517 Mystic Retreat
Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao smiled disdainfully, "It's ridiculous, how did our great Vietnamese empire become your Chinese territory?" After Ruan Fu Baojiao finished speaking, she involuntarily stood at the door of the handsome tent again, for fear that Lin Fei would rush over again, press herself to the ground, and beat her on the buttocks.
Lin Fei saw Ruan Fu Baojiao's small action, and sneered: "You don't have to be afraid, I don't just use force, just rely on my words, I will make you speechless, do you know Nanyue?" ”
"I don't know about the South Vietnamese Kingdom, it was the first big empire in our history!"
"Then do you know who founded the South Vietnamese Kingdom?"
Ruan Fu Baojiao was speechless for a while, not that she didn't know this history, but this history, she couldn't tell it in front of Lin Fei, because the person who established the Nanyue Kingdom was the general of the Qin Dynasty army - Zhao Tuo, an authentic Chinese!
What's even more ironic is that this Zhao Tuo was only a deputy general in the Qin army that year, not a chief general, and a deputy general in Huaxia can be the emperor of Vietnam, which is a great shame for the Vietnamese.
Lin Fei saw that Ruan Fu Baojiao was speechless, and smiled proudly: "Let's not talk about things so far away, let's talk about something close, do you know why your 'Vietnam' is called 'Vietnam'?" ”
Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao had nothing to say, in fact, Vietnam originally wanted to be called "South Vietnam", this request was reported to the Qing Emperor Jiaqing, imploring the Jiaqing Emperor to approve, the Jiaqing Emperor is the successor of the Qianlong Emperor, and he is the one who killed the big corrupt official He Shen.
Emperor Jiaqing looked at the chapter and discussed with the ministers, the Vietnamese want to call their country "South Vietnam", how can this be done! Historically, the country of Nanyue included Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province of the Qing Dynasty, once the Vietnamese people called their own country Nanyue, what would they do if they wanted Guangdong and Guangxi in the future?
So Emperor Jiaqing waved his pen and said, "It is not allowed to be called 'South Vietnam', but 'Vietnam'." That's how the name of Vietnam came about.
Lin Fei said with a smile: "Look at you, you can't even make the name of your own country, a country that even has to ask others for the name of the country, what can you do to confront our Huaxia?" ”
Ruan Fubao's face turned blue with anger, he stomped his little feet, turned around and left, and when he walked out, his slender waist moved his hips, twisting from side to side, which was extremely attractive, and the corners of Lin Fei's mouth showed a meaningful evil smile, this arrogant princess still has to fight against me on the battlefield, see how I clean you up after I catch you.
Ruan Fubao walked out of the handsome tent with a blue face, her delicate buttocks were still very painful, especially when she walked and rubbed her pants, it hurt even more, so her steps were very slow, and the maid next to her asked in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ruan Fu Baojiao's eyes widened, "You shut up in this palace!" ”
The maid hurriedly stepped aside, Ruan Fubao was so angry that she was about to crush her teeth, and secretly said in her heart, damn Lin Fei, this palace must defeat you on the battlefield, and then capture you alive, this palace will castrate you and stay by the side of this palace as a little eunuch!
Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao wanted to return to the Vietnamese military camp, and as soon as she entered the camp tent, the French minister in Vietnam greeted her and asked anxiously: "How are the negotiations going?" ”
"Lin Fei refuses to release him, and this palace has declared war on the Chinese Empire in accordance with the wishes of his French friends."
"Good!" The French minister said with a smile, the French actually wanted to see Vietnam and Huaxia lose, "Noble princess, our French army advisers will come to Hue soon, and then you can launch an attack on the Chinese army." ”
Nguyen Phuc Bao waved his hand violently, "No need, I appreciate the kindness of my French friends, but my French friends don't know about our situation in Vietnam, you just need to give us weapons and ammunition." ”
The French minister's heart trembled, what if we give you weapons and ammunition, and you are armed against us? The French minister smiled apologetically, "During the World War in the South Seas, our army lost a lot of weapons and ammunition, so the supply of weapons and ammunition needs to be delayed. ”
Of course, Ruan Fu Baojiao understood what the French minister had in mind, and she frowned slightly, "Okay, I know, I hope you will do your best to provide us with a batch of weapons and ammunition." ”
The French minister replied a few times and immediately changed the subject, "Noble princess, I don't know how you plan to fight the Huaxia Empire?" ”
Ruan Fu Baojiao remembered Lin Fei's humiliation of her, and said through gritted teeth: "Now Lin Fei is leading the troops on the beach of Hue, I took a closer look when I went in to negotiate, their number is very small, only more than 1,000 people, and on our side, there are 6,000 people, we can fully carry forward the numerical advantage, directly raze them, and capture Lin Fei alive!" ”
The French minister's expression changed, and he said: "Noble princess, if you win this battle, it will be easy to say, but what if you fail, how do you plan to fight in the future?" ”
Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao said without thinking: "If we go head-to-head with them on the frontal battlefield, there is absolutely no chance of victory, I decided to introduce the Chinese army into Vietnam, and then use various methods to consume them, and in the end the Chinese Empire will definitely not be able to withstand the huge pressure of war and surrender at the negotiating table." ”
The French minister smiled and nodded, and complimented: "Since the noble princess is so talented in military affairs, then I won't say more." In fact, the French minister didn't care who won or lost, as long as the development of the Chinese Empire could be slowed down, then France's goal would be achieved.
Ruan Fu Baojiao waved her hand and called a few generals, and said loudly: "Go and convey the order, tomorrow at ten o'clock in the evening, sneak attack the Huaxia military camp, behead Lin Fei, reward a thousand gold, capture Lin Fei, give ten thousand gold!" ”
Several generals agreed in unison and prepared to leave the camp, when someone from outside came in to report that Lin Fei planned to release the five ministers in exchange for the fishermen of Huaxia Kingdom.
It was useless for the Vietnamese to keep the Chinese fishermen, so Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao readily agreed, and the two sides then exchanged ideas, and the next day, on December 16, 1898, the Vietnamese Empire officially submitted a declaration of war note, and the Vietnamese Empire and the Chinese Empire declared war.
Lin Fei then instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to release the news to the world that the Chinese Empire had officially declared war on the Vietnamese Empire.
Although the two sides declared war, the world's reaction was very calm, and everyone understood that the intensity of this war was certainly very low, far lower than the Nanyang World War, and the Vietnamese military was weak, purely a pawn of the French, and could not cause big trouble to China, and the Chinese Empire had just experienced the Nanyang World War, and was bound not to be in a fierce war.
At ten o'clock in the evening of December 26, the Vietnamese army, under the command of Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, rushed straight to the Huaxia military camp, and did not encounter the slightest resistance in the process of charging.
Ruan Phuc Baojiao then continued to give orders: "Storm the enemy camp and kill all the Chinese!" ”
The Vietnamese army screamed and killed the Huaxia military camp, and when they rushed into the barracks, they suddenly found that the Huaxia military camp was empty, leaving only empty tents, and it turned out that the Huaxia army did not know when it had withdrawn.
The second monk of the Vietnamese army was puzzled, and searched the barracks for a while, only to find a letter in Lin Fei's handsome tent, and the envelope was written in Chinese characters - Princess Baojiao opened it herself, and the opening of the envelope was glued together, obviously the content of the letter was very confidential and could not be seen by others.
The Vietnamese commander had no choice but to take this letter to Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao and report to her: "The Chinese army has all withdrawn!" ”
Ruan Fubao was taken aback, "Huaxia has declared war, how can the army retreat for no reason, what's going on?" ”
The commander handed Lin Fei's letter over, "Princess, this is what we found in Lin Fei's handsome tent. ”
Ruan Fubao frowned, and said suspiciously: "Found in the handsome tent? Did Lin Fei leave all the tents behind? ”
"Yes, Lin Fei left all the tents behind."
"Why did he leave the tent?" Ruan Fu Baojiao was full of doubts, and as she spoke, she tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and saw that the letter read: "Beautiful princess, I'll go first, if you miss the feeling of being spanked by me, you can come to Woody Island to find me, by the way, I left all the tents for you, and the reason why I did this is because I just remembered that I played with you for a long time and haven't paid yet." ”
Ruan Fu Baojiao saw "If you miss the feeling of being spanked by me", her lungs were already about to explode, and when she saw the back, "I have been playing with you for a long time, and I haven't paid yet", she was so angry that she almost fainted, she tore up the letter fiercely, and scolded in her heart, Lin Fei actually said to pay, what did he think of me!
Nguyen Phuc Bao said angrily: "Someone, inform the Da Nang Naval Division, immediately rush to Hue, gather troops, and attack Woody Island!" ”
The reason why Nguyen Phuc Baojiao wanted to attack Woody Island, in addition to Lin Fei saying in his letter that he was on Woody Island, there was another important reason, that is, Woody Island was very small, and there were definitely not many garrisons on the island.
Ruan Fu Baojiao needs a victory too much, and she doesn't think about it, since Lin Fei said in the letter that he was on Woody Island, how could he let Ruan Fu Baojiao capture Woody Island?
If Ruan Fu Baojiao hadn't torn up the letter, others might have seen the letter and pointed out Lin Fei's tricks, but the letter had been torn up, and no one could see Lin Fei's tricks anymore.
In the early morning of the next day, the Vietnamese naval division of Da Nang rushed to Hue, and this Vietnamese naval division was also built with the assistance of the French.
The largest battleship of this naval division is a gunboat with a displacement of 500 tons, which is the kind that escaped in front of Lin Fei, and there are only four such warships, and the captain, navigator, chief engineer, and gunner on the battleship are all French officers, and only the lowest miscellaneous servants and sailors are Vietnamese.
