Chapter 138 Migrating the Han people
"Sir, the Private Office has a total of more than 470 Han people, all of whom are here." A deputy chief reported.
Gore frowned after looking at the men in ten rows.
"Sir, do you wise men want to colonize Luzon?"
"The Spanish could colonize in Luzon, and the Chinese could naturally reclaim wasteland in Luzon and make a living by fishing." Liu Yu did not hide it, and it was already showing his attitude to be able to bring Gore to this place.
"Sir, I want to turn Luzon into your colony." Gore's face was not very good, which was not good news for the Spanish and even the Western colonists in the Far East.
"Gor, to be honest, we Chinese and Chinese merchants were massacred by Spanish people several times in Luzon, and now the number of Han people in Luzon is only a few thousand. In addition, in the battle of Mingcheng, the Spanish slaughtered thousands of Han people. Today, the number of Han people in Luzon is not much greater than that of Spanish people." Liu Yu suppressed his anger and looked at the idle Han people in the open space and spoke.
"The Luzon court needed time, civilians, merchants, handicraftsmen, merchants should know how a piece of land should develop."
"Population." Liu Yuyu said earnestly.
"Compared with those disobedient natives in the foreign countries, their own tribesmen are indeed more obedient, especially on the land of foreign tribes." Gore sighed, his eyes constantly swept across the Han people on the venue.
"However, since Manila has already ceased to fight with the Ming court, you should not continue to migrate the Han people to Luzon." Gore's face was a little dissatisfied.
This is different from what he and Juan had expected at the time.
"Why, the agreement did not say that the Han people could not be moved to Luzon." Liu Yu sneered. He knew very well about the faces of these Western colonists.
"Luzon is not a land of the Spanish. I remember that this land used to belong to the Sulu Kingdom, and the Spanish and Chinese were latecomers."
"Since the Spanish could come to Luzon from the distant continent of Europa, why can't we Han people move to Luzon?"
Gore did not refute. He looked at the Ming soldiers wearing armor and holding muskets and wearing long swords on his waist. Gore already understood that Manila could not take back the land in northern Luzon.
Even the Spanish might even lose Luzon.
"I guess Juan is unable to sleep or eat in Manila now." Gore shook his head, feeling sad for Manila for some reason.
Liu Yu didn't care about the feelings of Western colonists such as Gore, and was listening to the officials' reports at this moment.
After listening to the officials' report, Liu Yu nodded and signaled to the assistant leaders to go down.
Not only is these two groups the bottom, but they are numerous.
A man who works in the farmland every day has naturally much higher physical fitness than a commoner in the market.
Fishermen who go out to sea to fish all year round are very good in water.
These two groups are most suitable for livable Luzon.
It is more suitable for the Luzon environment than the Han people in other regions.
Of course, Liu Yu would not let them farm, nor would he break up and join various towns.
Liu Yu directly organized a brand new auxiliary army town with more than 400 people.
The auxiliary assistant chief of Huben Town serves as the assistant chief, the squad leader serves as the vice chief, and the elite soldiers become the squad leader.
Establish a system of auxiliary soldiers and generals by drawing Huben Town Officers.
As for the deputy team, the deputy team will naturally be promoted from subsequent supervision and training.
In the Auxiliary Soldier Town, Liu Yu mainly wanted to use it as a reserve force.
When the officers and soldiers of Huben and other towns suffered too much loss, they directly selected elite troops from the auxiliary town to supplement the Huben town.
Therefore, the training intensity is not as strong as that of Huben Town, and the military pay and weapon configuration are far from meeting the Ming army's Lu Town standards.
Of course, Liu Yu would not really let Auxiliary Bing Town serve as the main force in the bloody battle. Auxiliary Bing Town is more used as the rear transportation supplies and the guards of the camp. When necessary, it will be used to replenish major towns such as Huben Town and restore vitality.
The task of training these Chaozhou recruits is naturally the responsibility of the veterans in Huben Town.
Liu Yu did not stop here, after all, the matter of supervising soldiers and other things can be left to the assistant chief of his subordinates to do.
Gore was obviously still immersed in the concerns of the Ming army's large-scale migration of Han people to Luzon.
Naturally, Liu Yu could not blame this Nanyang businessman for why he didn't have the same heart as him.
In fact, the help of Nanyang Company to the Ming army in these times has been a timely help.
As for how the Spanish colonists in Manila would react?
Liu Yu didn't bother to know that after all, the current Luzon Ming army is getting stronger day by day.
Weigan and Lavag's firearms department work overtime to produce muskets and gunpowder.
The iron shops scattered throughout the city forged weapons day and night.
Long swords, spears, vine shields, bows, and various equipment can even directly popularize the auxiliary soldiers in the new town.
This is also the capital for Liu Yu to fight against Manila.
With the existing three-town navy, it is not enough to fight against Shi Lang.
After Liu Yu and Gore walked out of the military camp, they walked straight to the near the shipyard.
The shipyard is not far from the wharf, and you can even vaguely see the bustling port trade of the wharf on the top of the city.
"I didn't expect that Lavag could be reborn so quickly after experiencing disaster." Looking at the large sailboats entering and leaving the port, Gore couldn't help but nod.
Did he know how important a harbor town can be traded?
Especially now that Luzon is divided into two by the Ming army and Manila.
However, Lavague is obviously unable to compare with Manila, which is the real core city in Nanyang.
Manila can even be said to be a large sailboat that never sinks.
It would be fake if Liu Yu didn't desire to get Manila City.
In fact, the Ming army generals were already ready to move.
Even Xiao Wu and Xu Bin and others had plans to attack Manila.
However, they were all flatly rejected by Liu Yu.
"Can Nanyang Company provide sailing boats and sailors for the Ming army?" Liu Yu suddenly asked.
Gore was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.
"We can sell artillery to you, which is the greatest sincerity."
"After all, we are merchants, not mercenaries."
Liu Yu could only smile when he said Gore, and he could unify the Indian state that had been chaotic for thousands of years into one country.
For such a company, you tell me that it is just a businessman.
"If possible, I hope you can provide us with some ships, silver is not a problem." Liu Yu said.
Gore naturally knew the difficulties of the Ming army now, and also knew that what Liu Yu urgently needed was the warship.
"We can export six armed merchant ships to you from the Nanyang Company, which will not be worse than the Spanish sailing ships." Gore looked at Liu Yu and continued.
"You can carry more than ten artillery pieces. Although you can't compete with the Spanish Navy, it should be enough to deal with the naval battles in the Far East."
Liu Yu agreed without thinking too much.
It's better to have it than not to come.
Liu Yu has always been generous in his arms.
This also satisfies Gore very much.
"When I return to Nanyang, I will select the six best armed merchant ships from the Nanyang merchant fleet."
