Chapter 209: Sleepless Nights 1
Chu Cai Lao does not have the rules of the sea wolf, when he goes to camp and set up a village, he must first arrange a temporary latrine while camping, and the camp strictly stipulates that no one is allowed to defecate anywhere, so as to prevent the poor health conditions in the camp, resulting in a large area of epidemic infection, which is relatively advanced in this era.
But Chu Cai Lao didn't have this kind of foresight, they came out to do things, they were in shares, and the shopkeepers of each unit got together with their subordinates, and then the camps of each unit gathered together, and no one would find a place to place temporary latrines for the people to defecate, so under normal circumstances, in their camp, people can be seen everywhere to solve it on the spot, walking in the camp, accidentally stepping on, this is a common thing.
The situation is a little different tonight, after midnight, the group of Chu Cailao's subordinates who finally ate and drank enough to lie down, suddenly there was a large area of diarrhea, many people got up and squatted down and fired on the spot, but it didn't take long for Chu Cailao's camp to be filled with a foul smell.
Even Chu Cailao himself heard the abnormal noise in the camp in the middle of the night, but this guy himself did not have a stomach upset, after this guy became famous, he began to become cautious, because he was afraid of being murdered, in addition to bringing a group of cronies with him wherever he went, the diet was also carried out by a special person, so the ingredients and drinking water used by him and his cronies were brought by the ship, so this guy did not have an upset stomach.
Chu Cailao didn't have a good rest this night, he originally wanted to stay on the boat to rest, but considering that this is Nanri Island, it is the territory of the sea wolf, he has to beware of the sea wolf's possible sneak attack at night, if he is on the ship, he will not be able to deal with it in time, so after thinking about it, he still decided to stay in the camp on the shore and restrain these messy subordinates at any time.
Recalling the two times he ate during the day, Chu Cailao was in a very bad mood, and after eating and simply arranging the affairs of his subordinates to guard the camp, he went back to his tent and lay down, and he was not even interested in bringing the beauties who served him with the boat this night, and drove them back to the ship to stay.
Chu Cai Lao was lying on the soft couch, tossing and turning a little unable to sleep, after eating two deflated today, he began to realize that he still underestimated this surnamed Yu and his subordinates, the strength of this surnamed Yu on hand may be stronger than he thought, especially the number of cannons he has, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
He began to wonder why this surnamed Yu didn't debut early, but he was able to get so many Hongyi cannons, this kind of Hongyi cannons are still rare in the Ming Dynasty, although Guangdong, although Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan have iron yards that can cast similar Hongyi cannons, but these iron yards are cast under the strict supervision of the government, all the cannons that are cast will be handed over to the government immediately, or transported to the north, or handed over to the local military, it is difficult for ordinary people to get this kind of Hongyi cannon.
Although he debuted very early, so far, he has only made two or three Hongyi cannons from land through relationships, and he has also purchased a few from Franc Robot at a high price, but he can't figure out where the sea wolf got these big killers.
Today he has been pondering this matter all day, always a little bit can't understand why, after nightfall someone gave him an answer, his subordinates caught a person from Nanri Island outside the camp, and only when he asked, he realized that this person turned out to be a fine work sent by them, when the sea wolf withdrew the islanders into Dazhai, he found a place to hide, waiting for Chu Cailao to arrive.
After getting dark at this time, this fine work touched the vicinity of Chu Cailao's camp, and was immediately found and arrested by Chu Cailao's subordinates, and after asking about the incision, they found that this person was their own person, and this guy said that he had something to report to Chu Cailao, so he was taken to Chu Cailao's tent.
As soon as Chu Cai saw this fine work, he immediately asked him all kinds of things about the sea wolf, and he was most concerned about the whereabouts of the sea wolf's fleet.
This detailed reply Chu Cailao said that as far as he knew, the sea wolf did mobilize the army this time, recalled their warships to Nanri Island, and then sent them out in batches, it is said that they were going to clear the subordinates and ships sent by Chu Cailao in the Fuzhou area, and he also saw these ships leave Nanri Island in batches, this matter should not be fake.
After hearing about this, Chu Cai Lao was somewhat relieved, so he went on to ask why the sea wolves had so many Hongyi cannons, and whether they hooked up with the red-haired people and the dry wax people to get this kind of Hongyi cannons from them.
But this fine answer made Chu Cailao startled, Xizuo has been here for a while, so he still found out something about the sea wolf, so he told Chu Cai Lao that he didn't know whether the sea wolf had a deal with the red-haired people or the dry wax people, but he inquired about one thing, that is, most of these Hongyi cannons were cast by the sea wolves themselves.
Chu Cai Lao listened to it when even jumped up, even said that this is impossible, Hongyi cannon is not an ordinary object, who wants to create can be made, this must have a very clever craftsman, but also have a reference to the real thing, in addition to the matter of casting the cannon is very cumbersome, just the clay fan used in the casting cannon is not easy to make, not to mention, but also very time-consuming, there is a lot of rain along the coast, many times the mud fan can not be done, the mud fan is not dry, the cast cannon is not usable, this truth Chu Cai Lao knows a little more.
So when he heard that his subordinates said that most of these red cannons were forged by the sea wolves here, he didn't believe it at all, and even scolded him.
He heard about it when he first came, and he couldn't believe it, but then he heard more about it, and found that this matter should not be fake, and the sea wolf would test the cannon on the island every once in a while, and the island was so big that the sound of the cannon could be heard far away, and the people on the island had long been accustomed to it.
Later, he ventured to sneak away to observe the workshop area in the southwest of Dazhai on Nanri Island, and found that it was heavily guarded, and idlers and others could not approach it at all, and the sound of trumpets and irons could be heard in the workshop area from a distance.
Moreover, he also learned that the sea wolf had managed to get a lot of craftsmen from the land, and enriched the workshop area to work for them, they could not only make cannons, but now they could also make their own quite good arquebuses, and he even saw the sea wolf's men in the merchant area with his own eyes, and put this kind of red cannon in the fort.
So he thinks that this matter should also be true, most of these Hongyi cannons should indeed be cast by the sea wolf himself, but how the sea wolf did it, he really can't find out, the sea wolf is very strict about this blockade news, if the average person asks a lot, they will be noticed, and soon they will be arrested by the sea wolf's people, and they are a few careful because they inquire about these things too much, so that they were found by the sea wolf and caught, and within a few days the head was hung on the pillar by the sea, Up to now, some of the finely made heads are still hanging on the pillars outside the village, and they have been dried.
This fine work also told Chu Cailao that the original business name in the business area that did things for Chu Cailao was also copied by the sea wolf some time ago, and some people in the shopkeeper and the business were shown to the public by the sea wolf within two days, and the corpse was fed to the king in the sea.
After Chu Cai heard it, he was suspicious, rewarded this meticulous work, and let him go down to rest, which was even more unpleasant.
He never thought that such a small peer as a sea wolf could actually create such a situation in this place of Nanri Island, and even the Hongyi cannon could be cast by itself, and this time things became more and more difficult to handle.
Fortunately, this time he deceived the sea wolf's fleet out of the city, otherwise the sea wolf must have a lot of red cannons on board, and if he faced them, he might really suffer a big loss this time.
When he heard the news that the sea wolf could forge cannons and build bird guns by himself, Chu Cailao even immediately had the idea of retreating, afraid that he would make a big mistake on Nanri Island this time, but after thinking about it, he immediately dispelled this idea, because he suddenly thought that if he could take Nanri Island this time, this harvest would not only be a matter of obtaining a large amount of goods.
Thinking that once he could take down the sea wolf's Dazhai, the secret of the sea wolf's own casting of the Hongyi cannon would fall into his hands, and those craftsmen would also fall into his hands, wouldn't he be able to make his own Hongyi cannon in the future? If he can make his own Hongyi cannon, then won't he Chu Cailao be even more powerful in the future? Looking at this sea, who else would he be afraid of? Even if he sits on the ground and becomes king, what can the court and government do with him?
After thinking of this, Chu Cailao couldn't help but be firm in his idea of taking down this Nanri Island Dazhai, and he secretly made up his mind that as soon as it dawned tomorrow, he would start to do it, this time no matter how much price he had to pay, even if half of the people under his hands died, he had to take down this Dazhai.
Sometimes people's minds are easily blinded by interests, the sudden news, so that Chu Cai Lao forgot the grievances he suffered during the day, at this time he only had those Hongyi cannons and sharp arquebuses in his heart, but those goods and other things, have retreated to a secondary position, he only wants to take down Nanri Island Dazhai, but ignore the potential huge threat brought to him by this information, the sea wolf has such a killing weapon in his hands, can he take Nanri Island Dazhai with these rabble men?
When Chu Cai was excited about this matter, he heard that the camp that had gradually quieted down suddenly began to become noisy again, so he listened with his ears pricked up, and it didn't feel like a sea wolf was coming, so he was a little annoyed, grandma's time, these bastards don't sleep well, recuperate and attack the sea wolf village tomorrow, but get up and toss a fart!
So he turned over and got up angrily, walked to the door of the big tent in his clothes, lifted the curtain out of the big tent, and came outside to look intently, but saw that where the bonfire was shining, his camp was full of figures walking back and forth, and some people were cursing loudly, and I don't know what the reason for the road.
