Chapter 264 General
"How can I know what the Governor General thinks?" Wang Tong said with a smile.
Talu also smiled embarrassedly, and his eyes kept looking at the city defense of Rawag City.
This made him even more frightened.
There are bronze cannons piled up on the huge city wall.
On the nearby hills, the Ming army's artillery battalions and sea defense artillery were also arranged.
When the Ming army attacked Ravag City and expelled the Spaniards, Talu led the Tagalu people to the front.
Therefore, I was deeply impressed by the artillery of the Spanish defending the city.
But now the city of Lavague, which Talu saw, is more than several times more firearms than the Spanish occupied the past. From time to time, a team of Ming soldiers shuttled past the official road.
Not to mention his fortune, the original absurdity on the faces of the several generals behind him also disappeared, looking at Lavag City with a solemn expression.
There is no firearm troops in Xiaoyong Town, but it does not mean that these people have never seen Ming munitions.
It is said that what the Luzonians feared was not the Ming muskets but the cannons.
In Mingcheng, when the King of Divine Town was fighting with Tubang people who were not obedient to the rule of the Ming court, whenever the Ming army cannons fired, Tubang soldiers would flee in panic.
The fragile bamboo village, the bamboo building was smashed to pieces under the Ming army artillery.
"General, the Governor allowed the general to enter the city." A general guarding the city walked forward and spoke.
"All the soldiers in the town of Huang Yong Town were stationed in the suburbs of Huben Zuo Town." The general guarding the city added.
"What does it mean?" A general looked at the city defending general in front of him with a bad expression.
"You go to the barracks of Huben Zuo Town immediately." Talu turned around and glared at the foreign general. He used the foreign language, so the Ming generals present did not understand.
"Look at the tent of Xiaoyong Town first, let me manage everything." Wang Tong said with a smile.
"Then please, General." Talu hurriedly followed the Iron Man Army soldiers who rushed to the gate of the city to the Governor's Mansion.
There is naturally a distance from the city gate to the Governor's Mansion. Sitting in the carriage, Talu glanced at the street outside from time to time.
It has to be said that the streets of Lavague are much more prosperous and luxurious than the shabby shopping streets of Mingcheng.
The woods on both sides of the street are covered with sunlight, and vendors are shouting hawking in the dark corners.
Outside Shulin Road are rows of restaurants and shops.
All kinds of people were passing by, including Chinese merchants wearing gorgeous clothes and silk, foreign merchants with high noses and red hair, and more were local civilians with different clothes.
Occasionally, there were teams of Ming soldiers wearing armor, holding muskets, and wearing guns and swords, patrolling past one side of the street.
"Sir, you have arrived at the Governor's Office." said an officer.
"Okay, okay."
At this time, Talu was already shocked and couldn't speak, so he hurriedly said.
The Governor's Mansion is naturally familiar with it. After all, it is the residence of the consul Lavague and was occupied by Liu Yu.
When the Ming army attacked Ravag City, they used the power of pirate mercenaries to attack the Spanish in the city.
The pirate mercenaries also destroyed the buildings and houses in the city.
Therefore, Lavague also experienced reconstruction for more than half a year.
Of course, during the reconstruction period, the Ming court also seized large tracts of land that originally belonged to the rich merchants in the city.
Wuda also suggested that Liu Yuzhong establish a prosperous governor's office.
However, Liu Yu refused on the grounds that he was exhausted by the people. After all, Liu Yu was not very happy with merit. He was a practical school, and it was enough to use the mansion or something.
"I will bow to the Governor." Ta Lu was in the official hall, and as soon as he saw Liu Yu, he quickly knelt down and saluted.
In fact, in the Ming court, Liu Yu had already abolished the kneeling ceremony.
Whether it is a Ming army soldier or a businessman, he does not need to kneel down when he meets officials.
Liu Yu, who has a modern soul, naturally hates this set of etiquette of the monarch and minister.
Therefore, Liu Yu deliberately used the Western etiquette of Western etiquette to reject the ritual of the king and his subjects to kneel down.
This was basically passed unanimously in the Ming court.
The Ming army's generals didn't know a single word on a big word on the daily basis, so how could they know what etiquette of the monarch and ministers mean?
As for the Chinese businessmen in Luzon, after dealing with the Spanish for a long time, they naturally accepted the foreigners' tricks.
As for civil officials, sorry, Liu Yu really couldn't see that the indigenous officials of Lavag like Uda could understand what Confucianism is.
"General Ta Lu, please get up quickly." Liu Yu hurriedly walked up to help Ta Lu up.
"The last time I left Lavag, I haven't seen each other for more than a year," Liu Yu said.
"Reply to the Governor General's words, two years and three months." Talu said seriously.
Liu Yu patted Talu on the shoulder, "Drag Xiaoyong Town from the border Mingcheng to the Lavag Royal City. Along the way, will the soldiers complain?"
"The Governor ordered the troops stationed in the Rawag Royal City to enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers of Huben Town. All the officers and soldiers of my brave town cheered and even the marching speed was much faster than usual." Talu said hurriedly.
"So good." Liu Yu nodded.
"I have ordered people to prepare mansions for you and several generals of Fan Town in Lavag City, and bought a manor for the general in the suburbs. I also asked the general to accept it with a smile." Liu Yu said softly.
When Talu heard this, he couldn't help but look happy and quickly knelt down and thanked him, "I thanked the Governor for his kindness."
Not to mention being moved, that is fake.
In the areas of Weigan and Mingcheng, Liu Quan has always been known for his strict military management.
Whether it was the Ming army generals or the foreign generals, they could hardly get any money.
Therefore, the Ming army officers and soldiers on the border want to live a good life all rely on military merits.
Talu is naturally not short of money, but he is not as rich as those rich businessmen in the world.
Not to mention the generals of Fan Town under his jurisdiction.
"I heard from my uncle that General Helu knew soldiers and was good at fighting. He expanded the territory for the Ming Dynasty in the south and recruited many local chiefs. He heard that the general was injured by swords and arrows and injured more than ten places." Liu Yu said.
"This is the matter of the last general. Fight for the Ming court. It is not worth mercy to die." Ta Lu said with his fist.
"I named you the general of Mingcheng, and all the local states belonging to Mingcheng to Banggui are under your jurisdiction, how about it?" Liu Yu said with a smile.
When Talu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you Governor."
Of course, most of the towns in the Tumen from Mingcheng to Banggui at this time were actually within the purview of the Spanish. During the initial truce, Manila had a truce with Banggui to Mingcheng as the boundary.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yu thought about it and instead of losing a large number of Ming soldiers to the southern expedition and attacking Tufan Chiefs, he would rather give Talu a position as general and let him manage the southern territory.
Weigan also has his uncle Liu Quan guarding him, and Liu Quan is shocked. I believe that other people will not have any unfair intentions.
"I heard that the Ming court was going to fight against the Qing Dynasty in the north, and our brave soldiers in the town were willing to be the vanguard and recover the mountains and rivers of our hometown for the Ming Dynasty."
Ta Lu is not a fool either. Liu Yuxu gave him so many benefits, so he naturally knew what he wanted to do.
"Haha, okay, okay." Liu Yu said with a smile.
