Chapter 198: The Ye Family's Pair in the Room (2)
The conversation in the room continued, and Ruan Thi Ngoc Wan was extremely excited, a feeling of recognition that he had never felt before, which stimulated him to be dizzy.
In fact, she was very interested in this kind of topic, but unfortunately, when she was in Quang Nam, every time she wanted to give some advice to her brother, she would attract a few words from Nguyen Phuc Anh 'women's opinion', or "How can you talk about such a thing as a woman and a child?"
But Ye Kai, he doesn't have the idea that women are not allowed to interfere in politics at all, in his opinion, it is very normal for husband and wife to discuss these things.
"So, are you optimistic that your brother will be able to restore Quang Nam?" Ye Kai touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but my brother is indeed not the opponent of Xishan Ruan Hui and other thieves, my brother is actually fierce and timid, wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, sometimes radical and aggressive, sometimes too conservative.
Although he is very good among the successive lords of my Ruan family, he can survive setbacks without falling, and he can also gather talents.
But he is not the lord of Zhongxing like Han Zhongzong and Tang Xuanzong, let alone the hero of Xingfu rivers and mountains such as Han Guangwu, at best, he is just a Hebei Yuan Benchu! ”
Ruan Thi Ngoc Wan said it quickly and quickly, and it could be seen that these words had been echoing in his mind many times a long time ago, but he had only now confided in them.
"Then since he is at most Yuan Benchu, isn't it hopeless to restore Guangnan? We've bet heavily on your brother! ”
Ye Kai pretended to be nervous and asked, actually wanting to see what Ruan Shi Yuwan would say.
"No, he can recover!" Ruan Shi Yuwan shook his head, "The land of Guangnan, a small state outside the country, even if the entire Annan is just a small place compared to the Central Plains Celestial Empire, how can you use a master of heaven with such eloquence as Han Guangwu, one Yuan Benchu is enough!"
The Xishan thieves are endless, regardless of the people's livelihood, but now they are just because Ruan Hui is a thief who is very strategic, and he barely maintains an elite army!
My brother is only twenty-five this year, and he can completely consume Ruan Hui, and when this thief dies, and Hou Ye invites Western soldiers, he will be able to restore Quang Nam! ”
it! Ye Kai's eyes widened, this woman really has a political vision and vision, Ruan Hui is indeed currently sick, and time is short.
Historically, Nguyen Phuc Anh received the news that Nguyen Hue was not long in coming, so he returned to Quang Nam to start arranging the attack.
As soon as Ruan Hui died, the once famous Xishan Army directly pulled his crotch, but in just three months, he fell rapidly in free fall.
"Then, according to your analysis, should the Westerner soldiers and the Westerner giant ship I brought with me be sent to Bangkok and returned to your brother, or should they be detained for my use?"
Ruan Shi Yuwan looked at Ye Kai, this topic is not easy to answer, saying that he would be unhappy to return Ye Kai, saying that if he doesn't return it, what should he do with his brother who is waiting in Longqiu?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ruan's Yuwan took a deep breath and looked at Ye Kai and said, "I think Hou Ye should return it, because if Hou Ye wants to do something big, his reputation is far more useful than those few Westerner giant ships."
People don't stand without faith, you were originally a messenger sent by my brother to ask for help, but now you want to detain the borrowed soldiers privately and refuse to give them, so what will they think of Hou Ye in this land of South Seas, whether it is Chinese or Malays?
How credible is what you're saying?
And if Hou Ye can't win the trust of the Nanyang Chinese, just relying on the hundreds of thousands of people in the Ye family, when will he be able to reject Baiyi in the west, accept Zhuhua inside, and achieve the merit of eternity? ”
What Ruan Shi Yuwan said is what later generations said about soft power and hard power, originally Ye Kai thought that by the time he came back from Europe, the Ye family would have 500,000 people.
But as a result, I didn't expect that not only did the Ye family's clansmen not have a useful point, but also had a traitor like Ye Futai, and the rest were all guys who pulled their crotches as soon as they did something, so far, let alone 500,000 mouths, even 100,000 almost didn't keep it.
And Ye Kai didn't wait for another three or five years to accumulate a population of 500,000, whether it was internal factors or the external environment.
In this way, the Chinese diaspora has become important again, just as Nguyen Thi Ngoc Wan said, he now needs to hold high the banner of the Chinese and build himself into the protector of the Chinese in Nanyang, so as to absorb the strength of the Chinese diaspora everywhere and strengthen himself as soon as possible.
To do this, that good reputation is very important, such as Song Jiang in the Water Margin, whether it is martial arts, strategy, background, or education level, it cannot be compared with other Liangshan heroes, and even his appearance is extremely stretched, such a person can become the lord of Liangshan, relying on his reputation as Hei Saburo and Shiyu.
Now Ye Kai also needs such a reputation, so he can't detain the mercenaries and warships that France supported Ruan Fuying, otherwise this reputation of timely rain will not be erected!
"Alright! You're right, I'll return those five Westerner ships and the 1,400 soldiers of the Second Regiment to your brother! After thinking about it for a while, Ye Kai made a decision.
Poof! Ruan Shi Yuwan smiled proudly, since Ye Kai made a big fuss from Longqiu, she has been crushed by Ye Kai from all sides.
The personal maid was forced to give him a warm foot, and he was finally reluctantly sent to this person's bed, it can be said that Ye Kai after crossing gave Ruan Shi Yuwan a lot of pressure.
But now, this woman, who often received imperial education with several brothers, has finally found a place where she is better than Ye Kai, which makes her very excited.
"What? Is there something wrong? Can't send it back? Ye Kai scratched his head, looked at Ruan Shi Yuwan and asked.
"It's supposed to be sent, but it can't be sent!" Ruan Thi Yuwan took the tea bowl that Ye Kai had drunk, drank the tea in the bowl in one go, and then continued to speak.
"Master Hou can return the five Westerner giant ships to my brother, but those 1,400 Westerner elite soldiers can be postponed one step!
Now that the Bugis Ibrahim Sultan, with the support of the Dutch, has trained 25,000 elite soldiers, and the available soldiers in the hands of the Hou Ye are already few, how can he still send these 1,400 elite soldiers away? ”
Speaking of this, Ruan's Yuwan paused slightly, "If Hou Ye can trust me, Yu Wan is willing to write a sincere letter to Hou Ye and go to Longqiu in person, explain your plight in Pattani to my brother in detail, and request that these 1,400 elite soldiers of the West be left in Pattani first, and then returned to Longqiu after defeating the Bugis!" ”
Ye Kai touched his chin and looked at Ruan's Yuwan with an excited face, do you want to trust this woman?
It is said that now that she has been married to herself for more than two years, there should be no need to harm herself again, right?
A woman who betrayed and framed her husband should not appear in Vietnamese society with strong Confucian culture, right?
"Husband, what are you afraid of? Yuwan did do things that were not good for you before, but we weren't husband and wife at that time!
Now you and I have long been connected, if the husband can achieve the hegemony of the king, the concubine will naturally be able to mother the world, if the husband is defeated, what benefit can the concubine get? Since entering the Ye family, Ruan's Yuwan has been a member of the Ye family! Ruan Thi Yuwan's voice began to grow sweet!
