"The big boss is good to the brothers, and the brothers know in their hearts, otherwise, the brothers would not be so playful, all of them are the big bosses are kind-hearted, and the brothers are willing to work for the big boss!

The big boss can rest assured that our council hall has begun to arrange these things, and most of the pensions have been distributed, but some brothers are singles and have no relatives.

As for the disabled brothers who have recovered from their wounds, please rest assured that we will take proper care of them and will certainly not treat them badly! Li Gouzi hurriedly agreed.

Yu Xiaotian was afraid that during his serious injury, many things would be delayed, it seems that Li Gouzi and the people in the council hall are still dedicated, this kind of thing has not been delayed, and what should have been done has been done during his serious injury.

And he has already heard Liu Lao Liu say that the matter of commendation has also been arranged, the reward that should be rewarded, the meritorious medal should be given, the meritorious medal was given, and the captains of the lost ships will be equipped with new ships as soon as possible, and for the captains of the sunken ships, they can't be allowed to come back to sit on the cold bench, which is something that Yu Xiaotian has specially explained.

Once the captain of the sunken ship is allowed to sit on the cold bench after returning, it will inevitably affect morale, so in this case, the captain of the ship who fought bravely and sank the ship, before waiting for the new ship, the sea wolf is paid in full, which will not affect their income, and they can rest temporarily before getting the new ship.

As soon as there is a new ship, it is important to arrange for these captains to be re-aboarded, which is also a way to encourage the captains to dare to fight, and the captains of the province are afraid of sinking the ship, and they are afraid of the war in wartime.

However, after this sea battle, the sea wolf's sailors will make great progress, making them more confident and more courageous when fighting, which Yu Xiaotian is sure of.

"By the way, what was the arrangement of the other ships that were sunk at that time, including ours and the ships of the Spaniards? I didn't have the energy to ask about it during this time, but I only remembered it when I saw you today! Yu Xiaotian suddenly remembered this incident and asked Luo Xianbin.

When Luo Xianbin heard this, he quickly replied: "Brother Hei, they haven't forgotten this matter, the location of the ships sunk in the war at that time, the brothers have marked it, and some of the ships have sunk too deeply, so they gave up."

Several other of our ships, before sinking, sailed to the shallow water area and sank to the shoal, these ships are temporarily inconvenient to salvage, but they have also sent water ghosts to dive down to find out the location, first salvage some cannons, individual cannons are not in good position, can not be fished out for the time being.

The three big ships that the Spaniards sank, one of them was burned in the deep water, so there was no way, and the other burned boat, before it was burned, was hung by the long dragon hook and dragged to the shore, after the fire was extinguished, the cannons on the ship were dismantled, transported to the Keelung Fort guns for inspection, and the individual usable ones were temporarily put into the warehouse, some of them were burned too badly, and they were already deformed, just waiting to be smashed and returned to the furnace.

As for the Spanish splint boat that sank in the shallows, the water ghost has explored it many times, and there are three holes below the waterline, and the overall damage is not too serious, but there is still hope to fish it out and repair it, to see if it can still be used.

At present, the manpower and material resources over there are limited, and there is no way to salvage the water for the time being, if you want to fish out the water, it is estimated that a lot of manpower will be used. ”

After Yu Xiaotian listened, he was very satisfied with the ability of Heitou and Sun Baoqiang, these two people cooperated, and Keelung Fort was well organized, both of them were very capable, I dare not say that their cooperation is a perfect match, at least there is no infighting, and there is procrastination, which is already very good.

As for this era, if you want to salvage a large ship weighing several hundred tons from the water, it is not an easy thing to do, there are very few people who can do this kind of thing, although the sea wolf has also done it several times, but it cannot be said that it is experienced, and there is no decent lifting equipment in this era, only simple methods can be used, which requires considerable manpower and material resources to do.

To salvage such a large ship, at least a few large sand boats need to be used, and several boats must be fixed together, and then we can find a way to gradually salvage that boat.

However, after all, this ship is still a Galen ship type, although it is only an armed merchant ship, but it still has salvage value, as long as it can be fished out, if the main structure has not been seriously damaged, then it can be repaired, it can be used for a period of time, at least before the Seawolf builds its own gunboats of the same type, it can still be rampant in the Chinese sea for a long time.

So Yu Xiaotian wrote down this matter, and began to arrange for the dispatch of personnel and several large sand boats of the merchant fleet, organize a salvage team, and find a way to salvage the boat out of the water, as long as it can be fished out of the water first, it can be dragged to the shallow water of the beach very close, stranded on the sandbank, and then plug the leaking place so that it has the ability to float, and then things will be much easier.

The key is how to get it out of the water, the boat is filled with water and sits on the bottom of the sea, the weight will be very large, although with the buoyancy of the seawater, it will not be so heavy, but the weight can not be ignored.

Therefore, this matter must be done by someone with experience and strong organizational skills, but for a while, Yu Xiaotian couldn't think of anyone who could do this, so for the time being, he could only start organizing material resources and making preliminary preparations.

In addition, after the ship sinks, it can't be too long, the longer the time, the deeper the ship sinks on the bottom of the sea, and the more difficult it is to salvage, so this matter can't be dragged on for a long time, and it must be solved as soon as possible.

But Yu Xiaotian still decided to find a way to salvage the boat at any cost, even if the boat can't be repaired and used after it comes out of the water, he can also find a way to pull it to the ship's liao for the ship's craftsmen to disassemble, so that the craftsmen can learn some Western shipbuilding skills, which is not something that can be done by spending money.

Although this time they also caught a few Spanish craftsmen who came to Taiwan Island with the fleet, these people are ship-accompanying carpenters, who are responsible for repairing ships at any time when they go to sea, but these Spanish craftsmen are all craftsmen of a different level, who can only do some simple work, and cannot build ships by themselves, even in Manila, the Spaniards have not set up a shipyard, and they cannot build big ships in Manila at all.

Therefore, these captured craftsmen can't provide them with much help, everything has to rely on their own exploration, and one more physical object that can be referred to is undoubtedly a very useful thing for the sea wolf.

Yu Xiaotian is also very concerned about these hundreds of Spanish prisoners, many of these people are scum, not regular Spanish soldiers, and not all of them are Spaniards, including Italians, French, and Germans.

It is now the period of the Thirty Years' War in Europe, and Europe itself is in shambles, breeding many social scum and adventurers, some of whom are trying to escape the war, some of whom are risking their lives to make a fortune, and some of whom are deceived into drifting to Asia.

So in the Spaniards, who were severely short of sailors and soldiers, they could easily find new jobs and become mercenaries or mercenaries, who were not necessarily loyal to the Spanish king, who basically fought for money, but unfortunately fell victim to the war and were captured by the sea wolves.

So Yu Xiaotian hit the idea on them, these people are familiar with the Western land and sea combat methods, familiar with the operation of Western-style sailing ships, and many of them are also from military backgrounds, including many people who know more about architecture and art, and even a few doctors who accompany the ship.

These are the talents that the sea wolves urgently need at present, they had no chance to obtain such resources before, and few Europeans were willing to run to work for the Chinese pirates, but now he has captured so many people by force, if they are thrown into the hard labor camp like those Chinese scum and the black-skinned monkeys of Southeast Asia, as the most basic labor use, it is really a bit of a ruin.

Some time ago, he was too busy to take care of himself, and his life was almost at stake, so he didn't have the energy to care about this matter, but now that he has gradually recovered, he began to think about how to take these people for his own use.

There is also this matter related to his next relationship with the Spaniards, he did not have much conflict with the Spaniards in Manila before, and he can even be called a collaborator, the two sides have always maintained trade relations, only because the Spaniards want to grab a piece of territory in northern Taiwan, establish a trading port, maintain competition with the Dutch, and continue to trade with the Ming merchants, so such a big conflict will break out.

But other than that, they don't have much of a conflict of interest at the moment, although Yu Xiaotian hates the Spaniards, these European brutes have massacred a large number of Chinese expatriates in Manila during the Wanli years, and Yu Xiaotian hates them quite much.

But at present, he had no plan, so for this matter, he went to the Spaniards to settle accounts, captured Manila, and expelled the Spaniards from Asia.

On the contrary, he also hoped that the Spaniards would not be weakened too much in Asia because of the Battle of Chicken Coop Bay, because he knew very well that the Spaniards would not be able to draw much troops at home to support their East Asian colonies.

The Spaniards and the Dutch were always in a state of hostility, and the Dutch were now showing an aggressive posture in East Asia, fighting against the Spaniards at every turn, and the Dutch East India Company, which they founded, always spared no effort to squeeze the Spaniards out of East Asia.

Yu Xiaotian didn't want to make a wedding dress for the Dutch for the time being, helping the Dutch to defeat the Spaniards, with the existence of the Spaniards, they could form a competitive relationship, now he controls a large area of Fujian seas, controls a lot of merchants and the source of Ming specialties, if the Spaniards are squeezed out, he can only sell these goods to the Dutch, the Dutch are dominant, and they lose their rivals to compete.

Therefore, it is in his interest to maintain the presence of the Spaniards in Asia for the time being, so he does not intend to completely tear up his face with the Spaniards.
