402 Heart of the Virgin
The Tang army defeated the old Nguyen army at Chenla and captured Siem Reap, Battambang and other places, which shook the old Nguyen court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNguyen Phuc Anh raised troops on an overseas island to prepare for the restoration of the Hou Li Dynasty, but the Tang people gave him weapons and equipment, and even helped him train a part of the army in Borneo. Armed with muskets and trained by the Tang people, they are the descendants and elites of Ruan Phuc Anh now.
Nguyen Phuc Anh was particularly shocked to learn in Gia Dinh (Saigon) that the Tang army, which was making trouble in Siam, had plunged headlong into Cambodia. Over the years, the Tang people have not known how many things they have done in the pan-East Asian region, but they didn't expect to be so over-energetic.
Nguyen Phuc Anh didn't know how many Tang troops had arrived in Siam, but according to his thinking, even if the Tang people wanted to capture Siam, they would definitely fight in Siam first, and there would be no hindrance to other regions. But I didn't expect that the hearts of the Tang people have always been so big, and there are still large areas in Siam that they don't control, and this has already attacked Zhenla.
In the eyes of the Tang people, the fertile plains of the Indochina Peninsula are the most elite and easiest to control, which can establish a government with relatively strong control, and it is easy to deploy troops for military operations. Siam and Chenla are such large areas of fertile plains, the land of fish and rice, and they are also relatively populated and developed areas. Therefore, this area naturally became the core area of the Indochina Peninsula ruled by the Tang people, so naturally the Tang army would take advantage of the situation to attack Zhenla.
After all, the country of Zhenla is small and weak, there was a civil war not long ago, and it has been afraid of other powerful countries around it for a long time, so it is easy to control. Old Nguyen now has a special status in Chenla. It is also a big source of wealth for Ruan Phuc Anh now. The Vietnamese do not govern Cambodia directly, though. But it retains influence. And Zhenla pays tribute to him. In the second half of the twentieth century, when the Americans had just been devastated by the Americans and reunified, the Vietnamese suffered from brain damage and began to act against Laos and Cambodia. After the eradication of the Khmer Rouge and the long-term influence of Cambodia, as it is now.
As a matter of fact. The territory of Vietnam at the end of the 18th century was undetermined, unlike the long strips that later generations remembered. The name Vietnam was not actually an official name at the end of the 18th century, but was given to it by the Qing Dynasty after Nguyen Phuc Anh successfully established the Nguyen Dynasty. And at the beginning, Nguyen Phuc Anh asked for the name of the country was South Vietnam, which was too big to be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, so it was changed and became Vietnam. Before that, the official name of Vietnam was Annam, and before that, it was an integral part of China, that is, Cochin.
The actual extent of Annam is also limited to the northern part of Vietnam. To the south is another country, the Champa State. It was not until the 17th century that it was completely destroyed. The Mekong Delta area around Jiading was originally the land of Chenla, and it has nothing to do with the Vietnamese. In the end, it was because a large number of Vietnamese immigrants came here, crowding out the original Chenla, so it became the land of Vietnam.
Ruan Fuying knew very well the strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if it was any Tang army, he would not dare to easily confront it. But Zhenla is a piece of fat, so he is really reluctant to give up. Thinking about Ruan Fuying, there was no good way, he went to ask for a meeting with the diplomats of the Tang Dynasty office in Jiading, but the Tang people played Tai Chi, saying that they didn't know what was going on in Zhenla, and they had nothing to comment and did not comment.
The diplomats of the Tang people here did not leak their words, nor did they say whether they were fighting or making peace with the old Nguyen, while the Yamato Corps of the Tang Army over there added a regiment of troops to enter Cambodia, and after occupying the western region of Chenla, they continued to advance to the southeast. Due to the fear of the Tang army, the old Ruan army and the Zhenla army did not dare to engage the Tang army at all, so that the Tang army continued to advance without resistance all the way.
This kind of situation of advancing over a long distance with a small number of troops is logically said to be something that the Tang army tries to avoid, because it is very easy for others to copy the back road. However, it was clear that there were no soldiers to fight on the side of Chenla, and the local people were not interested in arming themselves against the soldiers of the Yamato Corps. The Tang people did not have a series of new policies that were widely promoted in Siam, let alone Cambodia. The Tang army's journey was only a march, which did not interfere with the normal life of the locals. When necessary, the Yamato Corps will also raise food from the locals to solve the logistical pressure. The locals are no strangers to this situation, and the old Nguyen army even sometimes robbed them directly, and they had nothing to do. The Japanese soldiers under discipline did not act too crazy, and since they were not allowed to leave without permission at all, they could not go out to find flower girls and other entertainment.
Finally, in May, a letter from Datang was finally delivered to the kings of Chenla, An Anh and Nguyen Phuc Anh. This letter shows that for a long time, Zhenla's development has been unbalanced, the people are not happy, wars are frequent, and social contradictions are acute. Now Datang hopes to use Datang's advanced culture, management experience and model to help Zhenla get rid of this backward and chaotic situation. Datang demanded that Zhenla carry out a comprehensive reform of its own country and political system in accordance with the guidance of Datang, strive to liberate and develop the social productive forces, stop the war, and give the people a happy life. To this end, Datang is willing to reach out to establish the Datang Republic Zhenla Overseas Territory in Zhenla, and send a whole team such as the governor to assist in the reform of Zhenla and guarantee the safety of Zhenla. The Zhenla royal family can be kept at its discretion, but it should not interfere in politics, and the Tang Dynasty will also give preferential treatment to the Zhenla royal family.
This is yet another plausible and bullshit document. The article is full of the New Century Virgin complex, with the appearance and position of being a good person, and repeatedly saying that he wants to solve the situation of war and poverty and backwardness in Cambodia, and the way is that you don't govern by yourself, and we Tang people send people to manage you. Even if you keep a king of Chenla, but the funny thing is that even the kingdom of Zhenla has to be renamed as a foreign territory of Chenla, so what's the point of you, a king without a country?
It's almost the same drama as the one in Siam, in short, it's a trick. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I just believe it myself. Of course, if you don't believe it, you can't do it, because if you don't believe and don't let me run your country, then I will beat you. (To be continued.) )
