Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 86 The Scorched Earth Project
Those European merchants are back.

Bring back a lot of guns, artillery, and matching black powder that Lu Xiao needs.

Lu Xiao was also unambiguous, and he often scattered a lot of real money.However, during the payment process, Lu Xiao still played a careful game.When he inspected the goods, he graded the goods brought back by various merchants according to their quality.

Then pay different rewards according to the quality.

It is normal for the quality of goods to be good or bad.Therefore, there are naturally more or less accounts in the hands.This is a normal thing.But I see more in other people's pockets than in my own.Some people can't sit still.

That's how people are, and everyone earns less, so it doesn't matter.But if there are more and less people, it will cause waves.

The Englishman was upset because he was the one who earned the least.There is no way, who let him cheat and play tricks, although the firearms he got can be used.But still not brand new.Lu Xiao inspected the goods on the spot and only gave half the price.This made the British suddenly unable to hang their faces.

Seeing the golden gold, it entered someone else's pocket.It was worse than killing him.But there is no way, he has a general network in the UK, and he worked hard, but only got some second-hand goods.Fortunately, it is certain that it can be used, otherwise, he is really afraid that he will also be cut in half by that brutal imperial intelligence officer.

But it is absolutely impossible to earn less money.Especially when everyone earns more than him, there is a huge imbalance in the British psychology.He thought of some hints from Lu Xiao before he left last year.

What Lu Xiao really wants is a craftsman, a craftsman who can make these weapons, and technical drawings at the source level.As arms dealers, these Europeans are naturally not fools.For the sake of long-term interests, they obviously wouldn't bring these things to Lu Xiao easily.

Lu Xiao also set up a firearms research institute in Daming.They can now reproduce the original flintlock musket.However, the technology is immature and the quality of the steel is not good enough, making the firearm unable to enter mass production in a short period of time.Therefore, Lu Xiao was looking for opportunities in these Europeans.

Originally, he was a little disappointed in this transaction.Because these guys are just bringing the finished product.None intended to bring technology deals.

But that night, the British suddenly found him alone.

"Lu, I wish I could call you that."

"It depends on what you can bring to me. You know, I'm a very realistic person. Whoever can bring me more benefits can be my friend. It's a pity how you behaved today. It's just normal."

". I know. But I have something better here."

Lu Xiao suddenly became interested.

"Tell me!"

"I can get some craftsmen who make new muskets."

"Then what?" Lu Xiao didn't show much interest.This made the British look pale.

"And the supporting technology."

"I'm starting to get interested. When will I be able to see those things?"

".Lu, you have to know. If I do this kind of thing, I can't be in this industry. So, I need some guarantees."

"It's very simple, if you can do it. Then I guarantee that you don't need to do any work for the rest of your life. You can buy a manor anywhere in the world, and then you and your descendants can spend 100 years there. years of true aristocratic life."

Lu Xiao's conditions obviously moved the British people's hearts.He came to Lu Xiao, but he was just impulsive because of his unbalanced heart.But now, he is really tempted.

The flames of Liaodong are still burning.

That night, the fire that ignited not only burned [-]% of Huang Taiji's food and grass.Also burned is his ambition to go south this year.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also discovered a serious problem.That is, when his own food is not enough to eat, the Ming army who came to vote, the people in the city, he can't feed at all.

And it wasn't just him who thought about it.There are also some smart people in the Ming army who have thought of this problem.

"General, I'm afraid the situation is not good. Now all the food and grass have been burned. What will we eat in the future?"

The Ming army general glanced at the talking soldier.I didn't recognize who it was.But I should have seen it last night when the fire was put out.The firefighting day and night, all the teams have long been disrupted.

And the soldier was right.These Ming army generals know the virtues of those Tartars very well.These people take refuge with food and grass.The most is to survive.Most of the people in the city will be taken back to be slaves.

But now the food is gone, and the autumn harvest is still more than three months away.And the food in the city is probably not enough for a month.Since then, the situation has become a little more delicate.

It is absolutely impossible for Tartars to give their own rations to these Ming soldiers.But in the same way, it is absolutely impossible for these surrendered Ming troops to starve to death like this.After all, they still have guys in their hands.

Surrender is to not die.I'm starving now, what do you say?
The generals of the Ming army only felt that an invisible crisis had enveloped them.And at this time, the soldier said again.

"General, how many years have we been here in Liaodong? Don't you know the virtues of those Tartars. What they can't get. I'm afraid it won't end well?"

This sentence suddenly awakened the general.The reason why he didn't think about it in this regard was actually deceiving himself.After all, he surrendered. If he surrendered or died, it would not appear that his previous decision was wrong.But now, after someone pointed it out, he couldn't help but think a little more.

He knew now that it wasn't just Shenyang's grain that was burned.In the surrounding cities controlled by the Tartars, the food suffered the same misfortune.This is clearly a plan from the Daming side.And this plan seems to be a conspiracy.In fact, it is conspiracy.

The Tartars, the Ming army, and the people of Liaodong are all here.But there is not enough food.There are two possibilities.One is that the Tartars forcibly raised their troops and continued to go south to loot more food.The other one is.
Just as my thoughts came here, a cry for help suddenly came from not far away.

"My lord, help, my lord!!! The Tartars are going to kill us!!!"

Everyone got up to watch, and saw a Ming army soldier covered in blood running over.He had three arrows stuck in his back and was covered in blood.There was also a group of Tartars chasing after him.

"My lord, my lord, help, the Tartars are going to kill people!!"

This shout made the group of Ming soldiers nervous on the spot.They all looked at the general in unison.At this time, the other party was also desperate.

"There is not enough food and grass, and Tartar is afraid that we will not be able to accommodate us. Brothers, let's fight with them!!!"
