145 Farewell

"Let's go, you don't have to worry about Sister Yuzhu at home, I will take care of her, but you are yourself, pay more attention at sea, remember that this Oceania should be within a range of thousands of miles south of Luzon, after this range, you will return early, replenish supplies in Java and other places, don't wander for too long!"

In the port of Manila, under the gaze of countless people, Li Tianyang was ruthless on his face, but in fact, he said some words to his younger brother Li Tiansheng, who was expelled and exiled by himself.

In the face of Li Tianyang's advice, Li Tiansheng did not behave too crazy and hostile at this time, because as Zhu Juan self-poisoned and sought a glimmer of life for him, he followed Li De's footsteps in a few days, so that Li suddenly went to another elder.

Before driving the crane to the west, Li Tiansheng drank jade beads and the two children had been serving Zhu Juan, and I don't know how Zhu Juan persuaded her, but it shouldn't be difficult to persuade Li Tiansheng to obey Li Tianyang's arrangement when she died.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, except for the last time when he insisted on going against Li Tianyang's elder brother, and secretly colluded with Yuan Chengwu to deal with Li Tianyang with their backhand, Li Tiansheng was completely filial at other times, and he never disobeyed his mother.

"Understood!"

There is a weak breath, spit out from Li Tiansheng's mouth, and his father and mother died one after another, which is an unfortunate thing for the Li family, and it has a greater impact on Li Tiansheng.

After really competing with his brother, the resentment that Li Tiansheng once held in his heart actually dissipated almost as much; As for his own failure, after seeing the true strength of Hongmen, Li Tiansheng was unwilling to admit that his eldest brother was better than himself.

With his mother's advice before he died, at least on the surface, Li Tiansheng let go of his eldest brother on the side of the net, and there was still less hostility on his face.

"Go ahead!"

After an order was given, two 400-material warships and a thousand-material fortune ship slowly sailed off the shore and headed towards the vast distance, leaving only Li Tianyang, Yuzhu and other cadres to see each other off.

After sending off Li Tiansheng and more than 300 Shark Gangs who rebelled or took advantage of the chaos, the long naval battle in the Luzon Islands finally came to an end.

There was much more to come, and how the Spaniards were to be placed was a problem; However, it is also important for the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to reopen and build their own farms and mines; Of course, the reopening and construction of Manila Castle will allow this important transit point connecting East and West trade to play its role again, which is a top priority for Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and Hongmen.

Hongmen as the largest contribution, the most casualties of the party, they naturally get the greatest benefits, the bird occupies the dove's nest is not appropriate for the Hongmen, but this is the case, after defeating the Spaniards, Hongmen has completely become the master of this world.

The Spaniards' many years of operation have become the wedding dress of the Hongmen people, and most of the Spanish industries outside the Manila Castle have been looted by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the overseas Chinese of the Ming Dynasty, but in the several warehouses of the Governor's Mansion in the castle, they have also accumulated the wealth of the Manila Castle for more than a year, as well as the wealth of the unlucky governor Salamanca over the years, which is more than 400,000 taels of silver, and there are other jewels and gold.

This alone has almost been able to make up for the losses suffered by Hongmen as a result of the war, and there is even a surplus, after all, it is the nest of the Spaniards, and the valuables are naturally kept in the castle.

Of course, the biggest big thing will definitely not be these tangible things, but the entire main island of Luzon, the main island of Visayas and its surrounding islands will fall under the control of the Hongmen people, which can be regarded as a safe retreat for Li Tianyang and Hongmen in the future.

Although the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce also profited a lot from it, dividing countless lands and people from the island and expanding their own farms and mines, Hongmen gained more from the benefits.

Among them, there are many things that will be left behind for future generations and change the direction of history, which are not significant at this time, but they are also beginning to take shape, such as the status of overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty has risen sharply in the Luzon Islands since then, and they no longer have to worry about becoming the persecution of Spanish colonizers and local aborigines.

As long as the Hongmen regime can last until two generations later, it can be expected that the future masters of the Luzon Islands will no longer be the country dominated by the Tagalu and Ilogo people in later generations, but will be controlled by a group of Chinese people who speak Chinese and learn Chinese.

However, Hongmen also has its own difficulties, Dayuan Island is now the center of gravity of their Hongmen development, and Li Tianyang's move has objectively disrupted their Hongmen's plan for the future.

If the center of gravity is shifted southward, not to mention that many arrangements of Hongmen in the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu, and the Wa Kingdom at this time will be useless, even the pace of their Hongmen's development of Dayuan Island will inevitably slow down, and it will delay a lot of time.

However, if you occupy the Luzon Islands and ignore them, it will be really a ruin, and it is better to make such a big battle without spending manpower and material resources from the beginning!

Fortunately, at this time, Li Tianyang still has the Crazy Shark Gang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce available in his hands, so it is reasonable that the Crazy Shark Gang, as the force gang that contributed the most and sacrificed the most after Hongmen, will inevitably gain more.

Now since Li Tianyang expelled his younger brother Li Tiansheng, he has become the undisputed leader of the Shark Gang.

The first thing after taking power, Li Tianyang took advantage of the current dilapidated situation of the Shark Gang, and simply broke the Shark Gang as a whole and integrated it into Hongmen to become the fourth swordfish department of Hongmen, and the radical was naturally Li Tianyang's third uncle Gan Xingzhi.

With the Shark Gang on the island, and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Hongmen assisting in civil and administrative affairs, it was not a problem to maintain the original situation in the Luzon Islands for a while, the only thing to worry about was that without the Spaniards, the channels of ocean trade between the East and the West seemed to be somewhat blocked, and there would no longer be the flow of ships back and forth when the Spaniards were there.

As the most profitable trade route, if there are no other Western merchants to buy the unique Oriental products that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has transported from the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom thousands of miles away, then these products are just a worthless thing.
