China is surrounded by a group of vile, shameless, and ungrateful white-eyed wolves. For thousands of years, when China was powerful and a well-deserved hegemon in the Far East, these countries brazenly became vassals of the empire, desperately trying to reap the benefits of China. But after China weakened, these countries immediately turned into hungry wolves, desperately trying to bite off a piece of meat from China.

Among these countries, the Vietnamese monkeys in particular have done too much. After the establishment of New China, the Vietnamese monkeys were still fighting with the French. At that time, China was so poor that it couldn't even eat itself. However, he also saved a lot of rice and white noodles that he was reluctant to eat, and selflessly helped them. After the Vietnamese defeated the French, the Americans came again. As a result, China came to Vietnam's aid to resist the United States. However, after the Vietnamese defeated the Americans, they ate the rice and white noodles that China aided them, and China aided them with weapons to fight China. This is the most shameless country in the world. A self-defense counterattack, the Vietnamese monkeys who fought lost their temper. However, after entering the new century, those Vietnamese monkeys resurrected and began to invade China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea, which can be said to give full play to the image of a white-eyed wolf.

This time, the empire under Wu Haoxuan's control will definitely not allow such a situation to happen again. After the empire becomes stronger, the Vietnamese monkeys will no longer have any chance to turn over. The northern territories they plundered from China will be returned to China. In addition, they will always live under the colonial rule of the empire in the future, and will never have the opportunity to bite the empire again.

The French Indochina colonies included not only Vietnam, but also Cambodia and Laos. Hanoi, in northern Vietnam, became the capital of the French Indochina colony. Historically, France spent a lot of effort to conquer the colonies of Indochina, and fought a total of three Franco-Vietnamese wars. It succeeded in turning Vietnam into a French colony.

In the 50s of the 19th century, the heyday of the Second French Empire, France under the rule of Napoleon III frantically implemented a policy of plundering and expansion in order to open up new markets, sending troops to Tunisia and extending its black hand to Indochina. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in Indochina are rich in mineral resources and have an important strategic position in southern Asia. France took control of Vietnam, so it could use Indochina as a springboard to invade southern China, so France took advantage of the fact that the feudal ruling clique of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam had gone against the grain after its victory over Tay Son and tried its best to maintain feudal relations of production, stifle the budding capitalism that had just emerged, and make the domestic class contradictions sharp and complicated, and in 1847 they used the pretext that their missionaries were killed by the Vietnamese. At Toulon (Da Nang) sank 5 ships of the Hue court. In 1856, the French fleet bombarded the port of Toulon again, waiting for an opportunity to provoke a war of aggression against Vietnam.

On June 27, 1858, Admiral Gordon de France was appointed to the French Admiral Gordon. De Genui led the French expeditionary force and the Spanish coalition army of more than 3,000 men and 14 warships to bombard and occupy the undefended port of Toulon in Vietnam, opening the prelude to the Franco-Vietnamese War. After the French expeditionary force occupied the territory of Læ Læ, they did not immediately attack north to occupy Hue, the capital of Vietnam, but on February 18, 1859, they moved south along the coast and captured Saigon, an important town in southern Vietnam. Only a small garrison was sent to Da Nang. The French believed that the land in southern Vietnam was fertile. With abundant products and developed maritime communications, the occupation of this area would allow you to control the economic lifeline of South Vietnam and lay the foundation for the subsequent control of the whole of Vietnam. After the end of the war of aggression against China, January 1861. A new French and Spanish expeditionary force (more than 8,000 men, more than 70 warships, 80 transports, 500 artillery pieces) marched into Saigon. By the summer of 1862, the Franco-Spanish expeditionary force occupied the four provinces of Jiading, Dingxiang, Bienhe and Vinh Long, as well as large cities such as Meidi and Bajia. On June 5, 1862, Vietnamese delegates signed the Treaty of Friendship with France and Spain in Saigon. Under this treaty, France acquired the three provinces of Jiading, Dingxiang, Bianhe and Kunlun Island. Vietnam is committed. Territories could not be ceded to other powers without the consent of France; opening the Mekong River and its tributaries and 3 ports for French trade; Christian missionaries are allowed to preach freely within Vietnam. In addition, Vietnam is required to pay 20 million francs in reparations to France and Spain.

After the first war of aggression against Vietnam, the French colonists further pursued a policy of aggression and expansion, and on the basis of consolidating their control over the three eastern provinces in southern Vietnam, they successively invaded and occupied the three western provinces. In order to open the door to southwest China, the French colonists began to expand into northern Vietnam in 1873. On March 15, 1874, the Second Treaty of Saigon was signed, stipulating that the French army would maintain law and order in the area under the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty; Vietnam recognized France's indisputable control over Cochinchina; The French were allowed to use the Red River as a conduit for trade with southwest China.

On June 6, 1884, Vietnam and France signed the Treaty of Hue in Hue. From then on, the southern provinces of Vietnam (Cochinchina) became French colonies, and the central provinces (Annam) were granted the status of protectorates, and the power of the Vietnamese Emperor was retained in name only. Sovereignty over Tokyo remained formally with the Yue Emperor, but unlike Annam, the north was controlled by French officials.

At the same time as the French invasion of Vietnam, an invasion of Cambodia and Laos was also launched. In order to have suzerainty over the whole of Vietnam, France broke out the Sino-French War with China, and occupied central and northern Vietnam and Cambodia from 1883 to 1885, and renamed central Vietnam Annam, and the northern part of Vietnam as Tokyo. In 1885, China and France signed the Treaty of Tianjin, in which China formally renounced Vietnam's suzerainty. In October 1887, the Confederation of French Indochina was formally established. Later, in the Franco-Siamese War of 1893 (Siam is Siam, i.e. Thailand), Laos was also included in the Federation of French Indochina. Although France had de facto dominion over Indochina, the royal families of the previous kingdoms were retained as puppets. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, French Indochina fought several wars against French colonial rule, but they were all suppressed by the French rulers.

"Who are the main Vietnamese resisters who were invited to the empire by the empire this time?" Wu Haoxuan asked.

"Your Majesty, mainly including Pan Zhouzhen, Pan Peizhu and Ruan Aiguo." Admiral Chen Xudong said.

"Phan Chow Trung and Phan Pei Chu are both well-known Vietnamese resisters and have a lot of influence in France. But who is Nguyen Ai Ai? Wu Haoxuan asked in some surprise.

Pan Zhouzhen and Pan Peizhu were famous in the French Indochina colony, which of course, made them the target of the French colonial authorities. If it weren't for the protection of the Empire's * Military Intelligence Directorate, the two would have been arrested and imprisoned long ago, or even killed. This time I was invited to the empire, and there was no reason to avoid trouble. As for Ruan Aiguo, the name Wu Haoxuan is relatively unfamiliar.

"Your Majesty, Nguyen Aiguo is a young man, only 23 years old this year. His original name was Nguyen Bi Thanh, and he changed his name to Nguyen Ai Ng Thanh during the early rebellion against French colonial rule. He was born on May 19, 1890 in Nam Tan district, Nghe An province to an intellectual family. At the age of fifteen, when he was studying at the Hue State School, he had already participated in secret anti-French activities and liaisoned with some patriots. But he did not approve of the idea of the bourgeois, petty-bourgeois revolutionaries who relied on foreign countries to beg for independence. At the beginning of 1911, he dropped out of Phan Thiet to work as a teacher at the Yuk Thanh Private School, and soon arrived in Saigon. Originally, Nguyen Aiguo hoped to go to Western countries to observe and study, in order to seek the revolutionary truth of saving the country and the people. However, the head of the Military Intelligence Agency in French Indochina saw that Nguyen Aiguo was a talented person and suggested that he come to the empire. Admiral Chen Xudong said.

Hearing what General Chen Xudong said, Wu Haoxuan finally knew who this Ruan Aiguo was. This is a famous person, known as the father of modern Vietnam! During his time in Vietnam, the relationship between Vietnam and China was very close. However, after his death, his successors immediately became white-eyed wolves.

"After they came, first of all, they were given enough protection in terms of safety and could not let them have an accident. Also, try to meet their requirements as much as possible. At the same time, train the army for them, accumulate strength. When the world war is over, let them go back to the Indochina colony and let them fight the French. Wu Haoxuan said.

Historically, France suffered the worst losses in the First World War. The country has fallen a lot, and the people have been killed and injured innumerably. The loss of financial resources is even more immeasurable. At that time, France was at its weakest. If the empire had given these Vietnamese support, they would have caused a lot of trouble for the Vietnamese. At that time, the French will not even have time to seek the empire, and they will not unite with Britain and the United States and other countries to find trouble with China.

It is foreseeable that after the end of the First World War, the Western world will definitely make a comeback. At that time, the Chinese empire will be under great pressure. Trouble the French in the spell colony of Indochina would prevent the French from pointing the finger at the Empire. At the same time, it would also allow the Vietnamese to consume the strength of the French, creating conditions for the empire to enter Indochina in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Admiral Chen Xudong nodded.

After General Chen Xudong left, Wu Haoxuan's eyes fell on the world map that Qiangshang hung largely. The territory of the empire was now very extensive, stretching from Siberia in the north to the East Indies in the south. From the Ryukyu Islands in the east to the Pamirs in the west. If you look at the territorial area, the empire is definitely the largest empire in the world. Of course, this is far from the limit of imperial expansion. (To be continued.) )
