Chapter 182 Minglu
"You think it's irrelevant to prepare warships and artillery for the Ming Dynasty Navy." Uda glared.
"Today, Chinese businessmen came here to discuss the construction of a museum with Nanyang merchants. Lord Liu Yu personally supervised it. If Lord Liu Yu thinks that the Ming court officials can bear this position, please." Zhaozhou was also an old man and moved out of Liu Yu's mountain directly. Wu Da immediately shut up.
"Nanyang merchants can naturally live in towns such as Lavag and Vigan, but they need to accept the Ming law. If the Nanyang merchants and their families and their servants violate the law in the jurisdiction of the Ming court of Luzon, they must be handed over to the government for trial." Zhaozhou said.
"This?" Anderson looked puzzled.
The establishment of a shopping mall in Nanyang in Luzon was to facilitate the residence and trade of merchants who were doing business in Luzon. What we had to follow was naturally the laws of Nanyang. Now it would be difficult to get Nanyang merchants to accept Minglu in Lavague.
Anderson was also speechless. Nanyang merchants would never accept this.
"Since you have come to the Ming Dynasty, you must accept the laws of the Ming Dynasty." Su Langqing looked at Anderson and said coldly.
Several Nanyang merchants looked at each other. In the past, they heard that Luzon's fellow merchants said that the Ming people in Luzon were very weak. When the merchant fleet came to Luzon, they would pay silver for goods even if they offered sky-high prices. Why were Ming people so tough today?
Su Langqing smiled faintly. If he had said this to these red-haired ghosts in the past, these red-haired ghosts would have long since turned over the table and left.
It seems that Lord Liu Yu is right, and the South Americans really have a request for the Ming people.
Liu Yu naturally knew why Nanyang people came to Lavague to open a shopping mall, and it didn't open early or late, but it was at this time.
The Ming court had already gained a foothold in northern Luzon at this time, and the development of towns such as Lavag was also booming, with the trend of being the third largest city in Nanyang, so Nanyang merchants naturally set their sights on this place.
But the Ming court is not the Weigan Ming court who was the poor beggar who asked for help everywhere.
Now the Ming court, who controls most of the territory of Luzon, naturally has this confidence.
However, the Nanyang merchants are not as arrogant as before.
Of course, at this time, the two sides are still arguing, mobilizing warships to deal with the war.
"Sir, the businessmen of Nanyang Company hope to have their own court when they arrived in Macau," Anderson gritted his teeth.
Zhao Zhou shook his head. Although he didn't know where Liu Yu's confidence came from, out of his conviction and surrender to Liu Yu, Zhao Zhou still insisted that Nanyang merchants applied the laws of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon.
"If a Nanyang businessman violates the law in Luzon, if the other party associated with him is a Shengfan, then Nanyang law is applied and handed over to the Nanyang company for trial. If the other party is a Ming person, then it can be handed over to the Luzon government for disposal." A Nanyang businessman spoke and said a compromise plan.
Seeing that the Ming people did not respond, Anderson said: "The Nanyang merchants living in Lavag are responsible for the commodity taxation of the Nanyang merchants living in Lavag, and the Nanyang merchants living in Lavag pay the corresponding rent."
At this time, Su Langqing nodded. It was already very good to force the Nanyang people to do this.
Wuda, who was beside him, frowned after hearing this, but he didn't say anything.
Afterwards, the matter was nothing more than discussing the number of Nanyang merchants and families who came to Lavague and the place to live, as well as the scale of Nanyang merchant ships entering Lavague Harbour every year.
When Sihai and Nanyang merchants were discussing the construction of the museum, Minghai's fleet to Annan had already crossed the Babuyan Strait.
For several days, the sea was filled with sunny weather. In order to ensure safety, the Minghai merchant ship chose to cross the Dayu Islands and then head to Annan.
In the waters of Dayu Islands, warships in Nashi Town can also provide escort protection to Minghai.
This also relaxed the Ming sailors and soldiers on the ships.
Erya leaned on the deck and looked at the endless sea. Except for the last time he was tied to Luzon, this was the first time he saw the sea.
Therefore, everything felt extremely fresh. Several Ming army's big bird boats were escorting outside, while the eight lucky ships in Minghai were sailing in the shape of a wild goose under the escort of several big bird boats.
Erya stood on the deck and looked at the majestic Ming army's big bird boats were shaking the waves, guarding the lucky ships in the fleet like sword guards.
Not far away, a similar-shaped blessed ship sailed toward it, which looked even larger than the big bird ship.
It's like an eagle meeting a sparrow.
On the deck of the lucky ship not far away, a young man of his age was also standing on the deck, leaning against the bronze cannon with one hand, carrying a musket with the other hand, and looking at the sea with deep eyes.
This is not the first time Lin Xu, who is about the same age as Erya, has gone to sea.
This time, the Ming court dispatched personnel from Lu Town and Shui Town to serve as guards of the merchant fleet, and Fubo General Town naturally also dispatched some personnel.
But the difference is that Lin Xu is now the chief executive of the Land War Association of Fuboqian Town.
The Ming army's military merit promotion system promoted a group of grassroots officers of the Ming army who were good at fighting, such as Lin Xu and Li Liu.
The salty and wet sea breeze blew on Lin Xu's dark face. He chewed the tobacco leaves and also looked at the blessed ship not far away.
"Chief Assistant, this trip is not only our Fubo Water Town, but also Huben Town has sent elite soldiers and strong generals." A young soldier of an equal age walked up and pointed to the lucky ship approaching.
"What about Huben Town? Just a group of land ducks on the land. It's still our Fubo Town Land War Associate on the sea." Zhao Shen said disdainfully.
"That's it." Several young men agreed.
"I have been a soldier for only a few months now, and I have despised this and that." Lin Xu smiled.
"You guys dreamed of entering Huben Town. If it weren't for the newly built recruits of new recruits in Fubo Town, you would have to enter Huben Town even if you were traitors." Lin Xu cursed with a smile.
He also clearly remembered that during the battle of Mingcheng, the Ming army in Weiwu Town, Huben Town fought bloody battles between Spain and Shengfan coalition forces, and the Ming soldiers holding muskets and wearing long swords on their waists.
It was only one year before, Lin Xu shook the self-generated musket in his hand and looked at the lucky ship not far away.
"This trip to Annan, the Fubo Land War Association cannot lose its momentum. Let the colleagues see the courage of the young man in the Ming Dynasty." Lin Xu shouted.
On the fifth day, the big bird boat from Nashi Town finally returned to sail, and eight Minghai Fu ships sailed towards Annan together.
Life on the sea is always boring. Even if people who have never boarded a boat will always have longing for a longing when they see the endless sea, but after a long and half a month, they will become boring and boring when the beautiful scenery remains unchanged.
In addition, sometimes it is stormy, sometimes it is scorching, and the poisonous sun is exposed. Except for coming out in the early morning and evening for some breathing, the officers and soldiers of the Lu Town of Mingjun hid in the cabin for most of the time.
The soldiers of Fubo Town are naturally much better. The officers and soldiers of the Water Town who have long been used to living at sea are diligent. In addition to maintaining their vigilance on weekdays, they also have a lot of trivial matters.
