Chapter 247: Sattahip Barracks
"Shu Wu! Thanks to you! Otherwise, Brother Wei will definitely be captured by the Siamese! ”
On the Medusa, Ruan Fuying didn't care about maintaining the dignity of the lord of the country, and grabbed Ye Kai's hand with both hands, which was a thank-you, and even the title became a sign of the martial arts between brothers, rather than Ye Hou who expressed the master-slave relationship.
"Brother, it's the courtier's brother who is late and makes you suffer!" Of course, Ye Kai also tried his best to be extremely excited.
I haven't seen him for almost three years, Ruan Xiaoqiang is obviously much more haggard than before, and even has a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, it looks like his life in Bangkok in the past few years must have been very difficult!
"Master Hou, don't catch up with the lord of the country, we have to hurry to Sattayi, the center, left, right, and back four battalions, as well as the French mercenaries are still there, beware of the Siamese poisoning!"
Ruan Fuying and Ye Kai are still performing brotherhood, Ruan Fuying's cronies on the side, the eunuch general Li Wenyue can't hold back, now is not the time to be polite and perform.
"That's right! Hurry to Sattahip! "Nguyen Phuc Anh has also woken up, everything about him is still in Sattahip and Chonburi!
"Alves, Jean who rules the Medusa with the flag language. Mali. Colonel Dayo and Jean on the Jellyfish. Major Baptiste asked them to talk to Jean. Colonel Wilson formed a mixed fleet and headed for the Sattahip military port at full speed! Ye Kai ordered to the naval midshipman beside him.
Now he left a three-masted fast battleship Endeavour in Pattani, and Nguyen Phuc Anh was basically scrapped a fifth-class battleship.
The remaining battleships include the three-level battleship Deep Sea Shark on Ye Kai's side, the three-masted fast battleship Interceptor, Advance, and Brave.
Nominally belonging to Nguyen Phuc Anh were the 3rd class battleship Medusa, the 4th class battleship Drought, the 4th class battleship Jellyfish, and the 5th class battleship Tailor. Mali. Daillaud was the commander of this French fleet.
Listening to Ye Kai giving orders to his own battleship, Ruan Fuying's face couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom, he felt that he was no different from a bare-bones commander now.
Chonburi, the Quang Nam military camp, Nguyen Phuc Anh is still reliable, the moment before he escaped from Long Qiu, even if the old mother, wife and children didn't care, but he still sent a Ruan family's clan, Pegasus to give orders to the Quang Nam people in the Chonburi military camp.
Tell them to hurry to the military port of Sattahip and join the French mercenaries there under the command of Peter and others.
Therefore, on the road from Chonburi to Sattahip, the lightly armed Quang Nam army was running fast in front, and the Siamese army led by Anurathwe, the third king of Siam, was in hot pursuit.
The two armies neither raised flags nor communicated messages to each other, but they chased after me without your life.
Sattahip Military Port, all the ships belonging to Quang Nam in the port have long been ordered to leave, but in the military camp of Sattahip Military Port, there are still thousands of Quang Nam troops stationed, but outside the barracks, I don't know where a small number of Siamese troops came from, have begun to monitor with ill intentions.
Ruan Phuc Anh's remaining force was divided into four pieces, one piece was about a thousand people, and there was no way to take it away if it was left in Long Qiu.
One is the Chonburi military camp, the 4,500-strong Quang Nam left and right battalions that are approaching the Sattahip military port, commanded by Truong Jin Bao and Nguyen Van Thanh.
There are almost 5,000 people in Sattahip, including 1,700 French mercenaries who have been handed over by Ye Kai to Nguyen Phuc Anh, a black flintlock company soldier, which is currently controlled by Peter, and the remaining 3,000 people are the elite Quang Nam middle and rear battalions led by Le Van Xuan and Li Decheng.
There are also more than 3,000 Quang Nam troops who have been transferred by Rama I to Nakhon Thackhum, Kanchanaburi and other places.
On the surface, they were requisitioned to guard against the Burmese, but in fact, Rama I had already infiltrated more than 3,000 people, and they were no longer under the command of Nguyen Phuc Anh!
So now, what Nguyen Phuc Anh can still grasp in his hands is the Quang Nam army of nearly 8,000 people on the left, right, center, and back, as well as the 1,700 French mercenaries that Peter helped him control, and there are not even 10,000 people when they are full.
You must know that just before the battle of Thai-Burmese Tatinden last year, Nguyen Phuc Anh still had 17,800 people, and in less than a year, Nguyen Phuc Anh lost nearly 10,000 troops.
Nguyen Phuc Anh doesn't want to go anymore, just wait to bury the bones in Bangkok!
Anurath looked at the Quang Nam military camp in Sattahip with a blue face, he had already increased his speed, but he was still a step slower, and the Quang Nam army in Chonburi had all shrunk into the barracks in Sattahip.
Now there are nearly 10,000 people in that barracks, and it is still the most elite in Guangnan, and he has only brought less than 10,000 people, so it is impossible to attack.
His Royal Highness, the Three Kings of Siam, was King Rama I and King Sura II of Siam. Sinhana's own nephew.
His mother is the eldest sister of Rama I, who has been with Rama I since she was a child, and is more loved by Rama I than Rama II, so he knows Rama I's thoughts.
What they want is not to attack the Quang Nam people, let alone to exterminate the Quang Nam people, they want the Quang Nam people to become Siamese and digest the more than 10,000 followers of the Nguyen clan who can fight well.
And now, it has all come to naught, no one expected that Ruan Fuying's resistance would be so fierce, and he would rather leave his old mother, wife and children than give in.
"Your Highness the Three Kings! Look over there! A Siamese general shouted in horror as he pointed to the looming ships that had suddenly appeared on the distant sea, all with huge sails, and it was clear at a glance who they belonged to.
"They are here to pick up the Quang Nam people of Sattahip, it seems that our mission cannot be completed, notify all the forts, block the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River, and beware of these westerner fleets from entering the inland river!"
Almost instantly, Anurath knew what he had to do, it was a trivial matter to keep this nearly 10,000 Quang Nam troops, if they were allowed to rush into the Chao Phraya River and even the city of Bangkok, it would be a lot of fun!
As for Nguyen Phuc Anh, not only is his mother, wife and children still in Longqiu, but there are also about 70,000 or 80,000 Quang Nam people who are also cultivating in Longqiu.
These people are Ruan Phuc Anh's most loyal followers, and Anurath doesn't believe that Nguyen Phuc Anh can ignore these people!
。。。。
In Hexian Town, eight Western-style warships, as well as more than a dozen large and small galleys that were originally docked here, and more than sixty requisitioned offshore cargo ships were basically full of people. ~
Thanks to the more than 8,000 people that Nguyen Phuc Anh had placed in Sattahip, all of them were elite and the generals were loyal, Rama I did not have time to mobilize a large army to attack, and everyone was safely evacuated.
Yan Zilu came over to greet Ye Kai as usual, without any special enthusiasm and no other looks.
But Ye Kai knew that Yan Zilu was still abiding by the agreement he had with him before he went to Europe, because just before Ye Kai went north, Mo Zilu's youngest daughter and nephew Yan Gongshan, the next head of the Yan family, had secretly gone to Pattani.
The town guard of Hexian Town is also a relative of the Yan family, and Yan Zilu is still holding the position of the chief soldier of Hexian Town, which belongs to the Yan family, and nominally belongs to Guangnan, although the people who live around him are basically Zhenla.
Of course, the current Hexian Town cannot be compared with the era of Yan Zilu's father, Yan Tianci, at that time, Hexian Town had more than 200,000 household registrations and more than 30,000 permanent residents in the port.
And now, after Zheng Xin's attack, there may still be less than 100,000 people in the entire Hexian Town, and as for the port of Hexian Town, it has basically shrunk into a small fishing village, so it can't afford the more than 10,000 people who have been evacuated at all.
After everyone replenished some fresh water and limited food, they could only set sail to Kunlun Island, where, He Xiwen had already managed Kunlun Island and Longchuan on the other side of the river, and it was enough to gain a foothold!
