds to purchase weapons, and the generals will also buy some symbolically. I know that the shipment volume of Heyusheng is very large. If these channels are used, the goods will naturally go out."

Li Guobin was really not very expert in these things. At this time, he knew vaguely that it was a good way to find military town to sell weapons. Zhang Han planned to sell weapons for everyone. Only the most sophisticated new flint rifles would never be sold. In the future, the Napoleon cannons that were ready to be cast will definitely not be sold, and the armor would not be sold. It would be a shameful thing for other weapons to sell as much as they want.

In addition to the waist knives and shields of the war team, the cold weapons equipped by Zhang Han's army are mainly dominated by the long spears that the military town despises the most. As for swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, as long as there is an order, it will be as much as you need.

Li Guobin raised his wine glass, and he already knew who would do the best to do this.

...

Time flies in a flash, and half a month has passed, and it is already mid-April of the first year of the Apocalypse.

The weather has officially warmed up, and the Qingming Festival has passed, the willow trees are already green, and Xinpingbao is gradually regaining vitality. The moon market in April has not opened because the battle situation is too tense.

There have been new changes in the Liao incident, of course, not in the better direction, but in the worse.

Zhang Han received the latest Beijing Tang report at the end of March. Sure enough, the historical trend did not change at all, and everything was on the established track.

In later generations, Zhang Han also closed the book and sighed when he was making up for knowledge... The Ming Dynasty was obviously a hundred times larger than the Later Jin Dynasty, and the population was even larger. I don’t know how to calculate it... Conservatively, the Ming Dynasty had a population of 150 million, and the high number was 300 million. The population of the Later Jin Dynasty was 200,000, and the number of men was 150 to 600,000!

The gap is so big, why is the latter gold that won in the end?

This problem was once unsolvable for Zhang Han, but now he has gradually understood it.

One is an internal friction, inefficient, corruption rampant, and low control court. In addition, natural disasters are not chaotic and constantly, there is no way to put population and wealth advantages into the military. Moreover, the internal struggles in the court are endless. At critical moments, the one who loses the most is always his own people. In this way, he will also fight ghosts. The Later Jin is equivalent to having a helper, always pulling the hands of the giant of the Ming Dynasty at the most critical moment, and then asking the Later Jin to keep slapping monsters and tearing treasure chests, constantly strengthening his own strength.

By the end of Chongzhen, the strategic positions of the two sides were no longer equal. The Ming Dynasty had a million troops, with less than 100,000 troops capable of fighting, and only a corner of western Liaoning. Later, the Jin Dynasty had almost all the former lands of Liao and Gunnuergandusi. Almost all Mongolia had hundreds of thousands of control strings and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and a large country with a large area of ​​thousands of miles of nomads, fishing, hunting, and farming.

The real change begins with this war born in March of the first year of the Apocalypse!

The real reason for the incident was that Wanli died, Taichang died immediately, and then the palace was seized. The concubines of Li Xuanshi were given by Li Jinzhong, who was Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuchs who were defeated by eunuchs Wang An and Donglin Party and other civil servants. Tianqi ascended the throne, and the Donglin Party almost made contributions to support them. Then Fang Congzhe, the auxiliary, and the Donglin Party members took the important position in the court. Then Liu Guojin, Yao Zongwen, Feng Sanyuan and other Donglin Party members rose up to attack Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi knew that the party was going to go all the support, and he was strong.

It is useless to stay, so he resigned angrily. Although Tianqi felt that Xiong Tingbi was a capable man, he was a young emperor and could not control government affairs at will... Tianqi was actually educated and not an illiterate person who was later generations, but he had not received systematic imperial education, so he could only do everything by himself. Speaking of which, he was actually better than his writing, able to write poetry, and diligent younger brother Chongzhen, but in the first year of Taichang and the first year of Tianqi, he was just a boy under twenty years old.

Xiong Tingbi left his post, and the ambitious Donglin Party member Yuan Yingtai took office. After he became the chief lieutenant, he recruited surrenders and rebels, recruited a large number of Liaodong soldiers, and accommodated many exiled Mongolians. For this reason, General You Shigong and others once persuaded him, but Yuan Yingtai did not listen.

By March of the first year of Tianqi, Nuerhaci, who had conquered Yehe, had all his clan soldiers and soldiers to attack Chenyang first. General He Shixian led his servants and elite soldiers to fight. He Shixian himself was unstoppable and rushed left and right in the Later Jin army formation. However, facing the superior Jurchen cavalry, He Shixian's troops were too small and outnumbered and were defeated on the battlefield. There were many generals in the city guarding Chenyang City. Chenyang City was high and steep and strict with the garrison. Nearly 60,000 defenders were also equivalent to the Later Jin soldiers. If Gucheng defended itself, the Later Jin soldiers would have almost no chance to attack the city. After the general and elite soldiers were defeated, there were Mongols in the city and the Later Jin Li to cooperate with Hou Jinli. At the critical moment, the city gates were opened and surrendered. The Later Jin soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to conquer Chenyang.

Then there was the famous bloody battle in Hunhe. The Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers cooperated, and the Baigang soldiers defended the formation. The Later Jin suffered thousands of casualties here. Many years later, they were still amazed at the strength of the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers. However, when the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy, the 30,000 Northern Army was less than ten miles apart. As a result, when the Southern Army fought until the entire army was wiped out, the Northern Army hid not far away to watch the fun. Until the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers were eliminated, the Northern Army, which specialized in selling teammates, had never appeared.

Then Nuerhaci took advantage of the situation to attack Liaoyang. Yuan Qingtai led his personal soldiers and the generals of the Northern Army to fight, and then defeated in one battle. Later, he defended the city. As a result, the Mongolian spies in the city opened the city and cooperated with the Later Jin soldiers inside and outside. There were also 50,000 or 60,000 troops, facing the larger and more majestic Liaoyang City, which was still attacked by the Later Jin soldiers.

When Zhang Han received the detailed report from the Tang Dynasty, he didn't feel that Liaoyang and Shenyang had no reason to lose from a military perspective. There were more than a hundred generals, and there were more than 100,000 personal soldiers and servants. There were enough elite soldiers who dared to fight in the Later Jin soldiers. There were strong soldiers like Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers who could fight in groups, and there were 100,000 Northern Army soldiers who could use them to guard the city. In this case, the Later Jin soldiers used less than 20,000 war soldiers and tens of thousands of flag soldiers to win several consecutive battles and conquered two cities. The Later Jin side boasted that it was destiny. Even Zhang Han thought that God was helping the Jurchens cheat. Now he realized that the failure of the Ming side was a necessity, and a necessity under internal friction.

In the two major battles, except for the 100,000 Northern Army losses, the elite Zhejiang soldiers in the Southern Army, that is, the embers of Qi Jiguang's troops, completely disappeared into the long river of history. Then the Sichuan soldiers suffered heavy losses. Later, the Sichuan soldiers transferred 7,000 long spear soldiers, which the Ministry of War regarded as treasures and had been guarding Shanhaiguan. Even Ningyuan and Jinzhou did not dare to be afraid of going there.

In addition to losing the center of Shenyang and Liaoyang in Liaodong, the four guards in southern Liaoning must have been completely finished. The four guards are only famous and have no military strength. This is equivalent to the fact that the land of Fushun, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Liaoyang, Chenyang and the southern four guards in the south has been lost, and the population has been lost for several million. There are also a large number of arsenals traps falling into the opponent. The losses are no longer heavy, but one arm is cut off! Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
