Chapter 81 New Field Artillery

Reluctantly putting down the last object, Zhang Lao exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath held in his chest, and his thin mood was briefly stirred, not for the huge auction money, but for the cultural value contained in these objects.

"Everything is true, one is 60 pieces, each of which is a rare treasure, and what is even more rare is that it includes the works of the official kiln from the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the time span is so large that it is shocking. Xiao Chen, it's not easy. "The meaning of Zhang Lao's words is very clear, it is not easy to get these things together. It's not easy, it's a matter of opinion.

"Since it's all true, it's fine. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, Siyu we have a cooperation agreement, and Lili is responsible for dealing with related matters. Chen Xie threw out these words very simply and became the shopkeeper.

Chen Feng, who hadn't spoken much, smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Good courage!" "Not much, but to the point. The value of the objects here is so high, everyone knows it very well. Chen Xie operated in full accordance with the agreement reached with Qian Siyu before, the things were handed over to Qian Siyu to be in charge of the auction, and Yang Lili was responsible for helping him collect the money and negotiate the next step of the sale.

Trusting everyone in every link so much, isn't this how a person with great courage can do it? As everyone knows, Chen Xie has nothing to worry about, he doesn't have time to wait for the auction in modern society. There are too many things, and it's not something that any one person can eat alone, so you can only trust these two women head-on. Of course, there is also a highly confident mentality cultivated by Chen Xie with the improvement of his status in the Ming Dynasty and the loyalty of his subordinates.

………………………………

Jianghai Province, a small town, Qingfeng foundry.

As Han Qingfeng's biggest customer now, Chen Xie's arrival is undoubtedly the thing that Han Qingfeng is most happy to see. It's true that he is an enthusiast, but he is also a businessman, and it is his nature to pursue profits. As for why Chen Xie wanted so many antique guns, Han Qingfeng didn't care. It can't be said that it was taken to rebel, Han Qingfeng was happy when he thought of this.

The car was rented, a very low-key Phaeton, and Wu Qi was driving. How to get the driver's license, Chen Xie doesn't know. From Qianzhou, the capital of Jianghai Province, to this town, more than 100 kilometers away, take the highway but 30 minutes to get off the highway, and I didn't go far to see the signboard of Qingfeng Foundry on the side of the road.

"Mr. Chen! Great work! Han Qingfeng glanced at "Passat", you don't understand the realm of rich people. Han Qingfeng opened the door, and after Chen Xie in the co-pilot seat got down, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Is the sample ready?" ”

Han Qingfeng's eyes were still red, and he nodded and smiled: "It's out, I've been busy for three days and three nights, and I've finally come out." ”

Wu Qi, who got out of the car, was still an iceberg beauty, and said coldly as if she was alive: "Let's go, go and see the goods." ”

Han Qingfeng knew that he didn't see Chen Xie, and his previous experience told him that this woman was the one who looked at the goods during the transaction.

"This way, please!" Leading the two to the back of the factory, from the back of the workshop is a mountain bag, which is planted with artificial pine forests. In the open space in the courtyard behind, an old cannon was parked.

"MR. CHEN, PLEASE SEE, THIS IS THE FIELD GUN YOU REQUESTED, STEEL CASTING, CALIBER 95MM, FIRING A 4-KILOGRAM WOMEN'S SHOT PUT. Because it was made of steel, I took the initiative to shorten the barrel, pull the rifling, and pull it to the nearby mountains to do several tests, using pellets **, the range can be 1500 meters. Seeing Wu Qi inspecting the artillery, Han Qingfeng whispered to Chen Xie: "Mr. Chen, the price of copper has risen recently, so I have to use steel to cast the artillery, please understand." ”

At this time, Wu Qi quickly finished reading it, and nodded expressionlessly: "A very good cannon, very light, three people can push and run all over the ground, the disadvantage is that the operation is more complicated, and a skilled gunner can shoot two shots in a minute." ”

Han Qingfeng felt uncomfortable when he heard this, turned his head and smiled secretly before he eased up a little. This woman is interesting, and she is serious, do you really plan to use this cannon to fight? Is this appropriate? This is a cannon that uses ** as a propellant.

In order to save costs, steel was cast instead of copper, and the rifling was pulled, Chen Xie seemed to be an unexpected joy. The benefits of this artillery are obvious, light! The firing range is not bad, with this kind of artillery, the "I Daqing" iron cavalry outside the range of the rifle has to force the assembled line to retreat, so that when the cavalry can charge the formation, it will take more time.

The rate of fire of two rounds a minute is not too much of a problem. There is no skirmish formation in the era of cold weapons, and the formation is very important when attacking, and you have to scatter and rush forward, just like sending you to death.

What Chen Xie asked for on the phone was a lightweight front-loading field gun, which of course was requested by the customer. There are so many people in this world, there are many rich people who are superstitious about feng shui, and it is not surprising that some people like light artillery. This matter is not for Han Qingfeng to ask, he just wants to reduce the cost, of course it is much cheaper to use steel casting, and it also shortens the barrel, which saves another sum.

"How much does it cost?" Wu Qi stood behind Chen Xie, which meant that she didn't care about the rest of the things. Bargaining is Chen Xie's business. Han Qingfeng had already prepared and said very frankly: "Forty thousand gates, there is a certain risk in making this thing, please understand." ”

Chen Xie is most satisfied with the launch of the 4kg women's shot put, it seems that this Han Qingfeng is very ghostly. Shot put, just search on the Internet, N manufacturers can buy it, as long as you ask for a diameter, how much do you want?

The risk is not risky, Chen Xie thinks that there is still a point. The law makes it illegal to possess a horse privately. However, this Wu Qi didn't say no, which means that many things are not what she said, and they can't be brought to the Ming Dynasty if they are illegal. There must be rules, but Chen Xie can't figure out the details of what the degree is.

"Guarantee the quality, don't want to hear it during the New Year, you blow it up." Chen Xie said lightly, and Han Qingfeng immediately smiled: "Don't worry, there is no problem with steel quality assurance, I will go through the regular channels to enter the steel of the big factory." It is guaranteed that no strip steel is used. Chen Xie, who heard this, had a black line in his head, and it seemed that he was now relying on a steel company to maintain the steel demand of the Ming Dynasty. The difference is that Chen Xie is more demanding of quality, and quality is just something that can be controlled.

"Also, don't do any bronze cannons in the future, refer to this, design a gun that hits men's shot put, look back at the sample, and then I will decide the specific quantity. Well, remember to plating copper, this should not be difficult. This is an order, the new contract is better than the contract of the irradiating heavenly factory, there is no problem? After Chen Xie finished speaking, he handed over a piece of paper, Han Qingfeng took it and looked at it, and immediately smiled from ear to ear.

60 doors, this is an order of 2.4 million yuan, half of the payment in advance. According to the current cost, he can earn 5,000 with one cannon. According to the current production schedule, it can be won in a month.

"No problem, delivery in a month. Mr. Chen, considering the problem of transportation, I have made the 24 bronze cannons that have been produced into disassembleable assemblies, bound them in wooden boxes, and assembled them directly when the time comes. Han Qingfeng hurriedly added, lest Chen Xie have an opinion.

"That's not a problem, it's not a hassle to assemble." Chen Xie is very talkative, 24 bronze cannons, just use it for training and caretaking. In the future, the protagonist of the field battle was still a steel-cast cannon with rifling. As for the Ming Dynasty, what general cannons and red-coated cannons are all scum in front of the rifled guns of modern industry.

After talking about the things here, he rushed back without eating, Han Qingfeng felt that Chen Xie was also a hard-working person. Pinching the order, Han Qingfeng turned around and went back happily.

"Wu Qi, can the rifled cannon also be transported over? Didn't violate the rules of time travel, right? Chen Xie in the co-pilot's seat, Wu Qi, who was driving, said without twisting his head: "**For propellants**, it's okay." But have you ever thought about it, is it advisable to rely too much on modern society in terms of weapons? Now that you have very few soldiers, it's okay to do that. What about the future? ”

Chen Xie asked with joy in his heart: "The future problems will not be considered for the time being, it will take a long time for the Ming Dynasty to develop industry." And what about the Congreeve rocket? Can you bring it with you? Wu Qi actually turned his head, and his face, which had never been expressionless, showed a surprised expression and a disdainful look: "This kind of rocket has almost no technical content, you can build it in the Ming Dynasty." Also, ** grenades are not difficult to make, although they are not very powerful, they can also be used as a sharp weapon in melee combat if there are many of them. The key is how you improve the gunpowder formula of the Ming Dynasty, don't you think that the gunpowder used by your soldiers now does not bring out the maximum power of **? Gunpowder granulation is not a problem, is it? ”

Chen Xie was shocked fiercely, yes, isn't it gunpowder granulation?

"There is another problem, you have not treated it correctly, the food and nutritional structure of the Ming Dynasty people is very unreasonable, don't you think it is necessary to improve this problem? If you can improve the living standards of the people in Zhangjiazhuang, you can improve the living standards of the people in the surrounding areas. With this foundation, you will be able to qualify for the source of soldiers. I always thought that after you increased the grain yield per mu, you would think of this problem and improve the current situation of the lack of meat, poultry and eggs in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Chen Xie's mind buzzed, he had really ignored this problem all along, and now he had few people in his hands, and the supply of pork and mutton was not a big problem. In the future, when the team expands, this problem will be very strict. Fortunately, Wu Qi reminded me in time that a person who studies medicine forgets this, which is really stupid.

Chen Xie went directly to the Shetian Factory, met with Fang Gang and Wu Qing, and after settling all the payments, he put forward a request for a double-barreled handcuff. Fang Gang said that it was very simple, the existing equipment did not take half a day, and a sample was made, Chen Xie was very satisfied and made up his mind directly.

……………………

Daybreak! Ding Zixiong, who was standing in the sentry position, always maintained a vigilant state with a gun, and when he got up in the morning to change the guard, the thick fog led to poor vision. There is a bright and dark sentry, and the line of sight cannot be seen ten meters away.

The footsteps rustled from far to near, Ding Zixiong subconsciously picked up his gun and shouted in the direction of the dock: "Who!" ”

"Bastard, what you should be asking for is the password!" The sound in the dense fog was very familiar, Ding Zixiong made a conditioned reflex, snapped upright, and put down the gun. Said loudly: "Hello principal! ”

Chen Xie, who was approaching, looked at Ding Zixiong and said angrily: "What about Wang Qinian? Give me a death, how did he teach you? What does the Soldier's Code of Conduct say? Seeing that the superiors were going to call the chief, and the sentry was going to arrange different passwords, this bastard was in the ears of the wind. Whistle and assemble urgently! ”
