Chapter 82: The Lord
Although Yu Xiaotian led people to wait for news on the small island north of Dalian Island, he did not let his gang of guys idle, and after the past two days, he took them to continue to practice on the ship, and personally took them to strengthen everyone's fighting skills.
They are currently working as pirates at sea, because of the limited conditions, the lack of firearms on the ship, and more often they rely on hand-to-hand combat to defeat the enemy, so they do this business, they don't have any effort at hand, and they can't live long at all, which has been tested by Zhao Tong, who died before.
So these people now know the stakes involved, and when Yu Xiaotian lets them practice their fighting skills hard, no one dares to be lazy.
Yu Xiaotian didn't let them practice any routines, and he didn't know any routines himself, but he was a master of free fighting, and he had his natural advantages in martial arts.
These days, he tried to use a variety of long and short weapons with the descendants on the island without any trouble, and after understanding it, he also had some experience, and figured out a few moves to use, so he passed them all to everyone, asking everyone to practice, as much as possible to be familiar with these tricks, and try to form instinct when doing it.
However, he also knew that the tricks he pondered by himself were definitely not clever, but there were not many masters who did this at sea, and they paid attention to a quick word, so as long as these people practiced these moves, at least they would be more powerful in the future!
As for how to continue to train them next, Yu Xiaotian felt that he still had to find a way to find someone to ask for advice, but at the moment he didn't have such conditions, if he had the opportunity to go back, he would talk about it.
So he can only find another way to strengthen the protection ability of his subordinates, at sea, it is impossible for them to wear iron armor, once they fall into the water, they will not even bubble a few, they will immediately drown people, so wearing armor on the ship, at most it is good to wear leather armor, which can provide some protection more or less.
The other is the shield, Yu Xiaotian also designed a small arm shield according to some cold weapons he had learned before, this small shield is only about one foot in diameter, under normal circumstances, it can be held, or it can be put on the arm and tied directly with a rope, so that the left hand can be liberated and the long weapon can be held in both hands.
But at the moment he has no materials at hand, so he can only do a test first, after he himself tried it, he feels okay, the small shield can provide them with a certain degree of protection, and at the same time does not affect their actions very much, it is very suitable for protection in a narrow space, so he made up his mind that in the future, the brothers on the ship will be equipped with this kind of small shield, to strengthen their protection ability to some extent.
Of course, he also knew that this era had begun to develop from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons, and if they wanted to greatly improve their combat effectiveness, they still had to rely on getting guns.
But at the moment, they don't have this ability, and there are not many ways to buy it, so they don't have to think about it for the time being, he Yu Xiaotian is confident that he can design a working gun, but at present, they don't even have a blacksmith, let alone a gun, the development of firearms is inseparable from the development of craftsmanship and technology, materials and machinery, without this kind of foundation, now he is thinking about making guns and cannons, which is simply looking at the moon in the water, so he can only think of some ways to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates within a limited range.
Now they lack everything, which is why he is not in a hurry to get the payment for this ship, the five hundred taels of silver, he has no intention of converting it into cash at all, the main purpose is to establish a good relationship with the Li family, the nest owner, and supplement some of the materials they urgently need.
Before he came, he had actually discussed this idea with everyone, although these people were a little reluctant, but considering that Yu Xiaotian was also for their long-term plans, none of these people raised objections.
The reason why he didn't directly bring up the matter of buying materials with the manager Li was mainly because he wanted to meet with their nest owner first, and only after seeing this Li shopkeeper could he judge whether this person could be handed over or not, whether he was worthy of their trust, otherwise, he would still have to find a new nest owner in the future.
At this time, if they can't find a solid and reliable nest owner to back them up, it will be difficult for a pirate group like them to develop at sea, which is why Yu Xiaotian insisted on waiting here to meet Shopkeeper Li in person.
With their training, the time of such news is not difficult, two days passed in the blink of an eye, when they unloaded the next night, a small sampan appeared where they were, a man of the Li family climbed the boat along the rope ladder, saw Yu Xiaotian, after the salute told Yu Xiaotian that their shopkeeper was already on the way here, and he could go to Dalian Island tomorrow morning, please go to Dalian Island at noon tomorrow.
For this news, Yu Xiaotian was more satisfied, the shopkeeper of the Li family was willing to see him in person, indicating that he did not despise them too much, although they are very weak at the moment, and among the many pirate groups, they are even more fledgling and unknown, but the shopkeeper Li is still willing to come to Dalian Island in person, which shows that the Li family is willing to establish a long-term relationship with them in the future, not just because he has taken a bad breath for the Li family, but just a general courtesy.
After the first experience of going to Dalian Island, the people on the boat did not have much worry about Yu Xiaotian's going to Dalian Island again, and the next day before noon, they returned to the outside of Dalian Island again, at this time the Li family's boat was already waiting outside the dock, as soon as they saw their boat, they immediately came up, and Yu Xiaotian and Zhao Mazi and others picked up the boat and sailed back to the dock.
As soon as Yu Xiaotian entered the Li family's warehouse, he saw a middle-aged man with a white and clean appearance and a beautiful short beard walking over from the yard, as if he was very familiar with him, clasping his hands into fists, and said with a smile on his face: "This must be the shopkeeper Yu!" In Xia Li Yi, he belatedly let the shopkeeper wait for a long time, and hoped to forgive his sins! Forgive your sins! ”
Yu Xiaotian immediately knew that this was the shopkeeper of the Li family, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and laughed loudly: "How dare you!" Under Yu Xiaotian, I take the liberty of asking Shopkeeper Li to come here hundreds of miles away, it should be Yu Mou's apologies! Shopkeeper Li is polite! ”
As soon as Zhao Mazi saw Li Yi, he hurriedly trotted to Li Yi, bowed and said, "Zhao Hai has seen the owner!" ”
Li Yi smiled: "Don't dare! Zhao Hai! Yu isn't your boss now! Don't call it that again in the future! If it weren't for you, Yu wouldn't have known Yu as the shopkeeper, and Yu would have to thank you!
Well, this is not the place to speak, please in the shopkeeper, please inside! I've ordered someone to prepare a little wine, so let's sit down and talk! Please, please, please! ”
As he spoke, Li Yi stepped forward, grabbed Yu Xiaotian's arm as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and pulled Yu Xiaotian towards the back of the warehouse with a smile.
Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh secretly, the reason why this Li Yi was able to revive the dilapidated home in a short period of time, the level of receiving people and things is really not low, a person like him is really talking about people and talking nonsense, no wonder he can become a big businessman! This first time they met, they could be so affectionate, and he would never be able to do it.
After entering the hall where they sat last time, Li Yi waved his hand to let the idle people push down, and did not invite Yu Xiaotian to sit down, but suddenly bowed to Xiaotian and said, "Please accept Li's worship!" Since Li learned that the shopkeeper found an enemy on behalf of our Li family, and helped him to kill the enemy, he wanted to meet Engong in person day and night! I thanked Engong in person, but I didn't expect to see Engong so soon, and I hope that Engong will be worshiped by Li! ”
Yu Xiaotian was in a hurry by Li Yi, so he hurriedly went up and supported Li Yi, saying that he would not let Li Yi bow down, and hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Li is too polite!" So gracious! Yu Mou just made a mistake and broke through the secret collusion with pirates surnamed Jiang to sneak attack your Li family, not a special trip to vent for Shopkeeper Li, everything was unintentional, how could Shopkeeper Li be so polite! This word Engong is absolutely undeserved! This is a torture and killing of Yu! Hurry up, please! ”
As he spoke, he forcibly dragged the shopkeeper Li up, and grabbed Li Yi to prevent him from worshipping any more.
Li Yi struggled slightly, and found that Yu Xiaotian was extremely powerful, so he gave up, pulled Yu Xiaotian to give him up to the top position, sat down according to Yu Xiaotian, and sat in front of Yu Xiaotian, then beckoned Zhao Mazi and Liu Laoliu to sit down, and asked Steward Li to hurry up and serve the food.
After a while, a table of delicacies came to the table like a stream, compared to the last time Steward Li entertained them, this table of dishes was much more exquisite and rich, but today did not let Xiu'er and the other two women come to accompany them.
Shopkeeper Li personally poured a full wine for Yu Xiaotian, and raised it to respect Yu Xiaotian: "Thank you for your kindness, since the shopkeeper Yu is a person in temperament, I, Li Yi, are not welcome, today I will first have a glass of water and wine, and pay tribute to the shopkeeper three glasses!" I hope that the shopkeeper will not shirk! ”
Yu Xiaotian was no longer polite this time, took the wine glass, drank three glasses in a row, and showed the bottom of the wine glass.
"Good! Yu Da Boss is really bold! Sit sit, sit, sit! Let's talk while eating! Shopkeeper Li poured Yu Xiaotian full of wine again, and then beckoned Yu Xiaotian to sit down and speak.
After a short contact between the two parties, they felt that the relationship had become a lot closer, and Shopkeeper Li asked Yu Xiaotian where they were now, and Yu Xiaotian did not hide it, and told Shopkeeper Li that they were temporarily settling on a small island south of Haitan Island, and Li Yi frowned slightly and said, "Treasure Island? I've never heard of that! ”
"Huh! Treasure Island is a name casually given by Yu, and it was just a small desert island before! Shopkeeper Li has never heard of it, it is natural! Don't hide it from you, shopkeeper Li, after I killed Jiang Baihu in Fu'an County, I committed a big crime, and the local government and pirates are looking for us, with our strength, we can no longer settle on the sea in the area of Funing Prefecture for the time being, so we have to be forced to go south and avoid the coastal area of Fuzhou!
To tell you the truth, we have just gone to the sea, our strength is limited, and we will rely on the help of Shopkeeper Li in the future, so that we can gain a foothold on this sea! This time, Yu took the liberty of inviting Shopkeeper Li to come for a while, in fact, he asked Shopkeeper Li, and hoped that Shopkeeper Li would help him more! Yu Xiaotian put down his chopsticks and said to Li Yi with a fist.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Yu is really polite when he says this!" You are kind to me and help you, it is within my Li's duty! If there is any need, as long as Yu can do it, he will never refuse! ”
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's Yu's luck to see Shopkeeper Li today!" Since Shopkeeper Li said so, then Yu Mou will not be polite to Shopkeeper Li!
Now Yu has just gone to the sea, and all kinds of materials are extremely scarce, and after handing over the goods to the shopkeeper Li this time, I want to replenish some supplies! But I don't know if Shopkeeper Li may help me get these things! ”
As he spoke, Yu Xiaotian took out another list and handed it to Li Yi with both hands.
(Huhu, the second watch is coming, brothers check it!) Don't waste it if you have a red ticket! Stay! )
