Daming pirates

Although this kind of sloop is small in size and has only two decks, it is very practical. The construction technology is not difficult and the materials used are not very large. Once it is put into construction, the craftsmen of the boathouse

You can master construction techniques quickly.

Moreover, the force of this kind of sloop is not necessarily that small. If it is built according to the lighter 200-material ship, the length of the hull will be about 20 meters and the width will be about 5 meters. In addition, the middle deck is from

The bow leads directly to the stern, at

Three or four six-pound guns can be placed on both sides of the ship. Two twelve-pound cannons can also be placed at the bow and stern where the structure is strongest. In this way, this kind of sloop can be equipped with up to ten guns.

The gun already possesses quite strong combat effectiveness.

If the ship size is enlarged and built according to a 400-material ship, and a mast is added, the length can reach nearly 30 meters, the width of the ship can reach more than six meters, and five to seven 12-pound cannons can be placed on each side of the ship.

and six-pound guns. Several more six-pound guns can be placed on the upper open deck. The number of guns on the ship can reach nearly twenty, which means it has stronger firepower.

Although such a ship is not enough to compete with the large Galen-type warships currently used by the Dutch or British, it can already compete with ordinary medium-sized Western warships. The most important thing is its speed and flexibility.

They are far superior to the Galenic ships currently used by Westerners.

Therefore, Yu Xiaocai believed that such a ship was the ship he needed most and the most suitable ship for their current construction, so he spent more than ten days and led several carpenters to personally build this single-masted ship.

Model of a schooner.

When he saw that the ship model was completely completed and presented in front of him, Yu Xiaotian breathed a long sigh of relief. This is the best thing he has done so far, and he thinks he has done it since he came to this world.

One thing, it was also the thing he wanted to do the most, and now he finally did it.

Surrounding the model ship, which was less than one meter in length, Yu Xiaotian carefully inspected it and arranged the sails on the ship. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ship, he returned to the bedroom.

rest.

When Xiaotian returned to the bedroom, he found that the light was still on in the bedroom. Zhao Si, who was following him, was already yawning nonstop and was walking a little unsteadily.

Yu Xiaotian then asked: "Zhao Si, what time is it now?"

Zhao Si yawned and replied: "Back to the boss, it's already past the third watch now, and it's about to be the fourth watch. The boss stays up so late every day during this period, and the brothers all

I feel that it is not an option for the boss to continue like this. If he continues to endure like this, his body may not be able to bear it!

Just now, Madam quietly came to the front to see you. Seeing that you were still busy, she asked the young master to advise the master to rest early and not to be exhausted!

The younger one wanted to say something, but the boss kicked him out. The younger one had no choice but to stay outside the door!

The madam is still awake. Even if the master doesn’t feel sorry for himself, he should at least feel sorry for the madam! Every day, the madam has been staying with the madam until now, and the madam’s body won’t be able to bear it for a long time!”

Only then did Yu Xiaotian realize that it was already early in the morning. He had been busy making the model of this sloop every night these days. He had to work until about four o'clock every night before resting. Lan'er and Xiu'er also

Almost every night, I wait for him to wash himself before going to bed.

When he thought of this, Yu Xiaotian was moved. Men in this era are so happy. Most of their wives are very virtuous. If their husbands don't sleep, they have to wait and accompany them. Lan'er is now

His wife was married, but she still didn't change at all, serving him carefully.

As for him, apart from spending a few days with her during the wedding days, in the following days, he was either running around or working in the front until midnight, and rarely paid attention to Lan'er's situation. Even when he got married,

Because he had to deal with so many guests every day, he went back dizzy after drinking. In fact, he had very little time to really spend time with Lan'er.

Yu Xiaotian felt a sense of guilt in his heart, so he patted Zhao Si on the shoulder and said: "Okay! Go to bed. You guys have been staying up late with me every day these days. I think you guys are too."

It’s almost gone! I’ll just go to bed early from now on! Don’t be wordy!”

Zhao Si bared his teeth and smiled, and bowed to Yu Xiaotian, turned around and ran back to the front yard where their guards lived. Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath and walked towards Lan'er's house.

bedroom.

The candlelight in the bedroom was still on. Lan'er was sitting on a chair, sewing a piece of clothing under the candlelight. You didn't need to look to know that she was still sewing new clothes for Yu Xiaotian.

After the Jiang family was rescued, Lan'er took over the sewing work of all Yu Xiaotian's clothes. From head to toe, she basically prepared clothes for all seasons for Yu Xiaotian.

As long as Yu Xiaotian needs it, he will have new clothes to wear at any time. Thinking that when he first came here, he only had a pair of shorts on his body, and now he feels very happy.

Next to the small table at the door of the bedroom, Xiu'er was already sitting on a small chair and fell asleep on the small table. After all, Xiu'er was not too old and was not very good at staying up late. At this moment, she was lying on the table.

On the bed, he was sleeping deeply, with a little drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, and a bright line appeared under the candlelight.

When Yu Xiaotian opened the door, Xiu'er was not awakened and was still asleep at the desk. Lan'er was obviously a little unable to hold on anymore. She was holding the sewing clothes in one hand and a

He couldn't help but put his little hand to his mouth and yawned, which made Yu Xiaotian a little funny.

"Brother is back! Xiu'er, wake up quickly, brother is back! Hurry up and prepare face wash!" Lan'er heard the door, raised her head and saw Yu Xiaotian walking into the room with his legs up, and quickly put down his hand.

He stood up and said hello to Yu Xiaotian, while shouting to Xiu'er who was still sleeping soundly at the door.

And even though they were married, Lan'er was still used to calling Yu Xiaotian eldest brother by his surname, instead of calling him husband. Yu Xiaotian was also used to Lan'er calling him that, so neither of them changed their names.

However, because Xiu'er was a maid in the same house, Yu Xiaotian was a little uncomfortable with Xiaotian changing his name to "master". Are he old? He always felt old-fashioned when he was called like this, so he asked Xiu'er to call him "master" in private.

It is different from Laner.

Xiu'er, who was sleeping, heard Lan'er's cry and woke up with a groan. She quickly wanted to get up, but because her body was not coordinated suddenly and her legs were stiff, she fell down again as soon as she stood up.

"Okay, okay! No need to be busy, Xiu'er, go and rest. I just washed my face in front! I kept you waiting!" Yu Xiaotian said with a smile to Xiu'er who was trying to stand up.

At this time, Xiu'er realized that the corner of her mouth was a little cold. She stretched out her hand to touch it and found that she had drooled a lot. Her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She quickly stood up again, saluted Xiaotian and said with a blushing face: "The master is back!

I just fell asleep unknowingly. I hope the master and my wife will forgive me! I will go and wash the master’s feet right now!”

Yu Xiaotian waved his hand to Xiu'er to get the water, walked slowly to Lan'er's side, reached out and took Lan'er's little hand, caressed it and said: "Lan'er, you followed me, it's really hard for you! I either

If I am not by your side, I will stay up late every day, preventing you from having a good rest, waiting for me every day!

If I come back late in the future, you don’t have to wait for me! Look at you, the lighting is not good at night, and you are still sitting here making clothes for me. Over time, your eyes will be damaged!"

Lan'er snuggled into Xiaotian's arms and said quietly: "Brother Yu, don't say that, Lan'er's ability to meet you is a blessing from Lan'er's past life!

I know you are a person who does big things, so I won’t blame you if you can’t stay by my side every day! I just see you so busy every day, but can’t help you at all, and I really feel sorry for you!

Now that we have such a big family business, Brother Yu should be satisfied. It’s better not to be so busy in the future. When it’s time to take a break, take a break! What should Lan’er do if your body is broken?

"

Yu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lan'er, you are wrong. What we do in this industry is like sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat! Zhang Hu was a good example at the beginning. He was satisfied with the status quo. As a result,

It made my subordinates lose heart, and eventually they were taken advantage of by me, and ended up being hanged!

Although our plate is not small now, compared to those big guys, we are nothing. If I am content now, sooner or later, I will follow Zhang Hu's footsteps!

There are many other things that I can’t tell you. The world will soon be in chaos. If we are not prepared before the chaos, we will be destroyed by others. Who knows who will end up in the end?

What an end!

So I can't stop, and I don't dare to stop! I hope you can understand what I mean. Once we set foot on this road, it is a road of no return, and we cannot turn back or stop!"

Lan'er nodded as if she understood something: "Brother's words are always so profound, Lan'er can't understand them! But Lan'er knows that everything eldest brother does is right! Since eldest brother said so, Lan'er doesn't understand either.

I advise you! But I also hope that I can take good care of my body and don’t be too tired!”

Yu Xiaotian pinched Lan'er's pointed chin, raised her pretty face, looked at Lan'er and kissed her fiercely on the small mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it in the future! At this moment

It’s getting late! I think we’d better get some rest quickly!”

Lan'er heard that there was another meaning in Yu Xiaotian's words, her heart trembled slightly, and she whispered to Xiaotian with a little embarrassment.

Yu Xiaotian looked up to the sky and sighed. He picked up Lan'er and put her on the bed. He pretended to be angry and said: "In this case, you are still flirting with me and haven't gone to bed early. You should be beaten! Go to bed quickly!"

You are not allowed to stay up late these days! If you are caught staying up late again, you will see if I can’t take care of you!"

Lan'er nodded and agreed with some regret, pushing Yu Xiaotian and said: "Brother, it's better to sleep in Xiu'er's room for the next two days! Lan'er can't serve eldest brother anymore!"

Yu Xiaotian was about to refuse when Xiu'er came in with a basin of hot water and wanted to help Yu Xiaotian soak his feet.

Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, because during this period he discovered that Xiu'er, a girl, is also a good person. She does things in a measured way and never competes for favor. She is also very gentle and considerate, knows how to advance and retreat, and gets along well with other people.

very good.

Even Liu Laoliu and Liu Wang, who were relatively hostile to her at first, saw Xiu'er's beauty and were afraid that Xiu'er would compete with Lan'er for favor. However, after this period of time passed, they also changed their attitude towards her and took the initiative to tell her.

Her kind words.

So Yu Xiaotian also likes Xiu'er very much now, but since he married Lan'er, in order to take care of Lan'er's mood, when he was on the island, he mostly stayed at Lan'er's place and rarely stayed at Xiu'er's place.

In fact, he also understood very well that Xiu'er also wanted to be favored by him. He didn't rest. Xiu'er was actually the same as Lan'er. She accompanied Lan'er every day, waiting for him to come back, silently waiting for him to wash up, and then closed the door and left.

If you go, you will definitely feel uncomfortable inside.

So he sighed slightly, touched Lan'er's little face, smiled, and said to Lan'er: "In that case, fine! You have a good rest! Don't touch cold water or ice porridge these days.

Don’t eat any more! It’s easy to harm your health!”

Lan'er gave Yu Xiaotian a playful smile, stuck out her tongue and agreed, and winked at Xiu'er who was standing behind Yu Xiaotian.

Xiu'er immediately blushed, but her face still showed a look of joy...

(Today I saw another reward from my old friend Huluhulu! Of course I have to say thank you! Haha!)
