Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 514 Refuge
"Nizi, Nizi!" Ruan Lord Ruan Fuyuan kept cursing on the carriage, brooding over Ruan Fu's rebellion.

The former hero is now gray-haired, repeating words like a nagging old man.

"My lord, we have arrived at the port of Hoi An. The catastrophe has already happened. What we should think about is how to turn the tide and punish the traitors." The captain of the guard said to Ruan Fuyuan through the curtain of the carriage.

Ruan Fuyuan's eyes were cloudy, he was in a daze, and did not answer the captain of the guard.

The news that Ruan Fuyuan escaped to Hoi An Port quickly spread, causing a great sensation in the Ruan family's sphere of influence, and the people were in chaos for a while.Officials of the shipping company that manages Hoi An Port immediately went to Hoi An Port to meet Nguyen Phuc Yuan on the pipeline.Ruan Luo, the caijian, led more than a hundred officials and soldiers to kneel beside the road.

A guard team with only a hundred people left protects Ruan Fuyuan when he arrives.There were originally 300 elite guards, but more than half of them were lost in the pursuit of Nguyen Phuc Tin's rebels, and many of them died for the rear.

"My lord, be careful." The captain of the guard helped the elderly Ruan Fuyuan out of the carriage.

When Ruan Fuyuan saw the prosperous Hoi An Port and thought about the destruction of the equally prosperous Fuchun City, he couldn't help crying.

"The lord Ruan Luo pays homage to the lord. Please rest assured to stay in Hoi An Port. After hearing that the lord is safe and sound, the officers, soldiers and rebels from all over the country will definitely gather in Angang to fight against the rebels. Even if things go wrong, we will You can take a large ship to take refuge at sea." Ruan Luo fell down in front of Ruan Fuyuan respectfully.

"Get up. That Nizi still doesn't dare to chase here." Ruan Fuyuan came back to his senses and said.

"Yes." Ruan Luo cautiously followed Ruan Fuyuan.

"How many people are there in Hoi An Port?" Ruan Fuyuan asked.

"Hundreds of handymen are more than enough to manage the security of Hoi An Port at ordinary times, but if they go to the battlefield, it may be difficult." Ruan Luo said.

Hoi An Port is located in the hinterland of the Ruan family's sphere of influence, and it is really peaceful at ordinary times. If you want these local government servants to fight...

Ruan Fuyuan looked a little disappointed: "Nizi lacks ability, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But I am most afraid that he will be used by the Zheng family, leading to the complete collapse of the defense line of Changde Base. We should take back Fuchun City as soon as possible."

"Although the officers and soldiers of our company can't help the Lord take back Fuchun City, an unexpected visitor has come to our Hoi An Port in the past two days-the Kyushu Army of the Celestial Dynasty has sent a fleet to arrive, and there is also a fleet bought by Master Ruan Youyi from the Celestial Dynasty. A batch of firearms." Said Ruan Luo.

"Ruan Youyi is finally back?" Ruan Fuyuan's cloudy eyes had a bright light.

At first, I thought I was in a desperate situation, but now it seems that it is a desperate situation. Once the Kyushu Army fleet arrives, which is equivalent to the firearms needed for combat, and the mercenaries that are popular in Annan, it is not impossible to take back Fuchun City.

"Yes, he was taken as a hostage by the Kyushu Army, saying that we must make up the payment before we can let Lord Ruan Youyi go." Ruan Luo said.

"Does the Kyushu Army not trust our Ruan family's sincerity so much? After all, our Ruan family is one of the two most powerful forces in the Annan Kingdom. How can we break our promise in terms of trade?" Ruan Fuyuan said with some dissatisfaction.

"After all, it is a million taels of silver. They considered this astronomical amount of silver taels..." Ruan Luo said on behalf of the Kyushu Army.

"You go and let them come to see me." Ruan Fuyuan heard that the Kyushu Army was here, and he couldn't hold back for a long time, and wanted to find the Kyushu Army as soon as possible.

The Nanyang Fleet was moored in Hoi An Port, and most of the soldiers lived on board. Deng Qianlong landed with some naval soldiers.When the Chinese in Hoi An Port saw that Deng Qianlong and his party were soldiers from China, they enthusiastically vacated their houses for the navy soldiers to live in temporarily.Deng Qianlong is not a stingy person either, he subsidized some silver taels to these ethnic Chinese.

"Ruan Youyi, what about the million taels of silver you agreed on? It is a huge expense for our soldiers to be stationed in Hoi An Port. If you don't pay the money quickly, how can we pick up the goods for you?" Deng Qianlong approached Ruan Youyi, dissatisfied Said.

"I'm sending someone to contact the master of Fuchun City, but it seems that there have been some changes in Fuchun City. I'm waiting for news." Ruan Youyi said awkwardly.

He still doesn't know that Ruan Fuyuan has come to Hoi An Port, and he thinks that Fuchun City is still controlled by the Ruan family, so Ruan Youyi is waiting for news from Fuchun City.

"Commander, Ruan Lord Ruan Fuyuan has come to Hoi An Port, and he wants to summon you." A navy soldier came in and said to Deng Qianlong.

"Why did the lord come here!" Ruan Youyi stood up as if struck by lightning, he couldn't understand why the elderly Lord Zheng came to Hoi An Port at this time.

"It has been spread outside that some rebels captured Fuchun City, Lord Ruan fled to Hoi An Port for refuge," said the navy soldier.

"Impossible! The Lord's grace and power spread all over the world in the south, how could there be rebels?" Ruan Youyi couldn't imagine.

"Shut up! Nothing is impossible in this world. Since Lord Ruan is in a national crisis, we have to help. However, as the lord of the country, how could Lord Ruan summon us with a superior attitude and let him come to find us by himself? Us." Deng Qianlong said.

"General Deng, our lord is at least the lord of a country. This status is enough to summon you..." Ruan Youyi protested from the side.

"In a country with a population of 60, the capital of the country has been breached by the rebels, and they want to summon us in a condescending manner. Do you know how many people we have in Huaxia? We have this number in the regular army and security forces alone." Deng Qianlong Stretching out a finger, "It's as much as the one million taels of silver you owe us."

"..." Ruan Youyi was speechless when he heard Deng Qianlong's words. 60 people are already quite a large population in Annan Kingdom, but if placed in the Celestial Dynasty, it is estimated to be at the level of a large city.

And the Nanyang Fleet led by Deng Qianlong has enough combat power to match all the forces that the Ruan family can exert all the power of the whole country.Just using force as a reference, Deng Qianlong is enough to sit on an equal footing with Lord Ruan.

"Okay, I'll go and report to Lord Ruan right now." The navy soldiers seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with it.The position of the Nanyang Fleet is originally the master of the Nanyang Fleet. In the future, it needs to control the Nanyang waters. Anything that breaks the security of the Southern Kingdom needs to be deterred by the Nanyang Fleet's force.

"Sigh." Ruan Youyi felt distressed in his heart, this time he really brought a big Buddha to the Ruan family.Although the power of this great Buddha is boundless, it has already surpassed the scope of the Ruan family's control, and the Ruan family still needs to please them.

"Ruan Youyi, you can wait at ease, you will be able to see Lord Ruan soon. I also want to see what the Lord who lost his capital looks like." Deng Qianlong said while sitting on a chair.
