Chapter 255: Su Langqing's Worries
Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi did not stay in Luzon for a long time, and after receiving the reward from the Ming court, Chen and Yang immediately returned to Jiading by boat.
The Fubo Town Water Division led by Li Du also returned to Jiading together, and the Northern Expedition was imminent, and the Ming Army Water Division naturally had to go to Jiading to assemble.
Not long after the warships of Shuishi Town left Laoag City, Su Langqing personally led the Ming Hai merchant fleet to Hoi An.
"Lord Wu, this time I went to Hoi An, Quang Nam, I am afraid that it will take two or three months to go back and forth, and all the affairs of entering and exiting the Laoag seaport depend on the adults." On the wharf, Su Langqing went to Wuda Road.
The port of Laoag has always been the center of Luzon's opening to the outside world, with dozens of large ships plying with the port every month.
The entry and exit of ships in the port and the trade of goods were all entrusted to Liu Yu's cronies Wuda and Su Langqing.
The two also represent the Ming court officials, the Lawag natives, and the Four Seas Trading Firm.
"Lord Su, this time I went to Quang Nam to meet Lord Ruan of Quang Nam, during which the ministers of Quang Nam will definitely make things difficult in every way, but it is difficult for Lord Su." Wuda looked at the sailing merchant ship of the Ming Sea and said to Su Langqing.
"It's all for the Ming Court, but you, as an official of the Ming Court, are also a celebrity around the governor, and now the contradiction between the Ming Court and the Fan people is becoming more and more serious, I don't know how Lord Wu should choose." Su Langqing's expression was quite relaxed, and he didn't look at Wuda and asked.
After all, now due to the slave restriction order and the Ming court's intention to take away the land in the hands of the nobles of the Shengfan Princely State, the relationship between the Princely State and the Ming Court has begun to become tense these days.
Even the indigenous princely states of Irook, who had always been obedient to the Ming court, began to stir up.
The landlords of the local societies were also full of complaints, and even refused to pay taxes in protest.
"I, the Ilok clan, will definitely not rebel against the Ming Court." Uda said flatly.
Wuda was originally an Iroque, and an official of Laoag Port during the Spanish colonial period, thanks to hugging the thigh of the Ming Court and making great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Court, he became a celebrity around Liu Yu.
But after all, he was just a fan, and he was naturally excluded from the upper-level officialdom of the Ming court, which was dominated by Han bureaucrats.
Su Langqing deliberately reminded him.
Now the Ming court wants to send troops to Qiongzhou, the naval warships gathered along the coast of Jiading, and the civil and military officials of the Ming court all looked at the area of Annam and ignored the safety of Luzon.
It can be said that Luzon Island is not peaceful, and there are also undercurrents surging secretly.
Most of the generals of the Luzon Ming army were sent out, and in case of turmoil in the princely states under the Ming court, I am afraid that the Luzon Ming army would not be able to suppress it.
Su Langqing hoped that Uda, as an Elok official, would appease the natives of Luzon.
Jiading, Meidi City
During this period of time, Xiao Wu and the officers and soldiers of the Marine Battalion of Shuishi Town have been staying in Meidi City.
Since Yang Yandi left, Xiao Wu has taken over the military and political power of Mei Di.
Unlike Dongpu, after Chen Shangchuan went to Luzon, Dongpu was handed over to the deputy general Chen Anping to command.
After Yang Yandi left, Meidi City was already in charge of Huang Jin and Xue Wenjing, who knew that Xue Wenjing had already taken refuge in Xiao Wu and obeyed Xiao Wu's orders.
Many generals in Liwu Town also submitted to the Ming court under the bewitchment of Xiao Wu's high-ranking officials.
In Meidi City, in the big tent of the Ming army, Xiao Wu was sorting out the properties and household registration of Meidi during this time.
"According to your lordship's orders, 50,000 stone of military rations have been sent to Dongpu this month, and General Chen Anping has received Meidi to transport grain." Huang Jin walked into the big tent and reported to Xiao Wu.
"Not bad, not bad." Xiao Wu nodded.
"Thanks to General Huang's opening of the Meidi granary, 50,000 stone of military rations can be transported from Meidi to relieve the victims of the Dongpu disaster!" Xiao Wu laughed.
"Now that I, the United States, have all returned to the Ming Court of Luzon, the generals naturally want to serve the Ming Court." Huang Jindao.
"During this time, not only Zhenla, even Guangnan is eyeing the Ming Court, I received news that a large number of Guangnan warships suddenly appeared in the Zhancheng area, and I have ordered Xu Bin to lead the naval division to go to the Zhancheng sea area to resist the attack of the Guangnan naval division." Xiao Wudao.
"Guangnan dares to violate our Meidi border, and my Meidi coastal defense battalion can also fight, I don't know where General Yang Yong is now?" Huang Jindao.
"General Yang Yong is in Haikou, and he has already set off with the officers and soldiers of Shuishi Town." Xiao Wudao.
"My lord, Guangnan is menacing this time, relying only on the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, I am afraid it will not be enough to resist the attack of Guangnan, if it is better to let the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town go to Haikou to deploy defenses." Xue Wenjing, the general of Liwu Town on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"General Xue, if you lead the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town to Haikou to set up defenses, then what should the defense of Meidi City be?" Huang Jin frowned and asked after hearing this.
"Yes, General, what if Zhenla offends during this time?" A general also stepped forward to dissuade him.
"It doesn't matter, this Meidi has me Xiao Wu in charge, and General Huang leads the two battalions on the left and right to be stationed, and I don't think Zhenla will dare to violate the border." Xiao Wu shook his head and said with a smile.
"Xue Wenjing of Liwu Town listened to the order and ordered you to immediately lead a thousand troops into Haikou to prevent Guangnan from attacking." Xiao Wu ordered.
"The last general commands." Xue Wenjing hugged his fists.
Huang Jin's face on the side gradually became gloomy.
After walking out of the big tent, Huang Jin angrily rushed towards the second battalion on the left and right.
"Li Gui, get out of here." Huang Jin shouted.
In the big tent, a Guangnan man walked out to greet him with a smile.
"Didn't you say that the Lord of Quang Nam Nguyen wants us to stand on our own feet in the United States, why would Quang Nam send troops to the coast of Jiading." Huang Jin said angrily.
Li Gui was stunned, he really didn't know about this matter.
I remember that before leaving Quang Nam, Le Gui asked Nguyen Youjing if Quang Nam would send troops to intervene, and remembered that Nguyen Youjing had promised that Quang Nam would not send troops until the rebellion of the United States Didong Po.
Could it be that the lord of Quang Nam Ruan was worried that he would not succeed in sowing discord, so he specially sent sailors to the coast of Jiading to deter the Ming people.
"My lord, this is a godsend for us." Wang Chen, the general of the left and right battalions, spoke.
"Yes, now Xiao Wu ordered Xue Wenjing to lead a thousand officers and soldiers from Liwu Town to Haikou to set up defenses, then only our left and right battalions and the Ming Army's Marine Battalion will be left and outside the city." Another general also spoke.
"Presumably, the Lord of Quang Nam Nguyen has learned that General Huang will raise troops to rebel against the Ming court in the near future, so he sent a naval division to assist the general." Although Li Gui didn't know, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain that it was important to save his life now.
"Then congratulations, my lord, the officers and soldiers of the Marine Battalion of the Ming Army's Navy Division are only three hundred, and the two battalions on the left and right will be one thousand, and when Xue Wenjing leads the troops out of the city, the Lord will immediately lead the two battalions on the left and right to control the whole city, annihilate the Ming army in the city, and capture Xiao Wu." Seeing this, Li Gui hurriedly said.
"Yes, my lord, it's a godsend!" Several generals chimed in.
"You immediately contact the eyeliner in Liwu Town, and report to me immediately when the officers and soldiers of Liwu Town leave the city." Huang Jin instructed a general.
