The Nguyễn clan, also known as the Nguyễn lords (Vietnamese: Chúa Nguyễn, 主阮), was a feudal noble clan that ruled southern Vietnam (known as Đại Việt at the time) during the Revival Lê dynasty from the mid-16th to the late 18th century. It was a forerunner to the Nguyễn dynasty, the last Vietnamese dynasty which unified and ruled the country during the 19th century.[1]
The clan's historic capital was the city of Phú Xuân, which was later renamed to Huế and became the Nguyễn dynasty's capital.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
In 1725, a Nguyễn clan official met with the Qing businesswoman Lee Huiyin in Phú Xuân. Aware of the clan's ambitions to conquer the territory of the Khmer Kingdom, Lee offered to lend her support to their cause, revealing that she was in possession of a powerful artifact that would allow the Nguyễn lords to rule all of Indochina. In return, the businesswoman only asked for the clan's aid in finding and retrieving a similar artifact from Angkor.[3]
The official was skeptical of Lee's claims, prompting the businesswoman to question if the Nguyễn clan's might was as great as she had been led to believe. Insulted, the official showed Lee the strength of the clan's military, boasting that it was far superior to that of the Trịnh lords in the north. He then asked to see the artifact Lee had spoken of, but the businesswoman said that she could not simply parade it around. However, she assured the official that she had the means to uphold her promise, being in command of not just a sizable fleet, but also having the Chinese Assassins Xiao Han, Liu Qing, and Xue Yan as her allies. Just as the three Assassins revealed themselves, catching the official by surprise, Lee invited him to discuss the terms of their agreement.[3]
