C3430 Control of Annan (2/2)
”This war is indeed chaotic. May God bless you all. I hope your loved ones won't be harmed …”
”Don't look at me, our Chinese Army does not commit any offense, and will not harm the common people …” ”But I can't say for sure what your army and troops are like!”
”Besides, after the war, there will be a lot of ownerless land and property, and the government will have to redetermine the property rights... Go back and guard your family's property! ”
These Frenchmen had all been forced to eat in a banquet as if they had lost their way. Everyone was motivated by Xiao Hexin to return home as soon as possible.
The scene of the Chinese bullying the French caught the eyes of the local people of Annan. Some of them might have had some ulterior motives, but after today, all of them had been retracted.
Not only that, the Northern Ruan Empire had also sent messengers to interact with Xiao Hexin, and they were even shamelessly thanking the Chinese people for helping the Ruan Royal Family reclaim their homeland.
Xiao Hexin glared at the messenger and blew him away, ”What are you talking about? Help you reclaim your homeland? Keep dreaming! This is the French colony, and it has now become the territory of the Chinese! ”
”I'll give you two choices, one of them is to accept the integration of the Chinese, to learn from the ancient Ryukyu and integrate with the Chinese!”
”The second way is to obediently stay in the north. We'll guard it for as long as we can. It all depends on your lives!”
After blowing away the Ruan Royal Family's envoy, the Saigon began to continuously increase the number of troops!
3000, 5000, 9000 … The number of garrisons had been increased to twelve thousand, and the number of battleships had been increased to thirty, two-thirds of which were small battleships that could sail freely on the Mekong River.
The core of the Chinese control over Annan was the Saigon. When the 12,000 garrison troops had stabilized the situation in the Mekong Delta, the Nannan Port and the Jinlan Bay in the north were also invaded by the Chinese Navy.
When the French withdrew, the Ruan Dynasty in the north sent a small force to take over the defense, but under the assault of six thousand marines, these medieval armies were powerless to fight back.
The two important naval bases of Port Xian and the Jinlan Bay could be considered under complete control. However, the large-scale resistance that Xiao Hexin had expected had never happened.
While blowing the warm and moist night breeze from Saigon, Xiao Hexin drank the beer that the Frenchman had brewed locally, feeling very satisfied.
”It's just like what the leader said. This world needs to fight with the strong. Sometimes, when you fight with the strong, you will make tens of thousands of weaklings submit!”
”After the Franco-Prussian War ended, the sky suddenly changed completely. Something that I didn't even dare to think about in the past actually broke through in such a short amount of time!”
”Even the Dutch would not dare to claim his rights in the Kalimantan Island. Spain has also sold the Luzon to us, the Chinese. Now France has ceded the authority to the entire Annan …”
”In the past, who would have thought that when the Chinese people guarding the Ryukyu Archipelago were being bullied by the French expeditionary fleet and were being bombarded by the Russian navy, there would be such a map!”
”And the Western Regions... With so much compensation, Shang Tai's side should be successful! Hahaha … The vast Western Regions actually thought of using money to buy it? ”
”Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, regardless of whether I end up making money or losing money, it's still satisfying. It's too satisfying …” Put French blood into our blood and fatten up our Chinese flesh! ”
”Ever since we Chinese learned how to bully people, our lives have become happier!”
”Someone come!” Has the latest intelligence arrived? Where did Emperor Tongzhi go … ”
”Reporting to General, the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has arrived at the ponytail … are inspecting the Mawei Shipyard! ”
”Ah?” I just got to Fujian! Is this a ship? ”Why is it slower than an oxcart …”
