John pulled the cord of fire, and the wooden-handled grenade suddenly sparked, and he explained as he said that the grenade in his hand was thrown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rumble~~~

Although the wooden-handled grenade is filled with granular black powder, the power is still very objective, at least, the people around the landing point of the wooden-handled grenade will never survive!

Of course, the biggest advantage of the wooden handle grenade is that it is simple and easy to make, and the cost is low!

It is very convenient to carry alone, and it is not a problem for an adult man to carry a basket of this kind of grenade!

Even if the power of black powder is small, we can make up for it with quantity!

Anyway, throwing only requires manpower, and the most important thing in team training is people!

What's more, a wooden-handled grenade, as long as it is a person with a normal brain, will use it, pull a line, and throw it out!

It's easier than a flintlock pistol!

"Mr. Zeng, this kind of explosive that can be thrown by one person is called a grenade, after exploding, the shattered shrapnel can cause great damage to the people around it, it is very easy to use, as long as you can afford the price, we can hand it over to you together with the manufacturing method, just like a brown bass flintlock pistol, how about it?"

Although John is British, his Chinese language is no different from that of the Han Chinese, and he speaks the strange Beijing official dialect without hurrying or slowing, and the words are clear and easy to understand......

The squires who knew the power of the Han army had an extraordinary desire for any practical firearm, and the wealth accumulated over generations by these generations was enough for the British merchants who traveled thousands of miles to sell weapons without losing money......

Yes, the British sold weapons to the Manchu Qing local regiments, not to make money, just not to lose money, anyway, they sold flintlock pistols eliminated from the European war, the British have independently developed an advanced single-shot breeched rifle, and named the Martini-Henry rifle, which also uses a firing pin device, but it has improved a lot, and the failure rate is lower than that of the Dreiser rifle, which is slightly better than the Dreiser rifle!

The British have just developed a sample of this rifle and are planning to install it in large quantities, so naturally there is no need for an outdated weapon such as a flintlock pistol, and it was packaged and sold to the Manchu local regimental training!

Anyway, some of the Manchu local regiments practiced with people, and some with money, and the prices offered by the British were basically to make up for the freight, so they really didn't cheat!

However, the reason why the British were able to develop the Martini-Henry rifle so quickly was mainly due to the key technology provided by a mysterious person, Martini-Henry!

To the surprise of the British government, Martini Henry was not a weapons researcher, but a church servant!

It's still very religious!

Although the British government was very surprised, the advanced technology that Martini Henry came up with was indeed a serious and advanced technology, which solved the bottleneck that had plagued British arms manufacturers for many years, and the weapon superiority of the Han Empire had always threatened the world empire of the British Empire, and the British government did not care about anything else, so it directly used it and made the Martini-Henry rifle!

And the performance of the sample was superior to that of the Dreiser, which shone in the Great War of the Americas, and a large number of orders were placed by the British government at once!

Without Zhao Dutian's knowledge, the British began to secretly maintain the war in Europe while starting to manufacture a large number of advanced Martini-Henry rifles!

In addition to this, that mysterious church servant, oh yes, has now been forcibly admitted to the British weapons research and development center by the British government......

This Martini-Henry not only provided advanced rifle key technology, but also provided a practical formula for yellow explosives!

That is, the British government, with his help, has already produced yellow gunpowder!

The wooden-handled grenades that John provided to the Manchu regiment were indeed the most advanced in technology for the British, but the gunpowder was backward black powder!

This is also the habit of the British to keep one hand, and the things sold are always worse than their own, but for the Manchu regimental training, whether it is a high-precision brown bass flintlock pistol or a wooden-handled grenade, it is enough to make them smile!

After Zeng bald head saw that John brought such a good thing, he waved his big hand, and directly asked people to open all the boxes full of gold bars and jewelry, and the bright and dangling color blinded John's eyes, this was the first time he saw Zeng bald head so generous!

"Mr. John, whether it is the spot and technology of brown bass flintlock pistols or wooden-handled grenades, our Hunan army has all been covered!"

"Hunan Army?" John was stunned for a moment, and then reflected, and also understood why this bald head was able to take out so much property this time, it seems that the weapons that were traded to him before have allowed him to attract more squire groups to practice!

"Yes, don't hide it from Mr. John, because the Han army that came to invade is too strong, our people with lofty ideals in the land of Xianghu have united to gather regimental training from all over the country to train the use of firearms together, gather strength, and deal with the next attack of the Han army!

The land of our ancestors cannot be taken away by those overseas outcasts!

And the regimental training armed forces formed by our Xianghu children are called the Hunan Army, and I have handed over the trivial matters reported to the government, and everything has been approved, as long as the Hunan Army is trained, it is the time to drive away the overseas abandoners! “

"Then I wish Mr. Zeng in advance for his success."

"Where is it, it's just that although the Hunan army now has sufficient single firearms, its artillery only has self-made earthen cannons and red-coated cannons that are difficult to move, can Mr. John provide some advanced artillery?"

"I can't do this, artillery is scarce, and transportation is difficult, and no amount of money can buy it, unless it ......," John said with a deliberate pause, as if he did not want to continue.

"Unless what? Mr. John, but it doesn't matter, as long as the Hunan army can do it, I guarantee to satisfy Mr. John! ”

"Unless the Hunan army and the imperial court can reopen the estuary of Guangdong Province and seize a large harbor, so that our British merchant ships can transport artillery to you through the sea!"

After hearing this, Zeng bald head and a group of gentry behind him, their faces suddenly became embarrassed, none of them knew that the Han army had occupied almost all the coastal cities of the Manchu Empire in a few months, and they organized regimental training to use the terrain and the people's will to fight a defensive battle, but if they wanted to take the initiative to attack the Han army......

Even the most optimistic person would not have such thoughts......

"Mr. John laughed, but as long as it is a firearm, no matter how much our Hunan army will eat, we will have to bother Mr. John to work hard in the future."

"Haha, it's not hard, it's not hard, everyone takes what they need, I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

After the transaction, John swaggered away with a box full of goods, not worrying about the problem of black eating black!

John's name has spread throughout the Manchu ruling area of the squire's regimental training, this is a generous arms supplier, if anyone dares to touch John, it is against the Manchu Central Plains to raise the regimental training armament!

Those bandits and bandits, to these land snakes, are just little brothers!
