In a reception room of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company building, business manager Gan Tian was smiling when he received a nobleman from the Holy Roman Empire.
"Earl Lawrence, you are absolutely right to find our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. As long as you have money, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company can sell you all goods."
Gantian looked at Earl Lawrence in front of him and said with a smile.
According to the first news, the Holy Roman Empire's army was defeated by the Spanish army in the Netherlands. The army of more than 100,000 people was almost completely lost. Several principalities in the western region had been destroyed by the Spanish, and the one in front of them was Duke Lawrence, his principality was one of the principalities that was destroyed.
¡°I just didn¡¯t expect that he would actually come to Hong Kong. It seemed that he was here to buy arms and weapons and take back his family¡¯s territory.
"Really?"
"I need weapons, the most advanced muskets and cannons from your Ming Empire, muskets and cannons that are more advanced than the Spanish."
Earl Lawrence said expressionlessly.
The Spaniards are so abominable. After they occupied their territory, they directly announced the abolition of the principality that their family had inherited from generation to generation. They also seized their family's castles and wealth. Even one of their sons was arrested because he was slower to escape. He was imprisoned and sent to the guillotine.
His hatred for the Spaniards was like the surging waters of the Inn, and he vowed to send all Spaniards to hell.
"no problem!"
When Gantian heard this, he immediately agreed readily, and then nodded to the guy next to him. The other guy immediately understood and went to get some samples to pull.
Arms trading is an important business of Tianjin Ocean Trading House. It is the only trading house in Ming Dynasty that has obtained the foreign arms trade license. All arms and weapons sold to foreign countries are traded through Tianjin Ocean Trading House.
Soon, the guy came over with several Hongzhi Type 26 rifles, Hongzhi Type 28 pistols and some related artillery information.
"Earl Lawrence, please take a look."
¡°This is the Type 26 rifle developed and produced by our Daming Miyun Arsenal. This rifle is hugely different from traditional muskets.¡±
"First of all, it uses breech-loading bullets, and they are copper-cased bullets with uniform specifications. You only need to press the bullets in individually. You don't need to load lead shot and gunpowder yourself."
"The second thing is that it uses a firing pin to fire the bullet. It only needs to be pressed lightly to fire the bullet. Then the pull bolt is pulled, the bullet case is automatically ejected, the bullet is automatically loaded, and the trigger is pulled again to fire the bullet."
"Its rate of fire is several times faster than the muskets in the hands of the Spaniards, and its shooting accuracy is higher and its effective range is longer. It can definitely suppress the Spaniards easily."
Gan Tian took the rifle and introduced it in detail.
This rifle is undoubtedly still an obsolete rifle from the Ming Empire. It was developed and produced in the 26th year of Hongzhi. It is an old product more than ten years ago and has long been discontinued by the Ming army.
??But as far as Europe is concerned, it is still the most advanced rifle, with many innovative designs that can greatly speed up the rate of fire.
The reason why such rifles should be released to the European battlefield is naturally to make the battle between the two sides more fierce. The release of new weapons can affect the trend of the war and create new pressure on both sides.
The Holy Roman Empire defeated the Spaniards with new weapons. Naturally, the Spaniards would soon come to them again to buy the same rifles.
This business not only requires profit from both ends, but also requires cutting off one after another. Otherwise, we will not be able to live up to the current good situation.
After hearing Gantian's introduction, Lawrence picked up the rifle and looked at it carefully, and even operated it. As the bolt was pulled, the bullets inside were ejected. It was also very difficult to press the bullets inside one by one. It's very convenient. When you pull the trigger, you can hear the crisp sound and you will know that this is an absolutely high-quality product.
??Look at the workmanship, the long gun body is full of streamlines, the solid wood stock is carefully brushed with tung oil, and all metal parts are made of high-quality metal.
Even though Earl Lawrence is a layman, he can still see that this rifle is definitely the most sophisticated.p; "Third, I can also give you another 100 pistols for free, as well as 2 cannons and some cannonballs. What do you think?"
Hearing that Earl Lawrence wanted to buy 10,000 rifles at one go, which was a big deal of more than three million taels of silver, Gan Tian became more energetic, thought about it and said quickly.
Hearing what Gan Tian said, Earl Lawrence calculated it carefully and said: "These conditions, and the total price is 3 million taels of silver."
"No, no, you have cut off 200,000 taels of silver at once. The higher-ups will definitely not agree."
¡°Let¡¯s do this, I will give you another 1,000 sabers, so that you can form a cavalry team of a thousand people.¡±
It is definitely impossible to give you discounts, I can only give you a little more stuff.
"Can!"
After hearing this, Earl Lawrence thought carefully and finally agreed to the plan. He then waved his hand, and his men immediately came over carrying several large boxes. When the boxes were opened, there was gleaming gold inside.
"Gold made of blood!"
Seeing the gold, Gantian couldn't help but sigh. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
