Therefore, now Yu Xiaotian believes that the most important thing for him at the moment is to continue his Taoguang cultivation, make a fortune in a muffled voice, and continue to accumulate his strength, and if he wants to participate in the competition for the Central Plains in the future, then the most important thing now is to have money first.

And at present, on the surface, his strength seems to be not weak, the population controlled under his wings alone has reached more than 100,000 people, the number of troops has reached more than 7,000 people, and the number of ships has reached hundreds, but with such strength alone, it is still too weak to want to jump out of the road and overthrow the Ming Zhu dynasty.

And at present, it seems that his strength is very strong, but there is a great danger hidden, because the ratio of the population he controls to the population of the army is too great, and among the population he actually controls, the ratio of military and civilian population exceeds 1:10, and even reaches the ratio of 1:8.

This is completely unthinkable for a normal regime, which is equivalent to eight people having to support a soldier and a manager, not to mention the children who are unable to work, the old and weak, women and children, even in North Korea, which was known as the Songun politics in later generations, the ratio of soldiers and reservists to the population is only about 1 to 20.

It is unthinkable under normal circumstances to let such a small population maintain such a large army, but fortunately, his sailor is not only inaccessible, his current identity is still a pirate, and his navy has a lot of output in addition to investment, that is, through the navy's continuous smuggling operations on the sea, so that the sea wolf can obtain more adequate military funds.

In addition, he also has some monopoly commodity sales, coupled with the constant maritime trade of the merchant fleet under the council hall, which has brought him quite a huge amount of benefits, and his current army weapons and equipment problem is basically self-sufficient, otherwise, with only these tens of thousands of people to collect taxes, it is estimated that he can't even feed an army of 500 people, at best, he can be regarded as a group of villagers.

So next, he must increase the number of controllable population as soon as possible, not only to provide him with stable food and military expenses, but more importantly, to give his army blood transfusions, and to increase the number of his army at any time through conscription operations when he needs it.

However, these things are off-topic at this meeting, and he will not talk about them publicly here now.

The navy naturally has no opinion on his arrangement of the navy, and after this adjustment, the navy can do more and its tentacles can stretch farther.

At the beginning, Yu Xiaotian thought about using the fleet division of the Chinese Navy in the old time and space, and called the three fleets he temporarily divided into the East China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, but if you think about it carefully, the area where he is currently active is basically in the East China Sea, and now he has a North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, which is really a bit unworthy of the name, so he finally named his fleet after the first, second and third.

In addition to the three major fleets as the main combat force, the navy also separately listed the fishing vessels and the whaling fleet, and set up a fishing fleet, because the sea wolf currently has many smaller ships, usually do not undertake any combat missions, these ships because of the small displacement, or the condition of the ship is not good enough, usually mainly carry out sea fishing operations and whaling operations, to provide more adequate protein needs for the sea wolf people, so as to ensure the daily needs and nutritional needs of the sea wolf people.

These ships did not have a clear ownership before, nor did they have a very systematic management and distribution, but this time Yu Xiaotian separated them from the fleet and set up a fishing fleet, which was handed over to Lu Tong to be responsible for unified deployment and management.

And Lu Tong, a small pirate who was active in the ocean around Xinghua Mansion and Fuzhou a long time ago, followed Yu Xiaotian when he colluded with Wang Hong, Fang An, Ma Feng and others, and united with his small counterparts around him to deal with the shark Zhang Hu.

Lu Tong's brother Lu Sheng, who was originally the leader of their pirates, was killed by Zhang Hu because he did not listen to Zhang Hu's dispatch, and their lair was also destroyed by Zhang Hu, so Lu Tong later joined Yu Xiaotian after Yu Xiaotian entered Nanri Island.

Because Yu Xiaotian killed Zhang Hu and avenged Lu, Lu Tong was also loyal to Xiaotian, but this person's ability is not very strong, because after Xiaotian became the master of Nanri Island, he has always been not famous among the sea wolves, and he just silently does something that others are not willing to do.

The Lutong family itself was a fisherman at the earliest, and most of the people he brought were fishermen, and they were very familiar with fishing, and in the past few years, they have been taking a few boats, either fishing at sea or going to whaling at sea, and have accumulated considerable experience in fishing and whaling.

This time, when Yu Xiaotian decided to set up a professional fishing fleet, he simply handed over this fleet to Lu Tong to be in charge, which was equivalent to giving Lu Tong a very important position and making him enter the high-level of the sea wolf.

In addition to fishing and whaling, the fishing team will also be responsible for the management of the fishing grounds set up by the sea wolves in the future, and when they are fishing, they will also manage the fishing grounds set by them, supervise other fishermen operating in the fishing grounds, and collect 20% of the catch from them every day as a fishing tax, and every year, they can bring back a large amount of fish for the sea wolves to eat, and a part of the surplus can be used for sale.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the fishing team also has the work of fishery administration and fishery protection, and it can be regarded as a lightly armed fleet, and if necessary, they can also cooperate with the main fleet and participate in some military operations.

More importantly, this fishing team is also the reserve of the Seawolf Navy and the main source of sailors, because the training of sailors is not like infantry, just catch a young man, lock them in the training camp, and they can be baked in as little as three months, even if they can't reach the level of a fierce soldier, at least they are already a relatively qualified soldier.

The training of sailors, in this era of sailing, is much longer than the infantry, so the sea wolf's sailors are mainly fishermen, these people live on the beach all year round, and follow their parents and ancestors to fish in the sea for many years.

Therefore, the replenishment of sailors is much narrower than that of infantry, and the training time is much longer, which is also the most difficult thing to build an invincible armada.

Therefore, in non-war times, fishing teams often have to recruit some fishermen to supplement the fishing boats, and these people can be quickly replenished to the warships after semi-regular training, and once the sea wolves are in need, they only need a short time to change training in the sailor recruit camp.

So the fishing team, which is also a reserve of sailors of the sea wolf to some extent, can be regarded as a reserve.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian awarded Lutong the rank of captain, which was the same level as the detachment leader in the fleet, and the captains of the fishing boats in the fishing team, especially some of the captains of the larger whaling ships, were also awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the navy, but in front of their ranks, a reserve was added, and their ranks were less valuable than the officers in the regular fleet.

The original merchant fleet remains unchanged, it is still a merchant fleet, which is considered a navy in terms of establishment, but in terms of management, it is still under the management of the council.

After removing the logistics department, the council hall is basically a militarized large group company, the main job is to do business, and the merchant fleet is the most important way to make profits in their hands, specifically responsible for the whole world and the north of the world, to make money for the sea wolf, and also undertake the work of bulk cargo transportation of the sea wolf.

However, the members of the merchant fleet are still temporarily subordinate to the naval sequence, and the captains are all awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and the head of the fleet is now a person named Lin Baojiang who is in charge of management, this person is a former subordinate of Liu Yidao, who came with Liu Yidao.

This man used to be a small maritime merchant, there was a merchant ship, and he went back and forth with Manila on land, and made a small fortune, but then he went to sea once, was robbed by pirates, the ship was also lost, the goods were gone, and the property was ruined, and the creditors chased him every day to ask for accounts, and was arrested and beaten by the government.

Later, he really had no choice, so he had to go to the sea as a thief, and he also took his son with him, defected to Liu Yidao, and later followed Liu Yidao to Yu Xiaotian.

This person has been a pirate, but also a maritime merchant, and has a lot of seafaring experience, and was later selected to manage a small merchant fleet, Yu Xiaotian found that this person was shrewd and capable, so he handed over the entire merchant fleet to him to take care of, and also awarded him the rank of captain, but like the fishing team, it belongs to the reserve, because the merchant fleet also has the nature of a reserve, and the sailors and crews can be transferred to the war fleet at any time.

In addition to these, Seawolf also has a full-time sailor training camp, which is also stationed in Tamsui City, and has several training boats, which train recruits for Seawolf's sailors all year round, and is also responsible for training mid-level officers such as captains and first officers.

In addition to the naval training camp, it will also be responsible for the recruitment of sailors for the Navy in the future, and the shipyard will also be assigned to the Navy Training Office, including the logistics office under the original council hall, and it will also be separated from the Navy Logistics Office, which will be temporarily managed by the Training Office.
