Daming pirates

Jilongzhai basically has nothing to worry about at the moment. Everything is moving forward step by step. The construction work of Dazhai has basically been completed. The next step is to fill the village with various workshops and

The number of immigrants here has been increased.

In the future, the main industry of Jilongzhai will basically be determined when Xiaotian came here. From now on, the main industry here will basically be determined to be fishery, whaling and related industries.

Jilong Bay will also serve as an important fishing port for Hailang in the future. In the next step, Yu Xiaotian plans to develop it into an important maritime trade port for Hailang and serve as an entrepot base for the Ming Dynasty, Japan and Ryukyu.

After the typhoon passed, Yu Xiaotian took Lin Yiyang around Jilong Bay for a long time, and climbed up to inspect the surrounding situation. He ordered Heitou and Sun Baoqiang to set up some outposts on the high ground around Jilong Bay so that they could directly observe.

The nearby situation prevents the enemy from sneaking into Jilong Bay from other places and launching an unexpected attack on Jilong Village.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also personally tested the soldiers here. Being familiar with the jungle, he took more than a hundred soldiers from Jilongzhai into the east mountain forest in the name of hunting, divided into groups and started a hunt.

A hunting contest.

The conditions for victory are very simple. Whoever catches more prey among these groups of soldiers within three days will be the winner. Of course, their prey also includes a native tribe in the mountains and forests to the east. This native tribe

The human tribe has never had contact with the sea wolves before, and has always been hostile to the people in Jilong Village.

In the past year, some of the personnel sent by Sea Wolf to explore the east side have disappeared in their territory, but no one has been found alive or dead, so Heitou and the others have always suspected that this aboriginal tribe did this.

, but this matter has not been verified before.

However, during this period, another nearby native tribe that had contact with Sea Wolf again informed them of the news, saying that their tribesmen unexpectedly discovered that it was this native tribe that attacked and killed the personnel sent by Sea Wolf to explore the way.

So Heitou and the others originally planned to use troops to clean up this native tribe after the typhoon ended. Yu Xiaotian came here at this time, so naturally he wanted to participate in this attack on this native tribe.

The invasion of tribes.

This time, Yu Xiaotian did not gather other native tribes to participate in this matter like the last time. Instead, he decided to let the Sea Wolf solve this problem by themselves. Through this operation, they would test the Sea Wolf tribe in Jilong Village.

The ability to fight in the mountains and forests.

Sun Baoqiang became the planner and commander of this operation. After arranging the affairs of Jilong Village, he began to lead the people into the mountain forest and headed towards Jilong Mountain to the east of Jilong Village.

.

This time Yu Xiaotian and Sun Baoqiang used about 80% of the combat troops in Jilong Village, and brought out a total of more than 100 people from the village, and also brought along fifty native auxiliary troops.

These native auxiliary soldiers were basically some of the native slaves they captured in the early stage. They were originally left in Jilongzhai to be used as coolies by Hailang. However, Heitou and Sun Baoqiang later felt that this seemed a bit wasteful, so they tried to

Some of them are used as guides.

Later, they discovered that these natives were extremely adaptable in the mountains and forests. They could identify the direction in the dense forest and were very vigilant. Some of them could even hunt prey with their bare hands and help the Sea Wolf tribe find their way.

So they selected some of the young men from the native slaves and organized them into auxiliary troops, dedicated to supporting the soldiers in exploring and hunting in the mountains.

After these native auxiliary soldiers stayed in Jilongzhai for a period of time, they gradually adapted to the life here. In addition, they found that living with these outsiders was easier than living in the mountains and forests before.

There are many, and these outsiders are actually not as bad as they think. Once they get familiar with them, these outsiders are not bad to them.

Especially some of the natives who were injured and captured by sea wolves. After arriving at Jilongzhai, someone treated their injuries and saved their lives. Moreover, these outsiders had very magical wound medicine, which could be applied to the wounds.

It can relieve pain and heal wounds, which is much better than the witch doctors of their previous tribes in the mountains and forests.

In addition, they can get clothing here, as well as food in regular and rationed quantities. If they help the sea wolves capture prey, the sea wolf tribe will reward them with meat. In short, the living conditions are pretty good.

In addition, the natives have their own way of cognition. In their view, once the natives are defeated, they will either be captured, killed and eaten by the enemy, or they will become the opponent's slaves, or they will simply join the opponent and become the enemy's slaves.

Tribesmen, they all have this kind of self-consciousness about this.

Now that they are caught by these outsiders, whether they work for them as laborers or as guides, it is at least much better than being killed and eaten, so they are relatively at ease.

In addition, Blackhead and the others deliberately wanted to win over the hearts and minds of these natives. After selecting them as auxiliary soldiers, their treatment was greatly improved. Their food, clothing, and housing were much better than before. This

Helping the natives and auxiliary troops is content with the status quo and is willing to stay and work for the Sea Wolf.

What's more, they are now fearful in their hearts that these outsiders have the power to breathe fire and kill people. They think that these outsiders have magical powers and can control fire and use fire to help them kill people, so they are in awe of the Sea Wolf tribe.

, but there has never been any betrayal. Compared with many people on land, they are much more loyal.

Only then were the abilities of these natives fully explored. In the past few months, they had followed the Sea Wolf tribe into the mountains to hunt. The Sea Wolf tribe had learned a lot of experience in surviving and fighting in the mountains and forests, which made Yu Xiao

Tian finally has a capable team that can fight in the mountains and forests.

In addition, these native auxiliary soldiers can be used as scouts, making their mountain unit's combat capabilities very impressive.

After leaving Jilongzhai, Sun Baoqiang divided the team he brought out into three groups. Each group had three teams, with thirty or forty soldiers, and each group was equipped with twenty native auxiliary soldiers. In this way

, each group of them has quite strong combat effectiveness and can deal with many natives on their own.

The current equipment level of the Sea Wolf tribe has changed from that of a year ago. Now the proportion of musketeers among the Sea Wolf soldiers has reached as high as 40 to 50%, all of which are equipped with standard Nanyue flintlocks.

Each person is equipped with a gun, a bayonet, a bamboo shell grenade and an iron shell grenade. In addition, when going into battle, each person also carries forty rounds of complete ammunition and a small horn bottle containing primer.

The remaining soldiers are mostly spearmen and swordsmen, who can supplement the musketeers. When necessary, they can engage in close combat with the enemy and cover the musketeers. At the same time, because the Sea Wolf musketeers are equipped with bayonets, the musketeers can

They have also gained considerable melee combat capabilities. Therefore, the Sea Wolf soldiers have stronger firepower output capabilities than ordinary armies, while also ensuring that their melee combat capabilities are not inferior to those of the enemy.

And because the Sea Wolf has launched whaling activities in recent years, it has obtained a lot of whale skin. Although the whale skin is not as tough as cowhide or buffalo skin, it is quite good after special treatment. Nowadays, the Sea Wolf soldiers are issued an extra

Whale leather armor, this kind of leather armor is mainly

It covers the chest and abdomen, the front of the shoulders, thighs and upper arms, but does not cover the whole body. Although the protection is slightly lower, it reduces the load on the soldier, so that after wearing the leather armor, the movement of the limbs is not greatly affected.

restrictions to maintain a certain degree of flexibility.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf soldiers are definitely considered an elite force in this era. They can basically compete with the equipment quality of any army in the world. Unfortunately, their number is still a bit too small at present.

It's just not enough to dominate the city. If one day the Sea Wolf's soldiers expand to several thousand people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a team that can compete with them along the southern coast.

Yu Xiaotian's next step is to focus on building such a troop of soldiers and horses, which can be used in land battles with opponents when necessary.

However, it is not an easy task to build a force of thousands of soldiers. The recruitment, training and development of soldiers require considerable resources, and the equipment of each soldier also requires more than ten taels of silver.

Okay, among them, the musketeers' equipment consumes the most. If it is worn neatly all over, it will cost at least more than twenty taels of silver.

If he wanted to build such a force of several thousand men, Yu Xiaotian would have to invest at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This is currently not possible with his current financial resources, so he can only use the policy of elite soldiers.

Satisfy your own needs and strive to enable your subordinates to use one as ten. As for the future, you can only do it slowly.

To make a long story short, this time after Yu Xiaotian followed the Sea Wolf soldiers into the mountains, he did not interfere with Sun Baoqiang's command. Instead, he placed himself in the position of a bystander and coldly observed the training of the Black Heads.

The performance of the mountain troops.

After entering the mountain, this capable team of soldiers performed quite well indeed. The three detachments first advanced rapidly in a marching formation in the mountain, climbing over mountains and ridges through jungles and ravines, avoiding many dangerous places, and managed to achieve great results in a short time.

We arrived at the south side of Jilong Mountain at a fast speed.

Then following Sun Baoqiang's order, the three detachments spread out, keeping a certain distance, and began to form a skirmish formation. With the native auxiliary troops as the forerunners, they ordered the native auxiliary troops to clear the way in front, forming a warning formation and began to enter.

Arriving in the territory of that native tribe.
