Chapter 20 The First Arms Business

After Yu Xiaotian sent Chen Xun away, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Hai (Zhao Mazi), Li Fu (Li Gouzi) and Liu Laoliu to discuss the matter. In addition, Lin Yiyang also invited him to talk about the matter together.

When everyone came over and heard Yu Xiaotian talk about the purpose of Chen Xun's trip, everyone also felt a little tricky. Originally, the minds of the sea wolves were quite dissatisfied with Yan Siqi recently. The reason is very simple, that is, Yan Siqi calculated the sea wolf behind it, and greatly reduced his coming to Nanri Island and Mao Shengyuan's transaction has reduced a lot of income, so now they feel that Yan Siqi is forced into a mess by Zheng Yiguan.

These people also have their own ideas about whether they should help Yan Siqi or not. Zhao Mazi doesn't want to care about this matter, but Li Gouzi thinks this is an opportunity to make money. Liu Laoliu doesn't speak, just closes his eyes and rests, because he thinks that Yu Xiaotian must have figured out how to deal with this matter. He can't express his opinion on this kind of thing.

Instead, Lin Yiyang looks like an old god. He has told Yu Xiaotian before. Yu Xiaotian called him to come here today, but it's just to give him face, so let Yu Xiaotian say this kind of thing himself.

Seeing that Zhao Mazi, Ma Xiao and Li Dazui were very reluctant, Yu Xiaotian said, "Don't be unhappy either! I think Yan Siqi is a white-eyed wolf. If it were me, I would not feel at ease with a tiger lying on the side of the couch. Although Yan Siqi has been estranged from me recently, he has not conflicted with us, which is already good!

The most important thing is that the rise of Zheng Yiguan is not a good thing for us. If he occupies Bengang, then we will become Zheng Yiguan's enemy in the next step.

Zheng Yiguan can't be underestimated. This person's city is extremely deep. Although he is young, he does things extremely fiercely! Moreover, he has a wide intersection and has a lot of friends with red-haired people and Folang machine people. After receiving Li Dan's plate, his strength must not be underestimated. I'm afraid he will become our strong enemy in the future!

So Yan Siqi can't fall down. As long as Yan Siqi does not fall down, Zheng Yiguan will be restrained. On the surface, Zheng Yiguan is still his brother of Yan Siqi. As long as Yan Siqi is here, he can't easily turn his head to deal with us.

And Yan Siqi is now weaker than Zheng Yiguan, and he may be devoured by Zheng Yiguan if he is not careful. Once Yan Siqi falls down, then Zheng Yiguan can let go of his hands and feet. Although we are not afraid of him, it is not always a good thing for us to have such a strong enemy out of thin air!

Therefore, this time I still decided to help Yan Siqi with this!

But how to help with this matter, we have to plan something else! It's definitely impossible to give them our current cannons. I told you before that we can do this arms business, but everything sold to them can't be better than ours!

So this requires cannons and guns. Find a way to get a batch of monkey guns as soon as possible and give them them to use, and even if they are given these guns, with their ability, they can't easily imitate them!

This casting cannon is not as simple as pinching a clay figurine, and the Tao inside is deep! Otherwise, the government would have imitated a large number of Western cannons! This time, when you shelled Puxi City, Ma Xiao also probably knew that the officers and soldiers were now equipped with Hongyi cannons, but the Hongyi cannons they cast have been carefully seen. They are stupid and stupid. They are not good at all. They are just goods!

So you don't have to worry about this!"

Although Ma Xiao and Li Dazui understood that what Yu Xiaotian said was reasonable, now Yan Siqi is indeed not the time to fall. Once Yan Siqi falls, Zheng Yiguan will be even more arrogant. I'm afraid that he will be able to free his hands and grab the territory with their sea wolves.

But if you provide Yan Siqi with so many cannons, I'm afraid that the cannon will immediately stop casting cannons for the sea wolf himself and go all out to complete this list. This is not a good thing for the sea wolf.

So they said their concerns, saying that even if they helped Yan Siqi with this, they could not let the speed of the sea wolf's own new cannon drop too much.

Zhao Mazi also nodded and agreed with their opinions and said, "The words of the big master are reasonable, and it's okay to help him this, but at present, if we stop the cannons and specially cast cannons for them, it will also have an impact on ourselves. It's better to give them less and sell them more or less face. !"

After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian lowered his head and shook his head and said, "No, even if you give them less, you can't be too small in quantity!" If the cannon can't provide them with many monkey guns in a short period of time, then you can first transfer a batch of No. 3 guns (six pound guns) that have been used for some time in the fleet! ......”

"How did this work? The number of No. 3 guns on our ship is just enough, and some new ships are not equipped with No. 3 guns yet. How can they be pulled out and given to them? This absolutely won't work! Big head, you can't be confused! This is the guy we eat!" As soon as Ma Xiao heard this, he jumped up and didn't care about Yu Xiaotian's face. He shouted with a red face and almost rushed to hug Yu Xiaotian's leg and begged Yu Xiaotian not to do this.

Yu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Ma Xiao, don't worry! I understand what you are thinking. Before I do this, I can guess that your sailors will definitely not do it!

But let me ask you, if you replace the No. 5C (new 12-pound light howitzer, which is called the 12-pound mountain howitzer used by soldiers) to replace the No. 3 gun, do you think you prefer No. 5C or No. 3 gun?

Ma Xiao blinked his eyes and immediately replied, "Of course it's No. 5 C!" Although the No. 3 gun is far away and more accurate, the shell is a little small and not powerful. Sometimes dozens of guns can't sink a big ship, or No. 5 C is more powerful. Although it is not far away, it is still far away and powerful than those rags of ordinary people. At most, more than a dozen cannons can shoot a two or three. The big ship sank and used loose bullets nearby, which was even more like an iron broom. If I had to choose, of course I would choose No. 5 C!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and smiled, "That's right! Although the No. 3 gun is good, after all, it is our masterpiece. The power is a little too small. Now we already have the No. 4 gun (eight-pound gun, but because the power is not much higher than the six-pound gun, under the case of a large number of six-pound guns, the eight-pounder cannon has never been put into production in large quantities, but as a reserve, it has been temporarily opened. The gun model is waiting for one day to be put into production in the middle of the gunfire). Now this kind of No. 5 C has been made, and this No. 3 gun has become our chicken rib!

In the future, we will use No. 5C to replace most of the No. 3 guns. Instead of smashing these No. 3 guns back to the furnace, it would be more appropriate to sell them for white money!

As for the cannon they want, I think it's enough to give them the old-fashioned tiger squat gun. Of course, the new tiger squat gun will not be given to them! In this way, continue to cast No. 5C on this side, replace the No. 3 gun of your fleet, and give it to them! Is it possible that you are even afraid of the No. 3 gun?

Hearing this, Ma Xiao immediately had no problem. He replaced one from their fleet with No. 5 C and eliminated part of the No. 3 gun from the fleet, which not only would not weaken their firepower, but also greatly increased their firepower. This business was cost-effective, so he naturally had no fart, and he was also happy.

As for Li Dazui's battle camp, it is not equipped with the No. 3 gun. It has nothing to do with him whether to buy it or not. Moreover, after he has a mountain grenade like No. 5 C, the No. 3 gun is also looked down on him. The weight is almost the same, but the power is a big difference. The No. 3 gun is at most the range and precision of No. 5 C. It's a little stronger, but he would rather have No. 5C than No. 3 cannon.

Therefore, no one objected to Yu Xiaotian's idea of eliminating a batch of No. 3 guns and selling them to Yan Siqi. What's more, the first batches of No. 3 guns to be sold to Yan Siqi this time were cast. Now after repeated use, they are old. Even if they are given to Yan Siqi, there is no need to worry.

As for the small cannon that Yan Siqi proposed, it actually refers to those bowls, captive cannons, tiger squatting guns and so on, which weigh no more than 100 catties, and the power is only a little guy of about a pound of cannon. This kind of thing is simply a piece of cake and does not take up much money. Yuan, you can still get a lot of money. Of course, the director of this business is willing to do it.

So the matter of the cannon was settled, but the number was temporarily reduced to 20 three-pound guns, and a total of 30 tiger squat guns and imitation decapital guns. If Yan Siqi can't give him as much as he wants, he will always have a feeling that the sea wolf itself is not enough, which is reluctant to look at face and squeeze them out.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian considered strengthening Yan Siqi's strength. The six-pound cannon and tiger squat gun alone were certainly not enough for Yan Siqi to fight against Zheng Yiguan, so he specially cast five monkey versions of the No. 5 short gun for Yan Siqi, that is, the 12-pound howitzer they used before, but deliberately reduced the thickness of the gun wall. , reduced the loading amount of gunpowder, and did not adopt the internal mold water-cooled casting method they have begun to use, and deliberately added a few heavy iron hoopes to the gun to reduce its power. At the same time, the weight was a little heavier than the No. 5 gun used by the sea wolf itself, and the gun frame did not use the marine four-wheel gun currently commonly used by the sea wolf. The rear cushioning and reset device of the pulley group directly adopts a bulky fixed gun rack.

In this way, it is more difficult for Yan Siqi to install these cannons on the ship. The best way is to install them in his fortress and use them as cannons for guarding the fortress. Even if Yan Siqi turns back against the sea wolf, these cannons will not have much effect.
