Chapter 690 Overlord Clause

The five provinces and prefectures in the Northeast Road where Li Jing governed were not all in the northeast. Li Jing first started in Dengzhou, then occupied southern Liaoning, then turned to Ziqing, and later obtained Pingzhou in Hebei. Several areas were scattered around the Liaohai Sea. Last year, they captured western Liaoning and defeated Goguryeo, Liaodong and western Liaoning were connected and connected together. Daxingtai was established, and the capital was also located in Liaoyang City on the bank of the Liao River. The Shandong Province at the eastern end of Henan became a sea-crossing enclave under the Daxingtai.

The four provinces of Liaodong, western Liaoning, Andong and Beiping are connected together, and can only be connected by sea to Shandong Province. Although Northeast Road is now well-developed, there are countless passenger ships and merchant ships every day, which is very convenient. However, there are still times of inconvenience across the Liao Sea.

The Liaohai freezing period in winter, which lasts from two to three months every year, is the time when the transportation between Shandong Province and the other four provinces of Daxingtai is the most inconvenient. Dengzhou Port, Duli Port, Shirenwang, these three major ports will freeze, and the Jishui estuary and the Yellow River estuary will also freeze. The only transportation can only depend on the three unfreezing ports under the Daxing platform, Laizhou Qingdao Port, Jinzhou Qingni Port, and Qinhuangdao Port in Heping Prefecture.

Although there are three major unfreezing ports, winter routes are extremely inconvenient and the risks are increased.

Da Weiying knew that it was difficult to travel at sea and that Hebei was blocked by land by rebels, so he simply used this as an excuse to stay and not leave. He could not reach an agreement with Li Jing, so why would he be willing to go back? Unfortunately, he had never had the chance to be summoned by Li Jing alone. He had heard some news that Li Jing was about to lead his army to the Central Plains to reinforce Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. If he could not see Li Jing again, he might not have a chance in a short time.

In the end, I had to use a stupid method. I would go to the Prince's Mansion with a shameless gift every day. I went there for a day, guarding the Li Mansion and waiting for Li Jing to go home.

But for several days in succession, he was so familiar with the Li family that he even figured out the names of the managers, but he didn't even see Li Jing's figure.

Da Weiying couldn't close his eyes for several days and nights, and was worried about gains and losses. He wanted to ask Li Jing's whereabouts directly, but he understood that this was also secret. After discussing with Da Weiying, he knew that the current difficulties faced by Bohai Kingdom would be difficult to deal with. This time, Bohai Kingdom was really in trouble. When he came to his senses, he immediately cooked and cooked a lot of exquisite food and went to the Tianlang Hall in Dengzhou City. Although Li Jing now set up the Daxingtai in Liaoyang, it was still preserved here as Li Jing's temporary shogunate when he was in Dengzhou.

Li Jing, who stayed in Tianlang Hall for several days and discussed with the staff, was still a little surprised when he saw Da Yue'er coming. When he saw the food she cooked, he was very happy. He smiled and brought Jing Xiang and other civil servants and generals to eat together. Da Yue'er was waiting in the wing room on the side, but he didn't know how to say this. Although she was the princess of Bohai Kingdom, she is now Li Jing's seventh lady, and she also knew that her husband had never liked the women in the backyard interfering in the outside. In the past, the third lady had been scolded several times.

Fortunately, after eating this rare delicacy, Li Jing took the initiative to ask about her.

"Is it for the Bohai Kingdom?"

After being told by Li Jing, Dayue'er felt unspeakable embarrassment, as if she had done something very unbearable on her husband's back and was knocked out.

Looking at Da Yue'er's flushed face and stuttering and not knowing how to speak, Li Jing smiled. Da Yue'er came to him for the matter of Bohai. This is nothing. Even if an ordinary family has something to do with her, she will definitely ask her husband for help as soon as possible.

In fact, the affairs of the Bohai Kingdom are also very important to Li Jing, especially when he is going to send troops to the Central Plains, Li Jing hopes to have a stable neighbor. At this stage, Li Jing's goal in the Northeast is to stabilize himself, and then attack the Khitan and continue to naturalize Xi and Wu. The Bohai Sea was not Li Jing's first goal, nor is it now. It's just that Li Jing has been busy with various preparations for sending troops these days, and he just can't take care of the Bohai Sea for a while.

Now that Da Yue'er has come forward to mention it, Li Jing smiled and said, "You tell the prince later and let him come over and talk in detail."

Li Jing did not send someone to notify Da Weiying directly, but asked Da Yue'er to tell him, which was also to let the Bohai Kingdom bear Da Yue'er's love.

After seeing off Da Yue'er who was full of joy, Li Jing immediately returned to the festival hall.

Bohai didn't have many requests. As early as when Da Weiying arrived in Liaodong last year to pay homage to Li Jing, he made a request.

They hope to reiterate the peace agreement with Li Jing and to re-determine the current border division between the two sides. Secondly, the Bohai Kingdom is preparing to submit a military purchase case to Li Jing, which is quite large. Thirdly, the Bohai Kingdom also wants to borrow a military force from the town to go to Huaiyuan Mansion and Anyuan Mansion on the border with Heishui Moshi to assist in the war.

"There is no problem with the requirements for military purchases. We have changed our clothes since last year. In addition to some of the armoured troops, the replaced armour is also piled in the arsenal. What's more, our armour workshop produces a large number of armor and weapons every year, which are originally for sale." Li Rang, the Minister of Revenue and the political affairs officer, agreed to the sale of armour to the Bohai Sea. The armour transaction has always been a major output under Li Jing.

"Although Bohai is not our goal now, in the long-term strategy, if we pacify Khitan, Xi, Wu and others, we will eventually fight Bohai. Is it appropriate to sell weapons to them now?" Guo Chengan, the direct leader of the Ordnance Workshop, and the Minister of Works, and the political participation in politics, said with some concern. Although Bohai is not an enemy now, it will still be hostile in the future.

The staff officer Jing Xiang smiled and said, "I don't think it's okay. The Bohai seems powerful now, but it's actually weak. A small black water marsh can't resist them. We were defeated by 80,000 troops at the beginning. Now we are going to send troops to the Central Plains. The Bohai Kingdom is more stable and is more beneficial to us than chaos. Besides, it is just some eliminated old-style weapons, and even if it is given to them, there will be no big problems."

If the Bohai Kingdom is very strong, like the Khitan and Xi tribe, it would be a threat to Li Jing and others. But with the current Bohai situation, everyone is not worried about it. The Bohai Sea has long been rotten, and like the Tang Dynasty court, it is strong inside and dominates the middle. The Zhenzhang has a lot of weapons in his hands, and the seized from the Bohai people, Goguryeo people, and Khitan people are already quite amazing. What's more, Daxingtai has just completed the dressing change. There are also a large number of eliminated weapons.

After Da Weiying heard from Da Yue'er that Li Jing was about to see him, he came hurried along the way and was very excited on the way.

Li Jing looked at Da Weiying, who was sweating in the cold weather, and said with a smile on his face: "We have been very busy all this time. We have been considering the previous request from the prince. Today we have discussed the results."

Da Weiying stared at Li Jing, looking forward to Li Jing's answer.

"First of all, the king has decided to agree to sell it to Bohai. I wonder how much the prince needs?"

"We want as much as we have." Da Weiying blurted out.

Li Jing laughed, "Your Highness the Prince, please tell me an accurate number. I have a lot of weapons in my hand, with at least 200,000 sets of weapons in stock. Don't you all want to eat them?" When the Bohai people were defeated, they sent about 100,000 sets of weapons to Li Jing, and destroyed Goguryeo. There were almost the same numbers before and after. When they fought against the Khitan and Lu Long's army, they also gained a lot. They also changed their clothes. In addition, they were produced in their own ordnance workshops, Li Jing can now be said to be the largest arms dealer in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Da Weiying was shocked when he heard the 200,000 sets of numbers. If it were possible, he wanted to eat this batch of weapons in one bite, but he also knew that this was not realistic.

After frowning for a long time, Da Weiying said, "I hope to buy 10,000 sets of iron armor, 20,000 leather armor, 50,000 spears, 50,000 horizontal swords, 50,000 iron helmets, 20,000 bows, 20,000 arrows, 10,000 single crossbows, 1,000 Fuyuan crossbows, 20,000 crossbow arrows. 5,000 iron shields, 10,000 leather shields, and 10,000 horse sabers." After thinking about it, he added, "I also want to buy divine fire, 3,000 heavenly fires."

When Li Jing heard this list, he smiled.

He shook his head gently and said, "Did you want all these?"

"Everything is needed!"

"Then you know that although these ordnances are not all brand new, they are definitely not cheap."

Hearing this, Da Weiying was stunned. Indeed, weapons are cheap, not to mention that even if they are old, since they are bought from Li Jing, they must be more expensive than buying new ones. After all, weapons are strategic materials, and sometimes, even if you have money, others will not sell them.

"I only accept one hundred stakes for a set of iron armor. A set of leather armor will collect you sixty stakes, a spear will collect you two stakes, a horizontal knife will collect you five stakes, an iron helmet will collect you two stakes, a bow will collect you ten stakes, an arrow will cost two cents, a single soldier crossbow will collect you twenty stakes, a stake will collect you thirty stakes, a stake of leather shield will collect you twenty stakes, an iron shield will collect you twenty stakes, and a Fuyuan crossbow will collect you three hundred stakes. Prince, this is for the sake of Dayue'er, his own friendship ex-factory price."

Just these simple OnePlus has been worth four million yuan. What's more, things like Tianhuo and Divine Fire must be more expensive.

Four million trump cards are not a small number for the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom can definitely take out this money, and the key is how to pay.

Li Jing smiled at Da Weiying and said, "Actually, we are all a family. Let's do this. These four million weapons, plus I will give you the Tianhuo and Divine Fire worth one million coins. Together, I will count five million coins. I won't charge you any more."

When Da Weiying heard the words "Not charging money", he didn't believe it.

Sure enough, Li Jing smiled and said, "In addition, I can also send my North Korean army and Goguryeo army a total of 10,000 troops to support you in fighting against the Black Water Team. How about it?"

There is no good thing about the pie in the sky, and Da Weiying is not stupid. Li Jing is not really so generous, he doesn't have such a big face.

"Then what reward do you need us?"

Li Jing kindly took Da Weiying's hand and walked aside, where there was a large map spread out.

"What we mean is that these five million stale weapons are not worth money, but that you will not charge your money for the time being, and you can deliver them in installments. We don't need gold, silver, money and silk. Bohai Kingdom can pay this weapons within three years in the future, with slaves, cattle and horses and other materials as payment. Of course, for such a large amount of money, we also have to collect some deposit. I have already decided, and Bohai Kingdom will cede the Yalu Mansion and the Nanhai Mansion to us."

Li Jing said with a smile, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Da Weiying looked at the map and was stunned. The Yalu Mansion had been cut off from Hengzhou and other places by Li Jing, and more than half of it was removed. Now Li Jing's intention was to ced all the Yalu Mansion and Nanhai Mansion to Li Jing. In this way, both sides of the Yalu River were completely Li Jing's.

"Brother, these weapons are very few. A few days ago, the Black Water Department sent someone to buy weapons from us, but they offered a very high price."

Da Weiying was shocked.

Li Jing continued, "Besides, we are very sincere. Not only have we rejected the Black Water Department, but now we have brought out such a large number of weapons and also provided you with ten thousand troops to support you. Think about it, if you lose to the Black Water Department, most of the Bohai Sea will probably not be guaranteed. With our arms and soldiers, defeating the Bohai Sea is probably not a problem. Maybe you can take the opportunity to enter the Black Water Department and conquer them. Just calculate, which result is better?"

"This matter is serious, I can't take the initiative?" Da Weiying said in a difficult situation.

"Your Highness, when you come, the King of Bohai seems to have given you full power. Besides, Bohai Kingdom can't wait now. You don't want it. After a long time of struggle, after you get our weapons and horses to support you, the Black Water Department has entered the Longquan Mansion of Shangjing, right?"

After hesitating for a long time, the prince of Bohai Kingdom bargained with Li Jing again, and Li Jing added a lot of weapons. Finally, the two sides finally reached an agreement and made this extremely amazing deal.
