Chapter 160: The Rebellion in Champong Harbor 2

Champa was not in the hands of the princess for a long time, but because of the loose policy, this originally barren territory became one of the best trading ports in Annam in a short period of time, and had a large amount of gold and silver income. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis time, the princess left Champa Port to return to Hue by edict, and the financial income of her territory naturally could not be taken away, totaling about 100,000 taels of silver, in addition to some money that Nguyen Phuc Yuan usually rewarded, adding up to 170,000 taels of silver. If this silver is not in her hands, it will inevitably fall into the hands of the officials who came to grab the city port, and it will become a delicacy in the feast of dividing the city port, so she will definitely not let this money fall into the hands of these people.

She also thought about it, if she hid it, the money would be too big, and it would be impossible to hide it over everyone's ears and eyes, and sooner or later it would be exposed. If you lend it out, except for the Senate in front of you, no one dares to collect such a large sum of money. Therefore, at the suggestion of Qian Longzhou, she sent this huge amount of money directly to the trading post opened by the Chinese.

Qian Longzhou also had a plan, in order to protect their own interests, this group of officials who came to receive it would inevitably dismiss almost all the officials of Champa Port, so no one would post money to reveal the traces of this huge amount of money to them, and at the beginning of the beginning of the reception of Champa Port, it would inevitably be chaotic because of political and economic turmoil, although they seemed to have unlimited scenery at this time, they were completely isolated in a power vacuum, and when they returned to power, the Senate had already transferred this silver out. Moreover, as the former city guard and the chief instructor of the New Army, he had the right to mobilize the New Army to escort this batch of silver.

As for the new army, he has already made plans, the Ministry of Works in Hue City even dismisses revolvers as rubbish, and they will definitely not accept the existence of such an army that will not accept the direct command of the Ministry of War, and they will definitely find a way to disarm the new army and remove it. The abolition of such a combat-effective modern army will definitely cause a strong backlash from the new army, so the Senate can deal with it in two ways, the first is to directly incorporate the new army, and the new army will be incorporated as the Senate Foreign Legion, which will be used in large quantities in future battles, which can reduce the number of naturalized people; The second is to directly support the new army, which has made great achievements in the defense of Champa Port but has been completely wiped out, and it is impossible for the new army to be honestly dismantled, so it is possible to raise a guerrilla force in Annam by providing weapons and ammunition.

Some veterans questioned whether the scale of this kind of guerrilla force was too large, almost as if it was armed. But the patriarchs who supported this view cited the example of the Yugoslav partisans during World War II, which was so large that it could even hold down more than 20 Nazi divisions, and even had an air force in the later period, saying that the term guerrillas could not be summed up in terms of the tactics and size of Chinese or Latin American guerrillas. At this stage, Princess Ji of Champonggang is the first force to defect to the bright light, if she gives up just because she has lost power, then no more forces will defect to the Senate in the future, and the future development of the Senate is purely a joke. Not to mention that the princess is now under house arrest in Hue, although she is prominent, but it is not excluded that there will be a mad minister who will find a way to kill her, so raising an armed force loyal to the princess within the scope of the city is a guarantee for the princess's safety, and the more trouble there is here, the more her safety can be guaranteed, and to a certain extent, it can even help the princess directly seize power by force.

Therefore, the confrontation between the new army and the Champa port army and the forbidden army was in fact instructed by the Senate, and since the princess had designated Qian Longzhou as the actual commander of the new army before leaving, the guerrilla action of the new army had already begun to run.

"Lord Qian!" A herald ran to Qian Longzhou's signing room and reported, "The governor of Champa has summoned you over." ”

Qian Longzhou raised his eyebrows, this was what he expected, and it was impossible for these feudal bureaucrats to solve this kind of problem. The most they usually encounter is just a salary, and the big deal is to pay two months' salary. But now that these new troops are asking for the princess to come back, this so-called governor of Champa will certainly not be able to spit out the fat that has been eaten in his mouth. Qian Longzhou was snickering in his heart, it was not certain whether it was fat or poison that he was eating.

He stood up and glanced at it, it turned out that he was still a herald in his own house, and he didn't pay attention to the news of his dismissal, and still lived in the city guard's mansion. The new city guard who came to take office was blocked outside yesterday and could not enter, and now there is such a big matter outside, the newly appointed governor of Champa has no time to take care of such a trivial matter.

"Let him come and beg me himself." He said a word to the herald, and then closed the door.

Ruan Mingfang was about to explode, and the city guard who went to take office yesterday came to him angrily, saying that the old city guard had occupied the city guard mansion, and not only did not hand over the city guard seal and left the city guard mansion, but instead beat the city guard and drove him out. Xincheng was angry, and brought more than a dozen forbidden troops to exert pressure again, but was killed on the spot by a burst of random gunfire, two were injured, six or seven, and ran back. Nguyen Minh Fang also had no choice, in addition to the 500 forbidden troops he brought with him, he couldn't mobilize many troops, in fact, many of the troops he mobilized today refused to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the new army.

He now appears to be the governor of the city, but in fact he is isolated from power, and his orders cannot even be passed on to the governor's yamen. Because the attempt of the six ministries to carve up the interests of Champa Port is too ugly, they have already carved up all the official positions in the entire Champa Port when they are still in Hue, and whether a city can be successfully taken over is the most important thing is those grassroots officials. The consequence of this dismissal is that all the officials who have come to take up their posts in Champa now know nothing about Champang.

And what he didn't know was that since almost all the officials in Champanggang had been dismissed, and the angry officials chose to hide all the matters that needed attention in the takeover of Champang, how did they not know the combat effectiveness of the new army? But at present, although there are many local officials and people in Zhanchenggang who are watching from afar, but not half of them have come forward to persuade them, and they are all waiting to see these foreign officials and forbidden soldiers who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and knock eggs on the stones.

He didn't know anything about Qian Longzhou's situation, he only knew that this person was the former city guard of Champa Port, specially appointed by the princess, and he didn't know at all that this person was a military observer sent by the Senate that was close at hand. This is understandable, he didn't even know that there was a "North Qiaotou Town" by the river that led to the north. In his opinion, a city guard, the highest official position is no more than four grades, and he can't find a name in the official department, and his own governor summoned him over to look at his face, which is simply ignorant of dignity. However, now that the confrontation is getting more and more serious, he has to put the matter of Qian Longzhou aside and solve the problem of the new army first.

"The new officers and soldiers in the battalion obey the order!" He had to make up his mind, walked to the front of the confrontation and shouted inside.

"Decreed!" A few men in strange military uniforms who stood on the camp wall and looked down spoke from above, and their voices sounded filled with a kind of joy to see the excitement.

These are the veterans of the Senate Special Investigation Team, they were born in the old time and space, they have never heard of this kind of proclamation of holy decrees, and now they saw that there was a proclamation, and they hurriedly shouted and called friends, and soon stood on the camp wall more than 30 people, they condescendingly looked at Ruan Mingfang who was still waiting for someone to come out to receive the decree with an attitude of watching monkey tricks, and Ruan Mingfang suddenly felt furious.

In fact, he didn't have a holy decree for the new army at all, but he just planned to deceive the officers in the new army, and then kill them with random knives, and then lead the forbidden army to rush into the camp and slash them. But he shouted a few times, except for a group of strangely dressed people on the camp wall who watched themselves sing a big show while eating melon seeds, not even a single person came out.

"Isn't it the eunuch who pronounces the decree?" Someone on the camp wall asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Isn't this a eunuch? ”

"Isn't it? How can a eunuch have a beard? ”

"Yes, he has a beard, he must be a fake eunuch, not castrated."

This conversation was purely unconscious chatting, but the voice was very loud, Ruan Mingfang and the forbidden army in the first few rows could hear it clearly, Ruan Mingfang was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he couldn't speak in order to maintain his demeanor, but laughter had begun to quietly come from among the forbidden troops behind him.

"I said the one below, are you a eunuch?" A group of elders became more and more presumptuous, and some people shouted directly at Ruan Mingfang below.

Ruan Mingfang's lungs were about to explode, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "I, Ruan Mingfang, am a third-grade senior officer assigned by the dignified officials to come to Zhancheng to serve as the governor, why is it so unbearable in your mouth?" You wait for a few pawns, why don't you hurry up and find your superiors! ”

"Looking for an official, who has the highest military rank?" Someone up there was talking loudly again.

"I'm a sergeant," "I'm a corpor," "I'm a sergeant,"

"Then it's just you, Brother Bei, and you're an officer."

At this time, Beiwei was lying on the battlement of the camp wall to watch the excitement, and when he saw that someone asked him to take the order, he shook his head busily, "What people want is an officer from Annan, and I am from the Senate, which order do you receive?" ”

"Also," the patriarch who spoke turned around, looked at the new army lined up in three rows below, and shouted inside, "Brother Wen Yu, come here!" They said they had a will. ”

The new troops below were lined up in a three-stage firing formation at the camp gate, and their new company commander, Nguyen Van Ngo, was standing there with a Patton sword in his left hand and a Type 1628 revolver in his right hand. Hearing a veteran officer calling him from above, he hurriedly ran up.

"Tell me to take orders? I only take orders from the princess! He didn't even think about it, and shouted at the bottom.

Ruan Mingfang angrily raised the holy decree that brought the people and unfolded it in front of him, and the forbidden army behind him knelt on the ground, but the people on the camp wall in front of him were still standing, and those who should be lying on their stomachs were still looking on their stomachs, and they didn't react at all.

Beiwei raised his binoculars and looked at the contents of the holy decree himself, and shouted below: "That eunuch below, your holy decree is for Zhancheng Port, not for the new army!" ”
