0478 Visit the new ship

But at this moment, the two pirate ships actually set sail and began to sail towards Liugong Island! Liu Guangting and the old pirate suddenly breathed a sigh of relief! Liu Guangting said: "These two rammers are quite sensible, otherwise when the sun sets, they will probably be greeted by gunboats!"

The old pirate leader nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay! It's finally in time!"

Once the two pirates were ashore, the sun gave one last glow and fell below the surface, which meant the end of the day!

Later, when the two pirates came over to greet everyone with a smile, they were directly kicked to the ground by Liu Guangting! Before the anger in these two men's stomachs could start, they were explained by the old pirate! After they listened to it, they realized that they really escaped death!

After the two of them got up, they thanked Liu Guangting vigorously, saying that if it wasn't for the dragon leader to send someone to persuade them, maybe they would be killed while still hesitating! Hearing their words, the other pirates were much more respectful to Liu Guangting, and they already had some dragon head majesty under their backdrop!

However, as soon as Liu Guangting lectured them, he saw someone walking over with a lantern, and the person who came said loudly, "Who of you here is effective in talking?"

When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the one who sent the message at noon, so everyone looked at Liu Guangting. Seeing this, Liu Guangting stepped forward and said, "This little brother, here is the final say!"

The man looked him up and down and said, "Since you have the final say, then you can arrange for some people to go with me to get supplies."

After saying this, the master looked at the two pirate leaders who had logged in at the end, and said with a sneer, "You two are lucky! A moment later, my marshal will order a siege!"

These words scared those two people so much that they couldn't even speak! Liu Guangting hurriedly played the round and said, "This brother, how many people do you think we should send to put it appropriate?"

Jia Ding said, "Send ten people from each ship, and directly carry back all the supplies needed for these three days."

Liu Guangting immediately turned around and gave orders, and those pirate leaders also obeyed the order and quickly named people from their own families. Gather together and be taken away by the family.

When they were far away, the pirate leaders called the two men who had landed last. Surrounded by two people and ridiculed! The two men wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads while arching around to pass this section.

That night, the pirates were worried about the surprise attack of the official army, and almost half of them did not sleep all night. Although they were on the alert, they were still relatively quiet. But when the lights out signal sounded from the officers and soldiers on the other side, it was really silent, and there was no sound! Look at those pirates stunned! Look at the book

At this time, Liu Guangting sneered and said to the pirate leaders who stayed up all night in the tent: "You people, what can you do if you are careful? The opposite side is full of elite soldiers, and it is just a charge to break us up! So don't worry, let's go to bed!"

The pirate leaders turned red with shame one by one, and then ordered all of them to rest. Only a few remained on guard guard. But it was no surprise that the night was spent safely.

Wait until dawn the next day. The pirates were awakened by a wake-up call, and only after scolding and scolding got up did they think clearly that they were not in the pirates' cottage now, but on Liugong Island, and they converged one by one!

Before they could come to their senses, there were already shrill whistles in the camp opposite! Then there was a dense sound of footsteps, which frightened the pirates to wake up in an instant! There were also many people who directly pulled out their knives, looking like they were ready to fight, and there was chaos in the camp!

As a result, after waiting for a while, I found that the official army was just doing morning exercises, so I wiped my sweat and withdrew my weapons! Seeing this kind of scene, Liu Guangting had to scold again, driving the pirates to hurry up and prepare breakfast.

Just after breakfast, the housekeeper came to deliver the message last night. He took a warrant and handed it to Liu Guangting and said, "With this warrant, you can go to the dock and see the new warship. However, it can only be viewed from the periphery, and it is not allowed to board the ship. And there's another drill later. You can board other boats and watch."

When we hear that there is a drill, we know that the horse is coming! But they also want to know what the new ship will look like and how powerful it will be. So they all urged Liu Guangting to leave quickly.

When they arrived at the dock and handed over their orders, sure enough, soldiers guided them to see the new ship. Before they could get close to the ship, the pirates were already discussing the ship's situation! One of the most concerning problems was that they did not see the artillery on the deck! So this time there is a chance to observe closely, be sure to take a closer look.

Before they get closer, the first thing that catches their eye is the rolled up canvas! There are many pirates who have seen Western ships and are very familiar with this kind of soft sail!

The characteristics of this kind of sail are that it has a large area and is well affected by the wind, so the speed of the fleet is relatively high! But there is also a disadvantage, that is, once there is a breach, the power will drop quickly! Unlike Chinese hard sails, a few holes are punched to not affect the speed at all!

To be honest, Miss Zhang has worked hard to make this kind of canvas! Because this canvas is something that has never been done in China before, it can only be studied from scratch!

Miss Zhang gathered a large number of weavers and embroiderers to study together, and it took a long time to study the production method of canvas and establish a new workshop! As a result, the first products of the workshop were used on this ship!

When they got closer to the ship, they realized that it was much taller than their usual sea boats! When they got closer, they habitually began to estimate the combat effectiveness of the ship, and began to talk about it.

And the sailors on the ship lay on the side of the ship, pointing at them condescendingly. But he didn't do anything else. Then one of the pirates said, "When this ship came from afar, I saw that there were no guns on deck. And now that there are so many small doors on the side of the ship, do you think there is a gun emplacement in the back?"

Another pirate said, "Not necessarily! Even the guns of those Western ships were placed on deck. I've never seen anything hidden in the cabin!"

The pirates thought this because they had never seen real Western warships, and now they were armed merchant ships traveling to and from China. Since it is a merchant ship, of course, it is mainly used to carry goods, so there is no artillery deck, and all self-defense guns are placed on the deck.
