"Wei Qing, please advise," Xu Gengshen asked, "Is this King of Anfeng County who was given death a member of Prince Yingrui's family?" ”

"No," Tang Jingsong said, "he is the eldest son of King Shaozhi and the half-brother of King Side." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Since I've done all the way with the French, it's about ...... Religious? ”

"Yes."

The audience looked at each other.

"It seems," Xu Gengshen frowned slightly, "the roots of the French and Catholicism in Vietnam...... It's really deep! It's not just Prince Yingrui's family, there are so many religious believers in the clan! ”

"Yes," said Tang Jingsong, "and the French and the Catholic in Vietnam, one and the other, two and one, are in fact the same root - at least, the two roots are tightly intertwined and cannot be separated." ”

For example, for a period of time after the Le Van Quy Rebellion, the French were greatly defeated, and the consuls sent to Vietnam were not recognized and could not gain a foothold, so they had to return to China. ”

"But the French were able to drive away, but the Catholics were not only banned, but they were getting more and more forbidden! However, Catholicism is not endless, and the roots of the French cannot be uprooted! The timing was right, as soon as the French returned to Vietnam, their power immediately flourished, and there was no need to re-cultivate them slowly. ”

This passage is very important!

How important is it? ――It's important enough to change Guan Zhuofan's tacit regulations on Vietnam early on!

Before that, there were some things that even Guan Zhuofan didn't think of - or rather, although he thought of it, he didn't really think it through and think it through.

It seems that the "dividend" of crossing is really not enough to eat for a lifetime, and this "Vietnamese interview envoy" is really necessary! And, well, the people who are entrusted with it!

Guan Zhuofan looked at Tang Jingsong with great appreciation, and was conspiring, only to hear Qian Dingming say: "Wei Qing, France and Vietnam are fighting, are there any Vietnamese believers who do things for the French?" ”

"Yes! How not? ”

"Vietnamese people," Tang Jingsong said, "there are many clubs, many of which have a variety of names, many of which are under the guise of clubs, but under the guise of a club, they are actually Catholic churches, and because the imperial court forbade religion, they can't help but pretend to be clubs." When the French army attacked, these orders were all working for the French army, either as guides and guides, or as messengers, or smuggling some fish, meat, rice and vegetables—"

After a pause, "It's also the French army's self-lining ships and guns, and they are safe to win, and they don't need the direct help of these sects, otherwise, even if they pull their flags and set off their cannons, it's not unusual!" ”

"Well," Wen Xiang said slowly, "This class of sects can be regarded as 'Yue Rape'." ”

"Zhongtang is right!"

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself that the Vietnamese people in this era had neither national consciousness nor national consciousness, and even after joining the church, they only had "God" in their minds. The foolish people who have been brainwashed by religion have always been the most difficult opponents, and the Vietnamese battlefield of the Sino-French War really needs to be paid special attention to this group of Catholics.

"To tell you the truth," Cao Yuying sighed, "before that, I didn't expect that the French and Catholic forces in Vietnam would be so deep-rooted!" The upper part of the clan, the lower grasp of Li Shu-"

Paused slightly, "Oh yes, Wei Qing, the adopted son of the heir king I said before, hmm......"

"Rui Guogong."

"Yes, Rui Guogong," Cao Yuying said, "Well, this Rui Guogong is probably in a similar situation—pro-French and religious? ”

"Yes."

"Well, it seems that King Side is indeed going to have a headache."

There is a sentence that Cao Yuying didn't say: we also have some headaches.

"The reason why Vietnam's affairs are so difficult to handle," Tang Jingsong said, "is that foreign affairs and educational affairs are completely entangled together -- that's it, the most fatal thing is that foreign affairs and educational affairs are entangled with the struggle for the heirs, and these three things, entangled with each other, are inseparable even from the Da Luo Immortals -- how many things in Vietnam are bad here!" ”

"Looking at King Side from our eyes, we will probably think that he is stubborn - defeated again and again, and the whole of Nanqi has been lost, and he still does not change his course and work hard? In fact, according to me, this heir to the king may not want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, nor may he not know that Vietnam's original set is no longer bright, and if he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, he only has the skills of Shiyi, but he is in a dilemma! ”

"If he learns from us, runs foreign affairs, and lets Taixi's civilized utensils into Vietnam, then the power of legal persons must be even more arrogant -- that's all, the key is that Vietnam is the most proud and comfortable in doing foreign affairs, but I am afraid that it is not a legal person, but a pro-French and religious clan!"

"That group, including Prince Yingrui and his family, are all staring at the throne under him! If he does not do foreign affairs, although the country is weak, at least he can still sit on the throne of the king; After doing foreign affairs, one is not careful, don't say that the king's position, I am afraid that the leader will not be guaranteed, even if he dies without a place to be buried, it is not unusual! ”

Incisive!

Several listeners had a light in their eyes.

"If you think about it, that's really what happened!" Guo Songtao said, "How did King Mingming treat Ying He's mother and son? How did King Side himself treat King Anfeng? Thinking that one day, you will change places, and you are not frightened? ”

"What Yun Weng said is extremely true!" Tang Jingsong said, "Actually, even the case of Anfeng Junwang is also cause and effect, and there is still a big turmoil behind!" ”

"It was last year—"

After a slight pause, "King Si De served the sergeant to set up a mausoleum for him in Hue, the project is huge, the construction period is tight, the soldiers are extremely tired, and there are many complaints. A group of generals and courtiers took the opportunity to incite the soldiers to rebel, and they supported Ding Dao, the son of the king of Anfeng County, as the main - because of the rebellion, the descendants of the king of Anfeng County all cut off their national surnames and changed their surnames to Ding, and this Ding Dao, the original name, was called Ruan Phuc Yingdao. ”

"The rebels invaded the imperial city and wanted to kill the heir to King De, but fortunately, Hu Wei, the guard, closed the palace gate in time, and the rebels were not allowed to enter the gate and were finally defeated."

"This big case is very widely implicated, and among them, there is more than one clan who died because of it. Needless to say, Director Ding's entire family was executed by beheading; In addition, the reason why the rebels were able to storm the imperial city was because of the response of the right army Zunmuro Ju, and after the defeat, Sonmuro Ju committed suicide - he was also a clan. ”

After a pause, Tang Jingsong continued, "I have personally experienced this case. At that time, the whole city of Hue was in chaos, and many rebels, including rebels and officers, set fire to the city, burning, killing, and plundering. In my house, I could see the fire and smoke in the distance, and I could hear the angry scolding and cries in the street. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "At that time, I thought, if the rebels break into the door, I don't know if I, the signboard of the 'Heavenly Empire', will work?" Fortunately, no one has come to knock on the door, and it seems that this signboard still works. ”

Tang Jingsong said it very lightly, it was a half-joking tone, but everyone imagined the thrilling situation at that time, but they couldn't laugh.

After a while, Xu Gengshen asked with a little curiosity, "Venerable Room Chrysanthemum-Sect?" ”

Tang Jingsong knew what he was going to ask, nodded his head, and said, "Yes, but he is a 'far branch'." ”

After a slight pause, "Actually, the 'Zun Room' is the 'Clan' -- this is a trick made up by King Mingming, who designated the Jialong Wang's line as the 'Near Branch'; and the Jialong Wang's line, it was designated as the 'Far Branch', and the Yuanzhi Clan, all of them changed their surnames to 'Zun Room'. ”

"This ......" Wen Xiang smiled, "Compared to the 'clan' and 'Jueluo' of this dynasty, it is quite similar." ”

"Yes," Tang Jingsong said, "about ...... King Ming Ming is a scholar of this dynasty. ”

After a pause, he sighed and said, "I think, the person of King Mingming, don't look at him changing the law of the first king and strictly forbidding foreign religions, in fact, ...... It's not as rigid as most people think, let's not talk about the real good things - even if it's a foreigner, as long as it's good, he is actually very willing to learn. ”

"For example, he ordered the opening of the 'Water and Fire Ji Depot' to build steam locomotives, and he ordered French missionaries imprisoned in the imperial city of Hue to translate French books. In addition, he hired a French doctor to 'inoculate' the princes and princesses. ”

Oh?
