Since 1824, British colonists have launched wars invading Myanmar many times and occupied a large swathe of Myanmar territory. In March 1824, British colonists launched the first British-Burma War on Myanmar under the pretext of the Manipo and Assamir incidents.
, and won victory. In February 1826, the Burmese King Meng forced the Yang Duanpo Treaty of cede land and compensation for unequal compensation, and then opened the Myanmar portal to occupy the Rakhine and Delindayi regions and placed it in British India.
Under the direct management of the Governor, the Second Anglo-Burma War was launched in April 1852. In about half a year, it invaded Myanmar, occupied Bogu and Motama, and incorporated the Motama area into Delindayi.
Bogu was directly managed by the British-Indian Governor. In this way, with the Rakhine occupied after the First British-Burma War, a total of three commissioners were managing the area occupied by Myanmar by Britain. In 1862, the United Kingdom revised the
This "dividing" policy has been implemented in unification on the occupied Myanmar territory, merged Rukai, Bogu, Delindayi and other places to unify administrative management, and called the "British Burma Province".
In 1885 (the eleventh year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty): Britain sent troops to conquer Myanmar for the third time and occupied Mandalay. Then, the Shan State northward occupied the entire Myanmar, and incorporated all its territory into India under the British Empire, becoming British India.
A province in which the chief commissioner of Myanmar Province was appointed by the British Governor of India. The Qing government of China ordered the ambassador to Britain to protest against the ineffectiveness. In 1886 (June 12th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty): China was forced to sign the "China-British" with the United Kingdom.
The Treaty of Myanmar stipulates that China recognizes that Britain has control over Myanmar, but Myanmar still follows the usual rules of the past, tribute every ten years. As for the Sino-Myanmar border, it should be negotiated and investigated by the two countries. It recognizes Britain's colonization of Myanmar.
rule.
Since then, Myanmar has been incorporated into India and has become a province in India.
In order to prevent China's attack, since the declaration of war between China and Britain, Britain has deployed more than 20,000 British troops and more than 50,000 colonial troops in the border areas. As a result, during the battle on April 7, the more than 70,000 troops were
After being defeated by the Chinese team, it was vulnerable. After being wiped out most of the time, the British team and colonial troops began to flee to the hinterland of southern Myanmar. Many colonial troops even fled directly during the escape.
No longer working for the British.
At this time, the deployment of the Military Intelligence Agency in Myanmar also began to play a role. Many ethnic minorities in Myanmar welcomed China's entry into Myanmar because China claimed to help Myanmar drive away British colonists. China has always been
The Myanmar's suzerain country, the Burmese people naturally believe in China more. These Myanmar ethnic minorities provide guidance for the Chinese team, transport supplies, sell food to the Chinese team at a low price, and even organize the army to fight with the Chinese team.
Wait. This great environment has brought the pressure faced by the Chinese team. It has created great convenience for the Chinese team to defeat the British army.
French Indochina, also known as French Eastern Ocean, is part of the French colony in Southeast Asia and implements a federal system. Its composition includes the three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and its capital is located in Saigon in the Mekong Delta.
Alessandro, a French Jesuit missionary, had already entered Vietnam to preach as early as the 17th century, so France had already had a certain influence on Vietnam since then. At that time, Vietnam had just occupied the Mekong Delta, the former territory of the city of Champa.[
1] Europe's interaction with Vietnam in the 18th century was limited to trade activities. In 1787, French Catholic priest Baidolu sent a request to the French government to assist Nguyen Phuc Ying in regaining the territory seized by Xishan Dynasty. Baidolu finally died in Vietnam,
His troops continued to assist until France officially assisted Nguyen Phuc Ying in 1802.
In the 19th century, France had a profound influence on Vietnam. France often interfered in Vietnamese affairs under the pretext of protecting priests from foreign missionaries in Paris. The Nguyen Dynasty gradually realized the political threats of Catholic missionaries to themselves. For example, in the Nguyen Dynasty,
Influential socialites are worried that their social status will be shaken by Catholics who insist on monogamy.
In 1857, French diplomat Mintni asked the Vietnamese government to stop expelling priests and grant them freedom to preach doctrine, but failed. In September of the following year, the French army, under the order of Napoleon III, used 14 gunboats and 3,000 French troops.
Soldiers, 300 Philippine soldiers provided by Spain, attacked Da Nang, gave heavy blows to the other side, and successfully occupied the port. France demanded the establishment of a consulate and other units in Da Nang, but was rejected by the Vietnamese government, so France occupied Da Nang. In 1861
France occupied Saigon, six years later, and renamed it Jiaozhichina. In order to possess the sovereignty of the entire Vietnam, France broke out in the Sino-French war with China, and occupied central Vietnam from 1883 to 1885.
In the north and Cambodia, central Vietnam was renamed Annan and the north to Tokyo. In 1885, China and France signed the Treaty of Tianjin, and China officially gave up Vietnam's sovereignty. In October 1887, the French Indochina Federation was officially established. Then in 1893
During the French-Siam War, Laos was also included in the French Indochina Federation. Although France had the actual rule of the Indochina Peninsula, the royal families of the previous kingdoms were still retained as puppets. In a period of the late 19th century
During the time, several wars against French colonial rule broke out in French Indochina, but they were all suppressed by French rulers.
The French Indochina colony is the most important colony of France in Asia and the world. China's rise poses a great threat to the French Indochina colony. China has been the sovereign ruler of this region for thousands of years.
.So, France tried every means to stop China's rise. However, it all failed.
After France declared war on China, the French Indochina colonial army gathered in the border areas. Although they had a large number of troops, their combat power was very garbage. In particular, the colonial army formed in the name of the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnam, even more
Vulnerable. In the battle between Lang Son and Mong Street, they were easily defeated by the Chinese team. The French team and the Indochina colonial army, which suffered heavy losses, had to retreat south.
Overall, although France had many troops in the French Indochina colony, it could not resist the attack of the Chinese team. It was only a matter of time before it was lost.
On the morning of April 8, it was just dawn. A fleet of two huge battleships, two slightly smaller heavy cruisers, as well as several light cruisers and destroyers entered the Strait of Malacca from the South China Sea and drove directly into the Strait of Malacca.
The Fleet was the fleet that escorted the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps. The 5th Brigade of the Marine Corps was on more than 50 transport ships, and was guarded by the warships in the middle and entered the Singapore Strait.
The General Staff ordered that before 10 a.m. this morning, the 5th Marine Corps Brigade would launch an attack on Singapore and conquer this important town in the Nanyang region.
Singapore's strategic location is very important. It guards the eastern side of the Strait of Malacca and is also a natural good harbor. It is the most important ruling center and naval base of the British in the South China Sea. The Governor's Office of the British Straits Colony is located here. Conquering this place can be effective.
The determination of China's rule over the Nanyang region will also be of great help to face the revenge of the British Navy in the future. If the British Navy wants to expedition to China from Europe 20,000 kilometers away and lose Singapore, it will be
The supply base has been lost. At that time, the Chinese Navy can wait for the effort to fight against the British Navy in the South China Sea.
"Governor General, the Chinese are here! Our people have discovered the Chinese fleet outside the strait. There are hundreds of ships, most of which are transport ships. The Chinese are preparing to capture Singapore in one fell swoop!" A British major general
, rushed into the Governor's Mansion of the Straits Colony with a panic look on his face.
"The Chinese are fighting? Damn, do they want to conquer Singapore first?" A hint of fear flashed across his face as the current governor of the Straits Colony. After the Far East Fleet was annihilated, he knew that the day was soon
It will come, but unexpectedly, this day finally came.
"Governor General, what should we do now?" asked the major general. He was Boris, the commander of the British army in the Straits Colony, and was responsible for commanding more than 10,000 British troops and more than 20,000 indigenous troops in the Straits Colony.
"What else can I do? The Prime Minister has issued an order to keep Singapore. The fleet will arrive soon. If Singapore is lost and there is no supply base, it will be under great threat!" Rui, the governor of the Straits Colony.
Sir Tianxian said.
A hint of panic flashed in Major General Boris's eyes. He had learned that the battle between Myanmar and Vietnam, and the British and French teams suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese team. Now he stopped, only three regiments were left.
, just over 7,000 people, how can they resist the attack of the Zhongxun team? Even if the attacking Zhongxun team only has one brigade, it does not have any advantage in terms of troops or equipment! Singapore's
Although the coastal defense fortifications are strong, they cannot withstand the fierce bombardment of the powerful battleships of the Chinese Navy.
"Governor, I will try my best to defend Singapore. However, if things cannot be done, please consider the lives of most people!" Major General Boris said.
Sir Rui Tianxian, the governor of the Straits colony, was silent for two minutes, and then nodded. Although he wanted to defend Singapore and not become the second British governor to be captured, if things were not done, he had to surrender. After all,
The many British people in Singapore should not die in this damn war.
At 9 a.m., the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, under the protection of the fleet, arrived outside Singapore. (To be continued.)
