"Sir Brent, when will the Spanish army expel the Han people outside the city?" In a delicate Western-style building in Lavague, a wealthy businessman in South China looked at the Spanish old man beside him with an angry look.

"Mr. Jagli, please bear with me, Manila will not give up on us." The Spanish official next to him replied.

"We obeyed your instructions and endured for a month. We finally drove the pirates away because of your stupidity, and who will be responsible for our losses?" The wealthy businessman in Southeast Asia smiled furiously.

"And you hanged the six captains of our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. I hope you can give me an explanation."

"Jagley, this is the land of the Spanish. Any existence that dares to provoke us will hang him." General Terry said gloomyly, and he was extremely angry at these troubled South Americans.

"Your merchant fleet leaves the port without regard to our warnings, so I naturally have the right to hang them."

"Then why don't you hang the Ming army outside the city?" The Nanyang merchants behind Yagley finally couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts and started to scold and shovate.

"Bang,"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, a Spanish lieutenant fired a gun into the sky.

A team of Spanish guards holding a medlin gun rushed in.

The rioted Nanyang merchants suddenly became quiet.

"No one can break through the city of Lavague, she is as strong as Constantinople." Sir Brent stood up and stopped the actions of the Spanish soldiers.

"The pirates cannot defeat the city of Lavag, and those Ming people cannot do it. We will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements." Brent glanced at the bearded man in front of him.

"Give us another month, and reinforcements from Manila will definitely arrive within one month."

With Sir Brent's words, the Nanyang merchants who knew that it would be meaningless to continue the trouble gradually left. After Yagley glared at Brent, he turned around and left.

Seeing the troubled Nanyang businessman gradually leaving, Brent wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Sir Brent, the city has insufficient food reserves, and the merchants on the market are raising prices, and the residents in the city can't even afford food." A Lavague livelihood official spoke.

"These wealthy businessmen are really greedy." General Terry said angrily.

"We keep saying that we will expel the Ming people who are besieging the city, but what are they doing?"

"It is the nature of a merchant." Sir Brent shook his head.

"It's not just food, but even the residents in the city have problems drinking water." The official said embarrassedly.

Sir Brent and General Terry knew that the damn Han people colluded with the indigenous tribes outside the city.

It actually poisoned the river, and a large amount of river water mixed with venom flowed into the city of Lavag.

This has made the city of Lavag, which is already a headache for food shortage, even worse.

Even sailors on the Spanish fleet have begun to limit their daily drinking of fresh water.

"General Terry, can the Spanish army break out of the port?" Sir Brent asked suddenly.

General Terry was stunned and looked at the consul in front of him with horror.

Sir Brent looked helpless,

"The Manila authorities are too busy to take care of themselves, and there will be no reinforcements coming. It is only a matter of time before the city is cut off from water and food." Sir Brent explained.

Although abandoning Lavag City made it difficult for Sir Brent and General Terry to accept.

But there seems to be a better solution.

"If you leave the port late at night, there should be no problem." After a little thought, General Terry replied.

"Transfer all the gold and silver rounds accumulated by the government and the chamber of commerce to the Garen ship, remember to do it secretly late at night." Sir Brent whispered.

General Terry sighed and nodded in agreement.

Just as the Spanish were plotting to escape, Nanyang merchants were also quarreling.

"Yagli, are you watching the six captains being hanged alive?" A middle-aged rich businessman was furious and pointed at Yagli and cursed.

Jagley just glanced at him and said coldly,

"I didn't see you so brave when I was surrounded by Spanish musketeers in the hall."

"If you are really angry, for the sake of Allah, you should donate all your property to the families of the brave warriors who sacrificed their lives."

Yagley's words made the middle-aged rich businessman speechless.

"Yagli, it is the meaning of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to let the merchant fleet leave the port. We cannot accompany the Spanish to die." A wealthy businessman said.

Obviously, the merchant fleet's secret departure that night was premeditated.

The Spaniards and the local forces in Lavague are not in a position, otherwise the city of Lavague would not have been able to hold on for only one and a half months.

"We have lost so much wealth in the past month and a half."

"Even the Spaniards began to embezzle our property blatantly."

Several wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia confided in dissatisfaction.

"It is precisely because of this that we sent a merchant fleet to test it out, right?" a merchant said with a lip.

"We do this under the noses of the Spanish, so we should bear the price." Jagli said coldly.

"Who will compensate us Nanyang people for the losses, the Spanish or those damn Han people outside the city?" The middle-aged rich businessman was very dissatisfied, and his fat body was trembling.

"No one will compensate us for our losses, and even this war may make us lose everything." Jagley glanced at the man in disgust and said to the Nanyang merchants around him.

"No, Yagley, you are the president, you must guarantee our lives." As soon as these words came out, all the Nanyang merchants were anxious.

When the pirates attacked the city of Lavague, the merchants in Nanyang were indeed panicked, and therefore they supported the local Spanish army in Lavague at all costs.

But as time goes by, especially after the pirates were unable to attack Lavag, these wealthy businessmen began to gradually show their fangs.

They controlled the grain market and rushed prices to make huge profits. In order to gain the support of merchants, local Spanish officials turned a blind eye to this, causing merchants to acquire a large amount of wealth in just over a month.

In other words, the wealth earned by local merchants in Lavague over the past month and a half is far higher than their losses.

Because they plundered the savings of a harbor city for dozens or hundreds of years.

But now, Yagley says they are about to lose everything.

This made these Nanyang businessmen who were fond of money and were anxious.

"Those Han people are not pirates. Even if they break through the city of Lavag, they will not kill all of us." An elderly wealthy businessman in South China muttered.

"Abdler, are you so confused? Even your ears are not well-informed. Don't you know what happened to Vigan?"

The Ming army's suppression of the Wei-Gansu Chamber of Commerce has long been heard by the merchants of Lavag City. Although Lavag City was blocked, the merchants still had various channels to learn about what was happening outside the city.

"Then you think the Spaniards will let us go. Don't forget that when we had six captains, eleven sailors were hanged on the dock." Jagley replied.
