On the 25th day of the 11th lunar month in 1788, Nguyen Hue, with the support of the generals, ascended the throne as emperor at Yuping Mountain in Hue City, and changed the year name to "Guangzhong", which was the emperor of Guangzhong.

The day after becoming emperor, Ruan Hui only canonized his wife Fan Thi Lian as the emperor, and did not even canonize his children, so he hurriedly led the army to his ancestral hometown of Yi'an.

He gathered the Xishan army in Zhongqi here, actively prepared for war, and selected 80,000 elite soldiers and more than 100 war elephants from them, preparing to go north to resist the Qing army.

Nguyen Hue's reign as emperor and expedition was written in Vietnam in later generations, and the front and back of today's 200 VND are painted with Nguyen Hue's portrait and a map of Nguyen Hue's expedition.

At the same time that Ruan Hui was training as the emperor, in Thang Long City, Ruan Hui's first henchman, who was responsible for garrisoning Thang Long, Wu Wenchu, who had just been promoted to the rank of Grand Sima, was already thinking about the way back.

He ordered people to hoard fire-burning things everywhere in Thang Long City, ready to withdraw and burn the city at any time, and at the same time ordered Wu Shiren, a squire of the Ministry of Works, to lead dozens of warships to Bianshan in Thanh Hoa to garrison to defend against the Qing army from the sea.

Thang Long City, on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, is the residence of the deputy military commander, the defense envoy of Dong Thanh, and the escort general Nguyen Van Huen.

Nguyen Van Huen, who had just been named the escort general, and this strange-looking title was a native of Bac Ha in the land of North Vietnam, and in his early years, he traveled thousands of miles to Quang Nam with his brother Nguyen Van Zhao and took refuge in the Nguyen Nga Nguyen Hue brothers.

However, although they are old people who took refuge in the early years, they have not been very trusted because they are from Beiqi, not from Xishanzhai and other places.

For example, this house on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, after Ruan Van Hun followed Ruan Hui Qi to attack Wu Van Ren, he proposed to ask for a set, but Ruan Hue was noncommittal, and it was not given to Ruan Van Hun until he ascended the throne and became emperor a few days ago.

Nguyen Van Hun actually knew in his heart that Hoan Kiem Lake had a special meaning in North Vietnam, because legend has it that the Taizu Li Li of the Li Dynasty was awarded the sword by the Golden Turtle at this lake, thus driving away the Ming Dynasty army to establish the Li Dynasty, and after Li Li succeeded, he came to Hoan Kiem Lake again, and the Divine Turtle took the sword back.

Because of this legend, the people who lived on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake were basically the Li Dynasty clans, and after the Li Dynasty weakened, many Zheng families lived here.

Everyone is saying that the Li Dynasty has lost its morality and that the turtle is about to reappear, so Nguyen Hue is reluctant to give the generals of the Xishan Army a residence in this place.

But in Ruan Wenxun's opinion, it's another matter, the Xishan Army is in full swing, Ruan Hui is even more famous, he himself is just a deputy leader and defense envoy, not a high-ranking person, what can he use to shake Ruan Hui's status? What about living in a house on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake?

And when the Xishan Army started, their brothers went thousands of miles to take refuge, and for more than ten years, they were born and died for the Xishan Dynasty, and now they are returning to their hometowns, and a set of houses by Hoan Kiem Lake is not worthy of owning?

The big officials of the land of Beiyue shouldn't be these Beiqi people, should they all be appointed to Nanqi people like Wu Wenchu?

Now even Wu Shiren, who has taken refuge in several masters, has climbed on his head, how can Ruan Wenxun, who has always regarded himself as a veteran, not be angry?

"What did you say?" Ruan Wenxun in the side hall stood up suddenly, and his eyes shot a terrifying cold light.

"Someone! Get this madman out! ”

The man who was angrily denounced as a madman by Ruan Wenxun stood still, and he was not in a hurry to distinguish, but calmly arched his hand.

"Escort the general, the two brothers went thousands of miles to cast the light in the middle of the emperor's brother, what a pride! Are you even scared of a word now? ”

Ruan Wenxun's body suddenly froze, and then the cold light in his eyes became even stronger, he choked and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and slowly walked towards the man.

"Zhu Zi'an dares to speak sarcastically, is it not good to deceive me with a sword in my hand?"

"Is it difficult for the general to remember that he has a sword in his hand? Obviously, I was brought in by General Wu Wenyong's brother, but the general is still suspicious, isn't he afraid that I am a spy of Ruan Hui's thief?

Escort general? Ha ha! Is there such a ridiculous title of general in this world? I, as an outsider, am also deeply ashamed of the general! ”

As he spoke, the man pulled out a token from his chest, and with tears in his eyes, he handed it to Nguyen Van Xun.

"Does the general remember this order?"

Ruan Wenxun looked in disbelief, and he walked over and took the token in his hand to examine it carefully.

Such a token, he also has a piece, when the Ruan Yue and Ruan Hui brothers raised troops in Xishanyi, all the leaders who participated in the event had a token like this, and they also vowed to overthrow the Quang Nam Ruan family together to share the wealth!

"Who the hell are you?" Ruan Wenxun was confused, the people who had this token in their hands were all veterans of the Xishan Army, if they weren't killed in battle, they were basically already rich, how could they come to him to say this, and Wu Wenyong took refuge halfway, and he didn't have this token.

"The first uncle is Jiting, and the first father is Li Acai, does the general still remember them?

If it weren't for the help of my father and uncle, would the three Nguyen brothers have such momentum?

But what happened in the end? And how are they treating you now? A miscellaneous general will send you away!

General Vu Van Dung would rather cheat to death than give Nguyen Hue his life again, does the general think that Nguyen Hue is worthy of your loyalty? ”

Jiting, Li Acai!

Ruan Wenxun nodded, he knew who it was, and he also knew what they had gone through, after thinking for a while, Ruan Wenxun sighed.

"I am a Yue person, this place is my hometown, it is really difficult to take refuge in the Qing country."

Li Fu arched his hand, "There is no need for the general to defect to the Qing Kingdom, but please don't follow Wu Wenchu's order to burn Thang Long City, as long as this city is stayed, there will be good fortune in the future!" ”

Ruan Wenxun's face finally became less solemn, and he also arched his hand in response to Li Fu.

"The 200,000 people in Thang Long City are my hometown, Ruan Mou never wants to hurt them, please go back to reply to Brother Wu and Pingshun County Prince, Ruan Wenxun should lead the army back to Beihe to live temporarily."

。。。。

Thanh Hoa, Bianshan, here is the most important estuary of the Red River Delta, Ye Kaitong with six Western-style warships, 12-20 guns Fu ship fifteen, all kinds of transport ships more than 200 are being repaired.

This time, he only left the third-class battleship Medusa and the three-masted fast battleship Brave to guard the South Seas and Pingshun, and the rest of the battleships all sailed outside the mouth of the Red River.

More than 200 transport ships were loaded with 14,000 troops and heavy supplies.

Among them, the first and second regiments of the main force of the Fuxing Company totaled 5,500 people.

Three thousand men selected from the police army.

Two thousand five hundred native servants were requisitioned.

The elite of the Three Thousand Transforming Mountain Hall led by Liang Wenying and Huang Zhongtong.

In addition to leaving some guards in Binh Thuan Mansion, the army that Ye Kai can control is already exhausted, and he is bound to win the land of North Vietnam!

"Chief! Ah Shui is back, he was chased and killed by the Xishan army, he was tired all the way and was resting, he asked me to tell you, Ruan Wenxun has already stated that he will never burn down Thang Long City, and will lead the army back to Beihe to watch! ”

Ye Kai was still observing the terrain, and Ye Zhenwu ran over to report.

To persuade Ruan Wenxun is Ye Kai's meaning, in history, when Wu Wenchu evacuated Thang Long, a fire burned the entire Thang Long clean, the fire burned for seven or eight days, even the Qing army did not dare to enter the city, and later when Ruan Hui raided, Sun Shiyi's inability to hold Thang Long was also related to this fire.
