But Liu Yu is not a businessman who keeps to himself.

Those merchant ships laden with goods were worthless to him.

All he needed was a large armed merchant ship loaded with dozens of heavy artillery pieces to destroy the Qing court's sailors.

In order to form a naval division, Liu Yu lacked not only ships, but also artillery.

In fact, a merchant ship is just a platform, a sea platform for carrying soldiers and heavy artillery.

"My lord, you should not go to the shipyard at this time, but to the docks in Wigan." Just as Liu Yu was distracted, Wuda reminded.

"What?" Liu Yu was stunned,

"Whether you want merchant ships or warships, you must first get these ships, and as for artillery, that's another story." Uda explained.

Liu Yu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, and he seemed to put the cart before the horse.

Uda was not wrong.

At this moment, his most important thing is the ship, and he must take the ship anchored in the port of Vigan into his own hands.

But now both merchant ships and shipyards are in the hands of the Wigan Chamber of Commerce.

What can you get by rushing to the shipyard yourself?

Is it possible to control the shipyard?

Seeing that Liu Yu was a little shaken, Wuda continued to persuade.

"At this moment, the large merchant ships and shipyards of Wigan are in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, and if you don't have the support of the Chamber of Commerce, how can you talk about forming your own sailors."

It is obvious that Wuda has seen through Liu Yu's thoughts,

"The Chamber of Commerce is at the dock, adults may wish to go with the villains." Uda continued to persuade.

"Okay," Liu Yu nodded,

"You, come down and give up your horse to Uda." Liu Yu pointed to a soldier beside him.

The pro-soldier was not ambiguous, and without saying a word, he dismounted and helped the panting Uda onto his horse.

"My lord, please come with me."

Wuda arched his hand at Liu Yu.

Turning the horse's head and hurried in the direction of the port.

When Liu Yu returned to the port of Wigan, it was already sunset.

The nearby shore defense batteries were already brightly lit.

The Ming soldiers who entered the city took over the shore defense battery.

Although the seemingly majestic heavy artillery on the fort at this time was destroyed by the Spaniards who left in a hurry.

But the Ming soldiers still competently took over.

Unarmed Vigan City is like a treasure box that has just been unlocked by its owner, and anyone can easily open it.

Fortunately, the Black Flag Gang and a group of pirates have their sights set on Laoag City.

made Liu Yu take advantage of it in vain.

Otherwise, Liu Yu and Hu Benjun at this time estimated that they were still eating sand on the beach in Mingcheng.

When Liu Yu came to the port again and saw the dozens of ships moored on the dock, his blood boiled again.

Especially those three-masted large merchant ships, although the white sails have long been lowered, they still give people a daunting feeling.

"Is this the Spanish galleon? It looks a little bigger than the Fukubune. ”

Seeing these galleons docked at the pier up close, Liu Yu was really excited.

The Spanish galleon is arguably one of the most legendary sailing ships in history.

As a symbol of Spanish maritime supremacy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,

For hundreds of years, they roamed the world's oceans, like industrious pack horses, transporting silver dollars from Mexico and gold collected from South America back to Spain for the Spanish royal family to squander.

As a galleon capable of carrying dozens of guns, it was the most powerful warship in the hands of the Spaniards.

Although the Spanish galleon is a little backward compared to the new Galen ships prepared by the English people today, it cannot hide its great achievements in crisscrossing the seas and setting an immortal monument for Spain.

"My lord, the people from the Chamber of Commerce have been waiting at the dock for a long time." Uda hurried over and reported.

"Oh, really?" Liu Yu glanced at Wuda.

Not far from the pier,

Next to a three-masted galleon, a group of richly dressed wealthy businessmen were staring at Liu Yu and his party not far from them with a vigilant expression.

For these Ming people who came to Luzon, the rich merchants of Wigan can be said to have a deep antipathy.

Seeing Liu Yu walking towards him, the group of businessmen looked a little uneasy.

Seeing that Liu Yu went in person regardless of his identity, Wuda was not lazy, and hurriedly ran ahead of Liu Yu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the commander of the Ming army, and he wants to talk to Shang about buying merchant ships." Wuda ran ahead of Liu Yu, and hurriedly said after seeing the representative of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Presumably everyone has also seen that the Ming army did not loot and kill on a large scale after entering the city, on the contrary, they were as reasonable as the Spaniards, not only maintaining the law and order of Wigan but also affirming the existence of the Chamber of Commerce."

Wuda immediately reassured the people of the Chamber of Commerce, but it was obvious that the people of the Chamber of Commerce did not appreciate it.

"Hmph, even the Spaniards don't dare to rob the ships of the Vigan merchants, why, these Ming people can't blatantly snatch the ships of the Vigans." Seeing that the Ming army was staring at the three-masted galleon anchored in the harbor and pointing, one person was indignant.

"Misunderstanding, Akito just wants to buy these ships." Seeing this, Wuda hurriedly said.

"Joke, a group of pirates who fled to Luzon will have money to buy ships, and even if they do, the Chamber of Commerce will not sell them to these Ming people." A middle-aged man with a bloated figure glanced contemptuously at Uda, who stepped forward,

At this time, Liu Yu also walked in front of the businessman, and Liu Yu naturally didn't understand the meeting between Wuda and the businessman.

However, seeing Uda's ugly face, it seems that the communication is not very smooth.

"My lord, the merchants pay the most attention to a good word, if the adults can give a price that makes the Weigan Chamber of Commerce happy, I think they will hand over the ship to the Ming army." Wuda, who had touched a gray nose, turned his head and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu glanced at Wuda without curiosity,

Why do I need you if I want to be rich?

Seeing Liu Yu's expression, Wuda also understood,

Feelings: This group of Ming soldiers has no money.

Although the Ming army took over Vigan at this moment, it also took over the taxes and treasury of Wigan City.

However, the Spaniards ransacked the entire city of Vigan before leaving.

All the official revenues from the taxes, such as silver and gold, had already been taken away by Spanish ships.

So much so that the Ming army, who took over the city of Vigan, was stunned that he did not get a piece of Spanish silver yuan.

At this moment, many merchants and sailors rushed over, and they all looked at this place curiously, looking at the new masters who had just taken over the city of Wigan.

"Wuda, you tell them that the Ming army will not commit any crimes after taking over the city of Wigan, but in order to maintain the safety of the city and avoid pirate attacks, the Ming army must requisition these ships."

Liu Yu paused and continued: "We can requisition these ships in the form of Vigan officials to maintain Vigan's maritime security. ”

"My lord, as merchants in the South Seas, merchant ships are all they have."

"If the Lord had forcibly requisitioned their merchant ships, wouldn't it have broken the hearts of the Vigan merchants?"

Just as Liu Yu was commanding Wuda, a gentle voice came.
