The guest room of the royal palace, the residence of Yue Qing.
Qin Yun strode over. The maid standing outside the door was about to speak out, but was interrupted by Qin Yun. He waved his hand, and the two young maids bowed and retreated.
Qin Yun put his hands behind his back and was about to enter the room when he saw Yue Qing leaning against the window, drawing something carefully and carefully with a pen.
Today, Yue Qing is wearing a purple palace dress, which is elegant and gentle. The dim candlelight echoes the moonlight shining outside the window, as if a thin veil is wrapped around her body.
Her eyes were bright, her eyelashes were long, and her dark eyebrows sometimes rose and sometimes stretched, and she felt that someone was coming.
"Put the paper over there!"
"I said, put the paper over there and don't disturb me."
Qin Yun's magnetic voice came out: "What are you painting, so serious?"
As if she had stolen a fishy cat, Yue Qing hurriedly stuffed a pile of rice paper on the table under the table, shaking her head like a rattle.
"nothing!"
"How did you come?"
Qin Yun strode forward, causing a gust of wind.
"let me see!"
Yue Qing had an idea and sprinkled the ink on the table on the rice paper, and deliberately put some on his chest and clothes.
"I'm just painting some pictures. There's nothing interesting to see. I need to take a shower and change clothes. If you have nothing to do, just leave as soon as possible!"
Qin Yun smiled, then stepped forward and grabbed Yue Qing's small waist, which was barely a fistful of his waist. He looked at the little cat in front of him with aggression in his eyes.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Yue Qing looked panicked and lacked confidence. In fact, she was secretly drawing the weapons and equipment she had seen these days. Although she could only draw the appearance, she could take it back to the Yue craftsmen to study it, and they might not be able to figure out the reason. Come.
Although she has that kind of relationship with Qin Yun, she is the King of Yue after all, and she can figure out what is more important and less important.
You can't lose your country for a beautiful man...
Qin Yun reached out and lifted up Yue Qing's skirt, only to find that there were a lot of papers hidden underneath. He picked up a piece at random, glanced at it, and pointed out the shortcomings on it.
"This continuous machine gun of yours has missing parts, buckles, and sights. How can it be accurate? There is also a gun wire inside the barrel and a water-cooling cycle outside. You haven't drawn the bullet chain or the trigger well. You didn’t even mark it…”
Yue Qing was ashamed and tried to break away from Qin Yun's big hand.
"let me go!"
Qin Yun asked jokingly: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, do you need to explain what these are?"
Yue Qing smiled awkwardly: "I was just painting it for fun, don't take it seriously, I'll burn it right away."
"Don't mention it, that's boring, but manufacturing this thing requires more than just drawings. It requires dozens of departments, thousands of processes, and professional talents to build it."
"Even if you take them and take a year and a half each, you still won't be able to build them."
Yue Qing snorted coldly: "I want you to take care of it!"
Qin Yun held Yue Qing and sat in front of the table, but his big hands became dishonest.
"Of course I have to take care of it, after all, who made you the king's woman!"
Yue Qing's pretty face turned red and her breathing became a little rapid.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Qin Yun got straight to the point: "The purpose of coming here today is very simple, that is to continue to deepen cooperation with the Yue Kingdom. I want to sign an offensive and defensive alliance with your Yue Kingdom. If any party is attacked by an external force, the other party will unconditionally carry out the offensive and defensive alliance, including manpower and material resources. Support including financial resources.”
"What do you think?"
Yue Qing is not stupid, she is not a little girl who can be dressed up by others. She has been in power for several years, so she can naturally weigh the pros and cons.
"You, Qiongzhou, cannot be said to be poor and destitute. At the very least, you are in dire straits waiting to be prospered. Why do you want to use the resources of my country for free?"
Qin Yun picked up Yue Qing and put him on the bed: "How can this be considered free prostitution? Just like this, I will send 20 continuous machine guns to Yue, 50 artillery pieces of various types, and 300,000 rounds of bullets."
Yue Qing asked suspiciously: "Are you so kind?"
Qin Yun said with a smile: "I have already obtained the national treasure of the Yue Kingdom, so what does this little thing mean?"
Yue Qing opened Qin Yun's hands.
"If you want to talk about business, just say it nicely and don't touch it."
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Okay, let's talk about business first."
Yue Qing pondered: "Do you want me to send troops from across the country to attack Ryukyu?"
Qin Yun said: "Yes, after Ryukyu is conquered, you and I will manage it together. In this way, Yue Kingdom, Ryukyu, and Qiongzhou will form an island chain."
Yue Qing's eyes were clear: "It's impossible for Fuso to ignore Ryukyu. It's not impossible for Wu Guoguo to unite with Fuso to start a war with Yue."
"And as far as I know, the person behind the Wu Kingdom is the Daxia Court. Are you going to go against the Daxia Court?"
Qin Yun smiled: "It doesn't matter whether the Great Xia court is behind Wu State. What's important is whether you want to be the king of Dongjun. I think among the seven countries of Dongjun, Wu State doesn't have the ability to win. With my support, The unification of the Dongjun Peninsula by the Yue Kingdom is just around the corner."
Yue Qing's eyes lit up: "An armored ship?"
Qin Yun smiled: "No problem, one hundred million taels of silver!"
Yue Qing rolled his eyes: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Qin Yun seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Aren't I about to take action? Consider sending troops to Ryukyu. From now on, you and I, one to the south and one to the east, will dominate the ocean!"
"Who will marry you? You are just my male favorite."
Qin Yun: "Then, Your Majesty, are you willing to send troops?"
Yue Qing chuckled: "Then it depends on your performance!"
Qin Yun waved his sleeves, closed the window, and lowered the bed curtain. After a while, he only heard the old wooden bed making a "creak, creak" sound.
…
After a hearty fierce battle, Yue Qing, sweating profusely, reached a verbal agreement with Qin Yun.
Agreement 1, Qiongzhou supports Vietnam with weapons, including but not limited to continuous machine guns, and helps Vietnam renovate large ships and install artillery,
Agreement 2: The State of Yue provided a loan worth a total of 200 million taels of silver to Qiongzhou, using Qiongzhou No. 1 as collateral. If the loan could not be repaid within two years, No. 1 Qiongzhou would be owned by the State of Yue.
You know, 200 million taels of silver is already all the money that the Yue Kingdom can use. It is no exaggeration to say that Yue Qing is gambling on the fate of the country.
But compared to the vast land of East County, what is a mere amount of silver? Instead of keeping the money in the warehouse as compensation, it is better to use it for armaments.
Just a few days ago, I heard from the Queen Mother that Wu had annexed Yan, Yun, and Houchen, and the remaining small countries had surrendered to Wu.
Now Wu State's 200,000 soldiers are on the border of Wu and Yue. This is why Yue Qing is anxious to secretly draw blueprints. Yue State alone cannot defeat Wu State.
Fortunately, after Wu Guo captured the remaining five countries, it would also need time to digest the results of the battle and stabilize the rear. Yue Guo must take advantage of this window period to have sufficient self-protection capabilities.
The next day, Yue Qing was about to leave directly to return to Wu. Of course, to be on the safe side, Qin Yun arranged for a battalion of sergeants to protect her when she returned home.
"After the Beginning of Winter, the Yue River will gradually freeze. By then, the Wu State will definitely attack the Yue State through the ice, so the attack on Ryukyu must be fast, preferably before the Beginning of Winter."
On the parting dock, Yue Qing said earnestly.
Qin Yun counted the days: "About a month, about the same."
Yue Qing looked at the man in front of her with a little reluctance. She also knew that there were so many beauties around Qin Yun. One more than her would be enough, and one without her would be a lot. Maybe many years later, Qin Yun would not remember her at all. people.
Yue Qing shook his head. She was the daughter of the Yue family and the king of the Yue Kingdom. How could she indulge in an affair between her children?
She took the initiative to stand next to Qin Yun, stood on tiptoes, and said close to his ear: "Remember, you stole the national treasure of the Yue Kingdom, and you will have to repay it with a guilty heart in this life!"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "See you in a month!"
As he spoke, he slapped Yue Qing's buttocks hard. The latter snorted and kicked Qin Yun in the lower body. Fortunately, Qin Yun blocked it quickly.
"You little girl, don't leave!"
Yue Qing jumped on the big boat and made a face: "Come up if you can!"
Qin Yun shook his head helplessly. It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. Who doesn't want to indulge in Wenrou Township all day long and be a bastard waiting to die?
But now he couldn't stop.
Qin Yun turned around to face the livelihood of millions of people in Qiongzhou and the hopes of all the people of Great Xia.
He walked towards the arsenal with firm eyes.
