[English]
This is Vietnam in the 16th century
at this time it was called Dai Viet
The French along with some Western countries began to leave their footprints on Vietnam by trading and preaching
During this period, there was nothing outstanding except the birth of the current Vietnamese writing to serve the mission
Until the Tay Son Nguyen war broke out
Lord Nguyen Phuc Anh could not win. Nguyen Hue Tay Son, so he went everywhere to ask for help
Of course there were also French people
A French priest named Ba Da Loc saw that if Anh ascended the throne
it would be beneficial for the mission
so he tried his best to help Nguyen Anh.
On behalf of Lord Nguyen, he went to France to sign a heavenly treaty that was no different from opening up scraps of paper
According to this, France would send troops to support
but in return, after winning, Anh would have to surrender some territories and exclusive trade rights to France
And why is this treaty no different from a pile of scraps of paper?
Because as soon as the signing was signed, France immediately encountered the
bourgeois revolution of the Napoleonic War
France was too busy fighting European countries to send troops
helped Anh
so the newly signed treaty seemed to abandon
Ba da Loc returned empty-handed
but with a strong missionary passion
he still mobilized the entire relationship, even
even gave up his pocket arrows to help Anh
But really, Nguyen Hue is too strong right now
Siamese army gives a punch
Qing army gives a kick
Nguyen Anh army has just won Loc
Top up VIP
for an instant kick.
And it was not until Nguyen Hue unexpectedly passed away that Anh had the opportunity to defeat the Tay Son dynasty
and establish the Nguyen dynasty.
At the same time in Europe, the Napoleonic War had also ended
Now these grandfathers were fed up with each other and wanted to compete to see who was the richest
by colonizing more backward countries to exploit them
And after that paper treaty, Dai Nam had now officially fallen into the French basket.
and soon the Nguyen Dynasty will have to confront these greedy colonialists.
After Nguyen Anh ascended the throne, he took
The name Gia Long
changed the country's name to Vietnam
Regarding Gia Long's rule
in terms of domestic affairs, his policies were generally quite beneficial to the state treasury.
Catholics are treated fairly
In terms of foreign affairs, he still has trade
Control with the West
is mainly about updating modern technology to help maintain force
great war for the army
while maintaining good relationships with neighboring countries
creating stability in the region to develop the country
This was a wonderful era
However, this short-lived peace ended after Gia Long passed away
King Minh Mang's succession to the throne sparked a series of troubles.
He took advantage of the huge military force left by the old man to wage war against small neighboring countries
to help expand the territory
and to be worthy of this magnificence,
he changed the country's name to Dai Nam
However, contrary to the name, the farmers had to be handcuffed.
tax burden to finance the war.
Besides, Minh Mang also has a strong anti-Western ideology
Why do you hate Westerners so much?
Because they are barbarian invaders
So you probably hate Catholicism too.
Exactly, Because they affect the security and customs of the An Nam people
So what are you going to do, Your Majesty?
It's simple, just follow what I write here
Mang Manh officially stops doing business with the West
and if there is anything Western in this land of An Nam, he will deal with it
as Westerners and Catholics.
And this brutal act of Minh Mang
made France extremely bitter
and was also one of the reasons France used as an excuse to invade
later invaded Dai Nam
And the chaos would continue through the next kings
as long as Minh Mang's policies were still applied and the war could not be ended.
During the reign of King Thieu Tri, the people continued to rebel and even lost the land of Chan Lap
The army, after many years of war and uprisings,
It's too weak right now.
Not only that, because we don't do business with the West, we work
Dai Nam's weapons technology is also backward
How backward is it?
How about we give them a try
good idea
So in 1847, France used the excuse of religion and communism.
often bla bla
sent their fleet to Da Nang, sunk a series of imperial ships and then fled
The Nguyen army reacted too slowly.
Now the French know how broken this government is
and now they just need to wait for enough force to pounce on Dai Nam immediately.
In 1856, France began to have a large presence in the Far East during the opium war with the Qing Dynasty
And all it took was a reasonable reason to turn around and attack Dai Nam immediately
And how unlucky was it that Tu Duc
, the successor of Thieu Tri
, at that very moment, executed two Spanish priests.
Delicious has an excuse.
Wait, don't be so unreasonable. Those two are not
French.
Then we will invite Spain to make it reasonable.
Ah yes
After discussing
tactics on September 1, 1858
The French and Spanish coalition commanded
by Admiral Genouilly began the invasion at the seaport of Da Nang.
The goal is to attack straight to Hue citadel and win quickly
The theory is like that but all
The above plan was ruined by a general of Dai Nam
, his name was Nguyen Tri Phuong.
With his forte in defense, he evacuated all the villagers from the war zone
and then built strongholds and strong defenses, holding the French back for months
Admiral Genouilly felt extremely bitter when he was firmly controlled
Not only that, more than half of the coalition forces were also tormented by epidemics due to being unaccustomed to the climate.
Spain is so scared, please withdraw most of its troops from Dai Nam, the rest will withdraw after finishing fighting Gia Dinh
Wait wait wait, what did you just say?
Yes, army
Spain withdrew,
no more after that.
Are they going to attack family
?
The story was that they found Da Nang uneatable
The French moved down to raid Dai's granary
South of Gia Dinh citadel.
Gia Dinh fell in just one morning and was hunted
absolutely.
Nguyen Tri Phuong continued to flee to the South to resolve the situation.
He's finally here. Let's prepare for a rematch.
Sir
what ?
there is an urgent order summoning us to China.
What?
At this time, France suddenly encountered turmoil in China during the opium war, so it had to withdraw most of its troops from Dai Nam.
And this is the right time to counterattack.
But no
Nguyen Tri Phuong is a cautious person. Not to mention his forte is
, so he focused on taking advantage of his strengths to build a 3km wide fortified post
called Chi Hoa post, whose goal was to firmly defend the French.
had to give in
A year later, France resolved the dispute with Dai Thanh and brought it back
The army returned to Gia Dinh
However, Genouily no longer had the chance to fight Nguyen Tri Phuong again
and was replaced by another commander
Oh, you guys are still intact. But I was planning to hold a funeral ceremony for you guys.
Yes, you're just joking, but I don't understand why they didn't attack in full force but instead built a stronghold at the other end, sir.
As expected, as Genouily said,
this guy is quite confident in his defense strategy.
So what do we do next?
According to Sir?
you have to ask. Of course it's All in.
Surely you don't have 30,000 soldiers six times your size
?
Even 30,000 troops
is not a problem
What?
So despite the loss in numbers, the French commander still decided
attack on Chi Hoa outpost.
Well this defense system seems pretty good.
There are still many soldiers in there. Now you turn around and see if there's still time
for us to soak them with our superior artillery.
Hello.
It's true that Western technology can shoot really far.
So should we shoot back?
The shot got nowhere. Save your ammunition. All troops should try to stand firm.
Looks like their defense has softened. Send the infantry forward
They've started to attack.
Just stay calm. First distance second distance. Just wait
they came into range.
Close enough. The entire army opened fire.
I didn't expect you guys to be so stubborn.
Continue shelling. This time shoot me enthusiastically.
Dear General, their artillery fire is too dense
If we still leave our troops at the outpost, our army will be destroyed.
If that's the case, we won't let them use artillery anymore.
Order the troops to withdraw to the end of the outpost.
Yes, I understand.
Looks like they've all withdrawn from the outpost.
Send troops to occupy it for us.
Good, everyone rearrange their formation and
continue to advance.
As planned, the entire army counterattacked.
The attacking enemy quickly opens fire.
Too close is not good. move forward to block
them again.
Wow, these guys play with elephants....
has a bishop, prioritize dealing with them first.
Elephants seem ineffective
Try to use hand-to-hand combat to hold the line.
Flying pig
This is a pig.
Your artillery team seems to have a lot of free time
Damn it. They move to play
Close combat neutralized all of our artillery.
So what do you think now, sir? Hit
This morning they are still stubborn.
Well, let's try to hold the outpost and wait for the whole enemy to withdraw. Mai
They will pay the price for daring to provoke me.
Report to the general, our troops attack in the morning
I'm exhausted now
Well, it can't be helped, quickly withdraw our troops, tomorrow we will
continue fighting.
Yes. Yes.
Attack and bombard their second line for us.
They have begun to attack. Whole army
Quickly rush out to counterattack.
If you want to go out, forget it. All according to plan
Go up and block the gate
Dear general, they're blocking the money
It's rumored.
What?
Now you are like birds trapped in a cage.
Now
let them know my wrath.
It's not okay. If it stays like this, it will be broken
it's all gone.
Quickly continue to move forward and break through.
The general, the general, the general,
The general, the general, is injured, take him away quickly.
Nguyen Tri Phuong was injured by them
pieces of French artillery so they had to retreat,
lost their commander, Chi Hoa post was also officially defeated
fall.
This failure shocked King Tu Duc,
demoted Nguyen Chi Phuong and then appointed another person, Nguyen Ba Nghi, to lead 4,000 people.
troops entered the South to reinforce.
Oh my god, how did things turn out like this
this?
What's wrong with you?
Nguyen Tri Phuong surrendered 30,000 troops but lost
4000
Our troops are not good enough, they are wasting their lives in vain.
If you feel you don't have enough strength
Then please try to reconcile.
That would be like surrendering to the invaders.
It will take a long time for me to accept it. make peace bro.
Well, why did you
have no other choice?
Okay, but before I answer, I will ask you a question.
Yes, no problem sir.
Now, if you are dealing with sadness, I call
you hold back. Do you accept?
What kind of question is that? Probably
Damn, I have to think backwards.
Of course I do.
That's right.
Oh yeah,
there's a piece of shit....
So France is gaining momentum to expand its control over the three southern provinces.
Nguyen Ba Nghi did not dare to fight but only asked for peace.
However, Dai Nam was still not out of trouble when suddenly in the North,
took advantage of the seriously weakened court and
lost prestige when losing to France.
A man named Ta Van Phung flattered himself
The descendants of the Le
dynasty called on the masses to rise up and overthrow the dynasty
Nguyen.
And we will regain the glory of the Le Dynasty.
What's wrong?
Oh my mistake, This is correct. A hi hi
[Applause]
Ta Van Phung's power is clearly more urgent, so the court had to send people to make peace.
negotiate with the French to use all their strength to deal with Ta Van Phung first.
Same old question, now if
As you are dealing with sadness, I ask you to stop, do you accept?
no?
Okay, this question will probably fail again. Well, the correct answer is
Of course not.
That's right.
No shit.
So the Dharma accepted
peace agreement, but the price to pay was recognition of the three provinces in the Southeast region as belonging to France
and having to pay exorbitant war costs.
2 million silver, 4 million French francs. Them
I don't have that much money
It's okay, we'll let you pay in installments
for 10 years.
Then it's like you're squeezing us dry so you can fight us later.
Do you like it now? Or do you want to fight now?
Great minister Phan Thanh Gian led the way
The Dai Nam delegation had no choice but to sign the unequal treaty.
So Dai Nam officially lost its land.
Not only that, he also became a debtor of the French
The already poor court is now even more exhausted.
But the good news is thanks to that, Dai Nam
put all his strength into successfully extinguishing Ta Van Phung's power.
But it seems like that news still doesn't make Your Majesty happy enough.
sigh I'm quite old this year. Constructive calculation
A mausoleum also has a place to lie down after death.
But now I have to pay my debt
enemy. Where is the money to build
Or you can build a small tomb.
Are you kidding?
Your father is the king.
Then the only way is to use our last assets.
There's nothing else left, I've exhausted all my debts.
Here it is
Ah ha.
So Tu Duc increased taxes, then used a portion to build lavish mausoleums, causing dissatisfaction among the people and creating more work for imperial soldiers.
Transferred to Southern punishment.
The An Nam people in the three eastern provinces were exploited by the French even more brutally.
The royal court was at peace with France. Suffering people don't know who to turn to for help at this time
A savior has appeared.
Despite the peace treaty, he still gathered rebel troops there
three western provinces fought against the French
and that hero's name was Truong Dinh.
He was loved and revered by the people as the Binh Tay Dai Marshal, leader of the resistance.
But unfortunately he died two years later because of this guy.
Truong Dinh's son Truong Quyen continued to lead the insurgents to fight for another 6 years
and caused France to suffer heavy losses.
They are reloading and attacking quickly.
How heavy is it?
Yes, about 1500 to 2000 something.
Oh, it's only 2000. Small matter.
Yes, we lost 20% of our troops there
Ah, 20%
?
So France used the imperial court as an excuse regarding the resistance wars.
Please surrender the three remaining Southern provinces as compensation. Don't make me crazy.
The court cannot say anything. Fear of the Dharma is like fear of a tiger. Have to agree.
The six Southern provinces have now become French land.
Lost area. The insurgents were gradually isolated by the French. Phong
The movement was officially extinguished. After Truong Quyen passed away,
got rid of those annoying insurgents. It's time to celebrate.
Wait, our Motherland
There's been a change.
What?
In Europe, France fought with Prussia but lost,
the situation in Mau Quoc was also completely chaotic, so France temporarily did not take any action in Dai Nam
However, after the defeat with Prussia, France focused on modernizing the army
to increase combat power.
A typical example is the Chassepot. The rear-loader fired five times faster than Dai Nam's guns
began to be mass-equipped with the reconnaissance troops in the Far East.
East
until 1873, the court discovered
This guy is illegally smuggling on the Red River.
You are illegally trespassing on the territory. Did you know?
I know.
So why do you still do it?
I like it
Oh, this guy is cocky, isn't he? Believe it or not, I'll deal with you right away
here always?
What? Do you dare? Don't you know I have a death-free gold card?
Huh? Kim card to avoid death? First time we see it.
Hey, that's a French passport, you idiot.
Touch it and let me try it.
I was afraid that touching him would create an excuse for the French to attack the North
The court had to call for the French to come and solve the problem
Oh really? Just let us come
Solve it for.
So French Admiral Francis Garnier led a large fleet to Hanoi
Internal resolution.
But it's not about solving this businessman's case
but it's a success
Hanoi
This blow was too unexpected. Although Nguyen Tri Phuong commanded brave soldiers to fight
, he still could not hold the citadel. He was injured and captured by the French.
During his time in prison, he also refused all bribes and treatment from the French
In the end, Nguyen Tri Phuong chose to sacrifice himself by going on a hunger strike
Dai Nam lost a talented general
After the fall of Hanoi, France tried to open
expanded the occupied area but faced strong resistance from the people.
Imperial troops
It's too weak, if you fight you will lose.
So do you want to win?
Do you want it
Then recruit us, no salary debt is fine
So the powerless court comes
I had to recruit a group of Chinese robbers
called the black pawns
anti-French forces.
This group's forte is ambushing
so they were quick
He won his first victory when he deleted Garnier's account from the world server during the battle of Cau Giay.
lost his command, shocking France. Forced
had to temporarily stop fighting, ask for peace and then withdraw troops
The Nguyen court temporarily escaped a disaster.
During this time, the power of the black chess army was stronger than the royal army
so they ran wild in the North, looting and oppressing French merchants, but the court did not dare to do anything.
created more reasons for the French to attack the region
North again.
This time a new commander named Henri Rivière led the Fleet to Hanoi.
Are you sure?
why not?
We have the black chess piece, and are now the most dominant in the region
Hey
if you're bored then just play
play then play, don't be afraid.
Oh, then I'll fix it right away
Your general will just go
Run faster, faster
Hurry up, they'll hit you so hard
it's so bad. I thought you guys were strong
We only specialize in ambushes.
What the heck can you do directly?
Seeing that the black chess piece is out of meta, the court must return
asked the Qing dynasty to help.
Quan Thanh already hated the Dharma so he agreed
Always had support from a large force of Dai Thanh. The black chess piece enters the court
The family decided to attack Hanoi citadel
Henri wanted to take the initiative so he gave it
interceptor troops at Cau Giay.
Bro, Cau Giay
What about Cau Giay?
Box
now I remember
Henri was ambushed and left
Follow Garnier too.
It's true that we can still finalize the date, but it's a little slower.
It's so frustrating to step on the same shit twice.
In July 1883, taking advantage of King Tu Duc who had just passed away,
the French landed directly in Da Nang. There was no longer Nguyen Tri Phuong, so they went all the way to the capital Hue.
The court is not in good shape right now
After the death of Tu Duc
, he had to compromise and accept the signing of the peace treaty
In 1884, France agreed to protect the entire territory
and then officially withdrew
out of the war.
However, in the North, Phap Thanh still fought and the people of Dai Nam still participated in the war under the command of Hoang Ta Viem.
After 9 months of competition, both Phap and Thanh had absorbed the blows
so they decided to make peace.
The 1885 Peace Treaty of Tianjin was signed
Basically, the Qing Dynasty would have to withdraw its troops and recognize French protection in Dai Nam.
But in return, France will give them some border land
world and establish diplomatic relations.
There are no more Qing troops
Hoang Ta Viem's black flag troops and insurgents were quickly suppressed by the French.
Up to this point, Dai Nam had completely lost its independence
and it looked like there would no longer be any An Nam people strong enough to stand up against these colonialists.
Who says there is no one left?
Who are you?
I am Ton That Thuyet.
