History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"Sister, this city is very strict, how do we get in?" On a small boat not far from Qingdao Port, three or four people dressed as fishermen were slowly approaching the port with a wooden boat.

A woman dressed as a man squatting on the wooden boat glanced at the busy port, and when she heard the words of her younger brother, Wu Min turned her head, "Don't worry, I will be sent ashore later, you go back first."

Wu Min's real identity is a pirate leader. In the past, she was just an ordinary fisherman's daughter, and later she married her husband. It took a long time to find out that her husband's real identity was a pirate.

Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, what else can you do if you marry a pirate?Can only accept fate.

What's more, the family received a large amount of dowry, so it was impossible to take her back.

After a long time, Wu Min also got used to this kind of life. Her husband is a small pirate leader, leading a pirate team of 30 people, and earning a living by plundering passing merchant ships and extorting money.

A few years ago, I met a scumbag, and my husband lost his life during the fight. It happened that Wu Min was also involved in that action at the time.

Later, Wu Min was caught. Before turning her back to the government, she seduced one of the men and cried out that she was a good girl who was taken away by pirates. She went back to live a good life.

Although he lied to someone, Wu Min didn't regret it.

After living among pirates for so many years, she has become accustomed to using various means, and pirates were originally a place where the weak preyed on the strong.

Not to mention that her husband is not a good person, and he doesn't treat her that well. She has survived all these years by fighting hard. A woman who gets mad sometimes works harder than a man.

How could it be possible for an ordinary woman not to change after being in such an environment for a long time?

After her husband's death, the pirate group was falling apart, and it was about to be merged by other pirate groups who were watching and harboring malicious intentions.

It was Wu Min who stood up at this time, how to get up the new pirates again, relying on the mighty power left behind by her husband, and reluctantly gathered the pirates together. After that, people were beaten back.

Later, I probably felt that although Wu Min's group was small, they were not so easy to deal with, so I didn't bother to come to eat this piece of fleshy bone.

Wu Min led the pirate group to retreat and stay behind closed doors on the island, and brought a group of people to plant and raise fish on their own island for self-sufficiency.

Through these years of health and rest, the pirate group has slowly gained a firm foothold, and has established contact with several major pirate groups nearby, barely breathing in the cracks.

Once there was news about the treasure map, not only spread wildly in various coastal ports, but even some hidden pirates along the coast also got the news.

It happened that two glass bottles with treasure maps floated on Wu Min Island, which was simply the good luck bestowed on her by God.

One was sold by her through her relationship, but the other was hidden by her.

Like everyone else, she also wanted to find the treasure map, and with the silver that was sold, she wanted to buy another batch of firearms.

He learned from several big pirate groups that a large number of firearms had been shipped from Qingdao, so Wu Min came up with the idea of ​​this batch of firearms.

Of course she didn't intend to snatch it, although there are many ships coming and going in this port, but it is delusional to want to break through the port and enter the city.

If you don't enter the city, you can't buy firearms. For a while, Wu Min became a little anxious. She came here this time to explore the way, check, and how to ship out the firearms after buying them in a fair manner.

"Eldest sister, look, the windows on those towers are all gun barrels. We have to figure out a good way. Even if we buy firearms, we can't transport them away."

They are not a serious fleet, they do not have a pass, and they have to be inspected if they want to leave the port.

Wu Min followed the direction pointed by the man and looked over, looking at the hole of the black shuttle, the hairs on her back couldn't help standing on end, and soon she turned her eyes away from the terrifying gun mouth.

If firearms are found, it is very likely to be attacked by these artillery.

The wooden boat is getting closer and closer to the port, and there are already tall and big steel boats beside it. The small wooden boat is driving among the steel boats, as if walking among giant beasts. turn.

It would be great if they also had such a steel ship, Wu Min's eyes could not help but twinkle.

If one had a steel ship, it would be easy to transport the firearms.

She also knew that there was little hope for this, and steel ships were only sold to specific people now, and the largest pirate group in the East China Sea tried their best to get one, let alone her pirate group with less than 100 members.

"Don't worry, people always come up with a solution." Wu Min replied, and then said: "Put me on the shore, and you leave first."

"Yes, ma'am."

People are so strange, they may doubt the identity of a man, but if a lonely woman appears, few people will doubt it.

The wooden boat found an inconspicuous place and docked. As soon as Wu Min landed, the wooden boat quickly left the shore.

There is still a distance from the port. After Wu Min landed, he found a place where there was no one there, and took the clothes from the package. After putting them on, he returned to his daughter's body.

Putting the original clothes into the package again, she carried the package and walked towards the port.

"Stop, stop, where did you come from? Where are you going?" There is a checkpoint at the port, which is specially used to check people's identities.

Wu Min took out the household stickers from the package and said, "My lord, my concubine is a resident of a nearby island. This time I am going back to Dayang Village to visit relatives." The household stickers are true, and Dayang Village is also true. her true identity.

Even when the little soldier was checking, Wu Min took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and stuffed them, "My lord, please help me, my concubine hasn't returned home for ten years, this time I'm going home for a funeral. "

The little soldier handed over a few copper coins and took it, then handed her the account card and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, hurry up, don't waste my time."

Wu Min thanked her, and hurriedly left with the package and stickers. Before leaving, she looked back and found that the wooden boat had disappeared.

Wu Min went ashore this time for a purpose. It turned out to be to find out where the firearms were sold, and secondly, to find a way to transport the firearms away.

She found out that the guards at the port were relatively tight, so she didn't have much hope, so she thought about transporting firearms to the sea by wooden boats in the uninhabited places along the coast.

There is no need to think about cannons, the wooden boats they are on the sea can't move at all, it seems that at most they can only buy some firecrackers and the like, bullets are essential.

"Ouch!" Just when Wu Min was thinking, she accidentally bumped into someone, she just felt as if she had bumped into steel, and she took a few steps back under the impact and fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

When Wu Min was thrown into a daze, a pair of big hands helped her up!

Wu Min raised her head, just about to start cursing, but when she saw that face, she immediately swallowed all the words.

Why is this person here! ?

Wu Min never expected to meet this person here, the man who let her go.

And seeing the apology on this person's face, Wu Min knew that this person probably didn't recognize her.

For a while, her head was buzzing, and she just wanted to escape quickly.

After the man lifted her up, he said, "You're not hurt?"

While the man was talking, someone came over, "Fifth, what happened? Everyone is waiting for you to go back to the boat." He glanced at Wu Min again, and Wu Min quickly lowered his head to avoid it.

"Third brother, I bumped into someone, you take your things up first, and I will help this girl to find a doctor."

The third elder brother looked at Wu Min and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he complied and picked up the fifth child's things on the ground.

The third brother carried his things and boarded the steel boat not far away. Wu Min's eyes lit up when he noticed it, and the fifth brother on the side said, "Girl, are you okay?"

Wu Min shook his head, "I'm fine, I was bumped into just now, and I didn't react for a while." He raised his head and looked at the fifth child, with surprise on his face, "You, aren't you a benefactor?" Old Fifth's arm, weeping with joy, "Benefactor, I finally found you!"

Lao Wu was confused, and hurriedly broke away from Wu Min's arm, "Girl, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Wu Min shook his head, and said eagerly, "No, my benefactor, did you forget me? A few years ago, when you were on a ship at sea, did you meet a group of pirates, and I was surrounded by pirates at that time?" , Later you let me go and gave me some money..."

The fifth child, Zhang Dahai, finally recalled this memory, and he suddenly realized, "You are A Min!"

"Yes, I'm A Min!" Wu Min looked excited, "Benefactor, I have been looking for you for so many years, and finally found you."

Zhang Dahai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "It was just a matter of raising your hands at the beginning, you don't have to remember it for so long."

"No, how could I forget your life-saving grace?" Wu Min looked at Zhang Dahai eagerly.

Zhang Dahai dodged his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Amin, how have you been doing these years?"

Wu Min looked bitter, "What's the matter? I was sold to my husband's family by my parents when I was 13 years old. After my husband died, my husband's family didn't want to see me again, so they kicked me out. That year, I was also sold by pirates." I was arrested, and if I hadn't met you, I don't know what would have happened." This time, Wu Min and Zhang Dahai made up the story, and she was as miserable as she was in the story.

"In the past few years, when I returned to my natal family, my sister-in-law took away all the money you gave me before, so I could only rely on my natal family to live. Last year, my sister-in-law brother wanted to marry my family to a widower in his 60s. If I didn't want to, I ran away at night. I came out, and now I do some laundry in the city, barely able to make ends meet.”

Zhang Dahai looked at Wu Min with pain in his eyes, and asked softly, "Where are you going?" He pointed at her package.

Wu Min glanced at it and continued to smile wryly, "During this time, a kind of appliance called a washing bucket has been transported from the city, and I have received fewer and fewer jobs, so I went to the port to see if I can receive some jobs from the ship. "Fortunately, my subordinates gave her a washing bucket a few days ago, otherwise I don't know how to make it round.

Speaking of this, she carefully glanced at the boat that the third brother boarded just now, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she asked in a low voice, "Benefactor, can I ask if you have any clothes that need to be washed on this boat?"

Zhang Dahai was a little embarrassed.

Wu Min lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, benefactor, I made it difficult for you."

Zhang Dahai said, "That's not the problem, we just took over this ship today..."

A dark light flashed in Wu Min's eyes with his head down, he didn't expect this idiot to have such a background.

Steel ships have no identity, but they can't get them.

Thinking of this, Wu Min is even more eager to sneak into the ship. It would be even better if he could get the ship.

Even if she couldn't get it, at least she had to coax these people to help her transport the firearms to the island, and when she landed on the island, she wouldn't let her knead them.

Zhang Dahai glanced at the boat again, and found that several brothers were already standing on the board and looking towards this side.

The second brother even waved at him, Zhang Dahai pointed at himself and Wu Min, the second brother nodded.

Then Zhang Dahai said to Wu Min, "Why don't you go up with me and ask, and I'll ask if my second brother can find you a job on the boat."

Although the boat is sailing at sea, it is most taboo to have women on board, but Zhang Dahai sympathizes, thinking that his elder brother is not superstitious about these things, so he will ask if he turns around.

Zhang Dahai didn't mean much to Wu Min, he just felt sorry for her, and felt sorry for her, a weak woman, who had lived such a miserable life all these years.

Wu Min was overjoyed immediately, raised her head and said to Zhang Dahai, "Benefactor, I really can't repay you for your great kindness." If she snatches the boat later, she will definitely save him a way out.

"Actually, what I say doesn't count. It depends on what my elder brother says."

Regarding this point, Wu Min didn't care. She thought she was good-looking, so she didn't believe that she couldn't win a middle-aged man.

Zhang Dahai is already in his 20s, so in Wu Min's perception, his eldest brother must be older than him, at least he is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The middle-aged man Lin Mo didn't know that a pirate leader had already set his sights on the ship he had just acquired. At this time, he was chatting with a few people introduced by Wei Rushi at the auction.

"Old Bai, it's time to wait for you. What good goods are there in this auction?" Lao Song saw Lao Bai approaching from the passageway, and got up and shouted.

Lao Bai saw Lao Song and Wei Ru coming over, "This auction is held on it, and it has nothing to do with our branch."

When Lao Bai came over, Lin Mo got up to make room, and Lao Bai walked through the gap and sat on the other side of Lao Song.

"Someone came to ask me along the way just now. I really don't know. You also know that this time the higher-ups are very strict and don't allow our branch to intervene. But I can tell you that this time a piece of paper was shipped from Liaodong. Lots of firearms."

Lao Song "cut" and said, "Everyone knows about this, so it's up to you to say it."

It was because of the importance of this trip that so many firearms were dispatched from above.Everyone knows this.

"What I'm asking is what kind of firearms are there this time? Are they powerful?"

"Whether the firepower is big or not, I don't know, but the ship carrying the firearms is quite big." Lao Bai joked.

Lao Song rolled his eyes at him, since when are you still joking?

Lao Bai glanced around again, and realized that many new faces came this time, and they should be introduced into the union by other fleets.

He then said, "This time there are some good things to see. A group of hungry wolves have come in. I'm afraid that these firearms are not enough to snatch."

Lao Song also complained, "Already there are too many monks and too little porridge, and now so many people have joined, how many people can we get this time?"

"By the way, Lao Bai, I heard that the trade union is going to be changed? Didn't you find a job in the union? Have you heard what the specific rules are?" Lao Song leaned over his shoulder and asked in Lao Bai's ear.

Wei Rushi and Lin Mo on the side shifted their attention after hearing this sentence.

Lao Bai waved his hand, "Hey, don't mention this matter, and I don't know what the higher-ups think, saying that our rules are too messy now, and we need someone to supervise us." Then he said: "It has something to do with the fleet. Not too much, I thought about going back and dismissing this job, I originally planned to listen to the news before adding it, but I didn’t expect to be stuck now.”

"That's true." Lao Song nodded in agreement.

At this moment, there was still no one on the first stage, and a group of people probably got anxious in the cave and began to feel a little anxious.

The same goes for Lao Song, "Why hasn't this person come yet? The auction can't be held yet!" After speaking, he complained, "I don't know what these people are thinking. They are either drilling caves or drilling underground to find these extremely Weird place to hold an auction."

Lao Bai said: "You can't blame the higher-ups. You don't even think about what we are auctioning at this auction. Can you find a place to keep it secret? Don't hide it tighter. If someone grabs it, you will pay it back." have to."

As soon as his words fell, a very secret passage opened next to it, and when the people in the cave saw someone coming in, they were agitated for a moment and then quieted down.

Lao Song breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally here."

This is Lin Mo's first time here. He doesn't understand anything, so he can only watch quietly.

He has participated in several auctions, and they were all on the black market. Although there are firearms in the black market, there are only a few of them. It is impossible to buy them on a large scale.

So this time he brought all the silver and bought as much as he could.

Almost all auctions are the same. After some opening remarks, the auction will officially start.

The first item to be auctioned is twenty firecrackers, the price is two for one, and the price is not expensive at all.

After Lin Mo saw it, his heart beat like thunder. This auction is too bold. Selling firearms is like wholesale, selling box by box.

"30 taels!"

After the initial trial, Lin Mo felt that it was too cheap, so he couldn't help but open his mouth and also quoted a price.

Wei Ru who was standing next to him stopped him, "Don't take pictures of these rubbish, these firecrackers can only be fired once and refilled, it's a waste of time to use them."

However, Lin Mo felt that this was not a problem. He didn't bring much money, and there might be good ones down there, which he couldn't afford at all.

It's better to take more pictures of the firecrackers that these people don't like, otherwise he won't be able to take pictures later if he wants to go back and take pictures.

"You also know that I don't bring much money." Lin Mo said to Wei Ru embarrassedly.

Only then did Wei Rushi let go of his hand and stopped blocking him.

In the end, Lin Mo bought 80 firecrackers for [-] taels of silver. After calculating four taels of silver for one firecracker, he definitely earned it.

There is exactly one box of twenty firecrackers, and a box of bullets is also allocated. For the bullets, there is no need to buy them. Lin Mo can buy as many as he wants directly from the auction house.

After the price was photographed, someone came over with the contract. Lin Mo signed it, paid the money, and then received a note, which recorded where to pick up the things he photographed.

Lin Mo took a look, and spent another 40 taels of silver to buy two boxes of bullets, which he could receive together with the firecrackers.

Because of the delay, the second auction item, Lin Mo, was not photographed. It was a soaring cannon that could be carried on the shoulder. This kind of thing was dangerous, so it was a pity that it was not photographed.

The third thing, Lin Mo looked a little nervous, it was a small cannon that could only hit one mile.

Probably dissatisfied with such a small distance, there are very few people who bid.

Lin Mo raised his hand and took a picture of this, spending 200 taels of silver.He still wanted to continue buying shells, but Wei Rushi next to him stopped him.

"Don't worry about this, I will introduce you to a place later, where the shells are cheaper."

Lin Mo stopped, and continued to look at it. From the fourth item, the price began to rise. There was no price that Lin Mo could afford. The final price of each cannon was tens of thousands.

Lin Mo was also an eye-opener. Although he didn't have the money to participate in the later stage, he also saw a lot of artillery.

At least I understand that each type of artillery has different uses.

Zhang Dahai took Wu Min onto the boat, and the five brothers on the boat were already waiting.

"Old Fifth, you know this?" Seeing that Old Fifth stayed down there for so long, he thought something happened?But seeing that they didn't look alike, the second child called them up and asked them clearly.

If the fifth brother is blackmailed, these brothers will support him anyway.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, sixth and younger, this one is Amin." Zhang Dahai introduced to the brothers.

The second child frowned, how long have we known each other?The fifth child actually called this woman so intimately.

It's not easy...

Don't get me wrong, he is not talking about the fifth child, but this woman.

You must know that Lao Wu has never been interested in women. He prefers to be alone, otherwise he would have married long ago after returning to the countryside.

"Amin, these are my brothers."

Sensing the penetrating eyes of others, Amin couldn't help hiding behind Zhang Dahai.

Zhang Dahai opened his hands to block the eyes of other brothers, "Okay, don't look at Amin like this." Then he pulled Wu Min out again, "Second brother, third brother, do you remember? The woman rescued from the pirates is Amin."

Before a group of people could speak, Xiao Qi jumped out first.Pointing at Wu Min, he suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be you, the female liar, the one who cheated Brother Dahai of his money!"

Zhang Dahai hurriedly jumped over and covered Xiao Qi's mouth, "Amin, don't worry about Xiao Qi, she's just talking nonsense." Then he glanced at the others, "I've told you several times, those I gave the money to Amin on my own initiative."

Xiaoqi broke free from Zhang Dahai's hand, ran behind the third child, and yelled, "Brother Dahai, if you cover my mouth again, be careful and turn around, I will tell elder brother to fix you!" With a voice, "He also said that he is not a female liar, Wu Min. Isn't that just telling you Wuming? He didn't even want to tell you his real name. It's not because he lied to you."

Seeing that Zhang Dahai was speechless by Xiao Qi, the other brothers felt a little funny, and somewhat agreed with Xiao Qi's words in their hearts.

Although Xiao Qi said that he has some intellectual problems, but his intuition is very keen, he can easily detect who is good to him and who is bad to him.

Seeing Xiao Qi resisting Wu Min so much, the others, although they didn't seem to mind, were wary of this woman who appeared out of nowhere.

At this time, Wu Min didn't know that he had already been guarded before he took any action, otherwise he would have to vomit blood out of anger.

"Xiaoqi!" Zhang Dahai was furious, "What are you talking about, you, apologize to Amin!" No matter what, you can't just say the name of a woman's family?

Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue at him and made a face, "I don't!"

No one saw that Wu Min's face was gloomy for a moment. She didn't know her name yet, there was such a way of calling her.

The second child came over to interrupt, "Okay, okay, it's not that you don't know about Xiao Qi's problem." Then he turned to Wu Min and said, "I'm really sorry, our Xiao Qi's brain was burnt out when he was a child, and he was a little ignorant. excuse me."

With tears in her eyes, Wu Min shook her head and said, "It's okay, but I still want to say that Wu Min is my real name. If you don't believe me, I can show you my household stickers." Take out the stickers.

The second child hurriedly waved his hand, "That's no need, it's already rude for Xiao Qi to directly name a woman's family. Please forgive him for being young and affecting your boudoir reputation. We will make up for it."

Wu Min forced a smile, "I'm a widow, even if my boudoir's reputation is affected, how can it be affected?"

Seeing this, Zhang Dahai said, "Second brother, Amin lost her husband and was kicked out by her husband's family. There is nowhere to go now. I think our boat is quite big. Why don't you just find a place for her and help her out?" Let's do some cleaning and just feed us?"

Upon hearing Zhang Dahai's words, the brothers next to him frequently gave him winks, but Zhang Dahai didn't notice it at all.

On the other hand, Wu Min saw it out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't make a sound, letting Zhang Dahai speak.

The second child laughed angrily. He didn't expect that the fifth child would make a fuss about them on the first day. Did he think that he could put people on board at will just because the treasure map belonged to him?

The other brothers didn't do this, how dare the fifth brother?

The third child on the side saw that the second child's expression was not good, so he said immediately, "Dahai, it's too much to say now, let's wait for the elder brother to come back." He winked at him as he spoke.

Only then did Zhang Dahai see the ugly faces of the second brother and the other brothers, and immediately came back to his senses, feeling that he was really lost, and took another look at the ugly face of the second brother, and said nonuo: "Then wait for the elder brother Come back and talk about it."

The group of people were speechless for a moment, and the excitement of owning a new boat was scattered at this time.

Zhang Dahai complained that he was not speaking at the right time, but he looked at Wu Min, who was looking at him with relying eyes, and his heart softened. He thought about turning around and begging his elder brother. Help her find a place to stay.

Lin Mo didn't know that there was a trouble waiting for him. After the auction, he left with Wei Rushi, Lao Bai and Lao Song.

"It's this place. Basically, they can make the shells we commonly use, and the price is cheaper than the original ones."

After returning to the city, Zhi Rushi took Lin Mo to the depths of a hidden alley, knocked on the back door of a courtyard, and introduced Lin Mo.

"This place was actually built by our own people. Don't look down on it. There are all capable people here. As long as there are bullets and shells that have appeared on the market, the masters here can make eight or nine of them just by looking at them. Not far from ten."

While speaking, a word whispered from inside, "A cloud-piercing arrow."

Wei Rushi, who was outside, replied, "Thousands of troops and horses are coming to meet you."

Lin Mo on the side was speechless for a moment, what kind of slogan is this?

There was a sound of pulling the latch from inside, and the door was carefully pulled open. After seeing that there were only two people outside, the person inside opened the door again, "Please come in, both of you."

Wei Rushi led the way, and Lin Mo hurriedly followed.

"The slogan here is often changed, but before the change, the correct slogan will be placed on the union side, and it only takes one point to find it." Simply put, the slogan is also used to sell.

Lin Mo didn't take this matter to heart, but poked his head forward.

The person who led the way led them through several months of gates and into a relatively narrow courtyard.

Lin Mo found that there were a few firecrackers placed in the yard, but they were all made of pig iron and had rusted. Looking at them, they felt a bit shoddy.

"Be careful of the threshold." Wei Ru crossed the threshold, turned around and said.

Lin Mo came back to his senses, lifted his foot and stepped over the threshold. After entering the house, he felt that it was a little more lively inside.

There were three or four people in the room, and one of them looked like an old man surrounded by three middle-aged men.

"Master Mo, look at my cannonball. When it explodes, it needs to explode with iron fragments. Can you do it here?"

The old man took the blueprint and examined it, "Yes, it is possible, but I haven't seen the artillery with my own eyes, and the one I made at the beginning may not meet the specifications. And yours should be a skyrocket. The imperial court hasn't used it for a long time. Not at all." He said and returned the blueprint to the middle-aged man, "If we want to do it, we have to wait, and I don't know what happened during this period of time, so much business has suddenly increased. I am so busy that I can't breathe. A few apprentices are also busy walking around."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "You can wait, you can wait, I need a hundred pieces, as long as I can get them a year ago."

The old man murmured, "Years ago, this time is a bit rushed, at least it will be in February next year."

The middle-aged man calculated the time, gritted his teeth and said, "February is fine, try to deliver in early February!"

Wei Ru on the side whispered to Lin Mo, "It seems that this one is also hunting for treasure like you."

Before Lin Mo opened his mouth, he agreed with his words in his heart, and then glanced at the middle-aged man, who was one of the future competitors.

The old man nodded, then picked up a pen and quickly wrote a note and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Take the note and go to the next yard to find my apprentice, and pay first."

The middle-aged man immediately took the note, turned around and walked out.

Only then did the old man realize that there were two more people in the room, so he asked them, "What are you here for?"

Before Lin Mo opened his mouth, Wei Rushi said first, "Master Mo, we were introduced by Lao Bai. He said that the bullets and shells made by you here are the best. We need to buy some bullets, and we need lead."

The old man quickly wrote another note and handed it over, "There are bullets ready-made, you also go to the yard next door, there are ready-made bullets there."

After Wei Rushi took the note with both hands, he bowed and then retreated. Lin Mo quickly turned around and followed.

Wei Rushi explained to him, "Our bullets have lead and iron. You will often be drifting at sea in the future, and the bullet will inevitably touch water. You don't have to worry about rusting the lead."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement, he was indeed an experienced person, if he had, he might have chosen Tie Zi, who was more lethal.

He also thought of the bullets at the auction, which were made of steel. No wonder Wei Ru said that the price of bullets here is cheaper. Whether it is lead bullets or iron bullets, they are indeed cheaper than steel bullets.

In the yard next door, the entire yard was covered with thatched sheds. Under the thatched sheds were wooden frames one after another. On the shelves, all kinds of bullets were placed layer by layer.

The middle-aged man they saw just now was arguing with a young man in his early 20s in the yard. It was only after people approached that they realized that the middle-aged man was bargaining.

But the young man didn't care about the face of the other party and directly killed the price, and the middle-aged man could only pay the deposit resentfully.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, the young man came over and asked Lin Mo and the other two, "Give me the note first, both of you."

Wei Rushi handed over the note.

The young man took a look and smiled, "It turns out that the two of you are here to buy bullets, and the lead bullets are here." He then led the two of them.

Lin Mo and Wei Rushi followed him to the rack full of bullets.

The young man continued to introduce a bullet, and Lin Mo listened with great interest. He didn't know that the bullets were different, and the wounds they caused were also different.

Wei Ru then interrupted him, "What we need are flintlock bullets, not matchlock firearms." Maybe the firearms battalion of the imperial court still use matchlock guns, but they are not, they have completely eliminated matchlock firearms and replaced them with matchlock guns. Flintlock.

The young man smiled, "The price of the bullets for the flintlock is much higher."

Before Wei Ru could speak, Lin Mo said, "The price is easy to negotiate, I just want flintlock bullets."
