Chapter 823: The Focus is on the West!

An explosion rang out on the pier in Hanoi, shattering the sky. The Nanjing envoy who had been attacked was blown up in a blur of flesh and blood, and the entourage who had not been affected by the explosion at the scene was hurriedly sent to the ship, and then the ship left the port of Hanoi without stopping. He didn't even care about Hong Yinghui, who wanted to return to Nanjing with them.

Only a stain of blood was left in the panicked docks.

Hong Yinghui stood by the dock, the whole person was like a statue carved from ice, and his heart was churning with endless coldness.

"It's over, it's all over." Now Hanoi will definitely die.

Someone was so impulsive that he threw a bomb at the envoy from Nanjing - Hong Yinghui didn't think it was Zhou Zinan playing a show, the moment the bomb exploded just now, although the smoke was filled, but the shrapnel was flying, Hong Yinghui still paid attention to Zhou Zinan, Zhou Zinan and an entourage next to him couldn't fake it because they were covered in blood. Hong Yinghui himself is also a person with an intelligence background, and he thinks that he still has some eyesight, and Zhou Zinan's frightened appearance at the moment of attack is not fake.

If it's fake, people can look scared. But the subconscious look of a person at the moment of sudden attack is difficult to fake!

It's not fake, that's true.

Did someone really drop a bomb on the Nanjing envoy at the Hanoi pier?

So who is finished if Hanoi is not finished?

Nanjing is staring at Hanoi with teeth and claws, which is simply the handle of taking the initiative to send it to the door.

Hong Yinghui can imagine what the scene is. The Nanjing soldiers were overwhelmed, and Hanoi was crushed into powder......

Besides, what is the difference between real and fake at this time?

Looking at the shadow of Nanjing's ship going away, Hong Yinghui looked sad.

……

Chen Ming soon received a quick report from Hanoi, and when he saw Zhou Zinan's cry of blood in the book, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He doesn't care whether Zhou Zinan was really bombed or faked - he can still be in the book, which shows that people are alive. The fold only says that it is injured, which means that there are no arms and legs, and there is no danger to life.

Zhou Zinan's mission to Hanoi has already been achieved.

Chen Ming will not go to China for the details of this trip to Hanoi, there is no need. He already knew the person 'Zhou Zinan', which was a usable talent.

Because since he can do the big thing of his trip to Hanoi, Zhou Zinan is not a person who follows the rules. If he really was a conformist person, his trip to Hanoi would not have ended up like this.

This is a very direct evidence-based relationship, Zhou Zinan is a bold and reckless person. And such a person is far better in the current era than a timid and mediocre person.

That's what Chen Ming thinks.

There is no doubt about what happened next.

Chen Ming was 'furious', and immediately ordered the land and water armies of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to go out and level Hanoi.

Taking advantage of the conflict between the Aborigines of Annam and the Governorate under the rule of the Hanoi Governorate, sending troops at this moment can have the greatest impact on the support of the Aborigines of Annam for Hanoi. Chen Jie just wanted to run into the mountains to fight guerrillas, but he didn't necessarily have such a mass base.

Because most of the people under his command were natives of Annam, and when these people were resentful of the Hanoi Governor's Mansion, Chen Han came in. Psychologically, they will have a good impression of Chen Han.

This would lay a good foundation for Chen Han to form a rule in northern Annam.

As for Sanjie's wail, who cares.

The emperor's will is the direction in which the entire Chen Han is heading.

With the victory of the Sino-Western War and the establishment of the Chen clan feudal kingdoms, the painting cake of overseas feudal countries is no longer a pure flower in the mirror, it is a tangible benefit.

Many nobles and nobles knew that the Emperor had 'prophesied' that in a few years there would be a great upheaval in Europe, which would be born in France, and that it would burn the whole continent of Europe, and that the energies of the Europeans would be completely engulfed in this war in the next decade or two. Then, Chen Han's great opportunity will come.

So while the emperor was brewing a big move a few years later, he first swept away this little bit under his nose, who would not agree to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? No matter how stupid a person is, he will not say that Hanoi is not immoral and should not be levied!

Some of those closer also knew that although the emperor was working to solve Annam, he was actually focusing more on the heavenly world.

Eleven or twelve years had passed since the last war between the Ottomans and the Russians, and the Ottomans, who had recovered to a certain extent, felt that their strength had increased greatly in recent years, so they embarked on a revenge plan. Sixty-year-old Abdul Hamid I was not in good health, he was not a wise and martial monarch, and the Ottomans were also pushing reforms, but these were more focused on the military aspect.

The mediocre Abdul Hamid I knew very well that his approach to changing the army would touch the interests of the increasingly corrupt Janissaries and the Sipahi (feudal cavalry), so Abdul Hamid I first established a new army outside, and then broke free from the control of the Janissaries under the guise of patrolling, which revealed the true face of Lushan.

The Janissaries in Istanbul were stunned, as if for the first time they had discovered that the Sultan, who had been imprisoned in the palace until he was in his forties, and who had always been politically mediocre, could come to his hands.

Abdul Hamid I also had the support of China, and the Janissaries did not dare to install a new sultan to fight against Abdul Hamid I. Moreover, Abdul Hamid I had no intention of slapping them to death.

After a period of tension that erupted in the Ottoman Empire a few years ago, the political and military situation was in a balance, and the Ottomans' difficult political reforms unfolded little by little in this balance.

Then Abdul Hamid I's health became worse and worse, and after the Russians devoured a part of Poland, their national policy of advancing southward remained unchanged, and the Black Sea Fleet was established, which was a serious provocation and irritation for the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottomans, who had grown stronger in their hands, also sought revenge, and Abdul Hamid I had only one son, who was only seven years old this year, and his health was no longer good, so the position of sultan was not destined to be inherited by his son.

Then he sat on the throne of the Sultan for such a time, and he should leave a little memorable deed.

His elder brother Mustafa III died of illness before the end of the last Russo-Turkish war, and the fiasco of the fifth Russo-Turkish war was definitely a major reason for Mustafa III's early death. Abdul Hamid I faced great humiliation at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and now he does not live long, and Abdul Hamid I hopes to wash away this shame. In this way, even after death, he was at ease.

So the Ottomans demanded that Russia return the Crimean Khanate, recognize Georgia as their dependencies, and authorize Turkey to inspect Russian merchant ships passing through the straits. This, of course, is unacceptable to St. Petersburg.

Today, on the front line of the Caucasus, the breath of war is getting stronger and stronger, and a sense of imminence tells everyone that the sixth Russian-Turkish war is not far off.

Therefore, the war between China and Russia is not far off. Although it was very abrupt, China signed an alliance agreement with the Ottomans, which must be observed.

Compared to the seemingly sudden-onset Russo-Chinese war, Hanoi is just an appetizer.

Especially for the Chen Han generals who have fought in old battles, for them who have been fighting non-stop since the beginning of the army, the battle of Dangping Hanoi is very easy. The General Staff did not know how well they had captured the military, economic, political, and transportation information of Hanoi, even a small stream in the mountains was marked on the map.

The war for the destruction of Hanoi and even the whole of Annam was carried out many times by the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Now to send troops to Hanoi, it will be too easy.

Chen Ming did not dispatch a large army, except for a naval division unit, he used the border guard troops deployed in Guangxi by the Southwest Military Region.

Of course, the security forces in Hongji City are also busy.

It's just that their task is not to attack, but to guard. Hongji City is the main supplier of coal in the southeast half of the country, and it must not be chaotic, let alone flooded by a large number of refugees.

In the war, Hongji City only needs to make a supply area, which can replenish the supply of the naval division's troops, or the marine troops carried by the naval division can launch an attack on Hanoi from them. But as far as Hongji City itself is concerned, it is still good to be honestly a 'paradise'.

The Hanoi army was completely unable to withstand the attack of the Wehrmacht, either on shore or at sea.

Chen Jie's expression these days is wooden, because he knows that his 'persistence' is coming to an end.

In order to avoid the irresistible Chen Han, he was able to lead his troops and followers over the heavy mountains in the southwest of Fujian, pass through northern Guangdong and enter Guangdong, and then retreat from Guangdong to Langshan......

But now he doesn't have the strength to lead people from Hanoi to the mountains of Vientiane and Phnom Penh, and continue to rebel against Chen Han.

He is not very old, but his heart is old, and the failure of the 'reform' in the past few years has been a major blow to his spirit, and now he is too old to move.

The person who is just as restrained as him is Yang Zhengjie.

Two of the three heroes already had the heart of submission to Nanjing in their chests, so it was Wu Xiongguang who was in charge of the resistance in Hanoi.

This person's hatred for Chen Han is really strong.

From the moment of the wharf explosion, he bluntly demanded military power from Chen Jie and Yang Zhengjie.

You are all timid, you don't have the heart of the past, I Wu Xiongguang still has. I'm going to fight Chen Han to the end.

Guangxi's border guards killed three brigades, and compared with the strength of the Hanoi army, this is a force they can't resist. Wu Xiongguang didn't expect that he could win, but he definitely wanted Chen Han to suffer a big loss.

Even the smallest victory can inspire others!

He chose Chen Han's Marine Corps.

The strength of the latter was only three or four thousand, which was about a reinforced regiment. As long as he plans carefully, Wu Xiongguang is still sure that he will eat it in one bite.

At four o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of Hanoi soldiers entered their defensive positions. Two miles to the opposite side of them was the attack position of the Marine Corps, which stretched for more than four miles from north to south.

Although the forces were weak, the Marine Corps was never set up to fight defensive battles, their mission was to attack.

If the war between warships and coastal fortifications was a 'land battle', then the marines were the first to dare to die.

Wu Xiongguang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, if he could defeat Chen Han openly for a while, he would die, and seeing his father would be enough to comfort.

His gaze continued to stare at the position of the Marine Corps opposite, and the sculpture generally held a telescope to look east. In the night, the firelight on the position of the Marine Corps of the Navy Division was like the most seductive beauty, attracting Wu Xiongguang's attention.

Hanoi is ready to fight back!

Most of the military strength that Wu Xiongguang still held in his hands had gathered in this place, which was the largest force that Wu Xiongguang could gather. After Chen Han's sailors and marines broke away from the sheltered distance of the warship, the fighters had already appeared. Wu Xiongguang endured until now, just looking for the best opportunity.

The late autumn night doesn't make people feel the chill, this is Annan. At four o'clock in the morning, it was dark.

In the sortie positions of the Hanoi army, there was no coughing or whispering, only the occasional slight collision of bayonets and rifles.

The brigade of people crowded together, looking nervously at each other, silently tightening their shoelaces and cuff leggings. The officers did not dare to shout loudly or gather their troops, and two miles away was the position of the Tran Han Marine Division, and Hanoi whispered the orders one by one in the way of passing on the front and the back. The countless Hanoi infantrymen gathered together were on standby with bated breath, and the officers and men of the vanguard were armed with spears and machetes, and at most grenades were pinned to their waists, and they did not carry muskets at all.

Because many people know that in night battles, a lance machete is much better than a bayonet on a rifle.

At this moment, if there are night vision equipment on the position of the Marine Corps, and the hot air balloon can fly high and look down on the bird's eye view, you can clearly see that a large number of soldiers of the Marine Division have gathered in the second-line position, and the soldiers on the first-line position have only one battalion.

The strength of a battalion, scattered on such a long front, is like sprinkling pepper.

The second-line position, on the other hand, not only gathered more than 2,000 troops, but also had forty or fifty artillery pieces and mortars behind them, and there was also a fierce rocket artillery in the position.

It's a death trap. As long as the Hanoi people dare to kill at night, the front-line marines will lead them into this trap. The Marines will definitely give the Hanoi army who have been slaughtered a feast of flesh and blood with the noise of fireworks.

Minutes and seconds passed. At five o'clock, the sky turned a deep blue.

The morning breeze was blowing, and the moisture from the sea not far away was slowly dissipating, and only a thin layer of mist seemed to be on the Red River. Occasionally, one or two birds chirped, but it made this Li obviously more quiet.

Countless bayonets condensed with water vapor flashed on both sides of the battle line!

The commander of the Hanoi artillery team violently ripped off the hat on his head, drew his saber, and slashed forward, "Fire!" ”

As a force wearing the hat of 'crippled desire', there are always some people who hate Chen Han to the core. For example, the current commander, he is from Guangzhou, from the Han Army's Zhenghongqi.

More than 80 artillery pieces spewed out tongues of fire with the pull of ropes!

In order to fight this battle well, Wu Xiongguang even moved out the rusty front-loading arquebus in the warehouse, and you must know that in recent years, the Hanoi army has gradually replaced the flintlock artillery. Everything was turned out, and Wu Xiongguang also tried his best.

Along with the artillery, the charging of soldiers was heard.

The distance of two miles does not take a qualified soldier ten minutes to reach. Although the Tran Han soldiers on the front line shot and fired rockets one after another, the attacking Hanoi army suffered a lot of damage.

But there are few of them.

The Hanoi army rushed to the position in one go, and then quickly defeated the Marine Corps in a white-knuckle battle, chasing after the latter's ass and rushing straight to the second trench.

The second line is the location of the main force of the Chen Han Marine Division, the location of the trap. When the fleeing marines entered the front 200 meters of the second-line position, the artillery and rockets of the second-line position opened fire.

Columns of smoke rose in the Hanoi army, and the distance in front of the trench was 300 to 500 meters, and the first-line defenders who led the pursuers to a distance of 200 meters were difficult to be injured by mistake.

The pillar of smoke shot straight into the sky, and at the same time as the pillar of smoke rose, the fire flashed between the positions, the dust flew, and a human body could be vaguely seen lifted into the sky. The earth and rocks shook and fell with a bang. The entire second-line trenches were shrouded in pungent smoke, and the thick smell of gunpowder filled the trenches, choking people out of breath.

In fact, the most painful people in the outbreak of this war are not only Chen Jie and Yang Zhengjie, but also Lin Ahai.

Lin Ahai, who was sent to Hongji Port, and then quietly lurked again, and has been living in Hongji Port for a long, long time. His peaceful and happy life was shattered because he was initiated.
