Naturally, Princess Ji is not the only one who is distressed, and at this time in the palace of Hue, the king of the south, Nguyen Phuc Yuan, is also two big. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, the southern barbarians all went north along the coast, rarely attacking inland, and the siege of Hue was only a siege to prevent the main force of Hue's Annam army from going out of the city to rescue. However, the coastal cities have always been relatively developed, and this time, according to the advice of the Maidno people, the Nanban postponed the Northern Expedition for two months, which caught the army and people of Annam by surprise, and thousands of villages and more than a dozen cities along the way were attacked and looted.

At this time, there was a thick piece of music on his table, all of which were all kinds of documents asking for help. The main force of the barbarian army had more than 20,000 troops in the north this time, although more than 10,000 barbarians led by Bogdan encountered resolute resistance under the port of Zhancheng and returned with heavy losses, but the other troops did not suffer any losses, and the barbarians even captured a small county town and slaughtered all the officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians in the county. Everywhere the barbarians went, the fields were trampled, the houses were demolished and burned, and the corpses of rotting cows, horses, and civilians were everywhere along the way, no one cleaned them up, and the stench could be smelled for miles away.

Hue City was only announced a few days ago to lift the siege, and a few thousand barbarian soldiers successfully besieged Hue City with tens of thousands of people for almost half a month. In the past few days, he ordered the forbidden army and the Xiang army in charge of the city defense to clean up Hue City, and as a result, more than 3,000 corpses were cleaned up, most of whom died of starvation.

When the barbarians withdrew, they were not at all prepared, and they left with such a big grin, obviously not afraid of the Annan army at all. But now looking at the memora sent by Wenshan Port, the barbarian soldiers who withdrew from Champa Port to the south were completely different, and although those barbarians carried a large amount of food and supplies, as well as vehicles, there was hardly a single captive population. This made Nguyen Phuc Nguyen feel very strange, whether it was his own Hue or several other barbarians who were responsible for containing Annam's army, they all captured and drove a large number of Annam civilians along the way. Even during the siege of Hue, many civilians starved to death in the barbarian barracks, but when they evacuated, a large number of civilians followed their ranks. So where are the common people of the barbarian army that attacked the port of Champang?

However, Ruan Phuc Yuan is not so concerned about the whereabouts of those ordinary people, and what he is most concerned about is how the battle of Champong Port is fought and the recent situation of his daughter. Before the war, he saw that his daughter had said in his recital that a new army of more than 100 people had been formed, and some time ago there was a battle with the advance force of the barbarian army on the road south of Champa Port and Wenshan Port. But then there was no news, and then Hue City was surrounded by the barbarian forces, and the contact with the outside world was cut off.

The heads of the barbarians sent by her daughter were almost rotten, and now they had all been sent outside the city to be burned in a fire. The beasts starved to death a few meat-loving ones, but the ones who ate the leaves and branches made him so much that they ate almost all the leaves they could see in the city, and trampled to death a few of the Praetorian soldiers who tried to catch them. These giant beasts have rough skin and thick flesh, and they can't cut through the knife or shoot through the arrows, and he has to sigh, how can his army withstand the impact when such a giant beast charges in front? But my daughter's army is only a hundred people, how can she defeat such an army? What kind of weapons can be used to kill and wound such a behemoth?

Ruan Phuc Yuan couldn't help but become more and more curious about his daughter's new army. However, at present, there are several high-ranking officials who criticize their daughters in a-for-tat manner, claiming that it was the princess who founded the new army without permission, causing huge casualties to the barbarian army, which made the barbarian army attack north in a more frantic posture, causing huge losses to Annan. Therefore, the princess should be responsible for the losses suffered by the barbarian army in the north.

Thinking of this, Ruan Fuyuan couldn't help but scoff, he was only in his fifties, and these high-ranking officials regarded themselves as mediocre kings? He is quite happy to see that his daughter can create a new army to defeat such a strong army as the barbarian army in a head-on battle, can't his daughter create a new army, and the southern barbarians will not commit crimes in the north? The southern barbarians committed crimes in the north every year, plundering the grain and grass of the military and civilians in Annam every year, why did these high-ranking officials take these as the norm? Is it the way it should be? The reason why the barbarian army gathered a large army to besiege the port of Zhancheng can only show one problem, that is, they are afraid of the military strength of the port of Zhancheng. Thinking of this, his thoughts suddenly drifted up, the new army that occupied Chenggang was only more than 100 or 200 people, and such a 1 or 200 people provoked such a big fanfare of the barbarian army, which can only show one fact, that is, the strength of the new army is extremely strong, and this new army of only 200 people has already become a big problem for them, and they do not hesitate to gather tens of thousands of troops to eliminate it. Moreover, from the recital of Wenshan Port, it seems that the barbarian army did not get any cheap, and the barbarian army in the north plus the captured civilians were more than 30,000 people, but when they came back, the army of the southern barbarians was only about five or six thousand people, and all of them were southern barbarians, and the common people were gone. Although they carried a large amount of grain, it may have been looted, and the port of Champa has long been an important granary for Annam. Therefore, based on the analysis of these situations, the barbarian army must have suffered a big loss under the city of Zhanchenggang, not only failed to capture Zhanchenggang, but even the common people were rescued.

But thinking of this, he had to smile bitterly again, this is tens of thousands of ordinary people, and so much grain has been plundered from Zhancheng Port, what if there is a famine? He couldn't help but stand up and circle around his table, and the little eunuch behind him hurriedly followed and turned behind him with his head down.

But what happened to Champa now? At this time, there were thick pieces of music piled up on his table, and it was a little sad to look at them one by one, and they were usually read by the eunuchs in the palace before they were passed on. The eunuch will first check whether the chapter is important, if it is important, it will be placed on it, if it is not important, it will be put below, if it is simply dispensable, it will naturally be too lazy to present it.

However, he was stunned, and there were several pieces of the Ministry of Rites and Soldiers and even the Ministry of Officials, all of which impeached the princess for wantonly violating the ancestral system and privately building a new army, or criticizing the princess for resisting the barbarians and causing the barbarians to take revenge. The following are basically the loss reports of some states and counties, and the only one that is closer to Champa Port is Wenshan Port, but the performance of Wenshan Port is pressed at the bottom. This...... He couldn't help but think with some conspiracy theories, could it be that the eunuch was threatened by the high-ranking officials of various ministries and arranged the music in this way? In this way, he will first see the impeachment of his daughter, and then see the huge losses of the states and counties, and then he will be angry with his daughter, thinking of this, he can't help but feel moved, these high-ranking officials are really bold.

"Let's go, go to the celebrant!" After Ruan Fuyuan finished speaking, he strode outside. The little eunuch was stunned, his heart was broken, and he hurriedly followed, and shouted by the way, "Move the master of ceremonies!" ”

The little eunuch knows, yesterday the eunuch Bingbi summoned him and gave him a hundred taels of silver, so that he could follow the emperor all the time today, and he must not let the emperor go to the ceremonial supervisor. If the emperor has any wrong expression when he looks at the recital, let him call the eunuch waiting outside to report to the eunuch Bingbi. But isn't the emperor going around like this every day, and then leaving? Why did you turn two circles today and suddenly go to the celebrant?

The eunuch who was waiting outside was very discerning, and when he heard the little eunuch waiting inside shouting in such a voice, he knew what it meant, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the celebrant and reported to the eunuch Bingbi.

When the eunuch Bingbi heard this, the hair on his whole body stood up, and the Shangshu of the third part of the three parts yesterday invited him to have a meal, signaled him to adjust the recitals in various places today, and specially asked him to put the recital of impeachment of the princess on the top. This Bingbi eunuch is the emperor's companion who grew up together, relying on the emperor's trust in him, and has always often relied on this method to quietly control the government, Annan is not like the Wu Dynasty, although the eunuch can not participate in politics, but it has not reached the point where he will be killed if he participates in politics, so he has also made a lot of extra money through this matter, so that many bigwigs in the court owe him favors.

He originally refused the matter of the princess's impeachment this time, but he couldn't refuse the request of the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites, and they also gave several exquisite jade sculptures. You must know that although jadeite in Annam is not the most valuable, it is also an extremely valuable thing, and there is nothing to say about the carving or anything. The most important thing for him to refuse was a mirror powder box, I heard that it was sold by a distant American maritime merchant, and this mirror alone was worth hundreds of taels of silver. So, this eunuch who wrote relied on the luck psychology of often doing this kind of thing, and did it head-on.

It is not that the chapter of Champa Port was not passed down, but was detained by the celebrant supervisor, which introduced in detail the details of the entire defense of Champa Port, killing more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers, and the barbarian army did not even touch the city wall. Although all the buildings and harbors outside the city were destroyed by the fighting, and the waterways of the port were blocked by shipwrecks, they successfully resisted the combined attack of Medeno and the barbarians at the same time, and it also elaborated that the barbarians were under the command of the staff of Medeno in these northern invasions, which successfully defeated the resistance of the Annan army on several occasions. The Medeno even profited from collecting a huge amount of freight from the barbarians during each of their invasions. In the recital, the princess explained in detail the great value of the new rifle in war, and asked the emperor to add a "regiment" of 1,000 men, all of which were based on the structure and command of the new army. The combat effectiveness of such a regiment far exceeds that of the Annam army, which is more than 10,000, and no matter how brave it is, it is in vain.

The secretary of the Ministry of War copied a copy and took it back to his subordinates to see, and his subordinates all sneered at it and took it to the Ministry of Industry, and the squire of the Ministry of Industry also laughed, where in this world would there be such a sharp weapon. In short, no one trusts what is written on this piece, and they all think that the princess is just putting gold on her face and making excuses for her failure.
