Is Rawagfu? It's undoubtedly a big mistake compared to Manila.

But as a harbor city, a large number of merchants and craftsmen live here, and the wealth accumulated by them is also greater than that of Weigan.

The Ming army cleaned up the ruins on a large scale and counted the number of wealthy merchants who died. With the precedent of the wealthy merchants in Weigan, the Ming army was familiar with the property of the merchants who died.

In just a few days, more than 100,000 Spanish silver balls, porcelain, gold and jewelry were collected from the residential cellars, secret rooms and even secret silver warehouses of major merchants, not including the various goods accumulated in the docks and warehouses.

Liu Yu generously sold jewelry and porcelain to other wealthy merchants in the city. Although he had no good impression of the Ming people, he saw the Ming army selling precious jewelry and porcelain at a price lower than the market, and the wealthy merchants in the city were still rushing to pay the money.

In a few days, he earned 80,000 silver dollars, and Liu Yu sold the goods from the port at the market price to Sihai Commercial Bank.

It happened to be far away from the sea, and merchants from land and sea were also there. Several major sea merchants bought more than 30 merchant ships at the wharf and cargo from the port at extremely favorable prices.

Liu Yu calculated and sucked Weigan's fat and cream regardless of the consequences and squeezed out 600,000 silver dollars. Although 200,000 were cheated away by the English people, there were also merchants who formed a business bank, purchased mercenaries, and the Ming army's military expenditure and daily maintenance of military ordnance, and there was only a lot of assets left.

Now that he has taken Lavague, Liu Yu has saved up more than 300,000 silver dollars.

Now Lu Hai can bring Liu Yu an objective tax every month. It can be said that the finances are still tight, but at least they will not make ends meet.

In order to avoid turmoil, the Ming army fully accepted the ruling foundation and laws in Lavague after occupying Lavague.

This has prevented Lavague from greater chaos. Now, in addition to the core areas of wealthy businessmen living, other places have gradually restored order and vitality.

Regarding the Ming army in the city, Liu Yu issued the same order as Weigan, and the soldiers of Huben Town abide by Liu Yu's orders.

Xiao Wu's Navy Town did nothing out of the ordinary under Xiao Wu's strict orders.

In addition, Liu Yu continued to transport food to Lavag, suppressed grain prices and maintained public order in the city, and the civilians of Lavag were not so resistant to the arrival of the Ming army.

In order to restore the economy, Liu Yu also reduced and waived half of the taxes for handicraftsmen in the city.

This has even increased the favorability of the residents in the city towards Ming Jun.

Although there were still many matters to be handled in the city, Liu Yu still handed over the affairs to Wuda and other Weigan officials, and he and Xiao Wu inspected the Rawag Pier and the shipyard.

Compared with the shipyard in Vigan, which can only repair merchant ships, the shipyard in Lavague can not only repair all kinds of ships, but also build large merchant ships.

Previously, Liu Yu moved all the shipmakers from Mingcheng to Weigan and began to expand the Weigan Shipyard.

This has given Weigan Shipyard the ability to build a large bird ship.

The Lavague Shipyard has hundreds of shipmakers and workers, and the scale of the shipyard is much larger than that of Weigan.

There is even a Spanish third-class battleship in the shipyard.

Prove the size of the shipyard and the technical ability of the shipmaker.

Xiao Wu and Liu Yu attached great importance to this.

Although the current Ming army navy has experienced a series of naval battles, even a large lucky ship has sunk.

However, after occupying Vigan and Lavag, the number of warships has increased to a certain extent.

By extermination of pirates, the Ming army seized roughly more than 100 pirate ships, including eleven three-masted ships.

Liu Yu purchased six armed merchant ships from the mercenaries.

After the Spaniards in Lavague surrendered, they took down eight armed merchant ships from the Spanish.

You should know that these eight armed merchant ships are all merchant ships in the hands of the Spanish, and are loaded with many heavy artillery that the Ming army is tempted by.

Basically, they are armed Galen sailboats, and the Spanish Navy also recruits these merchant ships to be responsible for coordinated operations.

For example, when Lavague was besieged by pirates, the Spanish fleet asked armed merchant ships to assist in the war. Of course, several were burned by the Ming army's arson ships.

In this breath, Liu Yu had 14 more armed merchant ships in his hands.

In addition to the five original armed merchant ships in Fubo Town, Liu Yu also had 19 large warships in his hands.

With this, Liu Yu divided Fubo Town into Fubo Zuo Town and Fubo You Town.

As for sailors, Liu Yu joined more than 100 pirates and local sailors recruited by Rawag.

Whether it is a pirate or a local sailor, Liu Yu must make the best use of it.

Xiao Wu was not willing to be outdone and formed the Navy fore Town, using pirate ships and pirates.

As for Lavag's shipyard, Liu Yu did not order them to continue building large ships.

First, there is insufficient funds, and second, the construction time is too long.

Liu Yu chose to directly select suitable merchant ships from hundreds of merchant ships in the port to transform them into warships.

Add artillery deck, add artillery cabin, and custom-made copper-skin protection for the hull.

The time to transform a ship is much less than the time to build a warship, and the cost is much lower.

Liu Yu thought about these armed merchant ships. Even if they were not good, it would be okay to fight Shi Lang's Fujian Navy.

During this period, the Ming army and the pirates seized a lot of artillery during the battle between the Spanish.

Although most of them are old-fashioned small and medium-caliber artillery and lack powerful heavy artillery, the number is indeed quite large.

Some of the lighter three-pound six-pound artillery were outside the Ming army land town.

Most of them were thrown into the water town, and these cannons could be installed on armed merchant ships.

As for the twelve-pound long cannon and above heavy cannons, Liu Yu plans to start with the East India Company.

I don’t know if the Englishman will sell it. Even if he can sell it, the price will probably cause Liu Yu to vomit blood.

After all, he is the only one who can sell more than 20 six-pound cannons at a sky-high price.

Fortunately, these red-haired guys also felt that the money was too easy to make, for fear that Ming Jun would not give them 400,000 yuan.

He took the initiative to send some artillery technicians as after-sales service.

Liu Yu refused everyone to accept this and accepted it all.

At the same time, the arrival of Western craftsmen also made Liu Yu start to let Ming military craftsmen imitate the Spanish gun carriages and gun mounts.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! These artillery mounts that can carry medium-sized artillery are crucial to the future war between the Ming army.

Now there is a dedicated person to explain the structure of the cannon cart. Through disassembly and imitate the assembly, the craftsmen have indeed successfully copied the cannon cart that can carry medium-sized cannons such as the Raikko cannon in just one month.

Although reliability, carrying capacity and manual labor are not up to the standards of Spaniards' artillery vehicles, it is enough to prove that the Ming army can do it.

Soon, this kind of four-wheeled artillery began to be promoted and used in the Ming army artillery troops.

As for muskets, the Ming army did not lack muskets, at least due to population constraints and large-scale expansion.

Weigan's firearm workshop can produce more than 100 flintlock muskets every month, especially after working with the English. With the assistance of some firearm craftsmen affiliated with the East India Company, the improvement of self-produced muskets and the imitation of Spanish flintlocks have been successful.

Now the firearms workshops belonging to the Spanish army in Lavague were taken down. These craftsmen and technicians and facilities that produced muskets and gunpowder for the Spanish have fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

He sent people from Weigan again, and Huang Youde came in person, believing that Lavague's firearm production would soon recover.

Also coming with him was King Zhu Honghuan of Lu.

This vassal king was obviously much thinner than before, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before.

When he came to Lawag Pier on the warship of Fubozuo Town, hundreds of Ming soldiers on the pier were in unison.

"Welcome King Lu into Rawag City."

Zhu Honghuan was not too happy about this scene. After seeing Xiao Wu, Liu Yu and others again, he only barely smiled.

"King Lu." Everyone saluted, and they were very courteous to the vassal king of the previous dynasty. After all, the banner of Luzon still needed this vassal king.

Several people immediately welcomed King Lu into the official residence. Because most of the original wealthy merchant houses occupied by Liu Yu were destroyed by fire, they are still under reconstruction. At the same time, they explicitly prohibited Ming generals from seizing the merchant's houses privately. Therefore, there is no good mansion for the King of Lu to live in, so they have to feel wronged that he will stay in the official residence for the time being.

Of course, as the office of Lavag officials, the decoration is also quite good, and there are also houses for officials to live and rest.

At least it is much better than Mingcheng.

Zhu Honghuan doesn't care about these things now. Mingcheng was raided by Shengfan and the Spaniards, and the entire army of Weiwu Town was wiped out and he was inseparable from him. The tragic deaths of thousands of Han people made him feel in pain.

If it weren't for the desperate efforts of several of his personal soldiers, he might have died in the chaos.

At this time, he was much more at ease, especially after seeing the morale of the Ming army in the city, although he felt gloomy, he felt much more at ease.
