[Chapter 728] The price is fair, and the old man is not deceived
Before, Guanghaijun also thought about buying a large number of firearms from the Ming army, equiping his own army, and fighting the invasion of Japanese pirates alone. However, the quality of the firearms that the Ming Dynasty could provide was not very good, and the Korean army was unwilling to accept them. Guanghaijun himself also came out of the war and did not catch a cold for those weak firearms. This matter was given up. However, the firearms of the White Army were different. The firearms of the White Army looked much stronger than those used by the Ming army.
Otherwise, how could they kill so many Jin troops?
Xu Xingxia said shamelessly: "The Great Jin Kingdom has fully realized the power of our army's firearms. The corpses everywhere are the best proof. If your army equips our army's firearms and defeats the Great Jin army, there is no problem at all."
Li Erzhan hurriedly said, "I wonder how many weapons your army can provide?"
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Our army can buy weapons such as muskets, as much as our army can provide. Don't worry, the price is absolutely easy to negotiate."
As he said that, he took out a price list that had been prepared long ago and sent it to Li Erzhan. He said with a smile: "Look, the price is absolutely fair and the same is true."
Li Erzhan has looked at the price list and cursed in his heart, "Why are the price fair and the only one who is innocent?"
You are just killing people with your eyes open. We only need thirty taels of silver to buy the most advanced musket from the hands of Westerners. As a result, the muskets made by your white army actually cost thirty taels of silver to be made, which is simply too bullying.
Xu Xingxia casually said: "Mr. Li, the muskets equipped by our army are completely different from those equipped by Westerners. The muskets used by our army are much more powerful, have a longer range, and have better accuracy. If you don't believe it, let's try it yourself.
He waved his hand and asked someone to bring a war horse seized from Jianlu and put it thirty feet away. He asked someone to find a Sun and Moon Division and shoot at the war horse. As a result, with one shot, the war horse fell down. Then, he asked someone to find ten Sun and Moon Divisions and hand it over to Li Erzhan's guards for personal experiments. Sure enough, after a continuous operation and test shooting, his guard soldiers couldn't put down Sun and Moon Divisions and were almost unwilling to hand it back to the White Army.
Li Erzhan and others were really moved. Obviously, the muskets of the White Army were much more powerful than the muskets they had seen before. Such muskets were not very expensive at thirty taels of silver. It seems that Xu Xingxia was not completely cheating himself. The price was indeed perfect. If the Korean army equipped with such firearms, it could at least give strong killing and damage to the Japanese pirates and would not continue to let the Japanese pirates rush around unscrupulously.
In fact, with the continuous improvement of production technology and the continuous expansion of scale, the production cost of the Sun and Moon system has been controlled to less than three taels of silver. Xu Xingxia's turnover will be nine times the profit. Such a fair price is perfect, and it is estimated that only Xu Xingxia can do it. He cheated the Koreans of a large sum of silver, and the other party is still full of disasters.
Li Erzhan immediately made a decision to purchase 10,000 Sun and Moon Systems and supporting ammunition first.
After going back to discuss with King Li Hui, the number of purchases may increase. He believes that Li Hui will definitely like such weapons. As long as the North Korean army changes clothes in large quantities, whether it is used to deal with the Japanese or the Jurchens, it is a good weapon.
The only regret is that the Kingdom of Korea does not currently have so much silver. In general, 1
The Kingdom of Korea is still relatively poor and does not have much financial resources. Moreover, in order to consolidate his rule, Kwanghae-jun Lee Hung has implemented many tax-free policies, which has also reduced the country's fiscal and tax revenue. It is not realistic to buy a large number of muskets at once.
As if he had figured out Li Erzhan's thoughts, Xu Xingxia said very kindly: "Mr. Li, it doesn't matter if your country's money is insufficient. Our white-clothed army provides a long-term account. You can withdraw the muskets first and then slowly raise the money."
Li Erzhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he could no longer suppress his emotions. He rushed out and said, "Is this true? That's great! What kind of mortgage is needed?"
Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "No need to mortgage anything, just write it clearly in black and white. As for the interest, it is calculated according to the lowest level. In fact, it doesn't matter if your country does not pay interest. Lord Li, I said that our white-clad army always has fair prices and no deception in business." Mao Wenlong secretly admires him. The boss is the boss, and he has confidence in his words!
With the strength of the White Army, where do you need any mortgage? It is best if you make excuses to cheat and not pay back the money. We will directly send the army to land, take over your entire country, and directly control everything in the hands of the White Army. Of course, this is the most extreme situation. Xu Xingxia is not worried at all. North Korea will have the courage to pay back the debt unless they don’t want to mess around.
However, Mao Wenwu was still a little worried. If so many Sun and Moon Mirrors were sold to the North Koreans, they would definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the North Koreans. Moreover, after these Sun and Moon Mirrors were in the hands of others, they might be lost to the hands of other forces. It should be noted that the Koreans are also very powerful. For the sake of spending money, they can do anything. What is the point of reselling some of the Sun and Moon guns to others at a high price?
Xu Xingxia was not worried at all. Weapons like Sun and Moon Guns were always replaced by new weapons. With the emergence of Han-style rifles, the Sun and Moon Guns originally equipped by the White Army were eliminated in large quantities. If they did not find a suitable way out, it would be really troublesome! The so-called re-destruction actually required costs. One made money and the other lost money, which was huge. As long as it could be sold, Xu Xingxia would of course actively promote it. A Sun and Moon Guns could make twenty-seven taels of silver. If one sold one million, Xu Xingxia would not be short of money.
It is said that the profit of arms business is higher than that of drugs. Xu Xingxia now deeply realized it. After tasting the sweetness from King Fu, he was determined to use Sun and Moon Ridge as the fist product of the White Army to push the whole world. King Fu's army will be equipped with Sun and Moon Ridge, and the Korean army will also be equipped with Sun and Moon Ridge. As time goes by, there will definitely be more other forces, all equipped with this epoch-making weapon of great power.
The killing effect of Sun and Moon Sharp is much stronger than that of ordinary muskets. With the general equipment of Sun and Moon Sharp, the casualties in battle will definitely continue to rise. In the Warring States Period, it was already a great thing to die in a battle of one thousand people. However, after the Sun and Moon Sharp was equipped, the two armies shot at each other, and three or five thousand people, or even ten thousand people, were killed in one battle. That was absolutely normal.
When village chiefs fight, that's also a fight, isn't it? Only when more people die and the deeper the hatred is, the arms business of the White-Clothed Army will be sold better. The final result of the war is that major forces flock to the White-Clothed Army to order muskets. Their casualties in the battle will become increasingly greater. In other words, the population resources of their own country will be greatly consumed.
Xu Xingxia even considered the overseas arms business. The power of Western muskets is not as powerful as the Sun and Moon Guns. He wanted to sell a large number of Sun and Moon Ordinances to Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and Europe. The competition among the Western powers has always been very fierce, but unfortunately there was no deadly weapon, which made them consume a large amount of population within. The Sun and Moon Guns just met their needs. After being equipped with the Sun and Moon Guns, all of them were slacks, such as the longbows of England, the French breastplate cavalry, and the Gustav phalanx.
In the European battlefield, fighting around, it looks very fierce, but in fact the casualties are very small. They are all because the weapons are not powerful. They must be shot in a very short distance to achieve the killing effect. One or two thousand people died in one battle, which is already a big battle. However, during World War I, when the weapons are powerful, the casualties immediately became larger. In the Battle of the Somme, tens of thousands of people were killed in one day. The blood of the Europeans was almost gone.
Xu Xingxia had to find a way to make European countries continue to bleed from now on. The more their bloodshed, the more beneficial it would be to Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia also had a dirty idea, that is, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and other countries would kill themselves and seize colonies everywhere?
Let the Sun and Moon Guns open the way for you! The more wealth you grab, the more spoils you will seize after the White Army takes away you.
Of course, it is also very necessary to equip some Sun and Moon guns for free to those forces friendly to the white-clothed military. For example, the Chinese in the Nanyang region. As long as they are willing to accept them, Xu Xingxia can give them a batch of Sun and Moon regimes to enhance their combat effectiveness and allow them to gain a better foothold in the Nanyang region. Speaking of which, there are Chinese people in the Nanyang region. This will be very beneficial to the advancement of the White-clothed Navy in the future.
Sure enough, I heard that I could buy a large number of firearms from the White Army without any mortgage, and Li Erzhan's heart suddenly became active. North Korea urgently needed weapons, so he increased the order quantity of 30,000 without hesitation. In this way, North Korea bought 40,000 Sun and Moon guns, plus the supporting ammunition, with a total value of more than 1.8 million taels of silver. North Korea will pay 300,000 taels in advance, and the remaining one will be paid in ten years.
Xu Xingxia promised that all weapons and equipment would be delivered to the North Koreans within three months. This made Li Erzhan feel even more satisfied. In order to show his sincerity,
Li Erzhan also promised that the first payment would be delivered to the White Army within a month. At that time, he would also give Xu Xingxia some mysterious gifts on behalf of the Kingdom of Korea. Of course, if you say it through now, it would not be mysterious.
