Saqi firmly felt that he should be a Ming citizen from today, and he had never had such a strong sense of belonging to the Ming Kingdom.

What agricultural tax ... What kind of county is in charge of the new policy, these are not listened to by Saqi, all he notices is the heavy new shovel on his shoulder.

After all, other things have little to do with him now.

But with the shovel in his hand, Saqi understands.

This thing can really increase food production and make yourself less tired after doing farm work.

The bullies in the village who had previously been lackeys for Toast were knocked down.

This is something that no one expected, the new Ming army found a young man in the village to be the village head, and that person heard that he had traveled overseas in the early years...

I learned a few words of Chinese that I didn't understand, but I didn't expect to rely on this advantage to become the new village chief in the village.

After a few more days, good news came from the village again.

Saqi heard that the war in the north was coming to an end, and in the future, Annam would be completely under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, if someone is willing to send their children to the county to learn Chinese, every family will not only not pay for it... There is also a stone of grain subsidy every year.

Under such conditions, many people have rushed to send their children to study in the Chinese language school opened in Annam, but just like Mongolia.

The content that can be learned in these schools is very limited, if you compare the knowledge that the Han people in the Ming Dynasty can access.

At present, the Han school in Annam is still basically in the stage of Chinese enlightenment, that is, you can only learn how to listen, speak, read and write Chinese here.

But this is already a rare thing for the poor people of Annam, so no one will express dissatisfaction with this kind of thing.

And on the other side.

That is, in the mountains and forests of northern Annam, the Tusi tribes who are entrenched here are more afraid of the arrival of the Ming army.

There is also the lineage of the nominal Quang Nam king Nguyen clan of Annam.

It is very different from what many people think of the Nguyen clan as living in a gorgeous palace.

The current Ruan clan is just a puppet of the Tusi tribe, and on weekdays, they can barely rely on nominal orthodoxy to get the same treatment as the patriarchs of the Tusi tribe.

As for what palace ... Basically, don't even think about it.

To say that the ancestors of the Ruan family are not without glory, in the Jiajing period, although they were beaten up for angering the Ming Dynasty.

But it still continued the name of the king of Quang Nam, and after being demoted from a subject country to a dependent territory, the life of the Ruan family was actually not much worse.

But then things were pretty straightforward...

The national power of the Ming Dynasty gradually declined, and the Nguyen clan, the king of Quang Nam, who was originally designated as the second rank, gradually lost control of the entire Annam.

Slowly, over time, he became a puppet of the Tusi chiefs.

"Quick! Don't pack those things anymore, our priority now should be to think about how we should escape! ”

The anxious voice of the King of Quang Nam continued to echo in the room, but no one from the Nguyen family was willing to listen to him.

And they were busy packing up the gold and silver, and at this time, Ruan Phuc Anh, the son of the king of Quang Nam, came over.

Facing the king of Quang Nam, Nguyen Quang Binh, he said, "Father... I don't think we should be so afraid of the arrival of the Ming army, but I think this is just an opportunity for us! ”

Ruan Guangping was stunned.

Then he said: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't you see the current situation clearly?" Maybe tomorrow the leaders of these Tusi tribes will lose their lives because they were attacked by the Ming army! What good results will we be able to do then. ”

Nguyen Phuc Anh knew how weak his father was.

I had to raise my voice a little and say loudly: "Father... I know what you're afraid of, but you also know that we have nothing to lose now... Even if we were able to escape, where would we go? ”

Where are you going?..

Ruan Guangping was stunned, then blushed and said, "No matter what! It's better than staying here and losing your life! ”

"Father.. What you say is true, no matter what, it is better than losing your life... But if we run away like this... We really don't have anything left! ”

In Ruan Phuc Anh's thoughts, even if the Ming Dynasty captured the entire Annam, as long as the current Ruan family did not escape.

They are still the titular kings of Annam.

In the future, it is still possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue to hand over Annan to his own jurisdiction, so that the Ruan family will not only be able to directly get rid of the shackles of the Tusi on themselves, but more importantly, they will be able to become the real king again...

And not nominally..

Ruan Quang Binh looked at his son, it was the first time he felt that his son was so strange.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Child... You've grown up, but you have to know... If we don't run away, I'm afraid these Tusi tribesmen won't let us go now. ”

Nguyen Quang Binh's words are not unreasonable.

If the Tusi are singing all the way and breaking the Ming army now, it is estimated that no one will think of him in the end, the little king of the territory canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

But now, singing all the way is indeed the army of the Ming Dynasty, and as the hereditary king canonized by the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it is not so easy to get out.

"Father... You didn't find out since last night.. Is the neighborhood already a lot quieter? This means that there must be quite a few people who have already run away... As long as we are cautious, hide for a while, and wait for the army of the Ming Dynasty..."

Nguyen Phuc Anh's idea is a bit simple, but this is also a temptation that is difficult for Nguyen Quang Binh, the king of Quang Nam, to refuse, and he knows better than anyone else...

As long as the Ming army comes, as long as it is not the opportunity to cut itself with a knife.

Then he will have the opportunity to continue to be the king of Quang Nam for the Ming Dynasty, and then Annan will return to his own hands and return to the hands of the Ruan family.

"That.. Then it is up to you, and the father will send someone to investigate, if there is no too tricky trouble... We will stay here and wait for the Ming army. ”

"Good! But..."

Ruan Phuc Anh continued to speak: "Father... In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the son feels that the family should continue to move the women and children to avoid suspicion."

"This? Isn't that a joke with their lives? I disagree! ”

"Father!"

Ruan Fuying had tears in his eyes, and this was not his relatives.

But he understood that those who have achieved great things since ancient times should be informal, so he had to kneel on the ground and beg bitterly...

Nguyen Quang Binh knew he had no other choice.

After a while... He nodded slowly.
