readx; "President, this is a letter from King Annam!" When Lin Changzhang handed over the letter, he also explained the matter before and after. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Jingyun unfolded the letter and read it, and after a while, he put it down and said, "What is your opinion on this matter!" ā
Lin Changzhang secretly said in his heart, sure enough, he would ask what he meant, and immediately carefully considered the words and said: "According to the information obtained by the Intelligence Department in Annam over the years, this Annan Ruan family has not always been willing to be a puppet, especially the current King of Annam, Nguyen Phuc Hui, is also an ambitious person, after returning to Annam from France last year, he started a series of reform plans, and this person's ambition is absolutely not small!" ā
Chen Jingyun listened carefully, he naturally knew the situation on the Vietnamese side, and the Indochina Peninsula was actually divided into three parts, namely British Indochina, French Indochina, and Thailand, a buffer zone between the British and French colonies. The Federation of French Indochina contains many areas, Cambodia and three Vietnamese areas, namely Tokyo, Annam, and Cochinchina. In a broad sense, the name of Vietnam includes Tokyo, Annam, and Cochinchina.
The Nguyen Dynasty that sent the letter to Chen Jingyun was the feudal dynasty of Annam, and this Nguyen Dynasty was actually a veritable puppet dynasty, that is, the Hue court played its own saliva politics, which was actually just a puppet.
And people, they are all ambitious, no one wants to be a puppet for a lifetime, otherwise Nguyen Phuc Thanh would not have returned to China to be a series of reforms, it can be seen that this young king is not willing to be a puppet, and now seeing that China secretly supports the Vietnamese Reading Front, it is natural to want to get China's support.
Chen Jingyun listened to these and then asked: "I remember that Ruan Antong can also be regarded as a partial branch of the Ruan family's royal family!" ā
Lin Changzhang said: "Yes, but they have been separated by many generations, and they have been estranged in blood!" ā
If a royal family has a strong reproductive ability, there are a lot of offspring, and Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty of China created the myth of a person creating a nation.
"At present, the Vietnamese Reading Force is mainly active in the northern region of Vietnam, that is, Tokyo in the Federation of French Indochina, and we have no support object in Annam!" Chen Jingyun continued to ask.
Lin Changzhang said: "That's right, now the Vietnamese Reading Force is mainly active in the northern region of Vietnam, and we also have people in the southern part of Vietnam, that is, in Cochinchina, but it has not yet become a climate!" ā
Chen Jingyun said: "Since this is the case, then we will have more contact with Annan, but we must pay attention to distinguishing it, the Vietnamese Reading Front is on one side, and the royal family of Annam is on the other." ā
Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun was afraid that Lin Changzhang would not understand what he meant, so he immediately pointed out: "I don't want Vietnam to become a unified country in the future." ā
Although Lin Changzhang didn't understand why Chen Jingyun did this, he already understood what Chen Jingyun meant, that is, it is one thing to support Vietnam's reading ability, but it is another thing to reunify Vietnam.
He naturally didn't know that Chen Jingyun was mainly influenced by the concept of later generations, but he knew that when Vietnam was engaged in the Civil War in later generations, China supported northern Vietnam, but after the reunification of Vietnam, he immediately hugged the thigh of Soviet Russia and then clashed with China and even led to war, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him again, so some things were better planned early.
"Cambodia and Cochin should also be supported separately, don't let them connect together!" Chen Jingyun said.
Lin Changzhang said: "The president can rest assured, he understands his humble duties!" ā
After Lin Changzhang went out, Chen Jingyun also let go of the things on the Vietnamese side, and the things in Southeast Asia will not be fruitful for a while and a half, and the time it takes is calculated in ten years, and Chen Jingyun can't pay attention to this thing all day long.
After dealing with this, Chen Jingyun remembered the marriage problems of several of his older sons and daughters, and now the age of the two sons Chen Huatian and Chen Huajun and the eldest daughter Chen Wei is not too young, the age of marriage for Chinese in this era is relatively early, the legal age is sixteen years old can be married, and in fact, many girls in rural areas are more common to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Although the situation of the Chen family is somewhat special, it should not deviate too far from the secular concept, and these issues can be dealt with earlier by considering them earlier.
The next day, Chen Jingyun met Hong Zitai, Hong Zitai's spirit is much worse than in previous years, Chen Jingyun's attitude towards these old comrades is still relatively good, after all, they are all old people who started with him from the beginning.
After this chat, Chen Jingyun naturally put the conversation on his children. Obviously, Hong Zitai expected today's conversation, and in fact, his granddaughter went to the presidential palace two days ago.
Although the Hong family is already considered a wealthy family, Hong Zitai has retired for some years, although his younger brother is also in the Government Council, and his second son is also serving in the army, but as time slowly passes, when he Hong Zitai dies, then the Hong family will inevitably retire from the top wealthy class, so the necessary marriage has become an important means to protect the family's prominence.
And if you want to get married, what is better than marrying Chen Jingyun.
Although it is also important to choose to marry the Chen family, Chen Jingyun also has many sons, and judging from the current momentum, Chen Huatian and Chen Huajun are both likely to take over Chen Jingyun's class, I have to say that now Hong Zitai has chosen Chen Huatian, thinking that Chen Huatian is more likely than Chen Huajun to take over Chen Jingyun's class.
On the one hand, Chen Huatian is the eldest son, and on the other hand, Hong Zitai personally admires Chen Huatian, thinking that Chen Huatian already has a trace of Chen Jingyun's demeanor in the early years, and on the other hand, Chen Huajun, although his ability is also excellent, but Hong Zitai always thinks that his surname is a little irritable, and he has a little disregard for the influence, and he raised a woman in Wuhan at a young age, which makes some conservatives led by Hong Zitai a little disgusted. However, Hong Zitai was a little disgusted with Chen Huajun, but several high-ranking officials on the military side admired Chen Huajun very much, thinking that his decisive surname was completely a young version of Chen Jingyun, and Chen Huajun's military talent in the Korean War was much better than that of his eldest brother Chen Huatian, and he once created a record of commanding a motorized infantry battalion to defeat a wing of the Yue Army. This kind of combat feats are nothing to those famous generals in the army, but he Chen Huajun is not only an officer of the army, his small performance has been magnified a lot. However, not every high-level military officer likes Chen Huajun, Shen Gang is very uninterested in him, although Admiral Guan Shijie of the Navy claims to be an enlightened new aviation general in the navy, but his thinking is very conservative, and he also has a lot of criticism about Chen Huajun's style.
Now Hong Zitai wants to marry the Chen family and marry his granddaughter to Chen Huatian, which is already very obvious that he is optimistic about Chen Huatian.
Chen Jingyun doesn't care too much about Hong Zitai's optimism about his eldest son, the age of these two brothers has grown up, and he has deliberately cultivated himself in recent years, and it is very normal for the people below to start standing in line, as long as these standing behaviors do not touch his bottom line, then Chen Jingyun will not care too much.
After hearing Hong Zitai clearly express that he wanted the two families to marry, Chen Jingyun said: "Since you said so, I can't say anything, but the children's marriage is not easy for us elders to interfere with, let everything be natural!" ā
Chen Jingyun said this to indicate that he had no objection to this marriage, but the meaning of his words did not say that he directly supported it, let alone directly promised this marriage.
After all, this is his son's marriage, although Chen Jingyun has read a little more in other aspects, but he is still relatively open-minded about family affairs, as long as the woman's family can get by, then it depends on the wishes of his sons.
Hong Zitai's face was overjoyed when he heard Chen Jingyun say this, all he asked for was that Chen Jingyun did not object, as long as Chen Jingyun did not object, then there was great hope for this marriage, Dong Bai's side had this idea for a long time, she had long wanted to find a prominent family for her son to marry, so as to make Chen Huatian's future road smoother.
After meeting Hong Zitai, Chen Jingyun didn't take this matter to heart, and the follow-up matters will naturally be handled by Dong Bai's family. Within two days, Chen Huatian was called aside by his mother Dong Bai, and then said this, Chen Huatian listened quietly, his face expression was the same as Chen Jingyun's usual, flat and calm.
After Dong Baishi said it, Chen Huatian said: "Father, what did he say!" ā
"Your father also met Hong Lao a few days ago, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he also acquiesced! So you can go to see people with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about your father getting angry! Dong Bai said in a loving tone.
Chen Huatian didn't speak immediately, and only said after half a ring: "Everything is arranged by my mother!" ā
After a few days, Chen Huatian met the three daughters of the Hong family by coincidence, and then it was rumored that they had a very happy conversation, but Chen Huajun, who was a brother, sighed when he heard the news, and said after seeing Chen Huatian: "Compared to me, you are more like a father, but I don't know if the one from the Jin family will hate you for the rest of his life if he knows!" ā
Chen Huatian's face turned cold all of a sudden, and after a while, he said, "Then let her hate it!" ā
After saying this, Chen Huatian said again: "Don't just worry about me, worry about yourself!" ā
Hearing this, Chen Huajun suddenly thought of the woman over there in Wuhan, and then thought of the marriage arranged by the family in the future, his face also changed a little, and he didn't speak, so he just walked away.
Chen Jingyun naturally didn't know that what he acquiesced to would become like this, he didn't say that he would forcibly let these two brothers marry someone, he just didn't object to the marriage with the Hong family, if he Chen Huatian didn't want to, Chen Jingyun wouldn't force him.
Sometimes, things don't go as they should be.
It was the early winter, in December 1933 of the Western calendar, Chen Jingyun's eldest son Chen Huatian and Hong Zitai's third granddaughter Hong Ziping were officially engaged.
