The news that the French had brutally exterminated the Vietnamese royal family had already begun to spread around the world when the main force of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Protectorate entered Hue City the next morning.

I have to say that this is a heavy blow to the image of the source of freedom and democracy that the French have always prided, although the great powers have destroyed countless countries, but there is really not much to do like this, in most cases, the little monarchs who rebel against themselves are exiled, even if they are killed, they have to borrow other people's hands, and they will not even kill the family together, but the French are exterminating this time, especially the blood and tears of the princess Xià who was interviewed by the People's Radio reporter on the spot, they even did not let go of women, children and babies, If it weren't for the arrival of the guards, the crown prince, who was not even two months old, would have been shot by them.

This is indeed excessive, especially for those with a strong sense of justice, which can be said to be heinous.

"I can't believe that such an atrocity came from the hands of a noble ** whom I have always respected very much, oh my God, are they a pack of beasts? In an era that has already entered civilization, there will be an organized massacre of women and children, the extermination of a royal family, and the perpetrator is actually a French Republic that once gave birth to Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, the beacon of human civilization, which makes people feel like the world is collapsing.

The Chinese in Vietnam are of the same language and the same species, and the Yue people themselves are a branch of the Han nationality, just like brothers, and from the bottom of my heart I also regard the Vietnamese king as a brother, although because of the treaty you signed with the previous dynasty, I gave you the obligation to protect this brother, because I think the French Republic is the origin of modern free civilization, and there is no difference between you protecting Vietnam and me protecting my brother, but you see what you have done?

I can't tolerate you killing him, and almost killing his only offspring.

Your Excellency the Minister. I am here to inform you, in my capacity as Emperor of China, to inform the French Republic that China will no longer recognize the suzerainty of France over Vietnam, and as for the status of Vietnam in the future, it will be up to the Vietnamese royal family and people themselves to decide, but from this moment on, in my eyes, Vietnam is a ** country. Inside the imperial palace in Beijing, Emperor Yang yelled angrily at Bi Sheng.

"Majesty!" Bi Sheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Feng waving his hand, he said impatiently: "Your Excellency, Minister." I'm not asking you to debate, I'm asking you to formally inform you of my decision, well, send-off! ”

After saying that, this goods put on the majesty of the emperor, left Bi Sheng and left.

Bi Sheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this result anyway, in fact, he was not very clear about the situation of Vietnamese, although Du Meilai's telegram claimed that the French army in Hue had definitely not attacked the royal city, in fact, it had now been defeated by the Vietnamese army and retreated to the north of the city, relying on the intervention of the Chinese Protector Army to avoid the annihilation of the whole army. But evil deeds like this have a huge impact. I'm afraid that even if he does it, Du Mei will not admit it now, Bi Sheng still knows this in his heart, whether it is the survivors of the Vietnamese royal palace or the British merchants who encountered that army. It was clearly pointed out that it was definitely the French army, and the bullet on Nguyen Phuc Zhao's body was also a Lebel rifle, which was almost useless in Asia except for the French army. Even the French expatriates in Vietnam like to use Chinese-made Bofors rifles.

He didn't know that the guns were shipped from South America.

Whatever the evidence points to the French army, and it is completely reasonable for the French army to attack from behind the Vietnamese defense line in the front, and the French army has suffered more than 1,000 casualties in the front. It was normal for those angry soldiers to go on a killing spree after entering the palace, and to be honest, even Bi Sheng was almost certain that his own people had done it at this time.

"Your Excellency, I have to say that this time your ** team has indeed gone too far, you probably are not very clear about the origin of Vietnam and our country, the current Yue people themselves migrated from China in ancient times, and for thousands of years most of the time they have been part of our country, and the rest of the time is also a vassal king canonized by our emperor, so His Majesty's feelings for Vietnam are the same as for Korea, although because of the 1885 treaty, he did not interfere in the relations between your country and Vietnam, but his feelings for Vietnam have not changed. It hurts his heart so much that you're doing that. Yuan Shikai next to him sighed with emotion and said.

"Your Excellency, Governor Du Mei has confirmed to the contemptible people that the death of the King of Vietnam has absolutely nothing to do with my ** team." Bi Sheng said hurriedly.

"Your Excellency, it's not interesting for you to say this, all the witnesses and physical evidence clearly prove that it was your ** team, could it be that the Vietnamese princess and the survivors in the entire palace are telling lies? The Britons who met your ** team are also telling lies? Some things have to be admitted, and this is the attitude of a big country. Yuan Shikai said with some disdain.

Bi Sheng was speechless.

Not only did he speak, but the French government was speechless in the condemnation of public opinion in the whole of Europe, and even in its own country, this place cannot be washed, although Du Mei swore that the curse was definitely not done by the French army, but it is useless to just say it, all the evidence proves that the French army did it, and the whole world is convinced that the French army did it, and even within the French government, in fact, the vast majority of people also believe that the French army did it, how to wash this place, and then wash it will become a joke, if it is placed in the previous communication is not reached, this kind of thing will be done, It's like in Madagascar, but now it's less than an hour long before you do it, and the whole world knows that there's no room for maneuver, and sometimes it's not very good.

Although theoretically Nguyen Phuc Chao's rebellion against France can indeed be killed, even the king has no reason to blame, but the disaster to women and children is definitely an atrocity, and justification has become unreasonable.

Du Mei, who was forced to be anxious, proposed to let the princess or now call the princess and the survivors to the law ** camp to identify, if the murderer is found, he will admit it, but this mention is obviously unreliable, the Vietnamese said, there are less than 1,000 people left in your regiment so far, more than two-thirds of them are dead, and they are even set on fire, if the murderer is among those dead, how can we identify it?

This is indeed very reasonable, after the war, the corpses of the French army in the city, naturally it is impossible to keep the plague, they are all hired to carry them outside the city and set them on fire, and those dead French soldiers also need to go home, and it is also impossible to bring back a piece of rotten stinky meat, which must be burned into ashes, and it is indeed impossible to identify it at this time it has been packed in a box.

Because the officer who led the team was a major, Colonel Philippe simply sent all the surviving majors to the palace for Her Majesty the Princess to identify, and also found out the photos of the dead majors and brought them with them, and then the reporters and consuls of various countries notarized them.

Then Colonel Philip proposed to close Hue to search the whole city, maybe they could find the traces of the thugs pretending to be the French army, but the Vietnamese army had no opinion on this, and the result was that the chickens and dogs tossed around for an afternoon, the so-called thugs pretending to be French soldiers were simply nothing, they didn't know that Frank's gang was released by the Chinese soldiers accused of the city gate before dawn, and then got on a merchant ship on the Xiang River, at this time they had already transferred to a Chinese board 6 ship at sea, of course, this part of the people was also impossible to put back in the Americas, a shipwreck can be solved, it is nothing more than the loss of one board 6 ships.

The French dared to act and did not dare to act once again by the unanimous contempt of all countries, especially in the media of Germany and Italy, which linked the clumsy appearance of the French army on the battlefield, which has been scandalized as a scum who cannot beat men and can only slaughter women and children, and even the criticism of the government in France is very high, and the French, who have always prided themselves on their image, can be said to have been directly slapped in the face this time.

While the Hue massacre was being investigated, a brigade of French troops from Saigon finally arrived, but the Chinese Protectors at the city gates refused their request to enter the city, and this was unanimously agreed by the consuls of the various countries in Hue, and the French troops had to be stationed outside the city.

At the same time, the French Far East Fleet set sail from Cam Ranh Bay also arrived, including the first-class battleships Carnot and Messina, both of which had a displacement of 11,000 tons, eighteen knots, equipped with 305 and 270 mm main guns respectively, three Alger-class and one Frionte-class protective cruisers, and six diesel-powered destroyers, which seemed to be not weak, but compared with the Chinese fleet that was also cruising off the coast of Da Nang, it was not enough, so Du Mei gave them the order not to fire first in any case, The two sides looked at each other vigilantly like that at sea.

At the time of the arrival of the French Far East Fleet, Chinese Foreign Minister Zhang Quan officially stated in Beijing that in view of the atrocities committed by the French army in Vietnam, the Chinese Government would no longer recognize the clause on the transfer of Vietnamese suzerainty to France in the Sino-French New Treaty of 1885, no longer recognize France's right to protect Vietnam, and recognize the previous declaration of war by the Vietnamese king against France as valid, that is, France and Vietnam were equal belligerents.

"So will China intervene in the Franco-Vietnamese War?" After the briefing ended, a reporter asked Zhang Quan.

"I can't tell you for sure, but China and Vietnam are brothers, and if the Vietnamese people need help, I think as brothers we have an obligation to provide them with any possible help." Zhang Quan said righteously. (To be continued......)
