When the fort was taken, it was actually announced that there was no suspense in this battle.

Then, as if devastating, it took only one day for the island of Fugarga to be completely occupied.

Seeing that Liu Xiang liked this place, Huang Yong handed over all the pirates who surrendered to Liu Xiang, left him all the captured artillery and arquebuses, armor, and cold weapons, and gave him half of the armed merchant ships that the "Red Banner Army" looked down on.

There were sixty or seventy thousand stone of grain on the island, and Huang Yong was not embarrassed to transport it to the ship, so he left it to Liu Xiang, because Liu Xiang himself had three or five thousand men and horses, and also took over more than 12,000 pirates and slaves, and the problem of food was also a big problem, and he couldn't live without food.

Huang Han instructed Liu Xiang to manage Fugaga Island well, and strive to seize more than a dozen nearby islands to expand his territory in the future, and after his strength grows, he can completely take the southern tip of the main island of Luzon and reclaim it.

According to statistics, the "Red Banner Army" really got gold and silver treasures, and made a fortune in more than 5 million taels of silver.

This is a pirate lair that has existed for more than a hundred years, has been passed down for several generations, and there are more than 6,000 slaves on the island, and too many people have become numb, looking at this unique team with terrifying eyes.

Slaves were a known group of people, with black, white, and brown skin tones abounding, and hair colors varied.

Huang Yong kept it in mind, and he took Lin Minghai and a dozen young musketeer non-commissioned officers who were learning Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese to talk to many slave Xiyi.

In the end, more than 200 people were taken in, and these people were not only skilled in handling artillery, but also had their own strengths, and half of them ran through North and South America many times.

Liu Xiang was already so happy that he felt dizzy at this time, the "Red Flag Army" only selected some prisoners, how could he have an opinion, at this time, with his mood, Huang Yong fell in love with his wife, and he would dedicate it.

Finally has his own place to stand, which is still easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Xiang has strengthened his confidence to follow the "Red Flag Army" in the future.

He saw that Huang Yong supported him to seize the territory of the Luzon and stand on his own, so why couldn't he establish a kingdom in the South China Sea ruled by himself?

After three days of repair, the damaged ships that needed to be overhauled were given to Liu Xiang, and when he set sail again, Huang Yong's fleet had more than 150 ships, and Liu Xiang picked more than 30 of the fastest warships to take with them to Manila for trade.

Along the way, they continued to do business without capital, and when the mighty fleet came to Luzon Manila to trade with the Spaniards, it had more than 200 large ships, and such a large fleet frightened the Spanish colonists.

Fortunately, there was a Chinese captain Liu Xiang who was familiar to the Spaniards in this fleet, and he did not give the other party a good face when he landed to meet the Spanish governor.

Liu Xiang is not a thing, he knows that Xiyi is also mostly bastards, they have no morality, worship force, and like to conquer.

At this time, he and the Longwu Sailor joined forces to have the ability to defeat the Spanish garrison of Little Luzon, and of course show off his might.

After some arguing, Huang Yong only gave about 60% of the transaction price with the Japanese state to buy a large amount of copper ingots, rice, sulfur, lead, pig iron and other materials.

Unfortunately, there is too little rice that can be purchased, less than 80,000 koku, and with the full capacity of the returning ship, it is not a problem to transport 800,000 koku.

Liu Xiang was puzzled when he saw Huang Yong's thirst for food, and after inquiry, he learned that the "Red Flag Army" imported grain not for profit, but to strive for more Han people to survive the famine.

He immediately suggested that the fleet take a detour to Pheu Phuoc, a commercial port established by Portuguese merchants, to buy rice, which was the territory of Quang Nam established by the Nguyen family in the south of the Great Viet Kingdom, and the origin of Champa rice, the main crop was rice, and the yield was high, so it was the right place to buy rice there.

Huang Yong accepted Liu Xiang's suggestion to lead the fleet westward, and Liu Xiang still brought ten of the fastest armed merchant ships with him to show his loyalty.

He left his righteous sons Liu Yuesheng and Liu Haisheng and his henchmen Kang Chengzu and brother-in-law Kang Kuohai to lead most of his subordinates to repair the nest that had just arrived.

Liu Xiang was familiar with the strength of the nearby pirates, and knew that with more than 4,000 men guarding Fugaga Island, which had dozens of Hongyi cannons and nearly 100 warships, it was safe and secure, and Zheng Zhilong might not be able to lead all the men and horses to attack.

It was too far away from Fujian for Zheng Zhilong to carry out a long-distance cross-sea attack with his entire army.

As long as Fugaga Island is in operation for about half a year, four or five thousand pirates and slaves who have just surrendered will be able to participate in the battle, and there is no need to worry about which family will be killed by the lair.

Looking at the world, there are few people like the "Red Banner Army" Longwu Naval Division, and even Xiyi does not have such a swift Marine Corps.

Liu Xiang didn't worry about the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, and continued to follow Huang Yong, earning performance in exchange for the favor of the "Red Flag Army", and at the same time being able to get a lot of benefits, why not?

Huang Han inspired the emperor when Cao Huachun, the head of the seal, and Wang Chengen, the chief of ceremonies, visited the emperor, and talked about the need for the imperial court to hold on to the land of Gyeonggi and ensure that the common people in this area were fed and clothed.

Next, Chongzhen made a series of personnel changes, strengthened the inner and outer Great Wall and the Yellow River, and it was obvious that the emperor listened to Huang Han's golden and jade words.

After the spring ploughing, in order to increase the income of the small people in Shengdou, the land of Gyeonggi, Zheng Xiu'e came forward to organize 70,000 or 80,000 people to pick up rivers and build roads.

In the case of continuous natural disasters, we cannot be passive, and it is possible to mobilize manpower to carry rivers to increase the water storage capacity of rivers and lakes while also improving flood drainage capacity, and it is possible to cope with drought and waterlogging and maintain harvests.

Repair the official roads from the capital to Yongping Prefecture, Tianjin Wei, and Funing County, and ensure that the four-wheeled carriage can gallop, which is conducive to food transportation and troop mobilization, and responds to emergencies much faster.

Last spring, the "Sifang Passenger Transport" was put into operation, and dozens of four-wheeled carriages using springs as shock absorbers for passenger transportation were put into operation.

This kind of passenger carriage is pulled by four horses, can sit twenty-four adult passengers four-wheeled carriage, because the passenger line is separated by thirty or forty miles, you can rest for half an hour to change horses and continue to gallop, running Tianjin Wei to do the morning and evening.

The relay station on the official road used for changing horses is somewhat similar to the later motorway service area, where passengers can get free hot water, buy food, and use clean toilets.

Tianjin Wei Port arrived at the Guangqu Gate of Jingshi for three hundred and fifty miles, and before there was no Sifang Express, the businessmen hurried up to run a one-way exhausting and tiring work, needless to say, it would take three days.

Now, you can reach your destination without realizing it.

The efficient and comfortable "Sifang Passenger Transport" became famous for a while, and tickets from Beijing to Tianjin Wei needed to queue up several days in advance to be bought.
