Fortunately, the sea wolf has been implementing semi-militarized management in the control area, and each township and village has organized a militia, and each village has at least two militia squads, and a township must have at least one militia company, so the local guards, under normal circumstances, do not occupy the establishment of the regular army, and are handed over to these militias.

As for the armament of the militia, armor is not issued, only officers above the platoon commander are issued armor, and the rest are not issued armor, and the weapons are mainly cold weapons, a militia company is only armed with a platoon of retired South Japanese smoothbore guns, and the rest of the militia are mostly equipped with spears or knives as the main equipment, and are also equipped with some bows and arrows.

Therefore, at present, the army is only responsible for guarding more important places, or places that have not been occupied for a long time, and some other places are handed over to the local militia to be responsible for guarding, even if it is a militia, because of effective training, combat effectiveness is really not weak, and the militia in many places has fought with some bandits, and even chaotic soldiers, and they have shown a strong combat capability, and the Spanish phalanx tactics they use, when facing the enemy, they have a strong advantage.

At present, Yu Xiaotian does not dare to expand the army too much because of the problem of military spending, but once necessary, he can recruit some more militia members at any time, and can form effective combat effectiveness in a relatively short period of time.

In terms of weapons reserves, under the personal supervision of Xiaotian, the Seawolf military industry has been producing at full capacity over the years, not to mention the spear and single knife, the production process of these things is simple, and semi-mechanized production is adopted, although the product does not dare to say that it can be comparable to handmade boutiques, but in the big road goods, the quality is still quite good.

For example, the single knife, the Seawolf Arsenal uses semi-mechanized production, although it is not as good as the quality of the hand-forged by skilled craftsmen, but because the blade is made of Seawolf's own steel, the steel mouth is still quite good, and the most important thing is that the price is low, in addition to equipping the Seawolf's own army, it can also be sold.

Because of the good quality and low price, the cold weapons of the sea wolf are also very sought-after when they are sold in the market, and in addition to being a natural ranch on Jeju Island itself, Jeju Island itself also has a specialty, which is the island's specialty bow and arrow.

After being sent to Jeju Island, the Korean slaves of Jeju Island were hired by some bow merchants on the island to make bows and arrows, and there were many bows and arrows making workshops on the island, and the bows made were very sophisticated, and in addition to being sold to the Joseon Dynasty on land, they were also exported as goods.

Now that the sea wolf has taken control of Jeju Island, it has begun to expand this industry, integrating the workshops that make bows and arrows all over the island, producing them in large quantities, a small amount for the sea wolf's own militia or special purposes, and the rest are sold in large quantities to the Daming land.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is smoking everywhere, the official army, the chaotic army and there are many local armed forces and township warrior regiments, the demand for bows and arrows and various weapons is very large, so the bow and arrow in this era, as a kind of cold weapon for projectile, is also very popular, the profit is very high, and how much can be sold, in short supply.

Even the arquebus has been included in the list of export products, the arquebus produced by the sea wolf semi-mechanized, good quality, powerful, so it is also a very sought-after goods, although compared to the sea wolf's own use of the South Japanese rifle, the firing mechanism is simplified and there is a certain amount of cutting corners, but the quality is still greatly beyond the land craftsmen all hand-made those bird guns, although it is a monkey version, the range is not too far, but the accuracy is still good.

These arquebuses were also sold a lot, and the price of an arquebus was as high as twenty or thirty taels of silver, which really made the sea wolf make a lot of money.

Because over the years, Seawolf has built a large number of hydraulic factories and manufactured a large number of machinery, so that the production of ordnance industry has gradually entered a semi-mechanized production state, and the production efficiency has greatly exceeded that of manual production, and the output is increasing day by day, and now it can produce more than 200 wolf tooth rifles every day, and there are also 50 spare barrels.

With the continuous accumulation of experience in soil steelmaking, now those soil blast furnaces are constantly being improved, the production process is also constantly improving, and under the continuous accumulation of experience, the product quality is also steadily improving, the scrap rate is gradually decreasing, and the quality of steel is improving, so that the product quality of military factories can also be continuously improved.

Now the effective life of the wolf tooth rifle of the sea wolf, the barrel has been increased to the firing of 500 to 800 rounds of bullets, and the rifling will be bald, such a life is enough to meet the needs of the military.

Because of the improvement of steel quality, coupled with the improvement of the quenching process, the quality of the gun firing mechanism has also stabilized, especially the reed of the flintlock machine, which has been changed to semi-mechanized production, and the use of the pass and stop gauge has ensured the accuracy of the parts, so that the firing rate of the wolf's tooth rifle is also gradually improving.

As for artillery, it seems that no matter how much is produced, it is not enough, and now the artillery production has formed a serialization, with calibers ranging from one-pound cannons to forty-eight-pounder caron guns, and the product sequence is very complete, most of which are supplied to the navy and a small part are used by the army, making the firepower of the two armies of the sea wolf jump to the strongest state in the world.

In order to expand the army in the next step and participate in the land hegemony operation, although the number of artillery equipment and artillery is not large at present, the production of land artillery has never stopped over the years, and a large number of army guns have been sealed in the warehouse, among which the standard 12-pounder howitzer is the mainstay, and now there are at least 200 guns in storage.

In addition, a lot of lighter six-pounder infantry guns were also produced, which were temporarily stored as strategic reserves, and at least sixty or seventy of the 24-pounder siege guns used for attacking fortifications were also in reserve, and a large number of artillery could be armed at any time and put into land operations as long as necessary.

The ammunition factory has produced and stockpiled a large number of various types of ammunition, especially for the army, which has been strictly protected from moisture, and stored in the ammunition depot, which can be transferred and shipped out at any time.

So on the surface, the number of sea wolves' army is not very large, but in fact, the weapons and reserve troops in reserve are a huge number, and Yu Xiaotian can arm more soldiers and horses at any time and put them into battle.

Moreover, in view of the current situation of extremely increasing troops, Yu Xiaotian has carried out another reorganization of the army, setting up brigades above the battalion level, still adopting the five-five system, with a brigade under its jurisdiction five battalions, one of which is a baggage battalion, an artillery battalion, and three standard infantry battalions, and an additional scout company directly under the army and an engineer company, so that it can form a combat group with quite strong combat capability, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and can be completely used as one as ten on the battlefield.

In addition, in order to cope with large-scale land group operations in the future, Yu Xiaotian added a division-level combat establishment to the brigade-level establishment in advance, but after reaching this level, he no longer adopted the five-five system, but changed to three brigades as a division, and added a division siege heavy artillery company, a divisional engineer company, a divisional cavalry battalion, and a divisional baggage battalion, so that the total strength of a division basically reached more than 20,000 people, and it completely possessed a very strong offensive capability.

At present, he has organized the army at hand into 10 combat brigades, about half of which can be put into combat use at any time, and the rest will be divided into various places to be used as reserve forces, or be responsible for guarding some important places.

In other words, at present, he can put in the strength of one division in one aspect, and he is only satisfied with the strength of one division in one aspect, and in the next two years, he intends to increase such a force to two divisions, and he can put in the strength of one division in each of the two aspects to form an effective combat force.

After taking stock of his own family background, Yu Xiaotian now basically has a more sufficient certainty, when he is engaged in the land hegemony war in the future, relying on the navy and the army, supplemented by the navy, the army, he can occupy the coastal area in a very short period of time, especially the Jiangnan area, at present, as the most important financial source of the Ming Dynasty, once he occupies, it will completely destroy the economy of the Ming Dynasty, so that it will quickly enter the collapse, which is a vicious strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, It can almost be said that Da Ming's life will be killed in an instant.

With the gradual growth of Yu Xiaotian, in the ten years of Chongzhen, he has basically infiltrated his influence into various places in Fujian and Guangzhou, as if forming its underground forces, and even its power has eroded to Zhejiang and Jiangxi and other places, making the entire southern provinces, there is a strange appearance, that is, the local government decrees not to go out of the city, and to go out of the city will be resisted by other local forces.

Such a situation really began to arouse Chongzhen's worries, and by this time, Chongzhen had completely realized the huge threat to the Ming Dynasty from Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf group and Yu Jiajun.

The impeachment of Xiaotian by the local government flew to Beijing like snowflakes and put it on Chongzhen's dragon case, and Chongzhen really realized that Yu Xiaotian's plan may not be as simple as making a fortune.

Tong Guò sorted out the bullets and information sent to the Beijing division by all parties, and Chongzhen found that Yu Xiaotian's current power development was far beyond his imagination.

As long as Yu Xiaotian has the intention to rebel and backhand, these southern provinces may soon fall into the hands of Yu Xiaotian.

Such a conclusion made Chongzhen only feel a cool breath, rushing from the soles of his feet to his hair, and his whole body felt cold and cold.
