As for Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi and others, of course they will not be polite, and immediately opened a list, these guys from the council hall have all gotten into the money eye, and they have already sharpened their knives and are ready to slaughter Chu Cailao.

The price list issued by the council hall to Chu Cailao was the monkey version of the No. 5 cannon, 2,500 taels of silver, a disassembled No. 3 cannon of 1,300 taels of silver, a tiger squat cannon of 220 taels of silver, a captive cannon of 500 taels of silver, and an arquebus, which was 60 taels of silver, but it was not an arquebus made by the sea wolf himself, but a part of the batch of hundreds of arquebuses captured from the Spaniards this time.

Of course, if Chu Cailao wants a bigger cannon, it can be, this time the sea wolf captured more than 40 cannons of various types from the Spanish ship, and in addition to Keelung Fort, during this time, he was still exploring and salvaging the cannons of the two sunken enemy ships, some of which belonged to heavy artillery, but the caliber was different from the sea wolf's self-produced artillery, and it was relatively cumbersome, Yu Xiaotian did not plan to continue to use these artillery, because if he continued to use these artillery, he had to produce shells specifically for them.

And these Spaniards have a large caliber tolerance, and the tolerance of the shells must also be large, otherwise they may not be able to fit into the bore of some cannons, and now Yu Xiaotian can't look down on these cannons at all.

As for the price, it is even higher, similar to the kind of naval cannon of the twenty-four pounder gun, the price of one is 4,000 taels of silver, it depends on how much silver Chu Cai can take to buy these cannons.

However, Yu Xiaotian thinks that Chu Cai should be a little old-fashioned, this guy has been on the sea for a decade or two, and must have accumulated a lot of wealth, these peers have the habit of hiding silver, like a mouse, hoarding wealth, don't look at the last time he knocked a bamboo pole, lost 40,000 taels of silver to the sea wolf, but it is estimated that this old guy should still have a lot of silver, and now there are so many good goods here, he is buying, not afraid that this old guy is reluctant to pay.

Ma Xiang's eyes flashed with greed, and he quickly rushed to the front of a cannon, lying on the cannon and looking up and down carefully, and carefully touched it with his hands, saliva was about to flow onto the cannon's body.

He is a person with a bit of knowledge, he once ran a lot of places for Chu Cai Lao in order to buy cannons, and also saw a lot of good things, not only saw the cannons cast by the Portuguese in Entrenchment Jingao, but also saw some Hongyi cannons made by the Guangdong government in Guangdong, and even ran to the big man, and also saw the cannons of the red-haired people.

Therefore, his appreciation ability is still quite high, and he can basically see the advantages and disadvantages of the cannon.

Today, he was taken to Perak by the Sea Wolf tribe, and in the warehouse, he saw a large number of cannons piled up here, and he was immediately suppressed.

He didn't expect the sea wolf to hide so many cannons, especially the more than twenty heavy Hongyi cannons, which completely attracted him at once.

He carefully looked at several of the cannons, these cannons have some patterns on them, very delicate and beautiful, but he couldn't see who cast the cannons, and his intuition told him that these cannons didn't seem to be made by the sea wolf himself, because there were inscriptions on them, obviously not Chinese characters, so it was very likely that they were cannons of origin of the Taixi people.

These cannons are very big and heavy, and they look very powerful, and they have also bought a few Hongyi cannons from the Francophone people before, but the Hongyi cannons they purchased don't seem to be as big as these here, and the casting level seems to be about the same as these cannons.

It's a pity that now they only have three left, which are placed on Dongshan Island, and cannot be used on their ships, and Chu Cailao has not made a large ship that can fit this kind of Hongyi cannon since he lost his three-masted Dafu ship.

This kind of cannon is what they dream of, as long as they can buy a few more and put them on Dongshan Island, ordinary people will not be able to move their nests, except for the sea wolf, of course, because the sea wolf is obvious, there are many Hongyi cannons, and they are by no means the opponent of the sea wolf.

So he asked the man who had brought him, "May I ask this brother, who made these cannons?" ”

The people in the council hall immediately replied proudly: "These cannons were made by the Gan Lasi people, you should probably have heard of it, some time ago, our sea wolves fought a battle with the Gan Lasi people on Taiyuan Island, and captured many of their cannons, which were dismantled from their ships!" The standard cannon, which is used by the dry silk people, is definitely a big killer! ”

After Ma Xiang heard it, the shock in his heart needless to say, the sea wolf is simply too powerful, this news is really not false, they did hear that the sea wolf had a big fight with the dry silk people some time ago, it is said that the sea wolf won a big victory, but many people can't believe this news, including them, they also think it is unlikely, but now when he sees the cannons of these dry silk people, Ma Xiang confirmed that the rumors are true, the sea wolf really won a big victory.

Not to mention anything else, just these cannons, placed here, are enough to explain everything, if the Ganlasi people were not defeated and fled, how could they drop so many cannons?

And when he arrived at Nanri Island, he also saw two Western-style large plywood boats docked on the dock on the other side of the shipyard, and these cannons should be the cannons loaded on these large plywood ships, which made it even more certain that the sea wolf had indeed beaten the dry wax people badly.

"Your department is really amazing! I can beat the dry silk people so badly, admire, I really admire! Ma Xiang exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest perfunctory, he really admired it to the extreme, this person is really angry than others!

Then the people who brought him with him showed him the monkey version of the No. 5 gun, the disassembled No. 3 gun, the monkey version of the No. 3 gun, the tiger squat cannon, the extermination cannon and other cannons, as well as a batch of arquebuses captured by the Spaniards.

And he did not shy away from telling Ma Xiang which cannons were made by them, Ma Xiang was very curious, and quickly followed, looking at them one by one, and looked more carefully than just now.

After looking at these cannons made by the sea wolf, Ma Xiang's back was cold, even on this hot day, he felt cold in his heart.

Because after looking at these self-made cannons of the sea wolf, he found that the quality of these self-made cannons of the sea wolf is not worse than the quality of those heavy cannons in terms of appearance, and it seems to have the meaning of exceeding, especially when he saw that the breeches of these cannons are very smooth, and the caliber is as big as it is, even if he didn't take a ruler to measure it carefully, he felt that these cannons were very regular, as long as it was a style, there was almost no difference.

Where is the same as the broken cannons in their hands, a cannon has a look, a cannon has a virtue, and the caliber is different, so they have to prepare shells for each cannon, which roughly look almost the same cannonballs, some can be rammed into, some are a little bit worse, but they can't fit in, so they are often more willing to use some messy loose pieces, because it is more convenient to load stones into the barrel than to load cannonballs, but it is still difficult to seal the door.

Originally, he wanted to see the arquebuses that the sea wolves themselves used without arquebuses, because on the docks, he saw that there were people of the sea wolves, carrying such arquebuses that did not use arquebuses, and were on duty on the docks or boats, but when he brought them up, he was immediately rebuffed.

The person who brought him over told Ma Xiang that those bird guns were for their own use, and that they were currently producing limited quantities and could not sell them, and that if Ma Xiang wanted them, only these arquebuses of the dried silk people could sell to them, and if they didn't want them, it didn't matter.

Ma Xiang casually picked up a dry arquebus used by the Silk people, after looking at it, he was still very satisfied, this original arquebus made by the Taixi people, compared to the monkey version of the Ming Dynasty, the quality is much better, these arquebuses made by the dry Silk people, with enough materials, exquisite workmanship, at a glance is a good guy,

Since there are these things, then the sea wolf's self-made bird gun is not necessarily more than the arquebus made by these Tessie people, which makes him wonder why the sea wolf's arquebus does not use the arquebus, which he really can't understand.

Next, the sea wolf tribes, according to the old custom, first asked the buyer to watch the live firing of their samples, Ma Xiang was taken to the shooting range by the sea, sent someone to drag out a few cannons from the warehouse, and after setting them up, began to test the cannons.

On Perak, which was quiet for a while, the roar of cannons suddenly sounded again, and the shells sometimes flew to the ground targets of the shooting range, smashing out a cloud of dust, and sometimes flew to the sea far away, stirring up waves on the sea surface.

Ma Xiang was frightened and at the same time, he was greedy to death, after he saw these cannons, he felt that they were all very good things, except for the remaining two Hongyi cannons, they couldn't find a cannon at hand, which could be comparable to the cannons of these sea wolves.

These cannons hit far away, accurately, and seemed to be not small, even the smallest kind of so-called No. 3 gun, can make a hole in a very thick plank a hundred paces away.

And the cannons they are using now can't reach such power at all, many times it's just a matter of listening to the sound, where are these cannons like this, one shot is counted as one shot, and it can really cause damage to the other party.

So Ma Xiang said on the spot that he wanted a part of these cannons, and asked the sea wolf to give them a price.

Seeing that Ma Xiang was very satisfied with these sample cannons, the sales staff of the council hall immediately pulled out a list and handed it to Ma Xiang.

(Okay, now that I'm finally safe, I can concentrate on sitting down and coding words, this time really tossed me badly, hurry up and stabilize my mind, save some manuscripts, and strive to resume two more per day next month!) ）
