Daming pirates

Yu Xiaotian suddenly felt a little tired. Over the past few years, he had almost never stopped. He was fighting with the Sharks Gang, Hunjiang Long, Chu Cai Lao, and now the government, and he would probably fight again in the future.

He had to fight the Spaniards, and he might soon have to fight Zheng Yiguan. He himself could not predict how many battles he would have to fight in the future.

But now he also knows that since he set foot on this road, there is no turning back. Doing this on this sea is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. A slight mistake may cause his ship to be destroyed.

He died and sunk forever in this sea. At most, it can only become a topic of conversation that some people occasionally think of.

Now he is no longer fighting for him alone. Not to mention the children he adopted as his adopted sons and daughters, Lan'er and Xiu'er are both about to give birth soon, and his two children will be born soon.

Yes, even if it was just for these two children, he would go on.

Thinking of this, he braced himself, rubbed his face, stood up and walked into the yard, asking Liu Wang to send someone to call Lin Yiyang. These things have become a bit complicated recently, and he needs a smarter person by his side to help him analyze it.

, and currently, Lin Yiyang is the only suitable candidate, and others cannot provide him with much useful advice on these matters.

Lin Yiyang has been staying in Tamsui City for more than half a year to work as the civil affairs manager. Although this guy has never been an official, he is quite capable and has a few skills in civil affairs.

After he arrived in Tamsui City, he took over all civil affairs affairs from Fang An. He first established a relatively complete administrative management system, starting from the Tamsui City level, to the township, and then to the village level and three levels below.

level management, each village has re-appointed village chiefs.

It turns out that in the old immigrant villages, most of them are gathered by families, so their patriarchs or people with high prestige in the family serve as the people. In the new immigrant villages, some elderly and respected people in the village are chosen to serve. Usually, the neighbors in the village

Small disputes between villages will be resolved by them on the spot. If there is friction between villages, it will be handed over to the township magistrate in the township above to coordinate and resolve. If the township magistrate in the township cannot resolve it, then it will be handed over to the township magistrate.

Go to the Tamsui City General Management Office for determination.

Considering that the natives are still a threat here, and the Sea Wolf tribe alone is responsible for maintaining the security of each village, it is obvious that the Sea Wolf members in Tamsui City are insufficient in manpower, and the limited garrison is exhausted for this, not to mention that as the number of immigrants increases,

As more and more people come, the villages in the immigration area are expanding larger and farther around. Once something happens to a village, even if the news is reported to Tamsui City, Tamsui City will not have time to respond.

Therefore, each village must organize the young people in the village. According to the parlance of this era, it is training and group training. The young people in the village are called Xiangyong. They must set aside a few days every month to fight with sea wolves.

The soldiers sent people to each village to train the local braves.

In addition, each township organizes a militia team. This militia team has dozens of township warriors on call at all times, led by two Sea Wolf personnel. The township warriors are drawn from each village, and each village has one person.

Several village warriors should be dispatched every month to join the militia in the countryside and be on standby to deal with possible harassment by natives or small groups of pirates coming ashore.

In this way, once Tamsui City encounters a large-scale enemy attack, each township can immediately dispatch a considerable number of rural warriors to Tamsui City to participate in the defense. The overall structure is basically the same as the local civilian armed forces in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the food for the permanent militia, each township and village is responsible for raising it. Tamsui City gives each township a fixed amount of subsidies every month, so that those rural warriors who go to the township to prepare for regular militia can get a certain subsidy, so that they will not be left in the township in vain.

Staying there for a month can ensure their daily needs.

In addition, recruiting Xiangyong as members of the standing militia will, for a farming society like this, take away the strong labor force from their families, which will affect their family's farming to a certain extent.

So Lin Yiyang ordered each village to transfer Xiangyong to the township as a standing militia. Other Xiangyong in the village should take on the farming affairs of the transferred Xiangyong's family and help the transferred Xiangyong's family.

Completing farmland tillage or watering will not affect their family's farmland production.

And when we were on land, although every township and village also had the habit of training local braves, and the township would also organize team training for local defense, but on land every township and village had the final say.

When working on duty, the burden will be passed on to the small households in the village, and they must bear their own food and drink expenses. On the other hand, families with large families do not have to bear these expenses, which often results in some small households

Families went bankrupt because of such assignments.

Here in Tamsui City, Lin Yiyang will never allow such a thing to happen. Sea Wolf will not let the big families in these immigrant villages take advantage of this. After he took office, he immediately conducted a thorough survey of the population of each village. All immigrants

The villagers in the village are registered on a household basis, and the working-age workers are clearly marked on the household registration. When drawing, the numbers are drawn according to the proportion, so that the big families cannot pass on this kind of work to the small families.

Moreover, sometimes there will be some wealthy families and wealthy official and gentry families on the mainland who are unwilling to provide services, so they privately spend money to hire poor families in the village to provide services for them to deal with such tasks. Here in Tamsui City, it is also said that

It is completely forbidden. Once someone is found to evade such a mission, they will be fined a large sum of money at the least, and most of their family's land will be confiscated. Those who escape from the business trip will be sent to a hard labor camp for half a year to one year.

years of time.

Therefore, many of the ills on land are basically banned here in Tamsui City, making civil affairs here more fair.

As for the training of militia teams and the formation of team training in each village, each village has acquired basic self-protection capabilities. Even if there is something that the village cannot handle, the militia team in the township will be able to respond within a short time.

, rushed to the scene of the accident for reinforcements.

As for the training of these rural warriors and militiamen, it is left to Fang An and others to dispatch soldiers to various townships and villages to train these rural warriors. Of course, the training of rural warriors cannot reach the level of newcomers in the new camp and

The soldiers train on a daily basis, but they are required to master relatively simple coordination techniques and certain fighting techniques.

In terms of weapon configuration, they are mainly cold weapons, mostly single-sword spears and shields. They are also equipped with some bows and crossbows to give them the minimum combat effectiveness.

This has a great advantage, that is, through this method, all immigrants here are basically made into soldiers, and almost all working-age workers must undergo a certain degree of militarized sex at a certain time every month.

Once the sea wolves need it in the future, they can recruit newcomers from among them. After only a short period of training, they can be used.

This approach is actually to raise soldiers among the people, so that Sea Wolf does not have to raise a large number of regular soldiers in peacetime, which can save a lot of money and resources. However, if needed, they can be obtained from immigrants in a short time.

Collect a considerable number of basic militiamen and integrate them into regular combat camps. It only takes a short time to put them into combat.

Moreover, these militiamen often have opportunities for actual combat. As the number of immigrants in Tamsui City increases, and the area opened up becomes larger and larger, they will inevitably conflict with the indigenous people and occupy the living space of the local indigenous people. Although the indigenous people are in

After being beaten several times by the sea wolf, his behavior has somewhat restrained. However, as the sea wolf continues to increase the number of immigrants and build new immigrant villages, there will still be many conflicts between them, and small conflicts often occur.

Therefore, the militiamen of various townships and villages often participate in some small conflicts with the natives. Although these conflicts are sometimes just small fights, they can't even hurt people's lives. At most, they can break their heads, but over time,

Even if it lasts a long time, it can still effectively temper these militiamen.

Also, as Tamsui City becomes larger and larger, the number of ships traveling here is also increasing, which has caused some small groups of pirates to covet this area, including some from Fujian, Guangdong and even small groups of Japanese.

The pirates discovered that large areas of immigrant villages and pioneering farmland had appeared in Tamsui, so they knew that this was a forbidden land for sea wolves, but they still came here to try their luck.

Although Tamsui City was developed on both sides of the Tamsui River, it is relatively close to the seaside, and there are not many dangerous places on the seaside. A small group of pirates can still sneak ashore sometimes, but for the immigrant villages that are relatively close to the shore,

Conduct harassment.

Most of the time, the brave villagers in the immigrant village can deal with the harassment of such a small group of pirates. Even if they can't stand it, they can run back to the village to spread smoke and ask for help, and the village militia will rush over to help immediately.

In this way, the trouble of a small group of pirates coming to harass this place was solved. In addition, with the completion of Tamsui City, Yu Xiaotian also tilted his manpower and material resources towards this direction and purchased several patrol boats here.

The intensity of patrols on the sea outside Tamsui City was intensified. During this period, several small groups of pirates who tried to try their luck here were caught one after another, which basically curbed this situation.

By the end of the fifth year of Tianqi, all the situations in Tamsui City had basically stabilized. Lin Yiyang basically ended his mission in Tamsui City and handed over the affairs of Tamsui City's civil affairs manager to a man named him.

Tian Fengjiang's classmate and friend was recalled by Yu Xiaotian to Nanyue Island and continued to be his adviser.

After Lin Yiyang returned to Nanyue Island, he gave a work report on his work in Tamsui City in the past six months in public in the council hall, describing his work there during this period and some of his achievements.

In this regard, the leaders of the Sea Wolves gained another understanding of Lin Yiyang's abilities, which completely affirmed Lin Yiyang's abilities and made Lin Yiyang's position among the Sea Wolves more stable.
