"These pirates are more difficult than ordinary pirates, and it is not easy to achieve such results." Qin Yu nodded, quite satisfied with the results.

After all, the strength shown by the pirates in this battle also shocked all the generals of the Ming army.

"Neutralize all the pirates onto the warship, and interrogate them carefully when they return to Raag." Adjutant General Miao Qian ordered.

In the past, most of the pirates encountered by the Ming army were fierce, but there was not much organization and such superb artillery skills, if the Nanyang pirates were like this, then the Ming army would have to consider the issue of escorting the Nanyang merchant fleet.

Seeing that the pirates had been driven out, the merchant fleet in the far seas also hurriedly set sail, but the speed of the merchant fleet was much slower due to the destruction of the sails of many ships in the previous artillery battle.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of Fuyang Town of the Ming Army followed all the way, like a guard with a knife to open the way, and there were no accidents on the subsequent route.

Rasag

Tonight's Laoag is brightly lit, and every house is lit up.

The expeditionary fleet of the Ming court sailors returned victorious, and the Ming court celebrated with the people.

On both sides of the bustling streets, hundreds of people are looking forward to it.

Columns of soldiers of the Ming army who had returned from the expedition were walking towards the street with neat steps.

This is a military parade painstakingly arranged by Liu Yu, so that all the people of Laoag can witness the majesty of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Three hundred soldiers from the former town of Huben are at the forefront under the leadership of Wang An.

They were dressed in armor, wearing bright helmets, and armed with self-generated fire guns, swords and fire and thunder at their waists.

The formation walked neatly down the street, and with every step they took, there was a burst of metallic trembling.

In the middle of the night, on the brightly lit streets, three hundred tiger soldiers lined up, showing the beauty of violent aesthetics.

Horse-drawn wagons and towed artillery followed.

In order to pay attention to beauty and aura, the Ming army deliberately replaced the horses of the four artillery carriages in front of them with tall Western war horses.

Metal horses' hooves rattle on the stone brick floor.

A bronze cannon with a bronze sheen appeared in everyone's sight.

From the three-pounder Franc cannon, to the six-pounder Falcon cannon, and the nine-pounder Saiko cannon, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion in Huben Town was unveiled one by one.

Although this trip to Dongpu, Huben Town and the Shenji Artillery Battalion only went through a passing scene and did not participate in the battle, but after returning to Laoag, the Ming court still played a big role in the people.

The streets and alleys are rumoring about the heroic deeds of the Ming officers and soldiers in the bloody battle with the Zhenla people.

"God, will the defenders of Manila really be able to defeat these Ming officers and soldiers?" On the side of the street, several Spanish merchants shook their heads as they looked at the Ming artillery corps walking in front of them.

They came to Laoag to do business, and the Ming court allowed the wealthy Spanish merchants of Manila to come to Laoag to do business and trade, compared to the Manila authorities' explicit refusal of Ming court merchants to enter the city of Manila.

Therefore, it has also won the recognition of many Western businessmen in Nanyang.

After all, money is king.

Since the Ming court opened the market in Luzon, Spanish merchants were allowed to come to Laoag to do business.

So why didn't the Spanish businessmen from Manila come?

Of course, many people reminded Liu Yu to beware of Manila's spies sneaking into the city to find out information.

However, Liu Yu thought about it, instead of taking precautions, it was better to directly open the door and let Manila merchants enter the city.

Since the Manila authorities wanted to know the strength and defense of the Rawagming army, the Ming army asked Manila to see the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, privateer fleets operating north of Luzon suddenly disappeared from the Luzon seas.

Officials in Manila stopped talking about the reconquest of northern towns until reinforcements from the Spanish mainland arrived.

"Put!"

"Bang bang bang!"

On both sides of the street not far away, ten salutes that had been prepared for a long time began to erupt tongues of fire under the operation of the gunners.

While the people of Laoag were empty and scrambling to witness the parade, the Governor's Palace was also brightly lit.

Liu Yu specially set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain the two Ming leaders who came all the way from Dongpu.

"General Chen, General Yang, on behalf of the Minghai Chamber of Commerce, I would like to toast you." Su Langqing raised his wine glass and looked at the two generals in front of him and said.

"It turns out that you are the head of Minghai, and the assistance of the Minghai Chamber of Commerce to Dongpu is unforgettable." After hearing that the man in front of him turned out to be the master of Ming Hai, Chen Shangchuan hurriedly stood up and saluted him.

"On behalf of the people of Dongpu, thank you, sir, if the merchants of the Ming Sea came thousands of miles to Nongnai City and sent cotton cloth and herbs, the people in Nongnai City would be unable to continue." Chen Shangchuan said with a grateful face.

"But it's all for the sake of Daming." Su Langqing smiled and said.

"However, the general led a lone division to stick to Dongpu and protect my overseas people of the Ming Dynasty, which made me admire." Su Langqing said.

The banquet was also cheerful, and the generals and wealthy merchants complimented each other.

There is quite a happy atmosphere of military and commercial families.

"It's been so long, the offshore merchant fleet should be returning from Batavia, right?" During the banquet, Liu Yu suddenly asked Wuda on the side.

"If time were to be counted, the offshore merchant fleet would have returned from Batavia and should still be on its way." Uda counted the time and said.

"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded.

This time, Liu Yu also spent money to let the offshore merchant fleet go to Batavia for trade, and even let the newly formed Fuyang Town Naval Division escort it.

"I hope Zhao Tianming can bring me back good news." Liu Yu drank a glass of wine and muttered to himself.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and the generals and wealthy merchants present were all drunk.

However, Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi, who were the guests of the banquet, didn't drink much and kept sober.

After all, they had a lot of important business to discuss with the governor of Laoag tonight.

Chen Shangchuan naturally hoped that the Ming court would send troops and officials to Dongpu as soon as possible, so that the people of Dongpu would suffer one less day.

And Yang Yandi was calm, but he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

"The last general, Chen Shangchuan, Yang Yandi knocked to see the governor." After the two generals entered the official hall, they bowed to Liu Yu.

"Two of you, please. Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them.

"Both of them are loyal to my Ming Dynasty, and they don't want to be the Tartars of Jianzhou, but they go south to Annan to protect my Ming people, and their hearts can be learned, and their merits are enough to leave a name in history." Liu Yu said with emotion.

Liu Yu is not ambiguous, and he also knows that good words are not as affordable as those who are sealed and worshipped.

Chen Shangchuan was immediately ordered to be the commander of Jiading, and Yang Yandi was the commander of the Jiading Navy.

The two commanded the Jiading Marine Army and jointly commanded the defense of Jiading.

Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.

"Two, I heard that Jiading was invaded by Zhenla soldiers, but I don't know what the situation is." Liu Yu asked.

"The United States is acceptable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the grain can be self-sufficient, but Dongpu was plundered by the invasion of soldiers, the people were displaced, and this year's harvest was poor, and the grain storage in Dongpu could not last for the next year." Chen Shangchuan said with a sad face.

"Long before the two generals came to Luzon, I had already ordered Minghai to transport 30,000 stone of grain and grass to Dongpu."

"At the same time, Lu Hai purchased 100,000 stone of grain from Liangguang to Dongpu, and Yuanhai also bought 100,000 stone of rice from Siam and shipped it to Dongpu in a few days."

Liu Yu smiled and gave Chen Shangchuan a reassurance.
