When Yu Xiaotian received the news from the carrier pigeon, his mood was a little complicated, and he secretly said that he was still here in the end!

In the past two years, Yu Xiaotian has been worried about this matter, because his appearance has now affected the development process of history to a certain extent.

And the most obvious impact is his appearance, which has changed the composition of the strength of the Chinese sea during this period of the old time and space history.

First of all, because of his appearance, the Chu Cailao group, which was originally rampant in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, was severely hit by him, and the scope of its power was squeezed to the south of Zhangzhou Mansion, and he controlled a large area of sea area along the coast from the north of Quanzhou Mansion to the south of Zhejiang.

Then, because of his appearance, Yan Siqi's fate trajectory changed, and he did not die young in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and handed over the huge plate to Zheng Yiguan, so that he easily inherited Yan Siqi's mantle and strength, and then took Li Dan's plate, and suddenly became a powerful pirate group in China's seas.

But the most affected is Zheng Yiguan, because of his appearance, Zheng Yiguan did not take over Yan Siqi's power as in history, but only took over Li Dan's plate, but lost a territory that could be used as his temporary base, and his strength did not jump to the point of being huge and unmatched.

What's more, because he tried to kill Yan Siqi and failed, now his reputation can be said to be discredited, and he has become the person referred to by Qianfu, and he has been attacked by Yan Siqi, Chu Cailao and his three forces in Xiaotian at the same time, it can be said that this period of time is struggling, and he is not as high-spirited as he was at that time in the old time and space, whether he can continue to survive in the sea of China is probably the thing he thinks about the most now.

And the Eighteen Zhi Group, which was once dominant in history, now seems to be difficult to reappear.

In the entire coastal area of Fujian, because of his appearance in Xiaotian, the historical process has been stirred up beyond recognition, and now he has replaced Zheng Yiguan and has become the most troublesome giant in the Fujian government at present.

But this is not the place where he has the greatest influence in history, the place where he has caused the greatest impact should still be on the island of Taiwan.

He occupied Jilong Bay more than two years ahead of the Spaniards, and at the same time, more than a year earlier, occupied the Tamsui area, basically including northern Taiwan into his territory.

In this way, whether the Spaniards will go to northern Taiwan to grab territory like in the original time and space, he has been pondering this matter for more than a year.

What is different from history is that when the Spaniards ran to occupy Chicken Coop Bay and Tamsui River, there was no strong force there, so the Spaniards could almost be said to have stood on their feet without much effort, but now with his intervention, there are two major forces on the island of Taiwan, one is the Dutch who occupied Tainan, the other is him, and of course there is also the existence of Yan Siqi.

However, Yan Siqi's strength is currently no longer comparable to him and the Dutch, and now Yan Siqi has to rely on his snort to survive, which is actually one of his allies.

Although he also tried to send people to Manila to monitor the activities of the Spaniards, under the current communication conditions, even if the people sent to Manila heard about the movements of the Spaniards, it was basically impossible to send the news back to him as soon as possible.

Although the carrier pigeon is the fastest way to communicate at the moment, but Manila is too far away from Nanri Island after all, it is difficult for the carrier pigeon to fly so far at once, and it must stop and rest in the middle, but in addition to the island, it is basically the sea, and the weather conditions are very bad, and the carrier pigeon can not ensure that the news is brought back.

So at this distance, if you want to communicate, you still have to rely on manpower to complete, from Manila to Nanri Island, the fastest ship, even if it is a direct voyage to Nanri Island, it will take more than a month, sometimes the merchant ship has to go to Guangzhou first, and then go along the coastline, the walking time will be longer, and even half a year is not an impossible thing, and when he receives the news, the cucumber dishes are cold.

So he can only sit and wait for the Spaniards to come to the door, and as time goes by, he becomes more and more suspicious that the Spaniards will come to the island of Taiwan.

It wasn't until he received the news from Keelung Fort this time that he was sure that the Spaniards had really sent troops to Chicken Coop Bay as they had done historically.

After this matter can be confirmed, Yu Xiaotian is relieved, when things are often uncertain, people will always be worried, but once the dust settles, even if it is bad news, at least people don't have to think about it every day.

So as soon as Yu Xiaotian received the news, he immediately ordered the sea wolf's fleet to enter a state of combat readiness, and began to assemble the fleet, replenish sailors, ammunition, supplies, food and fresh water, and prepare to go to Keelung Fort.

The entire Nanri Island suddenly entered a state of combat readiness again, and one by one the clippers were quickly dispatched to various places to inform the scattered ships to return to Nanri Island, and after receiving the order, groups of ships immediately began to return to Nanri Island.

The council hall is the busiest department, they have to prepare all kinds of supplies for this sailor's battle, the warehouses are opened, boxes of ammunition are taken out of the warehouse, bags of grain, bags of salted fish and salted meat, and baskets of fruits and vegetables begin to be transported to the docks in a steady stream, waiting to be distributed to the sailors' ships.

Some of the guns stored in the original arsenal also began to be unsealed and transported to the docks, waiting for loading, non-wartime, under normal circumstances, the warships will not always have too many guns and ammunition, one is that it is more difficult to maintain on the ship, and there is a certain danger, so under normal circumstances, the guns on the warship are not in a fully loaded state, but once needed, these stored guns will be loaded on the ship in large quantities, ready for combat use.

Originally, the sailors were also equipped with short-barreled flintlock pistols on their ships, but each ship was generally not equipped much, and at this time boxes of brand-new flintlock pistols were also unsealed and added to the ships.

In addition, a large number of Molotov cocktails filled with refined whale oil are usually only a small amount of spare on board, including bamboo shells and iron-shelled grenades, and only a small amount of storage is reserved on board, and at this time, a large number of ships are also needed.

The more advanced the armed forces, the higher the requirements for the logistical supply of materials, and the greater the consumption of materials.

The amount of firearms and equipment of the sea wolf is quite high in this era, so naturally the requirements for logistics supply are far more than those of their peers and even the Ming officers and soldiers.

For this reason, after the battle of Chu Cailao, in accordance with Yu Xiaotian's requirements, a logistics office was set up under the council hall, which was responsible for the supply of the sea wolf's military system, including the allocation of salaries and bounties to the sea wolf troops, which was also included in the logistics department.

This is done in order to straighten out the affairs of material supply, so as to avoid confusion when using it, and this practice will naturally improve the efficiency of the internal material distribution of the sea wolf, so that it can be ready for combat supply faster.

With Yu Xiaotian's order, the sea wolf's war machine started again, and this time they had to face not an opponent whose weapons and equipment were much behind them, but to face a modern Western fleet armed to the teeth, of course, the strength of this Spanish fleet was not very strong, but even so, the opponent's ships and firepower were still a strong opponent they had never encountered before.

Although the Seawolf has now greatly surpassed this era in the casting technique, but because of the bottleneck of the ship, the quality of the Seawolf's warship has not been reborn, even if it is equipped with more than a dozen new sloops, but these sloops are light and small after all, and cannot be equipped with a large number of guns, so in terms of single-ship firepower, there is not much advantage in the face of Western large plywood ships, and the caliber of the gun and the weight of the projectile are also limited. When Western warships are fighting, they are at a disadvantage.

But on the other hand, the sea wolves also have their advantage, that is, they have an absolute advantage in the number of ships and sailors, because although the Spaniards have concentrated a large number of troops on the Manila side this time, this is not a national war, but only a colonial fleet of theirs.

Yu Xiaotian knows the situation of the Spaniards better than anyone in the Ming Dynasty now, although the Spaniards still had an invincible fleet that could be proud of the crowd a few decades ago, but thirty years ago, with the Anglo-Spanish naval battle, the Spanish armada was almost completely wiped out, which made the Spaniards suddenly lose their huge strength at sea, and now even if they are a little big, they dare not leave the European mainland.

Moreover, they had many colonies to protect, and the Dutch and the British were always eyeing their colonies and ships, so the number of ships and men that the Spaniards could send to Asia was very limited.

This time, judging from the number of ships sent by the Spaniards, Yu Xiaotian knew that their Philippine governor had already taken out all the money he could get, except for this fleet and men, their pockets were already empty, and it was impossible for them to come up with more troops to grab Taipei.

So as long as you can beat them hard this time, the Spaniards will be completely honest in the future, and at least you don't have to worry about it in the future, the Spaniards will come here again to find trouble.
