The so-called landed payment, that is, let the merchants find their own way to hire a boat or use their own boat to transport the supplies needed by the sea wolf to either freshwater or chicken coop, and after arriving at the shore, the sea wolf will pay according to the price.

Although the price is somewhat more expensive than the seawolves to carry the transportation themselves, they no longer have to squeeze the ship capacity of their own merchant fleet, and their merchant ships can do some long-distance trade, which is very profitable, and can greatly offset the increase in costs caused by landed payments.

Moreover, the CIF price of the sea wolf has a greater advantage than that of the land, and now there is a custom when trading between land-based merchants, that is, three quarters of payment.

Three festivals of payment refers to the Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang, Spring Festival these three festivals, under normal circumstances, merchants purchase a large number of goods, mostly on credit, and wait until the time of the three festivals, before the delivery and settlement, the seller can only get their payment in the three festivals.

This is for businessmen, will occupy a large amount of funds, is not conducive to the turnover of funds, some businesses because of limited financial resources, look at sometimes some trading can make money, but because their own funds are not enough, do not dare to occupy too much amount of funds, can only stare dryly, miss the opportunity to make money.

Including the sea wolf's own Mao Shengyuan, it was also quite affected by this habit, when Mao Shengyuan was seized, the money owed to Mao Shengyuan outside alone was as high as hundreds of thousands of taels, although Li Yi carried out some clearance before closing the door, but most of the money was not paid to the third period, and the merchants who owed the debts could not take out too much silver in hand, so only a small part was recovered, and most of the arrears had not been cleared and recovered.

Of course, there are also some treacherous people, seeing that the government is going to attack the sea wolf, even if they have money, they will not pay it back, and want to see the extent of the next development, these treacherous people have made a wishful calculation, that is, once the sea wolf is exterminated by the government this time, then they don't have to pay back these debts, which is equivalent to falling a large amount of money out of thin air, and picking it up cheaply.

Yu Xiaotian is not worried about these debts, because he knows very well that as long as he completely hurts the government this time and lets the world see how powerful he is, naturally no one will dare not pay back the money, the premise is that he must win this battle, as for whether he can win this battle, Yu Xiaotian has no doubts at all.

Now the naval and land armies he has built single-handedly, although the number of troops is not as large as the officers and troops used by the Fujian government this time, he can ensure that his subordinates are all elite, and compared with those officers and troops who are at the level of five scum in battle, they are not at the same level at all.

Whether it is the navy or the army, now looking at the world, they are definitely the most well-equipped, not to mention the navy, the artillery of various calibers accumulated over the past few years can be said to have armed the navy to the teeth, and the Spanish fleet has been defeated by them, not to mention the Fujian naval division that was hastily rearmed, even if they gather more ships, they can't help the fleet of the sea wolf.

Speaking of the Sea Wolves' army, although the scale is not large, only about three or four thousand people, these army soldiers are basically all organized and trained in accordance with the training methods of modern and modern armies, and the equipment is gradually dominated by muskets, and the number of equipment of various muskets has reached six to seven percent of the army, and the arms have also become perfect.

Not to mention that the sea wolf now has a secret weapon, that is, the rifled flintlock pistol that has just been equipped, if such a level of equipment is still defeated by the officers and soldiers of the first level of the five scum of the war, then he Yu Xiaotian simply found a place to jump into the sea and kill himself and pull him down, and it is not interesting to continue to mix.

So in the past few months, Yu Xiaotian has not shown any worry at all, and even with those subordinates, they all feel full of energy, and they are not worried about this war.

However, according to Yu Xiaotian's plan, the sea wolf still behaved very low-key, except for those patrol ships that control the fishing grounds are still patrolling the major fishing grounds normally, the merchant fleet continues to plan activities according to the original plan, and most of the rest of the warships have been temporarily put away, and Chen is stationed in Nanri Island and Tamsui for normal training and maintenance.

New ships are still being launched from the shipyard and equipped into the navy, and old ships are also being sent to the slipway or dock at the Nanri Island Shipyard for major renovations.

In addition, some of the workshops on Nanri Island, which consume a lot of water, began to be shut down one by one after August, including the soap factory and the glass field, two important workshops of the sea wolf, were shut down, and the equipment in the factories was also dismantled, including the workers and their families, all of which were loaded onto ships and transported to Taiyuan Island.

Because the soap factory is mainly supplied by Keelung Fort, the important raw material of soap is currently mainly provided by Keelung Fort, so all of them were transferred to Keelung Fort for production, and the glass yard was all transferred to Tamsui City for resettlement.

The reason for this is that Maoshengyuan was temporarily seized by the government, as the general distribution of these two products of the sea wolf, after the Mao Shengyuan was shut down, even if the current products are produced, they are temporarily in a state of unsalable, although the sea wolf can still ship in Guangzhou, but the sales have been greatly affected, with the current output of the workshop in Tamsui City, it is enough to meet the needs, so the workshop on Nanri Island will not be affected too much.

In addition, the water consumption of these two industries is relatively large, and the freshwater resources of Nanri Island itself are not very rich, and it was not obvious when the population of Nanri Island was small in the past, but now the number of immigrants on Nanri Island has increased significantly, and a large number of farmland has been reclaimed, and the contradiction of water use has become increasingly prominent.

In addition, the fleet of the Sea Wolf is often based on Nanri Island, and the navy and army also have a large demand for fresh water, which makes the problem of lack of fresh water resources on Nanri Island increasingly prominent.

The soap factory, the glass field and other workshops are water tigers that consume a lot of water, which exacerbates the scarcity of fresh water resources on Nanri Island.

Nanri Island itself is relatively small in size, it is not suitable for a large-scale industrial base, before Yu Xiaotian had no choice, he could only dig the first pot of gold here, now he has made enough capital, and controls the two places of Tamsui and chicken coops, Nanri Island is naturally not suitable to continue to serve as their base camp.

After careful consideration, Yu Xiaotian finally decided to gradually move the workshops on Nanri Island out of Nanri Island, most of them to Taiyuan Island, and the other part of the military workshops, Yu Xiaotian thought of a better place, and he would move to another place in the future.

Just taking advantage of this time, Yu Xiaotian ordered the soap factory and glass field on Nanri Island to be shut down first, and all of them were moved to Taiwan Island, including the gunpowder workshop, all of which were also stopped, and most of them were moved to Tamsui City, merging the original Tamsui City Gunpowder Factory and the workshop for making artillery shells and shells to form a large ammunition factory.

After such a toss, the workshop area of Nanri Island suddenly seemed to be much deserted, only cannons and guns remained, and production was maintained for the time being, and a steady stream of new cannons and muskets were produced for the sea wolves.

In addition, the sea wolf also moved some of the migrants who did not want to stay on Nanri Island, and every day, a shipload of goods and migrants, as well as workers and their families, were loaded and transported out of Nanri Island and sent to Tamsui City and Keelung Fort respectively.

After the news reached the ears of Zhu Yifeng and other officials on the land, it also gave them a false impression that the sea wolf had plans to abandon Nanri Island, which to a certain extent, also misled the official judgment and made it miscalculate.

As for the military preparations for the Sea Wolves, they had already begun, and after the reorganization of the three fleets, they all quickly launched targeted training, conducting training on the integration of the fleets in the waters northeast of Nanri Island every day, and conducting confrontational drills in groups, and the atmosphere of preparation for war was very strong.

The army also launched targeted offensive and defensive combat training in the vicinity of Tamsui City, and the generals of the army carried out a number of large-scale confrontational exercises in the military restricted area of Tamsui City to test their actual combat capability.

Although there are many recruits among them, when these recruits are integrated into the company, led by veterans, and after targeted intensive training, the recruits have basically mastered the skills of combat.

The captured Spanish infantrymen were sent to serve as instructors during these months, and honestly taught some of the combat skills they had mastered to the Seawolf officers, and informed the Seawolf officers of some of their combat rules and regulations.

According to Yu Xiaotian's request, these Spanish sailors and infantry officers, according to his requirements, wrote out some Spanish military norms they knew, compiled them into a book, and handed them over to Yu Xiaotian, and after Yu Xiaotian let the translator all translate into Chinese, he carefully watched it from beginning to end.

After reading what these captives had written, he personally compiled them, extracted the essence from them, and incorporated some rules and regulations implemented by the Seawolf Navy and Army in the past, and recompiled a set of naval and army conduct codes.

After all, the officers among these captives have received more systematic education and training, and are familiar with the establishment and training methods of the Spanish army, plus Yu Xiaotian's understanding of other armies in later generations, the compiled drill code is naturally much more perfect than the army regulations used by the Spaniards.

To a certain extent, after combining the best military rules and regulations in the West in this time and space, Yu Xiaotian compiled this set of drill codes, which can be regarded as the most perfect and practical army norms in this era.
