Li Fuqiang arranged the military affairs of Zhancheng and returned to Hoi An with Lin Zhaolong.

Ruan Youyi hasn't done anything for more than half a year, and he can't do anything. He Chaoyong found someone to accompany him 24 hours a day, and he was well fed and drunk, but he didn't talk to him about anything. Ruan Youyi knew that it was basically impossible to restore the power of South Vietnam, and he had no chance to kill himself, although he had not cooperated with Yulin Bay, but the psychology of confrontation gradually faded.

After Lin Zhaolong and Li Fuqiang arrived in Hoi An to meet He Chaoyong, Lin Zhaolong told He Chaoyong in detail about Xu Lang's plans. Xu Lang meant to have a good explanation with Ruan Youyi, and said that Yulin Bay was forced by Zheng Ji to attack South Vietnam. Ruan Youyi must have known about the battle between Yulin Bay and North Vietnam at the beginning of this year, and Xu Lang asked Li Fuqiang to tell Ruan Youyi that Yulin Bay did not hesitate to turn against Zheng Jie in order to keep South Vietnam. It's just that Zheng Jie's strength was too great, and the defeat of Yulin Bay had to attack South Vietnam. At present, except for Hue, most of the territory of South Vietnam is controlled by Yulin Bay, and it is best for Li Fuqiang to take Nguyen Youyi to Champa to see the current situation of the royal family in Champa. Although the Yulin Bay garrison occupied the city, the city was still ruled by the original royal family, and nothing changed.

Xu Lang even asked Li Fuqiang to tell Nguyen Youyi that he could gather the former officials and generals of South Vietnam to form a separate army. This army was completely led by Ruan Youyi alone, and Yulin Bay would never interfere. Not only will it not interfere, but Yulin Bay will also send weapons and equipment to arm this army. At present, Nguyen Phuc Lan has not been found, and I don't know if he is hiding or what. But it doesn't matter, Nguyen Youyi can recruit and train the army first, and when the time is ripe, Yulin Bay can cooperate with him to re-attack North Vietnam under the banner of Nguyen Phuc Lan and unify Vietnam.

Lin Zhaolong also explained one point when relaying Xu Lang's plan, half of Xu Lang's words were false. There must have been difficulties in recruiting the Second Army, which is why it had to advance in the direction of Cambodia. But Xu Lang also considered the same problem as Li Fuqiang, what if North Vietnam went down after the winter offensive began. Therefore, Xu Lang suggested that Li Fuqiang first say this to Ruan Youyi, first pull Ruan Youyi over to cooperate with Yulin Bay, and let Ruan Youyi be responsible for the defense of the South Vietnamese side during the winter offensive. As for whether it will really counterattack North Vietnam in the future, we will talk about it later.

The three of them discussed it, but there was no better way, so they decided to talk to Ruan Youyi according to Xu Lang's proposal first, and it was better to cooperate or cooperate.

The three of them went to visit Nguyen Youyi together, and now Nguyen Youyi and Nguyen Youjin and several former senior officials of South Vietnam live in a small courtyard, and He Chaoyong specially arranged a platoon of troops to guard this small courtyard, and everyone has a special person to accompany them.

Li Fuqiang walked into Ruan Youyi's room and clasped his hands into fists: "Mr. Ruan has worked hard, I haven't come to visit Mr. for a long time, is Mr. still satisfied with his diet and daily life?" ”

Ruan Youyi replied lightly: "There is General Lao, eating well and sleeping well under the general are all carefully taken care of by the general." ”

Li Fuqiang heard that Ruan Youyi's words were thorny, but he didn't care, and continued: "I have something to discuss with Mr. when I come down, and I hope Mr. can understand our hardships." ”

Li Fuqiang relayed Xu Lang's meaning to Ruan Youyi without reservation, and Lin Zhaolong and He Chaoyong also added on the side, Ruan Youyi was suspicious when he heard it, and did not react.

Li Fuqiang took a long time to speak, and finally asked: "Mr. Ruan, I don't know if what I said below is accurate, what Mr. Ruan is planning at the moment, but we are forced to attack you." ”

Ruan Youyi looked at the three of them and said slowly: "Since the general said that he was forced to do so, and you Yulin Bay has no intention of annexing my Annan, can the general immediately withdraw his troops and return my Annan territory to our court." ”

Li Fuqiang paused for a moment, he didn't expect Ruan Youyi to make this request, He Chaoyong said: "Mr. Ruan, even if we promise Mr. to withdraw the troops immediately, but Ruan Qi has 20,000 troops in Fuchun, and they are all elite divisions, isn't Mr. afraid that they will go south?" ”

Ruan Youyi sneered: "I would like to thank the general for defending my territory." ”

Lin Zhaolong clenched his fists: "Sir, we can talk about whether we withdraw or not." I would like to invite Mr. to take a trip to Champa to have a look, as long as Mr. goes, he will understand our hard work in Yulin Bay. ”

Ruan Youyi asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to go to Zhancheng?" ”

Lin Zhaolong replied: "Don't hide it, sir, we have now garrisoned the city, but everything in the city has not changed, and the original royal family is still their king. I have been friends with Annan for hundreds of years, and we do have unspeakable secrets. Moreover, I might as well tell my husband that the relationship between Zheng Jie in the north and our Yulin Bay is getting worse and worse, and Zheng Jie's determination to unify Annam is very great, and war may start at any time. But our strength in Annan is still too small, if we can cooperate with Mr., then we can carry Zheng Jie. Otherwise, once the army from the north goes south, we can naturally abandon this place and withdraw to Yulin Bay, but where will Mr. go, and what will happen to Mr. Restore the country, I hope Mr. will think twice. ”

Ruan Youyi didn't speak again for a long time, and Lin Zhaolong's words deeply moved him. South Vietnam is already a dead country, and if Yulin Bay is now withdrawn to the Ming Dynasty, then Zheng Jie will easily unify Annam. He is an important minister of South Vietnam, although he has been locked up in this small courtyard by Yulin Bay for half a year, but Yulin Bay is also courteous to himself, if he is replaced by Zheng Jie, then his fate may not be known.

Ruan Youyi thought of this, stood up and arched his hand and said: "You can go to Zhancheng in the next place, but there are still some people from General Ruan Youjin in this courtyard, I wonder if they can also go to Zhancheng?" ”

Li Fuqiang said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, as long as you want to go, we will welcome you, and the future will depend on Mr." ”

Ruan Youyi, Ruan Youjin and other cadres followed Li Fuqiang to Zhancheng. Although Ruan Youyi understood that Li Fuqiang's words had a certain amount of truth, and that if he wanted to restore the country, he had to rely on the power of Yulin Bay, but he still didn't believe Li Fuqiang's suggestion that he could recruit a South Vietnamese army and control it all by himself, so weren't they afraid of what they would think?

But after Ruan Youyi arrived in Zhancheng, he completely believed it. The whole Champa is still full of flowers, and there is no change from before. Since Yulin Bay now underwrites all the specialties of the city and transports a large number of Yulin Bay goods to the city, the market in the city is much more prosperous than before, and there are even a few more Westerners and Japanese shops on the street.

Li Fuqiang arranged a banquet, and Ruan Youyi and the king of Champa had a long talk in private. At the behest of Li Fuqiang, the king of Champa told about some changes after Yulin Bay occupied Champong, and repeatedly stated that his status had not changed at all, not only did it not change, but his money was much more than before, and a part of Yulinwan's tax revenue in Champa belonged to him. What's more, although Yulin Bay reached an agreement with Zhancheng to recruit troops in Zhancheng, Yulin Bay did not forcibly recruit soldiers, and he still retained a guard of 1,000 people.
