Chapter 294: The Inside Story (3) Doubts

This is because many generals loyal to the Nguyen Dynasty were not accustomed to the indirect control of Vietnam by the Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info colluded with those rebels and went to the Qing Kingdom to lobby Emperor Qianlong. It was hoped that the Qing State would support the Nguyen Dynasty and send troops to Vietnam to drive out the Ming forces entrenched in the country.

As a subject state of the Qing Dynasty, it is normal for Vietnam to make such a request.

And in recent years, as Vietnam has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, the population outflow from Guangxi and Yunnan provinces has become more and more serious. Especially in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hubei and other places that are deeply influenced by the White Lotus Sect, many displaced people, under the instigation of the White Lotus Sect, went all the way south to the Ming Dynasty, which was blown like a fairyland on earth.

No matter how much the government of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces tries to block it, it will not be able to close the door to the population. Moreover, the White Lotus Sect also deliberately contacted officials in various places. Those who can be bought are bought, and those who cannot be bought, they are killed.

The former political envoys, governors, governors, admirals and other high-ranking officials of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces are like watching flowers, and one of them dies. There are those who cut off their heads directly, those who drowned in the water, those who were poisoned, and even those who were slaughtered.

Such a terrifying method made the officials of these two provinces learn to be obedient. When the displaced people leave the country, they all turn a blind eye and do not dare to meddle in their affairs. After all, the death of those predecessors is the best wake-up call.

And the Ming merchant goods, also from the Qing border, a steady stream of into the Qing country. And in order to deal with the 'forbidden goods' of the Qing Dynasty, these smuggled Ming commercial goods have been changed and tried not to be so eye-catching.

The ban of the Qing State is like waste paper.

Although Emperor Qianlong has been sitting in the high hall, he has also heard about these things. If the Ming Dynasty is really driven out of Vietnam, the entrance to immigration can also be completely blocked. The smuggled goods of the Ming Dynasty can also be fully withdrawn from the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this matter is still extremely beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.

But as long as he thought of the price paid, Emperor Qianlong was a little unhappy!

After all, a few years ago, when the Xishan Dynasty was first established, the Qing State deliberately sent troops to Vietnam in order to support the restoration of the Later Li Dynasty. But in the end, it suffered a crushing defeat. As a result, the Qing State had to save face and recognize the rule of the Tay Son Dynasty over Vietnam.

This loss of soldiers almost made Qing Guo lose face.

Now this Ming Dynasty, who indirectly controls Vietnam, is even more powerful than the Naxi Shan Dynasty. Thinking of the royal family of the Xishan Dynasty, it was wiped out by the Ming Dynasty overnight. The members of the royal family were also exiled to an overseas desert island.

Later, Nguyen Phuc Anh, who unified Vietnam and established the Nguyen Dynasty, did not sit on the seat for long before he became seriously ill and died.

Now the whole of Vietnam is ridden by the Ming Dynasty.

Such a fact made Emperor Qianlong deeply vigilant.

But fortunately, what kind of republican Ming is this Ming Dynasty, there is no king, only a president. The method of election is still directly elected by the people of the whole country. And there is a limited term!

If it is exceeded, it will have to be re-elected.

This has nothing to do with Zhu's Daming. The customs are also significantly different from those of the Qing Dynasty.

Judging from these signs, it seems that the Ming will not threaten his rule!

Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty controlled Vietnam, the border between Qing and Vietnam has been peaceful. Apart from the fact that many displaced people secretly crossed the border and smuggled commercial goods, there were no major wars.

The opium smuggling, which had been rampant in the past, was curbed as a result.

This made Emperor Qianlong feel that there was no need to really offend the Ming Dynasty!

What's more, the Ming Dynasty is a maritime power, and the Qing Dynasty implements a sea ban, which can be regarded as a land power. As long as you guard the Central Plains laid down by your ancestors and enjoy the richness and prosperity of the Central Plains, it is enough. The noisy noise, fighting, killing and killing in other places have nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, there is no need for that, I have to get along with Daming.

And the Ming Dynasty is on a large island with a vast area. It is separated from the Qing Kingdom by 108,000 miles. Even if the Ming is temporarily driven out of Vietnam, the Ming, known as a maritime power, will return sooner or later.

It doesn't make sense to cut the grass like this without removing the roots!

The most important thing is that Emperor Qianlong also knew the incompetence of the Eight Banners Army!

Like when he inspected Jiangnan before, he saw the children of the Eight Banners, with false arrows, far less than half of the ancestors. In the nearly two hundred years since it entered the Central Plains, the Eight Banners Army has lived too comfortably. As a result, in his bones, he has long lost the bloodiness outside the original gate.

This ability to ride a horse and shoot arrows is no longer comparable to that of the ancestors.

With such an army, how can we win the Ming army. It's not that he hasn't heard that Daming's firearms are extremely sharp. When fighting, he didn't even touch his face, he slammed and killed the enemy thousands of miles away.

Although there was a heavy element of boasting in this, he remembered the experience of his ancestors attacking the Ming Empire.

At that time, the firearms of the Ming Empire caused great losses to the Qing Dynasty.

Now the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are a hundred times more powerful than the Ming Empire. The Qing Dynasty soldiers, how many casualties should have been.

If there is another joke about the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, then it will be difficult for him to keep his 'perfect martial arts'.

So when these factors are combined, he has no heart to dispatch heavy troops to attack this eight-pole Da Ming, who is full of thorns.

In addition, in the court of the Qing Dynasty, there were ministers headed by He Shen, who constantly persuaded him. They are all a group of people who only recognize money, do not recognize people, and disregard the interests of the state. So when the intelligence officers dressed in the cloak of the White Lotus Sect asked them for help with a lot of money, one by one, their heads were dotted with flowers.

So the request of the old ministers of the Ruan Dynasty was mercilessly rejected by Emperor Qianlong.

These things, the intelligence officers of the Qing State, have long been passed back. Nanfeng, they are also clear. So from the very beginning, I never thought that the Qing Congress would get involved.

But at the moment, Azhansha's letter clearly stated. Under pressure from the Qing state, Siam changed its attitude and agreed to reconcile with the British.

This Siam was originally a vassal state of the Qing State, and in this era, the Qing State maintained the prestige of 'Heaven, Heaven, and Country'.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is clear, the Qing State is already in decay. But the majesty accumulated over the past hundred years still terrifies the surrounding countries. In a small country like Siam, the attitude towards the Qing State has to be considered.

So it's no surprise that there is this result.

Not only that, but Qing Guo also proposed. If necessary, troops will be sent to the Indochina Peninsula to jointly crusade against the Ming Dynasty.

This made Nanfeng and them a little puzzled!

What is the reason why Qing Guo, who originally did not want to be involved, suddenly and quietly changed his attitude.

Moreover, the intelligence officers on the Qing side did not send back any clues beforehand. Could it be that the intelligence forces of the Qing State have also suffered the same accident as Malacca?

But when I think about it, I think it's impossible.

Because Qing Guo does not have any sense of counter-espionage at all! The state secrets were as neat as a leaky sieve. As long as some money is spent, those eunuchs, palace maids, and ministers who know the inside story will be in a hurry and spit out everything they know.

Therefore, the forces of the Intelligence Division, which have always been deeply hidden, should not be detected by the Qing State.

But why hasn't there been a bit of news about it? (To be continued.) )
