1717 New American Empire

Shuke and his group of fifteen people were captured in the hotel at noon the next day by the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Company and 1st Platoon of the United Company Soldiers. Of course, it was Kent who made the tip. If the person before had not behaved badly towards Jenny,

If he doesn't like it, then even if these people don't agree with his ideas and don't understand his approach, he won't do anything. However, falling in love will lower people's IQ. He cherishes Jenny so much that Kent can only report it just in case.

these people.

Xiao Lin was also very speechless. He didn't expect that such a talented person who had always resisted would completely side with the company because of a woman. Even if he still has some affection for his family in his heart, after this incident, the Adams family will probably do the same.

He was regarded as a must-kill target. But that was fine. After all, Kent was a military talent. This time, he had handed in his certificate of nomination and could be reused in the future.

The fifteen spies were of course very vigilant. When the soldiers approached, they realized something was wrong. However, their strength was still not as good as that of a battalion of elite soldiers. They were blocked before they left the hotel.

There were no weapons in his hands, just a few short-handled muskets and daggers hidden in his underwear. The short-handled muskets fired once a minute, and were suppressed by the Yanhuang Type 1 rifles in the hands of the soldiers. They could only shoot without aiming, and there were no daggers.

What's the use? It's not as long as the sabers in the hands of soldiers.

In just half an hour, they were all taken down without causing any harm to the soldiers. The spies were directly taken away with their heads covered and locked in a solitary room in the military camp. For this, the soldiers in the military camp were very happy

, because there are only ten people in the confinement room.

Five of them are taken by the spies. If they make a mistake, they will not be punished by confinement. Xiao Lin does not intend to visit them for the time being, because these people do not have much use value. As for information, James and the others will be fine, and there is no need to bother.

to torture these people.

On the day when the spy was captured, a caravan composed of Indians entered Yanhuang Town. These Indians can be regarded as Xiao Lin’s old acquaintances. They are a tribe of traders, and they have also been with James several times.

They were the transit persons for large-scale transactions. With the aggressiveness of the white people, some rudimentary forms of alliances emerged among the Indians. Although they were still not united enough, the situation was much better than the previous melee between each tribe.

These Indians united to fight against the white people, regain their own land and resources, and also wanted to grab some from the white people. However, their equipment was really poor. It had not been many years since the last war, and the white people were

Their blockade still exists. Except for those Indians who have clearly surrendered to them and can buy a limited number of backward firearms, other Indians can only use their own bows, arrows and cold weapons.

In this case, they were actually going to die. Therefore, they had to find a way to obtain sufficiently advanced weapons. After suffering so much, they no longer refused to give up bows, arrows, swords and axes, and were very eager to obtain muskets and artillery. After searching dozens of times, they found

They joined the Trader Tribe. The Trader Tribe had gained a bit of fame in the surrounding area due to its ongoing transactions with James and the others. Everyone knew that they could get white people's things, and the tribe was also equipped with muskets.

Although the traders tribe can be regarded as Indians close to the white people, they still hope that the Indians can rise on their own and drive the white people out of the American continent. Therefore, they are very friendly to the Yanhuang Trading Company, and therefore, they accepted this commission.

. However, it was impossible for James to sell them too many muskets and artillery, and they were all backward models. However, except for James, they found that they had a new choice, and that was Xiao Lin's Yanhuang

trading company.

In their view, Xiao Lin is also an Indian, so the company is a force of their compatriots. It is better to find compatriots than to find foreigners. The Yanhuang Trading Company also defeated the British army several times, seized many weapons, and guarded the guards

The soldiers’ equipment also

It is better than the white people. The trader tribe has always suspected that they have their own arms factory. They do not dare to expect Yanhuang Type 1 rifles and Chongfang Type 1 artillery, but they have the muskets and artillery captured from the British active army in the company's hands.

I plan to wrap it up directly.

Xiao Lin really didn't expect that he would have 5,000 intact muskets and 37 ordinary front-loading artillery pieces. After repairing the rest, he could assemble about a thousand more muskets and muskets.

There are about 12 artillery pieces. In Xiao Lin's imagination, these captured cannons have only two uses. One is to transport them to the 21st century and sell them as handicrafts. They are all brand-new things, and no one will believe them if they are sold as antiques;

, which is to dismantle and recycle metal raw materials.

Neither of these two uses will gain much value. If sold to other people, the profit will be very high. Before receiving the people from the trader tribe, Xiao Lin specifically asked his men to find someone to calculate the prices of these artillery guns.

Come out, Xiao Lin can just double the price as much as the British sell it internally. Chief Quaild personally led a team of thirty people, driving five carriages loaded with furs and gold ore, to the Yanhuang Trading Small House.

town.

This was also the first time they came to this legendary town, and they were relieved to see that the majority of them were Indians. As for the white people, they had not seen them before, and they were not good at interfering in the company's affairs.

They simply ignored it. Xiao Lin was counting prices and sorting out items, and asked the officials who came to greet them to hold them back. The officials directly prepared a banquet, and for the first time they ate food with 21st century cooking skills.

I began to doubt my life, as all I had eaten before was pig food.

Quaild originally wanted everyone to be more reserved and not lose face. However, even his son was devouring it, and he almost starved to death. After one meal, he ate two

hours, the total amount was twice that of the same person in the company, and the company officials were a little funny. Xiao Lin also asked people to spread the news, and took them directly to the shooting range. Xiao Lin sorted out a hundred muskets and ten three-guns.

Pound gun, just waiting for Quailder to come and inspect the goods.

When the two met, they didn't exchange much greetings. After all, they weren't particularly familiar with each other. After shaking hands and saying hello, they started talking about business.

"Chief Quailder, I also know your purpose of coming. I specially asked you to sort out a batch of samples. Do you want to try them?"

"Clan Chief Xiao Lin, you are so considerate. I brought a lot of furs and gold with me this time. Do you want to go inspect the goods first?"

"That's not necessary. If Chief Quild can trust us, he can ask one of his subordinates to take the furs and gold to our exchange to estimate the value, and then exchange them for our currency before trading. This will be more convenient."

"Okay, I'll let my brother follow you."

"Okay, let's take a look first. I wonder if you like these guns and artillery."

Xiao Lin said, took a brown bass musket and handed it to Quild. Quild had never seen this kind of musket before, and he didn't know how to use it.

"Clan Chief Xiao Lin, what kind of musket is this?"

"Oh, yes, you may not have seen it. This is the latest musket developed by the British. It was bought by the white people in the colonies not long ago and used to arm the army to attack us. It failed and was captured by us."

"These hateful white people just can't see us rising up. Fortunately, you are strong, otherwise we really don't know if there is any hope."

"I heard from Chief Quild that he also wants us to rise. How about you bring your tribe to join us?"

"Ahem, it's not urgent. We'll talk about it later. First, let's talk about how to use this musket."

Xiao Lin did not force Quailde. Without cultivating enough political talents, it would be easy to get hurt if he took too big a step. He did not mention the previous topic and began to teach Quailde how to use the brown bass musket. This kind of musket

It is not as complicated to use as the previous muskets, especially after using the powder boxes and bullet boxes distributed by the company. Just load them in order and start aiming. The effective range of the Brown Bess musket is 120 meters. In order to show the accuracy of this musket

, Xiao Lin set a target one hundred meters away.

Instead of letting the elite soldiers demonstrate, Quailde did it himself. Under Xiao Lin's instructions, he began to squat and take aim. I don't know if God was helping Xiao Lin, but Quailde fired the first shot.

He hit the target, even though it wasn't the 10th or 9th ring, he still hit the 7th ring. Quaild had used a backward musket before, and he couldn't hit any target at 100 meters. He could only shoot at a distance of about 70 meters.

When he reached the target, he became excited.

"Yes, yes, this is the kind of weapon we want. It's very good. I like it very much. How much does it cost?"

After all, the Indians don't have any education system, and they are still not treacherous enough. Doesn't this kind of performance clearly indicate that they are being slaughtered by the sellers? However, the people from the trader tribe present did not feel anything was wrong. Xiao Lin couldn't help but put on a treacherous smile,

Not in a hurry to make an offer, he pulled Quelder to the cannon.

"Let's not rush. Let's try the artillery first and see if you like it."

"Okay, let's try."

After all, this batch of artillery is also the active equipment of the British army, and Quailder and the others are not dissatisfied. On the shooting range, they tried all the weapons that the big man can shoot. Looking at their performance, Xiao Lin was convinced

Price. A brown Bess musket sells for 10 Yanhuang coins, and a three-pound cannon sells for 10 Yanhuang coins.

Selling it for 50 Yanhuang coins, doubling the caliber will double the price. As for a piece of elk skin, Xiao Lin and the others only valued it at 10 Yanhuang coins. To compare, a brown Bess musket can only be sold for 100 to 200 RMB in the 21st century.

A piece of elk skin can be sold for 3,000 yuan, which is a very high profit.

Xiao Lin was still waiting to bargain, but unexpectedly, Quailder said so directly.

"No problem, we all want it. The price is too cheap."
