The Mongolian horse can be said to be the best war horse in the world. The reason why the Mongolian army was able to sweep across Asia and Europe was that in addition to the Mongolian soldiers being good at riding and shooting, the Mongolian horse also played a major role. Wan Lei also knew that in the era without armored vehicles,

The way to defeat the cavalry is cavalry versus cavalry! If you want to avoid being bullied by others in the future, you must first train the Peiping Army into cavalry that can compete with the Mongolian cavalry. Therefore, he advocated the introduction of a large number of Mongolian horse equipment into the army.

The weather in mid-June was very sultry, and the continuous sunny and dry weather for a month made Beiyuan suffer even more. Facing the droves of cattle and sheep that starved to death, the head of Beiyuan, Zhiyuan Guilichi, had no choice but to leave early.

A trading delegation was sent out, driving groups of cattle, horses and sheep to trade outside Juyong Pass in exchange for food, ironware and other necessary items.

This large-scale mutual trade may be the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Wan Lei sent many people who knew horses to select good horses. As for the inferior horses that planned to pass off as inferior horses, of course they had to be excluded. After all, now is

Shuntianfu took the initiative in trade.

Regarding the picky attitude of Shuntian Prefecture, although Beiyuan came to express his opinions, he did not dare to mention it. After all, the two parties had concluded trade terms. Beiyuan had already come here not to mention it, and even temporarily changed some of the terms.

Of course it's not unreasonable. In addition, this is a fair transaction, and they can also be picky and picky about the products provided by Shuntianfu.

However, Wan Lei did not give Bei Yuan a chance to find fault with his eggs. All the products prepared by Shuntian Mansion met the quality requirements stipulated in the trade terms. The salt was snow-white and contained no impurities, and the iron was the hardest and thickest.

, the cloth is also the most exquisite, and even the grain is rice with the skin removed.

While the two parties were handing over the goods, Beiyuan's envoy Arutai said: "Can you hand over the prisoners to us first? We urgently need these people so that we can exchange them for our clan members."

"Most of the prisoners are still on the way to be escorted and will not be delivered until tomorrow. Let's carry out normal trade first, and it won't be too late to talk about the prisoners tomorrow." Wan Lei did a Tai Chi to prevent the other party from ransoming the prisoners first.

, lest these guys regret it temporarily.

If he didn't want to take prisoners, Arutai frowned and said: "The clock you gave me to the Great Khan is indeed exquisite and practical. Can you give me a few more? Many princes and ministers in my court want one."

"Of course that clock is refined and practical. Not only does it accurately keep time, but it can also tell the time at fixed points. Anyone who sees it will praise it for its practicality." Wan Lei secretly smiled in his heart, but then frowned and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. This kind of clock is the work of many of our experts.

It took a good craftsman several years of hard work to make it, so it is difficult to make another one."

Hearing what Wan Lei said, Arutai thought that Wan Lei was looking for a rare commodity to live in, and said: "We don't want it for nothing, how about replacing ten good horses with one?"

"This..." Wan Lei hesitated for a while, as if he was very cruel, and then said: "To be honest with you, there are only two clocks. One is given to you, and we need to use the other one ourselves. We really can't give it away anymore."

.Well, let us send you another telescope as a token of friendship."

"Telescope? What is this?" Arutai asked hurriedly.

"Come here, get the telescope commonly used by our army." The guard took the order and left. Wan Lei said again: "Telescopes are commonly known as clairvoyance. They can be used to see very far away places. When the army is fighting, they can immediately

Discover the enemy. The reason why our army was able to detect the enemy's attack early that day was due to the telescope."

"Oh, there are such good things, we really want to broaden our horizons." Before Arutai could speak, another messenger said first.

"That's natural. We in Shuntian Mansion are capable of producing numerous people, not to mention clairvoyance and ears." Zhao Hongru, who was sitting under Wan Lei, said proudly.

In fact, the so-called telephoto lens is just a combination of concave lenses and convex lenses using optical principles. Of course, the principle is simple, but it is difficult to do. Due to the lack of raw materials such as soda ash, glass cannot be mass-produced, and the glass used for sunglasses is

It is produced in a laboratory, with low output and poor quality. In addition, it is polished by hand. Making a telescope is not only time-consuming, but also consumes a lot of raw materials.

Precisely because telescopes are difficult to make, the Peiping army is only equipped to the regiment level for the time being. Now giving one to Beiyuan is a huge honor. Of course, this is not a free gift. Wan Lei has a purpose. This can only be done

If the telescope, which has been magnified more than 20 times, falls into the hands of the Mongols, it will definitely be remembered, and violent robbery may even occur. This is what Wan Lei wants to see the most.

Soon, an iron pipe about one meter long was brought up. Wan Lei handed it to Arutai and said: "Let's go to the tower. We can see far if we stand high."

A group of people went up to the tower. Wan Lei pointed at a group of birds in the distant mountains and said, "See for yourselves, how many birds can you see?"

"Really?" Arutai couldn't believe it, but he still curiously put the telescope in front of his eyes. At this time, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but it was nothing. When he grabbed it again, it was just nothing.

Catching a handful of air, he put down the telescope in his hand and exclaimed in surprise: "Really, those birds seem to be flying in front of me."

"You can use it to look over there again." Wan Lei pointed at the mountains in the distance.
