Chapter 195: The quality of equipment that shocked the Mongols
ps: The fourth update is here! Wait for my fifth update! Today is the high-crazy rush!&1t;/p>
Dragging the Mongols into a commercial economy is definitely a sinister decision. Small,...o Once the Mongols use a large number of grasslands to raise horses, or raise sheep in large quantities, export more wool to the Ming Dynasty, then the result is that the Mongols will become increasingly dependent on the Ming Dynasty's economy.&1t;/p>
What is this called?&1t;/p>
This is called economic kidnapping~!&1t;/p>
Once the two sides have a war, the Mongols' horses and wool cannot be sold, and the Ming food they rely more and more on will not be able to enter. As long as the Ming Dynasty blocked Mongolia, it would be enough for the Mongols to drink a pot.&1t;/p>
Therefore, everything has a good side, and there must be a bad side. This time, the two sides' alliance was indeed in line with his interests and could obtain huge benefits, but it also increased hidden worries. However, with the economic mind of the Mongolians, they obviously only saw the current interests and did not consider the long-term evolution direction.&1t;/p>
This is the difference between having culture and not having culture! It is also a matter of vision. For time travelers, this kind of economic kidnapping is simply common. In the future, China and the United States were tied up like this.&1t;/p>
Once the Mongolians were highly commercialized, then Mongolia became a province of the Ming Dynasty in disguise.&1t;/p>
In the current situation in the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many other things except for paying some land taxes. In terms of financial resources, it cannot have much effect on the court. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is currently using business development to obtain sufficient resources in other provinces.&1t;/p>
Then this method can also work on Mongolian heads.&1t;/p>
Once the Mongolians enter the commercial economic model controlled by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxia will also seize various resources through commercial means.&1t;/p>
The final problem is that the Ming Dynasty sold military equipment to Mongolia.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
The Ming envoy gave 10,000 weapons and 5ooo sets of armor each year.&1t;/p>
"A steel knife costs 40 taels of silver, a piece of steel piercing armor 50 taels." The Ming envoy offered such a price, and Lin Danhan shook his head on the spot after hearing this.&1t;/p>
"It's too expensive, too expensive. I can't accept it." Lin Danhan shouted again.&1t;/p>
"Don't be impatient with the Khan. Our Ming Dynasty's military equipment is definitely of high quality. If you don't believe it, I'll show you how to do it?"&1t;/p>
"Okay. I want to see, what is the quality of this? "Lin Danhan is naturally very concerned about the quality of weapons and equipment. What if the Ming Dynasty court sold him a bunch of broken copper and iron?&1t;/p>
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty quickly presented the steel knife and armor, and saw that the steel knife was as cold as autumn water and was fully used in the materials. Then the envoy of the Ming Dynasty took out a piece of rice paper, pulled the rice paper and stood it up. The steel knife fell gently on the rice paper, and the standing rice paper was cut out a neat break.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan stood up on the spot and came over directly. The Ming envoy handed the steel knife to Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan took the steel knife and gently scraped his thumb on it. His eyes lit up.&1t;/p>
Good knife!&1t;/p>
It's really a good knife. Although the sharpness of the knife is not as good as those precious swords that cost extremely high and are tempered for thousands of times, the point is that this is not the price of the sword! It's the price of ordinary weapons. It's impossible for ordinary war knives to be so well-built.&1t;/p>
"Come, get the weapons."&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan shouted quickly, and then the left and right guards also received a steel knife made by the Ming Dynasty. This steel knife was obviously made by a smuggling merchant in Shanxi. It still has a certain reputation in Mongolia, at least the quality of the weapons equipped by the Ming Dynasty's official army before. This knife is a good knife for 35 taels of silver in terms of price.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan immediately asked the guard to collide with two swords in his hand.&1t;/p>
After a clang!, the blades of the two steel knives collided hard together. Then there were a few more "cang clang" sounds, and then they hit five or six more times before they stopped.&1t;/p>
Then I put down a comparison and everyone was stunned.&1t;/p>
The steel knife made by Shanxi merchants had seven deep gaps on the blade, almost one centimeter. The entire blade was like a dog chewing, and it turned into a saw. On the other hand, the steel knife built by the Royal Military Factory had only slightly dents on the blade, which could be repaired by grinding it.&1t;/p>
The gap is too big.&1t;/p>
"A such a sword is only 40 taels?" Lin Danhan asked the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in shock, as if he was 'I read less, don't lie to me'.&1t;/p>
"Yes, as long as 40 taels, it is absolutely perfect, and the price is fair." The envoy of the Ming Dynasty answered confidently. Lin Danhan asked worriedly: "Can the steel knives you use to trade with Ben Khan achieve such quality?"&1t;/p>
"There is absolutely no problem. This is the ordinary steel knives created by our Royal Military Factory. If the steel knives traded in the future cannot achieve this quality and fail to accept them on the spot, you can refuse to accept them and we will deal with them immediately. Moreover, our Royal Military Factory promises that as long as they are their products, they can directly return and exchange if they have quality problems within half a year. Of course, normal damage is not within the range of return and exchange."&1t;/p>
"But this price is indeed..." Lin Danhan sighed and stopped. This quality and price are really cost-effective.&1t;/p>
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty was very calm. These steel knives were made of ding-grade steel smelted by the Royal Steel Factory. In the Ming Dynasty, only the Royal Steel Factory could smel out of this quality steel. Moreover, this steel is not directly exported, and is processed into finished products before exporting. Shanxi merchants wanted to buy this steel and use it to make private weapons, but they could not buy it at all.&1t;/p>
This is the only one, but you like to buy but not buy. This is the attitude.&1t;/p>
The export of military equipment is no exception. If the Mongolians really don’t want to buy it, the Ming Dynasty would not force it. If the Mongolians want to buy it, of course they can only buy cold weapons and armor for melee combat. Long-range weapons are not sold, and no matter they are craftsmen or muskets, they are even more unlikely to sell artillery.&1t;/p>
It is acceptable to sell these cold weapons to the Mongols, and they cannot pose too much threat to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty had artillery, so it was not timid when fighting with the Mongols.&1t;/p>
Next, Lin Danhan tested these armor made of steel sheets, and the result was that the steel knives made by Shanxi merchants could not cut through these armors. These armors were made of steel sheets! They were not those pig iron sheets, and their protection capabilities were simply a huge difference.&1t;/p>
However, the steel knives made of the Royal Military Factory can be cut through, but the depth of cutting through is also large, and it will not cost life if you slash a few times.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan's breathing suddenly became rapid. If he could have tens of thousands of such armor, who could beat his Mongolian Iron Cavalry?&1t;/p>
Those Mongolian tribes that wanted to rebel would be wiped out easily. At that time, holding these sharp steel knives, cutting people, cutting melons and vegetables? Wearing these steel pieces of armor, isn't it invulnerable to swords and guns?
Invincible!&1t;/p>
Under such temptation, the price of 4o two and one steel knife and 5o two and one armor was determined. For the Royal Military Factory, such a price is simply a huge profit.&1t;/p>
"There are too few 10,000 swords and 5ooo armor stitches every year. Ben Khan wants 20,000 swords and 10,000 armor stitches every year." Lin Danhan was very dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's equipment trading quota. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
