Chapter 110: The Guo Family's Gift
Fire gun, also known as fire pipe.
It can be regarded as the most primitive firearm in the world.
Many people say that a cannon is a magnified gun, but in fact, it should be the other way around - the gun is a minted cannon.
Firearms are essentially weapons that use gunpowder as propulsion, put gunpowder, put in bullets, ignite and fire, there is no doubt that although the cannon is made of more materials and more powerful, but from the point of view of the difficulty of production, it is necessary to make a thin and well-proportioned iron pipe than to make a gun barrel.
But no matter when it comes to the horizon, the firebolt is still just a firebolt, front-loading ammunition, a single shot, difficult aim, and a fluctuating trajectory, compared with the bow and arrow, the biggest advantage of the firebolt is probably that there is no need for people to pull the bowstring to exert force, and the quality of the soldiers is not high, and the training is simple.
If it really wants to be compared to the flintlock rifled gun in Fang Bei's hand, it is really a heaven and an earth.
But even if the difference between heaven and earth is obvious, one thing is still obvious - that is, whether it is a firearm or a flintlock pistol, it is undoubtedly contraband in this era.
Guo Sheng was able to get so many firecrackers—almost a whole box, less than fifty, more than a hundred, and he could already arm a small army.
And these firecrackers were to be given to Wang Zhi as a gift.
It's a little confusing.
What did the Guo family have to do to make such a big bet on Wang Zhi.
"Firebolt." Xue Ling said with a complicated expression.
Of course Xue Ling has seen this thing, there is a Shenji Battalion in Yanjing City, which is equipped with a large number of firearms, which can be regarded as the most advanced firearms corps today, and if there are really a hundred firearms to shoot, then there is basically no martial arts master in front of him.
Even if Dacheng's King Kong is not bad at the Black Heaven Demon Skill, in the face of the musket that is fired, he can take one or two shots, ten shots, and he can really take hundreds of shots.
"Hmm, firebolts." Yin Ye nodded and said, "The bet made by the Guo family is quite small. ”
"If you are willing, take this boat to report to the official now, and you can copy the Guo family when you turn around."
"Even if you can't copy it, you can let the Guo family take off a layer of skin."
Yin Ye looked at Fang Bei's expression and smiled: "Okay, I'm just kidding." ”
After saying this, as if to cover up something, Yin Ye continued to open the next box, which was a bundle of various colors of precious silk, the texture and style of these silks were the best choice, but compared with the previous two boxes, the explosion point was much less.
The fourth box is tea.
The fifth chest is porcelain.
The sixth box was a little interesting, it turned out to be a jar of gunpowder sealed tightly, and it was a little surprising to see it.
Because these boxes are really interesting.
Sending gold and silver and arms is actually quite understandable, but sending these very serious commodities makes people a little confused.
On the ground floor of the cabin, there are a total of twenty boxes.
Under Yin Ye's men, these chests were opened one by one, and there were four chests of gold and silver, four boxes of firearms, two boxes of gunpowder, two boxes of tea, four boxes of porcelain, and four boxes of silk.
If you only look at gold, silver, firecrackers and gunpowder, these goods are really quite normal for you not to mention.
If you only look at tea, porcelain and silk, these goods are quite normal.
But when mixed together, it seems a little nondescript.
In particular, these goods were given to Wang Zhi.
Sending gold, silver and firearms to pirates, even the Guo family can't bear this crime, Guo Sheng is willing to hand over these goods to Fang Bei, probably a very important reason is his trust in Fang Bei.
That's the kind of feeling that I put in your hands, but I'm sure you won't hurt me.
"It's a little hard to understand." Xue Ling looked at the twenty open boxes and muttered.
The combined value of these boxes is really valuable, and the total value is estimated to be close to 100,000 taels - in addition to the four most precious boxes of gold and silver, the remaining firearms, gunpowder, porcelain, silk and so on, although they are also quite valuable, but the value is like that.
A big bet and bet of 100,000 taels of silver, but I don't know what the final result will be.
"So what do you think?" Yin Ye looked at Fang Bei with a smile: "Look at your good brother, no, it shouldn't be said to be your good brother." ”
"This should be the choice of the entire Guo family."
What can Fang Bei think?
Don't just choose to see with your eyes.
He reached out and closed the first box, then locked the iron lock again.
One by one, don't re-lock all the boxes.
"Since you have seen all the goods, how should you look at it, it is not for me to say, but for you." Fang Bei looked at Yin Ye and said.
In fact, the reason why I came to the bottom of the cabin to see these boxes was because of the new assassination mission issued by the hive, whether it was Qiu Dayu or Guang Jiqi, it could be regarded as an important task of the imperial court.
So before getting on the boat, Fang Bei still wants to ask first.
Is there a need to get on this boat?
"The Guo family's idea is not so simple." Yin Ye said with a faint smile: "If the Guo family, which has been standing in Shenzhou for a hundred years, will hand over their hole cards so straightforwardly, it is inexplicable and generous." ”
If it wasn't clear before, then after looking at these things sent by the Guo family, many things seem to be revealed.
"Can someone explain it to me?" Although Xue Ling was always on the scene, she only felt that she was the second monk and was confused.
"You can only understand it, but you can't say it." Fang Bei looked at Xue Ling and smiled and said, "In short, the Guo family is currently betting on two ends. ”
"So do we still want to deliver these goods?" Xue Ling asked.
"Send, of course." Fang Bei nodded and said, "Not only do we have to send them, but we also have to send these to Wang Zhi in their original form." ”
"I also want to take a look by the way, who is the owner of the Five Peaks, known as the King of Hui, is sacred."
"Do you want to send it?" Xue Ling nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then those two generals, are we going to kill them?" ”
Since the goods are to be delivered, it seems that people are also going to be killed.
After all, it is a task of the land name, and the reward is so rich, but the strength of the assassination target often does not have the strength of the land name.
Such a task, if you exclude the influence of the imperial court background, Xue Ling feels that it is just a Xuanzi task at best.
If you think about it carefully, it's been a long time since I've done the Xuanzi number task, and I'm still a little nostalgic.
"People." Don't sell it quietly.
"Let's take a look."
"What to see?" Xue Ling looked at Fang Bei.
"Guang Jiqi." The boy said quietly.
