Chapter 191 Inventory 2

I have to say that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were slow about such things. After the sea wolf actually controlled the Zhoushan Islands, the officials of Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jiaxing and other prefectures did not react much. Only after the interests of some people were infringed, they made trouble for a period of time, but When things are irreparable, they can only acquiesce to this situation.

Zhejiang's officers and soldiers have been in less war, and the sailors have also been decadent. For this kind of thing, they are more than weak. Fortunately, after the sea wolf took control of the Zhoushan Islands, they did not do anything recklessly there. On the contrary, it has also calmed the local coastal area, and the number of pirates attacking the shore is decreasing day by day. It turned out that even if the Zhoushan Islands were three places, the government had no influence. Now some people have integrated the pirate forces of the Zhoushan Islands and established an order here, which made the local Ningbo government feel that the pressure suddenly decreased a lot. Therefore, in the past two years, Zhejiang officials actually got used to it.

In the Zhoushan Islands, the Second Fleet also sent a detachment, which is mainly responsible for the control of the sea surface of Hangzhou Bay and the Yangtze River Estuary, which is equivalent to incorporating the coastal area of Nanzhili into their jurisdiction.

As for the Third Fleet, it has now become the Southern Fleet, which is mainly responsible for the control of Guangdong and the Nanyang area, including the control of the sea area of Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island. The home port is directly located in Hong Kong, so that Yu Xiaotian's three fleets are now officially formed, each of which is truly well-named and controlled. Each of the control areas.

Although he has not been able to eliminate all the pirates along the coast of China so far, important waterways, commercial ship access areas and key coastal islands can be basically controlled by him, but at present, he has not invested enough in the navy and has been controlling the development scale of the navy, or However, now his regular navy establishment may produce 50,000 to 60,000 or even hundreds of thousands, all of which are just like playing.

In addition to the formal naval establishment, now he has temporarily separated two departments under the navy, fishing supervision and anti-smuggling, but they are temporarily under the management of the navy. These two departments also have considerable combat strength and can fully cooperate with the main ships of the navy to carry out combat. Usually, they are their own special Either patrol the fishing grounds set up by the sea wolf or carry out anti-smuggling activities on the main channel. These two pieces can bring huge benefits to the sea wolf every year, so they are two income-generating departments.

Like the fishery supervision department, since Yu Xiaotian came up with a way to delineate fishing grounds on the sea for fishermen to operate, the development of coastal fisheries has entered the fast lane.

In the past, coastal fishermen were short of money. Most of them used some very small fishing boats or sampan to fish near the sea. The harvest was not only very dangerous, but also very high. From time to time, they would be harassed by pirates, either forcibly wrapped up to join the pirates, or simply killed.

And their boats are too small and have poor ability to resist wind and waves. Once they are suddenly hit by strong wind and waves on the sea, many fishermen will be buried in the belly of fish.

But since the fishing ground was demarcated, these fishermen's life has been much better. They can go fishing in designated fishing grounds. Although they have to pay fishing taxes to sea wolves, sea wolves' patrol boats are in the fishing grounds, which can provide them with protection. In addition to expelling small pirates to make trouble in the fishing grounds, they can also be at sea. When there were storms and waves, fishermen who were wrecked and fell into the water have rescued at least thousands of fishermen over the years.

In addition, there are heavy camps, with a total of eight heavy camps, each with 40 to 50 standard two-wheeled carriages and four-wheeled carriages, which can transport a large amount of materials for other services.

As for engineers, there are not many, only two engineering battalions. They are divided into ten engineering companies, which are mainly responsible for blasting or digging tunnels during tough battles, and usually mainly cooperate with large-scale military operations.

The cavalry is currently the focus of the Yu family army. Now the Yu family army has armed a total of three cavalry battalions, mainly due to the opening of trade channels with slaves. In addition, after occupying Jeju Island, they have obtained a large number of horses, which can be equipped with three cavalry battalions.

The main soldiers of these three cavalry battalions are mainly from the north, among which Liaodong soldiers and Shandong soldiers account for the vast majority. Some of these northern soldiers were captured at the time of Deng Laiping's rebellion. After brainwashing, they were subdued by the family army. After careful screening, they were absorbed into the army. Being a cavalry,

Many of these Liaodong people have been in contact with horses since childhood. They are familiar with horse nature, are good at horse riding and fighting, and have strong mobile combat ability. I dare not say that they can directly fight directly against the cavalry of Jiannu. However, according to the equipment and training of the Yu family army, they have at least compete with the Guanning army, not to mention the cavalry of the family army, which is mainly responsible for It is not a frontal charge, but mainly used as a light cavalry, responsible for reconnaissance, attack, pursuit, cover and other operations.

Their way of fighting is mainly to cooperate with the main forces, so they will not be concentrated to carry out large-scale cavalry group operations.

At present, Yu Xiaotian has armed three cavalry battalions, which has made him a little overwhelmed. These cavalry are really too expensive. The war horse looks very strong, but in fact it is very delicate. Be careful to serve, and eat a lot. The consumption of a war horse in a day catches up with the consumption of ten infantry, and there are still Special personnel will come to serve them, otherwise there will be problems.

Even if Yu Xiaotian now controls Jeju Island, obtains a large number of horses, and equips so many cavalry, artillery, and heavy soldiers, he really feels uneasirable. Counting these arms alone, he is equipped with more than 10,000 war horses, horseback horses, and many mules. In the short term, he is incapable. , equipped with more horses.

However, the army still felt insufficient, and it was still clamoring to continue to expand the formation of cavalry all day long. This voice really came to Yu Xiaotian's ears, and was slapped to death by Yu Xiaotian. He scolded these army for not being at home and did not know whether it was expensive.

In terms of the army, after all the formations have been assembled, the number has now reached 50,000. In addition to some of these troops stationed in Fujian as officers and soldiers, the rest are in the areas of Taiwan Island, Jeju Island, Haitan Island, Fushan Institute and Zhifu Island. Some of the soldiers will exist as regimental villagers. .

In addition, in the area of Xialong Bay, Yu Xiaotian also stayed two infantry battalions, including two artillery companies, which were used to guard the area of Xialong Bay to prevent the counterattack of the Li Dynasty's army.

This number seems to be very small, but it is a little too little for the area actually controlled by the sea wolf at present.
