Chapter 717: Sending troops to Annam
Pan Qingjian didn't expect that the emperor of the Chinese Empire was not at all different from the Chinese monarch he imagined. Since www.biquge.info past dynasties, there has never been a Chinese emperor who does not like the small surrounding countries to pay tribute.
He opened his mouth and was about to argue, when Wu Chongyao in the hall said: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry!" Although the other party was wrong, he is now willing to change. This time I came to Shengjing, I deliberately admitted my mistake. After speaking, he lowered his voice to Pan Qingjian, who looked surprised, and said, "Master Pan, Wu can only help you so much." Doesn't it mean that you are in the land of Annam, begging for mercy and confessing your sins? It was as if he had really helped Pan Qingjian a lot.
Pan Qingjian was stunned for a moment, and reacted, no, he didn't say a word, why did he become guilty of confession? He hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has been wronged!" The title of this Vietnamese state was canonized by the Jiaqing Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty himself, not by our country. And our lord Nguyen Clan, although originally in Quang Nam, has defeated Tay Son and unified the entire hometown of Viet Thanh and Annam, and the people of the entire land of Vietnam have also surrendered, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered China, although I was sad and indignant, compared with the suzerain, it was still a weak and small country, how could we dare to confront China, and we had no choice but to submit to the Manchus, not a traitor. ”
Pan Qingjian paused, and said with some righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for my lord to call himself the Emperor of Hede, but he is only called the Emperor of the year, and he will never dare to be the emperor. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”
Feng Yunshan shouted: "You dare to quibble!" I think your ancestors were the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and did not want to be enslaved by the Manchu Qing aliens, so they ran to a foreign land in Annam. Unexpectedly, their descendants would be willing to serve the Annam Nguyen clan and turn their backs on China. Moreover, originally Annan was our Chinese territory from Qin to Ming, and it was extremely hateful that the Ruan clan dared to occupy it without authorization in a vain attempt to split our Chinese territory. ”
Pan Qingjian almost wanted to vomit blood in his heart, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, directly added the responsibility of the Jiaozhi Buzheng Division, that is, the land of Annam, which was originally given up by the Ming Dynasty, to the Ruan Dynasty in a word.
Who doesn't know, the Ruan family didn't know where it was at the beginning, how could it be blamed on their heads? What's more, those who are familiar with Annan know that it was because the land of Annan was far away from the Ming Dynasty, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was barren, so it could not supply the imperial court with taxes, and the Ming Dynasty had to pay money and grain to maintain it. Therefore, as a last resort, Da Ming took the initiative to give up this enclave, but he didn't expect that in the mouth of the current emperor from the Cantonese bandits, it would become a conspiracy of the Ruan family! This injustice is also too obvious.
Obviously, this is the emperor Chengxin said this, and his purpose is obvious, which is to find an excuse to embarrass the Ruan Dynasty.
Pan Qingjian's thoughts, in the eyes of others, became a default. As a result, Zuo Zongtang, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Capture Army, directly shouted: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the General Staff and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Capture Army, Weichen requests to send troops to Annam to recover his homeland!" ”
Liu Changyou, who was on the side, also shouted: "Your Majesty, I heard that the land in Annam is fertile, and the rice can be harvested three times a year, so it is time for the Ruan family to cultivate for so many years, it is time to return to the embrace of China." With more paddy fields, our Han people can starve to death without starvation. ”
The rest of the ministers of the DPRK and China also shouted one after another, and for a while, the ministers were furious, as if they would be heinous if they did not attack Annam.
Pan Qingjian suspected that he had come to a vegetable market, which shocked him! He never expected that the dignified Chinese Celestial Empire, the state of etiquette, could insult Sven so much, and the monarch and ministers would lose their dignity and shout that they would send troops to attack a vassal country.
His face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground again, grabbed the ground with his head, and kept shouting: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry!" My lord has been wronged! Let it take half a year to let the foreign minister go back to restore his life, and advise my lord to come to the Celestial Empire in person to ask for mercy, okay? ”
"How can you deceive me with this delaying tactic?" Feng Yunshan said angrily: "If you really want to confess your guilt, why did you know that my traitors Liu Changqing and Zhu Hongying fled to Annam, but let them develop and grow, did not send troops to suppress them, and escorted them to Shengjing for disposal?" Presumably with sinister intentions, secretly colluding with the two bandits, conspiring to make them rebel, and causing trouble to our Huaxia clan? ”
Pan Qingjian panicked, the emperor of the Chinese Empire was going to wronged them to the end! You can say anything about it. He had no choice but to keep silent in order to show his resistance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Feng Yunshan realized that he was talking too much, which was not conducive to the next arrangement, so he lowered his tone and said, "Since you are unwilling to expel Liu Changqing and Zhu Hongying, I will send a large army forward. Go back and tell your master that he will no longer send troops to encircle and suppress him, and when the captives come down, they will all be divided into the territory of my Chinese Empire. ”
The meaning between the words seemed to be willing to send troops to attack the two, but asked the Ruan Dynasty to send troops to attack as well, and agreed that whoever captured the territory would be anyone's.
Pan Qingjian was speechless! Originally, I wanted to beg the other party to let the other party send troops to help encircle and suppress Liu Changqing and Zhu Hongying, and then pay tribute at most some rare treasures, and make some high-sounding words to compliment the other party, maybe I can get a return gift. Unexpectedly, the opponent did not play the cards as he imagined. In this way, how can you ask the other side to send troops to attack?
The place you capture is the opponent's territory! This is completely unreasonable, but he has the strength to be unreasonable. Pan Qingjian wanted to cry without tears, he just wanted to rush back to the imperial city of Hue as soon as possible, and persuade Emperor De to give up the illusion of relying on the suzerain, and quickly send troops on his own, and try to drive Liu Changqing and Zhu Hongying out of Vietnam before the suzerain's captive army set out!
Therefore, the next day, under the pretext of rushing back to Hue immediately, Phan Thanh persuaded the king of Annam to come to Shengjing in person to pay tribute, hurriedly left Shengjing, and returned to Vietnam by boat via Guangzhou.
Before the steamer he was on arrived in Guangzhou, an order from the General Staff of the Imperial Chinese Army, personally signed by the Chinese Emperor Feng Yunshan, had already been sent down by the 800-mile expedited horse of the Special Service Department to the B8th Division stationed in Nanning Prefecture, and the day after that, it arrived at the B9th Division stationed in Qiongzhou Mansion.
The 20,000 officers and men of the two divisions quickly moved into action, and it took only two days to prepare for the whole army to set out, dividing the north and south by land and water.
The 8th Division crossed the Taiping Mansion, set out from Zhennanguan in Pingxiang Prefecture, officially stepped into the land of Annam, and attacked Tongdeng Town, which was adjacent to one mile.
The 9th Division, although it was a land division, had two regiments of sailor warships, which set off directly from the wharf of Chengmai County and went straight to the mouth of the Red River.
…….
There were only a few dozen Qing soldiers left behind by Liu Changqing in Tongdeng Town, and they originally wanted to inquire about the news of Guangxi, but recently, Liu Changqing brought the main troops to the area of Shandong Town on the Lu'an River, and forced tens of thousands of Yue and Daiyi mountain people there to build a city, preparing to develop Shandong Town into Shandong City. As a result, the Qing soldiers left behind in Tongdeng Town were uncontrolled, and they became the local emperor of the town, and changed the task of the detective to collect checkpoints and loot money.
A reconnaissance battalion of the 8th Division directly occupied Tongdeng Town, and then more than 1,000 Qing soldiers of Liu Changqing stationed in Langshan City were also surrounded by thousands of captive regiments that suddenly arrived, and only more than 100 people were clever and escaped into the mountains and forests, and the rest, except for more than 200 people who were killed, more than 800 Qing soldiers surrendered one after another.
After capturing Langshan, the 8th Division let the hundreds of defenders of the captive army originally stationed in Pingxiangzhou City move to Zhennanguan, and after the 500 people who stayed to guard Langshan, the 8th Division divided its troops into two routes, all the way to the west with 4,000 troops, along the way to conquer Wenmi Town, An Lu Town and Gaoping City occupied by Zhu Hongying's forces, and then continued to the west to capture the northwest region of Vietnam.
On the other hand, more than 5,000 troops went east to attack Tingli, Xian'an and other places occupied by Liu Changqing's forces.
Along the way, these small towns are swept away! The rebels stationed there first resisted, but after being slaughtered by a burst of muskets, they fled in a hurry, and then they were surrounded and surrendered on the spot.
