Chongzhen Chat Group

After the celebration, those who were ready to send troops immediately prepared to send troops, while those responsible for staying behind arranged to stay behind. Of course, they also had to fly back with news.

Far in the north of Annam, the Ruan Shi and Portuguese troops landed from the sea. They raided the Zheng family's troops defending on land and attacked them from the front and back with the troops advancing north. They had just won a great victory and attacked by both land and water. The armies were able to join forces victoriously.

The coalition's military camps are endless and the number of people is really rare in Annan. In the Chinese army camp, Ruan Lord Ruan Fuyuan and Portuguese Governor George were having a banquet and celebrating with a group of their generals. Their generals would raise their glasses to invite him to drink from time to time.

"Your Highness, now there is only one Shenglong Mansion left in front of us. As long as Shenglong Mansion is captured again, Annan will be your Highness's. I will congratulate Your Highness at the end of the day. I'll do it first out of respect!"

"Zheng's corpse is lying bare, and his army is vulnerable. Annan is your Highness's Annan! I congratulate Your Highness!"

"..."

After drinking too much, some generals spread the topic and got a little carried away.

"We haven't seen reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Maybe we know how powerful the Folang machine gun is, so we are afraid, right? Haha..."

"That's right, the Ming Dynasty seems to have only sent a governor. Without troops and horses, how can it be possible to scare our coalition forces with just an old man?"

"Yes, I really thought that in the past, sending an envoy over could mediate the war between the two sides. They didn't even think about it, but now that we have allies of Franji, we can still be afraid that they will fail to succeed in the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

Listening to the words of these drunken generals, many Flemish people felt proud. When they got interested, they caught these people and toasted them. It seemed that they appreciated each other very much. Of course, there are also some more mature and prudent people who use other analysis:

"This is because Zheng Thief is useless and completely vulnerable. I guess even the Ming Dynasty could not have imagined that Zheng Thief would be defeated so quickly!"

"Yes, who would have thought that Thief Zheng is so vulnerable. If he had known this, His Highness should have sent troops earlier, and he would have unified the entire Annan earlier!"

"..."

There were two people sitting on the main seat, naturally Ruan Fuyuan and George. They accepted the toasts from the generals below and listened to their words with smiles on their faces.

However, Ruan Fuyuan himself knew that the reason why the war went so smoothly was actually because he had burned everything. All the manpower and material resources had been used, and he even bribed and used Lord Zheng's people at all costs to recruit people who had been lurking in the north. All these internal responses, plus the direct dispatch of troops by the Folangji people, were able to reach Shenglong Mansion so quickly.

Not to mention that Zheng did not expect the scale of such an offensive, Ming Guo did not expect it, and even Ruan Fuyuan himself would never have thought of it before this. Because in launching such a war, either you will die or I will die, there is no other possibility!

But so far, everything has gone smoothly, even smoother than expected. This makes Ruan Fuyuan as happy as these generals!

The chieftain in Yunnan had rebelled and could successfully attract the attention of the Ming court. And this was one of the reasons why the Ming Dynasty was unable to respond to Annan. He created this all by himself, but there was no need for his subordinates to know.

Now there is only the final decisive battle of Shenglong Mansion. If everything goes well on the Yunnan side, Shenglong Mansion can be captured quickly by a pincer attack from the east and west. In this way, and with his follow-up arrangements, even if the Ming Dynasty reacts again, he will have enough bargaining chips to exchange for Annan's actual status!

While he was thinking, he couldn't help but become a little distracted. The maid next to him reminded him a little, and then he realized that George, the Governor of Francois, was raising a glass to him with a smile on his face.

Seeing this situation, Ruan Fuyuan did not dare to be negligent and quickly raised his glass to respond.

"How about it, Your Highness, you listened to me, right?" George said with a smile, "With the support of my Flemish people, this Annan will soon be yours, Your Highness! Come on, cheers!"

Hearing this, Ruan Fuyuan responded with a grateful face: "As long as Gu takes Annan and is recognized by the Ming Dynasty as planned, Gu's promise to you will never change! I, Annan and Fo Langji, will work for you." A country that has been friendly for generations!”

George couldn't help laughing after hearing this. In this way, even if Fo Langji no longer has a fleet stationed in the Ming Dynasty, it will have no worries with Annan here. And, more importantly, if this happens, Annan's status will become more important. At least his status as the governor will be much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty governor. He will also have more credit for the Ming Dynasty's trade.

And all of this was due to his own persuasion in the country, which finally led to the current situation. It seems that one thing is right, everything needs to be fought for. Without fighting for it, there will be no current situation.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but clink glasses with Ruan Fuyuan again. When it comes to drinking capacity, neither Ruan Fuyuan is his match.

One thing, George was actually right. After the Qing Dynasty occupied the land of China, they implemented a policy of seclusion, which greatly affected the trade in Macau. Therefore, Annan became the most important trade point for China and Japan. However, history has changed, and George's plan can no longer work. Everything must be decided by the powerful Ming Dynasty!

No, they were celebrating when suddenly a guard broke in outside the tent and reported that a messenger from Folangji had arrived. This made the people in the Chinese military tent a little curious, wondering what the messenger of Fo Langji was doing at this time?

Ruan Fuyuan naturally did not dare to delay and quickly let the messenger in. What George didn't expect was that the messenger who came in was none other than the governor of Ming Dynasty, Shi Weila. As soon as he saw it, he had a bad feeling. Because if there was nothing particularly important, it would be impossible for Shivella to leave the Ming Dynasty. And this can be seen from Shivera's somewhat ugly face.

As soon as his identity was introduced, Ruan Fuyuan was also surprised and quickly raised the standard of the interview. However, Schweira was not cold at all, and instead murmured with George in their own language. Then, Ruan Fuyuan, who was a little worried, saw George's expression change drastically. It was obvious that something bad had happened.

Sure enough, after a while, George whispered a few words to him. However, Ruan Fuyuan could still keep his composure and ordered others to continue celebrating, while he himself moved into the back tent with the two Governors of Fo Langji.

After entering the back tent, Ruan Fuyuan asked with a worried look on his face: "What's going on? Is this happening?"

He really didn't expect that the Folangji people would dare to turn against the Ming Kingdom directly. Not only did they kill a large number of Ming Kingdom soldiers and civilians, they even plundered the Ming Kingdom's people. How the Ming Dynasty would react really worried him!

George's face also looked very ugly, as did Schweira's. Neither of them paid any attention to Ruan Fuyuan, and they just had a quick conversation in their own language. George's translator looked embarrassed and did not translate, which made Ruan Fuyuan very worried.

He knew from the words and looks of the two Governor Franji that they were quarreling!

After a while, Shiweila seemed to be very angry. He pointed at George and muttered a few times. Without reacting, everyone knew that these words were nothing more than scolding and harsh words. Then, he He turned around and left without even saying hello to Ruan Fuyuan.

George didn't stop him. After being silent for a while, he said to Ruan Fuyuan through a translator: "Shiweila couldn't control his men and completely made things over in the Ming Dynasty completely deadlocked. He said that according to the Ming Dynasty's Zhejiang Province The temper of the governor of the three provinces of Fujian and Guangdong will definitely not give up! This matter is his responsibility and he must be responsible for it himself. We cannot let him stay here in Annan, I have already asked him to leave."

In fact, Schweira came over and argued with him just now. He believed that George was responsible for this incident. He suffered this unreasonable disaster and asked George to take responsibility and apologize to the local people. It was obvious that George would not agree to this matter, so they quarreled and eventually broke up.

After listening to George's side of the story, Ruan Fuyuan was a little worried. Annan was about to swallow it as planned, but this unexpected thing suddenly happened, and he couldn't estimate the impact it would have on subsequent plans. In this North-South war, failure would be the consequence for Cheng Ren, and he couldn't bear it.

As if seeing his worries, George immediately emphasized: "As I said before, the battle of Shenglong Mansion must be ended as soon as possible. And the Zheng family cannot be allowed to escape. The deal is already done, and with those few We have shown a sufficiently low profile regarding personal heads, and I believe we can still get through this!"

Seeing that Ruan Fuyuan seemed a little worried, George added: "I will report the Shiweila matter to the superior. He must be responsible for this matter, and it must not affect Annan. On this point, Your Highness Don’t worry. What we have to do now is to end the war as soon as possible before the Ming Dynasty sends troops to intervene!"

After Ruan Fuyuan heard this, he had no other choice. After asking George some more questions, he understood that he had to do what George said.

So, soon, the banquet ended. Ruan Fuyuan passed down the decree and gave a heavy reward. He even did not hesitate to gather as many troops as possible from the rear and use all the available troops to truly surround Thang Long Mansion and seal it with water. He vowed to annihilate the Zheng family and prevent him from escaping.

However, there was one thing that Ruan Fuyuan and George did not expect. Although they had received intelligence that the Zheng family had mobilized troops from other places to protect Shenglong Mansion, who knew that the Zheng family was really afraid of death, to the point of not caring about other places and allocating all the troops that could fight? When I arrived at Thang Long Mansion, I ignored other places.

As a result, the coalition forces of Ruan Fuyuan and Portugal were unable to achieve the strategic goal of a true encirclement. In fact, Zheng's army was larger than the coalition forces of Ruan Fuyuan and Portugal.

Faced with this situation, Ruan Fuyuan and George's faces were not very good-looking. At this time, they were not afraid that they would not be able to capture Shenglong Mansion, but that if it took too long, the Ming Congress would send troops to intervene. If there is any deviation from the plan, they will be very passive.

On the top of the city of Shenglong Mansion, Mrs. Zheng stood on the archery tower. Facing the people in front of the army outside the city, she shouted sternly: "The traitors and traitors colluded with Fo Langji and the people, and the heaven was furious. Even if Annan was succeeded by you for a moment, it would still be a disaster." Don’t think it will last long!”

"I'll take off your head first, and you won't have to worry about anything else in the future!" Ruan Fuyuan showed no sign of weakness and responded loudly.

Zheng sneered and shouted again: "It's just up to you. It doesn't matter who has more troops. If you have the ability, let's see whether you, a treacherous minister and traitor, captures Shenglong Mansion first or the Chinese army reaches Annan first!"

…

After a scolding, the two sides fought. Zheng's army was not only inside the city, but also under the city. After a great battle, especially under the muskets and artillery fire of the Folangji people, Zheng's army retreated from the city, but not many men and horses were lost.

Zheng, who was watching the battle on the top of the city, couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. He was victorious and returned to the palace proudly; but Ruan Fuyuan outside the city had a gloomy look on his face, and he was defeated even though he was undefeated. When George saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the enemy's troops were too many! I really regret it. I should have asked Shivella to leave his men behind, so that we could have more troops!"

Having said this, he looked at Ruan Fuyuan again and asked with a little anxiety: "Why hasn't there been a reply to the messenger sent by His Highness? For such an important matter, we should have sent someone who can speak well!"

Ruan Fuyuan frowned after hearing this. In fact, there was no need for George to say anything about this. For such a major matter, he naturally sent the most capable people. But he also knew that whether the Yunnan side was successful or not, whether he got what he wanted or not, still depended on the situation in Yunnan. It didn't mean just sending capable people there.

Having no other choice, Ruan Fuyuan attacked Thang Long Mansion at all costs in order to buy time. Although there was some progress, his men also suffered a lot of losses.

However, just when he was angry that he had lost his troops but could not capture Thang Long Palace, a messenger came quickly to report that the Shapu Chieftain's coalition forces, totaling more than 8,000 people, had moved down the river and would arrive in Thang Long soon. Mansion.

This good news immediately made Ruan Fuyuan and George overjoyed. With the addition of more than 8,000 troops, Zheng's army no longer had the numerical advantage. With the support of Fo Langji's artillery and artillery, it was possible to capture Thang Long Palace.

For this reason, Ruan Fuyuan and George did not hesitate to travel ten miles to welcome the Shapu Chieftain coalition from the source to Thang Long Palace.

However, they never expected that there would be another small team that they could not imagine coming with the Shapu Chieftain coalition. There were only about twenty people hanging on the army from a distance, just observing the situation with binoculars.

At the same time, Tang Jiajia, who was in Yunnan, also received news that two chieftains in the north of Kunming had rebelled and were likely to kill Kunming.

"Hahaha..." Tang Jiabin was hiding in his mansion and was very happy. "In this way, Amizhou will have no worries! Even if Zhu Xieyuan can gather the troops, it is impossible to use troops against Amizhou immediately. Wait until it is pacified. If the rebellion of the northern chieftains ends, I am afraid that a major event in Annan will be decided!"
