Chapter 1863 selling weapons(1/2)
Zhao Xu kept looking ahead, worried that Chen An would be attacked by a sneak attack.
"There are less than 60,000 enemies, so our army is not afraid!" This is what Chen An left before leaving, which gave Zhao Xu strong confidence.
"The Duke of the State has sent a signal!"
When Chen An raised his hand for the second time, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, his face turned slightly red, "Go forward!"
The array slowly moved. Behind the rear, the cannons were lifted to the ashore one by one, and then they hung up the war horses, and soon they were dragged to chase after them.
We are not afraid!
Zhao Xu never felt so relieved.
But he was worried about Chen An's safety.
"It's time to start!"
The Seljuk people over there raised their long swords, and someone exclaimed.
Zhao Xu's face was ashen, but he was powerless.
You shouldn't go!
"The enemy has retreated!"
The Seljuk people suddenly put down their knife, and Zhao Xu even saw a smile in the telescope.
"They are afraid."
Huang Chun said: "King, the navy's artillery can also become a land fortress, and we are invincible."
Chen An is back.
He rode his horse easily, as if he was just going to chat and spank with his friends.
"Thousands of victories! Thousands of victories! Thousands of victories!"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Just on the sea, the navy's warships were chasing the Dashi 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 a stunning journey even if there are swords and fires ahead.
This is the true nature of Han'er.
The enemy ship fled in a panic, leaving piles of burning torches on the sea.
"What do they say?" When Chen An returned, Zhao Xu had no more worries.
"I want to talk." Chen An moved his neck. He slept last night and felt very uncomfortable. "Lately, we are still stationed at the dock, just stare at it."
This person is so relaxed?
Chen An and Zhao Xu were whispering to discuss the next negotiations, and the generals were also discussing the previous meeting.
"The Duke of the State is really bold. The great cannibal hates him to the core. If he can, he will definitely kill him at any cost."
"But the Duke only raised his hand twice, and the Seljuks gave in. As for the cannibals, they are now Seljuk's little brothers. Without Seljuk's permission, they dare not."
“…”
Then the two sides sent envoys to start negotiations.
The venue was chosen on the dock, which was Chen An's insistence.
“We need trade, we need money.”
Seljuk has ignored the big food at this moment, so it is better to come directly.
"I said that the goods will be delivered to the seaside of Dashi, and it is here." It is impossible for Chen An to not let go of the sea boat in Dashi to go to the entrance of Dasong.
These knives probably felt that they had the ability to negotiate in the world. After seeing Chen An disagree, they immediately raised another question, "How can the Song Dynasty ensure peace between each other?"
This is a difficult question to answer.
The generals of the Song army found it very troublesome because if they agreed, the Song navy will not be able to move in this area in the future.
"Can't agree!" A general frowned and said, "If you can't, you will fight! They will be afraid of hitting them!"
Chang Jianren shook his head, "Let's see the Duke deal with them."
He had almost blind belief in Chen An, feeling that these sticks were seeking death.
Zhao Xu said lightly: "Look at how Duke Chen digs a hole, so you can learn it too."
There are naturally civil servants who accompany you. They have experienced little experience in such external negotiations, so now is a great time to learn.
Chen An frowned and said, "Peace, what can the Song Dynasty use to ensure peace?"
The Seljuks' messenger; sneered: "The Song Dynasty should sign a document."
"The greatest function of documents between countries is to wipe your butt!"
Chen An vulgarly despised the messenger, "You are not a qualified messenger, go back and change another person."
This is humiliation!
The messenger blushed and stood up and said, "Your words will make Seljuk furious!"
"Idiot!" Chen An waved his hand, not wanting to talk to such a idiot at all.
The messenger went back all the way and found the king and told him his grievances.
"Classification?"
The king frowned and said, "Have I ever mentioned asking 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 for them. Then they signed documents and surrendered to the power of the kings of the East and the West.
The king of the country kept his forehead, "Classics are just an act used by the powerful party to restrain the weak. For us, the documents that ensure peace in the Song Dynasty were useless at all. Why? Because they are powerful, if they want, they can tear up the documents at any time."
He sighed, thinking that the messenger was too stupid, so he chose another person.
The new messenger was very smart and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Can the Song Dynasty sell those firearms? If so, Seljuk is willing to pay a lot of money to buy them."
"No, that's the gift of the gods." Chen An was a little excited, "If someone sells a firearm, his Majesty will kill his entire family."
"Scary, okay, then...what to sell something else? For example, warships."
The latest instructions from the king are to buy things.
Since documents are useless, why not buy some good things with the friendly attitude of the Song people?
Yes, they thought 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 bad opponent!
The king felt that such a stick must be his defeated general in the end, so it is not unacceptable to endure some shame at this moment.
"Warship?" Chen An glanced at the messenger, "Don't even think about it. Warship is the most important thing in the Song Dynasty. Not to mention a transaction, it's impossible to take a look at it."
Of course the messenger knew that it was not possible, but these were just preparations. He pointed to the village soldiers behind Chen An and asked, "Where is this kind of knife?"
In the previous fight, the weapons of the Song Dynasty were so sharp that it made people desperate. The soldiers who escaped by chance after the fight were holding their long swords that were cut out of their gap and were in tears.
What should I do if I encounter such an opponent?
Of course, the Seljuks are not without good knives, but that is a minority after all.
The strategists all felt that the Song people could not agree to this request, so their ultimate goal was to buy iron.
Yes, you read that right.
Just as in the long period of time in later generations, the strength of various countries was measured by the output of steel, in this era, iron is national strength.
The Seljuks were obviously behind in the production of iron materials, and could only watch the Song people's armor and drool.
If you attack westward, weapons will be the most critical factor.
Thinking of this, the messenger said seriously: "The enemies in the west are not weak. They are very powerful when they join forces. Seljuk is not afraid of any opponents, but if they can have better weapons, then I think this is a good thing for all parties."
Seljuk defeated the Western countries and became the hegemon in the West. It was also good for the Song Dynasty to become a central country in the East. It was also interesting to see the two countries facing each other from the east to the east.
But the West...
Chen An couldn't help but want to laugh.
If the West joins forces, the Seljuks will probably find it difficult to please them.
But there is also Byzantine!
If Byzantium also joins in, the world will be too interesting.
Chen An thought this was a good idea, but pretended to be serious and said, "Weapon! You have to think about this carefully."
If you are willing to consider it, there is hope!
The envoy was overjoyed and continued, "There is no sea route over there. If the Song Dynasty landed from here to conquer the West, how can we ensure food and grass? So Seljuk is not worried that the Song Dynasty will become an opponent, we should be friends."
To be continued...
