"Be good! Be obedient!"

"Dodo doo doo doo doo...Okay, it's calmed down. When the horse gets mad, you can't act recklessly, otherwise it will be counterproductive. You have to hold the reins tightly and whisper 'do doo doo' repeatedly,

In this way, it will be restored to its original state very quickly.”

"Yes! I know!"

There are no native donkeys in Japan, so naturally there are no mules that are hybrids of horses and donkeys.

Therefore, in addition to cattle, the most mainstream animal power in ancient Japan was the native pony.

Although Japan's native horses are all short, no matter how short they are, they are still horses, possessing strength and speed that humans cannot match.

Looking around, countless horses were led out of the stables and galloped in the wilderness... This scene was so spectacular.

…

"An Yi intends to establish a firearms force. This is a very correct idea! In today's world, swords and swords have become outdated! Jiaqing, you are responsible for contacting Mr. Smith in the United States and tell him: I intend to deepen our relationship with him.

Correspondence. Now deliver the inventory in the arsenal to Qinjin Fan!"

Another warehouse was opened.

Compared with the granary, the security level of the arsenal is undoubtedly much higher.

"Be careful! These are gunpowder!"

"Well...it's so heavy! Hey! Come with a few more people! We can't move such a heavy thing!"

"What is this? Why is it so heavy? Could it be a cannon?"

"Shh! Don't ask any more questions!"

The strong men carefully moved the large wooden boxes out of the warehouse.

At this time, suddenly, someone accidentally stepped on the air with his left foot and fell down.

The moment of imbalance prevented the others from reacting. The large wooden box they were carrying fell to the ground, the wooden lid flew out, and the contents inside rolled out.

The first thing that catches the eye is the dry straw.

But if you look closely, you can find shiny, brand-new rifles among these straw piles!

These guns are all advanced rifles that are currently making a splash in the American Civil War - the Springfield M1861 rifle!

The gun is a muzzle-loading rifled striker.

It is characterized by the use of minie bullets and flash caps.

Previously, all mainstream rifles in European countries were smoothbore guns, which had poor shooting accuracy and caused bullets to fly randomly from dozens of meters away.

The M1861 rifle can adopt a rifled structure after using Minie bullets. The accuracy of the bullets after firing is higher, especially the range is greatly improved.

The diameter of the cone-shaped bullet of the minie bullet is slightly smaller than the diameter of the gun bore, which makes loading of the muzzle-loading gun very convenient.

When using this kind of bullet, you need to bite open the paper package of the minie bullet and load the gunpowder and warhead respectively.

Loading a muzzle-loading gun is relatively troublesome, but it is much faster than the old-fashioned muzzle-loading gun.

In addition, the M1861 rifle uses a flash cap to fire, which is an upgrade compared to the flintlock rifle.

The failure rate of flintlock guns is relatively high, and even the best guns have a failure rate of one in ten.

For the M1861 rifle, the scale range is 500 meters, the relatively accurate range is directly increased to 200 meters, and it can fire 3 rounds per minute.

The old musket has a maximum range of about 200 meters, but soldiers can rarely accurately hit any target beyond 80 meters.

"Idiot! What do you do for food? Why can't you even move a box?!"

"No, I'm very sorry!"

They hurriedly cleaned up, stuffed the fallen rifles back into the boxes, and then hurriedly carried them away.

Europe and the United States in the 19th century were in a state of "full of vitality and all things competing", and the monster called "capitalism" was growing wildly.

To put it simply, their market is in a wild state of "order within chaos, chaos within order; both chaotic and organized".

As long as you have that kind of money, you can buy almost anything you want in the market.

Therefore, if there is such a way, it is not difficult to buy guns.

Not only can you buy it, but if your purchase volume is large enough, the store opposite may offer express delivery and free shipping.

In order to fight against the law-killing party, Huluwu will naturally not let go of firearms, a major killer weapon.

Under Kinoshita Lin's instructions, Calabash House's purchasing ideas are very clear. They do not engage in "IWC brands".

Whether it's muskets or cannons, they all focus on one product.

For muskets, I only buy M1861 rifles.

As for artillery, we only purchased the very advanced field artillery nowadays: the 10-pounder Parrott rifled gun.

This gun also showed great power in the current Civil War. Both the North and the South equipped this gun on a large scale, with the number exceeding 700.

This artillery has a caliber of 76 mm and a shell weight of 4.5 kg. It is no longer a round shell.

The biggest feature of the Parrott rifled gun is that it uses a rifled bore instead of a smooth bore.

After the cannonball is fired, the warhead expands under the action of gunpowder gas and embeds into the rifling to rotate the cannonball, greatly improving the accuracy and extending the range.

The theoretical maximum range of the Parrott rifled gun is over 4,000 meters, and the actual combat range is also about 2,000 meters.

The inventory of Calabash House is not very large.

They can currently provide only 200 M1861 rifles to Qinjin Fan immediately.

As for Parrott rifled guns, there were only 5 of them.

Although the number was small, it finally allowed Qingdeng to get rid of the dilemma of "having no firearms"!

…

…

Kinoshita Rin methodically gave precise instructions.

Boss Kiryu and others listened carefully.

Those given a specific assignment - such as the Supreme Being who was asked to contact Mr. Smith in the United States - would stand up and say "yes."

After finishing speaking, she slowly turned her head and looked at Qingdeng beside her.

"An Yi."

The sudden roll call made Qingdeng straighten his back subconsciously and follow the call.

"I am an old woman who is extremely benevolent and has done everything I can. From now on... it all depends on your performance."

"I will not tell you what to do, let alone interfere in Qinjin Fan's internal affairs."

"Even with my full support, if you still fail to make some immediate achievements, I will be angry."

"In short, let's give Qinjin Fan a new look as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Kinoshita Lin paused.

Suddenly, she curved the corners of her mouth and put on a semi-joking tone:

"I'm looking forward to it... looking forward to Qinjin Fan becoming a powerful country that is not afraid of any force!"

After hearing this, Qingdeng smiled slightly, and then said impassionedly:

"Grandma, please look forward to it. What I am best at is exceeding other people's expectations!"

…

…

On the outskirts of Kyoto, Iwakura Village, the retreat of Iwakura Tomomi——

Iwakura Tomoshi: "..."

Katsura Kogoro: "..."

The two sat facing each other.

Big eyes stared at small eyes, their eyes met, and no one spoke.

Iwakura sat with his body crooked, holding a pipe in his mouth, puffing away smoke.

For a moment, he suddenly grinned, as if he was talking to Katsura Kogoro in front of him, or talking to himself, and he said quietly:

"I seem to be too arrogant..."

"Although I hate to admit it, I really underestimate Tachibana Aoden..."

"This guy... is such a monster!"

When he said this, he suddenly pulled down his face, and his expression became extremely solemn and terrifying.

"How on earth did he do it...?!"

"Why can he persuade the big businessmen in Osaka to fund him...?!"
