Daming pirates

Suddenly, Mr. Chu Cai gathered his followers on Dongshan Island. The news soon spread in Chaozhou Prefecture. After hearing this, the government officials became extremely nervous and quickly sent people to Guangzhou to inform the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi. At the same time, they ordered surrounding prefectures and counties to strengthen their vigilance.

, the coastal area must be prepared to defend against enemies and prevent Boss Chu Cai from attacking.

But this time the government was nervous for nothing, because Chu Cai Lao had no intention of attacking the coastal areas of Guangdong this time, but instead targeted the sea wolves on Nanyue Island hundreds of miles away from them in the north.

The entire Dongshan Island is as lively as a boiling pot. Water boats are constantly going back and forth between the shore and the bay, replenishing the water tanks of each boat with fresh water. In addition, there are also boats docking and taking turns to replenish food on board.

Because the distance from Dongshan Island to Nanyue Island is hundreds of miles, even if you sail at full speed with a favorable wind, it will take at least two or three days. What's more, these ships are of different shapes, some are fast, some are slow, in order to communicate with each other.

With cooperation, they can only sail at the slowest speed, so it will take longer to reach Nanyue Island. According to the plan, they can reach Nanyue Island in four days.

So these days, these guys can only live on the boat, and in order to catch Nanyue Island off guard, Mr. Chu Cai ordered them to bypass the main channel along the way and go north from the waters far away from the shore, and no longer do anything on the way.

Any stopover and replenishment are entirely dependent on the food and fresh water carried on board to sustain the needs of the people on board.

Therefore, these guys had to complete these preparations on Dongshan Island before setting off, which cost the big shopkeeper Chu Cai a lot of money. There were too many ships coming, and each ship had to add some food.

The quantity was really quite large, and he used up 30 to 40% of the grain he had prepared in advance.

However, Mr. Chu Cai is now full of confidence and in a good mood. He thinks that this effort is worth it. As long as he takes Nanyue Island, the reward will be dozens or even hundreds of times. As the big shopkeeper, he will organize this time

Naturally, he has to take the bulk of the action. When the time comes, let alone this little food, he won't care no matter how much it is.

But what Chu Cai Lao didn't know was that when he ordered the assembly, there were sea wolves not far away from Dongshan Island, whose eyes were constantly staring at Dongshan Island, and there were also several small fishing boats fishing near Dongshan Island.

Yu, secretly kept recording Chu Cailao's ships coming from all over the place, and then summed up the numbers, and found that a speedboat quickly raised its sails and headed north.

Yu Xiaotian was in the Wolf Cave stronghold. After listening to the news reported by his subordinates, he sneered and waved his hands: "Okay! I understand. You have taken a big risk and have worked hard. Go down and do your best.

Take a rest and then go to the execution hall to receive the reward!"

After hearing this, the men who were sent to monitor Mr. Chu Cai immediately bowed and said: "I am willing to die for the master!"

Yu Xiaotian laughed and said: "I know your loyalty, but I want you to live a long life with me. Don't risk death at every turn. Work hard. Our good days are ahead!"

The subordinate bared his teeth and smiled. The reason why these people are willing to sacrifice their lives for Yu Xiaotian is because Yu Xiaotian treats them like brothers. Although he is strict, he always knows how to take care of them. Most of the time, they follow Yu Xiaotian in their hearts.

It was a pleasure, so after thanking him, he turned around and retreated.

After the person who reported the news went out, Yu Xiaotian's face began to change from sunny to gloomy, and he said to Liu Wang: "Invite my father-in-law, Li Dazui, Meng Fei, Liu Yidao and the people from the council to discuss the matter!

"

Not long after, the people who were named quickly walked into the meeting hall from outside. After paying homage to Yu Xiaotian, they took their seats in order of priority.

When he saw that all the people who were coming had arrived, Yu Xiaotian said to everyone: "I invite you all to come over today for two things. The first is to introduce a new brother to you!

This is Mr. Lin Yiyanglin, a very talented person! He was hired by a certain person and will stay here and work with you from now on!

Mr. Lin will temporarily follow me as a staff officer. As the name suggests, Mr. Lin is a consultant and planner! There is nothing we need to hide from Mr. Lin here. I hope you can respect Mr. Lin in the future and don’t look down upon Mr. Lin because he is a latecomer.

To him!

To be honest, Mr. Lin is the one who gave us some advice in this matter, so that we can lure Old Chu Cai’s poisonous snake out of his hole. Otherwise, we don’t know how long we will be harassed by Mr. Chu Cai!

Mr. Lin, these are..."

Yu Xiaotian first introduced Lin Yiyang, who was sitting next to him, to the people who came today. After he met Lin Yiyang, Lin Yiyang talked with him for a long night and helped him come up with the idea of ​​luring the snake out of its hole.

These days, while making arrangements according to Lin Yiyang's plan, Yu Xiaotian sent Liu Wang to accompany Lin Yiyang around Nanyue Island on his behalf, and told Liu Wang and Lin Yiyang that wherever Lin wanted to see, they could go there.

Take him with you, there is no place you can't go except his back house!

Just tell Lin Yiyang what you want to know and let Lin Yiyang look around as he pleases. Don't treat him as an outsider.

Lin Yiyang was very happy. Accompanied by Liu Wang, he spent many days wandering around Nanyue Island and learned about all the places he could not see and things he could not ask about before.

Especially when he saw the large tracts of farmland that appeared on Nanyue Island, as well as the well-managed immigrant villages and fishing villages, and after talking in detail with the islanders living here, Lin Yiyang had a deep understanding of Xiaotian.

It can be said that I admire him even more.

Because after reading this, Lin Yiyang felt that the rumors were indeed true. Although Yu Xiaotian was a pirate, he acted in the right way, which was completely different from the ordinary pirates. He understood the suffering of the people better, so he treated the island

The people were very kind

, and more importantly, through Nanyue Island, he could see that Yu Xiaotian had a very big heart. He didn't seem to be just satisfied with being a pirate. It seemed that from this aspect, he felt what Yu Xiaotian wanted.

Much more than what you have got now!

Then Lin Yiyang's mind began to get excited, and then, accompanied by Liu Wang, he went to see Sea Wolf's boathouse on the island, as well as various forts and fortifications in the workshop area and Dazhai.

When he saw the newly cast cannons placed in the artillery work, Lin Yiyang was completely shocked. Cannons can be found in prefectures, counties, and even some villages and towns, but what Lin Yiyang had seen

The cannons are all short and small old-style cannons.

Once again, he saw a red cannon on the city wall of Fuzhou City. The defenders of Fuzhou City regarded the red cannon as a treasure and had special personnel to guard it and not let anyone get close to it.

But today, when he saw the scale of Hailang's artillery work and the cannons that were made, he recognized at a glance that these cannons were the best red barbarian cannons at the moment. Although these red barbarian cannons were a bit small, But there are also two heavy cannons similar to the red cannon on the Fuzhou city wall.

For people who rarely come into contact with such things, when such a sharp cannon suddenly appears in front of them, the psychological impact is not something that modern people can feel. Lin Yiyang was stunned at the time.

Looking at these cannons, he was stunned for a while, and then he tremblingly tried to reach out and touch the polished smooth barrels.

When he saw Lin Yiyang wanting to touch but not daring to touch them, Liu Wang smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, just touch them, and don't touch them if you touch them. We have so many of them now, and you haven't done it yet." That's the biggest gun I've ever seen! That big gun is almost as thick as our waists. When it fires, the sky is really shaking and the earth is shaking, making my liver tremble!"

Lin Yiyang reached out and touched the barrel of a six-pound cannon. He carefully observed these cannons and found that these cannons were as if they were cast from the same mold. They were uniform in shape, smooth on the surface, and without any trachoma or bubbles. It was very sophisticated. He lay down at the muzzle and looked at it. It was dark inside, but from the muzzle he could see that the barrel was polished very smoothly. This was something he had never seen before.

So Lin Yiyang asked Liu Wang: "Brother Liu! Are these cannons really made by you Sea Wolf yourself?"

Liu Wang's face was full of pride, and he nodded and said: "Mr. Lin, please come inside and take a look. This cannon was made by our boss himself. It is extremely powerful, and it has a rear sight and a front sight. It can be fired easily." It is extremely accurate! It can also hit very far, it can hit five miles away! Even the Hongyi cannon made in Foshan, Guangdong is not as good as the one we made ourselves! This is not just a boast!"

Lin Yiyang quickly followed Liu Wang into the work shed where the artillery work was carried out. Inside the work shed, a wave of heat hit his face. A large group of craftsmen were busy working on the artillery work. Several iron furnaces started working at the same time, melting the input iron materials, and then From the tap below, the melted molten iron slowly flows out with high heat, and is received by craftsmen into the large crucible. The large crucible is now placed on a one-wheeled trolley. The trolley is also made of iron, and one person can do it. push.

These crucibles filled with molten iron are pushed onto a shelf, and poured into a mold that is erected and buried in a pit from a port for pouring molten iron. This is the general process.

Lin Yiyang had learned a little bit about casting from books. After looking at it carefully, he didn't find that it was iron mold casting. He just knew a little about the casting process here. Now he completely believes that these cannons are made by Sea Wolf. The hands of these craftsmen.

This time Lin Yiyang was convinced. Because he couldn't stand the high temperature here, he quickly exited the work shed. When he came outside, he praised him endlessly. Now he finally understood why Yu Xiaotian dared to provoke Chu Cai Lao. He had this in his hand. A sharp weapon, although Chu Cai Lao has a large number of people, what can he do to him?
