Chapter 18: Mohist Tricks

With the sound of muskets, Liu Tongyou and the others all looked at Li Feng who shot in shock, they had only heard of it before, but they didn't expect this thing to move so much.

Seeing the movement of the musket, the people around him continued to take a step back.

Liu Tongyou relieved himself and said, "Is this the musket of the Sui Dynasty?" It's so shocking that such a big movement won't be discovered. ”

"The Yangtze River is wide, and you can't usually hear the sound from there."

Li Feng put away the gun and secretly poured gunpowder into it when no one was around.

"Little brother, can you really get this kind of musket out of the Sui army?"

"Don't hide it from General Liu, I came to Jiangling to visit relatives with His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Sui Dynasty this time, and everyone in our team has a musket, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin also ordered someone to transport muskets from Daxing City to Jiangling, to assemble the Western Liang Navy of the generals."

"What?! This weapon is going to be given to the Xiliang Water Army, why haven't I heard any news? ”

Li Feng said: "General Liu, this is the idea of our Highness and Emperor Liang, it should not have been notified yet, because I am in charge of the custody of firearms, so His Highness accidentally revealed a few words in the conversation. ”

Liu Tongyou thought about it when he heard this: "Little brother, you steal this thing and sell it, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”

"I'm afraid, why don't I be afraid, but when I went to Jiangling City to see my old cousin, my cousin said that the smuggling work they did was very profitable, so I moved my mind, this thing is now very strict, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty even gave very few troops to other places, and this time he was willing to give the generals completely because of the matter of firearms, King Jin was in charge."

"I'm going to do this ticket, I will run away after making money, it will definitely be a capital crime to be caught, but as long as you want this thing, I will find the right time to get it, I will definitely not make so much money in my life."

"Hahahaha, the little brother has courage, I like it, I like it!"

Liu Tongyou pulled Li Feng and said, "Can I try this musket?" ”

"You have to wait a quarter of an hour after the musket is fired."

"I've had to wait so long."

"If it can be fired in bursts, then this weapon is not too invincible, the Sui Dynasty has already crossed the river."

"Hahahaha reasonable, reasonable."

Liu Tongyou took advantage of the cooldown time of this musket to continue chatting with Li Feng and probing: "Little brother, we want to buy this thing, how are you going to steal it?" ”

"I can't say that I stole it, anyway, it's just a job of doing a ticket, and I will take it out when people are not paying attention, and when they find out, I will cross the river, and I won't give them time to arrest me, King Jin and these people will definitely not think that I will resell the musket, and I will not be too strict and inexplicably supervise me."

Li Feng said his plan very simply, this is also Yang Guang's arrangement, if the plan is very careful and detailed, it is not like an ordinary soldier should be temporary, purely to take advantage of loopholes, to create a desperate image for him.

"Little brother, why is this gun so loud?"

Li Feng began to say to Liu Tongyou: "That's the case, I don't know what the internal structure of this gun is, I can't build it, I will use it, directly light this rope and wait for the fire to burn here, it will bang and the steel balls placed in it will be launched, it seems to be using the Mo family's machine technique, it is very magical, we are not ready to take it apart to see, and when we don't usually go out of the task, they are all put away, I and another soldier, the two of us keep it." ”

"The Mo family's trick, that's really magical, it's almost time, let me try it."

Li Feng put a fire rope again, and then asked Liu Tongyou to be mentally prepared: "General Liu, I lit the fire, you hit the wood in front of you without looking at the power, be careful of the sound." ”

bang

Even Liu Tongyou, who was mentally prepared, was still frightened by this loud voice.

After being frightened, he was overjoyed: "Roar, roar, this sound is really unusual." ”

Several people immediately walked to the front of the wooden plank, which was directly pierced and cracked, Liu Tongyou sighed: "The power is really not small." ”

"On the Turkic battlefield, we used this kind of musket to fire a volley at the Turkic cavalry, and their cavalry fled one after another."

Liu Tongyou said with great interest: "How many of these muskets can you get?" ”

"I can't be sure now, I heard King Jin say that he might transport three hundred poles from Daxing City to Daliang, which should be about this number."

"Three hundred."

Liu Tongyou seemed to think of the three hundred Xiliang naval troops holding such firearms against them, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, this kind of weapon is only available to the enemy and we don't have it, so what can we do in the future.

Buy, must buy.

"Little brother, I am very interested in your batch of goods, you are Lao Lu's nephew, Lao Lu has cooperated with us for so many years, I must trust you, you tell me a real price, and we will make this big order together."

"General Liu, I naturally want to do it, but this job is a job of losing my head, we have to talk about the ugly words and the price in front, I don't guarantee that it will be successful, this thing depends on the opportunity, I will naturally take it if I have the opportunity, I will not take the risk if I don't have the opportunity, you can make a price first."

Liu Tongyou thought for a while and said, "Little brother, what do you think is the right price?" ”

"The musket I heard that Da Liang and Da Sui traded was two hundred and fifty taels of silver each, and this was because His Royal Highness the King of Jin was the son-in-law of Da Liang and was willing to sell it."

Hearing this price, Liu Tongyou shook his head and said, "Little brother, we definitely can't buy your price, if this is according to their sales price, this price is too high, and it is not good for the lion to open his mouth." ”

"General Liu, I'm going to exchange my life, so how much money do you say, if the money is less, I won't go."

After thinking about it again, Liu Tongyou said: "That's it, little brother, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver and a musket, what do you think?" ”

"Isn't this fooling me to die? Don't bring such a low price, General Liu, although I haven't read a book, but I know that this thing sold by Da Sui to Da Liang will cost two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and if it is sent to Da Chen, your emperor's bid will definitely be higher than this. ”

Seeing that this kid was so stingy, Liu Tongyou was kind and powerful: "Little brother, if you don't do it, you will only have a dead end." ”

"General Liu, don't scare me, I've been thinking about this matter for two days, if I hadn't risked my life, I wouldn't have dared to get on this boat, two hundred taels and one strokes, no less."

Liu Tongyou looked at the boatman Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, we have been friends for so many years, you can also see how to deal with this matter." ”

Lao Lu had to pretend to pull Li Feng to the side to talk for a few words, and when he came back, Li Feng relieved himself and said: "That's it, I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels and one stroke, but if I bring one hundred strokes, you have to give it to me according to one hundred and seventy taels and one stroke." ”

Liu Tongyou immediately agreed: "If you bring back 300 strokes, I will give you 200 taels and 1 strokes." ”

"Is that true?"

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase."

"Okay, that's it, but you'll have to give me some deposit first."

"How much do you want?"

Li Feng thought for a while and said, "One thousand taels of silver." ”

"Yes, but you'll have to leave the musket in your hand for me first."

"Nope."

"What?! You kid can't bear to do this little thing and still want to do business? ”
