Daming pirates

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian pondered for a moment and counted the time in his mind. It was already five years since the Apocalypse, and so far, he had only set up a shelf in Tamsui and Chicken Coop. In fact, his strength

It is still limited, especially in terms of military strength. On the one hand, he has to control such a large territory, and on the other hand, he has to take care of the chicken coop and fresh water. It is indeed a bit difficult to pull the plug.

Moreover, the immigration speed is far from what he expected. He hopes that within this year, the number of immigrants in Danshui and Jilong will reach 10,000, so that the number of immigrants in Jilong and Danshui will reach a certain base. In this way,

From now on, his control over northern Taiwan will become more stable.

If you continue to rely on word of mouth or recruitment in a step-by-step manner, it will indeed be slow, expensive, and the process is cumbersome.

Therefore, the opinion put forward by Fang An and the others is also reasonable. Although using force will bring certain side effects, it may have a certain negative impact on the stability here in the future and leave some hidden dangers, but this will all be done in the future.

A problem that needs to be solved slowly.

In addition, Lin Yiyang, who always reads more and talks less, also raised a question at this time, that is, the sea wolves have now controlled freshwater, chicken coops, and the big island of Nanyue Island. The number of immigrants is also constantly increasing, but it has been

There is no systematic management, which means that Sea Wolf has not formed effective administrative management of these places.

If the Sea Wolf Group is just like other peers, gathering on the sea just for their own comfort, they will do whatever they want with the territory they control, and it doesn't matter if they don't care about it.

Now, after seeing the situation in Tamsui, Lin Yiyang was actually secretly surprised. He felt that Yu Xiaotian's thoughts were far beyond his previous expectations.

Although he had previously felt that Yu Xiaotian was very ambitious and seemed to want to achieve great things, but where was the layout of Nanyue Island? No matter how big Nanyue Island was, it was at best an island near the mainland, and it was still nominally owned by the imperial court.

No matter how hard you try in terms of jurisdiction, it is impossible to separate Nanyue Island from the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But Taiyuan Island is different from Nanyue Island. It is really big, far beyond his previous expectations. According to Yu Xiaotian, the area of ​​Taiyuan Island is almost as big as that of Fujian Province.

, then if he devotes himself to running fresh water and chicken coops, it will not be as simple as a small toss.

Although the scope of his control is still very limited at the moment, as the number of immigrants increases, the Sea Wolf's control area will become larger and larger. He no longer dares to easily predict how far Yu Xiaotian will develop next.

.

All in all, he felt that Yu Xiaotian was playing a big game of chess. So far, Yu Xiaotian was just laying out the layout, and Tamsui and Chicken Coop were just two pieces he clicked on the big chessboard. Nan said

At best, Dao Island is just the first move. It's really hard to say what other shocking moves Yu Xiaotian will make in the future.

And from the current point of view, Yu Xiaotian continues to invest all the funds in his hands into industry, commerce and immigration matters, unlike other colleagues who hoard wealth, which further illustrates what Yu Xiaotian wants.

, far more than he had expected.

After he lay down last night, he had been thinking about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he was secretly surprised. If this continued, one day Yu Xiaotian would control the entire Taiyuan Island, and it might even be possible to rely on his

The military strength is comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty today, and it is even possible to divide the territory and become the king.

When he thought of this, Lin Yiyang broke into a cold sweat and sat up from the bed. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt secretly excited.

He asked himself, for a person like him who had completely given up his career in the Ming Dynasty, why did he risk his own life and follow the pirate Yu Xiaotian when he should have been just hanging out for a day or two?

Lin Yiyang didn't think that he just wanted to have three meals a day, good food and drink, or to be rich and powerful. He thought that he had been studying for many years. If he continued like this, living a life of doing nothing, he would really not be willing to do so.

, this is the reason why he arrived at Nanyue Island in the first place, and after seeing the Nanyue Island run by Yu Xiaotian, he finally accepted Yu Xiaotian's invitation and started to stay and work with Yu Xiaotian.

He just took a fancy to Yu Xiaotian's territory and wanted to personally test how capable he was. When he was studying in the past, he always fantasized that one day he could show off what he had learned and become a high official in the imperial court.

You can even go to court to worship the prime minister and achieve a career.

Nowadays, there is no possibility for him to have an official career in the imperial court. But at this time, Yu Xiaotian provided him with such a world where he could have the opportunity to show what he had learned. This made Lin Yiyang completely excited.

Got up.

So last night he lay in bed, thought for a long time, and felt that now he needed to learn some real skills.

Today, when Yu Xiaotian and the others were sitting there talking about how to speed up immigration, Lin Yiyang's state of mind was already very different from yesterday.

In the past, he still had the feeling of a bystander, watching Yu Xiaotian busy, and only helped out with ideas when needed. It was more of a passive state, and he did not actively and consciously regard himself as a person.

Part of the Sea Wolf.

But when he figured out yesterday that Yu Xiaotian was going to play a big game, he began to adjust his mentality involuntarily, completely immersing himself in this circle, and began to truly put himself in their shoes.

I started thinking about the future development of Sea Wolf.

"Master! Please listen to what I'm saying! I think what Commander Fang said is reasonable! A real man has things to do and things he doesn't do, and sometimes it is necessary to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal!

I admire the fact that the boss is kind-hearted, and we all understand that, and the boss obviously does not want to attract the attention of the government to our Sea Wolf, and there is nothing wrong with doing so!

But now the big boss is definitely eager to gain a foothold in Tamsui and Chicken Coop. Simply recruiting troops and building ships is not enough for the big boss to gain a firm foothold here.

And looking at the current situation, there are so many workshops and boathouses to be opened here, and manpower is needed everywhere, making our current manpower here stretched everywhere.

So continuing as before, using recruitment methods to attract immigrants, or recruiting slaves to increase the manpower here, is obviously a drop in the bucket.

So since this is an extraordinary period, we might as well use some extraordinary means!

Since we are pirates, we don’t necessarily have to sit upright and upright everywhere! Sometimes we should do some cruel things, but we don’t necessarily have to be unable to do them! Being timid is not a long-term solution!

So I think that Commander Fang’s idea is feasible! You might as well give it a try!

In addition, I have some thoughts about Tamsui. So far, I have not been to the chicken coop, but I have basically taken a quick look at the situation on Nanyue Island and Tamsui Village.

I think that the current control method of using the big boss is not a very good method!

Nanyue Island still has a council where they can manage civil affairs, but here in Tamsui, they need Commander Fang and the brothers to take care of everything. In this case, Commander Fang will indeed be very tired and it will be difficult for them not to make mistakes.

!

Therefore, I think that since the big boss wants to develop this area, it is best to have dedicated people in charge of civil affairs in the future. Only in this way can we achieve long-term peace and stability here!"

After Yu Xiaotian listened to Lin Yiyang's words, he pondered for a moment and nodded: "What you said is indeed reasonable. Extraordinary measures must be used in emergency situations! But in this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to negotiate with Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture.

The relationship will become tense!

As for what Mr. Lin just said about having special personnel in charge of civil affairs here, I think this is reasonable. After all, Fang An and you are considered warriors, and are not good at managing civil affairs. Civil affairs itself is very complicated, and it is indeed necessary.

Someone needs to share this burden for you.

Unfortunately, to be honest with you, we have a reputation as pirates. It is really difficult to recruit scholars with this ability! Talents like Mr. Lin are really rare to find! This manpower problem is not

It’s easy to handle!”

Lin Yiyang stood up immediately after hearing this and said: "The boss does not need to be embarrassed by this. In fact, the matter of forcibly seizing immigrants does not have to be done in Fuzhou and Xinghua Prefecture!

And there is another plan, we don’t even need to do it ourselves, we just need to spend some money to attract immigrants, and naturally someone will be willing to help us!"

"Oh? Mr. Lin, you might as well tell me about your method? Can we do this kind of thing from others?" Yu Xiaotian, Fang An and others couldn't help but become curious.

"Of course! You must know that Lin is also from Fujian. I have long heard that some pirates specialize in kidnapping people from the coastal area, either kidnapping people into gangs or selling them into slavery elsewhere. In the past, Japanese pirates were rampant in the coastal area. Every year I don't know what happened.

How many people of the Ming Dynasty were kidnapped, most of them disappeared in the end, and they must have been sold to other places by the Japanese pirates!

If we tell our colleagues that we need a large number of manpower, we can give them a price. No matter what method they use, as long as we can send people over, we will pay per head. In this way, we can solve the problem in a short time.

Manpower issues.

As for the civil affairs in Tamsui, Lin is not talented. If the boss can be trusted, Lin is willing to stay and try his skills! Moreover, Lin has made several friends on land, but now they are not satisfied.

Lin is willing to write to them personally and invite them to come and talk. If he

If you are willing, you can stay and work for the master! I wonder what the master wants?" At this time, it can be said that Lin Yiyang is completely focused on Danshui Village, and he wants to work here with his arms and sleeves rolled up.

With such a posture, he actually offered to help Yu Xiaotian recruit talents.

After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but slap his head. In fact, the method Lin Yiyang mentioned was the slave trade. In this era, pirates from Eastern and Western countries and even some national acts treated some black Africans as livestock.

Caught and trafficked into slavery elsewhere.

And this kind of business does not only exist for black Africans, but also includes Southeast Asian countries and the coastal areas of China. This kind of slave trading business is also very large. Every year, many coastal people are kidnapped by pirates, and some of them are

People were trafficked by pirates to South Asia.

And every year, pirates would kidnap some women from South Asia, even Japan and North Korea, and sell them to the Ming Dynasty. This has already become an industry. Unfortunately, he did not think of this. Today, Lin Yiyang brought it up first, but they

None of these pirates thought of this.

Yu Xiaotian also noticed the changes in Lin Yiyang today. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out why Lin Yiyang had such a change overnight.

He was certain that after seeing the structure of Danshui Village, Lin Yiyang changed his mind a lot and became more proactive. Today he even directly proposed that he was willing to stay here in Danshui Village to help Fang settle down.

When dealing with civil affairs, he must quickly show off his talents and knowledge, so that everyone in Sea Wolf can see what he can do.
