Chapter 164 Make a big profit

Yu Xiaotian couldn't see the battle situation on the big ship and was a little worried about blackheads and others, but he still resisted his desire to draw a knife and rush up in person. His gang of guys are not children. He will always be alone one day. He can't be the first every time, so he must trust them, so he is big He shouted and ordered the upper bucket on the top of the mast, so that he could see the gun and support the black-headed soldiers.

The bucket on the mast is equipped with a bird's rifle. Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to give them a few more, so that they could launch them continuously after filling them. Unfortunately, he only had a few bird rifles on hand, so he could only take one.

The most important training in Shangdou is not only to practice your eyesight, but also to be able to judge the shape and enemy of ships at sea. In addition, it is also to practice * aiming and shooting.

But it is not easy to accurately hit the human-sized target on the shaking mast. If the muzzle is facing down, the projectile may slip out of the gun if it is smaller, so when placing the gun down and filling the projectile, you need to wrap the projectile in a small piece of silk to stuff it. Gun barrel.

In a word, it is not easy to put a gun on it and shoot accurately, which makes the requirements for the upper fighters a little higher.

Now the upper fight is not Liu Wang, but another young descendant, nicknamed Monkey. Because he is thin but flexible and timid, he was selected by Yu Xiaotian to fight.

This guy was on it without saying a word, holding a bird jig, and his body kept swinging back and forth with the mast. Suddenly, the bird jig immediately roared.

Yu Xiaotian didn't know whether this guy was hit or not, but after a while, there was a begging for mercy on the boat.

"Don't kill! Don't kill! Can't we drop it? Squat down, all squat down quickly! Let's drop..."

Immediately after that, he heard the cheers of the seawolves on the blessing ship, and then heard the blackhead shouting on it: "His grandma, surrender and don't kill!" Hold your head and lie down! They all hugged the back of my head and lay face down on the ground. Who dares to move? I don't recognize anyone with my knife!"

Yu Xiaotian breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that the battle on the ship was basically over, and after listening carefully, the sound of fighting above had basically subsided.

So he stopped no longer, shouted and ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder, left the lucky boat, and handed over the things above to the soldiers such as the blackheads to do. For the time being, let them control the lucky boat and go down to deal with the boat.

The driven ship was still behind the lucky boat just now, trying to help the lucky boat, but now seeing that the pirates had climbed on the lucky boat and began to jump into a white-edged battle, knowing that things were not good, so they quickly turned around and stopped following the lucky boat and tried to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

The Yellow Fish came from afar and chased the boat like a puppy. Luo Xianbin on the ship waved a single knife, shouted and cursed loudly, ordering the boat to stop the boat quickly, otherwise what would happen...

But their deterrent was so small that they were completely despised directly. The people on the ship ignored their threat and continued to turn around and flee.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaotian let the Seal turn in time and began to chase the chasing ship. Without letting him slip away, he quickly caught up with the chasing ship and began to fire at it.

The ship also tried to resist and fired a gun back. He only saw a bang on the seal. The stern part of the ship was hit, and he was immediately hit a hole. The angry Meng madman jumped to his feet and scolded.

Meng madman shouted and ordered the gunners on the ship to fight back immediately. Two shells were fired, and two holes were also knocked out on the ship, which was a direct revenge.

After Yu Xiaotian solved the blessing ship, when he turned his rudder and began to chase the ship, the ship and the seal had run a long way, and he could only accelerate the pursuit behind.

At this time, the monkey above shouted, "There is another boat in the south, and it is impossible to tell what it is!"

After Yu Xiaotian looked into the distance, he told the monkey loudly, "Keep an eye on them and leave them alone!"

After a while, the monkey shouted on it, "The boat has begun to turn around and escape. Don't worry about the helms!"

Another nearly half hour of pursuit, the chase ship was finally equaled by the Seal. The two sides first bombarded each other, and the ship was defeated, and a gun on it fell dumb.

Taking advantage of this time, the Seawolf also caught up with the front. At this time, there were no soldiers on the Sea Wolf, so he could only support the Seal on one side. Liu Tong took a gunner and operated the first and tail two cannons respectively, and the other gunner operated the small Ferro machine on the side of the ship and also launched a bombardment from the other side.

Although their cannons want to sink the ship, they are really a little overwhelmed, but they can effectively scare and deter the boatmen on the boat.

Seeing that the lucky ship had fallen and was under control, the three pirate ships surrounded them. The boat could not escape and could not be beaten. Continuing to resist was only a dead end. The stewman on the ship had to order the sail to stop the ship and surrender to the sea wolves.

So when cleaning up the boat, the sea wolves did not pay much. Meng madman quickly jumped on the boat in person, led people to tie up the boat and completely controlled the boat.

Yu Xiaotian exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, and his mood suddenly became much more comfortable. He couldn't help laughing. He said that I also had this day! Now that it has developed, I got two boats at once. Let's see who in this area dares to underestimate me in the future!

Thinking of this, he ordered the flag to be raised and ordered the blackheads on the lucky boat to start gathering towards them...

Originally, according to the idea of the Li family, they didn't even leave the people on the two ships of the Lei family, killing them to destroy their bodies, so that the Lei family themselves couldn't figure out what happened to the two ships.

But this obviously conflicted with Yu Xiaotian's behavior. Yu Xiaotian only promised the Li family to hijack the ship, but did not promise to kill all the people on the ship. He wanted money but not his life, and he had his own principles in this industry.

Manager Li was a little disappointed at that time, but he still agreed to Yu Xiaotian's condition, only to rob the ship and kill less, but he still hoped to cause as many losses to the Lei family as possible. Therefore, after Yu Xiaotian considered it, he decided that once the two Lei family's boats were captured, he would tie all the people on board as meat tickets and ask the Lei family for redemption. Kim.

So when Yu Xiaotian hijacked the two ships, he did not release all the people on the ship as usual, tied them up and threw them into the cabin, and then ordered his men to take four boats, tow the Yellow Fish to the stern of a ship, and sail back to Treasure Island.

After this trip, Yu Xiaotian did not suffer great losses, but when he won the lucky boat, he was injured three of his men by two relatively strong escorts. Two were slightly injured and one was seriously injured, but Blackhead also led someone to kill four escorts on the spot.

In addition, three people were killed by shelling and bullets on the blessing ship, and the rest, including the stewards on the two ships, were captured, and a total of 27 people were arrested.

After the interrogation on the return journey, Yu Xiaotian also got a list of goods on two ships. These goods are nothing more than some common goods, mainly porcelain, silk, tea and lacquerware, which are the mainstream export goods.

Moreover, there are three artillery on the two ships of the Lei family, which are light like bowls and mouth guns. They are old-style guns with limited power and can only resist small pirates, and their deterrence is greater than the actual combat effect.

These old-fashioned artillery are not what Yu Xiaotian wants. These guns are close in range, powerful, and have no sight and sight. Whether it is naval or land warfare, they are far behind the Western artillery.

So what he wants most now is not this thing, but a more advanced Western-style gun. Even if it is only a smaller three-pound or four-pound gun, it is at least much more powerful than these messy cannons he uses now.

Unfortunately, he has no strength to make this thing at present. This is not something that few blacksmiths can make by himself by getting an iron furnace. He must have more resources to cast his own artillery.

So he has nothing to be happy about the capture of these three small cannons. On the Lei family's ship, he captured a few more bird guns, which is still a relatively good thing, at least not far behind the times, and it is quite a sharp weapon in this era.

The news of the success of the boat hijacking was quickly sent to the Li family. At the same time, the news was passed on to the Lei family through the external route of the Li family. Yu Xiaotian proposed a ransom of 500 taels of silver to the Lei family according to the head and identity, asking the Lei family to pay money within a month, otherwise he would tear the ticket.

The Lei family lost two boats and full of goods at once. In addition, they were also asked for 500 taels of ransom. Even if they panicked, they jumped up and down to find a way to contact Yu Xiaotian through various channels, saying that they hoped to pay money to redeem people and redeem their two ships at the same time.

In the end, they did not know that the Li family was the nest owner of the sea wolf, but through a pirate named Zhang Chuan on the coast of Fuzhou, Zhang Chuan found Liu Yidao, who knew Yu Xiaotian, and found Treasure Island through Liu Yidao, and found Yu Xiaotian to try to discuss this matter.

Yu Xiaotian treated Liu Yidao's visit very politely, but he refused the conditions put forward by the Lei family. The reason was very simple. He took a fancy to the two boats and decided to replace him and would not return them to the Lei family. However, for the sake of Liu Yidao's visit, the redemption of 200 taels of silver could be avoided. .

Liu Yidao looked at these boats in Shuizhai Bay on Treasure Island, and his saliva was about to flow to the ground. Although his boat was also a medium-sized lucky boat, his boat was not as good as the lucky boat that Xiaotian took from the Lei family.

Of course, he knows the importance of such a ship to their industry. Whoever gets such a ship will not let go easily. He must have come here in vain. Even if Yu Xiaotian gives him face again, it is impossible to return the ship to the Lei family, but at least Yu Xiao God did not completely throw his face on the ground, but promised to give the Lei family 200 taels of silver, which is already quite a face for him.

Special thanks to the iron-handed love brother for the reward. Today is my birthday. Give yourself a day off and go out to play! Ha ha!)
