Chapter 232: Recruitment

The conditions offered by Xu Bin made the wise generals present excited.

During this period, through the land and sea merchants, Midi Akira also learned about the prosperity of Luzon today.

Instead of staying in a remote country like Meidi, it is better to go to Luzon to join the Ming court.

Xue Wenjing and other generals looked at Yang Yandi, and at this moment they were just waiting for Yang Yandi to speak.

In fact, Yang Yandi had long wanted to surrender to the Luzon Ming court. Now that he saw that the generals did not object to this, he naturally nodded.

Meidi is not the Han territory after all. The Zhenla Fan people are ready to move, and Guangnan makes things difficult for him. The Ming people's life in Meidi has become increasingly difficult during this period. Instead of being afraid of the Zhenla Fan army's entry day and night, it is better to surrender directly to the Ming court and find a way out for themselves and their subordinates.

Seeing that Yang Yandi and the Ming generals present agreed, Huang Jin, who had already seen through it, just snorted coldly and never raised any objections.

Xu Bin was naturally satisfied with this. He exchanged more than 100,000 silver gifts and 30,000 stones of grain and grass for Meidi land and thousands of Ming people's troops, which was undoubtedly a good deal for the Luzon Ming court.

"Since the lord is willing to surrender to the Ming court, it is better to go directly to Haikou to meet the Duke of Qin with you." Xu Bin said with a smile.

"I'm just thinking that, I hope you can recommend it to me." Yang Yandi laughed.

"But later I still hope to go to Luzon with the help of the warships from Naval Town to meet Lord Liu Yu and King Lu." Yang Yandi said with a sincere expression.

"No problem!" Xu Bin was stunned, but remembering that Lu Hai merchants had been staying in Meidi, he must have told Yang Yandi everything about Luzon.

Obviously, Yang Yandi is not easy to fool. Yang Yandi still has some understanding of those who hold financial power in Luzon today.

"If you are willing, you can go to Luzon at any time to meet King Lu and Marquis Zhongyong." Xu Bin said.

I'm afraid even Xiao Wu didn't expect that this time the pleading was so successful, and the entire Meidi Ming people surrendered one after another in just a few days.

On the second day, Yang Yandi personally led the generals of Liwu Town and hundreds of soldiers to head south to Haikou by boat.

When Yang Yandi and his group arrived at Haikou, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Town had been waiting here for ten days.

Although the military navy had been waiting here for ten days, who would have thought that Yang Yandi actually led the Meidi tribe to surrender, which shocked the Navy Town.

It is no wonder that Xiao Wu and others were so surprised. If the Luzon Ming court wanted to surrender Midi Ming people in the past, it would probably be rejected by these self-established Ming people.

After all, if King Shan has been a long time, he will inevitably not resist the court.

But after experiencing the incidents of Zhenla invasion of Dongpu and sending troops behind Guangnan, the Midi Aki generals were also very disappointed with Guangnan.

The strong financial resources demonstrated by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and the Ming court behind it made the generals of Midi afraid and chose to surrender.

When the officers and soldiers of the Haiying camp saw that Yang Yandi personally rushed to Haikou to offer land to the Ming army, they also put down their swords and cards.

Yang Yong naturally supported Yang Yandi's surrender and immediately ordered the sea camp warship to return to the navy headquarters.

He personally escorted Yang Yandi to Xiao Wu's main ship.

At this time, Duke Li had already led the Fubo Town Navy to the north to the Jiading area, so only the Navy Town warships were left at Haikou and marching here.

Looking at the huge three-masted ships, the Ming generals on the eagle ship couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that the Luzon King's Army had such a strong naval commander." Yang Yandi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the warships in front of him. He also went south to establish his own business. He and Chen Shangchuan had to rely on Guangnan for protection. In the end, he was betrayed by Master Ruan, hid in the city and finally relied on merchants to rescue him. The Luzon Ming court actually had such powerful naval warships.

Most of the main warships of the Ming Navy seized the Spanish Galen merchant ships and Carac merchant ships, and they were converted to serve.

As the Spanish treasure ship that roams all over the world, it is naturally majestic. After installing artillery decks and new iron cannons, it has even reached the level of a Spanish third-class battleship.

At this time, soldiers had already come to report, and Yang Yandi led the generals of Liwu Town to meet.

Xiao Wu and others on the main ship were also watching on the deck.

"Congratulations, now Midi is all over the hands of his master." A deputy general of the Navy Town smiled.

Xiao Wu also looked at the eagle ship slowly rowing towards the main ship not far away with a smile.

"It would be cost-effective for the Ming court to exchange more than 100,000 taels of silver and food for Meidi and thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty." Wang Qian, a Luhai businessman, said with a smile.

For the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the Ming court’s acquisition of Jiading area means that Sihai has opened up the market in the Annan Zhenla area.

By then, the four seas will have a place to settle in Annan.

Hoi An is indeed a good harbor, but the problem is that officials in Guangnan stripped and even raised prices on the ground, and increased taxes and fees are common. Land and sea merchants have long hated Guangnan officials.

Now that Midi is taken over and even Dongpu is taken over, the ships of the Sihai Commercial Bank will set off from Luzon and cross the South China Sea and arrive directly on the coast of Jiading.

At that time, the cargo will be unloaded from the ship and transported directly to Guangnan, Zhenla and even Siam through the Kowloon River waterway.

Just as Wang Qian was thinking how much silver would be saved if the land and sea merchant ships did not leave Huian Port and arrived directly on the Jiading coast, Yang Yandi and his group had already boarded Xiao Wu's lucky ship.

"Last time, Yang Yandi, the general of Liwu Town, paid a visit to Duke Qin." Yang Yandi knelt in front of Xiao Wu and said respectfully.

Now the highest title in the Luzon Ming court is Xiao Wu.

Even Liu Yu, who held the financial power of Luzon, was just a loyal and brave marquis.

Of course, these titles were just a farce led by Xiao Wu when King Lu was restrained by Xiao Wu and pirates entered the city, hoping that the Ming people would cooperate with the pirates to resist the Spaniards together.

The Ming court today did not make King Lu the emperor, and the so-called titles were just for self-entertainment.

Now Xiao Wu's position is the admiral of the Luzon Navy, while Liu Quan is the general of Weigan Mingcheng.

After all, even Liu Yu just gave himself a position of governor.

Therefore, for Yang Yandi, Xiao Wu naturally only gave him a general position. After all, no matter how big the official is, he cannot make the decision.

"General Yang, please get up quickly." Xiao Wu walked over and helped Yang Yandi up with a loud laugh.

"You and I are both generals in the Zheng army. How can we distinguish between high and low? I really ruined me." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Today is different from the past. Now, the Lord led the Ming navy to the Duke of Qin to travel around the world, but I am only surviving in Meidi, ashamed." Yang Yandi smiled bitterly.

He was also a general of the sea. He was forced to become a pirate in the failed anti-Qing period in Guangdong and Guangxi. He plundered merchant ships and the people along the coast in the waters from Guangdong to Vietnam, namely the Beibu Gulf. Later, he surrendered to Taiwan Zheng Jing and was named the general of Liwu Town. Finally, he went into exile in Annan. It can be said that there were great ups and downs. Now when he saw Xiao Wu, who was born at the same time, he was also filled with emotion for a while.
