Daming pirates

In addition to starting mass production of flintlock rifles with his blacksmiths, Blacksmith Zhang also gave Yu Xiaotian a surprise. That is, the short flintlock rifle that Yu Xiaotian had always wanted was now trial-produced by Blacksmith Zhang and the others.

came out, and this flintlock short gun was directly made into a double barrel according to Yu Xiaotian's requirements.

Yu Xiaotian was so happy now that he grinned happily while holding this short blunderbuss. Compared with ordinary swords, this guy is a better self-defense weapon.

You can be in the firing state at any time, fight with the enemy on the ship at close range, and fire at random. Even if the opponent is a ten thousand enemy, you will still be beaten to death.

As soon as he saw this somewhat clumsy short gun, Yu Xiaotian immediately took it and ran outside to find a random target to try his hand on. He only heard two roars of "dong dong" and the recoil of the short gun made his wrists tremble.

Damn, I almost lost my hand and fell to the ground.

The first short gun made by Zhang Blacksmith, the caliber is about 15 mm, so the charge is large, making this thing very powerful. A piece of wood about 10 inches thick can be directly penetrated ten steps away.

, it’s just that this guy is a bit bulky. Firstly, it is not convenient to hang around the waist. In addition, the weight is too heavy when held with one hand, and the recoil is too great. If the user’s wrist strength is insufficient, it is likely to

When he caught fire, he was so shocked that he dropped his gun.

So Yu Xiaotian put the short blunderbuss in his bag and told Blacksmith Zhang that this thing was still a bit too big, and he requested that it be made shorter, more compact, and more refined. It could be inserted into the waist, and it would be easier to carry and fire.

The organization should also try its best to be as delicate and meticulous as possible to increase the rate of fire.

After all, a short gun is no better than a long gun. It fires at close range. If the fire rate is too low and the fire is blind, it will cost people's lives. This is why he asked for this short gun to be made with double barrels.

An insurance policy means that if a shot fails, at least there is still one chance.

Moreover, when a short gun is fired at close range, it does not need a large caliber. The barrel can be made thinner, which can not only reduce the weight, but also ensure sufficient lethality when shooting at short distances.

Blacksmith Zhang was very happy to see that Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the short musket he had made this time. He immediately agreed and said that he would do as Yu Xiaotian said immediately.

As a result, within a month, Blacksmith Zhang took out a short blunderbuss that looked much more sophisticated and gave it to Yu Xiaotian for trial use. According to Yu Xiaotian's request, the caliber of this short blunderbuss was reduced to

About eight millimeters, although the power has been reduced, it has become much shorter and lighter. The flintlock mechanism has also been reduced a lot, but the machine spring has been thickened on the contrary, making the hammer stronger when firing.

It's a little stronger, so the firing rate of the fusilier mechanism will be a little higher.

Yu Xiaotian fell in love with this new gun even more. He tried firing it many times and found that the recoil, accuracy and weight could basically meet his requirements, so he immediately took the short gun into his bag again and became his

The first official privately owned firearm.

However, this short gun cannot be said to be without some faults. Because the spring part is thickened and strengthened, the trigger of the gun is a bit heavy, and it is a bit laborious to pull it with your finger. This affects the shooting accuracy. The user

You may pull the trigger hard and at the same time, pull the muzzle downward to make the bullet shoot lower.

But for Yu Xiaotian, this shortcoming is still acceptable to him. After all, under normal circumstances, users will only pull out this thing and fire when they have no choice. At that time, the enemy must be very close, even if it is

Even if the projectile fired is slightly lower, it can basically guarantee that the target will be shot, and this accuracy can still be guaranteed.

Generally speaking, the effective range of this kind of short gun is only about ten meters to more than twenty meters, and it cannot even reach the effective range of the three-eyed gun. After this distance, not only the accuracy becomes very poor, but the power is also greatly reduced.

If it is weakened, it may not be able to penetrate even if you wear slightly thicker clothes. However, as a short gun, this flaw is not a big problem. The key is to be able to shoot loudly. If you surprise the enemy, the big Luo Shenxian will probably

Everyone will also be tricked.

After getting the short gun, Yu Xiaotian asked the gun maker to start producing this short gun while producing the standard long gun. Initially, he used it to equip his captains and leaders as personal weapons. The next step is to increase the production.

After that, a large number of equipment can be given to the sailors for use on the ship. When fighting on the side of the ship, imagine that a group of people took out a row of double-barreled short guns and fired a volley at the enemies on the enemy's ship, anticipating the next move to seize the side of the ship.

The battle will be much easier to fight.

In addition to these things, Yu Xiaotian also encountered an unexpected thing in the past few months.

That was at the beginning of July, Cyclops and Liu Yidao, who had always maintained a good relationship with Sea Wolf, suddenly came to Nanyue Island with their men and ships and asked to see Yu Xiaotian, saying that they had something important to do.

talk over.

Yu Xiaotian summoned them immediately, but unexpectedly, the two of them proposed something to Yu Xiaotian that Yu Xiaotian had never thought of.

The two of them didn't know what was wrong, but they actually proposed that they were willing to take their men and join the Sea Wolf, and from then on they were willing to obey orders under Yu Xiaotian's tent.

At that time, Yu Xiaotian felt a little dizzy. So far, he has not felt that his bastard energy has reached the point where he can raise his arms and make countless brothers bow down!

Although he has now begun to explode equipment, weapons, and industries, he has not yet felt that he can make people look out for him.

But today, these two people suddenly proposed that they would lead their men into his tent and obey his orders. There must be something wrong with this matter. They would either annihilate or steal for nothing! Could it be that these two guys want to

What's going on?

Based on this idea, Yu Xiaotian quickly stopped the two people's conversation, waved his hands and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! You two! What happened today? Why did you bring up this matter so well and suddenly?

Could it be that someone under Yu has recently forced you? Or have you run into some trouble and need my help?

If that's the case, tell me who did it, or who wants to make trouble with you, and see if I don't chop him up and feed him to the fish!"

Liu Yidao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not true! The brothers of Sea Wolf and us brothers have a good relationship, and no one bullies us! We haven't encountered any trouble!"

The one-eyed dragon also nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiaotian didn't understand at this point, and asked Liu Yidao and Du Yanlong: "If that's not the case, then why did you two come to me to raise this matter if you let your boss do nothing?"

After Liu Yidao and One-Eyed Dragon looked at each other, they shook their heads again and said with a bitter smile: "It's not that we are full because we are full. In fact, for more than a year, we guys have been living a very comfortable life!

Now, Mr. Yu controls the entire sea area around Fuzhou. No one on the passing merchant ships knows how powerful Sea Wolf is. Mr. Yu collects their passing shipping fees, and we also reap a lot of benefits!

In addition, you have successively dealt with those small groups of colleagues and calmed the sea within hundreds of miles around. The sea has been very calm during this period of time!

But just like that, we guys are almost out of work! Wandering around the sea, almost all the ships we encounter have paid the passage fee for you, so we can only let them pass with our hands raised.

It's been months since we've done anything decent! At first, several of our colleagues complained about this, but looking back, Master Yu didn't treat us badly, and he gave us what we deserved.

I can’t blame you for being the boss!

However, the brothers and sisters of us people can't live without leisure. If we wander around like this every day, eating and waiting to die, we will inevitably have a lot of troubles.

And they all know that Mr. Yu treats his brothers with great generosity, and they eat well, wear well, and use good things! But we can't compare with you, Mr. Yu! How can we give our brothers such a life?

!

No one dares to compare, and I have never done anything like this! These days, many of my subordinates are restless, and some of them are secretly discussing that it would be better to simply switch to working for the master!

Some brothers have run away secretly a few days ago. Although I don't know if they came to Nanyue Island, I guess they are close to each other!

Originally, Brother Dulong (a respectful name for one-eyed dragon) and I were very angry because of this. We felt that the boss was responsible for this matter. How could anyone do such a thing? Are we allowed to hang around?

Originally, because of this, I, Liu, even thought that if it didn’t work out, I wouldn’t hang out here in Fuzhou, and I would simply take my brothers south and bring them down in Quanzhou!

But later I met Brother Dulong and talked about this matter. I didn’t expect that Brother Dulong was the same as me. The brothers under his command were unstable. So I advised Brother Dulong that if that didn’t work, just go south with me and bring him down!

However, Brother Dulong advised me that it would be difficult for those of us to make a living if we went to the south. There were many colleagues there, including more than a dozen large-stock companies. I am afraid it would be difficult for me to get a foothold in the country!

Instead of going there, we might as well just vote for the boss! I think so! I think we all came out together and hung out in the Fuzhou area!

However, in the past two years, I have seen how the boss, General Hailang, has managed the business, but we still have the same behavior. I can’t help but accept it!

Now look at the brothers who followed Master Yu back then. None of them were better than us before, but now they are still obeying orders from Master Yu, and they are doing very well. Third brother Wang, Fang Wu, they can now do it.

If Mr. Yu is working with all his heart, what can we not be ashamed of?

Instead of waiting to break up, it would be better to bring the brothers here to join the boss now, so I hope the boss will accept me because of the good relationship we have had with each other!"

Liu Yidao told Xiaotian exactly what happened.
