This is probably the best news that Yu Xiaotian heard after coming to the chicken coop village, since he led people to seize the chicken coop bay, he found a big problem of his own existence, that is, whether his subordinates are crew members or soldiers, most of them are converted from fishermen in the coastal area.

These people don't look at the boats and fishing, but when they enter the mountains and forests, most of them belong to the type of soft-footed shrimp, and they are not familiar with the jungle at all, let alone fighting people in the jungle.

The last time he led people into the group of natives who attacked and killed the sea wolf tribes, if it wasn't for coercion and lure other natives to help, lure those natives out of the mountains and forests, and crush them with a platoon of guns, it would be difficult for him to deal with these natives roaring in the mountains and forests with his own strength.

Although when he began to recruit soldiers last year, he began to pay attention to recruiting some hunters from the interior of Fujian and adding them to the war barracks, in an attempt to improve the combat ability of the sea wolf's soldiers on land, especially in the mountains and forests, but at present, such a method cannot have an immediate effect.

After realizing this, Yu Xiaotian decided to take advantage of the unique natural conditions of Jilongzhai and the trust relationship between the local people that had been established here, so that the soldiers here could enter the mountains and forests and learn how to survive and fight in the mountains and forests.

Now after listening to Sun Baoqiang's words, Yu Xiaotian can rest assured, at least it can be determined that his original arrangement has had a certain effect, so that the sea wolf troops stationed here have a certain ability to survive and fight in the mountains and forests.

In the next step, this method will be implemented on the side of Tamsui Village, so that the garrison of Tamsui Village can also gain experience in this area, so that they can gain the ability to fight in the mountains and forests.

He did not simply deal with the aborigines living on the island of Taiwan, now that he has determined that the sea wolf will continue to develop on the island in the future, in addition to dealing with the harsh environment here, he will also have to deal with possible enemies, including many Western armies that have been firearmed.

Therefore, his soldiers are very necessary, and he has a strong ability to fight in mountains and jungles, and this will also be his capital to firmly control the island of Taiwan in the future.

So Yu Xiaotian immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Well done!" That's what I want! It's a pity that the weather is too bad now, otherwise I must immediately check your results and see with my own eyes the level of hunting in the mountains and forests here! ”

The black head said triumphantly: "Please rest assured, at present, we have begun to equip more and more flintlock pistols here, and forty short guns were sent some time ago, and they have also been distributed.

At present, Brother Sun and I change a group of people to hunt in the mountains every ten days, and we can basically return our whole body and bring out a lot of prey!

In addition, in the past year, we have captured more than 200 native slaves, these people are monkey spirits in the mountains, after we cleaned them up hard, one or two are now obedient to us, very obedient, especially those who have been injured and rescued by us, they are even more obedient.

So Brother Sun and I incorporated dozens of young, strong, and obedient people into the soldiers, and served as auxiliaries for our people, and followed our brothers into the mountains.

With the help of these guys, it is much easier for our people to do it in the forest, these guys are deaf and clear-sighted, running in the mountains and forests, some guys even dare to hunt with their bare hands, and it is not a problem to set up hunting traps and dig traps!

And they are also good at using bows and arrows, we have given them some strong bows and hard bows that we don't use, and replaced the bamboo bows and arrows they used to be good at, these guys are even more powerful, after having them, it is not difficult to enter the mountain now! ”

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian was a little surprised, he didn't expect to use these captured natives to fight for them, but he didn't expect to make the black head think of this method.

The native people have lived in the mountains and forests since childhood, and the familiarity with the mountains and forests is by no means something that outsiders can achieve in a short time.

If they can transform the natives into their soldiers, then this is very powerful, and the combat effectiveness of these natives in the mountains and forests is definitely far greater than that of the sea wolf's own soldiers.

This method is a pretty good method, so Yu Xiaotian nodded again to express his satisfaction with this method, and he wanted to see how capable these native auxiliaries were.

In the next two or three days, because of the impact of the typhoon, Jilong Bay was always pouring rain, the project could only be stopped, and the ships could not go to sea, so Yu Xiaotian could only stay here honestly and take the opportunity to rest.

After the stalemate with Chu Cai a few years ago, Yu Xiaotian has been busy preparing for the war, and after finally winning the battle of Nanri Island, all kinds of post-war aftermath things have come one after another, and Yu Xiaotian is busy with all fours, and there is no chance to breathe for a while.

So he set off to inspect Tamsui Village and Jilong Village, and this time he unfortunately encountered a typhoon in Jilong Village, which forced Yu Xiaotian to take a rest.

Sometimes Yu Xiaotian himself ponders, he is so busy, so tired of what to do, he seems to have been in a state of tension when he comes to this world, and he has almost no chance to enjoy life, just blindly protecting his plate, raising his plate with one hand, but he has no time at all to let himself rest and rest.

Is it worth it to do Sometimes even he feels a little hard to figure it out, but he just continues to be busy, until he accidentally remembers this matter, struggles a little, and then immediately throws this matter behind him.

Pinching his fingers and calculating, it is now the fifth year of the Apocalypse, these few months, he has been busy dealing with Chu Cailao, and did not pay attention to the situation of the Ming Dynasty today, and a few days ago before he left Nanri Island, he heard news from the north, saying that the Jiannu army at the beginning of the year, broke through the Lushun Pass, the generals Zhang Pan and Zhu Guochang were killed, and the city was destroyed, which was also a big defeat for Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army over the years.

When it comes to Mao Wenlong, Yu Xiaotian is very admired, Mao Wenlong doesn't need to say anything, everyone knows that Mao Wenlong is a brave general of the Ming Dynasty, leading a small number of generals with one hand, and creating a strong Dongjiang Army in Liaodong, when everyone almost gave up, he established a base to contain Jiannu behind Liaodong Jiannu, so that the slave chief Nurhachi never dared to invade the south when Mao Wenlong was alive, I have always been worried that Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army, the sharp blade inserted in their backs, will take the opportunity to kill their Jiannu.

It's a pity that Mao Wenlong never got what he wanted, the imperial court day after day, year after year, put countless military funds into Liaodong, but Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army has never been able to get enough food and salary support, even if it is the limited military salary allocated by the imperial court, after the layers of exploitation by officials in Shandong and other places, after reaching their hands, most of it has also drifted away, so that since the establishment of the Dongjiang Army, it has always been worried about the problem of food, which has also led to the deterioration of the relationship between Mao Wenlong and the civilian system.

Mao Wenlong is undoubtedly a very capable person, and he is also a general who is extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but because he has never been able to obtain enough resources, he cannot completely return the Liaodong Peninsula to the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The most annoying thing is that Yu Xiaotian has never figured it out, Yuan Chonghuan, a bastard thing, didn't do anything after he took office, but he ran to kill Mao Wenlong first, and history has always said that Yuan Chonghuan is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't make sense to kill Mao Wenlong and cut off the Ming Dynasty's arm that can contain Jiannu.

So Yu Xiaotian has always had a feeling that he can't say about Yuan Chonghuan, because there is a lot of controversy about Yuan Chonghuan's evaluation in later generations, some people say that Yuan Chonghuan is a standard loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and some people say that Yuan Chonghuan is a complete bastard, even if this guy is not a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, he is also a guy who sells his reputation and loves to talk big.

At least in the matter of Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong, Yu Xiaotian felt that it was really unforgivable.

Last year, the people he sent to the north to transport ice came into contact with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army in Shandong, and the Dongjiang Army was indeed trading at sea, dumping some Liaodong specialties and some Korean specialties, especially Korean ginseng, Liaodong ginseng, deer antlers, skins, horns, and other things.

This is also an important evidence that Yuan Chonghuan and other civilian officials later attacked Mao Wenlong, saying that Mao Wenlong and Jiannu traded privately, and confirmed Mao Wenlong's crime of collaborating with the enemy.

But Yu Xiaotian scoffed at this statement, in exchange for whoever sits in Liaodong, without the sufficient financial and food support of his own country, he must also find a way to feed so many Dongjiang Army soldiers and hundreds of thousands of refugees in Liaodong, these things can be ignored by the imperial court, but Mao Wenlong, as the commander of the Dongjiang Army, must find a way to feed these people if he wants to take root in Liaodong and survive on these refugees.

Now is the Xiaoice River period, even the winter on the coast of Fujian is cold to death, not to mention the Liaodong area far in the north, where there is no snow for a few months all year round, and from time to time there will be a big drought, the grain seeds planted in the spring, even before it is ripe, it will start to snow again, and there will be no harvest all year round, before he came to this era, he did not know the impact of the Xiaoice River period on this era, but when he came to this era, Now I can understand the power of the Xiaoice River period.

So to some extent, the Xiaoice River era is also an important reason for the destruction of Daming rivers and mountains, there was a serious drought and severe cold in the north, which made a serious famine in the north in this era, which led to a large area of peasant uprisings in Daming Mountain, Shaanxi Yulu and many places in the north, and at the same time, the Jiannu Tartars living outside the pass, in order to live better, began to invade the south, coupled with the accumulation of Daming's maladministration, and finally completely destroyed the Daming building.
