Chapter 45 Xishan Village, Ninghai Prefecture

So now the army strength of the sea wolf has exceeded the navy, which makes the army personnel feel a little excited and feel that they can compete with the navy in all aspects.

In the past two years, Seawolf's army has tried to compete with the navy in terms of recruitment and budget, but due to technical differences, the army's budget has never been able to exceed the navy, which makes the army a little unhappy.

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian recruited the army general and scolded him face to face, explaining that the structure of the army and navy are different and the technical equipment are different, which means that the navy must occupy more resources during this period.

After all, although the navy is not as strong as the army now, but the navy needs to be equipped with ships and a large number of artillery. In addition, it is also very expensive in logistics and maintenance. Relatively speaking, the army is naturally far from it. After all, except for war horses, the army's individual equipment is not too valuable. A set of armor plus a flliu jia Guns, as well as military uniforms and daily necessities, don't cost much.

And because the number of horses at present, Yu Xiaotian does not want to expose too much hidden strength, most of the horses are still placed on Haitan Island and Jeju Island for training and private breeding. The actual number of horses equipped by the army is still very small, which also limits the army to equip more artillery.

So although the army has a large number of people, it can't keep up with the navy. Although the army is not convinced about this, this is also a fact. After all, the rich navy is poor. This is an unchangeable fact. The navy is only armed with the most common warship, and the money consumed is at least enough to arm. A battalion of the army.

Although the sea wolf has begun to gradually focus on developing the strength of the army, at this stage, the navy is still their foundation, and no one can change the current reality.

Although the Seawolf Group has invested heavily in military resources, the two militaries are not just consuming resources and has no output.

First of all, in terms of the navy, since the navy officially established the three major fleets, Yu Xiaotian has completely controlled the entire Fujian coast. Although he did not blatantly send a navy to expand its territory on the sea, it did not prevent him from secretly tampered with it.

First of all, the navy is responsible for anti-smuggling operations along the coast of Fujian. Every year, it can capture many ships that try to secretly go out to sea without paying money, and confiscate many ships. In addition, the fleets secretly send some subordinates and ships north or south to Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Shandong and Liangguang. In the sea, he even simply sailed south to the sea in the southern Ocean, disguised himself as a pirate and did some black work.

The scale of such operations is not small. In addition to always keeping the navy in a state of intense rotation training and maintaining navigation technology and combat capabilities, the annual income brought back is also extremely considerable. The profits they earn are almost enough to support the whole navy, and even have considerable surpluses.

As for the army, it is slightly worse than the navy. The army has strict military discipline. Of course, you can't dress up as a pirate and run outside Fujian to be a robber like the navy.

But this does not mean that the army has no income. The army has carried out many military operations on the land of Fujian in recent years. Although their military discipline is strict and does not easily disturb the people, it does not mean that they do not find ways to get money.

By suppressing bandits, they can still have quite rich capture after every victory. In addition to providing Taiwan with prisoners of immigrants, they can also obtain a lot of wealth.

Even if it is to be handed over to the Fujian official, Yu Xiaotian will not be so stupid that he will hand over all the captured goods, and he will definitely withhold most of his property for his own use.

In addition, there are also many big people who are hostile to sea wolves in Fujian. After all, Yu Xiaotian and his men have robbed business everywhere on land and taken away many of their vested interests over the years, so Yu Xiaotian's behavior is very hateful.

Therefore, many big families naturally have to secretly fight against Yu Xiaotian. There are always some blind people who steal cold people. In order to make a fortune, they even don't hesitate to hire a murderous conspiracy to stab Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian is definitely not the kind of kind of good men and women. He will certainly not ignore such enemies. He can even say that he will definitely repay such people.

It must not be possible to send troops to kill them, but Yu Xiaotian does not mind making some shady means to deal with these people.

The best way is to find out that after someone opposes them, there will soon be bandits near these large families. Before long, mountain robbers and bandits will raid the castles of these large families, or simply blackmail them by tying meat tickets, which can often destroy these large families who oppose him and kill their families. Some people simply evaporate from the whole family for no reason.

Once these big families who are against him are knocked out, these mountain robbers and robbers will soon be quickly "exterminate" by Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian's men will immediately appear on the territory of these large families, softly and hard to annex the rest of the land and houses of these large families.

As long as Yu Xiaotian's men intervene, few people dare to play against Yu Xiaotian. As long as someone tries to take the opportunity to make a profit, his family is doomed to be unlucky.

Therefore, in recent years, the army has used this method to kill many gentry against Yu Xiaotian and gained a lot of benefits in the whole territory of Fujian.

Although many people once suspected that this was Yu Xiaotian's secret instructions and once jointly pressured the government to thoroughly investigate, the final verification seemed to be completely unreachable to Yu Xiaotian and had no choice but to do so.

After a long history, many people are not stupid. Even if they know that it is Yu Xiaotian's secret work, they can't grasp other people's handle. They can only take off their teeth and swallow blood into their stomachs. Therefore, those who are hostile to Xiaotian gradually dare not fight against Yu Xiaotian, but Yu Xiaotian robbed him. In their business, they can only stare and dare not do anything more to fight against or retaliate against Xiaotian or the Sea Wolf Group.

So now Yu Xiaotian is in Fujian and can almost walk horizontally. Few people dare to masturb his tiger beard, and the army has obtained a lot of resources. Basically, there is almost no big problem in supporting the army. If you add those commercial interests, Yu Xiaotian will feed so many soldiers, basically only A profitable business.

This time, Yu Xiaotian's layout of Shandong Denglai and other places, with the gradual feedback of intelligence, Yu Xiaotian began to prepare secretly after feeling that there was no deviation in historical development.

He entrusted this matter to the General Staff to be specifically responsible. Only the core staff members know the situation and are specifically responsible for the formulation and implementation of the plan.

At present, Fang An is old, smart, and also literate. In recent years, Yu Xiaotian has given him a lot of military strategies, and asked Lin Yiyang and some counselors to be responsible for explaining to him, and will discuss with him from time to time. Fang An now dares not say that he has read a lot of military strategies. But at least it has improved greatly compared with the past.

Whether it is the vision, the degree of meticulousness and even the control of the overall view, Fang An has now improved many times compared with the past.

Therefore, Fang An is no longer in charge of local affairs in freshwater, but has been appointed as the chief of staff of the General Staff by Yu Xiaotian.

Fang An also officially became the second person in the Sea Wolf Army, except for Yu Xiaotian, and was fully responsible for the command of the entire sea wolf's military system.

He also gathered dozens of young and flexible staff to assist him in his work. This time, Fang Anlai's plan for the layout was specifically responsible for arranging and planning.

Yu Xiaotian named a "secret thorn" for this plan. The whole plan is called the secret thorn plan, which represents this action and will be the first time that the sea wolf has officially launched a secret thorn in the north.

As time went by, the huge hand that controlled history continued to push the vehicles of history and slowly pushed forward.

During the secret preparation period of the Sea Wolf Group, it was located in the northeast of Ninghai Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and a small village that was not usually eye-catching on the shore of Yangma Island across the sea. In these months, it suddenly became lively.

A large number of farmers in Ninghai Prefecture and even farther away, especially bricklayers, have heard that Xishan Village in Ninghai Prefecture is now going to build a wall and build a fishing port wharf on the shore, which requires a lot of labor.

In recent years, natural disasters have occurred in Dengzhou Prefecture. The temperature in winter is extremely low, and there is little rain in summer. Many places are green and yellow. There have already been signs of a major disaster. Many farmers have been hungry all year round. I dare not say that Dengzhou is now full of hunger everywhere, but from time to time there will be people falling by the roadside starvation. Human corpse.

If people are poor, they will think of change. Some hungry people can't survive. Naturally, some strong people stand out and gather for Wang Xiao to become bandits. In addition, in the past two years, there are also many Liaodong Han people who have crossed the sea and fled to the area of Denglai. These refugees who fled from Liaodong have no cone under the land on Denglai. They The arrival has also increased the pressure on Denglai.

The local people in Shandong naturally reject these refugees who fled from Liaodong. These refugees who fled from Liaodong are quite tough and have no way to make a living, so they naturally have to take risks to do some capitalless business.

So the situation in the whole Denglai area has been very tense in the past two years. Large and small groups of bandits can be said to be as many as cattle. Today, this group of bandits have just passed, and tomorrow the bandits will attack again, making villages in many places in Shandong in danger, not to mention all parts of Dengzhou Prefecture in the whirlpool.
