Two days later.
Inside the Young Marshal's Mansion
Outside the balcony of a three-story bungalow, Zhang Xuebing stood with his hands behind his back, and his adjutant stood respectfully behind him.
Not far from the residence was the encampment of his guard battalion.
The encampment was bustling with activity as hundreds of muscular soldiers were training.
These were Zhang Xuebing's personal guards, the most elite troops in the army.
"His aura is not bad, but…This weapon is still a little lacking."
Most of the soldiers were still using the eight-eight style, which was the so-called Hanyang style.
The Eastern twin of the German Mauser rifle had excellent penetration and range.
However, their firepower was still insufficient.
The business he was in contact with was not just fighting with those warlords.
The poisonous insects and foreign objects in the tomb were also good customers.
Zhang Qishan and the others were indeed good at exploring the tomb, but they could increase their military strength and greatly increase their safety.
Moreover, he had led his army to capture Beiping City, which was the former capital.
Among them, there were many treasures left behind by the previous dynasty.
Wouldn't this make the surrounding warlords envious?
Moreover, the special significance of Beiping City made many people miss it.
Although he had taken Beiping with lightning speed, it was peaceful for a few days now.
However, it was possible that some warlords had already begun to act in secret.
Beiping was not easy to defend. He had to get some strong firepower.
With weapons in their hands, other people would not dare to act rashly.
"How did the American merchants reply? Didn't you say that there's a ship full of foreign firearms that you can sell to us?”
Hearing the young commander's greeting, the adjutant quickly came behind Zhang Xuebing respectfully.""Young Marshal, the merchant from America did say that his merchant ship carried a large batch of new firearms.”
"But... Young Marshal, this American merchant's asking price isn't low.”
"No worries." Zhang Xuebing chuckled. No matter which country a businessman was from, they all lived in the eyes of money.
The merchants from America were no exception. They would ask for a sky-high price when they caught a fat sheep.
The price that the merchant offered was not low, but Zhang Xuebing knew that the quality of the firearms was worth the price.
Moreover, he had just obtained the Yin Clan's treasures. Those were all good goods that could be sold for a high price.
Even after deducting the expenses of the firearms, it was still enough to support the salary and training of the army under his command for three months.
"Go ahead and negotiate. Lower the price if you can. Even if you can't, you have to buy all the firearms.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuebing reminded him,"We should leak some information about this matter to the outside world. We should shock the tigers and make those old gangsters who harbor ill intentions toward Beiping stop.”
"This subordinate understands!" The adjutant replied respectfully.
Zhang Xuebing waved his hand at the adjutant and signaled for him to leave immediately.
The adjutant understood. After saluting, he turned around and left.
When he reached the door, the adjutant was surprised to see Zhang Qishan, who had a bad expression, push the door open and enter.
"Lord Zeng." The adjutant greeted him politely, but Zhang Qishan ignored him and rushed to Zhang Xuebing's side.
"Young Marshal…"
Without even looking up, Zhang Xuebing sighed."You came back from the old man?”
"Young Marshal…This time, we have gone a little overboard. As for the marshal…" Zhang Qishan hesitated.
He recalled that Commander Zhang had overturned the mahjong table at the marshal's residence!
The madams were all frightened.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Xuebing sighed,""The old man spent a lot of effort to rope in that overseer, and now he's letting me kill him just like that.”
"We have to be angry for the people below and the people around us to see.”
"I'm an old man, so it's important to give me face! However, my old man has good eyesight. It's fine as long as he makes a scene.”
Looking at Zhang Xuebing's calm expression, Zhang Qishan didn't say anything more, but complained in his heart, It's not that you're angry with the marshal.
However, it was also true that the marshal could not bear to vent his anger on his son.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first.”Zhang Qishan respectfully bowed to Zhang Xuebing. He turned around and left.
"Mount Qi." But at this moment, Zhang Xuebing suddenly called out to him.
"What other instructions do you have, Major?" Zhang Qishan turned around and stood still.
"How are the sales of the Yin family's things?”
Hearing Zhang Xuebing's question, Zhang Qishan replied,""These are all hard goods. Many people are looking forward to it. The market is smooth. Now, most of them have been exchanged for silver notes and big yuan.”
"Not bad." " Yes." Zhang Xuebing nodded with satisfaction." I asked for a ship full of firearms from America. You should know our current situation."”
"You should also know the significance of this batch of firearms.”
"I've already sent my adjutant to inform the American merchants about this matter, but I'm still a little worried.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qishan's heart was clear: ""Understood, Major. You want me to help the adjutant?”
"I'm not helping. I'm handing this matter to you. You must ensure the safety of this batch of firearms.”
Zhang Qi Shan's heart warmed. To be valued so highly by the young marshal, he was extremely happy in his heart: "It's the Major! I will definitely do this well!"
Finished talking, Zhang Qishan also turned around and left, chasing after the adjutant from earlier.
Watching Zhang Qishan leave, Zhang Xuebing turned around again.
In his eyes, he was still looking at the bustling military camp, but in his heart, he was thinking about something else.
After the two of them left, another person entered the room.
This person was the battalion commander of Zhang Xuebing's personal guard camp, and could be considered one of Zhang Xuebing's subordinates.
After entering the room, the battalion commander respectfully said,"Young Marshal, I have already followed your orders and secretly prepared for several days. The personal guard unit can move at any time.”
"Very good." The corner of Zhang Xuebing's mouth curled up slightly.”
The secret gathering of the personal guard unit was naturally aimed at Malan Valley.
Although the American merchant had already agreed to the arms deal, he was still a little worried.
However, the price had not been agreed upon. Once Zhang Qishan left, it would probably take some time for the transaction to be completed. He did not know if this batch of firearms could catch up with his departure.
However, Sun Dianying would not give him time to wait.
The army was ready to attack. The Demon Empress 'tomb at Malan Valley had already made Sun Dianying's heart and eyes go wild.
Who knew when he would lead his subordinates to dig the tomb.
However, Sun Jingui didn't know that this oriole had been waiting for a long time!
As long as he could obtain the treasures of the Eastern Qing Tomb, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds!
At that time, he could order more firearms from America. There was still a huge gap in the army, and with food and pay, he could naturally expand again.
After all, there were still those pigs from the Dwarf Kingdom outside the pass, drooling and staring at Beiping City.
This time, they definitely could not let the Dwarf Country take a single step into Shanhai Pass!
