Daming Military Empire

Chapter 488 Bargaining
Gushi Khan is not an incompetent person. On the contrary, his literary and martial arts are quite outstanding. It can be said that he is the most outstanding leader in Wacha history.

When he took over as the leader of the various tribes of Oach, Oach was far less powerful than Tatar, not to mention the pitifully small territory, and faced the attack of the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, which was in danger.

In the face of this crisis, he showed extraordinary ability. As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he used the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to resolve the attack of the Mobei Mongolian tribes on the Wacha tribe;
Immediately afterwards, Batur Huntaiji of the Chogar Tribe defeated the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and occupied Yili Bali;

After that, he led the Oach tribes to fight everywhere, defeated the Kazakh Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate and the Blaha Khanate, and occupied most of the land in the Western Regions, making the Oach tribe flourish for a while.

By the way, how could such a majestic Khan listen to a general of Tsarist Russia messing around there? Doesn't he have any sense of judgment?
In fact, the main reason is that what Kopelov said earlier has no direct relationship with the Wacha Ministry. Whether Tsarist Russia provokes the Ming Empire, or the Anti-Habsburg Alliance wants to clean up the Ming Empire, that is all their own. The only thing Gushi Khan has to consider is how to benefit from it.

Therefore, despite Kopelov's nonsense, Gushi Khan didn't bother to think about it, but when he mentioned sending troops, he immediately concentrated on it, which was related to his own interests.

He also wanted to send troops to attack Daming, but this timing is very important. Of course, the best timing is to wait until Tsarist Russia and Daming are both defeated. Now, the two sides have not started desperately, so let him go. This, basically Difficult unless there is sufficient interest.

What should I order?Gushi Khan thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think about it for a while, so he simply opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, you just said that your allies provided food and weapons for you to send troops to deal with the Ming Empire." , Now, do you want our Wacha Department to deal with the Ming Empire, do you want to provide some food and weapons?"

When Kopelov heard this, he cursed the old fox inwardly. However, it was already very good to be able to fool him into sending troops. As for the food and weapons, we can talk about it slowly.

He put on a look of embarrassment, and said weakly: "Well, Khan, our allies are asking us to fight the Ming Empire, and we should provide food and weapons. But, now, we just want you to Go and distract the Ming Empire, this is not dangerous in the first place, and you can get a lot of things, so the food and weapons will be exempted?"

When Gushi Khan heard this, he was not happy. I can snatch a lot of things, but that's none of your business. As long as you fight, I can't go to grab it at any time. He said coldly: "Your Excellency, you say so That's not right, you also know that if I wait for you to fight before sending troops, the pressure I will bear will be much less, if I send troops ahead of time, I will definitely be targeted by the Ming Empire, how can there be no danger?"

Kopelov apologized and said with a smile: "Khan, you have said that the Ming Empire has 10 troops on the western front. You can at least organize an army of 40 to [-]. What danger can there be?"

Gushi Khan didn't answer and asked instead: "Didn't you say that the Ming Empire can also recruit soldiers? Now there are only 50 soldiers. Once recruited, [-] to [-] soldiers are possible!"

Kopelov smiled awkwardly, and quibbled: "Conscription takes time. Like ours, it takes at least three or four months from conscription, to drill, to entering the battlefield. It's just started, and the attention of the Ming Empire will definitely be focused there, so don't worry, Great Khan."

Gushi Khan shook his head and said: "It can't be said that, the Siberian Ming Empire will pay attention to it, but the Shaanxi Xingdu Division will probably pay more attention to it, because once the Shaanxi Xingdu Division is passed, it will be the Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Commissioner. Can the Ming Empire not pay attention to their last pass in the hinterland of the Central Plains?"

This old guy is not stupid at all. Kopelov rolled his eyes and said flatteringly: "It doesn't matter how important the Ming Empire is. They have a total of [-] regular legions in the west. With your ability, you can deal with them." It’s not easy to kill the [-] regular troops, so what if they recruit hundreds of thousands of recruits, Dahan, are you still afraid of those recruits?”

Gushi Khan still shook his head and said: "The regular army of the Ming Empire has muskets and artillery, and it is not so easy to clean them up."

Kopelov hurriedly said: "Actually, muskets and cannons are not that powerful. They may have an advantage against infantry, but they have no advantage against cavalry. Think about it, at the speed of cavalry, the time to rush to them, How many shots can they fire, and how many cannons can they fire?”

Now Gushi Khan is not so easy to fool around, he shook his head resolutely and said: "The lethality of the muskets and artillery is terrifying, even if they can't fire a few shots or fire a few shots, we will suffer heavy casualties, no way No, you must provide us with muskets and artillery, otherwise the casualties will be too great."

We can have guns, and we don’t have enough artillery. Kopelov pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, “We can provide you with some guns, but we can’t do anything with artillery. Provide the artillery."

Gushi Khan seemed to have turned into a rattle now, but he still shook his head and said: "No, it's too bad to have no artillery. This battle is not easy to fight."

Kopelov rolled his eyes and coaxed: "Khan, the artillery is actually not that scary. At most, the first round is a bit lethal, and the rest is basically for nothing."

Gushi Khan asked curiously: "Oh, how do you say it?"

Kopelovhu said: "We who have used artillery know that it is difficult to move artillery, so the landing points he hits are all fixed. After the first round, you will be able to see the landing point. Avoid the landing point, and the artillery is useless.”

Gushi Khan doubted: "Impossible? You said that the artillery is difficult to move, so how did you move the artillery to the city wall?"

This kind of question was a trap, and Kopelov continued to say: "Khan, you don't know how troublesome it is to move things that weigh hundreds of thousands of catties. It takes at least a day or two for a cannon to be moved up the city wall. It's easy for you to charge thousands of miles in a day or two, can the artillery hit thousands of miles?"

Gushi Khan really doesn't know much about artillery, he has never seen a moving artillery, since artillery is so useless, then let's ask for a gun, he opened his mouth and said: "That's okay, I don't want the artillery, the gun You need to provide more, at least [-], and the [-] regular troops of Ming Dynasty all have muskets."

Kopelov said in embarrassment: "Khan, I don't know if my 20 recruits will be able to equip the muskets a year ago. How about this, I will find a way to give you [-]."

Gushi Khan was overjoyed, he wanted 200 muskets, and Daming’s muskets were priced at 200 taels, and he didn’t sell them, so he made [-] million taels at once, which is really cool He continued to bargain: "How about [-], it's too little, and I can't fight with others, at least [-]."

Kopelov countered: "Actually, the muskets are not that powerful. You line up the musketeers in the middle, and the cavalry on both sides will kill the enemy in one go. Why do you need so many muskets? Let me think about it again." Find a way to give you [-] yuan."

Gushi Khan shook his head and said: "At least [-] will be needed, otherwise it will be too bad to fight."

Kopelov gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty thousand, I can only make so much."

Gushi Khan resolutely said: "[-], can't be less, if less, I will wait for you to fight."

Kopelov pretended to be desperate and said: "Khan, you are killing me. Well, [-] is [-]. I can only let [-] soldiers carry swords on their backs!"
