Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 753: Merchants come to order arms

"What you said makes sense, but I can't give you as much support as you want."

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and then slowly waved his hand.

Chen Shimao had already told him that it would be best to just sit back and watch.

After all, the current situation is not clear, not to mention that this is someone else's family affair.

If Qin Ming intervenes rashly, he will not be able to stand on any level.

"But Your Majesty, if we are suppressed now, the trade of the entire Western Region will be affected in the future, which is definitely not what you want to see."

Seeing that Qin Ming wanted to stay out of it, Chu Ying immediately started talking about the interests between the two parties.

What he said is also the most important issue that Qin Ming is worried about. After all, no one wants to suffer losses in trade now.

As long as the trade between the two sides can be guaranteed, Qin Ming can develop steadily after experiencing the war.

How they fought had nothing to do with Qin Ming.

"How about this? I'll give you a batch of arms as a formal transaction between you and Daqian. As for other support, I won't give too much, let alone any statements about taking sides."

"We understand this. Giving us a batch of arms is already a great help. We won't embarrass you, and we won't ask you to publicly take sides."

When Chu Ying heard what Qin Ming said, he felt relieved.

He knew that Qin Ming had just experienced a war and the entire dynasty had spent a huge amount of money.

So at this time, it is definitely a bit stretched.

In addition, during their New Year period, Qin Ming had all the dividends from the bills distributed.

This also makes the national treasury even more empty.

That's why they specially set the time to find Qin Ming and offer him a huge weapons order.

"By the way, Your Majesty, to show our sincerity, we have brought all the silver here in advance. You can accept it first. Once the weapons and equipment are completed, you can arrange for someone to deliver it to us."

"The railways between us are well built. This shouldn't be a big problem for you."

"That's natural."

The first railway built in a neighboring country before Qin Ming was the railway in the Western Regions.

Basically, there are railway tracks built by them in every border.

When he said this, Qin Ming suddenly said:

"By the way, no matter how we fight, the previous construction and these railway tracks must not be touched. If they are touched, we will be enemies with Daqian."

These train tracks are very important.

Qin Ming also hopes to do business through these train tracks in the future.

If the infrastructure construction was severely damaged in their war.

These kings and wealthy businessmen will definitely not pay for its repairs.

It's not of much use just sitting there.

At that time, Daqian will have to pay for the repairs.

So Qin Ming repeatedly reminded them of it.

If these people dare to touch the railway, their troops will go there.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the wealthy businessmen present immediately became serious.

They all started to make promises to Qin Ming.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one, whether we or the Okuninushi, has ever dismantled the railway, even in the event of a battle."

"Yes, this is our lifeline."

Just as they were making the promise, Chu Ying's face suddenly darkened, as if he remembered something.

"Your Majesty, we and the rulers of all the major nations can guarantee this, but there are some people who cannot..."

"Have you heard about the Datong Sect?"

"them……"

Speaking of the Datong Sect, Qin Ming suddenly felt a headache. This sect indiscriminately harmed everyone around it.

The purpose is to return to the previous farming era.

They do things that harm others and benefit themselves all day long.

If the other two factions still have some rationality, then the Datong sect is a madman who has no rationality at all.

"I know."

"Even if you can restrain us and the rulers of the major nations, you can't. The number of people in the Datong sect is increasing, and they are all displaced people."

"These vagrants are fearless. They grab food and use weapons whenever they come across them. The key is that they appear everywhere, and even if we want to suppress them, we are powerless."

What Chu Ying said is relatively true.

People like this appeared sporadically throughout the Western Regions.

After learning about the teachings of the Datong Sect, they all rebelled on the spot, hoping to turn back the times to the agricultural era when all countries were united.

Even if one group of these people is killed, another group will soon awaken.

For the Western Regions, which is already in chaos internally, it is very difficult to get rid of them.

"Don't worry about this. I will station a group of troops around the railway. They will not interfere in your fights, but will only protect the railway."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."

After finishing the meeting with them, Qin Ming sat in the imperial study without moving for a long time.

I have been thinking about how to solve the problem of stability in the Western Regions.

In fact, Chen Shimao had told him this before.

If you want to stabilize the Western Regions, the best way is to include Western Shu.

Bring them all into the territory of Daqian.

But so far, they haven't found any good reason to completely resolve it.

Having a legitimate reason for learning is always important.

In addition, there are still many forces in the Western Regions, and it is impossible to strangle them all.

If he really did that, Qin Ming would be a peerless devil who kills people without blinking an eye.

"Your Majesty, their order is extremely large, requiring 6,000 muskets."

As soon as Qin Ming issued the order, Wu Shizhong rushed directly into the imperial study and handed a detailed list to Qin Ming.

The amount of arms written above is very large, including 6,000 muskets and one million rounds of ammunition.

"They said they brought enough silver. How much silver did they bring?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly. This number was indeed astonishing. It was enough to support a regular gunpowder army.

"More than seven million taels."

When talking about this number, Wu Shizhong was a little hesitant.

"Cash?"

"Yes."

Wu Shizhong nodded, and then continued to say to Qin Ming:

"If this batch of weapons and equipment is sent to the battlefield, it will pose a huge threat to the Western Regions. Do we need to notify the leaders of the major nations in advance?"

"Daqian is open for business. There's no need to hide it. Tell them."

"But if they were interested, they would have known these things."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

The transactions between him and the wealthy businessmen in the Western Regions must have been sent back to the countries in the Western Regions through various channels.

Next, we have to see their reaction.
