The grassland nation is actually not a tribe formed by blood. As long as a tribe becomes stronger, countless tribes will claim to be a tribe. Just like when the Huns gradually became stronger under the reform of Maodun Shanyu, the entire grassland almost all were named as the Huns.

Later, the Xiongnu declined and the Xianbei rose. On the grassland, more than 100 large and small tribes of Xianbei were established, including the Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei, Duan Xianbei, Tufa Xianbei, etc. The decline of the Xianbei occurred, and the Turks rose. From the Tumen Khan to the Turkic Khanate, and then the Jieli Khan, in just fifty or sixty years, the Turks became a powerful empire with a land span of thousands of miles and a control of millions.

The same is true for Jiannu now. The four Jurchens in Haixi, many of which are Mongolians. Without warriors to be captured, they have also formed a habit.

This is actually not too important, what is important is to have equipment and war horses.

Huang Taiji said excitedly: "What Fan Qing said is that Liu Mingyu's whole body was filled with evil spirits. He had a young foundation, built an iron army, and created an extremely powerful cannon. He was simply the nemesis of my big gold! If he had great ambitions, I was afraid that Ben Khan... Fortunately, through this transaction, Ben Khan could see his quality clearly. He was just a martial artist, brave but not wise, greedy for money and lust. Such a person is certainly a headache, but he can't accomplish anything in the end!"

Fan Wencheng said deeply: "The Khan is wise, and Liu Ming is just a person like Ying Bu and Peng Yue when he meets others. King Khan really took him too seriously before."

Huang Taiji laughed. In the Battle of Kuanhe, the Jin army really made the Ming army's cannons blow up. As soon as the Ming army shot, they broke up their men and horses. The tragic situation of flesh and blood flying and internal organs was thrown around. I don't know how many surviving Jin warriors became the nightmare of many surviving Jin warriors.

Abatai, Mangourtai, Haoge and others were still scared of the tragic situation when they were bombarded, especially Haoge, who was trembling with his hands. It can be seen that the terrifying shelling had already cast a psychological shadow on him.

Huang Taiji was also very worried. How could he fight this battle with the infantry formation of the Liu family army, which was as moving as thunder and quiet as mountains, and the sharp weapons, strong armor, and such amazing power?

However, Huang Taiji is worthy of being a hero of a generation. His long-term vision and quick thinking are far beyond the reach of people. After he came back from that huge blow, the first thing he did was to let the Shanxi merchants who were dependent on the Jin Dynasty try to investigate the secrets of the Liu family army and the Tianxiong army. He learned that the Liu family army had no military pay and had no weapons to build by themselves. Not only did he equip a well-trained army, he also made a fortune!

The Liu family army is different from the Tianxiong Army. The Tianxiong Army, like the Guanning Army, all rely on the Ming court, weapons, armor and military pay. Those Ming ministers who failed to succeed were able to restrain the Tianxiong Army. However, the Liu family army was completely different. The Ming court had very little influence on the Liu family army and could almost be ignored.

More importantly, the arsenals, artillery factories, musket factories, gunpowder factories, armor factories, and weapons factories established by the Liu family army had already formed a scale, with strong armor, sharp spears, broken swords, and a large number of crossbows. This was a completely independent army. Huang Taiji found a way to purchase a large amount of Liu family army's equipment at that time and analyzed the weaknesses of Liu family army from the equipment.

In his opinion, the reason why the Liu family's artillery is so powerful is that it is because of its strong armor and sharp artillery. As long as these armors and equipment are used to study them slowly, Dajin can produce the same armor and weapons. With Jiannu's riding skills and courage, the Liu family can be beaten to the point of urination.

He originally thought that he was sad to get such a military weapon that concerns the fate of the country, and he was also prepared for heavy bleeding. He never expected that the Shanxi merchants would succeed so easily. This made him more contempt for Liu Mingyu, an opponent he was afraid of: such a powerful weapon to control the country can also be rashly sold. It can be seen that this person is no different from the Ming generals who had dealt with him before, and his strength is limited!

"Let the Fan family continue to encounter a deal with Liu Ming and try to bribe him. If it really doesn't work, just find an opportunity to kill him!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and issued an order. He couldn't help but grit his teeth. There were too many Manchu warriors who died in Liu Mingyu's hands, and he even took advantage of Oboi and Shuotuo.

Fan Wencheng said: "Don't worry, King Khan, it's not difficult to deal with such a guy who is not well-informed and lustful. With the strength of the Fan family, it's too easy to win him over!"

As it turns out, he underestimated Liu Mingyu. This was a very terrible mistake. He underestimated no one could underestimate Liu Mingyu.

Just as Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji were muttering about how to plot against Liu Mingyu, Liu Mingyu was arguing with the guy Fan Yongdou who was a pseudonym Fan Jian.

"Mr. Fan Jian, you are a businessman, you must understand, you get what you pay for!"

Liu Mingyu asked Fan Jian's entourage to hold a spear.

Liu Mingyu pulled out the Pojian sword and began to pose. Fan Yongdou was stunned. He didn't know what he wanted to do, but he instinctively felt that nothing good happened.

It was a sudden moment, and then Liu Mingyu shouted loudly, and he slashed Huashan with force. The sword slashed down with the wind. With a crack, the long spear in the escort's hand made of mixed wood was cut off in one go!

Then there was the first, second, and third shots until the five-shot gun barrel was cut off. Fan Yongdou's heart felt like he was cut off by a knife, and it hurt so much. Five-shot gun barrels, although they were just gun barrels, were worth a lot of money.

Liu Mingyu gave Pojun sword to Fan Yong and said, "Mr. Fan Jian, look, has this knife ever been curled? If you hold this knife and face the enemy with a spear in your hand, do you still have to worry? One can cut one, one pair, and one pair. If you sell this knife to you thirty taels of silver, you won't lose at all!"

Fan Yong's lips trembled: "How many?"

"Thirty taels of silver?"

"Yes, who are we so accomplices?"

Liu Mingyu said seriously: "If you don't make a deal, benevolence and righteousness will be. If you sell it to others, you will definitely be thirty taels of silver. If you sell it to you, then it will be twenty-five taels. A knife will be five taels of silver. Five thousand taels of silver is twenty-five taels of silver! How about it, is it worth it?"

Fan Yongdou shook his head and said, "This is too expensive. Even a good Yanling sword cannot use twenty taels of silver..."

"Don't compare those rags with my knife!"

Liu Mingyu pointed to Yan Lingdao, who could only curl his blade if he could not cut a few times in the inventory and said, "Please take it!"

The entourage took the knife.

Liu Mingyu waved his hand and swept the same plan.

"Dang..."

The goose-feathered sword in Fan Yongdou's escort's hand broke in response to the sound.

Liu Mingyu laughed and said, "What's the use of this kind of broken sword? Not to mention being used to cut Jiannu, even the Mongols' cowhide armor can be cut open with one knife? Or you try it? This kind of sword can't cut through the iron armor of Jiannu's white armored soldiers at all, and even the iron armor of the red armored soldiers can't be cut, and can barely deal with the armorless soldiers. Now? I can cut five spears with one knife! You said, what's the use of this kind of knife that can't kill people!"

“Too expensive!”

Fan Yongdou shook his head and said, "Can you be cheaper?"

"Yes, each thirty taels of silver, do you like to buy it or not!"

Liu Mingyu stared at Fan Yongdou with malicious intentions and said, "You have wasted my marquis' friendship, speak carefully!"

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but slapped Liu Mingyu and threw away 25,000 taels of silver.

Liu Mingyu waved his hand and said, "Come here!"

Several personal guards came over with a large cart with bundles of spears on it.

Liu Mingyu's gun rod was more than three and a half meters long, and the total length of the gun tip and the gun bottle reached half a meter, which was four meters long. The most amazing thing is that its gun tip was not the common wheat-shaped shape, but a narrow sword shape, and a deep blood groove was opened, and the sharp blade was shining with a cold cold light.

Fan Yongdou shouted in a low voice: "This is a stair spear!"

Liu Mingyu picked up a spear and danced a beautiful spear: "This is a spear specially made by our Liu family army. It is a spear, both for infantry and cavalry. Of course, the cavalry is only two feet long, and the elasticity of the gun is better. A spear costs fifteen taels of silver!"

Fan Yongdou wanted to bargain, but when he thought of Liu Mingyu's unreasonable way, he was as big as a dou and said carefully: "Champion Hou, this is too expensive..."

"Tell you, what I do is a big business. Don't be embarrassed to come to me for three or five thousand,000,000,000 units. At least ten thousand units will start selling!"

So, Liu Mingyu sold 10,000 steel armor from Fan Yongdou, 450,000 taels of silver, plus 10,000 spears, 150,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 horizontal knives and 150,000 taels of silver.

A total of 750,000 taels of silver were sold. As for civilian products, Liu Mingyu was not too bad. He sold another 30,000 taels of silver with an iron pot.

So, Liu Mingyu added a lot of money in this guy's pocket, totaling 900,000 taels, and then sold Fan Yongdou 200,000 kilograms of low-carbon steel.

One of the major features of low carbon steel is its softness. It is okay to use it as screws, nuts and other parts. If you want to use it to make weapons, it is not impossible to use it. It is just that its performance is probably better than the bronze swords of the Qin Dynasty!

Of course, if Jiannu knew a series of processes such as quenching and carburizing of low carbon steel, the strength of this batch of low carbon steel could still be increased, but the cost... it would definitely make them cry in the toilet!

"Liu Jiajun is not responsible for delivery, you can organize a convoy to come and transport it!"

Liu Mingyu reminded: "There is no peace on the grassland recently. Do you need the Liu family army to be responsible for escorting? Of course, the escort fee is not low!"

"How much money is needed?"

"Each soldier costs five taels of silver a month, and the food and drink are calculated separately!"

"Well, our business has its own buddy!"

Fan Yongdou's biggest impression of Liu Mingyu is that he is too dark and greedy.

However, after achieving his goal, Fan Yongdou said goodbye happily, and Liu Mingyu, who also cheated a lot of money, also happily sent him out in person. The scenes of the two of them being in a state of anger will continue to happen in the future.

The prodigal businessman and the sucker are always a pair of good friends, and the relationship is forever.

Even for mild steel, Liu Mingyu's selling price is not low. One pound is two cents of silver, two hundred thousand pounds, not one hundred tons, and the price is forty thousand taels of silver.

With nearly one million taels of silver incurred, Liu Mingyu's financial crisis finally eased a little.

Before the formal delivery was made, Liu Mingyu directly called the commander of the Hunting Cavalry Regiment, the deputy commander Salibu, and the supervisor Fang Wenshan to the Liu Family Army headquarters.

"This is a big business. No matter what method you use, a knife or a spear cannot flow into Jiannu's hands!"

Liu Mingyu said very seriously: "If you have done it, you will get rewards, and if you have done it, you will lose it... military law will deal with it!"

"Make sure to complete the task!"

He Daqing, Fang Wenshan and Salibu had just left, and Liu Zongzhou hurriedly ran into Liu Mingyu's military headquarters.

"Hey, Lord Liu, you are..."

Liu Zongzhou looked at Liu Mingyu with a serious face and said, "Champion Hou, I heard that you traded a large number of steel and weapons for Shanxi merchants?"

Liu Mingyu said lightly: "That's right, 200,000 kilograms of mild steel..."

"No!"
Chapter completed!
