This time, Liu Yu sent Su Langqing to Guangnan to do business, and Liu Yu had great expectations.

After all, attacking Qiongzhou, Guangnan is a very important link.

If the Ming court's rule in Jiading can obtain the tacit approval of Guangnan, then the logistics of the Ming court's army can be completely taken care of by Jiading, and there is no need for the Ming court to transport troops, grain and grass from Luzon Island.

After all, Luzon is too far away from Qiongzhou.

Geographically, the distance between the island of Taiwan and Luzon is much shorter than the distance between Luzon and Qiongzhou.

There are even two islands between Luzon and Taiwan, which can provide rest for the ships of the naval division.

In terms of conditions, in fact, attacking Taiwan is the best choice in terms of distance and logistical supply.

However, the Qing court's Fujian naval division had a large number of generals, and relying on the strength of the Ming court's naval division, it may not be able to defeat the Fujian naval division, so the plan to counterattack Taiwan could only be abandoned, and turned to Qiongzhou.

"My lord, the envoys sent by the English Merchant House lobbied in the hope that our Ming Court could support the East India Company." Uda hurriedly said.

"The East Indian merchants of Madras have lobbied Luzon several times in a vain attempt to drag my court into the water." Liu Yu snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with these East India merchants.

"Your Excellency the Governor, now that the commercial trade between my Ming Court and the East India Company is becoming more and more prosperous, Sir Chard is even willing to let the Ming Court open a trading house in Madras, if the Ming can give the East India Company some assistance, then my Ming trade can also enter Wolmore." Uda persuaded.

Liu Yu raised his head, looked at Wuda, and said coldly, "What do these red-haired ghosts want."

"Five warships and 300 heavily armed Ming soldiers."

At the same time, the East India Company wanted to be able to borrow 50,000 silver yuan. Uda spoke.

"Tell the employees of the East India Company of the English Merchant House that the Ming only conduct commercial trade with the East India Company and do not participate in the war, and if they need food, artillery can be purchased from the Ming Dynasty, and as for sending troops to fight for the East India Company, the Ming Court has no interest." Liu Yu flatly refused.

Uda's face was a little ugly, "My lord, our Ming court has hoped to establish a merchant house in Madras several times, so that the goods of the Ming Dynasty can enter India, and now Sir Child is willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Court sends five warships and three hundred soldiers, this battle will not be lost for the Ming Court." ”

"Wuda, the Ming court doesn't need to intervene in a war that is bound to fail, not to mention that now the Ming court also needs to prepare more manpower and material resources to attack Qiongzhou." Liu Yu shook his head.

Liu Yu naturally didn't believe Sir Child's nonsense, although he did have unparalleled strength in the South Seas East India Company at the moment, but for Ming Ting, there was no need to work for the East India Company at all.

Today, the craftsmen of the Laoag Firearms Division worked overtime to produce 30 10-pounder Tiger guns and 20 12-pounder guns for the Ming army during these days, and the latest 20-pounder Tiger heavy guns were also being trial-produced overtime.

The Laoag shipyard delivered two Tiger ships and five Fu ships to the town of Fuyang, and the Vigan shipyard also delivered ten large bird ships.

The fleet of the two towns of Fuyang of the Ming army is also basically formed, and its combat power is not inferior to that of Fuyang Qianzhen.

With this elite sailor, the Ming court did not have to fear the counterattack of the Spanish navy in Manila City.

A few days later, the Minghai fleet led by Su Langqing finally returned to the port of Laoag.

After hearing the news of the return of the fleet, Liu Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the port of Laoag to greet him personally.

"Brother Su, I haven't seen you for a few months, don't come to harm, is this trip to Guangnan good?" As soon as Liu Yu saw Su Langqing, he stepped forward with a smile and held Su Langqing's hand.

"Thanks to the love of Lord Ming, the former water master of Fuyang escorted him all the way, and there was no danger along the way." Su Langqing hurriedly said.

"Now the lord of Quang Nam Ruan is willing to make peace and trade with my Ming court."

Along the way, Su Langqing told Liu Yu in detail what he saw and heard in Guangnan on this trip.

"Lord Ruan is old, I am afraid that time is running out, his son is extraordinary, and he is willing to communicate with my Ming Court, if the Ming Court helps, Jiading can be guaranteed to be worry-free for ten years." Su Langqing said.

In Quang Nam's trip, Chinese businessmen also owe it to Nguyen Phuc Qin

Bless, this can be unimpeded all the way in Quang Nam, and finally met Lord Ruan.

"When I returned to Luzon from Guangnan, I got the news that the Jiading Ming army had begun to actively prepare for war, and it was presumably possible to conquer Qiongzhou in the near future." Xiao Wu said to Liu Yu.

"How many merchant ships does Ming Hai still have on Luzon?" Liu Yu asked.

"Lord Hui, my Minghai has 23 ocean-going merchant ships in Luzon, and another 16 ships are in Jiading and other regions of the South Seas." Su Langqing told truthfully.

"This time, since the Ming Court has already negotiated with Guangnan, Xiao Wu must be ready to send troops to attack Qiongzhou."

"The six towns of Yufan gathered a total of more than 3,000 troops and also went to Jiading a month ago, and now the Ming army urgently needs a large amount of grain and grass, firearms, gunpowder and medicines, iron, all of which need to be transported by Minghai merchant ships, and Minghai must remember his duties." Liu Yu admonished.

"I understand below." Su Langqing nodded.

Jiading, Haikou

As a tributary of the Kowloon River, the Mi Di River flows down the river from above through the entire Mei Ogi estuary.

Although the rainy season has not yet arrived, the raging river of the Migi River is still surging, and the sound of waves is coming and going.

Ships flying the battle flags of the Daming Navy Division were moored near Haikou.

In the nearby barracks, hundreds of Ming officers and soldiers were gathering in the big camp, all with solemn faces.

Xiao Wu was dressed in armor and looked at the Ming officers and soldiers in front of him.

The banner clanged in the wind, and the soldiers of the Ming army were silent, staring at the generals in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been four years since we marched south to Luzon in the 37th year of Yongli."

"We waited for the Ming soldiers to fight all the way from Luzon, defeated the Buddha Langji, defeated Zhenla, forced and Guangnan, marched all the way, captured Luzon, Jiading, and hundreds of Ming soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield." Xiao Wu looked at the Ming officers and soldiers in front of him, many familiar faces had disappeared, and for some reason, he actually felt an inexplicable pain.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to cheer up, and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

He Bin, who was on the side, took the opportunity to hand a copy of the payment to Xiao Wu.

"Hu Lu is difficult to raise, family thieves are difficult to prevent, natural disasters and people are chaotic, Da Ming is innocent, Jiashen is difficult, waving troops into the customs, pretending to beg for Kou, plotting the country, Jiangyin three slaughters, Yangjia ten slaughters, destroying my country, humiliating my wife and children, cutting off my Han hair, changing my clothes, enclosing the field and forbidding the sea, enslaving my Han people, we uphold the will of heaven, and now swear to the Northern Expedition, attack Qiongzhou, and recapture my Daming country." Xiao Wugao shouted.

"Go north to Qiongzhou, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore sight!" He Bin on the side shouted loudly when he saw this.

"Go north to Qiongzhou, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore sight!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore my Ming."

In the large camp, hundreds of Ming army generals and officers and soldiers shouted.

Han does not extinguish
