The yamen under the imperial court received the emergency reports from Guangdong and Guangxi only in the afternoon. To put it bluntly, even the lowest tricks in the eight alleys beside Qianmen Street could be analyzed for you in the evening. .

Naturally, as long as Hong Jinglai is willing to inquire, he can sit in a restaurant casually without spending any money, and he can get all the information as clearly as a mirror. However, most of these gossips are mixed with hearsay, so you cannot believe them all. .The best thing is to try to get a copy of the palace gate, or ask the military aircraft.

As long as it's something that can be solved with money, it won't be a problem for Hong Jinglai, who has a lot of money.

Thanks to the relationship between the two, it is just like playing in Yanjing to find a few guards from the Qianqing Palace or second-class guards and third-class guards. They are the "men" of the Yellow Flag Manchuria. Anyone who has some potential wants to seek money from the various customs offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They just want to work as a errand to make a fortune. The second-rate ones who have no future only want to work as a useless door guard errand at the palace gate and earn a dead salary.

As for the least promising ones, they have begun to let themselves go and only want to work as hardcore crops for the rest of their lives!

And it was only after Hong Jinglai got the palace gate copy and asked the rites guard in the Korea Hall to write a note that he finally figured out the matter.

Where did Nguyen Phuc Anh establish the Kingdom of Vietnam?

In the eighth year of Jiaqing, that is, in June 1803, Ruan Fuying's envoy had already obtained the canonization of the Qing Dynasty in Yanjing. As for the overthrow of the Xishan Dynasty, that was basically completed in 1802.

At that time, Hong Jinglai had just returned from Edo, and he had never thought of or encountered this problem. As for the envoys of the Li Dynasty at that time, after returning to Hanyang from Yanjing, they reported to King Sunjong that Vietnam had "actors come to the country."

The Vietnamese envoys who went to Yanjing to ask for a title were dressed just like the ones in the opera. They wished that the entire official uniform was embroidered with flowers. The big embroidery behind them was fluttering in the wind, and the wings on the black gauze hat were heavy because of the weight. None of the decorations can bounce.

It is said that because of this incident, the Vietnamese envoy was ridiculed by the North Korean envoy as an ignorant barbarian. Of course, the Vietnamese envoy, who may have regarded himself as orthodox Confucianism, also secretly ridiculed the Li Dynasty envoy as a beast in disguise and a slave to the barbarians.

Half a pound!

Theoretically speaking, Vietnam's "Dai Nan Empire" has been established for almost three years at this time, and it has been two years since it was canonized. Books such as "The Geographical Records of the Unification of Vietnam", "The Cases of Dai Nan Huidian", and "Da Nan "Records" also began to be compiled.

As a de facto feudal dynasty, it has been firmly established, has been universally recognized by the East Asian tribute system, and its international status has been basically established.

It is true that Hong Jinglai did not remember this incident, but the urgent report sent by Guangdong and Guangxi did have something to do with Vietnam, and the relationship was not small!

Vietnam is cracking down on pirates!

This matter may make many people question their faces, but in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were indeed a lot of pirate forces active in East Asia. The powerful ones could even attack states and counties, and repeatedly defeated the official army.

The uprising of "King of Zhenhai" Cai Qian, which Hong Jinglai heard about when he came to Yanjing, also involved a large number of pirates in the South China Sea. At this time, these pirates on the East Asian sea were so powerful that they almost reached the point of being unbridled.

Even if you are a white European, you can still rob merchant ships! When it comes to cannons and ships, pirates are not weak at all, and large iron cannons weighing tens of thousands of kilograms are nothing.

In particular, people like Chen Tianbao, Mo Guanfu, Zheng Qi, Zhang Baozai, Zheng Yi, Guo Podai and others were all famous pirates for a while. Especially Zhang Baozai, who would be ordered to be safe by the Qing government in the future, almost

Became the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy.

Therefore, the emergency report sent by Ji Qing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, stated two things. The first was that the three pirate giants Mo Guanfu, Liang Wengeng, and Fan Wencai had been captured alive by Ruan Fuying. They had been sent to Guangzhou and their identities had been verified.

If these three were just pirates, they would not go to Datian. Because there were so many bandits under Dai Qing's rule, if all of them were reported, Emperor Jiaqing would not be able to do anything. Mainly among these three

Mo Guanfu is a bandit who pulls flags, kills officials, and attacks cities and towns! His nature has been elevated from a bandit to a "rebel", and he is the kind of heinous and heinous person.

Whether he should be cut into pieces or quartered by five horses, Jiaqing's Holy Judgment was needed. Ji Qing could not kill such a big bandit by himself. This could be regarded as an achievement in his governance of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The second thing is that when Ruan Phuc Anh attacked the southeastern pirates, he had a huge crowd and many warships. At this time, the pirates' lair in Vietnam was located in the area due west of Hainan Island, which was called Cave Raid. Later, Vietnam would call it Cave Fort.

I changed my name to Zhenning, so there is no need to mention it.

At the turn of spring and summer this year, southeasterly winds blew in the area, which greatly helped Nguyen Phuc Anh in killing pirates. If East Asia had not been affected by the Siberian cold air mass in autumn and winter, with mainly northwest winds, these pirates would not have survived this year.

In order to combat these unscrupulous pirates, some forces from Portugal, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries came to join the war. This matter was detected by Ji Qing. With so many foreign warships passing by from the west of Hainan Island, if he pretended not to know,

Anyone who reads it will be doomed.

Therefore, I will recite it in detail so that the saints can hear it!

The matter is a big one, but it really has nothing to do with North Korea. Of course, this is only on the surface. This matter also has a more profound impact on the situation in East Asia.

Portugal is gone!

Regardless of whether it was the Netherlands, France or the United Kingdom, they all saw that the Portuguese in Macau almost no longer had the ability to protect themselves.

What does this mean? It means that the guardian of Macau, the only real window to the outside world of the Qing Dynasty, a huge East Asian empire, no longer has the strength to protect Macau.

Based on the so-called "international axiom" that survival of the fittest is the universal truth at this time, Macau should automatically hand over this important trading port that can be stationed all year round, does not require deadline trading, and is not affected by weather.

Based on the so-called truth above, Macau should naturally be "a place where the virtuous live." Who is the virtuous? Don't think too much, it must be Britain, which has many ships, cannons, and strong soldiers and horses. It is already known as the empire on which the sun never sets.

The British, who saw clearly the weakness of the Portuguese authorities in Macau, would soon gather warships in India, using the excuse that France and Portugal were at war and Britain was an ally of Portugal. In order to prevent France from attacking Macau, troops were sent to protect Macau.

Of course, if it can take advantage of the situation and accept the port of Macau, the UK can reluctantly accept it.
