    However, Sebastian and Pintuo never expected that the conversation with Mr. Zhao would have to wait until a year later.

    It was already the twelfth lunar month, and Zhao Hao was too busy to care about him.

    Mr. Zhao must make proper arrangements to clear out the Spaniards entrenched in Cebu and Brunei after the new year.

    After the decisive battle with Spain, the countries in Southeast Asia, which had been struggling under the clutches of the Westerners for many years, could no longer see the situation clearly, and the Spanish were no longer of much use in engendering hatred.  Moreover, within a few years, the sailing ship trade will definitely become obsolete, and their intention to "raise the bandits for self-respect" will be too obvious.

    Fortunately, he made a fortune from the captured Armada. Even if the galleon trade was interrupted for seven or eight years, he didn't care anymore!

    ??~~

    In the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, the tugboat fleet sent by the war zone finally towed back the 120 captured Spanish ships.

    Of course, these ships are also mobile germ reservoirs, and the ships and people must first undergo the most stringent disinfection and isolation.

    ¡° However, the prisoner¡¯s isolation camp is not on Chenmei Island, but on a small island with a circumference of 3.2 kilometers next to it.  The Spanish called it Carvalho Island, but since the island was uninhabited, it was used by the group to build isolation camps.

    ¡°Drake and his party were isolated on this island for two months and then executed en masse for piracy.

    This time, the Spanish Armada has more than 7,000 sailors and 25,000 soldiers, totaling nearly 33,000 people.

    During the voyage, more than 1,000 people died due to diseases, accidents and other reasons, and a total of 32,000 people participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

    As a result, after the war, more than 9,000 crew members and sailors were killed or missing in the water.  More than 2,000 wounded people died while being escorted after being captured. In addition, there were nearly 2,000 people on the nine boats that escaped.

    The last people to arrive at the isolation camp were actually 19,000 people.  However, according to past experience, during two months of isolation, about 10% of the prisoners will die due to infectious diseases, wound complications, and execution due to excessive thorns.

    Therefore, when the "Luzon Daily" reported, it directly reported 17,000 prisoners. This would not damage the great victory, but also prevent the people from viewing the isolation camp as a hell on earth.  Sister Ma is already well versed in the art of news reporting

    When the prisoners disembarked, they were not allowed to take anything with them. They had to strip naked and throw all their clothes into the fire to be burned.

    ¡°Then they were driven into several channels made of barbed wire with barbed sticks by epidemic prevention personnel wearing full protective clothing, and then driven in batches into a large pool with a strong sulfur smell for preliminary disinfection.

    The prisoners thought that the Ming people were going to drown them, and there was a commotion.  However, the isolation camp has been running for several years and can easily respond to various emergencies.

    Rebellion also requires strength. How can a weak prisoner have the strength to rebel?  The quarantine officers closed the doors at both ends of the passage, and several Gatmu guns mounted on the high walls on both sides opened fire at the same time, killing more than a dozen people indiscriminately.  Seeing the miserable state of the corpses hanging on the barbed wire fence, the prisoners all became honest now.

    And they found that the people in the pool were driven to the shaving place opposite, and finally realized that it was a false alarm

    ??~~

    After all the prisoners disembarked, the tugboats towed the Spanish ships to the quarantine dock on Chenmei Island.

    Chenmei Island is shaped like a large tadpole, with its round head facing out of Yongxia Bay and its slender, curved tail pointing into the bay. It is a natural deep-water port.

    Because there were 120 Spanish ships to dock, the war zone turned the entire tadpole tail into a quarantine area that no one could enter.

    There is also a mile-long isolation zone between the quarantine area and the camp area to prevent anyone who is obsessed with money from sneaking into the quarantine area.  Losing the belongings on the ship is not only second, but the most troublesome thing is that the germs may be brought back to the camp.

    Although there is no one on the boat, it is not without living creatures!  It is estimated that there are hundreds of rats per ship, tens of thousands of fleas, lice, bed bugs and cockroaches, which is definitely a lot more.

    The quarantine area is on red alert, and only personnel wearing a full set of protective equipment and quarantine badges are allowed to enter for disinfection in the early stage.

    The biggest enemies of overseas immigrants are not the natives, the red-haired ghosts, or the hot climate, but these disease-infectious pests.  Therefore, the group's immigration history is a history of fighting against pests.  Over the years, the group has accumulated extremely rich experience in pest control, and we can confidently say that no one knows pest control better than us.

    The War Zone Epidemic Prevention Office has a complete set of steps to thoroughly disinfect ships and cargo, among which sulfur fumigation is still the most effective.

    Epidemic prevention personnel first close the doors and windows of the ship to be disinfected from the outside, seal the gaps, and then put in a sufficient number of fumigators according to the cabin volume.?The price was roughly estimated at 4 million taels of silver.

    At this time, the Spanish Empire was at its peak, and the materials used for shipbuilding were not ambiguous at all. The wood alone for each battleship cost 200,000 pesos.

    All warships are made of century-old oak. The value of the wood that can be removed from 120 warships is at least 600 taels of silver.

    The final calculated loot totaled about 48.55 million taels of silver

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    At that time, Zhao Hao had already left Luzon and was on his way north.  When he saw the report, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. After he ordered someone to confirm with Jin Ke that it was correct, he ordered Secretary Ma: "Inform Xueying to adjust the previous year's profit and loss, and record this input into the group's income last year!"

    Well, this way the group¡¯s record of consecutive profits can be maintained, which is very important.

    Mr. Zhao is very concerned about his transcripts (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
