The time turned back to three days ago, after the victory of Champa Port was deliberately concealed, the princess also tried to report directly to Nguyen Phuc Yuan twice through the prelude, but for some reason, Nguyen Phuc Yuan did not receive it anyway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then a series of actions began in Hue City, and the princess's eyes and ears in Hue were gradually cleared, and gradually there were few people left. The princess can be regarded as a child who has grown up in various palace fights and power struggles since she was a child, even if she is a woman, she is much more sensitive to political struggles than ordinary people, she naturally knows that someone is ready to deal with her, thinks about it, and finally simply gives up resistance. She knew that she was hundreds of miles away, her father was isolated by the gluttonous ministers again, no matter what she did, it was useless, and now only by going to her father's side could she repel the gluttonous ministers and regain her power.

Sure enough, before the Chinese New Year, Nguyen Phuc Yuan's will came, asking Princess Ji to go to Hue City to visit her mother during the New Year, and then discuss things like horses, so that Princess Ji couldn't refuse at all, so she could only return to Hue on the third day with twenty new army soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.

On December 29, a large convoy came from Hue, and the leader of the car had a flag fluttering and a Nguyen character written on it. The leader is an official named Ruan Minh Fang, speaking of this official is really amazing, he is the nephew of the current Hubu Shangshu, and at the same time the son-in-law of the military department Shangshu, this time he can win the position of governor of Champa against the public opinion, presumably among the six departments, he must be a left-right character.

He rode a carriage led by two white horses all the way to the gate of the princess's mansion, and directly asked someone to take off the sign of the princess's mansion, and hung up the sign of the governor's mansion of Champa that he brought, which immediately made all the locals who saw this pomp and circumstance feel that something big was going to happen.

When the guards in the princess's mansion heard the movement and rushed out to stop it, they were surrounded by the forbidden army that accompanied them. Ruan Mingfang triumphantly stopped the forbidden army, and then took a yellow paper roll from the hands of the accompanying eunuch.

Zhao Ziliang's guards immediately knew that it was a holy decree, and hurriedly pulled their own people around him to kneel down to receive the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the former princess of Zhancheng, during her reign, listened to the traitors, perversely, caused the port of Zhancheng to be attacked and plundered by the southern barbarians, the casualties were cautious, and the court assets were used to purchase useless military equipment, resulting in the loss of assets, and even worse, killing the good and risking the merits, in a vain attempt to use the heads of the people to offset the barbarian rewards. Therefore, His Majesty recalled the princess and collected the power of Zhancheng into six departments. The Sixth Ministry consulted with His Majesty, and sent the Household Servant Nguyen Minh Fang to be appointed as the governor of the city to punish adultery. Chin this. ”

All those who knelt to listen to the decree were stunned, what kind of decree is this? Everything it says is the other way around! Why has it become the responsibility of the princess? Moreover, many guards and civilians were in the city that day, and they saw with their own eyes the sharp firearms of the Oriental Harbor, and the barbarian army was so defeated that the barbarian army suffered so many casualties that the frightened barbarians trampled to death far more than the barbarians were killed, how did it become useless soldiers? How did the heads of so many barbarians on the ground become the heads of the common people again?

But this is a holy decree, no one can question the emperor's words, they can only kowtow to accept the decree, and the guards can only watch with red eyes as the triumphant forbidden soldiers take off the plaque of the princess's mansion with their rough hands, and in the process they also drop the plaque to the ground. The plaque of the new Champa Governor's Mansion is simply made according to this plaque, I really don't know how much effort they put into calculating here.

Champa Port suddenly fell into chaos, you must know how many rich merchants have their lives on the princess, they have migrated from other cities under the emperor's rule, without the protection of the princess, most of them have already spent a lot of money to deal with the officials of Champa Port, this is replaced by a new official, and they have to be re-checked, such expenses are too terrible, and the business cannot be carried out at all.

And the original officials of Champa Port were basically all dismissed in the name of treachery, these officials were simply unjustified, when the princess was developed, they did not get any benefits, but when the princess fell, they were all dismissed indiscriminately as the princess's faction. Although these officials usually do not have much oil and water, they have a lot of it, but they are suddenly dismissed from their posts, and they are full of grief and indignation.

After discussion, the officials and businessmen who were originally enemies of each other were also fallen people at the end of the world, and after discussion, they finally decided to go to the west gate of Champa Port on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve to sit at the west gate of Champa Port to protest against the unfair treatment.

The west gate of Champa Port was the main attack position during the last Nanban attack, and now there are still many burned houses at the city gate, and siege equipment poured on the side of the road. According to Qian Longzhou's request, all the dead bodies of both people and livestock were buried to avoid causing plague. But now the smell of blood here is still strong. Now these officials and businessmen are sitting at the entrance of the West Gate, blocking the West Gate. The common people also heard the news and rushed to this side, some directly participating in the sit-in, and more onlookers, surrounding the West Gate.

But the new officials did not pay attention to these rich businessmen and former "civil servants" at all. The governor of Champang, Nguyen Minh Fang, directly summoned the princess's new army to disperse them. However, the heralds they had been sent to return were disgraced, and it turned out that the new army did not accept the command of the governor of Champa. According to the regulations for the formation of the new army, the new army was only under the command of the princess, and in principle they were under the command of the emperor, but they would not move without seeing the holy decree.

Since Ruan Minh Fang became an official, he has simply played the role of the pride of the sky, and he has always done whatever he wants, so he naturally did not take this group of new troops seriously, and immediately mobilized the forbidden army that protected them and the box army in the port of Champa to directly disperse the sit-in protesters, killed six people, arrested more than 40 people, and at the same time surrounded the new army camp in the name of arresting the thieves.

The new army has fought with the barbarians, where will they take these Annan soldiers who are under the hands of the barbarians in their eyes? The two sides confronted each other across the walls of the barracks. The equipment of the forbidden army is the most advanced in the Annan army, wearing bright armor, and the steel knives in his hands are very dazzling, and he does not pay attention to the new army soldiers who do not even have armor in the wall.

It didn't take long for Ruan Mingfang, who heard that the two sides were confronted, to come, and now that he was in power, he didn't take these new troops inside seriously, not to mention that the new army soldiers inside didn't even have knives, and they all poked them in with iron pipes.

"Your Excellency!" When the forbidden army saw Ruan Mingfang coming, he hurriedly saluted him, "This group of new troops inside did not obey orders at all, not only did they not lay down their weapons, but they confronted us, it seems that they must have opposing intentions." ”

Ruan Mingfang hesitated, before he came out, his father-in-law had warned him that the army under the princess should be extremely combative, because the thousands of barbarian army leaders sent were all true, if there would be a conflict with them, try to tolerate it, otherwise it would be a loss.

I couldn't understand what the New Army soldiers were doing at the moment, but from their serious appearance, it was definitely a useful weapon. He suddenly remembered that the people in the Ministry of Works had told him that the princess had offered a batch of handcuffs, and the workmanship was quite exquisite, but he didn't know how to use them.

"Call the former city defense!" He doesn't know these things, but the city defense in front of him must know, but as the city defense of Champa Port, he must also be a die-hard member of the princess party, and he may also be among the people who were dispersed just now, I don't know if your subordinates can find him.

However, he was worried about it, and the former city guard Qian Longzhou was counting the materials escorted by Beiwei at this time. The princess had no one to discuss after discovering the conspiracy, so she discussed countermeasures with Qian Longzhou every day, but Qian Longzhou is not a guy who likes to watch palace fighting dramas, and he really doesn't have much knowledge of conspiracies and tricks, so he can't help her, so he has to listen to the princess every day. By listening to the princess, he, a political layman, also knew a lot of things and knew that the princess was about to lose power.

The Senate does not have many industries in Champong Port, at most it is a permanent institution of the commercial sector here, which is nothing more than three or four elders and more than ten naturalized people, who place orders according to their mobile phones every day, and send people to Beiqiaotou Town to pull goods according to the order. As for his position as a city guard, it was purely a helpless move to be able to mix better in Champa Port, and this was not a report from the city guard mansion that he had been dismissed, and he didn't even blink his eyes, and he didn't have any heartache at all. Although he didn't care about the little money he paid as a city guard, it was certainly not a good feeling to be expelled, he didn't have time to feel heartache at all, and in front of him at that time were at least sixty local wealthy businessmen and former "civil servants", all of whom were inviting him to go to the west gate for meditation the next day, of course he wouldn't go, he had more important things to do.

Through the negotiations with the agency of the commercial department and the results of the Senate Intelligence Bureau, although it is not necessary to attack the institutions of the Senate, although it is not necessarily a matter of wisdom in a chaotic city, the Executive Committee decided to initiate the evacuation procedure. After all, there are more than 140,000 taels of silver in the agency office in Champa Port and more than 3,000 unpurified refugees who have not yet had time to be transported back to Dongfang Port, these are all considered the property of the Senate, if they are lost in Champa Port, it will be a great pity, for such a fortune, the Senate can even declare war with Annan. As for the refugees, since the food supply has been sufficient and the nutrition has been largely absent during this time, they can travel at any time.

So a platoon of the New Army escorted the more than 3,000 refugees to Beiqiaotou Town on the same day, and then the Marines picked them up and returned to Vostochny Port. At the same time, another unit of the New Army escorted a batch of supplies to a beach near the pier, where a landing craft allocated by the Navy went ashore directly and transported the supplies back to the port of Vostom—this batch of supplies was more than 140,000 taels of silver, equivalent to 5.8 tons of metric units, and this batch of silver also had a name - the princess fund.
