Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Sea Wolf Hunts

Suddenly, a cannon rang out on the calm sea, and the chaotic crackling of cannons in the bore crackled on a boat, and some cannons fell on the sea, causing a splash.

After another half a month of training, the young sea wolves finally embarked on their pirate journey for the first time, and finally found their first target in the southern sea off Fuzhou.

Everyone on board was both excited and a little nervous, more than a month ago, most of them were either a group of people who could only farm and fish, or they could only operate the boat, but a month later, they had turned into pirates of the sea, and had the name of a sea wolf.

After they went through many hardships and dangers to find Treasure Island, and as soon as they settled down, Yu Xiaotian began a ten-day hellish training for these guys.

In the past ten days, this group of people had to get up before dawn, first followed Yu Xiaotian, around the beach of Treasure Island, more than two laps of running, in order to exercise their physical fitness, and then after breakfast, they had to board their brig, under the guidance of Liu Laoliu and Hu Cheng, according to the previous division of labor and shifts to train the operation of the ship.

In the afternoon, these people have to return to the island to conduct basic combat training, as for those who are designated as soldiers, their main duty is to do the most dangerous hand-to-hand combat work, so for their requirements, Yu Xiaotian is more strict, regardless of morning and afternoon, they have to catch each other on the boat or on the beach with wooden guns or wooden knives and shields, and carry out combat training, everyone is also forced to be required to choose one of the bows and arrows and firearms for practice, Yu Xiaotian didn't expect to be able to train them to be marksmen in a short period of time, but at least they needed to pick up bows and arrows, shoot back, use firearms, and be able to reload and fire, which was already the most basic requirement.

In addition, in order to train this group of guys to maintain the stability of their bodies on the rocking boat, Yu Xiaotian also made some planks hanging on the ropes on the beach according to some things in the movies and television he had watched before, and forced these people to stand on the planks and grab the ropes to fight each other.

In short, in the past ten days, all the men on the island, including a few old guys, were tossed half to death by Yu Xiaotian.

Everyone was beaten and bumped on the body when training, a piece of blue and a purple, not to mention that there was nothing to do at night and get together to chat and fart, after everyone had dinner, they all had to gather together to summarize the training situation of the day, and those who were good in training would be praised by name, but those who were not good in training would be punished, at least to run around the island for more than one lap.

When it was time for them to rest, almost as soon as they lay down, they immediately snored, and no one had time to think about women.

Almost everyone was a little miserable about this, and they wanted to protest, but they were immediately speechless when Yu Xiaotian said with various big truths, so they could only continue to practice honestly.

The only thing that made these people feel a little relieved was that Yu Xiaotian promised them that in two months, the five most well-trained among them would get the wife of their dreams, and such a reward could be described as a very tempting reward for this group of descendants.

Therefore, the young descendants had to grit their teeth and hold their breath for this reason, wanting to become the first lucky people on the island to have a woman, so after more than ten days, no one was trained by Yu Xiaotian to lie down, and they all gritted their teeth and survived.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also decided to improve the lives of everyone, changing the two meals a day that they were used to before, to three meals a day, not to mention the dry meals, and there are fish to eat, anyway, in the east of Treasure Island, it is a very good natural fishing ground, plus the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, the number of fishing boats is very small, the fishery resources at sea are very, very rich, every morning before the end of the boat training, they will go down a net on the sea, and they can catch a lot of fish every time, and they don't plan to exchange fish for money anyway, Therefore, they were all taken by Yu Xiaotian to improve the quality of life of everyone, so as to ensure the energy required for everyone's heavy exercise, and also improve their physique.

Of course, the reason why these guys can survive is also inseparable from Yu Xiaotian's proximity, he Yu Xiaotian is now the big boss of this group of people, but he didn't make a little special because of this, since he got up in the morning, he has been following these guys, what they do, Yu Xiaotian will follow what to do, and they have to pay more than them, and the physical strength consumed is two or three times greater than them.

People are actually like this, there are leaders as role models, and the rest of the people are very tired, there is nothing to say, things are laid out here, everyone in charge can do it, what else can't they do these minions? So although this kind of drill made these guys cry out that they couldn't stand it, they all persevered.

The luckiest ones are probably only Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi and the two offspring, they agreed on that day early the next morning, they got on the small fishing boat, left Treasure Island again, went to Lianjiang County, and went to the Li family to discuss the shipment.

Therefore, a few of them escaped the hellish training on Treasure Island in the past ten days, but Yu Xiaotian said first, after they came back, in addition to Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi, the two juniors still had to make up for the training they lacked before.

After more than ten days like this, although these people are basically still a rabble, at least they have made great progress compared to before, especially for this brig, they are basically familiar with the operation, plus Liu Laoliu, Hu Cheng, Liu Tong, these old crew members, they can basically effectively operate this brig.

The other seven or eight guys who were selected as soldiers, after more than ten days of training, have also grown a lot in their kung fu, and when they caught and killed, they began to look like themselves, and they were familiar with Yu Xiaotian's password, and they knew that they should act according to the order, and they were no longer as chaotic as before.

Originally, Yu Xiaotian's idea was that if they wanted to go to sea to plunder, they would have to go through at least two months of strict training, but these guys on the island were very opposed to this, thinking that they could do it now, and it was not a way to practice like this every day, so they asked to go out and try their skills.

Even Ma Yan, who has not interfered with him much, actually raised objections to Xiaotian's plan, thinking that since they do this business, they always don't do anything, and they just practice on Treasure Island every day, which is not a way, they can go out to try their hands, and in addition, their current food stocks are about to run out, and if they don't go to do it, it is estimated that they will only be able to live by eating fish in the future.

After Yu Xiaotian thought about it for a while, he had to agree to their request, because although he is nominally the helmsman now, his position cannot be said to be completely stable, Ma Yan and Meng Maniac and others still have a lot of influence in this group of people, he sometimes has to consider the ideas of these old guys, and he must make certain compromises when necessary.

In addition, at the moment, these guys, especially young people, are in a stage where they are dissatisfied with a bottle of water, half a bottle of water, and the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they always suppress their desires, which is not necessarily a good thing, and they can let them test their level by themselves when necessary.

So after Yu Xiaotian thought about it comprehensively, he agreed to everyone's request, and only then did he have this action to go to sea.

Recently, there have been two more storms at sea, the weather has just improved, and the weather has begun to cool down with the arrival of autumn, and the wind direction at sea has gradually begun to change to the northwest wind, so it is the best time for the ships from the south to go north.

So under the guidance of Liu Laoliu, they went out to sea, straight to a route that often has merchant ships, after a day of searching, this day just dawn, climbed on the mast as a bucket Liu Wang, pointed to the sea in the distance, shouted to the people on the boat.

"There are boats! There is a boat ahead! There's a boat to the southwest of us! Ha Lu Ha! Look! ”

After hearing this, everyone immediately flocked to the starboard side of the boat, stretched their necks and looked in the direction of Liu Wang's finger, and after a while, they found the sail shadow of a sailboat appearing in their eyes.

Yu Xiaotian said in his heart that their luck was not bad, so he loudly ordered the sail to turn the rudder and began to meet the sailboat.

After the two sides approached, after some identification by Liu Laoliu, an old sea wolf, they confirmed that the ship was indeed a merchant ship of a maritime merchant, so Yu Xiaotian gave the order, raised their flag, and began to turn the rudder again, pounced on the unlucky merchant ship.

In order to make their name, according to the habits of pirates, each group of pirates will have their own flag, Xiao Dazui's flag is a clean black flag, and some people will hang green flags or flags of other colors, after Yu Xiaotian pondered for a while, he originally wanted to simply make a skeleton flag commonly used by Western pirates, but after thinking about it, he is an authentic Chinese, why do he have to learn from Western pirates?

So after thinking about it in detail, he chose an indigo cloth they had on hand as their banner, but in order to distinguish them from the identity of others, he personally drew a wolf's head, although his painting skills were average, but after careful modification and rework, and then many revisions, he still let him draw a more vivid shape of the wolf's head.

After that, he asked the women on the island to embroider his hand-painted wolf head on an indigo blue cloth with gold thread, so that a striking golden wolf head jumped on a piece of blue cloth, and made a flag of their own, and after looking at it carefully, Yu Xiaotian was also very satisfied, so the flag of the golden wolf head on a blue background also looked quite majestic, and the wolf head with teeth grinning and mouth open and fangs was very fierce, which made people unforgettable, if he did it well enough, Then in the future, he believed that this golden wolf flag would definitely become famous, so he was completely sure that they would use this flag as their banner for a long time to come.

When the first wolf head flag, representing their sea wolf, was raised on the ship's mainmast, everyone on the island couldn't help but be very excited.

From their birth to the present, many people have never gathered under a flag to become a group, and this wolf head flag has become a flag that unites them, which makes everyone have an inexplicable sense of belonging, and some people even feel that this flag has become the most important thing in their lives at that moment.

Yu Xiaotian even loudly announced that when they have this sea wolf flag, they will always gather under this flag, the flag is in the people, and the flag is dead! This reinforces the sense of dependence of each of them on the group.

When the sea wolf flag was raised, everyone on the ship cheered up, and immediately followed the instructions of Yu Xiaotian, the helmsman, and began to run to their respective positions.

Meng Maniac, the commander of the soldier, screamed with excitement, directly threw off the clothes on his body, revealed his lean ribs, grabbed a single knife, and shouted loudly to order his soldiers to pick up the guy and prepare to do it.
