Chapter 26 Test 2

When Yu Xiaotian delivered the artillery and ammunition, he did not order the medicine package for Chen Xun, but only provided them with a batch of bulk pellet gunpowder. In this regard, the sea wolf did not cheat them anymore. What the gunpowder was given to them was a fairly good quality refined pellet gunpowder, and told Chen Xun that the rated amount of charge for various artillery. Chen Xun painted a ladle. When he came back to fill the ammunition, he simply found a rod scale. Every time he loaded the ammunition, he weighed it with a scale first, so he would not fill too much or too little gunpowder.

However, this method is really a little clumsy. Once you fight with others, you will definitely have no time to weigh the gunpowder again and again. At that time, it will be up to the gunner to estimate.

But now they are testing the gun, and it's okay to do so slowly, it's safer, and it can also stabilize the amount of charge, which can ensure the degree of hair * to a certain extent.

After another gunshot, the shell flying out of the muzzle hit the upper left of the five-layer board superimposed target, and only heard a loud click. The huge impact force even hit the wooden frame they set up hit the ground. Everyone quickly ran over to watch the power of the cannonball.

The target that collapsed on the ground has been scattered at this time. Although the hole in the shell hit, five thick boards were still broken through on the spot and opened a transparent hole. However, after the shell also broke through the five boards, it consumed most of its kinetic energy and fell at a distance. Far from the target, there is still smoke and hot.

After watching it, everyone even smacked their tongues and exclaimed that the cannon was indeed powerful. Sometimes they fight with people at sea. If the enemy's ship is built stronger, the ship plate will be thicker, and their shells will not hit, but even if they hit the enemy ship, when the shell falls on the enemy's hull, it is often impossible. It is very frustrating to break through the board of enemy ships and the shells are often dropped into the sea.

But today, when they see that the small red cannon cast by the sea wolf can actually break through such a thick board a hundred steps away, it is easy to deal with ordinary ships, not to mention that the sea wolf's cannon is "very accurate", if they can put more such cannons on their ships. Then they can walk across the sea in the future!

So everyone felt excited and began to clamor to get these cannons back and put them on their ship. In that case, they would no longer have to worry about Zheng Yiguan in the future.

Yan Siqi raised his hand to stop the noise of these cronies and said to the crowd, "It seems that the sea wolf's cannon is indeed very good. The price they opened is also fair. At least the goods are good goods. Yan is the bearer of this love!

Now wait for them to deliver the cannon to us, but I'm afraid it's far from enough to hand over the cannon to us. None of us is good at using this kind of thing. Even if they hand over the goods to us, we won't use it, and then it will be useless!

So Chen Xun, you have worked hard and went to Nanri Island of the Sea Wolf again. First, send them the silver. In addition, please hand over these goods to us as soon as possible!

In addition, if you brought me with the head of the family, you said that Yan has no feelings for him, but I have to trouble them again. Please teach us how to use these guns. As long as they are willing to teach our brothers, I will definitely return this another day!"

Chen Xun immediately nodded and agreed, but there was a trace of worry on his face. He said to Yan Siqi, "Brother, it's okay to go there again. This is also what I should do. There is no need to say whether it's hard or not!"

But this time I will go there, but I have to transport tens of thousands of taels of silver. If I only take a boat there, I'm worried about some trouble on the road! In addition, if you transport the cannon back and learn to operate the cannon here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cover people's eyes. If not, the man will know the news immediately!

So according to my opinion, it's better for us to go there this time and choose some brothers to follow me, which can not only protect the silver, but also learn to fuck the sea wolf on the spot! In this way, you won't be afraid of the wind! I don't know what the eldest brother's intention is?"

After thinking about it behind his back, Yan Siqi lowered his head and briefly discussed with several other brothers. He turned around and said, "This makes sense! After all, this is the hard money we have saved for such a long time. It was originally intended to be reserved for recruiting civilians, but now we have to buy these things. If something happens, I'm afraid we will no longer be able to take out so much money! So it's right to be more careful!

In addition, Chen Xun said that it is also reasonable to send people to follow the sea wolf and learn to fuck. After all, there are too many eyes and ears here, so it would be more appropriate to put it on the sea wolf!

But I'm still a little worried. Well, Chen Xun, take a boat first and discuss this matter with the person in charge. If we send too many boats there, I'm afraid some people will suspect that something may happen on the way, so you take people to go first!

Please send some of his ships and brothers to welcome our silver ships after six days. Don't come too close to us. After noon, watch our ship smoke, catch our ship directly at sea and escort our ship to Nanri Island! It will be safer in this way!

As for our people who used to learn how to fuck guns with them, I will send a group of trusted brothers in the next two days and go there with them. After learning, they will come back directly with cannons. With these big killers, what else can we worry about?

After hearing this, Chen Xun nodded and agreed. Everyone packed up and took out two muskets and tried them. He felt that this kind of musket made in Nanri Island was not bad compared with the Japanese iron cannon, Daming's bird guns, and even the muskets made by the Thai people before, regardless of range and accuracy. In terms of power, it is remarkable and can be regarded as one of the best of the same kind of fire.

What they like more is that the thickness of the rifle made in Nanri Island is the same thickness. Even the rifle they gave is very good. There are no existing big and small problems. Once some rifles are big, they will not be able to fit into the rifle. Sometimes even if they are barely stuffed in, it will be expensive. There is a lot of effort to pound the bilge into the bottom of the bilge. If you don't do it, it will explode.

But if the gun is too small, put it into the barrel. Once the muzzle is facing down, the gun will roll out of the gun barrel by itself. In addition, such a gun is not far away (the gap is too depressing) and the power is very small.

However, these hammers made by the sea wolf, no matter which arson is put into, the gap is just right, not loose, and fits quite well with the inner wall of the hammer, which shows that the sea wolf's craftsmen do things very carefully, and these trivial things are also quite well done.

Therefore, Yan Siqi and others have a new understanding of the sea wolf, from the previous fear to the present respect. Now they dare not regard the sea wolf as their imaginary enemy. Yesterday, after listening to what Chen Xun said, they all realized the horror of the sea wolf.

Seawolves not only have these sharp cannons, but also their subordinates are well trained, and each of them is quite powerful. If they are against Seawolves, they believe that their end will be quite tragic. Chu Cai is the lesson of the past, and once they turn against the sea wolf, they are afraid I'm afraid it will be much worse than Chu Cai's old result.

Therefore, by this time, everyone has given up the idea of being an enemy of the sea wolf. The only thing left is the awe of the sea wolf in their hearts. Everyone, including Yan Siqi, secretly made up their minds that they would rather offend anyone and could not offend Yu Xiaotian in the future. They can only be friends with the sea wolf in the future. I want to be the enemy of the sea wolf again.

Chapter 27 Mantis Catching Cicadas

The warships of the eight sea wolves slowly advanced on the sea, in a horizontal formation, maintaining a certain distance from each other, bumping and undulating on the rolling sea, moving towards the direction of Taiyuan Island Bengang.

In the middle is a twelding sailboat, but the sails of this swelling are relatively strange. The main sail is a Chinese hard sail, but the avant-garde cable sail on the foremast is a Western-style triangular soft sail, which not only has the advantages of convenient operation of Chinese sailing, but also has some advantages of Western sailing. The hull is closer to the shape of a Western-style sailboat and looks very unique.

However, although Chinese sails have the advantage of high wind efficiency, they cannot be made because of their large weight. Although Western soft sails are slightly less wind efficiency, the area can be made very large, offsetting its weaknesses and enabling ships to obtain greater wind power. In this way, more or less It will affect the speed of some of this tamaran.

However, even so, the speed of this non-like tamaran is still much higher than that of other Chinese sailboats, so today when they are moving slowly, the sails of this ship have not all risen, but only the main sails and triangular sails of the foremath have been raised, so that it can easily follow Get on the fleet and sail forward with the fleet.

In this fleet, there is also a ship that does not belong to the sea wolf, accompanied by the left side of the tamaran, following the sea wolf's fleet towards Ben Harbor.

Today, it is not others who lead the team, but Yu Xiaotian, who did not personally lead the fleet to sea during this period.

After Chen Xun arrived at the Lang Cave Village on Nanri Island, he informed Yu Xiaotian of their concerns. Yu Xiaotian immediately agreed to his various requests and decided to send a fleet to Bengang to catch the silver ship sent by Yan Siqi.

This silver will be his filial piety in the future, and it is not a small amount. Once something happens at sea and it is robbed, it will be cheaper for others, so he took some trouble to escort the silver to Nanri Island for his own good.

Originally, he left this matter to his hand to do, but Yu Xiaotian thought that he had been busy during this period. Several big actions of the sea wolf were asked Ma Xiao and others to lead his troops to do it. As the boss of the sea wolf, he always nestled on Nanri Island or ran around in fresh water, chicken cages and other places, and let dangerous things go down. There may be no problem in a short time, but for a long time, it will inevitably make some subordinates feel a little bad.

It happens that the Spring Festival is approaching these days, and all kinds of affairs of the sea wolf have also been included in the track, and he has a lot of leisure. These days, he has taken time to accompany Lan'er and Xiu'er, who are about to make up for his debt to his family.

Although women like Lan'er and Xiuer adhere to the fine traditions of ancient women, they will not fool around because Yu Xiaotian has no time to pay attention to them. They stand quietly behind Yu Xiaotian and do what they can do. They never dare to disobey their husbands. Yu Xiaotian is very satisfied with this, but he still hopes that You can spend more time with them when you are free. After all, they are about to give birth and bring him two babies.

This time, considering that there was plenty of time for the time being, he simply decided to go there by himself. First, he went to sea for a break, and second, by the way, he checked the training level of the sailors of his fleet during this period.

So Yu Xiaotian ordered a few boats and temporarily used the brevboat as his flagship. Before the appointed time, he led the fleet out to sail to Bengang.

Because Yan Siqi wanted to beware of the wind and was afraid of being known by Zheng Yiguan, Yu Xiaotian was also inconvenient to lead the fleet directly to Yan Siqi's Bengang to pick up the goods. Therefore, after they arrived at the sea more than 30 miles northwest of Bengang, they all lowered their speed and slowly circled around the sea, waiting for Yan Siqi's silver transportation. The ship came out.

Before Xiaotian led the team to reach the northern sea of Bengang, more than a dozen kinds of ships also appeared on the sea outside Bengang, far away from the edge of sea level, keeping a distance from the port of Bengang, so that people in the port could not find their whereabouts, but their fighting, However, you can observe the situation of ships entering and leaving the port from afar.

About the morning, three ships slowly sailed out of Yan Siqi's wharf. After leaving the dock, they went to the sea. After circling slightly on the sea for a while, they found nothing abnormal, so the three ships immediately turned to adjust their sails and took the zigzag route on the sea in a lateral wind. Slowly drive in the direction of Fuzhou to the northwest.

"Second Master! They are out! Start turning to the northwest!" A bucket on the top of the mast, after carefully looking at the sea with a pergola, he bent down and shouted at the people on the boat.

On the stern building of the ship's deck, there were some people standing, led by a big man with a big face. This man was called the second master, who was the leader of this fleet.

And this person's identity is very special. He is also surnamed Zheng, nicknamed Python II. He is the eldest brother of Zheng Yiguan. Since childhood, he has followed Zheng Yiguan to Macao to make a living. Later, he followed Zheng Yiguan around. After Zheng Yiguan was accepted as Li Dan as his adopted son, Zheng Python followed Zheng Yiguan to work under Li Dan. .

This time, Li Dan died suddenly, and Zheng Yiguan rushed to Pinghu to mourn. This Zheng Python made great contributions to Zheng Yiguan's final control of Li Dan's plate.

If anyone is unfamiliar with this Zheng Python, I'm afraid many people will know that this Zheng Python is Zheng Zhihu who changed his name to Zheng Zhilong after establishing 18 Zhizhi's name Zheng Zhilong.

After Zheng Yiguan took Li Dan's plate this time, he took people back to Taiwan Member Island, but he did not bring all his men back to Bengang, because he could not accommodate so many of his men at all, most of his men were still as before, just bringing some people back here, but these people He Chuan did not obey Yan Siqi's command, but directly obeyed Zheng Yiguan's command.

This time, Zheng Yiguan brought back more than 2,000 of his men and only 80 ships in Fujian. Recently, under his orders, these men began to move around Zhangquan, constantly harassing the coast of Zhangquan, and grabbed the territory with Chu Cailao. They have been on the sea of Zhangzhou with Chu Cailao's men. There have been many conflicts.

Both sides are now damaged. For the time being, Chu Cai Lao has not fallen behind, but it also makes Chu Cai Lao feel a lot of pressure. Hiddenly, Zheng Yiguan has a posture to squeeze Yan Siqi out of this area, which also makes many of Yan Siqi's brothers extremely dissatisfied with Zheng Yiguan.

And Zheng Yiguan's brother, of course, is going to work for Zheng Yiguan. Just a few days ago, Zheng Yiguan received a secret report from his subordinates that Yan Siqi had taken action during this period. It seemed that he was recruiting people everywhere, and mysteriously gathered in the big village with a group of his cronies. I don't know. What are you playing with?

So Zheng Yiguan immediately ordered someone to explore the news in private. As a result, he accidentally found out that Yan Siqi hooked up with Yu Xiaotian again and wanted to buy a batch of cannons from Yu Xiaotian. Now he has got a few cannons, and then he has to transport a large amount of money to Nanri Island to buy more cannons. Qi has received several cannons and tried them in a remote place. What's more, he even paid to get out the exact time when Yan Siqi sent a ship to send silver from Bengang to Nanri Island.

Zheng Yiguan became nervous immediately after hearing this, because his relationship with Yan Siqi has become very tense these days. Although the two sides still maintain harmony on the surface, the people on both sides in private have been full of the smell of gunpowder and a tense posture.

In fact, Zheng Yiguan also fell in love with the area of Bengang. In the past, when he worked with Yan Siqi, it was because his wings were not yet full, and Yan Siqi was very popular. He was young and weak, and naturally unable to grab the position of the boss with him, so he could follow Yan Siqi at ease.

However, when he took over his adoptive father Li Dan's plate, his strength suddenly increased, and almost instantly overwhelmed Yan Siqi's strength, so Zheng Yiguan's heart immediately came to life.

It is impossible for him to live under the shelter of others forever. Since he was a child, Zheng Yiguan felt that he was different and wanted to do something big. With his cleverness, he has jumped from a penniless gangster on the street to one of the few big ones on the sea. The boss is so powerful that he can't believe it.

In the past, his strength was not good. Now he has more than 10,000 people and hundreds of ships. He has returned these ships to Yan Siqi and continues to follow Yan Siqi. Not to mention that he is unwilling, even his brothers do not agree.

This kind of thing is actually very simple. In the sea, where the emperor is far away and the government can't reach, whoever is strong is the boss.

At present, he is much stronger than Yan Siqi, and he still follows Yan Siqi as a younger brother, so his men encouraged him to simply overturn Yan Siqi, grab the territory of Bengang, and treat this place as their old camp.

This idea is a very powerful thing for Zheng Yiguan. He is now determined to return to the coastal area of Daming with his men, so no matter which colleague is his potential opponent, he wants to become the number one boss along the coast of Daming and control the whole Chinese sea in his hands.

But at present, he does not have a suitable foothold, because he came a little late, and Chu Cai Lao and other bigwigs are in the south. Yu Xiaotian is occupied by the sea wolf in the north. The only place he can intervene is the coast of Quanzhou, but there is no place to be an old camp.
