Daming pirates

When Sea Wolf's merchant ship passed by here for the first time, it was regarded as pirates by the island's defenders and North Korean officials, and the two sides clashed on the shore. But for the North Korean war scum, the merchant ship of Sea Wolf

The crew is actually much more powerful than them!

Hundreds of Korean defenders living on the island, armed with inferior weapons, tried to attack the merchant ships of the Sea Wolf that were approaching the shore to fetch water. As a result, they were blasted by the merchant ships with cannons. They were beaten and fled back, even to the shore.

One pier was also captured by Sea Wolf's crew.

When the North Korean officials on the island heard the news, they did not dare to fight again, so they sent people to negotiate with the crew members of the sea wolves who landed on the island, trying to spend some money to ask these so-called pirates to leave Jeju Island.

Inadvertently, the crew on the Sea Wolf ship discovered that there were huge business opportunities hidden here. There were many horses, cattle and sheep on the island, so they blackmailed some of their cattle and sheep and put them on the ship as food.

After they returned, they passed the news to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian immediately realized that this was a pretty good opportunity, so he immediately sent a small fleet, loaded with a marine company, and set off for Jeju Island.

When I went to Jeju Island for the second time, the two sides clashed again. The government on Jeju Island mobilized 2,000 Korean soldiers and horses on the island to try to drive them away, but the result was tragic. These war scumbags were killed by Sea Wolf.

The personnel in this small fleet were defeated and successfully controlled a place that could be used as a port.

The North Korean officials on Jeju Island were scared again, and hurriedly came to discuss with the Sea Wolf people, trying to pay some money to let them leave. At this time, the Sea Wolf people began to negotiate with them.

The matter of negotiation is very simple, that is, Sea Wolf wants to buy horses and cattle on Jeju Island. The price can be easily discussed by both parties. As long as the price is right, Sea Wolf is willing to do this deal with Jeju Island.

As for the North Korean officials on Jeju Island, they are unable to defeat them. They may have to ask for help from the land. With the efficiency of North Korean officials, God knows when they can send troops. If they might offend these terrible Chinese pirates, these

The pirates will probably take over Jeju Island.

By then, these people would be completely out of luck, and even if they asked for help, they might not be able to send reinforcements. After careful consideration, they decided to do this business with Sea Wolf.

As for the price, although the price offered by Jeju Island was not low for them, it was quite cheap for Sea Wolf. The two parties hit it off immediately, and Sea Wolf purchased a batch of cattle and horses from Jeju Island and shipped them to Fujian.

, and were temporarily placed on Haitan Island for breeding and propagation.

After discovering this deal, Yu Xiaotian ordered the Council to grasp this trade route. Although he did not want to occupy Jeju Island for the time being, he could establish a front line first.

So Sea Wolf negotiated with the local government on Jeju Island and rented a large piece of pasture as their transit place. They purchased a large number of horses, cattle and sheep in Jeju Island, and even if they did not transport them back to Haitan Island temporarily, they could still do so.

Stay in this pasture.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian selected more than 200 people from the army to form the Sea Wolf's first cavalry company and sent them to the leased ranch on Jeju Island for training. This was also the first time that the Sea Wolf was officially established.

A cavalry unit is of great significance to the Sea Wolf.

In addition to sending a cavalry company for training, Sea Wolf also recruited a group of refugees from Shandong and other places. Among these people, a group of people who were good at raising horses were selected and sent to Jeju Island and Haitan Island.

Specialize in raising and training horses to prepare for the formation of a large number of cavalry units in the future.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian did not expect to form a large-scale cavalry force. These cavalry will be mainly used as scouts in the future. When necessary, they can be used as an assault force to chase the enemy on the battlefield. Otherwise, the navy will be purely infantry.

Even if the Wolf Army can win the war on land, it has no maneuverability. Once defeated, the enemy will flee and it will be difficult to pursue the enemy in time.

Therefore, having a small but capable cavalry unit is very important to Sea Wolf's army, and Yu Xiaotian will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

In this way, Sea Wolf finally had a source of obtaining war horses. It no longer lacked horses everywhere like before and had to resort to the method of replacing livestock and losing soldiers.

Even if some horses are not suitable for riding war horses, they can be used as draft horses. They are also indispensable for an army like Sea Wolf that relies heavily on logistics. Now it is better to say that in Fujian,

If one day you need to go north, you will probably be blind if you just cram for it. Therefore, preparations must be made in advance. Not only the horses must be prepared, but also the vehicles must be prepared in advance.

This matter can be said to play a vital role in the future construction of the Sea Wolf army. In the past, they always planned to get some war horses from Liaodong, but due to various reasons, whether it was the Dongjiang Army or Jiannu,

The control is very strict, and good war horses are not exported at all, so over the years, Sea Wolf has not obtained many war horses, but Jeju Island has solved this need of Sea Wolf.

Yu Xiaotian secretly made a plan that if one day he wanted to lead his army north to compete in the Central Plains, he would immediately send troops to occupy and control Jeju Island first, and levy all the horses on Jeju Island as military horses. Why worry about not having war horses to use?

In addition to these trivial matters, there is another thing that must be mentioned, and that is the church matters in Macau.

The rise of the Sea Wolf on the coast of Fujian and its control of Taiwan Island also attracted great attention from the Portuguese and missionaries living in Macau.

Since Westerners extended their tentacles to the East, the Holy See has also invested great enthusiasm in this regard, wanting to get more sheep for God. They have continued to send a large number of missionaries to the East to preach, and for other places

That said, it was a little better, but it never achieved very good results in Ming Dynasty.

Many missionaries entered the mainland of the Ming Dynasty to preach, but they were not recognized by the people of the Ming Dynasty at all, and the government did not want to see them. Many missionaries lived a very miserable life, and some even died of starvation. Some missionaries simply disappeared inexplicably.

, I don’t even know where the bones are buried.

Although missionaries such as Matteo Ricci sent by the Holy See opened up some situations by interacting with some gentry in the Ming Dynasty, on the whole, apart from developing some believers in places such as Hangzhou and Nanjing, they did not open up any situations elsewhere.

, the road of the Holy See to preach in the East has always been difficult.

However, the Holy See in Macau gradually discovered that the newly emerged Sea Wolf Group was becoming more and more powerful and controlled a large amount of land and, more importantly, a large population.

Moreover, the senior management of the Sea Wolf Group, namely Yu Xiaotian himself, does not seem to be too opposed to Catholicism and has established business relationships with them.

This attracted the attention of the Holy See. After all, Yu Xiaotian has now become a very popular figure in Fujian, and he is very powerful. Even the arrogant Spanish and Dutch fleets were defeated by him, and he also controlled the entire

Taiwan Island.

So the Catholic missionaries in Macau began to entertain the idea of ​​preaching in Yu Xiaotian's territory, and secretly began to send people to contact Yu Xiaotian, trying to negotiate that Yu Xiaotian would allow them to preach in Taiwan Island.

.

At first, Yu Xiaotian didn't attach much importance to their proposal, and he didn't want Catholicism to become the most important sect in his jurisdiction and control the direction of his Sea Wolf in the future.

However, after careful consideration, Yu Xiaotian finally agreed to some proposals from Macau churches and allowed them to establish churches in Tamsui, Keelung, Kaohsiung and other places for missionary work.

However, Yu Xiaotian realized that he had laid the groundwork, that is, missionary personnel must obey the management of the Sea Wolf official, conduct missions in accordance with the regions and groups of people given by the Sea Wolf official, and it is strictly prohibited to conduct missionary work to members of the Sea Wolf military and internal Sea Wolf.

Not to mention preaching in the schools established by Sea Wolf.

Missionaries sent by the Holy See must be reviewed by Sea Wolf, and their missionary status must be reported to the Sea Wolf Group at regular intervals. All parishioners must be registered so that Sea Wolf can effectively manage them.

The most important thing is that these missionaries must be able to speak Chinese, and each of them must translate some Western science and technology books in order to be qualified to enter the territory of Sea Wolf to preach.

As for the books they translate, there are also regulations. For example, books on navigation, metallurgy, medicine, pharmacy, mechanics, mathematics, astronomy, geography, art, natural science, biology, map making, mechanical drawing, etc. can be passed, but they must not be

Anything with a missionary aspect must be purely scientific.

As for the theological things among the books they translated, they are not included in this list and do not count! Those who cannot meet this requirement cannot enter the territory of Sea Wolf for missionary work.

In addition, each missionary must be proficient in two or three aspects of talent. After entering the jurisdiction of Sea Wolf, in addition to preaching in the church, they must also undertake some related work according to their abilities, especially for each missionary.

, they must go to local schools to teach and impart some relevant knowledge to students.

However, these missionaries are strictly prohibited from spreading their theology in schools, promoting their doctrines among students, and recruiting believers. Otherwise, they will be expelled immediately.

Furthermore, when the Holy See builds a church within the jurisdiction of Sea Wolf, it is not allowed to raise funds locally, and the land must be leased from Sea Wolf Group, not purchased! All funds for church construction shall be borne by the Holy See.

At the same time, Yu Xiaotian requested that when they spread the doctrine, one thing must be added, that is, Yu Xiaotian is an archangel who came to the world and has supreme divine power. No one can challenge it. The Holy See has no choice but to interfere in any form during the missionary period.

Sea Wolf's affairs, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.
