The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Wait a minute, don't kill this person in a hurry." A second lieutenant of the Qin Army said while looking at a trembling survivor of the Dawan tribe.

A commercial armed force attacked here. The entire tribe suffered a heavy blow. Many men in the tribe were killed, and many of the remaining elderly and children were also killed. All the women were captured, and all the supplies that could be taken away were exhausted.

Possibly taken away.

"Okay." A Qin armed member who was already aiming to pull the trigger slowly put down his gun.

"Sir, this man won't be of much use if you keep him." A sergeant nearby said as he put the pistol in his hand back into its holster.

"I remember that you know some words from people from the Western Regions. You can ask him. I want to know the situation." The second lieutenant looked at the other person and said.

"But, sir, if they don't understand." The sergeant looked at the ensign worriedly.

"Then kill him. Such a loser is of no use to us," the second lieutenant said.

"Okay, sir," the sergeant said.

The sergeant asked the other party in a Western language. When the other party looked at the sergeant blankly, the second lieutenant looked at the situation of the two people.

Seeing no response from the other party, the sergeant asked again in another Western language. When the situation was still the same as before, the other party was a little confused and looked at him extremely nervously.

"Kill him." The second lieutenant said impatiently.

"Let me try again." At this time, the sergeant asked again. Because there are several countries in the Western Region, there is a common language among the countries, but the Qin army rarely knows how to use some specific languages.

The sergeant tried all his words, but the other person was still confused and confused.

"Huh." The second lieutenant completely lost his patience.

"Kill him." the second lieutenant said.

"Bang." There was a crisp gunshot. The sergeant drew his gun and killed the opponent.

"Trash." the second lieutenant said, looking at the other party's body.

"Sir, we can't get any accurate information at all. Western dialect doesn't work here." The sergeant said to the second lieutenant worriedly.

"We don't understand what they say at all," the second lieutenant said.

"Damn it. This place is so unfamiliar to us. We don't even understand what the other party means." The second lieutenant said worriedly.

"The superiors asked us to come to Dawan Country. We should enter Dawan Country to understand, but we cannot rely on us to see. We also have to listen to understand the other party's intentions." The second lieutenant said.

"Sir, or the language problem, it will be solved later, but now we need to solve the problem here." the sergeant said.

At this time, the second lieutenant looked towards a haystack behind the sergeant. He felt that there was someone inside. His alertness told him that there was a big problem with this haystack.

"Wait a minute." The second lieutenant raised the pistol in his hand and said.

"Come out." The lieutenant shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang." The second lieutenant fired two shots at the haystack. At this time, the sergeant quickly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the haystack.

"Damn it. Set fire to them." An armed member who was passing by came over with a torch. Then he lit the haystack directly. There were many people setting fire around. At this time, he ran out of the haystack.

Come alone.

The man who ran out shouted loudly in words that the second lieutenant could not understand. The second lieutenant had already pointed the pistol in his hand at the opponent's vitals.

"Wait, sir, wait. This man is speaking Western dialect." At this time, the sergeant shouted loudly.

"!@##￥". The man kept shouting loudly. When the second lieutenant heard this, he released his finger that was about to pull the trigger.

"What do you mean?" the second lieutenant asked the sergeant at this time.

"He said don't kill me. Don't kill me. That's probably what he meant," the sergeant said.

"Oh. Tell him to shut up, or I will kill him." The second lieutenant said somewhat impatiently.

The sergeant quickly told the other party what he had said. The other party raised his hands and nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he gradually became quiet.

"Ask about the situation here and tell us everything he knows. If he can't explain clearly." As he said that, the second lieutenant pointed the pistol in his hand at the other party. The other party understood clearly, and then started talking sentence by sentence, some

If the sergeant didn't understand, it was mainly because the Western Region dialect was a bit difficult to understand. He could only communicate repeatedly and use the words the sergeant knew to explain the situation. It took about an afternoon for the commercial armed forces to rest on the spot.

"Are you asking to explain the situation?" the second lieutenant asked the sergeant.

"Sir, this man is from the Western Region. He escaped from Northern Xinjiang and was later captured by the Dawan people. He became a slave. Here, he did what he could," said the sergeant.

"Yes." The second lieutenant nodded.

"What else does he know?" the second lieutenant asked at this time.

"He knows that this is a tribe in the Dawan Kingdom. There are many people in this tribe. He vaguely heard that there is a city deep in the grassland to the northwest of our place. It is a town in the Dawan Kingdom. The population there is

Lots of them," said the sergeant.

"Others. Are there others?" the second lieutenant asked.

"No more. That's all he knows. He's just a slave." The sergeant said.

"But he knows some Dawan people's language, which can bring us great translation convenience." The sergeant continued.

"Well. Well, let's keep this person. If he can accurately mark the specific location of the Dawan people's city, I will consider giving him some benefits. If not, I will lose him. Let him understand

My own situation." The second lieutenant continued.

"I've told him this. Let him take care of himself," the sergeant said.

"Well, the Qin State currently doesn't know much about Dawan, but our commercial armed forces have already invaded. This is how we conquered the Western Region before. But now we are conquering a larger Western Region." said the second lieutenant.

"Sir, our current intelligence is not enough to understand the entire Dawan Kingdom. If this continues, our situation will be too unfavorable." The sergeant said to the second lieutenant.

"I know this, but we can only do this to change the situation. But today we have a translator, and with this translator we can do a lot of things." The second lieutenant said to the sergeant.

In southern Xinjiang, in a wine shop opened by people from the Qin State.

"When I rushed in, I saw a man from the Western Regions and two women from the Western Regions. As soon as I entered, I shot the man without hesitation. The two women screamed on the spot. As soon as I saw it...

I discovered that those two women are actually mother and daughter." A lieutenant colonel officer of the Qin Army said excitedly. The lieutenant colonel officer took a sip of wine.

"What happened next, sir?" some officers and soldiers present said excitedly.

"Then, of course, the next thing is comfortable. A mother and daughter. The older one goes inside and feels comfortable. The younger one is tight." The lieutenant colonel officer said excitedly. And the people present heard this.

.all yelled with excitement. Life in the military camp was extremely boring, and with no one to replace the defense for a long time, the morale of the soldiers was very low. The only way to boost morale was to tell some erotic jokes to liven up the atmosphere. It took a long time

Yes, some officers enjoyed it.

Just when the officer was preaching about his experience, a Qin businessman came in with a Western businessman. The Western businessman obviously understood what the Qin people said, and he knew what the Qin people meant. Because he often did business with the Qin people and understood the Qin people.

Only by speaking Chinese can you do business well. What the lieutenant colonel said was based on the suffering of people from the Western Regions. This is a hotel where people from the Qin State gather, and no Westerners will come here at all. But the Westerners still feel uncomfortable.

"Sir. Sir." The Qin businessman came to see the Lieutenant Colonel of the Qin Army.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Lieutenant Colonel Qin Jun said to the other party while taking a sip of wine. The lieutenant colonel was a little displeased, and was obviously a little annoyed that the other party was disturbing his interest.

"Sir, it was Major Barrett who asked me to come to you. This is his letter of introduction." The Qin businessman took out a letter and handed it to the lieutenant colonel. The lieutenant colonel looked at the other person and then took it.

Check the letter.

The letter was written by the lieutenant colonel's friend Major Barrett. The letter told him that a businessman from Qin and a businessman from the Western Regions came to him, and told him that these two people would provide important latest information about the Yuezhi people. This information

Very important to the Qin State.

"Well, this is not the place to talk. Follow me." The lieutenant colonel put away the letter, and then waved to the two people to follow him. The lieutenant colonel felt different based on the content of the letter.

Soon the two people followed the lieutenant colonel to a conference room at the Southern Xinjiang headquarters. The security outside was very strict.

"Drink tea." The lieutenant colonel ordered his soldiers to bring three cups of tea. The lieutenant colonel picked up one cup and drank it. He felt that his head was a little heavy. This was because of drinking. He now needed tea to make his body feel better.

Keep your mind clear.

"My name is Chen Zhong. I am a staff officer here." the lieutenant colonel introduced.

"Drink tea." Chen Zhong said to the two.

"How do you know Major Barrett?" the lieutenant colonel asked curiously.

"We are businessmen. Major Barrett is responsible for the defense of our area. We got to know Major Barrett because of our business." Qin Guoren said.

"What is your business?" the lieutenant colonel asked at this time.

"This." The Qin merchant looked at the lieutenant colonel.

"Don't worry, I can say nothing." The lieutenant colonel persuaded the other party.

"Okay, sir, I, we are in the arms business, because we need a large number of muskets and shells for smuggling. These things are profitable businesses for us, but these things are covered by federal law in detail.

export license, but the military has no right to verify these things. Therefore, we got to know Major Barrett." The Qin businessman explained. Chen Zhong nodded and expressed his understanding.

Explanation. He knew very well that in some areas on the border, especially in areas with special defenses, such things often happened. Here in the Western Regions, the arms smuggling business is the most profitable business. Those Western Regions people always want to use the Qin people's powerful things to make money elsewhere.

There was a lot of money, and the people of Qin had a large number of cheap muskets, and these muskets gave the people of the Western Regions a very powerful impression, so the people of the Western Regions liked this kind of weapon very much.

Where there is demand, there is supply. As a result, the arms business has expanded. A large number of arms dealers sell their weapons exclusively to these people in the Western Regions. However, most of the arms dealers lack formal certificates, which require approval from the Ministry of National Defense.

, and there are a lot of factory serial numbers to fill in, and the registration procedures are extremely cumbersome. This is Xiaowangzhou. No one is willing to spend a lot of time filling in these things. The correct way is to put the gun

Transporting them privately is precisely because it is illegal. These businessmen like to bribe the border officers. The border officers also hope to have some income. In this way, the businessmen and the officers got to know each other. Chen Zhong discovered this very early

Something happened. But he found that no one reported it. Later he found out that everyone knew about such a thing, so if no one reported it, everyone would be in trouble and die.

"What is this businessman from the Western Regions doing here?" Chen Zhong asked.

"He is my partner." The Qin businessman explained.

"Brit told me that you have important information to tell me. If the information is useful to us, we will give you a big reward." Chen Zhong said.

"Yes. Yes." said the Qin merchant.

"Come on. Tell him what you saw and heard." The Qin merchants said to the Western Regions merchants. The Western Regions merchants were a little nervous.

"It's okay, tell me. If what you said is useful, I think we will give you some rewards." Chen Zhong said while drinking tea.

The Western Region businessman looked at Lieutenant Colonel Qin Jun and felt a little nervous. Although his businessman was beside him, he was still a little nervous.

"Have a cup of tea." The Qin merchant said.

"Drink tea. Drink tea." Chen Zhong signaled. As he spoke, the Qin merchant put the teacup in the hands of the three people from the Western Regions. The Western Regions merchant looked at Chen Zhong nervously. After about seven or eight minutes, the Western Regions merchant calmed down.

Come down.

Chen Zhong waited patiently. After drinking two cups of tea, his drunkenness slowly subsided.

"I am, I am in the arms business. I bought a large number of muskets from you to buy Yuezhi and Wusun people from the plateau." The businessman from the Western Regions said. Chen Zhong nodded.

"The business of muskets can suddenly become popular. Not only do we people in the Western Regions need muskets, but these Yuezhi people and Wusun people also need muskets, and they need a lot of them. It's just that there were very few at the beginning, but now there are many, and they are big

They buy from us in bulk, and they use gold when trading with us. It’s just that we don’t know where the gold comes from. But they do use gold to trade.” The merchant from the Western Region emphasized.

Agent Chen Zhong nodded and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

"I imported some artillery recently. This artillery is very powerful. After it was launched, it shocked many people. Those people needed a lot of artillery, so I imported a large number of artillery from Qin to buy them. However, the price of these artillery is very high.

It’s expensive, and the transaction requires a lot of capital,” said a businessman from the Western Regions.

"Therefore, I decided to sell them separately because I was afraid of being ambushed by them, which would be very disadvantageous to me." The merchant from the Western Regions said that after selling a large number of muskets to the other party, the other party needed another kind of power.

Larger weapons, such weapons are artillery, but the asking price of artillery is very high, and the amount of gold required is also very huge. These are prices that ordinary people cannot afford.

Therefore, the objects of transactions are generally specific.

"That's it. One of our business teams was ambushed by the other party. Fortunately, our losses were not very big. Later I found someone to investigate this matter. It turned out that their gold had been exhausted, so they had to

Using the method of robbery, and I learned one thing, their background may be in the military." The businessman from the Western Regions said. Hearing this, Chen Zhong frowned. If this matter is true, then the problem is

It's getting more serious.

"Do you know what they want these artillery pieces for?" Chen Zhong asked at this time.

"Well, one thing I learned is that they want to develop southward, because this kind of weapon is very powerful. There is a country in the south that has powerful weapons made of elephants. Very few people can defeat those elephant troops." This businessman from the Western Regions

When it comes to time.

"But muskets and terrible artillery can pose a great threat to those elephants. So they want to buy a lot of artillery from us, but they are so hateful. They want to take away the artillery in my hands.

, I want to get help from the Qin government to teach these ignorant Yuezhi and Wusun people a lesson." The merchant from the Western Regions said angrily.

"You mean, they bought muskets not to deal with us, but to develop southward?" Chen Zhong asked at this time.

"Yes. That's it. I have changed my business partners. Business in Parthia is much better than theirs." At this time, the businessman from the Western Regions said.

"Yes." Chen Zhong nodded.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Zhong asked the Qin merchant at this time.

"No more. This is what he wants to say. I also got this news from him." The Qin businessman said.

"Do you want help from the people of Qin?" Chen Zhong asked at this time.

"Yes. We very much need the Qin people to teach those Yuezhi and Wusun people a lesson." said the merchant from the Western Regions.

"Well, you continue to do your business. We need to evaluate how much this news will affect us. We also hope that you can continue to provide relevant information. If necessary, I think we may take some measures." Chen

mentioned in.

Then Chen Zhong sent the other party away. Chen Zhong quickly ran to the staff department. He was in charge of intelligence collection at the staff department. Recently, he had gotten too much information from these businessmen. But a lot of the information was not of much significance.

Useful, at that time, merchants from the Western Regions brought an important message.

"You are saying that the artillery we sold has already reached the hands of the Yuezhi and Wusun people who fled to the western plateau. However, these Yuezhi and Wusun people did not dare to fight us, so they chose to attack south

." Chen Zhong said after analyzing the information he obtained.

"What do you mean?" the chief of staff asked Chen Zhong.

"My idea is that these Wusun and Yuezhi people may launch a military operation. The Western Regions have suffered a lot from doing business with these people. If we can do business with them in the name of Qin, I will

If I think, we can get greater benefits. In addition, I

We can send a military observation team to carry out diplomatic activities. Understand the situation. Anyway, these people are not beating us Qin people. We have beaten them painfully. The important thing is that we want to understand the trends in other areas. Especially in the south and south areas.

What is it?" Chen Zhong said.

"Yeah." The chief of staff thought for a while.

"This question is very important, and it is also a very important piece of information." The chief of staff thought for a while and said.

"Well. Please sort it out and report it to the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense. Maybe they want to see such a report." The chief of staff said to Chen Zhong.

"Yes, sir." Chen Zhong nodded excitedly. He knew that if the superiors paid attention to this situation, there would be new trends in the Western Region.

The report was quickly sent to Xianyang of Qin State.

"This report is very interesting, but it is not of great significance to us. The Qin army is currently on the defensive and it is impossible to send troops to this place." Wang Jian said after reading it.

"If it is given to the Ministry of National Defense." Yang Duanhe looked at Wang Jian.

"They are useful, but they are of no use to us." Wang Jian said.

"The Prime Minister's Office has been emphasizing the development of the Western Regions, developing the Western Regions, and opening up the market in the Western Regions. I think that now arms and weapons are sold to these people, and these people do not dare to fight with us Qin people, so they can only develop towards the south. There are people in the south.

We really don’t know what kind of place it is. I think it’s possible to develop in that direction, so that we can develop in that direction when we are free,” Wang Jian said.

"Give it to the Ministry of National Defense and see how they do it," Wang Jian said.

"Well, this is easy to handle." Yang Duanhe said.

Within the Ministry of Defense.

"I think it is necessary to discuss the recent situation with the Prime Minister." Wei Liao said.

"Well, I also think that the recent intelligence is very complicated. Many situations are intertwined with politics, diplomacy, and military. If these issues cannot be properly handled, it will be difficult to determine the specific security situation in these areas.

The direction of the situation will cause great harm to our next actions." Meng Tian said worriedly.

"Well, I just don't know what the Prime Minister would think." Wei Liao said.

"Well. Specifically, I think I'd better let him take a look. The Prime Minister's election campaign has been relatively frequent recently. If the military's problems can be solved well, I think the Prime Minister also hopes to get the support of the military. If it can be alleviated as much as possible

The military issue will be very beneficial to the Prime Minister's election." Meng Tian suggested.

"Yes. I think it will work. That's it. First sort out this report and hand it to the Prime Minister. Let the Prime Minister calmly think about countermeasures. Then discuss with us a good strategy to solve this problem. We must not only consider the Qin State.

Domestically, we must also consider Qin’s main areas in the future.” Wei Liao said.

"Well, just do it." Meng Tian said.
