On the table is a pistol!

To be precise, it is a revolver that is extremely rare in the East in this era, although Zhu Yifeng bought tens of thousands of long and short guns at a price almost equivalent to scrap iron, but there are only more than ten revolvers.

And now, Shi Dakai has a revolver, how not to be almost Zhu Yifeng's expectation.

The corners of his lips were lightly raised, but there was no smile in Shi Dakai's eyes, and his eyes were still fixed on Zhu Yifeng.

"What Fenghui foreign company, what foreign class, I'm afraid that the real owner is still Mr. Zhu! I don't know what Mr. Zhu came to Hankou this time? ”

The feeling of being stared at was really uncomfortable, and that layer of camouflage was pierced again, after a moment of panic, Zhu Yifeng took another sip, and his mood returned to calm!

"Sure enough, he is five thousand years old!"

Who said that the ancients were so foolish?

As soon as we met, I fell behind, how will I do this business in the future? Thinking so in his heart, he looked towards Pierre, and saw that he was looking left and right curiously, and the fire in his heart was not fighting, is this grandson here to talk about business? It's too late to say a thousand things and ten thousand, and now the key is to mix this level over, in case it is slaughtered as a clear demon......

"Pierre is indeed not a Taipan, but he is not a proprietor in Xia, but he is just an agency in Xia!"

After half-truths and half-truths revealed his identity, Zhu Yifeng hurriedly changed the topic.

"Since there are Western-style revolvers here at the age of 5,000, it seems that it is still too late to come in the next place, I never thought that someone actually walked in front of the bottom, thinking that the 5,000-year-old already has an understanding of foreign guns and foreign guns, that is just right, and it is also necessary to save some explanations,......

Understand?

I don't know anything at all, this foreign gun was given to Shi Dakai by the "foreign brother" who was kidnapped by mistake, but he naturally wouldn't say that, he was determined to pay attention to what this person had to say.

"However, I am not an ordinary arms dealer, who only wants to sell foreign guns to heaven for profit!"

"Oh, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, you are not for profit, so why?"

"Li, I am in the next picture, but I am different from ordinary arms dealers!"

With an emphasis as if arguing, Zhu Yifeng turned his head again.

"The biggest difference is that in the future, if the Wing King and the Kingdom of Heaven need anything, even if it is listed, our bank will do our best to buy it on our behalf, even if it is a warship and gunboat, we can also buy it from the West on our behalf!"

Gunboats!

Zhu Yifeng's words made Shi Dakai's eyes light up, although he didn't know about Western warships and gunboats, but he knew that in this Yangtze River, with Western warships and gunboats, how much help Yu Tianguo would be, so his eyes were still suddenly open, and he asked "Zhu Mingzong".

"That's true!"

Zhu Yifeng suddenly understood that ordinary muskets and artillery were not very attractive to Shi Dakai, but more attractive to soldiers and gunboats, after figuring out this and understanding the needs of the other party, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"Indeed, not to mention the general military wheel, even if it is the latest Western ironclad military wheel, our bank can also buy it on your behalf!"

"Ironclad Wheel?"

Shi Dakai and Shi Zhenji both glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, he naturally didn't know what an ironclad soldier wheel was, but he still guessed one or two literally.

"This ironclad ship is a layer of heavy ironclad armor on the hull of the ship, even heavy artillery cannot penetrate the ironclad, it is really a sharp weapon of the sea country......"

Talking about the ironclad ship in his memory, Zhu Yifeng was thinking in his heart, if the other party needs this ironclad, where should he buy it for him? Like the ironclad ship in the Civil War, isn't it just covered with an iron plate, not to mention, what is the reason why I would mention this "soldier ship and gunboat"?

It's to give him a reason not to kill himself!

"Hmph, you don't have a few words of truth in your words, how can this iron armor float on water! Do you really think that the king's sword is unfavorable? ”

Shi Dakai, who realized that he seemed to be a little out of shape, leaned forward slightly, stroked the teacup with his right hand, caressed his thumb under the cup and saucer, and stared at "Zhu Mingzong" with his eyes.

"The prince's knife is sharp, but it can't be sharpened by a foreign gun!"

In the face of this threat, Zhu Yifeng not only did not feel afraid, but took a deep breath, plucked up his courage to meet Shi Dakai's gaze and said.

"I think the prince has heard of the sharpness of foreign guns, if the thousands of soldiers under the command of the prince all use foreign guns, then what is the Qing demon afraid of?"

"Humph! Now that the Qing Demon saw that my Heavenly Army was also fleeing after hearing the news, why did he need the help of foreign guns? ”

Shi Zhenji retorted loudly on the side. In fact, he said that in fact, the Taiping Army's "love" of firearms has a long history, and in the Turkish-Ke conflict in Guangxi, the two sides used a large number of bird guns and earth cannons, and after the Jintian Uprising, they have begun to "open the furnace and cast cannons".

After conquering Yuezhou, the thousands of catties of copper cannons left over from the seizure of eighteen Wu Sangui in the warehouse of the Yuezhou government were even more like a tiger with wings, and the reason why they were able to take down Hanyang and Hankou and then besiege Wuchang was that these eighteen copper cannons were the biggest help of the Taiping Army.

Fortunately, there was a Guangxi roommate in the university dormitory back then, although Shi Zhenji spoke a Guangxi dialect, Zhu Yifeng was not incomprehensible, and when he said this, he immediately replied in Guangxi dialect, which was not fluent.

"This general, the Heavenly Army is known to the world for its courage and good fighting, but at the age of 5,000, he loves soldiers like sons, how can he abandon guns and cannons and increase the casualties of soldiers!"

While patting a sycophant, he put on a high hat of "loving soldiers like sons" to Shi Dakai, so that when the man couldn't refute for a while, Zhu Yifeng turned to Shi Dakai and said.

"Five thousand years old, in order to facilitate the carrying of only a few weapons, temporarily kept by Warden Chen, if the five thousand years old agree, you might as well move to the outside of the account to try, I don't know what the five thousand years old think?"

"Oh, since you're here, why not try?"

seemed to be a casual sentence, but it was sold by Shi Dakai's hurried steps, and seeing his hurried look, Zhu Yifeng knew that the business was done.

In the snowstorm, under the watchful gaze of the people, Pierre held the rifle and demonstrated how to use the rifle to shoot the rifle, and when loading, he first bit the bottom of the bullet with his mouth, poured the gunpowder from the bottom of the bullet into the barrel from the muzzle, and then loaded the projectile wrapped in a paper shell from the muzzle, and pressed it against the gunpowder with a ram lever. After that, place the firing cap on the bottom fire socket and set the gun to be ready to fire to aim and fire.

For the Taiping Army, who were accustomed to using bird guns, that is, arquebuses, whether it was the use of paper-wrapped ammunition or the firing caps that did not need arquebuses, everyone was stunned, and in their successive shots, Shi Dakai's eyes widened, and the bullets hit the wooden planks nearly 20 zhang away again and again, while in comparison, half of the bird guns they used failed.

Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the people around him, Zhu Yifeng smiled secretly in his heart, Now, when you see these smoothbore muskets, if you see a Minny gun that can accurately hit the target from a few hundred meters away, I don't know how you will feel.

Finally, after a few rounds of demonstrations, Shi Dakai picked up another foreign gun, pressed it under Pierre's finger to load the bullet and load the fire cap, and after shooting, in the gunpowder smoke, Shi Dakai couldn't put down the spear, and at this moment, he saw Zhu Mingzong take out a short knife and stuck it in the head of the gun.

"Huh? What is this dagger? ”

Looking at the short sword with the head of the spear curiously, Shi Dakai was surprised and listened to him explain.

"Five thousand years old, this short sword, also known as a bayonet, can be loaded on the head of the gun, and does not affect the loading, so that the distant enemy can be shot with a musket, and the enemy can also be assassinated with a bayonet like a spear when the enemy is near, it can be said that both far and near, even if the ammunition is exhausted, it can also be temporarily used as a spear, and the bayonet can kill and injure the Qing demon!"

"Good!"

If he said that he was still a little puzzled before, then now Shi Dakai has been impressed by this powerful and extremely accurate foreign gun, and after shouting, he looked at Zhu Yifeng and asked.

"Brother Zhu!"

With a happy heart, Shi Dakai even changed his title.

"I wonder how much you can provide for a foreign gun like this? How long does it take to get to Wuchang ......"

When the words came to his lips, without waiting for Zhu Yifeng to answer, Shi Dakai realized a problem - now that the Taiping army has not taken Wuchang, what if the Taiping army has already withdrawn here by the time those weapons are transported to Wuchang, so he quickly changed his words, looked at Zhu Yifeng and said.

"How about a foreign gun like this, a hundred taels per shot?"

One hundred taels!

The moment he heard these two words, Zhu Yifeng only felt that his heart was beating violently, obediently, this, this can be almost thirty times the benefit! If you sell all the more than 50,000 guns in the warehouse......

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Shi Dakai's brows frowned slightly, the reason why he offered a high price of one hundred taels was simple, his foreign gun was said to be sent by the foreign brother, but in fact it cost two hundred taels of silver, according to his statement, it was worth no less than one hundred taels, and such a spear, I think it should be this price.

Could it be that you have opened the bottom?

If it's higher...... I really can't afford it. Holding the foreign gun in his hand, Shi Dakai hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"In this way, if you can deliver foreign guns to our army, 1,000 guns, I will increase the price by 10%, more than 2,000, increase the price by 1000, if it is 4,000, increase the price by 20%, I don't know what Brother Zhu thinks?"

Good boy!

The price is increased by 20%...... After a little calculation in his heart, Zhu Yifeng, who realized that he had completely gotten rid of the economic crisis, asked tentatively.

"Then if it is 5,000 and can be delivered to your army within two days, I don't know how much 5,000 is willing to increase the price?"
