Chapter 12 The undefeated Ruan Xiaoqiang

Early in the morning, after some twists and turns, everyone finally set off, Zhu Wenxiang was next to Ye Kai, including him, seven Guangnan warriors sandwiched Ye Kai and Anna in the middle, and there was also a thin and tall Guangnan warrior who was the least injured, and he had already returned to Longqiu to report the news!

Speaking of Ruan Fuying, Ye Kai was really a little emotional, before he crossed over, he had an opportunity to work in a consulate in Thailand, so he had made up for the history of various countries in Southeast Asia, among the celebrities in Southeast Asia, this Ruan Fuying impressed him the most.

Nguyen Phuc Anh, the grandson of Nguyen Phuc Quo, the martial king of Quang Nam, was bright when he was young, but by the time he was a teenager, Nguyen's rule in Quang Nam was already stormy.

At the age of thirteen, Phu Xuan, the capital of Nguyen Quang Nam, was captured by the Zheng regime in the north, and Nguyen Phuc Anh fled south to Gia Dinh with his uncle Nguyen Phuc Chun.

Finally waited for the civil strife in the Zheng family, Nguyen Phuc Anh and they thought they could take a breath, but as a result, a more ruthless peasant rebel army came, a well-known ruthless man in Vietnamese history, the three brothers Nguyen Ngao, Nguyen Couple, and Nguyen Hue in Tay Son.

Immediately after Jia Dinh was captured by San Nguyen, Nguyen Phuc Anh's uncle Nguyen Phuc Chun, and a large number of cousins were all killed, and he himself escaped by chance, and was later elected as Generalissimo and Regent of Quan.

But this is not a good thing, he has become the key target of the Xishan Dynasty since then, three times to restore the country, three times were defeated by the Xishan Dynasty, just go to Phu Quoc Island to gnaw grass taro, 'Ruan Xiaoqiang' classmates went twice!

However, what impressed Ye Kai the most was not his unbeatable Xiaoqiang spirit, but that he alone looked like several celebrities in Chinese history.

In terms of personal experience, Ruan Fuying is of course the most similar to the ancestor of Houheixue, Comrade Liu Xuande, this Han clan member was driven from the north to the south by Cao Cao, and went through hardships.

Ruan Phuc Anh is the same, he was also chased by the Xishan Dynasty and ran around the Indochina Peninsula, and he also harmed Siam and Chenla, who supported him, and was violently beaten by the Xishan Dynasty, both of them belong to the kind of Xiaoqiang who is more and more courageous and can't be killed!

But what impressed Ye Kai the most was this, in 1781, Ruan Phuc Anh, who had basically recovered from the country, did an extremely risky thing!

He falsely claimed to be ill, deceived his second-in-command, the mainstay minister of Guangnan State, the foreign right, auxiliary government, and general Du Qingren to the palace, and then ordered the palace guards to kill Du Qingren.

You must know that Du Thanh Ren, since Nguyen Phuc Chun, has been an indispensable figure in Quang Nam, and has served three lords before and after.

At this time, the Dongshan Army, the pillar of force of the Ruan Dynasty, was also established by Du Qingren, so as soon as Du Qingren died, the Dongshan Army basically collapsed immediately!

At the same time, the Tay Son Dynasty, which has always been concerned about the south, will certainly not miss this opportunity, and Nguyen Hue immediately led 30,000 troops to the south and successfully sent Nguyen Phuc Anh to Phu Quoc Island to nibble on the straw potato for two months!

What Ruan Fuying felt when he did this, Ye Kai didn't know, but when he read this history, he felt quite frightened, and the risk of doing so was too great!

If there is a Du Qingren's eyeliner in the palace, or if Du Qingren brings more guards into the palace, or simply more people loyal to Du Qingren in the Dongshan Army, whatever goes wrong, things will become out of control!

And even if Ruan Fuying is lucky and successful, but the outside is still quiet, Xishan San Ruan Ke is still eyeing it!

To be honest, the consequence of this incident turned out to be just that Ruan Phuc Ying went to Phu Quoc Island to gnaw on the straw potatoes for two months, and it was already his kid's luck to burst!

The last one who was as bold as him was my 'saint' lord of the Qing Dynasty, the rabbit terminator Kang Mazi.

No! Kang Mazi is not as bold as Ruan Fuying, at least there is no terrifying foreign enemy like Xishan Dynasty outside Kang Mazi, and Ao Bai is not like Du Qingren, he is not so indispensable to Kang Mazi!

So in Ye Kai's heart, he thinks that Ruan Fuying is a brainless Kang Mazi, smart, bold, and ruthless.

Nguyen Phuc Anh's god-like third person will start from the second year he killed Du Thanh Ren, in 1782.

After killing Du Thanh Nhen, Nguyen Phuc Anh was extremely afraid of the attack of the Xishan Dynasty, so he bought three warships from the Portuguese at a large price and hired the French adventurer Manuel and his Western sailors.

Note that Nguyen Phuc Anh did not buy three warships, but three warships, which are modern warships in the true sense!

By the standards of the British Navy at that time, it was a battleship of the third rank and two fast ships of three masts.

Among them, the third-class battleship is 70 ships, that is, it has three decks and 28 32-pounder guns, 28 18-pounder guns, 14 nine-pounder guns, a total of 70 heavy guns!

The other two ships also have about 50 heavy guns, and the three ships also have no less than 400 Western sailors, all of whom are equipped with brown bass flintlock pistols that are quite advanced in the Far East.

With such a powerful combat power, Ruan Fuying was of course full of confidence, he felt that he had already flying dragon riding face, how could he fight against such a powerful fleet with those small sampans in the West Mountain!

So on the day of the war, when the fleet was in a tailwind, Nguyen Phuc Anh directly ordered three warships to rush over and sink Ruan Hue's ship, and it was all in one battle!

According to the plan of the French Manuel in advance, they should use their powerful firepower and mobility to kill the warships of the Tay Son Dynasty one by one, wait until the morale of the Sai Son Dynasty naval army is destroyed, and then rush up to take down the leader of the Tay Son Army, Nguyen Hue!

This is definitely a correct policy, but Ruan Phuc Anh can't wait, as soon as he closes his eyes, he is the scene of his uncle, brother, and sister dying tragically under the knife of the West Mountain Bandits, and now that he has such a powerful navy, he should rush over directly to take revenge!

Since the warship was bought by Nguyen Phuc Anh and he was just a mercenary, and Manuel himself despised the Xishan Landscape Army, the French adventurer agreed to Nguyen Phuc Anh's battle plan and decided to go straight to the Yellow Dragon!

On the side of Xishan Nguyen Huy, as a dynasty from the peasant uprising to the Dingding of the world, the Xishan Dynasty was in a period of its prosperity, and everyone was united and their morale was high.

They prepared hundreds of small boats with a load of dozens of tons, full of fire-starters, each of which was driven by a few to a dozen dead soldiers, ready to rush up to carry out fire attacks, which was also their only way!

Originally, Ruan Hui was worried about the maneuverability of Ruan Phuc Anh's Western warships, but when she saw them rushing over by herself, she was overjoyed!

As soon as he gave an order, hundreds of 'precision-guided' fireships rushed towards Nguyen Phuc Anh's warship, and at this time, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the warship of Nguyen Phuc Anh, which was originally downwind, turned into a headwind, and the maneuverability advantage of Western warships disappeared at once.

Poor Frenchman Manuel, surrounded by hundreds of fireships, although the battleships were coated with fireproof materials, there were too many fireships!

They smashed ten more than ten, and after a while, the main third-class battleship began to burst into flames everywhere, and Manuel hurriedly raised the flag and asked two three-masted fast battleships in the distance to come to the rescue!

If Ruan Phuc Anh's mind could be clearer at this time, this three-level battleship, which was extremely powerful in the Far East, could still be saved.

But Ruan Phuc Anh, who was suddenly hit, remembered the fear of being dominated by the Western Mountain Thieves, and remembered the days when he was chased and fled in a hurry, these three warships were bought by Ruan Phuc Anh with all the strength of the country, but they can't all be lost!

So frightened, Nguyen Phuc Anh refused Manuel's request for help, and he decided to implement the strategy that the French had formulated at the beginning, that is, to use the advantages of range, firepower and maneuver to kill the Sai Son Dynasty's naval army!

But the key point of this tactic is that the third-class battleship that Manuel is riding on has lost 70 cannons at once, and how much firepower advantage can you have on this undulating sea?

And all the sampans in the Xishan Dynasty are small, and he is still afraid of a hairy kill, and if you sink a hundred of him, it will not be worth the loss of sinking a third-class battleship!

What's more, don't look at this tactic is easy to say, but it is by no means simple to command, the Frenchman Manuel can, Nguyen Phuc Anh can't even row, what command does he take?
