Chapter Seventy-Six: Questioning

Obviously, these people from the Weigan Chamber of Commerce thought that the Ming Army, who was used to being an honest man, would naturally suffer the bitter fruits themselves this time and would not pursue it again.

Even Wuda felt that most of the Ming army would endure it, so after receiving the verbal promise of compensation from the Weigan Chamber of Commerce, he hurried back to recover his life.

Liu Yu held back his anger and said softly: "Since it was a mistake, then I hope that the Chamber of Commerce can make compensation for this matter."

Looking at Liu Yu, who was pale, Wu Da also knew that Mingren was also on the verge of anger, and he who originally wanted to exonerate the Weigan Chamber of Commerce couldn't say anything more, so he retreated respectfully.

For Akito, this time the loss was undoubtedly heavy.

The wharf was destroyed, several merchant ships capsized, and dozens of people were lost in the town of Huben.

The angry Liu Quan couldn't wait to pull out the bones of those pirates.

But anger is anger, and there must always be a reasonable solution to the matter.

In addition to redeploying artillery to the battery, the Ming army also began to prepare intensively to rebuild the dock.

Su Langqing asked someone to turn over the medicine market of the Weigan and small medical halls overnight, and collected all the herbs used to treat burns, and the doctors in the whole city of Weigan were also invited to treat the injuries of the Ming army.

The high efficiency of work can't help but impress Liu Yu.

Even Liu Quan's heart warmed after seeing that those burned soldiers were properly placed.

In fact, given the medical conditions of the 17th century, whether these burned soldiers survived was actually entirely up to their own luck, at least the Ming army did everything they could.

For these soldiers, they can only settle their own destiny.

Listening to the heart-rending screams or weak whimpering voices coming from the medical hall,

The morale of the Ming army in the entire Wigan army fell to the bottom.

As for sending troops, Laoag naturally put it down.

The Viganming army itself is difficult to protect, how can there be kung fu to go to Laoag to find unpleasant.

Liu Quan revised a letter early in the morning, euphemistically expressing the difficulties of his own situation, saying that he was unable to send troops to support, and at the same time wrote about the sudden attack on Wigan by the Ichthyosaurus Gang, questioning whether the alliance between the Ming army and the pirates was reliable.

After sending someone to deliver the letter, Liu Quan leaned back in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.

For the Akito, these days are undoubtedly busy,

And for the Vigan Chamber of Commerce, these days are undoubtedly leisurely.

Just as the Ming army was in full swing to build the wharf, on the other side of the wharf controlled by the Weigan Chamber of Commerce, a young man with a Southeast Asian appearance was looking at the figure of the Ming man who was busy at the wharf in the distance with interest.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and the man hurriedly turned around.

I saw a middle-aged man in his 50s, dressed gorgeously but with a bloated body, hurriedly walking over.

"Father," the man said,

The middle-aged man slapped him.

"Uluci, who told you to drive the ship out of the dock and fire at the Ming army without permission?" After the middle-aged man slapped him, he was still angry and scolded with his head covered his face.

The chirping of birds echoed on the docks, and several servants stood there in fear, bowing their heads and not daring to say more.

"Do you know that these Ming people have controlled Vigan, and do you know what kind of situation the Vigan Chamber of Commerce will face because of your stupidity." Wu Li looked at the son in front of him and asked.

"Uluci, you have to understand that we are just merchants, and business is the foundation of our survival, which is why the Chamber of Commerce did not interfere in the conflict between the Spaniards and the Ming, but you shelled the Ming army with a merchant fleet, and the entire Chamber of Commerce was panicked and asked me to give an explanation."

On the dock on a hot day, the middle-aged man spoke emotionally, and suddenly felt a little out of breath.

Seeing the middle-aged man's blushing face and panting, Uluci hurriedly brought a bowl of black tea from the servant,

"Father, don't get excited, drink a bowl of tea to dissipate your anger."

Seeing this, Wu Li didn't care about anything, and drank the black tea directly.

Seeing Gurlum pouring tea down his throat, Uluci smiled and patted his father on the back.

"Didn't you just kill a few Tang people, the red hair killed tens of thousands of Tang people, and I didn't see anything happen." Uruci laughed.

"How many times do you have to say it before you can understand, you look at the current Wigan." The middle-aged man just drank a bowl of tea, and felt much more comfortable, but when he heard his son's words, he suddenly became angry again.

Pointing at the Ming army building on the pier in the distance, he roared.

"Wigan is now from the Ming army, but whose is Luzon?" Seeing that his father was so angry, Uluci was also a little angry, and asked rhetorically.

Wu Li was speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing his father frozen there, his face blue and white, Uluci shook his head.

"As the president of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce, do you really think that I went to shell the dock on the east side to protect the property of the Vigan Chamber of Commerce from loss?" Uruci looked coldly at the harbor battery in the distance.

"Father, you keep saying that we are businessmen, and the most important thing to be a businessman is to be shrewd, as the president of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce, can't my father see the current form?"

"Now although the Spaniards are trapped in Lasag, but these Tang people are not trapped in Vigan, the Spaniards are powerful, just wait for the Manila reinforcements to arrive, the pirates will fall apart, and then the Spaniards will kill Vigan again, how do you say the Spaniards will treat us." Uruci looked at his father's meaty face and asked with a smile.

"So the Chamber of Commerce has never assisted these Tang people." Wu Li argued.

"But will the Spaniards listen to us?"

"You must know that when those Tang people raised troops to rebel, those rich Tang merchants obeyed the arrangement of the Spaniards and did not participate in the rebellion, but what happened to those rich Tang merchants later?"

"How much higher will we, the Vigans, be to the Spaniards than the Dons? It's just cattle and sheep raised by the Spaniards. Uruci looked at the servant who bowed his head in disgust.

Wu Li was stunned, the anger that originally surged into his heart had long since dissipated, and was replaced by a cold sweat rising from his back.

He knew the Spaniards all too well, a bunch of red-haired ghosts who were more greedy and ferocious than pirates.

The Vigan Chamber of Commerce did not follow the Spaniards to Laoag because of their interests, so when the Spaniards come back, will they let themselves go?

He knows too much about the things of the rich businessmen of Nanyang Mingren.

After all, after the Spaniards suppressed the Ming armed rebellion, the first thing they did was to wipe out all those rich Ming merchants with a knife and plunder their wealth.

As for why he knows so well, the reason is also because he also participated in the robbery of the rich merchants of the Ming Dynasty and got a piece of the pie.

Hearing Uluci's words this time made Wuli, a huge rich man in Wigan, break out in a cold sweat.
