248. The South China Sea suddenly rises to the wall wind (6)
The army of the Annam Nguyen family was divided into five odds: center, left, front, rear, and right. Now, in order to compete with the Zheng clan, most of the troops have been transferred to Lihaimen, so the number of troops left in the main camp (the place where the Ruan lord is stationed) is only 3,000 people from Zhongqi.
Although the number is small, it is the most elite unit of the Ruan family, equipped not only with muskets, but also cannons and elephant soldiers. In Nguyen Phuc Yuan's view, these 3,000 people are enough to suppress those with bad intentions under his rule.
In fact, the main ones with bad intentions are his family.
"This is the grain sent by Quang Nam?"
As a lower-level official of the General Officials Division, Li Duan couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the six ships in front of him.
It's really not the right time to arrive, I came so late, where to find someone to get off the boat!
The General Officials Department was one of the three divisions in the Nguyen Clan's regime, in charge of money and tax expenditures, and the chief official was called "the official", which had always been held only by the most trusted people of the Nguyen Clan. This is also a relatively good lack in the Nguyen regime, and being able to be a small official here can also reap a lot of benefits.
"It's also annoying for the commissioner to accept."
"It's so late, where are you going to find someone for acceptance?" After waiting for a while, seeing that the Guangnan officials who escorted the grain had never given routine bribes, Li Duan was even more annoyed: "You wait here first, so that you can take care of it, if there is less food, it is said that it is less than 6,000 stones, and naturally your master will settle accounts with you!" ”
After he finished speaking, he said to the two main battalion officers beside him: "The situation has been quiet recently, you are so good that you are not allowed to move around at will, do you understand?" ”
Those two were low-level officers, with more than a dozen soldiers in the main battalion, they were used to cooperating with the generals, of course they knew the mystery of this, so they smiled and said: "Master, just rest assured, there will be no mistakes!" ”
Li Duan smiled, turned around and left, and hung these guys for a night, so that they could eat more mosquitoes at the water's edge, and maybe they would be honest.
The Guangnan official who escorted the grain did not panic, but turned around and said to one person: "It's really like this." ”
The man glared at him, and the Guangnan official realized that he had said the wrong thing, and snorted: "I'd better take a break, call me when the meal is ready." ”
Li Duan listened to their conversation, but he didn't care, and he staggered back to his home.
He has a house in Phuoc An Mansion, and it is said that Nguyen Phuc Lan, the heir of the Buddha, is not very satisfied with Phu An Mansion, but at least for now, his house built by Ming Guo Zhai is quite valuable. Li Duan had several wives and concubines in his family, and after returning home, he had dinner and stayed in the most favored concubine's room, and after some tossing, he calmed down and wanted to sleep, but at this time, the words of the Guangnan official surfaced in his mind again.
"That's really it......"
What did the little official of Guangnan mean by this, could it be that he had expected this kind of result? Since it was expected, why didn't you prepare for filial piety and have to feed mosquitoes outside all night?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Just as he was meditating, the water's edge was full of the aroma of meat, and in the iron pot erected, because of the addition of various spices, the smell of meat spread far and wide, and even the sergeant of the middle battalion guarding here couldn't help but stretch his neck and swallow his saliva.
"These idiots, they eat well, they even have meat, and they are better off than all of us." Someone cursed.
"That is, why did the magistrate go back and sleep with fragrant women, and we are here with these idiots, and watch them eat meat?"
Their whispered discussion also reached the ears of the officials and sailors in Quang Nam, and one of them said loudly: "Everyone is working for the Buddha, what do you share with each other, brothers, if you don't dislike us from the countryside of Quang Nam, let's share our food together, anyway, we cook a little too much." ”
"That's it, let's eat together."
The babbling greetings rang out, and the two officers could no longer suppress their men, and they all ran over. The weather is hot, and everyone sits by the water, eating and munching, which is really happy.
These officers and men of the main battalion did not realize that they were all facing away from the six grain ships.
And at this time, a figure got on the grain, he whispered in the boat, and then the grain bag on the ship was silently cut by the dagger, and then, a figure came out of the grain bag.
After him, one figure after another came out, and there were hundreds of people!
I couldn't understand what the words of the Guangnan officials meant, Li Duan patted his head: "That guy ......"
Then, he was shocked, Guangnan Xiaoguan guessed that he would hang the other party, not only did he not make up for it in advance, but he seemed to be looking forward to it, which proved that the other party intended to do so!
The other party didn't want him to receive all the food tonight, and he didn't want to make him suspicious, so he adopted the method of refusing to accept bribes!
Those grains, there is a problem!
Thinking of this, Li Duan jumped up, and the concubine beside him was frightened: "Officer Lang, what's the matter?" ”
"Shut up, don't be wordy!" Li Duan only felt the sweat rolling down his forehead, he casually ripped off his clothes and straw sandals, spread his legs and ran out.
But he has no evidence, only speculation, who can help him in this situation? Perhaps, even if he reported his suspicions, he would only provoke ridicule, not praise.
How do you do that, or who can you turn to for help?
He thought of the officers and soldiers who had been ordered to guard it, and of the people who had transferred them to him.
Navy General Nguyen Youjin!
Ruan Youjin is the son-in-law of Tao Weici, the military master of the Buddha, and was recommended to the Buddha by Tao Weici, although there is no special performance after that, the Buddha trusts him very much. This time, the young master resisted the Zheng clan in the north, and the Buddha sent Ruan Youyi and other generals in the army to help, and Ruan Youjin, the general of the water division, was left alone in the main camp, which shows his ability and trust.
In fact, in the original history, this Ruan Youjin was indeed quite talented, and he was considered a tall man among the dwarves in the Annan people, and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of An Guo by the later Ruan Dynasty.
Thinking of this person, Li Duan's hanging heart relaxed, even if there was any problem, Ruan Youjin should be able to solve it. And Ruan Youjin is a stable person, if the suspicion he finds is just a lot of heart, he will also praise himself for being cautious, but he will not blame himself for being troublesome.
Thinking of this, Li Duan raised the lantern and ran towards Ruan Youjin's house.
"This meat is well cooked, you Guangnan still have such skills, I also want to go to Guangnan to meet it." One of the two officers chewed meat in his mouth and said vaguely.
"Yes, yes, welcome the captain to our Quang Nam, if it comes, the villain will definitely entertain you......"
When the word "hospitality" came out of the mouths of the little officials who were dealing with these officers and soldiers of the main battalion, behind each officer and soldier of the Ruan family, a strong hand stretched out and dragged them back. Then the other man's short knife stabbed him in the abdomen, twisted it, pulled it out, and slashed it in the throat.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 corpses fell to the ground.
Qi Niu made a vicious gesture, and the more than twenty corpses were dragged and thrown into the water. Seeing this scene, the faces of those small officials and sailors in Guangnan were all pale: these Ming people acted decisively, acted ruthlessly, and solved more than 20 elite soldiers in the main battalion, but they didn't make any noise!
Immediately afterwards, Qi Niu whistled in his mouth and blew lightly, and the grain boats began to shake slightly, and then, one after another, the guards jumped down from the grain boats.
After the family guards came down, several Annanites helped Ruan Phuc Yu, who also had a bad face, to get off the boat. The smell of blood made Ruan Fuyu sneeze, and then he arched his hand towards Ye Wuya, who was accompanying him: "General Ye, what should I do next?" ”
Ye Wuya pointed at Qi Niu: "Of course, control the palace, and then take him to see the old king." ”
Qi Niu turned around and smiled at Ruan Fuyu, but Ruan Fuyu shivered, I don't know why, when he saw this tower-like "Ming General", he was always panicked in his heart.
Even if he knows that he is here to help himself.
"Okay, then let me come!"
Phuoc An Mansion is not big, but there are a lot of rules, but fortunately, Nguyen Phuoc has an internal response here. Qi Niu followed Ruan Fuyu through the muddy and dirty streets, and met the patrol guards several times on the way, but they were all confused.
Immediately after, they came to a continuous stretch of buildings.
"I have a little insider inside, and he will open the door for us." Standing at the side door, Ruan Fuyu's heart began to pound, and now, it was the most critical time.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sudden chaos in the palace, as if the people who had been asleep for a moment had been awakened. Ye Wuya frowned, even if he couldn't understand Annan's bird language, he understood that something was wrong with what was happening inside!
"Break the door!" He said indifferently.
It's too late to wait for the internal officials to open the door, and now they must go in in the shortest possible time and control Ruan Phuc Yuan!
Qi Niu smiled, and then slammed it hard, and the side door was knocked open. At this moment, there was an exclamation from the door, and a man fell to the ground.
"Nguyen Van Gia? It's the king, and the king is coming. Hearing that voice is familiar, Ruan Phuc said.
"Ah, little lord, here you are!" The frightened man stood up. Fortunately, the palace is noisy now, and his little movement has not attracted too much attention.
"This is the Elephant Garden?" Ye Wuya smelled an unpleasant smell and asked Ruan Fuyu.
"Yes, my people are in charge of the elephants in the elephant garden, and there were twenty elephants here."
"Let your men lead the way and take control of the elephant park." Ye Wuya did not hesitate: "How many sergeants are there in the Elephant Garden?" ”
"Fifty people to take care of ......"
"I'll give you fifty people, and you must control the elephant garden." Ye Wuya had never dealt with elephant soldiers, but he had heard from the guards who arrived first that Luo Jiuhe had used artillery to bombard such a behemoth. Thinking that the projectiles of the fire gun might not be able to penetrate the thick skin of such a monster, Luo Jiuhe decided that he had to control these things in his own hands first, no matter what.
When Yu Guozhen planned his strategy, of course, he would not miss the problem of language barriers, so they were accompanied by twenty Ming people living in Hoi An, all of whom were proficient in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty and the dialect of Annam, and were half-invited and half-strong to act as interpreters. At that moment, there was an interpreter, leading fifty guards to follow Na Ruan Wenjia and hurried towards the Elephant Garden.
The rest of the people followed Ruan Fuyuan and ran directly to Ruan Fuyuan's dormitory.
