Chapter 1202 Selling Arms
The war against Japan is a military issue, and military affairs are discussed with the General Staff, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Finance.

The diplomatic isolation of Siam is a diplomatic and espionage issue, which should be discussed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Blackwater and the Ministry of Finance.

Call them to the Qianqing Palace to discuss these matters with them, and then take care of the meals at noon and night. If the discussion is too late, you can take care of a supper. , is not a rare thing for Xiao Ruxun.

We must pay attention to the war against Japan and the operation in Siam. Xiao Ruxun has organized two leadership teams, each performing their own duties. He only needs to grasp the course on major issues, and really does not spend much time on these two things. .

Because he has countless minions who will do their best for him (power), and will never stop dying.

The main reason is that some domestic affairs consumed a lot of his energy, such as the land reform and the handling of Southwest chieftains, as well as Xu Guangqi's locust control process, and the process of education reform. These are the things that really consume his energy.

The leadership team in these matters also has little experience, and they are following Xiao Ruxun's thinking. Maybe they will be more proficient the second time and the third time, but right now, everything depends on Xiao Ruxun's own control and overall planning.

When he gives an order, someone will implement it. If the order is wrong, it will have a great impact.

Xiao Ruxun had no choice but to move forward trembling like walking on thin ice.

Compared with these major events, it is not a big deal to clean up Na Ruixuan and deal with Japan.

Ma Wei is not a freelancer. Immediately after receiving Xiao Ruxun's order, he set off for Tianjin Wei Port and organized a swearing-in meeting. Xiao Ruxun arrived in person to participate in the swearing-in meeting, and then watched the army set sail and head for Japan to start operations.

At this moment, even if the Japanese intelligence spies knew the news, it would be too late.

They returned to the country and told Toyotomi and Tokugawa, who were fighting fiercely, whether they believed it or not. How to join forces to fight is also a problem. Two of Xiao Ruxun's three-way attacks were aimed at the heads of Toyotomi and Tokugawa. And go.

The army sets sail, and the attack will inevitably be launched within 20 days. In 20 days, after removing the distance and the time-consuming verification of information, how long is the reaction time left for Toyotomi and Tokugawa?
Unless Japanese spies broke into the Daqin government and learned of Xiao Ruxun's plan, until Daqin set sail, even if they saw Daqin gathering troops, they would not know what Daqin was going to do or where he was going.

Anyone who approaches the army assembly point during the war will be closely monitored by Heishui, and if there is any doubt, he will be taken down immediately. Life and death are irrelevant, and he will not bear any responsibility. The emperor will take the blame.

As for the spies breaking into the government...

Then Heishui and Heizhen can no longer exist, Zhang Wu and Zhou Yao can both die, really, so useless, what's the use?
It can't be used to handle affairs, and it also wastes money.

Government funding is very valuable.

Zhang Wu and Zhou Yao are Xiao Ruxun's minions, the sharpest, most vicious and merciless minions.

They are lonely ministers, lonely ministers who have no one to rely on except Xiao Ruxun, they will do whatever Xiao Ruxun asks them to do, and if they can't do it, they should die.

Therefore, since the day when the army set sail, the outcome of this war has been doomed. Since Xiao Ruxun decided to take the Nanyang vassal states together to clean up Siam, the life of Siam King Na Ruixuan has also entered the countdown.

A Siam full of wars and wars is undoubtedly what Xiao Ruxun would like to see.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun is also willing to sell some crooked melons and jujube-like weapons produced in the previous Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, looking at those old weapons, Xiao Ruxun was really helpless.

Use it, it’s not easy to use, it’s very different from Daqin’s standard weapons, and the army refuses to use them.

Then Xiao Ruxun decided to give it to the peasant association for free, so that the peasants' armed forces organized by the peasant association and the recruits who were training could use it.

At first, I didn’t expect Xiao Ruxun, who was selling arms, to be worried, but the North Koreans posted it, saying that domestic arms production had come to a standstill, and it was difficult to recover for the time being. The army needed weapons, and I hope Daqin’s father could provide some support.

This suddenly opened up Xiao Ruxun's thinking, and immediately thought of selling arms as an excellent way to earn extra money, so he gave North Korea a batch of old-style weapons for free for them to try out. Support a little.

Xiao Ruxun proposed the method of buying with money or exchanging with things.

Li Yan has no money, but North Korea has resources.

So North Korea decided to exchange resources with Daqin for weapons to use. At the same time, it also asked Daqin for the purchase of artillery, bird guns and other firearms.

Xiao Ruxun was happy, and immediately decided to sell some weapons that the Qin army did not use now, such as bird guns and cannons produced in the former Ming Dynasty, to North Korea, and let them exchange resources.

This is also a kind of waste utilization in a sense, and it is used very well. Some iron ore and other metal ores are exchanged for these wastes, and more and more sophisticated weapons and equipment can be manufactured. It is indeed a profit.

After that, the Mo family who occupied Gaoping did not know where to find out about the arms trade between Daqin and North Korea. He felt that he also needed some Daqin firearms to strengthen his force and stabilize his own existence, so he made a request for arms trade to Daqin.

Same, no money, but resources can be exchanged, they decided to use timber and coal resources to exchange arms and weapons with Daqin.

Xiao Ruxun also agreed.

Now the Ruan family couldn't sit still, but they didn't dare to protest against Da Qin, because they had already recognized Mo's status, and going back on their promises would only arouse Da Qin's dislike, so they also put forward a request to buy arms.

You have no money, we have, we buy more, what do you do?

After Xiao Ruxun defeated the Spaniards and captured Luzon, he incorporated the Portuguese artillery factory in Macau and almost all the Portuguese into Burma, and then basically cut off the way for Southeast Asian countries to independently develop firearms.

Although there are still a few countries such as Siam that can produce by themselves, but the quantity is small, the quality is not high, and the price is expensive, so it is not popular.

Some people have sought to buy firearms, but Xiao Ruxun thought that the high-quality firearms he made should not be lost abroad, so as not to pose a threat, so he refused. Now that there are so many old firearms in his hands that he can't deal with, why don't he sell them and wait for them to rust and be discarded? ?
After North Korea and Daqin began to trade, Xiao Ruxun readily agreed to Mo and Zheng's requests, and began to clean up the stockpiles of old-style weapons from the pre-Ming Dynasty in exchange for resources and direct funds.

The Zheng family is richer than the Mo family, and ordered a lot of firearms from Daqin, some of which were bought directly with cash, and the rest were exchanged with spices, wood and other items.

It doesn't make much money, but it is indeed an extra piece that can fill the treasury.
