Chapter 271: The Concubine Comes from the Sea
In the South China Sea, on the sea near Phan Thiet, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan sat on a 400-ton Dafu ship with a big belly.
Although she was on the sea, she still had a stable Taishi chair to sit on, and a large white porcelain teapot was placed at her feet, which was filled with fine black tea with a sweet aftertaste like honey, and the plate in her hand was also filled with all kinds of raisins, dried peaches, dried apples and other dried fruit snacks that were not very common in the South Seas.
The captain of this ship is a strong man who can be thrown directly into prison just by looking at his appearance, and there will definitely be no wrongs!
But now, this fierce captain treats Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan with a gesture towards his hostess.
He held a plate in his hand, followed by a fat cook who nodded and bowed, and inside the plate was a large steamed crab.
"Madam, the boat is shabby, there is nothing to eat, I asked the cook to steam a crab, and some aged vinegar and ginger shreds, you will eat some!"
"Captain He is too polite, it's good to have a stutter on this ocean, how can you still pick and choose!" Ruan Thi Yuwan smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Captain He's posture.
However, she also knew that this pirate He Hezai, nicknamed the big carp, was not a good stubble, he had a few big fortune ships under his command, and more than 100 pirates were all people who could fight well, and he was so polite to Ruan's Yuwan, just because she was Ye Kai's main wife.
"Captain Ho, how long do we have to get to Pan Chet?" Ruan Shi Yuwan watched the chef led by He Hezai skillfully remove the crab legs and claws, and then carefully untie the crab shell and clean the crab gills, etc., nodded and asked.
Behind this big carp, there are twenty-two large and small sea boats, all of which were transferred by Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan through the Ye family's Long Sheng.
It was loaded with about 5,000 Quang Nam farmers, as well as the military supplies she had sold for their houses, furniture, and rice from Bangkok.
After Ruan Thi Yuwan walked to Hexian Town with more than 80,000 people on his stomach, he heard the news that Ruan Fuying and Ye Kai had successfully defeated Jiading and had already led a large army to attack Phan Che.
Ruan Thi Ngoc Wan, who was quite bold, immediately made a bold decision to let Ruan Meng and other civil officials take most of the people to Jiading.
And she took most of the supplies, as well as the more than 5,000 people who had already stated that they would follow her when they were in Hexian Town, and went directly to Pan Che north by Yang Fan.
Ruan Shi Yuwan secretly thought, Ruan Hui is seriously ill now, and a fortified city like Jiading is basically a drum down, what is the difficulty of little Pan Che?
At that time, with their own 5,000 men and materials, Ruan Phuc Anh and Ye Kai will be able to quickly stabilize the rule of Phan Thiet, so that they can build a defense line around Phan Thiet as soon as possible to intercept the southward movement of the Xishan Army.
What's more, she has made such a great contribution now, and her brother Ruan Phuc Anh is embarrassed to go back to these 5,000 people?
"Pan Che has arrived, Pan Che has arrived!" Before the crab could eat, the sailors on the mast were shouting loudly.
Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan immediately walked out of the cabin happily, in fact, she didn't like the feeling of being on the boat, she always felt like she was hanging in the air.
"Madame! A little off! Before asking, He Hezai walked over with a solemn face.
"Madam, you see, there are many people in this port called Mui Ne on weekdays, why is it so quiet now? There must be a problem! ”
The place where Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan and them went was the famous Mui Ne Beach in Phan Thiet, which was claimed to be the only place in the world where the beach was a desert, and it was one of the favorite resorts for Chinese people to travel to Vietnam in later generations.
"Third child, you take Pig Fat Boy and a few brothers who can fight up to see what happened? Could it be that the chief is attacking Phan Thiet and scaring away all the fishermen nearby! ”
He Hezai waved his hand, and the pirate he called the third child went to prepare the boat.
The fat pig boy who was like a giant spirit god touched his head happily, "Brother Yuyu, are you going to fight?" Isn't it time to give out a bounty? ”
"Poof!" Ruan Thi Yuwan really couldn't hold back, and there was really no one to call such a fierce pirate leader Brother Yuyu.
He Hezai turned his head and glanced at the pig fat boy angrily, this fool, after the last battle of Terengganu, Ye opened a large reward, and the others took the money to occupy a lot of local people's houses, and first married a house of indigenous concubines to start a family.
But this guy, such a large amount of reward, all of them have eaten and drank!
As soon as he hears that there is a situation, he thinks about taking the reward, and after taking the reward, he can eat well every day.
He Hezai said that he wouldn't do it if he found an indigenous wife, because Pig Fat felt that if he found a wife, he would give half of what he wanted to eat to his wife, which was not cost-effective!
With a chuckle, Ruan Thi Yuwan quickly covered his mouth, and he looked at the fat pig with a longing face.
"Fat boy, today is not a war, but you go ashore to catch a few locals, bring them to the boat for questioning, and Madame will reward you!"
Hearing the reward, the pig fat boy nodded excitedly!
Pan Che, the eastern part of the city is about to be beaten into white ground, up and down the city wall, at least hundreds of corpses are upside down, countless Xishan troops are swarming up, and the Quang Nam soldiers on the city wall are also howling and fighting hard.
Ever since Nguyen Phuc Anh broke through into Phan Thiet, Chen Kuan Yew did not forcibly attack the city, but had been waiting after capturing the thousands of people abandoned by Nguyen Phuc Anh.
As for what to wait for, Nguyen Phuc Anh knew, Chen Guangyao came to besiege Phan Thiet after waiting for Ruan Hui to solve the rear army of Ye Kai and Li Van Quanh.
But today, Chen Guangyao is unusual, he has been storming Phan Thiet for most of the day, could it be that Nguyen Hui has arrived?
Ruan Fuying looked around with a telescope, his eyes were almost blind, but he still didn't see Ruan Hui's big curtain.
However, Ruan Hui definitely won't be able to arrive, Ye Kai has already arrived, and he can even hear the gunfire of Pan Checheng.
But he was still walking slowly, not in a hurry to rescue Ruan Fuying, what was he doing so quickly? Isn't it good to let Chen Guangyao beat Ruan Phuc Ying?
After the battle of Dividing the Water Liang, Ye Kai already had a preliminary understanding of the Xishan Dynasty and the Xishan Army, Ruan Hui is indeed a generation of famous generals, but he is still an old-style famous general, and the more than 20,000 people under him are indeed elites, counting more than a hundred years ago, it may be worse than the peak of the Manchu Eight Banners.
But speaking of which, Ruan Hui and his army, from thinking to training and equipment, are still old-fashioned, and cannot be compared with the new-style army trained by Ye Kai, it is only a matter of time before they defeat Ruan Hui, and the longer the time, the greater Ye Kai's advantage.
And Ye Kai remembered that although it was fake that Ruan Hui was seriously ill now, his lifespan was not long, and Ye Kai didn't know the exact time, but Ruan Hui definitely didn't live past the eighteenth century, that is to say, the current pillar of the Xishan Dynasty has twelve or thirteen years to live at most.
So now, Ye Kai is happy to see Chen Guangyao beat Ruan Fuying violently, and when he has almost done Ruan Fuying's pillar force, he can only rely on Ye Kai more deeply.
At that time, it will be much easier for Ye Kai to replace him, or to hold him high and get him to be Emperor Han Xian in the Jiading Palace!
