Of course, Sheyan will always remember that the best quality of a superior person is to keep his word. Therefore, although Dai Qisi seemed to be very cooperative, Sheyan did not forget to punish her in the end. The content of the punishment was in front of all the pirates. He stripped off his clothes, hung upside down on the mast, and beat him five times with a whip made of sharkskin!
For a woman, being stripped and hung upside down is an extremely intense humiliation.
What's more, you have to whip five whips on your youthful and beautiful carcass. You know, a whip made of shark skin will roll off a large piece of flesh when it is whipped on the body. The pain and harm caused will naturally be etched in people's hearts.
This is also a lesson for all pirates. Rewards and punishments are the best weapons for the superiors to maintain their rule. Fortunately, the power of the source of life in Dai Qisi's body surged very vigorously, so the wound would heal quickly without leaving a scar.
And she is not a big girl with yellow flowers, what has not been seen among the gypsy people? For her who has been an old woman, she has experienced something more terrifying than this level of humiliation and punishment, so she can bear it psychologically, and she can only admit that she is unlucky and grit her teeth. Humiliation is better than having an old woman's face at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Soon, Sheyan gathered the crew who stayed on the Sam, and after punishing Dai Qis, he ordered everyone to board the ship. After seeing such a powerful five-masted quasi-legendary warship, of course It's a morale boost.
On the one hand, Fang Sheyan wanted to familiarize his subordinates with the control method of this large ship, on the other hand, he was eager to complete the milestone of the pirate captain to recruit manpower, so after asking the old sea dog, he headed to another place not far away called Temporary pirate port on Triangle Island.
Of course, I would like to mention the Vikings here by the way. In order to make up for their loss in battle, Fang Sheyan compensated them with his other three-masted ship that was originally used for logistics and transportation. Of course, this ship can also be used as a means of transportation. By the way, it is used to transport those gifted goods, supplies and so on. Save the shipping costs for the Vikings. Fang Senyan's other three-masted ship was originally transformed into a cargo ship, so it is no problem to carry the Vikings and their cargo back to their hometown. The Vikings were also quite satisfied with Sheyan's generosity. The two parties agreed to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.
Dingyuan sailed along the way, giving people the feeling that it was extremely stable, and the wind and waves could not interfere with it at all. Sheyan even tried to put a glass of water on the table, but the result was that the wave height was close to four meters. Under the circumstances, the water that was filled in this glass did not splash out at all, which shows its stability!
Since the pirate port of Triangle Island is only more than a day away from Port Royal, it must be far inferior to a place like Tetuga. The triangular island does not mean that there are islands forming a triangle, but because it is composed of three character-shaped islands.
If the prosperity of Tetuga is the size of a provincial capital, then the triangle island is similar to the level of a "town". And it's still very desolate. The artificial buildings on the island are seven or eight houses built with stones. When the anti-smuggling work in Port Royal was carried out relatively smoothly, this place was a deserted island. Even if you landed on the island, the only thing you could do was to push down the stone house, but when Port Royal relaxed , then this is a paradise for smugglers.
There was also a reason for Sheyan to go to Triangle Island at this time, because he had already received the news: Norrington Group had defeated those guys from Sivale Group, and Triangle Island was only a few hundred nautical miles away from the battlefield of both sides. If the wind is favorable, it is a matter of a few hours.
Most importantly, if the retreating pirates did not retreat to the Triangle Island, they would have to travel at least thousands of nautical miles to another Cape Bode to replenish fresh water, which is obviously unrealistic. So if there is no accident at this time, the triangle island should be a huge market. There are many pirates who sell guns, cannons, equipment and themselves after the defeat. It should be the place where Sheyan can find the most people.
Although Dingyuan has become Sheyan's flagship at this time, Sheyan's semi-scrapped Sam was also dragged behind and was not discarded. If it works well, even if it is regarded as a fishing boat, it can be sold for at least a few hundred. Thousands of pounds. When he was more than ten nautical miles away from the delta island, he sent a few guys who belonged to the Xivale pirate group to take a look on the sloop.
The first reason is to see if Sivale is on the island—if his old man is there, it will not be too difficult to poach someone. After all, the Pirate King's prestige is still there, Fang Senyan's admiration at this time still cannot compete with the Pirate King.
One is to obtain first-hand current information and understand the general situation after the sea battle at this time.
After a while, the pirates who went to explore the way returned. Panting heavily, they knocked on the door of the captain's cabin:
"Boss, Boss!! Let's go quickly, Siwale was seriously injured and unconscious, the eldest son was captured alive by Norrington, there were disagreements within the pirate group, and there were many fights, and now the top is in chaos. It’s time to recruit people.”
Although Sheyan was almost sure that Sivale would not be on the island, he was still very happy after hearing the news, and immediately ordered to move forward at full speed. I have to admit that when Fang Senyan's newly snatched Dingyuan sailed slowly into the triangle island, its unique and huge shape, and the black pirate dragon flag fluttering on the mast still gave people quite an impact of.
The triangular island is indeed a chaotic scene. Although the entire Xivale pirate group is huge, its organization is quite loose. The strength of the five-masted ships was barely united. It's just that once the core group loses its strength, it will inevitably fall into the predicament of trees falling and monkeys scattered.
After Dingyuan docked, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. At this time, Fang Sheyan continued to hide behind the scenes and did not show up. Instead, he dispatched the men of the Xivale Pirate Group to inquire about news, obtain prices, obtain first-hand information, and then act after making a decision.
He believes that if he shows up at this time, even if he doesn't show up, many people will apply to join, but Fang Sheyan sternly told the pirates, saying that they are talking about father, mother and wife, but they must not be too much about the things on this ship. speak! Otherwise, the family law must be taken care of!
At this time, the pirates on the ship were worshiping Fang Sheyan's words like gods, so naturally they didn't dare to say a word in front of others. In this way, it only increased the curiosity of those pirates. After collecting the information collected by the pirates, Fang Sheyan was surprised to find that there was actually the extremely advanced cannon for sale in this place!
In fact, although this kind of current high-tech things are difficult to obtain, money can pass through the gods, and the difficulty of buying one or two doors through the black market or small-scale purchases is not as great as imagined. Dressing up is quite difficult.
At this time, many pirates moored on the delta island felt that there was no future in the future. The British navy represented by Norrington was too strong, so they had the idea of washing their hands in a golden basin. In addition, the captain might die in battle, and his subordinates were very supportive. Scattered and sold things to share the spoils, so to sum up, there are a total of thirty-eight hardcover curved cannons for sale on this island, and they have been purchased from more than a dozen sellers, and most of the prices are Because of the eagerness to cash in, it was much cheaper than the auction house.
After hearing this report, Sheyan ordered the acquisition without hesitation! At this time, the Dingyuan was already an extremely strong ship, and he even heard some pirates call it an "unsinkable floating island", so naturally it would take advantage of it in the shelling battle. As the saying goes, strong ships and powerful guns must be the trend of the future!
As far as the current situation is concerned, it can be seen that there is no way to gain a speed advantage in the competition with the Black Pearl, so from another perspective, we can consider reducing the enemy's speed, and use more hinge bullets to attack the Black Pearl. Using Pearl's mast and sails to slow down its speed, and then trying to find a way to avoid the opponent's boarding is also another way. Of course, this requires a lot of gunners.
After spending about 30,000 pounds, Sheyan got seventeen curved cannons. After thinking about it, Sheyan built four artillery arrays with four cannons, and then told the carpenter the principle of the slide rail system. Spike, let him start researching, so that if there are no accidents, seventeen curved cannons can bombard multiple directions at the same time!
However, the addition of new equipment is certainly a good thing, but new problems have also been exposed. Although the curved cannon is powerful, it requires more manpower to control it, because Fang Sheyan considered the direction of battle before. Focusing on boarding and fighting, the talents collected tend to be like this, so what is currently lacking is the kind of very good gunners.
And this is different from the sailor, no matter how good a gunner is, he has to rely on experience to load the bomb. Adjusting the position of each gun in a fierce battle, if there is no computer correction for long-distance shooting, it can be said that there is a slight difference. Even if two guns are close together, the shooting parameters and ammunition loading The quantity is also different, so for now, a good gunner can only command two or three guns in battle at most, so the more talents in this area are needed, the better.
