If the army is most happy to take the city of Laoag, there is no one more happy than Liu Yu.

Then the most depressed is Xiao Wu.

This Qin Guogong suddenly found that his control over the Ming army was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soldiers of Huben Town refused to allow the officers and soldiers of Shui Shi Town to enter the area outside the port.

The reason is that no one is allowed to go ashore without the order of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Xiao Wu then ordered He Bin to take a boat outside the port and let the Fubo Town Sailor enter the port.

Unexpectedly, the sailors of Fubo Town were also not allowed to enter the port because they did not receive the order of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

You must know that Li Du, the general of Fubo Town, is the old man of Shuishi Town.

This series of events made Xiao Wu extremely depressed.

At this moment, he was standing on the deck looking at the huge dock in front of him.

Hundreds of large and small merchant ships are anchored here, including Galen ships, fortune ships and so on.

It is enough to see the bustle and hustle and bustle of the port of Laoag.

Xiao Wu also sighed when he saw this situation, this is enough to be comparable to Fuzhou back then.

He was suddenly glad that the alliance with the pirates had not captured the city of Laoag.

If you really let the Black Flag gang and these pirates capture Laoag, they will not be sealed for ten days.

Everything in sight will be wiped out.

Liu Yu, who entered the city, began to deal with the problem of pirates after solving the problem of mercenaries for a short time.

He rejected Wang Tong's proposal to exterminate the Spanish forces in the city, and instead began to deal with the pirates.

After Liu Yu's conscious consumption, the thousands of pirates who rushed into the city were only more than 600 people left at this moment, and many of them were still injured.

Liu Yu was not as merciful as he was to mercenaries.

After confiscating their weapons, Liu Yu decisively split them.

The wounded were left in the camp by the Ming army for medical treatment and imprisoned.

The one hundred pirates who performed best in the past half a month were assigned to the auxiliary army town by Liu Yu.

And the high-tech talents among the pirates, such as gunners and veterans with a certain amount of seafaring experience, were directly incorporated into the water town under the temptation of the Ming army's silver.

There are about a hundred of these people, and they were not allowed to follow the pirates into the city before, but were protected by Liu Yu, and now that the Ming army has taken Laoag, with the ships in the city enough to build a water town, these people Liu Yu will naturally not let go.

As for the other four or five hundred people, Liu Yu felt panicked when he looked at them as human beings.

Some people were left behind by the Ming army to participate in the reconstruction of the city, after all, the damage caused last night was a bit big, and the reconstruction also requires coolies.

The remaining part of the thorns, arrogant and domineering, were directly sent to the mine by Liu Yu.

Of course, the pirates didn't do it, but at this time they had long lost the ability to resist, and after being slaughtered by the Ming army with more than 20 heads, they all stopped.

After neatly dealing with the pirates, Liu Yu set his sights on the Spaniards in the city.

The Ming army that surrounded the official residence of Laoag was about 300 people, and most of the rest went to the port, shipyard and other places to set up defenses.

After all, there were only 500 people in Huben Town in Liu Yu's hands, and the rest of the troops were taken back to Weiganbu by Liu Quan.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu is in a hurry to solve the problem of mercenaries.

However, the 500 Tiger Ben Ming army that entered the city, Liu Yu was confident that he could not be defeated against the 500 Spanish army.

What's more, the city wall and the camp are all in Liu Yu's hands, and the mercenaries who are seriously injured can't make any waves.

The Spanish garrison of Laoag's residence is estimated to be around 300 men, and it is basically a city defense force.

Most of the Spanish defenders on the walls of the port and coastal defense were soldiers on Spanish warships, who had already fled with Terry.

The rest were also hidden in shipyards, firearms workshops, and Spanish neighborhoods.

The Spanish army in these places was small, with only a few dozen in each place.

However, for any area, Liu Yu did not choose to attack, but chose to wait.

The Ming army could afford to wait, the city had already fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and there was no shortage of food and medicine.

The only thing that is a little lacking is manpower, but the mercenaries have made it clear that they will not oppose the Ming army, and even handed over hundreds of firearms to show their sincerity, and are now in full swing to move their belongings to the docks.

The Spaniards in the city were much more miserable, and there were no food reserves in the areas they controlled, and when the pirates were besieged, the Spaniards did store food and other supplies in a series of strategic locations such as official residences.

However, the wealthy merchants of Bailawag raised prices in the city, causing the price of food to rise wildly, in order to save the city from starving to death.

Sir Brent, who was the parent official of Laoag City, took the initiative to put the grain stored in the mansion into the market to save the market.

Thus saving a crisis, of course, the money still has to be made.

So, when he saw that the cellar should have been full of food and supplies, and there were boxes of Spanish silver dollars, Sir Brent felt the urge to slap himself to death for the first time.

Of course, it's not too late to regret it.

What to do with the eating problem of five or six hundred people in the official residence.

You must know that there are not only 300 Spanish defenders in the official residence, but also local officials and family members of Laoag, as well as servants, Spanish merchants, etc.

Seven aunts and eight aunts, hundreds of people also want to eat.

The problem of food shortages was now in front of Sir Brent.

According to a Laoag official in charge of statistics, there is only enough food in the residence for two days at most.

Sir Brent felt that it was a question of whether the Spaniards in the city could last two days.

Just as the Spaniards in the residence were panicking, a tall and thin Westerner walked into the residence.

"Captain Brewster, as a Spanish officer, why did he betray Manila?" Sir Brent looked at the envoy of the Ming army in front of him with a gloomy face.

Brewster was also helpless, this time it was Liu Yu who ordered him to come.

At the same time, as a compatriot, he did not want the Spanish officers and civilians to die in Laoag, so after Liu Yu issued the order, he came without saying a word.

Looking at the weeping women and children in the mansion, Brewster felt like something to do.

"Sir Brent, please believe that there is an essential difference between the Ming army and the pirates, they are regular troops, and as long as you surrender, they will treat us well." Brewster puts a lot of emphasis on us.

"A bunch of exiles who stole my city and now want me to surrender." Sir Brent sneered.

"Although they were a group of exiles, now they have won." Brewster shook his head helplessly, in the days when he was captured by the Ming army, the Spanish officers and soldiers faithfully fulfilled their responsibilities.

Except for telling the Ming gunners some of the operating steps of the Spanish artillery at the beginning, Brewster and these officers and soldiers did not help the Ming army once.

Even refusing to train gunners for the Ming army, Brewster and dozens of artillerymen under his command were already mentally prepared to be abused and even slaughtered by the Ming army.

But who knew that the Ming army was not angry, and the food these days was no worse than that of the soldiers of the Ming army's Huben Town, and they didn't even need to work like those natives.

After taking the city of Vigan, the Ming army also gave them a certain amount of freedom to these captives.

All kinds of actions left these Spanish artillerymen with nothing to say.

Brewster knew that this time in the attack on Laoag, many Spanish gunners even went against their own orders and secretly assisted the Ming artillery to participate in the siege battle.

Otherwise, the Ming army would not have been able to use the Spanish artillery on the city walls so quickly.

Of course, Brewster chose to rot in his stomach, but he sincerely hoped that Sir Brent would lead the Spaniards in the city to surrender.

After all, being alive is more important than anything else, isn't it?

Sir Brent was silent, and he looked intently at the former Spanish artillery captain.

"What are the conditions for Akito?" Sir Brent spoke.

Seeing that Sir Brent was loose-willed, Brewster hurriedly stated the conditions of the Ming army.

"The Spanish army in the city surrendered, surrendered all weapons, and all the wealth of the Spanish merchants in the city belonged to the Ming army."

"Spanish civilians can continue to live in Laoag or choose to return to Manila, the Ming army provides ships, and after the Spanish army surrenders, the Ming army guarantees the survival of the captives." For these promises, Brewster believes that the Ming army will do it, but the conditions of the Ming army are a little harsh.

"No way, Lasag's wealth belongs to Spain." Sir Brent shook his head and flatly refused.

"Dear Sir Brent, please consider the thousands of Spanish troops and civilians in the city, who should not be buried here." Brewster said anxiously.

"Brewster, you traitor, Akito's lackey." A non-commissioned officer couldn't stand it and stepped forward to scold.

Brewster ignored him, and looked anxiously at Sir Brent.

The fact that the Ming army agreed to the peace talks did not mean that they were patient.

Even before Brewster came to Laoag's residence, he had already seen Ming artillery arranging nine-pounder Saiko guns on the streets.

As an artillery commander, he knew the terrifying power of these nine-pounder guns.
