Daming pirates
Chapter 23: You get what you pay for
Fortunately, they didn't do this. Otherwise, let alone contending with Zheng Yiguan now, as long as they attacked Sea Wolf at that time, with Sea Wolf's strength, they would have been defeated, and they would not even be able to settle down now.
I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in Bengang any longer, and their final fate will probably be much worse than that of Mr. Chu Cai.
When he thought of this, Chen Xun made up his mind that he would never be an enemy of Sea Wolf in the future. They had guns and cannons, and they made them by themselves. Their craftsmanship was so exquisite, and their subordinates were so powerful. People would not look for them.
The trouble has already been burned, how dare they bring trouble to others again!
After going back this time, he would talk about what he saw and heard this time and tell the brothers that he could only be friends with Sea Wolf in the future, and he could never be their enemy. Otherwise, he would definitely end up with nothing.
The end point.
"Brother Chen, are you satisfied with this kind of cannon? Do you still think it's too expensive?" Yu Xiaotian asked Chen Xun with a slightly proud smile.
Chen Xun quickly turned around, cupped his fists and bowed to Xiaotian, and said with a smile on his face: "What a cannon! It's really a good cannon! It's far beyond my expectations! This kind of cannon is really good! The price is fair.
!It is indeed fair!”
Yu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "That's very good. Let's go and see how the rest of the things look like! Then we'll talk..."
Chen Xun then followed Yu Xiaotian to the small island that was used as a shooting range by Sea Wolf. The island had a small pier that could accommodate two or three boats. However, a human boom was erected on the pier to facilitate unloading to the island.
goods.
In the past six months, the artillery production company has opened several sets of gun models. These gun models are all used to produce monkey version artillery for Sea Wolf's future arms business, and one or two sample guns have been trial-produced and shipped to the island.
After testing the gun and feeling it was OK, it was stored in the island shooting range.
Yu Xiaotian also asked Chen Xun to view the samples of two old-fashioned tiger crouching cannons and prisoner-killing cannons that had been cast before, as well as a sample of a matchlock gun. After Chen Xun looked at it, he was very happy, although
This kind of tiger squatting cannon and prisoner-killing cannon are nothing new, but he can see that the workmanship of these cannons is better than those made by some black workshops on land.
Those cannons of the same type are much better, and there is no comparison in terms of craftsmanship (that is! Cannons cast in iron molds are inherently safer. Even if they are not polished, the surface and bore are better than those cast in clay molds.
It is much smoother, and the barrel can be used directly without boring. The process is extremely simple, but the quality is quite good).
As for that kind of matchlock gun, in terms of workmanship and power, it is no worse than the gun made by black workshops on land, and its power and range are good.
So Chen Xun had nothing to worry about anymore. Even if he had money, he had nowhere to buy a gun of this quality. Although the price was not cheap, he could only agree to the price offered by Sea Wolf, so on the spot
The deal was finalized. The total value of these weapons was 42,800 taels of silver. Yu Xiaotian finally looked at Yan Siqi's face and gave him a discount, getting rid of 2,800 taels of silver.
Two pieces of silver made Chen Xun even more happy.
In addition to these, Yu Xiaotian also offered to provide these cannons with five shells and five gunpowders for each gun, and twenty rounds of ammunition for the matchlock guns. They were considered gifts from the sale. If Yan Siqi still wanted
If so, then the accounts will be settled separately.
When Chen Xun came to Nanyue Island this time, he originally brought five thousand taels of silver. He planned to keep the money as a deposit once the deal was concluded. After the deal was concluded, he immediately ordered someone to
The five thousand taels of silver were unloaded on the shore and handed over to the Sea Wolf Council.
Yu Xiaotian was also very generous. He directly gave Chen Xun a No. 3 cannon, a squatting tiger cannon, a prisoner-killing cannon, and two matchlock guns as samples for Chen Xun to take back to Yan Siqi first.
Chen Xun happily led his men and immediately loaded up these guys. Without stopping for a moment, he left Nanyue Island and hurried back to their side.
Yan Siqi has been sitting in the city of Chou these days, worrying about Zheng Yiguan's affairs. He originally valued Zheng Yiguan very highly and was determined to cultivate Zheng Yiguan. In the future, Zheng Yiguan would be his second in command and become his
Deputy.
But unexpectedly, Li Dan suddenly died suddenly, allowing Zheng Yiguan to take over his duties. Zheng Yiguan's strength suddenly increased, surpassing his strength.
It turned out that he was very happy about this, thinking that with the power brought by Zheng Yiguan, his strength would instantly rise to the level of a super boss in the sea. However, he soon discovered that he was happy too early.
After Zheng Yiguan took Li Dan's plate, his attitude immediately changed a lot from before. He suddenly no longer took him seriously and acted arrogantly.
Only then did Yan Siqi realize what it meant to have a big tail. As his strength grew, Zheng Yiguan was no longer someone he could control.
No boss wants to see the strength of his subordinates exceed his own strength. Although Yan Siqi is a hero, he is also a human being. He knows very well what consequences this will bring, so he is more careful with Zheng Yiguan.
Next, Zheng Yiguan's men began to act a little recklessly when he was here. They did not listen to his orders and only listened to Zheng Yiguan's orders. When they went out to do things, including Zheng Yiguan, they no longer followed Yan Siqi.
Say hello, and no longer listen to Yan Siqi's orders. Although Zheng Yiguan did not break up with Yan Siqi, he started to violate his words and acted on his own without being restricted by Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi was angry about this, but because he was afraid of Zheng Yiguan's strength, he did not dare to fall out with Zheng Yiguan easily. For him, these days were like years, and he still had to maintain peace on the surface.
Yan Siqi was very unhappy with Zheng Yiguan's harmony and had to drink every night to drown his sorrows.
Later, he realized that this was not the way to go. Zheng Yiguan was secretly dividing his power. Some of his subordinates had begun to turn to Zheng Yiguan. Secretly, some people had begun to clamor for Zheng Yiguan to be the boss and replace him.
He is the boss.
The boss who steps down at any time will basically not end well. Yan Siqi understands this better than anyone, so he must hurry up and stabilize his men before this happens. Even if he cannot kill Zheng Yiguan, he must
Only by forcing Zheng Yiguan away.
But he is not strong enough. No matter what he does, he cannot easily solve the problem of Zheng Yiguan. Zheng Yiguan is now gearing up to prepare for a big fight. He implicitly regards this place as his rear base and begins to try to go to the coastal areas of Fujian.
Grab a new piece of land to make his fortune.
After thinking about it, Yan Siqi and several of his close associates finally came up with the idea of asking for help. He must improve his own strength within a short period of time, and also find an ally to deal with Zheng Yiguan with him.
.
After much discussion, Yan Siqi finally chose Yu Xiaotian, because at present, only Yu Xiaotian in the world could help him and stabilize his position.
The reason is very simple. Yu Xiaotian is now extremely powerful in the coastal areas of Fujian. Chu Cai can only stay three feet away from him. Although Zheng Yiguan's strength has increased sharply, he may not be able to easily defeat him in a short period of time.
Lost Xiaotian's position on the coast of Fujian.
Moreover, it is said that Yu Xiaotian can make his own muskets and forge cannons. He is in urgent need of these things to arm his close men. He cannot suppress Zheng Yiguan by recruiting manpower alone. He can only quickly strengthen his close men.
Only with his own strength can he gain the strength to fight against Zheng Yiguan.
And in this regard, no one can replace Yu Xiaotian to help him. Although he is wary of Xiaotian and has thought about cooperating with Mr. Chu Cai before, but where is the situation of Mr. Chu Cai? This old guy has not been around since
After being disgraced by Sea Wolf last time, I spent this time running around trying to get more cannons and muskets, and even tried to imitate Sea Wolf and make my own cannons, but I never got anything, and the money was
It cost a lot.
So Yan Siqi finally chose Yu Xiaotian. After private discussions with several close brothers, he sent Chen Xun to Nanyue Island. After sending Chen Xun away, Yan Siqi has been waiting anxiously for news about Chen Xun.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, Chen Xun happily took the boat back to Bengang, quietly returned to the village, and reported to Yan Siqi with excitement: "Brother! The matter is done!"
Yan Siqi immediately stepped back and asked Chen Xun nervously: "Is the matter settled? Didn't Yu Xiaotian make things difficult for you?"
Chen Xun then immediately told Yan Siqi in detail about his trip to Nanyue Island, and also told Yan Siqi the situation of the batch of arms that the two parties had agreed upon.
When Yan Siqi heard the price, he first took a deep breath, then pulled out a few black lines on his forehead, and said to Chen Xun unhappily: "The price this guy named Yu offered us is too expensive!
What kind of cannon costs one or two thousand taels of silver? A gun actually costs forty taels of silver! Isn’t this Yu Xiaotian taking advantage of the situation?"
Chen Xun quickly explained with a smile on his face: "You can't say that! You get what you pay for! Although the price is indeed not low, it is really worth the money! The main reason is that the boss has never seen their stuff!
This time I went to see their power with my own eyes. This creation is beyond words! It’s so beautiful!”
At this moment, Yan Siqi only cared about the pain in his flesh, and said angrily: "What's the use of being pretty? Don't be a show-off, look good but not useful, wouldn't we just waste all our money?"
Chen Xun quickly shook his head and said: "It's definitely not a fake. The light red Yi cannon in this list is what they are currently using. This is quite a face to the leader! He ordered these twenty cannons
It was taken directly from their ship and given to us!
He said that he might not be able to build so many cannons for us in a short period of time, but seeing that I was in a hurry, he simply removed the cannons in use from their ship and gave them to us!
In addition, they tried firing these types of cannons in front of me. Except for the big red barbarian cannon, I have seen all the other cannons with my own eyes. The craftsmen of Sea Wolf are exquisite in craftsmanship. There is really no choice in the casting of this cannon.
!There is no flaw in the whole body, which is definitely not something that those land-based craftsmen can do!
And when I came back, except for the big red barbarian cannon, I brought back one piece of everything, which is now on the boat. After dark, I will send someone to unload these things. Big brother will know then The money was not wasted!”
