Chapter 1041 to the South

The people's preparations are in full swing, and even several big forces in Fujian and Guangdong have been alarmed, these sea lords have always been interested in trade monopoly, and they have no concern about the killing of the Han people in Luzon, for them, although the Spaniards in Luzon are strong, they may not be able to help them, as long as the two sides are still doing business, then they will not turn their faces.

In fact, in the vast sea to the east of Malacca, Asia, the greatest sea power is the Ming sea lord, whether it is the Spaniards, the Portuguese or the Dutch, they also have to pay the "water fee" for safe navigation, hang the flag of the sea owners, otherwise it is difficult to move an inch, for them, the most decent situation is to do not violate the river water with the Ming sea master well water, such a situation, often when there is no one largest force on the sea, it will appear.

At present, this is almost the situation, the business scope of Sanshui King Shen Vao and Sha Dacheng is moving north, and the sea lords in Fujian and Guangdong have not yet developed, so there is a vacuum period.

Although the sea lords dominate the sea, they also know that the fleet in and out of Tianjin Wei cannot afford to offend, and now they also deliberately avoid the fleet in and out of Songjiang.

Not to mention that their own ships want to trade in and out of Songjiang Mansion to make money, they are afraid that Wang Tong will not want them to grab a ship to do a case now, and then Wang Tong can sweep it up.

Many people, either openly or covertly, have seen the gunboats parked on the Songjiang pier, and when they look at them, they feel that their eyelids jump, this thing has a ship that can be set on fire at sea to deal with, if the boat is pulled out together, there is still room for others to mix at sea.

And this Wang Tong is not just this cannon ship, his periphery is Sha Dacheng's fleet, you have the heart to go up and fight is not an opponent, jump to help move the knife, are the sharks and the gang afraid?

First of all, it was clear that they did not dare to touch the ships of Songjiang Prefecture, and then everyone put this mind together to make a fortune, and if they wanted to make a fortune, they paid more attention to the news of Songjiang Prefecture and various places in Jiangnan, and they would send notices in time if there was any trouble.

Now the wealthy and wealthy in Jiangnan are talking about going to Nanyang to make a fortune, and many families have already taken action, and they are often not familiar with the sea, so they naturally contact the sea owners first.

After the sea lords learned the news, they all had a trade-off, the sea lord's name was good, to put it bluntly, he was a pirate leader, and when it was rampant, they also led their subordinates to burn and loot along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and now it has converged a lot.

The lives of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty and the lives of the Han people in Luzon are no different to them, and there will be no hatred or regret, but this time I went to make a fortune.

Most of the powerful and wealthy in Jiangnan provide goods for the sea owners, and the powerful ones provide private ports, such as the nobles of Nanjing City, and the families of high-ranking officials in Jiangnan, and even provide official protection for the sea owners.

The two sides are integrated inside and out, since this cadre has come up, the sea owners can not be perfunctory, and then again, the tide of seeking wealth set off in the south of the Yangtze River is also quite touching for them, it turns out that the wealth can be made like this, the Spaniards are entrenched in Luzon, and they have to be handed over by them to do business there, and the gold and silver and special products on Luzon Island are not touched, if Luzon is opened, everyone grabs a handful there......

Some people think far-reaching, want to be bigger and sit firm, want to go on for a long time, how can they have their own ports and bases, otherwise they will either be swallowed up and scattered by others, or they will be exterminated by the government.

Look at Shen Vain and Sha Dacheng, isn't it just relying on Tianjin Wei to swell step by step, not to mention, that Liao Guogong, this person has only been up at sea for a few years, and now he has become the largest sea lord.

Moreover, now the coastal area of Daming has been squeezed by Wang Tong and Sha Dacheng, the center of this group of people was originally in Tianjin Wei, which is good to say, now the center of gravity is biased towards Songjiang Mansion, and gradually to the south, there is no room for everyone to eat, now this is an opportunity, a good opportunity to move to the South Seas to seek space.

No matter how great the power of the sea lords is, after all, it is limited, they have no way to continue to obtain population and financial supplements, and even weapons are bottlenecks, but with the backing of these rich and noble people in Jiangnan, they can ponder these things.

Liao Guogong, who has always been skillful and far-sighted, did not pay much attention to this Nanyang boom, and seemed to be concentrating on running Songjiang Mansion.

Everyone is wondering, the prince of Liao is really going to cultivate his self-cultivation, speaking of which, the two concubines of the Duke of Liao are pregnant, and it seems that it is also time to give birth, maybe there is also this reason.

It is said that Wang Tong also arranged for people to find a small island in the east of the Zhoushan Islands in order to play and relax, and after a little renovation, he arranged for people to build mansions and various facilities on it.

Big people have the habits of big people, not to mention that the materials of this house and various facilities must be transported by ship, and the craftsmen who built it must also be like this, and many people are reluctant to go to sea, if they want to hire people, they have to double the salary, of course, for Wang Tong's net worth, this is also money in the eyes, but your identity is so valuable, and you have both a wife and children, and you must also pay attention to whether a daughter can sit in the hall or something.

Going out to sea by boat, and going to a remote island, although it is heavily guarded, but the sea is windy and rough, in case something happens, isn't it a big disaster?

Many people saw this matter in their eyes, and several nobles and eunuchs with sufficient status in Nanjing City even persuaded each other out of courtesy, so as not to blame the big people above in the future.

Gifts are still exchanged, and Wang Tong also replied politely, saying that he must pay attention, and when he goes to sea, he must bring more escort ships, and be cautious.

Persuasion and answering are not the same thing at all, young and vigorous, after all, they are still playful, but it's not easy to say anything, everything that should be ordered has already been ordered, and there is nothing more to say.

In the end, he was a rich man who had a lot of boats on his hands, and around September, all the facilities on the island were built.

This side was built, Zhang Hongying and Lu Ruomei were also pregnant in October and gave birth, Zhang Hongying's child was born half a month earlier than Lu Ruomei, but it was a girl, Lu Ruomei gave birth to a boy, and the Wang family was imported by Tian Ding, this is a great joy, Nanzhili and Zhejiang's officials and businessmen are not mentioned, and there are congratulations on the Jingshi side, and Emperor Wanli and Empress Zheng also have their own rewards, and the two are still in infancy, and they have various titles.

It is said that the mother is more expensive than the son, not to mention the house like the Duke of Liao, Han Xia has a son first as a wife, and the eldest son of the wife, needless to say, in other rooms, Wang Tong Such a big scene, will definitely not be inherited by one person, who has a son, not only is his status guaranteed, but the son will also have a bright future in the future.

Lu Ruomei was naturally overjoyed, but Zhang Hongying was very disappointed, not to mention Zhai Xiu'er and Song Chanchan, the two of them maintained a good relationship on the surface, and they helped with a smile, but when Wang passed, they had to confide in some grievances.

Wang Tong was also comforted in many ways, but also a little irritable, and in the end he said words like "I'm not over thirty yet, what are you anxious about", which finally allowed the inner house to settle down.

The name is simple, the eldest son was named Wang Xia, Wang Tong originally wanted to name the second son Wang Hua, but Yang Sichen, the commander of Shanghai County, stopped him very disregardively, the word "Huaxia" is too big, and people think too much, what did Wang Tong avoid to Songjiang Mansion for.

Wang Tong doesn't care about this, since it is taboo, then it is better to name it "Wang Zhong", and this eldest daughter is named "Wang Lan", which is really simple.

When it came to naming, Wang Tong was teased by Jiangnan Shilin, thinking that the vulgar martial artist was really like this, and the name was the pattern of a small family and a small family, which was not worth mentioning.

However, some secret news came from Jingshi, saying that Wang Tong named the child Wang Zhong by Emperor Wanli to know, and Emperor Wanli was very happy that day, of course, along with these news, there was also Emperor Wanli's evaluation of the widow "But so, how can you be more beautiful than me", this is pure Fengyue gossip, just look at it.

The tide that began to be stirred up in June, and after September, it was almost time to act, and the ships went to sea one after another, and Wang Tong was leisurely on his side.

Veterans of the Huwei Army system also began to come to Tianjin Wei from various ways, Wang Tong's settlement of them is also very open, the guards of various commercial houses and ships, and even the guards of the mansion gate, are recommended in the past, and now when all families and places are employing people, these people recommended by Wang Tong are all elite in a hundred battles, and they are all abiding by the rules.

The places where these veterans go seem to be everywhere, but in fact, behind the front desk of these places are basically people who want to go to Nanyang to make a fortune and have already put into action.

Paul. Luis was the Spanish governor and governor of the garrison in Luzon, a name that was imposing, but as everyone knows, it didn't represent too much status.

In Spain's colonies in the Americas, the governor and the garrison commander must not be alone, and the question of separation and balance must be considered, and the integration of military and political power is often not taken seriously.

Luzon is an extremely important node on the route from Asia to Europe and from the Americas to Asia, and the family knows that it is important to be here, and the ships and merchants who can come and go here, few of whom are resident here, often use it as a transit point.

And Luzon did not have much defensive pressure, with the batteries and fortresses in the port of Manila, now no fleet in Asia could get in, and they could rest easy, and the fighting power of the natives was just a little stronger than that of the Incas in the Americas.

Originally, Spain was going to place two infantry regiments and a detachment of ten gunboats in Luzon, not to suppress the natives and guard against the whites elsewhere, but to target the Ming dynasty.

This behemoth is almost the size of the whole of Europe, and the manpower is even better than that, and there is a huge standing army, and in the side of such a giant beast, it is necessary to be on guard against being eaten by him at any time, but after a long time, both the priests and the merchants have found that this great empire does not care much about the affairs of the sea, and they do not even regard the people overseas as their own subjects.

That being the case, then there is no need to maintain so many standing forces, so it is enough to have six hundred soldiers stationed and nearly a thousand militias that can be mobilized, and as for the battleships, there are two Galen ships with thirty guns, and three with twenty guns, and if you count the national armed merchant ships docked in Luzon, the forces mobilized at any time are enough to suppress.

The real trouble is the Han pirates at sea, but they prefer to pursue profits rather than fight for territory with heavy casualties, and they don't have to worry too much if they have a good sense of proportion.

Louis was a major in China, serving as an adjutant in an infantry regiment, and in a battle with France, he saved the life of a lieutenant, but he did not expect that the lieutenant was the son of a duke, and since then he has been lucky, and after being promoted to lieutenant colonel, he was recommended to Luzon as a colonial governor.

Paul Luis was originally quite resistant to coming to the East, he preferred to go to the Americas, because it was more similar to Spain and very developed, and it was only after coming here that Louis realized that he had misjudged.

Compared with the almost primitive Americas, it is more civilized and developed, and it is rare that the indigenous and Han people here are very docile and obedient, and it is easier to squeeze and plunder.

With the experience of the infantry regiment in Spain, Louis also suppressed the local garrison in Luzon, which is also a stable position, but since he came, the Spaniards on Luzon have pampered him to loot the Han Chinese, and the Han have accumulated enough wealth, and gradually squeezed the business space of the white people, and it is good to teach them a lesson.

At first, Luis did not agree, he knew what the idea of the gang was, every Spaniard overseas wanted to replicate the miracle of Pizarro's conquest of America, or more accurately, the miracle of gold and silver that Pizarro plundered of America.

Relying on the rich merchants who oppressed the Han people, and the bribes that the Han people took the initiative to pay, Louis was comfortable enough, so why bother to kill the eggs?

However, there were too many nobles in Spain, too few in the country, and the same was true for the colonies, so it was impossible for a man to work on a fat shortage for too long, and when Luis received a letter from home telling him that his term of office was coming to an end, Luis was also tempted by the following proposal.

I didn't expect the resistance of the Han people, who were dozens of times his own, so weak, and I didn't expect this massacre and looting to be so easy, Louis has now accumulated a wealth that can be squandered by himself for generations, and he is satisfied, so he waits for the transfer.
