C3423 South of Vietnam (1/2)

The Ruan Royal Family was the last feudal dynasty of the ancient kingdom. Their fate had been decided ever since the French colonized this place. The French still hoped for this feudal dynasty to stabilize the political situation, so they could still settle for the north.

But with the development of the era, with the advancement of science and technology, with the destruction of feudal thought, sooner or later this royal clan would be swept into the trash, this tragic ending was already anticipated by them.

Weak nations naturally had the law of survival, and the key point was to be smart, to be clear about the nature of weak nations, and to be extremely vigilant against danger.

From the moment Emperor Jiaqing gave his name to Viet Nam, the Ruan Royal Family knew that the Central Plains Empire was not reliable. They had never believed in themselves.

This really was a story. During the time of the Jia Qing dynasty, King Annan, Ruan Fuying, had sent a message to the Beijing to request for the title of the Southern State of Annan.

Emperor Jiaqing was no fool. He immediately knew what this small Southern Barbaric Country was planning when he heard this name. This was it wanting the legal inheritance of the Ancient Nanyue Kingdom!

The Southern State was the first feudal government that the Han people had established in the south after Qin Shihuang. Zhao Tuo was a well-established person in the Central Plains, and he was firmly established in Hebei province!

This is Guangdong, Guangxi, Annan, Fujian... The earliest record of nation-building in these regions was the first appearance of a national civilization.

This name wasn't worth much, but the political significance behind it was too particular!

Of course, the Ruan Royal Family did not dare to fight against the Great Qing, he knew that she would not be able to defeat the Qing Dynasty.

They understood the historical pattern of the rise and fall of empires. To ask the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for the title of the SouthYue Kingdom was to ask for a basis for the law of the future.

If he could wait until the chaotic war between the warlords of the Central Plains, he could naturally expand his influence to Guangxi and Guangdong with the banner of the Southmoon Kingdom!

At that time, who knows how many prefectures and counties they would have to eat? Even if the territory had not been lost, it was not good to have millions of citizens carried away!

With a single glance, Jia Qing saw through the schemes of these Black Hats from the south. He immediately rejected their requests and then even mischievously bestowed the title of Viet Nam to the Ruan Royal Family.

This was the origin of the country's name. It was given to him by Emperor Jiaqing!

Vietnam, Vietnam, was the meaning of the south. The subtext was very clear. You, as a small country, are even more remote than the south of the ancient kingdom.

My Central Plains has no interest in taking your territory, and you can forget about taking advantage of us, so scram to the side!

The name of Viet Nam was actually a very shameful memory for the Ruan Royal Family, but it was nothing to the common people.

There are even some quick-witted Vietnamese scholars who would gloat over their fantasy 'Vietnam, Vietnam, South.' ”To the people of the Central Plains, going further in would already be considered a barbaric land, let alone the southern part of the Wilderness!”

”Aiyo, this is good news!” This means that the Qing Dynasty had no interest in annexing our territory. We can continue to live a good life! '

Is this self-consoling therapy familiar? It was also the sorrow of a weak country!

However, this Ruan Ruan had only been in the royal family for a few days. Suddenly, a group of Frenchmen arrived from the south and started preaching as soon as they arrived. It was impossible for them to not preach.

Alright then, you go on and preach. In the end, a foreign priest died for no reason at all!

This time, the French had an excuse. With the bombardment of the military ships and the landing of the Marine Corps, they easily captured the Saigon and beat them until they hid in the north, not daring to resist.
