Daming pirates

Each ship carried about two hundred people. Except for Sea Wolf's marines, the first batch of immigrants carried on the ship were mainly slaves and prisoners captured in the battle with the army.

The prisoners have all been screened, and the available prisoners have been incorporated into Sea Wolf's new camp. After retraining, education and brainwashing, they will be assigned to serve in the navy and army. The rest are mainly some

Soldiers and gangsters and people with bad habits are a source of instability no matter where they are placed. Killing them would be too peaceful.

So this group of people were sent to Dagou Port as expendable resources, together with some Southeast Asian monkeys acquired by Sea Wolf. As the first batch of pioneers, they invested in the early development of Dagou Port.

.

Dagou Port later became Kaohsiung Port, but in this era, the berthing conditions of Dagou Port were not very good. The water depth in the port was not very deep, making it difficult for heavy ships to berth in the port. In addition, there were no dock facilities for them to use.

.

But fortunately, there are no giant ships of 10,000 tons in this era. Even the largest ship owned by Sea Wolf currently has a displacement of only two or three captured Dutch ships of 500 to 600 tons. The largest plywood ship was originally

Waite's flagship, with a full load displacement of only about 800 tons, had no problem docking at Dagou Port.

Therefore, the current problem of water depth and berths in Dagou Port is not a big problem. It will be enough for Sea Wolf to use it for many years.

Although there are no facilities in Dagou Port for Sea Wolf to load and unload cargo, the good thing is that Xiaotian has done enough homework in advance.

Starting from the second half of the sixth year of Tianqi, he continued to send people and ships to explore the Dagou Port, conduct a thorough survey of the topography and hydrological conditions in the port, and draw detailed drawings.

This time, when he started to send people to Dagou Port, he also towed some floating trestles that had been built in advance with the fleet. The trestles were equipped with detachable poles and simple human cranes.

After these floating trestles are towed to Dagou Port by the fleet, they only need to be towed to the shore. After sinking into the water, wooden piles are driven and fixed. They can be used quickly. Moreover, the prefabricated floating trestles have

Various poles and simple cranes for unloading cargo have been installed, and people and cargo on board can be unloaded to the shore soon.

As long as the first group of people and materials are unloaded, things will be easy to handle. The first group of people and materials will be used to build docks and camps.

Before the second group of people arrives here, this group of people can quickly build a relatively complete dock facility and a camp with a bridgehead to meet the arrival of subsequent personnel.

In order to speed up the progress, Yu Xiaotian even ordered carpenters to make a large number of semi-finished timbers. These timbers are all materials for wooden houses, with unified specifications and unified structures. As long as they are unloaded at the shore, the craftsmen will follow the serial numbers marked on them.

Construction of houses can begin immediately.

Such wooden houses can be erected within a few days at the earliest. Compared with temporary soft tents, the accommodation conditions are much better.

After these ships were dispatched in early March, less than a month later, the fleet returned to Tamsui City, and all the personnel and materials on board had been unloaded at Dagou Port.

Yu Xiaotian also personally boarded the second batch of ships heading to Dagou Port and went to Dagou Port for inspection. The number of the second batch of ships increased by more than a dozen this time. The ships were mainly loaded with personnel and

A total of more than 2,000 people were transported with various tools and some food. In addition to the 2,000 people transported in the first batch, Dagou Port had thousands of laborers in a very short period of time.

Coupled with the strength of three army infantry companies and one marine company, the general forces are no longer able to drive them out of this area.

After several days of sailing, Yu Xiaotian arrived at Dagou Port. As soon as he entered Dagou Port, he saw a lively scene at a glance.

Countless laborers are busy like ants on the shore of the port, transporting various materials to the shore and undergoing intense construction. The prototype of a dock has begun to appear on the shore at this time, with several wooden trestles.

, at this time it has penetrated deep into the sea water in the harbor from the shore.

At this time, a camp has appeared on the shore. Brand-new wooden houses have been built in the camp. Of course, many tents and temporary straw sheds have been built to provide shelter for the garrison and workers here.

purpose.

Around the camp and dock, there are many Sea Wolf soldiers, carrying muskets or holding spears and shields, patrolling back and forth vigilantly. Around this area, more than a dozen archery towers several meters high have been built.

There were also many Sea Wolf musketeers standing there, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Several light single-masted boats patrolled inside and outside the port, monitoring the activities of the workers on the dock. After all, these workers were not fuel-efficient, and among them were either soldiers or savage Southeast Asian monkeys.

These people will cause trouble if they are cold, so they must be suppressed with force. If you are not careful, some people will try to escape, so you must take precautions.

When Yu Xiaotian got off the boat and landed, he looked up and saw a forest of high poles standing near the pier. These high poles were more than three meters high, but they were not light poles, because on each high pole,

There is a corpse hanging in each place, and the corpse is hung by the neck on a pole.

Yu Xiaotian did a rough count and found that there were at least dozens of corpses hung here, so he frowned slightly.

Seeing Yu Xiaotian's eyes sweeping over the hanging corpses, the officer who came to greet him immediately said to Xiaotian: "Master Qi, these guys have been causing trouble here these days.

The guys were either trying to escape and were caught, or they were trying to attack the sentries and seize weapons to resist, or they were instigating others to cause trouble behind their backs. Naturally, my subordinates should not be polite when dealing with such people, and could only kill them to serve as a warning to others!

But after hanging these guys, the situation here has been much better these days. Let them watch these hanging guys, and they will become very honest when working!"

"Tiancheng, since this place is in your hands, you can take care of it! I believe you will have a sense of what to do! It's just a pity that there are dozens of laborers! Haha!

But it's okay, after we get rid of these black sheep, the efficiency will probably be higher! There's nothing wrong with what you did!" Yu Xiaotian did not express dissatisfaction with the officer.

And the man he called Tiancheng, whose full name was Ma Tiancheng, was a company commander in the original army. He was also one of the early members of the Sea Wolf team. He was about forty years old and had studied for a few days.

Private school, he is a somewhat educated person, but he is also a good soldier. After his family failed on land, he worked as a bodyguard and became a bodyguard, but later due to some reasons, he went to sea and became a pirate.

After returning to Yu Xiaotian, he was sent to the war barracks because of his experience as a escort, and gradually got the position of company commander.'

Yu Xiaotian has been observing him for a long time and found that Ma Tiancheng is steady, decisive, courageous to take responsibility, and has a very flexible mind. He is a good talent.

In the army, if Yu Xiaotian hadn't transferred him here this time, one of the battalion commanders of the newly formed army battalion would definitely have fallen on his head.

But Yu Xiaotian believes that this Ma Tiancheng is a good managerial material. Although staying in the army can give full play to his abilities, he is currently in short supply of such talents, so of course he must put them in the most important place.

Therefore, after weighing the situation, he transferred Ma Tiancheng out of the army and sent him here as a temporary commander.

Ma Tiancheng was not an idiot, and he immediately realized the significance of this transfer to him. Although he liked working in the army, and his future seemed to be good, he could reach the level of battalion commander, and there would definitely be room for improvement in the future, but

Compared with the current position, it is far less important than this position.

Because he can be responsible for the development of Dagougang, for him, it is equivalent to completely entering the top management of Sea Wolf. This is definitely a high-ranking member among Sea Wolf. If he does well, then it is very likely that he will

He is the future city lord of Dagou Port.

Therefore, Ma Tiancheng was secretly surprised by this transfer. He immediately packed his bags and took up his post, and led his team to Dagou Port to preside over the early development affairs here.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Ma Tiancheng immediately put his legs together and paid Xiaotian a standard military salute. Although he was temporarily responsible for the development of Dadog Port, he did not take off his army uniform.

His establishment is still in the army, so he always maintains a military attitude.

"Thank you very much for your trust. I will do my best to run things here well and never let down my great love!"

"Okay, you don't have to be so swearing! Since I asked you to take charge of this matter, I believe in your ability. Tell me, how is the other situation here?" Yu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction.

"Everything else here is fine, except that the problem of clean water cannot be solved for the time being. Although I have ordered that all drinking water here must be made in accordance with the regulations and must be boiled before drinking, the labor intensity here is very high.

, many people still suffer from diarrhea!

So the next step for Beizhong is to solve the problem of clean water sources! Beizhong plans to build a large reservoir here and use the method of filtering water that Dadangjia taught us to prepare more clean drinking water to ensure the safety of the water here.

Workers can also drink clean water while working, so as to avoid diarrhea!

Although these workers are all scum and it is not a pity to die, if too many of them die, it will still affect the development here! It will inevitably make the remaining scum scared and unwilling to work hard! But now the soil and cement here are

It's really too little, I'm afraid this reservoir needs a lot of soil and cement, I hope the boss can help solve it," Ma Tiancheng said.
