The formation of an ocean-going fleet is actually not a very difficult thing for the current Li Tianyang team, except for one thing, that is, the problem of fleet personnel.

Although the number of more than 4,000 men registered today is not a small number, it is really a big human resource problem for Bengang, which has to form a defense team and two ocean-going fleets.

The total population of more than 30,000 people in Bengang may not seem like a small number, but if you add the number of soldiers in Bengang Hongtang and the total number of members of Qixintang, the total number is 4,78.

Counting the number of defense forces that will be on the way, the scale of at least 1,000 or more will be enough to ensure the security of Bengang and its surroundings.

Of course, during the first census, I forgot to count the number of official members and their families in the camp in Bengang, and nearly 5,000 people lived in the camp and workshop. There are also the family members of the three or four thousand former Yuan Laoba pirates who lived far away on Hulu Island.

But even with the addition of these, the entire Bengang command is actually only 423,000 people, which is equivalent to eight or nine people to feed a warrior to eat, drink, and Lazar. Even if Bengang is friendly with the indigenous tribes and has a good net worth, he can hire some indigenous manpower to help take care of and plant the land, but it is a very serious problem for the normal ratio of men and women in the normal population after the camp, as well as the number of strong men required for the workshop and land.

Especially if they encounter any natural disasters and man-made disasters, or other strong enemies with ulterior motives, even if they lose half of the number of soldiers, it is impossible for Li Tianyang and them to replenish them.

This factor is actually one of the important reasons for everyone's uproar.

Of course, there are also people like Wu Daofu and Zhao Xingdou who have a deep sense of pirates, and they haven't been able to figure out for a while, why all of a sudden, their own family is going to engage in the maritime trade, which was previously regarded as meat in the bag and a meal on the plate!

However, since Li Tianyang had already made a decision in his heart, he naturally considered these issues clearly, coupled with his crooked reasoning and heresy that a dead person can say three points, as well as his frequent arbitrariness over the years, although everyone below hesitated, but in the end he still acquiesced.

In the previous battle with Yuan Laoba and his gang of pirates, in addition to the harvest of more than 20 warships, it was naturally indispensable to have other auxiliary sea vessels, including six or seven Dafu ships with more than 2,000 materials. In addition, in the past two years, the Hongtang pirates have plundered and eliminated the unruly maritime merchants and pirates, and the few large sea ships that have been preserved, the hardware equipment that the fleet originally needed does not need to be prepared by Li Tianyang and them.

It's just that many of these sea ships have some hidden dangers due to poor management, and they are being delivered to the camp to be overhauled.

It's just the most difficult thing to do, but it is the recruitment of capable sailors, after all, you can't do everything you can, and the camp was established to build a different new world, so where will Li Tianyang follow the old path of his predecessors, and start to be that poor soldier, fish and meat folks.

Therefore, the recruitment plan for the displaced people, which had been suspended for more than a year, was once again brought to the case by Li Tianyang, and a flying pigeon passed the letter, and Gan Dabiao, who was in Yuegang, went to help them handle this matter.

Now Bengang is not what it used to be, and it is no longer as poor as before, so in terms of recruitment, the treatment that can be given is naturally better. I believe that Gan Dabiao's recruitment in Yuegang will definitely be much smoother than before.

However, this time, the location for the resettlement of the displaced people has changed slightly, and it is no longer the Bengang camp, but the chicken coop harbor, which has just entered the early stage of development.

According to the plan with the builders, the construction of Huludao should have been completed before the year, but after all, Huludao is far away from the Bengang camp for two or three days. Therefore, under Wu Shu's strong request, the builders stayed on the island for nearly two months, and Haosheng planned other defensive measures for the island. It was not until the end of February that the construction and repair of Huludao was completely completed, and I rushed to the chicken coop port and hurriedly started the preliminary preparations for the development of the chicken coop.

Now, with the flying letter sent back by the construction masters led by Wan Liang, Li Tianyang and them can roughly understand the progress of Jilong Port.

Therefore, Li Tianyang decided to set up the location of the resettlement of the displaced people in the chicken coop port, in order to fill the already small manpower in the chicken coop port and recruit manpower for the future development and development of the chicken coop. Second, in addition to recruiting skilled sailors and settling their families, it can also allow these poor and white people who had just been recruited in the early stage to sell their labor and build chicken coops in exchange for a day's living rations before they reclaimed the land and fertile land to grow grain, instead of Li Tian raising them for free.

It's just that in this way, in the next year or two, I'm afraid that Li Tianyang's focus will be shifted from Bengang to the chicken coop, and even the expected two ocean-going fleets are stationed, Li Tianyang is also ready to place it in the chicken coop.

Having this idea is also Li Tianyang's decision after careful consideration.

First of all, although Bengang is no longer as closed to everyone as it was in the previous two years, there are actually only a few businessmen who are familiar with Qixintang who can really walk in Bengang. It is not easy for other outsiders to enter this rather mysterious Bengang camp.

In fact, whether it is Li Tianyang, Yumo or Wu Jie, they still attach great importance to the base camp of Bengang, for fear that those people with ulterior motives will sneak into the city and do something unfavorable.

Second, with the size of the wharf in Bengang, to be honest, it is not easy to accommodate more than two thousand large ships, let alone the two fleets that have at least six or seven large ships per fleet according to the scale. It is the chicken coop harbor that has not yet been developed, even if Wanliang and they have not had time to clean up the coast outside the port now, but the natural deep-water wharf is enough for Li Tianyang and their two fleets that have no shadow to dock here.

There is a third point, that is, Bengang, which is too close to the station of the Penghu Naval Division, which is a big hidden danger for Li Tianyang's two ocean-going fleets in the future.

Because to be honest, with Li Tianyang's current ability, it is simply impossible to get a voyage guide from the government that is only 100 per year. Therefore, according to the later generations, the two fleets that Li Tianyang was going to form, since they were not born, there was only one way to go, and that was smuggling!

Although Li Tianyang and them now have a good relationship with Penghu sailor Cao Yongyi, they can't commit crimes against the wind and take other sailors seriously! Not to mention, Cao Yongyi, this guy is not a really capable person, otherwise he would not have been assigned to Penghu, a place where birds don't, as a commander!
