Early the next morning, the Chinese businessmen came again and sent supplies for the labor army, and Shi Tongan named Gan Hui to see him, saying that he had something important!

Gan Hui was resting on the flagship, he received the news from the speedboat, and after thinking about it, he took a boat to the pier to see what was going on.

It's worth the trip, Shi Tongan didn't wear an official robe this time, and sent two gift lists, one is a list of labor and army supplies, and the other is a list of densely packed names, and these people together donated 100,000 silver dollars to the Southeast Mansion!

100,000 silver dollars, which seems to be a lot, but it is earned by Chinese businessmen with great hard work.

Although the Chinese businessmen made some money, it was not easy, it was very hard, and they risked their lives!

When they were working hard for life in a foreign country, their feelings were still firmly rooted in their hometown, and many Chinese businessmen lived a simple life, but they did not hesitate to donate so much money to the southeast government!

These silver dollars have been mixed in the merchant ships loaded with labor and military supplies!

Gan Hui was moved by this, and immediately invited him to see Yan Changwu----- so much money opened the way, and he was qualified to see the driver.

So the seven representatives of Chinese businessmen met Yan Dashao, and they were also worthy of this trip, they saw that this young military strongman was as powerful as the newborn sunrise, and promised them that my Southeast Mansion was definitely a strong backing for foreign Chinese businessmen!

The two sides talked happily,

……

Gan Hui was ordered to see Ruan Fu'an and expressed some dissatisfaction (people have also given you 23,000 silver dollars, you should be modest, salute first and then soldier), Gan Hui said: "Our southeast government respects your interests, but for the interests of my people outside, I also hope that you will protect their personal and property and collect taxes reasonably!" ”

Ruan Fu'an's eyes blinked, and he said pitifully: "Xiaguan will definitely truthfully play the will of Deputy Gan to the lord of our country!" ”

"Very good!" Gan Hui said: "I hope that when we pass by on the return trip, there will be a satisfactory answer!" ”

After he left, Ruan Fuan's face suddenly became gloomy!

This Ming man has money, and he will not slaughter them!

The Nguyen lords set up taxes, mining taxes, import and export taxes, etc., to maintain the Nguyen lord's finances, which were used to build fortresses, cast cannons, and feed the army.

The national government is not easy, there is a strong Zheng lord in the north, Zheng lord controls three times the population of Ruan Zhu, Zheng lord rules about 1.8 million population, Ruan lord rules about 600,000 population, the strength of the two sides is very different, do not ask for money from the Ming people, how can you resist Zheng Zhu!

In the past, the Ming people were very easy to bully, they were scattered, often fighting in the nest, competing to dismantle the stage for a little benefit, and could not form a joint force.

The Hoi An authorities can manipulate them at will, and even if they are dissatisfied, they will not dare to oppose the authorities.

But when the Southeast Mansion came to support them, Ruan Fuan felt deeply troubled.

Their soldiers were tall and strong, well-equipped, and Nguyen Phuc An had the insight to see that they were not strong on the outside, but had seen blood in battle.

Yesterday he was busier than ever, and he sent a letter to Hue (the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty) to discuss with his staff about the arrival of the Ming fleet, and it was obvious that the Ming fleet had gone to find someone to fight!

Who to look for?

In terms of routes, the Dutch in Batavia bore the brunt.

Frightened, they actually dared to pick the Dutch, which really surprised Ruan Fuan.

Because in Southeast Asia, the Dutch are the strongest!

Their ships ran everywhere, overpowering the Portuguese and the British.

One of the staff members even made a surprising point, saying that there have been many fewer Dutch ships in recent times, and it is very likely that they are gathering to prepare for the invasion of the Ming fleet!

Everyone thinks about it, there are indeed a lot fewer Dutch ships!

Akito is amazing!

However, this kind of thing is not his turn to worry, Nguyen Phu An started to write a recital and report to Hue, so I don't know what good strategy Tao Weici has for Lord Nguyen's military advisor to deal with the Ming people!

Tao Weici was a scholar and doctor of the Nguyen lord of Quang Nam in the northern and southern dynasties of Vietnam, and a counselor and military advisor of the Buddhist lord Nguyen Phuc Yuan.

In 1630, under the auspices of Tao Weici, two fortifications to defend the Zheng army were established - Chai Lei and Chang De Lei, relying on these two large long bases from the mountain to the sea, the weak Ruan Zhu withstood the attack of Zheng Zhu.

So let Tao Weici have a headache!

Nguyen Phuc An gloated that Tao Wei Ci was not small in power, and many people were jealous of him, including Nguyen Fu An, according to him, Ren Tao Wei Ci was wiser than Zhuge Liang (Tao Wei Ci wrote the famous "Wollongong" in Vietnamese history, comparing himself to Zhuge Liang), but the Ming people who came should be regarded as the big Sima Yi!

all

Fortunately, he was smart and spent a lot of money, but as a result, the Gan deputy seat talked to him in a good voice and did not force him.

He wrote a good song and sent someone to send Hue urgently.

……

The ancient capital of Hue City is located in the middle of Annam, with the Xiang River running through it, it is bordered by the Chang Son Mountains in the west, ten kilometers away from the sea in the east, with an area of 100 square kilometers and a population of about 200,000 (1631 AD). Hue City was built on a narrow plain on the banks of the Xiang River, close to the plant-rich mountain - Ngoc Ping Mountain. The climate is a tropical maritime climate, with high temperature and rain in summer, warm and little rain in winter, and beautiful scenery.

This was the ruling center of the Nguyen Dynasty, and the Nguyen lord created his own ruling structure. Its political power has the "three divisions" (the division of the mission, the division of the generals, the division of the order and history) and the prefect of the county and other official offices; Lord Ruan established the imperial examination and personally presided over it; The establishment of armed forces, the reorganization of the army, the establishment of artillery foundries, shooting ranges and other structures, quite prosperous.

Its palace room "Changming Palace" is known as imitating the Ming Dynasty Nanjing Palace City built, set up four gates, there are moats, palace city and, the building is atmospheric, it is the most luxurious style of the Ruan Dynasty.

In the side hall, Nguyen Phuc Nguyen was discussing Nguyen Phuc An's decision with his loyal minister Tao Van Ci, and Nguyen Phuc An reported that when he sent a large fleet of 52 warships to pass through Hoi An, he demanded fair treatment for the Ming people......

Ruan Fuyuan's beard is white, he is already very old, and he has experienced all kinds of storms, but this time the wind and waves from the South China Sea dare not be underestimated!

At this time, he frowned, and said to Tao Weici: "Sir, do you have high opinions? ”

Tao Weici is dressed as a scribe and a Ming man, holding a feather fan and pretending to B, fortunately, it is hot in the south of Annan, otherwise it is winter, he actually shakes a fan, and everyone thinks he is crazy!

"Buddha (honorific title for Lord Ruan), if what Ruan Fuan said is true, we must not take it lightly!" Tao Weici shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Ming people are not enough to achieve, and there are more than failures!" ”

Ruan Fuyuan nodded knowingly, although the Ming fleet could not go ashore to deal with the Ruan Dynasty, the problem was that if they blocked the port, Hoi An, who laid golden eggs, would have no harvest, unlike the Zheng lord in the north, he had many people in the place, and he had a lot of land endowments, and his dependence on the port was lighter than that of Ruan Zhu.

"The minister heard that the southeast government collects water guides, and the domestic ships receive 2,000 silver dollars, and the foreign ships collect 3,000 taels of silver, we can compare them, and just collect 3,000 taels of silver per ship from the Ming people!" Tao Weici said again: "After accepting this silver tael, you will not be allowed to accept other silver, and Ruan Fuan will implement it carefully, so as not to anger the Ming people." ”

Ruan Fuyuan: "Sir's words are safe! "He was in pain, and he only received three thousand taels of silver from a boat, how many taels did he collect!

After he made his decision, he sent someone to inform Nguyen Phuc An, who also knew that it was powerful and ordered his subordinates to do the same.

The upper echelons of the Ruan Dynasty know that they are powerful, but the world is unpredictable, the upper echelons can talk about the overall situation, but the officials below have to talk about small money...... This gave birth to an incident that Annan Zhuge Liang could not even imagine!
