Daming pirates

Listening to Chen Xun's boastful description of the cannons given to them by Yu Xiaotian, Yan Siqi was a little doubtful and asked: "Can the cannons they cast be better than the craftsmanship of the Westerners?"

"It's worse than that! After my brother saw it, he knew I wasn't talking nonsense!" Chen Xun assured, slapping his chest loudly.

Yan Siqi felt much better now, but he couldn't believe it completely. Nowadays, no one knows that the cannons forged by the Taixi people are of the highest quality. Although it can now be confirmed that Sea Wolf is indeed capable of imitating the cannons of the Taixi people, there is no reason for them to

The cannons they can forge are better than the cannons forged by the Westerners.

He has sent people to inquire everywhere. Even the skilled craftsmen summoned by the government now, the cannons of the Taishi imitated in various places are far inferior to the cannons originally produced by the Taysi. Since Sea Wolf also imitates the cannons of the Taysi,

There is no reason why the craftsmanship can be better than that of the Thai people!

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still and asked Chen Xun: "When you came back, did anyone from the first official notice you?"

"No! Our ships come in and out every day, how could he focus on my ship? Besides, I covered these things tightly, and I didn't tell anyone what I was going to do when I went out this time.

, I just said that I was going to Zhangzhou to buy some things, and the brothers who were brought with me on the ship were also the most trustworthy brothers and would not leak the news!

When we come back this time, I have also warned the brothers who are on board that no one should get off the boat yet. Even if they get off the boat, they must go directly into the village. Even if Zheng Yiguan is suspicious, he can't find out what we are going to do this time.

.

By the way, eldest brother, when I came back this time, Master Yu also specifically asked me to remind eldest brother to be careful and not to give Zheng Yiguan a chance to prevent that guy from doing harm to eldest brother!"

Chen Xun said to Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi's eyes widened and he said angrily: "How dare he! After all, I am still the boss here, how dare he attack me?"

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst! What Master Yu said is right. This Zheng Yiguan is very ambitious, young and energetic. No one has seen him as such a person before, but now that he has grown up, he will soon

I don’t take my eldest brother seriously anymore, so it’s better for me to be careful!” Chen Xun continued to advise.

Yan Siqi suppressed his anger and nodded: "Okay! I will be careful! Don't worry, after all, this is our territory. Even if Zheng Yiguan wanted to completely break up with me, he would not dare for a while

Do it here!"

After it got dark, a group of people laboriously unloaded some heavy items from the ship on the pier. These items were all wrapped in oilcloth and could not be seen from the outside. After being unloaded from the ship, they were immediately transported to the big ship.

In the stronghold, he placed it directly in the compound where Yan Siqi lived. Yan Siqi's trusted men immediately guarded the compound.

Many lanterns and torches were lit in the courtyard, and many of Yan Siqi's cronies stood there. Everyone stared at these piles of things with excitement, and each of them showed a curious expression.

Chen Xun led a few people to remove the oilcloth wrapped around these items as if they were presenting treasures, revealing the crates inside. Someone handed over a crowbar, and they immediately opened the crates.

Only then did the contents inside appear.

Everyone immediately let out a soft exclamation, with a hint of surprise in the exclamation. Everyone shouted and surrounded them, reaching out their hands to these dark, cold iron guys.

"It's really a good guy! Beautiful! Really beautiful! God, how did they do it? This craftsmanship is really amazing. Even the cannons made by the red-haired people and the Folan robots are not as precise as this! Tsk tsk!"

Many people immediately praised him.

Yan Siqi's eyes were also shining with excitement. He walked through the crowd and walked to the six-pound cannon. Using the light of the lights in the yard, he looked at the cannon carefully, and then asked someone to pick up a lantern and get closer.

He looked carefully up and down, then stretched out his hand to touch the gun body carefully, and even used the light to look into the inside of the gun barrel, then reached in and touched the gun barrel with his fingers.

"Good! It's really beautiful! As Chen Xun said, this thing is worth the money! I can't imagine where Yu Xiaotian got such a skilled craftsman, and he can actually make this cannon so exquisite! It's amazing

Yeah!" Yan Siqi couldn't help but praise him.

After looking at the six-pound cannon, he then took a closer look at the squatting tiger cannon and the squatting cannon placed next to it. Although the appearance of these two cannons was similar to the squatting tiger cannon they had seen, the

There is not much difference between the cannons, but after careful observation, it can be seen that the two cannons are also very exquisitely cast.

From the appearance, these cannons are very smooth from top to bottom. No cracks or pores or other defects or burrs can be found. It seems that they have been polished very carefully to make the surface of the cannons so smooth. And the gun that Chen Xun said was

It is a six-pound gun that was directly removed from the Sea Wolf battleship. The gun body is as smooth as a mirror and is even coated with oil. There is no trace of rust, which shows that it has been well maintained.

All in all, although these cannons are worth a lot of money, if you don't see the goods, they will make people feel awkward, but after seeing the real objects, no one thinks that these things are expensive. At least with this kind of craftsmanship, they are better than what they used to get.

Those miscellaneous earthen cannons are much better, so the price should be higher.

Then Yan Siqi inspected the two Nanyue Island imitation bird guns that Chen Xun brought back. They were heavy. The barrels were black and very smooth. The various accessories were also made very regular. Fuck.

After making the machine bracket and the faucet for holding the matchlock, the mechanism moves very smoothly and the workmanship is also quite good.

"Okay! Chen Xun, you have done a great job this time! Now that he has these killing weapons, let's see if he still dares to be arrogant! By the way, if you go over this time, will Yu Xiaotian make it difficult for you?"

Yan Siqi put down the gun in his hand and asked Chen Xun.

Chen Xun shook his head and said: "That's not true. Mr. Yu just mentioned it. We seem to have gone less recently. It seems that he should have seen that we are wary of him, but he only pointed it out and did not continue.

say what.

But when he heard what I told him about what that guy had done, he became so furious that he almost broke the coffee table! It was obvious that he was also very dissatisfied with what that guy did!

Probably for this reason, he didn't shirk too much. When I first asked to buy some of their cannons, he didn't agree, but after listening to me, he agreed to our request.

It's just that he can only squeeze out so much goods at the moment, no more, and I saw with my own eyes that this Little Red Yi cannon was dismantled from their ship. These twenty Little Red Yi cannons are basically from him. I was forced to squeeze my men out of the boat! This fact makes me quite grateful!"

After Yan Siqi heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this Yu Xiaotian is not as generous as you think! This person can rise up along the coast of Fujian in such a short period of time. He is definitely not a careless person! This person's scheming is definitely not yours. It's as simple as I thought!

He should have already heard the news about the first official. The other official has been causing a lot of trouble in Zhangquan and other places recently. He should also know it very well. And his helping us this time is probably not just out of loyalty!

I'm afraid he saw Yiguan's ambition and didn't want us to fall like this, so he came to help us like this! As long as we don't fall, Yiguan won't be able to spare enough power to compete with him for territory. , in this way, we are equivalent to containing an official for him!

In addition, the price of these cannons he sold to us is really not low. By doing this, he can kill two birds with one stone. He not only makes money, but also allows us to help him hold back the first official! Humph! This Yu Xiaotian is really not good at all. It’s so simple!”

After listening to Yan Siqi's words, Chen Xun looked a little embarrassed.

But Yan Siqi looked at these things in front of him, waved his hands and continued: "No matter what Yu Xiaotian thinks, he is willing to help me at this time, which I, Yan, appreciate! After all, even if I have money now, I can't buy these good things. He can squeeze out all the guys he is using and sell them to me, Yan, so he is considered a good friend!

As for him making money, it's a matter of course. Anyone who lets him make money will make money, so it's better to let him make it!"

After Chen Xun heard this, he felt much better and said quickly: "Brother, these goods originally cost 42,800 taels of silver. Later, Master Yu gave away 2,800 taels of silver and rounded it up. There are also five shells and gunpowder for each cannon, and twenty rounds of gunpowder and gunpowder for the bird gun! These are all considered as gifts!"

Yan Siqi nodded and said: "Anyway, this is a good friend of the Yu family. I can't thank you enough for not adding insult to injury at this time. He made a lot of money from this business, so it's appropriate to give him some advice!"

As he spoke, Yan Siqi walked over to the six-pound cannon and took out a set of tools for making artillery from the box, which were mainly several poles of different styles. He looked at them in his hands and frowned.

Then he put down these things, lay down on the gun mount again, looked at the rear sight and front sight of the gun, and frowned even more.

"By the way, Chen Xun!" Yan Siqi shouted.

"Yes!" Chen Xun quickly stepped forward and agreed.

"Speaking of which, Master Yu sold this cannon to us, but this cannon is different from the cannons we have used before. There is no problem in firing, but it may be difficult to fire accurately!

You said that you saw with your own eyes that the Sea Wolf tribe used only two cannons on the ship to hit the rocks a mile away. This is really unbelievable! Can these cannons hit that far? And it’s still On a ship, how can you hit a reef so far away?" Yan Siqi slapped the barrel of the six-pound cannon and turned to Chen Xun and asked.

(Ouch! I actually forgot about the big seal yesterday. I have to shout about it today anyway. Please save it! Don’t miss it when you pass by. It’s fat enough. There is no problem in killing it now! Save it!)
