Daming pirates

Chapter 35 Manpower Dilemma

Although most people threw themselves into the arms of the sea wolf without hesitation in order to survive, in the end, three people stayed where they were and did not go to the beach. The black head glanced at these three people and asked sternly: "You three Have you thought about it?"

One of them looked at the black head and nodded silently. The other two also looked at the leader with a determined look on their faces and nodded together.

This was a bit strange for Blackhead. He turned to the prisoners who had expressed their intention to join them and asked, "What do these three guys do? Do any of you know them?"

"Replying to this uncle, they are not simple! The person standing in the middle is Chen Jiu's brother Chen Gan! He used to be our second in charge! The other two are his cronies, they will not join you! "Someone immediately revealed the identities of these three people.

When Heitou heard this, he immediately became happy and thought that he had caught a big fish. He quickly sent people back to the boat to report the news to Yu Xiaotian. After a while, Yu Xiaotian sent Liu Wang over. After whispering a few words to Heitou, Heitou immediately waved his hand, and several of his men rushed over. They held Chen Qian and his two cronies down and tied them up. No matter how they struggled and resisted, they dragged him They were thrown into the boat and sent to Yu Xiaotian's boat.

After the two to three hundred prisoners arrived at Nanri Island, they were re-selected and registered. Everyone first reported their name, place of origin, and what they had done under Hun Jianglong before. Then they were asked to authenticate each other and list them among them. Some leaders and Chen Jiu's cronies were screened out.

As prisoners, they have no human rights. After arriving at Nanri Island, these prisoners were imprisoned in a previous training camp. This training camp has now been renamed an isolation camp.

After all the prisoners arrived here, they were put in a wooden shackle, then stripped of their clothes and driven into several fences like animals. They were made unable to move and had no choice but to let some people with sharp razors go up to them without saying anything. Shaved their heads completely.

Then the shaved people were driven into a fence, and each person was given a bucket. They had to go to the sink to pick up a bucket of water. They were also given a soap locust, a loofah pulp or a bristle. Let the two of them cooperate with each other, and use soap locust and bristle brushes or loofah pulp to brush them cleanly from head to toe.

This process frightened many of the descendants. They wanted to protect the hair on their heads, but they couldn't help it. They could only have their heads shaved bald in fear, and then they were brushed like bald pigs.

At this time, everyone received a simple pair of large pants to cover their shame, and a small gown was also given to them to block them from the blazing sun.

This group of prisoners did not have any personal belongings. When they were captured, everything that should be confiscated had already been plundered.

Therefore, there is basically no need to register any personal items with them. When each person is given a small coat and large pants, they are also given a small brush with a short handle.

This made these people even more confused about how to use the small brush. Later, after someone showed them the use of the small brush, they realized that this thing was a toothbrush for brushing their teeth.

Yu Xiaotian didn't have a toothbrush for a long time in this era, so he could only make do with some salt spray and rub his teeth with his fingers. Later, when he was on Treasure Island, Yu Xiaotian specially customized a batch of bristle toothbrushes on land.

This solved the problem of brushing teeth, but there was no need to think about toothpaste for the time being. He didn't know how to produce it, so he could only use salt spray for the time being.

Nowadays, everyone in the Sea Wolf tribe is required to use this kind of toothbrush. They must brush their teeth once every morning and evening to ensure the oral hygiene of these guys. This will save everyone from a mouth full of bad teeth. If you spend a long time at sea,

In terms of navigation, this alone can kill many people.

At first, some people were not used to this kind of lifestyle. They felt that the boss had to take care of his subordinates' teeth, which was too broad. But gradually, people discovered that brushing teeth was still beneficial, and they got used to this kind of life.

Brushing teeth has become a necessary thing in housekeeping, so these newcomers are naturally not exempt from the custom and are ordered to brush their teeth with this kind of toothbrush twice a day.

Of course, the treatment enjoyed by the subordinates cannot be compared with that of the Sea Wolf tribe. At the beginning, the quality of their food was not very good. They only had two meals a day, one meal was dry and the other was watery, and there was nothing

The meat supply is mainly just some shredded potato rice or dried vegetables and brown rice.

But for a group of guys who have been hungry for more than 20 days, this kind of food is still better than when they were on a desert island. Even if they eat two meals a day, it can basically satisfy them and prevent them from eating.

I worry about being hungry every day.

After the Jiangzhong Gang was forced to complete the so-called cleanup, they were quarantined for about ten days. Some sick people were isolated separately. The Sea Wolf Gang also sent a doctor to conduct a so-called physical examination on these people.

, the sick people also received a certain degree of treatment.

After the expiration of the tenth day of isolation, under Yu Xiaotian's instruction, this group of subordinates did not start training immediately. Instead, they were dragged into working as laborers, helping to build docks and trestles on Nanri Island. Their daily meals were also reduced.

The improvement was three times, and a certain amount of salted fish or salted whale meat was added to one meal every three days to ensure their physical strength.

Although these subordinates are a little reluctant to do such hard work, they are now dependent on others. In order to survive, they can only act according to the faces of the Sea Wolf tribe and finish work honestly on time. Some people are impatient during this period.

There were also some guys who were driven to do this kind of thing and took the opportunity to make trouble and escape from Nanri Island. As a result, these people met a tragic end. Yu Xiaotian was now much tougher than before, ruthlessly killing them.

Some of the people who were trying to cause trouble were caught out, their heads chopped off on the spot, and hung high above the gate of the isolation camp. In this way, the rest of the guys were easily suppressed.

With the addition of this group of free labor, the original tight labor force on Nanri Island has also been alleviated. Some tasks that could not be carried out due to lack of manpower can now be moved forward with conditions.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian was finally able to take a breather and handed over the training of the troops to Wang Hong and others, while he turned his main energy to the construction of Nanri Island.

Nanri Island covers an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers, and there is relatively sufficient land for Yu Xiaotian to do his work. Prior to this, Yu Xiaotian had actually conducted a comprehensive survey of Nanri Island and selected a number of available areas.

The cultivated land was handed over to idlers and others who were responsible for clearing up wasteland and cultivating it.

Although the land on Nanri Island is not very suitable for farming, Yu Xiaotian still demanded that a large amount of land must be opened up and cultivated, so that many wastelands on the island were gradually reclaimed and turned into farmland. After two or three years, Nanri Island

Although it is not yet guaranteed to be self-sufficient in food, it at least has the ability to meet its own food needs. In addition, Sea Wolf helps its own fishing industry, which will reduce its dependence on land in the future.

While planning the land, Yu Xiaotian also set aside enough space for commercial development. At the same time, relying on Dazhai on Nanri Island, a large piece of land was planned to be set aside in the south of Dazhai as the future of Nanri Island.

Used in Hishima's workshop area.

In addition, he also set aside a place on the original site of the boathouse opened by the Shark Gang on Nanri Island to restore the boathouse. It will be used as a shipbuilding and ship repairing place for the Sea Wolf Gang in the future, so as to avoid allowing Seawolf ships to go there again.

Finding a shipyard on land to repair the ship not only reduces a lot of unnecessary expenses, but also protects their needs and meets logistical needs.

Shortly after the Battle of Dongchi Island, Yu Xiaotian began to implement his original plan and began to issue traffic flags to some merchant ships on Nanri Island. All ships that frequently traveled to the coast of Fuzhou only needed to pay a certain amount to Sea Wolf.

For the amount of silver, you can receive a command flag of different colors.

Any ship holding such a command flag will be exempted if it encounters a ship from the Sea Wolf Gang along the coast of Fuzhou, from Pinghai Bay in the south to Huangqi Peninsula in the north.

The ship will not be hijacked by the Sea Wolf Gang, including those traveling along the coast of Fuzhou, and no force will be used against them. This can basically guarantee their safety during this part of the voyage.

For merchant ships that ply the coast of Fuzhou all year round, this is equivalent to giving them a safety guarantee. Paying money can basically guarantee their safety, but some people are lucky and don't want to pay, then they can only

You wish you luck, once you are encountered by the Sea Wolf Gang or the pirates in Fuzhou, they will never let them go. Not only will the cargo on the ship not be considered, but if the ship is spotted by the pirates, they will also be taken away.

To be finished.

In this way, Yu Xiaotian has established an order in the coastal area of ​​Fuzhou that he has the final say. The next step depends on whether these maritime merchants can honestly act in accordance with his ideas.

Regarding the collection of tolls, Yu Xiaotian temporarily handed it over to Zhao Mazi for management. The specific affairs were temporarily under the jurisdiction of the council. However, Yu Xiaotian requested that the tolls collected be listed separately as the next step for him to implement the new

Fund reserves for the project.

After this battle, Sea Wolf made huge profits. Both overtly and secretly, Sea Wolf made huge profits, which filled Yu Xiaotian's pocket again, which also allowed him to finally do something he had wanted to do for a long time.

What's done.

Not two days after Yu Xiaotian led his troops back to Nanri Island, he summoned the shipwright Guo Fu to his meeting hall and held a discussion. At Guo Fu's request, Yu Xiaotian personally wrote and listed out

Made a list.

This list includes two parts. One part is a manual matter. Restoring the boathouse on Nanri Island is a quite large project. It requires re-dredging the two docks, rebuilding the water retaining dock door, and

Guo Fu conservatively estimated that laying various slides and repairing drainage facilities would require at least hundreds of strong laborers to meet such a workload.

In terms of manpower, although Yu Xiaotian now has two to three hundred prisoners under Chen Jiu available for use, Yu Xiaotian has already devoted these people to the project of building the trestle and wharf. After the completion of the trestle and wharf project,

, Yu Xiaotian did not intend to just use these prisoners as laborers.

After all, a considerable number of these people have been on the sea for a long time, and with a little training they can be good sailors. It can be said to be a waste to only let them do such menial work on the island.

As a result, some of the eliminated people from this group can only be sent to repair the boathouse. There are still not enough manpower. Moreover, the affairs of the boathouse are not waiting for everyone, and it is also a very urgent matter. Waiting is not enough.

(From now on, we will resume two updates a day! Never break your promise! Yesterday, I felt like I was trampled by a herd of cattle. I had various pains all over my body. I didn’t know what was going on. It was only last night that I discovered that I had an inexplicable fever.

! I ran to hang up a bottle of water in the middle of the night! I was confused about coding today, and my thoughts felt a little inconsistent! I was confused! Sorry!)
