Chapter 176 Lord, This Thing Is Invincible (First Update, Please Subscribe)
A good arms dealer will not only sell arms to the warring parties, but also stimulate the outbreak of war, or help the war escalate, so as to sell more arms.

Only in this way is a competent arms dealer.

Liu Kunpeng, who is an arms dealer, of course knows the key points. He is not worried about breaking the balance. Only when the balance is broken can there be more business.

How can they buy more arms without breaking the balance?

While talking, the two came to the ironclad ship.

Li Fugui patted the thick iron armor hard, and then said.

"Such thick iron armor can't be pierced by guns or cannons. Put it on this land, it's like a crab, a domineering character..."

Complacent, he said again.

"Brother Liu, it's unexpected that this iron-clad ship was actually built by Nan Hua himself!"

"It's actually made by our Nanhua, this, how long has it been!"

Liu Kunpeng's face was full of disbelief, and he even took a closer look, but he couldn't believe it at all.After all, he knows what that place in Nanhua looks like.

Why was the ship built so quickly, and what was built was an ironclad ship.

Of course, he didn't know that this so-called ironclad ship was actually just a wooden shell inside, and there were similar things hundreds of years ago.

"No, it is estimated that there will be a few more years, more than ten years..."

Pointing to the "Great Oriental" which was as big as a small island in the sea, Li Fugui smiled.

"When the time comes, we can build such a big ship."

Speaking effort, Li Fugui said again.

"We, can we really build such a big ship by then?"

Liu Kunpeng's eyes were full of disbelief. In his opinion, the ship was hardly built by manpower.

"It's definitely possible. Didn't the boss say that what foreigners can do, we Chinese can do as well, and we can do it even better!"

Staring at the "Great Eastern", Li Fugui said.

"I asked someone to find my nephew in my hometown. No, I will go back to Nanhua with the ship this time, let him go to school to study, and then go abroad. In the future, I will build such a big ship. What do you think, Brother Liu?"

Hearing this, Liu Kunpeng's face darkened. Seeing this, Li Fugui remembered that Liu Kunpeng had never found his brother, and his brother was taken away by Long Mao just like him. After so many years, he might not have known where he died. where is it.

"Hey, look at my mouth, I just want to interrupt, you take this ship to Suzhou as soon as possible, and now the Zhongwang Qiansui is there, I also heard that he is planning to attack Shanghai again!"

"Attack Shanghai again? Isn't Zeng Tietong besieging Tianjing now? Why doesn't he return to Tianjing?"

Liu Kunpeng said in surprise.

"Over there in Shanghai, there are Governor Li's Huai army, the foreign gun team, and foreigners. Even if an army of hundreds of thousands fights there, they may not be able to defeat them!"

Liu Kunpeng, who has lived in the Shanghai Concession for many years, of course knows the strength of the local area, and also knows that with the combat power of Changmao, an army of hundreds of thousands is just a small number, and it is impossible to take down Shanghai.

"Isn't that right? If King Li Zhong loses his troops in Shanghai, he might draw troops from King Kang in Hangzhou. Whether Hangzhou can hold on is another matter."

Li Fugui nodded and said.

"The meaning in the owner's telegram is very clear. Let's sell the ship to it as soon as possible, and then find a way to let him solve the siege of Tianjing. We can't let him lose troops in Shanghai, and Hangzhou. In any case, We must help them defend, even if they send us, only by defending Hangzhou can we continue to do business with them. However, the immediate priority is to sell the ironclad ship to King Zhong. With it, he will be able to clean up The road to Tianjing is not!"

A seemingly inconspicuous ironclad ship of less than 400 tons can play a role beyond people's imagination. Even Li Fugui can see that such a ship is unsinkable and carries a door. What kind of changes will the ironclad ship with giant guns bring to the battlefield.

What's more, it is King Li Zhong and his men who have been fighting for many years.

Like everyone else, King Li Zhong was dumbfounded when he saw this two-masted steamer coming by the riverside, belching black smoke.

"My lord, this cannon is the most advanced ten-inch cannon in the world, and the shells are nearly a hundred catties. With it, the lord's attack on the city is like tearing up paper..."

Liu Kunpeng doesn't know whether the ten-inch Dahlgren cannon is the largest in the world, but what is certain is that neither the long-haired nor the demon-clearing cannon has such a large cannon.

"My lord, with this cannon, we won't have to worry about taking down the camp of the demons. It's not like playing with the walls of the city of Tianjing to clear the demons..."

"Isn't that right, my lord, the Heavenly King has issued several urgent orders to let us return to Tianjing. Originally, we were worried about Zeng Tietong Tuweizi, but now we don't have to worry about it, besides..."

Zeng Tietong's "Tuweizi" has always been a confidant of the Taiping Army. Why is Li Xiucheng unwilling to reinforce Tianjing? The Hunan Army that can't get out.

Outside the city of Tianjing, the Xiang army of Zeng Tietong built dozens of strongholds. Those strongholds were gnawed down one by one and bombarded with cannons. There were not so many cannons and not so much gunpowder. It may exhaust the people, and it may not be possible to take down all the "soil fences".

But if such a cannon is used, it will be different... Maybe it will be blasted away with one shot!
While his subordinates were talking to each other, Zhong Wang Qiantui walked to the giant cannon that was one person tall, first looked at the giant cannon for a while, and then looked at the cannonball that was the size of a human head.

"My good fellow, this cannonball is bigger than the head. This cannonball will definitely blast the city away!"

As he said that, King Li Zhong slammed on the hull of the ship again, and the crisp metal sound made him startled.

"This is……"

"Iron armored ship! My lord!"

Liu Kunpeng knocked hard on the hull, proudly.

"My lord, look at this ship's hull is covered with an inch-thick iron armor, not to mention that bullets can't pierce it, even if a cannon hits it, it's like scratching an itch. If the kingdom of heaven buys this ship, even if it is The Xiang Army Navy has thousands of boats and hundreds of ships, and it is definitely not its opponent."

"What! Iron armor!"

Everyone was shocked and slapped the hull of the ship with their palms or waist knives. The crisp sound of the metal made them all look surprised. The iron armor is good, the iron armor... can't be pierced!
"And it also has a special weapon against fast crabs attached to the boat. Please look at it, my lord!"

When the voice fell, Liu Kunpeng shouted to the bridge.

"Xu Mingwu!!"

"Have!"

"Fire at the port target ship."

As soon as his words fell, Xu Mingwu on the bridge shook the handle of the Gatling machine gun, and the sound of breathing kung fu guns rang out. Accompanied by the rapid gunshots, a round of 20mm lead bullets flew out, but In the blink of an eye, sawdust flew across the small wooden boat, and the board was full of holes the size of fists. Before they could recover, the small wooden boat was about to sink.

"Hey, what kind of gun is this, and it fires so fast?"

Looking at the dumbfounded crowd, Liu Kunpeng said proudly.

"Gatling five-barrel machine gun, my lord, this gun can destroy a fast ship with just a few shots, and even if its bullets are exhausted, the Hunan Army Navy is not its opponent..."
