"Star Dou, the tiger squat cannon is useless, why do you have to order it? Besides, Narenres didn't come this time, what's the use of you letting them talk? ”

In Pan Shicheng's eyes, the tiger squat cannon is a waste, and Yang Meng wants to continue to order it just to entrap Renres, but the price of two thousand taels and one door, the number of one hundred, this price is a bit too high.

"Useless? Father-in-law, did you say that you were able to carry a gun? Or is this tiger squatting accurate? ”

There is no suitable primer, the power of explosives is not, otherwise according to the structure of this tiger squat cannon, Yang Meng can design a simple grenadier canister, sixty or seventy pounds of tiger squat cannon, now it is a good choice, no machine gun, no bazooka, no mortar, the range of about two hundred meters of the tiger squat cannon is undoubtedly the best support weapon for the infantry, as long as he develops the right ammunition, this tiger squat cannon is not a suitable transitional weapon.

"We've all seen it just now, a distance of two hundred paces, a hundred shots and a hundred hits, of course, the accuracy of this tiger squat cannon is better."

"What if the Tiger Squat Cannon is filled with flowering shells? How powerful is it compared to lifting a gun? ”

"Is this ......, how powerful can an egg-sized flowering bullet be? Wrong! You just got that brass pipe......

Wonderful! But this projectile blooms halfway, and it's still difficult to use it, can you get this flowering projectile? ”

Yang Meng's idea is undoubtedly good, but Pan Shicheng does not have much hope for the development of the cylindrical flowering bomb.

"This is left to Ge Shiyang and those English technicians, are you afraid that you won't be able to develop it?

Now we're going to deal with Renres, didn't come? I'm afraid that Narenes will hide on the cargo ship, right? The final payment is not a small amount. He doesn't come personally. Can you rest assured? The final payment this time. Instead, I'll meet with this officer of Millikan to see if he's our partner. ”

The two sons-in-law are talking about Renres! The copper pipe that had just been knocked out was picked up.

The copper pipe nearly two millimeters thick was not shattered, but it was torn, and of the ten lead bullets that Yang Meng put in it, there were still four left, it seemed that his path was still right, and the copper pipe was too tough. The amount of medicine is also a little insufficient, and if all the lead bullets are replaced with gunpowder, the copper pipe can be blown up.

"Master Ge, come on."

Ge Shiyang, who had just finished checking the Tiger Squat Cannon Manufacturing Technique, ran over upside down, since his family arrived in the Qing Dynasty, this Master Ge's footsteps have obviously been a lot brisker, and it seems that life is still very moist.

"Your Lord! The shell you just developed is amazing, it just needs to be improved. ”

"Nonsense! Otherwise, what are you looking for? Look at this copper tube. I put half gunpowder and half buckshot in it. The results are not bad. The rest is yours.

One is to change the skin to see if the lead cylinder is good, compared to copper, the lead cylinder is easier to manufacture. The second is the delay of gunpowder, find a way to make the gunpowder explode a little longer. The third is the base medicine, according to the range of the configuration of the base medicine, temporarily with 150 yards, 200 yards, 300 yards of the base medicine, within five days of the result.

Patrick's side, let him teach the new army how to use the mortar cannon! The cannonball must be spared, and we will return to Yunnan in ten days, and the road will definitely not be peaceful, and this mortar must be used!

Then there is the fact that according to the firing range of the mortar cannon, a batch of base drugs is also configured, from the maximum range to the smallest range, it must be complete. ”

Leaving Ge Shiyang with five new tiger squat guns, Yang Meng and Pan Shicheng went back to Lixiangyuan, the current weapons can be used as long as they can be used, and when the foundation of Yunnan is built, from sabers to artillery, Yang Meng plans to replace them all, so he doesn't have much heart to transform these weapons that are about to be eliminated.

Yang Meng's guess was right, Renlei came, he was really waiting for the result on the cargo ship, but the order of one hundred doors made him a little overwhelmed. Pan Shicheng, whom he knows, is a rigorous person, and this batch of customized artillery is completely a failed product, so why should he continue to customize?

This batch of artillery has been identified by artillery experts and more than a dozen veteran artillery generals, and it is definitely a failed product and design, but why should Pan Shi continue to customize it? Could it be that these small steel guns have other uses?

Thinking of this, Ren Lei smiled, the kind of firearms that have been eliminated for decades are still the standard weapons of the Qing Dynasty, and his own batch of steel artillery is definitely more powerful than that of lifting guns, so thinking about it, Pan Shicheng's purpose is clear.

It seems that Pan Shicheng invited himself this time to discuss the price! These fifty customized small guns are also an experiment, taking Pan Shicheng's silver, experimenting with Millican's artillery, many advanced concepts have been integrated into this small artillery, although it failed in the end, but for the gun factory, this cannon production has undoubtedly accumulated a lot of usable experience.

Build another hundred guns, some shortcomings in the casting process this time, will also try to solve, if it succeeds, Renlei will make a fortune, the most advanced artillery, is definitely the most needed arms in the world.

Pan Shicheng paid money and enjoyed patents himself, what a good deal! After thinking about this, Renlei didn't care about face, and that night, he came to Lixiang Garden.

But the situation in Lixiangyuan made Ren Reis a little confused, and there was a burly young man sitting in the lobby, and Pan Shicheng and the translator were sitting in the lower position.

This is quite contradictory in Ren Lei's view, Pan Shicheng's status in the Qing Kingdom, Ren Lei knows that who will be higher than Pan Shicheng's status? And this person is too young, an important minister of the empire, it should be impossible.

"Mr. Grace, can you show me the revolver you have in your waist?"

Renlei is a short man, only one meter and six, and he looks a little unattractive, which is rare among foreign devils, and the short man has a lot of eyes, and his father-in-law, eighty percent of them let Renlei wander around.

I'm looking at Grace! The revolver on his waist aroused Yang Meng's interest, but he didn't expect it! Millican's revolver is out, this thing alone, this meeting with Renres, it's worth it!

"Pan! What should I do? ”

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, Renlei did not step forward, and the status of the Qing people was very important. If you rush up, you are afraid of angering the big guys.

"Do as he says!"

Took Grace's revolver. Yang Meng looked at it carefully. It's not bad, it's much better than those flintlock guns.

"Steel tiger squat cannon, five hundred taels! How much silver is this revolver? ”

Yang Meng first set the price for the Tiger Squat Cannon, even if it was an all-steel Tiger Squat Cannon, five hundred taels was several times the price. As for this revolver, it is naturally as many as there is.

Although it is also buckshot. But the gun already has a fire cap, and it would be nice if you could get the skill of making a gun.

"Five hundred taels? That's impossible, there is a war between rice and Mexico, and after I go back this time, I won't come to Qingguo for a long time. ”

Five hundred taels, although there is a profit, but it is too much worse than last time, Renlei decisively refused, participating in the war on the mainland, the oil and water are much bigger than this.

"500,000 taels for you. I'll give you another 500,000 taels to buy the manufacturing skills and equipment of this revolver. If you can invite the maker to Daqing, I'll give you a million taels. ”

This Renres is a speculator, a speculative merchant, like a fly, where there is blood they gather.

"Is this true?"

Renlei is a little confused, how do you say that? Happiness came too suddenly, one million taels of silver is definitely a huge amount of wealth!

"Really! There are many things we can work on. I'm going to build a shipyard in Canton, and I'm going to train a navy, and if you take this errand on the job, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver for every person you train."

There will be a lot of cooperation between us, you are a speculator, and I am the same, there is a basis for cooperation between us, do you think? ”

The attitude of the young man on the throne confused Renres, and the technique and patent of the revolver were now in the hands of Colt, 500,000 taels of silver, nearly 600,000 US dollars, which was enough.

However, the training of manpower, one hundred taels of silver per person, seems to be a little less, whether it is the navy or the craftsmen who build ships, they have to train in a cycle of five years and ten years, and only long-term training can really become talents, and this business seems to be not very profitable.

"Can I think about it?"

"Of course, let me ask, what are you doing with all the money you earn?"

For the history of Millikan, Yang Meng was most impressed by the Civil War, which seemed to happen in this year.

"Buying land and slaves, building plantations, and investing in commerce."

Compared with Pan Shicheng, Ren Reis is a small person, whether it is the property he owns or his status in his country, Ren Reis cannot be compared with Pan Shicheng, let alone a person with a higher status than Pan Shicheng.

"Slave! Hehe! I will give you a suggestion, if you agree to my terms, use the money I give you to build a professional army, whether it is to participate in the Mi-Mo War, or otherwise, it will be of innumerable benefit to you.

As for the shipyard mechanics, I intend to train 10,000 or more at the beginning, and it is best if you can bring them back to Millican for training, as long as these people have learned the art of shipbuilding, they can build iron-hulled ships on their own, and the commission is one hundred taels of silver per person.

I can pay you ten taels per person in the early stage, and ten taels per year thereafter, and if these people are available within five years, add fifty taels per person. Navy! Can you help me find a group of elite mercenaries? One thousand taels per person, but you must have real skills.

I will give you 100,000 taels of silver for this revolver, and if it is feasible, this 100,000 taels will not be included in the reward I promised. If it wasn't feasible, I wouldn't ask for the 100,000 taels. ”

Grace was undoubtedly a very shrewd man, and after listening to the interpreter's explanation, his face was full of worry and remorse instead of joy. With an income of several million taels of silver, it would be difficult to refuse.

"My lord, can I ask what you are doing with the guns and skills you buy and train the mechanics?"

Renlei hesitated for a long time, and the atmosphere in the lobby became more and more solemn, and he asked a question in Chinese with a slight trembling.

"Rebellion! Is this enough? As I said before, I, like you, am also a speculator, and my purpose is very clear, that is, to get the Qing Dynasty's national glory, what about yours? ”

This translation is also sweating profusely, and I don't dare to translate it, and I rebel! This is a great sin to lose your head!

This translation is the old man of Lixiangyuan, but some things can be done and some things can't be done, this one hesitated at the critical moment.

The translation was delayed, Ren Reis was also a little confused, and Yang Meng turned his attention to his father-in-law Pan Shicheng.

"Alas...... One step away! Whatever you want......"

"Bang ......"

"Pan ......"

"Alas......"

"Humph! I don't know how to lift! ”

Yang Meng put the revolver with the barrel still smoking on the table, and acted as an interpreter himself, fluent eagle language came out of his mouth, Pan Shicheng was shocked, and Ren Lei came to his senses.

It turns out that my beloved son-in-law is proficient in foreign languages! It's hidden so deeply, and it's always been inconspicuous with a lame translation.

"I can promise about the training of mechanics, but for revolvers, I'm not sure."

People say kill and kill, this young man is too savage, but it should be enough to be a dictator, Yang Meng's shot hit the basis of cooperation with Renres.

"Yes! But I'm not going to give you cash, and heavy artillery, you're going to increase it to five hundred!" ”

"This is absolutely impossible, I am a soldier and not a businessman, you give me goods, I have no market! I will do my best to collect heavy artillery, but it must be traded in cash. ”

"Goods? The goods also have to depend on what kind of goods they are, what I give you is Yunyan, and it is a nine-fold Yunyan, I don't know if you want cash silver or Yunyan? ”

"Of course, it's a nine-fold cloud of smoke! I wish us a happy cooperation! ”

Ren Lei decisively chose Yunyan, and finally took out a bottle made of gold from the pocket of his military uniform and smoked a little Yunyan, which was all celebrated.

"Good! Happy working together! The cooperation between us will be very long-term, at least ten or eight years will not be a problem, whether you want to have a property of 10 million taels or not, you should also go back and think about it! ”

The two speculators shook hands at the very end, and Yang Meng's words made Ren Lei's face show a . Silk. Tide. Red. (To be continued......)
