[Chapter 818 The Role of Used Goods]

“Also, in order to prevent the worst from happening, we must make preparations from now on, let the arsenal try our best to imitate guns, and of course, steamships.” After thinking about it, Ashley added said a word.

William and Nohan looked at each other, and William said with a smile: “Your Majesty, although the situation is very bad this time, we, Britain, will win the final victory as before. There is no need to be so nervous.”

“Yes, according to Bo According to Walter, the king of Yan should have been lucky enough to get the help of a genius in the West. The steam industry established in just a few years is far inferior to ours. When a powerful country rises, they will definitely follow us,” Nuohan said.

Then, he shrugged, “Even if some countries are unwilling, we can unite with other countries to put pressure on them so that the entire Western Earth

can be consistent on this issue.” “I’m not nervous, these decisions are just doing my best .” This queen’s duty.” Ashley shook her head.

Although Britain is now a constitutional monarchy and the queen’s powers are somewhat limited, the constitution still allows her to make many important decisions.

For example, the parliament is dissolved, the cabinet is dismissed, the cabinet is appointed, a state of emergency is implemented, the army is urgently mobilized, and a state of war is declared.

So, the queen is still effectively the head of Britain.

Even every prime minister is rushing to be her private secretary.

After discussing this matter, Ashley asked William to go to the parliament to announce his decision.

Nohan returned to his office, took a steamship to Frank, and started his own visit.

…

Great ode.

At the same time as the Western Earth was in turmoil, Zhao Xu’s orders were also heading to Zhongling Pass and Jian Pass.

After receiving the order, Chang Wei left Lu Changbu behind, and went south with Qinshan and Guantong to Jinling.

And Ma Han led his soldiers to Zhongling Pass to join Lu Chang.

According to the order, they will wait for a period of time at Zhongling Pass, and wait for the people transporting grain and grass from Jingzhou to arrive before setting off.

In this way, once Jiamengguan is captured, they can store grain and grass in Jiamengguan, and then they can live in Jiamengguan and overlook Yizhou, and then take the next step according to the order.

“Have the Dongying slaves and Koreans set off yet?”

Zhao Xu’s eyes were fixed in the direction of Yizhou in the Wangfu study.

After deciding to fight on two fronts, he has been thinking about how to win Yizhou in the most economical way.

Obviously, with the in-depth involvement of the Britons and Russians, the clans are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Due to an accident in the Battle of Jinling, they were able to seize a large amount of food, grass and wealth, but they were not so lucky in Zhongling Pass and Jian Pass.

Both Ashur and Xiao Cheng did the same thing, which was to burn the food and grass.

Undoubtedly, this was to clear the ground and prevent him from getting supplies in the war.

In this way, as long as the clan can last long enough, every time he fights, he will lose money in business, the bigger the loss, the more the war will eventually become a burden on Jiangbei, so that it will affect Jiangbei’s development.

It has to be said that the idea that the natives of the West gave to the powerful people is indeed cruel.

Right now, if it wasn’t for the sake of unification, he really wouldn’t want to fight this bad battle.

But he couldn’t help but fight.

In this way, we can only choose the lesser of the two and fight in the most economical way.

Therefore, under consideration, he decided to send the captured Dongying slaves and conscripted Koreans to Jingzhou to transport grain and grass.

This time, the Qin Army and Lu Chang have a total of 80,000 people, and 80,000 people can be transferred, so that the impact on railway laying and mines will not be too great.

The most important thing is that there is no need to toss the people of Jingzhou. At most, some food will be consumed for the Japanese slaves and Koreans to eat.

“Returning to Your Highness, we have already set off. Because the Yanjing Line was opened to traffic, the Koreans and Dongying slaves who were repairing the railway happened to be able to be dispatched.” Yang Feng said.

Chang Wei is in charge of fighting, and he is in charge of logistics.

For the matter of food and grass, Zhao Xu naturally turned to Yang Feng.

“Well, apart from food and grass, don’t forget about the deployment of Qin-style rifles. Half of the Wangfu’s army and Qin-style rifles have been deployed, and the rest will be given priority to the Ningjin Army and the Marine Corps. It’s going to come to this king.” Zhao Xu said.

“Yang Zhen dares, but the general will have to skin him.” Yang Feng stared.

Then he thought of something, and said, “Your Highness, it’s a pity to replace the rifled muzzle. Could it just be rusted in the warehouse?”

“Of course not,” Zhao Xu said.

In the production of Qin-style rifles, the ammunition consumed in the war is all silver.

How could he let the muzzle-loading rifles eat ashes in the warehouse.

Although for Jiangbei’s army, front-loading rifles are a thing of the past.

But take it out, these muskets are top-level muskets, and it is not a problem to exchange them for money, food and grass.

So he said: “You go to Dong An, and go to the Ryukyu Guild Hall, Koryo Guild Hall and Dongying Guild Hall with him. They should be able to eat this batch of eliminated muskets.

” Song’s envoy is stationed.

Among them, the Koryo guild hall was the envoy sent by the king of Koryo. The Dongying guild hall was no longer the former Dongying guild hall, but the Hojo family, the Ono family and other four northern guild halls. There were four in total.

The Ryukyu Hall is the residence of the Ryukyu envoys.

The existence of these guild halls is to facilitate communication with the palace.

“Your Highness will understand what you mean, but the old minister thinks it’s all right to sell this front-loading gun to Ryukyu, and I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to sell it to Koreans and Dongying people.” Yang Feng frowned when he heard this.

Zhao Xu smiled, and said, “I know what you are worried about, but your worries are unnecessary.”

After a pause, he continued: “First of all, the great power of this front-loading gun in our hands is inseparable from the yellow gunpowder, which is impossible for them to manufacture. We only sell muskets, not yellow gunpowder. That’s enough, and besides, hand-polishing tapered bullets is time-consuming and laborious, and they may not be able to mass-produce them.”

Yang Feng thought for a while and nodded slowly.

Zhao Xu said again: “Remember to sell each musket for eighty taels of silver.”

“This is necessary.” Yang Feng suddenly became happy.

The cost of these front-loading guns is only about fifteen taels of silver, and selling for eighty taels is definitely a big profit.

Having said this, Yang Feng turned and left.

After Yang Feng’s figure disappeared, Zhao Xu made some calculations.

The number of muskets eliminated this time is huge.

Even if Goryeo and other countries can’t come up with money, he can make a lot of money by exchanging things.

In this way, the loss of the southward war can be made up to some extent.

Just as he was thinking, he notified Tsui Hark of his arrival.

“Your Highness, I bring good news to Your Highness.” As soon as he entered the study, a smile appeared on Tsui Hark’s face.

Due to the urgency of the situation during this time, his face has always been sad.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu had slight expectations.
