Chapter 346 Lavag Port

In just one year, more than 3,000 Chinese businessmen or people came to Luzon to live.

Most of them live in Lavague City.

This undoubtedly strengthened the city of Lavag and made it even more prosperous.

"Sir, the Flangjiman's fleet came to Lavag Harbor and wanted to see him." Uda walked over hurriedly and whispered a few words to Liu Yu.

"It's interesting. What's the matter? " Liu Yu shook his head and stood up.

Folangji people have already set up shops in Lavague and Vigan.

If you have any major issues, you can't negotiate with the officials in Beiting County, but instead come to find yourself.

"Sir, this time Sir Gore is here in person." Uda, who was beside him, quickly spoke when he saw Liu Yu's face was not kind.

When he heard that it was Sir Gore coming, Liu Yu looked much better.

It has been nearly two years since the last time I came to Lavague.

Unexpectedly, Sir Gore would come here in person this time, so Liu Yu naturally stood up to greet him.

Liu Yu rode his horse and took the Iron Man Army away from the Governor's Mansion and headed straight for Lavag Port.

Today, Lavag Port is no less than Manila Port.

After at least two years of repeated expansion.

It took over the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce and the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang trade, and even some East India companies and Netherlands merchant ships came here.

The inlet and exit of its merchant ships has even exceeded that of the Port of Manila.

As soon as I arrived at the port of Lavag, I saw a group of merchants waiting at the dock.

"Sir Gore, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much." Liu Yu quickly dismounted and greeted him with a smile.

At the dock, seeing Liu Yu greeting him, the merchants present hurriedly saluted.

"Governor, you did it." Sir Gore saluted Liu Yu.

"Rawague is no worse than Manila today."

"It's simply the second pearl of the Far East."

Hearing this, Liu Yu laughed loudly and hurriedly held Sir Gore's hand.

The two of them said as they walked and headed straight towards the mall.

It was not until they entered the Sihai Shopping Mall that the two stopped complimenting each other.

"This time, Sir Gore came to Lavag in person. It shouldn't be for the purpose of doing business, right?" Liu Yu personally poured a cup of black tea for Sir Gore.

Sir Gore nodded undeniably.

"Dear Governor, this time I went to Lavag in person, not just for trade."

"Oh!" Liu Yu frowned. It seemed that these Flangji merchants came to Lavag.

"Do you remember the armistice agreement between you and the Manila authorities?" Sir Gore took a sip of tea and spoke.

Liu Yu nodded. That time, Lavague's armistice agreement had been signed for two years.

The Manila authorities are honest, and the colonists of the Manila authorities did not have the ability to go north at that time.

"I remember telling you that Spain is an empire, and Manila is just a jewel in the crown of the empire." Sir Gore said.

After hearing this, Liu Yu already felt a bad feeling.

"The Spanish expeditionary fleet has arrived in East India."

Hearing this, Liu Yu's heart seemed to be hit hard, and he was breathless.

"When did it happen?" Liu Yu asked.

"Two months ago." Gore said.

Two months ago, if we counted this way, then the Spanish reinforcements have arrived at the Port of Manila.

"When I left East India, the Spanish fleet was still staying in Goa, and they seemed to be in the supply of goods and maintaining trade. Manila was their last stop," Sir Gore continued.

"What do you think of Portugal?" Liu Yu asked.

Sir Gore shrugged helplessly and waved his hand.

"So, please think about it, what is the size of the Spanish fleet that came to Manila this time?"

"There are about ten battleships and thousands of officers and soldiers. This time, King Carlos II of Spain was really furious." Sir Gore smiled indifferently.

"It seems that this Spanish king really looks down on me." Liu Yu sneered.

To be honest, the main forces of the Ming army navy were fighting outside, and the port's defense was very empty.

If the Manila authorities went north to attack on land through the Banggui area, the Ming army could also fight positions with the Spanish by defending the city.

But if the Spaniards were desperate and the Navy rushed from Manila to Lavag Port, then the Ming army would really have no choice.

"Thanks to Sir Gore. If it weren't for Sir Gore's kind reminder, I'm afraid that according to the Ming court's reaction, it would be impossible to find that the local reinforcements in Spain had arrived in the Far East."

This is indeed the advantage of the West.

Today, the Ming court is aware of the dynamics of the Southeast Asian and even the entire world.

After all, the tentacles of the Ming court are only in Luzon, Annan and Qiongzhou.

Basically, it revolves around the entire South China Sea, and the Ming court really does not have the ability to touch the wider South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Even many things that happened in the Far East were basically in a state of late consciousness.

Even the war between the East India Company and the Wolmore Empire was learned from the Florence Store.

Of course, I have to compare this kind of post-knowingly with whom. If I compare it with the Qing Dynasty, then the Ming court will really open my eyes to the world, and the public opinion in South China is in my hands.

"Sir Gore arrived in Lavague in person this time, probably not just to inform the Spanish reinforcements about the arrival of the arrival of the Spanish reinforcements." Liu Yu glanced at the Jazz in front of him and smiled.

"Of course, in fact, I would rather do business with you in Nanyang than the Spanish." Sir Gore said.

"Of course, the tariffs at our Lavag Port are half less than those at the Manila Port, and the taxes paid by Nanyang merchants in Lavag City are far lower than those in Manila City." Liu Yu said.

"Not bad!" Gore nodded.

"You also know that we are not willing to be hostile to the Spanish, especially when the war with the Homoor Empire has just ended." Gore said in a difficult face.

Liu Yu nodded. In fact, the fact that the Folang Jiren was able to stand on the side of the Luzon Ming court was already satisfying Liu Yu.

After all, the Irok natives on the island are indeed somewhat decoupled from this era, and the Ming army does not have the energy to teach these Irok native soldiers step by step to use firearms.
