Chapter 1190 The Expectations of the Ma Family Father and Son

Ma Teng finally waited for the western army.

There are more than 5,000 troops in advance, and they will arrive slowly later.

Ma Teng has mastered the entire Silk Road. Although he traded with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's caravan could not continue to move forward after arriving in Liangzhou. They had to sell the goods to them in Liangzhou, and then the caravan formed by Ma Teng and the others transported them. Go west to sell.

In the past few years, the Silk Road has been very developed, and caravans come and go every day.

The West is very curious about the East, and they have organized many caravans to come.

However, they can only be in Liangzhou, and they are also controlled and monopolized by Ma Teng.

Ma Teng did not allow Zhang Yu to trade directly with the West, just to eat both sides alone and make a fortune.

When the western army arrived, Ma Teng and his son received them.

"General, I don't know how well prepared your weapons and equipment are. If we carry heavy weapons and equipment from the West, and cannot transport much food and grass, it will be very dangerous." The Western general asked the translator to speak to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng said: "We have already built a batch, but your weapons and equipment are too large and difficult to build, and Liangzhou has no resources, so you can only buy them from other places, which is very difficult."

The western general with the high nose and blue eyes frowned. They only brought a small amount of weapons and equipment.

"Take me to see."

The western general asked Ma Teng to take him to see it.

"Not bad, not bad, very good, very good, the weapons and equipment you build are much better than our own, but the quantity is too small."

The Roman generals were very happy to see the quality of the weapons and equipment, but Ma Teng only built more than 10,000 pairs in total, which was not enough at all.

Ma Teng did not expect that when he was preparing in the early stage, they were all made according to their own size, and it was only after hundreds of thousands of shots that they discovered this fatal problem.

But it's not a waste, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses can also be used.

After that, I started to build weapons and equipment that Roman soldiers could use, but this cost a lot, and the difficulty of building has also increased a lot.

Ma Teng is rich, but Zhang Yu's trade with them is simply unequal.

Usually it is a lot of price increase before selling to them.

Although Ma Teng earns a lot of money every year, it is also terrible to spend.

Food and drink for the more than 200,000 troops is a big problem, and the weapons and equipment are frighteningly expensive. After Bie Zhangyu blocked it, it was several times more expensive.

Zhang Yu sold them salt, tea, pottery, and silk, etc., all of which were open to supply, but for some strategic materials such as iron ore, Zhang Yu was very stingy, and the price he gave was small and the price was high.

Ma Teng went to find and mine by himself several times, but the quantity was too small, so he still needed to buy a lot.

Zhang Yu gave very little on the surface, so he would use smuggling, but the cost of smuggling is also very expensive.

"Don't worry, general, your 20,000 troops have arrived in Liangzhou and started to adapt to training. After a few months of training, if there are no problems, the follow-up army will be able to come." Ma Teng said.

Ma Teng has been making progress recently, just to let the Roman Empire send troops over as soon as possible.

When Ma Teng saw that all of them were tall and powerful, Ma Teng was delighted to see them.

Such an army must be very strong in all aspects.

Ma Chao is also eager to try their strength.

However, these people are already very tired after walking so far, and now they need to rest.

Ma Chao will be patient, wait for them to recover for a few days, then adapt to training for a few days, and then have a good competition with them.

If the Roman Empire's army were all such powerful men, Ma Teng felt that their great cause could be successful.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of men from the Roman Empire will come to kill them, and they will be invincible.

Both Ma Teng and Ma Chao are looking forward to it.

The powerful Roman Empire helped them unify China, and they only had to pay a part of the price.

This price is actually very high. If it wins, the fallen empire will control two states in China, and then conduct east-west trade.

But for Ma Teng and his son, there is no way to defeat Zhang Yu with their strength.

Now they have a chance.

More than 5,000 Roman Empire warriors stayed, and their strength is expected.

Zhang Yu soon received the news.

After receiving the news, he also paid close attention to how much combat power the soldiers of the Roman Empire had after they arrived here.

He didn't know that even though he was very confident in winning this war, Zhang Yu couldn't help paying attention.

In the capital, Zhang Yu received the news that the advance army of the Roman Empire had arrived.

"It's time to sanction Ma Teng and continue to mislead them." After receiving the news, Zhang Yu planned to sanction Ma Teng and the others half a month later.

If sanctions are imposed immediately, this Ma Teng will definitely be terrified.

Because if Zhang Yu and the others had such high intelligence capabilities, they would react immediately after the Roman army arrived, and they must be extremely wary of them.

In fact, Ma Teng thought he was successful, because after marrying Ma Yunlu to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu really did not attack them after defeating Cao Cao.

At that time, if they attacked them, Ma Teng would not be able to resist Zhang Yu at all.

As a result, Zhang Yu stopped fighting, and even began to disarm.

The main battle army of 300,000 will be disarmed at one time, and then it will be disarmed year after year.

This made Ma Teng very happy, thinking his plan was a success.

He successfully paralyzed Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu let him do nothing in order to trade with the West and make money.

Ma Teng has always been such an idea.

As everyone knows, Zhang Yu kept him just to use him.

During the innovation process, many problems did arise, and some contradictions were relatively serious. It took Zhang Yu a lot of effort to promote the innovation.

Now a little bit of innovation and experimentation, the scale has not yet increased, and the problems that may be exposed are not serious.

As we continue to innovate, there may be more problems, and in the end, when the scale increases, more problems may break out.

At this time, Zhang Yu can use external wars to resolve internal conflicts.

With the arrival of Western troops, Zhang Yu also began to plan a new round of innovation.

This time, he will take one step at a time and divide all the provinces at once.

The division of provinces plays a very important role. Zhang Yu can collect taxes from some richer provinces to build roads first, and also take care of some underdeveloped provinces.

Of course, this premise is to leave enough tax revenue for these developed provinces so that they can still develop rapidly.

Zhang Yu held a cabinet meeting.

"Now is a very favorable time to promote provinces, cities and counties across the country. Where it has been completed, continue to divide the county and city levels. Take advantage of this favorable opportunity to make a final decision and solve a lot of trouble for the future."

In wartime, when there are still powerful foreign enemies, there are different voices, and it is only natural for Zhang Yu to raise the butcher's knife.

In peacetime, it is not acceptable to raise the butcher's knife and massacre.

Zhang Yu took advantage of the Western threat theory, like a certain country in the later generations, if it creates a Communist Party, it will be able to continuously demand military expenses from the Congress, but what Zhang Yu wants is not military expenses, but killing people.
