Fifty barrels of black gunpowder are three hundred silver dollars. Demons can make a profit of two hundred silver dollars in this transaction, so his enthusiasm suddenly increased: "Liu Jiandian, please come with me. Although there is no Minnie rifle, my rifle is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Liu Chang said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you bring the artillery here? I not only need a large number of Minni rifles, but also a considerable number of field guns."

This time, Demons did bring a few small cannons, but they were all bought by Ge Wu. Ge Wu was about to use this batch of cannons to break through the Green Camp Yuhuan Camp: "I'm sorry, I brought a large number of cannons here, but they were all bought by General Ge and Ms. Ye."

However, although Ge Wuye and Niang Ye had a lot of money, they were not as generous as Liu Chang. Liu Chang bought fifty barrels of 5 silver dollars per barrel in one breath, while Ge Wuye only bought twenty barrels. The unit price of each barrel was Ge Wuye and Demons fought for an hour, and finally sold for 4.5 silver dollars per barrel.

Even with the addition of that batch of artillery and other military supplies, Ge Wuye's fleet only purchased 1,300 silver rounds of arms. How could he compare to General Liu Changliu who took advantage of the generous attack?

"But if there is a next time, I will definitely bring you a field artillery that is satisfactory!" Demons expressed his ambition to continue the transaction: "We must be happy to cooperate."

Ge Mengjin had low requirements for quality, and only required Chinese cannons that exceeded the Green Camp equipment. However, General Liu was both knowledgeable and had enough purchasing power. He could not buy some of the cheapest but worst-performance cannons from Shanghai to fool him.

However, when it comes to the rifle, Liu Chang asked again: "So are there any firing guns? The firing guns fired by the fire cap? Don't tell you that there are only smoothbore guns here."

As expected, Demons's sweat almost came down: "There are some, but I suggest you buy a large amount of smoothbore guns. A smoothbore tunnel gun only costs thirty silver dollars, which is better than any kind of rifle equipped by the government army."

"It's Qing Yao! Didn't the gun fire?" Liu Chang was a little disappointed: "What a pity."

This era in 1855 was an era of crazy leap forward in rifle technology. If distinguished by technical level, there are roughly several generations of rifles.

Fuse balls like bird guns have been eliminated worldwide, and are still in large quantities in a few countries and regions such as China, Afghanistan, and Japan.

The flintlock rifle (mainly smoothbore rifle) has been one generation higher than the flint gun, but within three hundred years of popularity, it has been completely eliminated due to technological progress. The army of major advanced countries in the world has been replaced.

The breech firing gun, which is more advanced than the flintlock, uses fire cap firing technology, which is more reliable and more convenient to load. It can also be used on rainy days and can be used in a concentrated manner. It became popular in the whole world after 1800 and quickly squeezed the flintlock gun out of the market. However, the problem is that they had just occupied the market in full and found that they had become obsolete products.

Now the most advanced technology is the Minni rifle. Many technologies such as fixed-loading have allowed the effective range of the rifle to jump from just one or two hundred meters to more than five hundred meters. In the still-continuous Crimean War, this rifle showed absolute performance advantages and completely overwhelmed the old rifles of the Imperial and Russia. The great powers are fully replacing the Minni rifle.

However, the good days of the Minni rifle were not long. Various breech rifles would eliminate this rifle within ten years, and breech rifles evolved into various bead guns. However, the correct direction of the breech rifle was the bullet-cage rifle. In the subsequent progress, smokeless medicine was used to replace black gunpowder. By the end of the 19th century, sharp bullets replaced round bullets.

From now on, rifle technology has undergone revolutionary changes every five to ten years. Many rifles are facing the fate of elimination as soon as they are fully equipped. There has never been an era in the history of rifles that has undergone such drastic changes.

But now Liu Chang couldn't even buy Minnie rifles, so he could only wait and find a few times. He wanted to buy a batch of bore-firing guns before talking about it. Demons was embarrassed by him: "There are fire guns, but there are only fifteen shots, each shot is forty silver rounds."

In the Shanghai Concession, the retail price of rifles only costs fifteen silver to twenty silver dollars, but Demons offered a high price of thirty silver dollars to forty silver dollars, but Liu Chang didn't care: "Take me a look."

Demons carefully took out a sample gun that was best maintained: "Look, this is a standard equipment of the British Army. It took less than ten years to hit the fire cap and it was almost brand new."

The rifle that Demons took out was indeed a standard rifle retired from the British Army and Navy, and the famous Bronswick rifle (brunswick) front-mounted smoothbore firing gun.

This rifle has been equipped with troops since 1838 and is preparing to fully replace the front flintlock rifle that the British team is generally equipped with. However, before it fully equipped with troops, the updated Minni rifle appeared and was fully equipped with the British team at 1851. As a result, this new era of rifle that was eliminated could only be quickly removed and sold.

However, in the Chinese battlefield, this Kronswick rifle is an excellent rifle that is absolutely excellent. Judging from the paper data, a Kronswick firing gun can be worth five soldier shotguns.

More importantly, he used a fire hat. The fire hat can be the most important rifle technology invention in the Minni rifle. An ordinary flintlock gun will have a failure once every seven firings, and the failure rate of the firing gun is one percent. Moreover, after using the fire hat technology, the reloading action of the rifle is greatly simplified, the shooting speed can be increased by 50%, and it can also be rainproof.

In fact, these fifteen Kronswick firing guns can be fully lifted by 100 green camp soldiers and bird guns, but Liu Chang entered the next question: "Let me see your tunnel guns."

The smoothbore gun that Demons took out is also a British retired equipment: "This is also a standard rifle for the British Army and Navy. It is very reliable. It has a hundred years of service history in the British ** team. You should know how reliable it is."

This rifle is the more famous Brownbess smoothbore flintlock rifle, which happened to be the target of the Cronswick firing rifle. It started production in 1720 and retired in 1840. It can be said that it was the absolute main equipment of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars and the Opium Wars. The Indian-type production used by the army alone exceeded three million.

All the advantages of the Cronswick firing gun are exactly the disadvantages of this smoothbore gun, but for the commonly used soldier guns in the Green Camp, only looking at the paper data, one Brown Bess can completely suppress two soldier guns, and the advantages in actual combat are even greater.

But Liu Chang asked the next question: "Dear Earl of Demons, how many brownbess musket do you have?"

Demons's answer could not satisfy Liu Chang: "Fifty brownbess are enough to fight against the melee gun used by one hundred Qing Yao."

"Is there only a little equipment?" Liu Chang was very disappointed: "I can afford unreasonable prices, but I can't tolerate my troops not having enough advanced weapons."

He shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to convince myself to hand over an order of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to you."

Demons only had the word "hundreds of thousands of silver rounds" in his ears.

Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars!
