Chapter 609: The Anxious Frenchman

[Ask for subscription, ask for support......]

The first round of negotiations did not take long, and this meeting + negotiation was more of an exchange of overall opinions between the two sides. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Watson knew that the next time the negotiations began, none of the Chinese political giants he had seen in the Qianqing Palace would appear, but there was no way around it.

It is impossible for China to have a single prime minister come and negotiate with its own small envoy in person.

The Chinese negotiating delegation is led by Huang Song, who is the real adversary between him and Watson, and will discuss the details of issues of bilateral concern in detail.

When Chen Ming returned to the harem, Li Xiaomei immediately made emotional gestures and chatters in front of him with a look of seeing a monster, which made him really want to laugh.

"It seems that the dress of the envoy's wife has frightened the real queen."

But in fact, what is the difference between the low-cut clothes of Westerners and the dress of noble ladies in the Tang Dynasty? In Chen Ming's eyes, there is no big difference, the most impressive thing is the murder weapon in the chest, the forehead......

"Immoral!"

Of course, Li Xiaomei will not admit that she is really scared. Now she remembered the whiteness of Mrs. Watson's chest, and her face couldn't help but feel feverish.

"Haha, what's this. Isn't there still a leaky milk suit in North Korea? ”

This was the return of the Han army stationed in Korea, which frightened Chen Mingdu, and now it has been banned by the North Korean government. After Chen Ming received this news, he couldn't believe that North Korea, which has been influenced by Confucianism for thousands of years and claims to be Little China, has leaked milk among the people??? It's jaw-dropping.

In the end, it's not impossible. The two classes of aristocrats in North Korea have never treated the lower classes of untouchables as anything to themselves.

In the evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward to invite Watson and his entourage, at which Watson himself expressed his unswerving obsession with flying scissors, and Huang Song, who came forward, agreed that all the materials would be sent to the British Embassy the next day.

Since the British are obsessed with flying scissors, let them build them themselves and experience them for themselves. Without such a powerful weapon as rockets, the combat effectiveness of the flying scissors bow warship has plummeted.

Or maybe the British are confident that they can correct the stinking problems of the flying scissors, or that they can play a new trick? Whatever.

Negotiations between China and Britain came to an end, and a second 'date' was held two days after the first meeting. This gave Perrier, who had been keeping a close watch, feeling like he was being put on the fire, and the man he sent out reported that the Englishman was in a very optimistic state of mind, which made him anxious.

Under the monitoring of national security, Chen Ming clearly 'saw' that in the next few days, the ambassadors of many European countries led by France were like flies isolated from carrion by the screen, contacting again and again, looking for opportunities to pass through this screen.

"Your Majesty, Perrier is in a hurry, and he has sent a message to the Foreign Office, asking us to consider carefully, not to be moved by interests, and to make a resolution with the British that threatens and harms the interests of France, and that in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to withdraw the French forces in Quang Nam first."

"Ha, is this to abandon the layout of Quang Nam?"

Chen Ming was slightly surprised, and at the same time shocked by Perrier, this guy's courage is not small.

A series of actions of the French in Quang Nam have always been unswerving after the outbreak of the North American War, plus the Quang Nam Army has been pressed and beaten by the Xishan Army many times on the battlefield, obviously the country has sunset, but the French are still unswervingly supporting them, it can be seen that the person who mastered all this is an absolutely powerful figure in the French political arena, and Louis XVI, who has ascended the throne of France, is the biggest suspect.

The attitude of the big man was not something that Perrier could deny if he wanted to, and the resolution of Paris was not something that he could resist as an ambassador who had been promoted to the rank of representative of the East India Company. Now Perrier is using Quang Nam as a 'bridge of friendship', and personally, this sincerity is not insignificant.

"Dragged on for two days. Get this out to Watson, we need all the information they have on Burma. ”

The latter is a tropical rainforest area, the terrain is complex, relying on Siam and Shan State Tusi to investigate Burma in recent years, although China has learned a lot of internal information about Burma, as well as the topography of mountains and rivers, but when it comes to the real war, these understandings are far from being 'clear'. In particular, the Burmese army is equipped with hot firearms.

"The flying pigeon reported to Guangdong, so that the Nanyang sailors quickly contacted Guangnanguo. Tell them that the French have let go of Quang Nam, and that Quang Nam is exhausted. As long as the Ruan family is willing to attach it, I will entitle Nguyen Phuc Chun as the prince of the country. ”

"Let the Nanyang Naval Division pay attention to the movements of the Xishan Army. If Ruan Wenyue wanted to pick the fruit, he resolutely knocked his hand back. ”

What is the population of Annan now? Less than four million. The ongoing fighting has cost many civilians their lives and many more people have fled to neighbouring countries, including the city of Hongji.

China has also brought in many women from Vietnam to marry the singles who immigrated to Nanyang. Vietnamese men are lazy, lazy and hardworking, and they are the Nanyang monkeys. But Vietnamese women are very good, although many people look a little like that, with huge faces, valgus cheekbones, slightly sunken eyes, a flat nose, thick lips and protruding forwards, dark skin, small skin, short chin, and a lot of shortcomings to say, but Vietnamese women are very hard-working. For some people who can't marry a daughter-in-law, that's enough.

No matter what the reason is, it's because of the customs and culture, or because there is a real problem with the genetics of the human race, anyway, it is enough to be hardworking and tenacious.

When the war swept through the whole territory of Annam, China's slave trade quickly expanded to Annam after Korea opened the source of evil. Just as many Korean slaves were 'trafficked' by the aristocratic army of Korea, the same is true for Annan.

Quang Nam, North Zheng and Xishan Army, the three local forces of Annam, which one of them did not do this?

At most, Vietnam still has a population of three to four million, and it is very likely that it will not reach 3.5 million. If these populations are united, it is still a large force, such as the populations of Siam and Myanmar, which are less than this number. In Annam, however, the population of less than 4 million is scattered among four powers.

Even the Xishan Army and Beizheng, which have the largest population base, have only 30,000 or 40,000 real basic troops in their hands. The overall size of their respective armies has generally fallen to the 100,000-strong level.

A large number of young men died in the war, which destroyed Annam's economy and agriculture, and also produced many widows and unmarried adult women among the people of Annam.

The 'sincerity' of the French gave Chen Ming the moment to close the net.

The dying Quang Nam Kingdom was now cornered, and when the French cut off their support for it, it was only a matter of time before Quang Nam Kingdom perished under the attack of the Xishan Army. At this time, Chen Han intervened, and the harvest would be far greater than the pay.

That's how peculiar things are!

While Chen Ming was paying close attention to the negotiations with the British, the French unexpectedly sent gifts.

"Smack."

The ambassador of Quang Nam to Beijing, who received the 'secret news', panicked and knocked all the tea cups on the table to the ground. But at this time, he definitely didn't have the heart to see if the tea stains had stained the carpet, nor did he jump like thunder and rage, but the whole person trembled like a frightened child.

God, what news did he just 'buy'? Is this true?

Song Fuhe couldn't imagine that after losing the support of the French at this moment, the Quang Nam Kingdom would be able to support the offensive of the Xishan Army for a few days?

The guns that the latter always brought from Manila were the life supply line of Quang Nam.

It was obviously a bright summer outside, but Song Fuhe felt that the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

The rebellion of the Xishan Army once spent a lot of effort to communicate with France, money, and interests, but in the end it was not negotiated; Nguyen Van Hue also sent his own water bandits to sneak attack, but to no avail.

The Chinese cleaned up the sea bandits in the Halong Bay area, and a large number of Ann Nam bandits rushed to the south, either attached to the Xishan Army or attached to the Quang Nam country. On both sides, it was rotten peach to rotten pear, half a catty and eight taels, and the fight was equal.

But the 'corner' that the Xishan Army has dug over and over again with a hoe has not collapsed, and now it is because of a 'guess'......

Is this the sorrow of small countries?

Song Fuhe easily stabilized his mind, but his mind was spinning over and over again, and he couldn't think of a suitable way.

If Quang Nam wants to support it now, it must have external support.

The French have already stopped, the Chinese have not reached out, who does this make him go to? Do you want to go to Phnom Penh or Siam?

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Song Fuhe was dizzy, and the whole person didn't know how to get better.

Soon, Nguyen Van Giangh, the counselor of the embassy who received the news, came to the office with a blue face, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the office was as cold as an ice cave.

Although they had not yet gone to the French embassy, the person who sold them the news was absolutely credible and could not go wrong. didn't run to the French immediately, but Song Fuhe just wanted to keep a little hope in his heart.

"Is Quang Nam going to be finished?"

Song Fuhe was about to cry.

Half an hour passed, and the two of them smoked one cigarette after another in a dull manner, and the office was full of clouds. Song Fuhe finally stood up, "Let's go." Go to the French. Whether it's life or death, come to a good time. ”

After sitting in this short period of time, Song Fuhe found that he had just felt uncomfortable in his heart, and the endless distractions and terrifying thoughts were like a grinding plate, crushing his entire heart into minced meat.

At the Xishan Military Embassy, which is some distance away from the Guangnan Embassy, Jiao Fulu, the Chinese ambassador of the Xishan Army stationed in Nanjing, was about to jump up with joy at this time.

"Hahaha, the Lord is expected to have a great cause, and a great cause is also expected."

Without the support of the French, Nam Nguyen did not think that Nguyen Phuc Chun would be able to hold out for long, although Nguyen Phuc Chun had cut off a large number of heads of Truong Phuc Luan and his henchmen, but the military and political affairs of Quang Nam in the past two years were still the same darkness.

Then Du Renqing and Zhu Wen are about to develop into Panzhen. Nguyen Phuc Chun still spends all day drinking in the harem, looking for fun.

"Go and keep an eye on Song Fuhe's every move for me immediately."

Jiao Fulu is the leader of the Xishan Army, and now he is the son of Jiao Xian, the teacher of Ruan Wenyue, who has now called himself Xishan, not only has a deep trust in Ruan Wenyue, but also has a good relationship with Ruan Wenhui, another big boss of the Xishan Army, and is familiar with Chinese culture and can speak fluent Chinese, which is the best choice to come to Nanjing as an envoy.

Jiao Fulu has been in Nanjing for a year and a half so far.

Song Phuc Ho and Nguyen Van Thanh came out of the French embassy in frustration, the ruthlessness of the Gallic rooster did not leave a little remnant, and Perrier himself was willing to take on such a big responsibility, how could he be moved by Song Phuc Hoa's few words? The final result was exactly the same as Song Fuhe had expected.

Song Fuhe, who walked out of the gate of the French Embassy, stood on the lively Shangguan Street Avenue, but felt as if he was in the quiet primeval forest deep in the valley.

The sun in Nanjing in May is already very hot, shining on the body, and it will not take long to make people sweat. But Song Fuhe only felt a cold that was about to freeze his whole body.

"Oh, look, look. What do I see? ”

Jiao Fulu's familiar voice suddenly exploded in Song Fuhe's ears, as mortal enemies who did not share the sky, so they were very familiar.

"An old dog, an old dog with no home to go back to."

Jiao Fulu, who stepped down from the carriage, walked up to Song Fuhe and Ruan Van King step by step with a triumphant smile. His expression was so proud at the moment, and his eyes were so contemptuous.

"The lost dog. Without the French, Nguyen Phuc Chun's head would have been cut off by our king in less than next year. ”

Standing in front of the lowly enemy and showing off his superiority, Jiao Fulu felt a heartfelt refreshment. Just like the tabloid said, I drank a bowl of ice water in the dog days and got home.

Jiao Fulu looked at Song Fuhe with the eyes of slaughtering pigs and sheep, although this incompetent person has no ability, but he himself is not without any value. Song Phuc Hoa, who had served as Quang Nam's ambassador since the establishment of Quang Nam's embassy in Nanjing, was far more valuable in terms of intelligence than Nguyen Van Thanh near him.

Jiao Fulu, who already regarded Guangnanguo as a dead man, still wanted to squeeze out the last bit of Song Fuhe's value. Everything was settled when these two people walked out of the French embassy in despair!

Song Fuhe smiled miserably.

"yes, I'm just a homeless old dog." This metaphor reminded him of his grandfather.

"There are people at the east gate, their cheeks are like Yao, their items are like Gao pottery, and their shoulders are subproductive, but they want to be less than three inches below Yu. Tired like a lost dog. ”

Confucius smiled happily and said, "The shape is the end." And it is like a lost dog, yes! Oh yes! ”

This is a period that every Confucian child spends.

At that time, the old master was very miserable, but he still had disciples and his own reputation.

What about Nanguang now? It's also an old dog without an owner. And there is nothing left.

Not to mention the surroundings of the country, even in the city of Nanjing, the reputation of Guangnan is also stinky. Encountering a lord like Nguyen Phuc Chun is a great misfortune for Quang Nam.

"But though the kingdom is about to perish, there is also loyalty."

The endless anger also spurred out Song Fuhe's dissatisfaction with the indifference of the French, he dragged Jiao Fulu over, raised his fist, and smashed Jiao Fulu's front frame with a punch.

With a cry of 'oops', Jiao Fulu fell to the ground, and then Song Fuhe pounced directly, picked up his fist and smashed it again. When Ruan Wenjing, who was beside him, hadn't come back to his senses......

"Oh God."

Perrier, who was standing behind the window screen on the second floor, closed his eyes. It is hard to imagine that Song Fuhe, who has always been respectful in front of him, can burst out with such a 'heroic' at this moment.

"Quick, get them away."

Pushing open the window, Perrier shouted at the two guards at the entrance of the embassy.

As a gathering place for foreign embassies in China, Shangguan Street has the first-class police force in Nanjing, and soon the farce in front of the French embassy attracted the idea of the police, and the whistle sounded, and the group was quickly 'suppressed'.

When the policemen saw Song Bock and the half-bloody ear spit out of his mouth, everyone looked at this envoy of Quang Nam with an average folk evaluation. No matter how sparse the Guangnan Kingdom is, this Song Fuhe is still bloody enough.

Jiao Fulu's screams resounded throughout Shangguan Street.

It didn't take long for the entire Shangguan Street to spread the scene that happened in front of the French Embassy, and then the whole city of Nanjing.

This very abrupt and abrupt incident made Song Fuhe, a guy who is definitely a mediocre and incompetent person in the impression of many people, have a 'new look'. At least this person still has the courage to 'fight', which is much better than the water being too cold.

Sustained state propaganda can be very cognitive changer.

Nowadays, the image of Confucianism in the minds of many Chinese people is fixed on the image of a weak scholar who cannot pick a hand and cannot be mentioned, just like Jiao Fulu, who was beaten by Song Fuhe, suddenly a 'man' came, which is very surprising. (To be continued.) )
