Chapter 370: Jiaozhi people, go south to be the master
Ye Kai broke out in a cold sweat when he said this, and sure enough, only a creature like a eunuch who stayed in the palace all the year round could really understand the emperor's mind.
The throne in the Imperial City is very attractive, but it is not easy to sit on, especially if you want to be a monarch who is not fooled.
For example, the current Emperor Qianlong, after receiving the news that King Annam wanted to attach it, the first time was not ecstasy, but suspicion, wondering if he was going to be fooled by the people below again.
In the early years, Wu Shangxian pulled a local chief Mahazu who was in charge of tens of thousands of people and claimed to be the king of Myanmar to pay tribute to Beijing, and they were all honest people, and there were many goods that were worse than this, and Qianlong didn't have to pinch his nose to admit it?
But Annam is different from Myanmar, Annam is a big country in the East Asian cultural circle!
In the whole of East Asia, the countries that are qualified to have a little relationship with Chinese culture are Lee Korea and Annam, and Japan can barely be counted as half.
Therefore, Ye Kai underestimated the weight of Annan's invitation, this country that has been separated from the Central Plains for thousands of years and can casually pull out tens of thousands of strong soldiers is not the kind of small role that later generations think will be.
If we compare East Asia with Europe today, Annan would have to be an influential country of the same magnitude as Spain, Austria, or the Italian states combined.
With a land area of more than 300,000 square kilometers, a population of 7 or 8 million, and a regular army of 30,000 or 40,000, the mobilization of the whole country can pull out more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, and it is definitely not a small country.
Such a big event, if Qianlong can't see the real person, how dare he be sure whether it is true or false?
If he was fooled by the people below, and it turned out that this so-called attachment was fake, and he was not allowed to be written as the No. 1 fool in the history books?
So for Qianlong, whether it is Ye Kai or Ye Sheng who goes, it is likely that he will not particularly care.
What he cares about is the authenticity of the attachment, even if he has some doubts in his heart that it is not Ye Kai who is going, it is likely that he will not expose it, because people are not the most important thing, as long as Annan's attachment is true.
Thinking of this, Ye Kai seemed to have lifted the fog in front of him, what Qianlong wanted was the Annan Inner Attachment of the Eight Classics.
Regardless of whether it is really the king of Annan who entered Beijing or the substitute king, as long as the attachment is true, Qianlong, who is seventy-nine years old this year, will never delve into it.
As for Ye Kai, from his own point of view, he would never want to bow to Qianlong or anything in person.
He just wanted to pull Annan back into the arms of China, and he needed to use the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a tiger skin that seemed quite bluffing, to suppress the national consciousness that had already arisen in Vietnam.
The Han Vietnamese who are about to become Kinh people will be turned into the Yue people who belong to the Han branch again.
It's like a branch of the Han people like the Hakka, Hokkien, and Chaoshan people, not the independent ethnic Jing people.
Finally, through the advantages of annexation as much as possible, a large number of local guests from Liangguang were attracted to North Vietnam, so as to expand the scale of King Ye's henchmen in Annam.
and from Guangzhou, the de facto financial center of the Qing Dynasty, to absorb enough funds to help him industrialize Jiaozhi.
As soon as these demands were synthesized, the matter was very clear, and the second brother Ye Sheng was completely willing to go to Beijing to see Qianlong instead of him.
At the same time, he showed his muscles in South Vietnam, so that Fu Kangan and others vaguely understood that it was not him who went to Beijing, so that they should not move their minds, and this thing was done!
When Ruan Hue died, Guan Chenglin had already seen the strength of the Revival Army, and he would definitely report it to Fu Kangan.
And now that Ye Kai has subdued the South China Sea Pirates, it is just time to dispatch the Navy to take down the old nest of the South China Sea Pirates, located in the west of Hainan Island.
Then he moved the wives and children of the South China pirates here to North Vietnam, and then explored the location of the Shilu iron ore that he coveted.
In this way, one can knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and vaguely say that King Ye did not really go north, otherwise the revival army would definitely not have such a large-scale military operation.
Second, let's show the strength of the Revival Army's navy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Guangdong Navy Division can't even defeat the coastal boat bandits, if you want to provoke the Revival Army, then weigh it yourself.
At the same time, from the official face of Annan, then it must be low-key, and the Qing Dynasty must be humble in words, and do not show ambition for the two Guangzhou.
Maybe he can help Luo Fangbo, who is in a stalemate in the war, to attack Brunei Darussalam, or he can take the whole of South Vietnam and destroy Zhenla on the Jiulong River.
This not only shows strength, but also can dispel the vigilance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially Fukangan, to a certain extent.
。。。。
Chengtian Hue Province, Chengtian Province, Phu Rong County, just near the county seat, a small village called Perfume, Zhang Zhenfang, who looked like a soldier, sat on a wooden platform with a serious face.
This Zhang Youcai Zhang Zhengzong's Qilin'er was a little unlucky, he was injured in the leg by a lead bullet in the battle against Ruan Van Chang's department, although his life was saved, but since then he has been walking with a little limp.
Although it was much better than the more than 100 comrades in the Han Er's army who were buried by the Longjaw Bridge forever, Zhang Zhenfang still felt very frustrated.
If you are lame, you can no longer go to the battlefield, and you can no longer stay in the army, and in the current Annan, there is absolutely no way to climb up faster than in the army.
Fortunately, his instructor in Xiaowuxue is a close branch of King Ye, and he values Zhang Zhenfang very much.
So he was not allowed to retire directly, but he was given the title of Feng'en Lieutenant and a position as the secretary of Zhengqipin in Furong County.
The official position of secretary in Annan was originally the county magistrate in charge of some miscellaneous affairs, which was somewhat similar to the county chief or lord of the Qing Dynasty, but the status was even lower, after all, the scale of a county in Annan was not large.
However, this Furong County is a little different, the magistrate in the county is an official of the Xishan Dynasty, although the official hat has not been taken off, but the magistrate no longer dares to take care of anything!
When I met with him, the secretary, I almost knelt down for Zhang Zhenfang, so Zhang Zhenfang naturally took on the responsibility of the magistrate of Furong County.
This young man, who is only eighteen years old, has directly changed from the captain of the Han'er Xiaojie Army to the parent official of the more than 70,000 people in Furong County.
The stage set up next to Perfume today is set up for the upcoming trial meeting in Furong County.
Since Emperor Guangzhong of the Tay Son Dynasty died on the banks of the Ma River a month and a half ago, the entire Hue Tay Son Dynasty has collapsed at a very fast speed!
Wu Wenchu, Chen Guangyao, and Pei Dexuan, the uncle left behind in Hue, escorted Nguyen Quang Zan, and ran towards Quy Nhon overnight with more than 1,000 elite guards to join the Central Emperor Nguyen Yue.
Even the mother of the crown prince Ruan Guangzan, Pei Dexuan's half-sister, and Ruan Hui's Beigong Empress Fan Thilian did not take it with them, which shows how anxious they went!
And as soon as they left, the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, etc., which belonged to the Si Son Dynasty of Hue, were almost determined by the legend.
At the same time, those who had been waiting near Thang Long for a long time were designated as Yue people in Beiqi, but were promised by Ye Kai that as long as they sent their children to war, they could restore their Han status.
As well as the relatives of the Han Erxiao Army, plus the first-class and second-class Han of Beiqi who served as the soldiers and civilians of the Fuxing, they poured into these provinces.
With their arrival, there will definitely be many Yue people in these six provinces, including Chengtian Hue, who will lose everything they have now, and most of the benefits of these six provinces will be eaten by these Beiqi people.
As for how to make the Central Kiyue people under the rule of the Si Son Dynasty in Hue lose everything, the Northern Kiyue people who have been vigorously determined by the identity turmoil for four months have long been familiar with the road.
Among them, those who have benefited during the reign of the Xishan Dynasty will definitely be finished, and the big clans that occupy good land will also be finished!
The trial meeting that will be held by the perfume today is prepared for this matter, and the trial meeting by the perfume is also the epitome of the six provinces of Zhongqi.
Now those who have a little insight know what King Ye is thinking.
He drove some of the people from Beiqi to Zhongqi to be the master, and then let some of the people from Zhongqi go to Nanqi to be the master, and finally got some of the Nanqi people who had lost their land to the Jiulongjiang Plain in Zhenla to be the master.
Of course, those who can go to various places to be masters must admit that they are Han, and they or their descendants must prepare their own food and clothing to work for King Ye.
As for the Zhenla people who have no place to be the master, it will be miserable, or they will drill into the deep mountains and old forests by themselves, struggle to reclaim some ripe fields, and then be robbed by the Han people under the rule of King Ye, and then drill deeper into the old forests of the mountains.
Or go to Beiqi to mine, whether it is a coal mine, an iron mine or a copper mine, the shortage of people is almost crazy.
As for the land vacated by Beiqi, everyone knows that it was reserved for the native guests of the Han family who came from Liangguang.
