The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Shang Wen fully accepted the news brought back by Wei Liao. The Qin army once again issued recruitment orders to a small number of nomadic tribes and mountain people living in the mountains in most areas of the north. This may also be a way for them to survive. After all, their

Life is too poor. If you become a soldier, you can live a better life, and they can accept this choice.

The territory of the Yuezhi people outside the Western Region of Qin State. The Yuezhi people are still half tribe and half country. Their country once unified the country, but it was relatively scattered. The situation is still the same now.

"What have you Yuezhi people been doing recently? Why have you gathered so many troops?" Meng Dong asked curiously. Meng Dong is a lieutenant of the Qin Army, and his job is to be an observer of the Qin Army. In fact, they are here just to observe, and some

At that time, they were also responsible for training some Yuezhi people on how to use firearms and providing some reference for tactics. This allowed them to see more of the Yuezhi people.

"Oh, this matter. We are gathering the forces that our tribe can muster to attack the indigenous tribes and cities in the south." Wei Dou explained with a smile. Wei Dou was a friend of Meng Dong after he came here.

He is not sure what the Yuezhi nobleman's real name is because his name is ambiguous, but he regards learning from Qin and getting closer to the Central Plains as his goal.

Rong, for this reason he also gave himself a Central Plains name, Wei Dou. Because Wei is a Central Plains country, this means that his name is very orthodox. Dou is a measuring instrument with a very different meaning, so he named it

He got such a name. And he was proud to speak Qin dialect, and his tribe was also actively learning the Central Plains civilization. This also allowed them to have no communication barriers.

"South?" Meng Dong was a little surprised. He didn't know why he wanted to attack the south.

"Oh. Speaking of which, your Qin army asked us to do this, but you asked us to attack the Parthian Kingdom in the west, but you also know our capabilities." Wei Dou said with a smile.

"We can't defeat the other party at all, and the other party's military strength is so strong that we can't attack them at all. Moreover, we Yuezhi people have difficulty in being in such a mountainous area. This area is what you call the Maurya Dynasty, but we accept

What you call the Maurya Dynasty." Wei Dou said with a smile.

"Oh. So, are you going to the south to attack the Maurya Dynasty?" At this time, Meng Dong asked tentatively.

"Yes." Wei Dou nodded and admitted.

"The purpose of this trip is to harass and rob. Only in this way can we Yuezhi people survive." Wei Dou said to Meng Dong.

"We are no better than you Qin people." Wei Dou said.

"I admit that you Qin people are very powerful. It is precisely for this reason that we are willing to cooperate with you Qin people and have the firearms that you Qin people are good at. With these firearms, we can deal with the Maurya Dynasty in the south." Wei Dou said.

.

"Hmm." Meng Dong still doesn't know what the upper echelons of the Qin military think about it. After all, this place is relatively isolated and full of mountainous areas. It is for this reason that the Yuezhi people can settle down here, because it is mountainous and inconvenient to travel to the south.

The Mauryan Dynasty's attacks, coupled with the firearms purchased from the Qin State, are enough advantages for them to maintain their current situation, but the survival problem of the Yuezhi people is still huge.

In Meng Dong's view, the Yuezhi people simply cannot survive in such an environment because it is so mountainous. Food is a big problem, followed closely by the problem of population growth of the Yuezhi people. Although the Yuezhi people can pass

Some of them gained part of the profits from trade with Qin. They maintained trade with Parthia to survive, but recently I don’t know what factors made it difficult for them to continue trade with Parthia.

"Our trade with Parthia can no longer be sustained," Wei Dou said to Meng Dong.

"Why?" Meng Dong also wanted to know the specific reason.

"The reason is that Parthia imposes heavy taxes on us, and this tax is far beyond our ability to bear." Wei Dou said.

"Our profit margins have suddenly been reduced a lot. We can't do anything about it. You know, our situation is also very bad. I hate these Parthian people. They are not on the advantageous side in trade, so they try to find ways to

They target us in terms of taxation, and not only that, they also rob our caravans, and we can no longer sustain it," Wei Dou said.

"Why don't you attack them? We, the Qin State, would have done this a long time ago." Meng Dong said angrily.

"No, we Yuezhi people are different from you Qin people. You Qin people can't tolerate such anger, but we can't." Wei Dou said helplessly with a smile.

"You Qin people ask us to engage in slave trade. This may be the only way for us Yuezhi people to survive." Wei Dou continued.

"To deal with the Parthians in the west, we think we can't defeat them. After all, we are not strong enough. Even with the help of the Qin people and the advantage of firearms, we cannot undertake such a large combat mission. But against the Maurya Dynasty in the south, I think we still have

Advantageous, after all, their military strength is very weak. For us, they are very easy to fight, and their large population can just make up for the advantage in population. Your Qin country also needs a large slave population, right?" Wei Douxiao

asked.

"Yeah. That's right." Meng Dong nodded in agreement.

"Qin State does need a large number of people. For example, there are many farms and pastures." Meng Dong has not returned to Qin State for a long time. He did not know how much Qin State has changed. He thought that these people were mainly used for agriculture. For

The railway didn't think much about it.

"Oh. So that's it." Wei Dou nodded at this time. He also wondered why the people of Qin needed so many slaves. It turned out to be agricultural needs.

"However, I have a request." Meng Dong said at this time.

"Oh. I don't know what kind of request Brother Meng has. As long as I can agree to it, I will definitely agree." Wei Dou said at this time.

"It's very simple. I just want to go with you and see how you conquer the Mauryan Dynasty in the south." Meng Dong continued.

"Oh. This is a request. If you don't tell me, I also hope to get Brother Meng's support, because with you, Brother Meng, my personnel can expand rapidly. Now I can't ask for more, and I can't ask for more." Wei Dou said happily.

arrive.

"Okay. I'll go with you right now." Meng Dong said with a smile.
