Chapter 212: Retreat as Advance Ruan Fuying
At the port of Pattani, the flag was unfurled, and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan walked down from the three-masted fast battleship of the Interceptor with a proud face.
This trip back to his parents' house made him feel extraordinarily beautiful, not only did his mother, who was not very satisfied with her before, become amiable, but even his brother Ruan Phuc Anh, who had angrily scolded her for not saying much, was also extremely close to her.
The reason why she, the daughter of the Nguyen family, who was originally the least favored, was able to get such courtesy was all because of her husband, the head of the Ye Reconstruction Company, Hou Ye Kai of Saigon County.
The five mountain-like Westerner giant ships, the third-class battleship renamed Fuchun alone had 74 huge cannons, and the fleet was accompanied by more than 1,000 Westerner sailors, plus 200 black flintlock pikemen, and military supplies worth 900,000 lifolks.
The ships and materials of such a large scale were all invited by her husband for her brother, and this credit, when the Ruan family returned to the country in the future, should be the first credit, even a king with a different surname deserves it!
As for Ye Kai provoking the Queen of France in Europa or something, Ruan's Yuwan doesn't care, how can there be fewer women around the big men of the princess Wandai?
Ye Kai looked at the Quang Nam soldiers who kept getting off the ship, and he still admired Ruan Phuc Ying a little in his heart, sure enough, the founding monarch who could leave a name in history had two brushes.
When Ye Kai was still worried about whether Ruan Fuying would be angry because he had intercepted the 1,200 French soldiers belonging to him, the people were even more simply, not only did they say no angrily, but they also sent him an additional 2,000 elite Quang Nam soldiers.
What a trick to retreat into advance! High!
If Ruan Fuying is dissatisfied because Ye Kai intercepted the French soldiers, Ye Kai can in turn accuse Ruan Fuying of being unkind and inconsiderate of his subordinates.
My side urgently needs soldiers to attack the Bugis people to take revenge, as an in-law, I don't support it, I want to let people go, it's definitely impersonal and unkind, Ye Kai has an excuse to continue to fight with him.
But Ruan Fuying, not only did he ask about the soldiers being intercepted, but also sent 2,000 elite Guangnan soldiers to help him, which was a great favor.
Not only does Ye Kai need to return the French soldiers to people after he finishes fighting the Bugis, but I am afraid that he will have to draw people from the elite soldiers of the Ye family to help Ruan Fu Ying restore the country, so that it can be shown that he Ye Kai is a person who knows how to repay his kindness!
And with the help of this incident, Ruan Fuying set up his character as a corporal of courtesy, magnanimity, and a sage who values love and righteousness, and showed it to the whole of Nanyang, which is simply a lot of wins with one stone!
"Husband! My brother has sent the Left Battalion of the Praetorian Guard to help you, and these two thousand elite soldiers were all commanded by you in the Battle of Chiang Rai, and with it, two thousand rice and food supplies.
The elder brother also said that although he could not personally raise soldiers to avenge your clan, he hoped that these two thousand Praetorian guards would help you to achieve victory! Ruan Thi Yuwan walked over with a red face surrounded by several Quang Nam eunuchs.
It's really in place, Ye Kai sighed in his heart, not only did two thousand people come, but even the military rations were provided by himself, it seems that he owes this big favor.
"My brother is so thoughtful, it really makes me ashamed, and after I break the Bugis people to take revenge, I will immediately lead the army to the north and die to restore the Nguyen family business!"
Ye Kai arched his hand, raised his head to the sky, brewed emotions for a long time, and finally succeeded in making his eye circles a little wet.
A eunuch behind Ruan's Yuwan glanced at Ye Kai concealedly, and nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the Marquis of Saigon County is indeed revealing his true feelings, not like a fake!
"Brother Ye..., Chief Ye, I was ordered by Brother He to lead five hundred elite soldiers to help you!"
On the left side behind Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan, there stood a man wearing the uniform of an armed officer in Quang Nam.
Ye Kai took a closer look, and it turned out to be He Xiwen's cronies, Huang Zhongtong, who had compared marksmanship with him.
Ye Kai laughed twice and walked over, "Brother Huang, why be polite, what is your name, what is your name, it's better to call me Brother Ye!" ”
It seems that He Xiwen still remembers his brother-in-law, Huang Zhongtong is the number one general in He Xiwen's camp, and He Xiwen's position as the capital camp in history has also been passed to him, and the five hundred elite soldiers he brought should be very combative.
Well, with these two thousand five hundred people, Ye Kai's strength has reached seven thousand five hundred, and they are all elites, and after a month of joint training, he can go to the trouble of the Bugis, even if the Dutch intervene on a small scale, he is not afraid!
。。。
Batavia, later the capital of Indonesia, is now home to the Dutch East India Company's East India Governorate.
Since the conquest of the city in 1619, the Dutch have been here for 160 years, and they are more like the natives of the South Seas than the Chinese, many Dutch live and die here, and many of the native whites have never been to the Netherlands at all.
The Governor's Palace, a European-style building with white walls and red roofs, stands on higher ground in Batavia.
Although the Dutch have been here for 160 years, malaria, cholera, dysentery and other diseases have never been far from the colonial city in those 160 years.
There is a tradition that a large-scale epidemic will break out every 40 years, so the Dutch colonists with better conditions have basically built their houses on the hills far from the waterholes.
William. Arnold. Edlin, the 32nd Governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company, was standing frowning in front of his office window, looking at the depressed city of Batavia, full of love for his former former governor. Walgeniel's resentment.
This hopelessly stupid fool turned a small incident of dissatisfaction and complaints among Chinese bankrupts due to the impact of the Brazilian sugar industry into a massacre against the Chinese.
Whether it was rumors that the Chinese were going to be sent to the island of Ceylon, or the dissatisfaction of the Chinese with the Batavian authorities, in fact, they were within the scope of control at first.
But this Vargenier, he messed everything up, more than 10,000 Chinese were killed, the natives were also killed and wounded two or three thousand, and the Dutch soldiers were killed and killed dozens of people.
But this was not the most important thing, and the most important thing was that from then on, the Chinese had developed great hostility towards the Dutch governor in Batavia.
As a result, although forty-seven years have passed, there are still less than 3,000 Chinese in Batavia, far from the more than 50,000 in its heyday.
And the Chinese are precisely the most important, if not the only wealth creators in Nanyang, and their departure has led to the extreme weakness of Batavia, and also led to a sharp decline in the profits of the United East India Company!
And just last year, in order to fight against the alliance between the British and the Pattani Ye family, the Dutch armed the Bugis, who had been hostile for decades, hoping to let these natives who still had some combat power in Nanyang fight against the Ye family.
But! Governor Edlin sighed!
But who knew that the Bugis were some stupid fools who were even more stupid than Walgenir, and they actually launched a massacre against civilians in Taogong City, which was controlled by the Ye family, killing 3,000 people at once.
At this time, even the remaining 3,000 Chinese in Batavia were about to run out, because all the Chinese in Nanyang were rumoring that the massacre in Taogongcheng was done by the Dutch at the behest of the Bugis.
In Batavia today, there is no one to harvest the rice and sugar cane that grows in the fields, there are no porters at the wharves, no workers in the processing workshops, and no small Chinese traders walking the streets.
All of Batavia, except for the Dutch, was a strangely lazy black native, the most important asset of the United East India Company, now as dead as a tomb!
"Your Excellency the Governor, important information, that Ye family patriarch Zinedine who came back from France has raided Kuala Terengganu!"
Batavia Mayor De. Cork hurried into the Governor's office and brought Governor Edlin a shocking piece of news.
"How's the battle going? I guess Terengganu is about to fall! With a sigh, Governor Edlin turned around and asked.
"Nope! Lord Governor, Terengganu City has fallen, and it only took half a day for the Ye family to become the new owner of Terengganu City. "De. Cork bitterly squeezed a few words out of his mouth.
"What? How could it be so fast? And what about Omar Sultan? Did he run away? ”
