When Liu Yu entered the Laoag mansion, and the local officials trembled and handed Liu Yu a book of accounts, Liu Yu knew that he had made a fortune.

The property of the Laoag Mansion alone, the Ming military officials counted it overnight.

Since the soldiers of the Ming army who went south to Luzon were basically warriors, the rest were also craftsmen who had been looted.

Therefore, the Ming army was in dire need of civilian officials, especially those in administrative management.

After taking Weigan, Liu Yu focused on cultivating local indigenous officials in Weigan, and even allowed Chinese businessmen to become officials.

When he came to Laoag, Liu Yu also brought a group of officials over.

I have to admit that the Spanish officials' ability to amass money is quite outstanding.

In just one night, the officials counted 200,000 Spanish silver dollars in the residence, not counting all kinds of antiques, gems and other strange treasures.

After the Spanish troops in the city laid down their arms, the Ming army also seized a large number of firearms.

A thousand arquebuses, flintlock muskets, dozens of artillery pieces, including dozens of heavy arquebuses.

In particular, dozens of pieces of plate armor and spears equipped by pikemen were captured.

The thing that really made Liu Yu dream of it.

As early as the Battle of Famous City, the Spanish pikemen showed amazing combat effectiveness.

Liu Yu was full of praise for the plate armor they were wearing, and more than a dozen sets had been captured before, but the number was too small and could only be distributed to some personal soldiers.

So far, dozens of sets of such plate armor have been captured, and Liu Yu can form an iron man army.

I remember that there was such an iron army in the hands of the national surname back then, and he made great contributions to the Zheng family group.

Liu Yu naturally wanted to follow suit and build such an iron man army.

And that's just the harvest of the Laoag Residence.

After taking the shipyard, the Ming army captured hundreds of shipwrights and shipwrights.

There was even a Spanish 3rd class battleship in the shipyard that was under repair.

The shipyard in Laoag is much larger than that in Vigan.

The shipwrights and workers owned by them are not comparable to the Wigan shipyard.

The capture of the Laoag shipyard will show that the Ming army will have a steady stream of shipbuilding and blood-making capabilities.

And the firearms workshop in the city did not disappoint Liu Yu.

After the surrender of more than 20 Spanish musketeers stationed here, a large number of firearms and facilities fell into the hands of the Ming army.

Hundreds of artisans who made firearms, and even some of the Spanish artisans who made artillery, fell into the hands of the Ming army.

In a cellar not far from the firearms workshop, the Ming army even captured 300 barrels of black powder.

Laoag is simply a treasure trove, and the Ming generals present are dizzying.

Of course, Liu Yu did not let the Ming soldiers idle.

After sending troops to take control of the entire city of Laoag, Liu Yu immediately ordered 200 Ming officers and soldiers to immediately clean up the scars and broken walls of the rich merchant area.

The reason for doing this is not that Liu Yu is generous and takes the initiative to help the Laoag merchants rebuild their homes.

Rather, it was because too many wealthy local businessmen were killed.

No less than 100 Laoag merchants died at the hands of the mercenaries that night, and many of them were dead families.

Their house was burned by pirates.

However, many of the brick and stone buildings did not collapse, and the Ming army occupied them under the pretense of helping merchants clear the rubble.

Laoag is also a place where every inch of land is at a premium, so why not be able to take this opportunity to occupy the houses in these core streets?

And Liu Yu has another purpose.

The mercenaries plundered these wealthy merchants, but many of the merchants' wealth was not completely taken away by the mercenaries.

These merchants are very ghostly, and every house has cellars, secret rooms and other places.

You must know that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the merchants are very shrewd, and it is impossible to put a large amount of silver in a conspicuous position in the house.

They tend to keep precious items such as silver, jewelry, and porcelain in secret rooms or cellars, and take them out when they need them.

These places are often very secretive, and the mercenaries have only been looting for one night, so it is impossible to find them all.

You must know that it took more than half a month of carpet searching in the Vigan Ming Army to dig up the wealth of most of the Vigan merchants.

Now that the merchants have died at the hands of the mercenaries.

Then Liu Yu had no choice but to reluctantly take over the property left by these merchants.

There were also many merchants in the city who had the same calculations as Liu Yu, but they saw the Ming army acting so quickly.

One by one, they stomped their feet angrily, but they were helpless.

After all, no one dared to challenge the majesty of the new ruler of Laoag.

After doing these things, Liu Yu politely went to the port and invited Xiao Wu and the others, who had been waiting impatiently, to the Laoag mansion.

Xiao Wu did think about swinging his troops and directly entering the port.

However, there are only more than 100 soldiers under his command who can go ashore.

Most of them used spears and shields, and some of them used firearms.

Although the number of Huben soldiers who stopped them was only a few dozen, each of them had a flintlock musket in his hand, and each of them was equipped with a long knife at his waist.

Even behind them were launched several small guns mounted on the car.

This made Xiao Wu decisively dispel this idea.

But in one day, Liu Yu politely came to the port and invited the Duke of Qin into the city.

This made Xiao Wu feel a little better, and Li Du on the side knelt directly towards Liu Yu.

Although he was immediately pulled up by Liu Yu with a smile, it also made Xiao Wu understand who was actually in the hands of Fubo Water Master.

I underestimated the young man in front of me.

Fubo's, Huben Town, Auxiliary Soldier Town, Xiaoyong Town, Xiao Wu walked on the street, silently thinking about the military town in Liu Yu's hands.

In the second battle of Mingcheng, the whole town of Weiwu was destroyed, and now there are five towns on the face of the Ming army, Xiao Wu was surprised to find that there was only one town in his hands.

A drop of cold sweat came out of Xiao Wu's forehead, and he didn't even dare to enter the Laoag mansion, for fear that Liu Yu would come to the scene of three hundred swords and axes.

Liu Yu naturally saw Xiao Wu's vigilance, he saluted Xiao Wu, and said: "Qin Guogong, we are all fighting for the Ming generals and the Ming Dynasty. ”

What Liu Yu said was also sincere, after all, if Xiao Wu hadn't resolutely decided to raise troops south to Luzon, Liu Yu would really not have been able to run.

In this regard, Liu Yu also thought of being grateful to this Duke of Qin.

After returning to the Laoag residence, Liu Yuhui took the initiative to give Xiao Wu 100,000 Spanish silver yuan, including more than 100 arquebuses and 50 barrels of gunpowder.

These gifts satisfied the generals of Shui Shi Town.

"Qin Guogong, loyal and brave marquis, today the Ming soldiers took Laoag, which shows the power of the Ming Dynasty, and now we should immediately raise troops south to attack the Francoji and the indigenous coalition army and capture the city of Manila." An adjutant general of Shui Shi Town spoke.

Xiao Wu glanced at Liu Yu,

"The Marquis of Loyalty means ......"

"What does Lord Xiao mean ......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Yu immediately ordered Li Du to lead the warship back to Weigan to receive King Lu.

In the last battle of Mingcheng, the Spaniards and the Shengfan army led by Nero raided Mingcheng, resulting in the destruction of the entire town of Weiwu, 300 Ming officers and soldiers were killed, and thousands of Han people in the city were all slaughtered.

And Zhu Honghuan escaped to the merchant ship of the English under the desperate escort of his own soldiers and survived.

Liu Yu even suspected that the English were also involved in the matter, after all, it was such a coincidence to attack Mingcheng, and the merchant ships of the East India Company happened to come to Mingcheng to trade.

Fortunately, the English sent the frightened vassal king to Wigan, and the local Ming army in Wigan hurriedly protected the vassal king.

With Liu Quan leading the Ming officers and soldiers and the brave town troops to aid Vigan, the situation in and around Vigan City also stabilized.

This vassal king has a place to live.

Now Liu Yu and Xiao Wu decided to take Zhu Honghuan to Laoag at the same time.

On the one hand, Laoag is more prosperous than Vigan, although after a month and a half of fighting and a night of street fighting, most of the buildings in the city are intact, and the casualties of the residents are not large, which is suitable as the base of the Ming army in Luzon.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu and Liu Yu really didn't dare to put Zhu Honghuan outside, the last agreement with the East India Company had already made Liu Yu angry, and he didn't want this vassal king to do anything out of the ordinary again.
