Tang Jingsong's heart was shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These two questions, "Why did you not send an envoy to pay tribute in 16 years" and "Why did you sign the "Peace Treaty" with a legal person without the permission of the Celestial Empire?" These two questions are by no means an understatement of "asking a question," but a condescending "question," "questioning," and even a ...... "asking for guilt."

He first answered "yes" heavily, and then thought about it seriously before he said: "I think this first question is to wake up Vietnam and keep its duty as a vassal; This second question, on the surface, is about Vietnam, but in fact, it is for the French. ”

Guan Zhuofan slapped his palms lightly and praised: "Okay, Wei Qing, Quanzhong!" ”

After a pause, "Let's talk about the first question first -- the Vietnamese are pretending to be confused, and they may not understand the duties of this vassal, but the word 'cautious' cannot be talked about in any way." 'Wake up', yes, it's to 'wake up', but you also have to see, what kind of 'point' method should be? ”

"In the past, the Vietnamese pretended to be confused with us, but in the end, there were only two sentences, one, 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away'; Now, let them see, our messengers, our soldiers, if they say that they will enter his capital, they will enter his capital! The sky where he is is not so high, and it is not so far from the capital of the Celestial Empire! ”

Speaking of this, he sneered slightly, "Do you want him to take a look, is our whip enough for him?" ”

"In short, the whole world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister -- the king of the heir must understand that Vietnam is in the 'king's land', and that he, the king, is the 'king' of the Celestial Empire! ”

Tang Jingsong was full of spirit and responded loudly: "Yes!" ”

"There is a 'reinforcement group' with you," Guan Zhuofan said, "You, the 'Vietnamese wind watcher', speak with a very different weight!" If they reprimand a few words, the Vietnamese monarchs and ministers will be 'awakened', that is the best, if they still pretend to be confused-"

After a pause, he said slowly, "I promise you to act cheaply." ”

Acting cheaply? Tang Jingsong quickly turned his mind, how can he "act cheaply"?

"Please make it clear!"

"For example, if there are clans and ministers who don't open their eyes, they can take down one or two to reap the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger."

Yes......

"Yes, I understand!"

"It's really not good," Guan Zhuofan's face showed a cruel smile that seemed like nothing, "It is feasible to abolish the establishment." ”

Tang Jingsong was taken aback, opened his mouth, and did not say the word "yes".

"Abolition is the last and last resort," Guan Zhuofan said, "Carefully evaluate the current situation, the necessity of taking this move is not too great, and that King Virtue does not seem to be such an unsightly person." Besides, if he is abolished, he will be appointed, and he will take pains to think about it - his adopted son seems to be quite pro-French? ”

"Also, the current situation in Vietnam is complicated, and if it is abolished at this time, will it mess up the situation, distract our energy, and affect the war against France? All of these should be carefully considered. ”

Tang Jingsong finally said, "Yes!" ”

"But, in any case, this is the 'last option', you have to have a score in your heart."

"Yes!"

After a pause and a slight breath, Tang Jingsong said: "I just couldn't come back to my senses all of a sudden, and I was stunned, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible to abolish the establishment in Vietnam!" ”

"In the past 60 or 70 years of the Nguyen Dynasty, all kinds of rebellions, sandwiched between the struggle for the unification and heir, have never stopped! Nguyen Phuc Hung Pau, wasn't that the French trying to abolish the establishment in Vietnam? It's just that the French can't come forward on their own, so they can only secretly fund Nguyen Phuc Hong Bao, and Nguyen Phuc Hong Bao's side is defeated by the imperial court after all, so it was defeated. ”

"We're different! We are the Heavenly Empire, and we can come out in the name of righteousness! The king of Vietnam was originally sealed by China, and if China can seal his king, it will naturally be able to remove his king! As long as the new king is still surnamed 'Nguyen Phuc', the clan and the courtiers have nothing to say! ”

"Since losing to the French and signing the "Peace Treaty of Renxu", the mood of the Vietnamese people has been very different from before - the three eastern provinces of Nanqi fought for four years before finally losing them; The three western provinces of Nanqi were lost to the French without firing a single shot! ”

Speaking of this, he accentuated his tone, "We have a 'Vietnamese detachment' with strong ships and guns, and there is a 'reinforced regiment' with sharp armor at the door of his house, which is resting under his nose, and it is really abandoned, even if some people are not convinced, they may not dare to speak up." ”

"So......" Tang Jingsong looked at Guan Zhuofan with admiration, "It's still the prince's foresight!" ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled, waved his hand, then hid his smile, and said: "The reason why I moved the idea of abolishing the establishment is because there are 'pro-French factions' in Vietnam, but there are no 'pro-China factions'. ”

Francophile? Pro-China?

"All the civilized systems in Vietnam are taken from China," Guan Zhuofan said, "China is the Celestial Empire and the suzerainty in Vietnam, but in addition to the name of the 'Celestial Empire' and the 'suzerain', we have no real power in Vietnam, and there are many Chinese in Vietnam, but they are no more useful than other Catholics!" ”

"This ...... Hehe, but it's a little embarrassing. ”

"However, if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that the French, but since Bai Duolu, they were born and died together with King Jia Long, I don't know how many lives were filled in, and after several generations of business, it was in exchange for a group of 'pro-French faction', what about us, there are a lot of lives in Vietnam, but unfortunately, they are all beaten by the Vietnamese people, alas!"

"We also have to cultivate our 'pro-China faction' in Vietnam! It's just that this is not an overnight achievement, which is why I think of abolishing the establishment -- if the king of Vietnam is supported by us with our own hands, then this 'pro-China faction' will be in place in one step! ”

This truth was said, and everyone here was convinced, Prince Xuan was really "far-sighted"!

"The prince is wise!"

"The prince is wise!"

After being patted on the back, Xu Gengshen said with some curiosity, "I'll make a small mistake - Wei Qing, you just said 'Nguyen Phuc', Vietnam's national surname, what is 'Ruan'?" Or 'Nguyen Phuc'? ”

"The current national surname," Tang Jingsong said, "should be 'Ruan Phuc'." Lord Nguyen was the first surname 'Nguyen', but 'Nguyen' is the first surname in Vietnam, and there are too many Vietnamese surnames 'Nguyen', not half, but also one-third, and Lord Nguyen thinks that Nguyen's surname is a small people, which is quite inappropriate, therefore, the third generation of Nguyen Lord, just after the word 'Nguyen', added a 'Fu', and became a compound surname 'Nguyen Phuc'. ”

I see.

"Okay, let's talk about the second question-" Guan Zhuofan said, "'Why did you sign the 'Peace Treaty' with a legal person without the permission of the Celestial Empire?'" ”

After a pause, "Wei Qing is right, this question is indeed for the French, but if Vietnam really regards itself as a vassal of China and signs this treaty, it will not fail to report to the Celestial Empire - even if it is just a formality?" So, it's really necessary to 'wake up' Vietnam! ”

"Let's not talk about Vietnam, let's talk about France-Wei Qing, in your opinion, let's ask Vietnam this word, if it spreads, how will the French react?"

"This ...... Approximately will jump. ”

"You reck...... How will it move? ”

Tang Jingsong pondered for a moment and said, "Back to the prince, it's hard for me to guess accurately, but-"

After a pause, "After occupying the six provinces of Nanqi, the French regard Vietnam as if they were nothing—the three eastern provinces are fine, after all, they have been fighting for several years; Entering and occupying the three western provinces, but it is not expensive to pay a single shot or bullet, and there is really no way to make the French look up to the Vietnamese! Alas, Pan Qingjian didn't make military arrangements at all, although he knew that he was invincible, thinking that even if he resisted, it would be useless in the overall situation, so why should he erode the place? But...... It's hard to say whether this is a merit or a demerit! ”

After a moment's pause, he continued: "The French have actually taken the whole territory of Vietnam as their own confinement and did not immediately go north for two reasons: first, Nanqi needs to take time to digest; Second, the farther north we go, the closer we get to China, and they can't help but have some scruples about our reaction. ”

"However, this is only the opinion of the more serious people, and the French officials in Vietnam, especially the military attachés in the middle and lower ranks, have all the sights of the Vietnamese - they look down on the Vietnamese and do not take us seriously."

"In the military circles of French Indochina, there is a saying that with just one company, you can capture Hanoi!"

"If someone asks: What about Chinese interference? This group of people will say that China does not have the strength to fight deep into Vietnam, so China's reaction does not need to be considered. ”

"The most arrogant will even say: China is in, so what? Better - add two more companies, after capturing Hanoi, by the way, occupy the whole of Beiqi! ”

Wen Xiang snorted and said, "It's really arrogant." ”

Cao Yuying said: "I think it's very good! The more arrogant the French are, the better it will be for us - the arrogant army will be defeated! ”

Wen Xiang nodded and stopped talking.

"Now," said Tang Jingsong, "we have not only come in, but also entered the capital of Vietnam, and if the French know again, we asked the king of Vietnam, 'Why did he sign the Treaty of Renxu with a legal person without the permission of the Celestial Empire', hey, they didn't jump, a few hopes!" ”

After a pause, "I don't think the French will immediately provoke us, but it is very likely that they will really put into practice the plan of attacking Hanoi and occupying Beiqi, so as to demonstrate to us." ”

"Well," Guan Zhuofan said, "cross Zhongqi and attack Beiqi directly by sea?" ”

"Yes, after all, Zhongqi is the location of Hue, the capital of Vietnam, and it must be placed last."

"How sure are you that the French will react?"

Tang Jingsong hesitated for a moment and said, "Five, sixty." ”

"Five, sixty percent sure? Hehe, it's too low! Guan Zhuofan shook his head slightly, "Wei Qing, I'll add the other four or fifty percent for you—"

Speaking of this, he looked at Qian Dingming and smiled slightly, "When the time comes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send an official note to France, clarifying the following matters——"

After a slight pause, "Vietnam is a vassal of China, and Vietnam did not seek China's ratification before signing the Treaty of Saigon, so China does not recognize all the provisions of the Treaty of Saigon, that is, the Peace of Nong. The Chinese Government solemnly points out that the six provinces of Nam Ky are illegally occupied by France, and that within three months of receiving this note, the French Government should withdraw all military forces from Nam Ky and abolish all administrative organs set up in Nam Ky. ”

Tang Jingsong's eyes widened suddenly.
