Chapter 137 Attack on the Ship
Seawolves make money quickly, but the people who deal with them also know that they spend money quickly. In the second half of the fourth year of the apocalypse, the sea wolves poured out almost everything and secretly recruited immigrants around the coast.
Moreover, the sea wolf also semi-publicly announced that anyone who is willing to immigrate to Taiwan Yuan Island will pay three taels of resettlement, a set of farm tools, and one cow for every three families. The land they expanded will be owned by themselves. The tax will be waived in the first year and halved in the third year of the second year. At the same time, they can also be protected by the sea wolf.
At first, the publicity effect was not very good. Although the sea wolf had a good reputation in Fuzhou in the past two years, the coastal people were not seriously affected by it, and even their behavior benefited many fishermen, after all, they are still famous as thieves, and many people still don't want to believe them.
However, after the end of the fourth year of the apocalypse, this situation began to improve, not because the people changed their attitude towards sea wolves, but because some people confirmed their honest attitude towards sea wolves.
The first group of immigrants who were deceived into settling on Nanri Island. After settling in Nanri Island for more than a year, they gradually found that although the sea wolves were pirates, they acted very differently from other pirates. They must practice their words and treated them as immigrants. After arriving at Nanri Island, they did not dare to say They have no worries about food and clothing, but life is getting better day by day, which makes them feel that they are finally looking forward to it again.
So these people were instructed by the sea wolf to send them back to their hometown, promote the recruitment of landless villagers for the sea wolf, and emigrated to Taiwan Yuan Island to cultivate.
After someone appeared and said, it was much easier to do this matter. The people were more willing to believe in the word of mouth of their fellow villagers. Now they are more moved when they see their hometowns returning home, and it looks much more beautiful than before, so they begin to be moved.
In fact, many people in modern times do not understand the fanatical pursuit of land by the ancients. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, social contradictions accumulated over time and reached a very high level. Land annexation has also reached a very serious level. A large amount of land was occupied by dignitaries through various means, making a considerable number of farmers The people have become landless farmers.
The idea of farmers is very simple, that is, they can own a piece of land of their own, which is better than anything else, which has penetrated into the bone marrow of farmers.
They have been working hard on land for decades. Not only can they afford the land, but they can't even keep the land they used to own. Now they know that someone is willing to cultivate the land for free, and the reclaimed land is under their name. Such a huge ** is not understandable by modern people.
In the eyes of many farmers, in order to get a piece of land of their own, they can give up everything for this. In addition, some people secretly appeared and encouraged them to apply for recruitment, so gradually more and more landless farmers began to say that they were willing to try.
Nowadays, sea wolves are very experienced in operating this kind of thing. They have set up routes or fine works in many places on land. After receiving the news that someone is willing to go to Taiyuan Island for immigrants, they will take the initiative to contact them as soon as possible, and then take them to the coastal area and concentrate on the shore. People.
These immigrants will fill a boat if they have enough money. They will be shipped immediately and send them to Xiaori Island in the north of Nanri Island. They will have a unified medical examination on the island, and then be quarantined for about a week. Sea Wolf distributed the originally promised resettlement fees and various agricultural tools. At the same time, they will also temporarily select a stew manager as their spokesperson and be responsible for managing these immigrants on behalf of the sea wolf.
Of course, if the sea wolf talks to these immigrants, it will also talk to these stewuls, and the treatment for them will be relatively better.
Overall, in addition to the necessary simple quarantine, these immigrants were not allowed to rest at the temporary transit station before being sent to Jilong Bay and Danshui Village. Yu Xiaotian also arranged special personnel to instill some sense of obedience in these immigrants and tell them that after arriving at the new immigration point, they must You must follow the instructions of the sea wolf. One is to avoid conflicts with local old immigrants, and the other is to learn to protect yourself.
After thinking about these immigrants, Yu Xiaotian finally decided to implement a semi-military management, drawing on the later armor protection system to manage the immigrants.
The armor protection system can still play a better management role in this era. If these immigrants from all over the world do not have an effective system to manage it, they will be confused when they arrive at the new immigration point, and they will fight with each other internally. I want them to expand steadily.
Therefore, the implementation of the armor protection system is a very good way to manage these immigrants. The basic unit of the armor protection system is a household as a unit. Each household has one head, ten households are selected as one head, ten A as one insurance, and the personnel sent by the sea wolf are responsible for the management of this insurer.
In principle, the new immigration point is based on Bao as a unit, and there are exactly 100 households, forming a large immigrant village. Each household has one Ding. As Jiading, he is engaged in agriculture on weekdays. Agricultural leisure should be led by the chief security chief for military training. Once something happens, Jia Ding needs to take up arms under the leadership of Chief A and be uniformly dispatched by the chief security chief to defend him. Our immigrant village.
In this way, an immigrant village has a reserve force of about 100 people at any time. With the assistance of other young people in the village, the self-defense ability of an immigration point is quite good. As long as the wall is built, these new immigrant villages can have a strong self-defense.
Such an armor protection system is very beneficial for sea wolves to control the immigrants on the current territory. If the sea wolf needs to expand their army in the future, they can even directly recruit Jiading into the army. These immigrants are the resources for their sea wolf to expand their army in the future.
And immigrants benefit from the life given to them by the sea wolf, and form a community with the sea wolf in their interests. Naturally, they will also be one with the sea wolf, and they will not worry about not helping the sea wolf in the future.
Therefore, the immigration to Taiwan Yuan Island had been fully spread by the end of the fourth year of the Apocalypse. By the end of the year, the sea wolf had migrated nearly 2,000 people beyond the Tamsui River, and four large migration points were formed around Danshui Village, becoming the backbone of Danshui Village.
Overall, in the past few months at the end of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the work of the sea wolf in Jilong Bay and Danshuizhai has been comprehensively carried out, and the progress can be said to be quite good.
However, at the end of the year, the sea area around Chaozhou Quanzhou became less calm. From the beginning of November, several ships of unknown origin suddenly appeared on the sea south of Quanzhou, setting off a bloody storm in this large area of waters.
And for the sudden appearance of these ships of unknown origin, I'm afraid that even Chu Cailao and his men are the most depressed.
Because after a period of time, they gradually found that these strange-shaped boats were specifically aimed at their Chu Cai.
In less than a month from the beginning of November to the beginning of December, Chu Cailao and his shopkeepers actually folded more than a dozen ships in the hands of these ships of unknown origin.
At first, Mr. Chu Cai didn't care much about this matter. He felt that the sea was so big that there were so many people in their business. These boats must also be their peers, but they just fished their hands on his territory.
But after he heard that his men had lost several ships in a row, he realized that these ships of unknown origin were probably not as simple as he thought. These boats seemed to be specially designed to pick the ships under his Chu Cai's old man.
Chu Cailao began to pay attention to these several boats that inexplicably appeared on his territory. He sent people to start to search for the news of these ships of unknown origin, intending to take down these boats to see who dared to run to his ground and make trouble for him.
However, the information collected made Chu Cai scratch his head a little and wanted to revenge, but found that the matter was not as simple as he thought.
Because he had never seen these boats, he only heard the men who escaped their attack that these boats were as difficult to deal with as ghosts.
No one can tell how many such boats they have. In short, these boats look strange. These ships are narrow, the port is low, and the overtime is straight, and there is only a mast. They use soft sails and have amazing speed. They are far from the shape of the Ming Dynasty. They look a little like Thai ships. But it feels a little different, because they have seen many Thai boats before, but they have never seen similar boats.
The hull of this kind of ship that attacked them is not as big as the big ships used by the Taisi people. It looks like about 150 to 200 materials, but the speed of the ship is very fast, and it is like a wind on the sea, and it is also extremely flexible.
These boats always act two or three together, specializing in launching a sudden attack when Chu Cai's old man's ship is left alone, and they never reason. Once they appear, they immediately launch an attack unceremonially, leaving no chance for Chu Cai's old man at all.
What's more frightening is that in addition to the speed of these ships, their ships are also equipped with a lot of sharp Hongyi cannons. The cannons on their ships are not only far away, but also very accurate. They can fire shells beyond the 200 steps of the old ship of Chu Cai, and the shells are fierce and accurate.
Often, after Chu Cai's men met them, they could almost say that they had no power to fight back. In a short short time, they broke the ship, the mast fell, and even the ship was destroyed.
What makes Chu Cai understand more is that these ships don't seem to care much about the goods on his ships. If they can rob them, they will rob them. If they can't, they will directly destroy his ships, and then they will go away.
This makes Chu Cai always confused. What on earth are these unidentified ships trying to do? Why don't they care about the goods, but only want to destroy his ships?
There is only one reason why the other party does this, that is revenge! It must be that Chu Cai always offended someone. Now people don't want to tear up with him face to face and play with them in this way to retaliate against them.
Thinking of this, Chu Cai is old and angry. Now he looks at the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Although Chu Cai always dares not say that he is the number one pirate, he can basically count his peers who are similar to or beyond his strength.
Who is so bold that he dares to retaliate against him like this? So when Chu Cai reached the twelfth lunar month, he really couldn't sit still. He ordered his shopkeepers everywhere to gather their men and go all out to sea to patrol these ships specifically for them, so as to find a way to catch them and find out who ordered these boats.
In a word, Chu Cai is about to be driven crazy by these inexplicable boats.
