Great Song Pirate

Chapter 139 Actively preparing for war (seeking a monthly ticket)

In the past two days, Xiao Qian never dared to face Xu Yi again, and hid in the cabin alone, letting her maid Hong Dou come out to do everything, and she refused to come out again no matter what she said.

Cuiyu and Yuehong thought she was thin-skinned, and they were embarrassed to see Xu Yi again, so they went to her cabin every day to entertain her, and they became familiar with each other, Cuiyu and Xiao Qian could play the piano. Knowing some poems and the like, the talk is very speculative, and from time to time, she takes out the piano that Cuiyu carries with her, and plays it a bit, so that these vulgar people on board have a good meal.

Xu Yi and Li Bo secretly laughed, and didn't care about that Zhao Qian, let her make trouble, anyway, in Dulong Island, no matter what she is a little girl, she can't turn the world around, let's see what she wants to do.

After returning to Dulong Island, Xu Yi brought Cuiyu and Yuehong to Yingchun. The two girls were very well-behaved. After leaving Xu Yi, now that the two girls are very well-behaved and respect her as a housewife, the grievance in her heart has faded a lot, and she ordered Xiaohong to arrange a room for them to live in.

But for that Zhao Qian, Xu Yi couldn't explain it very well, and Yingchun was also surprised. Xu Yi only talked about Cuiyu and Yuehong at the beginning, but when he came back, why there was another one?And this Miss Zhao was obviously quite different from Xu Yi, and she was not very enthusiastic about her as his regular wife, so she pulled Xu Yi aside for interrogation.

"Tell me! What's the matter with Miss Zhao?" Yingchun asked unhappily.

"This...hehe! Listen to my explanation, this matter is like this..." Xu Yi then told Yingchun the whole matter about Zhao Qian.

After Yingchun's face changed a few times, she asked in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"

"Heaven and earth conscience, when did I, Xu Yi, lie to you? Li Bo can testify to this matter, it is absolutely true!" Xu Yi said swearingly.

"Hmph! That guy wears the same pair of trousers as you, so I don't believe his words!" Yingchun became angry when she mentioned Li Bo, and blamed him for hiding the matter of Cuiyu and Cuiyu from her when they partnered with Xu Yi.

Xu Yihan said: "You don't believe that Li Bo can do it. There are many brothers on board with me this time, and Wang Feng and the others can also prove it. How can I lie to you? Besides, you have seen it, this Zhao Qian He is also lukewarm to me, but we are innocent!"

In fact, Yingchun has believed Xu Yi's words for a long time, but she is just a little jealous. No matter how she looks at this Xiao Qian, she is a good-looking person, and her behavior is decent and generous, even a bit noble. It is no wonder that Yingchun is not jealous. I heard Xu Yi said Afterwards, he stopped entanglement, and said with some concern: "Then you clearly knew that there was something wrong with Miss Xiao, so why did you bring her back to our island? Are you not afraid of something happening?"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "What can she do on our island as a helpless little girl? Besides, what can happen if I entrust her to you, a wise wife, to take care of her? I just want to see See what kind of tricks this Miss Zhao is playing, and why she has to stay in our pirate den. Anyway, we are idle, so let's fight with her to relieve boredom! I'll leave her to you, you come Arrange it!"

Yingchun Qiao smiled: "I was worried that you would steal your mouth and eat what was in the bowl and look at what was in the pot! Hmph!"

Xu Yi sweated profusely: "Am I that lecherous?"

"That may not be true! People can change! This is what you told me at the beginning, people will change as their environment and status change!" Yingchun laughed.

Xu Yi secretly made up his mind that he could no longer instill such advanced thinking in Yingchun.

Letting go of Xiao Qian and handing it over to Yingchun, after Xu Yi returned to the island, he immediately found Lin Xiong and asked him to lead the boat and take the selected brothers to Hangzhou immediately after Xu Yi returned to the island. Lin Xiong is no stranger to Hangzhou. Now that Xu Yi has given him the official certificate from the Li family, he is no longer afraid of being wanted by the government. He took three fast boats to Hangzhou to meet Xue Tu. In order to let them have the ability to protect themselves, Xu Yi specially equipped each boat with three ballistas, so that they usually hide in the cabin, and they must be used once they arrive. As for the weapons of these people, Xu Yi asked Lin Xiong to buy them by himself after he arrived in Hangzhou. You can choose good things to buy, and you can't lose money to your brothers.

With Xue Tu and Lin Xiong in Hangzhou, and the Li family behind the scenes, there shouldn't be any problems. What he has to do now is to make all preparations. Once the escort agency starts to move, they will have to do a good job of secretly guarding them. As for the preparation of the escort, if there was a conflict with Jiang Desheng at sea, the people and ships of the Weihai Escort Bureau alone might not be Jiang Desheng's opponents. In the end, it would have to rely on the large fleet on the island to solve the problem.

Xu Yi stopped all robbery activities on the island, and gathered all the people on the island to Li Bo for unified drills. Xu Yi knew the importance of daily training. Lack of training is also an important reason. He doesn't intend to let these subordinates of Dulong Island be incompetent soldiers. More training will increase the ability to protect themselves and increase combat effectiveness. His plan is to implement militarized management of Dulong Island. Turn this place into a military base, and divide the army and civilians. All the people on the ship are soldiers, and all the people on the island are civilians. Those who serve as soldiers can do nothing. They only need to train and go to sea to rob, while those on the island do not need to go to sea. Concentrating on production and providing necessary logistical supplements for the island is an idea he had long ago. When Jin Huo was in charge, he mentioned it twice. Jin Huo didn't take it seriously, so he didn't fully implement it. The people on the island are still a little loose Well, now that he is the master of the house, he can't let these subordinates slack off, it's also for their own good.

Because of possible conflicts with Jiang Desheng in the future, Xu Yi restarted the manufacture of ballistas. Based on his previous experience, he remodeled the ballista again. In addition to increasing the speed and power of winding, he also modified With the rear sight, it can make the ballista more accurate. Compared with the first ballista he made, the modified ballista has been changed. It is like two things. The new ballista has a higher rate of fire. , the loading is more labor-saving, the power is greater, and the aiming is more convenient. It has become a more powerful killing machine. After seeing his new ballista, even the skilled craftsmen on the island can't help but admire it and feel ashamed.

Xu Yi disassembled the ballista into several parts, and handed them over to different craftsmen. He handed over the key parts to the most trusted person to make them, and Qin Huzi personally handled the iron parts, and finally assembled them. Unifying the shape system, speeding up the manufacturing speed, and improving the quality of the manufacturing, it can be said that it kills several birds with one stone. These are all things he learned in later generations. It is a piece of cake to make ballistas here. It is an assembly line operation!Simple!
Qin Huzi finally caught the busy Xu Yi, led him to his own workshop, and showed him his achievements. Xu Yi was holding a hollow iron ball the size of a child's head from ear to ear. This thing is too much like a land mine. Not only can it be used as a flying mine, but it is also an excellent thing to bury in the ground after installing a suitable fuze. But now they are at sea, so they don’t need this thing. If it is the case, build a batch of this thing, and it is estimated that it will be able to play a miraculous effect when it is brought to the battlefield.

Xu Yi looked at the hollow iron ball. Although the workmanship was still a little rough, the shape was almost the same as what he had asked for at the beginning. However, it was not cast into shape at one time, but two semicircles were cast first, and then buckled together again. , the seams are poured with molten iron, and it will not be cracked. There is a raised round hole at the top, which can be used to charge medicine and place lead wires. Weighed this hollow iron ball in my hand, and it feels about ten catties. Use a crossbow The firing of the cannon is neither light nor heavy, which is very good. It seems that Qin Huzi put a lot of thought into it during his trip to Hangzhou, but another product, Xu Yi, is not flattering, because this wine bottle-shaped guy is too crude It was a little bigger, and it was too heavy. Originally, he was going to use it to make a grenade, but once it was made, he might not be able to throw it very far, and it would not be able to blow up others. It seems that the grenade needs to be reconsidered. In the end, Xu Yi felt that the grenade with a wooden handle in the later generations was simpler and more appropriate. This bottle-shaped thing might as well be used as a gunpowder bottle.

After thanking Qin Huzi, Xu Yi took the hollow iron ball and ran to the gunpowder workshop, took out the gunpowder, poured it into the iron ball little by little, and then carefully pressed it firmly, just like a stone bullet, and pressed the fuse again. An iron bomb was finally completed.

Xu Yi called Yingchun, Qian Laoben and others, and took them to the test site he designated to watch the test together. That Xiao Qian liked to watch the excitement, and wanted to follow them even if she didn't know what they were going to do, but Xu Yi She refused. Before her identity was revealed, this was the top military secret of Dulong Island, and she couldn't be allowed to see it no matter what.

After ordering everyone to hide, it was Xu Yi's gunner. After placing the iron bomb, he lit the fuse. After hearing a loud noise, the smoke cleared. They gathered around and looked again. Xu Yi was overjoyed. The stone bomb has improved a lot, the only fly in the ointment is that the wall thickness of the bomb is not uniform, some parts have been blown into fragments, and some parts have been blown into large pieces, which affects the killing effect, resulting in uneven fragments, which cannot be used effectively. The maximum power of the bomb, it seems that the casting still needs to be improved, but Xu Yi is already very satisfied with being able to achieve this level. His bomb has pushed the development of Chinese weapons forward for at least several decades. Even the Song Dynasty decades later may not be able to produce such a powerful bomb.

Xu Yi found Qin Huzi and told Qin Huzi his new idea. There is no problem with this hollow iron ball, but when it is recast in the future, some grooves must be reserved on the surface, which can be regarded as preset fragments, so that the fragments after the explosion It will be more even, and the lethality will be much greater. Qin Huzi has seen the results of the explosion, and he is shocked. He is even more obedient to this new boss, and he is motivated. Who are they afraid of in Dulong Island after they have this thing!Let's do it, follow this headed Xu to have a bright future!
