Chapter 125: Sending troops to the Tamsui River

In addition, after the investigation of the personnel sent in the early stage of the past few months, in the area of about 100 miles of the Tamsui River Basin, there were already many migrant villages at this time, and more than 30 such migrant villages were found large and small, and the population was initially estimated to be between 2,000 and 3,000 people.

Dotted on both sides of the Tamsui River, these migrant villages live a simple life of self-cultivation and self-weaving, and their lives are not very good, in addition to facing the local climate and various natural disasters, they also have to fight diseases on their own, and at the same time have to compete with the local natives for living space.

It is said that some villages, a village has only two or three iron pots, the villagers have to retreat to the Stone Age in order to eat, and chisel out the stone pot for cooking, or the method of burning pottery, using clay pottery to replace the iron pot, and the farming tools are even simpler, the production efficiency is low, the population growth is slow, and the mortality rate is high.

Therefore, the current Tamsui River Basin is in great need of a strong force to rule, and these early immigrants are the foundation of his good work, as long as these early immigrants can be controlled, he can establish an order belonging to his sea wolf here relatively smoothly in the future.

In addition, because the early immigrants have already lived there for a period of time, they have accumulated considerable experience, and on the basis of their experience, large-scale immigration activities can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

So far, with relatively sufficient financial resources, Yu Xiaotian launched the second operation to operate the island of Taiwan, and the target directly selected the Tamsui estuary as their landing site.

And the leader of the second development team (the black heads on the other side of Jilong Bay are counted as the first development team), Yu Xiaotian finally chose Fang An under his hands.

The reason is very simple, the development of this freshwater estuary is much more difficult than that of Jilong Bay, and the scale will be much larger, involving all aspects of things, ordinary people can't do it, and they can't do it, including people like Wang Hong, who have a hot personality, but their minds are not careful enough, and sometimes they may do good things into bad things.

So after thinking about it, the most suitable candidate is only Fang An, Fang An has a calm temperament, has a city government, and is good at receiving people and things, although his temperament is a little cold, but after more than a year under Yu Xiaotian, he has become much more cheerful than before.

Moreover, Fang An is loyal, careful, and better at dealing with some thorny problems, and is fair, when he was the deputy hall master in the torture hall before, he won the praise of many people, and even Liu Laoliu, the hall master, is willing to discuss many things with him, or simply leave them to him to deal with.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian communicated with Fang An more deeply during this time, and found that Fang An actually didn't like to do things in the torture hall, he wanted to do some practical things, and he proposed both times that he wanted to go down to the ship, even if it was to bring a boat as a captain.

Now that Yu Xiaotian wants to run the Tamsui River, Fang An has become the first choice.

And Fang An learned that Yu Xiaotian wanted him to lead the team to build a city at the mouth of the Tamsui River on Taiyuan Island and take care of the affairs over there, so he immediately agreed without saying a word.

Fang An actually wanted to resign from the position of deputy hall master of the torture hall for a long time and do something he wanted to do, although he had a disability in his left hand, he did not admit defeat, and always felt that the days of leading his men across the sea at sea were more pleasant than doing things in the torture hall, even if he was asked to be a captain.

Now Yu Xiaotian wants to invite him to the Tamsui River, and this matter also makes him very happy, because after going there, he has more things to do, and many things he wants to do can also be done with his strengths.

And after talking deeply with Yu Xiaotian, he felt that Yu Xiaotian had a big idea in the matter of running the Tamsui River Basin, involving city building, immigration, land reclamation, fishing and hunting, logging, building a new boat and other affairs.

Fang An was even more satisfied with this, he was just looking for a place to show his talent, don't look at him with only one hand, but he thought he was no worse than anyone else, and at the same time he also felt Yu Xiaotian's trust in him, such a big idea, Yu Xiaotian handed it over to him to preside, this can already explain everything.

After Fang An Xie was too Xiaotian, even if he agreed, he only asked Yu Xiaotian to ask a few people to help him as deputies.

Yu Xiaotian also nodded and agreed, and asked him to name important people, as long as he could, he would give it to him.

So Fang An immediately named several people everywhere, including two captains in the battle fleet, one captain of the merchant fleet, and two other people in the council hall, these people were all shrewd and capable people, in fact, they were already on the attention of Yu Xiaotian.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian knew that these people were not all people who followed Fang An and Wang Hong from the Shark Gang at the beginning, and they came from different ways and were not inferior to the characters in any small group, which also showed that Fang An did not hide his selfish intentions when he ordered people, and Yu Xiaotian immediately waved his hand and approved his request.

Therefore, after some careful preparations, a fleet of seven ships of various types set sail from the special pier of the sea wolf on Nanri Island on September 15, sailed away from Nanri Island, and sailed to the island of Taiwan in the east under the personal leadership of Yu Xiaotian.

After this period of time, they traveled back and forth between Taiwan Island and Nanri Island, and they had already felt the channel clearly, and there was nothing to say on the way, and after two days and two nights of sailing, they successfully arrived at the mouth of the Tamsui River.

The Tamsui River Basin, in fact, is basically the location of Taipei City, the political and economic center of the island of Taiwan in the later generations, but in this era, if not called a wild land, at least it is a virgin land that has not been heavily developed, and everything is still basically in a primitive state, except for the small immigrant villages scattered on both sides of the Tamsui River and some local indigenous tribes, it is basically a paradise for animals.

The mouth of the Tamsui estuary is very wide, the estuary is nearly two kilometers wide, and even after entering the estuary, the river is about a kilometer wide, and the water depth around the estuary is fully sufficient for navigation, except for a few sandbars, there is no problem for a fleet to enter and exit the mouth of the freshwater.

And here is not uninhabited, in the estuary more than ten miles away, there is a village, after the early exploration of the know, this village is called Majiabao, the surname of the village is Ma, there are about 200 villagers, here is a relatively large village.

Before the sea wolf discovered Caojia Village, this Majiapu has always been a place where the immigrant villages within a radius of about 100 miles trade with small merchants from the land, so Majiapu can be regarded as a center in this area to a certain extent, and it can also be regarded as a market town.

However, recently, after the sea wolf befriended Caojia Village, the position of Majiabao was greatly challenged, because the price of commodities operated by the Ma family was much higher than that of Caojia Village, and the price of local products was much lower than that of Caojia Village.

A few small businessmen who secretly ran here to do business, after learning the news, felt that it was unprofitable, and no longer came to Majiabao to trade this month.

The patriarch of Majiabao was very angry about this, thinking that Caojiacun was looking for trouble for them, cutting off their financial route, and last month he personally took the clansmen to Caojiacun, and ran to Caojiacun, originally going to reason with Caojiacun, but if it didn't work, he would fight and force Caojiacun to return the business to them.

But they rushed to Caojia Village, but they were left there by more than a dozen sea wolf tribesmen, with a few bird guns pointed at their heads, and at the same time raised knives and guns with the people of Caojia Village to meet them, and immediately scared the patriarch of Majiabao into a fart, and then played tricks They didn't dare, and after being taught a lesson by the sea wolf tribes, they had to run back to Majiabao in disgrace.

This surnamed Ma only then realized that Caojia Village actually found a big backer, and this sea wolf was not a character they could afford to provoke at all, so although they were reluctant to come back, they had to be honest, and they no longer wanted to make black money, and honestly let the clansmen in the village go back to farming well, and it would be better to make less trouble in the future.

But Majiabao stopped, it doesn't mean that the sea wolf let them stop, before the sea wolf people have already inquired clearly, the surname of this Majiabao Ma is not clean, he was actually a small pirate before, but the strength is too weak, has not been famous, and then inadvertently ran to the Tamsui River, saw that the land here is fertile, and it is not the jurisdiction of the government, so he built a small village here, and later recruited some villagers from his hometown, and lived a self-farming and self-weaving life here.

In addition, with his business acumen, he recruited a few small maritime merchants on land to do business in Majiapu, specializing in dumping all kinds of local products on both sides, from which he made huge profits.

This is also the reason why he was angry and wanted to trouble Caojiacun after learning that Caojiacun had robbed him of his business, he thought that he was the strongest in this area and could be a soil overlord, but he didn't expect to bump into the muzzle of the sea wolf.

After repeated surveys by the Sea Wolf Tribe, they finally felt that the location of Majiabao was quite good, and it was a very suitable place to land and build a wall.

Here is reluctant to be from the Tamsui estuary, the initial landing here to establish a bridgehead is not easy to be found by people passing through the estuary, out of the Tamsui estuary, it directly enters the Taiwan Strait, and the Nanri Island side echoes, you can jam the channel of the Taiwan Strait, and at the same time take advantage of the wide estuary, as well as the advantages of the terrain, you can also establish a ferry port and a boat liao in the area of Majiapu, which is convenient for traffic on both sides of the Tamsui River.

So no matter whether the Ma family has been to Caojia Village to make trouble, they have long been remembered by the sea wolf, and on the map they drawn, Majiabao was marked with a heavy stroke, and when it fell on Xiaotian's desk, Yu Xiaotian drew a circle on it with a red pen.

When Yu Xiaotian led the fleet to the mouth of the Tamsui River, he did not stay for a long time, first sent a small boat into the Tamsui River, explored the depth of the river in front of the head, and ensured that the follow-up fleet would not run aground when entering the river, and then under the guidance of the small boat in front, the fleet immediately sailed into the Tamsui estuary.
