"Model 1857 rifle with a barrel made of roll-treated cast-iron drilled holes, three rifling, 11 mm caliber, fire cap shot, lead paper shell bullet with firing crosshair, equipped with a steel sleeve bayonet. Accessories include a strip, a steel mold for casting lead warheads in the field, paper for rolling bullet casings, and grease for coating bullets and casings......"

Yin Xiaofeng whispered the parameters of the rifle transaction with the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam, which made the officers next to him smile. An officer laughed and said, "Do you still need to carry this?" ”

"Why don't you have to carry it?" Shen Xin, the leader of the team in charge of this arms trade with the Nguyen Dynasty, said.

Although he used a questioning tone, the officer could certainly hear the reproach here. Even if he couldn't hear it, the reproachful expression on Shen Xin's face would not be misleading.

Most of the officers fell silent. The rifle parameters that Yin Xiaofeng carefully memorized were too "common-sense" for soldiers, but this was by no means a reason for officers to laugh at Yin Xiaofeng. Of course, there are also officers who still said in a relaxed tone: "Do you still need to memorize these?" Participate in military training and shoot a few more shots. ”

Shen Xin was a little speechless by this answer. What he objected to was the ridicule of the officers for Yin Xiaofeng, a layman, but even if the officers were violently criticized, it could not change the fact that Yin Xiaofeng was a layman. If you want Yin Xiaofeng to become an expert, the only way is the method that this person called Zheng Zhongming said, to conduct military training for a guy like Yin Xiaofeng. It didn't take long for him to practice the rifle parameters in ten days.

Shen Xin immediately regretted it a little. Obviously, his approach to the matter was a bit too naïve. It is clear that this is a frustration, not a solution. If Zheng Zhongming expressed his intention to underestimate Yin Xiaofeng, and said this meaning openly or secretly, Shen Xin could of course immediately criticize it from the position of a political commissar. But Zheng Zhongming did not express himself in this way. Then Shen Xin naturally couldn't have any criticism on this. But even so, Shen Xin felt a strong unhappiness in his chest, and this unhappiness quickly turned into a feeling of annoyance.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry." This is something that the political commissars have been taught repeatedly in the Liberation Society. Someone else's inappropriate behavior is not an excuse for oneself to do something even more inappropriate. This is what Wei Ze repeatedly emphasized at the meeting of the political ministry. Although Shen Xin felt a little annoyed and angry, he quickly remembered what Wei Ze had said, "Most of the feelings of anger are due to the feeling of my own incompetence. If everything is under control and can be handled according to the concept that you have implemented, you may feel bored, tired, or disappointed. But you won't have anger. ”

While Shen Xin felt annoyed at this time, he suddenly remembered Wei Ze's words. He quickly reflected on himself, and immediately understood the current situation. Regardless of whether Zheng Zhongming's words were intentional or unintentional, at least they led the content of the current discussion in the direction of solving the problem. If Shen Xin wanted to solve the problem, he would not have any reason to be angry or reprimand.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin said, "Okay! There is still one day left, if Comrade Yin Xiaofeng is trained immediately, what kind of course can he be trained? Can you practice everything he memorizes? ”

Seeing Shen Xin staring at him, Zheng Zhongming replied, "There is definitely no way to be proficient, but these things can be preached to him." ”

Shen Xin replied, "Very good." Captain Zheng Zhongming, you are responsible for training Comrade Yin Xiaofeng. Remember, it's time to let him touch in person, not let him learn to put a gun. ”

Seeing Zheng Zhongming get up and take Yin Xiaofeng to start operating this "Model 1857 rifle", most of the officers of the Guangfu Army stopped talking, and a few of them showed disappointed expressions on their faces. Shen Xin has been a political commissar for a few years, and he has seen too many disappointed expressions when he is afraid that the hope of the world will not be chaotic. So after making a note of these people in his heart, Shen Xin returned to his seat and began to read the text.

Not only Yin Xiaofeng is actively preparing for this arms deal, but Shen Xin is also preparing. When negotiating, you need to be very familiar with the relevant numbers, and memorization is a must.

Yin Xiaofeng actually has experience in military training, although he doesn't know much about the structure of a rifle, he doesn't know how to put a gun. Moreover, these numbers were also memorized by Yin Xiaofeng, and the reason why he recited them so repeatedly was that he was very concerned about this mission, for fear that he would make the slightest mistake.

Yin Xiaofeng never imagined that he would one day be able to become a diplomatic envoy, or a diplomatic envoy in charge of commercial operations. Of course, Yin Xiaofeng joined the Restoration Society more than a year ago, so he naturally had to be trained by the Liberation Society. Part of this is the "philosophical" training.

The training of the personnel of the Liberation Society has talked about the philosophical proposition of "the contingency and inevitability of things". Yin Xiaofeng has used this knowledge to analyze his own good fortune, and he now has the experience of going to sea and knows a foreign language, although it is Spanish rather than French. In addition, he understands business and knows how to deal with people. More importantly, he himself chose to take the initiative to follow the Liberation Army.

If it was in Guangdong, where the Manchus were in power, these experiences would not have helped the officials at all. But in Guangdong, where the Restoration Council is in power, they need people in this area to do things, so it is inevitable to choose Yin Xiaofeng. As for the part of chance, Yin Xiaofeng only came into contact with the Liberation Society by chance, and the so-called accident was just a choice for other purposes at that time. Today's treatment can only be said to be arranged by fate.

It is precisely because he knows how he got on this line that Yin Xiaofeng has a sense of belonging to the Restoration Society. It was inconceivable for an ordinary person to become an official by virtue of his legitimate ability. Yin Xiaofeng is very satisfied with the position he has now. He also knew very well that if he wanted to keep his official position and make a difference, he had to do a good job of the errand that the Liberation Society had entrusted to him.

Therefore, when the delegation of the Liberation Army arrived in Hue, Nguyen, Vietnam, on September 2o, 1859, Yin Xiaofeng, with the help of Zheng Zhongming, compared all the contents of the list with the actual thing. As for the number on the list, Yin Xiaofeng has long memorized it.

The Nguyen Dynasty is all in Hue, which is the name behind the Chinese taste. The name is not only a complete expression of Chinese influence in Vietnam, but the capital city of Hue is completely modeled after the Ming Dynasty city of Beijing, which has the same triple structure and symmetrical layout of the central axis as the city of Beijing, and even the name of the building.

According to historical records, Ruan An, a Ming Dynasty eunuch from Jiaozhi, participated in the design and construction of Beijing City in the early Ming Dynasty.

Later, Cochin became independent again, and Hue became the capital of Cochin. The architectural ideas were completely retained, and the Vietnamese even copied the name of the building in Beijing.

After the Nguyen Dynasty unified Vietnam, it also made Hue its capital. The members of the delegation met with the Nguyen Dynasty Emperor in this Chinese-built city full of Chinese style.

The official system of the court of the Nguyen Dynasty, on the basis of the old system of the Li Dynasty and with reference to the system of the Qing Dynasty, abolished the prime minister, took charge of state affairs with the six departments of soldiers, punishments, rites, and officials, and placed the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise hundreds of officials. In terms of law, based on the "Great Qing Law", 398 articles of the "Jialong Law" were revised, covering many aspects such as military, finance, and criminal law. Nguyen Phuc Anh, the founding emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, flaunted Confucianism, and he ordered the establishment of a national eunuch in Hue, and opened a township to admit literati and officials. There is such a cultural system, and there are many people in the Nguyen Dynasty who are proficient in Chinese, which also makes this diplomatic activity more difficult.

The current reigning monarch of the Nguyen Dynasty is Nguyen Phuc Dinh, whose year name is Si Duc, and is known as Emperor Si De. The ruler of the Nguyen Dynasty, who had the characteristics of Southeast Asia's thinness, personally received the delegation of the Liberation Army.

After seeing the ceremony, Shen Xin said calmly: "Your Majesty, our Guangfu Army will march into Guangxi soon." In less than a year, we will be neighbors. I was ordered by the Governor of the Guangfu Governor's Mansion Wei Ze to come to see His Majesty. I don't know if His Majesty will be willing to live in peace with us to restore the Governor's Mansion. ”

Shen Xin's purpose this time was to sell arms, but Wei Ze specifically explained that no matter how eager the Liberation Army was for the arms trade. The Vietnamese are more concerned than the arms trade about the situation in China.

Long before the birth of Jesus, it was a Chinese tradition that every powerful Chinese dynasty would incorporate the old land of Jiaozhi into the Chinese territory in the early days of its founding. The Vietnamese were undoubtedly impressed by this. Whether the Governor's Mansion will follow Chinese traditions after the restoration of the Governor's Mansion is a matter for the future. At the moment, maintaining a peaceful border line is of great practical importance to the restoration of the Governor's Office.

After listening to Shen Xin's words, the Ruan Dynasty, from the emperor to the ministers, was undoubtedly relieved. Twenty years ago, when Zhang Guoliang, the current governor of Jiangnan, was a bandit, he led tens of thousands of troops into Vietnam and defeated the Vietnamese army. I still have an impression of that incident. At this time, when they learned that the Guangfu Army had no intention of using force, they naturally felt that the pressure had dropped sharply.

Moreover, although the Vietnamese emperor knew that the 6th Navy of the Liberation Army had flaunted its might in the vicinity of Hongji Port, he was very satisfied that the two sides did not continue the military conflict in the follow-up. As for the Chinese renting land in Vietnam to dig coal, as expected by the Guangfu Army, the Vietnamese court simply could not understand the significance of the Chinese spending so much effort.

"It's good for everyone not to fight!" Nguyen Phuc Yen said.
