Eschwein did not know that he had become a "Kaizi" in the eyes of several black chiefs, but even if he knew it, he would sneer. Why? As a middle-level manager of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, he knew that there was absolutely no shortage of salt in the Beihai Chamber of Commerce.

In short, do n’t look at the fact that the price of salt is not low in Europe, but he has seen ships from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and shipped them back by boat from the Americas.

Although he did not know the secrets of the North Sea country ’s salt cooking, he could also guess that the North Sea country may have discovered a large salt mine on the barren mainland, producing a large amount of unbitter refined salt. Therefore, the few packets of salt given to the local chiefs are really not worth mentioning.

Moreover, once the colonists of the Senegalese fur company landed on the land and hunted enough rhinos and obtained rhinoceros, they would immediately return to their capital.

Although it is said that the most valuable rhino horns and ivory should be dealt with by the Duke of Coimbra, but the rhinoceros is enough to pay back. Because, it is said that rhinoceros can be made into high-quality leather armor for the army.

Although the supplied rhinoceros is supplied internally to his army, there is no profit, but Eschwein cares, not those profits. Because, Marin once personally told him that as long as this matter is done well, there will be many good things about being promoted to the fortune in the future.

Who is Marin? Grand Duke of Beihai! He personally promised to be promoted to make a fortune, can there be a difference? According to the meaning revealed by Kohler, who is the second head of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, if this thing is done beautifully, it may be possible to mix up the noble title of knight or jazz!

Although it is the lowest noble title that cannot be hereditary, it is enough to make Eschwein, a serf, so excited that he can't help himself. How many years did he break away from serfdom? If you can mix a noble title, do n’t be too magical.

The only requirement that Marin gave him was "fast", the cost can be higher, but the speed must be fast. After all, Marin is anxious to use troops for Siena and needs a lot of rhinoceros leather armor.

It was precisely following Marin ’s “quick” requirement that Eschwein did not grumble with the other party in the negotiations, and directly threw out the salt that the other party was most interested in. Then, really bought those buns.

Then Eschwein began to prepare to land and hunt rhinos.

The 100 musketeers brought from the locals are already in place. They are a group of men who are selected and not afraid of heat. Their task was to use the Muskete musket on the grasslands of West Africa to shoot steel ball bullets and hunt rhinos.

Steel ball bullets are different from lead bullets, which are heavier and have more kinetic energy. But because the lead is too soft, the hardness is too poor, it is difficult to break the defense of the rhinoceros thick skin. Therefore, lead bullets can only injure rhinos, not kill them. But the injured rhinoceros is terrible, it will go crazy, and its combat power will break the table. Therefore, hunting rhinos with lead bullets not only kills the rhinos but also kills them. To this end, Marin had to make a batch of steel ball bombs, specifically for hunting rhinos. Although the rhinoceros is thick, it can be hated in front of steel **** weighing more than 30 grams. In particular, Marin specifically requested that the head of the rhinoceros be hit specifically. As long as the headshot is over, the rhinoceros will be strong, and without the command of the brain, it will be finished immediately.

Moreover, rhinoceros and lions, tigers, leopards and other ferocious beasts are different. When seeing hunters, lions, tigers, and leopards either run away or take the initiative to attack. Once running, the matchlock is difficult to target.

Rhino is probably arrogant because there are no natural enemies. Under normal circumstances, rhinos are ignorant of the approaching animals. Because, in their consciousness, no animal can threaten them.

Therefore, for the arrogant rhinoceros, the hunters can calmly approach, and then aim at the big head of the rhinoceros calmly within a very high distance of the quasi-head within 30 meters ...

Of course, don't get too close. Otherwise, it is easy to anger the rhinoceros. Especially during the mating season, if you encounter a male rhinoceros with a spring, it is very vulnerable.

However, although the matchlock gun is inaccurate from a distance, it can be within 45.7 meters of 50 yards, and the accuracy is okay. In particular, the 100 Musketeers sent by Marin have very good marksmanship.

Rhinoceros is different from timid herbivores such as fawns and antelopes. Because of their strength, they generally don't run away when they see people from afar. Only when humans are too close and there are a large number of people will they run away. At a distance of thirty to forty meters, the rhino is too lazy to run.

What's more, rhinos have poor eyesight, mainly relying on smell. At a distance of thirty meters, as long as it is not in the upper air, rhinos generally cannot smell or see clearly. Therefore, the hunter only needs to find the downwind, at a distance of 30 meters, he can completely aim and kill the rhinoceros.

Of course, be prepared for failure. Because, if you aim at the head and hit, there is a chance of failure. For example, when a rhinoceros just looks up or down, it will avoid the killing bullet.

Under such circumstances, the rhinoceros is likely to be irritated and chase down with the sound and smell. Therefore, this time the shooter needs to escape.

However, the black rhinoceros in West Africa runs very fast, reaching a limit speed of 45 kilometers per hour. Under the human rhythm alone, under the chase of the black rhinoceros, it will surely die.

Therefore, Malinte allowed the Senegal fur company to use horses to escape. Because the horses run up to a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Although not lasting, it is enough to escape. After all, a musketeer with superb shooting skills is difficult to train, and it is best not to die easily.

...

However, the climate in West Africa is hot and dry, and European horses are obviously not well adapted to the local climate. For Arabian horses, Marin himself is not enough. Because, basically every Arabian horse has been bred by Malin, and it is very kidney-deficit.

After thinking over and over again, Marin suddenly remembered that the Burb horse, which appeared to be produced in Morocco, was also an excellent horse breed.

Berberma is said to have been brought to North Africa by the Arabs and has the origin of Arabian horses. However, its appearance is not like an Arabian horse. The only thing similar to the Arabian horse is that it has the same endurance, fast speed and quick response. Moreover, Berber horses can bear hardships and bear hardships, are more resistant to rough feeding, and are much better at serving than the delicate European horses. After all, Moroccans are mainly nomads. The most important thing for horses cultivated by nomadic people is to be resistant to rough feeding. Therefore, all good horses cultivated by nomads must be resistant to rough feeding. Otherwise, nomads cannot afford it.

This kind of horse from North Africa is obviously able to adapt to the dry and hot climate in Senegal. Moreover, the transportation of Berberma from Morocco to Senegal is also very close, and the transportation is very convenient.

Therefore, while sending a boat to Gore Island, Marin sent people to the Ayune colony at the same time and ordered the local person in charge to buy a batch of Berber horses from the nearby Saad tribe for hunting rhinos. Musketeer escaped.

Berber horses are quick to respond, fast, and have good endurance. They are good mounts to escape the black rhinoceros of West Africa. As long as there are Berber horses, the musketeers are not afraid that they will be chased and killed by angry rhinos if the shooting fails. After all, a rhinoceros can't run beyond Bobby Horse.

After reaching an agreement with the tribes such as Dakar, Eschwein began to build a landing pier near the Dakar Ministry. And 100 musketeers also began to adapt to the local climate. Along with 100 musketeers landed, there were more than a dozen craftsmen who were good at handling leather. They will also ride the Pueblo horse to facilitate escape. If the hunt is successful, they will step forward to deal with the rhinoceros, use a short knife to cut off the rhinoceros, and deal with the rhinoceros. After processing, it will be sent to Gore Island, concentrated back to the mainland, and handed over to a craftsman specializing in leather armor to make rhinoceros leather armor for the army ...

Of course, it takes a while for Ayoun to buy Berber horses. Therefore, they need to wait until more than one hundred cypress horses arrive before they can go out to hunt rhinos. Before the arrival of Berber Ma, they took this opportunity to learn some daily communication terms of local indigenous people with two translators to facilitate communication with local black indigenous people and avoid misunderstanding and friction ...
