Early the next morning, not long after Feng Yunshan got up, Wu Chongyao came over with Bo Jia and another white-haired foreigner, accompanied by several personal guards. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It turned out to be the businessman friend in Xiangmen who was contacted by Bo Jia, and finally brought the long-backlogged Brown? Bess fired muskets and rushed to Guangzhou. Since this batch of muskets was specially brought from Xiangmen, they were distributed to the river cargo ship, and after being led by the holy soldiers, they drove directly to the dock outside the Thirteen Lines Square.

Feng Yunshan is overjoyed!

Although it is a breech flintlock musket that a group of foreigners want to eliminate, it is still far stronger than the shotgun in the hands of the holy soldiers now.

"I've seen His Highness the Holy King!" Bo Jiale introduced the white-haired foreigner behind him to Feng Yunshan: "This is my businessman friend Lu Lusheng, who came to China before last and just knows Chinese. ”

After speaking, he introduced Feng Yunshan to the white-haired foreigner in English.

The white-haired foreigner named Lu Lusheng looked to be in his fifties, with a fat face full of red light, and the flesh on his face squeezed his eyes into a small one.

He seemed to run forward two steps forward slowly, plopped, and half-knelt in front of Feng Yunshan: "Lu Lusheng, a grass man outside the fan, greets His Royal Highness the Holy King of the Heavenly Kingdom, and wishes the Holy King to be invincible and invincible!" ”

Feng Yunshan was taken aback by this Lu Lusheng, what is the situation? Inquiringly look at Bo Jia.

Wu Chongyao next to him also looked at the foreigner in surprise, and several guards beside Feng Yunshan even grabbed their hands on the handle of the card knife and stared at the white-haired foreigner in front of him vigilantly.

Bo Jia hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Lu Lusheng up with great effort, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Holy King, don't be surprised, Lusheng has just arrived in China, and he likes Chinese culture very much, he thinks it is polite to meet him like this!" It is a tribute to the Holy King! ”

I see! This foreigner, making such a show and making a good impression, isn't it to sell it for a good price?

Feng Yunshan, who came from later generations, naturally understood this, so he waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay!" Mr. Lu Lusheng, your name is very authentic, this king should call you Mr. Lu! By the way, Mr. Bojia, let's get down to business, I don't know how many muskets Mr. Lu has shipped this time? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the grass people have brought a total of 3,200 muskets this time, all of which are Brown Bess breech flintlock pistols, as well as 1,200,000 rounds of paper-shelled lead bullets." Lu Lusheng replied in slightly stiff Chinese.

"Excellent! Your musket is willing to be bought. However, I heard from Mr. Bojia that your muskets were all disposed of on the battlefield in Mexico a few years ago, and they were all flintlock muskets, so they were in the backlog for a long time. So......" Before Feng Yunshan finished speaking, Wu Chongyao approached Feng Yunshan's side and reported softly: "Holy King, on the way here just now, I have already asked, the price of each musket is 25 silver dollars, and the paper shell bullet also costs 12,000 silver dollars, adding up to 92,000 silver dollars. ”

"Oh, this flintlock pistol sells for about the same price as a French firing shotgun." Feng Yunshan muttered in his heart, waved his hand, and said coldly to the foreigner: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, your musket is not worth 25 silver dollars per branch, and you will be given a unit price of 20 silver dollars at most!" In addition, all bullets are up to ten thousand silver dollars. If you don't want to, go back! ”

After speaking, Feng Yunshan yawned, as if he hadn't woken up, and under the protection of the two guards beside him, he slowly started Tai Chi by himself.

Since the occupation of Daozhou, Feng Yunshan felt that his scholarly body was too weak, so whenever he had leisure time, he played Tai Chi and exercised his body, and after persisting for half a year, he felt that his body was a lot stronger.

Lu Lusheng, who was full of red light, couldn't get off the stage a little, and froze there, not knowing what to do.

The uncle on the side hurriedly stepped forward to persuade in English, and the two muttered a few words, and finally, Lu Lusheng whispered a few words to Wu Chongyao with a reluctant smile.

Wu Chongyao nodded again and again, his face was full of pride, and he came to Feng Yunshan's side with a smile, and said, "Holy King, Mr. Lu said that he accepted the price of 20 silver dollars per branch. But we are required to pay for it in ingots and silver. ”

"It's okay, promise him! Chongyao, let you make a deal with him as soon as possible, and transport the muskets and bullets back to the treasury in the governor's yamen. The king wants to see the performance of these muskets. ”

Seeing that Wu Chongyao had negotiated with the two foreigners, but Bo Jia still stayed and did not leave, Feng Yunshan suddenly remembered that he had promised the benefits of Bo Jia, but he had not fulfilled it.

Then he called Bo Jia and said: "Mr. Bo Jia, I really don't know when you are the US Chargé d'Affaires in China and when you are a missionary of the American Congregational Church!" What this king promised will definitely be fulfilled! Chongyao, you sent someone to lead Mr. Bojia to Zuo Ji, and said that the king had promised to let him pick a new piece of land in the city of Guangzhou, and the surrounding area should be cleaner, without the disturbance of idle people, etc., and it would be assigned to Mr. Bojia's Congregational Church to build a church. ”

Wu Chongyao hurriedly agreed. In the bottom of my heart, I secretly admired the Holy King: Why is there no idle people to disturb, Xindi, isn't it just to choose a bird in the city that doesn't, the most remote place? The Holy King's trick is also amazing, even if there is a piece of land to build a church, there is no popularity around, and there is no great missionary achievement in a short period of time.

Looking at the elated uncle, Wu Chongyao couldn't hold back the smile in his heart and led the foreigners away.

Next, Feng Yunshan carefully calculated the foreign gun in his hand.

On the French's side, last night, Wu Chongyao had already sent someone to move the 1,000 Charville MLE1816 flintlock muskets presented by Minister Bourblon, as well as the 2,100 Charville MLE1842 musket muskets purchased from the French, into the treasury of the governor's yamen.

From the Prussian Ricky. The 300 Dresser M1841 pin muskets that Karenway bought from him have long been in storage.

By the time the 3,200 Brown Bess flintlock muskets sold by the Americans arrived, there would be a total of 6,600 foreign guns!

Feng Yunshan suddenly found that he had unknowingly accumulated 6,600 foreign guns. As long as these foreign guns are equipped and after a period of training, the strength of these more than 6,000 foreign guns is a very powerful armed force!

You must know that in the First Opium War, the British army that invaded China sent an army of 6,900 people when attacking the city, and the musket carried was almost this kind of Brown Bess flintlock smoothbore gun.

Especially in the capture of Zhenjiang City, 2,400 Manchu banner soldiers under the leadership of the deputy capital commander Hailing, stubbornly guarded the fort and the city gate, and after breaking the city, they also fought to the death in the streets and alleys, and finally all died, which can be described as heroic and tragic, but how many British soldiers were killed? Of the 160 dead and wounded, less than 40 were actually killed and nearly 130 wounded.

What kind of battle is this, it's a one-sided slaughter! This is the gap in weapons!

Feng Yunshan suddenly found that it didn't seem to be so difficult to make good use of these muskets and capture the southern provinces by himself!

At the same time, Feng Yunshan suddenly felt that he should control all the muskets of foreigners in the Far East in his own hands at any cost, if the Manchu court also realized the sharpness of foreign guns and purchased foreign guns with blood, once the battle was fought, even if it was won, the holy army would suffer heavy casualties.

However, he also thought that after the war ten years ago, the Manchu court should have known the power of foreign guns and cannons. However, due to institutional reasons, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang are not yet in power, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not purchase foreign guns on a large scale for the time being.
