Zheng Zhun was very surprised, and said slightly anxiously: "The original news, didn't it say that the enemy was already frightened, and there were only a thousand people blocking the road of our army." ”

"People will snowball."

Mu Rongshan also admires these Vietnamese, thousands of people, according to his original cognition, no matter how you look at it, the number of people will not swell to more than two or three thousand, no matter how much there is, it will be uncontrollable.

The problem here is control, if you think about it, if half of a team is a non-core lineage, then you have to use your own people to monitor, you have to adopt a particularly strict internal management system.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, none of the people who were coerced by the national army finally returned home alive, and many people would rather die in the mountains than give their lives to our national army, especially the Central Army, as long as they had the opportunity to escape, which was also the reason for the gradual blood loss of the national army in the later period.

But what Mu Rongshan didn't expect was that Vietnam's unique folk sentiments made these people extremely "united", it turned out that people themselves had the habit of working when they were busy with farming and robbing when they were idle.

It can be said that Li Zhongxun has done an excellent job in completing the tasks planned by the elders, and correspondingly, it has also caused a lot of pressure on Zheng Zhun.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhun's face became worse and worse, and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, why is this happening, didn't you say before that Hanoi was in chaos, and the families were discussing running to Liangshan." ”

Of course, it's yours, but Mu Rongshan is still very calm on the surface, and said: "I don't know the specifics, but if the villages and wells along the way are destroyed, then our plan to attack Hanoi will be even more difficult, and if the people complete the mobilization and Hanoi is robbed and repaired into a dangerous city, it will not be easy to fight, after all, we have to wait until after the spring for the Celestial Empire to send more arms, and, father-in-law, although General Zheng Zhihu sent artillery, we lack livestock to pull cannons." ”

Mu Rongshan was not wrong, although Zheng Zhihu provided them with two cannons made using Dutch technology, but it was extremely difficult to use these two thousand pound cannons to fight land battles, and Vietnam did not have standard roads or liberation trucks.

For the elders, they can provide rifles to these people without fear, but it is absolutely impossible to sell cannons, otherwise they will inevitably end up shooting themselves in the foot, then, the breech guns that rely on kinetic energy to kill people can still sell some, and at the same time, the more anxious the war between the two sides, the better.

The imperial capital is obviously muddying the waters, and there may be another thread that secretly supports the Hanoi side, striving to make the civil war bigger, consuming the wealth and spirit accumulated by the Vietnamese, so that they do not have much resistance to the accession of the Celestial Empire.

Generally speaking, in the early stage of waging a war, it is necessary to do a good job of organizational, material, and spiritual preparations, and when it is broken down, it will become a comprehensive analysis of the current situation and development trend of the enemy's military establishment, weapons, and technical equipment, a study of his combat capability, strategic intentions, and methods of conducting war, a study of the personality characteristics of the leaders of the enemy regime, and what kind of things they will do under what pressure.

It is a series of responsible scientific plans to predict the situation that may arise in the early stage of war, reveal its characteristics and laws, determine the guiding principles of war, plan the mobilization system, and implement military and political education and training. The departments, industries, and personnel involved are all astronomical, and the relevant data is absolutely confidential.

As later generations believed, one of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was that after the Thirty Years' War, the decrease in European demand for the three major export projects of Chinese porcelain, silk and tea led to foreign exchange earnings.

Of course, as a trickle-down effect, there was still some foreign silver that filled the imperial treasury, and the various workers and peasants who had money would still spend the foreign exchange income to carry out various economic activities, which was also to inject vitality into their economy.

This is true for China, and in fact, in this era, the whole world is reeling from the impact of economic depression, and South Vietnam is no different.

The so-called profit,In fact, it is a scissors differential exploitation,A little brother who delivers express delivery in Los Angeles and a little brother who delivers express delivery in Shanghai has the same income,It's just that one is calculated in dollars,One is calculated in soft sister currency,This in Shanghai may be much harder,But why is the income so different? Because the little brother in Los Angeles serves rocket-making and movie-making stars, while the Shanghai brother serves a group of white-collar coders, how is this the same?

In the same way, Vietnam is now divided into three parts of the world, and although some Nguyen clans in the south are in a weak position, they can still be stable and defensive by relying on the advantages of the terrain.

The name of the country claimed by the Ruan clan was Quang Nam Kingdom, of course, due to the political correctness of the Ming Dynasty, it was not recognized, but as a fact, because the Zheng Dynasty had no choice but to accept the Ruan clan of the Southern Dynasty, it could only acquiesce in its existence, and after the two sides obtained the support of foreign colonists, they exchanged guns and fought more fiercely.

This kind of existence, so that the Quang Nam country continues to conquer the city in the south, due to the geographical relationship, from China to the introduction of technology and various military materials many fell into it, in later generations, due to the slaughter of the Qing army, a large number of people from the two Guangxi ran to the north and south of Vietnam, but also strengthened its strength, these people even to the Republic of China era still to the Ming people to serve themselves, when it is really a beautiful landscape, of course, to a certain period, after the beginning of the exclusion of Chinese, these people have become extremely miserable, Later, they were resettled in small villages built in large numbers in Guangxi and Guangdong.

These Ming people even established their own Vietnamese dynasty in 1778, and although it was only a little more than twenty years old, it was not a crime of war, not a defeat caused by their own incompetence.

Of course, at this time, the Nguyen Dynasty had not yet found its own truly suitable way of development, and it was still on the same level as its northern neighbors, and it was completely unthinkable that they would unify the whole of Vietnam in the future.

The Nguyen Dynasty later unified Vietnam, and then named it South Vietnam, which was the same name when Vietnam was still part of Chinese territory, so the Emperor Jiaqing at that time thought it was very impolite, so he waved his pen and directly changed its name to Vietnam.

In later generations, the name of Vietnam was always used throughout, even when it was divided in two by the US imperialists, just like the other North and South double sticks that were divided into two halves.

At this time, although Vietnam called itself Da Yue, but basically no one birded him, during this period, the Han army in Liangguang was licking the wounds of the rebellion of Lu'an, and had not yet had time to take out a knife to go to Vietnam for a full meal, and those Western foreigners did not have the appetite to annex such a huge Vietnam, so it was also left and right, very good and powerful.

Hue is a city established in the era of the Han Dynasty in China, it can be said that it has quite a history, and later changed its name to Shunzhou and Huazhou, and was changed to Hue, at this time it was ruled by Nguyen Phuc Lan, although it is inferior to its northern brothers in terms of overall strength, but on the one hand, Nguyen Phuc Lan is not lame, there is no participation of other forces inside, compared to the Zheng family who inherited the system of the previous dynasty is more at ease, at the same time, he can continue to expand the space to the south, typical in the northern neighbors that suffered, not only did not consume themselves, Instead, he seized power in the southern Burma and gradually grew.

The superiority of imperialism is vividly reflected in Hue.

There is no 21st century when the four small sex of the posture, the streets and alleys do not seem to be full of Chinese seekers, Hue as a world natural heritage, a variety of natural landscapes and historic sites, is one of the 50 places that must be seen once in a lifetime in various versions of the later generations.

Of course, Hue at this time is just a small county, with high temperature and rain in summer and warm and little rain in winter, but it is also a suitable place to use as a foundation and accumulate strength.

If Vietnam is a snake that occupies the Indochina Peninsula in the South China Sea, Hue happens to be in the center of the snake, which is also suitable for the mobilization of resources between the north and the south, and also suitable for becoming the capital of the later Nguyen Dynasty after the unification, which can be said to be the political center of central Vietnam.

Ruan Fulan as the emperor of Quang Nam at this time, of course, is only self-congratulatory, although this person can not be called a martial virtue, but also an emperor in the rising period, in the original history, a few years later, just in the prime of life, he led the elephant soldiers to carry out a trampling and decisive charge, although Zheng Jie's troops in the north fought in a hurry, but he also died of injuries and illnesses because of this, but this person's courage and bravery, at least compared to the incompetent Chongzhen, but it is also much ahead.

Of course, for the Nguyen clan, the biggest job of the year, in addition to the continuous southern expedition to the poor Champa and Burma, is to guard against the invasion of the northern brothers, oh no, the two sides still think that everyone is one country and demand reunification.

It wasn't until thirty or forty years later that I cleared my hands and found that it was best for these two families not to be united, and it was best to split forever.

But in this era, Nguyen Phuc Lan's first priority is to guard against the north, and he has also sent many spies to the past, but this New Year, it seems to be very different.

The sudden formation of the intelligence black hole and the difficulty of going back and forth made Ruan Fulan scratch his head, and he always suspected that the enemy would make preparations to take advantage of the New Year to raid his own army, as a weak party, Ruan Fulan naturally had already prepared, but the newly sent people from all walks of life, pretending to be hawkers, medicine pickers, etc., went to the north to collect intelligence, and there was not much news.

If he waits a little longer, he can receive the news that countless people are urgently sent back, then it will naturally be auspicious, the world is peaceful, the northerners will fight themselves, and we can have no worries.

But his son Ruan Phuc Wei came mysteriously and said that a noble person had come to visit.

That's right, according to historical records, several generations of Ruan emperors were named after Nguyen Phuc, and I don't know if it was water in the braincase?

"That's the gift you received?"

In front of him is a piece of jade Buddha, but the thing is very big, not small, almost half the size of Ruan Fulan's own body, Ruan Fulan has a good eye, knowing that this must be a good white jade, which is worth a lot.

Nguyen Phuc is still very young, in his twenties, but it seems that he has made some contributions, this kind of second generation who grew up in the war generally has no succession crisis, so there is nothing to estranged from his father, after all, his father is young and strong, and it looks like he can fight for another twenty years, so he naturally stays honest.

At this time, he could not have imagined that if according to the historical trajectory, there was no time and space for the Council of Elders, and his father would die because of the war.

"Legend has it that this is a Buddha statue from the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire, and it was consecrated by the master of Daixiangguo Temple......

As he spoke, Ruan Phuc Wei was like a child who had made meritorious contributions, bringing a box and covering it on the Buddha statue, revealing only one side for Ruan Phuc Lan to see.

Sure enough, in Ruan Fulan's view, this Buddha statue will flash with the glittering fluorescence of the bewitching in the light of his small study, and this jade Buddha will be so solemn and majestic, so atmospheric, even if there are countless killings, but the Buddhist family's sentence of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot is naturally the best relief channel for murderers everywhere, at least a dwarf who sells cooking cakes or a man who guards the forage field does not need any spiritual anesthetic to put down the butcher's knife.

Therefore, this teaching is not like it is for ordinary people, but it is for ......

Ruan Fulan closed his eyes and prayed for a while, but he looked up at his son and said: "This thing is a treasure, but the Jade Buddha can be luminous, even if it is the Celestial Empire, it is not rare, but it is given to you, and it will be great for people to ask for it, what do you think." ”

Ruan Fuwei smiled and said: "Father is really joking, isn't this Han dog fattened and killed, anyway, their court, as long as they scare it, they won't care about their overseas people at all, but that person seems to just want to see his father." ”

"See?"

I glanced at the Buddha statue in front of me, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, the faintly shining Buddha statue looked like a miracle, and the monks of the Celestial Empire had opened the light, which was naturally not simple.

"Then we'll see."

Of course, after thinking about it, Nguyen Phuc Lan still accepted this Buddha statue, after all, as a weak dynasty, he was not sure of complete victory at this time, and he could not have imagined that his children and grandchildren would conquer more territory than his northern enemies after continuous southern expeditions, and his strength would be greater, and then unify the whole of Vietnam, and even the name of Vietnam was given by him.

The person who came looked like a person from the Celestial Empire, at least Ruan Fulan secretly ordered someone to investigate, this person arrived in Hue the day before yesterday, and then found his son, but he had no other entourage, just simple luggage.

Ruan Fulan thought about it and was still ready to receive him, but in order to set up the score, he had to wait a few days to take care of his posture.
