After walking out of the council hall, Yu Xiaotian looked at the blue sky, his brows were tightly locked, and he was in a very bad mood.

When is Chu Cai going to attack Nanri Island, and how long will his attack tactics last? Yu Xiaotian couldn't guess that at the moment, he was completely passive in front of Chu Cailao's move, which was not in line with his style of acting, nor was it in line with his character, he preferred to take the initiative more often and use offense as the best defense.

But now that he found that his family business had grown, many things had begun to be less comfortable than before, and he always had too many concerns.

He has also considered it in the past two days, if it really doesn't work, it will be a big deal for him to take the initiative to attack, lead the fleet to kill Chu Cailao's lair on Dongshan Island, and directly find Chu Cailao to have a big battle.

But after he had this idea, he analyzed it carefully, but found that he had no good chance of winning in doing so.

Chu Cai Lao in the south of Quanzhou is not a day and a half of the time, he since the sea for the pirate, he is mainly active in this area, so in this area his potential can be said to be deep-rooted, once the sea wolf took the initiative to raise troops to Dongshan Island to find Chu Cai Lao desperately, Chu Cai Lao will occupy the right time, place and all the advantages, and he is easy to gather all the available strength to meet the sea wolf, with Chu Cai Lao's strength, although he is not superior in technique, but he occupies an absolute advantage in numbers.

No matter how powerful the Seawolf's fleet is, it can only bring the main ships over, and it is difficult for the auxiliary small ships to sail so far to participate in the battle, just this one, the Seawolf fleet will be completely disadvantaged.

Although small warships look inconspicuous on weekdays and their combat effectiveness is not good, once a large number of them are gathered, their energy changes and causes qualitative changes, which become the main factor in the victory or defeat of the sea.

Especially small ships such as Changlong and fast paddle boats, once there are enough of them, they themselves have strong maneuverability and speed, and the battle cooperates with their main warships, giving full play to the advantage of ants biting and killing elephants, if he rashly leads the sea wolf fleet to find Chu Cailao in a decisive battle, he will be placed in a place of no return.

So thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian threw himself into the mouse, so he could only dispel this idea and make other plans.

Standing at the door of the council hall, the more Yu Xiaotian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the more he thought about it, the more clueless he became, and he was a little anxious, so he walked out of the wolf's den headquarters with his legs, and slowly walked to the north gate of the village with a few personal guards, planning to go to the shipyard to see the construction of the new ship over there these days.

After the sloop schooner has gone through the trial production stage, the construction technology and technology have basically matured and stabilized, and the shipwrights are also familiar with the manufacturing process of various parts of this kind of ship, and the construction speed has begun to increase significantly, and Yu Xiaotian requires that this kind of ship be built in batches and added to the fleet as soon as possible to put it into use.

Therefore, the shipwrights here in the shipyard can now be said to be very saturated, the limited dock and slipway are almost all used, the shipwrights also perform their duties, adopt the division of labor and cooperation, and start to feed in large quantities, everyone is almost specialized in the production of a part, and the parts are made and transported to the dock and slipway for assembly.

In addition, the production of sails made the craftsmen who were previously specialized in making Chinese-style hard sails a little ineffective, so Yu Xiaotian simply recruited a group of women who were good at needlework on the island to help sew sails in the ship.

In this era, because the ship canvas was not produced for the time being, Yu Xiaotian had to find a way to send a ship to Manila or Batavia to find the Dutch or the Spaniards to purchase, which after the trial, the Dutch in Batavia had a canvas produced in India, which was relatively durable and strong, so the sea wolf purchased a batch in large quantities to make sails for this kind of flying fast boat.

And after continuous testing, the boat found that the use of different sewing methods, but also directly affect the strength of the sail, so they chose a more complex sewing method, let those female workers sew the sail in this way, came in Luo Xianbin to feedback back the news, said that after the use of this Indian canvas and the new sewing method, the sail has become more durable and more stressed than before, and the service life has been greatly extended, at least not a month to need to change a pair of sails, The old sails have to be repaired constantly.

If this new sail is not damaged by external forces, it can be used normally for more than two months, and if it does not encounter too strong typhoons, it can be used for a longer time, so it basically meets the needs of dhow for sail strength.

However, Yu Xiaotian also knows that before the chemical fiber material is successfully trial-produced, he can only do it here, and the canvas spun from pure natural hemp fiber and cotton fiber is only able to do this at present, and it is unlikely to improve the strength.

Two months after the year, the shipyard delivered two more sloops to the sea wolf, and then they were immediately assigned crew and handed over to Luo Xianbin's clipper detachment for training.

In the shipyard, there is a brig schooner and a sloop that is being built on the slipway in a short time, and the other dock is still carrying out drainage operations at this time, and the dock cannot drain the seawater in a few days, so far, there will be no new ships launched in the shipyard in a short time.

Today, Yu Xiaotian is very depressed, so he plans to go to the shipyard to take a walk, look at the ships that have been rebuilt, often his mood will be better, sometimes he also likes to look inside the cannon and gun when he is depressed, try the new gun or touch the newly made cannon, and the mood will be better.

But when he was about to walk out of the village, he saw several patrolmen scolding and scolding a person and tying him up, and dragged him from outside the village into the village with kicks and beatings.

"Don't fucking nonsense, you guys have been running to Dazhai for the past few days, I've been staring at you for a long time, and I can't let you be arrogant anymore! You don't look like a good bird, you must be a spy sent by Chu Cailao! A patrol sentry kicked the tied man in the butt from behind, kicked the man forward, and almost got a dog eating shit and lying on the ground, but was stopped by the two patrol posts next to him, so he didn't lie down.

"This guy has a hard mouth! Don't talk nonsense with him, drag him to the torture hall and hand him over to the people in the torture hall, don't believe this guy doesn't tell the truth! I don't believe he can withstand the means of the torture hall! A patrol officer said as he stood by the man.

But the man who was tied up still struggled and shouted, "Guys, misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! It's not anyone's spies in the bottom, it's just the bookkeeper of the Lin family's shop!

Under the surname Lin, the name is Yiyang, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Lin family shop to ask about the identity of the next one! The reason why I came here to go around is that I am very curious about idleness! It's not that you want to find out anything, I hope you don't misunderstand!

And I admire the ability of the big master to govern the world, and I want to see Yu in the house, but I don't have the opportunity, so I have nothing to do, come to Dazhai to see, want to try my luck, whether I can meet the side of the house! ”

"Phew! You are still stubborn when you die, you say that you are not Chu Cai's old spy, why do you keep wandering around Dazhai during this time, and you also wander around the island, and even run around the forbidden land in the east of the island? It's not the first day I've been staring at you, I've been staring at you these days! Isn't the Lin family shop? If you don't want to deceive me and others, the Lin family shop will definitely not be able to escape the involvement! Don't talk nonsense, when you go to the torture hall, someone will let you tell the truth! Come on! Before the leader of the patrol could finish speaking, he kicked again.

This time, Lin Yiyang was kicked and finally rolled to the ground, his head hit the ground, and when he looked up again, he had already seen blood, and the clothes on his body were rotten in several places, covered with dirt, and he looked very embarrassed.

Yu Xiaotian saw this, it turned out that he didn't want to ask about this matter, recently the island outside the loose and tight, the patrol personnel have strengthened the monitoring of all parts of the island, especially some fresh faces, but also the object of special care, and recently arrested more than a dozen Chu Cailao's spies, it can be seen that Chu Cailao is also trying to listen to the intelligence of the sea wolf.

So seeing this arrested man today, Yu Xiaotian didn't want to ask, looking at the situation, it should be another spy caught by the patrolmen, but when he heard the man say that he had always wanted to see him, Yu was a little curious, so he stopped and began to look at the man.

The man who was tied up was not very old, roughly in his twenties, about the same age as himself, medium build, slightly thin, wearing a shabby scribe's shirt with patches, and old cloth shoes under his feet, but unfortunately there was only one left at this time, and the other one was probably thrown off when he was caught, his hair was casually coiled on the top of his head, tied with a strip of cloth, and it was also scattered at this time, and the skin on his face was relatively white, but at this time his forehead was rubbed and his face was stained with a lot of dust, It makes him look embarrassed at this moment, but on the whole he looks like he was born as a scholar.

After carefully examining this man, Yu Xiaotian's intuition told him that this person should not look like a spy sent by Chu Cailao.
