And this ship is now loaded with as many as 20 guns, of which the lower cabin, is loaded with ten 24-pounder guns, this 24-pounder barrel is slightly shorter, the weight is not as heavy as the 24-pounder guns that are now used as the shore guns of the battery, but the power is not much, in naval battles, the effective direct aim range can reach 600 meters, of course, the hit rate will be worse, after all, the hull is shaking, and it is very difficult to accurately hit the enemy ship 600 meters away.

But at a distance of 400 meters, the shooting accuracy of this kind of artillery is already very good, at least it can reach a hit rate of more than 40%.

These cannons provided the Seawolf with a huge advantage in long-range firepower in naval warfare, and even if it encountered a Western-style warship, the ship could rely on these 24-pounder guns to launch an artillery attack on the enemy ship from a distance of effective firepower, and seize the opportunity to beat the opponent first.

And this kind of 24-pounder cannon, when used to bombard targets on the shore, can reach a distance of one kilometer, and even as far as three miles away, if it is used to bombard targets on the shore of the Ming Dynasty, with the current artillery skills of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult for the Ming government to find weapons and methods to effectively restrain it, and can only be beaten in front of its eyes.

In addition, on the upper deck of this ship, there are also ten guns, of which the bow and stern are each equipped with a short-barreled 32-pounder Caron gun, which itself is relatively tall, after installing this kind of Caron gun, in close combat, this ship can also use Caron guns to directly bombard the deck of the enemy ship, and it is easy to clean up the living targets on the deck of the enemy ship, of course, this can only refer to those Chinese sailing ships used among peers,

If it encounters a large European splint ship with a large displacement, it will not take much advantage.

In addition to these two Caron guns, four twelve-pounder guns were also arranged on each side, and with the twenty-four-pounder guns in the cabin below, this ship had a strong long-range attack advantage, even if it was a large plywood ship twice as large as it, this ship could rely on long-range superior firepower to hit the opponent all over the ground.

In addition, after the sea trial, the ship was equipped with a steering wheel operating mechanism, which made the flexibility of the ship's operation much more than before, and the steering speed was at least doubled when the wind was rushed.

This progress, for those who know how to do it, can play a great role in naval warfare, and may even determine the outcome of a naval battle, so now the people of the sailors are staring at this boat, hoping to catch this boat.

However, at present, it seems that this boat will obviously not be easily allocated to other people, because with Yu Xiaotian's presence, this boat is very likely to be selected by Yu Xiaotian as his handsome ship, there is no reason for their big bosses to use small ships, and their subordinate ships to use large ones, which is really not in accordance with the rules.

Yu Xiaotian didn't make a decision about this for the time being, but let the one-eyed dragon take over the ship for the time being, be responsible for training the sailors on the ship, and temporarily command the ship to go to sea in peacetime, but when he needs it, he may take this ship back and use it as his handsome ship.

And Yu Xiaotian is now more concerned about the two Spanish warships captured in the Battle of Jilong Bay.

During Yu Xiaotian's return to Nanri Island to treat his injuries, the two captured ships were briefly repaired in Jilong Bay, restoring some navigation capabilities, and temporarily plugging the damaged parts of the ship so that they would no longer leak.

Both ships were then returned to the Nanri Island Dockyard to be put into the dockyard for overhaul.

Both of these ships have a relatively large displacement and a large dead weight, and the Tamsui side is currently using slipway shipbuilding, and the dock has not yet been excavated, but there are two available docks on Nanri Island, which can be just crammed into these two ships.

Dock shipbuilding or ship repair, is a great advantage, the safety is higher than slipway shipbuilding and ship repair, and these two ships are Yu Xiaotian's current heart and liver baby, plus the freshwater shipyard, is now concentrating on all efforts, the special construction of the dhow Feizi clipper, so in order not to squeeze the production capacity of the freshwater shipyard, Yu Xiaotian when he returned to Nanri Island, he ordered the black head to send these two ships to Nanri Island shipyard for overhaul.

But in the matter of how to transport these two ships, the black head ran into trouble, because the operation of Chinese ships and Western-style ships is very different in operation, the sail operation of Western-style sailing ships requires high skill of sailors, while Chinese-style sailing ships have simple sails, much easier operation, and faster sailing, that is, when the sails are raised, they are relatively slower.

The two boats were already injured, and the mast of one of the ships had been discounted, so they had to be dismantled first, but the black head found that among his men and the sea wolf sailors, no one knew how to operate this kind of ship, especially the operation of the sails, and no one understood it.

At first, they wanted to use other ships to tow the two boats back to Nanri Island, but the danger of doing so was too great, and this voyage was not very short, and it was more than 400 miles to go down through the entire Taiwan Strait.

So after thinking about it, the black head finally hit the Spanish captives, so he found the captured Spanish sailors together, and asked the interpreter to ask them who would like to serve the sea wolves in the future.

At first, none of the Spanish captives were recruited, and they were unwilling to work for these Chinese pirates, so the blackhead ignored them at first, starved them for two days, and did not let them touch a drop of water, let alone eat.

Two days later, he came again with an interpreter and asked them if anyone would like to serve the sea wolf, and immediately someone stood up and said that he was willing to serve the sea wolf.

So on the spot, the black head asked someone to give him a big bowl of brown rice, a piece of bacon and a good-looking dish, and let him take it aside to eat.

Although the man was considered a soft-boned and damned traitor by the other Spanish sailors, when they smelled the tempting aroma of meat, and watched the guy snorting with a bowl and eating with his hands, someone brought the guy a jug of water to drink.

The Spanish sailors, who had been hungry for two days, all felt that a large amount of saliva began to secrete in their mouths again, and their stomachs were rumbling even more, and their empty stomachs made a strong protest.

Unable to resist the temptation, some of them stood up and offered to serve the sea wolves, so they were immediately given food and water, and a set of clothes were given to them.

Ever since the men were captured, the Seawolf tribe stripped them of their clothes and locked them up in a separate camp, and for some of them were some of the officers, but these officers, like other soldiers or sailors, were stripped naked, and naturally there was no dignity in them.

Therefore, the officers, who usually look very serious and majestic, were tossed like this, and they were suddenly swept away by their prestige, and they could no longer afford to be officials.

Think about it, a person is slick, swaying that thing down and down, and scolding people with a shelf, as funny as he wants, so these officers are completely lost their prestige and control over their subordinates when they are messed with like this.

This is also a bad idea that Yu Xiaotian came up with, if he wants to destroy a person's dignity, then don't dress them, see if they are naked, what majesty is there!

This is more than keeping the officers in solitary custody, and destroying their control over their subordinates, after a few days, the big guys are all naked, and the officers themselves are embarrassed to give orders to the others, and the sea wolves are even more desperate, and after putting them in the captive camp, they also shave their hair, which is supposed to prevent them from nourishing fleas and other parasites in their hair.

This time, hundreds of Spaniards, all of them have become bare-skinned monkeys, not to mention any dignity and undignity, although they also protested, but in front of the bayonets of the sea wolf tribes, this protest is obviously ineffective, and there are two of the most happy guys, who were pulled out of the coffin and hanged directly in the prisoner camp, this time these Spanish bare-skinned monkeys are completely honest.

As for the food they eat, they are all clear soup and little water, the salt can be enough, but they can only eat half full, as for the meat, don't talk about it, pickles are their best improvement.

So when they saw that someone had been given a large bowl of rice, bacon and vegetables, the Spanish captives almost drowned themselves with their own saliva.

In addition, these recruits were given a rudimentary set of clothes, which made many of the captives who had not worn clothes for a long time even more red-eyed.

Human beings from putting on clothes, began to have their own civilization, there are few people like to run around naked, clothes have become the least thing of human civilization, ordinary people can not imagine, when can not wear clothes, this kind of pain, if some people do not believe it, you might as well try at home what it is like to go without clothes for a day.

Clothing can provide people with the most basic dignity, and in addition to the food needed for survival, human beings' needs for clothing are probably the most important.

After seeing the recruits put on their clothes, the Spanish sailors could no longer resist the temptation, so they all screamed and asked to apply, expressing their willingness to serve the sea wolves and help the sea wolf men operate the ships.

However, the black head only selected the first few dozen of them, and the rest were eliminated because they hesitated for too long, did not accept their application request, and continued to let them go naked in the prisoner camp, drinking their clear soup and eating little.
