Chapter 412 Protest

The situation of war changes with the development of social productivity and civilization. When the original geographical and environmental advantages are useless in the face of powerful soldiers and crushing weapons and equipment, the pace of war will become faster and faster.

The moment the responses from the peninsula countries reached the hands of the war zone governor, the war began.

On the third day of March in the fourth year of the Huaxia Era, at the beginning of the Shenshi period before nightfall, the army under Zhou Li, the army under Zhang Shi, and the navy under Liu Deyi launched a brazen attack on Ailao and Annan.

At the last moment, before the Zheng family in Annan could react, Zhou Li's vanguard of 3,000 armored soldiers arrived at Thang Long and forcefully demanded that Zheng Zheng open the city.

Lord Zheng ordered thirty carts of wine, meat and food to be sent out of the city to reward the army, but he was refused. Lord Zheng did not dare to stop him, so he rushed into the city first and occupied the key points at the city gate.

Half an hour later, the main force of Zhou Li's army arrived.

"Call the master of the Zheng family to see this governor."

As soon as Zhou Li arrived, he immediately summoned Lord Zheng.

Lord Zheng left the city tremblingly and saw Zhou Li in a temporary military camp outside the city.

Zhou Li said: "The Ruan family is a traitor who disobeys the emperor's edict and wants to kill the envoys who pass it on. This is a great treason and immoral act. The governor of this city, Zhou Li, was ordered by the emperor to take advantage of the Zheng family to attack the Ruan family, destroy his army and break up his country." , take the traitor’s head and kill him to set the record straight!”

Master Zheng trembled all over and bowed: "The Ruan family does not respect the sect leader, so it is appropriate to attack him. The general has a mighty army, and the foreign ministers dare not have any second thoughts. Please give the general a clear warning. If the general needs it, the foreign ministers can All accepted."

"Okay." Zhou Li patted Lord Zheng on the shoulder: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Lord Zheng has no delusions about using a mantis' arm as a chariot, so I praise you for that."

As he said that, Zhou Li looked up at Shenglong, who looked like a mere county town, and said, "If a mantis's arms were used as a chariot, Shenglong would no longer exist at this time."

Then he said: "I am going to send troops south immediately. Shenglong is at the rear of the army and has to be guarded. In response to the emperor's edict, three thousand troops are stationed in the city. Lord Zheng does not have to worry. Logistics and slave labor camps are coming one after another. Master Zheng just needs to cooperate with the reception and arrangements. Everything else remains as usual."

"Yes, General!"

Zhou Li stationed an elite force at Shenglong to suppress the Zheng family, and then sent troops south overnight to attack the Nguyen family in Thanh Hua!

Lord Ruan issued an edict to gather troops during the day, but it took one day, and the troops from various places did not arrive. I was restless and restless at night, so I went out of the house, looked at the moon and sighed.

Ask around: "How long has it been?"

"It's time to be ugly." Zuo Zuo replied.

"Is it time to be ugly?" Lord Ruan sighed: "I wonder how the Xia Kingdom will react. Huh..."

While I was sighing, I suddenly heard bursts of thunder from the north, like a howling wind, and the whine resounded throughout the night sky. He was suddenly startled, looked in the direction of the thunder, and couldn't help but said: "That's..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground shook!

Lord Ruan's heart was beating wildly and he shouted: "Come here! Come here!"

Before it settled down, there was another thunder and vibration, and a moment later the ground shook again!

In an instant, the clear water turned into hot water!

In the middle of the ugly hour, Zhou Li led his troops to arrive twenty miles outside Qinghua. They formed an artillery formation and bombarded Qinghua for half an hour. After the bombardment stopped, the soldiers attacked directly. When they arrived outside Qinghua City, they saw ruins!

At the same time, Zhang Shizheng led his ministers to drive straight down and attack everything in Ailao.

Liu Deyi's navy had already launched a landing battle against Champa at the southern end of the east.

By daybreak, many messages had reached the capital.

Ying Yi looked at it and said with a smile: "The first battle went well. Annan, Ailao and Champa have lost their leaders."

With that said, he handed the battle report to the female officer, who handed it out to all the ministers to watch one by one.

"... Lord Zheng has been banned, Lord Ruan is dead, the Lord of Ailao has been crowned, and the Lord of Champa has surrendered. The countries in the eastern part of the peninsula, except for one Zhenla, are no longer a concern. At most half a month, the countries in the east of the peninsula have All can be pacified. The Pastoral Council and the Imperial Court must follow up in a timely manner without any omissions."

When Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Wen heard this, they both stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Ying Yi nodded and said: "Build the road first, and do the rest slowly. As for Lord Zheng...since he has complied with the imperial edict, don't touch him for the time being."

"Here."

"On the other hand, the war on the peninsula will definitely cause a backlash from the Western and Western barbarians. Here we must pay attention to the fact that the military aircraft government must be careful in its approach and be tough without damaging the exchanges with the Western and Western barbarians."

After a pause, Ying Yi continued: "The Military Aircraft Office also needs to make long-term plans to recover the Nanyang Islands and the continent south of the islands."

Confusing the South Vietnam Peninsula is only the first stage of Ying Yi's strategy in the south. The Nanyang Islands and the mainland Australia to the south of the islands are also Ying Yi's dishes.

However, it will take some time to integrate the Islands and Australia. There’s no rush yet. However, the Military Government must prepare for a rainy day.

Ying Yi and Manchu were not worried about the outcome of the war. If Daxia's military strength and productivity were strong, and there were still setbacks, the three governors who participated in the war should come to the capital to apologize.

Although the South Vietnam Peninsula is not small, it is well prepared and moves quickly. It should be easier than the battle against Yingzhou.

After all, at this time, the entire army has become popularized. With such fighting power, the South Vietnamese countries are nothing more than chickens and dogs.

No matter what the strategy or connection is, it's all just eggs and not worth mentioning.

The ensuing battle did not go as Ying Yi expected. In only ten days, all the countries in the eastern part of the South Vietnam Peninsula, including Zhenla and Nanzhang, were defeated one by one.

Only then did the opposition from Burma, Siam and other European countries reach Ying Yi's ears.

The highways built by the slave labor camps starting from Zhennanguan and Nanwuguan have reached Qinghua and Vientiane.

Two days later, on March 15th, the envoys from the European countries met with the emperor at the court meeting.

"Dear Son of Great Xia, we protest against your country's sending troops to the South Vietnam Peninsula. This has destroyed the friendship between your country and us. During the war, our missionaries, immigrants and businessmen were killed by your army. To be injured and detained is uncalled for.”

Protest ghostwriter Sir Maxi from Spain bowed and said: "We have developed in the South Vietnam Peninsula for nearly a hundred years and have great interests. Our friendship with your country should not be destroyed because of the South Vietnam Peninsula. We ask your country Pull back your troops and stop the senseless war."

Ying Yi looked at these envoys from a high position and was speechless.

Huang Zongxi from the Ministry of Rites came out and said, "This is wrong."

He said: "The South Vietnam Peninsula has been a vassal state of the Xia Dynasty since ancient times. The empire's war against the South Vietnam Peninsula is an internal matter of the empire and has nothing to do with the European countries. The friendship between the empire and the European countries will not be affected. Influence."

Sir Maxi sighed secretly and said: "We have concessions in all countries on the peninsula and have the right to free trade. After your country has calmed down the disputes on the South Vietnam Peninsula, how will you treat us?"

Huang Zongxi said: "Of course, the treaty signed before will be the guideline."

Sir Maxi said: "No, no, no, the agreement we signed was before your country sent troops to the South Vietnam Peninsula. Before that, we already had corresponding powers in the South Vietnam Peninsula."

"The peninsular countries are the inherent sphere of influence of the empire. The power acquired by the European countries in the South Vietnam Peninsula before the signing of the treaty was not allowed by Daxia, which is against the law." Huang Zongxi said bluntly.
