Following King Lu, there were also one hundred auxiliary soldiers and three hundred soldiers.

Liu Quan suppressed Wei Gan with thunder and stabilized the situation in Wei Gan.

I don’t know what method Liu Quan used to take away the command of the three hundred soldiers from the hands of the Lu.

"Sir, now we have four town naval troops. If you follow up with the training, can you compete with Shi Lang's Fujian Navy?" Liu Yu asked Xiao Wu and Xu Bin in the lobby.

Xiao Wu said nothing, Xu Bin thought about it and spoke,

"Now the Ming army naval division has four towns. The two towns have just formed a supervision and training. In addition, there are only 30 large three-masted warships in the five towns, more than 100 small and medium-sized ships, only 2,000 sailors in officers and soldiers, and only 2,000 sailors. Many warships are not enough, lack heavy artillery, and the two thousand people are mixed with pirates, local native sailors, etc., with different languages ​​and different minds.

Xu Bin's words were right, and he expressed the dilemma of the Ming army's navy, which was that there were not enough sailors, lack of training, insufficient ships, and insufficient artillery.

Each of them gave Liu Yu a headache. The large military expenditure of supporting the navy in the four towns was also a considerable expense. Now it depends entirely on Liu Yu, so Xiao Wu's attitude towards Liu Yu is much better.

"Mr. Marquis, in addition to training naval warships, we also need to speed up the construction of warships. Luzon is not short of wood, and the shipyard has a large number of shipcraft workers. If I were given time, it would be no problem to form a powerful navy." Xu Ming spoke quickly.

After all, no matter what, everything takes time.

It takes time to digest cities such as Lavague, train navy, win over the indigenous tribes in northern Luzon, and the chiefdoms also take time.

It took time for the Ming army to defend against Manila's counterattack.

Governor Juan looked at the person in front of him with a cold expression.

"They really took down the city of Lavague, under the nose of the Spanish fleet." Sir Gore sneered and glanced over the admiral beside Juan.

"It's no wonder that you Spain will fail in this era," Sir Gore said sarcastically.

"Enough." Governor Juan shouted.

Juan means to let Terry lead the fleet to avoid war. Now Terry returns to Manila City with most of the warships, which is already a blessing for Juan.

"I think you still owe me an explanation." Juan snorted coldly and looked at Sir Gore with dissatisfaction.

"We gave you the military deployment and intelligence to Mingcheng in the Spanish army. This is already a friendship between the Westerners." Sir Gore smiled.

"It's really worth it to exchange a seized merchant ship." Juan nodded.

"However, you haven't told me why you didn't hand over the exiled prince to Manila. This was what we agreed at the beginning." Juan said coldly.

"If you want to threaten an exiled army through a mascot, then you Spaniards are too naive." Sir Gore smiled and retorted.

"You are so cunning. Now Manila and the Ming army cannot live without you." Governor Juan said in a deep voice, very dissatisfied with the merchant in front of him.

"Governor Juan, don't be excited. At least the lives and safety of thousands of Spanish people in Lavague are guaranteed, and their wealth has not been embezzled by the Ming people."

"These Han people are more gentlemen than the series of vicious incidents that you Spaniards have done to the Chinese in Luzon." Sir Gore's words made Governor Juan frown.

There were not many Spanish people in Luzon, and the number of Spanish people colonized in Luzon in history never exceeded 10,000.

Most of the Spaniards who lived in Manila, this time, were captured in Lavague, except for hundreds of merchants and sailors, more than half were professional soldiers.

This also made Manila quite uneasy, which also proved that the Ming army had the ability to annihilate the Spanish army in an integrated manner.

This caused the merchants who had been worried about whether the Ming army would go south to Manila to panic.

General Terry led the fleet back to Manila, which stabilized the hearts of Manila to a certain extent.

In addition, after the Ming army took down Lavague, there was no large-scale movement.

This made Manila breathe a sigh of relief and took the initiative to withdraw from Mingcheng.

However, Sir Gore's words were also clear, and there were still thousands of Spanish prisoners at the hands of the Ming army.

How to deal with these people has become the most troublesome problem in Manila.

This time, Governor Juan invited Sir Gore, largely for the sake of these thousands of prisoners.

"If possible, I hope you, as a Manila intermediary, go to Rawag City to meet the leader of the Ming army. As long as you can release thousands of prisoners, Manila is willing to pay a certain price." Governor Juan gritted his teeth.

"Then we have to see what price Governor Juan is willing to pay. After all, that Marquis of Ming Army is not easy to deal with." Sir Gore smiled, revealing the essence of the profiteer.

"Hmph!" Juan snorted coldly and looked at General Terry with a helpless look on his face.

"In the next three years, your ships will be exempted from import and export trade in Manila by 10%."

"The deal." Sir Gore quickly agreed, fearing that Governor Juan would repent.

"What price does the respected Governor Juan want to give to the Ming army of Rawag?" asked Sir Gore.

"As long as Manila has a range, it's OK." Juan closed his eyes and nodded.

He could not care about Vigan's gains and losses, nor did he care about the fall of Lavague, but he had to save the thousands of Spanish in the city.

There are many Spanish professional army, mercenaries, merchant sailors, and all part of the Spanish colonial government.

If something really happened to them, Juan would not have to go back to Spain with a small boat. As the missionaries in Manila would hang him.

This time it was not only for thousands of Spanish soldiers and merchants, but also for himself.

"I don't think the money is enough to impress the marquis." Sir Gore suddenly spoke.

"What then he wants? The artillery on Spanish battleships will tear these cowards into pieces." General Terry said viciously.

After all, it was his escape that led to the fall of Rawag, so we naturally have to perform well now.

Sir Gore didn't even look at him, which angered the general who replaced Scott.

"Enough, General Terry." Governor Juan waved his hand.

"What do the armed forces in northern Luzon want? Could it be that they want Spain to hand over and send Manila out?" Juan said.

"If they can, they do want to do that, but the current situation makes them powerless."

"Manila sneak attacked Mingcheng and killed thousands of Chinese people. It was a traumatic loss for the Chinese armed forces. Even if they took down Lavag City, they could not make up for such losses. I believe their general would not want to continue fighting with Manila." Sir Gore analyzed.

"So what?" Juan frowned, and a bad idea came to his mind.

"Peace!" said Sir Gore.

"Impossible!" Juan flatly refused.

"The Spanish colonies must be in the hands of the Spanish." Governor Juan said in a deep voice.

"Then you wait for the arrival of reinforcements from America." Sir Gore stood up.

"At the same time, pray for thousands of fellow Rawag's compatriots, praying that they will not be cruelly tortured, as you did to the Chinese."

"Pray that Manila will not fall, that Nero and his brave and fearless indigenous soldiers can stop the madness."

"etc!"

Sir Gore's series of words finally touched Juan.
Chapter completed!
