Chapter 243: Annan's Anti-French Actions

Huaxia's incorporation of Korea into the territory did not attract the attention of all countries in the world, which was expected by all countries for a long time, but they did not expect that Huaxia would directly change to the Chinese Federal Empire, nor did they expect that Huaxia would openly collude with the Republic of South China.

"Damn, did Huaxia show its fangs so quickly, the bullshit Federation Empire, where will there be a Federation with it?"

Prime Minister Asquith believes that Huaxia's move is undoubtedly announcing to the world that it is time to expand its territory again, which is a threatening signal, there are no countries around China that can continue to be federate, and the only remaining are their colonies with France in the Southeast Asian Peninsula and India, and I don't know what tricks Huaxia will play.

The application of the Republic of South China to join the Chinese Federation was strongly opposed by the Netherlands, and the Dutch government issued a rare and strong warning to Huaxia that Huaxia would not be allowed to intervene in the war between the Netherlands and South China.

The colony in Luzon also implicitly told Huaxia that they would not accept Nanhua's application, and the government of Mi even led the domestic newspapers to claim that this was a long-planned conspiracy by Huaxia in order to expand its territory.

The rice newspaper analyzed it very well, it looked very reasonable, and it quickly spread from the United States to Europe, but the two major camps that were at war did not pay attention to this, and they both paid attention to the comparison, just warned Huaxia not to mess around.

Immediately after Korea was incorporated into the territory of China, the Imperial Daily presented a new map, and the boundary between the main body of China and the Goryeo Kingdom was also changed, and the Yalu River was no longer a demarcation, and the border was moved 200 kilometers to the Goryeo Kingdom, almost reaching the area of Guicheng.

To the north, the area west and north of Cheongjin, which originally belonged to Goryeo, became part of the main body of the Huaxia Federation.

This map was not specifically specified by the Imperial Daily, and the Chinese people did not notice this, and even if they did, they would not feel wrong, but a wave of demonstrations in Goryeo almost turned into violence, but under the maintenance of the Chinese army and the Goryeo army, there was no riot among the people, and it was quickly suppressed by the Goryeo government.

In Seoul, Li Kun returned here with Qin Yu's canonization Wen JiΓ n, and ascended the throne with the support of the military and government and the people.

Then the Chinese central government sent personnel to Goryeo to assist in the establishment of a new government in Goryeo, and Chung Jae-kuan became the prime minister as he wished.

In order not to clash with the following federal member state government No. 1 title, the Chinese government officially announced that the prime minister of the federal empire was renamed president, and the subordinate member states were not allowed to appoint the title of president, nor were they allowed to appoint member states to call themselves empires in any form, they could only be called kingdoms or countries, and there was only one Chinese federal empire.

Prime Minister Chen Phu became the president of the empire, ruling over the member states of the federation, and the president was only under the emperor and above the member states.

Neither the Entente nor Germany were willing for China to directly intervene in the affairs of the South China Republic, and several countries had their own colonies in Southeast Asia, and of course they would not let China directly enter here, so they tacitly put pressure on China together, so that China had to suspend the affairs of the South China Republic.

…………

To the north of Annam, near the border of Gui Province of the Chinese Empire, a group of ordinary-dressed people quickly crossed the border between Annam and Huaxia and entered Annam, all armed with weapons and huge packages on their backs, followed by a number of carriages.

The Huaxia soldiers stationed at the border were quietly watching this group of ordinary people in a place at this time, and they deliberately gave way for these people to pass after receiving a secret order from above.

"Hey, there's a good show to watch now, I heard that the brother over there said that the army has just dispatched a large number of troops to support Central Asia, and these Annankees will seize the opportunity."

"The empire probably has reached some agreement with these people, otherwise it will not help them train an army and support so many materials, if only Annan could be incorporated into the empire like North Korea!"

"I can't bear it anymore, I've been fading out of the water here, those guys who can set foot on the territory of Fuso are really enviable, if the empire interferes, we will definitely be able to go to the front!

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The Huaxia soldiers were discussing in a whisper, and the nearby officers were also discussing with them, and these officers had already guessed something, but they were not sure either.

The military districts of Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province are secretly and actively preparing for war, and the training of the troops is also one-third more than usual, a large number of troops have been secretly transferred from Shu Province and Guangdong Province to the two places, and several ships of the Huaxia Fleet in Fuso are already on their way back, and their destination is the waters of the Beibu Gulf in the south, where more than 10 submarines are already patrolling.

The transfer of a large number of French troops from Indochina gave the local anti-colonial patriotic forces a glimpse of the light that was ready to move, especially Annam.

Phan Pei Zhu, the leader of the anti-colonial forces in Annam, has returned to Annam and is preparing to rescue Nguyen Phuc Chao in Vung Tau, while the revolutionaries in Hue are also actively preparing to rescue the current Emperor Nguyen Phuc Hoang of Annam.

At this time, Annam was divided into three parts, namely the provinces north of Ninh Binh Province in the north, which were called Beiqi, the provinces between the south of Beiqi and 20 degrees north latitude were called Zhongqi, and the provinces south of Zhongqi were called Namki.

The French adopted three different forms of rule in the three regions of Annam, and in Namqi, it took the form of direct rule, which was under the direct jurisdiction of the governor. In Zhongqi, the form of "protectorate of the territory" was adopted, the ruling institutions of the Nguyen Dynasty were retained, and the French set up a commander, who and his guards were stationed in Hue to ensure the protection of France and to take charge of Vietnam's foreign affairs, and the commander had the right to personally meet the Vietnamese emperor. In Beiqi, an indirect form of "semi-protected territory" was implemented, in which the puppet regime of the Nguyen Dynasty sent an envoy to govern it, and the French sent officials to the provinces of Beiqi to supervise Vietnamese officials, and the strategic areas in Beiqi were occupied by the French militarily.

The capital of Annam is Hue, and Hanoi is only the seat of the French governor, but after decades of development, Hanoi is no worse than Hue.

Jost van Van Van Vallenhofen was the acting governor-general, but he was officially appointed governor of Indochina after the French war with Germany, and he was now preparing to increase the poll tax to increase his private income.

The governor who had just come to power actively suppressed the civil resistance, and after a large number of troops were transferred, he supervised and controlled Nguyen Phuc Hoang more strictly, and did not allow Nguyen Phuc Hoang to leave the palace, but the number of troops assigned to guard outside the palace remained unchanged.

The Governor was in the garden drinking fine red wine from the merchants who had come from the country to do business here, when his butler ran in a panic and shouted: "Dear Lord Governor, there is bad news from the south, the palace has been attacked by armed men, and the little emperor has been rescued and his whereabouts are unknown!" ”

Bang, the glass smashed on the ground and shattered, and then a bottle of high-end red wine kissed the ground intimately.

"Immediately let the army there arrest the little emperor for me, see if I don't abolish him, dare to escape!"

The governor has only been in office for more than four months, and it has been less than half a month since he became a regular, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen before the three fires of his new official took office, and once he returned to the country, his position as governor would not be guaranteed, and he decided to set up a new puppet emperor after arresting Nguyen Phuc Hoang.

A rush of footsteps drew nearer, and a soldier ran up to the governor and said, "Oh no, Governor! That waste Nguyen Phuc Zhao in Vung Tau was rescued by a secret army! ”

"What, who, who the hell, who dares to do this?" The governor also realized that something was wrong at this time, these two people were very important figures in Annam, a current emperor and a former emperor, both were rescued at the same time, indicating that the other party was prepared.

"Check, dig three feet into the ground and find them out for me, block the news!"

The French army in Annam went into action and carried out a massive search of Hue and its Vung Tau area.

With the support of Huaxia's weapons, Pan Peizhu and the others saved Nguyen Phuc TrαΊ‘ and Nguyen Phuc Hoang while the French army was not paying attention.

In the Zhongqi area, the control of the French army here is relatively weak, which has caused the secret resistance forces here to survive, and the real base camp of Pan Peizhu and others is also here, and they have secretly developed more than 20,000 members.

On the evening of April 21, Phan Pei Zhu and others led the army to break through Hue and rushed into the Zhongqi Qin Embassy to capture alive the French commander in Zhongqi, and the whole Hue cheered.

That night, Nguyen Phuc Hoang announced that he would return the throne to Nguyen Phuc Zhao on the grounds that he was still a minor, and Nguyen Phuc Huong telegraphed to the whole country to call on the people to rise up and support the revolution, revive Annam, and drive the French out of Annam.

The next day, the revolutionary forces in the north launched a fierce attack on the French army, and all parts of the country also responded to the uprising, a large number of people participated, and there were cases of smashing French shops everywhere.

Seeing this, the governor was furious and immediately ordered the rebels to be killed, and a large number of troops rushed towards Hue.

At night, the French troops in Lang Son still rested as usual, patrolled and patrolled, and what was happening in the south had not yet been reported here, so they were not vigilant.

"Aha, I'm sleepy, I really don't know when I'll be able to end this boring situation and go back home, I heard that most of the territory of the empire has been occupied by the Germans, and those guys in the country are all a bunch of waste?" A soldier grumbled with a yawn.

A few soldiers yawned on the sentry tower against the wooden planks next to them, and this kind of boring day was repeated for I don't know how long, and over time they got used to it, and they also relaxed when they stood guard.

"I'd rather be here than go back to China, going back is simply looking for death, where there is so comfort!"

"Yes, there is a war going on in the country, and I don't want to go back, I'm sleepy. Look at the dots, I'll squint! ”

The soldiers standing guard on the guard tower did not notice that an army was slowly approaching, and by the time they found it, the Annam army was already in front of them.

"Bang ......"

"Boom !!"

When the guns rang out, the Annam Revolutionary Army also set up artillery and shelled the French troops in Langshan, and dozens of shells were fired into the French positions, causing a large fire in an instant.

"Enemy attack, hurry, get up for me!"

"The Huaxia Army? It must be the Chinese army! ”

"The Huaxia army is coming to attack!"

The French army was resting and woke up when they heard the sound of gunfire, and immediately thought that the Chinese army was attacking, so they took their guns and fired back without clothes.

The French army, which had responded in a hurry, was quickly broken through the defensive line, and the French army, which was mistaken for an attack by the Chinese army, quickly retreated. The Annam Revolutionary Army succeeded in capturing Lang Son and pursued the French army relentlessly.
