Zhao Lang quickly took over the letter to read up, not much time to finish reading the letter then thoughtfully squinted his eyes, seems to be pondering something.
The side of the slave can not understand what happened, just smiled and said.
“This clan actually sent a messenger over in the winter, I think there is a request for you, master.”
Zhao Lang said blandly.
“The place where they are now has four seasons like spring, there is no such thing as winter.”
Nu listened with a slight shock,and said.
“There is such a place?”
Zhao Lang didn’t give the other party an explanation of what is called tropical and what is called temperate, but handed the letter to the other party and
“It’s like nowadays they’ve fought their way north to a new frontier, and they’re experiencing quite a lot of difficulties right now.”
Zhao Lang also didn’t expect Xiang Yu and these people, actually fought all the way to the southwestern direction,the various small countries on that frontline are considered to be down on their luck.
Those small countries that have only just left obscurity not long ago, and the tribes are almost the same, are not Xiang Yu’s opponents at all.
Of course, Xiang Yu also had losses, the hot climate brought them great harm.
This time the other side is asking for support of medicine, and gunpowder.
Nu has finished reading the letter by this time, and with a few moments of incredulity he said.
“Where did these rebels get the guts to open their mouths and ask for heavenly thunder!”
“They also said that they already know some of the secrets of the Heavenly Thunder, it’s simply big talk.”
He was the one who had followed his own master all the way of course he knew how important Heavenly Thunder was to Great Qin.
It was impossible to give the Heavenly Thunder to the other party no matter what.
Zhao Lang heard this news but wasn’t very surprised, when fighting with gunpowder before, there would inevitably be some duds, and it wasn’t strange for the other side to get some.
When you get gunpowder, you can quickly see that there is carbon and sulphur in it, but if you want to find saltpeter, and the exact proportion of it, it’s not so easy.
Not to mention that there are a lot of precautions, a bad game can send themselves away.
After all, the entire Qin Zhao Lang do not believe that in addition to their own, there is someone who knows what the static electricity is.
Slightly pondered for a while, Zhao Lang slowly said.
“Write back to him, Heavenly Thunder I can sell him finished products, let him take all kinds of good seeds to exchange, as for the physician medicines, it’s the same as before.”
Zhao Lang could naturally guess now that Xiang Yu should have obtained some gunpowder, so selling some of the most elementary black powder to the other party at a high price would not be a big problem.
The slave on the side still wants to persuade.
“Master, this…”
How can a great killing weapon like the Heavenly Thunder be sold to one’s opponent?
Zhao Lang waved his hand and said.
“No harm done, carry out the order, go prepare five hundred jin first.”
Without using these five hundred pounds of black powder to exchange back, supplies worth five hundred pounds of gold, Zhao Lang felt that he had lost money.
These charcoal sulphur and so on were worthless, but knowledge was priceless ah.
Hearing this, Nu also had no choice but to lead the order to leave.
After the slave left, Zhao Lang walked outside and looked towards the south of Great Qin in the cold wind and said to himself.
“You have to make the territory bigger, otherwise it’s too small for me to receive.”
At this time, the southern border of Great Qin was further south.
Unlike the frigid winds of the Northern Frontier, it was still sunny and hot and humid.
Only now, in the midst of the dense jungle, there are countless places where smoke is rising.
It was only when one got closer that one would realise that it was a humble city that was being plundered.
The natives defending the city were holding simple wooden weapons, wailing and screaming to resist the enemy that came from nowhere.
Their enemies were calm and cold, completely crushing them in both equipment and battle records.
They were also able to casually throw out a bamboo tube that could emit thick smoke, like evil gods.
The most terrifying thing was that the leader of this group of enemies had invincible martial arts skills and was simply unstoppable!
The most elite warriors among them, going up a dozen or so together, couldn’t block a single wave of someone else’s hand.
So even though they were outnumbered, they were like lambs to the slaughter underneath these people’s attack, and could only keep routing, and routing again.
Soon this simple city fell into the hands of the other side.
“Ah Zhuang, gather the men, count all the supplies, take away all the women and children, and use the men as slaves.”
“Long Sniper, lead your men five miles ahead, do a good job of scouting, these monkeys like to guerrilla sneak attacks, don’t let them take advantage of the situation, cur’s manpower is precious.”
Wearing cloth clothes, his skin colour has darkened a lot again, Xiang Yu, who is full of composure, stood on the city head and ordered one by one.
Soon all of them led the order to leave.
Xiang Yu looked into the distance at this time, his heart extremely complicated.
It has also been almost a year since he left Qin with his people.
After arriving here, he has been fighting almost every moment, and now the territory under his control is almost as large as two large counties in Qin.
Of course an extremely heavy price had been paid.
Just as Xiang Yu was reminiscing about his past, Yu Ziqi hurriedly came over and said.
“Overlord, it’s not good, quite a few brothers in the army are suffering from belly disease again, we don’t have enough medicine.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately frowned.
Their biggest enemy here is not these, shorter than monkeys, nimble natives, but this damn weather and diseases.
According to the time, at this time, it would have already been snowing heavily in Qin, but now it is still extremely hot here.
Although there were many places in the south of Chu where it didn’t snow, the temperature would always drop some, unlike here.
His people are not used to the water and soil and have fallen ill quite a lot.
Can only with a few tiredness said.
“Send another letter to Meng Yi of the Qin army, asking him to send more medicine physicians over,”
Then pointing to the wooden houses everywhere in the city, with a few moments of mockery, he said that
“Just say that we won’t take it for nothing, and will exchange these valuable woods with them.”
Fragrant wood and the like, which were more precious in Qin, were worthless here.
To repel mosquitoes, the natives here use these fragrant woods to build their houses.
Yu Ziqi was about to lead the order to leave, when Xiang Yu asked.
“Has the Prince of Qin replied?”
Yu Ziqi froze for a moment and replied.
“Overlord, nowadays it is winter in Qin, counting the distance, I’m afraid that the messenger has only arrived in Xianyang, and if you want a reply, you will have to wait for at least a month.”
“Moreover, Overlord, you are still asking them for that Heavenly Thunder, I am afraid that the other party will not agree.”
Xiang Yu at this time but shook his head and returned.
“He will agree.”
“But…”
Yu Ziqi was instantly a bit puzzled like this kind of military weapon, how could the other party sell it to his enemies?
Without waiting for the other party to finish his sentence, Xiang Yu revealed a bitter smile and said.
“Because in his mind this king is helping him to fight for the kingdom, and he is also extremely confident, so he will definitely give it to this king, only the asking price will be very high.”
This piece of mind Zhao Lang did not hide from him from the very beginning, the most important thing right now was to get some more Heavenly Thunder and then find the secret of it.
They made imitations based on the Heavenly Thunder they got before, but the things they made could only emit smoke even though they could be lit.
“No matter what, we must find out the secret of it!”
Xiang Yu looked in the direction of Great Qin at this time and said fiercely.
“One day, this king will definitely take back the world that belongs to him!”
