"The Chinese businessmen in Luzon did not turn their backs on the Ming court to seek glory." Just as Lord Ruan was questioning Zhao Tianqi, a retainer suddenly stood up.

"The Spaniards in Luzon were suspicious and brutal, slaughtered the Chinese merchants in Luzon several times, and wiped out the Zheng clan in Taiwan, and the Ming generals fled south to Luzon, and the Spaniards were afraid that the Chinese merchants in Luzon and the Ming army should cooperate with each other, so they put the Chinese merchants in Manila in prison, if it were not for the English, I am afraid that all the Chinese in Luzon would be slaughtered by the Spaniards." Retainer Ruan Youjing said.

"My lord, our Luzon Chinese businessmen did not collude with Taiwan's Zheng army, but the Spaniards were brutal, and they insisted that we and other Luzon Chinese businessmen colluded with Taiwan's Zheng army who fled south, and wanted to harm us and other Luzon Chinese, so we had no choice but to escape from Manila overnight and go north to join the Ming court." Zhao Tianqi saw that someone was speaking for him, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"This is not because you are betraying your lord for glory, but because the Spaniards persecuted you and other Luzon Chinese merchants, and you were forced to go north to Zheng Jun." Lord Ruan said coldly.

Zhao Tianqi nodded hurriedly,

"What the villain said is true, if the Lord of Luzon is generous and happy, how can I wait for Chinese businessmen to go north to the Ming Court, I am really forced to be helpless." Chinese businessman Zhao Tianqi wanted to cry without tears, so he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

In fact, at the beginning, the Chinese merchants in Luzon were very repulsed and even disgusted by the Taiwanese Zheng army going south to Luzon, for fear that the arrival of the Ming army would make the Spaniards angry with the Chinese merchants in Luzon, even if Juan repeatedly appeased the Chinese businessmen, saying that Manila would not anger the Chinese merchants in Luzon because of this.

However, in the past several massacres, the Spaniards also promised not to touch the Chinese merchants, but in the end, the Chinese merchants were inevitably killed.

As a result, most of the Chinese businessmen who had long known the nature of the Spaniards fled Manila, and Juan later imprisoned the hundreds of Chinese businessmen and their families who remained in Manila and confiscated their property.

Later, when the Ming army arrived, the Spanish army was repeatedly defeated, and the Chinese businessmen chose to cooperate with the Ming court.

"Saying this about Beitou Mingting is really forced by the Spaniards, not your original intention." Nguyen said.

Zhao Tianqi hurriedly nodded and said yes, Zhao Tianqi is just a businessman, it does not mean that he has to be loyal to the Ming court of Luzon, seeing that Ruan took the initiative to be angry, he immediately cleared up the relationship with the Ming court.

"Then today, what does it mean for you to come to Guangnan on behalf of the Ming court and present me with the trade letter?" Lord Ruan asked again.

"The Ming court is a small people, and the military and silver required are all earned from all over the world, and now Chen Shangchuan, the former Zheng general of Annan, wrote a letter to the Ming court, asking for assistance from the Ming court, and Lord Liu Yu is willing to make a good relationship with Guangnan forever, and specially sent Chinese businessmen to submit letters to traffic merchants."

It is no secret that the Chinese in Annam asked for help from the Ming Court in Luzon in the Ming Court, at least several people at the helm of the four seas know that Zhao Tianqiang, as the owner of the ship on this trip, is responsible for escorting firearms and silver to Annam, so he naturally knows some things.

"Chen Shangchuan and others are all Taiwanese Zheng generals, who refuse to serve the Qing Dynasty, and come to the south to surrender to sincerity, and are willing to be servants. Lord Ruan accepted it, but today Er and other Ming businessmen secretly colluded with Chen Shangchuan and others, what are they trying to do. Ruan Youjing asked sharply.

"It's not about the Chinese businessmen, this is the Ming Court's move, and we are just entrusted by the Ming Court to send things to Chen, Lord Chen." Zhao Tianqi suddenly stood up.

"Oh, send, send." Ruan Youjing shouted.

"Fire, firearms." Zhao Tianqi cringed and spit out two words.

At this moment, the nest exploded in the lobby in an instant, and everyone looked at each other and muttered quietly.

"Mr. Zhao, you go to the post station to rest first." Lord Ruan motioned for Zhao Tianqi under the hall to retreat.

Zhao Tianqi staggered out of the lobby with the support of several slaves.

Watching Zhao Tianqian staggering out of the lobby, Lord Ruan, who was dressed in fancy clothes, had a gloomy face.

"My lord, Dongpu Chen Shangchuan and Dingxiang Yang Yandi are both generals of the Zheng clan in Taiwan, and now they are colluding with the Ming court in Luzon, please send 3,000 troops and hand them over to the command of the last general, and the last general will set foot on the Dongpu Ming people within three months." Ruan Youjing petitioned.

Ruan Lord Ruan Phuc Wei did not respond, and the old face was cloudy.

When Chen Shangchuan and others led 3,000 troops to join them, Ruan Fuwei actually didn't want to accept them, but he was afraid that these Ming generals would rebel.

After all, these Ming mercenaries who fled south were 3,000, and the Quang Nam country was weak, although they could be suppressed, they were afraid of breaking their muscles and bones, so Ruan Phuc came up with a good idea, that is, to send these Ming people to Dongpu, the land of Zhenla.

In this way, not only can the resettlement problem of these Ming army soldiers be properly solved, but also the 3,000 Ming army can slowly encroach on the land of Zhenla, and then seek to obtain thousands of miles of fertile land in Shuizhenla.

But no matter how much he calculated, he didn't expect that there would be a Zheng army that would go south to Luzon, and he captured most of Luzon Island in just one year, so that the Francophiles cowered in Manila.

Ruan Phuc Wei also knew a thing or two about the strength of Luzon Hongyi, and many Spaniards who purchased Nanyang firearms in Quang Nam knew the power of the Spaniards' firearms.

But these Ming people actually beat the Spaniards in embarrassment, and even seized northern Luzon to establish the Ming court.

The trade letter submitted by Zhao Tianqi Ruan Phuc Wei had already read it and had discussed it with his ministers.

However, considering that the Ming court of Luzon was established on the island of Luzon and that Luzon was the land of the Spaniards, if it was to trade with the Ming court, it would probably anger the Spaniards, and at the same time, the Qing Dynasty in the north would not tolerate these remnants of the former Ming Dynasty.

If Guangnan and the Luzon Ming court traded, I am afraid that it will anger the Spaniards in the South Seas and the Qing Dynasty in the north, both the Spaniards and the Qing Dynasty are behemoths that Guangnan cannot provoke, so the ministers have advised Ruan Fuwei, which led to the previous scene.

"The Ming court of Luzon occupied Mingcheng in January and broke 3,000 Spanish and Tufan coalition troops, occupied Vigan in March, and took Laoag in half a year, which is actually the division of tigers and wolves, and now the Ming general Chen Shangchuan and others colluded with the Ming court, I am afraid that it will not be good for Guangnan, and the adults still send troops early to destroy the Dongpu Chen clan." Another retainer stepped forward and spoke.

"Father, no." Ruan Phuc Qin suddenly stood up to dissuade him.

He was the second son of Nguyen Phuc Kwan, and the lobby fell silent for a while.

"Oh, why not." Ruan Fuwei stared at the second son in front of him and asked.

"Chen Shangchuan and other Ming generals will be stationed in Dongpu and other places, and my father will place the Ming generals to go to Shui Zhenla, the original intention is to use the hands of the Ming people to break the rule of Zhen La over the Shui Zhen La area, so as to seize the thousands of miles of Shui Zhen La." The second son, Nguyen Phuc Qin, said.

Ruan Fuwei nodded, "Yes, my original intention was to suppress Zhenla by the hands of the Ming generals who fled south to Guangnan, so as to seek to seize the land of Shui Zhenla from Zhenla. ”

"Since my father was able to use the hand of the Ming general to suppress Zhenla and seize Shui Zhenla and other places from Zhenla, why don't you use the hand of Zhenla to destroy the Dongpu Ming people today?" Ruan Phuc Qin said with a smile.
