Soon after the merchant fleet from the far sea arrived at the port of Laoag, a fleet of East India Company and Dutch merchants also arrived in Laoag.

While merchant ships from all over the world were moving Han Chinese to Luzon in full swing, the Ming court also summoned the East India Company and Dutch merchants.

Let the East India Company and the Western merchants of Batavia assist the Ming court in transporting grain and relocating the Han people.

As the war between the East India Company and the Wolmore Empire was in full swing.

The merchants of the East India Company, who had nothing to do, readily agreed.

The Dutch merchant shipowners in Batavia also joined the war of robbery at sea under the lure of heavy money and profits from the Ming court.

In the Luzon Ming Dynasty, the development of maritime power was relatively slow.

It was not that there was a shortage of shipyards and workers in the Ming court, but that all the shipyards were in full swing to build sailor warships.

There was not much energy to build additional civilian merchant ships.

As a result, the Four Seas Chamber had to order an additional eight large Galen ships for the open seas from the East India Company and the Dutch merchants in Batavia.

The red-haired ghost, who thought it was profitable, sold those second-hand galleons to merchants from all over the world, and made a fortune in blood.

In this regard, the merchants from all over the world gritted their teeth and could only swallow it in their stomachs.

Who told the Luzon Ming court at this time to lack everything?

There were a total of four Batavian merchant ships heading to Laoag.

Two of them were laden with sugar, which was the first wave of sugar produced by the far-sea merchants after they bought plantations in Batavia.

Due to the urgency of the war, most of the merchant ships of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce were forcibly requisitioned by the Ming court.

As a result, the high seas could only be entrusted to Dutch merchant shipowners.

Some will be sold in the three counties of Luzon, while others will be secretly sold to Manila.

The excess part will be sent to Qiongdao by the Far Sea Chamber of Commerce, and transported to Annam by land and sea in batches, and sold in Guangzhou.

The other two merchant ships were laden with weapons purchased by the Ming court towards Batavia.

It includes an arquebus, 200 Western swords and 200 spears, barrels of gunpowder, and 2,000 catties of copper and wrought iron.

On the one hand, the purchase of these equipment from Batavian merchants was due to the large-scale expansion of the Ming army, and the island's armament production capacity was insufficient, so it had to buy arms from Westerners in the South Seas.

The second is to increase the connection between the Minting and the Dutch people in Batavia.

During this period, the Ming court had been increasing overseas trade between the East India Company and Batavia.

To a large extent, it is to strengthen a close connection with the various forces in the South Seas.

After all, the Spaniards in Manila are a bit of a goofy these days.

If reinforcements from the Spanish mainland arrive in Manila.

Then the Ming court was bound to fight the Spaniards in south-central Luzon.

By that time, the support of the English and Dutch was quite important.

Therefore, Ming Ting couldn't wait to pull these red-haired ghosts from the South Seas to his side.

Shortly after the arrival of the Dutch merchant fleet, another East India fleet also arrived at Laoag.

This time, the East India Company's merchant fleet was unusually large, with a total of 16 merchant ships.

Even Uda, who managed the port of Laoag, was stunned by the sheer size of the merchant fleet.

"Long time no see, my friend." As soon as Anderson set foot on the land of Laoag Harbor, he walked towards Uda with a happy face.

This time, Anderson, as the plenipotentiary sent by Minting to the East Indies, was away for nearly half a year.

"God, how much cargo have you brought from the East Indies?" Uda glanced at the port's massive fleet with a shocked expression.

You know, since the establishment of the port of Laoag, there have not been so many large Western ships arriving at the same time?

"Nothing, it's all something the Governor desperately needs." Anderson laughed.

Soon, groups of Ming soldiers appeared neatly on the dock.

Look at these armed firearms, waists

Ming officers and soldiers with long knives.

Wuda's face couldn't help but change, and even the Ming officers and soldiers of Huben Town came.

I remember that the last time Ming officers and soldiers arrived at the dock, it was to escort the thousands of Qing prisoners of war.

"In less than half a month, the Ming army has blockaded the port of Laoag twice, how can you let me, the master of the port, explain to the merchants." Wu Da looked at the chief flag officer of Huben Middle Town in front of him with a resentful expression.

The chief flag officer clenched his fists with a smile on his face and apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Wu, I acted as ordered."

Although Wuda is a fan, he is a popular person next to the governor, and he is a general flag officer, so he does not dare to be arrogant in front of Wuda.

Soon, groups of brown-skinned people were driven to the docks by English sailors on merchant ships.

They were dressed in a variety of costumes, including military uniforms, sailors' uniforms, and even the clothing of ordinary people.

"By order of the Governor, three hundred and twenty officers and men were purchased from Wolmore, including artillerymen, twenty sailors, and three hundred craftsmen."

Hearing this, Uda gasped.

No wonder the Ming army blockaded the entire port, feeling that this was from the smugglers of the Wommore Empire.

"The Governor has long been interested in this war and has entrusted me to the East Indies in search of suitable immigrants." Anderson looked at Uda and smiled.

Uda did hear about this, but he didn't expect that the Governor would really take action.

"Don't underestimate these soldiers and sailors." Anderson pointed to the scrawny, bloodless Wolmore man beside him and spoke.

"These are the warriors of the Wolmore Empire who were captured by our East India Company sailing ships in battle."

"These soldiers are very experienced, most of them are proficient in the use of firearms, and the gunners are even skilled in handling falcon cannons, and I have spent a lot of time walking up and down the East India Company, and I have entrusted a lot of connections to bring these prisoners of war."

"These sailors were also sailors in the Wolmore fleet, and they had a lot of experience in sea navigation, and many of them came to Luzon on their own volition."

After hearing this, Wu Dafang suddenly realized.

Since the establishment of the county in Dongning, the number of cultivators in Luzon has increased dramatically, and the demand for farmers is not very urgent today.

On the contrary, it is the craftsmen with a skill, the sailors have always been in desperate need of the harbour cities of Laoag and Vigan.

Now, with the East India Company and the Wolmore Empire, the Ming court was profitable.

Among these Wommores, Uda even saw ten red-haired ghosts.

"They were all craftsmen and sailors working in the East Indias, and I had recruited them to Laoag." Anderson said with a smug face when he saw this.

"Looks like you really have Luzon as your home." Uda sighed.

"Of course, we're all Ming people, aren't we?" Anderson said with a natural expression.

At this time, the Ming army began to skillfully count the people on the dock, and the officers and gunners among them would be taken away directly by the Ming officers and soldiers.

Craftsmen, sailors, etc., were handed over directly to the local government of Laoag.

Of course, these people also need to be quarantined in the suburbs of Laoag for half a month, during which their clothes will be burned, spirits sterilized, and so on.

The Governor General has done quite well in preventing the epidemic in Luzon.

The English merchant fleet remained in Laoag for more than ten days before heading north.

This time, they were once again entrusted by the Ming court to go to Qiongzhou and Liangguang to transport the local Han people.
