Daming pirates

Chapter 21 Know Yourself and the Enemy

The two whales, with their white bellies on their backs, undulated slowly in the sea water. They were dragged backwards by the ship back to Nanri Island. A small boat came out of the bay and took the rope holding the whale's tail from the big ship.

On the boat, everyone paddled back to the shore.

Groups of people gathered on the beach to watch the excitement. After seeing such a big whale, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, and everyone was amazed.

Under the greeting of the person in charge, many people rushed up to catch the rope brought ashore by the boat. Some people placed logs on the shore and paved the track.

Someone had already installed several thick wooden winches on the shore. After winding the ropes around the winches, they started to push the winches while shouting slogans.

More people helped pull the rope and slowly pulled the dead whale ashore in the sea.

These two whales were captured by Yu Xiaotian on the nearby sea with his fleet as a traditional test for the sailors of each ship. They were large and small in size. They were all hunted at sea by the Sea Wolf tribe.

For such traditional test items, the old members of the Sea Wolf are already accustomed to it, but for the newcomers, this is the first time.

Although these pirates usually rob ships and kill people at sea, it is the first time for all the newcomers to let them deal with such a big thing.

So when they saw the old members of the Sea Wolf leading them in an orderly manner to chase the whale and hunt the behemoth, many newcomers were shocked, especially when they saw that under the leadership of the old brothers,

After successfully hunting whales, many newcomers admired these old brothers with admiration.

Although Yu Xiaotian led his men to go out to sea for exercises almost every day during these days, he could not just sit back and have nothing to do, so he still ordered to hunt a few whales during the exercise. First, he could replenish a large number of whales for his subordinates.

Meat, and secondly, you can also prepare some fat in advance for future fights with Hunjianglong, so that Hunjianglong can fully experience the sea wolf's killer weapon in the future.

At the same time, I also took this opportunity to let the ships under my command practice their cooperation with each other, so that some guys who have never seen blood can take the opportunity to experience what a bloody scene is.

After the two whales were towed back, the weather was relatively good. The weather, which had been hot these days, suddenly started to blow up, making everyone feel a little cooler.

The experienced old man said that there would be a big storm soon, so Yu Xiaotian did not dare to neglect and ordered to go all out to kill and divide the two whales.

Now he is no longer short of manpower. One to two hundred people worked together, chopping with knives and axes, and divided the two whales in only one day. When the whale meat was divided, it was used to make baskets.

The large salt particles are pickled to save the weather from being hot and will soon be cured.

But even so, summer is not a good time for whaling. Before they have processed all the whale meat, the remaining whale meat has already begun to smell and smell.

If it were in future generations, Yu Xiaotian would definitely have people throw away or bury the remaining whale meat. But in this era, even for pirates, meat is not an easy food to obtain. After everyone's strong request,

Next, these flavorful whale meats were pickled and taken to the newly built Kang rooms to be dried and stored.

Naturally, the whale blubber was still cooked using the old method. Large pots were set up on the spot and boiled pot after pot. Finally, whale oil was refined into whale oil, which was packaged and stored.

Looking at the hot beach, Yu Xiaotian smelled the strong smell in the air and couldn't help shaking his head. He secretly made up his mind that after winter this year, he would send a fleet north to Shandong or Bohai Bay.

Over there, try to transport a large amount of ice to store on the island.

In this way, after going out to sea to hunt whales or fish in the future, the whale meat and fish can be stored in the ice cellar to keep them fresh for a longer period of time.

Since whaling was the first time on Nanri Island, not only the tribesmen on the island were attracted, but also the fishermen from the two fishing villages on the island were attracted and gathered together.

Watching the fun on the beach.

Since Yu Xiaotian came to Nanri Island, the life of the fishermen in the two fishing villages on the island has become much more stable. The fishermen no longer have to hand over most of their catch to them as before, but

Yu Xiaotian allowed him to keep most of the catch, and he only had to pay 30% of the catch to the wolf cave.

If the fishermen dry their remaining catch, they can sell it directly to the Sea Wolf Gang on the spot. Although the purchase price is relatively low, it is much safer than transporting the catch to the shore. First, it is much safer, and second, it is much safer.

This also saves them from being exploited by the fishing tyrants on the shore. After all, their harvest is still much more than what they would earn by selling on the shore.

Coupled with the strict behavior of the Sea Wolf tribe after Yu Xiaotian landed on the island, these pirates no longer dare to bully the fishermen on the island, which makes the lives of the fishermen in the two fishing villages on the island even more difficult.

It was much better, and these fishermen gradually relaxed their courage and became much closer to the Sea Wolf tribe.

So when they heard that the Sea Wolf Gang had captured two behemoths at sea, the fishermen couldn't help but be curious and ran over in groups to watch the fun. Some people couldn't help it and even stepped forward to help.

After dividing the whales, the atmosphere on the beach seems quite harmonious.

After seeing this scene, in order to win over the fishermen on these islands to advance and retreat with the sea wolves in the future, Yu Xiaotian simply asked his men to give some despised whale viscera and some scattered whale meat to these fishermen.

The fishermen were so happy that they all happily found their baskets and carried the scraps of offal or whale meat back to the fishing village in baskets and disposed of them themselves.

At the end of just one day, only two whale skeletons were left on the beach. The remaining usable items were almost wiped out and became the reserves in the Sea Wolf Gang's warehouse.

Yin Hong's whale blood was everywhere on the beach, as well as some scattered pieces of meat that could not be collected. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as well as the stench from the nearby cauldrons where whale oil was boiled.

After experiencing such a scene of cutting up a whale, people who had never seen blood gradually adapted to such blood from the initial nausea, and their nerves became thicker. The color red no longer stimulated their nerves as it did at first.

Nervous, this is also the result Yu Xiaotian wants.

The wind and waves on the sea began to get stronger. After approaching Nanri Island, a small boat flew the flag of Sea Wolf and was quickly allowed to enter the bay.

After a person from the boat got off the boat, he quickly found Yu Xiaotian, knelt down on one knee and said to Xiaotian: "I am reporting to the master! The younger one just came back from Nangantang!"

"Tell me, what's going on at Hun Jianglong these days?" Yu Xiaotian asked the returning man after waving his hands for the rest to go further away.

"Thank you to the boss! The boys pretended to be fishermen and took a detour from Dalian Island until they reached Nangantang. Along the way, they did not see Hun Jianglong's men crossing Haishan Island, but they encountered them near the mouth of the Minjiang River.

A few boats that are like dragons in the river.

After the little ones arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, they turned to Nangantang and met two more of their boats on land. They stopped the little ones, got on the boats and interrogated us, and then robbed some of the fish we had caught.

Went there and didn't find out the identities of the little ones.

After we were released, we went fishing in the Nangantang area and saw five or six of their boats going in and out of Nangantang.

After staying for half a day, in order to prevent them from discovering our identities, the kids didn’t dare to stay any longer, so they walked back to the east of Haishan Island!

On the way back, we ran into a boat belonging to a gangster in the Dongchi Island area, and they robbed it again!

During this trip, we found a total of nearly twenty boats owned by Hun Jianglong. It is estimated that Hun Jianglong brought at least twenty boats this time!" This person was sent to investigate the situation of Hun Jianglong.

, is an old brother of Sea Wolf, who also followed Yu Xiaotian from Xiaohuang Island. Now he is quite calm in his work, and he is quite witty, and his speech is also very organized.

After listening to his words, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Ma Hui, you guys did a great job this time, not bad! I will mark the merit for each of you once, and also reward you with twelve taels of silver tattoos, and the other three

I’ll also reward you with five taels of silver! Let’s keep up the good work in the future!”

After hearing this, Ma Hui was immediately overjoyed. He quickly lowered his head to thank him, and then happily went to Liu Laoliu to receive the reward.

Looking at the sea breeze that was getting stronger, Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath. Although he decided to wait for a while this time, it didn't mean that he would just sit back and wait. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger. In order to better understand Hun Jianglong's situation,

According to the situation, during this period, he sent a group of men, disguised as fishermen, on several fishing boats to explore the situation of Hunjianglong in the Nangantang area.

Now that the news is gradually coming back, he has roughly figured out the strength of Hun Jianglong's trip south this time. He thinks that this Hunjiang Dragon is really destined to win! He actually brought down more than 20 ships this time.

, this clearly intends to gradually encroach on Fuzhou’s territory!

With his own strength, even if he goes out in full force, he is no match for Hun Jianglong. Even if he adds Liu Yidao, One-Eyed Dragon and other local counterparts, the strength of the two sides may not be equal.

Therefore, the future battle between Sea Wolf and Hun Jianglong is destined to be a difficult battle, but not fighting is not an option. No matter what, he must bite the bullet and fight.

Yu Xiaotian slowly walked back to his residence. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a fresh fragrance, which lifted his spirits. He looked up and saw a slim figure busy in his room.

Although Yu Xiaotian is now the head of the huge Sea Wolf Gang, his life is still relatively simple. In addition to leaving more than ten soldiers around him, he did not leave himself a few maids to serve him.

.

Most of the time, Lan'er, the quasi-wife, still takes care of his daily life. Now the only woman who can come in and out of his residence at will is Lan'er, and no one else.
