Historically, the French governor in Cochinchina, Lu Mei, once investigated the situation in northern Vietnam, saying that "the provinces of Taiyuan, Tuyen Quang, Xinghua, Cao Ping, Lang Son, Bac Ninh, Shanxi and other provinces are all high mountains and mountains, and the radius of more than 800 miles is covered with forests and thorns, which are the abysses of the rebels, and the mountain trails in various places are the traces of their escape."

Most of the rebels in the French population were actually peasant armies who fled from China to this area after the failure of the Tiandihui uprising.

The three provinces of Lang Son, Bac Ninh, and Shanxi happen to be the areas along the railway built by the French. In this area, there are 156 groups of Chinese immigrants, nearly 100,000 people, as many as 60,000 young and strong men, less than half of them are women, and even fewer are children.

During the preparation period in the past few years, the army has been active in this area more than once, carefully exploring their future routes to the south, and also communicating with local Chinese immigrants. Most of the immigrant leaders rebelled in the past, but after settling here, farming for a living, living a stable life, there is not much rebellion, but more and more missing their relatives in their hometown.

The army assured them that as long as they cooperated with the Ming Dynasty, the government would cancel their arrest documents (many of them were not available, and the government did not know the situation here, how to arrest them), and those who were willing to accept the appointment of the Vietnamese government could still be Vietnamese officials, and those who were willing to return to China would not be embarrassed by the government, and those who were willing to stay, the government was willing to let their families come here to reunite.

Under all kinds of generous promises, most of the immigrant leaders expressed their loyalty to the government, so there was an edict from the king of Vietnam, and the people gathered, and the grand occasion of a hundred responses was not supported by the Ming Dynasty, these Chinese armed forces knew who was the king of Vietnam, and the Baosheng area only knew Liu Yongfu and did not know the Vietnamese government, but it was eight hundred miles deep in the forest and mountains, and no one knew.

In addition to the Chinese armed forces, there were also local Vietnamese landlords and gentry, and after seeing the emperor's edict, many of them chose to recruit villagers to resist the Fayi.

Soon, in the name of the Vietnamese court, they recruited 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the northern region of Vietnam, from Hanoi to Lang Son, of which half were Hua Viet Thanh Yong.

The French did not realize at this time that their local civilian foundation was too poor, so they could only retreat into the strongholds set up in one railway station after another, and they were responsible for protecting the railway line in peacetime, and they were not elite troops, but they were just maintaining law and order.

Therefore, when the appointed date arrived, the people who were carrying bags, pulling carts, and negotiating business at the railway station suddenly broke out and attacked the nearby French security forces, the French were caught off guard, and they lost more than 100 stations, tunnels and bridges in one day and night, and the railway line from Hanoi to the Chinese border was instantly defended, and at this time, the main force of the French army was still fighting with Liu Yongfu's army in the Baosheng area, which was completely beyond the reach of the whip.

Where could the Gallic rooster endure this breath, protesting strongly and threatening to withdraw the embassy.

Daming refused to admit it and continued to fight the lawsuit with the French.

Where is this lawsuit clear, the French have evidence in their hands, Daming has such a wide range of infiltration, it is not surprising that there are a few traitors and traitors, but they have no basis for their words, and Daming does not admit it at all.

The Ming not only did not admit it, but on the grounds that the north of Vietnam was out of control, it was decided to send troops south to maintain law and order along the railway line, and the intervention of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty immediately broke out in France, and they officially issued an ultimatum to the Ming Dynasty, requiring the Ming Dynasty to withdraw the garrisons along the line within ten days, otherwise it would be regarded as an invasion of the French Republic, and the French Republic would reserve the right to take all means to safeguard its interests.

But as soon as the ten days passed, the Ming army not only did not withdraw its troops, but began to build fortifications, claimed to maintain law and order, and also tried to keep the train unimpeded. Just two months ago, the Daming Railway Company opened up the railway to Lang Son, and the North Vietnam Railway and the Daming Railway network were connected. Now the Ming Army follows the railway and can go directly to Hanoi.

The French response was to withdraw their troops from Baosheng and concentrate their main forces in Hanoi to ensure the smooth flow of this inland river center, at this time they were no longer able to continue to besiege the Black Flag Army, and if they continued to fight, the Black Flag Army was not destroyed, and their retreat route might be cut off by the Ming army.

French reinforcements finally arrived in Vietnam at the end of November, and as if fearful of France's military might, the Ming expressed their peace intentions to France for the last time through Britain, hoping that the two sides would sit down for constructive negotiations.

The French were also unproductive, or pragmatic enough, to crack down on the rising gentry rebellions in north-central Vietnam while accepting demands for negotiations.

Representatives of the Ming Dynasty, the Vietnamese Emperor Nguyen Phuc Minh, and the French representatives, mediated by the British Minister Witt Ma, conducted peace talks in Canton.

The demands of the Minh and the Vietnamese emperor were simple, France abolished the puppet emperor and rerecognized the legitimacy of Nguyen Phuc Minh, while the Da Ming expressed its willingness to withdraw the railway garrison, and Nguyen Phuc Minh was willing to restore the situation to the previous state, that is, France was in charge of Vietnam's diplomacy, and Vietnam's internal affairs continued to be managed by the Vietnamese themselves.

What a simple request, the French did not feel the need to refuse, but they demanded that Nguyen Phuc Minh return to Hue immediately before they would recognize Nguyen Phuc Minh's legitimacy.

He didn't dare to go back after killing Ruan Fuming, so the negotiations were frozen here.

The French 200,000 regular army, although it does not adapt to the local climate, can not play all the combat effectiveness, but only need to play a little, that is not the Vietnamese squire can confront it, in just one month, the squire armed forces in the area of Vietnam Zhongqi have been swept away, the military discipline of the French is not good, the high-level also talk about a little civilization, the low-level soldiers in the nervous ghost knows what to do.

Hundreds of thousands of French soldiers scattered in the impoverished land of Vietnam, showing their ugliness all the time, while the racist French officers did not stop it at all, and some even thought that it was the purification of the land, and they called themselves medieval crusaders, fighting a holy war against the infidels.

No one will know about the evil deeds of the French, but they are deeply engraved in the hearts of the Vietnamese people.

So the French continued to suppress, the Vietnamese continued to revolt, suppressed, and revolted, France has never been able to calm Vietnam, the French soldiers are getting higher and higher in the injury rate, and the French fiscal deficit rate is getting higher and higher, at this time they thought of Nguyen Phuc Minh again, if they can welcome back Nguyen Phuc Minh, can they really end this nightmare.

So a month after a month of hiatus, France again wanted to restart the negotiations.

This time, in the case of French concessions, the three parties of Minh, Vietnam and France quickly reached an agreement, France announced that it promised to abolish the imperial title of Emperor Dong Qing, Nguyen Phuc Minh promised to withdraw the capture of Wang Xuanwen, and was willing to return to the Hue Palace after the local pacification of the place, and continue to abide by a series of agreements reached with France before, and Vietnam was willing to continue to accept the protection of France. Da Ming said that he was willing to withdraw the troops stationed in northern Vietnam to maintain law and order and hand over the management of law and order to the French army.

Seeing that a war had disappeared into invisibility, and that France was only interested in Vietnam, how could they not be satisfied with such an outcome.

France was very happy, and the French colonial government immediately announced to the outside world that it would abolish the title of Emperor Tongqing and continue to recognize the status of Emperor Xianyi.

After that, he urged Ruan Phuc Minh to immediately appease the people as agreed. The Ming Dynasty wanted to withdraw the garrison in northern Vietnam and let the French army take over the defense.

Nguyen Phuc Minh not only did not withdraw, but also announced that he would raise troops to destroy him.

The Ming Dynasty used the sudden change in the situation in Vietnam as an excuse to believe that it was necessary for the Ming Dynasty to continue to maintain the garrison.
