Such a letter of state would not cause any reaction at all if it was handed over to the traversers, although their external expansion was not enough at this time, but it was still more than enough for self-preservation, especially after the defense of the Eastern Port, they also had a clear understanding of their own strength. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but Annan is different, their army originally belonged to cold weapons, most of the firearms are still from the Wu Dynasty fugitive military households or guards to buy obsolete goods, such weapons to deter some ordinary people is almost the same, against the naval guns on a battleship of the Maidno Navy is already powerless, not to mention that people may come to a fleet. If it weren't for the fact that the Maidno people were not strong in land warfare, I am afraid that they would have occupied a piece of land a long time ago.

In fact, if Nguyen Phuc Yuan could see the princess's recital, he would not be as panicked as he is now, and the princess gave a detailed account of the process of defending the port of Champa and the annihilation of a fleet of Medeno in Dongfang Port trying to seize the port. However, the book was burned by the eunuch Bingbi who was secretly stumbling, and there was not much left of the remnants, and he couldn't understand what was said in it. Now Ruan Fuyuan's head is as messy as a nest of wasps, and he doesn't know what to do.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu knelt and took two steps forward, "I also ask Your Majesty to recall the princess, let the princess apologize to the people of Medenor, and pay compensation to comfort her, otherwise if we wait until the Medeno Navy arrives close to the blockade port, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it!" ”

"Your Majesty, please recall the princess!" The four Shangshu below said in unison with the waiter.

Ruan Fuyuan was completely out of idea now, paced back and forth twice, and finally slapped it heavily on the desk, sighed and said, "Anyway, the New Year will be in a few days, so let's use this excuse to summon the princess back to Beijing." Someone came, and I made the will of the Ministry to prepare to send a governor to take over the port of Champong. ”

The scholars below had joy on their faces, and hurriedly kowtowed in unison and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

============================= divider =============================

As soon as the emperor's will came to the ministry, the door of the ministry was immediately full of people, and although there were not many scholars in Annan, the number of people with merit and fame far exceeded the actual shortage of positions.

At present, I suddenly heard that there was a need for a governor in the port of Champa, and all the people who were qualified and waited for the real shortage immediately lined up at the entrance of the official department, carrying all kinds of exquisite gifts in their hands, or even carrying a box of silver. However, the queue at the front door can never be compared to the queue at the back door, and now the clerk and the servant are in their respective rooms to receive the visitors who come in through the back door, and hang the powerless scholars who line up at the front door.

The officials who came from the back door were all officials who already had official positions, and who in Annan didn't know that the annual tax revenue of Zhancheng Port was one million taels? Who wouldn't want to go to a place like this with oil and water? Not to mention these officials, even the servants themselves want to take this opportunity to go directly to Champa Port to become officials. You must know that the exchange of Champa Port is the entire officialdom, and the old men who are left behind must be princesses, which will definitely cause trouble for them to be greedy for ink and silver, so they must all be pulled down together or sent to other places to be officials, so there are at least hundreds of officials of all sizes who will be sent to Champa Port. Before the port of Champa arrived, these scavengers-like officials were already gearing up to move.

In the past few days, the scholars of various ministries in Hue City have been in great tandem with each other, and they all want to cram more of their own people into the officials who have arranged to go to the port of Cham, and they also want to pull down two more people from others, and in order to strive for a balance, they linger in teahouses and brothels every day, talking and arguing endlessly.

The turmoil in the capital also spread to the port of Champa with the return of the thirty soldiers, who escorted the heads of more than 3,000 barbarians into the capital, and also carried thirty consecutive revolvers, but when they returned, they were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and the weapons in their hands were missing. The princess was taken aback when she learned about this, and hurriedly summoned the commander of these people, Nguyen Van Ngoc.

As soon as Ruan Wenyu came in, he fell to his knees with a puff, tears couldn't stop pouring out, and he cried first when he lay on the ground. Princess Ji has never seen a man so sad, especially this man is still a very capable officer of his own, he has commanded decisively many times in battle, and has gradually been promoted from a non-commissioned officer to the current company commander, but at this time, Ruan Wenyu's face was pale, his expression was decadent, his beard had grown a lot, and he looked extremely haggard, presumably he had been treated extremely unfairly.

It wasn't until she heard Ruan Wenyu almost crying about the process of this trip to the capital that the princess was shocked. It turned out that the head of the barbarian soldiers sent by himself had been burned down by the soldiers and the servants when they were inspected, claiming that they were all killed by the princess's subordinates, and the crime was the same as bullying the king. The pistols sent over were thrown into the pond by the Ministry of Works, and the bullets were also thrown in, saying that they were all waste and could not be used. Nguyen Van Ngoc was angry, and after a few arguments, he was ordered by the military department to be ordered to take off their uniforms and burn them, and all their rifles were confiscated and destroyed on the spot, not even the bayonet was spared, and then he was expelled from Hue City. Fearing a conspiracy, they hurried day and night, and within six days they were able to return to the port of Champa. In fact, he didn't know that the military department Shangshu sent someone to transfer a forbidden army to pursue them behind, intending to kill them, but he didn't expect that this group of new army soldiers who had learned to identify directions and some wild survival fur in the training took a shortcut and happened to avoid the pursuers.

After Ruan Wenyu left, the princess was so confused that she paced around the study a few times, but she couldn't figure out what was going on, and she wanted to talk to someone but didn't know who to go to, so she had to sit down in the study for a long sigh.

As the person in charge of the intelligence agency of Champa Port, Qian Longzhou got the news on the day that Ruan Wenyu's Beijing team returned, and as soon as he heard that these soldiers didn't even have military uniforms with their bare hands when they returned, he secretly said something bad in his heart, and immediately went to the princess's mansion to find the princess.

The princess was worried that no one would discuss this issue, so she heard that someone had reported that the dragon boat was coming, so she immediately summoned him to the study to discuss.

Qian Longzhou is now because he was named the city guard of Zhancheng Port, and he had to wear an official robe of Annan, which was originally the former city guard, but after it was discovered that he had fornicated with Nanban and was removed from his post and investigated, it was in the hands of Qian Longzhou. The original owner was only about 1.52 meters tall, Qian Longzhou was 1.7 meters tall, and others wore a robe that had just exposed his shoes on him, and even his knees were exposed, and the hem of the official robe swayed on his knees, making him feel extremely awkward as if he was wearing a dress. However, such an official robe also has benefits, there are really a lot of things that can be hidden inside, and now he has a holster directly on the combat uniform under his official robe, and the gun is also stuffed inside, and it is impossible to see it from the outside.

When he entered the study, the princess invited him to sit down, and told him in detail what happened to his subordinates when they entered Beijing, and Qian Longzhou was also extremely stunned. Originally, although the port of Zhancheng suffered great losses this time, the result of killing more than 3,000 barbarians was a great victory, and it is said that the heads of the barbarians were exchanged for silver. However, the military department saw it and burned it directly, and the pistol workers who sent it over threw it into the water without even looking at it. Although the Senate was full of controversy over whether or not to sell the pistol to Annan, two hearings had been held for this purpose, and the two sides debated for several days until no decision was reached. But now, the Ministry of Industry of Annan directly said that this was garbage and threw it in the pond, which made Qian Longzhou, who was originally full of superiority from the future, suddenly feel like he was splashed with cold water, and he was so angry that he stood up all of a sudden, and he also circled around the study twice like the princess before.

After two turns, the other person calmed down a lot, and gradually began to think of some strange things. "Princess, I want to ask, first, how much should the head of the barbarian soldiers sent over be worth?"

"This ......," the princess was stunned, "generally speaking, it is one tael of silver, but the household department and the military department will each withhold four pieces of silver, and when it reaches the soldier's hand, it will only be eight pieces of silver." ”

"Then more than 3,000 heads, just do 3,000, that is, 3,000 taels, the household department and the military department can get at least half of it, and the purchasing power of silver in Annam is still relatively high, and they have no reason to throw away the fat meat that is placed in their mouths and not eat it. They burned the head one by one, which means that they are afraid of being found out of the truth, so they have to destroy it in a hurry, after all, there will be no evidence if they are burned. ”

The princess nodded, "I'm also very surprised by such a thing, it stands to reason that neither the household department nor the military department should do such a thing." But Nguyen Van Ngoc will not lie, he must have been burned. ”

"So let's talk about the pistol, you have seen this thing Princess Power, these officials of the Ministry of Industry didn't even want to look at it, so they just threw it into the water, for what?" Qian Longzhou sat back on the stool, "My opinion is that they are full of hostility towards everything that Champa Port has sent over, and this hostility comes from the entire officialdom at all. By the way, princess, how much is the tax paid to the household department every year in this Zhancheng port? ”

"Three hundred taels." The princess replied.

Qian Longzhou was stunned, "So how much was the tax revenue of Zhancheng Port last year?" ”

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand taels." The princess smiled sheepishly.

"This must be the problem, as far as we know, the port of Champa is the largest free port in the whole of Annam, and it is also the port with the largest trading volume, and there is so much income every year, it must be very clear in the capital."

"But this Champa port is my fiefdom, and my father gave me 10,000 taels when I came, and this was just a fishing village at that time. The development of the entire Champa port has not contributed to the capital at all. The princess couldn't help but argue.

"But those officials won't care, they see that you earn so much, they want a piece of the pie, if they can't get a share, they will pull you down and push their officials up," Qian Longzhou smiled, "Since Zhancheng Port is a fief, it can be taken back, princess, you develop this place in their eyes like a pig, and when you fatten up, it's time to kill, believe it or not, the edict to recall you must be on the way, and it will definitely come to you in the next few days." At that time, it was a good time for this group of officials to have a meal on the big cake of Champa Port. ”
