Southeast of Hue, about two hundred nautical miles of water. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a row of steel giants, cleaving the waves, bravely approaching Hue City.

In the cabin, Zhang Xiao and Liu Weiguo were pointing to the unfolded Hue map, studying the offensive strategy. In order to catch the Ruan Dynasty off guard, Zhang Xiao and Liu Weiguo formulated a plan for a night attack. This is summed up from the experience of the last attack on the Xishan Dynasty.

And on the way from the sea to Hue City, it was guarded by officials of the Nguyen Dynasty who had been bribed by the Ming Dynasty. I am not afraid of leaking the wind and delaying the trip.

It can be said that this attack on Hue is all ready, only the east wind is owed!

Later in the evening, the sun sinks into the sea from the west. The entire surface of the sea was coated with a layer of golden light, so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes. When the cool breeze blew, the Nanyang Fleet also got closer and closer to Hue City. Chen Wenji, who was standing on the deck, felt a little heavy in his heart. Because it evokes his memories of the Xishan Dynasty.

"At the beginning, Da Ming also came from the sea like this, right? And then with a cannon, buried our Xishan Dynasty. He said in a slightly sad tone.

Ruan Wenming, who was standing next to him, immediately covered his mouth and rebuked him in a heavy tone: "What are you talking nonsense? We are now Ming people! Don't mention that backward, decaying court! ”。 After studying in the Ming Dynasty for a few weeks, his Xishan Dynasty became synonymous with decay and backwardness.

Chen Wenji smiled, as if saying to himself: "Yes! We are already civilized Ming people, and we no longer belong to the court full of oppression, coercion, peeling and cutting. ”。 Reading between the lines, it also has an official tone.

Since they were brought back to Nanyang, they, the former ministers of the Xishan Dynasty, were exiled to Yueguo Island alone. It was a deserted island with no people, and they became the first islanders to settle down. The location was supposed to be near the island of Java, but he didn't know exactly where.

The name of the island was also chosen by themselves!

It was isolated from the world, and the Ming Dynasty only sent more than a hundred soldiers to garrison it. No merchant ships and fishing boats are allowed to approach, and the Ming Dynasty will bring daily necessities every half month. It's just some simple food, nothing else.

will give them a little bit, but only to ensure that they will not starve to death, and they will not want to be full. If you want more food, you have to pay for it yourself. The price is also very expensive. Because they could not endure the closed and backward living conditions in the local area, dozens of people committed suicide in the first half month. Da Ming didn't care about this. If they die, they will be thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish, and if they want to die but they don't die, Daming will help them.

There were also people who tried to steal boats and leave the island, but those who were caught had their families executed. There were also people who went crazy and were shot dead by the soldiers stationed there.

In less than a month, more than 2,000 people who landed on the island became in their early 1,000s. Fortunately, he values life very seriously and behaves more cooperatively. So a month ago, Daming suddenly sent a boat over to pick him and his family off the island. Nguyen Van Minh, like him, behaved well, so he was able to leave.

When he arrived in Tan Son Son Town, he learned that the Ming had asked them to leave in order to send them back to Hue.

Of course, sending them back is not to sacrifice them to the Nguyen Dynasty as prisoners. Instead, let them go back to assist the new Vietnamese monarch and deal with the government. It is hard to imagine that the Nguyen Dynasty, which they thought was their rival before, has become the object of their assistance.

However, they know in their hearts that this is actually doing things for Daming and serving Daming. But this is a good thing for promotion and wealth. The two of them agreed without thinking about it. After all, no one wants to go back to that deserted island.

This time the Nanyang fleet raided Hue, and they followed.

When they returned to their homeland, the two also had a lot of feelings. However, time has passed, and there are so many things that they want to say but can't say. There was only a long sigh at the end.

The former Xishan Dynasty and the current Ruan Dynasty have all become stepping stones for the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking like this, the sky also darkened. The two were about to return to the cabin when a small fishing boat suddenly rowed out on the sea. Seeing the five-star red flag fluttering above, the two of them understood that it was the spies arranged by Daming in Hue City. In recent days, such small boats have often floated on the sea, and they are all ventilated. They're used to it, too.

It wasn't until the ship approached the battleship where the Ming general and the minister were located, and Chen Wenji and them returned to the cabin to rest.

Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao got the latest news from Hue City from the spies.

It turned out that under the instigation of the Intelligence Division, all the troops stationed outside the city tonight entered the city on a large scale. It seems that he is ready to fight to the death.

This made Zhang Xiao and them very happy!

Previously, they were thinking about how to deal with the army outside the city and enter the city quietly. Well, now that these armies have gone in on their own, they don't have to bother with that.

So after approaching the dock, the officials of the Nguyen Dynasty who were bribed. Immediately grovelled forward, smiling all over his face. Zhang Xiao didn't make it difficult for him, but only said that if the errand was done well, Daming would be rewarded.

When the Ming army came to the outside of Hue City, the dark night sky was already lit up by the burning fire. Through the city wall, you can still hear the shouts of killing inside. The four gates were also opened openly, and there were few soldiers guarding them. A large number of people carrying large bags and small bags fled from the city in terror. No one stood in the way.

After seeing the heavily armed Ming army, they were frightened one by one. Like a rabbit, run fast. asked a few people one after another, but they only cared about sparing their lives. In the end, the Ming soldiers could not do it, and threatened them that if they answered the wrong question, they would kill them.

That's when I found out what was going on inside.

But the armies of the towns have fought in the outer cities. This raging fire was burned from the outer city.

After learning about these situations, Liu Weiguo asked the Ming army to divide into four roads and quickly occupy the four city gates with lightning speed. When Nguyen Dynasty soldiers, officials, and suspicious people came out, they were arrested. Whoever resists, will be killed!

When the time comes, everyone will be arrested. It is better to make a mistake than to let it go.

This time, the mercenaries who came with the Nanyang Fleet were only one group in Java. However, the surrender army of the Xishan Dynasty was 10,000. There are still 40,000 people in the back, who are rushing here from the Red River Delta.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty sent an army to the north and incorporated many Xishan Dynasty surrender troops. In the end, it was cut and cut, leaving 70,000 people. They are not the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, nor are they mercenaries. The pay is lower than that of mercenaries.

After they were co-opted, the Ming Dynasty divided the fields and land in the seized Red River Delta and built a military cantonment. Let them train and farm at the same time. Half of the harvested grain is handed over, and the rest is kept for personal use. It also saves on military spending.

This made the development of Juntun relatively smooth. After all, when these people were farming at home, eighty percent of them were handed over to the landlord Haoqiang. Compared with it, Da Ming is much more merciful.

It's just that in the eyes of the mercenaries, the treatment of this surrender is really pitiful. As a result, they also have an object of contempt. lest the regular army look down on them and stare dryly.
