"Who sold them the weapons in the south?"

"It's our—the imperial court."

"Your court?"

I was stunned for a moment, raised my head and looked at Qinghan, and understood immediately.

Indeed, it is almost impossible for private individuals to provide weapons that can support a war. Only in this way can weapons made by government mining and casting of iron ore reach such a scale.

In other words, the other party that sold the weapons to the six southern provinces to support their rebellion was the Franco Kingdom.

However, why did the French court sell so many weapons to the rebel forces in the south? Or is there some collusion between them?

When I thought of this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. After listening to my question, Uncle Gui smiled softly and said, "Miss Yue, you are worrying too much. This is a business.

Business people only seek money. The reason why our court does this business is because we need money very much."

"Why?"

"This, haha, I'm a little embarrassed to say it." He said: "We have been fighting wars with our neighboring countries for many years before. We have exhausted all our money and the people's livelihood at home is very bleak, so we are encouraged to go overseas.

Doing business."

"Oh..."

"Our court will also participate in some large-scale transactions."

So that’s it.

Hearing him say this, Qing Han, who was sitting opposite, breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Yuanhao and I have been worried about the collusion between Nanfang and Xichuan. It seems that there should be no collusion between the South and Xichuan. If this is just a business, it will be easier to deal with. At least a sea ban will be implemented immediately, and the cargo of passing ships will be strictly inspected.

This can prevent such problems from happening.

But——

Hearing his last words, I seemed to feel something. Just when I was about to ask him, Uncle Gui seemed to have remembered something and said casually: "Even the big business that happened more than 20 years ago, although

I was just the one pulling the strings, but it was also the biggest deal our imperial court made with the South, and I got a lot of money."

When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved: "Twenty years ago?"

"Yes." He took a sip of the weird-smelling tea soup, smacked his lips, and nodded with a rather proud look in his eyes: "That's the biggest business I've done in the past few years since I came to China."

I suddenly felt a little numb in my back and looked at him with wide eyes: "What are you selling?"

Qinghan raised his head and glanced at me.

Even Uncle Gui felt something strange. He raised his head and looked at me and smiled: "Miss Yue, why do I feel that you care more about the business that happened more than 20 years ago than the current affairs?"
p>

I was startled for a moment, and then smiled, but the smile was somewhat forced: "If this matter wasn't important, Uncle Gui wouldn't have remembered it and brought it up for so long, wouldn't he?"

Looking into my eyes, he nodded slowly.

"The girl has really sharp eyes."

"Excellent award."

"Indeed, that business was indeed very important. Even after so many years, there has never been such a large business."

"Oh?" I frowned slightly and said, "What exactly are you selling? Is it a weapon?"

Uncle Ghost's expression became a little solemn. He was silent for a while and said slowly: "Although it is a weapon, it is different from the weapons you know."

It is a weapon, but it is different from the weapons we know.

What does this mean?

Seeing both of us looking at him in confusion, Uncle Ghost smiled, stood up and walked to the window on the other side of the house. He opened the curtain a little and could see the low wall in the backyard and not far behind the low wall.

, people coming and going in the alley. Uncle Ghost said: "Have you seen those people?"

"Yeah."

"With the weapons you know, if you want to kill those people, you can kill up to five at a time."

"..."

"And the weapons sold that time were meant to kill at least fifty of these people at a time."

Qinghan and I suddenly took a breath of air.

The people I have seen who are highly skilled in martial arts, such as Huang Tianba and Luo Shi, their golden mark and locust stone are magic weapons that are always accurate, but they cannot kill five people with one shot; and they are as unpredictable as Yan Wuyu.

, his whisk cannot kill people as well as mowing grass, but the weapon Uncle Gui mentioned can actually kill at least fifty people in one shot!

What kind of terrifying weapon is that!

"What exactly are you talking about?"

Uncle Ghost pondered for a while and said slowly: "It is a kind of firearm. When it was first produced, it was called a Franco machine gun."

Qinghan and I were speechless for a moment.

Artillery!

Speaking of which, the Celestial Dynasty is not without it, but gunpowder is mainly used in mountain building and construction. It has just begun to be used in warfare in the past hundred years, but it has not achieved the effect of destroying the world. That year in Huyue Gorge

, Pei Yuanhao mobilized the Zhoushan Navy to fire thousands of artillery pieces, but they only destroyed one ship.

It's completely different from the Franco machine artillery that Uncle Gui mentioned.

Qinghan was still shocked. He had lived a peaceful life in a fishing village for half of his life. Even though he later experienced the death of his family and earth-shaking changes, he had never been exposed to such a thing. His whole face looked a little pale.

Uncle Ghost was in a daze.

And I...

As I sat there, my originally cold fingers were now hot from the warm temperature in the cup, and my palms were covered with cold sweat.

And in my heart, the shadow that was just faintly emerging slowly spread out at this moment, and really appeared in front of my eyes, blocking my light.

I have never seen what he mentioned, and I hardly dare to imagine what kind of firearm is more terrifying than ghosts. But judging from his description, if such a thing is used in war, it can be said to be almost invincible.<

/p>

But what’s behind the invincibility? Does it mean that countless “fifty” lives will be lost to such a sharp weapon?

A war is originally a pile of flesh and blood. Just the fighting of swords and the fighting between people will already leave corpses strewn in the fields and rivers of blood. If those horrific firearms are involved in the war, will it affect the entire battlefield?

Will everything turn into a cruel Shura field and a hell on earth?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

And all people will sink into hell and become countless innocent souls.

When I think of this, I just feel a chill on my back.

This is so terrible!

Seeing Qinghan and I sitting in a daze, Uncle Gui seemed to want to say something else, then he heard the young man outside calling softly, as if another customer came to the door. He nodded apologetically, turned around and walked out.

.

Only Qinghan and I were left in the room. He was covered in cold sweat. He raised his head and looked at me, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you asked such a question."

"..."

"Otherwise, if such a murder weapon is used by them, then——"

He shuddered and said in horror: "How many people will die!"

……

I looked at him steadily and suddenly felt a little at ease.

He has been worried about things in the south. With the war between the north and the south, his long-standing plans will be wiped out. But after hearing such news, his first concern is human life.

However, the people who buy these murder weapons don’t think so.

Qinghan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Huh? What Uncle Ghost just said seems to be those things sold more than 20 years ago."

"Yeah."

"More than twenty years ago..."

Seeing his frowning expression, it was very difficult to think about it. We have almost forgotten what happened more than 20 years ago. Unless it is some unforgettable memory, it will always be engraved in my mind. I can still vaguely remember it.

I remember it very well, because at that time, it was the first battle between Xichuan and the imperial court since I can remember.

That battle is blurred in many people's memories, and more people remember it as the second war between Xichuan and the imperial court.

In other words, after the failure of that battle, Xichuan began to pay tribute to the imperial court.

Including women...

Thinking of this, I suddenly shivered, as if I was very cold, and I clenched the still slightly hot cup with both hands.

The room suddenly became quiet.
