Chapter 101 Going north to Lavag
This edict of more than 100 words is now being presented to Liu Yu.
"It seems that King Lu is determined to negotiate with these Frangians." Liu Quan put down the edict and sighed.
"Sir, do we accept this edict or not?"
"Receive." Before Liu Quan could speak, Liu Yu took the lead in accepting the edict.
The generals present looked at each other in surprise.
"We are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and King Lu issued an edict to us, we will naturally accept it." Liu Quan nodded and affirmed Liu Yu's proposal.
"I guess King Lu also issued the same edict to Lord Xiao of Lavag, and Xiao Wu will definitely accept it." Liu Yu smiled helplessly.
"We all received the imperial edicts in the two towns of the Shuishi Town in Weiwu Town, but we would be like a crime."
Seeing that the generals were confused, Liu Yu explained.
"Xiao Wu and the pirates in the South China Sea siege were besieged Lavag. Although he severely damaged the Folang Jiren Navy, the city of Lavag was strong and could not be captured for a long time. In addition, the ambition of the Black Flag Gang Li Tianyou and others, the pirates would have a second thought in the long run. The situation was not controlled by Xiao Wu."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent 11 letters of help in half a month for Weigan."
"Since that's the case, seeing that Folang Jiren is willing to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be willing to join the Folang Jiren's fleet to suppress the pirates."
The generals present seemed to be thinking, and the restless crowd gradually calmed down.
"Uncle, if I guess correctly, Xiao Wu's messenger will soon come to Weigan." Liu Yu smiled.
"And this time, we will definitely ask for help from Gan Ming army to raise troops north to Lavag."
"But this time, it's not a besiege of Lavague, but a helping Lavague's Fronjimen to destroy the pirates."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, the lobby suddenly fell into silence.
Liu Yu was unexpectedly surprised that the situation had happened.
After all, he was a little bit worse and forgot about King Lu in Mingcheng.
The Folang Jiren came to Weigan to negotiate with Liu Yu. The main reason was that the Weigan Ming army was the strongest, but in terms of status, the core of the Luzon Ming army was still in Mingcheng.
Whether it is Huben Town or Navy Town, they must obey the King of Lu in Mingcheng.
If I had known this, I would have brought King Lu from Mingcheng to Weigan.
Now that I have to eat the bad consequences I have planted, Liu Yu is quite unhappy.
"If the Lord said that if the Duke of Ming obeyed the will of King Lu, he would have a separation from the pirates. If the pirates are full of energy, Xiao Wu may not have a chance of victory." said Wang Tong, the general of the town.
"Yes." The generals present nodded.
"If the Duke of Ming really received the imperial edict, he would inevitably go to war with the pirates. Although our Navy Town is extremely powerful, there are few ships and few soldiers, he will inevitably be defeated by the pirates. If the war begins, there will be many dangers."
"No," Liu Yu nodded.
"This is also the reason why I refuse to negotiate. The Folang Ji people are ill-intentioned. It is obvious that they are sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, waiting for both the Ming army and the pirates to suffer the defeat before waiting for an opportunity to capture us in one fell swoop."
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the King of Lu wanted to negotiate too much. After all, he was very happy with the successful growth of the Ming army in Luzon these days, but he lived in Nanyang for a long time, especially facing the threat of the Flanger day and night, which made him restless.
Liu Yu could understand the reaction of King Lu.
However, it also brings a huge problem, what should Rawag's pirate forces do?
Liu Yu didn't believe that the Spaniards would really wipe out the pirates together, but they were just using them.
I guess Xiao Wu would mention some conditions in his letter to King Lu, but the governor of Manila would probably not agree.
Two days later, Xiao Wu's letter also reached Weigan.
As expected, he came to ask for troops. Xiao Wu hoped that Liu Quan would personally lead the soldiers of Huben Town to Lawage and expressed that he would obey the edict of King Lu.
At the same time, another message came.
King Lu, who had long been unable to sit still, actually signed an alliance with Manila officials.
The four agreements did not move at all, which made Liu Yu stunned.
"These stupid pigs." After a long time, Liu Yu cursed.
Soon, the Weigan Ming army also began to adjust its troops.
Liu Yu personally led the soldiers of Huben Town and the brave town to Lavag, while Liu Quan was in charge of Weigan, shocking the heroes of Weigan.
As for the Spaniards, the troops near Banggui have not decreased.
The two thousand-sen soldiers led by Bo Lu are still eyeing the city with their swords.
Although Mingcheng was in constant emergency, Liu Yu pretended not to see it.
Anyway, the agreement was signed with the Spanish.
If one day the Spaniards broke the contract to attack Mingcheng, it would be no wonder Liu Yu.
The most important thing is that Liu Yu really had no soldiers to be transferred to Mingcheng.
Huben Town is going to Lavag, and the Auxiliary Town is full of a group of elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and cannot make the climate.
The brave town is brave, but Liu Yu would never dare to send these young men to guard Mingcheng.
What is the difference between sending group mice to guard the granary?
After thinking about it over and over again, Liu Yu finally decided to take these children to the front line.
Whether it is fighting pirates or the Spanish, they are good cannon fodder.
The city of Lavag is northwest of Greater Luzon, and is close to Vigan.
After two days of the army's departing, the vanguard arrived at the city of Lavag.
The estuary of the Lavague River,
Due to the long-term attack, the pirates could only hide next to the entrance of the Lavague River.
For a whole month, the pirates launched several large-scale raids on Rawag.
But they were all defeated, not only did they lose their troops, but they didn't even take down the coastal turret near Lavag.
The Spaniards in the city sincerely wanted to be a turtle, huddled in the turtle shell and never came out.
This made the pirates waiting outside furious, but they could do nothing.
Many pirates have been tempted to retreat one after another, and some even gathered to cause trouble.
Li Tianyou had to angrily kill several pirate leaders, and then calmed down.
However, it is obvious that the pirates cannot make a big difference.
When the edict of King Lu was passed to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.
Now he knew very well that the power of the Luzon Folangji people was much stronger than he thought.
The repeated failure to siege the city had already made him want to retreat.
At this time, Xiao Wu was unable to make peace with Folang Jiren.
After all, in his eyes, the signing of this agreement also showed that the Ming army had taken root in Luzon.
As for spending some money, it's nothing.
However, the last Folang Jiman asked him to jointly wipe out the pirates, but it was a big trouble for him.
"Sir, the soldiers in Huben Town have arrived 20 miles away from Rawag, and the messenger has arrived." Suddenly, He Bin walked forward and shouted at Xiao Wu who was stunned.
"Oh, is that?" Xiao Wu was shocked and stood up in a hurry.
"Come on your behalf."
During these days, he looked around, hoping that the Ming army in Weigan could come to help.
After all, with the troops in the Navy, he could no longer suppress Li Tianyou and others with his single power.
He hurried to the deck and received the messenger. Suddenly, the youth appeared in front of him made him look stunned.
"Why are you?"
"Meet the Duke of Ming."
Liu Yu smiled and bowed to Xiao Wu.
"Is your uncle here?" Xiao Wu said coldly.
What he hopes most now is that Liu Quan will come here.
After all, it is his right-hand man, so he will have more confidence to face Li Tianyou.
"My uncle is in charge of Weigan City, so it is not convenient to go to Lavag." Liu Yu said calmly.
"Then what are you doing?" Xiao Wu said angrily.
"According to the order of Lord Lu, I lead the three towns of Hu Ben, brave and Fubo to a total of 1,500 troops and more than 20 warships to assist the general."
"What?"
