Chapter 454: Sweeping the Indochina Peninsula
"Snow shame! Snow shame! Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
"Not bad! We're going to be ashamed today. This time, our Black Flag Army was ordered to attack Vietnam as the vanguard of the Southern Expedition, and this time we must capture Vietnam in one fell swoop, capture the South Seas, and completely drive the British and French colonists out of Asia! The Chinese Empire will win! The Black Flag Army will win! Liu Yongfu raised his arms and shouted.
"Huaxia will win! The Black Flag Army will win! Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
"March to Vietnam!" Liu Yongfu ordered loudly.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army, Lieutenant General Liu Chengliang, stepped forward and ordered loudly with a stern face, "Order all departments to launch an attack on Vietnam on all fronts according to the original plan." ”
"Yes!" Several staff officers standing behind him responded respectfully, and as they turned around and walked into the city gate, one of them picked up a telephone, shook it and shouted loudly, "The commander-in-chief has an order, and one qiē will launch an attack on the whole line according to the original plan." ”
After Liu Chengliang gave the order, he stretched out his hand to support Liu Yongfu, frowned and said, "Abba, you are not in good health, didn't I tell you not to come?" Why don't you listen! "Liu Chengliang is Liu Yongfu's righteous son.
Liu Yongfu turned his head to look at the lush mountains and mountains outside the pass, sighed helplessly and said, "Yu started in the fields, went out to govern the army, and his life was based on loyalty and patriotism." No matter how clear things are, they are all pure in order to report it. Therefore, he is not afraid of death, and the officials do not want money, although they are fortunate to have a good record, they invite the country's grace, and both China and Vietnam are awarded the post of admiral, and they are in the polar region of the military ministers, which can also be described as honorable. The empire was established, but there was no inch of merit, but His Majesty remembered the old merit, and was named the Duke of Jin, and he was really ashamed of His Majesty and the country in his father's heart. More than 30 years ago, we returned from defeat in Vietnam, which fell into the hands of the French. This incident is the biggest regret in my father's life, and I have always wanted my father to one day. was able to personally raise the army to recover Vietnam and report the country's favor, but in the end, his father could not wait for this opportunity. Now that my father is old and decrepit, he can no longer serve the country, but he can see with his own eyes that my Chinese soldiers have recovered Vietnam, and he is blind to his father's death! Now that my father lives in Zhennanguan, I want to see you recover Vietnam and the whole of Nanyang with my own eyes. ”
"Abba rest assured, since ancient times, the son has inherited the father's will. Today, the son will lead the army to recover Vietnam for Abba, in order to fulfill Abba's long-cherished wish. Liu Chengliang helped Liu Yongfu and said sincerely.
"Good! The Father is here waiting for your triumphant return! Liu Yongfu said excitedly.
At this time, the rumbling sound of artillery had already sounded on the artillery positions, and more than 20 warplanes roared over Zhennan Pass. Liu Yongfu couldn't help but sigh, "My Chinese Empire is so strong, why worry about the barbarism!" ”
Not long after, in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed out of Zhennan Pass and rushed to the French positions outside the pass. After the outbreak of World War I, most of Vietnam's French colonial troops were repatriated. At this time, the number of troops remaining in Southeast Asia was pitiful. And how could these colonial armies be the elite opponents of the Chinese Empire.
The Black Flag Army broke through the French border defenses with little effort, and in just three days, tens of thousands of troops surrounded Hanoi. The governor of French Indochina, stationed in Hanoi, was forced to surrender to the Chinese Empire with his army. On April 10, the Huaxia Army successfully recaptured Hanoi.
On April 11, Liu Chengliang commanded the Seventh Army, and the troops were divided into two routes. All the way south to Hue, the capital of Vietnam, all the way to Laos.
On April 15, the newly enthroned King Nguyen Phuc Chang of Vietnam. Declared formal independence from French colonial rule and declared itself a vassal to the Chinese Empire. On the 17th, the Black Flag Army entered Hue.
On April 18, the Huaxia army completely annihilated the French army in Laos. Feng declared his independence from French colonial rule and declared himself a vassal to the Chinese Empire.
The Seventh Army then continued its advance southward, and on 20 April, a division of the Black Flag Army entered Cambodia, and on 25 April, the French army surrendered to the Chinese Empire. On the 26th, King Sisova of Cambodia announced Cambodia's independence from French colonial rule and declared himself a vassal to the Chinese Empire.
In just 20 days, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Chinese Empire successfully recovered the three kingdoms of Central and South China, completely eliminating the colonial power of the French colonists in Southeast Asia.
On May 1, 1916, Ren Chao, Emperor Shengwu of the Chinese Empire, officially decreed the canonization of Nguyen Phuc Chang as the king of Vietnam. Feng is the king of Laos and Sisova is the king of Cambodia.
At the same time, Ren Chao issued an edict demanding that Siam (present-day Thailand) expel the British and French powers and restore the status of China as its suzerain. At the same time, he ordered the Seventh Army to advance into Siam in two directions, and Siam took the initiative to take over the relationship with the Qing Dynasty in 1855 when he saw that the Qing Dynasty was in internal and external troubles and was in a state of anxiety. In 1896, Britain and France signed a treaty stipulating Siam as a buffer state between British Burma and French Indochina, making Siam the only country in Southeast Asia that was not colonized.
In the face of strong military pressure from the Chinese Empire, King Rama VI of Siam announced on 5 May that he would expel the British and French forces from Siam and make a statement to the Chinese Empire. Subsequently, the Chinese army occupied major cities in Siam and assisted the Siamese government in expelling British and French forces from the country. Subsequently, Ren Chao officially canonized Rama VI Waqilawu as the king of Siam. At this point, the Chinese Empire recovered another vassal state.
At the same time that the Seventh Army was attacking the four countries in Central and South China, in early April 1916, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army of the Chinese Empire, under the command of Meng Yan, launched an attack on Burma across the Sino-Burmese border.
Unlike countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar at this time was a British colony. Because Burma borders British India, and the national strength of Myanmar before the British occupation is still okay, in order to solve this threat, Britain launched three wars of aggression against Burma between 1824 and 1885 and occupied Burma, in 1885, Britain sent troops to destroy Burma, and merged into India under the British Empire, becoming a province of British India. The Qing Dynasty government of China ordered Zeng Jize, the minister to the British, to protest to the United Kingdom. Britain won the Third Anglo-Burmese War again, and the Qing government was forced to sign the Sino-British Treaty of Burma with Britain, stipulating that the Qing government recognized the British as having control over Burma, but Burma still paid tribute to the Qing government every ten years. As for the undemarcated border between China and Myanmar, it should be demarcated by the two countries through consultation. At this time, the British incorporated Burma as a province of India, and set up the government in Yangon, and placed the Shan State, Kachin State in the north, and Chin State in the northwest as the protected border areas of the British Empire. The Shan states were still ruled by the Shan Tusi and were not part of Burma proper, and Burma became a British colony. (To be continued......)
