Jiang Tian has not yet set off.
General Li Yuanhao of Western Xia came to visit again.
The Northern Liang Imperial Palace.
The study room has been vacated.
The current Imperial Study of the Northern Liang is exclusively for Jiang Tian's use.
Li Yuanhao knelt respectfully before Jiang Tian.
"My lord, I have a request."
"Speak."
“I watched the whole war between the Kushan and the Kushan Empire, my lord.”
"Get straight to the point, don't waste time with nonsense."
"Your muskets are impressive. We, the Western Xia, would like to purchase some muskets and cannons to attack the Kushans."
“Okay…” Jiang Tian nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhao was overjoyed.
If they could acquire muskets and cannons, the Western Xia would no longer need to fear other neighboring countries.
“Send someone to the capital of Great Xia to find Song Yingxing and buy it from him.”
Li Yuanhao knew that Western Xia was several thousand miles away from the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Sir, I see that the troops you are leading are equipped with some pretty good muskets. Could you sell me some of them?"
Jiang Tian shook his head: "I only took 2,000 liters with me to Rakshasa. The journey was extremely dangerous."
These muskets and cannons are only for my self-defense.
"I forgot to tell you something." Jiang Tian glanced at Li Yuanhao kneeling on the ground.
Li Yuanhao quickly knelt up straight, pricking up his ears to listen carefully.
“The Rakshasa are all vicious people. They are equipped with muskets and cannons.” Jiang Tian picked up his teacup and took a sip. “I personally saw that all 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers had muskets and they were equipped with thousands of cannons.”
"These 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers wiped out the Xianbei in less than a month."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhao was immediately taken aback.
The Xianbei were on par with the Western Xia in terms of strength.
Both countries primarily relied on cavalry, and their populations were roughly the same.
"My lord, are you saying that the Xianbei were captured by the Rakshasa Kingdom within a month?" Li Yuanhao asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Not a month, less than a month."
200,000 people, each with a musket, and also equipped with 1,000 cannons.
Just hearing that number is enough to make the other person's scalp tingle.
Li Yuanhao, Duan Yanqing, and the Tibetan prince and national teacher had all seen the map that Jiang Tian had given them.
On that map.
The Rakshasa Kingdom was vast, its territory hundreds of times larger than that of the Western Xia.
The Rakshasa Kingdom was dozens of times larger than the Kushan Kingdom.
Moreover, as long as the Russians march south, it won't be long before they can reach the Western Xia.
Li Yuanhao simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Rakshasa Kingdom attacked the Western Xia.
Just then, Ji Yanran from the World Society walked over.
"My lord, I have something to say to you." Ji Yanran glanced at Li Yuanhao, and the young girl immediately hesitated to speak.
"What kind of news?"
"News from the Rakshasa Kingdom."
"Then just say it here. It won't matter if General Li Yuanhao hears it."
"Empress Catherine of Russia dispatched Prince Kutuzov to personally lead an army of 200,000 southwards."
Li Yuanhao was shocked when he heard this.
If this 200,000-strong army were to attack their Western Xia, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He certainly didn't want Western Xia to be destroyed within a month.
"My lord, what should we do?"
"I'll deal with them first. You guys buy guns if you need to, and cannons if you need to."
"The 200,000-strong army has been lured away. I'll say it again: you deal with the Kushans first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhao immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jiang Tian.
"If you can lure away the Russian soldiers, you will be the savior of our Western Xia."
From top to bottom, we, the people of Western Xia, are deeply grateful to you, sir.
Jiang Tian waved his hand: "Remember, you have two tasks now. One is to send someone to contact Lord Song to purchase weapons."
"Another task is to form a coalition to attack the Kushan Empire."
"Only by defeating Gui Shuang can we have an inexhaustible supply of grain and silver."
Li Yuanhao nodded: "But with only 2,000 men, can you handle an army of 200,000?"
"Ten years ago, our Western Xia and the Russian Kingdom had a contact."
"The firearms of the Rakshasa Kingdom are exceptionally powerful."
"I said I would first try to lure them away, and then head north to the Xiongnu, the 16 kingdoms of the grasslands."
I think the Huns also wanted to kill the Russians.
Ji Yanran stepped forward: "General Li, do you not trust our lord? If you don't trust him, then go and deal with the Rakshasa yourselves now."
Upon hearing Ji Yanran's words, Li Yuanhao quickly waved his hands, saying, "Please calm down, my lord, I'll go right now."
Li Yuanhao got up from the ground and quickly retreated.
Li Yuanhao had just left.
Duan Yanqing walked in.
Before Duan Yanqing could kneel down, the Tibetan prince and the Tibetan national teacher also entered.
"Why is my study so lively today?"
What brings you here?
Duan Yanqing and the Tibetan prince exchanged glances, stammering for a long time without saying anything.
"What I hate most is people who stutter and stammer when they speak. My time is limited, so hurry up and say what you have to say, or I'm leaving."
The two of them quickly spoke in unison.
"Sir, we have come here only to purchase some muskets and cannons."
Jiang Tian guessed the purpose of these two people's visit.
Jiang Tian demonstrated the power of muskets and cannons in his dealings with the Kushans.
This power remained unforgettable for them.
These people naturally wanted to buy some muskets and cannons to take back with them.
"Li Yuanhao also came to see me just now."
"If you want to buy muskets and cannons, it's very simple. Just send someone to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Lord Song is in charge of this matter. You can buy it by going to Lord Song."
The three were incredibly excited, and they quickly got up from the ground.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"I forgot to tell you, Li Yuanhao has already set off to deal with the Kushan Kingdom."
"The Kushan Empire is rich in gold and silver."
"Don't wait until everyone has finished looting before you set off."
"Then everyone else will be eating meat, and you won't even get the soup."
"Don't worry, sir. We were already on our way, but after thinking about it, we decided it would be safer to have some muskets and cannons on hand."
Jiang Tian waved to them, signaling them to leave.
The three men kowtowed three times to Jiang Tian before retreating.
They all want to buy muskets and cannons; it seems we have to make a killing off them.
"Ji Yanran prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I will write a letter to Song Yingxing."
"promise……"
"Ji Yanran, did the other side really mobilize 200,000 troops?"
Ji Yanran nodded: "It is said that this time it is led by their Duke Kutuzov and Bolkonsky at the same time."
