The generals present were all silent.

Not to mention anything else, now the marine battalion can be described as a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself, so how can it talk about sending troops to rescue Xiao Wu?

What's more, now that the Ming army knows nothing about the situation in the city, Xiao Wu's life and death are unpredictable.

"The whole army of the Marine Battalion is assembled and sent troops to attack Migi Castle." Seeing that the Ming generals present were speechless, Wang An ordered.

"There are nearly 1,000 mercenaries in the left and right battalions, and they have already controlled the whole city, and our army is only 300 people, and a rash attack is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone." Lin Ji, deputy general of the Marine Battalion, persuaded.

Seeing that Wang An insisted on sending troops, Lin Ji leaned into Wang An's ear and whispered: "If Lord Xiao happens to be captured by the rebels, he will definitely be killed."

Vice President Qian's words finally dissuaded Wang An.

"Now, what we should do is to send the news of the rebellion of the left and right battalions back to Haikou, and notify the officers and soldiers of Shuishi Town to come back to quell the rebellion." Lin Ji looked at the Ming army generals present and spoke.

"We've sent five groups of men to ask for help, if it's by the waterway. It is estimated that the news will be transmitted back to Haikou in about five days. A co-ordinator said.

"It will take at least half a month for the army to return to Meidi City to quell the rebellion after learning the news, and this is still under the condition of taking the waterway day and night."

Migi Castle is located on the banks of the Miti River, and the waterways are convenient throughout the territory.

In addition to nurturing water and soil, it is also conducive to the rapid mobility of small troops.

Although there is still some distance from the coast, taking the waterway will undoubtedly greatly shorten the time to march.

This is undoubtedly a blessing in misfortune for the officers and men of the Marine Battalion who are trapped in Migi Castle.

Port of Laoag

After months of sailing, the fleet led by Zhao Tianming finally returned to the port of Laoag in Luzon.

After entering the port, Zhao Tianming immediately went to the Governor's Mansion with Wang Zhu to meet Liu Yu.

"The little people have seen the Governor." After Zhao Tianming entered the official hall, he saluted Liu Yu.

"Mr. Zhao, is this trip to Batavia okay?" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Thanks to the great love of the Ming Dynasty, this trip to Batavia was smooth sailing, and the governor of Batavia was willing to trade with Luzon." Zhao Tianming hurriedly handed over the letter to Liu Yu.

The script is written in two languages, Dutch and Kanji.

Liu Yu naturally understands the Chinese translation.

"So, this governor of Batavia is happy to have the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce go to Batavia to establish a merchant house?" Liu Yu glanced at Zhao Tianming and said with a smile.

In the letter, the governor of Cambrook praised the Ming court's feat of revolting against the Spanish atrocities, and did not reject the Ming court's trade demands.

However, the governor of Cambrook wanted the maritime trade between Luzon and Batavia to be confined to the private sector.

The letter hoped that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would establish a trading hall in Batavia, and even let Chinese businessmen settle in Batavia for trade.

"Lord Governor, the four seas are the four seas of the Ming court, and if you let the four seas enter Batavia to establish a merchant house, isn't it just to let the Ming court enter Batavia?" Wang Zhu on the side said with a smile.

"Since the governor of Batavia has invited you to establish a merchant house in Batavia, let the far sea be in charge." Liu Yu put down the letter and said casually.

"Master Xie." Zhao Tianming and Wang Zhu were overjoyed in their hearts, and joy jumped on their faces.

"What is the situation of the Chinese in Batavia? You told me that Zeng Qilu was also an anti-Qing righteous man, and it was also your idea to send the far sea to Batavia to contact the Chinese this time, wasn't it? Liu Yu looked at Wang Zhu and asked. …

"The Chinese in Batavia welcomed the arrival of the Four Seas Firm, but they were not willing to submit to the Luzon Ming court." Zhao Tianming said.

In the following time, Zhao Tianming explained the situation in Batavia to Liu Yu 1510.

"It seems that the Dutch man is much smarter than the Spaniard." After hearing that the governor of Batavia had appointed Chinese businessmen to participate in government affairs, Liu Yu sneered.

He naturally did not believe that the rulers of Batavia would delegate power to Chinese merchants.

What is Jiapitan, at best, it's just a dog's leg.

"Your Excellency the Governor, no matter what, this Chinese merchant in Batavia is always a force that our Ming Court can win over."

"What's more, Jiapitan also made it clear that the Ming court in Luzon was the biggest reliance of Chinese businessmen in Batavia." Zhao Tianming hurriedly said.

"In that case, then the contact with the Chinese businessmen in Batavia will be entrusted to Mr. Wang Zhu of the Far Sea." Liu Yu looked at Wang Zhu and said.

After Wang Zhu and Zhao Tianming glanced at each other, he spoke, "I heard that the Ming Court intends to go on an expedition to Taqing. ”

The news that the Ming court was going on an expedition north was no secret for a long time.

It's not a big deal for the two of them to say it at the moment.

"Now that the Ming Court has settled in Jiading, I want to take advantage of Jiading to take the sea route and expedition to Qiongzhou." Liu Yu told the truth.

"If this is the case, I am willing to pay 200,000 taels of silver as military salaries, and at the same time allocate 20 ocean-going ships and 1,000 sailors to participate in the northern expedition." Zhao Tianming said.

"Yuanhai can be said to be loyal to my Daming." Liu Yu looked at the two people in front of him and sighed.

"Last year, the taxes of the far sea accounted for half of the four seas, and this year, the far sea is willing to provide 200,000 taels of silver for the northern expedition of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Yu hurriedly stood up, laughed and shook the hand of Zhao Tianming, the director of the far sea.

"These days, my Ming court has been fighting everywhere, so that the people have lost money, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is even more exhausted, and today I have sent 200,000 taels of silver to my Ming Dynasty to fill the military, which is really worthy of being the representative of my Ming Chinese businessmen!" Liu Yu said.

Suddenly, Uda trots

^0^ Remember for a second

entered the official hall and quietly muttered a few words in Liu Yu's ear.

"The two of you have a long sea journey to Batavia this time, so let's go back and rest first, and from now on, all the maritime trade related to Batavia will be handed over to the open sea." Liu Yu said.

The two of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them and retreated.

"Where are the troops?" Liu Yu took a sip of tea and said.

"My lord, the brave former town led by Talu has arrived outside the city of Laoag." Uda Road.

"Let the soldiers of Xiaoyong Town be stationed in the barracks of Huben Town, and as for Ta Lu, let him come to see me immediately." Liu Yu commanded.

After Liu Quanna got the news of going north, Talu went north to Laoag non-stop.

It took the army ten days to reach the outskirts of Laoag.

"General Wang said goodbye to the last time Weigan, and I haven't seen him for more than a year." He smiled and stepped forward towards Wang Tongtao.

"I heard that General Wang was injured in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. On the way to the South Sea, a hidden disease broke out, and he recuperated in Rawag, and the last general specially brought some local medicine from the tribe to cure the general's hidden disease. Talu motioned for a soldier to bring boxes of herbs.

"Thank you, General Talu, it's just a minor illness, it's not a big deal." Wang Tong couldn't help but be happy when he saw this.

"Now General Wang is the chief soldier of Huben Town, and the most elite Wang Division of the Ming Dynasty is under the command of the general, and it is really an honor for the last general to serve the adults." These days, he has practiced Chinese diligently, and he speaks it neatly.

"When the last general led his army north, he saw the various walled cities along the way, and the battalions of the Ming Society gathered to the north, so many troops gathered in Laoag, what was the intention of the governor." Talu said softly.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
