國朝處置萬象事宜錄
《國朝處置萬象事宜錄》(越南語:Quốc Triều Xử Trí Vạn Tượng Sự Nghi Lục),又稱《國朝處置萬象事宜》,越南阮朝歷史文獻,由乂安官員吳高朗於1827年以漢文編撰。該書提及1827年萬象國王阿弩(即昭阿努)反對暹羅國操縱而起兵,因失利而向阮朝求援,阮朝出兵護送阿弩返國的史實。因老撾、泰國(暹羅)有關該次戰事的記錄稀少或經過改寫,而本書提供的史料可作補充,並對研究當時印支半島(即中南半島)國際關係有參考價值。

成書的背景
《國朝處置萬象事宜錄》的編撰,與印支半島(又稱中南半島)的地緣政治有關。越南鄰近的萬象王國(在今老撾),在18世紀、19世紀初時被暹羅國(今泰國)所控制。到1820年代,有「最後的戰士君王」之稱[1]的萬象國王阿弩(即阿努。書中又稱作「佋阿弩」)不甘於暹羅操縱,乃於1826年(明命七年)起兵襲擊暹人,一度抵達暹羅中部的呵叻、沙拉武里等地。其後暹王拉瑪三世(書中稱作「佛王」)策動反攻,於1827年(明命八年)擊敗萬象軍,阿弩逃到越南乂安(即義安)。[2]阿弩向阮朝求助,明命帝得悉後,派軍護送阿弩回萬象。阿弩返國後再與暹人作戰,但又遭失敗,再向阮廷要求增援。明命見阿弩再時常出戰但無所獲,便不再出兵協助,最後阿弩失敗,被俘送暹羅,其反抗暹人的行動亦以失敗告終。[3]
本書作者吳高朗(又作高朗、黎高朗),字令甫,古藤人,號圓齋。[4]在阮廷派軍到萬象時,吳高朗為乂安鎮書記,故此亦參與其事,做過「繕草傳文」[5]、將哀牢文件「演成華字(漢字)」[6]等工作。1827年10月18日(明命八年農曆八月二十八日),吳高朗受禮部之命,將阮朝處理萬象事宜的資料,編成報告,亦即本書,並由阮廷定命為《國朝處置萬象事宜錄》。[7]
內容概述
關於本書的內容,「越南漢喃文獻目錄資料庫系統檢索」裡有簡明的描述,說它是阮朝「對暹羅討伐萬象一事的處置,即讓萬象向越南求救」。[8]
從現存的內容可知,它的卷一起自1827年(明命八年)農曆五月,乂安鎮向阮廷通報「暹羅兵追擊萬象國王(阿弩)」[9],萬象人「懇請我朝廷容許居駐」。[10]阮朝君臣經過商議後,決定派兵「將萬象國王及所屬人民,安插於貢蠻三峝地分」,又「擇地駐扎,嚴加巡防」,以備暹軍來犯。[11]在出兵之初,阮朝明命帝持觀望態度,曾說過暹羅對萬象的征伐「尚屬傳聞,未為確鑿」[12],並由於越軍在該地「間有患病,或物故者」,明命覺得「虛費機籌」而憂惱。[13]其後經過調查,證實萬象國土確已被攻佔,「暹兵扎在萬象、樂凡地面」,越方乃在乂安為萬象國王眷屬修築公館安置。[14]
卷二提到,由於萬象形勢嚴峻,阮廷遂進行外交調停,在該年底「投書暹將,並護送蠻人(萬象人)歸國」。[6]另外還有暹羅將領臘蘇帕伐迪(Phraya Ratchasuphawadi,書中稱作「醜頗禍𠫾」)給越方的書信,信中提出「阿弩為臣不忠,萌心背叛,致暹王遣兵追拿」[15]、芒族部落「為阿弩之所逼勒,阿弩若此過動,致各芒困苦弗獲寧居」等指控。後面部份的內容,現存抄本已缺。[16]
史料價值
據東南亞史學者Mayoury、Pheuiphanh Ngaosrivathana所提及,老撾留下的阿弩王起兵資料甚少,而暹羅軍隊取得的老撾相關文獻也少,而暹羅的文獻記錄又曾被改寫。而《國朝處置萬象事宜錄》把阿弩事件按日記事,資料充足可信,可補史料不足,並讓後世讀者從中了解阮氏朝廷、曼谷王朝及老撾人等勢力如何作出決策的情況。[17]此外,本書還可反駁後世政客的老撾「受越南控制」的觀點,相反老撾大部分地區被曼谷王朝直接控制,阮廷對此也無可奈何。[18]
在本書裡還可一瞥當時印支地區的生活習俗,如書中記載阮廷向阿弩王贈予的米、豬隻、魚露,暹羅將領招待越南使節的乾果、糯稻等資料,可反映當時生產情況。[19]
流傳情況
本書的流傳情況,從1884年的《內閣目錄》裡可知它原本著錄有五冊,為1868年集賢院購進。[20]在後世有抄本流傳,頁數165頁。[8]在法屬時期,法國遠東學院取得抄本一份,內有165頁(兩卷),編號為「A. 949」,並製作微縮膠卷副本。後來北越(越南民主共和國)取得該抄本,收藏在越南社會科學委員會東南亞研究部。1977年,越南社會科學委員會委任學者Do Thi Hao譯成越南語版本。而微縮膠卷副本則被法國遠東學院收藏。此外,南越時期(越南共和國)亦有學者收藏本書的抄本及越譯手抄本。[21]
東南亞史學者Mayoury、Pheuiphanh Ngaosrivathana指出,此書在後世的推廣和引用不多,原因之一是它的文字艱深,不易閱讀,並在2001年將本書譯成英語,並收錄兩卷本的漢文手抄本的(卷一完整,卷二有缺),成書出版,書名為《Vietnamese Source Materials concerning The 1827 Conflict between the Court of Siam and the Lao Principalities》,由日本東洋文庫東亞文化研究中心出版。[22]
