Chapter 107 New Order

"Bright Xiaotian, half a month ago, a man surnamed Zheng, who claimed to be a big friend, came to our Nanri Island and asked to see you! But you happened to go to Chickenlong wan. When he learned that you were not here, he left a letter, and left 500 taels of silver and 300 catties of copper, saying that it was a thank you!" Now only his father-in-law Liu Laoliu can directly call Yu Xiaotian Xiaotian. At this time, Liu Laoliu remembered this matter and asked someone to take a letter and give it to Yu Xiaotian.

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard that his surname was Zheng, he knew who it was. In addition to Zheng Yiguan, what else could come here to thank him at this time?

So he took the letter and opened it and read it. Sure enough, it was written by Zheng Yiguan. Zheng Yiguan thanked him again in the letter and expressed his admiration for Xiaotian, saying that he was very sorry that he did not see Yu Xiaotian this time.

Zheng Yiguan also said in his letter that he would go south to Penghu this time to meet his godfather Li Dan. If Yu Xiaotian wants to do business with red-haired people in the future, he would be willing to help Yu Xiaotian. When he comes back, he will definitely come to visit Yu Xiaotian.

In addition, in order to treat him and his men leniently by Xiaotian, after he went back and told Li Dan, Li Dan was very grateful and asked him to send a little thank you to express his gratitude.

After reading this letter, Yu Xiaotian smiled and asked people to put it away and said, "This man is a powerful person. Although he is still unknown now, I'm afraid he will achieve a great career in the future! In the future, whether I am on the island or not, if this person comes, I will treat him warmly, but remember that he should not be allowed to see our workshop area, especially the gun and glass field and soap-making field.

Liu Laoliu nodded and wrote down the matter.

"Is there any news about Penghu? In addition, how is the situation on the southeast sea recently? Yu Xiaotian then asked Liu Laoliu.

Liu Laoliu replied, "It is rumored that the officers and soldiers in Penghu have sent hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to besiege the Red-haired City in Penghu. The Red-haired people have had a hard time recently and have begun to retreat. It is said that they are still discussing with the government on how to go next!

However, it is said that although the officers and soldiers have a large number of troops, they have never been able to break through Hongmao City because of their extremely sharp firearms in Hongmao City. Moreover, it is said that although there are also many warships, the Redmao people's warships are also strong and strong. They travel to and from the sea like no one, and the officers and navy have been able to cut off their sea. Channel, so that the war is still in a stalemate so far!

However, some ships that often haunted the southeast some time ago have become much less. According to your instructions, we have strengthened the inspection of the sea in the southeast, and there has been no conflict with any colleagues during this period.

After touching his chin and thinking about it for a while, Yu Xiaotian sighed, "The government is also a coward. With ten times the enemy's strength, it can't even take down Penghu!" Even the channel of the red-haired man can't be controlled. The visible Daming sailor is indeed too weak now!

However, if it is not what I expected, this battle should be basically over. The red-haired people are trapped in Penghu, but it is rare. They are here to do business. For such a long time, they can't hold on!

So they are sure to withdraw from Penghu in the near future to end this meaningless war of attrition. Recently, they told our brothers that once the battle of Penghu is over, there will be fewer conflicts with the government! So that the government won't take the opportunity to make trouble to us!"

Everyone nodded and agreed.

After Yu Xiaotian thought for a while, his opponents said, "Since we are not short of money recently, it is time to increase our manpower!" I plan to build a camp on Nanri Island, based on the original new camp, and expand it to recruit 500 to 1,000 more sailors and soldiers! Strengthen our strength!

In addition, the number of our ships has also increased a lot recently. The rest of the available can be eliminated or sold, leaving more than a dozen strong ships to fill our fleets.

As for the soldiers, I think in addition to the recent flying prisoners, I plan to recruit a batch on the island and surrounding fishing villages, and recruit another batch from existing immigrants and land to strengthen our strength!"

Liu Laoliu and others also raised their hands to support this. Now their territory is much larger, but the number of manpower has not increased, and the number of ships has not increased much, which makes them feel a little overstretched when they are working. Yu Xiaotian did not mention the expansion plan, and they have been ready to wait for a long time. Yu Xiaotian put forward this plan when he came back.

Now Yu Xiaotian has offered to increase manpower. Naturally, they will not oppose it. Even Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi, who have always been known as miser, have supported it.

Seeing that everyone supported this matter, Yu Xiaotian then handed over the matter to Liu Laoliu. First, he sent craftsmen to renovate the original new camp and expand the barracks to a scale that could accommodate a thousand people. In addition, he tripled the original camp and erected fences around him, and then began to recruit people.

The high treatment of the sea wolves is now obvious to all. Although they are thieves, they are not nonsense. What they have done in Fuzhou in the past year has won the hearts of coastal fishermen.

Yu Xiaotian also sent people to kill several famous fishermen in the Fuzhou area, making the fishermen in Fuzhou live much better than before. Therefore, the fishermen now mention sea wolves, and most of them secretly give a thumbs up to praise.

Especially in the fishing villages on Haitan Island, there were many pirate gangs here before. They were very sad. After Yu Xiaotian killed the Shark Gang, he began to sort out the small group of pirates in this area, either annexing them or dispersing them, making the people's livelihood on Haitan Island much better.

In addition, the previous Donghai Village has long been a hardcore supporter of sea wolves. As soon as the sea wolf expanded its manpower, the hearts of many young fishermen in fishing villages came to life.

Because they have heard about the generous treatment of the sea wolf people and know that working in the sea wolf, as long as they work hard, although they can get a small salary every month, in fact, they have a lot of additional reward income. In just one year, many sea wolf members have saved a lot of money and settled on Nanri Island. I got married to a wife.

In the past, fishermen did not dare to marry their daughters to pirates, but now they see that the sea wolves have rich financial resources, entrusting people to media, and sea wolves have a good reputation. Many fishermen have now changed their attitude and are willing to marry their daughters to Nanri Island, and even The whole family moved to Nanri Island to settle down, which has kept the population of Nanri Island growing recently.

Looking at the good life of the sea wolf, many young descendants among the fishermen are a little jealous. These fishermen are not about patriotism in the first place. In their minds, they are united with whoever is good to them.

The government has never paid attention to these fishermen. When they think of them, it is tax collection and exploitation. When the fishermen are harmed by pirates, when they ask the government, the government immediately disappears and becomes mute and never stand up for them. Therefore, when it comes to the government, few fishermen do not scold.

Nowadays, the sea wolf has established a new order on the sea along the coast of Fuzhou. It can be said that these fishermen have benefited the most. In the past, when they went to sea to fish, they always had to be worried and take the catch*, and they also had to be stripped by the government and the fishermen. From time to time Damaged by a small band of pirates.

However, in the past six months, this situation has changed greatly under the auspices of the sea wolf. Several fishermen were killed, which scared other fishermen to restrain a lot. A small group of pirates were swallowed or expelled by sea wolves, and the fishermen were no longer afraid of going to sea to fish as usual.

So when they heard that the sea wolf was going to recruit the department, the young descendants in many fishing villages within a hundred miles around became lively and discussed with their families that they wanted to go to Nanri Island to invest in sea wolves to eat food and make some money for their families.

Old fishermen are certainly not very willing to do this. After all, the deep-rooted reputation of pirates in their hearts represents that they are bad people. Even if they are favored by sea wolves, they are unwilling to let their descendants become thieves from now on.

Therefore, the older fishermen disagreed with the requirements of the descendants, but some descendants were unwilling to listen to their fathers or patriarchs. Some young fishermen simply colluded secretly and secretly got a boat to go to sea and went straight to Nanri Island.

Since the sea wolves began to spread the news that they began to recruit their subordinates, several or even dozens of young fishermen went to Nanri Island almost every day to apply.

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian set up a recruitment station on the dock to receive these people who came to submit. He sent several illiterate subordinates to register their names and place of origin, and then asked Langzhong to check their pulses. If they were qualified, they would be left and sent to the training camp and handed over to the coach there. Let the instructor start training them in isolation.

In addition, the sea wolf also recruited a group of young men from land immigrants by other means, smuggled them to Nanri Island by boat, and directly put them into training camps to train them.

With the order of Yu Xiaotian, this matter was fully rolled out on Nanri Island. Since then, the sea wolf recruit training system has been officially formed, making the sea wolf department more regularized.

According to their different director, the recruits are divided into two parts: sailors and soldiers. In the training camp, they are also divided into two groups for different professional training.
