"The king is not because he is afraid of fighting, but because he sent troops to Jiading, it is really not worth the loss for Guangnan." Seeing that Ruan Youjing, who had already pale temples, showed a disappointed expression, he quickly changed his words.

"Why?" Nguyen Phuc asked softly.

"Now the Ming court in Nanyang is powerful, and even the Spanish guarded Manila and dared not send troops north. The Ming court of Luzon attached great importance to Jiading. Qin Duke Xiao Wu personally led the navy to take charge. Although Huang Jin rebelled first, it was only a matter of time before Huang Jin's troops were wiped out by the Ming army. Moreover, once the Ming court of Luzon learned of the news of Huang Jin's rebellion, it would be necessary to send heavy troops to Jiading. If we send troops to Jiading at this time, the war would probably affect Guangnan." Ruan Youjing was also a loyal minister. He knew the gap between Guangnan and the Ming army, and he also told Nguyen Phuc that if a war broke out, Guangnan would be defeated.

"So, I, Guangnan, are you going to wait for the Ming army to plot against my Annan land?" Ruan Phuc said furiously when he saw this.

"Father, General Ruan is actually right. Now the Ming court has a great power and has occupied Jiading. It is a tiger and wolf army. If Guangnan sends troops, the victory or defeat will be unpredictable." Ruan Phuc also quickly agreed.

"And my father, I don't think the Ming court is provoking me, Guangnan." Nguyen Phuc said.

"If the Ming court really wants to be enemies with Guangnan and plot against our Annan land?"

"Then the Ming navy stationed in Jiading area has already gone north to Hoi'an Port, but the navy in Chameng waters reported that the Ming navy had been holding troops at the Haikou, and the Ming army had not exceeded half a step on the border between Jiading and Zhenla at these times, which did not seem to have the intention of going north." Nguyen Phuc hurriedly explained to his father.

"Yes, Wang, if the Ming court really wants to provoke me, Guangnan, why did he send Chinese merchants to Hue repeatedly and request business? And the Ming court sent envoys this time, and we also see his sincerity." Ruan Youjing is also a member of Guangnan who knows the Ming people better. This time, Ruan Youjing did not feel hostile among the envoys of the Ming court. Instead, he felt that the Ming court could not wait to shake hands with Guangnan and make peace.

"Wang, there is actually one thing I don't know whether to speak or not." Ruan Youjing looked at Ruan Phuket and whispered.

"Say." Ruan Phuket's face was no longer as gloomy as before.

"For Guangnan, the problem is in the north and in the south." Ruan Youjing tentatively said.

Nguyen Phuc was stunned, and then his face became more and more serious.

Why did Guangnan plan for land south of Jon City, including large areas of southern feudal land including Cham City and Zhen La?

The reason is nothing more than that Zheng Zhuo in the north is strong and Guangnan has a small force. He had no choice but to look to the south, trying to expand his strength by annexing the southern Chameng and Zhenla land.

But now Guangnan has met the competitor of the Ming court.

Ruan Youjing's meaning is also understood by Ruan Phuc.

The conflict between Guangnan and the Ming court was at best a matter of belonging to Jiading, but the threat of Zhengzhu from the north was really related to the safety of Guangnan.

Nguyen Phuc gradually calmed down. Although the Zheng army in the north invaded south several times in recent years, the disadvantages of Guangnan's troops and manpower were not improved.

If we take the Three Kingdoms period of China, Guangnan was the Kingdom of Wu, and Zheng in the north was the Kingdom of Wei. However, this Kingdom of Wei was still eyeing him and launched large-scale wars several times.

"I was abrupt." Ruan Phuc took a deep breath and said softly.

"Father, the Ming court has no deep hatred with Guangnan. This Jiading is originally Zhenla land. It has been a good talk for my father to give it to the remnants of the Ming people. Now that the Ming court is seeking Jiading, Guangnan can also follow the flow and recognize the Ming court's control over the Jiading area in exchange for the Ming court's promise that the Ming court will never invade Zhenla and occupy the city." Nguyen Phuc said.

In the letter written by Liu Yu to Ruan Phuc, Liu Yu also promised that as long as the Ming court and Guangnan were in harmony and trade, the Ming court could use Chameng as the boundary between Guangnan and never go north to invade Annan's land. It was full of sincerity.

However, Nguyen Phuc Bing had already regarded Jiading as his belongings. Seeing that the Ming court not only did not withdraw its troops, he also wanted to occupy Jiading and Guangnan with Chameng as the boundary, this angered Nguyen Phuc Bing.

However, now that he has lost his anger, Ruan Phuc, who thinks carefully, seems to have angered the Ming court for the sake of just Jiading, and has caused the enemy of Guangnan and South, which is really not worth the loss.

"In your opinion, Guangnan must reach an agreement with the Ming court." Nguyen Phuc said coldly.

Ruan Youjing and Ruan Phuc looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, shaking hands with the Ming court and making peace, and even communicating with the Ming court is more beneficial than disadvantages for Guangnan." Ruan Phuc-chung said.

"Father, now the Sihai Chamber of Commerce merchants are spread all over the South China Sea. Many Chinese merchants also trade in our Guangnan territory. The annual taxes are quite considerable. If we trade with the Ming court, then our Guangnan goods can also be sold to all parts of the South China Sea. The wealth can be said to be continuous, which can make up for the embarrassment of the empty treasury in our Guangnan now."

Nguyen Phuc looked at Nguyen Phuc and saw that he had no strange colors, and continued.

"The Ming people are good at firearms, and their firearms are no less sharp than those of Spain and the British. Previously, the Ming court envoy also mentioned in the hall that it could export firearms to Guangnan, and the price was lower than the Spanish quotation. We might as well trade with the Ming court and use the Ming merchant taxes to exchange for the Ming merchant firearms, so as to prepare the Guangnan army."

After hearing Nguyen Phuc, Nguyen Phuc-bin couldn't help but nod.

In recent years, due to the war with the north, Guangnan had to purchase a large number of firearms from the Red-haired Ghost in the South China Sea.

But these Spanish people were very smart. After learning about the current confrontation between the north and the south of Annan, they also set a price.

If you don’t buy my firearm in Guangnan, I will sell it to Zhengzhu in the north, and vice versa.

Although the power of the Red-haired Ghost in the South Ocean is different, it is surprisingly consistent in this regard, and the ministers in Guangnan are so angry that they grit their teeth.

If the Ming people are willing to sell Guangnan firearms, then it will be a good thing for Guangnan.

"But when communicating with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court will still benefit from the end. Now the Ming court is already a wealthy wolf. Now I will stop fighting and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. I may lead the wolf into the house!" Ruan Phuc's expression was complicated and it was difficult to choose.

"Father, although the Ming court occupied Jiading, the people of Jiading have not yet surrendered to the Ming court. Huang Jin's rebellion is an example. It will take some time for the Ming people to take Jiading as themselves. We can make peace with the Ming court and engage in trade with the Ming court, while funding Zhenla. Jiading was originally the hometown of Zhenla. My father could provoke a dispute between Zhenla and the Ming people of Jiading, which made the Ming court unable to look north due to the struggle with Zhenla." Nguyen Phuc Tsing said.

Outside the King's Hall, Su Langqing and his party walked towards the post station under the escort of the soldiers.
