Chapter 334 The Ming Dynasty

Shortly after the merchant fleet arrived at Lavag Harbor on the far sea, a fleet of Nanyang merchants also arrived at Lavag in batches.

While the four seas were moving Han people to Luzon in full swing, the Ming court also greeted merchants from all over the Southeast Asian country.

Assist the Ming court in transporting grain and relocation.

As the war between the East India Company and the Wolmore Empire was in full swing.

These idle merchants from Nanyang agreed happily.

During the Ming Dynasty of Luzon, maritime transportation power developed relatively slowly.

It was not because the Ming court lacked shipyards and workers, but that all shipyards were busy building naval warships.

There is not much energy to build additional civilian merchant ships.

Therefore, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce had to order eight large Garen ships for far-sea from Florence merchants.

The red-haired ghost, who thought it was profitable, sold the second-hand Galen sailboats to merchants all over the world, making a fortune.

In response to this, the merchants in the four seas clenched their teeth and could only swallow them.

Who said that the Luzon Ming court lacked everything at this time?

There are a total of four merchant ships heading to Lavague this time.

Two of them were loaded with cane sugar, which was the first wave of cane sugar produced by the long-sea merchants after purchasing a plantation in Batavia.

Due to the emergency of the war, most of the merchant ships of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce were forcibly requisitioned by the Ming court.

Some will be sold in the three counties of Luzon, and some will be sold secretly to Manila.

The extra part will be sent to Qiongdao by the Yuanhai Chamber of Commerce, and will be shipped to Annan in batches by land and sea, and sold in Guangdong and Guangxi.

The other two merchant ships were loaded with newly produced firearms from the Ming court.

It includes 150 grenade guns, 200 Western swords and 200 spears, as well as more than fifty barrels of gunpowder, 2,000 kilograms of copper material, and 5,000 kilograms of cooked iron.

During this period, Mingting has been increasing the production of firearms

To a large extent, it is to prevent the game with various forces in Southeast Asia.

After all, the Spaniards in Manila are now a little ready to move.

If reinforcements from local Spanish arrival in Manila in the future.

Then the Ming court will inevitably fight the Spaniards in the central and southern Luzon Island.

This time, the merchant fleet arrived at the Port of Lavag was particularly large, with 16 merchant ships.

Even Uda, who manages Lavag Port, was shocked by this huge merchant fleet.

"Long time no see, my friend." Anderson walked towards Uda with joy as soon as he stepped onto the land of Lavag Harbour.

This time, Anderson, as the plenipotentiary representative sent by the Ming court to East India, left for nearly half a year.

"God, how much cargo have you brought?" Uda looked at the huge fleet at the port with shock.

You know, there have not been so many Western ships arriving at the same time since the establishment of the port of Lavague?

"Nothing, it's something that the Governor urgently needs." Anderson smiled.

Soon, a group of Ming soldiers appeared neatly on the dock.

Looking at these Ming soldiers holding muskets and long swords on their waists.

Wuda's face changed, and even the Ming army officers and soldiers from Huben Town came.

I remember the last time the Ming army officers and soldiers arrived at the wharf was to escort the thousands of Qing army prisoners of war.

"In less than half a month, the Ming army blocked the Lavag Port twice. How can you tell me, the chief clerk of the port, explain to the merchants?" Wuda looked at the chief banner officer of the Huben Zhongzhen in front of him with a resentful look on his face.

The chief flag officer clasped his fists with a smile on his face and apologized, "Sorry, Lord Wu, I'm ordered to act."

Although Wuda is a foreigner, he is a popular man around the governor. He is a general flag official, so he dare not be arrogant in front of Wuda.

Soon, batches of brown-skinned people were driven to the dock by Nanyang sailors on merchant ships.

They wore all kinds of clothing, including military uniforms, sailor uniforms, and even the clothes of ordinary people.

Uda took a breath of air conditioning.

No wonder the Ming army blocked the entire port.

"Don't underestimate these soldiers and sailors." Anderson pointed to the thin and bloodless Wolmore man on the side.

"These are all pirates from all over the Southeast Asian region that we captured in the battle."

"These soldiers are experienced and most of them are proficient in using muskets. The cannoners can even proficiently control falcon cannons. I spent a lot of time in Fubo Town and entrusted a lot of connections to get these prisoners of war."

"These sailors have rich experience in sailing at sea, and many of them volunteered to come to Luzon."

After hearing this, Wuda suddenly realized.

Since the establishment of a county in Dongning, the number of farmer farmers in Luzon has increased significantly, but the demand for farmers is not very urgent.

On the contrary, those handicraftsmen and sailors with their own skills have always been urgently needed by harbor cities such as Lavag and Vigan.

Among these Wormore people, Uda actually saw about fifty or sixty red-haired ghosts.

"I have recruited Lavag by me." Anderson said with a proud look when he saw this.

"It seems that you really regard Luzon as your home." Uda sighed.

"Of course, we are all from the Ming Dynasty, aren't we?" Anderson said with a natural look.

At this time, the Ming army began to skillfully count the people on the dock, and the officers and gunners among them would be taken away directly by the Ming army officers and soldiers.

Handicraftsmen, sailors, etc. will be handed over directly to the local government of Lavague.

Of course, these people naturally need to be isolated in the suburbs of Lavague for half a month, during which clothes will be burned, liquor disinfected, etc.

The Governor has done quite well in preventing the epidemic on Luzon.
