Weigan City is worthy of being one of the important ports in northern Luzon.

Although its light is covered by Lavague, it does not lose the unique prosperity of the port city.

After stepping into Weigan City, Liu Yu rushed towards the sea defense fortress.

At this moment, he stood on the long-abandoned fortress and looked at the bustling Weigan Port.

The neat and uniform streets, with people of all kinds passing by, are no less prosperous than Dongning.

Even among the pedestrians on both sides of the street, Liu Yu saw many Chinese in exquisite clothes.

The arrival of the Ming army broke the tranquility of Weigan City.

The residents of the city, who were in a panic due to the departure of the Spanish, seemed a little numb when facing the newly arrived master.

They watched the Ming army soldiers seize the weapons of the local Irok soldiers, and watched the Ming army patrol the streets,

Watching the Ming army walk into various urban defense buildings abandoned by the Spanish,

What comforts the residents of Weigan City is that the Ming army did not disturb the people.

This made the wealthy businessmen in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

Weigan is the second largest city in northern Luzon.

As the harbour in northern Luzon, ships sail into Vigan at every moment, and this place is also the second only to Lavague.

Countless businessmen settled here, purchased industries, and even many Chinese businessmen lived here.

After the defeat of the Folangjiren in Mingcheng, Vigan, who was the Spanish in Luzon, was forced to give up.

Hundreds of Spanish soldiers hurried to the distance after destroying the military facilities in the city and the coastal defense fortress.

Out of fear of the Ming army, wealthy merchants in Weigan City also moved to Lavag City one after another.

In just one month, six or seven out of ten wealthy businessmen in Weigan City left, and most of the rest were unable to let go of local industries, so they had no choice but to stay in Weigan City.

This made the originally prosperous Weigan City a little more bleak, but for the Ming army, who had been used to hard life, the scenery of the streets still makes people feel magnificent.

Fortunately, Liu Quan was extremely strict in his military administration and ordered the army not to disturb the people after entering the city.

Otherwise, Weigan City could make these Ming soldiers sink.

"I'll go, Lin Xu, look, this is much more beautiful than the town we live in." Several young Ming soldiers on the side looked at the noisy streets and talked in a lingering manner.

"I remember my father said that my grandfather was in Weigan and finally settled in Luzon." One person said.

"Yes, your ancestors were still doing business in Weigan. Master, where is your home?" Someone cheered, which caused the few people on the side to laugh.

"What, it's gone." The man's expression became dim.

"My grandfather bought half a street when he was young. I don't know where it was. In short, it was a long time ago. Later, the Folang Ji people came and picked my grandfather to death. Half of the street business was burned out. My father happened to be playing outside the city with a few playmates before he escaped." The man said in dismay.

In an instant, everyone stopped talking.

Lin Xu came over and patted the man on the shoulder.

"That's all in the past. Now we have the court to protect us, and there is this." Lin Xu said as he shook the musket in his hand.

The heavy musket stowed him with a sense of security he had never felt before.

"That's right, Brother Lin Xu,"

"Those hateful life, the people of the Folang Ji treat us as cows and dogs. Now I see who dares to touch us. I will shoot him." The few people were immediately happy.

Holding a musket and making gestures,

"Okay, put away the musket, otherwise the squad leader will scold us again." Lin Xu saw several people taking off the musket and gestured, and hurriedly said.

At first, Weigan fell into a brief chaos due to the arrival of the Ming army, but as the Ming army quickly approached important traffic roads, the riots gradually stopped.

In order to maintain public order in the city,

Liu Yu directly made a three-part agreement with the residents of Weigan City.

1. The Ming army will not take any property, housing, etc. owned by wealthy merchants in the city.

2. The Ming army only collected taxes corresponding to the trade income of merchants of all sizes in the city.

3. The city's public security is under the responsibility of the Ming army and the Yiluoke servants, and they are all in accordance with the laws of the Folangjiren.

Three rules are released,

The wealthy businessmen who stayed in the city breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

The residents who planned to board the boat and escape from Weigan City also got off the boat one after another.

At the beginning, the sea surface is not calm. Recently, there have been a large number of pirates, so travel is not safe.

Secondly, we saw that the Ming army did not disturb the people and plunder, but on the contrary, it was maintaining public order in the city, which caused many wealthy businessmen to return to their homes.

Liu Quan was very polite to the surrendered Irok officials.

Let them perform their duties and maintain routine matters such as judicial, taxation and public security in Weigan City.

There is no way to do this,

What the Ming court lacks the most at this moment is civil servants.

When he fled south to Luzon, in addition to more than a thousand officers and soldiers, more than 500 craftsmen were brought.

These people basically don’t know a single word, so it’s basically impossible for them to do what civil servants should do.

In fact, the various copywriting work of the Ming court these days were basically done by some literate generals.

At this moment, letting these Yiluoke officials in Weigan City perform their duties is the best choice for the Ming army.

Seeing Liu Quan treating him so politely,

These local Yiluoke officials in Vigan were grateful,

The Ming people in front of them not only did not execute themselves, but instead allowed themselves to resume their posts and continue to do the business of sucking bones and marrow. How could these Yiluo people not be grateful?

Soon, these Yiluoke officials honestly opened the local warehouse in Weigan City and presented the dock's cargo accounts one by one to Liu Quanqian.

This is not all,

Several Irok officials took out the keys to the residence of the Spanish consul in Vigan and handed them to Liu Quan.

Liu Quan was not polite, and he casually moved into the mansion that originally belonged to the Spanish consul.

Weigan City is the most harbor city, where commerce and trade gather.

Every year, the oil and water can make a fortune from major officials.

As the consul of Vigan, he is naturally rich and his mansion is the most luxurious and grand.

I heard that after the Spanish consul heard that after the Spanish army in Mingcheng was defeated, the first thing he wanted was to consolidate the defense of Vigan City, but to let the Spanish army escort the gold, silver and treasures he had accumulated over the years to load and unload them onto the sailboat.

Looking at the group of Filipino maids standing aside to greet each other, Liu Yu was amused and crying.

I didn't expect that one day I could become a rich man again.

I have to admit that this former consul of Gancheng is quite good at enjoying life.

The huge mansion is built like a European manor.

The dazzling array of decorations made the Ming soldiers present overwhelmed.

Maybe it was because I was running away in a hurry or maybe it was because I was too much to take it away.

At this moment, there are still many exquisite ornaments in the mansion.

"This is more spectacular than the mansion of any court official in Dongning." Even Liu Quan, who had been through many battles, sighed after seeing the dazzling array of decorations and decoration layouts of the mansion.

"Yes, Folang Jiren is so rich," Liu Yu sighed.
