Chapter 881 877 [Businessmen who survive in the crack]
Guangping Mansion City.
All the Han people inside and outside the city were ordered to move away, and Sun Chuanting wanted to take them to Guangnan Province.
In order to defend the city with a small amount of troops, all the Yue residents in Guangping City have been expelled from the city. Now, when they see the big house, they are in, and they are all taken away by the valuables, but they just don’t touch those small families.
Ships of wealth and goods were transported to naval ships, and the Datong army and the Han people abandoned the city and left.
Sun Dakui couldn't help asking: "Sun Buzheng, the country of Ruan is empty, why don't you fight south? Even if you don't fight south, we should defend Guangping. We finally attacked the city we conquered."
Sun Chuanting had already stepped onto the ship's deck and explained: "In another month, the weather will get hotter and the heavy rain will continue to rain. You know these things. We have few soldiers now, and Guangping City is not conducive to defending. The Ruan family will definitely come to attack. By that time, there will be countless soldiers stationed in Guangping City who will die in battle and have no more than one person who will be killed. Even if they keep it, it will be more costly."
"How can you say it's not worth the loss? This is a big city," Sun Dakui still couldn't let go. "Besides, how can there be no one who can't die in war?"
Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Guangping City is here. Can it still grow wings and fly away? Choose a suitable month in the future. Once the army comes, it will flatten the entire Ruan tribe. Why bother to worry about Guangping's city and place?"
In this way, Nguyen Phuc led a large army back and came to Guangping angrily.
However, Sun Chuanting did not care at all. He brought wealth and Han people with him, threw them down the city and ran away. Only the Guancheng on the border was firmly occupied by the Datong Army. If he sent troops in the future, he could go straight to Guangping City along the river.
"What? The Han thief left the city and fled?"
On the way, Nguyen Phuc received the news, and was so happy that he wanted to vomit blood.
Then, what should I do?
It is impossible to fight Bintonglong again, and it is even more nonsense to go north to attack Guangnan Province. After several years of preparation, this time, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were gathered. Not only did they not catch anything, they also lost the border city. Guangping Prefecture was also robbed by the Han army.
The city must be taken back, otherwise, the Han soldiers will come if they want to!
"Continue northward!"
Nguyen Phuc said with a tough needle to order that he had started a war with China anyway, so he had to take back his magnificent pass while China's main force was absent.
The guy led his troops north for more than 200 miles, and suddenly received another message on the way: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Han thieves are attacking Chengtian Prefecture (Huihua)!"
Nguyen Phuc was a little unresponsive, and asked several times, confirming that he had heard it correctly, and roared in anger: "The Han thief bullied me too much, and immediately return to the army to defend the capital! From next year, I will expand the Dayue Navy (Naval)!" As he said that, he called the civil servants of the army, "You should immediately write a memorial for apology and ask the envoy to bring gifts to Nanjing."
Some small countries are so nonsense. They obviously cannot win, but they insist on provoking big countries.
It is said that Yang Guang wasted the people and suffered money and forced himself to conquer Goguryeo three times, making Goguryeo like a victim. But how many people knew that Goguryeo first invaded the Sui Dynasty, which completely angered Emperor Yang of Sui.
Before Yang Guang ascended the throne, Goguryeo began to play tricks. The Sui Dynasty could not make any moves and had always chosen to endure it.
As a result, Goguryeo was arrogant and sent troops to attack Liaodong, but was repelled by the governor of Yingzhou of the Sui Dynasty. When Yang Jian sent the King of Han to conquer the Han Dynasty, the King of Goguryeo was so scared that he apologized and claimed to be "the Lord of Liaodong's dirt ministers". It's a general meaning, I'm just a piece of stinky shit. Dad, please spare me, lead troops to attack me, and your father's hands will be dirty.
The minds of the ruler and ministers of the Ruan family are actually similar to those of Goguryeo. They think that China is expanding too fast and they have to find an opportunity to take a try.
It was a bit ridiculous. He led tens of thousands of troops to attack Chameng first, then returned to the north to rescue Guangping, and now he went south to rescue Hue. Except for many people who were killed and injured in Bintonglong, he spent the rest of his time trying to fight back and forth, and even the Mao of the Datong Army was not touched.
And Datong Army did not intend to take Nguyen Phuc as a dog to walk.
Yang Zhan withdrew his troops from Myanmar normally. When he retreated to Palembang, he heard that the Nguyen was fighting Bintonglong. So he quickly took a boat to rescue him. After arriving at Bintonglong, he heard that the Nguyen had withdrew his troops. He was so angry that he took a boat to bombard the Nguyen's capital.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Within the port, the sky-shaking cannons sounded.
In addition to the naval fleet brought by Yang Zhan, there are also the envoy fleets of Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng.
When the envoy fleet returned from Peking University New Year and passed by Bin Tonglong's supply, he heard that Hue was fighting, so he also came to help fire some shots.
Prince Charles stood on the deck with a thousand-mile mirror and observed the battlefield. Dozens of warships slammed the city together, which shocked him. Such a formation was rare in Europe.
"What country is this?" Charles asked.
Pan Wei explained: "This was once the hometown of China, but it fell for hundreds of years due to rebellion. Those traitors established a Yue Kingdom, and now the capital of Yue Kingdom is bombarded."
"So that's how it is." Prince Charles immediately understood that the local lord launched a rebellion and separated from the monarch and established a country and became king. Such traitors should be beaten hard.
A regular Guangnan Provincial Division led by Yang Zhan and the Datong Army that had visited the protection mission, all landed successfully and launched an encirclement of Hue.
To be honest, both armies contain a large number of wounded and sick people, and most of them are sick.
There are about 5,000 defenders in Hue City, but there are still more than 100,000 residents, and they can be pulled out to defend the city at any time.
It's really hard to fight!
Nguyen Phuc's eldest son was only ten years old and his second son was only five years old. Faced with the siege of the city, the ministers of the Nguyen Dynasty were panicked, and the young master, the uncle of the country, and Song Fukang, the county duke, took charge of the overall situation.
Historically, several queens of the Ruan family regime all had their surnames "Song" or "Song Fu".
The word "Fu" can be added or not.
Just like Nguyen Phuc, it is okay to say that his surname is "Ruan" and it is also right to say that his surname is "Ruan Phuc".
Song Fukang is the leader of the gentry of Hue. He not only did the ideological work of the ministers, but also called the gentry and merchants in the city: "The Zheng family in the north was destroyed. I think everyone already knows what the gentry and merchants had encountered. Every family has money to pay, and someone has to pay people. Hue City must be defended. Once the city is broken, you and I will die, and all the land and property will be taken away!"
"In times of crisis, we should serve the country. Our Duan family will provide a salary of 1,000 taels, and thirty monk slaves will serve as soldiers!"
"My Zhang family provides a salary of 1,000 taels, and twenty monk slaves are soldiers!"
"My Chen family's salary is one thousand taels..."
The Datong imperial court's policy of dividing land in the north really scared all the gentry in the south. Although the donation was relatively small, the gentry in Hue was indeed working together to defend the city.
Immediately, Song Fukang carried out propaganda in the city, saying that the Datong Army was brutal and murdered, and after breaking through Huhua, he would definitely massacre the city and fool the people of Huhua to take up weapons.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The servant beat the gong and shouted along the street: "Li Yongjin, the Han merchant, helped him pay 1,000 taels of silver. Zhang Chong, the Han merchant, helped him pay 800 taels of silver. Chen Lianggui, the Han merchant..."
There are a large number of Han merchants living in the city of Hue, who have formed a community of commercial interests with the gentry of Hue.
Song Fukang was very insidious. He first sent troops to force Han merchants to donate funds and pay, and then made a big move to promote the situation, cutting off the retreat of the Han merchants.
Qian Fang is a businessman, and he silently observes the situation on the street.
The shopkeeper Qian Deshun suddenly said, "Qian Fang, come on."
"Okay!" Qian Fang nodded and bowed, and followed the shopkeeper into the house.
The shopkeeper with a strong temperament outside knelt down after entering the house and whispered: "Sir, my boss has also donated 1,000 taels. My boss asked me to be my Lord Bingming, he was forced to do so, and the thieves entered the house and forced them to donate silver."
Qian Fang sat in the main seat, picked up the teacup and said, "I know everything. You can ask our boss to bring letters to other merchants in the city. They donate silver to help the thieves. The court will not blame this. Just remember one thing, in the future, the court will destroy the Ruan family and buy land merchants, and they must cooperate with the distribution of land."
"Thank you, thank you!" Qian Deshun kowtowed repeatedly.
Qian Fang took a sip of tea: "What should I do? Just go and do it. This Hue City can't be beaten for the time being."
The Han people who did business in the Ruan family actually wanted to maintain the status quo. They had too deep connections with local gentry. Some Han merchants had even become gentry Hue, where they got married and had children and purchased land, which was no different from the Yue people's landlords.
If the Datong Army had not been too strong, these Han merchants might have helped the Ruan family fight.
But who is not a shrewd person in business?
The Ruan family was obviously about to perish. As early as two or three years ago, Han landlords had already sold their land one after another, so as not to be divided by the court in the future.
Outside the city.
Yang Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
The hot air balloon has been clearly observed. The city was full of soldiers and people guarding the city, and a large amount of city guarding supplies were prepared. The streets and alleys in the city were also transporting supplies.
In this case, if the city is forcibly attacked, the Datong Army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, it is almost the hot and rainy season, so the army must be withdrawn to rest immediately, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a large number of non-combat reductions.
Seeing the Datong army leave on a boat, the soldiers and civilians in the city cheered, but the Han merchants were all frowning.
They complained about the Nanjing court for a while, why did they have to think about annexing the Ruan tribe? Then they complained about Nguyen Phuc, isn't it okay to live a good life? Why are you sending troops to provoke China?
Han merchants understand very well that if the fastest falls this year, the winter, and if the slowest falls, the fall is coming next year, the Chinese army will inevitably face the brink of troops!
These merchants wanted to run away with a bed, but many of them already regarded Hue as their home. They had shops here, cargo warehouses here, and also had fleets to buy goods from Hue to run for sea trade.
The Han people monopolized the Ruan trade, which was not just a joke. They were all rich and would not give up until they had to.
Nguyen Phuc led his army back to Hue, rewarded the heroes with great rewards, and held funerals, claiming to the public that he had won the "Hune Victory".
Immediately afterwards, we began to investigate which Han people were selling land in the past two or three years.
As long as the land sold exceeds 100 acres, no matter whether it is a loss for business or not, the house will be confiscated and executed.
