The Han culture is spreading strongly in Southeast Asia

Chapter 4 Where is the road?
The central government of the Nguyen Dynasty's Quang Nam Kingdom was divided into the Shechasi, Jiangchenlisi and Lingshisi.

The Shechasi was a combination of the Dali Temple, the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and other highest judicial inspection agencies.

The General Office of the Imperial Household was the main administrative department.

In addition to the duties of the Ministry of Rites, the main function of the Lingshisi was similar to the Privy Council in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and it was mainly responsible for military affairs.

The chief officer of the Lingshisi was called Yawei, and the current Yawei of the Ruan family was Zhang Fuyue. This shows the extent of the power of Zhang Fuyue and his son.

But tonight, no power could protect him.

Zhang Fuyue was horrified when he saw Ou Zibu breaking in, but he quickly calmed down. Ou Zibu's previous cowardly image gave him great confidence.

"Brother Nguyen, why are you doing this? Killing someone in Hue is a capital crime. If you come here like this, once the news gets out, I, your brother, will not be able to protect you."

"Hehe, haha!" Ou Zibu was so angry that he laughed. He still treated him as the fool he used to be. Without wasting any words, he drew his sword and went forward to kill Zhang Fuyue. The longer the night, the more trouble he would have.

Zhang Fuyue was really panicking this time. He stood up wrapped in the bed sheet and shouted loudly in a timid tone:

"Zhu Zibu, what do you want to do? My father is Zhang Fuluan. If you dare to hurt me, I will kill everyone in your Zhu family!"

At this time, the sound of swords clashing could be heard outside. It was obvious that Chen Guangyao had already started a fierce battle with the guard Zhang Fuluan who had rushed over.

Ou Zibu was worried about Chen Guangyao, so he stopped talking and strode forward, stabbing him with the steel knife in his hand.

However, unexpectedly, although Zhang Fuyue was a little fat, he was very agile in the emergency. He jumped a few times naked, not only avoiding the stab of Ou Zibu, but also ran to the window.

Damn! Ou Zibu cursed softly. After all, they came from a peaceful era, so he still had a slight resistance to killing people directly, so he was not so decisive when he acted.

But in just a moment, Ou Zibu quickly threw away his mental burden. If he continued to think about it at this time, he would have to pay the price in blood. He immediately stopped hesitating and chased after the man two steps further and slashed with his sword.

In a hurry, Zhang Fuyue used his hands to block, but he didn't expect that Ou Zibu was extremely strong and the steel knife came down on him. Zhang Fuyue screamed and four fingers fell off.

Ou Zibu stabbed Zhang Fuyue's thigh again, and blood spurted out of his thigh, leaving him unable to move.

"Mr. Ou, Mr. Ou, spare my life, spare my life! As long as you spare my life, you can have anything you want.

Don't you like Nguyen Thi Yuan? I swear I will never have anything to do with him again. I will also ask my father to give your family a higher position."

Ou Zibu snorted coldly, his old resentment welling up in his chest. "You bastard! I'm a descendant of nobles from a superior country, a hero. Why do I need a monkey like you from Annan to promote my family?"

After saying that, Ou Zibu cruelly broke the lamp oil with the tip of the knife, soaking Zhang Fuyue's body, and then stabbed his other thigh again, making him completely unable to move.

The fire starter was blown, a flash of fire appeared, and a burning man screamed miserably and began to roll back and forth on the ground.

On the bed, Ruan Shiyuan was so scared that she was on the verge of collapse. The matter would definitely be spread out, and Zhang Fuyue was also dead. By then, Zhang Fuluan, whose beloved son had died, would definitely not let her go.

Chen Guangyao leaped into the house with a few big strides. There were a few scratches on his chest and some bleeding, but he was not seriously injured. Instead, he looked very energetic.

"Guangnan Kingdom is truly rotten to the core. Even the guards around Zhang Fuyue are just fancy moves. The three of them can barely stand up to me."

Ou Zibu was slightly stunned, then nodded.

The core military force of the Nguyen family in Guangnan is called the Zhengying soldiers, which is equivalent to the Four Guards Camp of the Imperial Horse Administration in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Jianrui Camp and Shanpu Camp of the Beijing Banner in the Qing Dynasty. They are all the elite among the elite.

Among them, the guards of Zhang Fuyue were all picked from thousands, and were no less capable than those who guarded Lord Ruan. However, when three of them attacked Chen Guangyao alone, they could only leave some knife marks on Chen Guangyao's clothes. This shows how rotten the inside was.

No wonder that more than a decade later, Nguyen Hue’s Tây Sơn uprising army was able to defeat the Nguyen family of Quang Nam.

The wailing of Zhang Fuyue, the fire man on the ground, gradually became smaller, and the smell of burning pork filled the room. In a while, the surrounding neighbors would definitely be alarmed.

Seeing that Ou Zibu didn't come forward, Chen Guangyao was afraid that this big man would start to flatter him again, so he stopped talking nonsense and rushed forward with two knives in hand, intending to kill Ruan Shiyuan, cursing viciously:

"Bitch, my brother is the Hexian Prince, a Han noble. You are blind and don't recognize the real man. You have insulted me too much. I will not forgive you today!"

Ruan Shiyuan looked at Ou Zibu in horror, and saw that the tenderness in the dog's eyes had disappeared, and instead there was a kind of playful cruelty.

Then she thought that even if Ou Zibu spared her, Zhang Fuyue would die tragically and her scandal would spread, and she would have no way to survive.

It is said that women are more cruel than men. Ruan Shiyuan laughed crazily, pointed at Lu Zibu and Chen Guangyao and screamed, "Han nobles? Hahaha! You two lunatics still think that the Han people are the superior people of the Celestial Empire?

Forget about it, you are nothing but stray dogs of a lost country. You don't even have a country anymore. The one sitting on the dragon throne in the capital is the emperor of the bannermen, not your emperor. If it weren't for my Ruan family taking you in, you wouldn't even have a home!"

"Fuck your mother!" When Ou Zibu heard this, he felt like his brain was about to explode. With blood rushing to his pupils, he took a quick step forward.

Chen Guangyao's eyes also turned red, and the two of them hacked at the green tea bitch, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, until even the thin quilt on the bed was chopped into strips.

. . . .

Yinzheng, four o'clock in the morning.

Ou Zibu and Chen Guangyao changed into black tights and did not even dare to carry long weapons like swords. They only carried two daggers with them and started running towards the south of Hue City.

Although Hue City is the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, the city is not big, nor is it a large brick and stone city like the ones in China. Instead, it is a low city wall made of rammed earth. Due to the hot and humid climate, many of the walls have collapsed, and some places are so large that even short people can step over them.

Well, it doesn’t matter if you can’t cross it, because in order to save the Nguyen Dynasty’s numerous city entry taxes, Hue City has at least dozens of tunnels or dog holes.

Previously, Ou Zibu was a guard in front of the Nguyen Lord, but Chen Guangyao was a junior officer in charge of the defense of the provincial capital, so he was very familiar with this situation.

When he led Ngoc Thuy and the other two out of Hue City through a dog hole, the city began to become commotion. Apparently, the murders of Zhang Fuyue and Nguyen Thi Yuan had just been discovered.

The two men ran madly south along the trail, and on the way they exchanged their fine black linen clothes for several sets of old farmer's clothes.

After galloping for dozens of miles, we saw Ruan's fast horse running wildly on the road. Needless to say, it was most likely going to various checkpoints to issue arrest warrants.

The two did not expect Zhang Fuluan to react so quickly. At this time, where to go became a big problem.

Chen Guangyao has enough fighting power and is brave and decisive, but if you ask him to give advice, he won't be able to do it.

As for Ou Zibu, everyone knew what he was like in the past. Chen Guangyao was not going to let this big man use his brain, so it would be better for him to think for himself. So he squatted by a pond in a valley, tried his best to use his brain and began to think hard.

However, the previous Ou Zibu was not able to do it, but after combining the brain of the time traveler Zhou Zibu, it is obvious that he can plan a path.

"Ayao, let's go find Hong Ahan and ask him to take us to Hoi An!"

"Hong Ahan is a trendy guy and has never gotten along well with us. What will he do?" Chen Guangyao asked with a frown.

"Yes, don't worry, I have a way to make him do it." Ou Zibu looked confident.

It was 1765, the th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign. There was still about a year before the most sensational event in the history of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia occurred, when Taksin, the second-generation immigrant from Chaozhou, became a hero who saved the Thai nation and then became the greatest emperor in Thai history.

And now Ou Zi Bu has killed Zhang Fuyue, the son of Zhang Fuluan, who is like Dong Zhuo of the Nguyen Dynasty of Guangnan. Not to mention that Hue is 1,700 to 1,800 miles away from Ha Tien and it is difficult to go back, even if he goes back, once the people of Guangnan find out, his situation will immediately be very dangerous.

If Ou Zibu had not gone back, Ou Tianci might have been able to withstand Zhang Fuluan's criticism.

But if Ou Zibu had gone back, it is unknown whether Ou Tianci would still withstand the pressure that could lead to the overthrow of the country for the sake of a concubine giving birth to a child.

Never overestimate the importance of family ties in politicians' hearts.

And even if he returned to Hexian, Ou Zibu thought about it and felt that it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.

The Hexian Ou family is a family-run, semi-independent small country, mixed with the Chen, Lin, Huang and other family forces. Ou Zibu has four older brothers, so it is difficult for him to make a name for himself.

On the contrary, in Siam, Taksin was about to restore his country and become king, and the chances were far greater than in Ha Tien. Siam was not afraid of the Nguyen family of Quang Nam and could use them as a backer.

So instead of going home, it would be better to go to Siam and seek refuge with Taksin, and see if he could avoid the tragic fate of the King of Thonburi in his later years.

The great pirate Hong Ahan, who lived slightly north of Hoi An, was from Chao'an, Chaozhou, which was adjacent to Zheng Xin's ancestral home, Chenghai, Chaozhou. It was said that the ancestral houses of the two families were separated by a small stream, and the relationship between the two sides was very close.

Zheng Xin was far away in Siam, and he obtained intelligence about the Qing Dynasty and the Zheng Nan and Nguyen in Anbei almost all through the Hong family.

That's why Ou Zibu decided to go to Hong Ahan to give it a try.
