[Sorry, Zhao Hao's son is from the Shi generation, not the "Shi", and has been revised.]

The firecrackers outside were already ringing. In the study room of No. 9 Courtyard, Liu Xuesheng and Xu Zheng were still crying to Mr. Zhao about the inhuman treatment suffered by the Chinese overseas in Luzon.

Zhao Hao listened very seriously, making the two believe that he could really empathize with the pain of overseas Chinese.

Little Luzon is Manila. Although the geographical conditions are superior, it cannot withstand the natives of the South China Sea and the island is very scarce, so both natives and Spanish cannot do without Chinese goods.

Especially since the launch of the large-scale sailing trade from Mexico to Luzon, Spanish large-scale sailing ships with a load of 400 tons have transported ships of South American silver and purchased high prices for hot goods for maritime trade such as silk, raw silk, porcelain, lacquerware, spices, etc.

In the eyes of overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, "Hong Hair from the East" "the land is mostly made of lace silver coins, and there is no property. Those who come to Guangdong only carry silver." To be honest, these big dogs who are so poor that they only have money left are much more generous than the Hong Hair from the West. They are never picky about goods sold to Manila, and they don't even bargain, and they refuse all of them. And the most important thing is to clear the money and pay the money in stock!

And those Portuguese merchants are much more treacherous. They buy all the goods and they will not settle them until the end of the year. Sometimes when the ship sinks or is pirates, they will just be denied. It is shameless!

As a result, Manila quickly became a rising international trade center, showing a trend of gloriousness with Malacca on the west coast of the South China Sea. Overseas maritime merchants naturally flocked to overseas, and in just a few years, it increased from more than 2,000 to more than 10,000.

There are more than 1,000 Spanish talents in Luzon, only one-tenth of those in overseas Chinese.

This aroused the fear of the Spanish because they knew very well that Luzon was at the doorstep of the Ming Empire, but was thirty thousand miles away from his "Governor-General of New Spain"...

In fact, in another period of time and space, the Spaniards finally began to massacre China until thirty years later.

However, the direction of history has been changed to chaos by Zhao Hao, the big swelling moth, and has basically lost its reference value.

Liu Xuesheng told Zhao Hao that at first the Spanish were mainly utilizing overseas Chinese because they needed a large number of craftsmen and merchants to maintain the operation of colonial cities.

But since the fifth year of Longqing, the Jiangnan Group's fleet wiped out the Portuguese Macau fleet, everything has become different.

Spain's Philippine Governor Sander was very shocked. Although he had always believed that Portugal was not worthy of being comparable to his own country, he still admired the Portuguese Navy very much.

The Portuguese Navy was at an absolute disadvantage in number, and with its superb tactics and maneuverability advantages, it always dealt with the Spanish Invincible Fleet, but was annihilated by a private fleet of the Ming Empire! This naturally made Sand worried about how powerful the regular army of the Ming Dynasty should be?

When conquering the Sultanate of Luzon and many tribes on the Luzon Islands, the Spaniards heard the curse of those who died under their butcher's knife that the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers would soon arrive and drove them all to hell!

No wonder the Ming army was highly expected. It turned out that they were really powerful... Hey, it seemed like they were wrapping themselves around?

The Spanish then became worried that the people were dozens of times that of themselves, and the number of overseas Chinese was still increasing, fearing that these people would become the inner supporters of the Ming Dynasty's attack.

So they decided to take a two-pronged approach, while capturing slaves from various island countries in Nanyang to build castles and making good defenses; while also starting to reduce the number of Chinese in Manila. They plan to repatriate half of the overseas Chinese next year to test the Ming Dynasty's reaction...

If the Ming Dynasty reacted strongly, they would restrain themselves; if there was no reaction, they would reveal the executioner's true nature and kill everyone! Just like they did it many times in the Americas.

This is the easiest and most efficient way to permanently occupy a piece of land...

Zhao Hao felt that he had an obligation to stop the massacre that was thirty years ahead of him. After hearing the cry of the two, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, this young master, the Nanhai Group, and even the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch their citizens be bullied by outsiders!"

"That's great..." Liu Xuesheng and Xu Zheng kowtowed immediately and thanked him.

"But God helps you, and you must save yourself with all your strength!" Zhao Hao asked the two of you to get up and said to Liu Xuesheng in a deep voice: "You go back now, help the Luzon Merchant House, and organize all the overseas Chinese there. If necessary, you can add a batch of weapons through the Merchant House. If the Spaniards suddenly take action, you will not be unable to protect yourself."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Liu Xuesheng responded quickly. In fact, when he came back this time, he was buying arms for overseas Chinese in Luzon. However, the cousin told him that the group regulations were very strict. Mr. Zhao did not nod and even a bird gun could not flow out.

"As for Brother Xu, how about you go to the capital with me during the New Year?" Zhao Hao turned to Xu Zheng with a smile again.

"Enter... Enter Beijing?" Xu Zheng asked with a stuttering stuttering, "What are you doing?"

"Of course, I'm asking the court to agree to rebuild the Luzon Governor's Office and protect the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia!" Mr. Zhao stood up and said without hiding his own purpose: "How can I allow the red-haired ghosts to go wild in the world of Ming Dynasty? Luzon is ours, and no one is allowed to get involved!"

"That's how..." Xu Zheng then realized why Mr. Zhao had to work hard to come to the country, it turned out to be to annex Luzon!

"Young Master is right. Luzon was originally the territory of our Ming Dynasty. It was just ruled by the natives of the South China Sea after the maritime ban." Liu Zixing also smiled and agreed: "Now that the Luzon Sultanate Kingdom was destroyed by the Red-haired Demon Slayer, it can be seen that the energy has been exhausted. So it is time to let the Luzon Archipelago return to the Ming Dynasty territory, which is also considered to have avenged them..."

"Yes." Xu Zheng, after the two of them were persuading each other, he finally nodded and said, "I'm following the arrangements of the young master."

"Haha, you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind first. After the New Year, we will take the first boat to Beijing." Zhao Hao smiled with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, I wish you all a happy New Year!"

"Young Master's New Year's Eve." Everyone quickly picked up the wine glass and clinked the glass with Zhao Hao.

After New Year's Eve, the first day of the first lunar month, visitors from Lingnan left Xishan Island and were preparing to go to Suzhou and Jinling to take a walk. It is rare to spend the New Year in Jiangnan, and you have to feel the different New Year atmosphere from Lingnan.

However, Zhao Hao stayed honestly on Xishan Island. First, the children are still young and it is not easy to make trouble. Second, Qiao Qiao is about to be about to give birth, and it is better to be quiet than to move.

Sure enough, on the sixth day of the lunar month, she was making wontons for a few babies, and suddenly she started to have stomachache. The maids and mothers around her were already very experienced, so they quickly helped Mrs. Fang to the delivery room she prepared early, and while doing the preparations in an orderly manner, she asked the doctor Tan to come over.

Accompanied by Jiang Xueying and Ma Xianglan, Zhao Hao went to the coast guard sanatorium not far from Ying Hotel to visit the coast guard soldiers who retired due to injuries. Upon hearing the news, the three of them immediately ended their trip and rushed back quickly.

Before the carriage could stop, Sister Ma jumped out of the car first and rushed into the delivery room at a speed that was inconsistent with her usual graceful and calm manner.

Zhao Hao also got out of the car with Jiang Xueying. The two of them looked at each other and understood why Sister Ma was so tight.

Because Qiaoqiao said that if this child is still a boy, she will be a son for Sister Ma...

Seeing Sister Ma's back disappearing behind the curtain, Mr. Zhao secretly prayed in his heart that he must be safe for the mother and son.

"Don't worry, brother, Sister Qiaoqiao is not the first child. She is born again and is familiar with her again. Besides, there is still doctor Tan to protect her, so there will be no problem." Xue Ying gently held his hand and comforted her softly.

"I think each of you has a pair at most is enough." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, I feel sorry for me if I have a child once and pass the gates of hell."

This is also the reason why he doesn't like children very much. Even with the protection of Jiangnan Hospital, it is still too dangerous for women to have children in this era. He has to exchange his life for his beloved wife. He is unhappy for a hundred people.

In fact, he secretly thought that Dink was always good with Sister Ma. Unfortunately, his wives sneered at his thoughts and still had great enthusiasm for having children. Especially Qiaoqiao, this silly woman, not only gave birth to herself, but also helped her sisters give birth to...

His heart was in a mess. I don’t know how long it took, but he heard a cry coming from the delivery room.

"Congratulations to the young master, mother and son for safety!" The women knew what the young master cares most and came out to report the good news quickly.

"Okay, there are rewards, and there are rewards." Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly at Li Mingyue who was with him: "I can't be happy again when I think about you having to do this."

"Brother, don't let Sister Qiaoqiao hear this, otherwise she will be sad." Li Mingyue gently stroked her lower abdomen and smiled: "You men don't understand this kind of happiness."

"Okay, I really don't understand." Zhao Hao adjusted his mood, pulled the corners of his mouth up, maintained a bright smile, and walked into the delivery room.

In the delivery room, Qiaoqiao had been served by the mothers and changed into a white mid-lane, lying on the bed with a pale complexion.

Zhao Hao's fourth son had also taken a shower and was wrapped in a cradle. Ma Xianglan knelt beside the bed, staring at the child in a daze while holding Qiaoqiao's hand, tears streaming down.

Hearing the footsteps, Qiaoqiao opened her eyes and tried hard to squeeze out a smile at him.

Zhao Hao also smiled from the bottom of his heart, stepped forward and held Qiaoqiao's other hand, kissed her forehead, and said he was suffering.

"It's okay." Qiaoqiao said softly: "I feel it's much easier than last time. Sister Xianglan, don't cry anymore. I didn't send my child to someone else's house. Isn't it still a member of our Zhao family?"

"No matter what you say, I owe you all my life." Ma Xianglan cried even harder.

Zhao Hao had no choice but to free up another hand and gently wiped away Sister Ma's tears. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. His eyes turned red and tears fell.

Seeing that they were crying, Qiaoqiao also started crying.

It was not until the fourth son of the Zhao family who was in the cradle that Sister Ma quickly calmed down, carefully picked up the little life and gave it to her breastfeeding.

Zhao Hao naturally had to avoid it. Before going out, Sister Ma asked him the child's name.

Zhao Hao smiled and replied, "His grandfather has already gotten up, his name is Zhao Shili!"
