"Commander Feng, the Taipei Fleet has sent warships to help us cross the river."
"Hahaha, okay, give me the order and prepare to cross the river."
"yes."
The lower reaches of the Mekong River flow from Saigon into the South China Sea.
The river downstream was very fast, and the Tenglong Army had to rely on large boats to cross the river.
Before the South China Sea Fleet returned from Europe, Gan Hong contacted the Taipei Fleet and relied on the Taipei Fleet's large ships and troop carriers to cross the river.
In addition, the Taipei fleet will also attack the French military port of Cochin China and then capture this military port.
After Zheng Yong brought Taipei's main fleet to Saigon, he prepared to attack the military port.
It turned out that there were no French soldiers guarding the place.
Even the coastal defense guns were destroyed by themselves.
There isn't a single warship here either.
Zheng Yong immediately sent the news to Feng Zicai.
After Feng Zicai got the news, he guessed that the French army had run away.
The army successfully crossed the river without any obstruction.
Feng Zicai only crossed the river with the Ninth Army and took over all the remaining cities of the Ruan Dynasty.
But when they arrived at Anjiang City, they discovered that all the clan members of the Ruan dynasty had been killed.
We don’t know who killed him yet.
Nguyen Phuc Thi had no sons, but he had several adopted sons, all of whom should basically become the new monarchs in the future. (The original time and space have indeed become the past one after another.)
But now they are all killed.
Feng Zicai guessed that it was no accident that this was a frame-up, making the outside world think that all the Ruan clan members were killed by the Tenglong Army.
Shi Zhengfan looked at his deputy commander.
"Commander Feng, what should we do?"
"The French army is so cruel. They are trying to frame us."
"Send a report to the commander and see what he says!"
"yes."
After receiving the telegram, Gan Hong did not dare to delay and immediately called Li Jingxiao.
"Hello, Grand Governor, I am Gan Hong."
"Hey, Gan Hong, it's time to announce the good news this time."
"Grand Governor, this is indeed good news for you. We have captured the entire Ruan Dynasty."
"Yes, all the cities on the east and west sides of the Mekong River that we currently control will be assigned to Annan Province. The capital of Annan Province will still be Hanoi."
"Your Yunnan Military Region is mainly stationed in Yunnan and Annan Provinces."
"yes."
"Grand Governor, when we took over the entire Nguyen Dynasty, we did not fight the French army."
"They voluntarily gave up the territory of the Nguyen Dynasty."
"Oh, so they went back to France?"
"I asked people to check. They did not leave Asia, but went to another colony, the Khmer Empire."
"The Khmer Empire?"
"Hmph, it seems that the French guy still doesn't want to give up."
"Be careful in Annan Province. The French will definitely unite with the Khmer Empire and the Luo Empire to target us."
"Please rest assured, Grand Governor, I will make sure all the troops are on tight guard and will not give them any chance."
"By the way, expand the dock for me at the former French Cochin China Fleet base in Saigon."
"Saigon will become my new southernmost port, and I will let the Hainan Fleet be stationed here in the future."
"yes."
"Great Governor, I have one more thing to call you this time."
"What's up?"
"The clan members of the Ruan Dynasty were wiped out!"
"What, who did it?"
"Don't you understand that no harm will come to your family?"
"Grand Governor, we did not do this. When our troops arrived in An Giang, they found that the entire clan of the Ruan Dynasty had been exterminated, and no one was spared."
"Hmph, the damn French guys, they must have done it. They wanted to frame us."
"It's not that easy to ruin my reputation, Lee Jingxiao."
"You find dozens of French guys, let them wear military uniforms, hold weapons, and cooperate to take some photos."
"After filming, I will kill them all."
"When the time comes, let's just say that this was a crime of a Frenchman that our lurking people risked their lives to photograph."
"I will ask the Department of Public Information to report this matter and inform the country about French's crimes."
"I will also ask Lu Wantong to take the pictures abroad and publish them in newspapers."
"I'll let the French guys explain it one by one."
"Hahaha, Great Governor, that's wonderful."
"I'll have someone do it right away."
Li Jingxiao hung up the phone and made a call outside.
"Get me the press department."
"Hello, I'm Zhao Lingxi, Minister of Information."
"Lingxi, come to my office."
"yes."
"Grand Governor, you are looking for me."
"Lingxi, get ready. In four days we will publish a report on France's crimes."
"Take this outline and you can flesh it out. The photos will be in the hands of your news department in three days."
"yes."
"By the way, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay brother Xiao, I'll go and get busy first."
"Yeah, let's go."
Gan Hong asked Feng Zicai to quickly arrange the photo shoot.
In order to take pictures, Feng Zicai sent more than 20 prisoners to Anjiang.
In order to make them obedient, Feng Zicai specially asked them to cooperate well. If they cooperate well, they will be allowed to go home.
These people really thought they would send them home, and they cooperated honestly.
I took a lot of photos, and the shooting angles were deliberately hidden, just to look real.
After the photo was taken, the photo was given to Zheng Yong. Zheng Yong asked a warship to send the photo to Guangdong Province, and then sent it to Henan by train.
After the photos were sent to Zhao Lingxi and others, Zhao Lingxi immediately asked people to select the photos, and then made a newspaper for distribution across the country.
At the same time, there were also reports in France in Europe that the Teng Long Empire was very cruel and killed members of the Nguyen dynasty.
This caused an uproar in France, and reports described Tenglong Empire and Li Jingxiao as heinous sinners.
But not long after, another report came out, with pictures as evidence. It was actually the French army that killed the Nguyen dynasty.
The news soon reached Aliles's ears, and he was furious.
Originally, he wanted to use public opinion to put pressure on the Tenglong Empire and divert the domestic public's attention from their defeat.
As a result, this wave of operations not only failed to move the target, but also completely trapped them.
Ariles had Francois called to his office.
Francis was the person in charge sent by Aliles to kill the Nguyen dynasty clan.
"Asshole, what do you do for food?"
"See for yourself, what did you do?"
"Stupid pig, everything you did was photographed."
"You are all stupid pigs, stupid pigs who can't do anything well!"
"Commander, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know why I was photographed. I remember that when I was leading the team, there was no one else around. If there was anyone, we would definitely kill them together."
"I don't know where these photos came from."
"No, no."
"Commander, these people are not my subordinates. They are not the people I sent to kill the members of the Ruan Dynasty."
"This is slander, Commander, this is slander."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure that this is really not my person. We are very careful and cannot make such a mistake."
"Asshole, bastard..."
