Chapter 344: Flintlock Pistol
Yang Guang selected a total of 11 people as his personal guards at the Dayuan Island base, and one of the several family members recommended by Liu Yan also met the test and was entrusted with important tasks by Yang Guang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since the equipment has not yet been purchased from modern time and space, Yang Guang only taught cultural courses to these 11 guards, giving them some ancient military stories every day, and forcing his guards to learn a number of Chinese characters every day.
After resting for a few days at the Dayuan Island base, Yang Guang took his personal guards to accompany the Liu Jin brothers and sisters to Fuzhou to help them move their families over. Fujian has a lot of mountains and little land, the land is relatively barren, the grain production is not much, but the population is growing rapidly, so the Fujian people are more open and outward-looking than the northern and inland people, which are more conservative in people's customs.
In this era, the friendship of fellow villagers is very important, even if it is Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng, there are many Huizhou villagers around him at the beginning of the year. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Yang Guang, as an outsider, to gain the trust and loyalty of the local people in Fujian.
The Liu family's business is okay, but in the maritime trade industry, it is only a late learner, and it makes little sense to expect them to use their connections to search for sailors and seamen. This is the reason why Yang Guang agreed to move the Liu family to Dayuan Island, but always let Zhao Wen take root in Yangzhou.
The brothers and sisters of Liu Jin and Liu Yan, who returned to Fuzhou, showed great courage, and they persuaded the elders of the clan on the grounds of huge profits from the sea trade, and in just a few days, dozens of members of the Liu family packed up their soft and went to Zhuangzi outside the city, and then used the dark secret to go to the beach to wait for the long-awaited Taishan fortune ship to leave.
This is also in Fujian, if it is the north, it is really impossible to survive if it is not a natural or man-made disaster, and no one will be so happy to throw away everything that exists and leave their hometown. Of course, Yang Guang's battle record and sea power are also a very important weight, especially when the Liu family members learned that all the strange things that the Daming Sea got from Japan were all purchased from Yang Guang, there was nothing to stop their will to relocate.
After settling the Liu family on Dayuan Island, Yang Guang returned to Yangzhou on a lucky boat. He has a lot to do this trip, and the Yangzhou family goes out a lot, so it is necessary to take turns to go home to visit relatives and take vacation. Since the Dayuandao base is going to be expanded into a new city, of course, it is necessary to recruit a group of family members from Yangzhou to work for him.
In addition to these, Yang Guang also had to hand over the magic items used for communication to Zhao Wen. When Yang Guang personally demonstrated to him, Zhao Wen found that he could see his younger brother who was far away on Dayuan Island in Yangzhou, and he could also talk clearly, his whole eyes were straight, and he thought that what Yang Guang gave him was an immortal magic weapon.
Dozens of family members came back with a large sum of money, which naturally made others more yearning for becoming Yang Guang's family members, and the recruitment work went quite smoothly. More than 200 newcomers were left by Yang Guang to Tian Yihu for the most basic queue training, and he himself activated the space-time gate and returned to the modern space-time with a large amount of supplies.
After handling the various goods he brought back, Yang Guang immediately took out his phone and called the processing factory in Laos. He told the technician in charge that the existing seamless steel pipe "Fire Gun Art" would no longer be produced after the stock was exhausted, and the production of new design products that had already been finalized would be produced.
The caliber of the barrel has been increased a lot, and the length has also been significantly increased, which can ensure that the effective range of the lead bullet fired can reach 100 meters. Although the cost of the new product is more than ten yuan, as long as it is put on the market, the original Wufeng gun and Franc machine gun will be eliminated immediately.
Can be compared with this enhanced version of the five-peaked gun, only the famous Spanish arquebus in the history of modern time and space, the two have the same range, the Spanish arquebus because the barrel is very thick, the ability of the lead bullet fired to penetrate the heavy armor is stronger, but it is too heavy, when shooting needs a wooden fork to assist, in the environment of no armor or light armor, it is difficult to suppress the range faster, use a simpler enhanced version of the five-peaked gun.
Moreover, according to the historical development of modern time and space, the Spanish arquebus in the Ming Dynasty has only appeared for a short time, and it has not been popularized on a large scale, and it is impossible to be sold to the East in batches, so the enhanced version of the Wufeng gun that Yang Guang is about to bring over has no competitive opponents in the Japanese Warring States market.
Due to Yang Guang's previous large dumping, the powerful daimyo of the Japanese Warring States bought some old versions of the Wufeng gun, so that the number of shipments has dropped significantly. In this case, it is very necessary to come up with a more powerful enhanced version of Wufeng Gong into the market, so as to stimulate those Japanese daimyo to continue to buy and ensure that the benefits obtained by Yang Guang do not decline.
As for the last batch of old Wufeng guns produced from the stock in the factory, Yang Guang kept them for Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhizhejiang, and according to Liu Jin's return, he had already established a relationship with a secretary in the governor's office of Zhizhejiang, and as long as he was ready, he could communicate with Hu Zongxian's chief of staff Xu Wei through this person at any time.
Hu Zongxian's ban on the sea to clear out the Japanese invaders on the emperor's order does not mean that he himself is conservative, since he is ready to copy the old version of the captured Wufeng gun, it is naturally possible to take out some of the money to buy a batch of spots. As long as you make a good time difference, you can definitely pit this guy once, who made the sea route between Japan and Daming unsmooth?
According to the idea of R&D generation, equipment generation, and sales generation, Yang Guang felt that it was necessary for him to put the design and manufacture of flintlock pistols on the agenda. In the history of modern time and space, the flintlock pistol lasted almost 300 years from the appearance of the prototype to the complete elimination, during which so many countries of the Western powers had a large number of design schemes, and there were countless models and styles, and it was not ideal to simply copy them.
With the industrial foundation of modern time and space, Yang Guang felt that it was better to design a new type of flintlock pistol, and he was not very familiar with this aspect, so he dialed Feng Youhua of the Northwest Industrial Group, told him his needs, and asked the other party to help him solve this problem.
Feng Youhua patted his chest and agreed to this kind of trivial matter, and then told Yang Guang that He Yuelin was going to get married at the end of the year, and asked Yang Guang if he would come to the northwest to attend the wedding? If Yang Guang really doesn't have time, He Yuelin will return to Binhai City to do it again, but the specific time and place have not yet been decided.
Yang Guang didn't expect He Yuelin to get married too, but unfortunately he couldn't invite people from this plane to attend his wedding in another plane. Just when Yang Guang was thinking about what gift to give, his phone rang, and after connecting, He Shuxuan's voice came from inside: "It's really hard for you to make this call, go back to Binhai City, come out for coffee!"
