Chapter 411 Reaction

At this time, in the military towns on the border between Yunnan and Guangxi, hundreds of thousands of people in the Zhang Shi and Zhou Li war zones were intensively preparing for war.

Ying Yi did not place his hopes on an edict. The countries on the South Vietnam Peninsula have always been vassal states when China was strong. However, once China weakened slightly, they used their geographical advantages to resist or even initiate war.

There are white-eyed wolves on the left and right, and everything written and spoken is false.

War is inevitable. Regardless of whether the peninsula countries comply with the edict or not, Daxia's established strategy will not change in any way.

"The primary target of our war zone is Ailao." Zhang Shi gathered at Nanwu Xinguan on the border of Menggen Mansion, where Zhang Shi's war zone was stationed, and in the Governor's Mansion, where officers at the general level of the war zone gathered together.

Zhang Shi was dressed in military uniform, with a stone-like resolute face and eyes as bright as lightning. He pointed at the map hanging on the wall and said: "Ailao is also called Laos, bordering Annan to the east and Siam to the west. It only has 30,000 troops. There are only a million people, so it is easy to attack. However, if our troops attack directly, Siam and the southern arm of Ailao will not sit idly by. Even Burma will not just watch Ailao be destroyed. Therefore, our responsibilities are important. . In addition to cooperating with Zhou Dudu’s war zone to attack Annan, we must also guard against Siam, Nanzhang and Burma.”

"The specific tactics will be determined accordingly."

For Zhang Shi's men, their first goal was Ailao. Then cooperate with Zhou Liquan to take the eastern part of the South Vietnam Peninsula, including the Zheng family, Ruan family, Wu family in Annan, as well as Champa, Zhenla, and Nanzhang. Siam and other central and western countries are not among the targets of the first stage.

There are three theaters participating in this battle. In addition to the two army theaters of Zhang Shi and Zhou Li, there is also a naval theater to cooperate with them.

The target of the first stage is the east, so the countries in the central and western regions must be prepared.

And this kind of defense does not clearly require it to be defense. If you have the chance and have the energy to spare, it doesn't hurt to strike. Extremely flexible.

Within the humanitarian scope of Daxia, the military version of the humanitarian communication system communicates with each other in a timely manner. Outside the humanitarian scope of Daxia, there is also a military Yuanqi communication system to communicate, which can achieve timely communication without any errors or omissions.

The specific tactics of the three theaters participating in the war are closely connected with each other. Any changes during the war can be accurately and timely implemented without any omissions.

Under this intense pressure, the countries on the South Vietnam Peninsula have already felt the pressure of the coming storm. In just half a month, they became connected to each other.

The time the empire gave them was only half a month.

Annan Shenglong, Zheng's administrative office. When half a month was up, the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to announce the edict led a group of armored soldiers to look for Lord Zheng. They ignored the obstruction of Zheng's soldiers and ran rampant until they saw Lord Zheng with a livid complexion.

"The time has come, how will Lord Zheng respond?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites is young and has a scholarly temperament as gentle as jade. But his tone was very tough, not giving Master Zheng any face at all.

Lord Zheng snorted: "In the Great Xia Dynasty, the emperor has made things difficult for others, so why do you want to station troops in our country? China has always been a country of etiquette..."

"Annan is a vassal of Daxia, and there are frequent civil wars. The emperor shows mercy to the people, which is a great mercy. Why does Lord Zheng disrespect him? To disrespect the emperor is to be treasonous. Can Lord Zheng bear the responsibility for the crime?!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites said seriously.

"Presumptuous!" A person next to Lord Zheng shouted: "You are just a small official, why do you shout in front of my Lord?!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled faintly: "Annan is the country of Chuo'er. Daxia is the kingdom of Heaven. Although I am only a small official in the Ministry of Rites, I am bathed in the status of kings of Xia and consider myself not inferior to others."

Then his eyes were sharp: "Why did Lord Zheng make a choice?!"

Master Zheng felt awe-struck in his heart and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Can you please Sir, please wait for a moment?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said: "Why not? Lord Zheng, please remember that today is the last day."

Then he flicked his sleeves, bowed slightly, turned around and walked away.

When I went out, the door behind me slammed shut, and I heard a burst of crackling noises. The official of the Ministry of Etiquette smiled faintly, shrugged off his words, and walked away.

In the house, Master Zheng smashed everything that could be seen and moved to the floor. Suppression shouted: "Hateful! Hateful!"

After a long time, he sat down slumped and said, "Call the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to come see me."

Soon, I met the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. In the evening, I met the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Daxia to answer the imperial edict.

As expected by Ying Yi, Annan's Zheng family responded to the imperial edict and accepted Daxia's request to garrison troops. But Ailao did not.

Ailao is larger than Zheng's territory and has more room for maneuver. The ruler of the country was so arrogant that he wanted to capture the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had promulgated the imperial edict. Unfortunately, not only was it not captured, but officials from the Ministry of Rites and their fifty armored soldiers penetrated the capital and left in a swaggering manner.

In Thanh Hoa, Lord Nguyen did the same. But it's the same ending.

On the city wall, looking at the edict officials walking away in a grand manner, Lord Ruan's face turned pale: "How can the Xia Kingdom be so tyrannical? Just a civil servant from the Ministry of Rites, but he killed hundreds of my people?! Fifty armored soldiers and five thousand people can't stop me. ?!”

Looking back, the city was a mess and bloody.

"It's over."

Lord Ruan felt cold in his heart.

But the ants still live in vain, let alone the master of the Ruan family? He quickly calmed down and said: "Whoever comes, quickly gather troops and horses with me, the Xia Kingdom will not give up!"

Then he said: "I want to see the priest Alexander, please ask him to come to see me immediately!"

The Nguyen Lord of Annan gathered his troops and summoned the missionary Alexander Rhodes. Alexander was a French missionary who preached in Annan in his early years. This person was extraordinary. He combined Latin with Latin to create a new script for Annan, which in the original history replaced the Chinese characters and the Nom character.

Lord Ruan soon saw Alexander and told what had happened, saying: "The Xia Kingdom wants to garrison our country, but their intentions are evil. I refuse, but I am afraid that the Xia soldiers will invade. Please teach me, priest Alexander."

When Alexander heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought about it secretly for a moment and said, "Master Ruan, don't panic. I want to think about this matter. I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Lord Ruan sent Alexander away anxiously and began to prepare his troops.

Alexander returned to the church, summoned all his missionaries, and said: "The Great Xia Kingdom in the north is probably going to start a war on the peninsula. The Xia Kingdom is extremely powerful, but the Xia Kingdom is also extremely xenophobic. All our missionaries there have already The army was annihilated or even degenerated. If the Xia Kingdom occupied the peninsula, our fate would be the same. So what should we do?"

"There is no other way." A missionary said: "Our power here is insignificant. Even the princes of Annan actually don't take us seriously, let alone the Xia Kingdom?"

"so what should I do now?"

"The only plan now is to let the news out first. Look at the reactions of Batavia and Manila. Xia's occupation of the peninsula also infringes on the interests of Spain and other countries. Here, their power is stronger than ours, France. many."

"That's it. I'll go see Lord Ruan tomorrow. Tell him that we will help him and strengthen his determination to resist."
