After the Hanoi War, the French government and the military had two different opinions on how to treat China. Some, led by the new Cabinet Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ruferi, advocated the expansion of the Annan incident and tended to continue to deploy troops from Europe to support the colonial government of Cochin-Bana.

Some soldiers, led by General Admiral Miller, believe that the results of the Battle of Hanoi show that the Nanyang Army has the combat power not inferior to that of the Cochin Chin Colonial Army. The Nanyang Army is equipped with excellent guns and artillery, and it has ample strategic material reserves. Its main force is as many as 10,000 people. If the French army makes a comeback, the Nanyang Army will still be the biggest enemy of the French occupation of Annan.

Navy generals such as Miller proposed to the French government that they should complete the plan to annex Annan in two steps.

First of all, French troops of about three to four thousand people were sent to support Saigon to stabilize French rule in the Nanban region. At the same time, in the negotiations with the Han country, they showed a sincere willingness to compromise and agreed to the conditions proposed by the Han country. On the condition of some small islands in the Pacific region, in exchange for the northern Annan area occupied by the Nanyang Army, in a peaceful manner, the biggest obstacle to the occupation of Annan by the French colonial government was resolved.

Secondly, after reaching an agreement with the Han country, they gradually expanded their influence to the Hue court, supported pro-French ministers, and selected a portion of the Annan clan that could be used as a puppet, in order to support the Cochin-Chinese colonial army at an appropriate time to support it. It replaced Emperor Gaode and became the new king of Annan.

The claims of Admiral Miller and other naval generals were not endorsed by Cabinet Prime Minister Ruferi, and several senior naval generals were also attacked by internal government officials and even lost the opportunity to lead the leader to support Annan.

On April 7, Ruferi, in his capacity as Minister of Foreign Affairs, conveyed to the Chinese side the three conditions for a two-party negotiation and truce:

1. France and Annan are states of diplomatic relations. The two countries have entered into formal trade regulations and customs rules. The Han country forcibly interfered in the relations between France and Annan, and instructed the Chinese army to attack the army of Cochin Chin, provoking it first. The government apologized for the indemnity, and returned the customs tax and diaspora assets and other property materials withheld by the Chinese Legion.

Second, France and Annan cooperate closely, and the Annan government has substantially received the protection of the French government. According to the current situation, the Han country cannot restrict or obstruct France's right to protect Vietnam.

3. The Han Dynasty evacuated the Chinese army stationed in Annan,

The Hongji Coal Mine and other mineral resource areas are placed under the jurisdiction of the Jiaojinina government. As a condition of reciprocity, the French government is willing to negotiate with the Han government on the issue of the sovereignty of French Polynesia and the Congo.

The French intended to use a treaty form to complete the annexation of Annan in one fell swoop. In the peace talks, the responsibility for launching war was attributed to the Han country. They denied the justice of the Nanyang Army against the French colonial aggression and continued to be superstitious in the French army. Of force to implement further fraud and extortion policies against the Han government.

In order to maintain the above objectives, the French cabinet ordered the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Marine Fleet, Major General Lexby, to lead the main force of his fleet and rush to the Annan waters to maritime deterrence of the Nanyang Army and assist the French Expeditionary Force in the offensive of northern Annan.

In early May, the French Expeditionary Fleet arrived in Annan. According to the instructions of the French government, the Expeditionary Commander Lonely, the Chinese Sea Fleet Commander Lisbee, and the Nanban Guards Commander Boshua The Big Three gathered in Saigon, where the Colonial Governor ’s House is located, to discuss how. The military plan to occupy Annan.

Commander Po Sho of Nanban said: "Hue is the source of conflict and struggle. From there, it issued (everything) orders to continue fighting in the Beiban area and requested assistance from the Nanyang Army.

Appeal. Once the Hue government is defeated, the resistance in northern Annan loses leadership, which will cause the Annan's will to resist quickly disappear. As for the Nanyang Army, after Annan's submission, if he loses the support of the Annan government, he will lose the motivation to continue to resist. "

The three giants of the Cochin Chinese colonial government exchanged views on solving the Annan issue, and then reached a consensus and decided

Implement a two-pronged, two-way attack plan,

That is, the Leeds ratio led 7 ships and 1,000 French Marines to capture Hue. The wave rate was more than 2,000 French soldiers, 600 Algerian soldiers, and 1,700 Annan indigenous soldiers attacked the areas of the Nanyang Regiment and Huang Zuoyan.

Taking into account the lessons of Li Weiye's disregard of the enemy and the annihilation of the entire army, before the launch of the offensive against the provinces occupied by the Nanyang Legion, Bo Hua continued to send small forces to test the deployment of the Nanyang Legion.

For example, on May 4th, French soldiers drove three armed ships, one with three masts and two with half masts. They entered the Ruixiang Society under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province, and two small artillery boats of the Nanyang Corps were stationed there. Immediately fired. The displacement of the gunboat was only 150 tons, and the gun position was not large, only 100 pounds. Five rounds of shells were fired, hitting the bow of the three-masted bow, wounding three French soldiers, and the remaining ships fled.

On the 9th, another three ships and three ships sailed straight up and down Shanxi.

Under the jurisdiction of the province, Danfengkou, the people of Annan were panicked. Many people were afraid of the scourge of the French army and brought their families to Hanoi and other areas.

On the 10th, two corporate ships were on board, and they wanted to commit a crime in Shanxi.

provincial capital. The Hua Jun intercepted at Shangchishe ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and his ship turned back to Zuo Feng.

In the early morning of May 15th, the detectives were committed by Nanban to commit crimes. There were no more than 500 of them, most of them were Keyong and religious people, and there were few legal soldiers. The Huajun sent out four companies to go out and ambush in different ways, and rushed to seduce first with a powerful brigade, and then led three hundred and five hundred people to face up, annihilate four hundred enemies, and the other people fled.

After several such trials, Bo Hua had some understanding of the Nanyang Army's defense and combat effectiveness.

On May 18th, Bo Huai reported to the French government the position of the Nanyang Army ’s defensive positions: "The enemy ’s southern line of defense starts from Hanoi and passes through Xing'an, Taiping, and Haiphong as a curved line of defense. The northern line of defense is from Taiyuan. To Beigan and Langshan provinces. There are many military fortresses in Hanoi and Haiphong, surrounded by trenches, separation walls, and turrets along the coast and riverside areas, which can be fired on gunboats traveling along the river.

The traffic from Ninh Binh to Hanoi is excellent and completely accessible. Although the road from Nanning to Hanoi is slightly inferior, but it is also passable, the other roads are of poor quality, but it is not inaccessible ... "Bo Hua believes that the current military strength in his hands is not enough to successfully win the battle, and It takes some time to prepare. However, the loneliness excited by the revenge is unsatisfied with this behavior, and he pointed out to Bo Huan: "We are hesitant to stay behind fences and trenches for a long time, and give us our troops. Because of the unfortunate events in Hanoi, the prestige that has been severely damaged has caused great damage; any delay in advancing forward will be seen by our enemies as a sign of weakness and weakness, and I beg the general to expedite the plan to retake Hanoi City in order to Redeem the reputation and image of the Governor's House in Europe. "

Due to such pressure, Boshua had to promise to resume the offensive in the northern part of Annan immediately after the second batch of 1,700 African colonial forces nearby arrived in Annan.
