C3423 South of Vietnam

The Ruan Royal Family was the last feudal dynasty of the ancient kingdom. Their fate had been decided ever since the French colonized this place. The French still hoped for this feudal dynasty to stabilize the political situation, so they could still settle for the north.

But with the development of the era, with the advancement of science and technology, with the destruction of feudal thought, sooner or later this royal clan would be swept into the trash, this tragic ending was already anticipated by them.

Weak nations naturally had the law of survival, and the key point was to be smart, to be clear about the nature of weak nations, and to be extremely vigilant against danger.

From the moment Emperor Jiaqing gave his name to Viet Nam, the Ruan Royal Family knew that the Central Plains Empire was not reliable. They had never believed in themselves.

This really was a story. During the time of the Jia Qing dynasty, King Annan, Ruan Fuying, had sent a message to the Beijing to request for the title of the Southern State of Annan.

Emperor Jiaqing was no fool. He immediately knew what this small Southern Barbaric Country was planning when he heard this name. This was it wanting the legal inheritance of the Ancient Nanyue Kingdom!

The Southern State was the first feudal government that the Han people had established in the south after Qin Shihuang. Zhao Tuo was a well-established person in the Central Plains, and he was firmly established in Hebei province!

This is Guangdong, Guangxi, Annan, Fujian... The earliest record of nation-building in these regions was the first appearance of a national civilization.

This name wasn't worth much, but the political significance behind it was too particular!

Of course, the Ruan Royal Family did not dare to fight against the Great Qing, he knew that she would not be able to defeat the Qing Dynasty.

They understood the historical pattern of the rise and fall of empires. To ask the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for the title of the SouthYue Kingdom was to ask for a basis for the law of the future.

If he could wait until the chaotic war between the warlords of the Central Plains, he could naturally expand his influence to Guangxi and Guangdong with the banner of the Southmoon Kingdom!

At that time, who knows how many prefectures and counties they would have to eat? Even if the territory had not been lost, it was not good to have millions of citizens carried away!

With a single glance, Jia Qing saw through the schemes of these Black Hats from the south. He immediately rejected their requests and then even mischievously bestowed the title of Viet Nam to the Ruan Royal Family.

This was the origin of the country's name. It was given to him by Emperor Jiaqing!

Vietnam, Vietnam, was the meaning of the south. The subtext was very clear. You, as a small country, are even more remote than the south of the ancient kingdom.

My Central Plains has no interest in taking your territory, and you can forget about taking advantage of us, so scram to the side!

The name of Viet Nam was actually a very shameful memory for the Ruan Royal Family, but it was nothing to the common people.

There are even some quick-witted Vietnamese scholars who would gloat over their fantasy 'Vietnam, Vietnam, South.' "To the people of the Central Plains, going further in would already be considered a barbaric land, let alone the southern part of the Wilderness!"

"Aiyo, this is good news!" This means that the Qing Dynasty had no interest in annexing our territory. We can continue to live a good life! '

Is this self-consoling therapy familiar? It was also the sorrow of a weak country!

However, this Ruan Ruan had only been in the royal family for a few days. Suddenly, a group of Frenchmen arrived from the south and started preaching as soon as they arrived. It was impossible for them to not preach.

Alright then, you go on and preach. In the end, a foreign priest died for no reason at all!

This time, the French had an excuse. With the bombardment of the military ships and the landing of the Marine Corps, they easily captured the Saigon and beat them until they hid in the north, not daring to resist.

These French invaders had bombed the Saigon and Da Nang Port to such an extent that the Ruan Royal Family did not have a single temper. After that, the fleet was replenished with Yang Fan and headed north. Where did the entire army go?

They all went to meet up with British Fleet in Hong Kong and fought him directly!

In the end, the Ruan Royal Family finally understood that the other side wanted to go to war with Qing Dynasty, so they casually destroyed your country and established a colony.

The sorrow of a small country! No matter how many tears he shed, they would never be able to stop flowing!

But don't underestimate the endurance of these small and weak states. The Ruan dynasty, huddled in the north, suddenly realized after a period of observation that these Frenchmen didn't seem to have the heart to wipe out their own country.

They had set up General Governor's Mansion s, but only left a few thousand troops behind. They occupied the ports, cities, rivers, then did business and collected taxes.

That's right, these Frenchmen had already snatched away the business tax, while these large nose had no interest at all towards the money and grain taxes in the vast countryside … It was the French who didn't have the manpower to infiltrate the countryside.

Ruan Dynasty one look at this is also fine, you fist big you took away the business tax, took over the big city, but the countryside is still mine!

I can still collect money and foodstuffs, and my officials can even infiltrate into the countryside.

They knew that this was actually the beginning of the deep colonization, the semi-colonization!

The French had adopted a semi-colonial mode of rule, which somewhat protected the face of the Ruan dynasty, and the fact that there had been a number of uprising forces in the north to fight against France also threatened the Ruan dynasty's foundation.

After weighing the pros and cons, these black dwarfs of Annan actually stuck their heads into the sand and became ostriches!

This world was too ugly and dirty. What should he do? It's easy, why don't you just close your eyes and see!

Ruan Dynasty learned how to keep their eyes closed and pretend to be ignorant. They were just like the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Masters who only ate and drank, as long as there were people they could bully under their feet.

Then it doesn't matter what changes he has, don't tell me anything, I can't hear anything, I can't see anything, I'm a living blind man!

But could such a life really last long?

The Great Qing was not interested in Vietnam. France was only interested in Vietnam's business interests.

Of course there is! The Chinese have already opened their bloody mouths, waiting to bite this place!

Before Xiao Hexin had arrived at the Saigon, before the handover ceremony had even started, this head of the Chinese Four Heavenly Kings who was holding onto a walking stick had already submitted his national letter to the Ruan Royal Family.

There was not a single Vietnamese name in the letter of credence, and only one name, Annan!

Immersed in the ancient script, the feudal officials sensed a hint of danger. The Chinese national letter clearly stated that they wanted to hand over all rights to the French.

After the ceremony, all of France's rights in Vietnam would belong to the Chinese, demanding that the Ruan Dynasty be calm and patient and wait for the final result of the Chinese Grand Council.

"What?" You still have to wait for the final result, which means that the Chinese have yet to make any promises and want to take power away from you? "

"This is too scary, you are even more terrifying than the French large nose!"
