high!
It’s really high!
As expected of the Queen of Immortal King Zhuge, this calculation skill is indeed much higher than that of ordinary "immortals"!
After listening to Zhuge Weidao's analysis, Daoguang and Heshen felt their eyes light up. The two of them had only thought of ways to make money and steal money before, and had never thought about begging for food, let alone asking for food standing up.
Now listening to Zhuge Weidao's analysis, everyone feels that the Jin Empire's fortune is about to come.
To be honest, the Jin Empire has always attached great importance to army construction because it has to guard against the two super land powers of Ming and Rakshasa. Just look at the city defense of Bagua City!
In addition to the Bagua City, at the entrance to the Wuji Valley, the Jin Empire also spent hundreds of years constantly reinforcing and building a comprehensive defense system including trenches, long walls, bastions, and cottages, called Xianmen Pass.
In addition to building forts and cities, the Jin Empire's infantry, cavalry, and artillery have never been weak. In particular, their lightweight field artillery can even be considered world-class!
After all, other countries with artillery do not have so many "immortals" who are "good at pinching and calculating" but have no good prospects to serve as artillery, and there are not so many mountains and bad roads for them to slowly adapt - the Golden Empire has always There is no infrastructure construction outside Wuji Valley, so there is no good way out of Wuji Valley, and heavy artillery cannot move at all. The 75 fast cannons and 70 mountain cannons imported from the Ming Dynasty had to be dismantled and carried on mules, horses and camels. Therefore, the artillerymen of the Jin Empire were first-rate in dismantling, assembling, and serving mules, horses, and camels.
Moreover, the large livestock of the Jin Empire, especially the camels, were not worth much at all, and they could be made with great effort. Neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Rakshasa can compare with this... After all, there are no railways in the Jin Empire, and there are no good official roads outside Wuji Valley, so they have to rely on camels for trade. The stock and production of camels rank first in the world.
In addition, although the Jin Empire has not fought any major battles in recent years, there have been bad battles in the mountains every year! In order to seize land in the Wuji Valley (Fergana Basin), they drove many local people into the mountains. And the Tianshan Mountains and Gisar-Alai Mountains surrounding Wuji Valley are boundless... so this mountainous battle can only be slowly gnawed from generation to generation.
Relying on the mountain artillery that can pinch and calculate, the Jin Empire's army has done pretty well. Now it has almost firmly controlled the two to three hundred thousand square kilometers of mountainous area around the Wuji Valley. At the same time, it has also developed an army that can An army engaged in a long-term struggle with mountain tribes.
Now the Jin Empire has introduced Suvorov rifles from Rakshasa and purchased Zhuge machine guns from Ming Dynasty. It can see that it can improve the level of Dajin's new army. Although the Jin Empire was not industrialized, the number of bannermen, mixed-race bannermen, and Mongolian bannermen was not large, and it could not maintain too many armies. Don't even think about conquering India and Persia, which are backed by the British Empire.
But the Jin Empire can torment the British Empire just like the nomads who harassed the Han farming empire. He would go to India every now and then to do something, and he would ask for rewards while doing it. If the British Empire doesn't give it, it will keep quarreling with it. Although Britain is powerful, it is impossible to destroy the Golden Empire. If they insist on acting recklessly, they will not only provoke interference from the Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa, but also their own army will not be able to kill outside the Xianmen Pass. The most the British can do is control Afghanistan...then the Golden Empire can still harass Afghanistan!
The British Empire wanted to seek peace, so in the end it had to spend money to eliminate disasters.
In this way, the Golden Empire not only gained benefits, but also gained face. It really killed two birds with one stone!
Seeing fat Daoguang and Lao Heshen's faces showing a hint of evil smile, Zhuge Weidao knew that his "strategic stunt" - fanning the flames had some effect.
Of course, Fat Daoguang and Lao Heshen are both capable of pinching and calculating, and will not immediately send troops to India to beg for food just because Zhuge Weidao fanned the flames. But they obviously have this idea... As long as they have the idea, when they really don't have the money, they will try it out. After a few tests, they will find that the British Empire has no way to deal with them, and they will become more and more courageous.
And if the British Empire finally released a reward to the Kingdom of Jin as Zhuge Weidao expected...then what would those "cowardly Zhuge" people in the Ming Dynasty think? Great Britain is just mediocre.
If Great Britain wants to force its way... maybe it will have to stumble in Afghanistan, the imperial graveyard.
If the British Empire failed in Afghanistan as it did in history, those "cowards" should take action no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to Fat Daoguang: "Mr. Jin, to put it bluntly, you are barefoot and Daying wears shoes. As long as Daying can't kill you, they have to give you money." Who allowed India, the crown jewel of their British Empire, to be right next to your mouth? You can’t eat India, and spitting on it is disgusting!”
"Hahaha..." Fat Daoguang laughed after hearing this. After laughing a few times, he turned to He Shen and said, "He Zhongtang, how much gold do you think we should give to Mr. Zhuge?"
He Shen pretended to touch his arms, and then looked embarrassed, "Master Jin, I came out in a hurry today, what should I do if I don't have any money?"
Fat Daoguang also smiled and said: "This is a big deal...I didn't bring any money."
What does this mean?
Zhuge Weidao was confused by what these two people said. Although the Kingdom of Jin is poor, Fat Daoguang doesn't have to rely on a few hexagram gold! Moreover, the "poverty" of the Great Jin Kingdom was only the lack of hard currency and industrial products, not the lack of valuable specialties. For example, it’s okay to give one or two horses a ride on a sweaty horse or something!
While he was thinking about the sweaty horse, Fat Daoguang suddenly pointed at Fairy Nalan who was waiting next to him and said: "Why don't you let Fairy Nalan follow you, Mr. Zhuge, and use your power as a fortune?"
What? Zhuge Weidao was stunned again and again, and thought to himself: "What do you mean by this fat Daoguang? You just gave me a beautiful woman like a fairy on the pretext that you didn't bring any fortune. Is this a beauty trap or a divorce trap? I just love you." Natalie one!”
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Nalandili again - so beautiful! She and Natalie belong to two different categories. Natalie is a "big beauty". Where she should be big, she is really big and "real"! Fairy Nalan has "fairy spirit". Who has a "plus-size fairy"? No, "plus size" must be the standard for witches. So Natalie is considered the best witch, and Fairy Nalan is the best fairy... Zhuge Weidao thought: "One day a witch, another day a fairy... Is this kind of life too decadent? "
Zhuge Weidao's face became righteous when he thought of "not corruptible". Just when he was about to refuse, Heshen and Dazhongtang spoke first: "Junior brother Zhuge, we people should not tell secrets. The tiger's ass of the British Empire can be It's not easy to touch. If the Zhuge family wants us, Dai Jin, to find out about Daying, of course we can help. But we all know the rules of your Zhuge family... If you can't choose a military advisor, then There’s nothing to say. And Mr. Jin and I sincerely hope that you can be chosen as the military advisor. But your injury... has not been cured, will you choose to be the military advisor?"
An old fox is an old fox! Zhuge Weidaoxin said: "Sure enough, it is not something that can be deceived by a few words. But this military advisor...can I be chosen?"
When the old fox Heshen saw that Zhuge Weidao was silent, he knew that this person was in trouble, so he smiled and pointed at Fairy Nalan, who had a troubled face next to him, and said: "So Mr. Jin wants to help you and let Fairy Nalan follow. You. Don’t underestimate Fairy Nalan. Her abilities are not limited to being a dual cultivator. She can also inquire about information for you, act as your eyes and ears, and can even do things that are inconvenient for you. Junior brother, if you Without amnesia, of course there is no need for her. But now... you should take her with you!"
Take her... back to the Zhuge Family together?
Zhuge Weidao thought: "She can be a spy for me, and she can also be the eyes and ears of the Jin Empire! If we bring her along, will she find out about the secrets of the Zhuge family? But without her... .... There are indeed a few people around me who are available to me! No, it’s not that there are few, but none at all!”
It turns out that Zhuge Weidao must have someone available! But now Zhuge Weidao has forgotten them all. Not only did he forget about people, but he also forgot about how he should become the military advisor of the Zhuge family. This matter seems to be very difficult. Needless to say, there will definitely be infighting... Without a reliable helper, you may not know how you will die.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao looked at Nalandili again. She is indeed a "rare talent". He can use it for himself, and he can also let her help him as a spy to find out information. He can probably also let her teach him how to pinch and count. ability. It's just her relationship with Daoguang and Heshen...
When Zhuge Weidao was undecided, the fat Daoguang spoke again: "If Mr. Zhuge is not at ease with Fairy Nalan, let her swear an oath of inner demons!"
Inner demon oath?
After Zhuge Weidao heard these words, he seriously suspected that King Zhuge Wuzhong must have read a lot of fairy tales and fantasy novels. He looked at Nalandili again and found that the fairy had a look of horror on his face... .Maybe he was frightened by the inner demon, right? I don’t know how the Nalan family deceived this fairy? It's better to scare her again!
"Just an oath from the inner demon is not enough!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Fairy Nalan, please cut a strand of your hair and give it to me!"
Nalandili trembled when she heard this. Is this a curse? Just a heart demon oath is terrifying enough... No one who violates the heart demon oath will end well! Now I have to be cursed by Immortal Zhuge! If I do something sorry to Immortal Zhuge in the future, won't that mean I will die badly?
Just when she was scared, He Shen had already taken out a small knife and handed it to Nalandili, "Fairy Nalan, cut your hair...after you cut it, you will make a demonic oath! From now on, You are Uncle Zhuge’s furnace, you must take good care of him!"
Nalandili took the knife and looked at Zhuge Weidao, who had a serious look on his face - this man is not good at beauty. Fairy Nalandi felt that it would be impossible for her to beg for mercy based on her beauty, and she would probably be in trouble. However, she did not dare to disobey He Shen, because she had also sworn a demonic oath to Emperor Da Jin and placed a curse on him!
Both sides have inner demons and curses... How can we live like this?
So she had to take the knife, then cut off a strand of hair, wrapped it in a handkerchief, walked to Zhuge Weidao, knelt on the ground, held her hair in both hands, and began to swear with tears in her eyes: "Nalandi Li swears by her inner demon to be loyal to Uncle Zhuge until death..."
Zhuge Weidao nodded, put away Nalandili's hair, and then said something that shocked both Fat Daoguang and Heshen: "Nalan, from now on, you will serve the Grand Duchess Natalie. , be her maid!"
