Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 174: Governor of sea defence

Annan followed the Ming and Qing system and led civilians under the command of civilian officials. Governor Li Yu of Haiphong Province was originally the governor of Shanxi Province. After destroying Xie Wenfeng, a local peasant in Annan, he was promoted to Governor of Haiphong due to his merits. defense.

Five days ago, just after Li Yu sent a group of French missionaries away, he saw his next aide came to see him.

"Sir, there are important things to report to adults."

"Hurry up and say something, my official doesn't have time to listen to your nonsense!" Just after getting angry from the French, Li Yu didn't look good.

"Baidu has been informed that the Tang armed forces have continuously gathered in the area of ​​Halong in recent months. According to subordinates' investigations, the Tang people gathered in Halong have exceeded 10,000 people. The Tang people have assembled on a large scale. They are worried that they have other plans." .

"Didn't the Tang people say hello half a month ago? They were hired by the Brazilian nation of the Americas to specifically invite the Tang people in Annan to work in South America. You also know why these things are so fuss."

Sun Bin bribed Annan local officials. Naturally, Li Yu's money was indispensable. He collected the money and worked for others. Li Yu himself held the status of a scholar and was more compliant with the promised things, so he was very dissatisfied with the staff who disturbed him.

"Adults are busy with affairs, and they usually do n’t dare to bother adults. But this group of Chinese people is not as simple as businessmen on the surface. Since their arrival in Halong last month, businessmen have not only recruited Tang rebels, but also brought food and food through large ships. Weapons and materials were compiled for the Tang people to become strong soldiers. In less than one month, Tang's son Sun Bin had thousands of young people and more than a thousand muskets.

My lord, the Tang Dynasty recruits and trains soldiers. "

"Are you telling the truth!"

"The truth of the humble job, if there is a half-sentence, I would rather be disposed of by military law!"

The staff member said rightly.

"Okay, my official Po, Er, and other Tang people resisted the righteous actions of the prisoners, at the risk of offending Manchu's sister-in-law, and accepted you with good intentions. However, they did not know what to do, but they followed the Tatar's intention to rebel.

Li Yu's complexion was obviously stimulated by the news he heard, but his performance fell into the eyes of the aides, but it was a different look. The Tang rebels fled into Annan not because the officials kindly accepted it, but defeated the siege of Annan. The military forces the other party to acquiesce to the fact that the peasant army is armed.

The staff did not remind the governor that the siege of Wu Yazhong ’s armed failure last year, but followed his words: "The leader of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Bin, recruited soldiers without permission and had a bad intention. The adults should immediately send soldiers to crusade and remove the kingdom. The scourge, after annihilating the Tang people in this way, the Huoma adults in Hue will certainly admire the adults for their leadership and recommend the adults to serve in Central Korea. "

Haiphong Province is the main gateway to the north of Annan. After the signing of the first "Saigon Treaty", Haiphong was opened as a port of commerce. Although Li Yu's role as governor of Haiphong is superficial, he faces French and naturalized Annan Christians. It ’s hard to say that if you do n’t do it well, you will rebuke Hue ’s court if you do n’t do well. Therefore, Li Yu did n’t want to stay in Haiphong to suffer the crime. .

Huang Jiyan was in charge of the affairs in the northern and southern provinces of Annan. There were not many officials in Wu Shuangquan, so he rejected Li Yu's request and comforted him to stay in Haiphong to serve the country. When the situation in the northern provinces was stable, he was transferred back.

Because of a word from Huang Jiyan, Li Yu had to continue to nest in Haiphong Province, and now a group of non-Tang forces in Guang'an Province are engulfed. When he saw the hope of returning to the court, he also brought anxiety.

Annan's domestic military strength is slack and soldiers' combat capabilities are low. In the course of combat with the French army, 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers often can't match two hundred opposing troops.

The Annan army has repeatedly defeated, but it cannot defeat the French, the remnants of the peasant army living in the territory, or even the local rebels. Finally, it requested the Qing army to enter the battle and reluctantly calm the domestic peasant uprising.

Holding such an army under his hands, Li Yu was not very confident that he would be able to defeat the armed forces of the Tang people who had entrenched Ha Long.

Seeing the hesitation on his adult's face, the staff member felt that his opportunity was coming and hurriedly said: "The adult can ask the court to send General Guangxi Governor General Feng to send troops to help siege the Tang armed forces, so the rebel forces in Halong region You can do it all in one go. "

"No, the invitation to the Qing army to enter the thieves last time has caused the French to be dissatisfied. If the Qing army is again requested to enter the customs for assistance, the French will be afraid to tear up the" Saigon Treaty "and fully attack the kingdom."

Li Yu refused to invite the Qing army to enter, because the French attitude was jealous. On the one hand, it was the distrust of the Qing army. The Qing army inherited the system of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Each time it fought, it would plunder the place to boost the morale of the troops. Therefore, although the Qing army entered the Vietnam Army last year to destroy the insurgent forces in Annan, the people they were in suffered from the place where they passed. The young women were violently robbed. When the Qing army withdrew from the country and the looted Annan people joined the absconding rebel forces, the security situation in the northern provinces still did not improve. Asking the Qing army to enter the customs is a double-sword. Until the last minute, neither Li Yu nor the Hue court will choose this path.

Excluding the option of the Qing army to enter, there was only one way in front of Li Yu, relying on the strength of the Annan army to encircle the Tang forces.

Li Yu is in charge of the troops of Haiphong and Guang'an provinces. The number of soldiers that can be dispatched is about 10,000. Ten thousand people can deal with one or two thousand Chinese armed forces in Li Yu's eyes. Both sides need to be dispatched if they want to achieve a large victory rate. army.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yu decided to plead with his colleague, the current Governor of Haiyang, Ruan Keshu, to borrow the soldiers, and settled in his mind. Now he said: "I want to borrow four thousand soldiers from Hainan Governor Ruan Keshu. People go down and arrange. "

The staff advised Li Yu to send troops to destroy Sun Bin's troops. Naturally, it was not for the sake of Annan ’s court. He heard that Li Yu was going to borrow troops from other officials, and he did not care about concealing. Bin is worth a lot of money, and he has a lot of gold and silver in Halong Ying's village. If the adult asks Governor Haiyang for help, can gold and silver fall into the hands of adults? "

"Halong really stores a lot of gold?" The word gold came to the ear, and Li Yu was instantly calm. The golden age of the antique and chaotic times in Hue, the internal and external problems of the Hue court were serious. It was the consensus of officials at all levels in Annan to take advantage of power. Otherwise, Sun Bin would not be so easy to buy and sell Guang'an officials.

The staff was close to Li Yu and received a bribe from Sun Bin, but compared with ordinary officials, he was more greedy and wanted to rely on Li Yu's forces to swallow the money of Sun Bin and others.

The staff did not want Sun Bin and others to have a lot of gold and silver. More people know about it ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ immediately encouraged: "Don't conceal the Lord, the leader of the Tang and Shang dynasty just arrived in Halong, and found that they were wrong, so they specifically Instructed several small officials near Halong to stare secretly. Three days ago, the Tang fleet accidentally dropped a box when unloading, revealing the hidden gold. At that time, the Tang who was responsible for carrying the box hurriedly put the gold away. , But it was still seen by those who were humbled. "

"There is gold in one box. How can I tell if the other boxes are also gold?"

"There are multiple boxes of gold hidden in other boxes. I don't know how to do it, but adults think about it. The Tang people don't feel bad about spending money to provide tens of thousands of food and materials and bribe officials with tens of thousands of silver. Will they have less money? "

"What you said makes sense, too." Li Yu thought of the 520 gold in the back house of the governor's office. According to his understanding, bribing him alone cost so much gold, dozens of officials from Guang'an Province, the same number. No small, thinking of the gold and silver shipped from the ship, Li Yu's eyes glowed immediately.

"The opportunity is not lost, and the loss will not come again. There are still 5,000 or 6,000 local patrols in Haiphong and Guang'an Provinces. They will be recruited together. Can the 17,000 troops still not be able to hold the 2,000 Tang rebels?"

Li Yu's confidence increased greatly when the staff spoke, thinking of Huang Chengcheng's gold in Halongying Village, his courage also increased.

"It is my official duty to rob the bandits. My official decided to personally lead the army of the two provinces, level off the armed forces of the Halong and Tang dynasties, and return the people of Guang'an to a glorious future."

Huge amounts of wealth are at hand, and at this risk, Li Yu feels very worthwhile.

The decision was made, and a messenger carrying Li Yu's handwriting went to the military stations of the two provinces to gather large army forces. On the other side, Sun Bin, who was troubled by the matter, did not expect that in order to avoid trouble, extra money and bribes were brought to others to spy.
