In front of Hoi An Port, a naval soldier came down from the warships of the Nanyang Fleet. This naval soldier had more than 1,000, mainly naval soldiers trained by land combat. The Nanyang Fleet was stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture and has not been in vain for military pay in recent years. The quality of soldiers is rapidly improving.

Nanyang Fleet Commander Deng Qianlong put a treaty signed by Nguyen Phuc Yuan into a box and handed it over to the guards.

"Master Ruan, I see your sincerity. Our Nanyang Fleet will do our best to help you regain Fuchun City and stop the Zheng family's ambitions." Deng Qianlong bowed to Ruan Phucyuan.

"I have to believe you." Ruan Phuket, who was wrinkled, pulled his wrinkled face a few times, and his heart was cut.

This "Hoi An Port Treaty" was the first unequal treaty signed by the Ruan family in history. The Nanyang Fleet needed to help the Ruan family regain the lost Fuchun City and prevent the Zheng family from launching a detour landing. The Ruan family needed to open Hoi An Port as one of the military ports of the Nanyang Fleet in the Nanyang waters. In addition, Hoi An Port will always be open to Chinese merchants. In addition, Hoi An Port will be used as a bargaining chip, the Ruan family also agreed to the rights of the Jiuzhou Army to build railways in Annan Kingdom, the right to set up private schools and book publishing rights, and other privileges that seem to have no direct impact on the Ruan family's regime. After all, Nguyen Phucyuan has never seen what the railway looks like now, so he can only have a rough understanding based on the description of the Annan Kingdom merchants, and then he has to sign the treaty. If it delays, Zheng's Imperial Army will soon break through the Changdeluo defense line and drive straight down. At that time, the Jiuzhou Army will be out of reach.

For Ruan Phuket, the price this time was too heavy. Not only the above privileges, the Ruan family also owed the Jiuzhou Army 500,000 military expenses, together with the one million taels of silver purchased from the firearms, a total of one million taels of silver. For the Ruan family, which has a population of more than 600,000, this is simply an astronomical figure, equivalent to 2.5 taels of silver in each person’s debt...

"Ruan Youyi, I appointed you as the general of the fight against the thieves. I will lead two thousand rebels gathered in Hoi'an Port to equip the best firearms purchased from the Celestial Empire and regain Fuchun City with the troops of the Celestial Empire!" Nguyen Phuc said to Ruan Youyi, who was on the envoy to Guangzhou Prefecture.

"Yes, my subordinates will not let down the trust of the Lord and swear to regain Fuchun City to capture all the rebels!" Ruan Youyi was valued by Lord Ruan, and was grateful and knelt on the ground like worshiping gods.

Deng Qianlong stood aside, but was not moved by the scene where the Ruan family's monarch and ministers were united. Instead, he was worried that the two thousand rebels of the Ruan family would be teammates who were dragging their legs: "Your soldiers have not been trained, so they should use our firearms, right?"

"Please rest assured General Deng. Before receiving assistance from the Jiuzhou Army, our soldiers were trained by officers from the Folang Ji Kingdom and were equipped with a batch of Folang cannons and mesh rope guns." Ruan Youyi immediately retorted when he saw Deng Qianlong doubting the combat effectiveness of his national troops.

"This is OK." Deng Qianlong nodded with satisfaction.

In order to control the firearms exported, the power of the firearms exported by the Jiuzhou Army is similar to that of the Western firearms in this era. If the soldiers of the Ruan family already have the ability to use the Flang machine firearms, they will soon be able to skillfully use this batch of firearms that support Annan.

After confirming that the two thousand rebels led by Ruan Youyi had combat effectiveness, Deng Qianlong said to Sun Xu, the captain of the Dazhao, "I will personally lead the fleet north to Rilihaikou and join forces with the Ruan Navy to stop the Zheng Navy from going to the rear of Changdeli. The battle on the land will be handed over to you. These more than a thousand soldiers are the soldiers who are the best at land warfare in our Nanyang Fleet. I don't want many of them to fall on land in foreign lands."

"Yes! My subordinates will definitely recover Fuchun City at the lowest cost! The military leader said that the most powerful infantry in the world is the infantry of our Jiuzhou Army, and the second most powerful infantry is our turn to the navy!" Sun Xu respectfully accepted Deng Qianlong's order.

Military orders are like mountains, and even naval soldiers are still not afraid when they should go to land to attack the tough!

"You only sent more than a thousand soldiers on land. Are you confident of capturing Fuchun City? Fuchun City has a solid city wall and a moat surrounded by moats..." Ruan Phuket asked suspiciously.

"A mere Fuchun City has only a few thousand rebels. If more than 1,000 soldiers of our Nanyang Fleet and two thousand of your rebels equipped with our aid can't recover it, the officers and soldiers of our Nanyang Fleet lined up and jumped into the sea of ​​the Nanyang Fleet." Sun Xu, the captain of the Dazhao, was full of passion.

Nguyen Phucyuan seemed to feel Sun Xu's strong confidence and no longer questioned the capabilities of the Nanyang Fleet.

"Mr. Ruan doesn't have to worry, good steel should be used on the blade. The main battlefield of our Nanyang Fleet is on this spacious Nanyang Sea. Even if the army fails, as long as the navy defeats the Zheng family naval division and occupys the Rili Haikou, the enemy's army attacking Changdelei will be trapped in a situation where they are attacked by enemies and have to retreat. Fuchun City will only become an isolated city at that time. Master Ruan, you have enough time to catch turtles in the jar." Deng Qianlong said.

"The lives of our Ruan family are all handed over to you three." The elderly Ruan Phucyuan said to Deng Qianlong, Sun Xu and Ruan Phucyuan.

The blue dragon flag with its teeth and claws fluttered in the air, which symbolized the first time that the Jiuzhou Navy was flying on the land of Annan Kingdom, and the dragon symbolized the supreme position of the Celestial Empire in the Chinese cultural circle.

"Line!" Sun Xu temporarily handed over the Da Zhao to the ship's deputy commander, and he served as the commander of the temporary Annan Expeditionary Force.

Originally, in Chu Yun's plan, the Annan Kingdom Expeditionary Force should have been the independent corps trained in Guilin and Kunming, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The Nanyang Fleet that came to Annan Kingdom became the first land expeditionary force, and this expeditionary force had only more than 1,000 people, and took two thousand indigenous people to fight against thousands of other indigenous people.

More than a thousand naval soldiers came from different ships, but even if they were temporarily formed, they were still in order.

This made Ruan Youyi, who was carrying the rebels from all over the Ruan family forces, couldn't help but be envious. In contrast, the Ruan family's rebels, who were also pieced together, not only had different clothes, but also had a chaotic team, basically following their own leaders. The only neat thing was probably the flintlock guns and artillery collected from the cargo ships of the South China Fleet.

The Ruan family is not without decent troops, but they all fought bloody battles with the Zheng family's Royal Guards and the Dutch mercenaries on the Changdelei front.

"Set off!"
Chapter completed!
