But since Champong Port is the fief of the princess, these taxes belong directly to the princess, and the treasury can only turn a blind eye to these taxes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info At present, such a good opportunity, if the princess can be pulled off the horse, then this fief will be taken back by the Annan Kingdom, because of the management of the port of Champong, it is inevitable to send new officials from the Ministry of Officials, this matter has been quietly discussed many times in the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, this time since the opportunity has been seized, it is natural to make every effort to pull the princess off the horse.

Nguyen Phuc Yuan has no son, only such a daughter, Annan's throne must be passed on to men and not to women, and it is impossible for a princess to become an empress. So although it will make the emperor feel unhappy to make the princess stumble here now, there is no big worry in the future. Moreover, if you get the port of Champong, the treasury revenue will be at least one million taels more for no reason, and then it will be easier for the ministries to be greedy for ink, and there is no need to be as overstretched as now.

However, the princess seemed to be very stubborn, and not only sent a letter of victory, but also sent the heads of more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers. The soldier in charge of the inventory has carefully inspected it, whether it is a random spot check at the beginning or a comprehensive inventory at the end, these more than 3,000 heads are really brutes. The squire was terrified in his heart, he was quite clear about the combat effectiveness of these barbarians, to kill three thousand barbarian soldiers, it would take at least 100,000 troops for the Annan army to do it, was the princess's army so strong? In addition to being frightened, he also quickly reported the situation to Lord Shangshu, but this military department Shangshu did not take these things to heart at all, since he had made up his mind to work together to overthrow the princess, then he had to spare no effort, no matter how strong the princess's army was, it was also Annan's army. As long as the holy decree is sent over, it will definitely be obediently disarmed, and when the time comes, it will be disbanded, and naturally there will be no threat. Besides, although Annan's army is not good at fighting barbarians, it is still very good at suppressing rebellions or something, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

As for the Ministry of Works, the thirty wheels sent by the princess were thrown aside by the squire of the Ministry of War without even looking at them. He is a master of writing articles, and he is also an official who can understand the spirit of his superiors, so he directly wrote a report to Shangshu, and criticized these wheels and handcuffs to nothing.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu carefully read the report submitted by the waiter, and was talking to Ruan Fuyuan at this time, "These so-called wheel continuous handguns, the body of the gun is light and small, the wall of the gun pipe is very thin, and there is nowhere to ignite during the period, which is really a shoddy fake. The lower official asserts here that the princess must have been deceived by the treacherous and deceived. Your Majesty is please. ”

As he spoke, the squire handed over a revolver, "This is the handcuff offered by Her Royal Highness the Princess, please take a look." ”

This pistol was specially selected by them, and it was the worst pistol of all, and many of the stamping burrs on it were not filed, and it was still a little prickly in the hand.

Ruan Fuyuan couldn't help but be a little stunned, and reached out to take the pistol, he had never seen such a firearm, and he actually had a big belly in the middle, with a runner in his stomach, and there were six magazines in the wheel, which looked like it should be able to hold the medicine. Although he is not an expert in firearms, he also knows some fur, and the handcuff must not be fired without a sub-drug, so he put the handcuff to his nose and sniffed it, only then did he realize that this handcuff had really not been fired, and there was no smell of gunpowder at all.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to the Ministry of Works, "Where's Ziyao?" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Works was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to know that this thing was a medicine, but fortunately he was prepared, he took out a yellow bullet from his pocket and presented it to the emperor. The bullets were taken from the bullet box sent by the princess, but in order to prevent them from being powerful, they specially soaked them in water. After all, if something like gunpowder is soaked in water, it will definitely not be launched, and if the emperor's first shot cannot be fired, he will definitely have a very bad impression of the weapon offered by the princess.

Ruan Phuc Yuan took the bullet and was taken aback when he got it, it was an all-metal bullet. Even if it was produced in this space-time, the bullets produced by the Ministry of Military Industry were made of bronze shells, and the warheads used flowering warheads made of lead. Ruan Fuyuan had seen many kinds of fire potions, but he had never seen such exquisite pills, and even compared to the small ornaments on his desk, this pill could be regarded as a work of art. He turned over and looked at the bottom of the bullet, and there was a small brass bump, I don't know what it was for, and the edge of the small bump was also engraved with the words "1628" and "12". He couldn't read the Arabic numerals, so he tried to load the bullet into the wheel. However, he took it backwards and couldn't put it in, so he turned the bullet off and it was loaded smoothly.

But he pulled the trigger and nothing came out. You must know that after this pistol leaves the factory as a finished product, it is necessary to confirm that the insurance is closed before packing, at this time, there is no manual, and there is no person familiar with the pistol to guide him, how does Ruan Phuc Yuan know that the metal part next to the thumb is used to prevent accidental triggering? After pulling the trigger a few times in vain, nothing happened, so he threw the pistol back on the table and said, "How do you use this thing?" ”

Several officials shook their heads, saying that it was a waste product that could not be used. Ruan Fuyuan was also playing a drum in his heart at this time, his daughter should not lie to herself, although there are still some burrs on the handle of this handcuff, but whether it is the workmanship of the handcuff or the medicine, it is exquisite, even if it is a handicraft, it is worth a lot. It seems that I still have to let my daughter teach me how to use it.

"And where are the heads?" He couldn't help but feel moved, he couldn't believe that his subordinates were fake when they said it was fake, it was always better to take a look at it himself.

"Back to Your Majesty, those heads have rotted after a long time, and the lower official has ordered a fire to burn them." The military department Shangshu was secretly happy in his heart, but fortunately he was decisive, and after the squire reported that it was true, he burned all the fires, so as not to let people see it.

"Huh?" Ruan Fuyuan was a little angry now, "Since it is something presented by the princess, why did I burn it without seeing you?" Why are you all like this now? Do you still see me as an emperor? ”

"Xiaguan is thinking about Jiangshan Sheji!" The military department was still in a panic, but it was just a standard five-body posture bowed down and there were words in his mouth.

"Your Majesty," another eunuch shouted outside the hall, "the Ministry of Rites asks to see you." ”

"Xuan!" Ruan Fuyuan was in a mess at this time, and asked casually, "What about the soldiers sent by Champa Port to escort them?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," the Ministry of Industry Shangshu on the side hurriedly replied, "the lower officials have exposed this fake handcuff, these soldiers are lawless, and they have even argued with the officials of the Ministry of Industry face to face, and have been expelled from Hue by the forbidden army, and now they should be on their way back to occupy the city port." ”

What the hell is this doing? Ruan Fuyuan's head was even more chaotic, at first he said that it was the head of three thousand barbarian soldiers, but the military department said that it was fake, and he burned it with a fire on his back; Then 30 repeating handcuffs were delivered, but the Ministry of Engineering said it was a fake, and he saw it, but he couldn't launch it. If you want to find a soldier who knows how to fire this kind of handcuff, the Ministry of Industry actually drove back all the soldiers sent to escort it, what is this matter? It seems that the only way to find out what happened is to call my daughter over.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu trotted in all the way, and knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor!" The envoy of Maidno sent a letter of state, demanding that the port of Champa be exchanged for the seized envoy of Maidno. ”

"Medeno Emissary? Impound? Ruan Fuyuan was completely confused at this time. The Medeno people are invincible at sea, no one can challenge their hegemony on the sea, there are many ports near the sea in Annan, and most of them rely on the port to export grain and many agricultural products to obtain taxes, and the dependence on maritime commerce and shipping routes is quite high.

He snatched the letter of state held in the hand of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and opened it to see that it was indeed a letter sent by Medeno from Donghai City, which claimed that when the southern barbarians invaded the north, the port of Zhancheng seized a number of Medeno envoys, and blocked the port to prevent the Medeno people from landing to protect the expatriate. It is also claimed that during the fighting, the Meedno were forced to participate in the defense of the city, resulting in many deaths and many captures, and until now four Meedno merchant ships and thousands of sailors have been seized.

The Medeno people suffered heavy losses in the process of remotely controlling the southern barbarians and the northern attack, and the southern barbarians under his command not only suffered more than 2,000 casualties on the way to the port of Champang, but also the headquarters was bombed and eliminated at one point, most of the staff officers sent out died, and two were captured by the Annamites. So they immediately sent a powerful fleet of six Fengrui-class warships to the port of Champang, trying to blockade the port to deter them from surrendering, but unexpectedly, the port of Champa was blocked and the port was burned, not only was the blockade of the port meaningless, but even the original plan to send supplies to the barbarian army also failed. So they changed their plans and went to the port of the East, north of the port of Champong, in a vain attempt to supply the barbarian army by land. Who knew that these Chinese, who seemed to have little sea power, suddenly showed their fangs, not only directly sank two Fengrui-class battleships on the way forward, but also defeated the landing sailors in the port defense battle, and incidentally captured two battleships, sank one, and the other was seriously injured and forced to rush to the beach and surrender. At this time, they were mobilizing their forces and preparing to put pressure on the port of Vostochny to release the captured captains and other officers and return the ships. But at this time, they first have to find the bad luck of Annan, this usually soft persimmon-like Annan country at this time under the support of the Chinese in Dongfang Port actually dared to face the barbarian army, and also won, this matter can not be ignored, if it is allowed to continue, how can the Maidno people run rampant in the South China Sea in the future? Therefore, an envoy was sent to deliver credentials to put pressure on the king of Annam, Nguyen Phuc Yuan.
