The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

"Mr. Vincent, the performance of the new rifles provided by your company is very good! Regarding the price, do you think it can be lowered a little bit?"

At a shooting range in Annan Tokyo City (Hanoi), a Le DPR official smiled shyly while stuffing a thick stack of Long Yuan into the hand of the "senior Dutch East India Company" in front of him.

"No, no, no! Dear Mr. Ruan, our new rifle is not only complicated in workmanship, but the new material used in the barrel is extremely expensive. The price of 40 dragon yuan a piece is already the lowest price!

Even the batch of defective products we sold to the Qing people cost 40 dragon yuan each. This batch of rifles are better made and the materials are more expensive. If we sell them to you for 40 dragon yuan each, you have already made a profit! "

Vincent righteously pushed down the stack of one-yuan dragon coins in his hand, denied the possibility of a price reduction without hesitation, and made an expression like I was losing money.

If the Li Chao officials had not known the cost of the rifle, they might have been fooled by Vincent's superb acting skills, but the key is that he knew!

With the spread of Mini rifle technology, many countries and regions in the surrounding areas of Southeast Asia have begun to manufacture and equip such rifles, and the Li Dynasty is also trying to imitate them.

However, due to technical limitations, Li Chao encountered the same problem as Manqing, and then they got stuck here.

Although they are stuck in the bottleneck of not being able to unify the calibers, they almost know the approximate cost of a single rifle!

This rifle, which cost only about ten taels of silver a piece, was now being offered for 40 dragon yuan a piece. Wasn't it clear that they were going to be taken advantage of and slaughtered?

Why!I really just want to kill you as if you were taken advantage of.

In the past, the Dutch slaughtered Nanxi as a pig, but now that the Ming Dynasty has followed suit and slaughtered the unfilial son Annan as a pig, what's the problem?

That's right, Vincent who shouted out 40 dragon yuan for a rifle was not a real senior member of the Dutch East India Company, but a lieutenant colonel officer in the Ming Dynasty Foreign Legion.

When Zhu Heyi got married, Li Chao refused to participate and chose the Qing Dynasty, which put Li Chao on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty.

Under such a relationship between the two countries, it would be unreasonable for Ming Dynasty to sell arms to Li Dynasty.

In addition, there is currently a wave of people selling arms in Guangnan Kingdom in the south, and Ming has to take care of this little brother's mood.

Of course, the most important point is that Ming will never sell arms to both warring parties!

Therefore, to sell arms to the Le Dynasty, you must borrow the Dutch's vest.

The "Dutch" in front of the Lichao official showed no sign of relenting, and he couldn't help but curse the Dutch's greed in his heart.

But does Li Chao have any other options now?

According to reliable information, the trash from the Guangnan Kingdom in the south have embraced the Ming Dynasty and have now begun to purchase weapons from the Ming Dynasty.

With the lifelong relationship between Li Dynasty and Guangnan Kingdom, once the other party obtains advanced weapons but we do not, it is self-evident what the fate of Li Dynasty will be.

And that's not the most important thing.

Because at this moment, a large group of Qing troops from the north crossed the border and entered the Li Dynasty!

These people burned, killed and looted wantonly in the border areas, and their border defenders collapsed when faced with the Qing army!

God knows why those Qing troops who were turned into dogs by the Ming army were able to easily defeat their border defenders!

Now Guangnan in the south is strengthening its military equipment, and a group of deadly Qing troops have appeared in the north!

Under such a situation, the Li Dynasty is really in dire straits. Now that the Dutch are willing to sell them new rifles, they have no choice but to hold on to this life-saving straw. They have no choice!

However, compared to the wealthy Qing Dynasty, the Li Dynasty was really a poor man. A rifle of 40 dragon yuan could be purchased at will by stupid people with more money, but the officials of the Li Dynasty did not dare to do so.

Therefore, the price was quickly reported to Emperor Li Dui of the Li Dynasty.

"The greedy Dutch! The barbaric and untrustworthy Barbarian Tatars! Damn the Ming people! The abominable Guangnan waste!"

Li Wei blushed and scolded several countries. He was so angry that he even smashed several pieces of precious porcelain that his ancestors had obtained from the Central Plains Dynasty on the floor.

He now only feels that every country in the world is against him, the Li Dynasty, and the sky in the Li Dynasty seems to have turned gray!

But after thinking about it, I found that the starting point of all this seemed to be when he refused to attend the Ming Emperor's wedding...

Why!Why did he blindly choose Manqing in the first place?

Why are those Barbarian and Qing Tatars such useless people? The Eight Banners and Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were not said to be invincible, but why were they beaten to death when they met Ming people?

What's even more irritating is that you, the Qing Tatars, can't defeat the Ming army, so how can you bully our Li Dynasty!You are the sovereign state in name only!

There are also border defenders who spend a lot of money but can't even defeat the Qing army...

There are also the Dutch and Guangnan people who are taking advantage of the situation...

Li Weiqiao, who was full of negative energy, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, because he wanted to die.

But you can’t die!

There is no way to enjoy happiness after death!He is the emperor!

……

"Sir, is the price of 40 dragon yuan set by His Majesty a little too expensive? Those Li Dynasty people look like poor people at first glance. Can they afford it?"

"Dutch East India Company" settled down, a young white man asked Vincent in front of him in broken Chinese accent.

"Wells, speak Dutch! We are Dutch now!"

"Sorry, sir!"

The young white man quickly changed his mind, and Vincent could only shake his head slightly.

Young people today!Fortunately, the Li Dynasty people did not doubt their identity.

"Although the Li family thief is poor, under the current situation, he still has to buy our rifles even if he sells iron!

In my opinion, 40 dragon yuan for a mini rifle is not only not expensive, but also too cheap. However, His Majesty has to consider the overall situation, so he can only sell it at such a cheap price. But in the end, everything will belong to me, Ming Dynasty! "

The tone of Lieutenant Colonel Vincent's words had completely brought him to the Ming side, but this was taken for granted in the eyes of everyone present.

Because not long ago, Vincent not only received the Ming Warrior Medal personally awarded by His Majesty Emperor Yun of the Ming Dynasty, but also obtained the status of an "honorable citizen" of the Ming Empire.

You know, there are very few white people who have obtained Ming nationality. There are only a dozen or twenty people in the entire empire, and Vincent is one of them!

On that day, when Emperor Zhu Da personally awarded Vincent a medal and announced that he had obtained the status of an "honorable citizen" of the Ming Empire, the middle-aged man in his 40s burst into tears with excitement.

Under the bright flag, Vincent solemnly took an oath, swearing to fight for the rise of Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life!

As one of the first members to join the Ming Dynasty’s Foreign Legion, Vincent followed the Ming Dynasty step by step.

I have witnessed with my own eyes that the Ming Dynasty has grown from a few hundred people to a huge empire with a land area of ​​millions of square kilometers and a population of tens of millions.

This was like a miraculous rise. Vincent personally participated in it. Although the process was difficult and many people died on the road, he persisted until the end and was recognized for his contribution.

Because of this, his admiration for Emperor Zhu Da and his strong sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty even exceeded that of many common people in the recovered areas!

"Sir, the Li Dynasty just sent someone to say that they have agreed to a transaction price of 40 dragon yuan for a rifle! We are now invited to discuss in detail."

At this moment, an "entourage" ran in from the door and said with a happy face.

Hearing this, Vincent nodded calmly.

"Let's go, gentlemen, let's see how much money this Li family thief can pocket."
