Liu Yu was about to get angry and just turned around

I saw a man in a fine robe walking out of the crowd.

Liu Yu saw that this person was good-looking, with extraordinary manners, and seemed to be a rich son.

"In Xia Su Langqing, a native of Ningbo, his family moved to Luzon to escape the war when he was a child, and now lives in the city of Laoag." The man saluted Liu Yu.

"Oh, Nanyang Chinese merchants?" Liu Yu was both a little surprised and a little relieved.

I have been in Nanyang for some time, and Liu Yu has also met a lot of Luzon Chinese.

However, the Ming court basically recruited refugees who fled to various places after several massacres, and basically fishermen and farmers who fled to Nanyang due to the war, and survived in various parts of Luzon in order to beg for food.

Basically, they came to Luzon after the Spanish massacre more than 20 years ago.

As for those Chinese businessmen, Liu Yu has never seen them.

The real Chinese businessmen in Luzon actually lived in Manila, Laoag and other large cities in Luzon.

And these places are in the hands of the Spaniards,

To tell the truth, let alone take refuge, these Chinese businessmen would like to break up their relations with the Ming court in exile in Luzon.

Su Langqing was also a little nervous looking at the Ming army general in front of him, who was a few years younger than himself,

He didn't live in Vigan, but he had some property in Vigan.

The core of his family is in Laoag,

This time I went south to Vigan mainly to buy some family business.

Who would have thought that soon after arriving in Vigan, he would hear that an exile army had come from nowhere to occupy the western coast of Luzon and defeated the combined forces of Spain and Tufan.

For a moment Wigan fell into a panic,

Before the news of the Ming army's attack on Vigan came out, pirates in the sea began to make waves again.

I heard that the Black Flag Gang had united the major pirate forces off the coast of Luzon in a vain attempt to attack the cities of Vigan and Laoag,

For a time, the whole city of Wigan was in turmoil,

Hundreds of Spanish soldiers stationed in Vigan fled to Laoag under the leadership of the consul, leaving Vigan unguarded in front of the pirates and the Mingren.

So much so that the Su family in Laoag wrote to him one after another asking him to return to Laoag as soon as possible.

After all, compared to Vigan, Lawag, who was heavily guarded by Spain, was much safer.

But Su Langqing still chose to stay,

These days, he has been watching the movements of the Ming Court, and he vaguely feels that the Ming Court is fundamentally different from those Haikou or Shengfan Forces.

Especially when the Ming army entered Vigan, it deepened Su Langqing's thoughts.

If the ordinary rogue army had come in, the bustling town of Wigan would have been unable to find the north long ago.

After entering the city, the Ming army not only did not commit any crimes, but also quickly restored the local justice and law and order in Weigan.

After the escape of the Spaniards, Vigan, who was already in a paralyzed and chaotic state, gradually recovered.

This made Su Langqing look at the commander of the Ming army in front of him,

also began to accept the so-called Ming army in front of him.

"My lord, if the villain guessed correctly, the lord requisitioned these ships to form a sailor." Su Langqing smiled.

Liu Yu was also looking at the young man in front of him, and he nodded undeniably.

"It's a pity that the Spaniards plundered the silver in the city of Vigan before leaving, and our army was short of money and food, so we had to make this decision." Liu Yu said.

"Hehe," hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Su Langqing smiled slightly,

He looked at the gloomy faces of the Vigan merchants on the side and said, "Do you want these merchant ships or the whole of Vigan?" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Yu looked at the Chinese businessman in front of him,

To tell the truth, since coming to this world, Liu Yu has seen Han compatriots who are basically like Liu Quan, Xiao Ke, these five big and three rough men, and he has basically never seen any decent literati.

Even in the Ming Court of Luzon, where literati were in dire need, even people like Liu Yu who spoke with a hint of scholarly atmosphere were called Confucian generals by the soldiers.

This made Liu Yu cry and laugh,

At this moment, when Liu Yu really met the literati among these Han people, he was always a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liu Yu didn't reply to him, Su Langqing was not angry, and continued in a gentle manner: "My lord, if you want to get these merchant ships, it is easy, just kill these Weigan merchants. ”

Su Langqing spoke the local dialect of southern Fujian, and Liu Yu naturally understood it, but Wu Da could understand it in the students present.

When he heard this, he jumped up directly,

"No, the Ming army can't slaughter the rich merchants of Weigan, adults must not!" Wuda knelt down directly towards Liu Yu,

In fact, for Uda, he is also a representative of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the Spaniards of Vigan have already fled, and the lives of the entire residents of Vigan are actually in the hands of Liu Yu.

If the young man in front of him really uses the knife, I am afraid that he will not even have a way to live.

"Get up." Liu Yu glanced indifferently at Wuda who was kneeling on the ground,

"Why did I kill the rich merchant of Wigan for a few merchant ships?" Liu Yu looked at Su Langqing and said coldly.

"Heh, then since your lord is unwilling to kill the rich merchants of Wigan for a few merchant ships, then why would your lord risk provoking the merchant ships of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce?" Seeing that Liu Yu was a little angry, Su Langqing hurriedly changed his posture.

"My lord, although these large and small merchant ships are loaded with more than a dozen cannons, they are very different from the armed galleons of the Spaniards, and they also frighten the local pirates in Luzon."

"Your Excellency is a little impulsive to break with the Vigan Chamber of Commerce for a few merchant ships that can't compete with the Spanish sailors at all, right?"

After listening to Su Langqing's words, Liu Yu also woke up from his extreme excitement,

Indeed, it is irrational to provoke the merchant class of Wigan for the sake of a few armed merchant ships that carry no more than a dozen cannons.

After all, the administration of law and order in Vigan depends on local officials, and if they want to reorganize the Vigan trade and make Vigan prosperous again, they must rely on local merchants.

It can be said that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Wigan and even Nanyang, these businessmen are his basic market.

"If the villain remembers correctly, there are also several big ships under construction in the Vigan dockyard at this moment, why don't you buy these ships that have not yet been built, first, because they are cheaper, and secondly, if you buy artillery in the future, it will be easier to place." Su Langqing arched his hand,

Looking at Wuda, who was still resentful on the side,

"The villain is willing to pay two thousand Spanish silver dollars to buy the ship under construction in the Vigan dockyard, and also ask Lord Uda to communicate with the Chamber of Commerce."

Uda was taken aback by this sudden big move,

But soon reacted,

Seeing that the situation has taken a turn for the better, Wuda is also excited at the moment,

Hurriedly ran forward and talked to the representative of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce.

"The silver is on the ship, and my men will take you to fetch it." He watched as several Ming soldiers pointed to a nearby three-masted ship.

"Su Langqing, right," Liu Yu was a little surprised by Su Langqing's approach,

This can be said to be the first Luzon Chinese merchant to fund the Ming army after he came to Luzon.

This made Liu Yu pay special attention to him,

"My lord, the villain has opened a restaurant in Weigan City, before Lord Wuda negotiates the price, why don't you get together at my Su family restaurant."
