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

The people present who laughed wildly were stunned.

"Yu'er, do you think I'm waiting south to rob money?" Liu Quan's eyes were cold, staring at the Ilok officials on the side.

The Ilok officials, who were still smiling just now, all knelt down at this moment, and their faces turned pale with fright.

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

"Money is nothing to my uncle."

"But for the Ming Court and the various forces that work for the Ming Court, yes." Liu Yu looked at Liu Quan and said softly.

"There is a lot of gold and silver in Luzon, and the Nanyang trade and distribution are all gathered here, is the reason why many soldiers in Weiwu Town and Shuishi Town are willing to go south is really to oppose the Qing Dynasty? It's just for the gold and silver of Luzon, just like that Han Zhixing. ”

"This is especially true of pirates, are the pirates who have lived in the South Seas for a long time and are used to living a happy life really willing to be loyal to the Ming Court?"

"No," Liu Yu shook his head,

"It's still a good word."

"Luzon is like a treasure city, amassing the wealth of the South Seas, these pirates are like ascetics who pan for gold and look at this treasure city but are helpless."

"Franc's cannons are no match for these rogue pirates. Since the landing of the Franc Man in Luzon, countless pirates have perished under the Franc Machine's galleon. ”

"For Luzon, a treasure city full of gold and silver, pirates are close at hand but have no chance to touch it.

"However, the arrival of the Ming army broke all this, and the Ming court and the Franco-Romans broke the balance between the Spaniards and the pirates, who came greedily like sharks that smelled blood from miles away."

"The world is full of words, and we borrow the power of pirates in a vain attempt to defeat the Francophiles of Luzon.

The pirates also pinned their hopes on borrowing the Ming court to open up the treasure city of Luzon. ”

"This is the case in Laoag City, if it weren't for the rumors that Laoag City was full of gold that attracted these pirates, would they be willingly driven by Xiao Wu or Li Tianyou?" Liu Yu talked eloquently.

"Hehe, Yu'er, do you think such a Ming court can be a big thing?" Liu Quan turned around and looked at Liu Yu with a cold face.

Liu Yu re-examined the man in front of him,

For the first time, this middle-aged man dressed in armor and armed with a long knife at his waist gave himself a strange feeling.

"I can't." Liu Yu shook his head.

"Why," Liu Quan asked.

"Heh," Liu Yu smiled bitterly,

"Whether it is the Zheng soldiers who defected to Luzon or the pirates who came over and volunteered to be pawns, they are just for money, they have no interest in opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Liu Yu said undeniably.

"I will never surrender to the Manchu Tartars, and I will never be willing to stay in Luzon." Liu Quan looked at the dazzling Western-style attic in front of him and said coldly.

He suddenly calmed down and said to Liu Yu:

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

Listening to the Tao, Liu Yu also laughed loudly,

The Iloke people on the side looked confused,

What's the situation?

Both uncle and nephew are stunned?

Liu Yu naturally doesn't care about the opinions of these Eloques,

"Uncle, you said that I was born in Dongning, and the Tartars occupy my Han family, and I have never been back in this life, how can I be willing to be a rich man in Luzon." Liu Yu looked indifferent.

"Okay,"

"So I'm relieved," Liu Quan finally smiled,

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu also understood Liu Quan's thoughts,

"Uncle, don't worry about this gold and silver treasure blinding my nephew, for returning to my homeland is more important than anything else."

"No, it's these five hundred tiger soldiers who entrust their lives to you." Liu Quan said with a solemn expression.

"My lord," said a soldier with an account as he spoke.

"Your Excellency, the inventory of merchant ships and warehouses in Vigan Port has all been listed here."

"Okay," Liu Quan took the accounts that had been counted by the soldiers on the side,

"Who is in charge of the entry and exit of the goods of the Vigan merchant ships," Liu Quan said as he looked at the worried Elok official on the side.

This group of local officials in Wigan, you look at me, I look at you, and the last East Asian-looking official stepped forward,

"Back to your lordship, the trade in and out of the Vigan merchant ships is mainly managed by the local Spaniards, and its officials are served by the Spaniards, since the Spanish army was defeated by the king under the Ming City, the Spaniards have fled from the sea, and the port of Vigan at this moment is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce." The East Asian-looking man replied in stiff Chinese.

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

Liu Quan didn't even know a single Chinese character, let alone Spanish.

He threw it to the man,

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

"In Lower Uda, a Vigan man, his father often traded with Chinese merchants, and when he was a child, he sailed with his father to Canton to trade." The man replied respectfully.

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

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

At this moment, I would like to learn more about it.

"If you go back to your lordship, because the Spaniards fled and took away most of the big ships in Vigan Port, there are still more than 50 ships of all sizes left in Vigan at this moment, of which there are no less than ten three-masted ships with ocean-going capabilities, which are controlled by the Vigan Chamber of Commerce." Uda replied.

"In this way," Liu Yu nodded and continued to ask,

"Then can these merchant ships be armed, such as artillery or something," Liu Yu naturally had his own thoughts,

For a large ship that sails all year round, it must have the means of self-protection of artillery in the face of pirates, and at this moment he is eager to know the number of these armed merchant ships.

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

"My lord, although there are pirates in the waters of Luzon, they are basically expelled by the Spanish navy, and the Spaniards are wary of non-Spanish merchant ships having too many weapons, so they ......"

Before Wuda finished speaking, Liu Yu waved his hand,

"How many ships are equipped with artillery in the port of Vigan City at this moment." Liu Yu looked at Wuda with a cold face,

He didn't believe that the merchant ships that sailed the South Seas all year round did not prepare guns and other firearms.

Wu Da's expression changed slightly, and after seeing that he couldn't hide the Ming army generals in front of him, Wu Da also said helplessly:

"My lord, the armed merchant ships that prepared heavy artillery were mainly military Galen ships and galleons that were all driven away by the Spaniards at this moment, and the merchant ships owned by the Vigan Chamber of Commerce at this moment did indeed have several merchant ships carrying heavy guns of more than ten pounds." Uda Road.

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

"I'm curious why the Spaniards would allow armed merchant ships preparing heavy artillery to remain in Vigan."

"My lord, the Spaniards fled from Laoag with their own property, completely ignoring the interests of the merchants of Vigan City, and the Chamber of Commerce naturally had to leave a large number of ships in order to maintain the interests of Vigan City, so in order to avoid the Spanish search, the Chamber of Commerce deliberately dismantled and hid the guns on several merchant ships, and waited for the Spaniards to leave before loading them back, after all, Vigan relied on trade, and in order to trade, it also needed the escort of armed merchant ships." Uda Road.

"Well, I also know this, after all, piracy is rife in the waters of Luzon, and without artillery, merchant ships will not be able to resist the raids of pirates." Liu Yu nodded,

Seeing that Liu Yu was not angry because of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce was hiding armed merchant ships, Wuda and the Weigan officials present were also secretly relieved.

"There are about twenty merchant ships in Vigan today, and six of them are equipped with twenty guns of ten pounds." Uda 1510 returns.
