Long Khoo, the village of Gia Long near Bangkok, was the place where King Rama I of Siam temporarily settled Nguyen Phuc Anh after being defeated by the Tay Son Dynasty for the third time.

The followers of the Nguyen clan who fled from all over Quang Nam also settled here, building water conservancy, cultivating farmland, and cultivating and warfare in preparation for the continued restoration of the Nguyen Quang Nam Kingdom!

At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner, and puffs of cooking smoke wafted from the Vietnamese-style bamboo buildings.

As far as the eye can see, there are all freshly cultivated paddy fields, and most of the people walking around the village are women and children. It seems that Ruan Fuying is really broken!

In fact, even the 'palace' where Ruan Fuying lives is shabby enough in Ye Kai's opinion, it is basically a landlord's compound.

So after forcing Nguyen Phuc Anh to remove the nearby Quang Nam warriors, Ye Kai easily ran out of Nguyen Phuc Anh's 'palace'.

Now the pale-faced golden silk cat led the way for Ye Kai in front, and he hid the fire gun in his sleeve.

He had reminded this Miss Anna from Lorraine that if she dared to make any rash moves, Ye Kai would smash her head.

The Vietnamese people who walked around looked at the strange combination of Ye Kai and Anna with a little curiosity, but Ruan Phuc Ying often had strange Westerners around him, and these people were not surprised!

。。。。

"Bang!" Ruan Phuc Ying, whose face was flushed, kicked a wooden chair to the ground!

"Pass on the order of the lonely king, Da Suo Bangkok City, you must catch this Tang boy!"

"My lord!" Yan Zilu frowned, and quickly grabbed the corner of Lord Ruan's furious clothes.

"Let's invite General Zhu to come! Our army is newly defeated, and the people are panicking, if they know....! ”

Ruan Phuc Anh was stunned for a moment, this was his third attempt to restore Quang Nam, and compared to the previous two failures, this defeat was particularly miserable!

After several years of hard work, he lost a fine light, and the generals Ruan Wenwei and Zhu Wenjie, and the fourth brother Ruan Fumin died in battle one after another.

And every time he is defeated, Nguyen Phuc Anh's status in the hearts of Quang Nam people drops by one point, if he still makes a fuss about being held hostage, then I am afraid that his reputation in the hearts of Quang Nam people will turn from respect to coldness!

And why did King Rama I of Siam, including the previous Thonburi Great, support him?

Isn't it just that he Ruan Fuying still has some strength, if the Siamese people know that he can be held hostage in his palace, I'm afraid the strength of support will not be so firm!

Thinking of this, Ruan Fuying took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to Yan Zilu.

"Thank you for reminding you, it's the lonely king who has lost his temper! It's just that Miss Anna is extremely important, and it is better to chase it back as soon as possible! ”

"Don't worry, lord!" A wise man's smile appeared on his face, that Tang boy can't run, their Ye family has quite a lot of industry in Bangkok!

。。。。

Ye Kai fell on a river beach panting heavily, and the golden silk cat Anna next to him was pale and looked at him timidly.

However, Ye Kai didn't have time to care about this little chick named Anna, because his head was twitching like electricity, and he barely sat up and looked at the reflection in the water in a daze.

The face in the water does not belong to Ye Kai, that is, Ye Kai on the original earth.

Because it is impossible for a thirty-four-year-old man to have such a vigorous face, but he looks seven or eight points similar to Ye Kai when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Rubbing his forehead, Ye Kai sighed, he remembered everything, the original owner of this body was also called Ye Kai, and he was the eldest young master of the Ye family of the Nanyang wealthy family.

The Ye family is a first-class clan in Nanyang, and most of the people live in the territory between Pattani and the Sultanate of Johor, roughly located in the area from what is now Pattani Province in Thailand to Singapore.

The ancestral home of the Ye family is Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong, which is now Meixian County, Guangdong, and the ancestors came to Nanyang during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as the earliest Chinese to go to Nanyang.

But Ye Kai's family is not, Ye Kai's fourth ancestor went south to Nanyang during the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and came to Pattani to take refuge with his brothers.

Later, in Ye Kai's grandfather's generation, because he was full of poetry and books and prestigious, he was chosen as his stepson by his uncle, who was the patriarch of the Nanyang Ye family.

Since then, Grandpa Ye Kai's branch has risen to prominence and has become the patriarch of the Changfang who leads thousands of households and tens of thousands of people.

Ye Kai's father is called Ye Fulai, and in the impression of this body, Ye Fulai is a Maitreya Buddha with a rich wife, and everyone smiles when he sees him.

Ye Kai is not only Ye Fulai's eldest son, but also Ye Fulai's only adult child, and his only son-in-law.

Because although Ye Fulai has a four-room wife, only the deceased Changfang Ye Li is a Chinese in Jiaying Prefecture with strong roots, and the other three-room ladies are not local natives, that is, the mixed-race descendants of local aborigines and Chinese.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the word Baba Nyonya again, generally born in Nanyang native or mixed-race Chinese, men are called Baba and women are called Nyonya, which in the Chinese circle, the word was somewhat derogatory at first.

Because there is also a chain of contempt in the Chinese circle in Nanyang, the top ones are of course pure-blooded Chinese, especially the Chinese from several famous overseas Chinese hometowns, and Jiaying Prefecture is the one with the highest status.

The second class is the Peranakans, the second class is the mixed-race Chinese, that is, the Baba Nyonya, and the lowest class is of course those who don't know how many generations have been mixed.

The most ideal partner for the Chinese in Nanyang is the Chinese from the mainland, and the second class must be the Peranakan who are not mixed-race, and only those who really can't marry a wife will consider Nyonya or even the natives.

In this chain of contempt, Ye Kai is undoubtedly at the top of Ye Fulai's descendants.

His father was a Peranakan without mixed race, and his mother was a newcomer from Jiaying Prefecture, that is, a Chinese who had just arrived in Nanyang.

Compared with his Nyonya aunts, or simply the younger brothers and sisters born to indigenous aunts, Ye Kai is not only Ye Fulai's palm treasure, but also the heir of the Nanyang Ye family.

However, due to the early death of his mother, his father's doting, and the sense of superiority accumulated since childhood, Ye Kai, who is now seventeen years old, is an out-and-out young master.

Ye Fulai, who really had no choice, could only send Ye Kai to Bangkok, the capital of Siam, to find Ye Kai's third uncle to learn the way of business.

However, the development of things is far beyond Ye Fulai's imagination, because Ye Kai is better under his nose, after all, he can still control one or two, and at this time, places such as Beitani are not prosperous, even if Ye Kai wants to do it, there is no place for him to do it.

But Bangkok is different, at this time, Thailand is a rare period of strength in Thai history, and at the same time, King Rama I of Thailand also moved the capital to Bangkok in order to eliminate the influence of Thonburi Emperor Zheng Xin.

Therefore, the newly built Bangkok City is a first-class prosperous place in Nanyang, and Master Ye soon lingered in this city with a mild climate (compared to Malacca) and pleasant scenery.

It was at this time that Ye Kai met a woman, a fair-skinned, extraordinary, elegant and polite woman.

What's more, this woman is very similar to his mother, who was born in the Jiaying Prefecture clan, in temperament.

Ye Kai, who lost his mother at a young age, was fascinated at once, and he dedicated his heart's longing for his mother and his first love in adolescence to this delicate and gentle Ruan Mushroom Liang!

But he didn't want to think about it, this is Nanyang! is not a big aristocratic family, who can cultivate this kind of extraordinary, intelligent and polite beauty, and more importantly, this woman also has a high Han cultural accomplishment.

It is not the kind of Han cultural cultivation that can speak a few words of Hakka or Cantonese official dialect, but the cultivation of being able to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and know poetry and songs.

At least now when Ye Kai recalls this woman, he can clearly remember that this woman has written several poems that are relatively peaceful, rhymed and rhythmic!

If such a woman is reasonable in a large cultural and educational province like Hunan and Jiangxi, it would be very unusual to appear in a Vietnamese woman!

What kind of Vietnamese family can or need to cultivate such a woman? Is such a woman something he can provoke?

So soon Ye Kai was tragic, and before the Siamese Songpa came to find him trouble, Nguyen Phuc Anh, who had returned from Phu Quoc Island, sent someone to arrest him.

After a beating, he may have been frightened, or he may have been heartbroken, this eighteen-year-old young master of the Ye family died and was replaced by Ye Kai from the next generation.
