"What the Governor thinks, I don't know." Wang Tong said with a smile.

Talu also smiled, his eyes constantly looking at the city defenses of Laoag.

This sight made him even more frightened.

The huge city walls are stacked with bronze cannons.

On the nearby hills, artillery battalions and coastal fire defense cannons of the Ming army were also arranged.

When the Ming army attacked the city of Laoag and expelled the Spaniards, Talu led the Tagalu people to rush to the front.

Therefore, the artillery of the Spaniards defending the city was extremely impressive.

But now the city of Laoag that he sees is several times more firearms than when it was occupied by the Spaniards, and from time to time a team of Ming men and horses shuttles through the official road.

Not to mention Talu, the original rebelliousness on the faces of the generals behind him disappeared, and they looked at Laoag City with a solemn expression.

There are no firearms troops in Xiaoyong Town, but it doesn't mean that these students haven't seen the Ming army's firearms.

To say that the people of Luzon are not afraid of the Great Ming Gun, but artillery.

In Mingcheng, when Xiaoyong Town fought with the Tubang people who did not accept the rule of the Ming court, whenever the Ming army's artillery rang out, the Tubang soldiers would be frightened and fled.

The fragile bamboo village, the bamboo building was beaten to pieces under the artillery of the Ming army.

"General, the Governor has allowed the General to enter the city." A general defending the city stepped forward and spoke.

"All the soldiers of Xiaoyong Town are stationed in the barracks of Huben Left Town in the suburbs." The general defending the city added.

"What do you mean?" A general looked at the defending general in front of him with an unkind face.

"Let's go to the barracks of Huben Zuo Town immediately." He Lu turned his head and glared at the Fanren general, he used a language, so the Ming generals present did not understand.

"Xiaoyong Town, let's camp under our military tent first, and I will handle everything." Wang Tong said with a smile.

"Then please general." Talu hurriedly followed the Iron Man soldiers who rushed to the gate of the city to the governor's palace.

There was naturally a distance from the city gate to the governor's palace, and sitting in the carriage, he glanced out into the street from time to time.

I have to say that the streets of this Laoag are much more prosperous and luxurious than the cold shop streets of Mingcheng.

The wooded lanes lining the streets shade the sun, and the hawkers are constantly shouting in the dark corners.

Beyond the forest road are rows of restaurant shops.

All kinds of people shuttled through it, including Chinese merchants dressed in fine clothes, foreign merchants with high noses and red hair, and more local civilians dressed in different clothes.

Occasionally, a group of Ming officers and soldiers in armor and armed with firearms and swords patrolled the side of the street.

"Your Excellency, you have arrived at the Governor's Palace." An officer said.

"Good, good."

At this time, he was already shocked and speechless, and hurriedly said yes.

The Governor's Palace, Talu is naturally no stranger, after all, it is the official residence of the Governor of Laoag, and it is occupied by Liu Yujiu.

When the Ming army attacked the city of Laoag, they used the power of pirate mercenaries to fight the Spaniards in the city.

And the pirate mercenaries also wreaked havoc on the buildings and houses in the city.

As a result, Laoag has also undergone more than half a year of reconstruction.

Of course, during the reconstruction period, the Ming court also forcibly seized a large area of land that originally belonged to the wealthy merchants in the city.

Wuda had also advised Liu Yuzhong to establish a prosperous governor's palace.

But Liu Yu refused on the grounds that he was working hard and hurting money, after all, Liu Yu is not very happy, he is a pragmatist, and he can use the mansion or something.

"The last general, Talu, will come to the Governor." He Lu was in the official hall, and as soon as he saw Liu Yu, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

In fact, in the Ming court, Liu Yu had already abolished the kneeling ceremony.

Neither soldiers nor merchants of the Ming army were required to kneel when they saw officials.

Liu Yu, who has a modern soul, naturally hates this set of monarch and courtesy.

Therefore, Liu Yu deliberately pretended to use the Western etiquette of the Westerners to veto the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers to bow down.

This was basically unanimously approved in the Ming Court.

The generals of the Ming army, who don't know a single big character on weekdays, how do you know what is called the etiquette of monarchs and ministers?

As for the Chinese merchants in Luzon, they have been dealing with the Spaniards for a long time, so they naturally accept the foreigners' set.

As for civil officials, I'm sorry, Liu Yu really can't see that a Laoag indigenous official like Wuda can understand what Confucianism is.

"General Talu, please get up quickly." Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"The last time I said goodbye to Laoag, I haven't seen him for more than a year." Liu Yu said.

"Back to the Governor's words, two years and three months." He smiled invariably.

Liu Yu patted Ta Lu on the shoulder, "Transferring Xiaoyong Town from the border Ming City to the Rawag King City, along the way, do the soldiers have any complaints?" ”

"The army that the Governor has ordered to garrison the royal city of Laoag will be treated in the same way as the soldiers of Huben Town. All the officers and men of our brave town cheered, and even the speed of the march was much faster than usual. Talu hurriedly said.

"That's very good." Liu Yu nodded.

"I have ordered someone to prepare a mansion for you and several generals in the town of Laoag, and I have purchased a manor for the general in the suburbs, and I ask the general to laugh." Liu Yu said softly.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you for the love of the Governor." ”

Don't say moved, that's fake.

In the area of Weigan and Mingcheng, Liu Quan has always been known for his strict management of the army.

Whether it is the generals of the Ming army or the generals of the Fanren, they basically can't get any oil and water.

Therefore, if the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty on the border wanted to live a decent life, they all relied on military merits.

Naturally, he is not bad for money, but he is not as rich as those wealthy merchants from all over the world.

Not to mention the generals of Fanzhen under him.

"I heard from my uncle that General Talu knew how to fight well, opened up territory for me in the south, and appeased many princely chieftains, and heard that the general was wounded by more than ten knives and arrows. Liu Yu said.

"This is a matter within the general's share, fighting for the Ming Court, and it is not a pity for the final general to die." He Lu hugged his fists.

"I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of Mingcheng, and the princely states in the area from Mingcheng to Banggui are all under your jurisdiction, how." Liu Yu said with a smile.

When he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked, "Thank you, Lord Governor." ”

Of course, at this time, most of the towns in the area from Mingcheng to Banggui were still under the rule of the Spaniards, and Manila was bounded by Banggui to Mingcheng when the armistice was negotiated.

Liu Yu thought about it these days, instead of losing a large number of Ming soldiers to the southern conquest of the Tufan chieftaincy, it was better to allow him Lu a position as a general soldier and let him take care of the southern territory.

Wei Gan also has his uncle Liu Quan guarding him, and with Liu Quan's deterrence, presumably he Lu will not have any dissenting intentions.

"I heard that the Ming court will march north to Taqing, and we and other brave town soldiers are willing to be the vanguard and recover the mountains and rivers of the homeland for my Ming Dynasty."

He Lu is not a fool, Liu Yu has given him so many benefits, what he wants to do, he Lu is naturally clear.

"Haha, good, good." Liu Yu said with a smile.

"The soldiers of Xiaoyong Town have this heart, I am very happy." Liu Yu is very satisfied with this.
