Daming pirates

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian now believes that the most important thing for him right now is to continue to keep a low profile, make a fortune quietly, and continue to accumulate his strength. If he wants to participate in the competition in the Central Plains in the future, the most important thing now is to have money first.

Someone says it again.

On the surface, it seems that he is no longer weak. The population under his control alone has reached hundreds of thousands, his military strength has reached more than 7,000, and the number of ships has reached

There were hundreds of them, but with such strength alone, it was still too weak to jump out and run onto the road to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, it seems that he is very powerful, but there is a big crisis hidden, because the proportion of the population he controls and the population of the army is really very different. Among the people he actually controls, the proportion of soldiers and civilians

The population ratio exceeds one to ten, and even reaches a ratio of one to eight.

This is completely unimaginable for a normal regime. It is equivalent to eight people having to support a soldier and a manager. Not to mention that they also include children who are unable to work and the elderly and weak women and children. Even if it is known as "

In North Korea under Songun politics, the ratio of soldiers and reserves combined to the population was only about one to twenty.

It is unimaginable under normal circumstances to have such a small population maintain such a huge army. Fortunately, his navy is not just in and out. His current identity is still a pirate. In addition to investing in his navy,

There is also a large amount of output, that is, through the navy's continuous plundering operations at sea, the Sea Wolves can obtain relatively sufficient military expenditures.

In addition, he also has some monopoly sales of goods, and the merchant fleet under the council continues to engage in maritime trade, which has brought him considerable benefits. At present, he is basically self-sufficient in military weapons and equipment.

Self-sufficient, otherwise if he only collects taxes from these tens of thousands of people, he probably won't even be able to support an army of 500 people. At best, he will be a bunch of country warriors.

So next, he must increase the controllable population as soon as possible. Not only can these populations provide him with stable food and military expenditures, but more importantly, they can provide blood transfusions to his army. When he needs it, he can pass it through at any time.

Conscription campaign to increase the number of his army.

However, these matters are off-topic at this meeting, and he will not talk about them publicly right now.

Naturally, the Navy has no objections to his arrangement for the Navy, and after this adjustment, the Navy can do more things and extend its tentacles further. For these navy bosses

For them, this is a good thing and they will naturally not object.

At first, Yu Xiaotian thought about using the fleet divisions of the Chinese Navy in old time and space, and calling the three fleets he temporarily divided into the East China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. However, thinking about it carefully, the area where he is currently active is basically

Xanadu is in the East China Sea, and now he has a North Sea Fleet and a South Sea Fleet. It is too unworthy of the name, so he finally named his fleet after No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.

In addition to the three major fleets as the main battle force, the navy also separately listed fishing vessels and whaling fleets and established a fishing fleet, because Sea Wolf currently has many smaller ships that usually do not

What combat missions are they supposed to undertake? Because these ships have small displacement or are not in good enough condition, they usually mainly carry out fishing operations and whaling operations at sea to provide sufficient protein needs for the Sea Wolf Tribes, thus ensuring that the Sea Wolf Tribes

daily needs and nutritional needs.

These ships had no clear ownership before, nor were they systematically managed and assigned, but this time Yu Xiaotian separated them from the fleet, established a fishing fleet, and gave it to Lu Tong.

Unified deployment and management.

And Lu Tong was a small group of pirates that operated on the ocean in Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou a long time ago. At the beginning, Yu Xiaotian colluded with Wang Hong, Fang An, Ma Feng and others, and also joined forces with surrounding small groups to

When we were dealing with shark Zhang Hu together, we followed Yu Xiaotian.

Lu Tong's brother Lu Sheng was originally the leader of their group of pirates. Because he did not listen to Zhang Hu's orders, Zhang Hu sent people to kill him as a warning. Their lair was also destroyed by Zhang Hu, so Lu Tong later joined Yu Xiaotian.

After taking over Nanri Island, he surrendered to Yu Xiaotian.

Because Yu Xiaotian killed Zhang Hu and avenged Lu Tong, Lu Tong was loyal to Xiaotian. However, this person was not very capable. After Yu Xiaotian took charge of Nanri Island, before the Sea Wolf

He has never been famous in China, and he just quietly does things that others are not willing to do.

The Lutong family themselves were fishermen at first, and most of the tribesmen he led were also fishermen and were very familiar with fishing. In the past few years, they have been taking several boats to either fish at sea or go fishing at sea.

Whales have accumulated considerable experience in fishing and whaling.

This time when Yu Xiaotian decided to set up a professional fishing fleet, he simply handed over the fleet to Lu Tong, which was equivalent to giving Lu Tong a very important position, allowing him to enter the senior management of Sea Wolf.

The fishing team is not a combat unit. In addition to fishing and whaling, it will also be responsible for the management of the fishing grounds set up by the sea wolves in the future. When fishing by themselves, they must also manage the fishing grounds they set up and supervise the activities in the fishing grounds.

Other fishermen who are working will collect 20% of their catch every day as a fishing tax. Every year, they can bring back a large amount of catch to the Sea Wolf, which can be eaten by the Sea Wolf tribe, and some of the surplus can be sold.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the fishing team also performs fishery administration and fishery protection work. It can be regarded as a lightly armed fleet. If necessary, they can also cooperate with the main fleet and participate in some military operations.

What's more important is that this fishing team is also the reserve force of the Sea Wolf Navy, the main source of sailors, because the training of sailors is not like that of infantry, where young men are randomly picked up and locked up in a training camp for a minimum of three years.

In a few months, he will be ready. Even if he cannot reach the level of a strong soldier, he will at least be considered a relatively qualified soldier.

The training of sailors, in this era of sailing ships, is much longer than that of infantry. Therefore, the sailors of Sea Wolf are mainly fishermen. These people live by the sea all year round and follow their fathers and grandfathers to fish in the sea for many years.

I have operated a big boat, at least I have quite a lot of experience in rowing and sculling and operating a small boat. At the worst, I at least have good water skills.

Therefore, the recruitment of sailors is much narrower than the source of infantry, and the training time is much longer. This is also the most difficult thing to do if you want to build an invincible fleet. Just building enough big and enough ships is not enough. You must

There are enough sailors who can operate them skillfully and bravely.

Therefore, the fishing team often recruits some fishermen to join the fishing boats during non-war times. After these people undergo semi-formal training, once the Sea Wolf needs it, they only need a short period of time in the sailor recruit camp.

After conversion training, they can be quickly added to the warship.

Therefore, the fishing team is, to a certain extent, the Sea Wolf's navy reserve team and is considered a reserve force.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian awarded Lu Tong the rank of captain, which was the same as the captain of the fleet. The captains of the fishing boats in the fishing team, especially some captains of the larger whaling ships, were also awarded the rank of ensign.

, but in front of their military rank, a reserve force must be added. Compared with the officers in the regular fleet, the gold content of their military ranks is lower.

The original Merchant Marine Fleet remains unchanged. It is still a Merchant Marine Fleet. It is considered a Navy in terms of establishment, but in terms of management, it is still under the management of the Council.

After excluding the logistics department, the Council is basically a large militarized group company. Its main job is to do business. The merchant fleet is the most important way to make profits in their hands, and it is responsible for the transportation of various goods from all over the world.

, to make money for Sea Wolf, and also undertake the work of bulk cargo transportation for Sea Wolf.

However, the members of the merchant fleet are still temporarily affiliated with the navy. The captains are all awarded the rank of second lieutenant. The fleet is now managed by a person named Lin Baojiang. This person is a former subordinate of Liu Yidao and follows Liu Yidao.

Came here together.

This man used to be a small maritime trader. He owned a merchant ship and made a small fortune by transferring goods back and forth between the land and Manila. But then he went out to sea and was robbed by pirates. The ship was also lost and the goods were gone. It was completely damaged.

His creditors chased him every day for debts, and he was even arrested and beaten by the government.

Later, he had no choice but to go to sea and become a pirate. He also took his son with him and defected to Liu Yidao. Later, he followed Liu Yidao and defected to Yu Xiaotian.

This man had worked both as a pirate and as a merchant, and had rich sailing experience. Later, he was selected to manage a small merchant fleet. Yu Xiaotian found that this man was shrewd and capable, so he took over the entire merchant fleet.

He was given the responsibility to take care of it, and he was also awarded the rank of captain. However, like the fishing team, it was a reserve force, because the merchant fleet also had a reserve nature, and sailors could be transferred to the war fleet at any time.

In addition to these, Seawolf also has a full-time naval training camp, which is also stationed in Tamsui City. It owns several training ships and trains new recruits for Seawolf's navy all year round. It is also responsible for training mid-level officers such as captains and first mates.

.

Now the naval training camp has been upgraded to the naval training office. In addition to the naval training camp, it will also be responsible for the navy's sailor recruitment in the future. In addition, the boathouse has also been placed under the management of the naval training office, including the original director hall.

The Logistics Department of the Navy has also been divided into the Naval Logistics Department, which is temporarily under the management of the Training Department. The Logistics Department will be listed separately in the next step, but it is not needed yet.
