388 Conquering
After his subordinates retreated, Pubu said with a pale face: "Awesome, Brother Haoshan, these muskets are so powerful that they are like heavenly soldiers and gods descending to earth."
Pububen wanted to ask for some new firearms like this. These were much more powerful than the old bird guns that Lu Haoshan gave him, but he swallowed them back when he said that. Who wouldn't treat such a powerful weapon as a treasure? Even if he wasn't willing to give it to others.
No wonder he was so generous to give him a batch of bird guns, it turned out that he had something even better in his hands.
After seeing the new type of musket, Pubu, who had felt that his strength had increased greatly and could stand up straight, suddenly knocked over the Wuwei Bottle. He was surprised at Lu Haoshan's strength and even secretly reflected on his numbness. He still knew nothing about such a powerful firearm in this world, and he had been immersed in the dream of winning the world with hundreds of old-style muskets.
What is this called, a frog in the well? Yelang is arrogant?
Until then, Pubu saw that Lu Haoshan's eyes had a strange look, with envy, awe, and panic.
Lu Haoshan ignored Pubu, whose face changed, and continued to order: "Change the artillery."
At the command, the Sichuan Army soldiers immediately pushed out a wheelbarrow carrying artillery. There were three cannons in total. After transporting them up, they lined up in a row. After someone pointed at the right angle, at Zhao Gongchang's command, there were three loud "boom" and "boom" sounded like a drought thunder on the ground. Pubu felt the earth tremble, and it was like the earth shaking.
What a domineering artillery.
Before Pubu was surprised, the shell fell about two miles away and exploded. Two of them hit a big stone, and the other exploded on the grass, causing the soil to splash. When the shell exploded, another swayed.
After the first round of artillery, soldiers immediately pointed one of the cannons slightly. Soon, three cannons bombed again. Pubu then noticed that the Sichuan Army was aiming at the big rock at the beginning. It was amazing. At such a long distance, two cannons hit the first round. From the cannon to the big rock, there were at least two miles. I heard that only the red cannons had such a range, and these small cannons were estimated to be less than 500 kilograms, so they were definitely not the red cannons.
It is said that the Red Barbarian cannon can reach five miles at the farthest. That is the farthest known to Pubu. Although these three small cannons only hit two miles, this is already very impressive.
Awesome, my "good neighbor" doesn't show off his own strength, but he didn't expect that he would be so terrible as soon as he took out his strength. By the way, I heard from past businessmen that the Sichuan Army had fought the Daxi Army, which was known as a million-dollar army, in just one month. At that time, I thought it was a joke, but now it seems that the rumors should be true.
Just as Pubu thought, the three cannons were still bombing. After the shelling stopped and the sound of the cannon subsided, Pubu was surprised to see that the huge rock was blown up halfway.
"Hiss" Pubu couldn't help but take a breath: It's amazing, it's a kind of weapon. No matter what kind of city wall it is, it can't be blocked.
Lu Haoshan glanced at Pubu and said with a smile: "Brother Pubu, how about my cannon?"
"Awesome" Pubu said with admiration: "Good artillery, with such artillery, there is no fortress in the world that cannot be captured."
Seeing Lu Haoshan smiling without saying a word, Pubu gritted his teeth lightly, and then said with a serious look: "Brother Haoshan, you made an appointment with me this time, not just to see these firearms, right?"
Although Pubu is average in ability, it does not mean that he is stupid. If he is stupid, it would not be his turn to sit in the position of chief. Maybe he would have been killed long ago. Lu Haoshan specially asked him out, saying that he had requested discussions, and then showed himself the sharp muskets and cannons. This is not a small show, but showing off his martial power, especially using muskets to beat the best armor in his hands in public, which means self-evident.
My most honorable guest, brother, reached into the field.
"Yes," Lu Haoshan admitted very simply: "Now the Central Plains is in chaos and heroes are rising everywhere. Lu is not talented and wants to consider how much he has in front of the heroes. Sichuan and Fandi are bordering. If all the troops are pulled away, I am afraid that someone will stab the knife with his back and will be dangerous when he is attacked. So before going to war, these hidden dangers will be removed."
Pubu is a straight-hearted person. For people who don’t have so many colorful things, it’s the most suitable thing to be straightforward with him. Besides, Lu Haoshan doesn’t like to talk nonsense.
"Then can I go back alive?" Pubu asked with a pale face.
He brought five thousand elite troops to come, and Lu Haoshan had only three thousand people in the end, and the number of people was his own. However, after seeing the Sichuan Army's new firearms, Pubu felt that he had no chance of winning. Although this was his own territory, if he was not careful, it would become a Hongmen Banquet, and there would be a Hongmen Banquet that would never come back.
"Of course" Lu Haoshan said seriously: "Today is a party and a negotiation. No matter whether the negotiation is reached or not, we will never make things difficult or harm the Pubu brothers."
If you don’t have strength or lack strength, you need to use strategies to make up for it. Lu Haoshan has 100,000 well-trained elite soldiers and powerful generals, and the most advanced weapons in the world today. There is no need to make any conspiracy against Pubu.
It is enough to use open conspiracy.
"Brother?" Publung said in surprise: "Are we still brothers?"
"Of course," Lu Haoshan patted Pubu's shoulder and said: "If it weren't for a brother, Lu wouldn't have said so much, and he didn't have to work hard to do some small shows. Of course, whether you can become a brother depends on your meaning."
Pubu looked at Lu Haoshan and nodded with a complicated expression.
Lu Haoshan was right. If he hadn't been nostalgic, he wouldn't have done so many things. He either rushed to Huanglong or controlled or killed himself as soon as he met. However, the other party did not. With his terrible strength, there was no need to deceive himself.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Pubu said with a little hard face.
"One is to do nothing, go back to your own tribe, live and work in peace, manage your own tribe, and then you will be granted a ward, and live a peaceful life in your own land. Second, help me take down the two Xuanwei Divisions of Wusi and Duogansi, and I will be appointed as the king of foreign land, and manage the area of foreign land for me, and enjoy the glory and wealth of all my glory and wealth. The last choice is what I don't want to see the least, that is, you and I will fight each other, either you die or I will die."
"What, let me take care of the affairs of the entire Fan land, my descendants, and have been crowned kings for generations?" Pubu said in surprise.
Since Songtsen Gampo unifies the plateau, there has been no British master in the Tubo Highlands for a long time. Either it is too weak or internal strife, most of which are in a state of division. Many people dream of unifying the Fan District and let their names be passed down on the plateau like the sage Songtsen Gampo.
It is a great thing to unify the plateau and be crowned kings for generations. Pubu, who is still a small character, was immediately moved: that is a height that he could never dream of.
Lu Haoshan said lightly: "That's right, but there is a little difference from what you think, that is, the official seal cannot be the commander seal. After all, it is like the Ming Dynasty. If the government and the army are separated, you can have your own subordinates, such as the guards, the official constables, etc., but you can no longer have your own army."
Pubu thought about it for a while and nodded quickly to agree.
If you handle matters and control the army, wouldn’t others not be able to get any benefits and be used as wedding clothes for yourself? In the Ming Dynasty, Pubu was the head of a ten thousand households enthroned by the court. He still knew the separation of the three officials in the Ming Dynasty. Pubu, who did not like war, did not attach much importance to military power.
The most important thing is that I have no choice. Lu Haoshan can find any agent, but I can never find a capable brother like Lu Haoshan. Once I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for life.
If you have strength, you can bargain. If you don’t have strength, just accept it obediently. After all, this is already very generous. As for Lu Haoshan’s problem of cheating him, Pubu never thought about it. It’s false to hear it, but it’s true to see it. Besides, the retreat of the Daxi Army is also a proof. In terms of strength, the Daxi Army is much stronger than itself.
Seeing Pubu agreeing, Lu Haoshan breathed a sigh of relief. The result was very good. First, you don’t have to rebel against Pubu. After all, this is one of his few friends. Second, Pubu is also a suitable candidate. Indigenous people, they have the strength and know the bottom line. The most important thing is that Pubu has little ambitions, is good at women and has no ambitions. Such people are easy to control, but they also have a strong army under their command.
"Brother Haoshan, ah, no, Governor, what should I do now?" I was about to call me a brother, but when I thought of my own resignation, it would be different, and it would be inappropriate to call me brother again.
Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If there are outsiders, we will be brothers."
"Okay, Brother Haoshan, it's great." Pubu rubbed his hands happily.
Lu Haoshan patted Pubu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you will soon find that this is the most wisest decision in your life."
Pubu laughed a few times, and did not answer. In fact, he didn't know what to say. He paused for a moment and said with some expectations: "Brother Haoshan, you haven't said it yet, what should we do now?"
"This is my old subordinate, Zhao Gongchang. He is responsible for this operation. You and the warriors in your clan can cooperate." Lu Haoshan said with a smile.
Zhao Gongchang took over the conversation and said, "Pu Bu Clan Chief, please rest assured. We have formulated a detailed plan. As long as we follow this plan, we can arrange the entire territory within a year."
Planning and then acting is Lu Haoshan's usual strategy. As a place bordering Sichuan, Lu Haoshan has always sent people to collect intelligence and knows the grievances and hatreds between various forces in this out-of-the-world area. The think tank headed by Li Nian has long formulated a detailed plan, and Zhao Gongchang is full of confidence in this action.
