Chapter 26 Arms Business

Feng Yuxiang looked at Shi Congyun and spoke to Yang Yuanzhao and dudu, and said unhappily: "Okay, Congyun, this is just my duty, don't say more?"

When Feng Yuxiang said this, his expression on his face was tight and wrinkled. Obviously, this time, Zhengzhou urged for wages was not an easy task. He asked in his heart: "I wonder if I can do my best? You know, I came back from studying in the UK and have little wealth. Can I make a match? "

"This!" Feng Yuxiang was about to refuse, but he didn't expect that Wang Jinming, who had never spoken next to him, said in a flash: "If we want a batch of arms, is there any trick?"

"Yes!" Yang Yuanzhao immediately stood up, and in an instant, he made a decision in his heart, and said, "Please come with me!"

After saying that, Yang Yuanzhao stood up and left. Uncle Guang hesitated for a moment, did not follow him, and also stopped the bodyguard who was about to follow him. Looking at Yang Yuanzhao's back, his face looked slightly strange.

Yang Yuanzhao brought his group to the private room. As early as the road, he had already ordered Dingdang to wrap 10 rifles in boxes. The boxes were the jujube wood left after the last time they made the gun handle. The spear cannot be the same as the short gun, and there is no packaging.

After entering the private room, I closed the door, searched under the bed, and then pulled out a plain box. There was no trademark or sign outside. But when I opened it, I saw 10 brand new committees 1888, neatly coded in the box.

"Original German Mauser?" Feng Yuxiang was slightly surprised. The Mauser rifle can be said to be the most equipped Beiyang, but it was their turn to replace it with the Xiaqiang Town. Most of them were imitated by Shanghai and Tianjin. Such weapons are not too high in quality, so it would be good to fire. This is also the biggest gap between their backward bids and the strong bids in front. Not to mention the soldiers, the equipment is much worse.

Wang Jinming walked up, picked up a handful, used and disassembled it skillfully. There was a strong smell of gun oil on the muzzle, and the rifle was well-trained, and the gun chamber was hit, the steel and weight were no different from the Mauser rifle. There was a hint of doubt on his face. The batch in front of him, except for the wood with the gun handle, was slightly different from the traditional Mauser, and the others seemed to be no different. They looked like they were original.

After Wang Jinming finished reading the gun in his hand, he handed it to Feng Yuxiang. After Feng Yuxiang took it, he also checked according to Wang Jinming's routine. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and praised: "Good gun!"

Feng Yuxiang picked it up, and Shi Congyun also picked up the gun. As a veteran of the army, he knew the quality of the gun at will, and nodded and said, "Good gun!"

"How much does this gun cost?" Wang Jinming asked.

In the late Qing Dynasty, only original guns were rarely made under 60 yuan, and German-based ones were even more expensive. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai would not have spent millions of vehicles to build seven towns, which were divided into the strongest and weakest, and the strongest third town, which was stronger than the weakest seventh town. I don’t know how much stronger it is. The key is weapons and personnel. A good gun is extremely efficient on the battlefield, which almost means one more life.

Yang Yuanzhao also knew, but the offer price was a science. He thought for a long time before saying, "If the three of you want it, I can give you a cost price of 35 yuan, 100 bullets, and if others, 50 yuan!"

Wang Jinming was good at calculating and knew deeply that such a price could definitely be calculated. Where can I find a German Mauser of 35 yuan? Even if it is 100 bullets, it costs seven or eight yuan. Even if it is 50 yuan, it is cheap enough. He asked: "I wonder how many such guns are there?"

“That’s all?”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Feng Yuxiang's faces. He thought it was a big business, with 10 guns, and the usual landlord Lao Cai guarded the house and guarded the house. Maybe it was OK, but for an army, it was almost a drop in the bucket. Yang Yuanzhao then said: "I have the means to have these guns, but I have to go to Shanghai to trade!"

"Shanghai?" The three of them returned their winks, and finally Wang Jinming asked: "No problem, we go to Zhengzhou, at most, it is 2 days. After 2 days, we can go to Shanghai!"

"Okay, when I go back later, I will ask Uncle Guang to tell you the location of the Yang Family Store in Shanghai. Wherever you go, you will be able to find us!"

"Okay, it's a matter of determination!"

A simple exchange reached a preliminary intention. Yang Yuanzhao also gave these 10 guns to Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang's face changed and he said, "No, it's a few hundred yuan!"

"It's just a few hundred yuan, why should Brother Xianzhang refuse? Next, maybe we will discuss a big business, and this will be used as a sample. You can also test it for me to see if these guns are good!" Yang Yuanzhao said magnanimously.

Feng Yuxiang was not able to refuse Yang Yuanzhao said this. Compared with short spears, the long spears were more in line with their wishes. By the way, use them to see if they really have a good effect.

It took more than half an hour for Yang Yuanzhao and the others to go. When they came back, Feng Yuxiang and others brought a box of things, which looked like guns. Where did Yang Yuanzhao come from? It seemed that there were no guns in the investigation. This mysterious Young Master Yang seemed to have many secrets.

Uncle Guang suppressed his questions and waited for an investigation later.

As soon as he sat down, Shi Congyun laughed and said, "It seems that he has finally driven!"

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the train began to move slowly. Compared with the previous one, the speed was much slower. It was about 2 kilometers forward. It was obvious that the workers holding tools and working on the roadside were busy. The railway subgrade collapsed and barely connected. The train could pass slowly, and the reinforcement of the subgrade was still in progress.

After passing this section, the speed of the car increased significantly. Starting from Shijiazhuang, it drove slowly on the roads in Hebei, and the speed gradually accelerated. The cities in the late Qing Dynasty were very small, and the train stations were usually on the edge of the city. After leaving the city, it was wild. The old rural areas of China were even more dilapidated than that era.
