After going to sea, Yu Xiaotian was invited to Wang Hong's ship to discuss with Wang Hong and Fang An about going to Matsu to fight against the mixed river dragon this time.

Wang Hong and Fang An's ships are larger than Yu Xiaotian's boats, they are the more common Fu ship types in Fujian, with a sharp head and a wide tail, two stilts, two sides equipped with guards, the ship is divided into three layers, it is a standard Fu ship type, and they are all used double masts, and the hull is also made of thick wood.

There is also their type of Fu ship, which adopts the unique double rudder structure of the Fu ship, which is maneuverable, and the hull is also divided into 13 compartments by 12 partitions, and the impact resistance and sinking resistance are much stronger than Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf, and the hull structure is much stronger.

Yu Xiaotian had rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with such a ship before, but after being invited to Wang Hong's ship this time, he was accompanied by Wang Hong, and watched it carefully up and down.

If they were not in this late Ming Dynasty era, China's shipbuilding level could be regarded as the world's top in the world, and this kind of lucky ship could almost run rampant at sea.

It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the sea for a long time, and after Zheng He, the Ming Dynasty closed the sea again, which greatly inhibited the development of China's navigation industry and shipbuilding industry, not only stopped the development, but also regressed in the shipbuilding industry, so that when Yu Xiaotian came to this era, China was no longer able to build the treasure ship used by Zheng He.

Now the largest Chinese sailing ship he has ever seen, the displacement is only about 100 tons, there are few ships with a displacement of more than hundreds of tons, many shipbuilding skills, in the past hundred years, has been gradually lost, can no longer reproduce the majesty of Zheng He's treasure fleet.

However, Western countries took advantage of this rare opportunity and began to set their sights on the sea, creating the Age of Discovery, which not only gradually traveled to most of the earth, but also greatly developed the shipbuilding industry.

So much so that the shipbuilding industry and shipbuilding technology in the West have surpassed China and developed a series of new sailing ships, both in terms of tonnage and speed, which greatly exceed the ships currently used in China.

Based on Yu Xiaotian's understanding, at present, even if it takes the largest fortune ship of the Chinese, it may not be able to compete with some ordinary armed merchant ships of Western countries.

At present, the West has developed Carrick, Caravelle, Clark and even the latest Galen, some people say that it is Gallion.

This series of new Western-style sailing ships greatly promoted the pace of Westerners' foreign expansion, enabling them to sail farther, load more goods, carry more personnel, load more cannons, have stronger combat effectiveness and faster speed, and also possess powerful force.

It is precisely because of the development of their shipbuilding skills that the Westerners changed the form of naval warfare, making it very difficult to jump gang white-knuckle warfare, greatly improving the ability of naval artillery warfare, and began to rely more on artillery tactics for naval warfare.

However, China's shipbuilding technology has stagnated, and many of the techniques that the Chinese are proud of have curbed the improvement of the combat effectiveness of Chinese sailing ships, and now these pirates still use the tactics of jumping gang white-knuckle warfare at sea, fortunately they have not encountered Western ships at the moment, otherwise, they are likely to collapse at the first touch, and they are not opponents of the other side at all, even if they are armed merchant ships.

Although Wang Hong's fortune ship is much larger than his ship, the large one can only be limited, the displacement is less than 100 tons, the total length is only more than 30 meters, the width is less than 10 meters, and the loaded artillery is only four or five, and they are all light artillery, and the combat effectiveness is still limited, and only the ships smaller than it pose a relatively large threat.

After seeing Wang Hong's boat, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel emotional, both a little envious and a little sad, envious that Wang Hong's guys went into the water early, and the boat was better than his, and the sad thing was that even if it was such a lucky ship, looking at the world, it would not be able to hang up to the superior, I really don't know what if they ran into a Western ship one day in the future, it is estimated that unless they are more than ten times the number, they can fight against others.

"How's that going, brother? Brother, this boat is okay! Ha Lu Ha! Quite a bit bigger than your ship! Wang Hongquite said to Xiaotian with a little smugness.

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's really good, Brother Wang, your boat is indeed a lot bigger than my ship!" What a pity! Bad luck brother, never had a chance to get a boat like this! This time I went to Matsu's side, I'm afraid I can only give the two brothers a hand! ”

"Hmmm! I can't say the same, although my brother's boat is a little bigger than yours, but your boat also has small advantages, at least it is a little more flexible than our two boats, it can protect our back and flanks, and it can help beat the boat under the mixed river dragon hard!

If you have a brother, your subordinates are all good, and you can see that they are all powerful guys at a glance, in case you start to do it, you may not be worse than us!

With your ability, brother, this kind of boat is not difficult to build, it won't take long, brother, I promise, you will definitely be able to get a boat like this! "Wang Hong is very optimistic about Yu Xiaotian, so he is not in front of Xiaotian, and he is very sincere.

Fang An also followed and said: "Third brother is right, Brother Yu, you don't have to worry, with your ability, it will be a matter of time before you get a boat like this, if we don't pull you out to help this time, maybe you can get a boat like this during this time!" This time I went to Matsu, you can rest assured, follow our ship, the third brother and I can't let you suffer a big loss! You just need to help us resist the back and sides of the buttocks, and don't let the people of Chaojianglong give us a cold breath when the time comes! ”

Wang Hong looked at Fang An with a little surprise and said with a smile: "Old Five, you are a little different from the past today!" There are so many words! Not bad! It seems that you guy can also see that Brother Yu is a friend enough! Brother Yu, you can also see that the fifth brother usually sees people, but he has never said so much, he can say so much, it can be seen that he also treats you as a friend! Hehe! ”

Yu Xiaotian hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The two brothers are in love!" Yu can be regarded as a friend by you, it is really a blessing for three lives! ”

Fang An smiled and waved the iron hook in his left hand and said, "We can't be considered living anymore!" This time I came to Treasure Island, I have seen the ability of Yu Dang, don't look at our shark people, but I can find a person to compare with Yu Dangjia, there is really no! I am like this, I admire a good man the most, since Yu Dangjia regards us as a friend, I naturally take Yu Dang as a friend! ”

Yu Xiaotian understands the psychology of people like Fang An very well, people like them have strong self-esteem, and they usually don't easily treat other people as friends, but once they are regarded as friends by him, this kind of person is very righteous, so now seeing that Fang An and him are starting to become close, Yu Xiaotian is also very happy.

Originally, he is also the kind of person who is righteous, he used to like to make friends, after arriving here, he has to hold it in front of his subordinates all day long, and he also hopes to have a few friends, Wang Hong is a good friend, and this Fang An seems to be not bad, many friends and many ways, especially now that he is just starting out, it is indispensable to have some friends to help him.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Yu Xiaotian told Wang Hong and Fang An some reasons why he kept his boat so clean, and pointed out that the sanitation situation on Wang Hong's boat was really too bad, and suggested that they should pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

Wang Hongha said with a smile: "I am so virtuous, I can't be clean!" It's more comfortable to look messy! When I get on your ship, I feel cramped and uncomfortable when I see that everything on your ship is clean! ”

Fang An nodded and said, "Third brother, what Yu Dangjia said makes sense, but our boat is a little dirty!" Over the years, there have been many people on the ship who have fallen ill, and many brothers have died. This is mixed at sea all year round, and this ship is almost like home, and it is more comfortable to clean up! At least there are fewer lice and fleas, and you can sleep peacefully! ”

Yu Xiaotian didn't persuade Wang Hong too much, this kind of thing Wang Hong will definitely not take to heart, talking too much will make him unhappy, in the future, he will lose more in this regard, and naturally know that what he said is correct.

"This time, I don't know how many men and ships the Daogui Gang dispatched to Matsu to find the bad luck of the mixed river dragon? Have you ever been there with Zhang's family? Yu Xiaotian saw that he was talking about the same, so he brought the conversation to the point.

Hearing Yu Xiaotian's question, Wang Hong and Fang An's faces immediately sank, Wang Hong hesitated for a moment and then sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "This time, our big boss didn't go out in person, it was all the damn guy surnamed Zhao!" What did he say...... Never mind! Don't mention it!

This time it was our second brother who went out, and I went to the fifth, the seventh and the eighth, the second brother's three boats, my two, the fifth's two, the seventh with one, the eighth one, we went to a total of nine boats, a total of nearly 300 people, plus you and a few other friends in this area, it is estimated that there are five or six boats, basically it's about the same! ”

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard this, he felt a little wrong, and secretly calculated in his heart, it stands to reason that this time Zhang Hu went north to find the bad luck of the mixed river dragon, and he should pour out of the nest, concentrate on the strength, and beat the mixed river dragon down at once, at least once he will hit the mixed river dragon hard, let the mixed river dragon shrink back to Funing, and dare not go south to find trouble in a short time.

But listening to Wang Hong's words, this time Zhang Hu did not concentrate his strength, but only took out a part of his strength to go north to Matsu, with his current strength, such strength is probably only less than half of his total strength, even if he adds a small group of pirates like himself who went to help, there are only a dozen ships in total.

And if he is not mistaken, the mixed river dragon has already concentrated more than a dozen ships a year ago, not to mention the number of ships that continue to increase during this time, if the mixed river dragon transfers ships south during this time, they will not have any advantage in the strength of going to Matsu this time.

"This ...... Isn't this ship a little bit less? Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, and couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, feeling that it might not be a good thing to follow this time! At present, it seems that it is really difficult to say!
