Treasure Island as Yu Xiaotian led the people to the sea, the first old camp, although after he occupied the dove's nest and went to Nanri Island, this place was not completely abandoned by him, and Dazhai will also regularly take turns to send more than ten or twenty sea wolf troops to garrison and maintain the facilities here to a certain extent.

After all, it is not easy to find a small island with abundant fresh water resources along the coast, and it is a pity to build a small village after Xiaotian has been operating for a period of time, as well as a small wharf and two trestle bridges, and already has relatively complete infrastructure.

More importantly, the geographical location of Treasure Island is relatively remote, far away from the mainland, and it is not on the route, it is a relatively good hiding place, usually rarely noticed, only a very small number of ships that go to the open sea to pass through, occasionally in the event of a storm or lack of water, come here to replenish water and shelter from the wind, if the sea wolf gives up here, it is estimated that it will soon be occupied by others, and all kinds of facilities built by Yu Xiaotian on the island are equivalent to being cheaper for others.

In addition, as the starting place of the sea wolf, the old brothers of the sea wolf were emotionally unwilling to see this place being abandoned, so Yu Xiaotian did not abandon this island in the end for these reasons, but sent people to station here in shifts on a regular basis, anyway, there was no shortage of these dozen people.

In early March, the Treasure Island and its crew returned to Nanri Island to assemble, and were soon transferred out of Nanri Island in large numbers on the grounds that they were going to purge Chu Cai's old subordinates along the coast of Fuzhou.

However, these ships and the sea wolf tribe did not go to the coastal area of Fuzhou separately as everyone seemed on the surface, but went to the coastal area of Fuzhou in groups of three or two, and then began to sail quietly to Treasure Island.

Gradually, Treasure Island, which had been quiet for nearly two years, became lively again, and the first to arrive here were more than a dozen sentinel boats, which wiped out all kinds of ships within a radius of thirty miles around Treasure Island, including the personnel on board, all of them were temporarily detained, and they were first locked up in Treasure Island Dazhai, and they were quite lucky, and they were actually among these ships, and caught a boat under Chu Cai's old men who were active in the waters near Treasure Island.

As for the other unfortunate fishing boats and merchant ships, after the Sea Wolf brought them to Treasure Island, they only temporarily seized them and gave them proper resettlement, did not rob them of their goods and ships, and appeased them, telling them that the Sea Wolf was going to do business in this area, so in order to prevent the news from being exposed, so they were temporarily wronged, and they would be compensated afterwards, and they would not be at a loss.

Although the people of these merchant ships are not happy, but there is no way, now the sea wolf in this Fuzhou area has the final say, their ships did not pay the road money, detoured here to try to avoid the channel, but were unlucky to be caught by the sea wolf, the sea wolf did not confiscate their cargo, they were already burning high incense, so they didn't dare to put a fart here.

As for the fishermen on the fishing boats that were temporarily detained, after learning that the sea wolves were going to work in the area, and receiving assurances from the sea wolves, the sea wolves made sure that they were safe, and when they let them go afterwards, they would give them a considerable sum of silver as compensation for the delay in their fishing, and the fishermen had nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the fishermen here in Fuzhou are very close to the sea wolf, and after arriving at Treasure Island, they do not want to eat white rice and be idle, and some fishermen even offered to temporarily help the sea wolf on this island, so they became the temporary porters of the sea wolf and began to help the sea wolf load and unload the goods.

After clearing the area of water for boats, several large sand boats, which were used as transport ships, sailed to Treasure Island, docked at the docks, and unloaded large quantities of food and other supplies.

Then a large number of sea wolf ships began to sail to Treasure Island in twos and threes, and docked in three sheltered bays on Treasure Island.

After all, Treasure Island is a small island with a total area of only one or two square kilometers, and the bay of the island is not big, in the past, when Yu Xiaotian's strength was weak, three or two boats parked here in the dock and bay seemed more than enough, but now the bay where the dock is located has to be stuffed into so many ships at once, and it can't accommodate it at all, so it can only be docked separately in three bays that can be sheltered from the wind.

These sea wolf warships gather here, there are two layers of blockade on the periphery, the outermost layer is sprinkled with some fishing boats, pretending to be fishing, once a ship is found to be close, immediately notify the sentinel ship to come to intercept, for the ships that accidentally intrude into this sea area, the sea wolf will directly catch and detain it on Treasure Island, so the waters in this area have completely become a vacuum, no one can find out that in this small Treasure Island, there will be so many people and boats.

Now these ships and manpower, because Yu Xiaotian is not there, they are temporarily handed over to Wang Hong to command, and Ma Xiao acts as his deputy, and the two of them cooperate to control the gang of guys under them, and continue to carry out intensive training on the sea near Treasure Island every day.

The Sea Wolf's fleet has been training for two months after the New Year, and the people on this group of ships are basically from familiar backgrounds, even if they are just a group of novices, after two months of training, they should already be quite familiar with the things of sea warfare.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf Tribe, which was already quite clean, has become much sharper after two months of training, everyone knows everything about their battle position, and they can almost memorize all kinds of regulations, and the most important thing is that they have solved many previous problems through these two months of training.

In the ancient sea to carry out large-scale naval operations, the biggest problem faced by the ship regiment is the problem of command and coordination, and in this regard, Yu Xiaotian was really just a layman at first, although he also realized that he would encounter such problems in the future, and designed a set of simple flags in advance, but this did not completely solve the command problem when fighting at sea.

In a small-scale formation, the flag can also be more effective in commanding the fleet, but in a large-scale maritime formation, a ship group will spread out a very large area, and sometimes the ships may also block each other, so that some ships can not see the flag displayed on the handsome ship.

Therefore, complex flag language cannot effectively solve the command problem at this time, on the contrary, it may affect the actual effect and create greater confusion because of the excessive amount of information transmitted.

Later, the sea wolf still found a person who had worked in the official army and naval division, and learned from him some of the methods of the official naval division to command the battle during the naval battle, and the main means of command in the large-scale naval battles of this era were nothing more than flags, drums and trumpets, and sometimes they would be assisted by dyssis or rockets.

So Yu Xiaotian and his leaders used these known things to carry out continuous compilation during this time, using different colors of order flags to represent different meanings, or hanging red lanterns, different numbers of lanterns representing different meanings, supplemented by bugles and flags, and arranging a new set of orders.

In this way, the problem of effective command of the commander ship over the other ships of the regiment was basically solved in large-scale naval operations, and after the new command method was determined, the sea wolf's regiment was popularized to ensure that the captain, first mate and Shangdou and others on each ship could effectively read the meaning of these signals.

Then, during this period of time, when the sea wolf went to sea for training, the main thing was to conduct the drill of command and cooperation, constantly allowing the ship group to change the formation at sea and solve the problem of mutual cooperation.

Moreover, the sea wolf is still based on three sub-fleets, and when the whole team fights, the handsome ships are the mainstay, and each sub-fleet also has a spare handsome ship, once the handsome ship has a problem, the other two spare handsome ships can take over the command at any time according to the situation or the order of the handsome ship, raise the handsome flag and continue to command the ship regiment to fight.

When the ship regiment is separated, this spare handsome ship will become the handsome ship of the sub-fleet, and the handsome flag of the sub-fleet can be raised to command the ships under its command, so that the command and cooperation problem of the Seawolf Ship Regiment will be basically solved, and there will be no more command failure and chaotic coordination when the training has just begun.

This is particularly important for the Seawolf Group, so that it can command more flexibly than its opponents at sea and exert greater combat effectiveness.

In addition, the focus of the sea wolf's ship group is to rehearse their current unique linear formation, in addition, Yu Xiaotian also made a herringbone array formation again some time ago, because this formation is compared with the long column formation, one is that it can send more firepower to the two wings in a short time, giving full play to the assault ability of the fleet, and the second is that it can tear apart the opponent's ship formation more easily than the column formation, and it is more flexible to command, which is more suitable for large-scale ship group battles, and the third is that the fleet can tear the opponent's ship group in a shorter time, after tearing the opponent's ship group, Concentrate the force or divide a part of the force to surround the enemy by the divided fleet, better destroy the enemy, and form a local advantage in the number of ships and firepower.

After several recent exercises, Wang Hong and others responded well to the effect of this herringbone, that is, the inverted V-shaped queue, believing that this formation has quite good practicality, and preliminarily decided to adopt this formation once there is a battle with Chu Cailao's ship group.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also prepared a big gift for Chu Cai Lao for this upcoming battle in the past two months, just waiting for Chu Cai to make a move.
