Chapter 140 The Wronged Head

As for Zhao Mazi, Li Gouzi and others, of course, they will not be polite. They immediately made a list. These guys in the governing hall have got into the eyes of money. They have already sharpened their knives and are ready to slaughter Chu Cai.

The price list issued by the director for Chu Cailao is the monkey version of the No. 5 gun, 2,500 taels of silver, one dismantled No. 3 gun 1,300 taels of silver, a tiger squat gun 220 taels of silver, and the price of a captive-killing gun is 500 taels of silver. In addition, there is a fire rope gun, which is 60 taels of silver, but it is not a sea wolf's own fire. The rope gun is part of the hundreds of muskets captured from the Spaniards this time.

Of course, if Mr. Chu Cai wants a bigger cannon, it's okay. This time, the sea wolf captured more than 40 cannons of various types from the Spanish ship. In addition, Keelungburg is still exploring and salvaging two cannons on the sunken enemy ship during this period, some of which are heavy guns, but the caliber and sea wolf's own artillery caliber Different and relatively bulky, Yu Xiaotian does not intend to continue to use these artillery, because if he continues to use these artillery, he must specially produce shells for them.

And these Spaniards have a large tolerance in artillery caliber, and the tolerance of the shells must also be large. Otherwise, they may not be able to fit in the gunbore of some cannons. Now Yu Xiaotian doesn't like these cannons at all. If they are taken back to the furnace for reconstruction, it will be a little pity. Now there is a bigyuane*, which is just right. To sell him a few.

As for the price, it's even higher. A ship gun similar to a 24-pound gun costs 4,000 taels of silver, depending on how much money Chu Cai can get to buy these cannons.

Xiaotian feels that Mr. Chu Cai should be a little old. After crossing the sea for 20 years, he must have accumulated a lot of wealth. These peers have the habit of hiding silver, like rats, hoarding all their wealth. Even if he beat a bamboo pole last time and lost the sea wolf four. Ten thousand taels of silver, but I guess this old guy should have a lot of silver. Now there are so many good goods here, and he can buy them. I'm not afraid that this old guy is reluctant to pay.

Ma Xiang's eyes flashed with greedy light, and he quickly jumped in front of the cannon. He lay on the cannon and looked up and down carefully. He also touched it carefully with his hand, and his saliva was about to flow to the body of the cannon.

He is a knowledgeable person. He once ran a lot of places for Mr. Chu Cai and saw a lot of good things for * cannons. He has seen not only the cannons cast by the Portuguese in Jing'ao, but also some Hongyi cannons supervised by the Guangdong government in Guangdong, and even ran to the cannons of the red-haired man.

So his appreciation ability is still quite high, and basically you can see the advantages and disadvantages of the cannon.

Today, he was taken to Perak Island by the sea wolves. In the warehouse, he saw a large number of cannons piled up here and was immediately suppressed.

He didn't expect that the sea wolf had hidden so many cannons, especially the more than 20 heavy Hongyi cannons, which completely attracted him.

He carefully looked at several of the cannons. There were some patterns on these cannons, which were very exquisite and beautiful, but he couldn't see who cast them. His intuition told him that these cannons did not seem to be made by sea wolves. Because there were inscriptions on them, obviously not Chinese characters, so it was very likely that they were originally from Taixi. The cannon produced.

These cannons are big and heavy, and look very powerful. They used to buy a few Hongyi cannons from Folangji people, but the Hongyi cannons they bought do not seem to be as big as these here, and the casting level seems to be similar to these cannons.

Unfortunately, now they only have three doors left, which are placed on Dongshan Island and can't be used on their ship. Since Chu Cailao lost his three-maus Dafu boat, he has not got a big ship that can hold this kind of Hongyi cannon.

This kind of cannon is what they dream of. As long as they can buy a few more and put them on Dongshan Island, ordinary people will not be able to touch their nests, except for sea wolves, because sea wolves are obviously, and there are many red cannons, and they are by no means opponents of sea wolves.

So he asked the person who brought him here, "Excuse me, who made these cannons?"

The people in the council immediately replied proudly, "These cannons were made by the dry silk people, and you should probably hear about it. Some time ago, our sea wolves and dry silk people fought a battle on Taiyuan Island and captured many of their cannons, which were removed from their ships! The standard dry silk cannon for self-use is definitely a big killer!"

After Ma Xiang heard this, there was no need to say about the shock in his heart. The sea wolf was simply too powerful. The news was really not true. They did hear that the sea wolf had a big fight with the dry Lasi some time ago. It is said that the sea wolf won a big victory, but many people couldn't believe the news, including them, and they also felt It's unlikely, but now after seeing these dry silk cannons, Ma Xiang confirmed that the rumors are true that the sea wolf has really won a big victory.

Among other things, these cannons alone are enough to explain everything. If the Gan Lath people hadn't been defeated and fled, how could they have left so many cannons?

When he arrived at Nanri Island, he also saw two large Western-style splint boats docked on the dock on the other side of the boat. These cannons should be the cannons loaded on these large splints, which is more certain that the sea wolf did beat the dry silk people badly.

"Your department is really awesome! I really admire that you can beat the dry silk man so miserably!" Ma Xiang exclaimed from the bottom of his heart without any perfunctory. He really admired him to the extreme. This person is really angry than others!

Then the people who brought him let him see the monkey version of the No. 5 gun, the withdrawn No. 3 gun, the monkey version of the No. 3 gun, the tiger squat gun, the extermination gun and other cannon, and a batch of muskets captured by the Spaniards.

And he did not hesitate to tell Ma Xiang which cannons were made by themselves. Ma Xiang was very curious and quickly followed him. He looked at the door and looked more carefully than just now.

After looking at these cannons made by the sea wolf, Ma Xiang was cold behind his back. Even on this hot day, he still felt cold in his heart.

Because after looking at these sea wolves' self-made cannons, he found that the sea wolf's self-made cannons, in terms of appearance, are no worse than the quality of those heavy guns, and seem to exceed them, especially when he saw that the guns were very smooth, and the caliber was as big as he did, even he Without taking a ruler to measure carefully, I also feel that these cannons are very regular. As long as they are in one style, there is almost no difference.

Where is it the same as those broken cannons in their hands? One gun is one appearance, one gun is one virtue, and the caliber is different, so that they have to prepare shells for each gun, which look roughly the same. Some can be hit, and some are worse. A little bit, but they can't install it, so they are often more willing to use some messy loose parts, because it is more convenient to install stones in the cannonbore than to install cannonballs, but it is still difficult to seal the door.

Originally, he wanted to see the fire rope guns used by the sea wolf himself, because on the dock, he saw the people with sea wolves carrying this kind of fire rope gun without fire rope on their backs, on the dock or ship, but when he proposed it, he was immediately refused.

The people who brought him told Ma Xiang that those birds are for their own use, and their current production is limited and they can't sell them. If Ma Xiang wants it, only these dry silk people's muskets can be sold to them. If they don't want it, it doesn't matter.

Ma Xiang casually picked up a fire rope gun used by the dry silk people. After looking at it, he was still very satisfied. This original fire rope gun made by the Taisi people is much better in quality than the monkey version of the bird gun of Daming. The rope guns made by these dry wax people are full of materials and exquisite workmanship. At first glance, they are good guys.

Since there are these things, the sea wolf's self-made bird guns may not be much bigger than the fire rope guns made by these Taisi people, but what makes him wonder why the sea wolf's fire rope guns don't use fire ropes, which is really puzzled.

Next, according to the old habit, please buy and subjectively look at the live ammunition shooting of their samples. Ma Xiang was taken to the shooting range by the sea and sent someone to drag out a few cannons from the warehouse. After set it up, he began to test the gun.

On the quiet Thunderbolt Island, there was a roar of cannons. The shells sometimes flew to the ground target of the shooting range, smashed out a piece of dust, and sometimes flew to the distant sea, stirring waves on the sea.

Ma Xiang was shocked and greedy. After he saw these cannons, he felt that they were all very good things. Except for the remaining two Hongyi cannons, they could no longer find a cannon comparable to these sea wolf cannons.

These cannons are far away, accurately, and seem to be powerful. Even the smallest so-called No. 3 cannon can make a hole in the thick shipboard a hundred steps away.

And the cannons they are using now can't reach such power at all. Most of the time, they just listen to the sound. How can these cannons be like this? One shot can really cause damage to the other party.

So Ma Xiang said on the spot that he wanted part of these guns and asked the sea wolf to offer them a price.

Seeing that Ma Xiang was satisfied with these sample guns, the sales staff of the board immediately took out a list and gave it to Ma Xiang.

(Well, now I'm finally safe. I can concentrate on sitting down and typing. This period of time really tossed me up. Hurry up and save some manuscripts, and try to resume two more times a day next month!)
