Brent didn't give these wealthy Spanish businessmen time to think about it, and they were going to sea that night.

The reason why it is so urgent is mainly because he is worried that Liu Yu will regret it, and at the same time, several commanders of the Ming army are not in Laoag at the moment, if they wait for the other people to come back, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

Most of the wealthy Spanish businessmen followed Brent away, after all, their roots were in the city of Manila.

The abandonment of Laoag was at best the abandonment of the city's houses and the cargo of merchant ships, which were nothing compared to his own assets in Manila.

Although leaving this wealth to the Ming army was painful for the wealthy Spanish merchants, it was better than staying in Laoag.

What's more, Brent rushed to the merchant ship in a hurry, for fear that Liu Yu would suddenly regret it and see this scene.

The wealthy Spanish businessmen present were really afraid that Brent would leave them in Lasag, and if they did, there would really be no place to cry.

So there were not many choices, and most of the wealthy Spanish merchants and sailors took their already packed luggage and hurried to the docks.

It's just that there are only some clothes left in the baggage on their backs.

The Ming army was very polite to send out three large ships, after all, the merchants and sailors present added up to about 300 people, and the most important thing was that after the ships sent them to Manila, they had to bring back the Chinese merchants in Manila.

The merchant fleet of the East India Company did not leave, but only sent an armed merchant ship to escort them, and assured that the Spaniards in Manila would not suddenly turn back after the Ming ships brought the rich merchant officials to Manila.

There were also about a few dozen Spaniards who chose to stay.

Most of them live in Laoag all year round and have long since put down roots in the town.

The Ming army only demanded that the wealthy merchants who left the city of Laoag pay all their assets, but as long as they stayed in the city, the Ming army would still fulfill their original promise.

For the sake of their family business, these businessmen eventually chose to stay, only to send their families to Manila.

For these Spanish businessmen who dared to stay, Liu Yu admired them very much.

After all, for the sake of something outside their bodies, these wealthy businessmen were willing to gamble with their lives on whether the Ming army would fulfill its promise.

Regardless of their intentions, just because they believed in the promise of the Ming army and stayed, it was enough to make Liu Yu feel good.

For these wealthy Spanish merchants who remained, Liu Yu directly returned their original residential houses to them, and Liu Yu also returned all their shops and merchant ships in the city, and even allowed them to operate in the city.

As for the 300 Spanish soldiers and officers who surrendered, Liu Yu directly built a prisoner of war camp in the city, and raised them with good food and drink.

Especially those gunners, firearms craftsmen, and food are even better than the soldiers of Huben Town.

Su Langqing calculated, raising these Spanish masters is almost worth the cost of a town of the Ming army.

This made Su Langqing, who was settling accounts, feel painful, but Liu Yu was unmoved.

Anyway, the Spanish businessmen paid for it, and he didn't feel distressed.

Since sending away the Spanish merchants, the Ming army has confiscated the property of hundreds of Spanish merchants in the city, almost allowing Liu Yu to get 200,000 Spanish silver yuan, and a large number of jewelry, porcelain, silk and cotton cloth have not yet been counted.

Even the gold, silver and jewelry of the former Lawag merchants, who had been sold to these wealthy Spanish merchants at a low price, fell back into the hands of Liu Yu at this time.

"My lord, what a good calculation." Looking at the accounts sent, Su Langqing smiled happily.

Not to mention buying the artillery of the East Indias, it is more than enough to repay the debts of the Four Seas Commercial Bank.

"In these days, General Xiao led the three towns of the Navy Division to clear out the pirates in Luzon very successfully, and the pirates in the sea area from Laoag to Vigan have basically disappeared, and the maritime trade from Laoag to Vigan and various coastal towns should be resumed immediately." Liu Yu said towards Su Langqing.

Su Langqing nodded, the Chinese merchants were naturally willing, as long as there was no Spaniard and the threat of pirates, even if the sea conditions were bad, the Chinese merchants would resolutely go to sea.

Nothing is more important than livelihood, especially during this period of time, the Chinese businessmen suffered heavy losses due to the blood sucked by the Ming army, and now that the clouds are finally cleared, the Chinese businessmen will naturally take action.

Zhao Lao has been presiding over the overall situation in Weigan, and with Liu Quan's cooperation, the daily trade between Weigan City and the surrounding tribes and princely states has long been restored.

Some of the tribes of the princely states that secretly communicated with Manila were exterminated by Liu Quan's troops.

also trained the indigenous Chinese soldiers in the auxiliary town by the way.

On weekdays, Liu Yu only let them carry baggage and transport grain and grass, and basically did not let them go to the battlefield.

The morale of the army is not as good as that of ordinary beggar soldiers, and it is not good to not let them see blood.

In this regard, Liu Quan did better than Liu Yu.

These Han people, who lived in Luzon all the year round, had already adapted to the environment of Luzon, and the Tufan tribe was much more familiar with the topography of Luzon than the Ming army that went south.

Liu Quan personally led 300 auxiliary soldiers to surpass the rainforest, attacked a Tufan walled city, directly killed the chieftain who had always opposed the rule of the Ming army, and subdued a Tufan tribe of more than 2,000 people.

In this regard, Liu Quan also gave a high evaluation to the soldiers of the auxiliary soldiers in the letter.

Liu Yu thought about it, and when the Ming army counterattacked Taiwan or even the mainland in the future, and the main force of the Ming army in Luzon went north, the defense of Luzon Island would inevitably be empty.

These auxiliary soldiers could stay, first, because they were familiar with the geography and language of Luzon, and second, because they had already adapted to the Luzon environment, which was the most suitable for long-term stationing.

So Liu Yu waved his pen and renamed the auxiliary army town as Yufan Town, meaning that he hoped that they could deter the soldiers and protect the base area of the Luzon Ming army.

As for the new auxiliary town, Liu Yu naturally set his sights on the five hundred plundered mainland Han people.

These were just the first batches, and the land and sea would transport people to Luzon every month.

In the future, more and more people will be sent to Luzon to reclaim wasteland and make Luzon their home.

This can be regarded as some of the contributions that Liu Yu has made to the future after coming to this world!

Of course, the monkeys of the future must be very unhappy.

Now the Han people who have migrated to Luzon Island, Liu Yu will definitely not let them farm.

There are Tagalog people, Iloku people sweat in the fields under the scorching sun, contribute their own strength to the Ming Dynasty, and pay grain taxes per acre.

How could Liu Yu be willing to let these Han children who came to Luzon thousands of miles away to farm?

For days, the peasants stayed in the clearing.

The days are good, there is a wooden shed to block it when it rains, two meals a day, rice porridge with sweet potatoes, and tea.

Not to mention how much life is like, although there are people who fall down for several days, their bodies tremble, diarrhea does not stop, and high fever does not go away, but most people are fine.

Those who fell ill were also taken away by the Ming army, and they didn't know where they went.

In short, for those present, these days are like fairies.

Many people were lazily lying in the open space, basking in the sun.

"Brother Li, these days are really comfortable, if you don't work, you still have rice and porridge to eat, that thing called sweet potatoes is really delicious and full, the emperor's life is estimated to be like this." Erya crossed Erlang's legs and lay on the ground with a carefree face.

Li Liu sat on the ground, his eyes rolling back and forth in the clearing.

These days, he has been looking at the periphery of the open space, the Ming soldiers, officials, etc. who are patrolling back and forth.

"Brother Li, why do you say they are eating and drinking for nothing to support us." Erya suddenly jumped up and said in Li Liu's ear.

Before Li Liu could speak, there was an angry scolding from the soldiers.

"Get it all up for me." A squad leader came over with a long knife and scolding.

kicked a man who was paralyzed on the ground away.

The hundreds of people in the clearing got up one after another, looking at the soldiers in front of them with a blank expression.

"Arrange everything for me, and Master Hou will personally order the troops." A co-ordinator dressed in armor walked over and spoke in the Teochew dialect.

Everyone lined up one after another, and it was surprisingly neat.

It turned out that these days, if these men didn't line up well when the meal was served, if someone made a mistake, there would be no food.

If the array is discharged faster and more neatly, you can eat one more bowl.

No, after a few days, hundreds of people lined up neatly.

Looking at the columns of men in the open space, Liu Yu was also quite satisfied.
