Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 260 No.80 Six Han Yaozao

With the full escort of the insurance team stationed in Xiaoqingshan, there has never been a situation where a caravan was completely wiped out.

Ice city
When Gu Ansheng came back, the materials that were to be traded with the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce were almost exchanged, and the exchange was more than the original estimate of 6 silver dollars, which could fill up nearly 5% of the goods. The freighter has also reached the conditions for sailing.

Invisibly, the time for Gu Ansheng to travel east to Japan again was advanced.

As for why there are too many, because a small half of it was snatched from the horse bandits, and it has to be distributed to Lin Laoba's insurance team at the price of Bingcheng. According to Gu Ansheng's calculations, throughout April, Lin Laoba's insurance team The extra monthly income of the team members almost exceeds 4 silver dollars.

Lin Laoba was very fair in this matter, and the teams stationed there also quickly rotated, roughly achieving a balance. The team that encountered the horse bandits made a lot of money and quickly rotated. Fumbled on the prairie.With this group of hundreds of people as a collective reward, the Zhu family insurance team in Xiaoqingshan are like hungry wolves. The insurance team members can't wait to see the fireworks blooming in the sky, and then gallop their horses like a broken bamboo, selling goods for money...

Gu Ansheng thought in his heart that according to his employer's rewards, including cattle, sheep, and horses, the coal yard's April income almost fell to Lin Laoba's insurance team, but Zhu Chuanwen couldn't bear it.

"Boss, I'm back!" Gu Ansheng pushed open the door of Zhu Chuanwen's office and said.

"I heard your voice in the corridor. Is it going well?" Zhu Chuanwen asked. It's been more than half a month. Males will be given priority to enter the factory, and then a pension will be issued. Moreover, people can't always be angry. This incident can be regarded as an emergency. Since it has already happened, let's treat the family members well to make up for it.

"Successful, Captain Lin's support is very strong, and there is almost no incident after that." Gu Ansheng said in his heart, who would dare, this is equivalent to doing business with a gun around his neck, but fortunately there is an insurance team, Mongolia The prince's armed forces just watched from a distance, and they didn't dare to collect taxes.

"That's fine. I heard that the MSG factory's Weijixian has already started loading cars?"

"Well, I plan to take the train tomorrow to Vladivostok, and the "Yilan" is expected to set sail in three days..." Gu Ansheng made some calculations and said.

"Okay, just do what you want. Hurry up and go home to meet your wife and children, and I'll give you a day off today." Zhu Chuanwen was considerate of this subordinate, and it was indeed hard for Lao Gu to travel around all year round, but there was nothing he could do. It's the most convenient for him to use.

Moreover, Lao Gu is like a magpie. On the day Lao Gu came back in May 1908, Han Yao’s first rifle, which was said to be an “imitation of Mosin Nagant”, was also manufactured and held in Zhu Chuanwen’s hand. hand.

"Old Nie, this gun is a complete imitation of Mosin Nagant?" Zhu Chuanwen acted like you don't lie to me, what the hell is Mosin Nagant?The gun is short, and the bolt is crooked... Anyway, there is no sign of Mosin Nagant at all.

"Boss, I used some German Mauser Gew98 rifles and Gew98 horse rifles for reference." Nie Shi said truthfully, but his mind was on the other hand, even if he used 99% of the reference, the bullet is still 7.62mm, which is not bad. Same as 1%.

Of course Zhu Chuanwen knew about this Mauser rifle, but then he asked a very embarrassing question.

"It's the Mauser Commission 1888, right?" Zhu Chuanwen took his seat as a matter of course.

"Uh..." These words stumped Nie Shize, a firearms expert.

Commission 1888 equals Mauser rifle equals Mauser G98?

But Chu Keqiu, who was beside him, saw Nie Shize's embarrassment, and said immediately: "Old Nie, to be honest, the boss never cares about these things."

It turns out that Zhu Chuanwen's sentence was wrong at the beginning. Although it is also a gun made in Germany, the Commission 1888 cannot be called a Mauser rifle. This gun can be said to be a hybrid. ; The barrel rifling is basically an imitation of the French Lebel 1888; the production is produced by three German arsenals together, and outsourced.

Therefore, although this gun was imitated by the Hanyang Arsenal, there were many problems, such as bombing...

This incident also involved an old anti-Semitic incident in Germany. The outsourcing company that produced the 1888 rifle had a man named Lowy. The Lowy family happened to be Jewish. So the German media used these rumors to criticize the government and The 88-type rifle is ridiculed as Judenflinte, which means "Jewish rifle".At that time, many Germans asked why Mauser was not chosen to design a new rifle.

This actually contributed to the emergence of Mauser Gew98.

Nie Shi has worked in the Hanyang Gunnery Department for more than ten years, from a low-level craftsman to a senior craftsman. He is also the kind of person who is eager to learn.I also have my own experience with the imitation committee 1888, such as the shell is easy to break, the chamber pressure is too high and the chamber is easy to explode, the bayonet is too long, and it is inconvenient to disassemble, etc.

The question was brought up, but it has already disappeared. The Hanyang factory is unwilling to invest more money on the basis of the huge amount of money that has already been invested.

Due to his friendship with the Germans, by a coincidence, he got a G98 equipped by the German Army and learned that there is a better G98 horse rifle in a conversation with a German businessman.Since then, the G98 he obtained has been regarded as a treasure, and he has made countless reports, hoping that the Hanyang factory can change the current production made in Hanyang and change it to the G98 in his hand.But in the final analysis, the Qing masters were unwilling to invest another penny, even if it was a mature transformation plan that was already in Nie Shize's stomach.

This also happened to be one of the reasons why he wanted to leave the Hanyang Gunnery Division. He was still in his prime and planned to come to Bingcheng to gamble, but unexpectedly, he succeeded.

After hearing what Nie Shize had said, Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help blushing, wondering what he just said.However, I was also moved by Nie Shize's experience. Sure enough, no matter when, there are always a group of people working hard for their own industry.

"Old Nie, let me introduce this gun." Zhu Chuanwen said softly with some emotion.

Let’s talk about the material of the gun body first. The Siemens Martin furnace bought by the Japanese was the product of the Germans at that time. That is to say, the steel produced by refining has problems in making guns and bearings.At that time, there was no problem in making the gun, but the barrel was just right, because the Germans also used the steel of this furnace to make the gun, so when Nie Shi saw the steelmaking industry in a small steel complex I don't know how excited I am when it's all German.

"That is to say, these are all German guns?" Zhu Chuanwen first listened to the material, and couldn't help feeling emotional, was it wrong?

"It is, but the Mosin Nagant 7.62 bullets are still used uniformly." Nie Shi quickly said, he was really afraid that Zhu Chuanwen would also make the mistake of the Qing masters, and he would not let go of a gun. Is it possible that Han Yaozao is going to smash Mosin Nagant to death?Although Nie Shi also agrees that the Mosin Nagant M1888 is a good gun, but now it is slightly inferior to the G1891, and he has made German guns for more than ten years. It is indeed difficult to transfer to the Russians.

"It's not impossible. Tell me about the origin and advantages of your gun. I'll think about it." Zhu Chuanwen said.He is not bothered about the German 7.92 and the Russian 7.62 now, and it can be seen that this Nie Shi has put in a lot of effort in order to insist on going up to 7.62.Anyway, the bullet production line is not engaged, they are all filled with bullet casings, and the bullet production line will be put on later.

"Boss, this gun has four advantages, the first is this short bayonet I modified!" Nie Shize first introduced in surprise.

He is not only an expert in making guns, but also in playing with guns. When he came here, he brought nothing but a box, which contained his precious G98.Moreover, through its own uninterrupted testing, it was also found that the long bayonets that are popular among armies in the world are not easy to use.

Speaking of Mosin Nagant alone, a bayonet is 45 centimeters in length. There is no flexibility to move, that is, Russians are generally tall, but it is not suitable for the Qing people at this time, so It was changed to a short bayonet of 25 cm, and the strength of the joint was strengthened, which is conducive to parrying.

Zhu Chuanwen listened carefully.Nie Shi immediately said: "This is followed by the second advantage, the strap ring!"

This is based on the G98 horse rifle, and the strap ring is directly placed on the side. This is what Nie Shize admires the most. In the final analysis, the gun needs to be carried by a person. Carrying it from the side can fit the back tightly, and it is not easy to cause shaking. .

"This is good!" Zhu Chuanwen affirmed.

"Also, the third advantage is the bolt." Nie Shi pulled the trigger with a "click". For the Mauser trigger, this empty-loading can be said to be the most notable feature. The bullets of the rifle are 5 bursts , After the bullet is pressed in, the 5 rounds are quickly finished, and the trigger cannot be pushed in, because there is obviously a jam, which is the machine's reminder that it is time to load the bullet.

"This function is good!" As a person who has experienced actual combat, Zhu Chuanwen is naturally qualified to say this. People on the battlefield must be highly nervous. After the bullets of this gun are proficient, 5 bullets can be fired in a very short time. It is time for the machine to remind me.

Nie Shi felt relieved when he heard Zhu Chuanwen's praise.

"Finally, it's the bolt. Boss, you can see that it's crooked. If you shoot without taking your eyes off the crosshair, you won't hit your cheek." Nie Shi showed up and demonstrated.

In fact, this gun has another advantage, he didn't say it, because in his mind Zhu Chuanwen probably doesn't understand the maintenance of guns.

"Then, what's the ring on the handle of the gun for?" Zhu Chuanwen asked after holding the gun for a while, feeling it.

Nie Shi didn't expect Zhu Chuanwen to find out this advantage.

"Boss, this is used to maintain the gun. Look!" Nie Shi said as he skillfully removed the bolt, laid the body of the gun flat, aligned the part of the firing pin with the ring of the handle, and clicked to disassemble it.

The firing pin is the most easily damaged part of the whole gun. The ring is naturally placed as a protection before disassembly, in order to give the best environment in a limited space.

Zhu Chuanwen listened to Nie Shize Barabara said so much, in a word, this gun is good, my boss, make this gun handle, don't make M1891 Mosin Nagant, and Zhu Chuanwen also guessed, what is this with Mosin Nagant It is estimated that it is a direct copy of G98.

At this time, Zhu Chuanwen's heart was actually very hot. This is the G98. The 98K in the future will be modified on the basis of this gun, and he is not entangled. He secretly made up his mind.

"Have you bought the machine for making guns?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"No, boss, isn't this waiting for you to speak? These are all produced piece by piece based on the existing machine tools in the ironware factory. Compared with professional bolts, there is still a big gap." Nie Shize Said.

"In this way, I definitely agree to build this gun, but the 3 silver dollars I allocated to you for this gun mechanism, after deducting the money for building the factory building, how many sets can you buy, and what is the output?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Boss, the money is still a little bit small. You can buy one set at most, and the Germans may not sell it to us. It will definitely be remodeled in Lao Chu's factory." Nie Shi said.

"Not for sale?"

"That's right, this is their latest gun. How could they sell the production line directly to us?" Nie Shi said.

"Then you can still modify the gun production line yourself?" Zhu Chuanwen looked like he had found a treasure.

"That..." Nie Shi was embarrassed.

"Boss, how can he modify the machine? It depends on me." Chu Keqiu jumped out at this moment, and after listening to Nie Shize's blah blah blah, he found a chance to speak for himself.

Nie Shi can change it, but the design drawing was approved by Chu Keqiu. It is unreasonable here and there is unreasonable. Now he doesn't have the confidence to admit that he can change the machine.

"How much would it cost for a production line with an annual output of 1 guns?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Boss, so many?" Nie Shi was shocked, and then pondered for a while and said, "This requires about 800 skilled gunmakers, as well as 60 silver dollars worth of gunsmithing machines for transformation."

"If you only buy the key parts, how about Chu Keqiu help you build the rest?" Zhu Chuanwen asked again.

"It will cost more than 20 silver dollars." Nie Shi said uncertainly.

"Then work hard in this direction and train this worker first. I will give you two years, and in two years, 25 silver dollars will be in place one after another, but there is one thing, the quality of this firearm must be checked by me! "Zhu Chuanwen said with certainty at this time.

As soon as Zhu Chuanwen's words came out, Nie Shi was stunned. He didn't expect his new employer to agree so much?

"Also, don't get me 7.62 bullets, just use the original 7.92, and there will be no more problems!" Zhu Chuanwen added.

"Master, as for me, if there are more people and more money here, I will build cars for you!" Chu Keqiu looked expectantly at Zhu Chuanwen boasting, looking forward to owning more than 20 yuan. appropriation of silver dollars.

"You? When your steam engine is finished, you can help Nie Shize transform the production line of firearms manufacturing. This large order is still with you. Are you busy?" Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile on his face.

"Come here quickly, come here quickly." At this time, Chu Keqiu was also crazy for his own allocation of more than 20 yuan, regardless of the future, but now he can't be weaker than this Nie Shize.

"Okay, as long as you can successfully complete the task in two years, I will allocate more than 20 silver dollars to you and let you build a car. What do you think?" Zhu Chuanwen said jokingly, building a car?Zhu Chuanwen naturally thought about it, but thinking about his current strength, it seemed that he was still a little weak.However, it is not impossible to allocate more than 20 silver dollars in two years. Let’s build it first, which can be regarded as accumulated technology. But for Chu Keqiu to build a car, he really didn’t report his hope, but he was thinking about it. Which car manufacturing giant can you invest in in the future.

"Okay, boss, you can take care of it. When my steam engine order is completed, I will start to help Lao Nie modify the machine." Chu Keqiu promised, and pulled Zhu Chuanwen towards his factory building.I thought to myself, today is really the right time, I wanted to help Nie Shize to support the scene, but I didn't expect to get the promise from the boss, this old Nie, why is life so good?
"By the way, Master, what is the name of this gun?" Chu Keqiu asked Zhu Chuanwen.

"Let's call it Han Yao Zao!"

Zhu Chuanwen left, leaving behind Nie Shize and his apprentice Tan Sanming. The two looked at each other. They didn't have the kind of ecstasy that ordinary people get after they get the promise, but rather a kind of indescribable sense of loss.

It would be great if this owner was an official of the Qing court... But it is also a good thing that it is not an official of the Qing court, otherwise it would be good if it promised an investment of more than 20 silver dollars.

At this moment, unconsciously, the two of them seemed to be knocked out by Zhu Chuanwen's heavy object.

The heart that was originally oriented towards the Qing court was gradually shifting towards Zhu Chuanwen.

It's not because of the money, but because they suddenly feel a heavy trust!
This may be the reason why Qu Zhengqian, Chu Keqiu, and Mao Guangting worked so hard in Bingcheng.
