Chapter 197: Lucky General Liang!
From those who saw the opportunity quickly, escaped a catastrophe, and ran to the Nam Nguyen camp under Nha Trang City to report that the Cam Ranh City sailors were lured out of Cam Ranh Bay by a Qing State sailor, and then a group of Western pirates of unknown origin suddenly appeared, broke through Cam Ranh City, and looted the news of the ammunition, ordnance and various materials looted by the Cam Ranh people to Nguyen Phuc Anh, this Annan hero was first shocked and incredulous, then angry, and finally, when he personally led the elite to rush to the bottom of Na Cam Ranh City, Looking at the Jinlan City, which was already covered with the corpses of his own soldiers, the people in the city and those supplies had all disappeared without a trace, and the rats could only come out with a bag of tears in their mouths. Ruan Fuying fell under the horse, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of his subordinates, I'm afraid that Ruan Fuying might just fart.
And when Zheng Lianchang, who was fighting happily around Na Suihe, received the news from Ruan Fuying, he was so angry that he almost bled out, his own soldiers actually died, and they died behind him who thought they were safe, and the elite of the five thousand sailors actually let the Qingguo sailors under the banner of the Guangdong sailors be wiped out in one fell swoop, and when Zheng Lianchang led the sailors to the mouth of Cam Ranh Bay, all he saw was some floating corpses and fragments of ships that were still rippling on the water, soaked and white, and swollen. Not even a living cockroach could be found.
Ruan Fuying was extremely depressed and crazy, he didn't expect that there would be two thieves who actually put their hands into a pocket at the same time, one destroyed his own left-behind sailor, and the other was even more shameless, directly moving the entire Jinlan City with people and things, although Jinlan City is small and has just experienced a big war, but at least there are tens of thousands of people, but just let those damn Western pirates all be captured and put on the ship.
There are also fish that have slipped through the net, and the news obtained from their mouths has made Ruan Fuying, who knows a little bit about the West, more and more determined in his heart, this is definitely a group of Western pirates who are extremely murderous and have no surname, only they will buy and sell people as slaves.
Zheng Lianchang finally learned the news from the mouths of several soldiers guarding the dock, that is, the banner of the Qing Naval Division who came to Cam Ranh Bay before the Western pirates, Zheng Lianchang was so angry that he wanted to bite off a piece of the ship's wall with his teeth.
I couldn't have imagined that Liang Pengfei's ghost was so ghostly, and he hit himself again, last time, he stabbed himself in his heart, and this time, he stabbed him again, if Zheng Lianchang didn't have any heart problems, maybe he would have died of heartache.
--------------------
Just when Ruan Phuc Anh hesitated whether to continue to mobilize materials and ammunition from the rear to storm Nha Trang, there was a news that made him almost vomit blood in anger, a Western pirate fleet of unknown origin, which was also extremely powerful, ransacked Nakun Island, that is, Ruan Phuc Anh's shipbuilding base, not only the ten warships under construction were turned into broken wood, but the elite of the three thousand sailors who stayed behind also sank into the sea and became a delicacy in the mouths of fish and shrimp.
Moreover, countless shipbuilders and materials have also become trophies in the belly of the other party, and the shipyards on Kunlun Island have also become a ruin, but the testimony of several French mercenaries who escaped made Ruan Phuc Anh's eyes feel like a fist, blue and black.
They insisted that the bandit who raided and ransacked the shipyard on Kunlun Island was a fleet hired by the Spaniards, because they saw a number of Spanish officers and soldiers commanding the Western pirates and Chinese pirates.
The successive bad news made Ruan Phuc Ying angry, but he had no choice but to withdraw the army from the city of Nha Trang, and let Zheng Lianchang's fleet go south, for fear that those Western pirates who had inexplicably attacked him would make trouble behind him again, and also to prevent the Qing Navy Division who had completely annihilated his own sailors from appearing again.
Of course, letting the pirates hired by the Spaniards take a bite of this, which immediately reminded Ruan Phuc Anh of the Western pirates who ransacked Cam Ranh City, their methods were also neat, so Ruan Phuc Anh firmly believed that these two despicable and shameless cases were done by the Spaniards, and those French who were on errands under Ruan Phuc Anh also believed that this was the case.
For this reason, they were surprisingly angry, and they could not have imagined that Spain, which had always been the younger brother of France, would actually reach out to the colony that they had been peeking at for a long time. Although they were not appointed by the state, because of the internal turmoil and frequent wars, France did not fulfill the promise of the Treaty of Versailles, but the proud Gallic rooster decided that it was a provocation by the Spaniards against their own nakedness.
Although none of the Europeans were authentic, often pretending to be or hiring pirates to attack and loot their colonial opponents, they were always careful not to let the other side catch the evidence, but this time, the eyes of several French mercenaries saw the uniforms and flags of the Spaniards, so they had to take action, so they sent people home to report this serious diplomatic incident, and on the other hand, they sent people to question the governor of Luzon, the Spanish colonial administrator in the South Seas, and made the most serious protest.
However, none of this is Liang Pengfei's concern, he originally hoped that these European countries would look at each other unpleasantly, and it was best to pinch each other to be comfortable.
There can be no doubt that France and England were hostile countries, but relations between France and Spain were good until the advent of Napoleon, and Liang Pengfei only brought this time forward a little.
When Liang Pengfei led the broken sailors who only had more than 1,000 men left, dragged the tired footsteps back to Nasuihe City, they were welcomed and treated like heroes. Ruan Wenyue, who had been hiding in the palace of Suihe City all day long, and was happily playing a game of guessing and undressing with his concubines, also appeared, and personally rushed to the dock to get close to this famous and famous Ruan, and annihilated the 5,000 sailors of Nan Ruan in one fell swoop, forcing Zheng Lianchang to retreat to Liang Pengfei, the general of the Great Qing State in Cam Ranh.
In addition to rewarding some wealth and verbal rewards, the central emperor Nguyen Van Ngot, who only had two provinces left, patted his ass and went back to his palace to continue his otaku game, leaving the prince Nguyen Bao to deal with the scene.
Just three days before Liang Pengfei returned to Suihe City, they had already received the news that Na Nan Ruan had withdrawn from the army, and the good news that Liang Pengfei had completely annihilated the 5,000 sailors of Nan Ruan outside Cam Ranh Bay also reached here.
--------------------
"It's dangerous, it's too dangerous, I said brother, you're gambling on your life." Wang Shouli took a sip of wine, wiped the wine stains on his lips, and after listening to the lies made up by Liang Pengfei, Wang Shouli shook his head again and again: "If it weren't for those Xiyi pirates making trouble behind, if it weren't for those Xiyi pirates who looted the Nanruan materials in Jinlan City and forced Ruan Fuying to withdraw his troops, then Zheng Lianchang was afraid that he would not be able to search slowly on the surrounding sea?" With your 1,000-odd tired army, you can't even run. ”
This is a courtyard of the crown prince Ruan Bao, and now, it has become the residence of the two Qing generals, after all, if you work so hard for you, if you don't give some sweetness, a pig will be angry, not to mention the suzerainty of the Qing Dynasty, which has an excellent face.
Therefore, the Great Qingshui Division not only obtained the permission to go ashore at will, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave up this courtyard, which proves one thing, showing the strength it should have, and can gain enough respect, originally Ruan Van Yue just regarded them as the defeated generals of Zheng Lianchang, the commander of the Southern Ruan Water Division.
You must know that Zheng Lianchang fought in Lingdingyang, and these vassal states were also very concerned, otherwise, how could Zheng Lianchang be reused by Ruan Phuc Ying as soon as he arrived in Nanruan, that is, he valued his combat ability.
And Liang Pengfei's battle made Ruan Wenyue see clearly that the sailors of the Qing Dynasty are not all soft persimmons, and when they meet Zheng Lianchang, they only know how to have weak legs.
"Yes, that's true, the five thousand sailors, it really hurts my brother, nearly two thousand brothers, it's just gone......" Liang Pengfei's face was miserable and sad, his mouth was running wildly, Wu Liang and Wu Qianjin behind him almost laughed, and finally held back.
"Luck, your luck is really good, if you fight with that Zheng Lianshou a little later, I'm afraid, you will really bump into those Xiyi pirates, at that time, you will really be miserable." Wang Shouli felt that Liang Pengfei's luck was too fucking good.
As soon as the battle of Cam Ranh Bay was fought and retreated, the group of Western pirates came, if the decisive battle between Liang Pengfei and that Zheng Lianshou was one or two hours at night, maybe they would have to wrap the powerful Western pirates in dumplings, and after a big battle, where would they have the spare strength to deal with those Western pirates with strong ships and guns.
And because of the actions of those Western pirates, Ruan Fuying had to withdraw his troops and retreat, and the main force of Zheng Lianchang's naval division could only retreat in a hurry, which also gave Liang Pengfei time and space to calmly advance north.
"If I had such luck, I am afraid that the Admiral of the Guangdong Navy would be mine now." Wang Shouli thought unwillingly.
Liang Pengfei smiled, shaking the wine glass, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, that is, Annan, now, he can't eat it for the time being, and he originally wanted to clean up Annan's idea in one fell swoop, but he can only put it off for the time being...... Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty's current heavy troops are pressed at the north and south ends of Anbei, and the troops in the hands of Ruan Fuying have not been disabled, although he has let himself clean up fiercely and bitten down his sailors and belongings, but the strength is still there.
However, after the court intervened in Annan's matter, Liang Pengfei's follow-up plan was easy to implement.
The Qing Dynasty would not waste too much of its material and financial resources for a small vassal state, so after the war had reached a certain level, it would naturally let go, and the powerful faction of Annam would definitely not be easily exterminated, so it was only necessary to wait.
And Liang Pengfei's strength also takes time, twenty or thirty thousand soldiers seem to be a lot, but in fact, it is far from enough to occupy Annan and occupy Nanyang.
Therefore, Liang Pengfei let his father plunder the population, and Liang Pengfei has formulated a comprehensive plan, using piracy to continue to plunder the coastal cities of Annan, plundering all the population and materials, this move can not only deal a great blow to the overall national strength of Annan, but also increase his own strength and population, and it is more convenient to control and occupy Annan in the future.
