Daming pirates

After Yu Xiaotian sent Chen Xun away, he immediately sent people to summon Zhao Hai (Zhao Mazi), Li Fu (Li Gouzi) and Liu Laoliu and other elders to discuss the matter. In addition, Lin Yiyang was also summoned to talk about this matter.

thing.

When everyone came over and listened to Yu Xiaotian's explanation of the purpose of Chen Xun's trip, everyone also felt a little troubled. Originally, the brains of the Sea Wolf were quite dissatisfied with Yan Siqi recently for many reasons.

To put it simply, Yan Siqi plotted against Sea Wolf behind his back and significantly reduced the transaction between Lai Nanyue Island and Maoshengyuan, which caused the council to lose a lot of revenue. Therefore, now that they learned that Yan Siqi was forced into a state of embarrassment by Zheng Yiguan, they felt a little bit.

Deserve it.

These people also had their own ideas about whether they should help Yan Siqi. Zhao Mazi didn't want to get involved, but Li Gouzi thought this was an opportunity to make money. Liu Laoliu didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and rested because he thought Yu Xiaotian

He must have already thought about how to deal with this matter. He has no need to express his opinions on such matters.

Lin Yiyang, on the other hand, looked like an old god was here. He had told Yu Xiaotian what he needed to say before. Yu Xiaotian asked him to come over today just to give him face, so Yu Xiaotian let Yu Xiaotian say this himself.

Just fine.

Seeing that Zhao Mazi, Ma Xiao and Li Dazui were all reluctant, Yu Xiaotian said: "Don't be unhappy! I think Yan Siqi is a white-eyed wolf, but if it were me, there would be a tiger lying on the side of the bed.

, I won’t feel comfortable either. Although Yan Siqi has been alienated from me recently, he has not conflicted with us. This is already good!

The most important thing is that the current rise of Zheng Yiguan is not a good thing for us. If we let him occupy Bengang, then we will become Zheng Yiguan's enemies in the next step.

Zheng Yiguan should not be underestimated. He is a very well-established man. Despite his young age, he is very ruthless in his actions! Moreover, he has many contacts, including red-haired people and Folangji people.

After Li Dan's plate, his strength cannot be underestimated, and I am afraid he will become our strong enemy in the future!

Therefore, Yan Siqi cannot fall. As long as Yan Siqi does not fall, Zheng Yiguan will be restrained. On the surface, Zheng Yiguan is still his brother, Yan Siqi. As long as Yan Siqi is around, he cannot easily turn around and deal with us.

And Yan Siqi is currently weaker than Zheng Yiguan, and if he is not careful, he may be backlashed by Zheng Yiguan. Once Yan Siqi falls, Zheng Yiguan will be able to let his hands and feet go wild. Although we are not necessarily afraid of him, but out of thin air

Having such a strong enemy is not always a good thing for us!

Therefore, this time I decided to help Yan Siqi!

But how to help with this, we have to make another plan! It is definitely not possible to give them the cannons we have now. I have told you before that we can do this arms business, as long as we sell them to them

Nothing can be better than ours!

So we have to work with artillery and guns to find a way to get a batch of monkey version of cannons as soon as possible and give them to them for use. Moreover, even if these cannons are given to them, they cannot easily imitate them with their abilities!

This forged cannon is not as simple as making a clay figure, it is very deep inside! Otherwise, the government would have imitated Western cannons in large numbers! When you, Ma Xiao, bombarded Puxi City this time, you probably knew that the government and the army were also now

They are equipped with red cannons, but I have seen the details of the red cannons they made. They are stupid and stupid. They are not good things at all, they are just fake!

So you don’t have to worry about this!”

After listening to this, Ma Xiao and Li Dazui understood that what Yu Xiaotian said was reasonable. Now is indeed not the time for Yan Siqi to fall. Once Yan Siqi falls, Zheng Yiguan will become even more arrogant and will soon be free to fight with them.

The wolves are taking over territory.

But if so many cannons are provided to Yan Siqi at once, I am afraid that the artillery maker will immediately stop casting cannons for Sea Wolf and go all out to complete the order. This is not a good thing for Sea Wolf.

So they expressed their concerns, saying that even if they helped Yan Siqi, the speed at which Sea Wolf could equip new cannons would not slow down too much.

Including Zhao Mazi also nodded in agreement with their opinions and said: "What the boss said makes sense, and it's okay to help him. But now if the artillery makers stop and cast cannons specifically for them, it will also have an impact on us.

, it’s better to give them less, and sell them some face to bring them down!”

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian lowered his head and thought about it and shook his head: "No, even if you give them less, the quantity cannot be too small! If Pao Zuo cannot provide them with many monkey-version cannons in a short period of time, then yes

First, give them a batch of No. 3 guns (six-pound guns) that have been used for some time in the fleet!..."

"How can this happen? The number of No. 3 guns on our ships is just enough. Some new ships don't even have No. 3 guns. How can we allocate them to them? This is absolutely not possible! Boss, you can't be confused! This is

But we are the ones eating!" Ma Xiao jumped up when he heard this. He didn't care about Xiaotian's face anymore and shouted with a red face. He just rushed over and hugged Yu Xiaotian's legs, begging Yu Xiaotian to say goodbye.

Do this.

Yu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Ma Xiao, don't be anxious! I understand your thoughts. Before I did this, I could guess that your navy would definitely quit!

But let me ask you, if you use No. 5C (a new 12-pound light howitzer, called a 12-pound mountain howitzer by soldiers) to replace the No. 3 gun, do you think you would rather have the No. 5 C or the No. 3 gun?

?”

Ma Xiao blinked his eyes and immediately replied: "Of course it's No. 5C! Although the No. 3 cannon can hit farther and more accurately, the shells are a bit smaller and not powerful enough. Sometimes dozens of cannons can't even sink a single shot.

For big ships, No. 5C is more powerful, although it doesn’t count as much.

It's far, but it's still much further away than the junk that ordinary people use, and it's also very powerful. At most, a dozen cannons can sink a large ship worth two to three hundred materials. If you use shotguns at close range, it's as powerful as an iron broom.

, if I had to choose, of course I would choose No. 5C!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and smiled: "That's right! Although the No. 3 gun is good, it was our pioneering work after all, and its power was a bit too small. Now we already have the No. 4 gun (an eight-pounder, but because of the power ratio

The increase in the six-pounder gun is not much. In the six-pounder

In the case of a large number of guns, the eight-pounder gun has never been put into mass production. It is only used as a reserve. The gun model is temporarily opened and it is waiting for one day to be put into production.) Now this No. 5 C gun has been produced.

, this No. 3 gun has become our useless weapon!

In the future, we will use No. 5C to replace most of the No. 3 guns on our ship. Instead of smashing these No. 3 guns and recycling them, it would be more appropriate to sell them and exchange them for nothing!

As for the small cannon they want, I think they can just give them the old squatting tiger cannon. Of course, the new squatting tiger cannon will not be given to them! In this way, the artillery production side will continue to cast No. 5C, and your ship will be destroyed.

Replace the No. 3 cannon of the team and give it to them! Is it possible that you are even afraid of the No. 3 cannon?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiao immediately had no objection. He replaced one of the No. 5 C guns in their fleet with No. 5 C guns and eliminated part of the No. 3 guns from the fleet. Not only would it not weaken their firepower, it would also increase their firepower.

Big increase, this is a good deal, so naturally he doesn't fart, and he farts happily.

As for Li Dazui's battle camp, it was not equipped with the No. 3 cannon. Whether or not to buy it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, now that he had mountain grenades like the No. 5 C, he no longer looked down upon the No. 3 cannon. It weighed two tons.

They were almost the same, but there was a big difference in power. At most, the No. 3 cannon could only force the No. 5-C to have slightly better range and accuracy, but he would rather have the No. 5-C than the No. 3 cannon.

Therefore, no one objected to Yu Xiaotian's idea of ​​phasing out a batch of No. 3 cannons and selling them to Yan Siqi. What's more, the No. 3 cannons to be sold to Yan Siqi this time were all cast in the earliest batches.

Now after repeated use, it has become old. Even if it is given to Yan Siqi, it is not a cause for concern.

As for the small cannons that Yan Siqi asked for, they actually refer to those small cannons, prisoner-killing cannons, squatting tiger cannons and the like that weigh no more than a hundred kilograms and are only as powerful as a one-pound cannon.

After mastering the iron cannon casting method, casting it again is a piece of cake, it doesn't take up much resources, and it can earn a lot of money. Of course, the Business Council is willing to do it.

So the matter of cannons was settled, but the number was temporarily reduced to twenty three-pound cannons, and a total of thirty tiger squat cannons and imitation captive cannons. Yan Siqi could not give him as many as he wanted.

There is always a feeling that Sea Wolf itself does not have enough, and this is squeezed out for them just to save face.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian considered that in order to enhance Yan Siqi's strength, the six-pounder cannon and the tiger crouching cannon alone would definitely not be enough for Yan Siqi to fight against Zheng Yiguan, so he made a special exception and made a five-door monkey version of the No. 5 short gun for Yan Siqi.

The gun is the twelve-pound howitzer they used before, but they deliberately reduced the thickness of the gun wall and the amount of gunpowder. At the same time,

Instead of using the internal mold water-cooling casting method they have started to use, they deliberately added a few heavy iron hoops to the gun body, which reduced its power but also made it heavier than the Sea Wolf's own No. 5 gun.

The gun mount does not use the four-wheeled gun carriage and pulley group recoil buffer reset device commonly used by Seawolf at present, and directly uses a bulky fixed gun mount.

In this way, it would be more difficult for Yan Siqi to install these cannons on the ship. The best way is to install them in his stronghold and use them as cannons for defending the stronghold. Even if Yan Siqi turns around,

If you fall out with Sea Wolf, these cannons won't do much good.
