"Hehehe, this weapon is called a musket, a gun that uses gunpowder...... Li Lu said proudly, he was in line with the principle of making good equipment, and after specifically analyzing his own scientific and technological strength, he directly imitated the most successful rifle in the history of mankind in the original time and space.

What? You say that the pig's feet are imitations of AK47? Ouch, what are you kidding, have you ever seen an AK47 with a bolt structure that is loaded from the muzzle and used by the bolt?

In the author's view, a weapon should not only look at the data performance, but also its status and influence and its contribution to the development of human weapons. Gun fans' favorite AK47 was born in 1947 after World War II, and it is only 70 years now, but there is a rifle, from the birth of 1722 to mass production to 1861, which lasted 140 years, the time span is large, the number of wars experienced, and the importance of historical status is much higher than AK47, this rifle is the object of Li Lu's imitation, the famous brown bass rifle, the first standard rifle in human history.

The reason why Li Lu chose to copy the brown bass rifle is because this brown bass rifle was born before the dawn of the industrial revolution (the beginning of the industrial revolution was Hargreaves' invention of the Jenny machine in 1765, as for Watt, it is even later), it is the most suitable choice that Li Lu can achieve with the technical strength at hand, as for what Mini gun, Chasepo, Dresser and other famous guns, Li Lu really can't get it.

There is also the leadership of the concept of the brown bess is also very commendable, countless firearms enthusiasts are relishing the Kalashnikov and Stoner rifles good standardized design of the parts brought about the versatility, but they do not know that the "standardization" in the world of guns The forerunner is the brown bes, since then the human army has the term "standard rifle", no matter where the recruits report in the barracks around the world, they will receive a standard rifle with the same barrel length, the same barrel caliber, and the same bolt operation, Even the British Armament Bureau, which is located in London under the cold autumn rain, can safely purchase the Indian brown bass produced by the East India Company half a world away under the bright sun of Calcutta at a cheap price, which is a revolution in standardization.

The military workshop under Li Lu picked up the streamlining and standardized operations of the old Qin people, coupled with the use of a batch of new tools for hydraulic machinery, and the most important thing is that Li Lu has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources at any cost for more than ten years, so that today's military workshop has the ability to initially mass-produce black technology weapons such as brown bes, which are far beyond the times.

At this time, Xue Lu also liked this musket very much, under the guidance of Li Lu, he fired ten shots in a row, but unfortunately only four shots were hit, but this already made Old Man Xue very satisfied, "Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that an independent musketeer unit be formed, well, just like your guards, fully firearms......"

Old man Xue's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that this was a revolutionary weapon that could change the way of military operations, "And the king, we must strictly control the production technology and process of rifles, artillery and gunpowder...... It must not fall into the hands of others, not even Chang'an! ”

"You're right!" Li Lu gave Xue Lu a thumbs up, and then said, "But my great minister, do you know how expensive this musket is, as well as its lead bullet and gunpowder?" ”

"This, the old minister really doesn't know....." Xue Lu said with some embarrassment.

"Let's put it this way, it costs fifty taels of silver to make this musket alone, not counting lead bullet and gunpowder..... Li Lu said, "If you want the musket to achieve absolute superiority over the enemy's sword, you must equip the troops in large quantities, my big minister, you calculate, we don't need more, to form a team of 10,000 musketeers, the musketeers alone need 500,000 taels of silver....musketeers need to strengthen training, and those lead bullets and gunpowder are also a lot of expenses......

"Hiss ....." Xue Lu frowned, "Or, Your Majesty, let's only equip the most elite troops, save all the silver and supply it to them, and use it as a killer weapon when the time comes?" ”

"Hehe, this won't work, Daxiang, there are very few people in our headquarters, if you follow your strategy, then my warriors will die a lot......" Li Lu rejected Xue Lu's suggestion, "The teacher once told me that the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, and we are short of money now, it just so happens that the Romans, the big customer, are going to come to the door to purchase, do you think this is a good time for us to kill customers?" ”

The clever Xue Lu immediately understood Li Lu's intentions, and he took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, the last time that Prushak came, the old minister was ordered by you to talk to him about a general framework for selling weapons, this time the old minister Mao recommended himself, please hand over the matter of arms sales to the old minister, and the old minister will definitely collect some more money for our warriors....."

"Hahaha, scavenging, this word, I like ....." Li Lu said with a smile, "I will ask Ma Changqing to bring a few Sogdian account offices to assist you in ......"

Just when Li Lu and Xue Lu, the unscrupulous monarchs, were sharpening their knives and preparing to kill the guests, on the side of Constantinople, Constans II was giving Sergio . Prussia saw him off, "Prussia, I have taken all this money from the royal family, I hope you can bring back more equipment from there..... I heard that the war between the Jiankun and the Persians. It was their heavy cavalry that crushed the undead army of Persia and the Azatan cavalry, and if they are willing to sell, you must buy it back at all costs....."

"Please rest easy, the ministers and several ministers over there are friends, and even their kings and ministers have some friendships..... Sergio. Prussia said proudly, "I will definitely bring you back the equipment you want..."

Just as they were saying goodbye, Princess Irina, the sister of Constans II, suddenly came out, "Little Constance, I plan to go to Broken Leaf and meet the legendary king......"

"No, sister, he already has several wives, and besides, he's a heretic....." Constans II said categorically that he would not trade his sister's happiness for the support of potential enemies and temporary allies, and besides, Constantinople was not unable to support it.

Irina touched her brother's cheek with her little hand, "Little Constants, you have grown up..... if you can get the support of that Eastern Emperor for the empire, and let him send troops to deal with the hateful Persians, my sister is willing to marry Broken Leaves, even if they ask me to convert, I ......will admit it" Princess Irina said resolutely, "There is another reason why I want to go to Broken Leaves, that is, as far as I know, the Jiankun Kingdom is based on business, and Lord Sergio will definitely be exploited by those profiteers, I'm going to go to Shattered Leaf to meet the Great Khan and his queen..... I'm sure with their support, our purchase of weapons will go much smoother....."

Princess Irina has been interested in Li Lu, Jiankun Kingdom and Broken Leaf City since she became interested in Li Lu, and she has learned a lot about this from a woman who came to Constantinople to do business, and she has become good friends with this woman named Wushun.

As far as she knew, her best friend's sister was one of the wives of the Great Khan, and their martial arts family could be regarded as a relative of the king in Broken Leaves, if it weren't for the Wu Shun family's business in Constantinople, her good girlfriend would not have come here.....

Hey? How did Princess Irina get together with Wu Shun? This is not surprising, Li Lu's little butterfly has changed the fate of many people, including the three sisters of the martial family, Wu Shun after coming to Broken Leaves, harvested her love, she and a Sinicized Sogdian merchant combined, a few years later, the two of them Guangwu business became a commercial giant to the east to Chang'an, west to Constantinople, and the samurai lady also became a strong woman in the shopping mall.

Not long ago, one of the main products of Guangwu Firm, white stacked cloth was unsalable in Constantinople, but Wushun's husband Kang Kai was far away in Chang'an. After the news reached Broken Leaf, the martial lady entrusted all the affairs of the family to her second sister, and came to Constantinople, coincidentally, she was thinking hard about how to spread this white cloth among the Romans, Princess Irina ran to the business district of Constantinople to find out the news from the Broken Leaf, and the two met like this, and Wu Shun only knew that his best friend was the eldest princess of the Eastern Roman Empire, but he didn't know that the eldest princess coveted her brother-in-law. So she told Princess Irina a lot of what she knew, from Wushun and many businessmen from Jiankun, Princess Irina generally had an understanding of Li Lu, that is, this great khan of Jiankun is an amazing hero, his legendary experience is no worse than his grandfather Heraclius the Great, every girl has a dream of marrying a big hero, and Irina is no exception. The talk was quite speculative, and with the help of Princess Irina, the samurai's white cloth finally opened up a market in Constantinople.

So when Princess Irina learned that her brother was going to send someone to Crushed Leaf to buy weapons, she appeared at the send-off scene, and said her reasons, Constans II looked at his sister with a complicated expression, he understood that his sister was going to use his own happiness to give herself and the Roman Empire a chance to prolong her life, after a long time, Constans II nodded, "Sister, when you get over there, you have to take care of yourself, it's really not good, you can't stay, just come back, I'll feed you..."

"Don't worry, little Monarchs..... I also know people over there..."Princess Irina said with a smile, "Don't be lazy in government affairs, don't let the Persians take advantage of the loopholes......" Suddenly Irina hugged Constants II, and big tears slid down, "Little Constants, take care, my sister is gone...."

Constans II's eyes were also red, he understood that his sister went to Broken Leaves this time, it was very likely that it would be goodbye, and she became the concubine of the Eastern Emperor, and it was a delusion to hear that leaving the palace.
