Chapter 277: Compromise
"Wang, it's not that the ministers are cowardly, but because of the dispatch of troops to Jiading, for Guangnan, the gains really outweigh the losses." Ruan Youjing saw that Ruan Fu, who had already had pale temples, showed a disappointed look, and hurriedly changed his words.
"Why?" Ruan Phuc asked softly.
"Now the Nanyang Ming court is powerful, even the Spaniards are avoiding Manila, dare not send troops to the north, and the Luzon Ming court attaches great importance to Jiading, Qin Guogong Xiao Wu personally led the water division town to sit in the town, although there is Huang Jin rebellion first, but according to Huang Jin's troops to be wiped out by the Ming army is only a matter of time, and once the Luzon Ming court learns the news of Huang Jin's rebellion, it is bound to send heavy troops to Jiading, if we wait for Jiading at this time, I am afraid that the war will affect Guangnan." Ruan Youjing was also a loyal minister, well aware of the gap between the Quang Nam army and the Ming army, and did not shy away from telling Nguyen Phuc that if war broke out, Quang Nam would be defeated.
"So, I, Guangnan, want to sit back and wait for the Ming army to plot against my Annan land?" Ruan Phuc was on the verge of seeing this, and said angrily.
"Father, in fact, General Ruan is right, and now the Ming court is powerful and has occupied Jiading, which is the division of tigers and wolves, if Guangnan sends troops, I am afraid that the victory or defeat will be unpredictable." Ruan Fuqin also hurriedly agreed.
"And father, I don't think that the Ming Court is provoking me Guangnan." Nguyen Phuc Qin said.
"If the Ming court really wants to be an enemy of Quang Nam and plot against my land of Annam?"
"Then the Ming sailors stationed in the Jiading area have already gone north to Hoi An Port, but according to the report of the sailors in the area of Zhancheng, the Ming army sailors have been standing still in Haikou, and the Ming army has not crossed half a step on the border between Jiading and Zhenla these days, it is not like there is a intention to go north." Ruan Fuqin hurriedly explained to his father.
"Yes, Wang, if the Ming court really wants to provoke me in Quang Nam, then why did the Ming court send Chinese merchants to Hue repeatedly to ask for trade, and the Ming court sent envoys this time, and we also see its sincerity." Ruan Youjing can be regarded as a person who knows the Ming people better among the ministers of Guangnan, and this time Ruan Youjing did not feel hostility among the envoys of the Ming Court, but felt that the Ming Court was a little eager to shake hands with Guangnan and make peace.
"Wang, in fact, there is a sentence that the minister does not know whether to say or not." Ruan Youjing looked at Ruan Fuwei and said in a low voice.
"Say." Ruan Phuc's face was no longer as gloomy as before.
"For Quang Nam, the problem is still in the north and in the south." Ruan Youjing said tentatively.
Ruan Fu was stunned for a moment, and then his face became more and more solemn.
Why did Quang Nam try to occupy the land south of Champong, including Champa and Chenla, a large area of southern domain.
The reason is nothing more than that the Zheng lord in the north is powerful, and the power of Quang Nam is small, so he has to look to the south as a last resort, trying to expand his strength by annexing the southern Zhancheng and Zhenla land.
But now Quang Nam has met the Ming Court, a competitor.
Ruan Youjing means that Ruan Fuwei also understands.
The contradiction between Guangnan and the Ming court is at best a question of the ownership of Jiading, but the threat of Zheng Zhu in the north is really a matter of Guangnan's safety.
Nguyen Phuc gradually calmed down, although the Zheng army in the north was defeated by Quang Nam several times in the south in recent years, but Quang Nam's disadvantage in strength and manpower has not been improved.
If you want to take the period of the Three Kingdoms of China as an example, Guangnan is the state of Wu, and the lord of Zheng in the north is the state of Wei, but this state of Wei is still eyeing the tiger and launching large-scale wars several times.
"It's me who is abrupt." Ruan Phuc took a deep breath and said softly.
"Father, the Ming court and Guangnan do not have a deep hatred, this Jiading is the land of Zhenla, my father gave the remnants of the Ming people, it has long been a good talk, and now the Ming court appeases Jiading, Guangnan can also push the boat down the river, recognize the Ming court's control of the Jiading area, in exchange for the Ming court's commitment to never invade Zhenla, occupy the city." Nguyen Phuc Qin said.
In Liu Yu's letter to Ruan Fuwei, Liu Yu also promised that as long as the Ming court and Quang Nam made peace and trade, the Ming court could take Quang Nam as the boundary and never invade the land of Annam in the north.
However, Ruan Phuc Wei had already regarded Jiading as something in his pocket, and saw that the Ming court not only did not withdraw its troops, but also wanted to occupy Jiading and Quang Nam to occupy the city as the boundary, which angered Ruan Phuc Wei.
However, now that the anger of Ruan Fuwei has disappeared, he thinks about it carefully, and it seems that he has angered the Ming court for the sake of Jiading, making Quang Nam and the north and south of the enemy really outweigh the losses.
"Then according to your opinion, Guangnan must reach an agreement with the Ming court." Ruan Phuc said coldly.
Ruan Youjing and Ruan Fuqin glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In fact, shaking hands with the Ming court, and even trading with the Ming court, will have more advantages than disadvantages for Guangnan." Ruan Phuc Qin said.
"Father, now the merchants of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are all over Nanyang, and many Chinese businessmen are also trading in my Guangnan, and the taxes brought every year are considerable, if it is trade with the Ming Court, then the goods of my Guangnan can also be sold to all parts of Nanyang, and its financial resources can be described as endless, just to make up for the dilemma of the empty treasury of my Guangnan."
Ruan Fuqin looked at Ruan Fuqin and saw that he was not discolored, and then said.
"And the Ming people are good at firearms, their firearms are no less sharp than the Spanish, English, the previous Ming court envoy also mentioned in the palace that you can export firearms to Guangnan, the price is lower than the price of the Spaniards, we might as well trade with the Ming court, with the Ming merchants' taxes in exchange for the Ming Dynasty's firearms, so as to arm the Guangnan army."
After listening to Ruan Fuqin's words, Ruan Fuqin couldn't help but nod.
In recent years, because of the war with the north, Quang Nam had to purchase a large number of firearms from the Nanyang red-haired ghosts.
But these Spaniards, the English are very shrewd, and after learning about the current confrontation between the north and the south in Annan, they also sat on the ground and raised the price.
If you don't buy my firearms, then I'll sell them to Lord Zheng in the north, and vice versa.
Although the forces of the Nanyang red-haired ghosts are different, they are surprisingly consistent on this point, and the angry Guangnan ministers gritted their teeth.
If the Ming people are willing to sell Quang Nam firearms, it will be a good thing for Quang Nam.
"Can trade with the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, the final beneficiary is still the Ming Court, and now the Ming Court is already a wolf of wealth, now I will stop talking to the Ming Dynasty, trade with the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid of attracting wolves into the room!" Nguyen Phuc Bin's expression was complicated, and it was a little difficult to choose.
"Father, although the Ming court occupies Jiading, but the people of Jiading have not yet returned to the Ming court, Huang Jin's rebellion is an example, the Ming people want to take Jiading as their own It will take time, we can make peace with the Ming court on the one hand, trade, and on the other hand, we can fund Zhenla, Jiading is the homeland of Zhenla, my father can provoke the dispute between Zhenla and the Ming people in Jiading, so that the Ming court suffers from the struggle with Zhenla and is unable to look north." Nguyen Phuc Qin said.
Outside the palace, Su Langqing and his entourage walked to the post station under the escort of the soldiers.
Wang Li followed with a sad face, "You are too anxious, now it's okay, Ruan is angry, now I don't know if I can return to Luzon alive." ”
