Daming pirates

This group of sea wolf land division members had a strong sense of obedience and discipline in the army, which he had never seen in his life. Three thousand people started to move. Under the command of the general, it could be said that the queues changed like arms and fingers.

There was no chaos at all, and there was absolutely no shouting or yelling like when an army is mobilized.

Therefore, the general only needs to issue an order, and these infantrymen can understand the officer's order extremely well, and can immediately adjust according to the military order extremely smoothly, advancing like a blade, being as quiet as Mount Tai, and retreating into the tide without any confusion.

As steady as Yue Linyuan.

Xie Longyi has always claimed to be good at running the army, but after seeing the performance of Sea Wolf Land Division recently, he still felt a strong feeling of inferiority and powerlessness in his heart.

He could clearly feel that the Sea Wolf's land division was definitely different from any other army on land. The training methods they adopted were also very different from other army troops, including their command.

It was completely different. The efficiency of this army in executing military orders made him, a veteran general, feel a sincere shock.

What shocked him even more was that the quality of the land division's equipment built by Yu Xiaotian was of such high quality that he had never seen before.

Among the members of the Sea Wolf Land Division, although cold weapons such as swords and guns also have a certain amount of equipment, including archers, what is surprising is that the number of muskets and equipment is far more than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.

There were even several teams among them, all equipped with muskets.

This kind of weaponry was something he had never seen before. Although the Ming army was known for its firearms, the Shenji Battalion among the three major battalions in the capital was said to be all equipped with firearms. However, among the firearms equipped by the Shenji Battalion,

Mainly with three-eyed blunderbuss, the situation of large-scale equipment of "bird blunderbuss" like Sea Wolf can be said to be the only one in the world in the Ming Dynasty.

This reminded him of the infantry army of the Red-haired People that he had fought against before. He had also participated in the Battle of Penghu with Nan Juyi, and had personally visited the battlefield and commanded the Ming army to attack the Red-haired People's Hongmao City.

At that time, he had seen the extremely sharp firearms of the red-haired people, especially the large number of muskets equipped by the red-haired people, which left a deep impression on him.

At that time, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers gathered in Penghu, taking turns to attack Hongmao City. The red-haired soldiers held on to the red-haired people and refused to retreat. Their artillery fire was far and accurate, and their muskets fired volleys with great power.

It was so huge that every time the Ming army rushed forward, people were beaten by their volleys of guns and turned upside down, with corpses strewn all over the ground.

Attack after attack, failure again and again, every time they rushed up, the Hongmao City was like a volcano erupting, rows of bullets were fired out, mowing down the Ming army like grass.

Many famous generals in Fujian personally led their troops to rush forward, but it still had no effect. On the contrary, most of them died under the bullets of the red-haired men.

After that battle, Xie Longyi deeply remembered the power of bird guns. After returning, he also tried to use bird guns to form a fire gun army.

However, the quality of the bird muskets produced by the Ming Dynasty was really poor, and the officers and soldiers took great care of them. Repeated test firings always resulted in explosive barrels, and the gunmen were either killed or injured, so they had to be abandoned.

But he didn't expect that when he saw Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf tribe today, they were equipped with so many muskets, and they conducted test firings in front of him. There was no explosion accident, and they hit the wood on the shooting range.

The debris from the target was flying around, which surprised Xie Longyi.

They were all blunderbuss, so why did the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty explode their barrels as soon as they were used, but nothing happened in the hands of the red-haired and sea wolf tribesmen? So after hesitating a few times, he said to Xiaotian: "General Yu, can you take it?"

Can you let me take a look at one of the blunderbuss you use?"

Yu Xiaotian nodded immediately, beckoned someone to fetch a musket, took it, and handed it to Xie Longyi.

This musket is not the standard South Japanese flintlock gun equipped by Sea Wolf, nor is it the newly equipped Wolf Fang rifled gun, but a marketable matchlock gun specially developed by Sea Wolf Gun.

The matchlock gun developed by Sea Wolf is actually similar to the musket, except that the shoulder stock has been modified to ensure better quality. In addition, the faucet operating mechanism for catching the matchlock has been slightly modified, and a movable lid has been added to the medicine tank.

Linked with the faucet, when the faucet holding the match rope falls down, the lid will automatically pop open, allowing the match rope to fall into the medicine pool. After normal loading, the lid will be in a closed state, and can be used normally in windy weather.

Therefore, there is certainly no problem in showing this kind of musket to Xie Longyi. Even if the South Japanese-style flintlock gun is shown to Xie Longyi now, Yu Xiaotian thinks there will not be much of a problem. After all, the manufacturing of the flintlock device is not simple, especially inside

The spring blades were manufactured by Sea Wolf after countless tests, and the quality was unstable for the first two years. It took more than a year for the quality to stabilize.

Even if Xie Longyi saw the South Japanese-style flintlock gun and asked Ming craftsmen to imitate it, it would be difficult to pass this level. If he wanted to imitate large quantities, relying on the various habits of Ming Dynasty, he would probably make it.

The fire rate of the flintlock gun will definitely not reach 30%. It would be too tragic if it were used against him.

So Yu Xiaotian didn't care too much and first brought an export matchlock gun to Xie Longyi for Xie Longyi to watch.

Xie Longyi took the matchlock gun made by Sea Wolf, held it in his hand and observed it carefully. This gun is made of standard fine iron, and the body and barrel are coated with grease to prevent rust.

, the butt has a special style that can be conveniently and firmly placed on the shoulder socket, making the gun stable.

In addition, the barrel is made very delicately, with sufficient materials, and the barrel is well bored, including the wooden gun body and fixed connections. They are all made very delicately. At first glance, it is a rare good gun, so Xie Longyi came immediately

I was very interested and asked to try this musket myself.

Xie Longyi's soldiers were all shocked when they heard this. They had all seen the situation when the gun exploded, and they had also seen the tragic situation of the user's face being blown up. When they heard that Xie Longyi was going to take the risk,

As soon as Sea Wolf gave him this "bird gun", he was so frightened that he quickly offered words of advice.

One of the soldiers immediately asked Xie Longyi to try out this "bird gun", but Xie Longyi still wanted to try it himself, so Yu Xiaotian smiled at the side and said: "Brothers, don't worry, Yu can use his head as a guarantee.

This gun will never explode. If it does, I will cut off Yu’s head to make amends to the military!"

Xie Longyi's soldiers heard Yu Xiaotian's firm guarantee, so they reluctantly let Xie Longyi try this blunderbuss.

Yu Xiaotian ordered people to load Xie Longyi, and set up a wooden target the size of a door panel thirty steps away. Xie Longyi followed Yu Xiaotian's "guidance" and put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aiming it at thirty steps through the rear sight and front sight.

The wooden target was a few steps away, and the faucet mechanism was slightly turned. The faucet caught the burning match rope, and fell into the open medicine pool with a click.

I saw a ball of fire rising from the medicine pool, followed by a puff of gunpowder smoke, which blackened half of Xie Longyi's face. The musket made a crisp sound. Xie Longyi was pushed hard on the shoulder by the powerful recoil of the musket.

If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he would have been knocked to the ground by the recoil on the spot. If that happened, Xie Longyi would have made a big fool of himself today.

You must know that the diameter of the barrel of Sea Wolf's musket is much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty standard bird gun, and the charge is naturally much larger. The recoil when firing is certainly strong.

Many people who tried to fire the Seawolf musket for the first time were not prepared at first. As a result, they were knocked down by the recoil and were disgraced. This kind of thing is a common thing in the training of Seawolf recruits. The instructors like to see it.

new recruits

Naturally, he would not specifically remind him if he was embarrassed, but today Fujian Commander-in-Chief Xie Longyi was about to be put on probation. Of course Yu Xiaotian couldn't let him embarrass himself in public, so before that, he reminded Xie Longyi, which prevented Xie Longyi from being embarrassed on the spot.

But even so, Xie Longyi still felt lingering fear after shooting. Half of his face was blackened by gunpowder, and he looked quite embarrassed.

After shooting, he hurriedly handed the matchlock gun back to Yu Xiaotian, and walked to the wooden target in three steps and two steps at a time. Everyone leaned over to watch together, and saw that in the middle and lower part of the wooden target, there was an inch-thick

The wooden target actually had a hole punched through it, with a small entrance and a large exit, which shows that this gun is really powerful.

After seeing it, Xie Longyi was overjoyed and praised the blunderbuss repeatedly for its power. There was a greedy look in his eyes, but at the same time he was still frightened. He fully understood how powerful Yu Xiaotian's men were. Just this kind of bird blunderbuss, ordinary soldiers can't help it.

If a horse is bumped into, it would be considered strange if it doesn't get flattened. In addition, Xiaotian's

Under military orders, his subordinates are as capable as arms and fingers. When ordinary soldiers and horses encounter these tigers and wolves like sea wolves, it can be said to be a dead end. Therefore, Xie Longyi is wary. Anyone can be offended in the future. Yu Xiaotian is a millionaire.

You must not offend him! Otherwise, I am afraid that he will also end up with no end.

Yu Xiaotian threw the matchlock gun to the guards behind him and invited Xie Longyi and Cai Shanji into the city to hold a banquet in their honor. The crowd surrounded the two of them and walked into the city with cheers.

Yu Xiaotian held a banquet in the halls of thousands of households in the city. He specially invited a famous chef from Quanzhou City to take charge of the banquet. He also prepared a lot of rare ingredients, which were quite luxurious. The wine was also specially purified by Sea Wolf.

The wine was good and fragrant, including rare whale meat and some rare seafood. Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi couldn't stop praising the food.

In fact, whale meat is not very delicious, it is too greasy, but after all, it is rare and expensive. It is said to be magical and the price is quite high. Even people like Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi cannot eat it often.

After tasting it, Yu Xiaotian recently prepared a lot of dishes, and they were cooked by experts, which naturally made them very happy to eat.

During the banquet, Yu Xiaotian and his generals came forward to toast one after another, which made Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi feel quite proud, and the atmosphere between the guests and host was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Xie Longyi's face was also stimulated by the strong wine and turned red. So taking advantage of the wine, he hesitated and asked Xiaotian about the kind of musket he had tried just now, and asked Yu

Xiaotian has some extra on hand. Can you give him some?

(Today, I would like to express my special thanks to Brother Lang Yalang for the reward. Thank you for being late. Please forgive me, brother!)
