The telegram came in an instant, and at night, the Empress Dowager Cixi had already received the news, and there was a suggestion on how to deal with the matter from the Military Aircraft Department, the Empress Dowager Cixi originally thought that there was no other way than to continue to oppress the French army on the Langsheng front line and fight back diplomatically, and she was having a headache for this matter, so she called the imperial doctor to prescribe a plaster, and was ready to paste it to her temples. ”

There are not enough people in the middle of the line, Wang Kaiyun temporarily served as a confidential secretary, and when he heard the queen mother's orders, he opened the fold, took a look at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Xisheng, it's better for you to take a look at this fold." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi took the fold as she said, opened it and saw that the originally lazy spirit disappeared without a trace, "En? I didn't expect a plan to come out so quickly in the capital? Li Dynasty," she subconsciously patted her fold, "What is the situation, but I don't know, I just know the current Ruan Dynasty, then, this matter, call Qinghai Lai," she raised her face and instructed Li Lianying, "He is in charge of the Imperial Court, and he should know best about these old things." ”

Qinghai really knew a lot about Vietnam, and talked about it, the establishment of the Li Dynasty was still in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1407, the Ming Dynasty of China destroyed the Hu Dynasty of Vietnam and annexed Vietnam. The Ming Dynasty had many disturbances in Vietnam, coupled with the nationalism of the Vietnamese, which led to constant anti-Ming conflicts. In 1418, Li Li rebelled against the Ming in the Blue Mountains and proclaimed himself the "King of Pingding". Following the advice of Second Lieutenant Le Gi, Le Le Le occupied first central Vietnam and then the Eastern Capital (present-day Hanoi) in 1424. Le Ly expelled the Ming Dynasty from Vietnam in 1427 (the second year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty). After defeating the Ming occupation forces of the Ming Dynasty, Li Li issued the "Ping Wu Great Edict", declaring the legitimacy of his expulsion of the Ming people, the restoration of the country, and the establishment of political power. In 1428 (the first year of Shuntian), Li Li was proclaimed emperor, and he was the Later Li Taizu, with the country name "Da Yue", and established the Later Li Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty also canonized Le Le and recognized his power, and the two countries established the practice of Le Thi paying a tribute to the Ming Dynasty every three years, and the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in Vietnam's internal affairs and maintained peace.

In 1592, Zheng Song, the general of the Later Li Dynasty, defeated the Mo Dynasty in the north, and the Later Li Dynasty returned to Thang Long. At this time, Zheng Song's power was hot, and he served as "the marshal of the capital and the general government of the country, the father of Ping'an Wang", and held the right to appoint and dismiss officials, levy taxes, draw Ding, govern the people, etc., and the status was hereditary, known as "Zheng Zhu", and the Li Emperor was only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys in the court, and later historians described this situation as "Li Shi is the emperor and Zheng is in power". Southern Vietnam was controlled by the Nguyen family, and as early as the confrontation between the north and south of Lê and Mozambique, Nguyen Huang, the son of Nguyen Gan, the minister of the Lê Dynasty, saw that Zheng Jian was suspicious of him, so he invited himself out of Hue in 1558 (the second year of the reign of Tien Yu). Nguyen Gan actively operated in Hue, won the hearts and minds of the people, and later developed into the "Nguyen Lord" regime.

In the second half of the 18th century, the southern Nguyen lordship was politically corrupted. In 1771, the Nguyen Yue, Nguyen Hue, and Nguyen Couple brothers rose up in Sai Son Eup, Quy Nhon (known as the Tay Son Uprising in history) to attack the Nguyen regime. The Nguyen clan of Tay Son united with the Truong lord to conquer Phu Xuan (i.e. Hue) in 1776, and the following year killed Nguyen Phuc Chun, the king of the Nguyen family, and Nguyen Phuc Duong, the king of the new policy, to overthrow the Nguyen lord's regime, and Nguyen Lu was proclaimed emperor in 1778, and the Nguyen lord was left with Nguyen Phuc Anh to continue to resist. At this time, the Zheng regime in the north was also in decline, "the general will be lazy and arrogant", Nguyen Hue Nai north to conquer the Zheng clan, defeated the Zheng army in 1786, the Zheng lord Zheng Kai committed suicide, and Thang Long fell under the control of the Tay Son Nguyen clan. Zheng Yu succeeded to the throne as the last Zheng lord, but he was in conflict with Emperor Li Zhaotong, and fled after only a year of reign, and the Zheng regime ended. Emperor Zhaotong's attempt to restore power failed, and he fled into China in 1789 (the third year of Zhaotong), and the later Li Dynasty collapsed.

"Lord Qianlong also sent troops to Vietnam once, this is one of the ten martial arts of Ping'an Nan," Qinghai continued, "but there are twists and turns, ahem, first victory and then defeat, Emperor Gaozong thinks that Li Weiqi has lost the hearts of the people and cannot be the lord of Vietnam, and God has left the Li Dynasty behind, so he will no longer help him to restore the throne." ”

The commander of the expedition to Vietnam, Fukangan, set up a banquet to entertain Li Chouzong, claiming that it was very hot in Annam, and it was the height of summer, so it was not suitable to go on the expedition; When autumn came, he immediately sent troops to attack the Xishan Dynasty, hoping that the remnants of the Later Li Dynasty would become pioneers. At the same time, it was suggested that Le Cho Zong shave his hair "temporarily" to avoid being discovered by Nguyen Hue's troops and assassinated during the conquest of the Tay Son Dynasty. Li Shuzong agreed, and took the lead in shaving his hair and making it easy to wear; Seeing that the monarch was like this, the remnants of the Later Li Dynasty also shaved their hair and changed their clothes. In fact, Fukangan's move was to curry favor with Emperor Qianlong, and he had no plan to send troops to Annan at all. Li Tong refused to comply and was imprisoned in Nanning. Subsequently, Li Shuzong and his entourage were summoned to Beijing by Emperor Qianlong. After tricking Li Chuzong and his entourage into shaving their hair and changing clothes, Fukangan played Emperor Qianlong, claiming that Li Chuzong had broken off the idea of recovering the country and was willing to live in China. After Emperor Qianlong received the chapter, he ordered Li Shuzong and his party to be moved to live in Beijing. Li Shuzong and his entourage arrived in Beijing, and Emperor Qianlong incorporated them into the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Emperor Qianlong placed Li Shuzong, the Empress Dowager and the Yuan Zi on the side of the Guozi Prison of Andingmen in Beijing, called "Xi'an Nanying"; The remnants of the Later Li Dynasty were placed on the side of the Yangpu Ya in Dongzhimen, called "Dong'an Nanying". According to the rations, they are allowed to go and go for their own convenience. Emperor Qianlong also sent Jin Jian, the commander of the Yellow Banner, to confer the position of Zuo Leader and the hereditary rank of Sanpin. However, Li Chuzong's desire to restore the country was still unquenchable, and he went to Jin Jian's mansion many times and wrote to ask the Qing court to send troops to attack the Xishan Dynasty. But these letters were intercepted by Jin Jian under the instructions of He Shen and not let Emperor Qianlong know; On the other hand, they have found various reasons to shirk again and again in order to prevaricate Li Chouzong.

"Later, Yuanzi contracted smallpox and died, and the emperor was very sad, and he died the following year.

"According to the report in Beijing, it is said that the descendants of Li Shuzong have been inherited for four generations, all of which are single, and the current heir is called Li Daoyuan." The Empress Dowager Cixi flipped through the folds, "Prince Li said that this person can be canonized as the king, return to Vietnam, and restore the position of the lord of the Li Dynasty, Qinghai, what do you think, is this matter feasible?" ”

Qinghai Hai's eyes lit up, "If there is really this person, it must be available, the Nguyen Dynasty is so perverse, it must be that the people's grievances are boiling, and the suffering is unspeakable, plus many people of insight in Vietnam can get closer, we may not have great righteousness in our hands." ”

"We naturally have great righteousness in our hands," Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "We are the suzerain, so naturally we have great righteousness in our hands." (To be continued.) )
