As soon as Liu Yu's words came out, the Dongpu envoys in the lobby were shocked.

They came to Luzon on the orders of Dongpu Chen Shangchuan.

The reason why Chen Shangchuan, who was in Dongpu, contacted the Luzon Ming Court was also to a large extent to test the strength of the Luzon Ming Court.

The Ming people who fled to Annam did not set up a country on their own, but forcibly took a piece of land from Zhenla under the influence of Quang Nam.

To put it bluntly, the Ming people of Annam are actually just attached to Guangnan.

Although the number of Ming people in Annam was far greater than that of the Ming people in Luzon, Chen Shangchuan's troops were only a few thousand people.

Its army was roughly the same size as the Luzon Ming Army.

But the problem is that the Ming court in Luzon defeated the Spaniards with its own strength, forcibly took the northern part of the northern island of Luzon, and strongly suppressed the local Tufan in Luzon.

And the Ming people of Annam could only succumb to the strong force of Quang Nam, and the surrounding forces such as Zhenla also eyed the Ming people of Annam.

Chen Shangchuan and several other Ming leaders actually did not guarantee that the land under their feet would one day be recaptured by Zhenla, or even directly annexed by the powerful Ruan lord.

Therefore, Chen Shangchuan and other Ming leaders in Annam decided to form an alliance with the Ming court in Luzon.

It is hoped that the power of the Ming court in Luzon can be used to ensure the survival of the Ming people of Annam.

But Chen Shangchuan also knew that the Ming court of Luzon was self-reliant, similar to the original Ming Zhengquan of Taiwan, if he sent envoys to Luzon to ask for assistance, then the Ming court of Luzon would inevitably submit himself.

But Chen Shangchuan, who had become the emperor of Dongpu and other places, including several Ming leaders stationed in other regions, would never agree.

After all, everyone has selfish intentions, and the reason why the Ming people of Annan can survive in this land is because of Ruan Phuc Wei's power scheme, and Ruan Fu Wei hopes to suppress forces such as Zhenla through these Ming people, which is really a strategy to devour wolves and drive away tigers.

Chen Shangchuan and other Ming leaders also submitted to Ruan Phuc Bin, and to some extent, they were also Ruan Phuc Bin's courtiers, but they only had a high degree of autonomy.

To a large extent, the purpose of coming to Luzon to contact the Ming Court was to increase the bargaining chips against Ruan Fuwei by contacting the Ming Court in Luzon, but this did not mean that Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi and others had to be loyal to Liu Yu.

So after Liu Yu tested the old man's reaction, he also pushed the boat to Chen Shangchuan what he wanted.

These firearms, silver is actually a greeting gift, representing the Luzon Ming court's support for Chen Shangchuan and other Ming people to stand on their own in Dongpu and other places, and lead the Ming people to survive in Annam.

The Dongpu businessmen present were overjoyed, and the assistance of the Luzon Ming Court was indeed timely rain.

As a veteran of the Ming Dynasty and Chen Shangchuan born in the Zheng Group, Yang Yandi naturally knew the power of firearms, especially when dealing with local forces such as Zhenla, the importance of firearms and other weapons.

However, when they led 3,000 people and 50 warships to join Nguyen Phuc Binh, Nguyen Phuc Bin just carved a piece of land for them on the territory of Chenla, and after taking this land, everything was done by the Ming people themselves, from reclaiming wasteland to building houses, from villages to towns, almost all started from blank spaces, and it was impossible for a firearms workshop to produce firearms, and even the guns and artillery brought with the ships were damaged due to disrepair, and it was impossible for Nguyen Phuc to give them these things.

Therefore, the gift given by Liu Yu is not light.

The old man obviously didn't expect Liu Yu to be so generous, so he bowed lightly and saluted Liu Yu.

"The people of Annan will never forget the kindness of adults."

"After I go back, tell Chen Shangchuan that Yang Yandi and others let them develop Dongpu and other places well, bless the Ming people, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will also carry out trade with Annan. For Chen Shangchuan and other leaders of the Ming people in Annan, Liu Yu can only try to appease him, after all, he does not have the ability to send the Ming army of Luzon to Annan to fight, and the army of Guangnan is not comparable to these students of Luzon.

What Liu Yu can do is to go with the flow, because according to historical development, it was already the beginning of the eighteenth century when Ruan Phuc was on the verge of taking Dongpudu, and it was a few years before Yang Yandi was killed.

"If the Ming people of Annam are willing to come to Luzon, and the Ming court is willing to distribute land, farming tools, etc., the merchants can also come to Laoag to do business."

The Ming court also had a lot of land in their hands, and Luzon cultivated a lot of land, although most of it was in the hands of the local Tufan, but the Ming army still took a lot of land from local Spanish merchants by buying and selling by force.

These lands were originally prepared for the relocation of Han people from the mainland to Luzon, but who knew that the Qing court reacted quickly, and the plan to relocate Han people from the mainland could only be hastily concluded.

Now, if the Ming people can be moved from Annam to Luzon and enrich the population of the Han people in Luzon, Liu Yu is quite happy, after all, there are many idlers in the current Ming court.

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the Yamen, the Sailors, and Lu Zhen all wanted to break people in half to summon them.

Soon the envoys from Dongpu were arranged by Liu Yu, many of these people were Chinese businessmen from Annan, after all, at this time, the Chinese merchants from Nanyang could have the conditions to come to Luzon from Annan.

Naturally, these merchants came to Luzon to do business and trade, and there were many specialties of Annam, and local minerals, cotton cloth, etc., could also be sold in Luzon.

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is naturally willing to do business with the Ming merchants in Annam, after all, they are all Ming people, and they want to open up Annam's trade through the Ming merchants in Annam now.

Just when the Ming court arranged for the envoy to stay in the restaurant, an old man slowly walked out of the restaurant, he looked at the brightly lit dock not far away with a solemn face, and then slowly walked to the side of the street.

Late at night, Liu Yu was in his bedroom flipping through the books left behind by the Spanish governor.

Since the Ming army took Laoag, the residence of the governor of Laoag has also become Liu Yu's private residence.

These Spanish aristocrats like to store books, and Sir Brent didn't take much with him before leaving, after all, his belongings were basically recorded in the name of the Spanish government, so he was naturally detained by the Ming army, and Brent, who was like a dead heart, naturally did not take these books away.

It has to be said that Brent still has a wide range of European books on astronomy, geography and even military affairs, many of which are European military and cultural works of this century.

Although Liu Yu doesn't know Spanish, Wu Da will ask Wu Da to help him translate these books on weekdays, and occasionally learn a sentence or two of Spanish.

"My lord, the envoy of Dongpu asks to see you."

"Oh, the old man from Dongpu." Liu Yu was a little surprised, and put down a European navigation book in his hand.

"Let him wait in the hall." Liu Yu's face was solemn, and he faintly felt that today's old man of Dongpu envoy was very unusual.

After a simple tidying up, Liu Yu came to the hall, where the old man was sitting on the sofa and waiting for Liu Yu quietly.

The origins of sofas can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, but the real upholstered sofas appeared in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

At that time, sofas were mainly filled with natural elastic materials such as horsehair, bird feathers, and plant fluff, and the outside was covered with fabrics such as velvet and embroidery to form a soft human contact surface.

Widely loved by the European aristocracy, Brent was still a luxury as consul of Laoag.
