Haikou Port is a rare prosperous place in the whole Qiongzhou, of course, it cannot be compared with Yangzhou and Guangzhou, but in this desolate Qiongzhou Mansion, it is already a first-class place.

The two seagoing vessels purchased in Sanya Bay are both galleys and can transport goods, but they are more used as coast guard ships, which can be regarded as armed merchant ships.

At this time, in the world, I am afraid that only Zhao Hengyi and his subordinates have mastered the application technology of artillery, so whether it is the naval divisions and navies of various countries, or those pirates who crisscross the seven seas, in the naval battle, most of the time they have to rely on the jumping gang to decide the winner.

As a modern person, even if the ship you buy is not suitable for sea combat, let alone the ships used by pirates that are specially used for sea fighting, it is essential to carry out some magic changes.

The practicality of the conscienceless cannon, that is, the flying thunder cannon, was greatly reduced at sea, and at the same time, Zhao Hengyi was unwilling to let the artillery enter the world's attention so early, so this kind of big killing weapon was temporarily hidden.

In the smelting workshop, a research team led by Wu Ren was studying how to adapt the flying thunder cannon to combat at sea.

Once the research team led by Wu Ren makes a breakthrough in technology, then in this era when there are wooden ships floating on the seas all over the world, as long as the naval forces to be built in Sanya Bay in the future do not sink their own ships, then they will become invincible sea hegemons!

The two pulp sailboats that Zhao Hengyi led the A Battalion and the B Battalion to Haikou were not equipped with artillery, but were equipped with trebuchets and bed crossbows that could turn freely.

Compared to the bed crossbow that only the most luxurious warships can equip with, the trebuchet is the most cost-effective weapon for naval warfare.

The power of the bed crossbow is huge, and the special crossbow arrows used are extremely destructive, but this thing was never used in naval warfare in the first place!

The bed crossbow is not easy to build, the cost is extremely high, even the crossbow arrows used are worth a lot, it is difficult to recover the used crossbow arrows in naval battles, even with Zhao Hengyi's extravagance, it is impossible to let go of his hands and feet, and the ship is all lined with bed crossbows!

In addition, if the bed crossbow wants to hit the target accurately, it must be when the wind and waves are calm, the sea is not as good as the land, and the identity of the new Ding who trains these people to fight at sea in the Qiongzhou regiment wants to use the bed crossbow to hit the target on the undulating sea, unless the distance between the two ships is pulled to a very close distance!

In this way, it is somewhat a waste of the ultra-long attack distance of this big killing weapon, but even so, Zhao Hengyi has not given up cultivating crossbowmen who specialize in using bed crossbows, although these people seem to be a little chicken at the moment, but once they accumulate enough experience, once the breakthrough team led by Wu Ren makes a breakthrough, then these crossbowmen will quickly transform into gunners!

The bed crossbow is only a temporary transitional weapon, but in the production of crossbow arrows, Zhao Hengyi did not lower the requirements, on the contrary, crossbow arrows were divided into many types.

There are metal crossbow arrows used in sieges, which are full of weight and extremely stable during flight, and in this era, once hit by such metal crossbow arrows, those wooden ships will inevitably suffer a devastating blow, which is called armor-piercing crossbow arrows.

There is also a kind of gunpowder mixed with a large amount of ignition in it, and the stability is difficult to describe, but once it is detonated normally, it tears the enemy's ship from the inside! Although it could not reach the power and lethality of the artillery of later generations, in this era when all ships were made of wood, this mass killing weapon, named the Burst Crossbow Arrow, once it was introduced, would become a nightmare for all those who begged for a living at sea!

On the contrary, it is the gang-jumping tactic that is more popular at sea nowadays, and Zhao Hengyi is not too interested.

has insight far beyond this era, so that Zhao Hengyi can rely on his own forward-looking and not take detours in the process of development.

In the ocean of the future, it will inevitably be a world of strong ships and sharp guns, and the brave and ruthless gang jumping tactics will gradually be abandoned by the times.

It's just that at present, Sanya Bay is not qualified to completely abandon the training of gang jumping tactics, of course, most of the training content focuses on how to guard against the enemy's gang jumping.

After all, all the ships in Sanya Bay are equipped with a large number of small, free-turning trebuchets that can not only throw clay pots filled with fire oil and other igniting objects at enemy ships, but can even throw ignited gunpowder packets onto enemy ships if the advance is calculated!

In the era when everyone used wooden ships, Zhao Hengyi and his Qiongzhou regimental training were almost bug-like existences, whether on land or on the sea, these guys had the means to easily crush the enemy!

And this advantage, with the continuous construction and expansion of the Sanya Bay base, will continue to widen the distance.

Maybe until one day, when the world once again turned its attention to Zhao Hengyi and his men, they found that they could only look up.

When the two ships from Sanya Bay arrived at Haikou Port, what appeared in everyone's field of vision could only be regarded as a dilapidated small seaport.

Accustomed to the prosperous scene of cargo ships coming and going in Sanya Port, whether it was Zhao Hengyi or his Qiongzhou Tuanlian, they couldn't help but feel disappointed in Haikou Port, the most prosperous place on the boundary of Qiongzhou Prefecture.

If a sea vessel wants to enter the port, it must be approved by the official on the shore and guided by a special person.

But Zhao Hengyi was originally here to make trouble, so he naturally ignored these rules, and under his order, two not small pulp sailing ships rushed straight into the harbor, and the small boats that were waiting for the tax collectors to collect taxes in the harbor were almost sunk!

This style caused an uproar at the scene!

With the rise of the surrounding port of Guangzhou and several other ports, Qiongzhou, which is too sparsely populated and geographically insufficient, is declining more and more, and the same is true of this Haikou port, which has long since lost the grand occasion of a hundred or ten years ago.

But the more it decays and withers, the more unbelievable bad rules will appear.

The so-called temple is small and the wind is big, and the water is shallow, which is the best portrayal of the current situation of Haikou Port.

The officials who manage Haikou Port are insatiable, and they have no credibility at all, and if they give gifts on the front foot, the merchant ships on the back foot will be seized when they enter the port, and the officials are ruthless, and it seems that there are naturally fewer people doing business in Haikou Port.

In addition, the officials of the port are extremely slippery, and secretly supporting or directly employing some Li people as helpers is a thug, and on the territory of Qiongzhou Prefecture, once the Li people are provoked, it often means that there is constant trouble.

Therefore, those businessmen who had to come to Haikou Port to do business dared not speak out against the officials of the port.

Now the ship broke directly into the port, and the big thorn stopped on the pier, and many people secretly clapped their hands and shouted!

Someone who comes is obviously not a good kind!

These officials in the port are afraid that they are in trouble today!
