The rapid-fire cannons made by Wang Xiaoming can be said to be the most advanced artillery, and many of them use modern craftsmanship and design ideas.

However, having a cannon is absolutely not enough, and supporting shells are also required.

There are also two types of shells, one is solid bomb and the other is explosive bomb.

At present, it is only solid bullets made, because solid bullets are easier to make and the probability of errors is relatively small.

Nowadays, there are few people and insufficient materials, so the first solid bomb and explosive bomb will take some time to prepare materials before it can be made.

In the production of shells, Wang Xiaoming also used shell shells directly in one step, that is, shells of modern artillery shells, but the warheads were solid shells used.

The most difficult part in making artillery shells is the bottom fire. This technology is not something that people who understand the mystery can't be made at all. However, for Wang Xiaoming, the bottom fire technology is not difficult.

Now we are making every effort to create rapid-fire cannons and their matching shells.

Wang Xiaoming also activated assembly line operations, dividing personnel into two assembly lines, one for producing artillery and the other for producing shells.

With all your efforts, you can make three rapid-fire cannons and one hundred shells a day.

This speed is still slow, but there is nothing we can do, after all, there is too few people.

There are very few materials, even the materials used to make rapid-fire cannons are also refined after melting the bulky cannons.

The metallurgical technology in this world is still not advanced enough, so the output of metals is very low, and the country's control over metals is also very strict, and metal trading is very strict, and ordinary people really can't buy it.

However, the problem of materials is not a big deal. After all, having money can make the devil push the mill. It only costs some money and you can buy the materials you need.

Even if the price is more expensive than the normal price, it will not affect it.

A few more days later, the craftsmen became more and more skilled in making artillery artillery, and their production capacity began to rise. They could produce five rapid-fire cannons and one hundred and fifty shells a day.

A total of thirty rapid-fire guns were produced, with 2,000 shells, and then there was no material.

Thirty rapid-fire guns were installed on five sea boats, each of which had six rapid-fire guns.

In order to strengthen firepower, these six rapid-fire guns are installed on the same deck, and the six rapid-fire guns can conduct centralized attacks in the same direction.

There is a cannon. But it may not be possible to say how strong the combat power is.

You should know that shooting guns is easy to shoot and difficult to shoot, especially when shooting at sea. The wind and waves on the sea are too strong and bumpy, so the attack is even more difficult. It is not difficult to shoot, but it is too difficult to hit the target.

Even after Wang Xiaoming's training and guidance, the pirates' ability to fire is still relatively weak. The effective attack distance of the rapid-fire cannon is three thousand meters, but under the operation of the pirates, it is possible to hit the target only if they enter one thousand meters. Only when they enter five hundred meters can they have a higher accuracy rate.

But then again, although their technicality is really not good, the cannons have good performance. With the help of the power of the rapid-fire cannon, their combat power is absolutely terrifying in the face of the other pirates.

At this time, Luoye Village also sent news. There was something about the chief clerk. When Wang Xiaoming received the news, there was no material for making cannons on the island, so he wanted to deal with the two things by himself.

When he arrived at Luoye Village, Village Chief Li personally explained the matter clearly. Zhou Ran and Zhang Bo had sent people to contact him. Zhou Ran had a very big appetite and would not let go without 10,000 silver coins. Moreover, looking at the person and his actions, he was afraid that 10,000 silver coins would not be able to block his mouth.

Zhang Bo is already quite old. This time he heard about this, he was very moved and the two sides could say it hit it off.

The rest is to implement it in detail.

That night, Wang Xiaoming went to the county town. Speaking of which, this was the first time Wang Xiaoming went to Qingshan County.

When we arrived in the county, someone had already received Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming had already asked Luoye Village to send smart and capable villagers to set up shops and restaurants in the county town. First, we could inquire about the news, and second, we could buy and sell supplies.

Wang Xiaoming also visited two stores. The business was pretty good, but it had no characteristics and the business was lukewarm or hot.

It is impossible for a serious business person to make a fortune all at once, and this is also the norm.

Wang Xiaoming also met Zhang Bo, and the two had a meal of wine and food, and were quite satisfied with the candidate Zhang Bo.

To do this job well, two conditions are required: one is loyalty and obedient, and the other is to know how to do things.

It’s not enough to be obedient, because the job of the chief clerk is originally a relatively tedious job, and it’s impossible to do without a smart mind and flexible mind.

The next morning, Zhou Ran, the county chief clerk, died suddenly at home. As for the cause of death, it was impossible to find out. It can only be determined that he died of an acute illness.

As soon as Zhou Ran died, the position of chief clerk was immediately vacant, and many people in the county set their minds on the position of chief clerk.

Logically speaking, the second-in-command under the chief clerk is the Book Office, and the Book Office should be replaced by the Book Office, but in the end, the position of the chief clerk fell on Zhang Bo's head.

The reason for this is that Wang Xiaoming and others spent a lot of money. One was to bribe the rest of the yamen, and the other was to give the magistrate a large sum of silver. For the sake of the chief clerk, he gave 10,000 silver coins, so he bought the chief clerk's position.

The clerk was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but what's the use of being dissatisfied? Things have become a foregone conclusion. Although he holds a grudge, he can only comfort him.

But the Book Office did not expect that Zhang Bo would attack him soon. He must have been unable to bear the crime of corruption. Because the evidence was conclusive, he was sentenced to a sentence of exile of thousands of miles by the magistrate, and he would never come back in his life.

After Zhang Bo became the chief clerk, his first job was to arrange his identity for Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming is a black household in this country, so he needs to apply for an identity certificate.

With the help of the chief clerk, Wang Xiaoming's identity was quickly handled. Because it was handled locally, Wang Xiaoming became a native of Qingshan County, and his name and other names were not changed.

After having an identity, many things became easier. First, I bought land. For convenience, Wang Xiaoming directly spent twice the price to buy a family and the land together with the house.

The family was also a rich man. The property was worth about 50,000 taels. Wang Xiaoming directly offered 100,000 silver coins and bought the house and the fields together.

He could not buy a house and land with just silver coins, but he could still use three-pronged approach. In addition to silver coins, Zhang Bo, the chief clerk, also followed suit, and with force coercion, he could buy it.

You should know that although the land has a market price, ordinary people will not sell the land unless they can't live a life.

With the house and the fields, Wang Xiaoming suddenly transformed into a big landlord, and finally had an identity in this country.

With such an identity, Wang Xiaoming immediately took action to buy a store in the county town and run his own business, but because of limited funds and more limited time, the business is just a small scale.

While Wang Xiaoming was busy with these things, Zhang Bozhu also became busy with buying metal raw materials. After asking, he also knew that it was not easy to buy a large amount of metal.

Because large-scale trading of metals in national strategic materials is generally prohibited.

However, there are policies above and countermeasures below. There are naturally solutions to really make a purchase.

After several inquiries, Zhang Bo still contacted the door. He was an intermediary. Then he made a transaction with the other party and paid the deposit. The other party transported the goods. Due to the route, it took more than half a month to deliver the goods needed to the county town.

When I went to the county town to check the goods, there was no problem with the goods, so I paid the remaining payment.

With the completion of the first transaction, the second transaction will proceed naturally. In half a month, the second batch of goods will arrive.

At this moment, a bad news came.

Two-horned island was attacked by pirates.

This news was reported by nearby fishermen. As for the specific situation, I don’t know yet.

Wang Xiaoming was anxious and immediately returned to Luoye Village and then took a boat to Shuangjiao Island.

At this time, the Double Horn Island encountered the attack of pirates and the battle was extremely fierce.

At about noon, a pirate fleet attacked towards Double Corner Island. On the way forward, it was discovered by the ships patrolled by the Dragon Pirates regiment. The originally planned sneak attack turned into a strong attack.

When he knew that a powerful pirate regiment was attacking, Lei Meng, who was responsible for combat affairs, decisively issued the fleet's order to attack.

If the fleet is blocked in the port by the opponent, it will not be able to exert the power of the warship at all. Even if it wins in the end, it will suffer heavy losses, so it must drive the ship out before the battle begins.

Originally, Lei Meng planned to fight with the other party in a field, but after observing through a telescope, he found that the pirate was extremely powerful. A group of twelve large and small warships all used cannons, which can be said to be a rare sea raucous dragon.

Faced with such a strong enemy, Wang Meng did not dare to be careless and quickly turned the bow of the ship to let the fleet that was ready to respond to the enemy escape.

Of course, this is called a strategic transfer in Wang Meng's eyes, but in the other party's eyes, it is so scared that it runs away.

Watching the ships of the Flying Dragon Pirates escape, there was a refreshing laughter from the sea boats of the attacking parties.

Among them, on the largest sea boat, the pirate leader Jiang Chen smiled contemptuously: I thought there were three heads and six arms, but I didn't expect that it was a soft-legged shrimp.

Beside Jiang Chen, a middle-aged man dressed in a master smiled and said: In front of Boss Jiang, the other party is naturally a soft-legged shrimp. It seems that this action is sure to win.

The other person laughed and said: Speaking of which, these guys are seeking death by themselves. What is the bad name for them? They dare to call the Feilong Pirates Group. His name is Feilong. Let us let the face of our Black Dragon Pirates Group be well-known, so that these guys can know the rules well. There is one dragon on the sea that is enough, that is, our Black Dragon. Whoever dares to call the name of Dragon will destroy it.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: I love hearing the third brother's words. My name is Heilong and his name is Feilong. Isn't this unhappy for me? I just want to let me eat him. Now, I'm going to suffer for myself.

This person is better to be a little low-key. If you don’t have the ability, you have to tie your tails up and be a human being. If you don’t know the world is high, then I will tell you how to be a human being.

After a pause, Jiang Chen faced the other pirates and said loudly: Capture Shuangjiao Island and don’t seal the sword for three days. Brothers will follow me to the island and be happy.

The boss said it well.

The boss is wise.

Hearing Jiang Chen's promise, the other pirates cheered excitedly.

If you capture a pirate's nest, there must be many women and treasures on the island. If you don't seal the sword for three days, you will be so happy.

Speaking of which, the Black Dragon Pirates and the Flying Dragon Pirates naturally have no grievances. As for the reason why the Black Dragon Pirates attacked the Flying Dragon Pirates, it is naturally not as simple as the names are similar.

The pirates will be dispatched, and that is entirely for the sake of interests.

The reason why the Black Dragon Pirates attacked the Flying Dragon Pirates was also for the sake of profit.

Shuangjiao Island was previously occupied by the Scimitar Pirates. Although the Scimitar Pirates are average, they are very good at being a human being. They have many networks of relationships among pirates. In addition, Scimitar Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many artillery batteries on the island. If you want to attack Scimitar Island, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But now things have turned around.

The scimitar pirate group was destroyed, the Double Horn Island was occupied, and the new Pirate Group, the Dragon Pirate Group, occupied the Double Horn Island.

The process of the Flying Dragon Pirates occupying the Double-horned Island is said to be completed by a master through melee battles, rather than by a sea ship.

The sea ships of the Dragon Pirates were inherited from the Scimitar Pirates.

The strength of the Dragon Pirates is even weaker than that of the Scimitar Pirates.

In addition, after the establishment of the Dragon Pirates, it did not go out to rob, and this behavior is also a manifestation of the weak among the pirates, which makes the other pirates look down on the Dragon Pirates.

Many pirate groups are interested in attacking the Flying Dragon Pirates, but out of caution, they have not taken action yet.

The Black Dragon Pirates are close to Shuangjiao Island, which has natural geographical convenience. They take action in advance before the rest of the Pirates.

However, this operation of the Black Dragon Pirates is also a tentative act. If the Flying Dragon Pirates are strong enough and are a tough bone, they will choose to retreat. But then again, if the Flying Dragon Pirates are vulnerable, they will not blame them. Their Black Dragon Pirates will kill Shuangjiao Island and take away all the things that can be taken away on the island. As for those things that cannot be taken away, they will naturally be destroyed on the spot.

Before, their Black Dragon Pirates had some concerns, but now when they saw the ships of the Flying Dragon Pirates, they turned around and ran away when they saw themselves, and they were extremely proud.

Especially the number of ships in the Dragon Pirates Group is not too large, with only five sea boats. Compared with dozens of sea boats, it is completely incomparable.
