Just when Xiaotian led his troops to wait for Chu Cailao to arrive in the eastern part of Nanri Island, Liu Laoliu, who stayed in the wolf's den in early February, suddenly sent someone to the camp in the east of the island and told Yu Xiaotian that Chu Cailao had sent a subordinate and brought a boat to the wolf's den on Nanri Island and asked to see Yu Xiaotian.

When Yu Xiaotian heard the news, he couldn't help but feel very surprised, because what he was waiting for was not Chu Cailao to send someone to negotiate with him, but waiting for Chu Cai's boss to make a move, wanting to take this opportunity to give Chu Cailao a dismount, so that he could make a name for himself on the Daming Sea.

And according to what he had previously found about Chu Cailao's character, Chu Cailao was heroic in his initial debut, good at making friends, and he was also righteous and wealthy, and he was sleek and thoughtful, so among his peers, he quickly established a wide range of contacts, and quickly grew up, attracting many pirates to defect to him, making him a giant at sea in a few years.

But over the years, Chu Cailao's temperament has gradually changed with the expansion of his strength, from the previous bold and chivalrous, to a little stubborn, and there is no one in his eyes.

And he has also become a little narrow-minded, and he will repay him, relying on his strength, many people, and some of his peers around him are no longer as good to meet as before, as long as someone is slightly unhappy with him, he likes to use force to suppress people, solve it by force, either drive out the people who offend him, or force him to surrender to him.

And when he plundered with his men, the means became more and more cruel, and he used to pick some rich people to start with, but now once he landed, regardless of men, women, and children, as long as there was a place on the boat, he would take them away, and the places where his men haunted, now even the fishermen did not dare to set foot in the easy way to go fishing, this person was extremely destructive to the coastal places, and the surrounding counterparts were still happy to deal with him, but now everyone mentioned him and talked about it, and avoided it.

This time, he sent a smuggling fleet to attack Chu Cailao's ships on a large scale, in retaliation for Chu Cailao's unruly murder of his sea wolf's merchant ships, and deliberately spread the news that this matter was committed by him a year ago, the purpose is very simple, that is, to plan to fight with this guy, one is to test his current strength through this fight, whether it is appropriate for him to lead troops in this way, and the other purpose is to play his sea wolf majesty and make his name through this battle with Chu Cailao, so as to make a name for himself.

But he didn't expect Chu Cailao to let him get his wish this time, the big attack he was expecting didn't happen at all, but instead sent a subordinate to bring a boat over, seeing that he wanted to talk to him first.

The leaders of those subordinates who were training in the temporary camp in the east of the island were also greatly deflated when they heard the news, and they couldn't help but scold one by one, scolding Chu Cailao for being a plague chicken, holding it for so long, and actually laying a soft egg!

Yu Xiaotian waved his hand to let the subordinates who reported the news go down first, touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then smiled at Wang Hong and the others: "It seems that this Chu Cai Lao is not an impulsive person, but we think of him too simply!" He didn't dare to be as arrogant as we thought, but he still saw something, so he didn't follow our wishes, and rushed over directly with his subordinates!

If my expectations are correct, he sent someone this time, firstly, to probe our reality, and secondly, to give us a salute before the soldiers!

In this case, you don't have to be disappointed, what should come will always come, let's beat him like this, I don't believe that he Chu Cai Lao can endure this breath, now so many people have already known that the sneak attack on his ghost ship was sent by us, if he doesn't get back some scenes, who will care about him Chu Cai Lao in the future?

I'll go and meet the messenger he sent first, and see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd, in short, he won't get his wish, Chu Cailao can't get what he wants, he will always come, and you won't work in vain for so long!

Wang Hong, Ma Xiao......"

Wang Hong and Ma Xiao heard Yu Xiaotian call their names, so they immediately bowed down and hugged their fists together: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"There are two people here who are in charge for me for the time being, these brothers have also worked hard, let the big guy rest for two days tomorrow, change washing and changing clothes, and improve the food, I am not here, you continue to practice, the current fleet cooperation is still a little rusty, the response speed of the ships to the command flag order is not fast enough, so it is easy to have unexpected chaos in wartime!

In addition, the level of the ship's operation and the level of the brothers on the ship are uneven, and many of the brothers on the ship still need to be improved, so don't think that we are already amazing now! There can be no complacency, and tomorrow you will choose the best boat on both sides of the red and blue sides, and give a reward!

These two ships can be awarded the Pioneer Flag! Each boat will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver, and one additional vacation will be given during the year! To show appreciation, I hope all of you will encourage! ”

Wang Hong and Ma Xiao immediately hugged their fists when they heard the order and said: "The subordinates take the order!" ”

Turning his head, Wang Hong was happy, and said to the others: "Chu Cai is a soft egg, let's take a rest first, it's a lot of grinding!" Tomorrow, the big guys will be able to take a breath! Tomorrow night, I, Wang Laosan, will take out my purse and invite you to drink! Brothers, you want to be face-giving! ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

It was his Master Zhou who was sent by Chu Cai to see Yu Xiaotian, this Master Zhou set off by boat from Dongshan Island a few days ago, and came to Nanri Island, and stopped at Kinmen Island on the way, specifically looking for the subordinate of the shopkeeper Xiao, and learned in detail about the battle they had with three ghost ships in the eastern waters of Kinmen Island that day.

In addition, when I arrived in Quanzhou, I stopped in Quanzhou for a while, found a few local businessmen, and inquired about the news of the sea wolf.

As soon as his boat appeared in the waters around Meizhou Bay, he was immediately targeted by the sea wolf's patrol boat, and as soon as his boat entered the waters around Cormorant Island, it was immediately stopped by the sea wolf's patrol boat.

Master Zhou This is the first time he has seen the Sea Wolf Tribe, when he saw the Sea Wolf Tribes in uniform clothes, and these Sea Wolf Tribes are all in the prime of life, all of them are in the prime of life, and they all have a fierce posture, and their faces show a kind of pride, compared with other peers he has seen, there is a huge difference in temperament.

He has also seen a lot of officers and soldiers and even the officers and soldiers of the naval division, but after collecting these peers and officers and soldiers in his impression, he did not find a company comparable to these sea wolf tribes, if the sea wolf tribes are still thieves, he is a little afraid to agree, because although these people are thieves, but between advance and retreat, they are more like soldiers, and even compared with the most elite officers and soldiers in the two Guangxi and Fujian areas at present, they are not inferior.

This surprised this Master Zhou, and after confirming the rumors he heard, he felt that this sea wolf was really unusual.

The sea wolf patrol ship that stopped his ship is a small bird boat, this kind of boat is mostly used for short-distance transportation or as a large fishing boat in the coastal area, the speed is relatively fast in the light load state, and it can withstand a certain degree of wind and waves, so it is also a kind of ship that pirates like to use, among the sea wolves, this kind of ship is not strong enough because of its small size, but it has a certain advantage in speed, so it is used as a patrol ship, mainly responsible for patrolling the sea area and channel controlled by the sea wolf, and generally does not participate in important wars.

This kind of ship was not incorporated into the three major sub-fleets, but was organized in a separate group of more than 20 patrol ships in addition to the three major sub-fleets, which were scattered to patrol and use in various waterways.

Therefore, this kind of ship armament is average, and it is not like the main warship, and it is also uniformly equipped with new artillery, which is not that Yu Xiaotian is reluctant to replace these ships with new guns, but because the hull structure of these ships is thin, even if they are transformed and strengthened, it is difficult to withstand the recoil of the new guns, if they are forcibly reequipped, these ships may only have one or two chances to fire, and after a few cannons, the hull will basically crack and disintegrate on its own.

Therefore, it was impossible for these cruisers to be equipped with new guns, but in order to increase their strength, many of the old guns that had been dismantled were added to these ships.

The sea wolf's cruiser that stopped Master Zhou's ship was fully equipped with four Baizi guns on both sides of the deck, and a small platform was strengthened at the bow position, and a No. 3 Furlong cannon was installed, that is, a slightly lighter Furlong cannon weighing more than 100 catties, which was relatively more powerful than the small Franc cannon, and the power was not too small in close combat, and some ships were even equipped with six bowl-mouth guns or hundred-gun guns, such force to deal with ordinary armed merchant ships, It's still quite abundant.

And although these cannons are already considered to be second-line eliminated artillery in the sea wolf, these guns that have been retained have been carefully selected, which can basically ensure the safety of use, and when they are re-installed, the inner chamber of some of the guns has been carefully polished and bored to make their safety better.

Such a number of artillery pieces, even compared with the warships of some sailors, is not inferior, who makes the sea wolf now rich and playful with such a guy?

After Master Zhou revealed his identity, there was no conflict between the two sides, and Master Zhou also made it clear that he was going to Nanri Island this time, on behalf of Chu Cailao to meet Yu Xiaotian, the big boss of the sea wolf, so the patrol ship that stopped him did not embarrass them, and directly "escorted" them to Nanri Island.

On the way, Master Zhou carefully observed the patrol ship of the sea wolf that monitored him, of course he was familiar with this kind of bird boat, and what he was most concerned about was whether there was the kind of red cannon he was worried about on the ship of this kind of sea wolf.

When the two sides approached just now, the sea wolf's patrol ship maintained a high degree of alert, and the gun suits of each gun on the ship were all uncovered, and after learning that this ship was Chu Cailao's ship, the sea wolf troops on the ship always kept them on guard and did not relax their vigilance, so the gun jackets of the ship's guns were not covered again.

This also gave Master Zhou a chance to observe it up close, and after carefully observing it, Master Zhou was a little relieved, but at the same time a little worried.

Because according to his observation, the ship of the sea wolf was not equipped with the kind of red cannon he was worried about, which seemed to him to be a good news, at least it meant that the sea wolf did not have enough red cannon to equip all his ships, and he did not know that these patrol ships of the sea wolf were not equipped with new guns, not because they could not afford to install them, but because the hull structure limited them from using new guns, but because he mistakenly thought that the sea wolf did not have enough red cannons.

But what worries him is that this bird boat is not a good ship in itself, not even a big ship, but the sea wolf is like a rich man, in such a small boat, there are six or seven "cannons" of all kinds, although these cannons are not too good things, but put them there, even if it is Chu Cailao's big fortune boat, that is, this bird boat is forced to install three or four more guns, at best, it is just a little bit bigger.
