Chapter 1488: Gan Fushuizi's request

Marin was very vulgar. In order to disgust Ottoman Turkey, when he ordered the craftsmen to copy, he not only copied the core parts such as the size and the structure of the gun machine. Even the Middle Eastern style pattern on the barrel was ordered to imitate. Anyway, it's not too much trouble.

The only difference is probably the gun forging process. Rumikon is similar to the Spanish Musquette musket. It is made of double or even three layers of iron rolled up and repeatedly beaten with heat. Later, the Ming Dynasty, which introduced Lu Mi, also adopted this process.

However, this process of hammering the barrel takes a very long time. It takes several months to forge a qualified barrel, and the cost is very high. And if it does n’t take so long, the quality of the barrel ... you can see the reaction of the Ming military musketeers in the late Ming Dynasty ... they do n’t dare to use the guns distributed by the court, even if they use it, they dare not install it. Gunpowder ...

Marin used 17th-century craftsmanship and learned from the previous life video "The Gunsmith of Williamsburg", which was forged from a thick wrought iron plate. This method of forging is very time-saving. One day, a skilled blacksmith can forge a barrel, and the efficiency is dozens of times higher than the old method. Although this method has a high requirement on the quality of the iron plate, for Marin who can make steel, this problem is not a problem.

As a result, the manufacturing cost of Marin ’s Beihai State Gun Factory is much lower than in other countries. Of course, this refers to creating the same musket. After all, the Beihai country now uses a higher-cost clockwork lighter. Because of the complexity and high cost of clockwork guns, the cost of clockwork lighters made in Beihai is not cheaper than the firearms used in other countries. Even higher. Of course, the practicality is also higher than other countries.

After studying Lu Mi, Marin discovered a problem. That is-Lu Miquan is longer!

Rumi Kun probably learned from the Spanish Musquette musket, and its length is about the same as the Spanish Musquette musket, which is about 2 meters. However, the caliber has dropped a lot. In this way, Rumihyun does not need to be difficult to operate alone like the Spanish Musquette. Because of this transformation, the weight of Lu Miquan was reduced a lot.

The original Mushket musket weighs up to about 10 kg, or 20 kg. Lu Miguo's weight has been reduced a lot because of the reduced caliber design, which is only more than ten kilograms. In the Ming Dynasty, Lu Miquan was designed to reduce the weight of the projectile to about 15 grams.

Because the barrel is longer, it is more than forty centimeters longer than the 1.58 meter length of the entire Beihai country. Therefore, Lu Miguo's range is relatively long, reaching about 150 meters. Of course, this does not make much sense. Because, as long as it is a smoothbore gun, more than a hundred yards, the bullets are flying randomly. If you can hit you, it means that the bullet has something to do with you ...

Of course, in the crowded frontal battlefield, the extra power is still useful. After all, if the bullets fly for a while, it increases the chance of a bad luck in Mongolia ...

...

In fact, it is also very profitable to provide the Rumiguin Marin to the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt. Because of the differences in barrel forging technology, Marin's firearm cost is much lower than other countries.

For example, the current price of a matchlock gun in the European market is about 16-18 shillings (5 shillings = 1 gold coin), and even more than 20 shillings (that is, 1 pound). Because the forging of the barrel is difficult, the manufacturing cost generally increases by 10 shillings. After all, it takes a few months of hard work.

Marin used the 17th century barrel forging process, which completed the barrel in one day and reduced the cost by several times. In this way, if you are manufacturing a matchlock gun, regardless of the expensive stainless steel spring gun, the manufacturing cost of the matchlock gun in the North Sea country is only three or four shillings.

However, the sale of Marin to the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt will certainly not be given at cost. Even if they were sold to them for 10 shillings, they would have more than doubled their profits. If you sell a shilling for 15 shillings, it is double the profit ...

After thinking about it, Marin decided to sell it to the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt at the price of 15 shillings. This price is slightly lower than the market price, but Marin can make a huge profit. Moreover, because it is lower than the market price, Egypt will be very happy. In this way, the two are considered a win-win.

...

The craftsmen of Beihai State Guns and Guns Factory are all experienced craftsmen, and even complex clockwork flare guns can be early, not to mention firearms? Therefore, they quickly imitated the addition of Lu Miquan and asked Marin to examine the results.

At the shooting range, Marin watched the shooting effect and found that its accuracy was not inferior to that of the Muskete musket, except for the reduction in power caused by the reduction in caliber.

Marin rewarded the relevant craftsmen and ordered the gun factory to start replicating Lu Miquan on a large scale. At the same time, he sent a representative to Egypt to sell this matchlock to the Mamluk dynasty. Of course, not in the name of Beihai, but in the name of a chamber of commerce. Even, Marin intends to use the Spanish name to sell Rumi to Egypt. In this way, even if the Turks made a splash, they would only hate the Spaniards. The Greeks occupied by the Turks and the Kingdom of Naples occupied by the Spaniards are only separated by a wide strait. Maybe the two countries will fight.

Of course, the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty certainly would not believe that the Spaniards would sell them muskets. Because the two countries have turned their backs on the issue of India's spice trade. But Marin would ask the representatives of the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty to cooperate with the propaganda that the Spanish businessman gave them firearms. Because this is conducive to provoke relations between Spain and Ottoman Turkey. If the two countries fought, the Mamluk dynasty estimated that they would wake up laughing.

...

Immediately after the trial of Lu Miquan, Gan Fushuizi came up with him in his arms ...

Marin tested the gun in a shooting range outside the city. After all, if the bullets flew around the city, it was easy to accidentally hurt people. And Gan Fushuizi is now living outside the city, not daring to live in the city, mainly because Angela is angry. When he happened to learn that Marin was out of town, and not far from the manor where she lived, Gan Fushuizi quickly hugged the child and hugged up ...

Marin had a good temperament and said nothing. He also reported that Nobunaga had kissed him. After all, how to say is also your own kind.

Seeing the handfuls of rumors carried by Marin, Gan Fushuizi suddenly had a bright vision:

"Husband, is this the invincible firearm of the North Sea Army? Can you also equip Nobunaga's army?"

Having lived in Beihai for so long ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Gan Fushuizi also learned German. By asking the manager of the manor where he lived, Gan Fushuizi also learned about Marin's fortune-making history--it was founded by a phalanx dominated by firearms ...

Therefore, Gan Fushuizi is also looking forward to his son Nobunaga, who can also have a unit using such firearms in the future.

At the time, when Marin rescued her in the Japanese waters, she still remembered clearly that the hostile samurai who chased her was quickly killed by the musketeer on the Marin ship.

From that day on, Gan Fushuizi understood the truth-no matter how high your martial arts are, facing the musket, you have to die. In the words of Marin, it was-"No matter how good the kung fu is, take a shot" ...

The hegemony of the Japanese Warring States is still in the era of warrior hegemony. Basically, a handful of samurai, with a large group of farmers fighting each other. But the core of the war is still the samurai. If the samurai dies in battle, the peasants composed of peasants will soon flee.

Therefore, Gan Fushuizi hopes that Marin can provide her with a large number of muskets, equipped with soldiers loyal to her son Nobunaga, and used to kill the samurai of the enemy forces ...
