In the end, Yu Xiaotian accepted Yan Siqi's lesson under Lin Yiyang's proposal, and chose not to continue to expand the territory under his actual control for the time being, so as not to arouse the jealousy of more peers.

If his peers only come to find trouble one by one, with his current strength, he is not not worried too much, what he is afraid of is that once these colleagues form a common hatred for him and gather together to attack him, even if his brothers are all enemies, they will not be able to stop the ants from biting and killing elephants.

Therefore, although the sea wolf substantially grabbed the territory north of Quanzhou from Chu Cailao, it did not include this newly acquired territory into the previous territory, but controlled it as a semi-actual control of the territory.

The toll collected by Seawolf did not continue to increase in price after the actual increase of 30%, and the area that Seawolf actually promised to ensure their safe passage was only expanded to the area of Meizhou Island than before, and did not completely include the area of Quanzhou Bay into the actual control of Seawolf.

That is to say, although the sea wolf actually grabbed the sea territory from the north of Quanzhou Bay to Meizhou Bay from Chu Cai's old hands, it did not completely incorporate it into the actual control, and tacitly allowed some peers to act in this area.

This also avoids the dissatisfaction of other peers due to the sea wolf's substantial expansion of territory, and the province will provoke more people to envy them.

And after Yu Xiaotian ended the dispute with Chu Cailao, he rewarded his subordinates, and distributed half of the 40,000 taels of silver extorted from Chu Cailao as a reward to his subordinates.

According to Yu Xiaotian's understanding of human nature, if you want your subordinates to work hard for him, you can't be reluctant to spend money, what ideals, what goals, in this era, it is useless, only real benefits are the motivation for your subordinates to give you their lives.

That's why at the beginning, he formulated a set of incentives according to his system for the British Navy, and one of the very important principles was that when he ate meat, he must let his subordinates drink at least a mouthful of soup, and even eat meat with him.

Otherwise, the phrase "fighting in the face of the enemy" will completely become a dead letter, and no one will go to give him Yu Xiaotian to work hard when there is no benefit to be gained.

After ending this incident, Yu Xiaotian completely fell into a more busy situation, and he almost couldn't even spare time to sleep.

He had to deal with a lot of things every day, and in addition to personnel adjustments, Seawolf changed his previous practice of deliberately limiting the growth rate of the number of his troops, and after the end of April, he began to expand again.

This expansion, in addition to converting a group of Chu Cailao's subordinates who captured Chu Cailao this time into sea wolf troops for his use, he also recruited another group of troops to enrich the fleet and soldiers.

Now, through this big battle with Chu Cailao, Seawolf has basically formed a naval division dominated by fleet crews and a land division dominated by the original combat barracks, forming two relatively independent combat systems that can cooperate when necessary.

And the outstanding performance of the soldiers this time also made them win a position that can basically be equal to the sailors, which made the sailors who looked down on the soldiers a little bit in the past look down on the soldiers.

After this battle, although the sailor still played a decisive role, the soldiers won more with less on the island, killing and wounding a large number of Chu Cailao's subordinates, seriously weakening the strength of Chu Cai's subordinates, so that the sailor defeated Chu Cailao after his sudden return.

This point includes the fact that after the members of the sailor division landed on the island, they looked at the corpses of many Chu Cai's old men who were discarded everywhere, as well as the number of broken walls and casualties of the soldiers, and they knew that the tragic situation of the war that had happened here was also to admit that the war camp was indeed very beautiful, and in order to defend the wolf's den village, the soldiers paid a considerable price, so the soldiers also through this battle, completely played their golden signboard, and won the respect of everyone up and down the sea wolf.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the strategic deployment of the future strategy of Taiyuan Island, the combat barracks also needs to be expanded accordingly to cope with the use of troops on Taiyuan Island in the future or to deal with other things.

In short, this time the expansion of the sea wolf tribe, the scale exceeded the previous expansion, Yu Xiaotian attached great importance to this matter, considering that Nanri Island is currently due to the existence of the business area and the increase of islanders, and the limited area of Nanri Island itself, it is difficult to prevent outsiders from peeping into the secrets of sea wolf training, so it was decided to move the new camp of the sea wolf specially used to train Xinding to the area of Tamsui Village for resettlement.

This decision has aroused certain objections among the members of Seawolf, especially the Council Hall, which is currently in charge of Seawolf's logistics, is quite dissatisfied with it.

The reason for the Council's opposition to this is simple: if the new camp were to move to Tamsui, the pressure on their Council Hall would be even greater.

There are already some old camp facilities on Nanri Island itself, although this time Chu Cailao attacked and destroyed most of the new barracks and facilities outside Dazhai, but it is not very troublesome to rebuild here.

But once the new camp is moved to the Tamsui side, everything needs to be done, and the investment may be greater, and the area around Tamsui Village has not really formed self-sufficiency, especially in terms of food, and the 3,000 people who have moved there have been reclaimed, because the farmland has just been reclaimed, and the harvest of the first year has not yet been harvested, and the newly reclaimed farmland is mostly raw land, and the grain output in the first two years is very low.

Sending one or two thousand new dings to Tamsui for training so suddenly would require more ships and manpower to provide them with food and other needs, which was too expensive and not very cost-effective.

In addition, such a large-scale change will involve many aspects, such as so many people moved to Tamsui Village, the training of the sea wolf is very strict, corporal punishment and accidents will continue to occur, the medical officer must be transferred to a batch, as well as the construction of the camp, where does the manpower come from, the construction of the Tamsui Village is already very tight, and now it is necessary to build a workshop area and a new shipyard, which makes the shortage of manpower.

What about these things? Therefore, a group of people led by Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi in the council hall tried their best to oppose Xiaotian's doing, and in the deliberations in front of the wolf's den hall, they said on the spot that it was inappropriate to do so.

As for the sailors and soldiers, they also have different views on this, thinking that it is actually okay to train Xinding on Nanri Island, once they move to Tamsui Village, they will also have to allocate a considerable amount of manpower to help, originally they are now overstretched, so the gain is a bit outweighed.

After listening to the opinions of these people, Yu Xiaotian thought about it again and again, and finally insisted on his opinion.

The reason why he insisted on moving the new camp of the sea wolf to Tamsui Village had several purposes.

One is that there are many people on Nanri Island nowadays, and it is too close to the land, and if there is a slight disturbance, it will soon be transmitted to the government on land, and he has recruited a large number of troops this time, if he trains on Nanri Island on a large scale, he will soon be known by the land government, so even in order to avoid suspicion and avoid the government from thinking that he wants to rebel, it is not a good choice to train Xinding on Nanri Island.

The second is that Tamsui Village is far away from the land, and Taiyuan Island is not a Daimyo territory so far, where is the Tiangao Emperor far away, he can do whatever he wants, and the government will not care what he does there.

Third, the main shipping lanes of the Taiwan Strait are currently mostly close to the land, and only when a small number of ships are heading from the Liangguang area to the Japanese country, it is possible to take the route close to Taiyuan Island, so he basically does not have to worry about the training there, because he will leak information and arouse the worries of the government.

Fourth, by letting the Xinding train in Tamsui Village, the Xinding can have an intuitive understanding and sense of identity with the Taiyuan Island, the rear of their sea wolves, so that they feel that Taiyuan Island will be their territory in the future, and they will have a sense of belonging there.

Of course, this also has drawbacks, that is, it increases the difficulty and consumption of logistics support, and there must be a considerable number of people and ships to supply food, clothing, weapons and other materials for these newcomers, and it also increases the pressure on the recent construction of Tamsui Village, making the pressure on Fang An and others there even greater.

But Yu Xiaotian felt that even with these problems, moving Xinying to Tamsui Village would have more advantages than staying on Nanri Island.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's explanation, everyone's opposition became smaller, and Lin Yiyang, as a staff officer, also thought that Yu Xiaotian's decision was right.

So in the end, the matter of the new battalion moving to Tamsui Village was determined, and it was immediately implemented, and the first batch of Xinding, which was Chu Cailao's subordinates captured this time, was immediately loaded and transported away, and went to Tamsui Village first, as a labor force to establish a new battalion, and after the new battalion was built, these people immediately stayed and began to receive training.

There are also a hundred soldiers who were sent together, and this group of soldiers will be responsible for guarding this group of prisoners for a period of time in the future, supervising them to establish a new battalion, and then they will stay in Tamsui Village to serve as the head of the new battalion in the future.

The new battalion was divided into two adjacent towers, one for the training of sailors, and the other for future recruits.

Moreover, the new battalion was required to be set up on the banks of the Tamsui River, and a temporary wharf should be built along the river to serve as a docking place for future training and supply ships.

The amount of work for such a new battalion was quite large, but fortunately the number of prisoners this time was also quite large, and after screening, five or six hundred people were finally left, and if these people had concentrated their efforts, with the help of some craftsmen, and the abundant timber resources in the local area, the construction of the new battalion should have been completed within two months.

In addition, some of the captives who were used as slaves will also be sent to Tamsui Village, and they will be used in the construction projects there, plus the local people recruited on the spot, and the various construction projects of Tamsui Village can be completed in four to five months at the earliest.
