XXXII. Ceremonial Interests (3)

Outside the Sifang Pavilion has already dispersed all the idle people, just kidding, how could it be possible for the mud-legged people to see His Majesty the Great Southern Emperor kneeling outside the Sifang Pavilion without dignity like this? Not to mention the ministers who are five or six. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"Please show mercy to the angels of the Kingdom and save the people of Vietnam from fire and water!"

Outside the Sifang Pavilion was quiet except for the shouts of everyone, and after a while, the door of the Sifang Pavilion babbled open, and Ege, who was wearing a golden chicken supplement, strode out, and saw everyone kneeling in front of the door, he couldn't help frowning, he said to Ruan Wenxiang, "Lord Shoufu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Nguyen Van Xiang kowtowed, "Thang Long Province has fallen, and my Vietnam is powerless to resist the invasion of legal persons, please save me from Vietnam!" ”

Ege shook his head and turned sideways to avoid Nguyen Van Binh's salute, "Is it true that I am an immortal who retreats from ten thousand soldiers in one word?" Do you want me to take the guard of honor to Thang Long Mansion to confront the French army? ”

"Absolutely not!" Ruan Wenxiang hurriedly explained, Emperor Si De was crying and had sat on the ground, Ruan Wenxiang supported Emperor Si De, and said earnestly to Ege: "Please send a message to the angel of the country in the country, please send troops to the Tianyi Dynasty as soon as possible to rescue Vietnam!" ”

Ege's eyes condensed slightly, he didn't expect these Vietnamese to put up such a big battle today, just to kill China like this? Before leaving Beijing, Xisheng repeatedly emphasized that he must not provoke without permission! What the Vietnamese think in their hearts, Ege knows very well, he is a moral gentleman, but he is not a fool.

It's nothing more than a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

Ege shook his head, "I am the squire of the Imperial Court, not the squire of the Ministry of War, nor the Minister of Military Aircraft, I said that it does not matter if I issue the dispatch of troops, and besides, I am here to hold the legal person accountable, and it is not my duty to do diplomatic matters. Og wanted to turn away. But Emperor Si De grabbed the hem of the court robe, "Please help the envoy," Emperor Si De said weakly, the weather in Hue in May. The sun was already very vicious, and Emperor Duc's lips turned white, "The state of Vietnam is useless, first lost Nam Ki, and now let the legal person occupy Pak Ki. Next, if the French attack from the north and south, Hue City will inevitably fall into the hands of the French. ”

Emperor Si De can give full play to his acting skills today, and he even said the love between father and son, Ege is really very useful, although he has not changed from the decision he said before, but his attitude has eased, and he and Ruan Wenxiang pulled Emperor Si De together, "Your Highness." You are also full of poetry and books, and you must know the words of the ancients, those who save themselves, people will always save them. Vietnam is also the first class power in the vassals, so why do you have weak legs when you see a legal person? Ege directly accused the Vietnamese of being weak in resisting the French, and wanted to fall pie in the sky, "Now that Vietnam itself has not taken action against the legal person, how can we expect the help of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"It's not that Vietnam didn't declare war on France, but it was defeated repeatedly in the past few years, and there were no troops available at home. Even the garrison of the royal city was only a few hundred soldiers, and even the coup d'Γ©tat in the past relied on the Black Flag Army...... Ah, the Black Flag Army! Emperor Side suddenly thought of this life-saving straw, "The envoy is talking about the Black Flag Army?!" ”

Oge shook his head. "Your country's domestic affairs, this official will not interfere, who you want to use, the king has nothing to do with this official, but you can rest assured that I came to Vietnam to clean up the source and clarify the relationship between China and Vietnam as vassals and suzerains. As long as the French do not withdraw from Vietnam for a single day, this official will never return to China! ”

。。。

Liu Yongfu put down the edict in his hand with a gloomy face, this is the personal decree of Emperor Duc issued by the Hue government, and the credit for suppressing the rebellion in Hue before was sent to Liu Yongfu this time, from the deputy governor of Sanxuan to the right, he has become a serious admiral, and there is another title, a first-class man, which is considered a blood capital, you must know that Vietnam is very cautious about the matter of titles, and rarely gives titles to outsiders other than the surname Nguyen, let alone a Chinese.

"The king is going to roast me on the fire with the French," Liu Yongfu sighed, there was still a little blood on his forehead, which was bruised by a stray bullet in the offensive and defensive battle of Thang Long Mansion, he rolled off the female wall, and the black flag army defending the city was scared of something, thinking that Liu Yongfu was killed in battle, and the morale of the army was disturbed, so the army was defeated like a mountain, and suddenly gave Thang Long Mansion to the French, "France issued a reward order to me, hehe," Liu Yongfu stood up and looked at the sky outside the hall, the sun was shining cloudless, very sultry, "I can't imagine that my Liu's head is worth 100,000 francs."

Yang Zhuen, the leader of Baosheng Chengguan on the side, said in a deep voice, "The French are so vicious and vicious, and the reward order is coming, and the world thinks that our Black Flag Army can confront the French army, and now the king has issued an edict, although he did not explicitly ask for troops, it goes without saying that he has regarded us as a life-saving straw, counting on us and the French to fight hard." ”

"I came out of China, the first was naturally driven out by Feng Zicai, unable to gain a foothold in Guangxi, and second, I also had the intention of establishing a foundation here in Vietnam, since I can't gain a foothold in China, then let's help the Vietnamese work and exterminate some traitors, which is okay, but now he wants to take this baron and let me work for Vietnam? It's impossible. ”

"Uprooting his homeland is already a rootless wanderer, if he hurts his vitality here in the future, what it feels like, I guess the king of Vietnam will not help to experience it." Liu Yongfu, "Now it's difficult to ride a tiger, and many Vietnamese have come to ask us, right?" ”

"Yes, especially Vietnamese businessmen, the goods that originally went to sea from Thang Long Province were either seized or heavily taxed, and there was no way to sustain them."

"We live here, and we still can't ignore the people's feelings."

"But our armament is not enough, just rely on the things sent by Chen Wending, and it is not enough to fight with the French," Yang Zhuen said worriedly, "Beiqi has divided those muskets into our hands, and there is not much left." In Yunnan, although there is no ban on trade and commerce, merchants do not dare to transport such things as muskets. And now there are fewer business contacts, and the tax is forty percent lower than last month, and the reason is that the trade route of Thang Long Province on the other side of the Red River is broken. ”

Liu Yongfu hesitated, "If I stand in the way now, I'm afraid it will be thankless, Lao Yang, you know my thoughts, if I can return to China with this idea, I will never push back without saying a word." ”
