Chapter 98 The back road is copied
For more than ten days in a row, the sea wolf did not go to sea to plunder again. Yu Xiaotian temporarily devoted all his energy to the training of the newcomers and the operation of Treasure Island.
The warehouse and new houses have been built one by one, and various living facilities have also begun to be gradually improved. For the sake of the hygiene on the island, Yu Xiaotian instructed Li Gouzi to build public toilets in their residence and affiliated islands. The main island also has also repaired special toilets for women and regularly use them from The raw lime obtained by the Li family was sprinkled to kill maggots.
In addition, he built a bath room near the spring and built a bath room with the branches of stones and shrubs on the island, strictly ordering the people on the island to bathe regularly and keep their bodies clean, saving them from parasitic diseases such as fleas.
In addition, he also commanded people to dig drainage ditches in the island's residential area, directly discharge domestic sewage into the sea, and do not allow domestic sewage to accumulate in the living area.
In addition, considering the problem of guarding, Yu Xiaotian also planned to build a wall camp around the island's residential area, as well as arrow towers, lighthouses and other guard facilities. However, such a plan is still difficult to implement for the time being. They have limited materials. Although there are endless stones on the island, there are still not enough manpower. Yu, wood and lime bonded stone need to be purchased from land, and they will not be able to complete such a project in a few months.
As for personnel, after the newcomer ended the first phase of the island's obedience awareness training and quarantine period, he began to bring the selected newcomers to the ship, so that according to the division of labor, he followed Hu Cheng and Meng madman on the ship respectively, familiar with the operation of the ship and the way of fighting on the ship.
Most of these people are not from coastal fishermen and are not very familiar with the operation of ships and life at sea. Some people even get seasick and take them out to hijack the boat without adaptive training, which simply makes these people die.
Yu Xiaotian made it clear that since he brought these people here, he would not regard them as consumables and drive them to take risks regardless of their life and death.
For Yu Xiaotian's statement, the newlyweds also felt that it was acceptable. People did not think that they had a long life. Yu Xiaotian valued them so much, which made them feel treated as adults. Therefore, after getting on the ship, they were also more obedient and did not cause much trouble.
Many people, like Li Dazui, have gradually accepted such a fate and begin to feel that such a life is a little better than their previous hungry wanderings. The only thing that makes them a little uncomfortable is that there are too many rules here.
This rudder seems to be born crazy. Whether it is eating, drinking or sleeping, everything has rules. Everything must be followed. If you are not careful, you may be punished. It's okay to go to the toilet to show respect, but even the shoes they wear are placed in the designated position when they sleep every two days. They have to be forced to take a bath with cold water, which is also closed, which makes them a little confused.
But it's not okay if you don't follow it. After several lessons, these newcomers can gradually adapt to the various rules here and begin to get used to everything according to the rules.
Seeing that the day was approaching the end of September, Yu Xiaotian finally took the boat to sea again and began a new round of safari. They continued to choose the target area on the sea in the southern part of Haitan Island, because it was out of the direct control of Fuzhou officers and sailors, and And it is still a must for merchant ships in the north and south. There are more ships passing by, and there is a greater chance of finding a target.
So according to Liu Laoliu and the Li family, many pirates around have selected the target area in this area, which is a hunting ground for pirates all year round. Of course, if you go further south and go to the west side of Nanri Island, the harvest may be better, but at present, it is the power area of sharks and tigers, like sea wolves. At present, small pirate groups do not have the ability to fight against Zhang Hu, so they can only choose this narrow sea, which is slightly farther away from Nanri Island, as their hunting site.
After leaving Treasure Island, these novices who went to sea for the first time began to look nervous and a little excited, which made the old people of Little Yellow Island, who had worked twice despise their performance, but many people forgot that the first time they came out, they might be worse than these guys. Anyway, now they have self-respected as veterans and have begun to become arrogant.
But for Xiaotian, his confidence in coming out this time is also much more full. After all, he brought more than 30 people to come out this time. Even if half of them are some newcomers, his strength has increased a lot.
At present, the number of soldiers on his ship, that is, the number of soldiers, has reached nearly 20, and finally their responsibilities can be further refined. Full-time gunners, archers and torches have been designated, so that the division of labor among his people can be refined and more professional.
And once he starts, he can command more than twice as many people to rush to the front. They have an absolute overwhelming advantage in dealing with ordinary merchant ships, and the probability of successfully hijacking ships has also increased by multiple.
Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian came out this time, he was full of confidence and took the boat straight to the hunting area and began a three-day cruise.
In the first two days, they didn't seem to be very lucky. They didn't meet a boat that was worth starting or suitable, but only met an empty ship from Fuzhou to Quanzhou.
After catching up, the other party directly announced their surrender without any resistance, so they boarded the ship and searched. As a result, in addition to finding a few knives and guns and dozens of taels of silver, they were empty-handed and had to let go of the merchant ship and let them continue south.
Such a result made the people on the ship very frustrated and had no choice but to continue to swim on the sea to find the next target.
But on the third day, their luck came. They found two ships on the sea at the same time, one of which seemed to be in a heavy load, so Yu Xiaotian immediately chose the heavy ship to start.
After a chase, they finally caught the ship, but they didn't expect to board the ship and control the ship, but they were disappointed. It turned out that the ship was not a long way, but a ship from Chaozhou Prefecture to Fuzhou Prefecture to transport wood.
There is no silver on the ship, only a little grain and a small amount of scattered goods brought on the ship, which are not worth much, and even the owner did not escort the ship. Such a result made everyone disappointed. They knew that they had chosen the wrong target this time, but heard from the boatman on the ship that another ship they let go of. There were a lot of spices, pearl agate and silver on it, but they looked away and chose this boat loaded with wood. The angry Meng madman just wanted to kill people and vent his anger.
Yu Xiaotian was also very disappointed. Looking at the wood of the ship, he could only admit that he was unlucky and knew that they were still inexperienced. Otherwise, he would not only look at the weight of the ship, but ignored the goods that may be loaded on the ship. Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to let them go. But after thinking about it, I changed my mind.
So Yu Xiaotian ordered to tie up the boatmen on the ship, throw them directly into the cabin, shut them up, let some people come from the ship, and replace them. The two ships took the ship full of wood together and sailed towards the shore. After dark, they found a casual place and threw the boatmen behind. On the shore, he got on the two boats and began to return home to Treasure Island.
Although this ship's wood is not worth much, it is also a much-needed material for them. The next step is to operate on Treasure Island for a long time, and they can't do anything without wood.
And most of the wood on this ship is teak, which is an excellent wood for shipbuilding. It does not warp or crack when it changes greatly in the sun, rain and wet. It is water-resistant and fire-resistant. It can resist termites and sea insects in different sea areas, and is extremely resistant to corrosion. Originally, it was produced in Southeast Asia, but Fujian and Guangdong do not have this thing. After passing the boatman on the ship, he knew that these grapefruits were purchased by their owner from a sea merchant in Chaozhou Prefecture and were to be transported to a boathouse around Fuzhou for shipbuilding.
The rest of the wood is also mostly mahogany, mostly produced in Southeast Asia. It is either used for shipbuilding or for making precious furniture. After careful calculation, the value is not small, and this ship is also favored by Yu Xiaotian. Although this ship is not a lucky boat or a wide ship, it is A flat boat similar to a sand boat, although not suitable for sailing in the far sea, it is very suitable for transporting large materials in offshore or relatively large rivers. Because of the shallow water, it is not easy to strand. Although the speed is relatively slow and not suitable for use as a pirate ship, it is more suitable for transporting bulk goods.
And this ship is relatively old, which is a relatively new ship and can take a long time. Therefore, Yu Xiaotian decided to eat the ship and the wood of this ship.
Wood is used to repair their boat in the future, and they can't use it to exchange money for the Li family. In addition, they can keep the boat. In the future, they will run the line of Dalian Island on Treasure Island for shipment and use. This is not eye-catching and easier to hide their identity.
So Yu Xiaotian simply ate the goods from the boat. In this way, they came out this trip and gained a lot, and they didn't take much effort to practice courage, so the results this time were also good.
But just as they were about to drive back to Treasure Island, they saw a thick smoke in the direction of Treasure Island from afar, and the bucket in charge of watching on the mast suddenly exclaimed, "No! Our island is on fire!"
Yu Xiaotian and everyone suddenly tightened their hearts and rushed to the bow of the ship...
(Shameless continue to roar: Where are the red tickets? Hey)
