Chapter 207 Helpless

At this time, Anderson also led the Ming court officials and merchants from all over the world into the hall.

Xiao Wu's face suddenly became dark when he saw Sir Gore.

"Sir Gore, this time, letting Nanyang Company set up a shopping mall in Luzon to be responsible for the trade between the Ming court and the Nanyang Company, which is enough to prove that the Ming court is willing to engage in friendly trade with the Nanyang Company. Then, the Nanyang Company should also solve the problem of artillery and warships that you should have delivered last month!" Xiao Wu looked at Gore with a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Bin, who was standing beside him, quickly acted as a translator and translated Xiao Wu's words to Sir Gore intact.

Sir Gore looked puzzled and shook his head, "The war between us and the Mughal Empire has begun. Please forgive us for breach of contract. After the Nanyang Company defeated the Mughal Emperor, we will send artillery and warships to Luzon."

Liu Yu just smiled at this, and he naturally knew that Nanyang Company could not win this battle.

Liu Yu was not interested in who could win the war between the Nanyang Company and the Mughal Empire, nor could he influence the direction of the war.

However, Nanyang Company lost this war, and it is estimated that the artillery and warships that should have been delivered to the Ming army would probably be wasted.

"You know that these red-clothed artillery were originally prepared for the Ming army's navy. There were many pirates in the Luzon waters. If the merchants of the Nanyang Company seized the Ming army's artillery and failed to fight against the pirates, and the security of Luzon's traditional sea routes could not be protected, the merchant ships of the Nanyang Company would be robbed by pirates." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Are you threatening?" Sir Gore's face suddenly sank, and his sinister eyes stared at Xiao Wu.

In Luzon, even the three-year-old child knew that the pirates had been wiped out by the Ming Navy.

But now I am talking about pirates. Isn’t this saying that if Nanyang does not hand over these firearms again, the Ming army will not guarantee the safety of Nanyang merchant ships on the Luzon channel?

Of course, the merchant ships of the Nanyang Company are naturally not afraid of mere pirates.

But I can't guarantee that there will be a group of "pirates" who look like Han people and carry excellent firearms on the Luzon Sea Channel in the future.

If that were the case, the Nanyang Company's armed merchant fleet would not be able to bear it.

"Sir, when the war is over, we will immediately send artillery and warships." Sir Gore was finally convinced. The situation is serious. The war with the Mughal Empire is devouring a lot of money and blood of the Nanyang Company every day. They urgently need to open up new markets.

Establishing a shopping mall in Luzon means that Nanyang companies can open up Luzon's market.

Luzon was regarded as a back garden by the Spaniards and could not enter any Western forces. Now it has finally opened the door to Luzon. If the Ming people closed the mall in anger because of this incident, they would really cry without tears.

"Since you breached the contract first and did not deliver the artillery to the Luzon Ming army on time, we don't have to pay the remaining 200,000 taels of silver, right?" Xu Bin smiled and hurriedly said.

Gore almost vomited an old blood when he heard this.

"Considering that your company is going to war with the Mughal Empire, and our Ming people have always been kind, it is better to reduce the rent of the Nanyang Merchant House and the Nanyang Merchants from the trade tariffs in Luzon." Liu Yu, who was standing by, was just watching the show, and he hurriedly said.

Sir Gore thought about it and said that this was better than the Ming people who were lying to pay, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I hope your company's five queen ships and red cannons can be delivered to Luzon as soon as possible." Xiao Wu and Liu Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Anderson stood there embarrassedly. He wanted to help Sir Gore, but he couldn't say anything. After all, this time it was indeed Nanyang Company that violated the contract first.

Meidi,

Just when the Ming court celebrated the opening of a shopping mall in Lavague.

In Meidi City, Yang Yandi was looking at the map in front of him with a sad face.

"Oh, Huang Jin, how could you leave the Luzon caravan because of the sneak attack from a mere foreign army?" Yang Yandi pointed at Huang Jin and said in pain.

Huang Jin quickly knelt down and defended: "General, it's not that we are greedy for life and fear of death, but that Dongpu suddenly encountered such a disaster. The general wanted to return to Meidi immediately to inform the general so that the Meidi Ming army could take precautions. But who knew that those Luzon Chinese merchants insisted on going to Dongpu. For the sake of the Midi thousands of Ming people, the Mogui had to return."

"General, you can spare Huang Jin's life! After all, he is also for Mei Di Mingren." Several generals pleaded for Huang Jin.

"If it's an ordinary caravan, that's fine, but it was sent by the Luzon Ming court to contact us. If it was really intercepted by foreigners halfway, how should we face the Luzon Ming court?" Yang Yandi shook his head and said with a sad face.

"Sir, don't let the last general lead an elite soldier to Dongpu to investigate, first, we can inquire about the whereabouts of the Chinese merchants, and second, we can inquire about the facts and reality of the people in Dongpu." Yang Yong said.

"The mountain roads that are heading to Dongpu are mostly destroyed by Nihong. How should you go to Dongpu?" Huang Jin snorted coldly.

He hoped that all these Chinese businessmen would die in Dongpu.

In order to escort these Chinese merchants, he lost more than a dozen servants in succession and also took over soldiers from the Several Associations, and was already furious.

"The foreigners have arrived at the city of Nainong. Now Brother Chen is guarding Nainong to the death. It is probably a disaster to face thousands of Zhenla foreign soldiers!" On the map, Yang Yandi pointed at the location of Nainong City.

"Sir, otherwise we will send envoys to Guangnan and ask Lord Ruan to send troops to rescue the Ming people in Dongpu." A general said.

Several generals nodded one after another, saying that this was no better than letting themselves send troops to Dongpu to fight with the Zhenla soldiers.

They went south to Zhenla because Lord Ruan agreed. Now that the Ming people are in trouble, they naturally have to help.

"Everyone, don't you know that the Ming people from Dongpu contacted the Ming court of Luzon, which angered Lord Ruan of Guangnan, and attracted the siege of Zhenla foreign soldiers." Yang Yandi looked at these big and thick men and was furious.

Is Chen Shangchuan, who has been delaying sending troops to help Dongpu, really because the road is muddy and it is difficult for the soldiers to march?

He just didn't want to anger Guangnan.

"Sir, it's Ming from Dongpu. What's the matter with us that Master Ruan of Guangnan?" Huang Jin saw Yang Yandi's hesitation and said hurriedly.

"We are all wise people, and you shouldn't understand the truth that the lips and teeth are dead." Yang Yandi glared at Huang Jin, who immediately shut up.

"Sir, harvest is coming soon this summer, and our army is in a hoarding system. It is a soldier in the slack farming period and a farming period. If we rashly send troops to Dongpu, what should the rice in the rice fields be like?" A general in charge said worriedly.
