Chapter 51 The armor worn by Zhu Baba

‘Dear Minister, I am your friend C. I have a batch of gold that needs to be sold recently, and I am specifically asking for your help.

Please see the attachment for related gold pictures and weight. Please do it as soon as possible. In addition, there will be a generous reward that will arrive in your designated account after the procedures are completed.’

“Perfect! But there are still a few foreign leather bag companies that need to order goods from China. It seems that we have to go to Singapore.

You also need to contact someone to buy machines for granular black powder, as well as small power stations. If the management of Victoria Harbor is looser, why should I travel so far?"

After Chen Ye finished sending the text message, he scratched his head and muttered to himself.

Although they are both free ports, Singapore and Victoria Bay have different levels of danger.

In Singapore, all kinds of arms can be transferred as long as they are not loaded with live ammunition, but in Victoria, if there is any abnormality, the national security will know about it.

After posting the flintlock design solicitation post to domestic and foreign websites, Chen Ye opened the gift package given to him by Chongzhen, a total of eight packages.

"What could it be?"

Inside the first box was a piece of armor made of leather and sewn iron sheets. The hand-made armor looked shabby and had traces of swords.

Chen Ye held it and looked at it for a long time. He didn't know who it belonged to, but seeing the traces of time on it, he had a slight guess.

Opening the second wooden box, there was an iron sword inside. The hilt and blade were about eighty centimeters, and the scabbard was also made of leather.

The third box is larger and contains many snacks and miscellaneous candies from the capital.

The fourth one is a box at least one meter long and wide, which is about the size of Chen Ye's office. It is placed directly on the ground.

It contains all kinds of newly made porcelain. After all, porcelain was also very valuable in ancient times.

The fifth to eighth are all specialties that Chongzhen selected from the palace, or sent Wang Chengen to buy with the money earned from opening a shop.

There are porcelain, antiques, and Hanfu made of silk.

It can be seen that the things are very miscellaneous. For Chongzhen who is in urgent need of money, Chen Ye is also very touched that he can plunder all the good things in the palace and send a message to Chongzhen.

"Chen Ye: Have you emptied the palace? You are so poor that you still give gifts."

"Chongzhen: What you want is what you want. The shopkeeper is both a teacher and a friend to me. No amount of gifts is too much. If the shopkeeper hadn't been unable to escape, I would have wanted him to be the first assistant and I would be free and easy in the harem."

Chongzhen and Li Ruolian were giving instructions to the Jin Yiwei when they saw Chen Ye's news and hurriedly replied.

He also sincerely respects Chen Ye, although he has already guessed that Chen Ye may not be a god, but his descendant hundreds of years later.

But Chen Ye's ability is real, and his help does not involve his status in the Ming Dynasty. That's why he regards Chen Ye as a confidant and has unconditional trust.

"Chen Ye: I know everything else, but I'm not sure about your sword and your armor?"

"Chongzhen: The shop owner must have guessed, right? The armor was forged by Taizu during his uprising, and the sword was also used by Taizu after his uprising."

"Chen Ye: Damn it, shouldn't you keep such a precious thing for yourself?"

Chen Ye's hands holding the armor tightened. This was the armor worn by Zhu Baba himself, and it symbolized the Chinese nation's wars in the north and south.

"Chongzhen: There were several pieces of armor worn by Taizu back then. I already have the dragon-patterned armor that Taizu wore when he conquered the world.

I just hope that the shop owner can help me wholeheartedly. One day, I hope that I can wear the armor with the shop owner and go into battle to kill the enemy and create peace for all eternity for my sons of the Han family!"

Chongzhen's words made Chen Ye feel his blood burning. The leather armor in his hand also became heavier.

What he wants to help now is not just an emperor, but also the rebirth of a nation. He is no longer a businessman, but a partner in reviving a nation.

By noon of the next day, Chen Ye had arrived in Singapore and received several emails soliciting manuscripts for flintlock rifles, all of which were received from Europe.

Due to historical and cultural reasons, the level of exposure to flintlock guns in China is not as good as in Europe. Therefore, even though there are more Internet users in China during the day, there are still few who have done in-depth research on flintlock guns.

On the contrary, those people in Europe have used flintlock guns for hunting for their ancestors. They have experienced a long history of flintlock gun development and have dozens of different flintlock gun designs.

Chen Ye chose a European breech-loading rifled flintlock gun as his design requirement based on his needs.

The development history of the breech-loading rifled flintlock gun is relatively short, and its practicality is not high. The main reason is that the rifled gun of the flintlock gun needs to be completely closed to allow the chamber pressure to meet the requirements.

In the Middle Ages and early modern times, there was no such industrial system, so it was not cost-effective to make it by hand.

When this industrial system was established and a kit that allowed the breech to be closed could be produced, metal-cased primer bullets appeared, and there was no need to consider the closure of the breech flintlock gun.

But Chen Ye doesn't have such troubles. With the world's largest industrial processing country at his back, he only needs to place an order, and firearm parts and breech sleeves with exactly the same accuracy will come off the assembly line.

Not only can the chamber pressure meet the requirements, but it is also easy to replace and maintain. It is hundreds of times better than the guns of the Ming Dynasty or even Europe.

After sending all the design drawings to Su Qing, Chen Ye contacted Minister Haima whom he met in Singapore.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, you haven't contacted me for a long time, but I heard from my friend that you asked him to entrust you with a batch of gold.

But why are you asking me to sell some wood? If I knew you wanted to sell gold, I would have taken it from you."

"Minister Kaiba, it's not that I didn't miss you. In fact, someone ordered this batch of gold, so I went to Wakanda. However, I have had some great deals recently."

Chen Ye gave a random reason. As for the reason for not looking for Haima, it was not because the price initially negotiated by this guy was too expensive.

After contacting him, I found out that he was a bold guy. At first he kept saying he didn't want contraband, but within two weeks, he actually sent an email to Chen Ye, asking Chen Ye if he needed guns and ammunition.

You can even help him contact a certain local organization, and as long as he pays a certain amount of gold, he can obtain enough standard US military equipment.

But thinking about it, how can someone who can fake customs clearance procedures be clean?

"Then I want to hear it. What do you think? Have you decided to buy arms?"

"It's like this. I need you to help me purchase some rifled gun barrels. About tens of thousands of them. I also need some processing machinery for granular black powder."

"With tens of thousands of rifled barrels, why would you buy this thing? You have to know that the money you have to buy a few barrels is enough to buy an automatic rifle, and it is too troublesome to assemble it yourself.

There are also particles of black powder. Can't you just rub it with your hands? Your request is really strange. We are in the era of smokeless gunpowder TNT."

Haima looked at Chen Ye with a puzzled look on his face. Chen Ye looked constipated. Did he tell him that his customers were ancient people and he couldn't get the finished product back?
