542 The mysterious weapons of the French
Li Zhihan nodded silently, and Lin Fei asked Li Zhihan to take him down and treat him well.
Nguyen Phuc Zhao's enthronement ceremony was quickly prepared, and on April 29, Nguyen Phuc Zhao ascended the throne in Hue City, and in order to avoid provoking the Vietnamese to revolt, Lin Fei adopted a soft control method, stationing troops only around and inside Hue City.
Some people mentioned that at the enthronement ceremony, Lin Fei crowned Nguyen Phuc Zhao, and Nguyen Phuc Zhao issued an edict to surrender to China forever, but Lin Fei refused, after all, there are still French people to fight, provoking the resistance of the Vietnamese, which will do all kinds of harm but no benefit.
The news of Nguyen Phuc Zhao's re-enthronement reached Saigon, and the French governor of Saigon was furious, Lin Fei went too far, and by doing so, he was simply slapping me in the face!
Lin Fei then asked people to invite Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, who had fled to Saigon only a day earlier, and was already like a beggar halfway through the way, but fortunately came to a small city at this time, and the county officials of the small town were loyal to the Nguyen Dynasty and escorted Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao to Saigon.
Ruan Fu Baojiao was starving and frightened on the way to escape, and the thought that made her so ashamed came out of her mind again and again, and she was ashamed of herself - how good it would be if she was Lin Fei's woman, Lin Fei was so powerful, she would not have to suffer so many crimes.
Ruan Fu Baojiao came to see the French governor, and the French governor said expressionlessly: "Princess Ruan Fu Baojiao, I believe you already know, Lin Fei supported your imperial brother to re-ascend the throne." β
Ruan Fu Baojiao nodded slightly, "I've already heard about it, and I've already guessed it, I've been prepared." Ruan Fu Baojiao said while thinking hatefully, if you give me rifles and bullets for the army, we will not lose so badly, but you don't give us anything, how can we compete with the Huaxia army with only big swords and spears? Alas, if I were Lin Fei's woman, he would definitely equip my army with advanced weapons...... Damn, how did this idea come to me again?
The French governor smiled and said, "Now I have decided to send troops to attack Hue, but there is Da Nang to the south of Hue, so we want to attack Da Nang, Princess Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, I want you to be the nominal commander of the army." β
Ruan Fu Baojiao was stunned for a moment, "What does it mean to be the nominal commander of the army?" β
"Haha, your Vietnamese combat effectiveness is too weak, and the command level of the commander is also low, so in this operation, I will dispatch a large number of French elites."
Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was displeased when she heard the French governor belittle the Vietnamese so much, but she didn't dare to say it, and asked: "How many French troops are going to send?" β
"Five thousand, that's enough."
"Five thousand? As far as I know, Lin Fei invested at least 10,000 troops in the battle in the early morning of April 23, and Lin Fei will definitely continue to invest troops in these days. β
"Hahaha...... the French governor smirked wildly, "our French army has dispatched brand new weapons and equipment this time, and the Chinese army will definitely be finished." β
"Brand new weaponry, what's that?"
"Dear princess, let's keep some mystery, when we get to the battlefield, you will naturally know, okay, Princess Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, please go back and prepare, on April 30, we will go to Da Nang and annihilate the Chinese army!"
Ruan Fu Bao Jiao was suspicious, came out of the French governor, and began to prepare for the attack on Da Nang, in fact, she had nothing to prepare, after all, she was only the nominal commander, and there was only one thing she had to do, that is, to choose her own guards, there were many French troops in Saigon, and when those French soldiers looked at her, they all had an obscene light in their eyes, which made Ruan Fu Bao Jiao shudder, compared to them, Lin Fei's eyes were much gentler.
Ruan Fubao Jiao was really afraid that she would be killed by these French soldiers before she was caught by Lin Fei, so she selected a large number of guards who were strong and loyal to her.
In the period before departure, the diplomatic battle between Huaxia and France continued, and the two sides also quarreled in the national alliance, France accused Huaxia of intentionally invading Vietnam, while Sa Zhenbing pointed out-for-tat, you French invaded Vietnam decades ago, and we are not invading, we are at the invitation of the emperor, sending troops to quell the rebellion!
As a result, Britain and France joined forces to manipulate the vote and made the League of Nations make a resolution of the "1898002", which demanded that the Chinese Empire immediately withdraw all its troops from Vietnam, but Lin Fei of course ignored it, and this time Lin Fei didn't even read the telegram, and directly tore it up and threw it into the trash.
On 30 April, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao and the French army rushed to Da Nang by train, where the French had built a large number of railways after the occupation of Vietnam.
The train stopped at Hoi An, a small town called "Hoi An", twenty kilometers from Da Nang, which was to be the rear base of the French attack on Da Nang.
Ruan Phuc Bao Jiao got off the train and settled down in the post house, and a maid whispered: "Your Majesty, I just saw that the French are carrying a big thing, which seems to be that kind of mysterious weapon. β
Ruan Fubao Jiao hurriedly leaned close to the window to look, "Where is it?" β
"Her Majesty the Empress, it's gone, and now I can't see it."
"Perhaps, alas, I don't know if the mysterious weapons of the French will work, anyway, the French have always exaggerated."
The maid's face suddenly became solemn, and she looked around for a while, and found that there was no one around, so she lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to think about it, follow the French, whether there is a good result." β
Ruan Fubaojiao's face sank, "What do you mean by this?" β
The maid said sadly: "During the Nanyang World War, the French and the British joined forces and failed to win against Lin Fei, and now only the French are left, can they still win against Lin Fei, you proposed before that you used the tactics of all the soldiers to defeat Lin Fei, but now that Lin Fei has found Ruan Phuc Zhao as a puppet, I am afraid that the tactics of all soldiers will not work." β
The maid said that Ruan Fu Baojiao lowered her head and was silent, her mind was stupid, and the maid continued: "Your Majesty, I think Lin Fei is good to you, you were caught by him once, and he didn't hurt you......"
"What did you say?" The maid mentioned that Ruan Fu Baojiao was caught, and suddenly poked Ruan Fu Baojiao's sore spot, Ruan Fu Baojiao's face instantly turned blue, and she stood up "Teng".
The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice: "Don't be angry, the slave knows that she is wrong." β
"You know that you are wrong, what is wrong with you?"
The maid didn't know what happened after Ruan Fubaojiao was caught by Lin Fei, so she didn't know why Ruan Fubaojiao was angry, and she couldn't answer, Ruan Fubaojiao yelled outside: "Come on, hurry up!" β
The two maids walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" β
Ruan Fu Baojiao pointed to the maid in front of her with her hand, "Drag her out for me, and punish her fifty, no, eighty, no, one hundred punishment rods, and she will be punished with her clothes!" β
"Stripping off the clothes and being punished" is to strip off all the clothes, which is a great humiliation for human prisoners, especially female prisoners, Ruan Fu Baojiao was still puzzled, and continued to roar: "Call the male guards, let the male guards beat, and drag them to the gate of the French barracks to beat, and give those French soldiers a good look at the body of this little slut!" β
The maid was directly frightened and paralyzed to the ground, wow wow crying, the two maids hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and also sobbed, as soon as the three women cried, Ruan Fu Baojiao suddenly softened, she waved her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't beat her, you all go down." β
The two maids hurriedly picked up the maid who was limp on the ground, and ran away, leaving Ruan Phuc Baojiao alone in the house, deep in thought......
On May 2, the French army began to advance to Da Nang, and soon encountered the trenches of the Chinese army, and the French army then stopped to build trenches, and gradually, the distance between the two sides of the trenches was only 1,000 meters, which was enough for the Chinese army to shoot cold guns and send cold guns.
The combat spirit of the French army is not weak, and a cat will not come out of the trenches, and the cold guns and cold artillery of the Chinese army will not be able to hit them at all.
On 4 May, the commander of the French army, Lieutenant General Berbato, met with Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao and said: "Your Majesty, I hope that you will send an envoy to send a letter of persuasion to the Chinese army. β
"How can the Huaxia army surrender, Your Excellency General, please think twice."
"No, no, no, you Vietnamese write a letter of persuasion, the Chinese army will not surrender, if we French write a letter of persuasion, the Chinese army will definitely surrender, because we told SΓΉ Lin Fei in the letter of persuasion, if we do not surrender, we will use mysterious weapons to clean him up, and I have already written the letter of persuasion."
Lieutenant General Berbato said and handed a letter of persuasion to Nguyen Phuc Baojiao, Ruan Phuc Baojiao had to agree, but when looking for the messenger, it was difficult, during the South Seas World War, Lin Fei slashed the British envoy Rogers, which left Lin Fei with a notoriety of killing the messenger, Ruan Fubao Jiao thought about it and decided to send a personal maid to deliver the letter, Ruan Fu Baojiao knew that Lin Fei would not kill the girl, and as long as the girl was polite and not as arrogant as she was at the beginning, Lin Fei would not bully her.
Ruan Fu Baojiao sent a maid to send Lin Fei a letter of persuasion, Lin Fei didn't want to read it when he saw the three big words "Letter of Persuasion" on the envelope, and the staff officers around Lin Fei also laughed, and said one after another: "Your Majesty, you don't need to read this letter." β
However, Lin Fei was curious about what rhetoric the French and Vietnamese would use to persuade him to surrender, so he opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and frowned after reading it.
Standing next to Lin Fei were staff officer He Kaisheng and staff officer Li Tianqian, these two people have been following Lin Fei since he started his family, and they can be called the two big think tanks around Lin Fei, they saw Lin Fei frowning, and hurriedly asked: "What did the French write in the letter?" β
Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "The French say they have a mysterious weapon!" I don't know what this mysterious weapon is. β
