Lin Fei came out of the Taihe Hall and returned to his residence, in the Taihe Palace, Ruan Fuzhao almost gritted his teeth, he grabbed the history book written by Lin Fei on the ground, tore it to pieces, and slammed the shredded paper in his hand on the ground, his chest rose and fell violently because of anger, and his voice trembled, "Lin Fei, Lin Fei, Lin Fei!" Lie to me too much, too much! ”

The ministers on the side approached Ruan Phuc Zhao one after another, lowered their voices and said, "Your Majesty, Calm your anger, your anger, the power of the snitch is too strong, we can't fight him at all." ”

"Then what should we do, do we swallow our anger and let the snitch bully?"

"Be quiet, let the snitch hear, it's not a ...... to play"

"If you hear it, you hear it, I want the snitch to know that I, Ruan Fu Zhao, are bloody! Isn't the Snitch going to crown me, well, I'll be at the coronation ceremony, slap the Snitch in the face, and I'll see what the Snitch can do to me. ”

The ministers hurriedly advised: "The Holy Majesty must not do this, now things have not reached that point, although the main force of the French army has been destroyed, but the French army still has troops in Laos and Cambodia, and now the French army in Vietnam has been destroyed, and the French army in Laos and Cambodia will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Vietnam is in a long strip, with the South China Sea to the east and Laos and Cambodia to the west, these two countries, Laos in the north and Cambodia in the south, enveloping the entire western part of Vietnam, both of which were already French colonies at this time.

Ruan Fuzhao thought for a moment and said, "You mean that Lin Fei is very likely to be defeated by the French army?" ”

"Yes, Vietnam is far away from Lin Fei's homeland, he is on an expedition, it is very likely to fail, and Lin Fei may lose both with the French at that time, Your Majesty, you may be able to return to the country, so Your Majesty, you should be patient and patient."

Ruan Phuc Zhao sighed heavily, "That's it." ”

Lin Fei's words to Ruan Fuzhao quickly reached Ruan Fubaojiao's ears, and that night, Ruan Fubaojiao knocked on Lin Fei's door.

Lin Fei saw that it was Ruan Fu Baojiao who came, and said with a smile: "Aren't you unwilling to live with me, why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night." ”

It turned out that Lin Fei took Ruan Fubaojiao's body and planned to live with Ruan Fubaojiao, but Ruan Fubaojiao categorically refused, and reprimanded Lin Fei with eloquence: "People live with you, what are people, if you count them as your concubines, but you haven't even issued an edict, taking advantage of others but not giving people a name, so people don't do it." ”

Lin Fei was unceremoniously, grabbed Ruan Fu Baojiao's wrist, dragged him into his room, and said sharply: "You are just a slave girl I captured on the battlefield, and you still want a name." ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao was extremely aggrieved by Lin Fei's words, tears fell, and Lin Fei laughed, "Why don't you have any sense of humor, okay, okay, go back to your room." ”

But now, Ruan Fu Baojiao actually took the initiative to knock on Lin Fei's door!

Ruan Fubao said solemnly: "I'm here to talk to you about serious things." As he spoke, he walked into the room and sat down on a chair, Lin Fei sat in front of her, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Nguyen Phuc Bao said nookly: "I heard what you said to Nguyen Phuc Zhao, we in Vietnam still want to be independent, and we don't want to be a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. ”

"What did you say?" Lin Fei put his face down all of a sudden, which frightened Ruan Fubao Jiaofang's heart, hurriedly stood up, and said timidly: "Our Vietnam is an independent country, but you treat us as your subject country, isn't it too domineering?" ”

Lin Fei smiled evilly and hugged Ruan Fubao in his arms, groping and scratching her body, "Even you are mine, and what are you talking about Vietnamese independence, isn't it funny?" ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao was made soft by Lin Fei, and said coquettishly: "People are people, Vietnam is Vietnam, and they can't be mixed up......"

Lin Fei put away his evil smile, put Ruan Fubaojiao's body in front of him, and said, "If you want to be independent, then good, let me ask you, what policies will you implement after you become independent?" ”

"The policy you have formulated for us is very good, land reform, and the full opening up of industrial and commercial ......"

"Hmph, don't say it again, if you are independent, how many of these policies can be implemented?"

"As soon as my order comes out, the people below will definitely carry it out, what can't be implemented?"

"The beauty you think." Lin Fei accentuated his tone, "Those subordinates of yours are all big landlords, let them implement the land reform policy, that is, let them cut their own flesh, will they be happy?" ”

"Well...... Ruan Fu Baojiao couldn't answer, Lin Fei continued to ask: "If you don't have our talent and technology, can you mine minerals and build factories?" ”

Ruan Fubao shook his head silently, and Lin Fei said categorically: "So you in Vietnam can only make the people live well by following me, understand?" ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao thought about it, nodded slightly, and Lin Fei said: "I heard Li Zhihan say that you are a good princess who sympathizes with the people, otherwise I would not be so kind to you, if you dare to say anything about Vietnamese independence, I will hand you over to Ruan Phuc Zhao, you see how Ruan Fu Zhao will clean you up." ”

"Well, I won't talk about Vietnamese independence anymore, I don't have anything to do, I'm going back." Ruan Fu Baojiao walked outside like a fly after speaking, Lin Fei grabbed her waist and pressed her down on the bed......

After a long time, Lin Fei kissed Ruan Fubaojiao and said softly: "I'll make you a 'concubine', okay?" ”

Ruan Fubaojiao nodded happily, and Lin Fei said with a smile: "Being my concubine is very hard......"

The flush on Ruan Fubaojiao's face had just faded, and it immediately appeared, and she murmured: "Flying Emperor, you are so powerful, people really can't support it, but don't you have other concubines, we will take turns to serve you, it shouldn't be too hard......"

"What does the bad girl say, I'm not talking about these things."

Ruan Fubao was shy and silent, and Lin Fei said with a smile: "I'm talking about food, clothing, housing and transportation, my concubine, you can't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can't wear silk and satin, and you can't buy precious jewelry, can you stand it?" ”

"For ...... Why? Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was puzzled.

"Alas, if there is something good at the top, it will be worse at the bottom, if I am poor and extravagant, the officials of the whole country will follow suit, and then our China will be finished."

"Good...... Well, I'll just say yes. ”

Lin Fei arranged the name of Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao properly and did not rush to the coronation ceremony, because at this time he had not yet completely occupied Vietnam militarily, and Vietnam was a long and narrow country, with a center in the north, center and south, of which the center of the center was Hue and Da Nang, which Lin Fei now occupied; In the northern center, Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam during the Limfei era, is relatively close to Quang An and Ninh Hoi provinces; In the center of the south was Saigon, the seat of the current French governor of Vietnam.

Each of these three centers has a number of small cities around it, and these small cities have driven the vast countryside and united the whole of Vietnam.

Lin Fei's next focus is to capture Hanoi and Saigon, the French built several trunk railways in Vietnam, running through Saigon, Da Nang, Hue and Hanoi, it stands to reason that Lin Fei can use these railways to easily attack Saigon and Hanoi, but the problem is that the French have destroyed all the railways, Lin Fei wants to attack Saigon and Hanoi, only the road can go.

There was a world of difference between road maneuvering and railway maneuvering, so Lin Fei decided to abandon the plan of sending troops from Da Nang and attacking Saigon and Hanoi, and changed the plan to that the troops of the First Army would be responsible for attacking Hanoi, and send troops directly from Hainan Island, first entering Quang An and Ninh Hoi provinces, and then taking Hanoi directly.

The attack on Saigon was carried out by Borneo's Fifth Army, and Lin Fei's arrangement was also to help Borneo's development and construction, and Borneo's Fifth Army attacked Saigon, and the logistical supply had to be completely provided by Borneo, which brought a large number of jobs to Borneo.

On May 14, 1898, Lin Fei asked Nguyen Phuc Zhao to issue an edict declaring the French to be the invaders, calling on all Vietnamese to fight against them, and sincerely imploring the Chinese Empire to send troops to support the Vietnamese Empire's war to expel the invaders.

Lin Fei then made a public statement in his unconditional support for Vietnam's war to expel the invaders, and then ordered various units to attack Hanoi and Saigon.

What Lin Fei didn't expect was that just one day after Nguyen Phuc Zhao's edict was issued, a message came from Dayu City that the envoy sent by the Russian Tsar Nicholas II had arrived in Dayu City and was now going to Hue, hoping to mediate the matter for China and France.

When Lin Fei heard that it was the Russian envoy who came, he was instantly stunned, Russia's power was mainly in Europe and the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, and the Nanyang region was their power vacuum, why did they come?

Lin Fei didn't know at this time that in fact, Russia and France also have an alliance!

In the South China World War, Russia supported the Chinese Empire, which seemed to be incompatible with France, but the great power competition was extremely complicated, Russia had no interests in the South Seas, and did not want Britain and France to monopolize the South Seas, so it supported the Chinese Empire to balance Britain and France, and in Europe, Russia and Germany and Britain had conflicts of interest, so Russia needed to win over France to balance Britain and Germany, so the Russian Tsar Nicholas II sent an envoy to regulate the relationship between the two allies.

However, the arrival of this envoy is of great significance to Lin Fei, Russia is a polar bear that can never be fed, it is bound to want to occupy more Qing territory, the Northeast, Mongolia, the western region of the Qing Kingdom, as long as it is a place, Russia wants, Lin Fei will definitely occupy the Qing Kingdom in the future, and then he will definitely have the strongest conflict of interests with Russia, in the Outer Northeast, in Mongolia, there will definitely be a bloody battle, and now seeing this envoy is the first confrontation between Lin Fei and Russia!
