Marin was very obscene, and in order to disgust the Ottoman Turks, when he ordered the craftsmen to copy it, he not only copied all the core parts such as the size and bolt structure of the Rumi gun. Even the Middle Eastern-style pattern on the barrel was ordered to be imitated. Anyway, it's not a hassle.

The only difference is probably the difference in the barrel forging process. The Rumi gun is similar to the Spanish Mushkert musket, which is made of double or even triple layers of iron sheets rolled up and repeatedly heated and beaten. Later, the Ming Dynasty, which introduced Lu Mi Gong, also adopted this process.

However, this process of hammering the barrel takes a very long time, and it takes several months to forge a qualified barrel, which is very costly. And if it doesn't take that long, the quality of the barrel ...... Just look at the reaction of the Ming army musketeers in the late Ming Dynasty...... They didn't dare to use the guns issued by the imperial court, and even if they did, they didn't dare to fill them with gunpowder......

Marin, on the other hand, uses 17th-century craftsmanship, learned from the previous video "The Gunsmith of Williamsburg", which is forged from a thicker wrought iron plate. This forging method is very time-saving, and in one day, a skilled blacksmith can forge a barrel, and the efficiency is dozens of times higher than the old method. Although this method requires a high quality of iron plates, there is no problem at all for Marin, who can make steel.

As a result, the manufacturing cost of Marin's Beihai State Gun Factory is much lower than that of other countries. This, of course, refers to the creation of the same musket. After all, the North Sea Country now uses a more expensive clockwork musket. Because of the complexity of the clockwork bolt and the high cost, the cost of the clockwork lighter made in the North Sea is not cheaper than the arquebus used in other countries. Even, it's a lot higher. Of course, the practicality is also high compared to other countries.

After studying the Rumi Gun, Marin discovered a problem. That is, the Lumi gun is relatively long!

The Rumi gun was probably learned from the Spanish Mushket musket, and its length is about the same as that of the Spanish Mushkert musket, which is about 2 meters. However, the caliber was lowered a lot. In this way, the Lumi-gun does not need to be difficult to operate alone, as is the case with the Spanish Mushket musket. Because, this kind of transformation has reduced the weight of the Lu Mi gun a lot.

The original Mushket musket weighed about 10 kilograms, that is, 20 catties. Because of the design of reducing the caliber, the weight of the Lu Mi gun has been reduced a lot, and it is only more than ten catties. In the Ming Dynasty, the weight of the projectile was reduced to about 15 grams, and the weight of the whole gun was only six or seven catties......

Because of the long barrel, it is more than 40 centimeters longer than the 1.58 meters of the whole gun length of the Beihai Kingdom. As a result, the range of the Lumi gun is longer, reaching about 150 meters. Of course, this doesn't mean much. Because, as long as it is a smoothbore gun, after more than 100 yards, the bullets will fly randomly. If it hits you, it means that the bullet is related to you......

Of course, on a crowded frontal battlefield, the extra power is still useful. After all, the extra bullet flying increases the chances of being hit by some unlucky guy......

……

In fact, it was also very profitable to provide the Mamluks of Egypt with Rumi Gunmarin. Because of the difference in the barrel forging process, the cost of Marin's firearms is much lower than that of other countries.

For example, the price of an arquebus in the European market is about 16~18 shillings (5 shillings = 1 gold coin), or even more than 20 shillings (that is, 1 pound). Because of the difficulty of forging the barrel, the manufacturing cost is generally 10 shillings upwards. After all, that's a few months of hard work.

Marlin uses the 17th-century barrel forging process, which makes the barrel completed in one day, and the cost is reduced several times. In this way, if it is to make arquebuses, regardless of the expensive steel barrel machine, the manufacturing cost of the arquebus in the North Sea Kingdom is only three or four shillings.

But Marin sold to the Mamluks of Egypt, and it will certainly not be given at cost price. Even if you sell them for 10 shillings, you will have more than double the profit. If you sell it for 15 shillings, you will make double the profit......

Marin thought about it and decided to sell it to the Mamluks of Egypt at a price of 15 shillings each. This price is slightly lower than the market price, but Marin can still make a lot of money. And, because it's below the market price, Egypt will be happy. In this way, the two companies are also a win-win situation.

……

The craftsmen of the Beihai Gun Factory are all experienced craftsmen, and even the complex clockwork lighter can be early, let alone the arquebus? So, they quickly copied the Rumi gun and asked Marlin to test the results.

At the shooting range, Marin watched the shooting effect and found that in addition to the reduced power caused by the reduction of caliber, its accuracy was no less than that of the Mushkert musket.

Marin rewarded the craftsmen and ordered the gun factory to start copying the Lumi gun on a large scale. At the same time, he sent representatives to Egypt to sell this arquebus to the Mamluks. Not in the name of the North Sea State, of course, but in the name of a certain Chamber of Commerce. Even, Marin intended to sell Rumi to Egypt in the name of the Spaniards. In this way, even if the Turks go crazy, they will only hate the Spaniards. The Turkish-occupied Kingdom of Naples and the Spanish-occupied Kingdom of Naples were separated only by a narrow strait, so perhaps the two countries would fight......

Of course, the Mamluks of Egypt certainly did not believe that the Spaniards would sell them muskets. Because, the two countries have long turned their faces on the issue of Indian spice trade. But Marin would ask the delegates to ask the Mamluks of Egypt to cooperate in publicizing that it was Spanish merchants who had given them firearms. Because, in this way, it was conducive to sowing discord between Spain and Ottoman Turkey. If the two countries fought, the Mamluks would probably wake up laughing from their dreams.

As soon as I finished trying Lu Mi Gong, Liver Fu Shuizi came to Nobunaga with Liver Fu in his arms......

Marin was testing the gun at a shooting range outside the city, after all, it is easy to accidentally injure people if bullets fly around the city. And Liver Fu Shuizi now lives outside the city, and he didn't dare to live in the city, mainly because he was afraid that Angela would be angry. When she happened to learn that Marin was out of the city and it was not far from the manor where she lived, Liver Fu Shuizi hurriedly came up with the child in her arms......

Marin had a good temperament, and he didn't say anything, and he reported that Nobunaga kissed him. After all, it's your own kind anyway.

Seeing the handfuls of Lu Mi guns that Ma Lin was carrying, Liver Fu Shuizi's eyes suddenly brightened:

"Husband, this is the invincible firearm of the Beihai ** team, right? Can you equip Nobunaga's army with some as well? ”

Having lived in Beihai for so long, he also learned German. By inquiring with the steward of the manor where he was located, he also learned that Marin's family history was based on a phalanx dominated by muskets......

Therefore, Hitofu Mizuko is also looking forward to her son Nobunaga being able to have a unit that uses this firearm in the future.

At the beginning, she still remembers the scene when Marin rescued her in Japanese waters, and the hostile samurai who pursued her were quickly slaughtered by the musketeers on Marin's ship.

From that day on, Liver Fu Shuizi understood a truth, no matter how high your martial arts are, in the face of the musket, you have to be finished. In Marin's original words, it was "no matter how good the kung fu is, you can knock it down with one shot"......

The struggle for hegemony in Japan's Warring States is still in the era of samurai hegemony. Basically, it's a small group of samurai with a large group of farmers fighting each other. But the core of the war was still the samurai, and if the samurai were killed, the peasant ashigaru would soon flee.

Therefore, Mizuko Hitofu hoped that Marin would provide her with a large number of muskets to equip soldiers loyal to her son Nobunaga to use to kill the samurai of the hostile forces......
