Of course, Qin Xiaobai is extremely welcome to this, whether it is a pirate or a rogue, as long as it is a friend, he welcomes it. He deliberately left the pirate leaders who were in his own way and took them to visit the various types of light and heavy fighting ships of the Zhoushui fleet.

"A heavy dhow, with a load of 120,000 catties and 60 tons, and 600 soldiers, is amazing!" I'm afraid my boat will sink for 60 people, haha. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled lightly, "This type of fighting ship is actually a small sailing ship, my subordinates are studying multi-masted sailing ships, and when the carrying capacity of the ship reaches 600 tons, or even 6,000 tons, then it is called a real ocean-going sailing ship." This Port of Arthur is the best deep-water port in the whole of Northeast China, and it is estimated that my brother's ship will not need such a depth, so I have to replace it and let it fully function. ”

I can do it, I smiled at Suhaha, "Brother Xiaobai said that he laughed, don't mention the past." It's better for you to occupy Lushun than to be occupied by those pirate gangs in Dalian, at least I don't have to worry about being attacked every day, and I can sleep soundly. ”

Qin Xiaobai also smiled: "Since I don't mind my brother, then I won't say anything." If my brother has anything to do in the future, just look for me. ”

I nodded again and again, and glanced at the gray crow next to me.

The gray crow comprehended and hurriedly said, "Ah, that's right. Little white boss, the fighting ships you produce are very powerful, we plan to buy one or two to have a good time, I don't know if you sell this fighting ship? ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled, these fighting ships are not for sale and are not sold to the public. However, he brought these pirate players to visit his ship today, but he had one purpose - to let this group of pirate players do something for him that was inconvenient for him to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't be idle to make friends with these pirate players. Therefore, he brought these pirates to visit the fighting ships because he deliberately asked these pirates to take the initiative to buy the fighting ships.

He smiled and said, "Sell, of course sell." But a fighter in the lightest class. It also costs 200,000 copper coins. As for the heavy fighting ships, 600,000 copper coins each. Are you sure you can afford it? ”

The pirate leaders almost bit their tongues in shock, 200,000 copper coins, how much does this cost?

The pirate leader did his own thing, and he quickly secretly calculated, and all the more than 7,000 NPC fishermen went out to sea to fish, and they could catch about 200,000 catties of fish a day. If you exchange these fish for copper coins and return the battleship, you should be able to afford 1 light battleship.

I went my own way and immediately said, "Little white brother." I don't have copper coins, but I have a lot of fishermen fishing. Anyway, your fleet needs food, and you see how about I use fish to pay for your fighting ships? ”

Qin Xiaobai was happy in his heart, his fleet of nearly 20,000 soldiers, all the food supplies needed needed to be transported from Tanggukou, and the sailing convoy's sailing back and forth on the Bohai Sea was not ordinarily large. It would be great if you could get supplies directly from the pirates, and save a lot of transportation trouble.

He smiled: "Of course, how many catties of fish can you give me every day?" ”

I went my own way: "As long as there is no storm." Try to ensure the supply of 10,000 catties per day, let's calculate according to the fish price in Xiangping market. 1 copper coin and 3 catties of fish. 150,000 catties of fish is 50,000 copper coins, and I will spend four days catching fish in exchange for your 1 light fighting ship. ”

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Xiangping is an inner 6 market, and the price of fish is naturally higher." It must be calculated according to the price of the coast and the price of Tanggukou. 1 copper coin and 5 catties of fish. 150,000 catties of ground fish is a total of 30,000 copper coins. So be it, I'll give you a discount. For every 6 days you supply, the total value of 180,000 copper coins is 180,000 copper coins, and I will give you a light fighting ship. ”

I smiled bitterly, knowing that I couldn't take advantage of the price, so I could only grit my teeth and nod my head in agreement.

In the end, the two sides negotiated the terms. I will supply 900,000 catties of fish in exchange for a light fighting ship of the Zhoushui Alliance.

This deal, everybody gets the benefits. Qin Xiaobai directly got rid of the trouble of food supply, and the grain transported from Tanggukou could be hoarded in Lushun as a long-term war reserve. In the event of a large-scale protracted war, the side with more food reserves will gain a strategic advantage. In addition, he also supported a group of pirates who were close to his own side, which was undoubtedly a long step for long-term control of the Bohai Sea.

And if he gets the light fighter, he will become the strongest pirate in the entire Bohai Circle, and it will be difficult for any other pirate gang to compete with him. In this way, he has a great deal of confidence in annexing other pirate gangs, growing himself up and acquiring more light fighting ships. This temptation is irresistible to him, which is why I want to get a fighting ship at any cost.

I had hoped to give him a light bucket ship first, and then he would deliver the fish in the next six days.

However, Qin Xiaobai refused this request on the grounds that the fleet formation could not be dismantled, and did not immediately hand over a light fighting ship to them. He told the pirate leaders that he planned to build a special light fighting ship for pirates for the pirates, so as to prevent others from confusing the pirate ship with the Zhou Fleet, and he would not be able to account for any future maritime disputes.

I had to agree to this approach. After all, the Zhoushui fleet is a regular fleet, and if the pirate ship is the same as the ship of the Zhoushui fleet, then it is easy for others to know their relationship. He didn't want others to know that his pirate ship was purchased from the Zhoushui Alliance, and the channel for buying the ship was just for his family to know, and there was no need for other pirates to know.

Qin Xiaobai then sent a light fighting ship back to Tanggukou and informed the entire alliance of the arrival of the Zhou Shui fleet in Lushun. In addition, the Zhoushui Shipyard was asked to secretly develop light fighting ships for pirates.

For the pirate fighter, it is required to be one beat slower than the Zhoushui fleet. In other words, the Zhoushui fleet can catch up with these pirate ships, and in case the pirate ships cause trouble, the Zhoushui fleet can be subdued. As for other performances, there are no other requirements, and the durability is the same as that of a standard fighting ship.

Qin Xiaobai knew very well in his heart that he and these pirates could only be regarded as two deals for each to take what they needed, and they were not allies or enemies. It is necessary to keep a hand on pirate groups.

He was not worried that this group of pirates would be unfavorable to him in the future, as long as he controlled the quantity and quality of the pirate ships, it would be easy to control these pirates.

After receiving the instructions, the Micai Qingniu of the Zhoushui Shipyard modified the bottom of the fighting ship on the basis of a lighter than standard fighting ship, which directly determines the speed of the ship's sailing. In addition, the hull wall was reshaped, the bow was changed to the shape of a shark's mouth, painted in bright red, white, blue, and black, and the canvas was painted to resemble a skull.

The overall structure of the fighting ship has not changed, but some details have been remodeled, and it does not cost much research funds, and after the makeover, a standard Corsair light fighting ship comes out. It's a little scary, but it's definitely what a pirate ship would like.

In the future, the pirate ships that will be needed will be produced according to this style.

The shipyard produced ten of these light pirate fighting ships one after another, carried a large amount of food, and quietly left Tanggukou in the middle of the night when no one was around, and sailed towards the Lushun Pass in Liaodong. After arriving at the Port of Arthur, the pirate ships were stored in warehouses.

In the past few days, I have been supplying fish to the Zhoushui Expeditionary Fleet stationed in Lushun as required.

Qin Xiaobai handed over one of the light pirate fighting ships to his own business.

I went my own way and waited for the pirate leader, and the pirate players almost went crazy with joy when they saw this light pirate fighting ship with an extremely powerful appearance. They leapt from a battered boat to a formidable light pirate ship, and it felt like they were on a rocket.

I climbed aboard the pirate light fighting ship, sat on the captain's throne in the building, and stroked the seat, feeling fluttering.

A pirate fighting ship, which is insignificant for the Zhou Shui fleet. But for those poor haha pirate players who have lived a hard life, it is a rare high-end item.

"Thank you so much!"

I can't help but say to Qin Xiaobai excitedly.

Qin Xiaobai smiled lightly: "No thanks, this is an equivalent exchange, and each has its own benefits." If you want to get more pirate ships, I suggest you kill the other pirates who have annexed Dalian, Dalian and other places as soon as possible, and get more NPCs, resources, and food from them, and exchange them for me. Then I'll give you more pirate ships! ”

I laughed out loud, "Haha, don't worry, little white brother, I know you want to swallow this piece of Dalian, I promise to make you absolutely satisfied!" ”
