Chapter 321: Emperor Zhaotong is gone
"I call you an immortal!" In the city of Shenglong, in the palace of the Li Dynasty, Ye Kai blurted out a sentence of Sichuan and Chongqing scolding.
It's been almost five years since he came to this world, Ye Kai speaks vernacular, Hakka, and Vietnamese, but rarely speaks his own language, Sichuan-Chongqing anymore.
This will be said because Ye Kai was really angry, and he now knows that he was deceived by Ruan Hui and fell for his golden cicada shell plan.
With a low groan, Fan Gongzhi, who had washed and changed his clothes again, was dragged over, Ye Kai originally wanted to dress him up and then parade through the streets of Shenglong City to show his majesty.
What heroes cherish heroes, bullshit! He is a traveler and a Vietnamese who talk about heroes and cherish heroes.
But the props for the parade were ready, and Wu Wenyong went over to see that it was a Mao Ruan Hui, and it was Fan Gongzhi, the nephew of Ruan Hui.
"Ye Tang Kou, Rao is you treacherous like a ghost, and you still fell for my uncle's plan, he is going to get away here, like a dragon swimming into the sea, and in the future, he will definitely come back to avenge me!"
Fan Gongzhi was a dead duck's mouth, and he sat on the ground with a sneering glint in his eyes.
"I'll you XX!" Ye Kai, who felt that he had lost his face, rushed up and kicked Fan Gongzhi to the ground.
"Father, please allow the child to cut out his heart and pay tribute to his deceased father!" Li Ashui walked to Ye Kai, who was angry, and pleaded loudly.
"Exactly! Hang his dog's head on the gate of the city again!" Ye Kai was also angry, and agreed with a wave of his hand.
"Why should the county prince be angry, Ruan Hui is invincible in the south of the sky, but when he meets the county prince, it is like a jackdaw meeting Luan Feng, who is the real lord of the world, everyone knows at a glance!
Even if Ruan Hui escapes to Zhongqi, but the dry bones in the mound, sooner or later will be captured by the county magistrate, the current major event should be to correct the name as soon as possible, revise the system, and deal with the wrath of the kingdom! ”
The person who spoke was slender and had a thin face, and it was none other than Wu Shiren, a waiter of the Xishan Military Industry Department who was captured in Bianshan.
It was quite happy for a Confucian student like him to surrender to Ye Kai, because they didn't like Ruan Hui in the first place, thinking that Ruan Hui was a traitor and a traitor, and a Li Chuang-style figure.
So there is no need for Ye Kai to persuade them at all, or put the knife on their necks, just a sentence of whether or not they are willing to surrender.
And this Wu Shiren is also a Han Chinese, the Wu family in Vietnam started from Wu Quan, Wu Quan is the founding father of the Wu Dynasty in Vietnam, but he also has another identity, this person is in the history of China, is classified in the ranks of the five generations of warlords in the late Tang Dynasty.
He was the son-in-law of Yang Tingyi, the envoy of the Southern Han Jing Navy, in 937 AD, Yang Tingyi was killed by the tooth general Jiao Gongxian, and the following year Wu Quan sent troops from Aizhou to kill Jiao Gongxian, and he served as the envoy of the Jiedu.
Then, in 939, Ngo Quan defeated the Southern Han army that had come to conquer him at Bai Teng River, and then proclaimed himself king, which was the independence of the Jing Navy Jiedu envoy and the beginning of Vietnam's independence from Middle-earth.
Therefore, the Wu family in Vietnam has always regarded itself as a Han Chinese, and their family has also studied Confucianism for generations, and is a famous family of poets and calligraphers in Vietnam.
In their eyes, Ye Kai, the former Ming Sect's outdoor family that had been separated by several generations, was much more noble than Ruan Hui's mud legs.
Moreover, because there are a large number of Ming Thanh people in Vietnam, especially near Hanoi, they are unwilling to shave their hair and change clothes, and most of the family temples still enshrine the portrait of Chongzhen.
Many people, like the reigning King of Jeongjo of Joseon, Li Su, still use the Chongzhen era name when recording what happened in China, and rarely use the Qing Dynasty year, these people are naturally close to Ye Kai.
And when Ye Kai was waiting for Sun Shiyi and Ruan Hui to open the film, in addition to recruiting righteous people, he sent Wu Shiren to contact the Ming villagers and scholars in the land of North Vietnam.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Ye Kai's victory over Ruan Hui came out, as soon as he entered the palace of the Li Dynasty, countless Ming gentry came to take refuge one after another, and there was a taste of eating pot pulp to welcome the king.
"What Mr. Da Xuan said is even, since I can defeat Ruan Hui once, I can defeat him two or three more times!
Now that there are Beiqi scribes like Mr. Wang, and military generals like General Pan and the two Huang generals to help me, how can Ruan Hue be our opponent!
It's just that although I am the son-in-law of the Ruan family in Quang Nam and a Han Chinese, I am an outsider after all, what system should I do now? Please sir teach me! ”
Ye Kai also calmed down, Ruan Hui ran away, he brought 65,000 troops this time, at least lost more than 50,000, and the most elite 5,000 Praetorian guards were almost gone, so it can be said that he has basically lost his old book.
On Ye Kai's side, not counting the righteous people of Beihe and Haiyang, the casualties of the Renaissance Army themselves were less than 4,000, of which more than 400 were killed in battle, more than 200 were killed, and the total number of soldiers sacrificed was less than 700.
With 16,000 men, he attacked the 65,000 men of the Xishan Army, and only more than 10,000 people were left on the other side.
Although there may be many people fleeing back to Zhongqi to find Ruan Hui one after another, many more will choose to run home quietly, and it would be good if Ruan Hui could finally gather 20,000 people.
Such a big victory is rare in the world, and more importantly, this battle greatly destroyed the confidence of the Tay Son Army from top to bottom, and it is basically impossible to fight against Ye Kai, who holds North Vietnam, with the narrow land and relatively scarce population of Zhongqi.
The most important thing now is indeed under what name to rule North Vietnam, what system to practice, and how to deal with the aftermath of the war with the Qing Dynasty.
According to the thinking of the North Vietnamese, the war with the Qing Dynasty would definitely not be fought, and they did not want to fight either.
In fact, Ye Kai didn't want to fight, now it is the right thing to hurry up and develop industrialization, and the Manchus will not run away on their own, and they will not suddenly engage in any Meiji Restoration, so there is no need to worry!
So now there is no need to rush to attack the Manchus now, accumulate strength, stabilize the rule in the four states of Nanyang, and incorporate Lanfang into their own system.
Even before the British came, occupying the entire island of Kalimantan and finally unifying Vietnam was the most important thing.
On the Manchu side, diplomacy and bloodsucking should be the mainstay, on the one hand, destroying the traditional male farmers and female weavers through smuggling and dumping industrial products, and on the other hand, funding the White Lotus cultists who were about to break out to disrupt the Manchu rule.
These two hands will definitely make the Manchus feel the pain of breaking their bones, and waiting for the chaos in Middle-earth is the best time for Ye Kai to go north.
While Ye was thinking happily, Wu Shiren proudly stroked a few strands of goatee under his chin.
Ye Kai's posture made him extremely satisfied, this is the attitude that Ming Jun should have towards famous ministers, Ruan Hui's expression was cruel, what a thief!
"The title of the county duke comes from the Quang Nam Nguyen family, although the Ruan family is also a century-old family, and the county prince is the son-in-law of the Ruan family, but the land of Beiqi has never belonged to the Ruan family, and it is not suitable to use this Binh Thuan county duke!
My Da Nan is not like the Celestial Empire, which usually names the new dynasty after the fief of the founding king, but uses the surname of the founding king as the name of the new dynasty.
The surname of the county prince Ye, from the surname of the Chu royal family, is one of the descendants of the five emperors, when the leaf can be the number, called the Ye Dynasty, the county prince is the bloodline of the Ming Shaowu Emperor, the old system of the Ming Dynasty can also! ”
Ye Kai nodded, "Mr. Da Xuan, I have an idea, I don't know what you sages think?" ”
"The county lord, please speak!" Standing in the room were Wu Van Dung, Ruan Van Xun, Pan Qide, Huang Fengyi, Huang Fengxin, and Wu Shiren.
and his father, Wu Shishi, all bowed down to give a salute, very satisfied with Ye Kai's current attitude towards them.
"Ruan Hui was rude, persecuted the emperor of the Li Dynasty, and recruited the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, although the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty suffered countless casualties on the bank of the Fuliang River, threatening to go temporarily, but this feud is even greater, and the Qianlong Emperor of the Northern Dynasty will definitely not rest.
Although we are waiting to expel Nguyen Hue now, it is still unknown whether the Northern Dynasty will distinguish us from Nguyen Hue!
If it is not handled properly and causes the war to prolong, it will not be good, you are not like Ruan Huina and other Nanqi people, Beiqi is our hometown, the war is prolonged, and it is we who suffer! ”
After Ye Kai's words were finished, the Beiqiyue people in the house all nodded in agreement.
This is the second reason why they dislike Ruan Hui, Ruan Hui came to make trouble with the wind and rain, once things were not harmonious, he patted his ass and ran to Nanqi, after all, it was the Beiqi people here who suffered.
"I think about it now, the Son of Heaven of the Li Dynasty fled in a hurry with the Governor of Sun of the Northern Dynasty, if the Northern Dynasty still uses the Son of Heaven of Zhaotong as the king of the Great South, it will be difficult to do!"
"The county prince, the matter of my Da Nan, should be decided by ourselves, Li Weiqi grovels to the governor of the Northern Dynasty, the Li family has long lost its authority, and the last general and others only recognize the county prince, and they can't recognize the Zhaotong Emperor!"
Wu Wenyong stood up and said loudly, and several other civil and military generals also hurriedly expressed their loyalty loudly.
Ye Kai waved his hand, "Of course I know your loyalty, but if this matter causes a military disaster, it is always not good!"
I have an idea, why don't I write a letter, give up this king of Annam, and please crown a king of Jiaozhi County, what do you think? ”
"Ahh A Vietnamese vote in the room immediately blew up.
"County Prince, don't do it! I Da Nan since the end of the Tang Dynasty five dynasties, does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Middle Earth, this Jiaozhi is the old name of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jiaozhi County King is tantamount to attached, this is a self-surrendered identity, how to obey the people of the world! ”
"Yes! County Prince, Mo Dengyong's car is not far ahead, and he must learn from it! When the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty arrive, we will fight the enemy together, and we must not surrender our identity! ”
Ye Kai was not surprised at all, of course he knew that these Vietnamese would object, these guys, although they claimed to be Han, had already been separated for hundreds of years, for fear that the eldest brother from the north would come to eat the benefits that should have been them.
Just as they were about to continue convincing the guys, a young guard with a boat-shaped hat ran in the door.
"Chief, something is wrong, King Zhaotong and Governor Sun of the Qing Dynasty were intercepted and killed by the bandits of Langjiang!"
