Chapter 570: The Extreme Realm of Han
Wang Feng's face was cold, and a fierce light bloomed in his eyes, but he said lightly: "You are threatening me again, Mr. Genui." ”
"No, no, no! I'm not threatening you, I'm stating the facts to you! Genui waved his hand again and again: "Because you have forcibly occupied Hong Kong and Macau, if the British government and the Portuguese government do not take action against you, they will send the wrong message of weakness to the outside world, as far as I know, the British colonies in India have shown a tendency to move, many local kings have learned about your information through various channels, you have the meaning of a weather vane to some extent, can you understand what I mean?" ”
Wang Feng said quietly: "Please continue." ”
Genui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Wang Feng would be arrogant, and it would be easy to be reasonable, and after organizing the language, he said: "India and Southeast Asia are related to the lifeblood of Britain, in order to maintain the stability of the colony, and in order to save face, the most direct and effective way is to defeat you, although this is more difficult, but once and for all, shock all the ill-intentioned!"
Although Britain suffered a temporary setback in Europe, Turkey was forced to cede the Dardarny Strait and the Bosphorus Strait to Russia, and the Russian naval ships seemed to be able to enter and exit the Mediterranean Sea freely, but what kind of country Russia is, I think you should be clear that it is a backward country with serfdom, and entering and leaving the Mediterranean does not mean that it has the ability to control the Mediterranean, so Britain may temporarily put aside the disputes in Europe and make peace with Russia to deal with you together.
Mr. Brandall, the British Governor of the Straits Settlements in Singapore, heard of the departure and was to present the situation in the Far East to the British Parliament. From what I know of the British, nine times out of ten they will unite with the countries of Europe to use troops against you, as long as there is enough interest in exchange. Even the Russians will be invited to take action, and I know you are not afraid of war, but why do you have to push France against you?
France may not help you on the surface, but at least it can remain neutral, and the French government has always been friendly to the Chinese. I hope you will take this friendship seriously. ”
Wang Feng was silent, indeed, one more enemy is better than one less. Even if this person has a bad heart, he will jump out from behind and stab you at any time.
Wang Feng is still clear about the truth of each defeat, and he is not arrogant enough to be the enemy of the whole world, just as he wants to continue to uphold the policy of pulling the cage of France and the United States.
Merely. For Vietnam. At the very least, the north-central part of Vietnam is bound to win, which is originally Chinese territory, and it will never cheapen the French for nothing.
Genui looked like an old god, as if he was sure that Wang Feng would compromise.
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Feng asked: "Vietnam is a vassal state of China, and using a vassal to raise troops to attack the suzerain, it is like a colonial country plotting a rebellion. Britain can't stand it, do you want me to swallow it? If no action is taken against Vietnam. Other Chinese vassals, such as the Ryukyus, Burma, Korea, etc., have followed suit, what do you think I should do? ”
Genui knew that Wang Feng was going to benefit, and he didn't plan to let Wang Feng suffer too much, so he smiled slightly: "Emperor Ruan Chao is willing to try his best to calm your anger, if you have any ideas, you can say it, I will call the shots on the spot!" ”
"Good!" Wang Feng nodded: "Mr. Genui, do you know the Han Extreme Realm?" ”
"I don't know!" Genui spread his hands out, showing a blank look.
"It's okay, please take a seat first!" Wang Feng personally pulled out a chair for Genui, and after Genui sat down, he explained: "The time goes back to 1,800 years ago, when the central and northern parts of Vietnam belonged to the Han Dynasty government, and the three counties of Cochin, Jiuzhen and Ninan were established to implement direct administration, and Cochin County governed Cochin County, which is now Hanoi, Vietnam.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, set up the Thirteen Thorn History Department in the country, he divided the seven counties, including Jiaozhi, into the Jiaozhi Thorn History Department, which was called Jiaozhou in later generations.
However, at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Vietnamese led by the two Zheng sisters took advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty and the weakening of the national strength to launch a rebellion, fortunately, the re-established Han Dynasty government sent the then Fubo General Ma to aid the Vietnam Ping Rebellion at the first time, which lasted only one year, and then put down the rebellion, and the two conscription troops were defeated and killed, and later General Ma set up a bronze pillar in the territory of Quang Nam Province today, marking the extreme boundary of the Han Dynasty, and since then, this is the southernmost point of the Han Dynasty!
It's just that China's national strength has risen and fallen, and the Vietnamese have sometimes obeyed, sometimes rebelled, and to this day, they have become independent from China, which is a matter of regret and shame for all the descendants of Yan and Huang, for thousands of years, countless people with lofty ideals have paid the price of their lives to restore the land of China.
Wang Feng gave a detailed account of several rebellions in Vietnam during the dynasties, including the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and even the separation of Vietnam from China during the Song and Ming dynasties.
Finally, Wang Feng added: "Central and northern Vietnam has been a territory belonging to China since ancient times, and today, I have the ability to restore the borders of the Han Dynasty, and my soldiers are ready to fight, but let me give up just by your words, how can you let me explain to the 40,000 Chinese people, and how to explain to the many heroic martyrs and sages in China who shed their blood on the land of Jiaozhou?"
Mr. Genui, since you have said that the heirs are willing to compensate, it is okay to return the land that was stolen from China, and redraw the border between China and Vietnam with the extreme boundary of Han, and other than that, I will not ask for any compensation, I will only take back the land that belongs to China, and this demand is not excessive! ”
Genui was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wang Feng to open his mouth and actually offer to let Vietnam cede half of the country's territory to him, especially where is Quang Nam Province? It is about 100 kilometers south of Shou Xuan, the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, doesn't this mean that even the country of the Nguyen Dynasty will be given to him?
To tell the truth, Genui was very dismissive of Wang Feng's proposition since ancient times, and said coldly at the moment: "In the eyes of us Europeans, the territory should be demarcated by the Line of Actual Control, not according to history, for example, the Roman Empire spanned Europe, Asia and Africa two thousand years ago, and even the current France is a province of the Roman Empire, and Italy is recognized as a descendant of the Roman Empire, and Sardinia is recognized as Italian orthodoxy, if according to you, Does this mean that Sardinia should be restored to the territory of the former Roman Empire? Or even to annex France to Sardinia? Do you think it's realistic? Don't you think your proposal is ridiculous? ”
"It's not funny at all!" Wang Feng said as a matter of course: "Maybe it's because of the different thinking angles of the East and the West, Oriental people pay more attention to tradition and regard the land left by their ancestors as their life, of course, the international situation is complicated, even according to your Western standards, history can't be used as a reference basis, you need to speak with strength, then, now I have the strength to restore China's traditional territory, why can't I ask for it?"
As for the possible intervention of the European coalition forces you mentioned, I can tell you that I have never been afraid of war, the stronger the enemy, the more excited I am, when I first started the army, there were only a few thousand remnants of the defeated soldiers around me, and the weapons and equipment were extremely backward, but I killed one enemy after another, and in just a few years, my army has swept the southeast coast of China!
My motto is that you can only prove yourself by defeating a strong opponent, and a weak country like Vietnam, if he hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him, and I am very much looking forward to fighting against the coalition forces of European countries! ”
"This" Genui looked at Wang Feng in a daze, he didn't know what to say, what else could he say when he met a war maniac?
"Hehe~~" Wang Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Genui, do you think that I will definitely be defeated?" Yes, in terms of strength on the sea alone, no matter how much I develop my navy, it will definitely not be as good as the European coalition forces with deep heritage, but if you come to attack me, you must go ashore, do you think the coalition forces still have an advantage when they go ashore? You have witnessed the whole process of our army's battle in Guangzhou, tell me, who is stronger than our Democratic Alliance army and the French army, which is known as the strongest army in Europe? ”
Wang Feng is indeed not arrogant, sending troops from Europe to attack China needs to make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, even with Britain's national strength, it is extremely difficult to put tens of thousands of armed forces at such a distance, not to mention Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other second- and third-rate countries, even if the European coalition forces have strong naval strength, but as Wang Feng said, you must always go ashore, and if you go ashore, you will have to face the superior strength of the Democratic Alliance Army!
Moreover, the United States has a close relationship with the Democratic Alliance Army, and in the case of equal strength, the United States may not be willing to send troops, and Genui has never had hope for the Qing government, which is why Genui came to negotiate with Wang Feng, but Wang Feng asked Vietnam to hand over half of the country and the capital, so how can he talk?
Genui said coldly: "I don't want to see the French and Chinese armies divide the victory, but your attitude is pushing France and China to the opposite side of the war, I think I understand what you mean, maybe I should go back to Paris and state to His Majesty the Emperor that China is infringing on the serious reality of our interests!" ”
As he spoke, Genui was about to walk out, and Wang Feng suddenly called: "Wait! ”
A smile of victory appeared on the corner of Genui's mouth, and he slowly turned around, in fact, he was also betting, betting on whether Wang Feng was willing to go to war with France, from the current point of view, he was right.
Wang Feng said slowly: "At our level, Vietnam is a lamb to the slaughter, and he is not qualified to decide his own fate, so let's exchange opinions openly and honestly."
Your country's interests in Vietnam are limited to the four provinces of Nam Gi centered on Gia Dinh, and my claim for the territory of north-central Vietnam does not seem to have an impact on your country, I don't know why you want to stand up for Vietnam, is this your own intention or the intention of your emperor, or is it that your country has already regarded the north-central part of Vietnam as its own bag? Well? (To be continued......)
