Chapter 338: Abdication
To the north of Fuchun City, outside the inner city is a gathering place for the people, and in the northernmost part near the river, there is a three-storey inn on the riverside, which is quite extraordinary, at least in this mixed place outside the city, it is one of the best landmark buildings.
At the beginning, in order to avoid the meeting between the Zheng envoy and the Ming envoy, Ruan Fucang, the second son of the Ruan lord of Guangnan, arranged the Zheng envoy in this inn, and arranged Su Baiyi and his party in the post station in the east of the city.
Guo Cheng and six people were huddled in a hollow by the river at this time, each of them covered their faces with black scarves, carrying a bright knife in their hands, and a kettle pinned to their waists.
"When?" Guo Cheng asked.
A soldier next to him said: "Go back to Lord Guo, I'm afraid it's the fourth watch." β
"Almost!" Another voice said, "Lord Guo, it's dawn in the evening, let's do it!" β
"Wait!" Guo Cheng glanced at the soldier and said, "What do you know?" The Governor said that this dawn is the time when people sleep most soundly, and the time when defense is the lowest, and wait until the fifth watch before acting. β
A few people continued to shrink by the river, motionless, their tiger-wolf-like bodies completely blending with the black night.
In fact, as early as when Su Baiyi left in the morning, Guo Cheng had already been arranged to start acting.
The three-pronged approach, the first is to buy off Lord Ruan's concubine to blow the pillow wind, the second is to use the two kingdoms of Cham and Zhenla to intimidate Ruan Fulan, and the third is to cut off the Ruan family's back road.
Guo Cheng only selected the six strongest people from the five hundred strong, each with two knives and a pot of oil.
Purpose: Kill!
When the fifth watch day was approaching, Guo Cheng led six people to come out from under the dark river one after another, and most of the soldiers on night patrol had already begun to change their guards, which was the time when the defense in this area was the most lax.
Guo Cheng led the people to the main entrance of the inn in three steps and two steps, and knocked the door.
The hall in the main hall had not yet slept, and when he heard a knock on the door outside, he muttered, and scolded and scolded: "Wow, Lily Guar, Kagon, Tourist Wood Cross, Wow, Wow, Chair Hair, Black His Table!" β
Guo Cheng listened to the crooked chatter inside, but he couldn't understand it anyway, he didn't say a word, just knocked on the door vigorously.
The hall had no choice but to get up and open the door, but suddenly saw six or seven big men in black break in, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but he saw a bright knife flash, and his head was suddenly different.
"Close, Clearer!" Guo Cheng shouted, the big man behind closed the door, and several people walked around the entire building, and found that some people were not asleep outside, and they were directly killed.
When everything was ready, the candles in the hall on the first floor were extinguished, a flashlight was pulled out to illuminate it, and the seven of them untied the gasoline pot hanging from their waists and sprinkled it all over the hall.
Smelling the smell of gasoline in the room, Guo Cheng asked, "Is it all ready?" β
"That's it!"
"Okay, let's get out!" The door of the hall was opened, and several people went out one after another, and after everyone evacuated to safety, Guo Cheng drew his bow and fired a rocket into the hall.
Suddenly, the hall burst into flames, and the entire wooden attic burst into flames.
"Give it to me head-on, the other three sides, two people on each side, come out and kill one, and retreat when you see my signal!" Guo Cheng waved his hand, and the six of them left one after another.
The raging fire soon alarmed the guests in the building, and the smoke filled the building, and it was immediately chaotic.
Someone shouted in the Annan language, someone jumped straight from the building.
There were already people waiting on each side of the downstairs, and as soon as someone jumped down, there were soldiers who went up and cut off their heads, whether they were alive or dead.
After about three minutes, the people around the inn were alarmed, and some people ran out in panic to put out the fire, Guo Cheng waved his hand and gathered his six soldiers by the river and went down the river.
At this time, three or four minutes have passed, and the people who can escape from the building have been chopped into two pieces, and it is estimated that those who did not escape will basically not be able to escape, so Guo Cheng did not continue to stay at the scene, but fled.
"Damn, this oil is amazing!" A man whispered excitedly: "It's much better than the tung oil used in the army, just a little bit, it burns up with a bang, and it can't be extinguished!" β
"Don't you talk a lot!" Guo Cheng kicked the ass of the goods, and sneered: "Hurry up and give Lao Tzu a hurry, say one more word, Lao Tzu will pour oil on your head and try it." β
β¦β¦
In the inner courtyard of Nguyen Phuc Clan, Lord Nguyen is an old man who has the habit of getting up early every day. Because the eldest son disappeared after going to see the envoy yesterday, he didn't sleep well all night, and got up early in the morning, looking at the northwest wind of the city faintly burning into the sky, but he couldn't look very carefully, so he asked the servant beside him: "What's the matter?" Why does the Lord look like he has walked out of water? β
The servant glanced at it and said, "The villain will go and inquire." β
The two were talking, but they saw the eldest prince Ruan Fulan coming in from outside in a hurry.
Ruan Fuyuan didn't care about the firelight, and said with a sigh of relief: "You're finally back." β
The old slave also cried with joy and said, "The lord thought that the eldest son was kidnapped by gangsters and didn't sleep well all night. β
Ruan Fulan was slightly moved, and arched his hand towards his father and said, "My son is not filial!" β
Ruan Fuyuan scolded the old slave: "You talk a lot of nonsense, go see what's going on over there." He glanced at his eldest son again: "Lan, come here, tell me, where did the Ming envoy take you to, the master searched for a day on the sea yesterday, and he didn't see a shadow." β
"Father, come into the house and talk!" Ruan Fulan slowly approached the study with his father in his arms, poured him a cup of steaming water, and then said: "The son is not filial, so my father is worried!" β
Thinking that his father couldn't sleep well in the yard at such an age, but he ran to the boat, drinking and playing with women, Ruan Fulan couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
"Let's talk about it first!" Lord Ruan waved his hand.
Ruan Fulan said in a low voice: "Father, do you remember what Uncle Yu said in his letter a few days ago, what he said is really good, Daming really has that kind of boat, which does not rely on the wind and does not use sails, and runs extremely fast in the sea, and can swim freely regardless of the wind or wind, wading through rivers and seas is like walking on the ground." β
"Is there such a ship?" Ruan Fuyuan's breathing was slightly short, and he said, "Lan, are you still up?" β
"Yes, Father!" Ruan Fulan said: "No wonder the father couldn't find the child on the sea, yesterday morning the son and Na Su Baiyi set off from the sea outside Fuchun by boat, and arrived at Daming Qiongzhou Island in the evening, where they had dinner and returned, and they had just arrived at the shore at this moment. β
"Hiss......" Ruan Fuyuan gasped, with a look of fear on his face, and said, "So fast, going back and forth from Qiongzhou in one day and one night?" β
"The child doesn't dare to say half a lie!"
"It's broken, it's broken!" Ruan Fuyuan said: "Daming has this kind of ship, and it is as easy as eating and drinking water to invade our country in the future, how can this be done, and besides, the master has neglected Daming this time." β
"Father!" Ruan Fulan suddenly knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Son, please father, befriend the Ming Dynasty, immediately accept the canonization of the Ming Emperor, and don't pester the Zheng family anymore, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it." For me Quang Nam, there is even more unfavorable news! β
"What?" Ruan Fuyuan asked with wide eyes.
Ruan Fulan said: "It's Cham, and the envoy is going to Champa to preach and appease." If you want to meet the power of Zhenla and Cham, you will pass over Siam. Father, if this is the case, how can we plan these two countries? β
"Poof......
When Ruan Fuyuan heard this, his throat was sweet and a mouthful of blood spit out.
He inherited the legacy of his father and ancestors, and worked hard to run Quang Nam for more than 20 years, and his biggest goal in this life was to swallow the Khmer in the southeast of Champa and Chenla, these two pieces of anointed land were his forbidden nains, and no one was allowed to touch them.
Once these two pieces of land are obtained, Jin can compete with the Zheng family for the world, and retreat can divide one side.
But now, the fat that he saw was about to get was suddenly stirred up by Da Ming, how could he not be angry.
This anger was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Father, father......" Ruan Fulan was shocked and hurried to help.
Ruan Fuyuan waved his hand, his face pale.
He is seventy-one years old this year, and he can't live for a few days, and his lifelong ambition has been shattered by a messenger of the Ming Dynasty, and he seems to be ten years old in an instant.
"It's okay, don't worry, listen to me!" After Ruan Fuyuan meditated for a few minutes, he finally calmed down, and the imperial doctor outside had already run over, he waved his hand to drive the imperial doctor out, and said, "Lan, because my father is in a hurry, it's not a disease, and the imperial doctor can't cure it." If I have three longs and two shorts, the Quang Nam Nguyen clan will fall on your shoulders. β
Nguyen Phuc Lan was happy and sad at the same time.
"Father......" Nguyen Phuc Lan burst into tears.
At this time, the sky was already bright outside, and the slave and maid who went out to inquire about the news hurried back to the palace and said, "Oh no, my lord, something is wrong." "Ran to the door of Nguyen Phuc Yuan's study and reported that the Zheng envoy had been burned to death.
Ruan Fuyuan waved his hand calmly and said, "Got it, you go out." After the old slave left, he said to the eldest son: "This must be the means of the wise envoy, I can't imagine that he is so young and so old!" β
"Father, now that the situation is established, let's ......"
Ruan Fuyuan waved his hand and said: "In the fifteenth year of Guangxing, Li Shizong sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to ask the Ming court to restore the canonization of the past 'King of Annam', but the Ming court only awarded the title of 'Commander of Annam' on the grounds that the situation was undecided. It can be seen that Da Ming is not at ease. However, we will not accept the title of the king now, and the father will preach to the four directions today, and you will rule the land of Quang Nam, and the title of 'King of Quang Nam' will be accepted by you.
Also, you remember, and tell your descendants, we don't have a chance at the moment, and once we have the opportunity in the future, we must take the two places of Cham and Chenla Khmer. In this way, there is the danger of Hengshan Lingjiang in the north of Guangzhou, and there is the solidity of Haiyun Tablet Mountain in the south, the mountain produces gold and iron, and the sea produces fish and salt, which is a place where heroes come into play. If you can tame the people and fight against the Zheng family, you will be able to build a business for all generations. β
"Son commands!" Nguyen Phuc Lan fell to his knees.
