Zhou Qingfeng's exhibition dinner was very successful, at least he thought so.The invited businessmen are strong businessmen in Goa, and many intentional business orders were given at the scene.The specific transaction naturally requires follow-up by the follow-up personnel.

But after the dinner, the merchants who returned to Goa were very worried.Not only the Portuguese frowns, but even the great ideas of Muhammad, the amazing Arabs are reflecting.After experiencing a dazzling display of goods, they all became silent.

No one can easily reject the great commercial interests, but a little wise man will understand that the ‘Emperor’s Majesty’ from the East has an unimaginable ambition.He is transforming the entire Middle East and South Asia through commerce.As for the Far East, it is facing a major change.

After returning to his own business hall, Master Mohammed gathered a vote of Arabs to convey the news at the banquet.When they learned that they could buy excellent weapons from the emperors of the East, and could even send for military training, they were all shocked, rejoiced, mused, and worried.

In the Near East and northern Africa, there are many communities of the faith-based community.But they are not ironclad, and even have deep hatred and contradictions between them.In the past, Europeans did not pay attention to these infidels at all, but only blindly suppressed, but suppressed the war between the enemies.And now...

If the emperor of the East was willing to buy our horses and sell us weapons, he would be able to do business with our enemies.In the past, everyone could not fight, or the scale of the fight was not large, because the strength was limited.It will be different in the future.”Master Mohammed could have imagined that the entire Near East would soon be at war.

“How many weapons can the East sell?”The question was asked, “What if we could buy all the weapons in his hands?”

“He said he could deliver about 30,000 high-quality fire rope guns immediately.”Lord Mohammed took a sample of a musket given by Zhou Qingfeng and passed it in the hands of everyone - the gun was very light and held very well.The barrel was black and shiny, and the touch was smooth and cool.The matching fire rope and lead pellets have very good consistency, which is not possible by handicrafts.

"There is another trouble, and the king of Goa also sent someone to contact the emperor of the East."We probably won't be able to make a profit from it."The second message of the Lord Muhammad's report is fatal.The Arabs do not produce, but they are thieves and merchants.If they lose the Indian king, their days will be very bad.

Although there are many Turkish kings in India, the strength and flexibility of the emperors of the East, the market here will be robbed of light sooner or later.If it is someone else, the Arabs may be able to brush some tricks.But in the face of Zhou Qingfeng, who had just packed up a meal, they had little courage.

“Do we really have to live on horses?”Some people don’t want to scream.

“You can also arrest slaves, and the Eastern emperor needs horses and female slaves.”He also hoped that we would bring goods from Africa, such as cotton, wheat, and palm oil in Egypt.He said he has a strong desire for agricultural products.As long as he can come, he is willing to buy.”Lord Mohammed said.

Hearing this, the Arab merchants became silent again.This is tantamount to blocking a commercial road and opening another, just a different kind of trade and object.But that doesn’t always feel like a lot of worry...

“How many horses do we have?”The Lord asked.

The merchants next to them shook their heads, "Not much, and they were sold to the Portuguese before."

“Let’s start hoarding again tomorrow.At least we have the advantage of knowing the news first, at least half a year.”Lord Muhammad sighed and went to rest with full of hope and worry.

The Arabs were worried, and the Portuguese in Goa were even more worried.The short and fierce war deprived them of their original high status, and the raging tide of trade pushed them to the same situation as the unpried people - in the eyes of the emperor of the East, as long as he could provide him with trade goods, it was the good people, and the bad people were obstructed.

If the Arabs had access to a large number of weapons, this was still within the psychological reach of the European colonists.Then the Indian king even wants to arm himself, which is definitely a nightmare.The Portuguese know what they have done in India for the last hundred years, and they are now afraid of reprisals.

Although Zhou Qingfeng has said that no force will be allowed to start a war near Goa, it is not known whether this commitment can be achieved.While the Arabs were gathering to discuss, European businessmen, led by the Portuguese, also gathered to talk about the form in front of them.Not only was the young master Anthony who was released, but also the fleeing governor of Codino sent close friends.

"This is the Oriental musket I bought."Although Anthony was not happy, he went to the dinner as a resident representative.When Zhou Qingfeng was selling his arms, he slapped his scalp and asked for samples from the other side, and the result was easily bought."The other side quoted ten dollars, probably the Spanish dollar equivalent."

The price was not very expensive, but the same amazement sounded among the European colonists, because Anthony spent a small sum of money to buy five.The five guns are almost identical.The master gunsmith soon began to measure the caliber, check the quality of the barrel, and even disassemble the gun to see the internal structure.The final conclusion is...perfect!

"The caliber is the same, and the projectile is the same."The gunman carried out a complete loading and tested all the lead pills he was assigned to him under the attention of the crowd."The projectile is all slightly larger than the gun, but it can be easily stabbed in by the pass.It's hard to imagine that if all the Eastern Fire Rope guns were like that, I don't know how the Orientals did it."

Five fire rope guns were disassembled, and all parts were common.Any set can be assembled and can be used smoothly.The gunsmith even shot the test on the spot in the courtyard of the party, easily piercing a thick plank at close range.He lamented again: "This gun is just half the weight of our heavy 'Muscott' to achieve the same power, which is remarkable."

The 16th century, which has passed, and the 17th century, which is beginning, are in full swing in Europe.One war after another greatly promoted the development of European military civilization, and also led to great progress in weapons and equipment.The Thirty Years' War, which was about to begin with a river of blood, was the first war that had been drawn into all of Europe, and the human brain would be turned into a dog's brain.

At present, flint guns have not been popularized in Europe, and fire rope guns are still the main equipment for war.Moreover, the fire rope guns used in Europe are very heavy, and more than a dozen kilograms is a common phenomenon.If there is a five or six-kilogram light rope gun, it is definitely a hot spot.This is something that not only the Arabs and the Indian kings need, but also the Europeans.

“This pyrotechnic gun is very well manufactured, with the same pellets and accessories as generic, which has an unimaginable logistical advantage.”The gunsmith assembled the five fire ropes again and sighed, saying, "If you can buy these guns in large quantities and ship them to Europe, you will be snapped up by princes who are busy preparing for war."

Although Zhou Qingfeng provided silk, porcelain, tea, medicine and many other goods, arms have not unexpectedly become the focus of everyone.As the people pondered whether they should also be in the arms business, the cronies sent by Governor Cordino said, "It is not the muskets that the Orientals themselves use, they have better them."

What?

“Do you have a better gun?”The gunman stood up from the table and held up his body in surprise.

The chief of the governor's cronies seemed to have come exclusively for the Goa gunsmith, and he seized a parcel he had carried and spread out on the table, and a beautiful and simple gun appeared under the radiance of the candle.The people gathered at the table and looked at their unusual appearance.

“I don’t know what to call it, it’s not a fire rope gun anyway.We had always thought that the Orientals were equipped with reed-ring guns, but it was clear that they had mastered a technique of firing a ignition.This terrible weapon was created.”

The chief's cronies said: "In the battle of the night before, we suffered heavy casualties, but we also killed some soldiers in the East.Although they took their bodies away, we later cleared the battlefield and found their three lost muskets.The Governor wants to know if this firearm can be imitated.”

Set-up and tuxedo rifles.

The gunner immediately began the study, but he quickly said, "This is steel, this is the best steel."This gun uses a very simple hammer machine, but this elastic steel . . .The gunman pulled the machine, and the hammer was blocked.Then pull the trigger, hammer with the fermented stone very powerful hit on the drug pool cover, out of Mars.

You can see the principle, what kind of material...

“I have to admit that this design is amazing, and this is the perfect weapon in our gun designer’s dream.I can tell you about its many advantages.But unless I can get the steel of this machine, I can't make it.Oh, and that bullet.Although it has not been used, I think it is definitely better than what we use."

After the gunman sighed, he could only shake his head and say in frustration: "I have to admit that it is not surprising that we lost the day before yesterday."God will not bless us in the face of such an enemy.”

Zhou Qingfeng in order to get high-quality spring steel scrap ah, and even their own outstanding "roadmaster" have been melted.In the later period, it was also possible to mass production of fire and Feng, which also had the credit of Zhao Ze and Stone using a large number of black technologies to improve the production process.Without this series of pre-technologies, it is a dream to get high-quality steel.

At that time, the local co-connation engaged in large-scale steelmaking, and the technical conditions were higher than that of Zhao Ze and Shi Dong.Most of the final ones are scrap iron, not steel.Nothing but a waste of a lot of fuel and labor—steelmaking is not an easy task, it requires science and rigor.

The governor’s cronies asked, “Can no one in this world make such a perfect musket?”

The gunman laughed bitterly, "This question can only be asked of God, at least not in Europe at present."

People are sinking again, and they even find it difficult to breathe.This pain seems to have been swallowed.
