"Sir, will the caravan heading to Siam continue to go out to sea?" Su Langqing was stunned.

"That's natural. The last time the East India Company's merchant fleet was responsible for transporting grain, and this time the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the responsibility." Liu Yu said.

"The adults went to Siam from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to buy grain, and it was okay to transport grain, but I don't understand why the adults still have to buy grain everywhere?" Not only Su Langqing, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce were very puzzled by Liu Yu's actions.

"Haha, Su Langqing, you just need to do it." Liu Yu smiled.

Although he was very puzzled by Liu Yu's actions, Su Langqing did not continue to ask questions.

"That master, how much does the 200,000 stone of rice transported from Siam this time need to be transported to Dayu Island." Su Langqing asked.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce will send fleets to Dayu Island to transport grain every month. Now the rice from Siam is transported to Lavag, and Minghai will naturally transport a batch to Dayu Island.

"No, there is no need to transport it to Dayu Island again." Liu Yu shook his head.

"Now, 150,000 stones of rice, sweet potatoes, and 800 barrels of dried fish, whale meat on Dayu Island, which is enough for tens of thousands of troops to eat for more than a year. Now Minghai sends a merchant fleet to Jiading, Annan, and transports 30,000 stones of grain and grass first. If Minghai's ships are not enough, they will be recruited from the far sea."

"Dongpu." Su Langqing looked at Liu Yu with surprise.

"Sir, Minghai sent 18 grain transport ships to Dongpu several months ago with the Ming Navy. Could it be that it is not enough for the two thousand Ming military?" Su Langqing said in confusion.

He is now increasingly unable to understand Liu Yu’s thoughts.

First, he purchased grain from all over the Southeast Asian region on a large scale, and then he stocked up grain and grass in places such as Dayu away from Luzon Island.

Now we have to transport grain to Dongpu. The key is whether more than 2,000 Ming soldiers need so much food and grass?

"If the Governor does this, the Governor must have the consideration of the Governor." Uda said.

"The villain is talking too much." Su Langqing said in fear.

"It's okay. Minghai is the leader of the world, and his contribution to the Ming court these days is obvious. The 30,000 stones of grain and grass were prepared for the Ming people in Dongpu." Liu Yu comforted Su Langqing and said.

Then he went to prepare immediately. Su Langqing looked at Wuda with an unhappy look, very dissatisfied with the local bureaucrat.

"I have thanked you on behalf of Dongpu Mingren." Chen Ande looked at Liu Yu very gratefully.

It has been more than two months since the Ming Navy must have fought with the foreign army. At that time, Dongpu will be subject to war and the robbery of foreign soldiers will inevitably lead to hunger people.

Liu Yu transported grain to Dongpu to save the lives of the Ming people in Dongpu.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not just to help Mingren Dongpu!"

"Not bad." Faced with Chen Ande's inquiry, Liu Yu did not hide it, but walked straight to the chart on the far left side of the hall and looked at Nanyang on the chart in detail.

"It is indeed difficult to resist the Qing court based on Luzon alone, so the Lord now plans to occupy the Shuizhenla area such as Dongpu to enhance the strength of the Ming court." Chen Andde said.

"Yes, this is also the reason why I sent troops to Dongpu." Liu Yu nodded.

"The purpose is to conquer the Jiading place."

"Since the Tartars entered the pass, a large number of Ming people fled to Annan, Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others recruited Han people to reclaim wasteland and set up villages in the Jiading area. Tens of thousands of Han people have gathered. The Ming court took back Jiading, which is also a good thing for the Ming people in Annan." Chen Ande nodded.

"But lord mobilizes so many people, I'm afraid it's not just for Jiading." Chen Ande smiled.

"Annan is close to Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiongzhou. The Qing navy in the nearby waters is weak and pirates are prevalent. If Jiading is used as a base to hoard troops to capture Qiongzhou, and then Qiongzhou station troops to send troops to Guangdong, Guangxi will have a better chance of winning." Liu Yu said.

After hearing this, Chen Ande was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu actually turned his eyes to Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou Prefecture is located in the Haizhou, with a width of 900 miles from east to west, a width of 1,140 miles from north to south, and a width of more than 3,000 miles.

The main reason is that the Qing court has weak defense force here. In addition, Hainan Island is adjacent to Guangdong and Guangxi. If Hainan Island is occupied, then Hainan Island can directly raid wealthy coastal areas such as Guangdong, and retreat can also deal with the Qing army with Hainan Island. In addition, the Ming army sent troops to Dongpu, and would occupy the Jiading area soon. With the manpower and material resources in Jiading, it can also rush to assist the Ming Navy who crossed the sea to fight. Therefore, Liu Yu and Xiao Wu planned for several days and decided to send troops to Dongpu, occupy Dongpu, Meidi and other Jiading areas, and then seek Qiongzhou.

This is also why the Ming court mobilized so many troops to send troops to Dongpu, and actually dispatched the navy troops in the two towns. The purpose is naturally not as simple as rushing to support the Ming people in Dongpu.

Haikou,

After the Ming army's Fubo Town Navy recruited the Meidi Ming people, they did not stay on the coast of Dongpu for a long time, but went to Haikou to meet with Navy Town.

"Haha, I didn't expect that even Dongpu was recruited by my Ming court." Xiao Wu laughed uncontrollably on the Navy's Fu boat.

Now, the lands of Zhenla such as Dongpu and Meidi have fallen into the hands of the Ming people, which makes Xiao Wu ecstatic.

"Sir, Dongpu has just encountered war and the foreign bandits are rampant. We should first quell the Dongpu thieves, and then set up county clubs in Meidi in Dongpu, opening a harbor, and introducing Nanyang merchants to carry out maritime trade." On the Fu boat, Li Du looked at Xiao Wu with some displeasure and advised.

"Yes, sir, now Dongpu has just encountered war, so we must not launch a large number of troops." Wang Shi, the general of Pinghaiying Town, who followed Du Li, heard that Xiao Wu actually wanted to gather the Ming army from both places to send troops to capture Chaiban.

This made Li Du, Wang An and others furious.

Now, what Dongpu needs is rest and recuperation.

During this period, Li Du ordered Wang Tong to lead the Hu Ben soldiers to suppress the bandits and thieves in Dongpu, which was effective. Now the people of Dongpu have returned to their respective villages and communities, and Dongpu has gradually restored its former order.

Although Chen Shangchuan and others tried their best to restore production in Dongpu during these days, the deaths of nearly 2,000 people and the damaged rice fields, and the township houses cannot be compensated and recovered in just a short time.

This time, Wang Shi was asked to follow Du Li to Meidi, hoping that Yang Yandi and Xiao Wu could give Dongpu some food, grass and agricultural tools.
