The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

v3 Chapter 45: defeat the enemies of civilization

【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

Forget about armed preaching, after all, Chenla is too far away from the Austrian Empire.

Furthermore, due to the importance of Siam's geographical location, many powers have their own interests here. If Austria wants to blatantly monopolize this place, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in some countries.

Not to mention that the Yuan Army, Ming Army, and later the American Army were all planted in Vietnam, another Asian power graveyard, so Franz did not want to follow in his footsteps.

But the idea of ​​forcing the other party to cede land and pay compensation, and conduct dumping trade is still a good idea. Because even if the Austrians don't do it, the French will end in person.

Rather than letting the latter take advantage of it, it is better to take it directly. Of course, as long as the land in Vietnam is not intended to be occupied for a long time, it is not very difficult to fight.

The Vietnam Corridor is long and narrow, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and three-quarters of the territory is occupied by mountains. Among them, the mountains and plateaus are distributed in the north and northwest, and the Changshan Mountains in the middle run through the north and south.

The plains are mainly concentrated on the eastern coast, where the terrain is low and flat, and the river network is densely covered, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture.

This is also an important reason why neither the powerful Ming Dynasty nor the descendants of the invincible Genghis Khan were able to conquer Vietnam in history. Its narrow and long land, complex terrain, harsh climate and other unfavorable factors all caused headaches for the conquerors. In the end, the supply of the army was unsustainable, and they had to return without success.

But there are exceptions, such as the French found a trick. Since attacking from land is risky, choose to attack Vietnam from sea. In this way, it can hit its weak abdomen and change from passive to active.

Vietnam has two most economically developed and densely populated areas, one is the Red River Delta Plain in the north, and the other is the Jiulong River Plain in the south. The Jiulong River is connected to the Mekong River in Chenla. This created good conditions for the Austrian invasion.

The enemy's navy is so weak that it is completely unable to control the sea. Therefore, using the absolute advantage of its own sea power to continuously harass its sea area and carry out port raids is very important to win Vietnam.

Then when its army was exhausted, it sent a large army down the Mekong River to take the Jiulong River Plain, forcing the opponent to surrender and cede land for compensation.

It may be that the heaven and the earth have the same force, or that people are unlucky and drink cold water to stuff their teeth.

Just at this time, the ignorant Vietnamese captured and executed a group of French missionaries, and his monarch Ming Mingdi unabashedly showed his dislike of Catholicism, so this gave Austria a nearly perfect start to war Excuse.

And this Vietnamese emperor through the ages was already dying of illness, and was succeeded by his son Ruan Fuwei, who was renamed "Shaozhi". This Emperor Shaozhi did not have the grand plans of his father, but his heart was higher than the sky.

He didn't even look down on what his father did in his later years, thinking that it was because Ruan Fujun became deaf in his later years that he was defeated by those high barbarians in Chenla.

As for begging for peace from the "red hair", there is no need at all, as long as he works hard, all red hair and yellow hair will tremble under Dayue's iron hooves.

Although Emperor Ming Ming had always maintained a tributary relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and still called himself "Vietnam" in his contacts with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he always regarded himself as the ruler of the "Da Nan" in private.

His biggest dream in life is to win the Central Plains. For this reason, he stationed 150,000 troops in northern Vietnam and built countless weapons and armors.

After seeing the fighting power of Huangmao and Hongmao successively, Ruan Phuc Tung lost his dream, and instead worried that the great powers would take advantage of the sea to invade his land.

Worthy of being a generation of Mingjun in Vietnam, after discovering this possibility, Ruan Fujun tried his best to try to nip this risk in the bud.

On the one hand, Nguyen Phuc Tung sent a mission composed of officials to visit France, preparing to join forces with them to fight against Britain. He even made concessions on his always sensitive missionary matters.

On the other hand, he issued an edict to lay hidden piles at the mouths of rivers in the country to reduce the risk of sea invasion.

At the same time, relevant officials were also ordered to build forts in dangerous places, and were responsible for training naval forces, and even planned to evacuate residents from coastal areas to implement sea bans.

Unfortunately, because the Western world had a very bad impression of Emperor Ming Ming and the Vietnamese, the mission was not personally received by Louis-Philippe after arriving in Paris.

A simple summary is that Vietnam once received help from the French in difficult times, but instead of repaying their kindness, they imposed heavy taxes on businessmen, and even made vicious actions of expelling ambassadors and killing missionaries.

Celebrities from all walks of life in Paris appealed to Louis-Philippe not to receive these barbarians. In fact, Kizuo hoped that France could establish a colony in Vietnam, but he couldn't afford to go against "public opinion".

And the king himself was not too concerned about the affairs in Southeast Asia, so the mission sent by Emperor Ming Ming could only return without success.

Emperor Mingming's coastal defense measures caused complaints among the people, and at the same time affected the interests of the noble officials. Coupled with the new defeat in Chenla, civil turmoil broke out in Vietnam for a while. I can't afford to be sick.

Only then did Emperor Shaozhi massacre French missionaries.

Having said that, these Frenchmen are really unlucky. They were originally employed in Paris to collect local intelligence. Before, because the Vietnamese had a very low profile, they did not realize the potential danger of this work.

But what I didn't expect was that they were caught together as soon as they landed, and they were finally executed~lightnovelpub.net~Emperor Shao Zhi didn't expect that this was an act of standing up to show his martial arts virtue, but But it became an excuse for Austria to go to war with it.

Franz also made special preparations for this war.

The news of the murder of the French missionary was already widely spread by the French church, but at this time Franz added another fire.

An article titled "Ten Hates" quickly dominated the front pages of major European media, and the author was the queen of a small country in Southeast Asia.

The seven great hatreds, kidnapping people as slaves, forcing good people into prostitution.

.....

There is nothing left to write.

The whole of Europe is amazed that there is such a barbaric and arrogant country in the world, and no one will doubt the justice of this war.

When the Austrian Empire announced that it would help Chenla in the crusade against Vietnam, the enemy of civilization, there were only a few voices of praise.

Protecting Christians, emancipating slaves, free trade, spreading civilization...any one of them can be a reason for this war, and it is a very good reason.
