Zhu Hongying is a single, you can run away. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and the Vietnamese king Duc Emperor Nguyen Phuc Dinh is not so convenient.

He is not yet thirty years old, and he has been on the throne for less than ten years, but even if he is in the prime of life and strong in blood, at this moment, he can't help but gasp!

He knew that he, and his Nguyen dynasty, was in a great crisis!

After learning of the Chinese Emperor's attempt, he hurriedly mobilized the troops of the Imperial City of Hue, which was originally heavily garrisoned, and My Son and Jiangang in the central part of the country, regardless of the shortage of domestic troops, and rushed to Hanoi in the north, preparing to capture Hanoi before the Chinese Empire's army set out, and then recover the entire northern Vietnam.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the army was sent out to Hanoi, a news came from the south that broke him, and the tens of thousands of troops of the Chinese Empire, like the Westerners, marched by sea and suddenly from the mouth of the Mekong River. At this time, Vietnam only had a small number of foreign naval ships, and although the rest had hundreds of boats, they were all small inland river warships on the Mekong River, and thousands of sailors were sunk and scattered after several rounds of artillery bombardment by the other side.

At this time, the important cities on both sides of the Mekong estuary, such as My Di, Penn Tchi, and Vinh Long, were easily taken by the enemy forces who suddenly attacked and took advantage of the lack of defensive forces.

By the third day, even Jiading, the most important city in the south, and the adjacent cities of Bianhe and other cities were occupied by the enemy.

At this time, the intelligence of the front line also clearly reached his imperial city of Hue.

He's just blindsided! Only then did he know that this powerful suzerainty in the north did not want to kill his prestige on a whim, but really wanted to destroy his Nguyen dynasty and annex the whole of Vietnam!

What an insidious and ruthless method! First of all, he threw out the so-called who occupied whom, so that he thought that he was going to recover his former homeland, the northern part of Vietnam, and lured himself to send a large army to compete with him and quickly recover northern Vietnam. After he had withdrawn the southern army, he secretly sent troops to attack the southern region by sea, and then let out the wind to make himself suddenly kill when the army and the traitors in northern Vietnam were defeated, and this series of calculations and arrangements were one after another. is so powerful, and still calculates like this, Ruan Fuying almost wants to cry without tears.

When did the Northern Dynasty, which had always paid little attention to the naval division, become so powerful in the hands of this Cantonese thief? Isn't this the same as those foreigners?

Nguyen Phuc Dinh thought of the Nam Ki region in the south, the Kowloon River Plain, which the French called the Mekong Delta, the richest region in the whole of Vietnam, if all of them were occupied by the Chinese Empire in the north, then the Nguyen Dynasty would really perish!

You must know that this Nam Ki Kowloon River Plain is not only the place where Nguyen Chao Long Xing made his fortune, but also the most important grain-producing area in the whole of Vietnam. Moreover, with the continuous development of the imperial court in the past few years, it has become very important, with one-third of the grain production of the entire Vietnam. Nguyen Phuc Dinh can surmise that if the fertile Mekong banks continue to be transformed into fertile fields, the grain production here will become higher and higher, eventually accounting for half or more of the country's food.

It can be said that if he loses the most fertile land left by his ancestors, the entire Ruan Dynasty will almost be destroyed! What kind of face do you have to meet the ancestors and ancestors of the Ruan Dynasty?

It must be snatched back at all costs! Nguyen Phuc Yen was secretly ruthless.

But now, the entire Vietnamese army may not be able to withstand those bandits! Nguyen Phuc Dinh secretly calculated that even if he gave up the entire northern Vietnam region and withdrew all the troops there, plus the garrisons in the imperial city of Hue and several provinces in the central part of the country, there would be only 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and the temporary expansion of troops would barely reach 100,000 troops, and he had no bottom in his heart. After all, the 30,000 or 40,000 troops who went to attack Hanoi were defeated by the bandits in just a moment. That's all elite!

Nguyen Phuc Yen became distressed.

At this time, Phan Thanh Kwan, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had just returned to the imperial city of Hue from the north, came up with an idea: to ask for help from France, a Western country that had long coveted Vietnam, and give up some interests, including opening some ports and leasing Kunlun Island, so that the French foreigners could send troops to help repel the Chinese Empire.

Nguyen Phuc Dien's eyes lit up. He also knew that asking for help from foreigners was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, but now there was really no other way, so he sent Pan Qingjian to disguise himself and find the French consul in Jiading City, which had been captured by the enemy.

At the same time, he thought of the feud between the Phnom Penh dynasty of Cambodia and Siam, and now the survival of the silk is at stake, and enemies can also become friends. At the same time, he sent his cronies to the two countries to tell the stakes, claiming that after the Chinese Empire in the north occupied the Ruan Dynasty, it would definitely continue to advance westward and occupy them all.

In the half month of waiting for the news, Ruan Fu Xuan was like suffering.

The north, the entire northern part of Vietnam, has been almost completely occupied by the captive army, and even the damned Zhu Hongying and Liu Changqing have fallen apart and do not know where to go. The enemy forces in the north have already reached Thanh Hoa province and continue to attack southward.

In the south, he was even more grief-stricken: nearly 20 provinces in the south were all occupied by enemy troops in the south in only half a month. Since Hue's orders did not reach the south in time, his valiant southern defenders, stubbornly holding back the attacking enemy forces, were slaughtered one-sidedly and defeated. After the defeat of the 30,000 officers and soldiers in the south, only more than 10,000 remained, and fled back to the central region. Today, equivalent to the entire Nguyen Dynasty, the largest area of the northern part of Vietnam and the richest area of the southern region are all occupied by the other side, and only the central Central region is still in their own hands. Moreover, the entire army is only forty or fifty thousand people left.

Even if he wants to draw strong and strong people to rush into the army, he will not be able to make up 100,000 troops. After all, during the great famine five or six years ago, three or four hundred thousand people starved to death in the entire Zhongqi region, and it was difficult for the Zhongqi region, which had a small total population, to muster up how many strong people could not be made, and even if there were, they would have been requisitioned and reinforced.

Therefore, Nguyen Phuc Dinh sadly found that a reality that was difficult for him to accept, that is, it was a complete dream to defeat the enemy army from the north with their own strength of the Nguyen Dynasty. Not to mention defeating the other party, it is impossible to even hold the Zhongqi region and the imperial city of Hue.

Fortunately, at this time, Pan Qingjian, who had secretly lurked in Jiading City to find the French consul, came back. However, to his despair, the French's reply was that there was nothing they could do either. If possible, it will take another six months and a year for them to consider a deal with them after the war in Europe is over.

However, their conditions were too low, and the French demanded that the Nguyen Dynasty directly cede the thirteen provinces of southern Vietnam, including Gia Dinh, and accept France as the sole protectorate, not to cede territory to other countries without the consent of France, open all coastal ports and inland rivers for French merchants to trade, guarantee the freedom of trade of the French, and allow Christian clergy to preach freely in Vietnam. If these are agreed, the treaty will be signed in advance, and France will consider whether to send troops to help after six months to a year.

Ruan Fuying was so angry that he kicked Pan Qingjian to the ground! What are the conditions? What is the difference between not sending any reinforcements, and putting forward so many conditions, and agreeing to these conditions by yourself, and the current Ruan dynasty is about to perish? Half a year later, I will consider whether to send reinforcements? In less than half a year, Ruan Phuc Yen estimated that in just one or two months, his country would have to be completely buried. At that time, will the dead French send troops to repair their graves?

Messengers to the west for help from the Phnom Penh dynasty and Siam also brought news, both of which refused to send troops for fear of getting into trouble. Not only that, but they were also prepared to immediately provide military rations to the evil country in the north in order to curry favor with the other side, and they were also prepared to submit a request to be a vassal state and directly dependent on the other side. The original vassal state, which pays tribute once every three years, has been changed to a vassal state that pays tribute once a year, and even the prime minister is appointed by the other party.

Ruan Fu Di's heart suddenly became cold! If you know today, why bother in the first place! He only blamed himself for not figuring out the situation earlier, and he couldn't imagine that this Cantonese rebel army that overthrew the Manchu Dynasty would have such force that even Western countries would retreat. If he had known this, he would have been like Siam, and he had earlier requested that his Nguyen dynasty be changed from a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to a vassal state, or even a vassal state or a vassal state, which would be much better than being desperate and on the verge of ruin.
