Daming pirates

Yu Xiaotian was well aware of the horror of the plague for him. When running the island of Taiwan, what he was most worried about was not the Spanish, Dutch, Zheng Yiguan and the Ming government who would come to trouble him, but all kinds of troubles.

plague.

Although he attached great importance to recruiting various famous doctors and training various junior ambulance soldiers, and even secretly set up drug stores on land, secretly stockpiling and purchasing various medicinal materials on a large scale, the medical level of this era was still at a very primitive stage.

, he has no ability to control a large-scale plague, let alone any modern medicine to treat diseases like malaria.

He can't even produce the most basic bleaching powder of later generations, let alone other disinfectants. The only disinfectant he can use at present is quicklime.

Therefore, if he wants to avoid large-scale plagues in this era, he can only start with prevention, first transform the environment, and then pay attention to sanitary conditions, reduce the possibility of plagues as much as possible, and control the source of infection, starting from the root, so

Although it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it is still much less expensive than trying to control the plague after a large-scale outbreak.

After hearing this, Lu Youxu quickly said yes and promised to get the matter done within a month, and he would never slack off any more. After saying this, Lu Youxu suddenly broke into a cold sweat all over his body.

"You can divide the work into parts and assign the resettlement villages to your subordinates to supervise the matter. If there is a problem in the place where the person is in charge, you can go directly to him to talk about it. If anyone is arrogant about this matter, it will not be taken seriously.

, then I will invite him to stay in the hard labor camp for a while and enjoy the treatment of the hard labor camp!"

The other people in charge of civil affairs who came with Lu sometimes were all horrified after hearing this. They quickly knelt on the ground and agreed repeatedly. No one dared to be careless again.

Seeing that these guys were frightened, Yu Xiaotian let them get up and continued to patrol the immigration villages with him. In the next two days, Yu Xiaotian visited almost half of the immigration villages, and he chose

When patrolling the immigrant villages, Lu was not allowed to choose the place. Instead, he randomly selected villages based on the map for inspection.

During the inspection, Yu Xiaotian discovered many problems and explained them to Lu Shi and others, asking them to write them down immediately and rectify them in batches on time.

Regarding the current defense situation of the immigrant village, Yu Xiaotian also put forward his opinion. Although Tamsui City was built, the number of immigrants was increasing, and the newly built immigrant village was getting further and further away from Tamsui City. Therefore, it all depends on Tamsui City.

If the city's guard force were to protect these immigrant villages, it would obviously be insufficient.

The enemy may not be able to attack Tamsui City, but they can land in other places and attack the immigrant villages in this area in small groups. In addition, although the problems of the local natives have been alleviated in the past six months, the natives do not like outsiders like them invading their lands.

Territory, conflict between the two sides always exists.

In addition, the sea wolves continue to increase the number of immigrants, open new immigration points, build new immigrant villages, continue to cut down the forests in this area, burn bushes, level the land, open up wasteland for farming, and indeed crowd out the indigenous people who originally lived in this area.

The living space of tribes, and it is basically impossible to live in complete peace with indigenous tribes.

Therefore, the resettlement village must have a certain ability to protect itself. In addition to establishing a township army for self-protection, there are also certain requirements for the style of construction of the resettlement village.

In the past, most of the immigrant villages here built houses and then built a wooden wall around the village as the basic defense of the immigrant village, but now Yu Xiaotian has put forward higher requirements.

He believes that this place is likely to be attacked by opponents in the future. Simply relying on a simple wooden fence to resist the enemy is obviously not enough. As long as the enemy is slightly stronger, they can easily break through the village and plunder the village.

Immigration here takes a heavy toll.

Therefore, the next step for the resettlement village is to strengthen its defense facilities. In addition to strengthening the original wooden wall of the original resettlement village, it is best to cover the wall with soil to prevent fire attacks from the opponent and strengthen the wall's resistance to fire.

In addition, when digging canals, ditches can be dug around the village wall to form a trench, which can be used for irrigation and drainage as well as defense against enemies.

Furthermore, it is necessary to insert more sharpened bamboo sticks or sharpened wooden sticks between the trench and the village wall, and bake them on the fire. In addition to strengthening the hardness, it can also carbonize the surface, effectively causing

It has the function of antisepsis and extends the life of bamboo skewers.

In this way, the original immigrant village can have a strong defense capability against small groups of enemies attacking, whether they are natives, pirates, or other enemies, as long as they are not attacked by a small group of enemies that are too strong, even

Even if there are no regular men and horses from the Sea Wolf to rush to defend the enemy, the people in the village can also rely on their own force to block or simply disrupt their attack and repel them.

But when a large group of enemies invades, they can at least resist for a period of time and buy time to wait for reinforcements, waiting for the Sea Wolf soldiers to arrive here to support them, rescue them, and help them attack the enemy in the future.

repel.

In addition, for the new resettlement villages in the future, Yu Xiaotian believes that the village can be built using the earth building method commonly used by Fujian Hakkas. The village can be built directly into a large earth building, and the earth can be taken from the spot and rammed into earth walls. As the outer wall of the earth building, the structure is the best.

It has three floors, with only one door outside the earth building for entry and exit.

A well is dug in the earth building to solve the village's drinking water problem. The first floor can be used as a place for private livestock and public toilets, as well as private poultry, and a place to store feed straw. People can live on the second floor and above. This kind of accommodation environment is better than a single-family bungalow.

It is drier and can also be used as a place to store grain, reducing the loss of grain mold due to moisture on the ground.

There are no windows on the first floor of the earth building, but windows can be opened on the exterior walls above the second floor. These windows can be used for ventilation and lighting for residents in the earth building. When encountering enemies, they can be used as perforating gun doors.

It has strong defensive capabilities. If a trench is dug outside, it will be even better. Not to mention that it is impossible for the local natives to break into the earth building. Even ordinary pirates or even officers and soldiers of the small team want to.

Breaking into the earth building is also a delusion.

Lu sometimes quickly remembered this. Although the locals did not have much experience in building houses with structures like earth buildings, there were still some immigrants who knew how to build them, and some masons also built them for others.

Pass the earth building.

However, for the immigrants resettled in earth buildings, Yu Xiaotian ordered special ideas. A large family cannot be concentrated in earth buildings, nor can people from the same hometown be concentrated in earth buildings. This will easily form a problem in the immigrant village.

The small groups of clans or fellow villagers have weakened the efficiency of Sea Wolf's management of them. It is even possible that when major events occur, these immigrant villages will form small separatists and will not listen to Sea Wolf's orders.

The new immigrant villages must adhere to one principle, that is, the immigrants must be dispersed and resettled. Seawolf will select village chiefs to manage the immigrant villages. Once it is discovered that there are secret associations in individual immigrant villages, they must be dealt with immediately and their relatives and friends must be arrested.

We must disperse and relocate and never allow such a situation to occur on the Sea Wolf territory.

The next step is to adopt the same approach to the old immigrant villages and use strong methods to break them up to avoid clan management in these immigrant villages and weaken Sea Wolf's direct control over the immigrant villages.

Lu sometimes quickly wrote this down. This matter was relatively easy for him to handle. Now all the resettlement villages have established household registration books. Just by checking the books, you can clearly understand the structure of the villagers and who is related to whom.

, who is related to whom as a nephew, who is related to whom as an in-law, and who is a clan member, you can adjust them every now and then, and gradually you can completely break them up.

Regarding what Yu Xiaotian thought of, Lu sometimes felt that it made sense. Although clan management was very common on the mainland in this era, it had great drawbacks. Many large clans had formed strong local forces. On the surface, they listened to local affairs.

Assigned by the government, but in fact the local government can only manage the outside of the clan's forts, and cannot manage the internal affairs of the clan's villages and forts at all.

Some clans have even replaced the local government. In their villages, those who violate clan rules or challenge the power of the clan leader are arbitrarily executed, or their land is deprived of their property. The government has no way to intervene and can only

Just turn a blind eye and let them do what they do.

Moreover, the ancestral villages sometimes even refuse to pay for food. When the government pursues them, they are just submissive and submissive. If they can't hold on, they will buy some poor people to hold the vats, and they will be sent to the county government to wear shackles in public or receive a beating.

After the deadline for paying grain has passed, you can spend a few small sums of money to redeem the person. The grain for this year will be considered as having been carried over, and there is no need to pay anymore.

The government can't even figure out the number of their fields. As a result, in many local governments, the registered population is constantly decreasing, and the number of fields that need to be paid is also decreasing. This makes some clans become richer and richer and become local hegemons.

Local governments can only shift the burden to other ordinary people, making many poor people become poorer and the rich become richer.

Yu Xiaotian can see such a problem, which shows that he has taken the problem quite deeply and has decided to completely prevent the formation of such clan forces in the Sea Wolf territory to prevent the emergence of land clan forces from forming a local hegemon.

situation, directly nipping the signs in the bud.

After Yu Xiaotian inspected most of the affairs in Tamsui City, he still did not leave Tamsui City immediately. Instead, he left Tamsui City and went to a remote mountain col in the north of the city.
