"Haha," Liu Quan laughed wildly after hearing Liu Yu's words.

The people present were shocked and laughing.

"Yu'er, do you think I'm waiting to go south to rob money?" Liu Quan's eyes were cold and he stared at the Yiluoke official beside him.

Officials Irok, who were just smiling, all knelt down at this moment, and their faces were pale in fear.

Seeing that his uncle suddenly changed his appearance, Liu Yu took a deep breath and said:

"For my uncle, money is nothing."

"But for the Ming court and all the forces serving the Ming court, yes." Liu Yu looked at Liu Quan and said softly.

"Luzon has a lot of gold and silver, and the South-Sea trade and distribution are all gathered here. Is the reason why many soldiers in the Navy Town in Weiwu Town really willing to go south to fight against the Qing Dynasty? It's just for the gold and silver of Luzon, just like Han Zhixing."

"This is even more true for pirates. Are pirates who have lived in Nanyang for a long time and have lived happily ever after, really willing to be loyal to the Ming court?"

"No," Liu Yu shook his head,

"It's still a word of profit."

"Luzon is like a treasure-gathering city, conquering all the wealth of the South Ocean. These pirates are like gold-digging ascetics looking at this treasure-gathering city but helpless."

"The Florians are strong, strong, and powerful cannons are not something that these bandit-like pirates can compete with. Since the Florians landed in Luzon, countless pirates were destroyed under the Florian sailboat."

"For Luzon, a treasure-gathering city full of gold and silver, there is no chance for the pirates to be close but not touched.

"However, the arrival of the Ming army broke all this. The Ming court and the Folangji people broke the balance between the Spanish and the pirates. These pirates came over like a shark that smelled bloody from miles away."

"Everyone in the world is profitable. We use the power of pirates to defeat the Folangji people in Luzon.

The pirates also hope to borrow the Ming court to open the treasure city of Luzon."

"This is true for Lavag City. If it weren't for the rumors that Lavag City was full of gold that attracted these pirates, would they be willing to be driven by Xiao Wu or Li Tianyou?" Liu Yu talked happily.

"Haha, Yu'er, do you think such a Ming court can accomplish great things?" Liu Quan turned around and looked at Liu Yu with a cold face.

Liu Yu reexamined the man in front of him.

This middle-aged man wearing a zither armor and a long sword on his waist gave him a strange feeling for the first time.

"No." Liu Yu shook his head.

"Why," Liu Quan asked.

"Hehe," Liu Yu smiled bitterly,

"Whether it was the Zheng army soldiers who defected to Luzon or the pirates who were willing to be the front guards, they were just for money. They had no interest in the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty. Once they captured Lavag or the Ming court really defeated the Folangji people in Luzon, then both the pirates and these rebel soldiers would inevitably scatter." Liu Yu said indefyingly.

"I will never surrender to the Qing Tartars, nor will I be willing to stay in Luzon." Liu Quan looked at the dazzling array of Western-style attics in front of him and said coldly.

He suddenly became gentle and said to Liu Yu:

"What about you? Now that we have captured Weigan and have the wealth of the whole city, are you willing to be a little rich man in Luzon?"

Listening to the sound, Liu Yu laughed out loud,

The Irok people beside him looked confused,

What's going on?

Both uncles and nephews are crazy?

Liu Yu naturally would not care about the views of these Irok people.

"Uncle, you said that I was a Han man born in Dongning. The Tartars occupied the Han family. I have never been back in my life. How could I be willing to be a local rich man in Luzon?" Liu Yu looked indifferent.

"good,"

"I feel relieved, so I'm relieved," Liu Quan finally smiled.

Seeing this, Liu Yu understood Liu Quan's thoughts.

"Uncle, don't worry that this gold and silver treasure will blind my nephew's eyes. For both of us, returning to our hometown is more important than anything else."

"No, it is these five hundred soldiers who entrust their wealth and life to you." Liu Quan said with a serious expression.

"Sir," just as the uncle and nephew were talking, a soldier came forward with the accounts.

"Report to the Lord, all the merchant ships and warehouse inventory listings at Weigan Port are here."

"Okay," Liu Quan took the accounts counted by his personal soldiers,

"Who is managing the inlet and out of the cargo of Weigan merchant ships," Liu Quan said to the uneasy official Yiluoke.

This group of local officials in Vigan look at me and I look at you. The last official who looks like East Asia came forward,

"If you are a sir, the trade in and out of the Vigan merchant ships is mainly managed by the local Spanish, and its officials are served by the Spanish. Since the Spanish army was defeated by the royal army at Mingcheng, the Spanish have fled from the sea. At this moment, the Vigan port is under the responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce." The East Asian man replied in stiff Chinese.

Liu Quan flipped through the accounts, and the text of the accounts was Spanish.

Liu Quan didn't even know any Chinese characters, let alone these Spanish.

He threw it to the man,

"What's your name?" Liu Quan asked.

"In Xiawuda, a native of Weigan, his father often traded with Chinese merchants. He sailed with his father to Guangdong for trade when he was young." The man answered respectfully.

"Oh, Wuda, let me ask you how many merchant ships in Weigan City are there at this time, especially the large armed ocean-going three-masted treasure ship." Liu Yu hurriedly asked.

As soon as he entered the city, he rushed to the port to see the scale of the merchant ships.

I want to learn more about it now.

"Sir, since the Spaniards escaped and took away most of the large ships in the port of Vigan, there were still more than 50 ships of all sizes in Vigan at this moment, including no less than ten three-masted ships with ocean-going capabilities, and the Vigan Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the Vigan Chamber of Commerce." Wuda replied.

"So," Liu Yu nodded and continued to ask,

"So can these merchant ships be armed, such as artillery, or something?" Liu Yu naturally had his own ideas.

For large ships that sailed all year round, they must have self-protection methods for artillery when facing pirates. At this moment, he was eager to know the number of these armed merchant ships.

The man smiled bitterly and looked at the young man in front of him and said:

"Sir, although there are pirates in the Luzon waters, they are basically expelled by the Spanish navy. The Spanish are wary of the non-Spanish merchant ships having too much armed forces, so..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before Wuda finished speaking, Liu Yu waved his hand,

"How many ships are equipped with artillery at the port of Weigancheng at this moment?" Liu Yu looked at Wuda with a cold expression.

He didn't believe that the merchant ships sailing in Southeast Asia had not prepared artillery and other firearms.

Wuda's expression changed slightly. After seeing that he could not hide it from the Ming general in front of him, Wuda also said helplessly:

"Sir, the armed merchant ships that prepared heavy artillery were mainly military Garen ships and large sailboats. At this moment, the merchant ships owned by the Vigan Chamber of Commerce did have several merchant ships carrying more than ten pounds of heavy artillery." Uda said.

"That's it," Liu Yu looked at Wuda with interest.

"I'm curious why the Spaniards would allow armed merchant ships that prepared heavy artillery to stay in Vigan City."

"Sir, the Spanish fled Lavag with their own property, completely ignoring the interests of the merchants in Weigan City. In order to maintain the interests of Weigan City, the Chamber of Commerce naturally had to leave a large number of ships. Therefore, in order to avoid the Spanish search, the Chamber of Commerce deliberately dismantled and hid the artillery from several merchant ships, waiting for the Spanish to leave before replacing them. After all, Weigan relies on trade, and for trade, it also needs the escort of armed merchant ships." Wuda said.

"Well, I know this too. After all, pirates are prevalent in the Luzon waters. Without artillery merchant ships, they would not be able to resist the plunder of pirates." Liu Yu nodded,

Seeing that Liu Yu was not angry because the Chamber of Commerce hid the armed merchant ship, Uda and the Weigan officials present also breathed a sigh of relief.
