"Yes, since Nguyen Phuc Dang, successive monarchs of the Nguyen Dynasty have been very repulsive to Catholicism and Western forces, just like this dynasty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Kaiyun said this, the Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at it, and didn't hear anything, "This dynasty was just closed to the country before, but now it can be said that the country is wide open, and there is no exchange, so naturally I will not be afraid of any foreigners." ”

Wang Kaiyun's face was as calm as ever, and he continued, "Everything else is fine, but this Holy Ancestor Emperor discovered the British plotting against Guangdong from the First Opium War, and concluded: 'The Qing people are cowardly, I know it. Soon he changed the name of the country to 'Da Nan', which is regarded as self-established emperor, but the tribute to the Qing Dynasty with me is still once every three years, and the title of Vietnam is still used, after all, this is the name of the country given by Emperor Renzong. ”

After Nguyen Phuc Anh unified the whole country, he wrote to China to ask for the title of "King of Nanyue", and Emperor Jiaxing felt that the word "Nanyue" was inappropriate, and he sent an edict to scholars and others: The name of "Nanyue" covers a wide range of topics. Before the examination, present-day Guangdong and Guangxi were also among them. Nguyen Phuc Anh has Annam, but it is only the hometown of Jiaozhi, why can it be called 'South Vietnam'? The country first had the old land of Yueshang, and then the whole of Annam. The Tian L Dynasty gave the name of the country, using the word 'Vietnam' and the word 'Vietnam' on it, which still retained its ancestral territory; the word 'south' was listed below to show its new feudal feud; and in the south of the hundred Vietnamese, in the "Book of the Times", 'Annam' was changed to 'Vietnam'." This is the origin of the current Vietnamese national name.

"Originally, it was okay to resist the French, but the national strength gradually declined, and it was impossible to resist the foreigners, and after the French signed the "Whampoa Treaty" with us, the door of Vietnam has been opened, and the French can no longer be prevented."

Many of these are things in the pile of old papers, and more of them are the news that Wang Kaiyun heard when he was an official in Guangxi, and he said eloquently, the Empress Dowager Cixi listened very seriously, and only sighed at the end, "In this way, the Vietnamese are closer to the French." ”

"It's just that this close relationship, I don't know what to think in my heart."

"It's not too late to talk about this later, I'm just asking a little bit," the Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Is it possible for me to stop France from encroaching on Vietnam by letting the prime minister's yamen act like this?" It's not that you have to fight with the French, if you can make some progress in diplomacy, at least it will be a great achievement to preserve the national unity of this vassal domain, at least worthy of the name given by Emperor Renzong. ”

"The important thing is that Vietnam must not be allowed to become independent," Gao Xinkui said, "the heart of the vassals, just bombarded Sulu Island, Kokand was restored, and the sailors inspected the Ryukyus, these three things have been recovered, and the hearts of the people have just been condensed, and they must not be scattered again because of the Vietnam incident, if Vietnam is lost, the heart of Liangguang will be exposed in front of the eyes of the French, if Liangguang Yungui becomes a place of French invasion in the future, I will never doubt it, you must know that many French merchant ships have secretly transported opium from Vietnam to Liangguang, No need to go through customs. There are also arms ships that transport munitions through the Red River to the land of Yungui, where there was a **** rebellion before, which fueled their arrogance. ”

"Prime Minister Yamen's voice only shows the attitude of the Qing Dynasty, indicating that it will never abandon its vassals and leave, and I am afraid it has no practical effect."

"Of course, war cannot be declared now, and it is probably useless to punish the French with any higher tariffs, after all, the French have nothing to do with us." The Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and vetoed these measures, "Then, there is only one thing that can allow us to get more deeply involved in the affairs of Vietnam." Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes lit up, "That's the Vietnamese themselves coming to beg us!" ”

"The current lord of Vietnam, the year name is Si De, and the Emperor Si Duc is an elegant appearance and a kind and kind person. He dressed simply, and his mother was filial. He is very diligent, and many of the articles that are reviewed in the recital are even longer than the original text, and I heard that he is very erudite. ”

"Tut-tut, it sounds very good, he is a gentleman of the Tao, how did he end up like this, and cut the land and pay compensation."

"In today's world, it is absolutely not enough to govern the country by virtue of benevolence." Wang Kaiyun said.

"How old are you?" The Queen Mother asked Li Lianying.

"I'm fifty-two years old."

"It's not young, but I don't know if my head is stupid, if I know it's powerful, I should know how to deal with the French when I see China's voice," Empress Dowager Cixi instructed Gao Xinkui, "Draft, saying, reprimand Vietnam for being disrespectful, not abiding by vassal etiquette, signing treaties with foreign countries without authorization, strictly prohibiting further contact with the French customs defense, if there is any further disobedience, when will the next tribute?" Next year? Well, they will not be allowed to trade tribute to China next year. ”

Gao Xinkui agreed, and the Queen Mother said, "What else is worth talking about in Vietnam?" Little Lizi, what's your news there? ”

"Back to Lafayette's words, there are still Chinese in Vietnam who have great power in it," Li Lianying replied with her head down, "This is worth our efforts in the future." ”

"Oh, who is it?" The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows, quite interested.

"He was given the seal of the brave general by the deputy governor of Shanxi, Xinghua and Xuanguang by the king of Yue, and was appointed as the commander of the Black Flag Army of the deputy governor of Sanxuan, Liu Yongfu."

Wang Kaiyun saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was originally very lazy and crooked on the throne, and when she heard this name, her eyes showed a puzzled look, and then she seemed to think of something, sat up straight suddenly, her eyes showed a fine light, and said slowly, "Ah, Liu Yongfu, Black Flag Army!" ”

"Lafayette, do you know this Liu Yongfu?" Li Lianying asked strangely.

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "I don't know, but I know it." "I almost forgot about this immortal! The corners of her mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile, "Then next, there are good shows here in Vietnam to watch." The Empress Dowager Cixi said indifferently, "Little Lizi, you go and tell Qinghai to tell him so." Li Lianying held the bowl and said that she was retreating, Cixi looked at Gao Xinkui and Wang Kaiyun, "No matter how big this matter is, it can't be bigger than the government and politics, and it's not as big as the domestic affairs, let's talk about it, how is the matter of the Eight Banners?" ”

"Zai Ling has already moved, probably convinced," Wang Kaiyun said, "Coercion and temptation, and know the benefits, he understands people, and he was unwilling before, go back and think about it, he can always think clearly." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Gao Xinkui, "Uncle, where are you?" ”

"Prince Li is reluctant to come forward." Gao Xinkui was a little ashamed, "Weichen is derelict in his duties." (To be continued.) )
