Chapter 165 Immortal Weapon Production Book, Can't Let Zhang Feicai See It
Li Shou laughed and said, "The imperial court destroyed the Black Pig Tribe, merged with the Northern Mang Tribe, and fled deep into the grassland."
Taoist Master Youran also laughed.
Li Shou, the King of Mobei, said again:
"In addition, I have good news for you, Taoist Priest. The leader of the Northern Mang Wolf Tribe, Adamu, the Northern Mang State Master, was attacked by the Marquis Wu'an of our Great Zhou and the newly promoted Grandmaster General Manager. He has been seriously injured and has retreated back to the grassland!"
This time Taoist Youran laughed even more happily.
The fact that the Grandmaster of Beimang was seriously injured was indeed good news for the martial arts world of the Great Zhou.
The shaman knights were welcomed by Mobei.
The King of Mobei not only gave them the treasures he had promised, but also set aside a piece of grassland for their residence.
The Shaman Knights discussed it and decided to head south!
Life in the Far North is hard anyway, it’s better to be hired by these people from the Great Zhou to fight!
Unexpectedly, I ran into Yang Zhen who had just arrived in Mobei.
Yang Zhen was also unlucky. He had managed to gather a thousand people in Kyoto and bring them to Western Xinjiang.
Originally everyone thought that the imperial court wanted to manage the western border well.
However, when they heard that His Majesty had appointed Yang Zhen, a low-ranking fellow in Chajing, as the new Protector General of Western Xinjiang, they all felt that His Majesty did not attach much importance to Western Xinjiang.
Although he could get the military pay approved by Li Tian, Yang Zhen worked hard to promote in Kyoto for a long time and finally only managed to gather a thousand people.
These were basically his old team members in Youwuwei.
With no other options, Yang Zhen could only continue on his journey, hoping to gather manpower in Luzhou or Mobei.
I didn’t expect that no one in Luzhou would be willing to go to Xinjiang.
Now Luzhou's trade is very prosperous.
Luzhou produces coal, and the demand for coal is huge whether it is used for steam engines or blast furnace ironmaking.
The coal mines in Luzhou were dug out bloody mines underground with the flesh and blood of Northern Mang captives and Dai Yue slaves.
In addition to coal mines, canned food and wool have also become popular products in Luzhou.
At the same time, Luzhou was also selling tea, grain, porcelain, etc. to Mobei and Lanlu Kingdom.
In Yang Zhen's opinion, Luzhou's prosperity is no less than that of Yuhang.
Luzhou also drove the prosperity of several surrounding states and counties.
Because of Luzhou's prosperity, people of Luzhou are even less willing to go to the distant western border to join the army.
Poor Yang Zhen, after arriving in Mobei Kingdom, he still couldn't recruit anyone.
Originally, the population of Mobei was small, but now all industries in Mobei are thriving, and as long as you have hands and feet, you will not starve to death.
If you dare to take risks and work hard, you can make a fortune!
Today’s good life has made those canal workers who were exiled to Mobei forget the past and are actively building their homes.
Yang Zhen encountered repeated setbacks and had no choice but to ask for an audience with the King of Mobei.
"General, are you going to recruit people to go to the Western Frontier?"
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty sent me to manage the Western Frontier, but I really can't recruit any men!"
King Mobei smiled and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has already issued the military funds, right?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said:
"Your Majesty also allocated 150,000 taels of gold from the inner treasury, allowing me to recruit troops on my own."
“I didn’t expect it to be so difficult!”
This time, King Mobei smiled and said, "General, I have a solution!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
The King of Mobei stroked his beard and said, "General, have you ever heard of the Cosaman?"
"They are the mercenaries brought back by Taoist Youran. They are very brave."
"They can survive in the far north and are very good fighters."
“As long as they are paid, they will fight for their employers.”
"You just need to pay the money and let these Koshamans go with you."
Can you do this?
Yang Zhen was also dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lun, who was accompanying him, said:
"Mercenaries? This kind of team is very common in Western Xinjiang. I didn't expect to see it in the Great Zhou."
Zhang Lun said:
"General, I've said before that in the eyes of the barbarians in the Western Frontier, there is only profit, not country."
"There are some tribes in Western Xinjiang that are full of mercenaries. They will help fight as long as they are paid."
"And it's not just in the Western Frontier. Mercenaries are also very common in Botan and Turkey."
"I heard that in the farther west, Westerners would hire people to fight for their gods. It seems to be called the Crusades."
This opened Yang Zhen's eyes.
I didn't expect mercenaries to be a normal phenomenon.
But I have no other choice.
Li Tian gave two thousand heads, and now he has only gathered one thousand people.
Yang Zhen had no choice but to go to the Geshaman's pasture and summon them to go to Xinjiang to fight.
I didn't expect that this group of shamans were so willing.
When they heard that they could go to Xinjiang to fight, they all became excited.
Yang Zhen discovered that these Coshamans were free and undisciplined.
However, they have lived on horseback since childhood, are very skilled in riding and shooting, and have excellent physical fitness.
Yang Zhen was very satisfied and gathered a thousand people from the Cosaman tribe.
Next, Yang Zhen began to purchase specialty products in Mobei, intending to establish diplomatic relations with various countries in Western Xinjiang along the way and send them as gifts.
The market in Mobei is really prosperous.
Specialties from all over the world can be seen in the market.
Yang Zhen even saw some fine silk.
Yang Zhen bought a luxury item and finally purchased a batch of the most important "specialties" in Mobei.
This specialty is the fire gun!
The imperial court issued an edict prohibiting the use of guns against the people of the Great Zhou.
So all the military factories moved to the border areas.
There was an arsenal of the Ministry of Industry in Mobei that specialized in manufacturing muskets.
Yang Zhen purchased two thousand muskets and equipped all the soldiers with them.
Then they bought camels and horses in Mobei and started crossing the vast desert with the goods.
Finally, the day of settlement has arrived.
[This month's national fortune is being settled! 】
[National fortune points at the beginning of this month: 8 points! ]
[National Fortune Points at the end of this month: 7 points! ]
【Projects to be settled:】
【Beijing-Luzhou Railway: Completed! 】
[Stabilizing Daiyue: In Progress! ]
[Tip: This month's national fortune has not dropped below the lowest national fortune, so the "Record of Destruction" cannot be improved! ]
[This month's national fortune is reduced, unlock the reward: Tengyunsan! Random immortal weapon production book! ]
[Tengyunsan: A drug that can make you fly into the clouds after taking it! ]
[Random Immortal Weapon Production Book: A manual for refining weapons that can randomly produce immortal weapons! ]
After this month's hard work, I finally saw the rewards.
Li Tian nodded with satisfaction.
But what is the reward this time?
Tengyunsan, a drug that can make you fly in the clouds after taking it?
What on earth is this thing good for?
Soaring in the clouds and driving in the fog?
It doesn't sound fun.
Li Tian is such a life-conscious person that he is not very interested in flying in the clouds.
Random Immortal Weapon Production Book, this is a strange and bizarre guide to refining weapons.
But the above content seems unreliable?
What a top steam engine.
What a top-notch super artillery.
Is this thing really a magical weapon?
Li Tian immediately put the manual aside.
We can’t let that guy Zhang Yingchai see this book!
Li Tian hid the manual in the imperial study.
The credit for June’s great performance mainly goes to Huang Xiao!
This is my good teammate!
