In the early morning, the rising sun shines on the rippling sea.

The noise and fire of last night had long disappeared, replaced by the whistling sound of the sea breeze.

From time to time, a large piece of wooden boards floated and floated in the waves, bringing up one or two broken and burnt corpses.

The sea ruthlessly swallowed up everything that happened last night.

Only the Weigan fishermen who got up early to go fishing can see some wood residues left on the sea and incomplete corpses.

A ship of Ming army was wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades patrolling the coast.

"Report to this battle, our army wiped out 21 large and small warships of the Yulong Gang." Wang Tong saw Liu Yu and a group of merchants walking to the dock in a swaying manner, and hurried up to report.

Last night, he personally led a group of personal soldiers to board the main ship of the pirates and cut off the head of a thief.

At this moment, the armor was still stained with dark red blood that had already dried up, and a bloody head was still on his hand.

This shocked all the merchants present.

"Hey, isn't this the second leader of the Yulong Gang?" Among the merchants present, many of the merchants had been looted by the Yulong Gang, and they had paid the ransom to the Yulong Gang for this.

Therefore, I was familiar with the second in command of the Yulong Gang, so someone soon recognized it.

"Congratulations to the royal army for destroying a major disaster in the sea in Luzon." Uda hurriedly said.

"Congratulations to the King." Everyone present agreed.

The battle was amazing. The Ming army used fire attack to destroy more than 20 pirate warships, while the Ming army only lost the same number of arson ships.

In addition, the mercenaries from the Wei-Gansu Chamber of Commerce were used to assist in the war, and the Ming army only lost 23 people in this battle.

However, he killed more than 150 pirate heads and captured more than 200 people alive.

You are not polite to these prisoners Liu Yu.

They were sent directly to the mine not far away.

One of the big reasons why the Ming army went south to Luzon was that there was a lot of gold and silver in Luzon.

That is to say, there is a silver ore in Luzon.

When he first landed in Luzon, Xiao Wu sent people to reconnaissance the mine veins in Luzon.

However, because of the weak manpower and unsustainable, it was left unresolved.

However, the situation changed a lot after taking over Vigan.

The Spanish set up a mining bureau in Vigan.

Many mineral materials from the veins in central Luzon are also hidden in the archives of the Mining Bureau.

This gave Liu Yu a great gift, and he quickly established a mining department to take over the Spanish mining bureau in Weigan and nearby mines.

At this moment, Liu Yu was worried and had no cool labor. Although these pirates were familiar with water, Liu Yu did not dare to put them on the Ming army warship, for fear of causing trouble for him.

It would be better to send them to the mine to do cool labor, which is also considered cheap labor.

"Duke Li, I ordered you to lead 12 naval warships to go to Gemini Island to immediately wipe out the remaining pirates of the Yulong Gang." Liu Yu conveyed the order to wipe out the remaining pirates of the Yulong Gang in front of many merchants in the Sihai Business Company.

"The last general will receive the order." Li Du looked happy and hurried down to draw soldiers and warships, ready to sail at any time.

Previously, due to the injuries in the Battle of Penghu, Duke Li missed a series of wars on Luzon Island.

After recovering from the injury, I was naturally very angry and depressed. At this moment, it was finally my turn to lead the troops, so I was naturally ecstatic.

"Sir." Su Langqing, who had been silent on the side, walked up to him.

"Congratulations to Lord for destroying the Yulong Gang, but this is a small problem. If the real big problem is not eliminated, I am afraid that the Sihai Commercial Bank will not be able to operate.

Liu Yu naturally knew the big trouble mentioned by Su Langqing.

The Yulong Gang is just a small pirate on the Luzon sea.

The sea giants that really make waves in Luzon are all in Lavague right now.

There are many pirates in Luzon, and these pirates are not eliminated for a day, which is always a huge hidden danger for the Sihai Business Store opened by Liu Yu.

However, everything always has a beginning, at least the largest pirate force wandering on the sea near Weigan was wiped out.

For Weigan City, it is already a blessing to usher in a brief calm.

At least they can go out to sea now, which is undoubtedly the greatest irony for Manila merchants standing in the port of Manila.

Governor Juan suddenly realized that he seemed to be having a big fuss.

Looking at the mountains of cargo on the Manila port, the merchant ships anchored in the harbor, and the merchants walking around the city, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

If Governor Juan, who was standing on the villa in the past, saw this scene in the harbor, he would naturally thank God for giving Spain such blessings.

But the current Governor Juan is not in the mood to thank God.

There were noises outside the manor one after another.

A group of guards stopped the influx of people.

"Juan My boat has been parked in the Port of Manila for a whole month. When will we be allowed to return to Batavia?"

"For God's sake, let us go out to the sea."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Governor Juan was so angry that he threw a beautiful porcelain beside his hand into pieces.

Seeing this, the maid on the side quickly put a piece of cloisonné next to her into her arms.

News of the Scott fleet's crushing defeat was soon returned to Manila.

General Scott's death and the Spanish fleet's miserable defeat put the entire Manila in panic.

It is recognized that there are many pirates on the Luzon sea.

But when was the pirates so arrogant that they even publicly challenged the Spanish Navy fleet and even won.

After thinking about the Ming people entrenched in the north, Governor Juan's forehead bulged.

"Those slaves who lost their country actually joined forces with pirates. They should have thought that the Zheng family fleet was just a group of pirates?" Looking at the noisy and restless crowd outside the manor, Governor Juan tried hard to calm his anger.

"Governor, the merchants are in a state of anger, and the guards are almost unable to stop them." A Manilian official walked up to report in a low voice.

"Are your muskets mute? Can't you shoot?" Juan's emotions that he tried hard to suppress finally burst out.

"But, they are all Manila businessmen." The Manila official hesitated.

"June, this is not something the governor can do." Suddenly, an elegant businessman walked into the door.

When Governor Juan heard this, the blue veins on his forehead swelled up. No one dared to talk to him like this. He turned around angrily and wanted to scold him but was stunned.

How could such a person appear in Manila at this time?

He looked at the person who appeared in front of him incredibly.

"Sir Gore," the Manila officials on the side also recognized the businessman in front of them and spoke one after another.

"Why are you here? Didn't I have blocked Manila Bay?" He glared fiercely at the official in charge of the Manila port.

"Please don't make things difficult for them, my friend." Sir Gore waved his hand very gentlemanly and picked up a set of tea sets from the servant's hand.

"Tea just brought back from China, authentic Chinese tea."

When Juan heard Sir Gore mention the word "China", he felt a little angry. He looked at Sir Gore impatiently, as if he had a close relationship with the British Sir.

"It seems that my Chinese friends have caused you a lot of trouble."

"Friend, are you referring to those wise men in the north?"

"Yes." Sir Gore nodded.

Unfortunately, our East India Company fleet had contacted them a few months ago, when they were on their way from Taiwan to Luzon.

"They hoped that we British people would help them, and one of them convinced me that for God's sake, I gave them 20 barrels of gunpowder," Sir Gore explained.

"For God's sake, I should hang you, right?" Juan gritted his teeth and looked at the British jazz in front of him with an angry look on his face.

"Just a while ago, I hanged a smuggled British businessman in the port of Manila. Now I am afraid I will hang a British nobleman." Juan intimidated.

Sir Gore was not panicked in the face of Governor Juan's intimidation, but picked up the tea cup and drank the tea with a strong tea aroma.

"If Governor Juan, you really hang me, then Spain will lose a huge business."

Governor Juan suddenly calmed down when he heard the word business.

"What business? I'm not in the mood to do business with you now. If you want to do business, go to the Manila Chamber of Commerce."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, the Governor, this business cannot be done by a merchant alone." Gore looked at Juan in front of him with a smile.
