Chapter 823: You Need to Expand the Territory Even More
Zhao Lang quickly took the letter and read it. After a while, he finished reading the letter and then squinted his eyes thoughtfully, as if thinking about something.
The slave on the side was not sure what happened, so he just smiled and said,
"The Xiang clan sent messengers here even in winter. I think they have something to ask for from you, the master."
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"Where they are now, it's like spring all year round, there's no such thing as winter."
The slave was slightly startled when he heard this, and said,
"Is there such a place?"
Zhao Lang did not explain to the other party what the tropics and temperate zones were, but handed the letter to the other party.
"It seems that they have now reached a new territory in the north, and they are now encountering many difficulties."
Zhao Lang did not expect that Xiang Yu and others would actually fight all the way to the southwest. The small countries on that front line were in bad luck.
Those small countries that had just escaped from ignorance and were similar to tribes were no match for Xiang Yu.
Of course, Xiang Yu also suffered losses. The hot climate brought them great harm.
This time the other party asked for the support of medicine and gunpowder.
The slave had already read the letter at this time and said with a bit of disbelief,
"Where do these rebellious people get the courage to open their mouths and ask for thunder!"
"They also said that they already know some of Tianlei's secrets, which is simply bragging."
He had followed his master all the way and of course he knew how important Tianlei was to Da Qin.
No matter what, it is impossible to give the thunder to the other party.
Zhao Lang was not very surprised when he heard the news. When fighting with gunpowder before, there would inevitably be some duds, and it was not surprising that the other party got some.
Once you get gunpowder, you can quickly see that it contains carbon and sulfur, but it is not so easy to find saltpeter and the exact ratio.
Not to mention there are a lot of precautions, and if you don't play well, you will be sent away.
After all, Zhao Lang in the entire Great Qin did not believe that anyone else knew what static electricity was except himself.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Lang said slowly,
"Write back to him. Tianlei, I can sell him the finished product and let him exchange for various good seeds. As for the doctor's medicine, it will be the same as before."
Zhao Lang can now naturally guess that Xiang Yu should have obtained some gunpowder, so it is not a big problem to sell some basic black powder to the other party at a high price.
The slave on the side still wanted to persuade,
"Master, this..."
How could a powerful weapon like Tianlei be sold to his opponent?
Zhao Lang waved his hand and said,
"No problem, just carry out the order and prepare five hundred kilograms first."
Zhao Lang felt like he had lost money if he didn't need to exchange the five hundred kilograms of black powder for the supplies worth five hundred kilograms of gold.
Although these charcoal, sulfur, etc. are not valuable, knowledge is priceless.
After hearing this, the slave had no choice but to take the order and leave.
After the slave left, Zhao Lang walked outside, looked towards the south of Daqin in the cold wind, and said to himself,
"You have to make the territory bigger, otherwise it will be too small and I won't be able to accept it."
At this time, the southern border of Great Qin was further south.
Unlike the cold wind in northern Xinjiang, the sun is shining here and it is hot and humid.
Only now, in the dense jungle, there are countless places where smoke is rising.
Only when you get closer can you see that it is a simple city that is being plundered.
The natives who defended the city held simple wooden weapons and screamed to resist the enemies who didn't know where they came from.
Their enemies were calm and ruthless, completely crushing them both in terms of equipment and performance.
They can also throw out bamboo tubes that emit thick smoke, like evil gods.
The most terrifying thing is that the leader of this group of enemies has invincible martial arts skills and is completely unstoppable!
The most elite warriors among them, more than a dozen of them, could not stop others from waving their hands.
Therefore, even if they are large in number, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered under the attack of these people, and they can only be defeated and defeated again.
Soon this simple city fell into the hands of the opponent.
"A-Zhuang, gather your men, count all the supplies, take away all the women and children, and use the men as slaves."
"Dragon Sniper, lead your men five miles ahead and conduct reconnaissance. These monkeys like guerrilla attacks. Don't let them take advantage of us. Our manpower is precious."
Xiang Yu, who was wearing commoner clothes and had a much darker complexion and a calm face, stood on the top of the city and gave orders one by one.
Soon everyone was ordered to leave.
Xiang Yu looked into the distance at this time, his heart extremely complicated.
It has been almost a year since he left Qin with his people.
After arriving here, he has been fighting almost all the time. Now the territory he controls almost covers the two major counties of Qin State.
Of course, a very heavy price was paid.
Just when Xiang Yu was recalling the past, Yu Ziqi hurried over and said,
"Overlord, it's not good. Many brothers in the army are suffering from stomach diseases. We don't have enough medicine."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned immediately.
Their biggest enemies here are not these natives, who are shorter than monkeys and more flexible, but the damn weather and disease.
According to the time, it was already snowing heavily in Qin State at this time, but now it is still extremely hot here.
Although there were many places in the south of Chu State where it didn't snow, the temperature always dropped, unlike here.
His people were not accustomed to the local environment and fell ill a lot.
I could only say with a bit of exhaustion,
"Send a letter to Meng Yi of the Qin Army and ask him to send more medicine doctors."
Then he pointed to the wooden houses that could be seen everywhere in the city and said with a bit of ridicule,
"Let's just say that we don't take it for nothing, and we will trade it with them for these precious woods."
Fragrant wood, etc., which were relatively precious in Qin State, are worthless here.
In order to repel mosquitoes, the indigenous people here use these fragrant trees to build houses.
Yu Ziqi was about to take the order and leave, when Xiang Yu asked,
"Has the Crown Prince of Qin replied to your letter?"
Yu Ziqi was stunned for a moment and replied,
"Overlord, it's winter in Qin now. Calculating the distance, I'm afraid the messenger has just arrived in Xianyang. It will take at least a month for a reply."
"And you, Overlord, are asking them for the thunder of that day. I'm afraid they won't agree."
Xiang Yu shook his head at this time and returned,
"He will agree."
"Can…"
Yu Ziqi was suddenly confused. How could the other party sell such a weapon to his enemy?
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xiang Yu showed a wry smile and said,
"Because in his mind, I am helping him conquer the world, and he is extremely confident, so he will definitely give it to me, but the price will be very high."
Zhao Lang had not hidden this thought from him from the beginning. The most important thing now was to get more sky thunders and find out the secrets.
They made an imitation of the sky thunder they had obtained before, but although the thing they made could be ignited, it would only emit thick smoke.
"No matter what, we must find out the secret!"
Xiang Yu looked in the direction of Da Qin at this time and said harshly,
"One day, I must take back the world that belongs to me!"
