These newly-built Feizi clippers are uniform size and style, with the previous ships launched, after such a long period of use, the defects of this kind of ship have now been basically discovered, and have been modified on the new ship, and more importantly, these ships are all operated by steering wheels, which makes it much more convenient to operate the boat, whether it is used for offshore patrols, or as a fast attack ship, and even can sail in the open ocean, with high flexibility.

If this kind of ship is a little too small, the displacement is not more than 100 tons at best, that is, about 70 tons, and it is not suitable for use as a main warship, it is not bad.

But fortunately, when this kind of ship is currently used by the Seawolf Group, the main opponent is not the large Western sailing ships such as the Clark or the Galen, which are currently the main ships of Western countries, but a large number of Chinese sailing ships off the coast of China.

Although the dhow is small, but its hull structure is very strong, the design is reasonable, and the ability to carry artillery is far more than the same period of Chinese sailing ships, and even the firepower of the Chinese sailing ship that is several times larger than him, can not suppress the firepower it has, coupled with its own fast speed and flexible advantages, to deal with a variety of Chinese sailing ships used by peers, it is simply a sharp weapon, Chu Cai Lao is the first victim, only three sloops, Chu Cai Lao and his men are embarrassed.

Recently, several such clippers have been sent by Yu Xiaotian to the sea in the Liangguang area to be used as smuggling ships, and their performance is even more outstanding, easily capturing many merchant ships, and replenishing a lot of usable merchant ships for the sea wolf.

Even if it encounters some slightly larger plywood ships commonly used by Europeans now, this light sloop is not necessarily afraid of them, because its speed is faster than these types of sail warships commonly used by Europeans now, and it is more flexible, although it may not be able to beat the opponent if it is put right, but it is no problem to run without beating, and it can also use the influence of the weather to repeatedly and quickly sneak attack the opponent, and if he can't bite him, he can also make the opponent embarrassed.

But if the numbers are superior, these clippers can take advantage of their own advantages to clean up the big plywood boats of the Europeans.

Therefore, under the current conditions, Yu Xiaotian believes that this kind of sloop is the weapon he needs most in naval warfare, not those large sail warships similar to the West, of course, if one day his strength has developed to a considerable extent, if he needs to sail around the world, that is another story, but at that time, he will not look down on these sail warships used by the Europeans now, and he will launch better sail warships, and may even "invent" a steam engine as the power of the ship, Or maybe the iron-hulled warship revolutionized the landscape of naval warfare.

Now the three boats on slipway 2 and 3 are nearing the end of construction, the hull has been completely formed, and after the mast and rudder are installed, they can hang up the sails for sea trials, and now the craftsmen on board are still putting the finishing touches on the ship, and have begun to clean up some of the debris and other debris left on the ship.

Yu Xiaotian's arrival made the craftsmen quickly stop what they were doing, and quickly knelt down to greet his arrival one by one, some of these craftsmen were recruited by sea wolves from the land, but a considerable number of them were forcibly kidnapped by forceful means.

For many people who came to Seawolf for the first time, they were shocked and scared at first, and they were very resentful of Xiaotian, but after arriving here and receiving a period of brainwashing and life, the attitude of these shipwrights has changed greatly.

Craftsmen in this era are untouchables, social status is very low, although with the craft can be mixed food, but life has always struggled near the poverty line, the quality of life is not at all, the craftsman with better craftsmanship by the owner's weight, life can still be better, the family can at least take care of food and clothing, if the owner is generous, can also have a little bit of savings.

But the vast majority of craftsmen are not up to such a level, the money they earn can only take care of their wives and children to eat half full, starve to death and pull down, a few years can not fill a decent new clothes, and a little careless, may also be unemployed, once unemployed, they will immediately become hungry, at any time there is a possibility of starvation.

Therefore, the life of the craftsmen on land is quite embarrassing, but after arriving at the sea wolf, they found that the first thing they eat has become much better, the food here is quite good (relatively speaking), they are full, and they are given three meals a day, and when they work for the shipyard on land, even if they are the main craftsmen, they can only manage two meals a day.

And the food here has oil and water, and you can eat meat from time to time, at least there are fish and shrimp to eat every three or five times, which they couldn't think of before, and the owner of the boat liao is reluctant to give them such a good meal to eat.

In addition to eating much better than before, they are also given clothes to wear, although they are also coarse cloth clothes, and the style is very simple, but these clothes are very strong and comfortable to wear, and once worn out, they can also trade in the old for the new, which makes them very surprised.

There is also in the sea wolf, once sick, there will be someone to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, even the medicine does not cost money, which in the past is even more unthinkable, when working on land, they have a small illness, is to say that they are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor in Langzhong, and to the pharmacy to grab medicine, generally carry hard, carry the past and pull down, can not carry it will become a serious illness, even if it is money, it is too late, many craftsmen are afraid to see because of illness, the most procrastinated illness can not afford to do the work, The whole family was immediately in a predicament.

But here in the sea wolf, once they get sick, they can immediately go to the infirmary to see Lang Zhong, the sea wolf's medical hall Lang Zhong will prescribe medicine for them, and will also give them a note, take the note to the ship's liao and hand it over to the person in charge, you can rest, and you will not deduct your salary, which is considered a paid vacation, which is even more unthinkable.

What's more, the sea wolves kidnapped them to work here, not to use them as slaves, to work here, according to their craftsmanship and the importance of the work they do, they will be paid on time, and then they will be paid on time every month, and here they are in charge of food, housing, and even clothing, and individuals basically don't spend any money, these wages can be saved, which is much higher than the previous wages.

When some of the craftsmen were kidnapped, they were just one person, and their families were still on land, and the sea wolves actually sent their wages back to the land and handed them over to their families, which could almost meet the needs of their families, at least there was no problem of having enough to eat.

In addition, the steward of the ship's dormitory told them that if they wished, the sea wolves could also take their families over, and their families could also work here, earn some wages, subsidize their families, and even give them a small piece of land for themselves, so that their families could plant some land and raise some chickens and ducks in their spare time, and they could also subsidize the family.

After these craftsmen benefited from the benefits here, naturally many people were willing to move their families here, so the sea wolf would send people to the land, according to the address they provided, find their families, take their families over, allocate them houses and land, and give them three taels of settling-in allowance, and even give them a stone of rice for cooking.

In this way, the craftsmen naturally felt at ease, and worked honestly here, and now they want them to go, but they are not willing to go, here they have a stable job, can support their families, have food, clothing, and a house to live in, and even if they are sick, there are people to see a doctor, even if they continue to work for the shipyard after they go back, they will not be able to mix up this life.

Of course, there are also a small number of craftsmen, who think that although the treatment of working here is good, but after all, the sea wolf is a thief, and they work here to be a thief, if they don't bring their families over, if the court comes to kill the sea wolf one day, even if they are caught, they can also be excused that they are coerced, so there are also some people who are unwilling to move their families here, for such people, the sea wolves do not force it, and continue to send their wages back to the land every month and hand them over to their families.

With these preferential conditions, the craftsmen of the shipyard are naturally motivated to do good, often in the morning as soon as they wake up, they begin to work on the ship, the craftsmen at this time are not as squeamish as the later generations, the later generations implement the eight-hour work system, a overtime will be bitter, at this time people do not have this concept, Yu Xiaotian probably calculated, every day the craftsmen in addition to eating and a little rest, the day is basically at least ten hours or more, when the summer days are long, even to do twelve hours.

During this time, the shipyard was in a hurry, and they had to fight at night, working overtime, sometimes even 14 hours, if it were for later generations, it is estimated that they would have resigned or sued the labor inspectorate!

"Everyone, please get up, don't be nervous! What should I do, let's do it, Yu is just coming over to take a look! Don't delay your work! Yu Xiaotian said to these kneeling craftsmen with a kind face, for these people, he rarely lost his temper, and the craftsmen were very satisfied with this young master who had seen Yu Xiaotian, so he quickly thanked him, got up and went to work.

Yu Xiaotian is also an expert, after getting on the ship, he checked everywhere, these ships have not changed much in structure compared to the first batch of ships, and the ship type has only been fine-tuned, but some places have been changed on this batch of ships, especially the hull bearing structure part, which has been strengthened to make it able to carry heavier guns.
