When he woke up, Deng Fei still felt a little dizzy. A faint scent of nanmu mixed with perfume and powder made him feel uncomfortable.

He was about to turn over and get up in confusion when he heard a female voice in a Minnan accent outside the curtain, saying softly: "Sir, are you awake? I'll give you water and wash it up now."

I? Deng Fei's mind suddenly stumbled, and his first reaction was me!

It was the fourth day that the group of people from Beihai Town came to Jiading Bagua City. Ruan Phoenix was hospitalized every day. He said a lot of gratitude, but he almost killed the chicken head and burned yellow paper with Deng Fei, calling him brother. When he learned that Deng Fei was over thirty and had not yet married, Ruan Phoenix even proposed to betroth his eldest daughter Ruan Yuzhu to the other party. When he heard that the beautiful princess was only nine years old, Deng Fei didn't breathe and almost choked to death by the wine!

The gauze curtain at the head of the bed was lifted up by a pair of white plain hands and hung on the golden dragon head hook. At this time, the sunlight hit the man from the side. Deng Fei saw clearly that the woman was beautiful, with dark eyebrows and white skin, and a snow-white plain clothes. When she turned around, she could see that her waist was only one holder.

For a moment, Deng Fei was a little dazed.

"Bang!Bang!..."

At the same time, in the martial arts field in Bagua City, King Nguaan Ngua Ying, holding the "Type 84" revolver given to him by Deng Fei, shot continuously at a wooden target twenty meters away. Behind him were several French officers and several generals from Guangnan.

Nguyen Phuc Ying started out with martial arts and used a good shotgun, and his shooting skills were also good. The silver-plated revolver that Deng Fei gave when he first met made Nguyen Phuc Ying love. After yesterday's officer of the North Navy who taught him how to load and shoot, he brought his hands down to test the gun early this morning. After the initial discomfort caused by recoil, Nguyen Phuc Ying quickly mastered the shooting skills and put the gun on the target.

Without Beihai Town, the world's first revolver would have been around forty years before it appeared, so the shock this thing brought to Guangnan monarchs and ministers can be imagined. As for the white smoke caused by gunpowder gas leakage, it is not a problem. The smoke from the flintlock gun when firing is much heavier than this.

Seeing Nguyen Phuc Ying scattering six bullets in an instant, everyone behind him was shocked. Among these people, not only were five French officers recruited by Peter, but also Deng Chenchang, Nguyen Wencheng, Wu Wenxing, Li Wenyue and others.

Philip Vanie said excitedly: "Master Ruan, we must get such a weapon! With this, your troops will be more wings! Our navy will no longer be afraid of those Western bandits when jumping to the gang in close combat!"

This is the captain of the largest warship of the Guangnan Navy, "Feng Fei". The predecessor of the Fengfei was the third-level battleship that Peter was going to come from the local governor. Although the ship was large, it was equipped with pitifully few weapons. Except for only a few cannons, the muskets were less than 30 shots. At this level of equipment, when facing the Qianli Guang ship of the Xishan Navy, it could only run away with a few cannons.

Li Wenyue, who was standing beside him, shook his head and said, "It's hard! Lord Ruan doesn't know that Admiral Deng completely refused the sale of weapons, saying that without the permission of His Highness Zhao, no weapons would be sold."

"I don't know what kind of person the King of Zhao is, who can actually train such a strong army and create a divine object like Thor." Nguyen Phuc Ying sighed, handed the pistol to another French officer, and asked kindly: "Ruan Zhangqi, can this gun be imitated?"

The Frenchman he called "Zhangqi" was named Victor Olivier de Pimanuel, and Annan was named "Nantuet Vincent".

"Zhangqi" is the official position of Annan's second-rank military officer, similar to the deputy general of the Qing Dynasty. The official positions granted by several French officers recruited by Nguyen Phuc Ying to Peter were all "Zhangqi".

Pimanuel is a construction engineer. He had volunteered on French warships before joining Nguyen Phuc Ying. The Bagua City in Jiading was built by him in accordance with the theory of French Marshal Vaubon. This man not only knows how to build a city, but also presides over the European-style training of Nguyen Phuc Ying's army. He is considered a military versatile talent.

At present, due to the lack of food and weapons, Pimanuel has only 300 new-style army under his command. In history, this person trained Nguyen Phuc Ying a total of 50,000 troops. These soldiers were wearing hats, wearing British-style uniforms, performing European-style military salutes, and then barefoot...

Pimanuel took the pistol and looked carefully, then picked up the bullets, fire hats and other objects in the box for a while, shook his head and said, "Master Ruan, the structure of this weapon is extremely precise. For example, this bullet casing is completely cut with a piece of steel with a tool. Not to mention Jiading, even local governance cannot be made. The technology of these Chinese people is really too advanced!"

After hearing this, Nguyen Phuc Ying frowned and said to Li Wenyue, who was in charge of the negotiations: "We need to talk to Admiral Deng again about this matter, and we must let them sell some weapons no matter what."

Li Wenyue said: "King, I heard from Admiral Deng that their King Zhao is now fighting with Oros in the extreme north. Even if it is connected, it will take half a year. It will take at least one year to go back and forth."

"What?! Those Chinese are going to war with the Tsarist Russian Empire!"

Li Wenyue said: "Yes. The Admiral Deng just mentioned a few words in the chat. They had fought with Oros for several years and have now seized a large area of ​​land, which is said to be thousands of miles from east to west, south and north to north. However, those place names and people's names sounded really difficult to remember, and I didn't remember a few. It seemed that a marshal named "Rutsev" was also beaten to death by them and captured tens of thousands of people."

Several French officers were shocked when they heard the news. Although they had defected to Nguyen Phuc Ying, they were all French after all. Such a big thing happened in Tsarist Russia, which would definitely have a serious impact on the situation in Europe.

Jean Baptiste Mali Dayo, who was in charge of the Guangnan Navy, bowed slightly to Nguyen Phuc Ying and said, "Dear Lord Nguyen, please allow me to meet with that General Deng. I want to ask him about this matter carefully, and then I will send the situation to the French Governor's Office, which is governed locally."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Yes." Nguyen Phuc Ying also wants to learn more about the background of Beihai Town.

The power of this sudden emergence made Nguyen Phuc Ying feel a little scared. Just hearing the experience of Beihai Town defeating the Qing army several times from Jiang Fan shocked the civil and military officials in Guangnan.

Speaking of which, the reputation of the Eight Banners soldiers had already spread throughout Southeast Asia with the Qing-Myanmar War that year. Although Ruan Guangping defeated Sun Shiyi's Green Camp troops, when he learned that Qianlong sent the Eight Banners soldiers to the south, he immediately surrendered and negotiated peace, and acted as if he was "lying flat".

When the Qing army attacked Laoguantun, Myanmar, 18,000 Qing army defeated tens of thousands of elite Burmese troops armed by the French in the field, and even thousands of French mercenaries fled. So afterwards, all Southeast Asian countries knew that fighting a field battle with the Qing army would be a death!

But Beihai Town actually lost one. He dared to use thousands of people to fight tens of thousands of Qing troops in the field. He fought more than once, and he won a big victory every time. This is just like listening to the heavenly book, which is incredible!

As for Ruan Phoeing's heart, he was both happy and worried. What he was happy was that he could have such a force to help him, and it would be much easier to deal with the Xishan Dynasty army; what he was worried about was that once Beihai Town had a mind to Annan in the future, how should he deal with it?

He had already considered it and planned to start the spring monsoon next year. In any case, he would send an envoy north to visit the legendary "King of Zhao" and explore the true strength of Beihai Town.

In the past few days, Ruan Phoe Ying and his men struggled to win over the "Admiral Deng". Since his nine-year-old daughter was not good, he asked his ministers to choose a woman with good looks and talent among the Mingxiang people in Jiading. Taking advantage of the fact that Deng Fei got drunk yesterday, he sent her to serve him. If the other party was not satisfied, he would be in poverty.

At this time, in the courtyard in the palace that was specially futile for Deng Fei, a sixteen-year-old girl stood aside and helped Deng Fei serve congee and vegetables. Deng Fei was single in recent years and often lived on the boat, so he was used to it. There was someone he didn't know standing by his side, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After drinking two bowls of porridge, Deng Fei put down the bowl, wiped it with a scarf, and asked the woman: "Uh...a girl's surname?"

"Submitted to Chen." The woman's voice was soft and glutinous, very nice.

"Are the girl a native? Tang people?"

"It's a Tang Dynasty man, his ancestor Yiluogong."

What is Yiluogong? Deng Fei had never heard of it before. He pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Girl, let's sit down, let's chat for a while. You stand and I sit, it's not good."

The woman raised her mouth slightly, thinking that the man was so interesting that she was so tight that she walked to the chair opposite and sat openly, but her upper body was still facing Deng Fei, and her head was slightly lowered to show that there was something between men and women.

During the later chat, Deng Fei learned that Miss Chen was a descendant of the Mingxiang people in Jiading. Her ancestral home is Gaozhou, Guangdong. The Emperor of Yiluo, who was famous in Annan history, was Chen Shangchuan.

Chen Shangchuan was a scholar during the Chongzhen period. After the Qing army entered the pass, he first joined the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was later appointed by Zheng Chenggong as the general of Gao, Lian and Lei. After the Three Feudal Rebellion, Chen Shangchuan was unwilling to become a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, so he and his deputy general Chen Anping led 3,000 people to Tuoyan Port on fifty warships (Danang, north of Hoi'an).

At that time, Guangnan was reclaiming the south, so Chen Shangchuan and another overseas Chinese leader Yang Yandi went to the Bianhe area in the south and pioneered the Dingxiang area. Some of the three thousand tribes led by Chen Shangchuan stayed in Hui'an to settle down. These people were the ancestors of the Mingxiang people in Annan, namely the "Ten Olds" and "Six Surnames" mentioned earlier.

Chen Shangchuan was named the Marquis of Shengcai and the Governor of Jiading by the Ruan Lord at that time. After decades of operation, the Jiading area became increasingly prosperous. It not only changed from a swamp to a land of fish and rice, but also became a trade transfer station in Southeast Asia. In 1720, Chen Shangchuan died at the age of 90. Local people and locals admired their merits and established temples to sacrifice. They have been incense for decades.

However, even such a family could not escape during the "Jiading Massacre". Fortunately, the Chen family had great achievements. The female family who went to Hexian Mansion due to war escaped, while none of the ten men who remained in Jiading were killed.

The Northern Navy's actions of attacking Hue and Hoi An made the Chinese in Jiading grateful and made the Chen family breathe a sigh of relief. However, even if they wanted to make friends, they could not say that they would give their daughters, because Deng Fei was just a warrior in their eyes. If Nguyen Phoe had not asked his important minister Li Guangding to come forward to beg, the Chen family would not have sent this young daughter here no matter what.

After chatting with Miss Chen for a while, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning. According to yesterday's agreement, another hour will be the day to sign a formal contract with Guangnan.

At this time, Jiang Fan had already finished washing up. When he came to the yard, he saw that breakfast was ready, so he hurriedly sat down and started eating.

Deng Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Ziping, I drank until midnight yesterday, right?"

Jiang Fan held the bowl and glanced at Miss Chen standing behind Deng Fei, but smiled and said nothing.

He has been glorious these days. When he first met Nguyen Phucing on the first day, he learned that Jiang Fan was a master of Confucianism in Jiangnan and had now joined the army. The monarchs and ministers in Guangnan were respectful. Nguyen Phucing treated him with courtesy and even hoped that Jiang Fan could accept disciples in Jiading to teach.

In recent days, Jiang Fan not only discussed the classical poems and allusions with Ruan Phoenix's important officials Li Guangding, Wu Congzhou, Zheng Huaide, Wu Renjing and others, but also visited the three teachers Wu Changzhang.

This 81-year-old man was an unparalleled figure in Annan history. He was also a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. His ancestors immigrated to Jiading in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. He was young and intelligent, with noble ambitions, but he was born at the wrong time and encountered the Xishan Uprising. Wu Changzhang gave up his official position and lived in seclusion to teach his disciples. Many of his disciples became famous officials in the Ruan Dynasty in the future.

When he learned that Jiang Fan was from Gu Yanwu's lineage and learned from Hui Dong, a master of classics, Wu Chang Zhang actually held the other party's hand and called himself a missed scholar. In the subsequent conversation, he admired Jiang Fan's knowledge very much.

Jiang Fan said that his knowledge was really nothing. At present, Wang Rongfu, Hong Junzhi, Liu Duanlin and others under King Zhao were all famous talents all over the world. They were even more than many times better than themselves in their knowledge. They were so fascinated by Wu Changzhang’s disciple. Even everyone in Beihai Town could take such a classical scholar under his command. The King of Zhao was unknown.

Deng Fei did not expect that Jiang Fan, who was just a small adviser, could actually make Nguyen Phucing's monarch and ministers value him so much. It seems that he was really the right one to take him with him this time.

On January 15, 1791, Deng Fei, on behalf of Beihai Town and King Nguyen Phuying of Guangnan, officially signed an agreement in the main palace of the palace located in Bagua City, known in history as the "Jiading Treaty". The two parties agreed:

1. Beihai Town lent a total of 500,000 taels of silver from the Guangnan regime at one time, free of interest, and repays it in 20 years; 2. Beihai Town lent Gan Lingao from the Guangnan regime for a lease period of 50 years, with a rent of 5,000 taels of silver per year, and pays it in one lump sum; 3. After obtaining the unification of Annan, the Guangnan regime will return the Sino-Vietnam border to the Great Gambling River and ced the Lang Son Province on the front line of Guangxi on the Sino-Vietnam border. At that time, both sides will erect monuments on the border line as evidence and will never regret it; 4. The Hoi An area is temporarily managed by Beihai Town, allowing Beihai Town to recruit all Chinese troops in Hoi An, with a maximum number of people being 3,000. After Nguyen Phuc Ying occupied Guangyi Province, the Beihai Army will return it;

5. The Northern Navy will support Meihai Xunkou at the latest no later than February 15th of the Gregorian calendar within one month after the signing of the treaty, and will attack Pan Che from the south to the north coastal road, and assist Guangnan in capturing Pingshun Prefecture.

After the contract was signed, Deng Fei immediately returned to the Thor who was anchored in Qinchu Port, sent a telegram to the North Navy General Staff Department to inform the situation, and sent the full text of the treaty word for word. After receiving the telegram, Beihai Town immediately sent a telegram to Zhao Xin, who was far away in Siberia in relay.

That night, Zhao Xin saw the telegram. He was very satisfied with Deng Fei's replacement of Kunlun Island with Jinlan Bay. He was also very busy and even forgot such an important place.

On the morning of January 16, Beihai Town received a series of orders from Zhao Xin.

First, the coin factory immediately opened the mold and produced twenty tons of blanks, and the material ratio of the blanks was mixed with four copper and six leads. After all, these things will be transported to Hoi An with a coin press, a 60MV diesel generator and casting workers with the Jinglei, where the North Navy will produce the copper coins needed by Nguyen Phuc.

The diameter of the copper coin is 25 mm and weighs 3 grams. The pattern on the front is Thor, and the back is the word "One Month" on the back. In fact, since the copper coins in Beihai Town are solid, the actual value of the copper coin is much higher than one cent. However, Zhao Xin didn't care about this little money interest. If Nguyen Phuc Ying had the ability, she would melt it and not be afraid of losing money.

At the same time, Li Ji and Ding Guofeng, who were in charge of logistics, also received an order. Li Ji extracted 300,000 taels of silver from the logistics to Ding Guofeng. In addition to the ones that were to Nguyen Phuc Ying, the others were used to buy ships in Siam.

As for Ding Guofeng, he will carry the above-mentioned materials and the troops of the two battalions at the latest, fill up diesel, head south to Hoi'an, and provide oil supply to Thor before February 15.
