This situation is indeed complicated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"If I follow the example of my ancestors," said Guan Zhuofan, "if nothing else, the Siamese people will inevitably feel a chill on their lips and teeth -- the Siamese people will naturally think that Vietnam is China's 'vassal service', and Siam is also China's 'vassal service', and China has turned Vietnam's 'vassal service' into a 'territory'. ’”

"That's it, the key is the British!"

"If we insist on eating Vietnam, the British will inevitably look sideways, and their thinking is about the same as that of the Siamese people -- Vietnam is China's 'vassal service', and Myanmar is also China's 'vassal service'.

"Down Burma, but it's already in the palm of the British!"

"Burma is fine, the west of Burma, but India - that is the forbidden part of the British confinement, and no outsider is allowed to touch it!"

"Britain is the first power in the world, France is the second power, we are now limited in strength, we must not provoke the second power at the same time, arouse the first power of excessive suspicion; Besides, at the moment, there are still many places where we are begging for this number one power, and it is far from the time when we can have another disagreement with him or even turn their faces. ”

"What the prince said is extremely true!" Cao Yuying said, "Distant friends and close attacks, there are clear precepts in ancient times, Britain and France are to me, the difference between far and near, although it is not as good as Qin to the Six Kingdoms, but the truth is roughly the same." ”

"That's right!" Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "'The truth in the middle, roughly like this', is right!" ”

After a pause, "The most important thing is that the most important thing for us now, is not to expand the territory, but to get rid of the old evils, consolidate the foundation, and develop the yuan!" At this point, you can't put too much energy outside, otherwise, the priorities will be reversed, and the really important things will be delayed! ”

The listeners were slightly shocked and responded in unison: "Yes!" ”

"When you get to the body, your bones are strong, and your body is full of tendon meat, hehe, how many of the good mountains and rivers outside are not enough?"

Prince Xuan's words were very heroic, and the listeners were all bloody, and they responded in unison again: "Yes!" Obey the king's instructions! ”

"Lord Wang," Tang Jingsong said, "I once thought that if the boundary was demarcated and guarded...... Well, I mean, it's not bad to divide Vietnam into two, with the south to the French, and the middle and north to us, but in retrospect, this idea is unavoidable...... Well, that's ridiculous. ”

Partition of Vietnam between China and France?

Guan Zhuofan's eyes flashed, and he said: "It's not ridiculous, you think so, it's not without your reason, but-"

After a pause, "China is the suzerain, Vietnam is a vassal subduary, China has a meaning of 'big characters and small characters' to Vietnam, if Vietnam changes from China's 'vassal service' to China's 'territory', it can be called ...... Well, 'Return to the Celestial Empire'! This is Vietnam's 'territory' of China! However, if China and outsiders were divided into Vietnam, that would ...... China doesn't look like a suzerainty and a celestial empire. ”

Speaking of this, he accentuated his tone, "Vietnam, it will be preserved." ”

The audience understood what the word "preservation" meant: Or, Vietnam was left there, and no one should move it; If it wants to move, it can only be done by China alone -- even if China swallows Vietnam in its entirety, as long as it is "the whole country", hehe, it can also be called "preservation".

Tang Jingsong sweated slightly on his forehead, "Yes!" ”

"Also," said Guan Zhuofan, "we will conspire with Prussia to conspire with us, and there will be no second chance like this; There will be no second time to take the opportunity to expel France from Indochina! If we let him stay in Indochina, when he recovers, we will never be satisfied with the six provinces of Nanqi, between China and France, sooner or later there will be another provocation! ”

"Raising tigers is a legacy of the wise!"

"Yes, yes!"

The sweat on Tang Jingsong's forehead became more and more obvious.

"Besides," Guan Zhuofan said, "on the European side, Prussia can be regarded as a country against France, and this war has really pressed his entire national fortunes!" On the Asian side, if we are half-hearted, we can't explain it to our allies! We promised Prussia to go all out to drive France out of Indochina and restore China's suzerainty in French Indochina! ”

"At the beginning, if we hadn't made this promise, Prussia might not have made up its mind to form an alliance with us and conspire with us!"

"Yes, yes!"

Tang Jingsong secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said, "However, what Wei Qing said also reminded me-"

After a pause, "Although we want to drive the French out of Indochina, we can't make a life-and-death rivalry with the French because of this, after all, France is the second most powerful country in the world, and each other's beams are too deep, and it is not good for us, not to mention anything else, French engineers, French francs, we still need this, well, and make money with harmony!" ”

Oh?

Oh......

However, since they have driven people out of Indochina, how can they still be "harmonious" with each other?

Guan Zhuofan saw the questions of his subordinates, he smiled and said, "When I said 'expelling the French from Indochina', I just drove the military and political forces of the French out, economically...... Well, the French want to do business in Vietnam, and we still welcome it; It is not impossible for the French to continue their missionary work in Vietnam. ”

Is it okay to proselytize?

"In fact," Guan Zhuofan said, "this teaching, you don't allow him to pass it on, it's useless!" King Mingming, King Shaozhi, King Duc, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren have all been banned from teaching, before and after, how many times have they been banned? The result is more and more prohibition! This teaching, he can't upload it on the table, so he goes underground, so that you can't see it, you can't touch it, the wildfire can't burn inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again! Rather than this, it is better to ask him to put it on the table, see it, and touch it! ”

After a pause, "Only when you can see and touch can you manage it!" ”

The audience nodded slightly.

"Please show me the prince," Wen Xiang asked, "what should I do with this mission?" ”

"It's okay to preach," Guan Zhuofan said, "but you have to follow the rules!" ”

After a slight pause, "This rule can't be set by Vietnam itself - their set doesn't work!" ”

"Naturally, it cannot be decided by the French or by the Holy See - otherwise, this battle will be fought in vain!"

"This rule has to be set by us!"

"After the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion was brought to peace, the management of educational affairs was put to the top, and a whole new set of statutes was implemented, and in the past two years, initial results have been achieved.

Shaanxi and Gansu Educational Affairs Management ...... The audience quickly turned their minds.

Soon, they all understood the mystery and nodded their heads, "Hmm! "Hmm!"

Wen Xiang said tentatively, "Lord Wang, we can use this set of regulations to manage Catholicism in Vietnam, so can we also ...... ourselves?"

Guan Zhuofan nodded slightly, "Yes!" It's just that it's not going to work out yet. ”

After a pause, "However, the day will come when it will be successful." ”

That day? Which day?

Needless to say, it was the day when all the shame was exhausted and all the rights and interests were in my hands!

"I believe," Guan Zhuofan's voice was calm, but word by word, "this day will not be too long." ”

Everyone here, including the youngest Tang Jingsong, is a very deep person, but after listening to Guan Zhuofan's words, everyone's heartbeat can't help but speed up!

"After the emperor ascends the throne," Guan Zhuofan said to Tang Jingsong, "Wei Qing, you can go back to Vietnam." ”

"Yes!"

"This time," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "You, the 'Vietnam Interview Envoy', don't have to hide it anymore." ”

Don't have to hide and tucked it anymore?

Tang Jingsong couldn't help but lift his spirits.

"Moreover," Guan Zhuofan said, "this time, your envoy is more than 'interview', the title of 'interview envoy' is no longer enough to fulfill your mission, well, in this way, change the 'interview envoy' to 'wind observation envoy', and add the rank of inspector!" ”

Wind watcher? By the rank of inspector?!

Tang Jingsong's heart was pounding, "Lord, I ......"

Guan Zhuofan waved his hand and said, "I know what you're going to say, it's nothing more than being young and lacking qualifications—"

After a pause, "In terms of age, your age is only one year younger than me; In terms of qualifications, you have been in Vietnam for three years, and this is the qualifications! - No one has your qualifications, not even me! ”

A hot and sour breath rose from Tang Jingsong's heart.

"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "and more importantly, this 'according to the rank of inspector' is not just for you, first of all, it is for the 'Vietnamese Wind Observation Envoy', do you understand?" ”

Tang Jingsong thought for a moment and said, "I understand! 'Vietnam's Wind Watching Envoy' is the Heavenly Envoy! If...... If Vietnam is not our vassal, then the 'Vietnamese envoy' is equivalent to the 'minister in Vietnam'! ”

"Not bad!" Guan Zhuofan nodded with satisfaction, "However, Vietnam is our vassal service, so the 'Vietnamese Envoy to the Wind' is not the same as the 'Minister in Vietnam', if it must be compared, it is similar to the French 'Governor of Indochina'." ”

In this comparison, Prince Xuan's attempt was revealed.

Tang Jingsong's heart beat faster, "Yes!" Humble duty understands! ”

"In addition," Guan Zhuofan said, "when King Gia Long ascended the throne, Emperor Ren Zongrui sent the Guangxi envoy Zibson to Vietnam, canonized him as the king of Vietnam, and awarded the king of Vietnam a golden seal. So, well, the position of 'Vietnamese Wind Observation Envoy' should not be lower than the third grade, and it can be regarded as a ...... Well-founded. ”

"Yes!"

"Actually," Cao Yuying said, "whether it's a 'wind watcher' or an 'interview envoy', it's the same origin." During the Zhenguan period, Tang Taizong sent officials to inspect the world, observe the customs and customs, and called the "wind observation envoy", also known as the "interview envoy". In addition, there are also names such as inspection, pacification, storage and so on. In the last years of Tianbao, he was the "Wind Watcher" and the "Dethroned Envoy". In the Zhide period, after 'Guanfeng', the word 'disposal' was added, which was called 'Guanfeng Disposal Envoy'——"

After a pause, he said meaningfully, "This makes it clearer." ”

"Yes!" Tang Jingsong said, "What Zhuo Gong instructed! ”

glanced at Guan Zhuofan, "The deep meaning of the prince, I must appreciate it carefully!" There will never be the slightest negligence! Not to ...... It is an insult to the mission of "Vietnam's Wind Watcher"! ”

"Good!" Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "Wei Qing, have ambition!" ”

After a pause, "You are naturally not alone when you go to Vietnam this time, in addition to having all your subordinates, as an envoy of the Heavenly Empire, you naturally have to have your own guards." Well, in this case, I will transfer a regiment from the Xuan army to serve as your escort, and go to Vietnam with you. ”

A regiment of Xuan Army?

Tang Jingsong was taken aback.

However, he reacted immediately: a regiment of Xuan Army! Where is this "guard"? That's what I said before, it's time to garrison troops in Vietnam!

So fast?

Originally, I thought that after fighting this battle with France, we would see the victory and defeat before we could talk about the garrison in Vietnam.

"This regiment," said Guan Zhuofan, "is a 'reinforced regiment,' with infantry, artillery, and a Marine Corps—"

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, "The Marine Corps that Major Mavida trained for us will not work, this time, it is best to give it a try." ”

It's better to give it a try - what do you mean?

Is it?

The first shot of the Sino-French battle will be fired by this army?

Tang Jingsong's heart beat violently.
