Chapter 1551: Artisans in Nuremberg

Marin and Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, negotiated the conditions and paid half of the deposit, then left Stuttgart under the protection of 800 guards. But instead of returning to the North Sea immediately, he took a man to the northeast and went to Nuremberg to find a gunner and a watchmaker.

Marin remembers that the first rifle in history appeared in Italy in 1476. But that invention was not famous, it was just a legend. Moreover, when Marin sent someone to Italy to find someone a few years ago, the gunsmith who made the rifle died. But Gott, the blacksmith who invented the practical rifle gun in 1520, is on record. This proves that this person's rifle gun has great use value, otherwise it will not be recorded in history.

The blacksmith named Gott in Nuremberg probably invented the first practical rifle gun in 1520. He can be recorded in the annals of history, proving that he made a practical rifling, making the rifle gun practical. In Italy in 1476, it was not valued because it failed to produce practical finished products. Otherwise, the Italian craftsman will have a name.

In addition ,. It is said that the clockwork lighter was invented by this buddy in history. And the invention time is probably 1515, which is next year.

Although Marin had already produced a clockwork flare gun in Beihai, he still respected the craftsman who invented the clockwork flare gun in history. This time, it's also good to get some clocks for yourself. After all, this guy is also an excellent watchmaker.

As for Blacksmith Gott, although it took several years to produce a rifled gun, it seems to be straight rifled, Marin decided to take him away. Can you make a rifle gun to see your luck? If you are happy, Marin can point him and let him "invent" the rifle gun ...

...

Speaking of which, Nuremberg in this era is really a cow. Two important inventions in the history of firearms actually came from here. Moreover, the time interval is only 5 years. It seems that there are many craftsmen here.

No wonder, in accordance with the laws of the Holy Roman Empire, Nuremberg is a safekeeping place for royal treasures of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course, this is just an honor, the emperor does not actually put treasures here. But because of its special political status, it promoted the prosperity of Nuremberg, making it the sixth largest city in the Holy Roman Empire after Milan, Prague, Genoa, Ghent and Cologne.

After entering Nuremberg, Marin discovered that the city was indeed prosperous and wealthy. Nuremberg streets are full of shops, people are coming and going, very lively and bustling. At least, it is more prosperous than any city in Beihai. After all, Beihai is dominated by agriculture, but it is not very commercially developed. Moreover, Beihai's business was monopolized by Marin's Beihai Chamber of Commerce. Unlike Nuremberg, it is full of flowers, and it is much healthier than the one in the North Sea country.

Looking for someone in such a big city with a population of tens of thousands is like finding a needle in a haystack. So, Marin took people to live in one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. Then, he sent his men to directly find the relevant handicraft guilds and spent money to inquire about industry information.

In this era, there are handicraft guilds in all walks of life in Germany. These handicraft industry banks will have a great impact on this industry. They jointly set a uniform price to avoid the decline in profits caused by the vicious competition of their peers. Of course, it also means bullying the market. Without the support and recognition of the guild, you can't get mixed in this industry.

It is because we married the daughter of the leader of the Weavers ’Guild that weavers from a country quickly became leaders in the industry and became the leaders of the textile industry. Then, the family business grew bigger and bigger, and also entered the banking industry, becoming a wealthy home.

In short, in Germany in this era, if you want to open a shop by virtue of craftsmanship, you must obtain the approval of the handicraft guild of the relevant industry. Otherwise, it's hard to move. As a result, handicraft guilds in various industries also hold a list of practitioners in the industry throughout the city.

Marin made people show the identity of the Grand Duke of Beihai, and was willing to give money, and soon got the information of the two craftsmen he was looking for.

Unfortunately, Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, had already taken it away. As for the reason for being solicited, it was because he copied the clockwork lighter of Beihai last year based on the news of the clockwork lighter of Beihai. When the news reached Wittenberg, Elector Frederick III of Saxony sent someone to recruit him. Therefore, Marin threw himself into the air.

Marin did not regret this matter. He was just guilty of robbing others of his right to invent and wanted to compensate for it, and he did not have to recruit him. Since he was recruited by Frederick III, it proved that his future was not bad, and Marin did not need to find him.

Besides, Marin chose to use a clockwork lighter instead of a simpler and cheaper flintlock. It was not because the clockwork lighter was easy to use, but to establish cost barriers and make it difficult for others to equip large-scale equipment. After all, a clockwork firearm, clockwork is the key. That stuff is now purely handcrafted by craftsmen, and the cost is very high. It is only because the Beihai country has produced a simple carbon spring steel that the cost is much lower. If a steel bar made of pig iron rods, a steel wheel spring is worth more than 20 gold coins, which exceeds the income of ordinary people for one year, the general military can't afford it.

It is estimated that the great lord Frederick III of Saxony, has the financial resources to equip a batch. In the next war, Marin estimates that he needs to be more careful.

But the next time the two sides meet, it is estimated to be the period of religious war. By that time, Marin was no longer a smooth-bore musket. Even if it is not a rifle gun, it will also be a single-headed bullet with a wind grid, and the range and power are not of the same level.

The reason why Marin does not dare to use rifle guns or single-headed bullets publicly now is that others are afraid to learn. At that time, the other party used to beat themselves, it would be too much. In particular, if the princely coalition forces exploded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and brought more of these guns, Marin ’s army could not be suffocated. Just like the Crimean War, no matter how powerful Mao Zi is, no matter how brave, the French equipped with a Mini rifle ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Charge is equivalent to death. In desperation, Mao Zi, who has many people, also had to admit his counsel.

...

Marin did not think about whether to use a rifle gun in the future, or a one-shot with higher process requirements. However, Gott, the blacksmith who originally created the straight rifled gun, Marin still had to bring it back. Anyway, this thing is best not to fall into the hands of others.

But after Marin sent someone to the Blacksmith Guild to inquire, he was a little dumbfounded. Because the people of the Blacksmith Guild told Marin ’s men that there were three blacksmiths called Gott in Nuremberg, and also included a young blacksmith apprentice who did n’t teach ...

Marin sent people to call two blacksmiths named Gott, who had opened their own shop, and talked to them to see if they were the Gott he imagined. As a result, neither of them knew how to build a musket, and had little interest in forging a musket, leaving Marin speechless ...

"Is that the young apprentice?" Marin couldn't believe it. However, I thought that the blacksmith named Gott only invented the rifle gun in 1520, but 6 years later, maybe, now people are still young ...

So Marin sent people to blacksmith apprentice Gott, and exchanged clichés. As a result, Marin discovered that this blacksmith apprentice Gott was really interested in building a musket. And the master he followed was also good at building a matchlock gun ... and the young blacksmith apprentice Gott is also the last year of his seven-year career as a blacksmith apprentice. Next year, he is eligible to open a blacksmith shop on his own ...

For this little-known little blacksmith, Marin didn't say anything, but only expressed a little intention, and the young blacksmith Gott immediately did not hesitate to go with Marin. After all, a little blacksmith apprentice like him who did n’t have any reputation, followed the nobility, and his future seemed brighter ...
