"Hey, if you have something to say, get up, get up quickly!" Hong Tao asked the guards to help Ye Chengxiang sit up and sit up, and then said: "Tell me, what is going on?"
However, just a few minutes after Ye Chengxiang spoke, Hong Tao's face became a little ugly. He asked Ye Chengxiang to stop first, and then said to a guard behind him: "Go and ask General Deng and General Wang to come over.
Just say it’s very important.”
Just as the guard was about to leave, Hong Tao stopped him again and said, "Find Jiang Fan and Zhong Huai as well and let them listen."
Ten minutes later, Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and four other people arrived. After Hong Tao made a brief introduction, he said to Ye Chengxiang: "Tell me from the beginning."
"Yes! Eight years ago..."
As Ye Chengxiang talked about it, a tragedy that was even worse than the "Red Creek Massacre" caused by the Dutch in Batavia appeared in front of the three people.
During the Tay Son Uprising, not only the people of Annam were deeply involved, but also the Chinese businessmen who settled or lived in Vietnam were deeply involved in this vortex. Due to their different perceptions and circumstances, or their personal
Due to their interests, they chose the new Ruan and the old Ruan respectively, and played different roles in them.
In 1773, a Fujian Chinese businessman named Li Cai in Guangnan organized a group of people called the "Heyi Army" to defect to the Xishan Army. This team was mainly composed of Cantonese. Because of their clan blood relations,
The fighting power is very strong. The addition of the Chinese army gave the Tay Son camp even greater strength. The new Nguyen forces quickly moved north from Quy Nhon and expanded to the ruling center of the old Nguyen. In the process, the "He Yi Army" and another Chinese armed force, the "Loyal Yi Army"
It played a decisive role in the Xishan Army's victory in the key battle.
However, as the military exploits increased, the conflict between Li Cai and Nguyen Wen Yue, the first emperor of the Western Son Dynasty, became irreconcilable. Two years later, the two sides finally broke out and Li Cai took the "He Yi Army" to join the old army.
The Ruan camp suddenly became an important figure in the old Ruan camp.
Unexpectedly, only one year later, Li Cai was killed because he was involved in the old Ruan's palace power struggle. The remaining "He Rebel Army" were led by Chinese Chen Feng and Chen Gongzhang respectively, and continued to stay in the old Ruan camp.
In 1782, Chen Gongzhang led the "Heyi Army" to fight against the Xishan Army at Shenliang Bridge near Jiading, killing Ruan Wenyue's escort general Fan Yan. Ruan Wenyue lost both his left and right hands, and because the "Heyi Army" were all Tang people, and Jiading was the Chinese business capital.
They supported Jiu Ruan, so they ordered their men to kill them all, regardless of whether they supported the Xishan Army or whether they were soldiers or merchants.
This massacre was known as the "Saigon Massacre" in the history of another time and space. The number of Chinese deaths exceeded 10,000. From Jiading to Chaigun, corpses were strewn across the fields. The corpses were thrown into the river by the Xishan Army, and the river was cut off. It even crossed the river.
After several months, no one dared to eat the fish and shrimp in the river.
At that time, all the goods from the Chinese merchants' homes were taken out and thrown on the road. However, no one dared to pick up these blood-stained things. In the second year, because the Chinese merchants in Jiading were dead and no one was selling the goods, the crude tea had increased to one pound or eight thousand dollars.
, a needle costs one hundred dollars.
"The villain's eldest brother and his family of four were all killed by Xishan soldiers and thrown into the river. Because all the Chinese businessmen in the city were dead, the villain and his father did not know about it until several months later. Although many searches were conducted, the bones of the eldest brother's family were found
It has sunk into the river and been eaten by fish and shrimp, and it is difficult to restrain it. For eight years, my father has had trouble sleeping and eating. He beats his chest and feet every time he thinks about it, and cannot sleep at night..."
Ye Chengxiang was crying loudly by the end of his speech.
After listening to Ye Chengxiang's story, Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang and Hong Tao all turned extremely ugly. It has been six years since the three of them came to this time and space. If they had heard these things in the early years, although they could not help but sympathize, they still felt a sense of sadness.
The feeling of alienation is like being separated by a thin film. As the integration with this era becomes deeper and deeper, that "thin film" is gradually peeled off. This feeling is experienced most deeply among all time-travelers. In fact, Chen
Qingsong and Hong Tao couple.
Needless to say, Chen Qingsong, he and his men have to deal with the refugees every day; and Hong Tao and his wife have been among the refugees for many years, cured countless people, and witnessed the suffering of those people. From the initial mentality of bystanders,
, and later on I felt more and more empathetic.
At this time, he took off his glasses and wiped his eye circles, lowered his head and was silent for a while, muttering in his mouth: "I don't understand what the hell, how come these days, just a cat and a dog, can kill Chinese people? What the hell is this?
!”
Although everyone here has heard about the Spanish massacre of Chinese in Luzon during the Wanli period, and the massacre of the Dutch in Batavia in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign, it is so long ago that even the anger is only the kind of people who see the historical past.
indignation.
As an eyewitness of the "Jiading Massacre", Ye Chengxiang's narration makes people feel as if they were actually there. Eight years is not that far away, not to mention that the evil Xishan regime is right in front of everyone's eyes.
Zhong Huai, who had been sighing before, now said with tears in his eyes: "It was Java in the sixth year of Qianlong, and Annan in the forty-seventh year. The court just watched its people being slaughtered?! What did the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of Guangxi do for a living?
?!"
Jiang Fan said with a sarcastic smile: "Baoqi, don't you understand today? People who leave their country and their hometown are not human in their eyes! What's more, they are Han people. I don't believe it. If ten thousand Manchus died,
, see if the Tatar Emperor is in a hurry!"
If the two of them could not bear it before when the North Navy used advanced weapons to kill the Xishan Army and left the fields littered with corpses, now they have nothing left of it, and they even regret killing very few of them.
In fact, regardless of whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, the feudal dynasties always adhered to the idea of unification and supremacy, frequently used "benevolence and righteousness to nourish the country", and regarded overseas Chinese who made a living overseas as "abandoned citizens of the Celestial Empire", showing an arrogant and ignorant attitude.
After the Spaniards massacred the Chinese in Luzon during the Wanli Period, Xu Xueju, then governor of Fujian, only sent the Spaniards a formal article titled "Report for the Retrieval of Prisoners of Luzon". Although the content in it denounced the Spaniards
"Barbarians have no conduct and are so unrighteous that they will be punished by Heaven." However, it also mentioned that "of the four Chinese people, merchants are the lowest, so how can they start a war and revolution because they are untouchables."
Seeing such an attitude of the "powerful" Ming Empire, the Spaniards naturally regarded the Chinese as pigs and dogs. Then in the first year of Kangxi, they massacred Chinese businessmen again on a large scale. More than 50,000 people died before and after the two massacres.
After the "Hongxi Massacre" occurred in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign, it was not until July of the following year that the Fujian Navy admiral learned about it after interrogating the merchant ships returning from Java. However, whether it was those officials who proposed banning Southeast Asian trade or
Opponents are all hostile to overseas Chinese, and no one has considered the interests of the more than 10,000 Chinese who died.
Two years after the incident, after repeated discussions between the Council of Ministers and the governors of various regions, the Qing government finally adopted the opinions of Qingfu, the then Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Depei, the Governor of Liangjiang, and believed that the Chinese killed in the "Hongxi Massacre" were self-abandonments.
Foreigners, and the Dutch had "a heart of remorse and fear", allowing them to continue trading as usual, and spread the emperor's moral education to the whole world.
As for the "Jiading Massacre", there is no record at all in all the historical materials of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in another time and space. There is no word at all. Considering the urine of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, if everything is not dealt with, if the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi or the governor of Guangxi hears about this
If something happens, a memorial will definitely be issued.
It can be said with certainty that the Xishan Dynasty tried their best to conceal the massacre after it occurred, so it did not reach the ears of the Manchu emperors and ministers.
In the history of another time and space, the "Jiading Massacre" did not appear in the official historical materials compiled by Annan until more than 40 years later. In the "Summary of the National Dynasty" compiled by the Nguyen Dynasty National History Museum, 92 words were used
A simple summary; in "Jiading Tongzhi", 150 words are used, which is the most complete description.
The air in the conference room became increasingly dull. Except for Ye Chengxiang, who was sobbing, everyone else was silent and their faces were so gloomy that they could drip water.
Whether it is Deng Fei or the other three, or Jiang Fan and Zhong Huai, everyone understands that the Beihai Navy must seek justice for Hua from Annan and must not spare the Xishan Dynasty easily.
"Mr. Ye, we have to discuss this matter. I will give you an answer later. You may need your cooperation then."
Ye Chengxiang adjusted his sleeves, bowed to the ground again, and said: "Before I leave, my father has said that as long as I can avenge my eldest brother's family, the Ye family is willing to provide money and food to help. It will be a shame."
Deng Fei nodded, and first asked the guards to arrange a cabin for Ye Chengxiang and his two men, and then took them out to eat and rest.
After Ye Chengxiang left, Hong Tao spoke first: "Tell me, what's the next step?"
"The Marine Corps and the special operations battalion are ready and can land at any time." At this moment, Wang Yuanfang could not wait to send troops to land immediately and bloodbath Hue.
Jiang Fan stood up and said: "Jiang is not talented. Please let me write the revolt." This man had only been in the Northern Navy for a few months, but he still spoke like a scholar.
Deng Fei said in a deep voice: "Don't worry. There are two options in this matter. One is to take revenge, and then we go south to Java to settle the accounts with the Dutch. The other is to completely eliminate the Ruan Quang Binh regime and give an explanation to the Chinese who died. The former is relatively
Easy, the latter is much more complicated. We must think it over carefully before contacting Zhao Xin."
Hong Tao asked: "How to say?"
Deng Fei said: "It's not easy for us to go south, and we don't have many troops with us, so we can't carry out long-term large-scale operations..."
Hong Tao grabbed Bai and said: "You can let Zhao Xin..."
Deng Fei raised his hand to interrupt him, and said to Jiang Fan and Zhong Huai in a commanding tone: "Sorry, you two go and do your work first."
Although Jiang Fan and Zhong Huai were unwilling, they had now joined the Northern Navy and had to obey orders, so they had no choice but to salute and leave.
Deng Fei waited for the two people to leave, closed the door, and then sat down and said: "Doctor Hong, of course I understand, but what I just said is only one of them. It is easy to dispatch the Thunder and other ships to move the troops south, but it is inevitable
It will evolve into a protracted war. Don’t forget, this is a war to destroy the country!”
Hong Tao didn't understand military affairs. In his eyes, he only saw the Beihai Navy's invincibility over the years, so he scratched his head and said: "So what? In front of our weapons, the Xishan Army is nothing. We will crush him to death in minutes!"
After listening to Deng Fei's explanation, Wang Yuanfang calmed down from his previous anger. He slowly shook his head and said: "Xiaohong, you don't know, our current front is too long, thousands of kilometers away from the north and the south.
It’s so far away that it can be said to be thousands of miles away.”
He then explained one by one with his fingers, and then Hong Tao realized how big Bei Haijun's stall was now.
The military organization of the Northern Navy follows the example of later generations and adopts the three-three system. A regiment is composed of three battalions. Counting logistics and communications personnel, the total number is 2,700. At present, the Northern Navy has a total of fifteen regiments, plus
The recruits who have just completed their training, the training headquarters, the prisoner of war management camp, the logistics equipment, the staff department and the navy's marine battalion have reached a total strength of more than 55,000.
The first is Siberia. At present, Zhao Xin leads three regiments and one battalion to guard the Yenisei River defense line. Liu Sheng and Fan Tong only have two regiments and one battalion to deal with Outer Mongolia in the south; there is also a battalion guarding Ya
Kutsk to control the roads leading to Okhotsk and Kamchatka; there are also two battalions stationed in Nerchinsk to Ulan-Ude and other places.
Next is the Outer Northeast. Yaksa is currently a regiment, responsible for guarding prisoners of war; Heilongjiang City currently has two battalions, responsible for watching the Qing troops in the direction of Mergen and Qiqihar; Ningguta, Dashiwula and Hunchun are all released together
The six regiments had to keep an eye on the tens of thousands of Qing troops in Jilin and the Li Dynasty; in addition, there were troops stationed in Sanxingcheng, Khabarovsk, and even the fishing village of Vladivostok.
In addition, Minami Kyushu has deployed a garrison regiment, whose main task is to guard the Hisikari gold mine, and to guard against surrounding vassals, even the Sendai vassal. There are not many troops on Jeju Island, only one company; while on Ryukyu, once
After the Shimazu family is dealt with and the Sakishima Islands are obtained, at least one group must be released.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Yuanfang finally said: "I am in charge of the training of new recruits. The 10,000 recruits recruited in the summer have just completed basic training and are all preparing to go south to Outer Mongolia next year.
. Our soldiers are trained for the cold climate environment in the north and have no experience in fighting in the southern mountains. Even the special operations battalion was brought here to explore and test. Based on my experience, once so many northerners are
When we suddenly come to the south, regardless of how we fight, it is very easy for us to suffer large-scale non-combat attrition."
Deng Fei agreed: "It is easy to conquer Hue City, but if the Xishan Army hides in the mountains in the north to fight guerrillas with us, it will be very troublesome if the logistics cannot keep up."
Hong Tao nodded helplessly after hearing this. Indeed, when so many northerners go south, the first problem they encounter is diseases caused by unaccustomed eating habits.
"Then what's your opinion?"
Deng Fei said: "Didn't that Ye Chengxiang say that he is willing to provide money and food? These are not problems for us. Why not let him help recruit local Chinese organizations to arm us."
Wang Yuanfang said: "You can send the teaching team south and let these people practice while fighting."
Hong Tao said: "Does it also require a piece of land?"
Deng Fei smiled and said: "What do you think of Hoi An City? The Chinese base camp."
After a heated discussion between the three, they asked Jiang Fan and Zhong Huai to help draft a written plan that night, and contacted Zhao Xin early the next morning. Because there was too much text, Deng Fei simply wrote it word for word.
Read it once.
Zhao Xin, who was far away in Yeniseisk, listened and took notes. It took him more than an hour to listen to them all. He did not reply immediately, but asked Deng Fei to wait for news.
In fact, Zhao Xin was also surprised. He did not understand many historical details of Annan. Originally, he only wanted to deal with the Xishan pirates and teach the Xishan Dynasty a lesson, and then go to Batavia to seek justice for the Chinese in the "Red Creek Massacre"
, I didn’t expect that there would be a “Jiading Massacre” here in Annan!
This is no longer as simple as teaching Nguyen Quang Binh a lesson. The Tay Son Dynasty must be completely defeated, and at the same time, accountability for the massacre that year must be held accountable, so as to deter South Asian countries and colonial forces.
In order to make himself less impulsive, Zhao Xin ran outside the house and stood in the heavy snow, smoking a cigarette and thinking over and over again. In the end, he felt that it was difficult to explain the matter clearly in a few words in the telegram, and since Deng Fei and the others wanted to go to Hoi An,
To recruit Chinese soldiers, weapons, ammunition and military uniforms must be prepared. So at noon, he contacted Deng Fei and Wang Yuanfang again.
"Given you three days, can you capture Hue?"
Wang Yuanfang on the other end pondered for a moment and said: "It's not a big problem."
"Okay, I'll give you five days. We'll see you in the Imperial City of Hue in five days!"
