Chapter 286 Northern Expedition

This time, Su Langqing was sent to Guangnan for trading, and Liu Yu had great expectations.

After all, attacking Qiongzhou is a very important part.

If the Ming court's rule in Jiading could be obtained from Guangnan's acquiescence, then the logistics of the Ming court's army could be completely under the responsibility of Jiading, and there would be no need for the Ming court to transport troops and food from Luzon Island to transport all the troops and food.

After all, Luzon is too far from Qiongzhou.

"Governor, now the commercial trade between the Ming court and the Nanyang Company is becoming more and more prosperous. Sir Child is even willing to let the Ming court open a shopping mall in Madras. If the Ming Dynasty can provide some assistance to the Nanyang Company, then the commercial trade of the Ming Dynasty can also enter Wolmore." Uda advised.

Liu Yu raised his head, looked at Wuda, and said coldly: "What do these red-haired ghosts want."

"Five warships and 300 fully armed Ming soldiers."

"At the same time, Nanyang Company hopes to borrow 50,000 silver dollars." Wuda said.

"Tell the employees of the Nanyang Company in Nanyang Shopping Mall that the Ming Dynasty only engages in commercial trade with the Nanyang Company and does not participate in wars. If they need food, artillery can be purchased from the Ming Dynasty. As for sending troops to fight for the Nanyang Company, the Ming court has no interest." Liu Yu flatly refused.

Uda's face looked a little ugly, "Sir, our Ming court has hoped to establish a shopping mall in Madras several times so that the Ming court can enter India. Now Sir Child is willing to trade with the Ming court. He only needs the Ming court to send five warships and three hundred soldiers. For the Ming court, this battle is sure to make a profit."

"Wuda, the Ming court does not need to intervene in a war that will definitely fail, not to mention that the Ming court still needs to prepare more manpower and material resources to attack Qiongzhou." Liu Yu shook his head.

Liu Yu naturally didn't believe Sir Child's nonsense. Although he does have unparalleled strength in Nanyang and Nanyang Company at present, the Ming court did not need to work hard for Nanyang Company at all.

Today, the craftsmen of the Lavag Firearms Department worked overtime, and produced thirty ten-pound tiger cannons and twenty twelve-pound cannons for the Ming army during these days. The latest 20-pound tiger heavy cannons is also being tested for overtime.

Lavague Shipyard delivered two Tiger warships and five Fu ships to Fuyang Zuo Town, and Vigan Shipyard also delivered ten large bird ships.

The fleet organization of the Ming army's left and right towns, Fuyang and left and right towns, was basically formed, and its combat power was no less than that of Fuyang Qian Town.

With this elite navy, the Ming court did not have to be afraid of the Spanish navy in Manila City.

A few days later, the Minghai fleet led by Su Langqing finally returned to Lavag Harbor.

After hearing the news of the fleet's return, Liu Yu was overjoyed and hurried to Lavag Port to greet him in person.

"Brother Su, I haven't seen you for several months. Don't be fine. Is this trip to Guangnan good?" Liu Yu smiled and walked up to hold Su Langqing's hand.

"With the love of the wise ruler, the navy of Fuyangqian Town was escorted all the way, and there were no dangers along the way." Su Langqing said hurriedly.

"Now Lord Ruan of Guangnan is willing to make peace with our Ming court and engage in business."

Along the way, Su Langqing told Liu Yu in detail what he saw and heard in Guangnan during this trip.

"Master Ruan is old and afraid that there will be no more time. His prince has extraordinary strategies and is willing to be in harmony with our Ming court. If the Ming court helps, he can protect Jiading for ten years without worries." Su Langqing said.

During the Guangnan party, Chinese businessmen also thanks to the protection of Nguyen Phuc, they were able to travel smoothly in Guangnan and finally met Lord Nguyen.

"When I returned to Luzon from Guangnan, I received news that the Ming army in Jiading had begun to actively prepare for war, and I believe that I could conquer Qiongzhou soon." Xiao Wu said to Liu Yu.

"How many merchant ships are there in Minghai on Luzon Island?" Liu Yu asked.

"Sir Hui, I, Minghai, have 23 ocean-going merchant ships in Luzon, and 16 other ocean-going regions in Jiading and other Southeast Asian regions." Su Langqing told the truth.

"This time, since the Ming court has already started trading with Guangnan, Xiao Wu must have been ready to send troops to attack Qiongzhou."

"The six towns in Yufan gathered more than 3,000 troops and went to Jiading a month ago. Now the Ming army urgently needs a large amount of food, firearms, gunpowder and medicine iron. Minghai merchant ships are responsible for transporting them. Minghai must remember his responsibilities." Liu Yu reminded.

"I understand." Su Langqing nodded.

Jiading, Haikou

As a tributary of the Jiulong River, the Meidi River flows from above and flows down the entire Meidi into the sea estuary.

Although the rainy season has not yet arrived, the surging river of the Meidi River is still surging, with waves rising and falling.

Warships flying the Ming Navy's battle flags are anchored near the Haikou.

In the nearby military camp, hundreds of Ming soldiers were gathering in the camp, with their faces solemn.

Xiao Wu was wearing a armor and stared at the Ming army officers and soldiers in front of him.

The flag was rumbling under the strong wind, and the Ming soldiers were silent and staring at the generals ahead.

"Dear soldiers, we have been in the southern expedition to Luzon in the 37th year of Yongli for four years."

"We all fought all the way from Luzon, defeated Folangji, defeated Zhenla, forced Guangnan, and advanced all the way, attacked Luzon and Jiading, hundreds of Ming soldiers sprinkled blood on the battlefield." Xiao Wu looked at the Ming army officers and soldiers in front of him, and many familiar faces had disappeared. For some reason, he actually felt an inexplicable pain.

He gritted his teeth, cheered up, and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

He Bin, who was standing beside him, handed a copy of the payment to Xiao Wu.

"Go north to Qiongzhou and rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!" He Bin, who was beside him shouted loudly when he saw this.

"Go to Qiongzhou north and fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore my Ming Dynasty."
