【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!

De Mons just wanted to answer, but Shi Tinglan suddenly spoke up and said, "Don't worry about this matter first, let's come back and talk about this steamship!" ”

When she was in Tianjing, the foreign brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said that these steamships were superb, although they did not understand what kind of terrible things they were, but she knew one thing very well, such steamships, even if they were only modified merchant ships, were now a devastating advantage for the surface power of the entire Chinese country.

This steamer can not only be used to suppress the coastal pirates, attack the fleets of Ge Wu and Ye Niangzi, and even be used to attack the sailors of the Heavenly Kingdom, and after a few years of decay, the Celestial Sailors have not much combat power left, if such a destructive force is added, then Tianjing on the Yangtze River will become very dangerous.

Her suggestion is very reasonable: "I think that the emperor of the Qing Demon can exert pressure on the merchants of Ningbo, and the Chinese people in such a steamship will not be cāo, and a large number of foreigners must be hired!" ”

De Mons agreed with her suggestion: "I have already hired a crew of crew now, so that even if the Ningbo people get this ship, they will not be able to get their hands on it quickly, but there are too many adventurers in Shanghai!" ”

"That's right!" Shi Tinglan immediately said: "That's right, now the emperor of the Qing Demon is most concerned about these foreign steamers, not to mention that there are still foreigners on the ship, if you go back to Shanghai, immediately find someone to write a book, and handle this matter well." ”

Although a steamship like this entered the port of Shanghai in the 1840s, it was still in 1867 that it really gained legal status in China, and Shi Tinglan's suggestion was quite feasible, but Liu Chang knew that all the old rules had become powerless under the pressure of reality: "This is only a delay of a month or two, Your Excellency the Earl of Desmonds, it is important that we must have our own steamer, even if it is a paddle steamer!" ”

"No problem, I'll do it as soon as I get back to Shanghai, but you'll have to pay me a deposit."

The last time he took twenty boxes of opium from Liu Chang as payment, and now Liu Chang still has a considerable amount of deposit on his side, but to buy a steamship in this era, even a merchant ship needs tens of thousands of silver yuan to pay.

Liu Chang came down and asked the question again: "What arms and impeachment medicine did you bring this time?" ”

De Mons smiled: "You may not be satisfied with the weapon I brought this time, but I will satisfy you, I only brought a thousand flintlock pistols!" ”

"A thousand?" Liu Chang was taken aback by this number: "Is there really a thousand?" ”

"That's right! That's a thousand strokes! De Mons confirmed this fact: "Not a single firing pistol, not a single Mini rifle, not a single artillery, only a thousand flintlock pistols!" ”

A thousand flintlock muskets are enough, if an infantry company needs ninety rifles, then a thousand flintlock muskets can equip a complete infantry regiment, Liu Changzheng urgently needs flintlock muskets to equip his infantry and auxiliary troops: "Okay, let's calculate according to the original price!" ”

The price of this 1,000-piece flintlock pistol was surprisingly low, and it was De Mons who caught up with good luck and bought it directly from a European cargo ship, which was loaded with retired rifles shipped from Europe, and because the shipowner was in a hurry to ship, a flintlock pistol was only priced at six silver yuan - for Europeans of this era, flintlock pistols were no different from scrap metal, and De Mons successfully bought a whole thousand flintlock pistols, while the price he sold to Liu Chang was as high as 25 silver yuan a shot.

"No problem!" Therefore, De Mons told Liu Chang very proudly: "In addition, I also brought 10,000 yuan of ammunition medicine, from flintlock pistols to shooting pistols and Minny rifles, there are matching ammunition medicines, which is enough for you to fight a big battle!" ”

In the battle to march into Taizhou, although only a few big battles were fought, the consumption of impeachment ammunition was quite large, fortunately, now Liu Chang can produce granular gunpowder by himself, and he has captured a lot of raw materials in several battles, but even so, it still consumes one-third of the ammunition carried by the troops.

As for the firing pistol, Mini rifle, it is necessary to use a fire cap, ** and fixed ammunition, after consumption, you can only rely on imports, Liu Chang is very satisfied with the result this time: "Very good, then I will pay you 40,000 silver yuan, I suggest that we can take a very flexible payment method!" ”…,

De Mons suggested that Liu Chang pay him more for the goods: "You must know that the purchase price you gave to Baoshun is 150,000 silver yuan, in this case, you had better provide more cash, at least let the owner know that we can afford to pay the 150,000 silver yuan, and if we buy a steamship in Guangdong, we will also need a lot of cash." ”

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment and re-proposed his plan: "Then we still adopt a very flexible payment method!" ”

The so-called very flexible payment method, of course, refers to the export of opium to the port of Shanghai, which is a payment method for the benefit of others, and in the battle between Taiping and Xianju, Liu Chang obtained a part of the tobacco, which can be said to bring together all the opium that can be seen in the market of China.

From Gongban soil to Jinhua soil, Persian opium, Calcutan soil, now Liu Chang has more than 70 boxes in his hands, and there are more than 40 boxes in Panshi Village.

Now Liu Chang is ready to hand over more than 40 boxes of opium to De Mengs, although in a sense, it will be more beneficial to sell these opiums in Zhejiang, but the speed of the shot is too slow, and Liu Chang has been determined to ban opium in his control area, so he can only go against the maximization of economic interests and export them to Shanghai Port through De Mengs.

He gave Demons a very favorable price, ordering only 30,000 silver yuan for more than 40 boxes of opium of various colors, and then paying 15,000 silver yuan in cash.

De Mons was more than happy to have such a trade.

Although these more than 40 boxes of opium are not easy to sell, he sold 20 boxes of the best selling public class soil last time, and only two-thirds of them have been sold now, but the problem is the profit.

The price Liu Chang gave was a price that could not be obtained in Haikou, Guangdong, as long as he shipped the opium to Shanghai, he could earn nearly double the profit, and 15,000 silver yuan could be used as working capital, and there were few foreign companies in Shanghai that could take out 15,000 silver yuan at any time.

What's more, he originally owed Liu Chang almost 10,000 silver yuan, and this time he only brought goods worth 35,000 silver yuan (the cost was only 10,000 silver yuan), but he was able to transport at least 45,000 silver yuan worth of opium and cash from Liu Chang, and the profits of such a trade could not be higher for him.

Not to mention that the opium worth 30,000 silver yuan arrived in Shanghai, at least double the price or more, and the transportation of tea and other special products in Panshizhai also made a considerable profit, not to mention that he also had a large order for a steamship.

At the thought of this, De Mons felt like he was holding his breath, he had never made so much profit in a single transaction: "I believe that our cooperation has been as pleasant as it is today. ”

This time the deal became quicker, and it took both parties only a few hours to complete all the details of the deal, both of which were already familiar with it, and on the other hand, both parties were eager to close the deal as soon as possible.

"Leave one hundred and fifty strokes for Panshi Village, and the remaining eight hundred and fifty strokes will be transported to Taiping County!" Liu Chang told Xian Na, the commander of the battalion company guarding the side: "Now it's about to take a big job." ”

"Then when can I go to Taizhou with you?" Xian Na asked such a question in passing.

He was originally an old green battalion soldier who rebelled with Sun Huzi, and was promoted to the commander of the battalion company because of the manufacturing method of granular gunpowder, and performed well in the battle of Panshizhai and the organization of military production, so after the Hongjun army marched north, he was responsible for staying in Panshizhai.

Liu Chang was taken aback: "Isn't Panshi Village good?" Who do you get along with? ”

Xian Na told Liu Chang: "It's also a good thing that Panshizhai is safe and stable, but how can the future be compared to Taizhou, now even An Hailian's retirement season has been upgraded to a battalion, and the Niudao Company should not be far away, but Jin's "Baidu Doesn't Set Sail Text" Tang Lian is intact. ”

This is telling the truth, Panshi Village is limited by the terrain, and the Hong Army only controls a small piece of territory near Panshi Town, surrounded by the Red Turban Army on all sides, and there is no room for development.

Even if some recruits take the initiative to come to serve, Panshizhai only plays the role of a recruit training camp, and when the recruits are trained, they are ready to be sent to the front line in Taizhou, and a large number of troops stationed here can be said to be a waste, so Xian Na immediately proposed to go to the front line: "This is not my idea alone, nor do I want to be an official, it is too small to stay in this Panshizhai development space!" ”…,

Especially when he heard that he was going to attack Huangyan County and Linhai County next, and even held the entire Taizhou in his hands, an old officer like Xian Na was even more moved: "Jintang even wants to upgrade over there, but in such a small place as Panshi Village, there is no room for upgrading!" The other companies had expanded an entire battalion, but the Jintang Company had only recruited thirty more recruits. ”

Liu Chang nodded: "They are also an old company, and they are a little wronged in Panshi Village!" Wait a little longer, as long as Huangyan and Linhai are taken, then the base of Panshizhai will not be of much significance to our Hongjun! ”

He told Xian Na: "You are also the old man of the Hongjun, now the undercurrent of Taiping County is lurking, and the family of Panshi Village cannot move there for the time being, Panshi Village is my back road and root, you watch for our brothers on the front line, I will not treat you badly!" ”

Liu Chang's words were enough, and Xian Na immediately agreed: "That's okay, now there is just a group of trained recruits in Panshi Village, most of whom are from Dongxiang and Hongqiao, and they are very reliable!" ”

"Good!" Liu Chang agreed: "Although it is impossible to upgrade the Jintang Company in the short term, let the Jintang Company expand a Jintang Second Company first, and go north with me, as my personal soldiers." ”

He pointed out that some of the backbone of the Jintang Company and this group of recruits were mixed to form a new infantry company, which would at least give the cadres of the Jintang Company a space for development, and Xian Na agreed: "Don't worry, I'll notify the Jintang Company immediately." ”

Liu Chang thought of someone again: "By the way, that foreigner Duncan?" Why didn't you see him? ”

ps: The third more is delivered, asking for a monthly pass. ）
