Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 612 Alertness
On the third day that Hoi An Port was taken over by the Kyushu Army, a group of troop carriers and supply ships from Guangzhou Prefecture arrived at Hoi An Port, only two days later than expected.Regardless of the two-day delay, in this era of underdeveloped communications and across an ocean full of variables, it is too difficult to cooperate.

This batch of fleet is mighty, there are about a hundred ships, not only the troop carriers produced by the Dalian Shipyard, but also merchant ships, fishing boats and other ships temporarily requisitioned as troop carriers and supply ships. Compared with the number of ships in the Nanyang Fleet How many times more.

The Western merchants in Hoi An Port witnessed with their own eyes groups of elite Eastern soldiers disembarking from the troop carriers, counting their heads in an orderly manner at the port, and then stationed in the camps assigned by Deng Qianlong in advance.These elite infantry and the navy soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet are even more threatening to the Ruan family, because they are good at attacking cities and lands and large-scale battles.

A young general in army uniform came down from a troop carrier, saw Deng Qianlong coming to meet him in person, and quickly stepped in front of Deng Qianlong: "Commander, Cao Bianjiao of the Sixth Corps has arrived according to the instructions of the military department. There is a storm in the sea. Two days late, please punish the commander."

"There is no way to deal with a storm at sea. I think the military department will understand it. Don't take it to heart." Deng Qianlong said, "After Changyi, the commander of the Sixth Corps, went to lead the Independent Corps, your brother-in-law Cao Wen The imperial edict temporarily acted as the head of the Sixth Corps, I thought he was leading the troops here in person, but I didn’t expect you to be the one sent by the military. How old is this year?”

"Two out of twenty subordinates, the commander thinks that I am not capable of completing the task entrusted to me by the military?" Cao Bianjiao said a little dissatisfied.

"You are too sensitive. It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that it's different from what I originally imagined. 20 years old is a great time for a man to make contributions. At this time, Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, is already the leader of pirates and the leader of the army. He also raised troops in southern Liaoning and laid down a land. The military lord has recently employed a large number of new recruits in order to train batches of excellent generals for Huaxia, so as to maintain a strong military force. Don't let the military lord live up to your expectations." Deng Qianlong encouraged Cao Bianjiao, a newcomer.

If Cao Bianjiao was just a Zhao Kuo-style character who talked about soldiers on paper, then Deng Qianlong was still worried that he would carelessly lose Jingzhou when the Kyushu Army had a great advantage, but Deng Qianlong knew that Cao Bianjiao joined the army when he was more than ten years old, and followed his brother-in-law Cao Wenzhao to crusade against the peasant army , has actually been able to lead an army by itself.Of course, Cao Bianjiao did not have the opportunity to lead a large number of troops, and more experience is needed to be on his own. This time, the military department simply arranged for Cao Bianjiao to practice on the battlefield of Annan Kingdom, which is at his fingertips.

"The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the military master. This time I brought 6000 soldiers from the Sixth Corps, as well as some civilian husbands and handymen, and more importantly, ammunition and food." Cao Bianjiao pointed to the army moored in the port behind him. The supply ship said, "These ammunition and food are enough to capture Fuchun City. After we reorganize our troops, we will immediately send our troops northward to attack Fuchun City?"

"Don't worry, you have come from a long way, rest for one night first, tomorrow I will personally lead two thousand naval officers and soldiers to attack Fuchun City with you." Deng Qianlong said.

As early as after Hoi An Port was occupied by the Kyushu Army, some Ruan family members from Hoi An Port escaped out of Hoi An Port and spread the news of the Kyushu Army's betrayal to various places, causing an uproar in the Ruan family!This sensation was even more shocking than the rebellion of the third prince of the Ruan family, Ruan Phucian, the year before.

If Ruan Fuming's rebellion could still be suppressed by the army, now the Kyushu army's betrayal completely confuses the Ruan family.The Ruan family is suffering from two forces stronger than themselves, and it is impossible to find other foreign aid!

Fuchun City received an urgent report, and a group of old uncles from the Ruan family jumped out one after another to rectify the city defense and conscript the people.Although the Kyushu Army hadn't arrived yet, Fuchun City was already in dire straits, worrying that the Kyushu Army would come over soon.Horses carrying letters galloped out of Fuchun city one after another, sending bad news to the Ruan family's army on the Changde base line of defense, and the [-] Ruan family's army on the Changde base line of defense was their last hope.

"Urgent report! Urgent report..." The messenger galloped non-stop from Fuchun City to Changde Fortress. When the horse broke into Changde Fortress, he was too tired and fell down. The messenger was caught off guard and thrown out. !

"Hurry up and save people!" The defenders of Changde Base frantically helped the envoy who had fallen to the ground to his feet.

There was blood on his forehead, but he kept shouting excitedly: "Urgent report, hurry... Take me to see the regent and General Ruan Youjin!"

The defenders of Changde Base saw that they were their own people and seemed to have an extremely urgent matter, so they didn't dare to delay too much, so they carried this envoy into Changde Base.

"What, the Kyushu Army is also deceiving people too much! I promised to compensate them 20 million taels of silver within 500 years, and they are still betraying us at this time!" The regent Ruan Fuxi slapped the wooden table angrily, and the teapot and teacups on it were shaken. one jump.

Ruan Youjin's face was dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but hearing such bad news, his mood would definitely not get better.

"Ruan Youjin, why do you think this is? Why did the Kyushu Army betray us? Isn't five million taels of silver enough to satisfy them?" Ruan Fuxi's tone was already full of rage.

This is equivalent to when you are imagining that you have the chance to win, the god teammate suddenly stabs you in the back and feels uncomfortable!
"Either the Zheng family gave them better conditions than us. This is very possible, because the Zheng family has a larger territory and a larger population than us, and the conditions they can offer are better than ours." Ruan Youjin said .

"The conditions are better than ours? Could it be that he Zheng Bing can give the Kyushu Army 1000 million taels of silver? 1000 million taels of silver, I don't believe that Zheng Bing will reluctantly take it out." Ruan Fuxi was still furious.

"It would be fine if the Kyushu Army was bought by the Zheng family. I'm most afraid..." Ruan Youjin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if thinking of something terrible, his body trembled involuntarily.

"What are you most afraid of?" Ruan Fuxi asked.

"If the Kyushu army betrayed us not because of the Zheng family's bribe, but because of the Kyushu army's own will, it would be really terrible." Ruan Youjin said his guess, and even he himself was taken aback by his own thoughts.

"You mean that the Kyushu Army is..." Ruan Fuxi was also taken aback, "It has been plotting our territory for a long time, just waiting for the right time?"

"To determine whether this is the case, I think we need to find answers from our decades-old enemy, the Zheng family," Ruan Youjin said.
