As for the matchlocks delivered to them, although the technology is not much higher than that of land craftsmen or Western craftsmen, the important thing is that Seawolf adopts unified specifications and standards when producing them, and the shape of the matchlocks produced is

Unification, there is no such thing as military households making muskets for the officers and soldiers

At that time, the work materials were exploited by the officials at all levels, and they could only use inferior iron materials and cut corners to make the blunderbuss, which were all made of solid fine iron, although the craftsmanship was simpler than that of Sea Wolf's own flintlock gun.

, the materials used have also been reduced, but safety is still guaranteed.

In addition, Yan Siqi also checked the batch of ammunition that Sea Wolf delivered to Yan Siqi. The gunpowder was quite good, and the projectiles were also carefully cast. The tolerances on the gun bore were relatively small, far better than what he had used with rocks and iron fragments.

It is much stronger, even the shotguns are made of iron, and the power is guaranteed to be stronger than those they use themselves.

Moreover, Yan Siqi also went to Perak Island to watch his men learn how to use artillery. Yu Xiaotian organized a standard short-term training class for Yan Siqi's men, and was only responsible for teaching them how to use these cannons and muskets. In-depth military training was not included.

Regardless, after a short period of training, these people have basically mastered the aiming skills and can now operate these artillery pieces.

After Yan Siqi arrived at Perak Island, he personally watched his men's practice of firing artillery. More than a hundred of Yan Siqi's men, each with their arms rolled up and their sleeves rolled up, took turns firing several cannons in front of Yan Siqi.

After some training by Sea Wolf's men, these Yan Siqi's men had basically mastered some of the essentials of cannon shooting. After some test firing, they actually fired well, and most of the shells hit the target.

(Of course the goal is quite big), which made Yan Siqi even more happy, so he thanked Xiaotian in person again.

After getting these new guys, Yan Siqi's confidence suddenly increased. He felt that he no longer had to be afraid of Zheng Yiguan, and the batch of cannons he had obtained was enough for him to send people out to sea with confidence and boldness to fight Zheng Yiguan to the death.

, this incident not only allowed him to improve his military equipment, but more importantly, it restored the confidence of his men. In modern terms, it was equivalent to giving his men a shot in the arm, which greatly improved their

Boost morale.

So after Yan Siqi expressed his gratitude, he happily returned to Bengang with his subordinates and the batch of cannons delivered to them by Yu Xiaotian, where he began to sharpen his knives and prepare to launch revenge against Zheng Yiguan.

Before Yan Siqi left, Yu Xiaotian gave Yan Siqi another great gift, that is, he selected twenty gunners from the Sea Wolf tribe to serve as gunnery instructors and follow Yan Siqi back to Bengang to assist Yan Siqi.

Train more gunners and guide them in how to fuck cannons.

Although the number of artillery pieces purchased by Yan Siqi this time was not too large, Yu Xiaotian learned about the abilities of Yan Siqi's men through the men sent by Yan Siqi this time.

Although these Yan Siqi's men are all old seals, they are no strangers to artillery. Many of them have fired artillery before, but they have not formed a set of effective regulations to regulate their use of artillery.

In actual use, there is a lot of randomness. How much gunpowder is loaded depends entirely on estimates and personal experience. In addition, the quality of the artillery they use is not good, the accident rate remains high, and the accuracy of the shelling is even more ridiculous.

Now that Yan Siqi has become his brother, he has essentially become his ally. The next step will be to restrain Zheng Yiguan's energy and strength on his behalf, so within a limited scope, he is still willing to make Yan Siqi stronger.

This is also the reason why he selected twenty gunners to go to Yan Siqi's place to help him train the remaining minions and increase their combat effectiveness.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian still had selfish motives for doing this. Although he had placed a detailed agent at Yan Siqi to monitor Yan Siqi's actions, the two parties were already allies, and he could openly mix some sand into Yan Siqi's subordinates.

, it is more convenient to understand the situation on Yan Siqi's side.

However, Yu Xiaotian also explained to Yan Siqi in advance that after the twenty gunnery instructors arrived at his place, they would only be responsible for training gunners and teaching them how to fuck cannons, but would not participate in their specific actions. If they were accidentally involved,

If casualties are caused during military operations, Yan Siqi will be responsible for providing them with compensation.

Yan Siqi immediately agreed to this point. He knew that the Sea Wolf tribe was very powerful. In the past, he was embarrassed to ask the Sea Wolf people to help him and train some of his subordinates. This time Yu Xiaotian took the initiative to propose this

The thing was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately agreed.

After sending Yan Siqi away, Yu Xiaotian looked at the undulating ocean, took a deep breath, and secretly thought that the sixth year of the Apocalypse had arrived. He didn't know how many challenges he would have to face this year. Will the Spaniards survive?

Will they seize the Taipei area as in history? If history has not changed significantly, then it probably hasn’t been long since the Spaniards invaded the chicken coop.

And where will Zheng Yiguan go in the future? These are all unknown, but one thing he knows very well is that this year will definitely be a very tense year, with countless challenges waiting for him.

Now that he has two biological children, the burden on his shoulders is heavier, and he dare not fail. He can only continue to be energetic and keep going. Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath again.

After taking a breath of fresh air, I cheered up my spirits, turned around and strode back to Dazhai.

After more than half a year of relocation of various workshops of Sea Wolf, except for the workshop on the original site of Nanyue Island, which is still in operation, the new workshops in Tamsui and Chicken Coop were opened at the end of the fifth year of Tianqi.

At that time, most of them were started and put into production.

The production capacity of the entire Seawolf factory has been expanded by one to two times, which has greatly improved Seawolf's industrial production capacity.

And in addition to the original cannon making, gun making, soap workshops, and glass workshops, the Sea Wolf Workshop has added many new workshops after its expansion over the past six months.

Over the past year, Seawolves have carried out many large-scale shore raids, which also provided human support for Seawolves and forcibly brought many people from land.

Before these people were moved to Taiyuan Island, they were sorted and screened in various concentration camps, and those who had some skills were selected individually and sent to various workshops to work, becoming the number one of the Sea Wolf.

Replace industrial workers, remove them from land and agricultural production, and transform them into professional workers to contribute to the industrial development of Sea Wolf.

In the past, most of these skilled people worked in farming and used their free time to make things to sell to subsidize some household expenses. They only produced in small family workshops and could not form an effective production scale.

But after being abducted by the Sea Wolf this time, they were all selected and incorporated into factories to specialize in industrial production, freeing them from agricultural production and forming the basis for large-scale production.

Even if Yu Xiaotian fails to copy the modern machinery of later generations, these craftsmen can still only use old-style manual production. However, various workshops of Sea Wolf have now begun to implement assembly line operations, and each craftsman is no longer the same as before.

, he produces a product from start to finish by himself, but specializes in making only one component and then assembling it, or is only responsible for one production process.

In this way, preliminary intensive production was formed, which saved a lot of manpower and material resources and also improved the efficiency of production. In essence, it was a human sea tactic. Before there were modern production machinery, this method was used to expand production.

Production scale.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian cannot rely solely on the two time-travel artifacts of glass and soap to meet his needs. In the past six months, he has invested a lot of energy in industry. In addition to splitting the original workshops, he also created new ones.

Many categories of workshops have been added.

In order to make full use of the existing human resources, especially those women who have nothing to do at home, they are also human resources that cannot be ignored, so he asked the council to split the original sewing club on Nanyue Island into Tamsui and Jilong.

All have opened garment factories, absorbing the families of local idle craftsmen to work in the garment factories to make clothes for the Sea Wolf tribe. In addition to meeting the needs of the Sea Wolf tribe, it can also provide some to the local people.

This product allows some bachelors to no longer have to worry about dressing.

In addition, a series of other workshops closely related to life in the immigrant area have been opened, such as several large brick kilns, ceramics fields, pickle factories, tanneries, etc. The products produced are not only supplied to Hailang for his own use, but also

It can provide some goods to the local people, and can even be used as goods to resell on land or to Europeans to earn profits, which greatly meets the needs of the people's livelihood and also improves the quality of life of the Sea Wolf military.

In Yu Xiaotian's opinion, the reason why military discipline in the Ming Dynasty collapsed was not only the disadvantages caused by the hereditary system of officers, but also the low treatment of soldiers.

In fact, according to the amount of military expenditures spent by the Ming Dynasty every year, it cannot be considered low. Under normal circumstances, the food and salary for soldiers cannot be considered low, but the key is the period from the allocation of military expenditures to the delivery to the hands of soldiers.

The officials all reached out to get a piece of the pie, filling their own pockets, and after layer upon layer of exploitation, when it came into the hands of the soldiers, almost nothing was left. Almost no one in the soldiers could really get the food and pay they deserved, and they had no choice but to

If you don't want to survive, you have to either farm most of the year, and most of the income from farming will be taken away by the officers, or you can use clever means to extort money from the people, causing military discipline to be corrupted to an extent that cannot be improved, and combat effectiveness will naturally be ignored.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf must fundamentally solve these problems. In the past, when the Sea Wolf tribe was small, Yu Xiaotian could still manage it. However, as the Sea Wolf tribe becomes more and more numerous and the scale becomes larger and larger, problems begin to appear.

There are bad situations where the leader takes advantage of his subordinates.
