Chapter 180: Post-war impact

Over time, the benefits of the Battle of Halong to the Chinese troops became more and more significant.
First, the troops in the three provinces were dispatched to send back escorted silver money, food, weapons, ships, livestock and other materials. After Sun Bin urgently sent a letter to transfer Liang Xing from the Natuna Islands, they were calculated after a few days of busy work. The total amount of materials seized, including coffers and ransoms seized from government offices around the country, and the ransoms paid by prisoners were 1.042 million. The surplus materials such as tea and cloth seized were sold for 220,000 silver.
Haiphong, Guang'an, and Haining provinces are coastal provinces. As France occupies southern Annan provinces, Annan merchants in the north take advantage of the geographical advantage of being close to the French to buy eastern luxury goods such as tea and porcelain from the coastal areas and sell them to the French by sea transportation. , And then transported by French merchants back to continental Europe for high prices.
Merchants are profit-seeking. Both Jin merchants and Annan merchants colluding with Liaodong are a virtue. After the three provinces fell into the control of the Chinese, Sun Bin was not polite to them. All Annan vessels docked in the port were detained. The tonnage exceeded the ocean requirements. All vessels were confiscated, and vessels with a smaller tonnage were redeemed by the vessel owners.
The merchants have a high political status but are low. Coupled with the scourge of smoke in Annan, the Hue court is so devastated that they cannot afford to do anything and have no ability to preside over them. Therefore, the Annan merchants who have no way can only pay in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese troops. Ransom, redemption of a part of the smaller tonnage.
There are not many small tonnages of Annan merchant ships. The total number of merchant ships detained as ocean shipping vessels is eight, and the tonnages are all between 400 and 800 tons.
Eight merchant ships, Sun Bin, plan to reorganize with three armed merchant ships to form a Nanyang fleet, and select sailors from the Chinese who have sailed to the sea to be responsible for the security of Annan and the Natuna Islands.
After removing the eight remaining merchant ships, the redemption brought 300,000 yuan to the Chinese troops.
The various seizures are counted together, and the deduction of the rewards given to the soldiers and the young and strong in the barracks. The battle in Halong brought nearly 1.2 million to the Chinese troops.
Killing and setting fire to the golden belt, watching the real gold and silver piled up in the storeroom, Sun Bin couldn't help sighing that it was the fastest way to get money from a war.
With ample money and food, Sun Bin was able to carry out Li Mingyuan's mission without restriction and recruit Chinese in a large area at the junction of northern Annan provinces and Annan mainland.
With a weak strike, the entire population of Annan was wiped out in the First World War, and the area under control reached three provinces. The sudden rise of Sun Bin ’s army attracted the attention of most Chinese forces at the junction of Vietnam and Annan and Guangxi. The Chinese began, and Chinese in the northern provinces of Haiyang, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, and Taiyuan all started to invest, and the small-arms peasant army in Panyushan Province invited the Chinese troops on the spot to include the areas they occupied into the occupation. Area.
Langshan Province has more mountains and less land, and is close to the Guangxi border. The area is three times that of Quang Ninh Province. Most of Langshan Province is occupied by a peasant army. The Annan Army occupies only a small area. After the invitation of the armed forces, Sun Bin sent Ye Chenglin to lead a thousand young men to march into Langshan. After three or four days of emergency march-style battles, the Annan troops in Langshan Province were annihilated. The peasant army along the route continued to join Ye Chenglin's troops. Finally, Three quarters of the land in Langshan Province fell into the control of the Chinese troops. Only the two border counties occupied by Liu Yongfu had an unclear attitude and did not indicate a positive sign of refuge.
Most parts of Langshan Province fell into control. The two remote small counties occupied by Liu Yongfu could not affect the overall situation. Therefore, under the instructions of Sun Bin, Ye Chenglin did not take armed actions against Liu Yongfu's Ministry for the time being.
Taking advantage of the situation and following the trend, only two minority peasant armed forces such as Liu Yongfu are swaying. Most of the peasant armed forces and the Chinese refugees are still in line with the trend created by the Chinese troops, abandoning Wu Yazhong and other people who lack money and food. Armed with a large number of peasant forces, they turned to the Sun Bin division.
The local peasants launched a rebellion. At this time, the Annan troops did not dare to provoke Sun Bin, who was gaining momentum, and released the Chinese migrants and peasant army forces passing by the defense zone.
Half a month has passed since the Chinese army stepped up its sphere of influence. Compared with the one that recruited Chinese immigrants a month ago, this time the Chinese exiles flocked. There are more than 50,000 Chinese in various places in Annan. There are about 200,000 in the provinces of Langshan, Haiphong, Guang'an and Haining. Two poor people who fled across the Guangxi border areas such as Taiping, Longzhou and Pingxiang. Ten thousand people.
The total number of Chinese from different regions is about 280,000, exceeding the number of Chinese in Rio Grande do Sul.
Most of the 280,000 Chinese are distributed in the three provinces of Guang'an, Haining and Langshan. In addition to the soldiers stationed by the Chinese in Haiphong, ordinary Chinese are moving to the other three provinces.
Haiphong is the gateway and trade port of Hanoi, a major town in the north of Annan. Forcibly occupying Haiphong will not only cause the rebound of the Annan court ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but also offend the French.
The Annan court himself did not care about Sun Bin's attitude, but behind Annan was the Qing army who had just destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If the Annan court ignored the Qing army ’s assistance, the Chinese army ’s newly-founded site would be in danger of being destroyed.
Regarding the interference of the Qing army behind Annan and the French army, Sun Bin made arrangements in advance of the occupation of coastal defense, while rectifying the Chinese armed forces in the occupied area, while sending messengers and Hue court to negotiate the conditions for recruiting.
In the Hue court, the real civil servants were led by the horse Ma Huang Jiyan. When Liang Xing, a representative sent by Sun Bin, brought Li Yu and a silver seized to meet Huang Jiyan, the two sides negotiated after four days of emergency negotiations to reach the conditions for recruiting:
A Chinese unit withdraws from Haiphong Province, and shall not destroy the urban defense facilities in the city or threaten the security of officials before the takeover of Annan forces.
Two released the captured 10,000 Annan soldiers and officers.
Three must not secretly support Annan's native rebels,
Four: Restrict the peasant army's armed forces, and must not collude with the peasant army of the Wu Ya terminal.
Fifth: The two small provinces of Guang'an and Haining were merged into Quang Ninh Province, and Sun Bin was named Governor of Quang Ninh Province. ...
There are a total of 13 conditions for recruiting on the bright side, but some conditions in the back ground are not visible. For example, the Chinese troops turned to Huang Ma Yan and took the command of Huang Ji Yan in person. The Hue ’s imperial court assumed that the Chinese troops actually occupied Langshan Province. Hand over 300,000 silver to the Chinese troops in the name of the military cricket, and hire them to besiege the local rebel forces ...
All the agreements on the surface and in the ground were signed, and the Chinese troops turned into subordinates of the Annan court. Nearly 300,000 Annan Chinese had a legal identity, and Sun Bin ’s operation in Annan was covered with another coat. .
