In 1658, Nguyen Phuc sent 3,000 troops to interfere in the battle for the throne of Zhenla, forcing Zhenla to surrender.

Since then, many battles were fought over the throne in Zhenla Kingdom. Whenever there was a civil strife in Zhenla, Guangnan and the neighboring Siam always seized the opportunity to intervene and send troops to help one of them ascend the throne.

In 1674, the throne dispute broke out again. The king of Guangnan, Nguyen Phuc, sent troops to subdue Zhenla, and made Niu Liqiu the king and Niu Lien the deputy king, and divided Zhenla into two.

Chen Shangchuan and others came to the south to surrender. Ruan Phuc took the opportunity to pressure Zhenla and force Zhenla to allocate the land of Dongpu and Bianhe to the Ming people for rest and rest.

Nguyen Phuc’s words awakened Nguyen Phuc, why not use the hands of the real la, to deal with the Ming people?

"There is Champa City between Guangnan and Zhenla. Champa City and Guangnan are enemies. If you want to send troops south, you will definitely pass through Champa City. Champa will inevitably send troops to attack the city in the middle. The Zheng family is eyeing it in the north. If you force the troops to go to Dongpu, you may have any worries." Seeing that his father was interested, Nguyen Phuc was trying to strike while the iron was hot and listed the reasons for not sending troops one by one.

"It's better to write letters to Hidden Weiqiu and let Hidden Weiqiu send troops to destroy the Chen family of Dongpu. After all, Dongpu, Bianhe and other places are all Zhenla territory. If we support Hidden Weiqiu, Hidden Weiqiu will definitely send troops to regain the lost land, and we can also take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Nguyen Phuc's words caused a repercussion in the hall, and many ministers nodded and agreed. This is indeed a good move.

Let Zhenla fight with the Ming people in Dongpu, and Guangnan reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Isn’t this better than sending troops to destroy the Chen family in Dongpu?

"Yeah." Ruan Phuc nodded with approval and said, "I immediately wrote to Illumina Qiu, promising that Guangnan would not interfere with Zhen La's actions to recover Dongpu and Bianhe and other places. In this way, if Niuqiu defeated the Ming people, then Guangnan could join forces with Niuqiu to send troops to Illumina to capture Dongpu when Niuqiu's vitality was severely damaged. If the Ming people win, then they could also send troops to expel Niuqiu and seize the fire stick and other places."

Ruan Phuket also knew the power of Ming people in Jiading and other places, and was only half a pound to eight taels of pounds and eight taels of pounds with Mieqiu.

At that time, Nguyen Phuc took advantage of the civil strife in Zhen La and sent troops to interfere in Zhen La's internal affairs, and made Niu Liqiu the king and Niu Limin the deputy king. He divided Zhen La into two, which had already been severely damaged. In addition, Zhen La was originally a vassal state, and after being done by Nguyen Phuc, there would be basically no chance in the future.

The Ming people from Dongpu have just arrived, and their martial arts were controlled by Guangnan, so they could not make any trouble.

If he did not send troops, then neither Ming Ren nor Niu Qingqiu could swallow each other, and both would be defeated. It would be up to him to support whom he would be able to annex the land. When he thought of this, Ruan Phuket couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, how do you deal with these Chinese businessmen?" Minister Ruan Youjing asked.

"You should not neglect your good hospitality." Nguyen Phuc picked up the tea at the table and said.

"Sir, these Chinese businessmen have bad intentions and are trying to connect with Chinese people in Guangnan. What if..." Minister Ruan Youjing frowned, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"These Chinese merchants are just sheep who are jealous of money. At the time when the Luzon barbarians slaughtered them repeatedly, have you ever seen these Chinese merchants resist?" Nguyen Phuket took a sip of tea and gently put down the teacup.

"These Chinese businessmen, you don't need to worry about them. What is really terrible is the Ming court behind these Chinese businessmen." Nguyen Phuc looked at them for a week.

"Everyone, the Ming court wants to trade with Guangnan. You and others have dissuaded them before, because they are worried that a large number of Luzon Chinese merchants will pour into Guangnan after trade, and they will inevitably collude with Chinese people in Hoi'an and other places to rebel. What should I do?" Nguyen Phuc asked.

"Business cannot be traded. Chinese businessmen should be expelled. At the same time, Chinese property in Hoi'an and other places should be confiscated and Chinese are sent to serve. You must never raise tigers." An official stepped forward and said loudly.

"No." Nguyen Phuc Hsin hurriedly opposed.

"Criminal, don't excuse the Chinese in Huian. When the defeated general of the Ming Zheng army went south to Luzon, merchants from Viganlavag and other places colluded with the Ming army, which caused the barbarians to lose most of the territory of Luzon. Could it be that Guangnan would repeat the same mistake?" The official was not afraid and shouted loudly.

"The Ming Zheng army went south to Luzon, attacked Weigan and occupied Lavag. It was all because of the greed of the local Tufan chiefs, and they were separated from the Spanish and were finally defeated one by one by the Ming people. What is the relationship with the Chinese merchants in Luzon?" Nguyen Phuc glanced at the official, and his tone was also a little cold.

"Now, Guangnan has many taxes from the port towns of Hoi'an, including sea trade, Chinese merchants, Japanese merchants, and major merchants from the Red and Barbarians of the South China Sea. Because Guangnan treats merchants well, and now China is banned from the sea, the Luzon war is divided into two. It is a great opportunity for Guangnan to develop sea trade and develop Nanyang. If there are many slaughtering and persecuting because of concerns about the collusion between Chinese merchants and the Luzon court, then who dares to come to Hoi'an and trade in Guangnan?"

Ruan Phuc's words make some sense. The reason why Hoi An has been able to develop over the years is indeed because of the ban on the Qing Dynasty's sea in the north, which has led to a shortage of luxury goods such as Chinese porcelain, cotton, etc., and Annan, which borders the Qing Dynasty, has just become a distribution center for smuggling maritime trade. Countless merchants from Japan, mainland China, and South China also came to Hoi An because of this.

If the Chinese and Chinese merchants in Huian are forcibly expelled, the situation in Hoi'an and other places will inevitably cause turbulence. At that time, Japanese merchants and barbarians will flee one after another. It will be a loss for Guangnan.

"There is no need to discuss the matter of the Chinese in Hoi'an, just let the officials of Hoi'an strictly supervise it. As for the Ming court's request for business, I am not willing to anger the Qing Dynasty in the north and the Spaniards in the South China Sea. Let the Chinese merchants go back." After thinking for a while, Nguyen Phuc decided.

The ministers did not say much about this, and even the tough Ruan Youjing and others did not object.

Just as the monarch and ministers of Guangnan were discussing the business with Luzon, Yang Yandi, the leader of the Ming people in the Meidi area, also received a letter from Chen Shangchuan, Dongpu and a ship of silver.

Yang Yandi was not surprised by Chen Shangchuan's contact with the Ming court in Luzon. Zhen La's Imperial Qiu repeatedly sent troops to invade, massacred Ming civilians and plundered food. The Ming people repeatedly submitted complaints to Master Ruan in Guangnan, but they all entered the sea like stones and did not respond at all.

During these days, the Ming generals in Jiading were full of anger. Unfortunately, they were in a foreign land and were not familiar with the place, so these Ming people could only swallow this breath.

"We cannot escape from the South China Sea. We are living under others' roofs and are in danger of peace. However, the Ming people in Luzon have established the Ming court and have spread across the South China Sea." Yang Yandi took the letter written by Chen Shangchuan and looked at the boxes of silver transported there, and couldn't help but look helpless.

"Sir, since the Luzon Ming court intends to win over, we might as well go south to Luzon and join the Ming court." General Huang Jin advised.

"Yes, did the Lord be the general of Liwu Town, and was granted by King Yanping (Zheng Jing). Now, I am not as humiliated as the Ming court of Nantou in Luzon." After hearing Huang Jin's words, several generals' eyes shone and stepped forward to persuade him one by one.
