Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 516
In front of Hoi An Port, a group of naval soldiers from the warships of the Nanyang Fleet gathered. There are more than 1000 naval soldiers, mainly naval soldiers who have been trained in land warfare.The Nanyang Fleet is stationed in Guangzhou, and it has not been free of military pay in recent years, and the quality of soldiers has been improving rapidly.

Deng Qianlong, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, put a copy of the treaty signed by Ruan Fuyuan into a box, and then handed it over to the guards.

"Lord Ruan, I have seen your sincerity. Our Nanyang Fleet will definitely do our best to help you regain Fuchun City and stop the Zheng family's ambition." Deng Qianlong bowed to Ruan Fuyuan.

"I have to trust you guys." Ruan Fuyuan's wrinkled withered face twitched a few times, his heart pierced like a knife.

This "Treaty of Hoi An Port" was the first unequal treaty his Ruan family ever signed.The Nanyang Fleet needs to help the Ruan family regain the lost Fuchun City, and prevent the Zheng family from launching a roundabout landing that is likely to be launched.The Ruan family needs to open Hoi An Port as one of the military ports of the Nanyang Fleet in the South Seas, and Hoi An Port will always be open to Chinese merchants.In addition to the Hoi An Port as a bargaining chip, the Ruan family also agreed to the Kyushu Army's right to build railways in Annan, the right to set up private schools, and the right to publish books, which seemed to have little direct impact on the Ruan family's regime.After all, the current Ruan Fuyuan has never seen what the railway looks like. He can only get a general understanding based on the description of An Nanguo businessman, and then he has to sign the treaty.If the delay continues, Lord Zheng's Imperial Forest Army will soon break through the defense line of Changde Base and drive straight down.At that time, the Kyushu army will be beyond reach.

For Nguyen Phuc Yuan, the price this time was too heavy.Not only the above-mentioned privileges, the Ruan family also owed the Kyushu Army 50 taels of military expenses, together with 100 million taels of silver for the purchase of firearms, a total of 150 million taels of silver.For the Ruan family, which has a population of just over 60, this is simply an astronomical figure, equivalent to 2.5 taels of silver in debt for each commoner...

"Ruan Youyi, this king entrusts you with the title of Great General of Thieves, leading the [-] rebel troops gathered in Hoi An Port, equipped with the best firearms purchased from the Chinese Empire, and together with the Chinese troops, regained Fuchun City!" Ruan Fu said to Ruan Youyi, who was on a mission to Guangzhou, said.

"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint the Lord's trust, I vow to take back Fuchun City, and capture all the traitors!" Ruan Youyi was so grateful for being reused by Lord Ruan, he knelt on the ground and worshiped Lord Ruan as if worshiping a god.

Standing aside, Deng Qianlong was not moved by the scene where the ruler and ministers of the Ruan family were united. Instead, he worried whether the two thousand rebels of the Ruan family might be dragging teammates: "Your soldiers have not been trained, so they should know how to use our firearms." ?”

"General Deng, please rest assured that our soldiers were trained by the officers of the Frang machine country before receiving the aid of the Kyushu army, and were also equipped with a batch of Flang machine guns and matchlock guns." Ruan Youyi saw that Deng Qianlong doubted his country's troops fighting power, immediately retorted.

"That's fine." Deng Qianlong nodded in satisfaction.

In order to control the unforeseen consequences of the exported firearms, the power of the firearms exported by the Kyushu Army is similar to that of Western firearms in this era.If the soldiers of the Ruan family already possessed the ability to use Flang machine firearms, they would soon be able to skillfully use this batch of firearms that supported An Nanguo.

After confirming that the 1000 rebel troops led by Ruan Youyi had combat effectiveness, Deng Qianlong said to Sun Xu, the captain of the Dazhao, "I will personally lead the fleet north to the mouth of Rili Sea, and join hands with the Ruan family's navy to prevent the Zheng family's navy from detouring to the rear of Changde base by water. On land I will leave the battle to you. These more than [-] soldiers are all soldiers who are best at land warfare in our Nanyang Fleet, and I don’t want many of them to die on foreign land.”

"Yes! The subordinates will definitely regain Fuchun City at the lowest cost! The military master said that the most powerful infantry in the world is the infantry of our Kyushu Army, and the second strongest infantry is our navy's turn!" Sun Xu Respectfully accept Deng Qianlong's instructions.

The military order is like a mountain, even if it is a navy soldier, when it is time to go to land to attack the fortress, they still do not hesitate!
"You only sent more than 1000 soldiers on land. Are you confident that you can capture Fuchun City? Fuchun City has a solid wall and is surrounded by a moat..." Ruan Fuyuan asked suspiciously.

"For Fuchun City, there are only a few thousand rebels. If our Nanyang Fleet's more than 1000 soldiers plus your [-] rebels equipped with the firearms we assisted cannot regain it, the officers and soldiers of our Nanyang Fleet will simply line up. Just jump into the sea of ​​Nanyang." Sun Xu, the captain of the Da Zhao, was full of enthusiasm.

Ruan Fuyuan seemed to feel Sun Xu's strong self-confidence, and no longer questioned the capabilities of the Nanyang Fleet.

"Master Ruan, don't worry, good steel must be used wisely. The main battlefield of our Nanyang Fleet is on the spacious Nanyang Sea. The army will fall into the situation of being attacked from the front and back, and will have to retreat. And Fuchun City will only become an isolated city at that time, Lord Ruan, you have enough time to catch the turtle." Deng Qianlong said.

"The lives of our Ruan family will be entrusted to the three of you." The elderly Ruan Fuyuan said to Deng Qianlong, Sun Xu and Ruan Fuyuan.

The blue dragon flag with its fangs and claws fluttered in mid-air, which symbolized the first time that the flag of the Kyushu Army and Navy was flying on the land of Annan Kingdom, and the dragon symbolized the supremacy of the Celestial Dynasty in the Chinese cultural circle.

"Line up!" Sun Xu temporarily handed over the Dazhao to the deputy commander of the ship, and he served as the commander of the temporarily formed Annan Kingdom Expeditionary Force.

Originally in Chu Yun's plan, the Annan Kingdom Expeditionary Force should be an independent regiment that is currently training in Guilin and Kunming, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. An expeditionary force had only more than 1000 people, and it took two thousand aboriginals to fight another few thousand aboriginals.

More than 1000 naval soldiers came from different ships, but even if they were formed temporarily, they were still in order.

This made Ruan Youyi, who was accompanied by rebel troops from all over the Ruan family's influence, couldn't help being envious and jealous.In contrast, the Ruan Jiayi army, which was also patchwork, not only had different costumes, but also the team was chaotic, basically following the lead of their respective leaders.The only tidy ones are probably the flintlock guns and artillery received from the cargo ships of the Nanyang Fleet.

It's not that the Ruan family doesn't have decent troops, but they all fought bloody battles with the Zheng family's imperial forest army and the mercenaries of the Netherlands on the Changdebai front.

"set off!"

This joint force mixed with the Kyushu Army and the Ruan Family's Tu Army began to counterattack against Fuchun City.It has to be said that Ruan Fuyuan, a hero who has been all-powerful for decades, broke his wrist at a critical moment. At this time, only three days after the fall of Fuchun City, he integrated an army of more than 3000 people to fight back.
