Chapter 161: The Rebellion of Champong Harbor 3
Ruan Mingfang was stunned, the strangely dressed man was holding a strange thing in his hand, a bit like the kind of clairvoyant mirror commonly used by the Maidno people, but there were two mirrors with blue light, which were also much shorter, and this clairvoyant mirror was a priceless militaristic weapon in the Annan army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because the people of Maidno have never sold this kind of thing, often a clairvoyant mirror can be sold for five or six hundred taels, and he has only seen it once from his father-in-law.
The person in front of him, who looked like he should be in the new army, also held one in his hand, which made him stunned, did this group of new army still have these precious things? So how rich is this new army?
"Nonsense! The Holy Purpose is not yet to come out and receive the decree quickly! Ruan Mingfang hurriedly rolled up the holy decree, holding it in both hands and shouting.
"Are you going to take orders?" Beiwei quietly approached Ruan Wenyu and asked, the tall New Army officer shook his head, "I only listen to the princess's, not the princess's orders, and I don't listen to the Heavenly King Lao Tzu." ”
Beiwei was happy, "Then do you listen to our orders?" ”
Ruan Wenyu knew that he had missed his mouth now, and nodded at Beiwei busily, "Listen to it!" You are friends with the princess, and you will not harm us! I'm talking about the bastards down there. ”
Ruan Mingfang was completely speechless at this time, he was under the camp wall, he heard the words bastard clearly, since he became an official, he had never heard anyone call him bastard. Now these guys in front of him, who don't have a list in the military department, and who are not even considered generals in the military department, dare to call themselves bastards directly, and can't help but be angry, and directly hand over the holy decree used as a prop to the followers behind him, turn around and leave.
Since they can't be deceived by the holy decree at this time, the new army inside will definitely not come out. So he left three hundred forbidden troops to continue to surround the camp of the new army, forbidding anyone to enter or leave, and to trap them inside.
"Your Excellency!" A man who looked like a master saluted Ruan Mingfang, who walked into the study angrily.
"Oh, you checked the documents in this house, did you say how many people there are in the new army?" Ruan Mingfang went straight to the point, he is now iron-hearted, since this group of new troops is unwilling to surrender, it is better to solve it directly.
"According to the documents and records of the government, the villain judged that the new army should be no more than 200 people, and no more than 280 at most." The master hurriedly said. "But I don't know how effective the new army is."
Ruan Minh Fang's head turned around a few times, he had 500 forbidden troops under his command, and some of the Xiang troops who came to show their loyalty - because this time the personnel were dismissed, only civilian officers were dismissed, and there was no movement in the army, so the officers of the Xiang army hurriedly ran to show their loyalty. "Right now, I have 500 forbidden troops, plus more than 1,000 Xiang troops, a total of 2,000 people," Ruan Mingfang thought as he carefully calculated.
Master didn't know what he was thinking, and hurriedly echoed: "The Xiang army and the forbidden army should have two thousand people, two thousand to two hundred, and the art of war has ten clouds to attack it, and we are now more than ten times the number of troops, so we are naturally not afraid of their tricks, we can mobilize the army tonight, and directly attack the new army camp early tomorrow morning, and we will definitely be able to eliminate it." ”
Ruan Mingfang suddenly remembered in his heart that the strange clairvoyant mirror was here, and if that thing could be offered, there would definitely be a huge reward. I couldn't help but twist my beard and nod and laugh gently, as if I had won the battle.
At the same time, in the New Army barracks, officers and soldiers of the Forces nouvelles were arguing. Next to them were some veterans of the Senate's special investigation team, who were holding a mobile phone and were contacting Qian Longzhou outside through their mobile phones. Qian Longzhou knew that there were people outside the city guard mansion who were staring at him now, and the people who went out by himself had to be inspected, whether they were good or good. However, in this era, there was no radio interference and surveillance, and he did not need to go out at all to contact the special reconnaissance team in the barracks a few miles away.
Qian Longzhou raised more than a dozen children in the port of Champa from the beginning, and unlike adults, children have a hard time attracting the attention of hostile forces, and they can sneak into many places where adults cannot penetrate, and because they want to prove that they are not inferior to adults, they are loyal to those who recognize their abilities. The children were outside to collect information on the movements of many of the troops outside, according to his request, and they also went close to listen to the conversations between many sergeants, and learned that they were going to attack the camp of the Forces nouvelles early tomorrow morning. Now the news has reached the barracks of the new army, and the quarrel between the officers and soldiers is about this.
The only thought of the officers who were trained by Qian Longzhou and born soldiers was that the Senate would definitely not pit themselves, and it would definitely not be wrong to follow the Senate. But another group of officers who were drawn from other side armies after the expansion of the army did not think so, they were the military generals of the Annan Imperial Court, and they were all listed in the Annan Military Department, and they were now confronting the forbidden army outside purely because they were coerced by these colleagues. Now that he heard that the governor of Champa was about to launch troops to encircle and suppress him, he couldn't help but be so anxious that he turned white. For them, their allegiance is to the Annan court, and their loyalty to the princess is not high. Now they don't want to rebel with these colleagues, they want to go out and surrender to the Forbidden Army. The soldiers were similar, and the veterans at the time of their formation basically followed the Senate. As soon as the recruits heard that they were going to rebel, they were so frightened that their legs went limp. No matter how high the treatment of the new army is, a rebellion is a rebellion, and the imperial army is a dead end when it comes, and none of them are willing to participate in the rebellious team.
However, the people of the special reconnaissance team did not intend to take so many people, in fact, the most important thing in an army is veterans and officers, who are the core of this army. The veterans and officers of the New Army basically had fought a few battles with the barbarians and had combat experience, but in comparison, these unwilling to rebel were dispensable. Therefore, Beiwei immediately made a decision, and if he was willing to follow the Senate, he immediately packed up and withdrew from the tunnel that had been built at the beginning at night, which was only a hundred people and could easily mix in the port of Champa. As for Qian Longzhou, there are also tunnels in his city guard's mansion, and he has already withdrawn from the tunnels with his new army escort, and now they are all in the trading post.
The trading post was also busy at this time. The Senate forces are about to evacuate all the Cham Gang and evacuate with them most of the rich merchants in Champong Port, these rich merchants fled because the taxes in other cities in Annam were too high, and since even the last piece of pure land has been lost now, it is better to simply move their families to Dongfang Port, where at least I heard that there is not so much tax.
The addition of these rich businessmen made Qian Longzhou scratch his head, he originally only made preparations for the evacuation of 300 people, but at this time, with these rich businessmen, even after the defense of Zhancheng Port has been cleaned up once, the number of rich businessmen is still too much, and now there are thousands of people. Fortunately, at this time, the Xiang army of Zhancheng Port had already run to assemble and prepare to encircle and suppress the new army, and the officials who were originally in charge of public security were all dismissed, otherwise this mighty more than 1,000 people would have been discovered long ago. Since the location of the trading post is in the south of the city and the east of the city is directly adjacent to the sea, it is necessary to transport so many people out, I am afraid that there is no other way than to take them out by sea through the port. But not to mention that the Senate Navy does not have so many transport ships, not to mention that these rich merchants are all towing their families, and one of them even brought more than a dozen carts, which is simply impossible to transport away, don't they know that the port of Champa has been blocked a month ago?
Qian Longzhou was holding his hair with both hands at this time, with a painful look on his face, desperately thinking of solutions, and one plan after another in his heart was rejected one after another......
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Nguyen Minh Fang changed his clothes under the service of the concubine, and rinsed his mouth with fine salt, he liked this fine salt very much, there was no bitterness in the salt of Hue at all, and there was still a trace of sweetness in his mouth after rinsing. At this time, he was no longer depressed from yesterday, sleeping in the princess's bedroom was a pleasure, and now he was full of ambition, thinking about how to attack the new army camp and how to behead all those rebels.
While he was thinking about it, a servant girl ran in, "My lord, there are a few officers outside asking to see you." ”
"Oh!" Ruan Mingfang responded happily, changed into his official robe, and then walked out in four square steps. When I came to the meeting room, I saw two hundred households in the forbidden army and one thousand households in the box army, and two hundred households were standing in the hall wearing military uniforms. Since their rank was far lower than that of Ruan Mingfang, they didn't dare to sit at all.
"Your Excellency!" Seeing Ruan Mingfang walk in, the five officers said in unison.
"What's the matter with how many of you came? I wonder if the army has been assembled? Ruan Mingfang saw that their faces were cloudy, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked. But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
"This ......" Qianhu hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and only he was the highest official, so he had to reply stubbornly: "The new army camp opened this morning and surrendered. ”
"What?" Ruan Ming was overjoyed and looked at Qianhu, "This is a good thing!" Why are you waiting for all the sad faces? ”
"Those who surrendered were all military generals under the economic system, and then there were new soldiers, soldiers and generals who did not belong to the economic system all absconded at night." Qianhu's face was full of sadness.
The smile on Ruan Mingfang's face immediately froze. "Escaped? How is that possible? Didn't you say that the entire barracks had been surrounded like iron buckets? ”
"Interrogating the generals learned that there was a secret passage in their camp, and that these rebels had fled through the secret passage last night."
Ruan Mingfang's anger suddenly rushed to his head, picked up the porridge served by the servant girl on the side, slammed it on the ground and roared: "It's all waste!" Go! Torture these generals and see where these rebels have fled!" It doesn't matter if I die, I just want the result! ”
"Yes!" The five officers hurriedly agreed in unison and hurried out.
