"Dog's day, the Vietnamese emperor actually burned down the palace, how many treasures were destroyed!" Looking at the sky-high flames in the Imperial Palace of Hue City, Brigadier General Du Lide, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Xinhua Army, said with some unwillingness.

"Come on! Vietnamese people don't necessarily have to be rich. In the past few decades, they have either been fighting a war or counterinsurgency, and they have been using troops for many years, and the treasury has long been empty! Major General Zhao Shiwu, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, said. Compared with the new China, it is getting richer and richer, and at the same time, the speed of industrialization is also increasing through foreign plunder. But the Vietnamese were different, although they annexed Ai Lao and Chenla, expanded their territory, and built up one of the most powerful armies in Indochina. However, their country did not become rich and strong because of this. Industrialization is almost a blank slate, and the manufacture of weapons and the like is nothing more than a handicraft workshop. Compared with Xinhuaguo, they are too far behind. This is also the reason why the Xinhua Army can easily destroy them!

"Prepare to organize people to put out the fire! Anyway, from now on, this will be our territory! In addition, send troops to watch over Vietnam's treasury, even if we don't have much wealth, but we can't go home empty-handed! Major General Sun Hao said. Emperor Nguyen Phuc Hễn set himself on fire, and the entire city of Hue fell into the hands of the Xinhua army, which meant that the first phase of the battle could come to an end. The main force of the Vietnamese army, 50,000 Beijing soldiers, has been annihilated by the Xinhua army, and the remaining tens of thousands of local troops are weak in combat effectiveness. I can't afford to make any waves at all. After the next four infantry brigades landed in the north and south of Vietnam respectively, they could gradually advance and occupy the entire territory of Vietnam!

The Xinhua Army began to drive the Vietnamese to extinguish the fire. At the same time, it maintains law and order and stability in Hue City. There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Vietnam, and the intelligence services of Xinhua have begun to contact these Chinese. The Chinese people are very willing to join Xinhuaguo. After all, their situation in Vietnam is not too good, and they are far less happy than the Chinese in Xinhua. Joining Xinhua can greatly improve their lives. At the same time, you don't have to be bullied by the Vietnamese anymore, so why not?

The vast majority of Chinese living in Vietnam live in northern Vietnam. Wait until the Xinhua army occupies the entire territory of Vietnam. These Chinese would also be dispersed throughout Vietnam to strengthen the Xinhua State's control over Vietnam. Hue City, as the capital of Vietnam, is surrounded by fertile soil and is 100 kilometers south of Da Nang. It is also an excellent military port. Suitable for large-scale stationing of the fleet. Protect Hue City from being destroyed by fire, and when the time comes, the Chinese will be able to live here directly!

After the fire broke out in the Vietnamese Imperial Palace, the local troops who reinforced Hue City seemed to know that Hue City had fallen and retreated! The 1st Brigade and the 10th Brigade of the Xinhua Army slackened at this time. Previously, they had to guard against the entry of troops outside Hue into Hue and the Vietnamese army inside Hue to break through. Let their spirits be highly stressed, and a few days of fighting down. The officers and men were very tired!

At two o'clock in the morning on 21 June, Rear Admiral Sun Hao presided over a meeting attended by the commanders of the four infantry brigades and heavy artillery brigades of the Xinhua Army, as well as the commanders of the Navy's Second and Fourth Fleets.

"Everyone! After more than three days of fierce fighting, the first phase of our Vietnam War is now over! In this battle, we conquered Hue City and destroyed more than 50,000 enemies, including Vietnam's most elite Beijing soldiers. Although our own casualties were as high as more than 1,500, it was still a great victory! Next, the second phase of the campaign is about to begin, and the next 4 infantry brigades, in the next month, will land in the north and south of Vietnam one after another! Our mission is to clear the resistance in Vietnam and occupy the whole of Vietnam! Major General Sun Hao said. Now, although he seems a little tired, his whole spirit is very good!

"General Sun, last night, there were Vietnamese who forcibly broke through, those Vietnamese are very good, there are more than ten shares in total, at least a thousand people! They took advantage of the cover of night, and in the night battle, it was difficult for us to give full play to the superiority of our weapons, although most of the Vietnamese were wiped out by us, but a very small number of them escaped! Brigadier General Zhang Wei, commander of the 1st Brigade, said.

"Hmmm! We've found out by interrogating some of the captives! Those people are all the guards of the Vietnamese Imperial Palace, and they are originally the elite of the elite, and it is understandable that they can't stop them. The people they escorted were all the sons of Emperor Nguyen Phuc Hae! Nguyen Phuc Tan saw that Hue was about to fall, and he was ready to stay! Major General Sun Hao said. Originally, he hoped to be able to eradicate the Vietnamese royal family in this war. However, it now seems that it did not work out. Emperor Nguyen Phuc Hyun did not sit still, but wanted to do the last struggle.

"The escape of these sons of Emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh will have an adverse impact on our next stage of the battle?" Brigadier General Zhang Wei frowned. If I knew that those who escaped were so important, I should have done my best to intercept them all at that time. With the strength of the Xinhua Army, it is not impossible to leave these palace guards, but the casualties will be relatively large! At that time, Brigadier General Zhang Wei mainly took this into account, so he let those palace guards leave.

"No need! In the face of the strength that crushes everything, any intrigue is useless! Major General Sun Hao shook his head, and now the main force of the Vietnamese army has been wiped out by the Xinhua army. Even if you escape a few princes, it will be useless. Soon the second batch of troops of the Xinhua Army will land in Vietnam. At that time, the 8 infantry brigades of the Xinhua Army will advance steadily from several directions, which will be enough to crush all the resistance forces!

On June 21, the fighting in Hue ceased completely, and all the resisting Vietnamese troops were wiped out, and the rest became prisoners of the Xinhua army, totaling more than 20,000 people. In addition, at least 50,000 Vietnamese civilians were killed and wounded during the three days of fighting.

On June 22, a battalion of the Xinhua Marine Corps was stationed in Hue City, where it was responsible for the defense of Hue City together with the Heavy Artillery Brigade. The other four infantry brigades began to attack in all directions, gradually occupying the territory of Vietnam.

Local troops in the provinces of Vietnam put up fierce resistance to the Xinhua army. It's just that even their most elite Beijing soldiers are no match for the Xinhua Army, let alone these poorly equipped local troops. The Xinhua army advanced all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and it was easy to conquer one town after another!

During this period, several sons of Emperor Nguyen Phuc Thanh also raised their banners in various parts of Vietnam, preparing to gather Vietnamese troops to resist the invasion of the Xinhua army. It's just that what they do is just to make them die earlier! As soon as these princes appeared, the Xinhua army launched a fierce attack on the area where they were located, relying on the army they hastily gathered, they could not resist the attack of the elite Xinhua army at all!

Nguyen Phuc Thanh, the Duke of Truong Phuc Huh, who had high hopes from Nguyen Phuc Huan, fled to Hanoi, gained the support of officials and the army there, and in just a few days, raised an army of more than 50,000 men. However, on June 30, the 4th and 8th Brigades of the Xinhua Army landed at the mouth of the Red River under the escort of the Third Fleet. Then, follow the Red River all the way upstream. In just half a month, the troops came to the city of Hanoi. In the end, the Duke of Changqing Ruan Phuc Xuan was defeated and disappeared, and most of the army he organized was wiped out by the Xinhua army, and the rest of the people were scattered and fled to the forest.

Although, the Vietnamese resistance to Xinhua has never stopped. However, under the strong suppression of the Xinhua Army, the Vietnamese also paid a huge price and gradually stopped the struggle, as if they had accepted their fate. In order to consolidate its control over Vietnam, the Xinhua Army recruited 4 infantry brigades from the local Chinese children for training! Although these recruits are not strong in combat, they have no problem dealing with those Vietnamese who have also not undergone formal training. No matter how bad it is, you can also maintain local security!

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Vietnam have become the foundation of Xinhua Guo's rule over this territory! After the destruction of Vietnam by the Xinhua Kingdom, the first policy was that all Chinese, each of whom could get 50 acres of fertile land! The identity and property of Vietnamese people will not be recognized by Xinhua and will not be protected. Of course, Vietnamese people who intermarry with Chinese can be treated a little preferentially, which makes many Vietnamese women eager to marry Chinese, even at the cost of being concubines!

In response to those Vietnamese who continued to resist, the Xinhua Army also adopted the most brutal means of suppression. All Vietnamese who collude with the rebels will be sentenced to death! There is no need for even definite evidence, and if there is any sign of this, it will be destroyed. This has forced many Vietnamese to distance themselves from the rebels in order to survive. After losing the support of the people, even if the Vietnamese wanted to fight guerrilla warfare, they would not be able to fight!

In addition to the Vietnamese, the people in Ailao and Chenla, which had been conquered by Vietnam, thought that Vietnam was destroyed by the Xinhua army, and they asked Vietnam for an opportunity to re-establish their own country. As a result, after the arrival of the Xinhua army, a brutal crackdown was launched against these people. Eventually, after the blood of the killings was shed, their uprisings were extinguished.

Thailand, Vietnam's neighbor to the west, originally wanted to take advantage of the fire. However, after seeing the strength of the Xinhua Army, he immediately sent an envoy to Manila to congratulate Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, and express his closeness!

After that, Xinhua established Annam Province in Vietnam, which determined the control of Xinhua Province over this land! (To be continued......)
