Chapter 611 Control of Hoi An Port

Hoi An Port is in chaos.This port may be the most open port in Annan Kingdom. In addition to local residents, there are also Chinese merchants, Japanese merchants, and Western merchants who have settled here all year round.But at this time all the residents of Hoi An Port were bombed.

Just a few days ago, the Ruan Family Navy and the Nanyang Fleet had just set off, and in a blink of an eye, the Ruan Family Navy and the Nanyang Fleet returned.Moreover, the Nanyang Fleet was detaining the officers and men of the Ruan family's navy to disembark, which caused an uproar among those who saw this scene, and they didn't know why it happened.

"Surround the water transportation!" As soon as the sailing battleship Dawei docked, a group of more than a hundred soldiers rushed down from the deck of the sailing battleship Dawei, aiming directly at the water transportation office that governs Hoi An Port.

The Nanyang Fleet has stayed in Hoi An Port for a year, and is familiar with the way here, and the location of the Water Transport Office is even more clear.The residents on the street didn't know what happened. They just saw the soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet, who were usually gentle, become ferocious, pushing through the crowd to kill the Water Transport Yamen. Former Nanyang Fleet soldiers.

In addition to the soldiers of the Kyushu Army who were attacking the Water Transport Yamen, several groups of soldiers descended from the warships of the Nanyang Fleet and went separately to control the various streets.

At this time, there were only a few dozen people in the Water Transport Yamen dealing with internal affairs, and Ruan Luo, the governor, was still dozing off, and more than a hundred soldiers surrounded the Water Transport Yamen.

Boom!The two yamen servants were beaten into the yamen by the soldiers of the Kyushu Army, and they didn't even have time to ask questions.

"You...you are soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet? What are you doing here?!" The clerk in the yamen saw dozens of soldiers from the Kyushu Army rushing in with muskets, so he stood up and asked nervously.

All the government officials, including Ruan Luo, were alarmed and came out of various houses.

"Hoi An Port is under the jurisdiction of our Kyushu Army from now on, and you are all prisoners." The navy lieutenant who led the soldiers looked around at the officials in the Water Transport Yamen, and his murderous eyes made the civil servants in the Water Transport Yamen tremble with fright.

"Why can you remove our official position? Is there a document from the Lord?" Ruan Luo, the governor, stood up and said.Being frightened by the Kyushu Army just now, Ruan Luo has no sleep at all.

"Based on this!" The navy lieutenant waved his hand, and a dozen Dreiser rifles were pointed at Ruan Luo. As long as he gave an order, Ruan Luo would be beaten into a hornet's nest.

"My lord..." The officials behind Ruan Luo all looked at Ruan Luo, and what's more, they gently pressed Ruan Luo's shoulder, signaling him to calm down and deal with the current situation.

"If it weren't for the fact that we often communicate with your water transport yamen, I might have to kill today. Come here and confiscate all the weapons and sharp knives in the yamen to prevent them from being overwhelmed." Said the lieutenant forcefully.

Under the command of the lieutenant of the navy, the navy soldiers began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the water transportation office to search for weapons.

"General, we found some very dangerous things..." A group of marine soldiers brought several wooden boxes.

Seeing these wooden boxes, almost all the water transport officials turned pale.

"Dangerous thing?" said the lieutenant. "Open it and examine it."

"No!" Ruan Luo cried anxiously.

But no matter what his name was, it couldn't stop the marines from opening a few wooden boxes in front of everyone.

The moment the wooden box was opened, the golden and silver luster was radiant, making everyone's eyes shine.This simple wooden box turned out to be a variety of precious metals such as gold ingots, silver ingots, and Western silver dollars.

"It is indeed a very dangerous thing. There is a saying in "Historical Records" that the prosperity of the world is for profit; The double-pillar silver dollar, played with it in the hand and then threw it in, "Temporarily escort this dangerous thing to our ship, and we will manage it for you."

"You... you..." Ruan Luo was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood when he heard the brazen words of the onlookers.

"Master of the Kyushu Army, I don't know why you led troops to attack our Water Transport Yamen, but these are the treasury silver of our Water Transport Yamen, and they have to be handed over to Fuchun City at the end of each year. If you take away these silver, If the lord blames it, our heads will fall to the ground." An official of the Water Transport Yamen hesitated again and again, seeing that the treasury silver collected after a long time was about to be transported away by the Kyushu Army, he stood up to stop it.

"Don't worry, your lord will not blame you, because the Ruan family will be finished soon. In the next few days, you will stay in the yamen obediently, and we will have soldiers guarding you. If you try to resist or want to escape Come out, don't blame us for seeing blood." Before leaving, the navy lieutenant said something that made the water transportation officials feel like they were struck by lightning.

After the lieutenant of the navy escorted Ku Yin to leave, an official did not slow down: "What? He said that the Ruan family was going to die? Didn't the Kyushu Army help us deal with the Zheng family? Why have they become our enemies? My lord, what is going on here?"

"You ask me, I ask who. I don't know why the Kyushu Army became our enemy. Where is Ruan Youyi? What are the people above doing!" Ruan Luo, who was immediately seized by the Kyushu Army and Ku Yin, was also at a loss. There is a disorientation of who I am, where I am, and what I am doing.

There are no more Ruan soldiers in the port of Hoi An, and now the Ruan family's forces are divided into three parts. The first main force fought against the Zheng family's imperial forest army going south at the Changde base defense line, the second main force was surrendered by the Nanyang Fleet, and the third main force Defend the royal capital in Fuchun City.Except for these three troops, the rest of the Ruan family's territory is an empty area, and there is no need to divide troops to attack. It is only necessary to destroy the defensive troops of the king's capital, and the Ruan family will only have a single army left.

"You are going to attack Fuchun City next, right? Oh, I can't believe that our Ruan family will be reduced to such a point. But you only have a few thousand sailors, even if you capture Fuchun City, it is impossible to form a rule. We The Ruan family still has [-] soldiers in Changde Base, if you join forces with the Zheng family, tens of thousands of coalition troops will go south, and Fuchun City is not yours." Ruan Youyi was taken as a prisoner and was taken by Deng Qianlong to witness how the Kyushu Army captured Ruan step by step Home.

"Really?" Deng Qianlong said calmly, "But I'm not in a hurry to attack Fuchun City right now. And do you really think we only have these few thousand sailors? Let me tell you, Guangzhou Mansion An infantry force is on the sea, and according to the date they should be approaching the port of Hoi An."
