"The North Kou is coming, the North Kou is coming!"

On the battlefield around Nanding, a huge shout like a tsunami sounded, and the panic and noise reached the extreme. From the eyes of Ruan Zhifang, a scholar of the Great Southern Qinzheng Palace, and Ruan Zhifang, the six provinces of Beiqi, he was already bloody.

On the high ground where he is located, the flag of the king of Ruan is still fluttering. But when I looked around, there was only a tragic situation of defeat like a mountain. On the wide battlefield, there were high and low pillars of smoke ploughed by the Ming army's artillery fire everywhere. The gray waves of the Ming army slapped on the crowd of the Vietnamese army in waves. On one position after another, the flags of the commanders, commanders, guards, commanders, soldiers and horses, and Guan Qi have all been overturned. Vietnamese soldiers wearing bamboo hats. Like an ant's nest in water, I saw the sea of people rolling and retreating violently.

After the Ming army dispersed the Vietnamese elephants with artillery, they launched an attack on the whole front, and those who rushed to the front were the elite armed with fast guns. The rifle in their hands has long exceeded the imagination of the Vietnamese army, and they can shoot accurately from a distance of two or three hundred paces! What shocked the Vietnamese even more was the rate of fire and the way the rifle was fired – the bullet was actually stuffed through the butt of the rifle, and the rate of fire was at least 5 times higher than that of a smoothbore gun! Several times the effective range combined with several times the rate of fire turns a war into a one-sided bloody massacre. Vietnam's Jing soldiers, strange soldiers, and brave soldiers only had the fate of being wantonly shot in front of the Ming army! Under such a massacre, the spirit of the Vietnamese army quickly collapsed, and at first there was no effective resistance, but later, almost as soon as the guns rang out, the whole line retreated!

Ruan Zhifang had already sent all his personal soldiers out of the army, and lined up in front of his Chinese army banner, all of whom held steel knives. I want to stop the rout of the brigade. But these routs were blocked. But he no longer had the courage to go back and resist. Even if you have such courage, you will die in vain! The sound of crying and shouting was mixed in one place, and it shook the world.

"How can this be, how can this be ......"

Ruan Zhifang was unconscious, and just muttered to himself: "More than 200,000 people, at least more than 200,000...... Why did you lose it, and you lost so badly! What's going on! My Da Nan has neither fainted the king and misled the country, nor has he been a traitor. All of them are governing the country according to the principles of the saints, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a peaceful and prosperous world, so why is it vulnerable? Why are you going to die!? ”

At this time, the bullets had already swept past Ruan Zhifang, and several pro-soldiers and generals were knocked down. There were also many people who flocked to him: "My lord, there is no way now, retreat!" ”

Before Ruan Zhifang could speak, he heard a louder shouting and clamor erupt from the battle lines on both sides of the battlefield. When he turned his head to look, he saw that his left and right flanks had collapsed, and the large groups of routs had retreated like a torrent. The banner of the Ming army was planted on the original position of the Vietnamese army. They advanced so fast that they had already outflanked both flanks of the Vietnamese army. It's starting to threaten the back of the Vietnamese army!

And on the opposite side of Nguyen Chi Fang, he saw the two wings of the Vietnamese army collapse. 200,000 people crowded into a pile, crying and shouting and screaming, Luo Zenan hesitated and put forward his own suggestion: "Your Majesty, this is more than 200,000 people......

Zhu Jishi glanced at him: "If you don't kill them, you must raise them, not only to raise the 200,000 here, but also to raise their children and grandchildren, and the descendants of these people will never be grateful for the kindness of our women!" ”

Luo Zenan was stunned for a moment, but then said: "There are no less than millions of indigenous people in the north of Vietnam, do you really want to slaughter them?" I am the country of Chinese etiquette, when will there be ......"

Zhu Jishi snorted and said leisurely: "The people of my Chinese ceremonial state have killed tens of thousands of people for the Wuhu, Jurchen, Mongolia, and Manchuria!" Do you allow others to kill the people of the country of Chinese etiquette, and not allow me to kill people from other countries? What kind of etiquette is this? ”

Luo Zenan muttered: "After all, slaughtering the people of a country will inevitably be the people of tyrants, and the gentry of the world are all reading the books of sages and sages......"

Zhu Jishi's head shook like a rattle, why didn't these gentry who read the books of sages treat their own people so kindly? Could it be that their benevolence is both external and internal? These fools don't want to think that if they kill one less native now, they and their descendants will have to occupy more land, and Chinese will have one less piece of land...... In the future, perhaps there will be one more Chinese proletariat who has no ground to stand on to oppose you, the gentry and landlords who are benevolent and righteous! Fortunately, he was not killed this time, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have relied on these gentry to govern, and sooner or later it would be the second Ruan Dynasty!

Luo Zenan saw the anger on Zhu Jishi's face, and thought that he wanted to kill people to vent his anger because he was assassinated by the Vietnamese, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful of trapped beasts, I only have more than 20,000 people today, the brigade has not arrived, and the enemy is more than 200,000. It's better to avoid the death of the enemy, how about Xu Tu's revenge? ”

Zhu Jishi sighed, how could he not know Luo Zenan's thoughts? But since the other party is right, then he should listen. He nodded and said, "In that case, who can persuade the envoy to surrender?" ”

Duke Pakang of Siam knew some Chinese, and could barely understand the conversation between Zhu Jishi and Luo Zenan, and stepped forward to recommend himself: "Your Majesty, please allow me to meet the commander of the Yue people as your envoy." ”

Zhu Jishi looked at these Siamese people: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll bother Mr. Lao." ”

Now Siam and Da Nan are not in a state of war, and they are considered neutral countries, and Duke Pacan is just the right person to intervene.

At this time, the situation on the front line changed again, and a regiment of Ming infantry finally penetrated into the rear of the Vietnamese army, blocking the official road from Nanding to Thanh Hoa, and barely completed the encirclement.

After getting the news that the back road was cut off by the Ming army, Ruan Zhifang's face was like ashes, and he stood on a high place in a daze, looking at the Vietnamese army that had lost its organization: "Da Nan is finished, Da Nan is really going to be finished, what else can I do?" The French are in the south, and the Ming people are in the north, and they all want to force me to death! ”

Before the words fell, the group had already broken through the chaotic rout of the army tide and rushed straight towards Ruan Zhifang. Ruan Zhifang looked at it, it turned out to be Zhang Denggui, a scholar of the Civilization Palace, and a few men dressed as Siamese nobles, and rushed to Ruan Zhifang: "Tang Chuan, defeated!" You've got to get an idea! I brought the messenger of the Northern Kor, the Duke of Pakon of Siam......"

"Duke Pacan?" Ruan Zhifang glanced at Duke Pakang, who was following Zhang Denggui, "What else is there to talk about at this point?" It is nothing more than a death to repay the country. ”

Duke Pakang can also speak some Vietnamese, and he has already talked to Zhang Denggui, Zhang Denggui sighed and said to Ruan Zhifang: "Tang Chuan, the great tomorrow is safe and sound, and he has been provoked, and he wants to kill more than 200,000 people here to vent his anger." Duke Pacan did not want to see our Great South weakened too much, so he volunteered to come and persuade him to surrender. ”

Ruan Zhifang sneered: "When did the Siamese people become so kind? ”

Duke Pacan shook his head and said, "Lips and teeth are cold! If Da Nan dies, will I still be able to survive in Siam? ”

Ruan Zhifang sighed: "Can Danan still not die?" ”

Duke Pacan said seriously: "Yes! The Ming Dynasty only wanted the fertile land of Beiqi, and the French still needed the cooperation of the Ruan Dynasty to govern Nanqi, so the French would not cut off the Ruan Dynasty...... There is still hope for the Nguyen Dynasty! ”

Ruan Zhifang sighed: "I believe that the French are endless, but do the 200,000 people here still have a way to live?" Emperor Beikou is not the fury of thunder, can he really spare them? ”

Duke Pacan said: "The death penalty is forgivable, but the living crime is unforgivable...... The Son of Heaven may have to sell 200,000 of your people into slavery in the United States! ”

"To the United States!?" Ruan Zhifang snorted, "If you go tens of thousands of miles, where is there a day to survive?" ”

Duke Pacan said sympathetically: "Yes, how can you come back after going so far...... Why don't you do this, let me redeem them at the expense of the Kingdom of Siam, let them go to Siam to work for a few years, and then return to Da Nan when the situation is stable? ”

"To Siam?" Nguyen Zhifang knew that Siam was a slave, and these 200,000 people went to Siam to be slaves!

"It's better to be a slave in Siam than to be a slave in the United States, right?" Duke Pacan sighed again, "Siamese people believe in Buddhism, where can they be as vicious as American white ghosts?" Besides, Siam Da Nan is a country of lips and teeth, and if there is an opportunity in the future, these 200,000 people will be 200,000 restored troops! If you want to go to the United States, will you be able to swim back? ”

Hearing this, Ruan Zhifang nodded silently, and Duke Pakang said again: "Moreover, my lord has heard about the talents of Lord Ruan and Master Zhang for a long time, and the two of you will definitely be treated as guests by our lord when they arrive in Siam." (To be continued......)
