Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 504 Guilin and Kunming

On the Japanese side, the Beiyang Fleet was controlling the situation, and the allied forces retreated to the vicinity of Nagoya, Osaka, and Kyoto, while the shogunate controlled the Kanto region such as Musashi, Echigo, and Dewa.Zheng Zhilong was still stationed outside Edo before sending out a team of instructors to help the shogunate train a new army capable of fighting the Kansai army.

On the other side, Xiong Wencan, Shen Youlong and others arrived in Guangzhou Mansion after a period of sailing.Together with Xiong Wencan and Shen Youlong, there is also a batch of exported arms to support the Ruan family in An Nanguo.This batch of munitions is also castrated 1777 rifles, and the artillery is at the level of the Franc machine artillery of this era, and there is also a huge generation gap with the guns and artillery used by the main force of the Kyushu Army.

"Brother, you're finally back. This time I've been waiting for a while." Deng Qianlong, the captain of the Nanyang Fleet, saw Xiong Wencan at the Guangzhou Mansion Wharf and strode to give him a bear hug.

"Why are you again..." Xiong Wencan saw Deng Qianlong with a sad face.

Since Deng Qianlong was forcibly stationed in Guangzhou Mansion, he has been bullying Xiong Wencan, who is much older than him, which has caused Xiong Wencan to fall into a psychological shadow.

"This is?" Shen Youlong knew Deng Qianlong, but he noticed a man dressed in Nanyang beside Deng Qianlong.

"Ruan Youyi from the Ruan family in An Nanguo came to ask us for help on behalf of Lord Ruan." Deng Qianlong introduced Shen Youlong.

"Oh, this matter was handled by Brother Wen Can, the Civil Affairs Officer of Guangdong and Guangxi, and I, a Yunnan chief envoy, will not intervene much." Shen Youlong knew that it was Xiong Wencan's duty to support the Ruan family against the strongest Lord Zheng in An Nanguo scope.

"This is Mr. Xiong Wencan, who is temporarily serving as the Civil Affairs Officer of Guangdong and Guangxi. He will be in charge of negotiating with you in the future. Logically speaking, I am a soldier of the Navy Department and should not interfere in government affairs. It's just that Mr. Xiong went to southern Liaoning some time ago. To inspect, that's why I was ordered in the face of danger." Deng Qianlong threw the burden on Xiong Wencan with all his strength.

In the Kyushu Army, except for Chu Yun who is the military leader and the first ruler who also controls the highest military and political power, the other officers of the Kyushu Army only have military power but no power to touch government affairs, and they often transfer posts and change defense areas.Soldiers' contact with government affairs is a taboo for the Kyushu Army.Once an officer has exceeded his authority, he will be warned by the secret intelligence service.

Unless the civil affairs chief is absent, Deng Qianlong's temporary takeover and reporting behavior can be avoided from being held accountable.Of course, after Xiong Wencan came back, Deng Qianlong would tell Xiong Wencan to handle this matter as soon as possible.

"I have met Mr. Xiong. Our Ruan family is sincerely cooperating with the suzerain country. I hope Mr. Xiong can uphold justice and save our Annan country Ruan's family from suffering." Ruan Youyi hurriedly flattered Xiong Wencan invisibly.

For Xiong Wencan, the old fox who has lived in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty until now, Ruan Youyi's words did not move him, he just followed Chu Yun's instructions to push the boat along.

"Your envoy is welcome. In the future, our Kyushu Army and the Ruan family will cooperate sincerely, and we will surely defeat the Zheng family's ambition to dominate." Xiong Wencan comforted Ruan Youyi.

"That's really grateful to Mr. Xiong! If our Lord Ruan knew that the Kingdom of Heaven is so concerned about our affairs, we would definitely be grateful. Yes, are the firearms that the Lord of your country is willing to sell us all on those ships? ?" Ruan Youyi looked at the cargo ship moored at the port of Guangzhou Prefecture with glowing eyes.Some cargo ships are heavily guarded, and are painted with fireproof candles, which can be seen as black powder, which is flammable and explosive.

"Your envoy, don't worry, as long as Lord Zheng can't destroy your southern country within three months, our Nine Provinces Army will ensure that you are safe and sound." Xiong Wencan patted Ruan Youyi on the shoulder.

When Shen Youlong was talking with Xiong Wencan and Ruan Youyi, he asked Deng Qianlong about Changyi, the commander of the Sixth Corps stationed in Guangzhou: "General Deng, why isn't General Changyi here?"

Among the several major army regiments of the Kyushu Army, the Sixth Corps has always been relatively low-key. As Changyi, who grew up with Chu Yun, he has no sense of existence. He is just silently carrying out military operations according to Chu Yun's plan. After several years of experience, it can be regarded as Become a unique general.It is precisely this kind of calm style that Chu Yun still approves of Changyi, so he will temporarily hand over the independent corps that will use troops against An Nanguo to command Changyi.

"That boy Changyi rushed to Guilin City long after the military leader decided to set up an independent corps, saying that he wanted to find a good camp." Deng Qianlong said.

He and Changyi are almost the same group of officers who grew up, so they call Changyi very casually.

"I plan to go to Guilin City with him, and then go to Kunming from Guilin. I didn't expect him to leave early. It seems that I will get up this morning and go to the chief secretary of Yunnan to take up his post earlier." Shen Youlong saw Changyi went to Guilin City and said with a sigh.

"Master Shen should take a rest in Guangzhou Mansion first. You are different from Changyi. He panics at leisure, and feels uncomfortable when he is not fighting. He can't wait to make trouble soon." Deng Qianlong said.

"So the Independent Corps is going to establish its headquarters in Guilin City?"

Shen Youlong thought about it, and the Independent Corps can be said to be the largest single-organized unit since the establishment of the Kyushu Army, with as many as 3 people.Where these 3 people are stationed shows that where is the key direction of attacking An Nanguo, and it will even affect the status of the Chief Secretary of Guangxi and the Chief Secretary of Yunnan.However, Shen Youlong is the Chief Envoy of Yunnan, and the Independent Corps focuses on the Chief Secretary of Guangxi, which is equivalent to getting closer to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Xiong Wencan.

"It should be, but the independent corps is huge, and it may be divided into two parts. One part of the main force will be placed in Guilin City, and the other part will be placed in Kunming City." Deng Qianlong said, "This will mobilize the resources of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and two lakes. Build a mighty army."

"Well, it should be so. If that's the case, I will immediately get up and go to the Chief Secretary of Yunnan to unite with the local chieftain as soon as possible, recruit local soldiers, and dredge supplies." Shen Youlong said.

"The Guangzhou government will send troops to escort the adults to the Chief Secretary of Yunnan. Since the Guilin War, the local chieftains are more talkative." Deng Qianlong said.

"General Lao Deng is here!" Shen Youlong said gratefully.

"Brother Shen, do you really want to leave immediately? Why don't you stay in Guangzhou for a while?" Xiong Wencan asked eagerly when he heard that Shen Youlong was in a hurry to go to the Chief Secretary of Yunnan.

"It's a matter of the country, and we can't delay it for a moment." Shen Youlong said.

"I'm going to Yunnan. The mountains are high and the road is far away. Please take care of me, brother. We will meet again in the future. I hope that the situation in Annan Kingdom will be peaceful." Xiong Wencan cupped his hands to Shen Youlong.
