Dominate the Country

Hearing Bagration's sigh, Dokhturov turned his head and glared at Bagration, who seemed not to see it, stood up and walked straight out of the conference room.

The decision-making power of this matter was not in the hands of them who were at the front line - New Astrakhan, but in the hands of the Tsar in the distant Tsaritsyn.

Vorontsov only came to inform them, and at the same time to take a good look at the real situation of them being surrounded. At this time, clamoring about surrender or not was too far off the topic.

However, Vorontsov's arrival also brought good news to Bagration and others - there was a civil strife in the Ottoman Empire. Selim III, the guy who gave Russia a headache, was finished.

Such news combined with the behavior of the Chinese, it was obvious that they could not fight these two most evil enemies of Russia.

This gave many Russian soldiers confidence in victory. But some clear-headed people understood one truth very well - the Ottoman Empire is the Ottoman Empire, and China is China.

Although they are in the same camp, they must not be completely defined as one.

At the same time, a delegation of North Caucasian natives also traveled thousands of miles to Astrakhan and met the honorable Crown Prince of the Chen Han Empire.

Before these people came to Astrakhan, Chen Ding had already obtained the specific details of the delegation.

They came from many indigenous ethnic groups in the Caucasus region, with a small population and a very low status.

Although these people's names have been firmly imprinted with the Russian style, they are not the top leaders of their respective ethnic groups. Those real top leaders either died cleanly under the butcher knife of the Tsarist Russia, or like Bagration, they were completely integrated into Russia.

Bagration was born in the royal family of Georgia, otherwise how could he have been honored as a prince so early.

Under Russian rule, whether it is completely naturalized like Bagration, or left in the local area to become a member of the Russian ruling class, the upper class here has been marked with Russian traces. When Chen Han invaded the North Caucasus, many families fled further north, and they also strongly supported the Russians with financial resources, material resources, and even manpower.

Of course, there are some people who turn around and flatter China, but there are definitely some people who are extremely docile on the surface, but hate China in their hearts. For such people, once they are discovered, they will be killed.

The Russian rule in the North Caucasus is based on cruelty and blood. Killing people and slaughtering villages is commonplace. High-pressure means force everyone to choose to surrender, and then the Russian order is established.

The Chen Han army that has entered here now is almost the same. The only change is that the National Defense Force will expel these people to the greatest extent, instead of using bayonets to force the local natives to voluntarily hand over the murderer or scapegoat, and "punish the murderer's neighbors and relatives". They will also be ruthless and kill them regardless of age. After doing this again and again, all the natives will be obedient.

People are afraid of death. Using that method can largely disintegrate the "sense of trust" between local natives. When the local natives have no trust in each other, even if they resist, it will be a minor disease.

Moreover, those who really hated the Chinese had already risen up in resistance, or fled to the north with the tide. Those local natives who moved to the mountains or forests in groups were unwilling to leave their homes, so they could only choose to obey.

A large area of ​​the North Caucasus still belongs to the Seven Khanates, who are unwilling to let everyone leave the North Caucasus. They are not as confident as Chen Han, hoping that there will be no foreigners in their "territory".

After experiencing the initial "madness", the National Defense Forces, after consulting the Seven Khanates, handed over the control of a large area to the Seven Khanates.

The latter soon established contact with the upper class of the indigenous people, and even reached an agreement to a certain extent. However, the Seven Khanates still knew that they still had a dear Chinese father above them, who was like the head of a family, and everything had to be approved by him.

So, a delegation was established.

The Seven Khanates did not simply win over the upper class of the indigenous people and forget the grassroots at the bottom. They referred to some of Chen Han's resettlement policies and immigration policies and came up with a set of strategies that could be called "good governance". If this is really implemented thoroughly, the local poor indigenous people who have nothing will be grateful to them. At least their arrival has reduced the taxes paid by these indigenous families and increased their gains.

The Russians were driven away, and the rule of the Seven Khanates has not yet been established. They now need China's support.

"There is no need to be kind to those people. You rule here relying on your own republic and the indigenous people here, not the support of these heads and nobles. Their current power is so weak that it does not need to be counted, and it will only be an obstacle to you."

In the room, Chen Ding said to the Torghut Khan Tsering Namzale beside him. While speaking, he handed over a piece of Hami melon. If you want to talk about what is good about Xinjiang and Central Asia, in addition to the cotton planting that is destined to develop, there are more fruits and vegetables. The fruits and grapes here are really sweet.

The late-ripening Hami melon is very durable. As long as it is stored properly, it can be kept in winter. It is a fruit that Chen Ding likes very much.

Celing Namzal was one of the activists in the war against Russia. This time, the harvest of the Torghut Khanate was destined to be the most abundant among the seven Khanates. The most important thing was that they returned to the Volga River. This feeling was like they had returned to Xinjiang before, a feeling of going home, which was wonderful.

But since the Torghut wanted to gain a foothold in the lower reaches of the Volga River again, they had to understand some of the local natives clearly. It was a pity that the old Ubashi was gone, and all the characters who had experienced the vicissitudes of the Torghut Khanate in those years were gone, otherwise Celing Namzal would not have to look at the thick pile of information in front of him.

This is the information that the Military Intelligence Bureau has collected about this generation over the years, as well as the harvest of the National Defense Army that broke in after the war started. It is all here. It has to be said that the composition here is very complicated, but apart from taking out the Russians, it is also simple to say.

The complicated thing is that they want to live in peace for a long time, and the Muslim faith in the three Kazakh khanates still exists. In the future, the influence of the Ottomans will definitely penetrate across the Black Sea, at least in terms of faith. The simple thing is to be as vicious and brutal as Tsarist Russia, using cruel means to silence all the natives. The Torghuts have Chen Han as their support, and they can also connect with the Crimean Peninsula through the Black Sea. Moreover, the southeast of the three Kazakh khanates is the base camp of Tantric Buddhism, and further south is Gorkha. Now the number of Tantric believers in Gorkha is almost catching up with the Asan religion. This is also a boost for the Mongolian Khanate.

If the Torghut Khanate wants to truly live in peace for a long time, there are still many difficulties, and these difficulties need to be overcome and resolved by the Khan Tsering Namjale one by one. This is also the responsibility of being a Khan.

No matter how many countries there are in Central Asia, in terms of faith, in addition to the original orthodox religion and Muslim religion, now we must add a secret religion. If we sort this out, and then sort out the religions and religions here, and reduce taxes, it will be natural to conquer this place. But the difficulty lies in the front. Many countries have collapsed at this point throughout history.

This place is so close to the Ottoman Empire. The current Ottoman Empire is not the Ottoman Empire that was pressed to the ground and beaten hard by Russia again and again. The strong military force has made their prestige in the true God belief circle grow day by day. Moreover, even the Ottoman Sultan in the original time and space could not reach into the Xinjiang and hold hands with Yakub Beg, let alone now.

However, the Torghut Khanate is not without support. China is now the most iron and important ally of the Ottoman Empire. China's role in the Ottoman Empire is irreplaceable. This is very simple. The Ottomans will inevitably be wary of the Torghut Empire because of this.

France, Paris, Tuileries Palace.

Talleyrand accompanied Napoleon to meet with the visiting British Foreign Secretary Richard Colley Wesley, who was a very lucky man. As a non-partisan, he played a thankless role as Foreign Secretary during the darkest years of the British Empire, but as a non-partisan, he was very lucky to be in such an important position.

And the most fortunate thing was that not long after he left office, Wesley ascended the throne of Foreign Secretary again.

The explosion in front of the Parliament House caused Great Britain to lose its actual prime minister and two extremely outstanding diplomats-George Canning and Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh.

So after a busy period, Great Britain found that the only person who was capable and qualified to serve as Foreign Secretary in the current British political arena was Wesley. Although Wesley's predecessor, the young Henry Bathurst, was caught in an eternal unsolved mystery?

In 1809, Benjamin Bathurst, a relative of Henry Bathurst who had just become Foreign Minister for two months, disappeared in public when he walked out of a small hotel in Germany. It can be said to be an unsolved mystery.

Benjamin Bathurst was the third son of Henry, Bishop of Norwich. His disappearance/death [there were many robbers in Germany at that time] put Henry Bathurst in big trouble. After resigning as Foreign Minister, Henry Bathurst had no intention of returning to the arena.

So, the position of Foreign Minister fell on Wesley again.

This lucky man was a pacifist. He firmly opposed Napoleon's move to unify Europe by force, so he always supported Britain's actions on the Iberian Peninsula. But after Napoleon gave up the idea of ​​unifying Europe by force and changed his mind to hope for peace with Britain, Wesley quickly praised Napoleon as a good man.

Talleyrand returned to Paris. He and Wesley were good friends. When Napoleon's ideas changed, Talleyrand seemed to become his supporter again. He was a diplomatic expert with superb political skills!
