Daming pirates

As for the matter of recruiting people, after everyone discussed it, Yu Xiaotian handed it over to Wang Hong. Pirates! You have to do things the pirate way. It will definitely not work to set up a sign on the shore to recruit people.

, so emergency situations require extraordinary methods, so the only option is to rob.

Yu Xiaotian asked Wang Hong to choose a place, and mainly targeted some villages and towns near the sea. The personnel mainly targeted the refugees who had recently poured into Fujian, and went to the shore to kidnap some refugees by force.

It will cause too much damage to the local residents along the coast, so as not to anger the local government.

For the refugees, the government did not pay much attention to it. The influx of refugees was a headache for the local officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. They did not have the financial resources to provide relief, and they were not willing to use financial resources to provide relief to these refugees.

The refugees themselves are also unstable, and there are many good and bad among them. When some refugees move along the way, they will commit robberies and robberies, causing chaos in the place.

Therefore, in Yu Xiaotian's opinion, it is safer to target these refugees for kidnapping. Even if the government knows about it, they will be relieved because they have less of these refugees on the ground and will not worry about it.

He mobilized his troops to cause trouble for the Sea Wolf.

In addition to laborers doing these manual jobs, Guo Fu also raised the issue of shipwrights. Although Guo Fu now has several apprentices and two sons, his manpower is limited after all.

Ship repairing and shipbuilding are different. If you want to build a ship, the division of labor is very detailed. The craftsmen in a boathouse have many divisions of labor. There are those who are responsible for making hemp ropes, and there are blacksmiths who are responsible for making reinforcements for ships.

Nails, rivets... There are bamboo craftsmen who are responsible for weaving sails, rough carpenters who are responsible for cutting materials, joiners who specialize in fine work, and craftsmen who caulk.

In short, if you want this boathouse to have its own shipbuilding capabilities in the future, Guo Fu and the few apprentices he brought alone will not be enough, nor can they produce much work, and they cannot satisfy Xiaotian's needs at all.

Regarding the problem raised by Guo Fu, Yu Xiaotian invited his subordinates to discuss it together, and the final solution was still only one word, and that was to rob it!

Their target was directly selected on the boathouse in Meizhou Bay that He Guang secretly colluded with on the shore.

The shopkeeper of this boathouse has a very close relationship with He Guang. He Guang secretly colluded with the shopkeeper of the boathouse to monopolize the ship repair business of the Shark Gang and seek profits from it, so to attack him was also to let him

Wang Hong and others vented their previous bad breath.

So this matter was handed over to Wang Hong, who assigned a fleet to secretly attack the boat house and destroy it in one fell swoop. At the same time, he also wanted to kill all the craftsmen in the boat house and bring them back together.

To Nanri Island.

Wang Hong had also made a sneak attack on that boathouse before, but because He Guang, the spy, secretly tipped off the boathouse, they failed to do it twice. But now the situation is different, and Yu Xiaotian is in charge.

, there is no longer the possibility of someone tipping that guy off in advance, so you don’t have to worry about missing out this time.

So all the people's problems are completely handed over to Wang Hong to handle together. If necessary, he can cooperate with Feng Xi, the one who is good at doing things on the shore. The more people, the better. After the task is completed, he can help Feng Xi

Some benefits are given as a thank you, and I guess Feng Xi is also happy to help Sea Wolf with this favor.

After solving the problem of people, the next step is the problem of materials. Repairing the boathouse and expanding it at the same time will require a lot of materials, including a large amount of ironware. In addition to buying ready-made products on the shore,

, they can also build some by themselves, which also requires purchasing a batch of pig iron and wrought iron.

In addition, there was no cement in this era, and there was no limestone on Nanri Island for burning lime. As the main building materials, bricks, stone and wood, Nanri Island could only solve the stone problem on site, and a large amount of wood still needed to be purchased from the mainland.

This required a lot of money. After Yu Xiaotian made a list of the required materials, he immediately gave it to Zhao Mazi for valuation.

Zhao Mazi estimated that nearly two thousand taels of silver would be needed to purchase these materials, which was a lot of money. However, Yu Xiaotian didn't even frown and immediately asked Li Gouzi to allocate the silver for repair and expansion with a stroke of his pen.

Used for boathouses.

As for how to purchase it, it is not a problem. Nowadays, the sea people in Fuzhou are no longer fawning over Sea Wolf. As long as you send a message about such a transaction, there will be many people rushing to do it for Sea Wolf.

No longer need to be controlled by Li Yi's family.

Therefore, as long as the funds are in place, within a month, these materials will be continuously transported to Nanri Island for unloading, which will be enough to expand and repair the boathouse.

After sorting out the general situation of the boat house, Yu Xiaotian left the matter to Guo Fulai and asked him to restore the boat house and put it into operation as soon as possible after the manpower was in place. At first, the sea wolf appeared first.

Some ships undergo an overhaul and cleaning, and then talk about building new ships.

Before this matter could be settled, Yu Xiaotian summoned Blacksmith Lei, who was brought back from Guangzhou by Zhao Mazi, to his eyes.

After arriving at Dalian Island, Blacksmith Lei almost lost his life due to a stomachache and colds. Zhao Mazi left him on Dalian Island and entrusted him to the care of the Li family.

The Li family didn't dare to neglect this guy too much. They specially hired a doctor from the shore to go to Dalian Island for diagnosis and treatment. This guy was also relatively strong, and after a few days of recuperation, he basically recovered.

The Li family found out that this guy was not a good guy, and he was just getting better, so they started to gather the Li family's clerks in the Li family warehouse and gamble in the warehouse.

Moreover, this guy was still a lustful person. He was barely two days old when he molested the woman who was cooking and doing odd jobs in the Li family warehouse. As a result, Manager Li immediately threw him on the boat and sent him to Nanri Island.

This guy felt that he had skills and would receive preferential treatment when he arrived at the pirate den of Nanri Island. Otherwise, these pirates would not have gone all the way to Guangzhou to invite him, so he arrived at Nanri Island.

After that, he became restless in the village.

But he didn't expect that the rules here were very strict. After a few days of struggling, he was dragged into the torture hall for molesting a woman in the village and handed over to Liu Laoliu, the leader of the torture hall.

In the end, Liu Laoliu didn't care who he was, so he just had him beaten twenty times. As a result, he cried for his father and mother, and was left lying in the village for several days.

Liu Laoliu told this guy clearly, don't think that he has some skills, just because you don't know his last name, let him show off his tricks to see where this place is, the island is full of pirates, he can't be allowed to be here

Damn it, if you want to keep your head and make a living, just be a bit more f*cking honest.

After being beaten up, Blacksmith Lei finally became completely honest. After recovering from his injuries, he was thrown directly into Blacksmith Zhang's blacksmith shop, and Blacksmith Zhang was asked to take care of him. He was asked to work for Blacksmith Zhang first and do some blacksmithing.

things.

This guy was quite honest at first, but after a few days, he started to be old-fashioned again and became dishonest. On the one hand, he refused to listen to Blacksmith Zhang on the grounds that his craftsmanship was no worse than Blacksmith Zhang, and on the other hand, he secretly instigated

Blacksmith Zhang's new apprentices led them to secretly gamble.

As a result, Zhang Tiejiang sued Liu Laoliu, beat him up, and starved him for three days, and finally made him docile and became completely honest.

Yu Xiaotian didn't have time to entertain this guy some time ago, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about this guy. After all, this guy is related to his future military preparations. Yu Xiaotian knows everything about what he does, and for this reason, he has given special instructions to him.

Liu Laoliu once said that you should not be polite to such a guy. You must always put him under high pressure so that he can completely restrain himself. Otherwise, if you give him a little sunshine, this kind of person will become brilliant in no time.

Now when Yu Xiaotian thought of this guy, he was brought to him obediently and knelt on the ground without even daring to take a breath.

"Raise your head!" Yu Xiaotian sat high on the chair and said coldly with his legs crossed.

Blacksmith Lei quickly raised his head and showed his Chinese-character face in front of Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian looked at this guy and saw that he was strong, short in stature, with thick arms and wrists, and thick palms.

It is very thick, and you can tell at a glance that he was born in manual labor, and there are many burn marks on the exposed skin. These are the signs of a blacksmith. It is obvious that this guy has been working as a blacksmith for a long time.

"I heard that you are not an honest guy. You have committed many crimes since you came to my wolf's lair. Is it true?" Yu Xiaotian was not polite to this guy and asked him with a cold face.

Looking at Yu Xiaotian, who was unusually tall and burly, with a cold expression on his face, Blacksmith Lei was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and apologized, saying that he would never dare to do so again.

Yu Xiaotian sneered and then said: "I know all your bad things. I don't care what your character is like, whether you are a good person or not, but I want you to do something for me. If you don't do it well for me, I will be very sad."

I am happy to let you have a taste of my methods!

I've seen a lot of people like you, and I'm not afraid that if you don't work hard, it's not up to you when you get here! But if you follow my instructions and work hard for me, then I won't treat you badly!

Don’t you like gambling and women? As long as your skills are good, I won’t be stingy with rewards. Here, you can live comfortably without worrying about being arrested by the government or being bullied!

But first of all, if the cannon you made doesn't work and you deliberately cause trouble for me, you can count the items on your body and I won't care if I pick them off for you one by one!

Well, people like you are definitely not stupid, and I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you. I have called you here today, just for one thing: when can you start casting cannons for me? Can you cast good cannons for me?"

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Blacksmith Lei couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and his whole body shivered. He naturally knew how many bits and pieces he had on him. According to Yu Da's words, if he didn't do a good job, this Yu Da would be destroyed.

The leader is not a vegetarian, he has to say ugly things beforehand, and when the time comes, he will be chopped into pieces!

(Then give me some water! I feel dizzy! I still feel a lot of pain all over my body!)
