Chapter 134: A Visit to the Qing Dynasty
went downstairs, Liu Weiguo and the others greeted them with a smile on their faces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you can't wait for the letter, you won't leave.
Nan Feng had a calm face and said helplessly: "Come over tomorrow!" We'll discuss the details! ”。
Hearing this, Liu Weiguo and the others immediately understood the meaning. Immediately showed two big white teeth, smiling brightly, the sun was shining.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zhang Xiao also asked: "Then you agreed?" ”。
Looking at his anxious eyes, Nan Feng threatened angrily: "If you don't leave, I will change my mind!" ”。
As soon as he said this, everyone quickly ran away satisfied.
But in the next second, Nan Feng shouted coldly: "Wait! ”。 Because he found that the food on the table had obviously been touched. For example, there are only three spring rolls left, just enough for their family. There is also braised pork, mostly red dates, potatoes, carrots and other ingredients, and even the diced meat is pitiful!
Nanxi also wondered: "Why did my egg custard change color?" ”。 Isn't it? The orange egg custard has become a bowl of clear water that can look in the mirror. Except for a little scrap of soup floating on the face, how can you see the appearance of egg custard.
Without waiting for Nanfeng to ask, Liu Weiguo turned his back to him and reported urgently: "It's not me!" It's Zhang Xiao, that foodie! ”。 As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.
He was the last to go, so this and basin were detained, and no one argued.
Wang Yanran laughed for a while before returning to normal. Let Nanfeng them wait. When I went back to the kitchen, I made a table of good dishes.
The next day, Liu Weiguo, Zhang Xiao and others came early again.
When he learned that Liu Weiguo was indiscriminately deducting and basins, Zhang Xiao fought with him for a while.
It wasn't until Nan Feng mentioned Vietnam that they returned to the topic.
If the Ming Dynasty wants to take Vietnam, the key is in the word 'fast'. If Britain and Spain react slowly and intervene strongly, it is likely to trigger a conflict and ignite the war and fire in the South Seas in advance. In that case, Vietnam's value will be greatly weakened.
Therefore, the rhythm of this war must be well grasped. According to the current communication conditions, it will take at least three months for Britain and Spain to get informed and then decide to intervene.
Therefore, it is best for Daming to win within three months of intervention. Even if you don't take the whole of Vietnam, it doesn't matter. As long as the defeat of the Xishan Dynasty has been decided, there is no way to return to the sky. That's the best-case scenario.
But that's the problem!
The methods of warfare in this era are still very primitive and backward. Without modern weapons, there is simply no 'blitzkrieg'.
At this point, the field was at an impasse again.
However, after observing the map of Vietnam for a while, Zhang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Pointing to the location of Hue, he said, "You see the capital of the Tay Son Dynasty, which is by the sea. I heard that the emperor was old, so he lived in it. Why don't we take Da Ming Erlang ashore on the ship and capture him? ”。
The so-called thief captures the king first! It's worth a try!
The deadlock was broken in an instant, and everyone began to verify its feasibility again.
After discussion, Nan Feng finally decided to choose Zhang Xiao's 'dragon capture strategy'. Say hello to Nguyen Phuc Anh and let him launch the fiercest attack to attract the attention of the Tay Son Dynasty. Then the army of the Ming Dynasty, advancing by land and water, attacked the city of Hue.
After that, the chaos was handed over to Ruan Fuying to clean up. When it's almost time, let him ascend the throne and become emperor.
At this point, Ruan Phuc Anh can go to the west to see the Buddha. Anyway, he believes in Buddhism, and Daming gave him a ride, which can be regarded as 'adult beauty'.
As a result, the Vietnamese plan was initially agreed.
Of course, the interior of the Xishan Dynasty is also full of contradictions. When the Ming Dynasty attacks them, they must make good use of it. For example, let the local intelligence department give full play to the skills of fanning the flames. It is best that when the Ming raided Hue, they were still fighting internally.
It's just that this matter still can't be bypassed by the cabinet. Nanfeng wrote down this plan 1510 and asked Zhang Yang to take it back by the way. It's best if you get an answer, and if you can't, that's okay. Because by that time, Vietnam would probably have fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Just when they were racking their brains and trying their best for Vietnam. In the waters of the Dongsha Islands in the Qing Kingdom, a huge fleet of ships marched on the surface of the churning sea.
White-feathered seagulls flutter their wings happily, sometimes skimming the water, catching delicious fatty fish.
The clouds in the sky also faded surprisingly, revealing a large expanse of blue sky. The sea water is reflected in a more blue light.
For the crew who runs on the water all year round, such a sea view is ordinary and boring. So all the crew on deck, except for the necessary crew, hid in the cabin.
At this time, in a single cabin, the beautiful Daming bed is placed in the southeast corner, and the silk quilt is tiled on top. Next to the bed, there is also a Daming vanity mirror. The color of the wood is classical. At first glance, it is deep and elegant.
And in the mirror, there is a printed face with curly hair parted in the middle and a slightly larger face. He has inverted eyebrows and a double chin. The skin is loose and slightly old. But between the eyebrows, a shrewd temperament is naturally revealed.
This was the British envoy to the Qing Dynasty, George Margorny, also known as Count Margorny.
It's just that he is not looking at his appearance, but lowering his head and carefully examining the gift list in his hand.
This is a gift to Emperor Qing Qianlong! Originally, I wanted to celebrate his birthday. However, due to war, it was delayed for two years. Now I go there, and I don't know if I can achieve the desired effect.
I still remember that before leaving, the Minister of the Interior, Dundastyi, warned him: "As soon as you arrive in the Qing Kingdom, you will be received." In view of the fact that the etiquette of the Qing Kingdom is different from that of your own country, you must not resist it and fail to abide by it. It is necessary not to damage the majesty of the king, but also to ensure that it is not bound by the trivial matters of etiquette. ”。
Now that I think about it, I still hear these words.
He understood that the whole of Britain was waiting for good news from top to bottom on this trip. This gift was given at the wrong time, which made him a little worried for no reason. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen at that time, which will lead to the breakdown of negotiations.
Especially after the tiger of the Ming Dynasty came out of Nanyang, it was even more important to visit the Qing Kingdom.
As a China fan, he knows. The previous dynasty of the Qing State was the Ming Kingdom. Judging from the barbaric acts of the Qing State against the descendants of the Ming royal family, it is obvious that there are extremely taboo and fears that there will be individuals or groups who will challenge the authority of the Qing State.
And this Ming Dynasty, although there are no descendants of the Ming royal family, there are no descendants of the Zhu family. Even his people are not predominantly Chinese. But in this country, the Chinese language is spoken, the Chinese language is written, the Chinese etiquette is practiced, and the Chinese habits are revived. What Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival are exactly the same as those of the Qing Dynasty.
Although there are some differences in specific etiquette. But in the general direction, they are all the same.
What's more, in this country where the Chinese are not dominant, it is the Chinese who dominate. Even the natives, who are the largest in number, are bent on par with the Chinese.
So to a certain extent, this Ming Dynasty is homogeneous and homologous to the Qing Kingdom. This time, he visited the Qing Kingdom, one for trade, and the other for joining forces with the Qing State to drive the Ming tiger, out of the South Seas.
In terms of importance, the latter carries more weight than the former.
