Chapter 191: Ruan Youjing
This person was dressed quite differently from the generals present, similar to the military attire of the Ming people.
"Lord Ruan, the army of Zhenla has been at war with the Ming people, I wonder if Quang Nam will send reinforcements." Hidden Frog Wu is extremely respectful to this person, and even commensurate with an adult.
"Dongpu was originally the territory of Chenla, and these Ming people who should be killed occupied the land of Chenla, and Quang Nam naturally felt humiliated by Zhenla, so I waited until I arrived here from Hue, just to assist the general." Ruan Youjing said with a smile.
The Zhenla generals present looked at the Guangnan people in front of them with disdain.
If it weren't for you, the Lord of Quang Nam Nguyen, who took in these Ming people and let them go south.
Now, will there be so many Ming people in Dongpu and other water realms?
"Bring it on." Ruan Youjing didn't care about the attitude of the generals present, and gave an order.
A Ming man was brought into the big tent by the soldiers.
"This person's clothing and weapons are different from those of the Ming people in the Shui Zhenla area, and it must be the reinforcements invited from Luzon by the Ming people from Dongpu." Ruan Youjing stepped forward and grabbed the young man's hair, and the face stained with blood and sludge was impressively reflected in front of Ruan Youjing.
"Hmph, a few scouts actually followed my Zhenla King Army and killed so many of my subordinates." Hidden Wu looked at the Ming people in front of him and said coldly.
Zhao Shen knelt on the ground, his hair was dragged by Ruan Youjing, and he looked at the person in front of him indifferently.
After all, he was still careless, he thought that after discovering the camp tent of Zhenla, he would be able to retreat with his whole body, who would have thought that people would be so vigilant.
It seems that he can't use the experience of dealing with pirates to deal with this group of people, but he has suffered his three brothers.
"This person is a spy sent to Dongpu by the Ming Court of Luzon." He pulled Zhao Shen's face and said to the Zhenla general present.
"The Ming people of Dongpu want to enshrine the Shui Zhenla Qianli Fertile Field to the Ming court in Luzon, and you say that the Ming people of Dongpu should not be killed." Ruan Youjing said indignantly.
"Damn it." The generals present glared angrily.
Shui Zhenla was originally the land of Zhenla, and these Ming people, as outsiders, occupied this land, not to mention, they even wanted to give this land to the Ming court in Luzon, which was tolerable, which was unbearable.
"Pull it down and hang it in front of the tent, and let the mosquitoes serve him well."
Ruan Youjing did not ask Zhao Shenming in the big tent whether he would send troops to Dongpu.
Neither he nor Hidden Guards wanted to disturb the morale of the army at this time.
This is also the reason why Hidden Frog Wu wanted to kill Dahn, not because Dahn escaped from the battle and fled back to the army garrison with the remnants, but because he fought with the Ming caravan and lost to the Ming merchant guards.
Shui Zhenla's Ming army definitely did not have such sharp firearms, this point can be determined by the hidden Wu and Ruan Youjing, otherwise the Ruan lord would not have let them go to Dongpu, but Dahn was indeed defeated by the firearms carried by the guards in the Ming caravan, then these Ming merchant guards must be the Ming army of Luzon, and the firearms they carried would never be weaker than the Spaniards in Nanyang.
Therefore, the hidden Wu must Daen keep his mouth shut, if the generals present really know that the Ming people have such a fierce firearm, I am afraid that many generals will retreat.
After all, this time the troops were dispatched, and the hidden ones did not agree.
Don't look at the fact that the Hidden Nen was manipulated by the Lord of Quang Nam Nguyen, but the current Hidden Nen has not yet reached the point of dying old age, although the fighting spirit of the once rebellious has been almost wiped out, but for the main intention of the Quang Nam Nguyen, although the Hidden Nen did not refuse like the Hidden Nguyen, but there is no intention of sending troops.
This time, Zhenla's troops were completely instigated by the nobleman of Hidden Grass, and several local generals of Zhenla coveted the fertile soil of Dongpu, so they sent troops to Dongpu.
Of course, the fact that Hidden Frog Wu and the Zhenla generals present dared to do this behind their backs was also because they were secretly instructed by Quang Nam, such as Ruan Youjing, who personally went to Dongpu to supervise the battle.
"Lord Ruan, the soldiers of the firewood stick have entered Dongpu, but it is the rainy season, it is rainy, if you want to escort the grain and grass from the firewood stick, the roads along the way are muddy and difficult to pass, the grain and grass may not arrive on time, if there is not enough money and food, I am afraid that the army will be difficult to continue." A quartermaster in charge of logistics was grim.
In order to maintain the supply of food and grass for more than 1,000 soldiers, all his manpower and animal power have been drained.
Now there are more than 1,000 soldiers from firewood sticks, where is the money? What about the grain?
You must know that it is still the rainy season, and it is impossible to transport grain from firewood.
"It doesn't matter." Ruan Youjing shook his head and said with a smile.
"Dongpu fertile field for thousands of miles, the Ming people here open up wasteland and farm, cultivate for several years, the soldiers can collect rations in the local Ming villages nearby, plus the rainy season is after the summer harvest, and the local Ming people can arrange people to carry out the summer harvest after the rainy season." Ruan Youjing smiled and glanced at the quartermaster with contempt.
The local Zhenla people are really rigid enough, how can there be no food where there are people?
Money and food don't have to be transported from the rear sticks.
Wouldn't it be enough to collect it directly from the local Mingren village community?
The generals present also nodded in agreement.
"Although it is the rainy season now, it is not easy for the troops to march, and it is even more difficult to transport grain and grass supplies, but this is not the case with the Dongpu Ming people."
"Now Mei Di and Ha Xian have long known that the Zhenla army is stationed in Dongpu, but it is the rainy season, if the army gathers into Dongpu, it must be extremely difficult, Ha Xian must not move, and Mei Di Ming people are blocked by the muddy roads in the rainy season, if you want to enter Dongpu, it will take half a month more, and we will only need half a month to take Nongnai." Ruan Youjing analyzed.
This time, using the rainy season to cover the attack on Dongpu happened to be Ruan Youjing's strategy.
The rainy season has a great impact on the Zhenla army, but it is not for the Ming people in the area of Shuizhenla.
As early as half a month before the rainy season came, he had already led more than 1,000 soldiers into Dongpu, and at this time the rainy season was coming, if Yang Yandi, who had learned the news, wanted to gather troops to come, not to mention that the official road was destroyed by the flash flood, how long would it take for thousands of soldiers to march from Meidi to Dongpu, coupled with the muddy roads along the way and the rain was continuous, the soldiers along the way would inevitably complain, and even mutinied.
If the Ming army of Meidi arrived, it would be just right to surround the point and send reinforcements, and the soldiers who were waiting for work would definitely be able to defeat the exhausted Ming army, which had already been tormented by muddy roads and drizzle on the march day and night.
If the Ming people of Mi Di and Ha Xian do not come, then they can also encourage the Zhenla soldiers to attack Nongnai directly.
If Zhenla can destroy the Dongpu Ming people, it is best, if the Dongpu Ming people can't be destroyed, then the vitality of the two families will be greatly damaged, then Guangnan will stand up at the right time to appease.
At that time, the Jinla and Dongpu Mingren, who had lost their troops, were bound to surrender to the foot of Quang Nam.
The two families of Zhenla and Dongpu will still be in the hands of Lord Ruan.
Thinking of this, looking at the Zhenla generals who were discussing the attack on Nongnai City in the big tent, Ruan Youjing couldn't help but grin.
