Chapter XIII New Regulations
As the dust gradually settled on the collapse of the Shark Gang, the maritime merchants in Fuzhou also got the news that Yu Xiaotian would open a port on Nanri Island.
However, the reaction of these maritime merchants to the news was not enthusiastic, and none of them even went to Nanri Island to negotiate with the sea wolves about setting up a trading house on the island.
Yu Xiaotian is not in a hurry about this, he needs a certain amount of time to digest the fruits of victory to his mouth first, although he is very urgent, but he is not in a hurry, so he is not exempted from the training of the people.
In several places on the entire Nanri Island, in May and June, the hysterical shouting and scolding of the sect leaders and the shouts and killing of the trainees during the drill were constantly heard every day.
A large group of guys who never knew what a queue was before, under the leadership of the old Seawolf troops, learned how to line up, learned to work and rest on time, drilled on time, and lined up to eat......
The rules were taught by the old brothers of the old division of the sea wolf, and they were taught to these new tribesmen one by one, and gradually the camps began to become orderly.
Although there are not many of these old and new sea wolves who are literate, Yu Xiaotian still requires each of them to memorize the various regulations and regulations promulgated by the sea wolves before, and every day before dinner, everyone is required to recite what they have learned that day, and if they can't memorize it, they will be exempted from dinner, and they will also be subject to other corporal punishments.
However, Yu Xiaotian abolished the punishment of physical mutilation commonly used by pirates in the past, and instead used physical training to replace the punishment of cutting the nose and piercing the face, at most it was starvation or beating with a military stick, which became relatively humane and was also welcomed by the newcomers.
But for these guys who don't know a lot of words, this kind of memorization of regulations still makes them feel more difficult than ascending to the sky, and they are all being cleaned up one by one.
Even Wang Hong, Fang An, and Ma Feng originally wanted to set an example for their subordinates at first and carry them together, but after a few days, they were all tormented and complained, and secretly ran to find Yu Xiaotian to vomit.
Yu Xiaotian smiled and told them that if you don't want to do to others, you should set an example for the generals, otherwise how can you serve the public? Therefore, it is best to take the lead in memorizing these rules if they suffer a little, and they will be looked down upon by their subordinates in the future.
These guys had no choice but to accept it and continue to turn back and bury their heads in their backs.
And Yu Xiaotian put forward a slogan among the sea wolves, that is, unity, forge ahead, and cooperate sincerely! These eight characters were scribbled in white lime on the walls inside and outside the village and in the camps, which was nothing more than a purpose, to eliminate the gap between the old and new personnel among the sea wolves, and to bring the sea wolf tribes together as much as possible.
When his strength increased, Yu Xiaotian found that he was facing a new problem, that is, how to manage these subordinates and ships.
Yu Xiaotian, as a ship model enthusiast, naturally often understands some issues related to the navies of various countries, the most successful maritime country in the history of the world, not counting the old United States in later generations, I am afraid it can only be regarded as the United Kingdom.
As an island country in Europe, Britain actually rose in the ocean not too early, and before the rise of the British in the sea, there were actually two European countries, Spain and the Netherlands, who had been running around the ocean.
However, the British still came from behind, defeated the then maritime power Spain at sea with weak troops, defeated the Spanish Armada, which was proud of the world at that time, and quickly rose on the sea and became a maritime hegemon.
In the following centuries, Britain achieved the title of a great empire on which the sun never set, and the navy was undoubtedly unmatched above the sea for hundreds of years.
Britain is a small island nation, and not long after the reunification of the United Kingdom, what can be done and how they did it has been talked about in later generations, and there are constantly people discussing and researching.
Some attribute this to the fact that the British were good at using their weapons and warships, and that they used sound tactics to achieve one victory after another.
However, some people believe that the reason why the British navy rarely encounters opponents in the world is inseparable from their traditions, because their navy has established a good tradition from the very beginning of its establishment, and the officers and men of the navy are all warlike and good at war, and only then have they laid a great foundation for Britain.
Of course, there are also people who have discussed the reasons for the success of the British Navy at a deeper level, and attributed it to the fact that the most important reason for the success of the British Navy is that they have established a very good system, and they are constantly adjusting their system around how to always motivate the morale of the officers and men.
In these respects, Yu Xiaotian believes that there is some truth in these points, but the latter one he agrees with the most is the most reckless, that is, the British have established a good system for their navy, which can always motivate the officers and men of the navy to make unremitting efforts.
Only a good system can ensure the good operation of a team, for which Yu Xiaotian has also read some information about the British Navy on the Internet and some related discussions, and he still has a little understanding of the British Navy's system.
Although he is not very strong now, he has begun to face the problem of how to manage his subordinates.
In the past, he only had a few boats, and one or two hundred men were fine, but now he has more than a dozen ships under his hands, and then he will face the problem of how to control these ships and the men on them.
There is a big difference between acting on sea and land, once the ship goes to sea, with the level of communication in this era, the boss loses control of the ship, and everything can only be done according to the ship's captain.
The person in charge of the ship can find a place to lie down and be lazy, and if he encounters an enemy ship, he can also pat his ass and leave, and he can pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and no one can control them.
But how to supervise them is a science, this is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two, but one of the things that Yu Xiaotian admires most about the British Navy is that they insist on fighting the enemy!
In fact, the British naval officers and sailors were also raised by their mothers, and there was no God to favor them, and they were also mortal in the flesh, and they were not made of any special materials, but their bravery could not but be commendable, and they were more courageous than the naval officers and men of other countries, which would never be for any other reason than the system.
Yu Xiaotian was idle, and in his newly opened study, he made a stack of paper and wrote and drew again, and it took five full days to pull out a new set of rules and regulations.
This thing basically includes the reward and punishment system of the sea wolves in the future, the combat command and supervision system, the personnel distribution system, and so on.
First of all, Yu Xiaotian pondered for a while, he can basically only be regarded as a gang at the moment, and everyone is now unconsciously used to calling them the Seawolf Gang, whether he likes it or not, whether he admits it or not, his Seawolf Gang has been decided, so he simply recognized this reality.
So he took Nanri Island Dazhai as his headquarters, called it the Wolf's Den, and he was the chief helmsman to manage the various affairs of the entire Sea Wolf Gang.
The role of the torture hall is easy to explain, that is, to preside over the punishment of the Sea Wolf Gang, instead of Xiao Tian, the helmsman of the power of supervision, in a sense, it belongs to the judicial supervision organ within the Sea Wolf Gang, and its rights can be said to be second only to Yu Xiaotian, and it has the absolute right to speak in the Sea Wolf Gang, and the hall master of the torture hall was handed over to Liu Lao Liu to take charge, and the deputy hall master unexpectedly fell on Fang An.
This made Fang An a little surprised, and he got up and wanted to excuse himself, but he was persuaded by Yu Xiaotian: "Brother Fang! Don't shirk it, look at our Seawolf Gang, I Yu Mou thinks that you are the most respected, the most fair in doing things, and the most respected among the brothers below, so Yu Mou thinks that this position belongs to you, and I hope you can help Uncle Six take care of the affairs of the torture hall! ”
Fang An was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then bowed deeply to Xiaotian: "Thank you for the big boss's trust so much, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, Fang is willing to listen to the orders of the big boss!" Please rest assured, I will help Uncle Six do his part in the future! ”
Wang Hong and Ma Feng were also very happy about Fang An's appointment as the deputy hall master of the torture hall, after all, if there was no one from their Shark Gang in the torture hall, some things would not be easy to do, although Liu Lao Liu was highly respected among the sea wolves, but after all, he was a little older, but he did not have much prestige in the old department of the Shark Gang, and once he had to deal with the affairs of the old department of the Shark Gang, it would inevitably make people slander sometimes.
Now that Fang An has gone to the torture hall to serve as the deputy hall master, so that the two of them have discussed and made a decision together, whether it is the old brother of the sea wolf or the new brother, there is nothing to say, Yu Xiaotian's arrangement is actually very well considered, think about it carefully, except for Fang An who is more suitable to do this, other people are really not suitable.
As for the council hall, it is just a hall set up by Yu Xiaotian, and its function is to temporarily integrate some miscellaneous matters such as logistics, commerce, accounting, workshops, and fishing of the sea wolf to this hall, and the province will have a chaotic situation.
This hall was explained by Yu Xiaotian and temporarily handed over to Li Gouzi to be in charge, but Li Gouzi was not appointed as the hall master, but only temporarily acted as the hall master.
Li Gouzi was a little dissatisfied with this, and the chores were handed over to him, although this was a standard fat difference, but it took a lot of energy, and Yu Xiaotian did not give him a formal position as the hall master, which made him a little unhappy.
But Yu Xiaotian has talked to Li Gouzi in private, and told Li Gouzi that this is an expedient measure, this stall is too big, and he has no suitable candidate at the moment, and when he has a suitable candidate in the future, he will divide this piece into several pieces, and will give Li Gouzi a hall in the future, and let Li Gouzi be in charge, and the position of the hall master will be given to him in the future.
Only then did he appease Li Gouzi and let Li Gouzi take over the position, but Yu Xiaotian still handed over the former Zhang Hu's bookkeeper to Li Gouzi, and asked him to work under Li Gouzi, responsible for helping Li Gouzi take care of the accounts and some things related to the warehouse.
