The people of Annan can not understand the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, but it is impossible for Sun Shiyi, as a general of the Qing army, not to understand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn fact, in the city of Guangzhou, where his southwest general's mansion is located, there is an office of the Qing Tang Army. After the Tang and Qing Dynasty signed the treaty of goodwill, the Tang Dynasty obtained the right to garrison troops in the Qing State, and Jiaqing, who was bent on ascending the throne, made many concessions, including the size and movement of the Tang Army stationed in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the training intensity of the Tang Army is actually greater, so if the people in Guangdong see the neatly lined up teams going out for exercises or rushing to the exercise ground, the biggest possibility is not the Qing Army, but actually the Tang Army.

Although Sun Shiyi was not invited to observe the exercises or training of the Tang Army, Sun Shiyi was a man in the army with a vicious eye after all, and he knew that with the training level of the Tang Army, what he got was definitely an elite division. Not to mention that in terms of military equipment, the weapons used by the Tang Army are more than a generation more advanced than the armies of other countries, which has long been a well-known secret.

When the Tang Army deployed in South China was equipped with Type 82 infantry fighting vehicles, Sun Shiyi also secretly looked at it. These huge iron cars, guns and bullets are difficult to invade, and the speed is fast, comparable to galloping horses, plus they can cross a lot of obstacles, Sun Shiyi can see the strength of this weapon at a glance. At the beginning, the Tang army was equipped with a large number of Tianniu half-track vehicles, which was one of the important factors that led to the rout of the Qing army in North China. Therefore, in the process of rebuilding the Qing army, the Qing court repeatedly proposed to the Tang Dynasty to purchase armored combat vehicles, but they were all rejected. Datang has very strict control over all kinds of equipment that can be used in military warfare. And not just military weapons. Even commodities with the potential for war use have been controlled.

For example, the open-top off-road vehicle produced by Datang General Motors. The machine gun on the rack can be used for warfare, so it has also been installed with a famous brand that restricts exports, and this kind of Willys Jeep, which is very popular in Datang, has not been sold abroad. Although the Qing Kingdom also imported some cars, they were mainly freight trucks and ordinary civilian cars, and off-road vehicles were not sold to them at all.

Sun Shiyi also learned through some channels that the 130mm field guns sold by the Tang people to the Qing army and treated as treasures by the Qing army were not equipped at all in the Tang army. The 105-mm howitzers used by the Tang regiment-level artillery, the self-propelled guns used by the mechanized troops, and the brigade-level artillery was directly 155 mm heavy guns. Compared with the exported foreign trade artillery, its power has obvious advantages.

On the whole, Sun Shiyi believed that the Tang Army, which was superior in terms of the quality of its soldiers, the degree of training, and the level of equipment, was a very terrible army, and the Qing Army would definitely not be their opponent, let alone the Xishan Army.

Although he regretted that his credit was folded like this, Sun Shiyi still truthfully reported what happened in Annan to Jiaqing. In fact, within two days, it was reported that the Tang army had broken through Fuchun City. and intercepted Nguyen Hue halfway, and Nguyen Hue committed suicide in defeat. News of the capture of his son Nguyen Quang Truong. After Jiaqing learned of this series of news, he felt that Ruan Huibing was defeated and died, and he was also a little annoyed by what the Tang people did.

After all, Annam has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and paid tribute to successive Central Plains dynasties. After being expelled by Nguyen Hue, Le Chojong of the Li Dynasty came to the Qing State and asked the Qing State to preside over justice, but Jiaqing has not yet made any decisions, and the Tang Dynasty has been vigorously uprooting the Thi Son Dynasty, which has eroded the entire Vietnam for more than ten years.

Jiaqing is not clear that due to the activities of the Datang military intelligence department, Datang has the support of a considerable number of middle and upper strata in Vietnam, that is, the landlord class and intellectuals. The Tang assured the middle and upper classes of Vietnam that their legitimate private property would be protected after the land tenancy reform, that they would be given the opportunity to serve in the local government, and most importantly, that the Tang would work to restore stability and stability to Vietnam.

In fact, this was attractive not only to the landlord class and intellectuals, but also to the vast number of Vietnamese people who had been suffering from the war for a long time. After all, in order to satisfy his military ambitions, Nguyen Hue even made a policy of drawing one soldier from three dings, and under such circumstances, the Vietnamese could not live normally. The Tang promised the Vietnamese who had defected to the Tang Dynasty, relieved them of their heavy labor and military service, and that landless or landless peasants would be given land to cultivate. If there is not enough land in Vietnam, Datang can also send them to the Mexican District as immigrants.

As for places like Datang itself and Oceania, Datang is not open to Vietnamese farmers to immigrate, which is reserved for the Chinese. Therefore, in the native states of the Tang Dynasty, excluding the Indian ethnic groups, the Chinese account for the absolute proportion of the total population, and the proportion of Chinese in the population of the native states also accounts for ninety percent of seven.

On the one hand, the momentum of the Tang Army is like a bamboo, and on the other hand, it is the propaganda that is qualified and in place, which makes the situation of the Tang Dynasty in Vietnam actually very good. With a little anger, Jiaqing summoned the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and asked him for an explanation. After all, Annan is a vassal state of the Qing State, and the Tang Dynasty's use of troops and occupation of Annan is an absolutely ugly and unrefined thing.

However, Zhu Yongfang, the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, also said to Jiaqing in a very diplomatic manner: "We express great regret that your country does not understand our Datang's actions in Annam. Our attitude is consistent and clear, it is the Hou Li Dynasty that clearly belongs to the Qing vassal state, and the Hou Li Dynasty has been destroyed by the rebellious Xishan Dynasty, and the Xishan Dynasty has no direct and clear diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and the actual sovereignty of Annam belongs to the Xishan Dynasty. Therefore, the war launched by our country against the Xishan Dynasty has nothing to do with your country, nor does it have anything to do with the silent and non-existent Hou Li Dynasty, and our country's occupation of Annam is reasonable and legitimate. At the same time, according to the Tang and Qing Treaties of Amity, China also welcomes people from the Qing Dynasty to live and do business in Annam, and after the establishment of overseas consular governments in Annam, we will follow the example of Siam, Chenla and other overseas consular governments to carry out the most favored trade with your country. ”

After Zhu Yongfang left, Jiaqing was so angry that he smashed things in the Heart Cultivation Palace. But after smashing it to calm down, he understood that the wood was a boat and irretrievable. If he had made any decisions that were unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty at this moment, perhaps the Tang troops stationed in Tanggu, Shanhaiguan and Zhangjiakou would have arrived in the capital that night, and the Praetorian Guard might be able to resist for a while, but if he failed, his fate might be like his father, he would be directly deposed and sent to Nanguwei Island. Jiaqing has the deepest fear of this, which is the main reason why he has never dared to turn his face with Datang. (To be continued.) )
