Senate rifle, this word can be regarded as a sacred existence in the hearts of the new army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The first rifle they were equipped with was the Senate rifle, which was the most advanced and excellent weapon they had ever used, although it was cumbersome to operate, complicated to maintain, and had a two-thirds longer range than the 1629 rifle held by the army soldiers in front of them.

In the first confrontation with the Nanban Dhaka tribe giant beast cavalry, the Senate rifle for the first time exerted an amazing power, the invincible beasts in the previous battle and the Nanban on their bodies quickly collapsed in the dense fire of the rifle, trampling each other on the water, so that the Annan army for the first time in the front and the Nanban army more than their own strength several times the victory in the field. Although the new army suffered a lot of losses in the ensuing night raid, it successfully defeated the southern barbarians who attacked at night under the magical combination of rifles and bayonets, not only killing hundreds of southern barbarians who had the upper hand, but also successfully burying the fierce impression of the new army of Annam in the hearts of the southern barbarian army, forcing the southern barbarians to give up multiple attacks and concentrate on one place, trying to attack and occupy the port of Champong, hoping to nip the new army in the bud.

In the defense of Champa Port, both the Marines of the Senate and the New Army used Senate rifles, although the New Army was an unrifled smoothbore gun, but still carried out many successful covering shots on the barbarian front that tried to attack the city, although the most important accurate shooting was completed by the Senate sniper team, but the smoke and dust rising from the city and the bullets that smashed over the head like hail still caused the fear and rout of the barbarian soldiers.

Not to mention the new officers and soldiers who protected the emperor and princess from the port of Champa this time, the story of the freighty eyebrows fluttering, in the dark night, the Senate rifle can take the life of the enemy chief in the midst of the ten thousand armies, and can also shoot in clusters to suppress the multiple charges of the chaotic forbidden army, although in the end it is still unable to resist the tide of rebels, but it has succeeded in making the forbidden army firmly remember the terrible weapon that can take their own life when the fire flashes.

Ruan Wenyu thought of this, and couldn't help but touch the Barton sword on his waist, he didn't know why the average military veteran liked to call this the Barton sword, although he had never used this Barton sword in battle, but the people who had used it were full of praise. Although these Patton swords may look slender, they are lightweight, long and sharp to use, especially as the training officers have explained to them many times that Patton swords are used for stabbing rather than chopping.

He couldn't figure out how the veterans came up with so many novel ideas, these weapons, tactics and these seemingly inexplicable equipment on their bodies, each of which could only be summed up through countless battles or countless experiences, these veterans seemed to be talking on paper, but they were no less than those Annan veterans.

Just thinking of this, Ma Linming and Lin Shenhe below glanced up at him and nodded at him in unison. Ruan Wenyu saw that the elders had greeted him, and hurriedly saluted the two of them. At that moment, the two elders also returned a salute, but Ma Linming used the PLA salute posture, while Lin Shenhe used the posture of the US military, which seemed as awkward at first glance.

The ship department is not cool, the ghost is too cool, and the department is too cool

Originally, the defense of the entire new army barracks area was jointly undertaken by the new army and the third company of the army, but the army needed to protect the safety of the tank, so Liu Lihua took the initiative to demarcate the defense area to the wooden fort near the tank. The current wooden fort is densely packed with tents, and although there are many of them, they are neat and orderly. The army sentries at several fixed posts on the wooden wall stood straight like a log there, and the patrol sentries also walked back and forth on the wooden wall.

Although both the army and the Forces nouvelles were heavily guarded, the Annan army, which they had originally regarded as their enemies, did not move at all. As the commander of the port of Annan, Nguyen Minh Phuong was as big as a bucket at this time, and in front of him was a staff officer of Mai Deno, a red-haired man who was holding a mark teacup from Dongfang Port at this time, and sipping tea made from tea leaves transported from Songzhou.

"Mr. Ruan, don't be so nervous, it's actually nothing, we Maidno people will never harm our own people." The staff officer put down the teacup and sniffed it lightly on the teacup again, "The tea leaves in Songzhou really live up to their reputation, I really don't know how the people of Wuguo made the leaves on the trees into such delicious tea." ā€

"Mr. Staff, you have come all the way from Wenshan Port, do you want to rest for a while? Here is going to help you arrange an upper room to rest? Ruan Mingfang asked helplessly.

The staff officer shook his head, smiled meaningfully, and took a sip of the teacup again, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, there are several things to do when you come from Wenshan Port in the starry night." ā€

Ruan Mingfang sighed softly, "Sir, it's okay to say. ā€

"The first thing I did was to send fifty taels of silver to your army as a piece of silver," he said before he could be interrupted by Ruan Mingfang, "My Zhancheng Gangxiang Army and the Forbidden Army suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and at this time they are no longer capable of starting to fight. ā€

"Sure enough, it's a veteran," the staff officer smiled, "as soon as I heard it, I knew that I was going to fight the Chinese." But Mr. Ruan don't need to worry, we are not in a hurry to ask you to attack Dongfang Port now, but just let you drive your army to Wenshan Port. ā€

Far away, far cool, lone feather, hatred of Sun Gu

Although the new army was an unrifled smoothbore gun, it still carried out many successful covering shots on the barbarian front trying to siege the city, although the most important accurate shots were completed by the senator sniper team, but the smoke and dust rising from the city and the bullets smashed by the head of the head like hail still caused the fear and rout of the barbarian army.

"Let's go to Wenshan Port? All armies? Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but be stunned, "There were only three or four hundred troops in Champa Port, if all of them went to Wenshan Port, then who would guard Champa Port?" ā€

"Could it be that Mr. Ruan thinks that with the strength of your army, he can hold the port of Champa?" The staff officer couldn't help but squint at him with some playfulness, "Not to mention three or four hundred troops, even if it is three or four thousand, after the previous battle, they must have been frightened, and they must not have much combat effectiveness, if you want to restore your combat strength, you must first replace the weapons and equipment of your army." The staff officer said and took another sip of tea. In Wenshan Port, the Medeno fleet has arrived at the port with 1,500 muskets, and as soon as your army arrives, all of them can be replaced with the most advanced firearms of Medenor. ā€

Ruan Mingfang didn't know what to do, and nodded in a daze, "Fifteen hundred muskets, and I only have three or four hundred people at this time, is it five for one person?" ā€

"Of course not," the staff officer smiled, and Ruan Minh Fang saw a teasing look at the hillbilly in his eyes. "According to the holy decree of Emperor Annam, Wenshan Port will transfer 1,000 people, all the troops of Zhancheng Port, assemble at Wenshan Port, and do some training after replacing firearms, so as to prepare for the next stage of the battle to recover Zhancheng Port."

"Recovering the port of Champong?" Ruan Mingfang was confused, "Champa Port is in the hands of my Annan Imperial Court at this time, how can I recover it?" ā€

"You wait for all the troops to leave for Wenshan Port, naturally this place will be occupied by the Chinese, and when the main force of the South Coast Army returns, multiple forces will gather in one place, and the entire Champa Port will be completely blocked." The staff officer said as he tapped his fingers in the tea, dipped the tea and drew a few times on the table. "I will first give up the port of Champa and let the Chinese come and occupy it, and once the Chinese occupy it, according to their habits, they will inevitably build the port of Champa, dredge the waterways, and build workshops." When it is finished, I will wait for the army to return, and if the Chinese leave without a fight, we will have a city with industrial workshops, and the port can be used. In fact, the staff officer said that it had been more than four months since the port of Champa fell into the hands of Nguyen Minh Fang, and not only had nothing been built so far, but even the necessary things such as repairing the city wall and dredging the port waterways had not been done at all; in comparison, the Chinese had carved out and built an Oriental Port from a barren beach and jungle in just over half a year, and had also trained two warlike armies -- the Senate Army and the New Army, which had become a force with a very strong voice on the surface of the South China Sea.

According to the plan of the Medeno people, they dumped a large number of industrial raw materials to the port of the East, although in exchange for Senate banknotes that were of little use to them, but many of these industrial raw materials were simply scrap and garbage in the Wu Dynasty or a few nearby small countries, and all they had to do was to transport these raw materials over. However, these banknotes exchanged for these garbage and scrap materials still have considerable purchasing power in the Oriental Port, and they only need to wait until the banknotes gather to a certain amount, and they will seize the opportunity to suddenly throw these banknotes on the market, which can paralyze the monetary and financial system of the Oriental Port in a short time. At that time, the Oriental Port will inevitably be forced to use silver as a currency to trade, so that the silver of the Oriental Port can be easily looted, and the Oriental Port, which lacks the purchasing power of silver, will inevitably have problems due to lack of funds. The cession of the port of Champa to the Chinese was also part of the plan, and judging by the obsessive-compulsive symptoms of the Chinese who knew of the near-paranoia, they would certainly build the newly acquired port of Champa as well as the port of the East. At that time, it is enough to pick peaches in the name of the Annamite people, and wait for the Chinese to make their own wedding clothes and enjoy the results themselves. It doesn't take much effort, and it can also consume a lot of Chinese people's financial, material and human resources, so why not?

"Anyway, Champa Port can't create any benefits in the hands of your army at this time, if you want to do business with the Chinese, you can do the same in Wenshan Port." The staff officer looked at Ruan Mingfang impatiently and said, "Moreover, Wenshan Port is different from Champa Port, the transportation is convenient, and you can transport a large number of smuggled goods to other places in exchange for silver." ā€

Ruan Mingfang hesitated, he knew that the Medeno people were notoriously unprofitable, and even the Yaning people, who had a good relationship with the Medeno people, would sometimes squeeze the Medeno people, "If you give a Medeno merchant a hair's benefit, then you will soon be able to hear their voices in their hearts." Although he didn't know what the plans of the Medenor people were, it was conceivable that they must have dug a pit for the Annamite to jump into.

He was not mistaken, the Medenor people were indeed digging a pit. Originally, according to the agreement, if Annan officials could assist in the attack on the port of Vostok, then the Medeno side would provide 150,000 taels of silver to Annan as military expenses. They did not expect that the officials of Annam would carry out so thoroughly, in order to be able to mobilize the army, and even overthrow the emperor directly, this move caught the Mednos by surprise, and they had to send troops to Hue overnight to rob the emperor's treasury. But Annan's ** slapped the Medeno people in the face, and there was not even a single copper left in the vault that should have been full of silver ingots, and these Medeno mutton was not eaten, which caused a commotion, and now all Annan knows that it was the Medeno people who conspired to overthrow the Nguyen Phuc Nguyen regime. The most annoying thing is that not a single copper in the treasury has been obtained, not to mention, Medeno has to provide 150,000 taels of silver to come out and paste it upside down, and the feeling of stealing chickens and rice makes Medeno's senior management very unhappy.

For this reason, the Maidno people secretly revised some terms in the agreement, and they sold the weapons and equipment that were originally transported to Wenshan Port for free to equip the Annan army at a discount, so as to successfully offset the expenses of more than 60,000 taels of silver, as for the rest of the money, the agreement did not say when it would be given, and it was slowly consumed.

As soon as the descendants of the Li family ascended the throne, they appointed the left and right ministers of the new Annam. The left phase is still the left phase of Nguyen Phuc Yuan's period, while the right phase is a Maideno through and through. Since the former bureaucrats of the Right and Left Bureaucrats did not deal with each other, since the Left and the First Department drove out Nguyen Phuc Yuan through the Forbidden Army Rebellion, they began to bloodbath the bureaucracy in Hue without stopping, so the bureaucracy has vacated a lot of positions at this time. Originally, Zuo Xiang also planned to put his own people in it, who knew that the new emperor waved his hand and arranged official positions for several Maidno people, which made Zuo Xiang feel that he had been completely deceived, but the rebellion against the world's condemnation was created, and it was impossible for him to switch to Ruan Fuyuan at all, so he had to follow the new emperor all the way to the dark.

As soon as the new right minister came to power, without saying a word, he drafted several holy decrees on behalf of the emperor, such as the gathering of troops at Van Son Port, which Nguyen Minh Fang was facing, and the 16,000 elite soldiers and 44,000 auxiliaries from the 300,000 South Coast Army, which had the strongest troops, and marched directly eastward, stopping outside the boundary of Champa Port and waiting for the attack order. In this way, it can always put pressure on the Chinese in Dongfang Port, maintain the initiative of the Medeno people in the conspiracy, and force them to invest a lot of money in the construction of Champong Port, and let Champong Port be put into use as soon as possible.

This plan has been opposed by the left minister and the bureaucrats, the South Bank Army is the absolute backbone of the South Annan Army, this army claims to be 300,000 people, but because of the serious empty salary, the soldiers who can fight are only 50,000, and there are about 160,000 auxiliary soldiers who can only provide assistance that cannot be put into battle.

The knot is far away, the enemy is cool and secret, so it is the most
