The reason why the United States accepts Li Mu is not only because the United States is an immigrant country and the United States can accept anyone, but also part of the reason is that Li Mu comes from a corrupt and backward country like the Qing Dynasty. Such a country is basically unable to provide solid support for Li Mu. Therefore, no matter how great Li Mu achieves in the United States, the US government does not have to worry that Li Mu will rebel against the United States. It is also because of this reason that Washington can acquiesce Li Mu to control the military industry, which is a lifeline for any country.

In this situation, no matter what decision Bai Qi makes, he must consider whether it will have an adverse impact on Li Mu. If certain decisions may endanger Washington’s trust in Li Mu, then Bai Qi will even extinguish the threat in the bud.

Fortunately, Lin Xianghai did not have that great ambition: "General, we only hope to survive. If possible, we hope that the general can lend a helping hand. Although the villain is not talented, he has accumulated over generations and is still considered to have little wealth in his family. The villain is willing to give all the money to the general."

Although Bai Qi is not sure how much money Lin Xianghai has, Lin Xianghai's tone, since it can make the Spanish feel greedy, it must not be too little.

Lin Xianghai also saw through it. If the Lin family could not escape this disaster, no matter how rich the Lin family had accumulated over several generations or more than ten generations, they would inevitably be robbed by the Spanish. Since this is the case, it would be better to take it out and try it, so that the green mountains will be left without fear of being burned.

"If you don't talk about the money in advance, you'll talk about it first. How can I help you?" Bai Qi is not short of money now. Although Ryukyu and Japan are not rich, it is still very large if the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. Even if Bai Qi doesn't focus on plundering, it is not difficult to accumulate a million-dollar fortune in just a few years. At present, Bai Qi is willing to provide some help to Lin Xianghai, but it must be within a controllable range. So before Lin Xianghai spoke, Bai Qi set the bottom line first: "If you want me to use troops to the Philippines, don't think about it. Your family's little money is not enough to move me."

The disappointment in Lin Xianghai's eyes flashed. Although it was unlikely, before Lin Xianghai came to Ryukyu, he might not have imagined that Bai Qi would have gone to the Philippines to avenge the Chinese after knowing what kind of treatment he was treated by the Chinese in the Philippines.

That is the best situation, and the worst situation in front of you should be.

It's not the worst. At least Lin Xianghai saw Bai Qi, but it was obvious that Lin Xianghai lacked the ability to convince Bai Qi.

"I dare not ask the general to use his weapons. The villain only hopes that the general can send people to the Philippines and take out the villain's family. As for the villain's property in the Philippines, if the general doesn't like it, it's good to buy some tea for the brothers." Lin Xianghai's requirements were not high, and it was impossible to let Bai Qi fight the Spanish, but it was not difficult to get a few people out of the Philippines.

OK, it's not difficult to have more.

After hearing Lin Xianghai's request, Bai Qi did not reply immediately. Lin Xianghai wanted to beg, and the guards came over and asked Lin Xianghai to leave politely and resolutely. It was time for the meeting.

In Ryukyu, Bai Qi is now the Supreme Emperor. The king has no binding force in talking about Bai Qi. Pan Tingzhen and Bai Qi can at most check and balance each other. The only person who can restrict Bai Qi is far away in New York. Ordinary people also need to make an appointment if they want to see Bai Qi. Lin Xianghai doesn’t know how much price they have paid in order to get a chance to meet Bai Qi.

Three days later, Lin Xianghai boarded the American merchant ship "Seattle" and headed for the Philippines.

The name "Seattle" does not come from the West Coast city of Seattle, but from a famous Indian chief. It is said that the city of Seattle is also named after this chief. The main range of activities of the "Seattle" is in the Far East. It is a bit ironic that the Pacific Company named the "Seattle" after this name.

"After going back, send the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to Ryukyu first. You'd better find a few people and cooperate with us to stay in Luzon." In the cabin, Austin, a Chinese-born from the United States, was reminding Lin Xianghai.

Austin was originally surnamed Chen and was originally a worker in a Cuban plantation. After the Cuban War of Independence, he returned to the United States with Will to serve in the First Cavalry Division. Later, he retired and joined Bai Qi's mercenaries to the Far East. Before going to Luzon, Austin had settled a home in Ryukyu. He had a wife from the Qing Dynasty and a concubine from Japan. From this perspective, Austin was also a winner in life in a sense.

Although Bai Qi didn't want to start a war directly, it was still possible to cause some trouble for the Spaniards. After all, the Far East company will take over the war against the Spaniards in the future. Bai Qi now sent Austin to Luzon, which can be regarded as helping the Far East company fight the front station. At least some information can still be useful.

There was also a 60-person special operation team that went to Luzon with Austin, including not only Chinese like Austin, but also white people who are proficient in Spanish, and even Hispanics. Compared with Chinese who are obsessed with their hometown, several Hispanics in the special operation team have no feelings for Spain. They will not hesitate at all when they start to fight. In many cases, they only call themselves "Americans". As for Spain, it has become a thing of the past.

The Special Operations Team will go to Luzon in batches, and Bai Qi will send a batch of weapons to Manila in the form of smuggling. Next, this Special Operations Team will become a dagger that penetrates the Spanish's weakness.

"Where do you still want to stay?" Lin Xianghai was not sure about Bai Qi's plan, and thought he just took the person and left.

"Fuck, you suffered such a huge loss. The money you saved for several lifetimes was stolen. Can you admit it?" Austin did not have a clear view of right and wrong, but in this kind of thing, if it were Austin, Austin would absolutely not accept it. He would have to fight to the death.

The word "Life to the Death" is really full of malicious intentions. Whether it is "You die" or "I live", there is only one result anyway.

"How could I recognize it? Although Lin is not talented, he is not a stubborn person. The Spanish are insatiable, and the natives are even more aiding the evil. They rob our property, burn our houses, rape and robbery and plunder all kinds of evil. We, the Chinese, wishing to eat their flesh alive-" Lin Xianghai couldn't bear this stimulation. Although Chinese people are often unwilling to cause trouble, they will never have less courage if they really put their swords on their necks.

"That's right. You big family has hundreds of people, and you can't pick out a few bloody people. The Spaniards provoked the natives to kill you. Wouldn't you go back? It's hard to stand there and let them kill. As long as we can stand up, we can't kneel down." Austin was very satisfied with Lin Xianghai's attitude. What the Chinese lacked is organizations. As long as someone was willing to lead, the Chinese were the most rebellious nation in the world. In Cuba, even those native Cubans were capricious in fighting the Spanish, but the Chinese troops were persistent to the end. Even if they died in battle, they would not surrender. Austin was one of them.

Someone once analyzed the Chinese's spirit of resistance and concluded that the conclusions were not satisfactory. In fact, this issue should be viewed dialectically. Just like during the War of Resistance Against Japan, they were all Chinese. When the KMT army collapsed thousands of miles on the battlefield and fought to be a puppet army, PLA could persist in the War of Resistance and never surrender. In the final analysis, it was still a problem of the leader.

"It's not that we are not bloody, but we only regret that the Spanish are unscrupulous and provoked, and they just tend to help the natives. The natives are extremely vicious and shameless. We have to deal with the Spanish, comfort the young family, and run business. After all, there are places that cannot be taken care of." Lin Xianghai was also helpless. When the whole society is full of malicious intentions, there is no way to think about it unless we smash this society.

In Luzon, the Spanish are the rulers, and the Chinese are considered to be a middle class with little assets. Most of the natives are at the bottom of society. At this time, the Chinese are in an extremely embarrassing situation. On the one hand, they have to deal with the Spanish's exploitation, and on the other hand, they have to deal with the attacks of the natives. If there is no correct way, the Chinese will sooner or later be swallowed up by the Spanish and the natives.

The reason why Austin and the others went to Luzon was to guide the Chinese in Luzon to launch a counterattack against the Spanish and natives. In fact, as long as the methods are approached, it is really not difficult. Even if the Chinese have ambitions, it is not impossible to drive Luzon away and drive the Spanish away. Now is no longer an era when the "invincible fleet" is rampant. The Spanish are already declining, and the matter is due to humans.

"The Spaniards don't have to worry. They are in chaos in their country. They just lost Cuba in South America, and no one takes advantage of the situation. Otherwise, the Spaniards would have been defeated. As for the natives, the Spanish can provoke the natives, and we can also provoke them. You want to spend all your money and take out the money. I don't believe that those natives are not moved." After a few years of military career, they have long tempered Austin from a simple plantation worker to veterans. In the past two years of mercenary career, they have repeatedly lowered Austin's bottom line. Bai Qi sent Austin and the others to Luzon to give full play to their talents. The Spanish are in trouble now.

"After the general's order, as long as we can avenge the Chinese who had suffered miserable past, Lin is willing to disperse all his family's wealth." This time, Lin Xianghai made up his mind to burn his boats, and his property would be dispersed, and his wealth would be dispersed again. As long as he was there, he would be fine.

"Don't call me general. We haven't reached that level yet. From now on, you can just call me Lao Chen. Don't call Austin the name." Austin's current identity is Lin Xianghai's servant. Since he is a servant, he must have the consciousness of a servant.

The "Seattle" traveled outside Manila. Lin Xianghai and Austin and they landed in fishing boats from the suburbs of Manila and arrived in Luzon in a nearly smuggled way.

If this is not the case, Austin and his group have three white faces. Austin has obvious oriental characteristics and can pretend to be Lin Xianghai's servants. These three white people cannot disguise them. Not everyone can hire white people as freely as Li Mu. If Lin Xianghai had this ability, he would not have been forced to ask for help from Bai Qi.

The Lin family is located in the Quezon area north of Manila. After several generations of hard work by the Lin family, Lin Xianghai owns a plantation with an area of ​​more than 1,500 acres in Quezon. This plantation is the pride of the Lin family and the source of disaster for the Lin family. If it weren't for this plantation, Lin Xianghai wouldn't be qualified to enter the Spanish's eyes.

It is a good thing that there is no family planning. There are more than 150 direct relatives of the Lin family, and Lin Xianghai himself has eight brothers. The total population of the entire Lin family is more than 400. According to Lin Xianghai's plan, at least 300 people must be sent to Ryukyu in advance. Although the 100 people left behind were not clearly stated, they are also ready to die with the Spanish.

The 1,500-acre plantation employs more than 300 workers. These are the indigenous people nearby. They are hired by the Lin family during the busy farming period. Although the Lin family has never owed wages and has never abused workers, the Lin family's castle-like mansion has become the object of coveting these indigenous people. It is an ironic fact that although the Lin family hired these indigenous people to objectively raise these indigenous families, it is these indigenous people who hate the Lin family the most. As for the Spanish provocation, it only played a catalytic role.

"All 300 workers are trustworthy, right? You just haven't bribed any natives over the years?" Austin immediately started working after learning about the actual situation.

According to Austin's estimate, 305% of the more than 300 workers should be loyal to the Lin family, and at least they should be a little grateful. If a native of the Lin family has not won over so many years, Lin Xianghai would be a bit too failed as a human being.

"There are probably more than a dozen of them who are trustworthy. If there were no such people, we would probably have disappeared like the Zhang and Huang families in the past few years. In fact, there may be more. But you also know that over the years, our Chinese people have been getting more and more difficult, and most of the natives are changing their minds, so they are not trustworthy." Lin Xianghai's answer disappointed Austin a little. Only a dozen people are too far from Austin's expectations.

Before this, the Chinese in Luzon had been targeted by many anti-China movements. The Zhang family and the Huang family probably died in previous movements. If Lin Xianghai did not take this step, it would probably not take long before the Lin family would follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family and the Huang family.

"Okay, more than a dozen people are not bad. At most, it's just a little troublesome. You organize the people who are going to send to Ryukyu first, and start sending them now. Don't make a big fuss and don't let the Spaniards be alert." Although a little disappointed, Austin did not lose confidence. The problem of manpower is actually easy to solve. As long as you have the opportunity, it is not difficult to tie these more than 300 people to Austin's chariot.
