1717 New American Empire

After James followed Xiao Lin back to the company's first town to recover for a while, he took the guards who had recovered from their injuries and went home. Xiao Lin was also afraid of this unlucky brother-in-law. After Nina and Britney

Under his coquettishness, he gave him two Type 17 pistols to increase his firepower. If he encounters the same crisis again, with these two powerful Type 17 pistols, James himself can escape and will not be captured by the enemy again.

Secretly imprisoned or directly executed secretly.

Of course, Xiao Lin also believes that with the current technology of the British, it should be impossible to imitate the 17 pistol. Even the steel used to make the pistol cannot be smelted by the British. This is also a test Xiao Lin puts on James. Next

Once he was able to bring these two guns back intact and with no traces of disassembly, Xiao Lin thought he could sell them some breech-loading guns. If the two requirements were not met, then unless the Charles family explicitly joined the company

, otherwise don’t even think about getting the weapons manufactured by the company.

Even if he eats his two daughters, Xiao Lin can only continue shamelessly when it comes to matters related to the development of the company. And James really did not disappoint Xiao Lin. He had just finished a camping trip with Yu Wei and the girls.

, Xiao Lin, who returned to the company to deal with recruit training matters, received a message that James had arrived again, and said that he had brought a stranger to see him. Xiao Lin let him in, and James immediately lent him two Xiao Lin

The pistol was returned.

Xiao Lin took it and saw that there were no signs of disassembly. As a person with the ability of the most elite special forces in the 21st century, Xiao Lin still has some foresight. It seems that the Charles family does intend to side with the company.

In this case, he can no longer guard them here and guard them there. Xiao Lin returned the two pistols with a smile, then took out a box of one hundred bullets from the drawer, and pushed them to James

before.

"What does this mean?"

"Okay, brother-in-law, please stop pretending. How about it? You have tested the performance of the pistol, don't you want it?"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I did encounter robbers on the way back, and they were all defeated by these two pistols. Needless to say, the firepower and accuracy were far superior to the revolvers. I didn't want to return them at first, but my father

Your Majesty said, I cannot covet your things."

"Okay, now we are a family, no need to use honorifics. These two guns are yours, and there are a hundred rounds of ammunition. This is the last time. If you want them again, you have to pay."

"You mean you can sell us guns? Really?"

"Nonsense, I stick to my word, but I have to make an agreement in three chapters."

"You said."

"First of all, you are not allowed to disassemble and study it privately."

"That's for sure."

"Secondly, it cannot be exposed casually and must be kept confidential."

"Of course, it won't do us any good to be exposed."

"Finally, you are not allowed to resell it privately."

"Not to mention this. This is a military weapon. Whoever sells it is a fool."

"Okay, here is the list. You can take a look. By the way, who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this is Ijik, the second largest slave trader in Boston. This time, he came to you and wanted to negotiate a business deal with you."

"Hello, great ruler of Yanhuang Trading Company."

Following James' introduction, the white man with triangular eyes came up politely and bowed solemnly. In this era, the slave trade is a big deal, and every farmer, mine owner, and noble has

Slaves are needed. And white people will not choose to be the slaves of others as long as they can't survive. Even if they can't survive, I'm afraid they will choose to rebel. In this way, black slaves are needed.

The black slave trade began in the 15th century. European colonists sold African blacks to the Americas to serve as slaves. A large number of African blacks came to the Americas. In the Americas, European colonists seized Indian land and established plantations.

The massacre and enslavement of Indians resulted in a sharp decline in the number of Indians and the inability to provide enough labor for the plantations, so the plantation owners began to buy black Africans to work on the plantations as slaves, which opened the way for European slave traders.

In the modern history of mankind, slave trafficking has written the most shameful and despicable page. The European colonists, who were greedy for profit, took the large number of African blacks, who had tropical crop cultivation technology and were able to adapt to tropical labor, as the targets of slave hunting.

In the vast area from the mouth of the Senegal River to the mouth of the Congo River, slave ships from European colonial countries were moored one after another. The black prows of the ships were like open bloody mouths, waiting to swallow human flesh.

According to statistics, tens of millions of Africans were killed during the 400-year enslavement process of the black tribe's "Slave Hunting War"; in the first half of the 18th century, Santo Domingo Island imported a total of 2.8 million slaves, but by 1976 only 2.8 million slaves were imported.

There are more than 65,000 people left, and an average of more than 40,000 people die every year. According to the calculation method that for every slave transported to the Americas, at least about 10 black Africans must be sacrificed. The slave trade has caused Africa to lose 100 million people. This number is equivalent to 1980

The total population of Africa.

Every slave trader has hands stained with blood, and countless lives have been tragically lost in their hands. Originally, according to Xiao Lin's original values, the first action when seeing such a person is to kill him with one shot.

But now, he has developed a strong interest in Ijik. Although the black people of this era are not good soldiers, they are good at hard work and hard work.

If the company has more labor force, it can liberate more adult white and Indian men, and the size of the escort team can be increased rapidly. Ijik found the Charles family and asked James to connect him with the company. Naturally,

It wasn't as simple as showing his face. Ijik was originally very prosperous in Boston and could be said to be the leader of Boston's dark forces. However, he did not expect that this would arouse the hostility of Governor Charlie Mill.

Initially, Charlie did not have enough strength and did not dare to take action. Later, Adolf arrived with 30,000 Hessian mercenaries, which gave Charlie confidence. It may be difficult for the Hessian mercenaries who have not completed equipment upgrades to deal with the company escorts and the French army.

, but dealing with local ruffians is easy and enjoyable. If Ijik hadn't been in business for many years and had a wide network of contacts, and Charlie wasn't the local emperor who said everything in the colony, I might have died.

Even if he survived, Ijik's current situation is not very good. Charlie has taken a large share of the slave trade, and his connections can't stop it at all. He now has nearly two thousand slaves in his hands, and he can't sell them.

If they go out, there will be no place to work. Ijik is reluctant to starve them to death. Even if he has a huge fortune, he can't help but consume it. And if the slaves cannot be sold, the partners who provide the slaves may not be able to work with them again.

He cooperated.

Yijik is also a local snake. Somehow, he found out about the relationship between the Charles family and the Yanhuang Trading Company that was hidden. From the Yanhuang Trading Company, he attacked several times, but not a single civilian was killed. They all were brought back to the company and became company employees.

It seems that the Yanhuang Trading Company is very short of manpower. It is very likely that it is a big customer, and the products of the Yanhuang Trading Company are now very popular in the colonies.

Sell ​​the slaves to the company, then buy some of the company's goods and sell them back to the colony. The price difference will be enough to support him and all his subordinates. Both of them are interested, so the business will naturally be easy to negotiate. Xiao Lin thought,

The price of this slave was probably very high. Unexpectedly, Yijik directly quoted the price of six hundred Yanhuang coins for an adult man, while other young, old, women and children were sold at half price. Xiao Lin remained calm and lowered the price to one hundred yuan.

It seems that Ijik is very aware of the company's situation. He wants Yanhuang coins instead of British pounds because it is much more cost-effective to buy the company's products with Yanhuang coins than using British pounds. In fact, it would be better if Ijik wants British pounds. Xiao Lin has it anyway.

Technology, if you continue to print counterfeit money, it will also have a negative impact on the British colonial economy. However, if you can sell more of the company's products and expand the company's influence, Xiao Lin will not refuse.

James was also on time and could accept Ijik's transaction. This was a win-win situation, and Xiaolin's profit was even greater. Ijik confirmed the trade contract and went back to prepare that afternoon without stopping at all. Slave

It is better to use the channels of the Charles family to transport them to the Trader Tribe for trading. After obtaining the Yanhuang coins, they will purchase the company's products themselves. And James, of course, stayed behind and prepared to talk to Xiao Lin about the new weapons.

Procurement matters.

Xiao Lin prepared some good things for them. The first mature Colt revolver that he gave to them as a gift, one of which requires Yanhuang coins. A rifle, Xiao Lin has no intention of letting the Yanhuang type go away. Xiao Lin

The rifles prepared for them are Hall m1819

Breech-loading rifle. Many domestic materials mention that the Dresser m1841 is the world's first mass-equipped military breech-loading rifle, but in fact the Hall m1819 is. However, the m1819 still uses a flintlock firing method, while the m1841

Use more advanced needle hair.

The Hall M1819 breech-loading rifle was designed by Captain John H. Hall. It was patented on May 21, 1811, and officially entered service in the U.S. Army in 1819. The caliber of the early Hall breech-loading rifle was 0.52 inches (13.2mm).

, barrel length 572mm, 16 riflings. The gold on the gun

The accessories are basically the same as the m1812 musket. Except for the surface-hardened bolt, all metal parts are coated with a layer of brown paint. According to soldiers who used the gun at the time, the biggest flaw of the gun is the bolt and barrel.

The gap between them will cause excessive gunpowder gas to leak out, and there is a safety hazard of gunpowder leaking into the bolt mechanism.
