Daming pirates

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian immediately called Blacksmith Lei, Blacksmith Zhang and others to his residence. He found paper and pen and began to write and introduce the iron model cannons he knew to these bowsmiths.

method.

These blacksmiths are not mediocre, nor are they stupid. Technical matters are sometimes just a layer of window paper that can be seen through. The key is that someone must think of it first.

The craftsmanship required for this iron mold cannon-casting method does not exceed the level that the technology of this era can achieve. Anyone who knows how to do it will know how to do it once he hears it, even Blacksmith Zhang, who does not know how to cast cannons.

I immediately understood the reason.

In fact, there is nothing too mysterious about cannon casting. The key is to know how to open the mold, know the shape of the cannon, and know how to smelt molten iron. As long as you can do these things, ordinary blacksmiths can do it.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's introduction, Zhang Tiejiang immediately clapped his hands and praised it, exclaiming that this method was definitely a good method. He was even a little eager to try it on the spot.

After hearing this, Blacksmith Lei was shocked at first, and then turned a little pale, because he suddenly discovered that the master he was serving was not as simple as he thought. He actually knew so many things, and he also came up with such a cannon.

Although he has not tried the cannon-making method mentioned by Xiaotian, he knows that this method will definitely work if he thinks about it.

The most important thing is that once this method is adopted, he, the cannon-caster, will have nothing valuable. If he casts several sets of iron molds, even if he is killed in the future, the master Yu will not have to worry.

No one will cast cannons for him anymore. He only needs a few sets of iron molds and he can continuously cast cannons on his own. Doesn't this mean that he is ruining his job?

It can be said that this guy felt a chill on his neck at that time, knowing that his good days were over. In the past, no matter what, he still had skills that could be used as bargaining chips with others, but now he found that his skills were not important to this Yu Da.

In front of the master, it can be said that he is basically worthless. He knows so many things, how can he be allowed to bargain, not to mention that he is here, even without him, as long as this blacksmith Zhang is under his guidance, only

It takes some time to figure out how to make a much better iron cannon.

So after listening to Yu Xiaotian's idea, this guy could be said to be overwhelmed. He was stunned on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do.

After Yu Xiaotian finished speaking his thoughts, he raised his head and looked at Blacksmith Lei. He saw that Blacksmith Lei's expression was very bad, so he asked: "What? Blacksmith Lei, you look so bad, could it be that you feel that

Doesn’t my method work?”

When Lei Blacksmith heard Yu Xiaotian ask him, the expression on his face twitched, and he forced himself to show a smile that was uglier than crying. He curled up his neck and replied with a vulgar expression: "I don't dare, I don't dare! I'm the master.

He is really a great talent. He can come up with such a wonderful idea. I really admire him! If this method can work, it will definitely work!"

Yu Xiaotian dropped the charcoal stick in his hand, clapped his hands, took a piece of cloth from Liu Wang, wiped his hands, and sneered: "Blacksmith Lei, you look so bad. If I guessed correctly, you should

I'm worried that after using this method, your job will be ruined!"

Blacksmith Lei knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly: "Young ones don't dare, little ones don't dare!"

Yu Xiaotian sat on the chair with his hands behind his back, took a sip of tea, and said to blacksmith Lei who was kneeling on the ground: "Lei, don't worry too much. Although this method of casting cannons has made your craftsmanship less good."

It's valuable, but I'm not the kind of person who just throws away the trouble and kills the donkey.

I will leave it to you to take charge of the artillery work. I am not suspicious of anyone who employs someone. Since I have hired you, I can trust you. But the premise is that you are here and you must do your best for me and give me good artillery.

, make more cannons, and I will not treat you badly!

But as the old saying goes, if you don’t do it honestly, my method of forging cannons will never be known to outsiders. You have all heard the consequences, and you should figure it out for yourself! No need for me to give you nonsense.

It is related to the future fate and future of my sea wolf, and I will never be merciful!

Everyone, come and help me, Yu Xiaotian. What kind of person am I, Yu? Some of you already know this method. I told you this method today. Starting from tomorrow, with Lei Blacksmith as the leader, you will go all out to follow this method.

Forge a cannon for me.

Without the process of opening the clay molds, things will be much simpler. I will give you one month to make the first set of iron molds and at the same time cast the first cannon for me.

This first cannon doesn’t need to be too big, it doesn’t matter if it’s smaller. Let’s start with a six-pounder. After you become more proficient, you can gradually enlarge it to make a bigger cannon!

If you do a good job, I, Yu, will never begrudge you a reward. That’s it for today. You go down and think about it carefully, and we’ll start working on it tomorrow!”

After hearing this, Blacksmith Lei, Blacksmith Zhang and other blacksmiths felt chills in their hearts, because they all understood the advantages of this method of casting cannons. Once this method is used properly, one job can yield hundreds of profits.

, not only the cannon manufacturing time is greatly shortened, but the quality of cannon manufacturing is also greatly improved, and the cost of cannon manufacturing will also become very low.

If such a method were to be leaked, the value of it could not be measured with money. So when Yu Xiaotian told them this "secret method", he had actually completely tied them to the Sea Wolf's ship.

There was no way they could get off this pirate ship.

They can definitely imagine that if they want to leave here, Yu Xiaotian will definitely kill people to protect his secret method. Therefore, in the future, they will have no choice but to stay here and work for Sea Wolf honestly.

There is no way out.

However, Zhang Tiejiang seemed to be a bit nervous and didn't take Xiaotian's threat to heart at all. However, he still looked excited and agreed repeatedly with a smile.

It's no wonder that after Yu Xiaotian got to know this guy over this period of time, he discovered that this guy is basically an iron maniac. It seems that apart from playing with iron, nothing else in his life is important to him.

In the past, in order to make a living on land, he had to build some crude farm tools every day, but after joining Yu Xiaotian, he had more room to perform. In addition to helping Sea Wolf build what he needed, he also

It's okay to do whatever you like.

Yu Xiaotian did not place any restrictions on him, and he was also very kind to his family. His wife now gave birth to a big fat boy for him. In order to prevent Zhang Blacksmith from being distracted, Yu Xiaotian even matched his wife with an old woman.

, is responsible for helping him take care of the child, and also gives his wife special care, good food, good drink, and good service, so that his wife has enough milk and water, and the child eats well and is fat and healthy.

Zhang Tiejiang enjoys this kind of life very much. Now he never thinks about going back to the mainland. He is determined to stay and work with Yu Xiaotian.

Some time ago, he even began to explore the barrel of a bird gun on his own. Although no successful work has been published so far, Yu Xiaotian has seen his process of making barrels and has already learned about barrel making from his memory.

The methods are almost the same.

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian specially took out a well-made musket and gave it to Blacksmith Zhang to study. He also collected information about the ancient method of making muskets in his mind. After sorting it out, he gave it to Blacksmith Zhang, and Blacksmith Zhang also benefited greatly from it.

Qian, so what Blacksmith Zhang lacks now is just experience. Yu Xiaotian believes that after a while, Blacksmith Zhang will definitely be able to imitate a usable blunderbuss.

What Blacksmith Zhang was most grateful to Yu Xiaotian for was this kind of trust. Yu Xiaotian never interfered with his tinkering with these matters, but also gave him ideas and found ways to help him design some fixtures and tools for making gun barrels.

So now, let alone Blacksmith Zhang, let him run away. Even if Yu Xiaotian drives him away now, he will not leave. Yu Xiaotian's threats just now have no effect on him at all.

After hearing this, the other blacksmiths all kowtowed with fear and made promises. In short, they understood that they could only stay and work here in a down-to-earth manner.
