Chapter 775: Barbarians, Devils, and Maozi (3)

And what is in line with the strength is naturally the living style of the two. In the middle of the inner city, the core of power and the castle of Yakutsk is a huge wooden house made of double wood. Outside the wooden house, apart from a long hallway to keep out the cold air, there is not much difference from the other houses in the city.

However, the more prosaic the place, the more unique it is. Don't you see, now those places that are used for what are used have been moved out of scenic spots and high-end places, and are hidden in residential communities. This is not said by an unkind author, this is what the news network said. This is also the case with this house.

Although it looked unremarkable from the outside, when you opened the door, a scarlet Persian carpet immediately appeared inside, shining silver candlesticks and silver cutlery, and even more eye-catching were blonde maidens and precious hounds. And the owner of all this is lying comfortably on a chair, drinking tea from Nanzhong. Of course, the tea naturally cannot be Longjing Biluochun, but the black tea that Europeans love, and white sugar is added to the hot tea according to the Russian custom. In addition, the all-silver tea set in the hands of the two was also bought from Nanzhong.

A pot of tea was gone, and the maid took the tea set away to brew a new pot, and at this time, one of the noble men said: "Andre, although I know that you will be angry, but as a friend you grew up with, I still feel that you are acting like a coward." Although the Khitans are well-equipped and well-trained, as Caesar's descendants, even if we die, we must die with dignity. As for you, first wagged your tail and begged for mercy from the Khitans, and then gave your sister, the beautiful Oliga, to the Khitans. Of course, I won't say anything if all this can be exchanged for great benefits. But your request is just normal trade, so why do we pay such a big price? It's just that you can't do it even if you send a letter on a regular basis. And even more, if this is the case, why should we come with all the armies and riches of the territory? Along the way, nearly a third of the serfs who followed died, although they were worthless, but they all died who worked for us and paid taxes. ”

It is estimated that many people are confused, and it is Khitan and Caesar, have you crossed Mongolia? In fact, it's not, although everyone knows that Maozi is a barbarian, but when it comes to historical origins, people are really related to Eastern Rome, so they often regard themselves as the successors of Rome, don't forget that the word Tsar comes from the Latin Caesar, and this title is inherited from the Eastern Roman Empire. And the name for China has been Khitan until now, of course, if you have to say that Khitan is not Khitan, then I have nothing to say.

Without further ado, in the face of his friend's accusation, Andrei smiled, he looked at his friend with interest and said, "My dear Bilchin, I know that you have been in the woods with Ollee, and you have sworn to my sister that you must marry her, but... At this point, Andrei's face sank: "Whether you or her, you are all Rus nobles, in order to survive, our ancestors were able to send their daughters-in-law and sisters and even their mothers to the tent of the Great Khan, we were whipped outside, today is just to send a woman, you call the sky and grab the earth, are you worthy of your noble status?" ”

Bil's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "The Mongols were also driven away by us with sabers, not by sending women. Seeing that the two were arguing, the local head Khabarov persuaded: "Let's say a few words about both of you, our enemies are the Khitans, not our own." Everyone, Count Bilchin, you can first hear what Baron AndrΓ© has planned. ”

As a result, he didn't expect Bilchin to be furious when he heard this, he didn't dare to be too much to his friend, but he was not so polite to Khabarov, I saw him point at Khabarov with his hand: "Khabarov, may I ask what is your identity in the last three generations, what position is you now, and what qualifications do you have to teach me?" Have you finished harvesting the potatoes outside? There was time to get the potatoes in the cellar, lest the filthy ones have nothing to eat in the winter. "The words were very vicious, and Khabarov's face changed at that time, but he didn't dare to say anything, just respectfully said goodbye, saying that he was going to inspect the defense."

When Khabarov left, Andrei immediately said angrily: "Bilchin, you have gone too far, Khabarov has contributed to the development of the Far East, without him, where did you come from this wooden house to live in." Besides, you are a nobleman, because a woman is angry with his subordinates, and you really have no cultivation. Pillchin sneered: "Andrei, you still have the face to talk to me about cultivation." When you were twelve, you were rolling on the grass with my eldest sister, and when you came home, she had a dark red patch on her tweed skirt. Dare you say it wasn't you who helped her? Later, she got married, and she had a big belly before she got married, so don't tell me it's not yours. It's not a big deal, but I remember the priest said it's better not to do it, I can't go to heaven, but please don't go to heaven and dirty the floor of heaven. ”

(This happy story is not made up by the unkind author himself, and friends with conditions can go and see how the original Russian steel is made.) There is a scene in which Paul and Tonya quarrel, exposing Paul's sexual experience. When he was in his teens, he was given something by an older sister. This kind of big sister looking for a little Zhengtai to be a pioneer seems to be a Russian tradition. οΌ‰

"Priest? Priest's hook: Have you forgotten that we both went to see it together? ”

Andrei looked at Bilchin with an idiotic look and said, "Who are you talking about, I don't know what that bullshit priest you are talking about?" If it weren't for your sake, I would have reported to the church that he had taken the dry road and hurt our manservant. I don't think you are unaware of our tradition, although Khohol mainly scolds the Ukrainians, but the actual meaning is the meaning of the evil seed made by the Catholic priest on the dry road. Even if the church wants to protect it, if I have to make a big deal out of it, I don't believe that damn priest can be safe. ”

After saying this, Bil Qin's face changed, he hurriedly opened the door to see if there was anyone outside the door, and then turned around and said, "You are crazy, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" Have you seen this with your own eyes? Are you sure your manservant didn't strain his muscles at work? Besides, the priest usually treats us well, and the flowery girls and those ripe women have not been introduced to us, and even the money for our expedition was collected by him when he told the people to fight the Khitan demons. Before leaving, he told our subordinates that if he died on the battlefield, he would canonize the martyrs. If it weren't for his encouragement, I'm afraid that he would have run away before he got to this person. ”

Andre snorted when he heard this, but still said stiffly: "I can ignore these things, but it's not right for you to be in the same league with him, I remember the people who came out of the room that day, including you... Pylechin couldn't hold it anymore, and he hurriedly interrupted Andrei and said, "Hello, the maid has arrived at your house, and she can give birth better than a sow, and I have never been as hungry as you are." If you don't mention this beforehand, I haven't talked about you when you were naughty when you were a child. The priest sent the bones of the saint to your house for you to see, but you took the leg bones and fed them to the dogs, for fear that you would be found out. You change to something else, forget it.,Put a turtle shell.,The priest didn't know.,As a result, it was very embarrassing when I introduced it to others.,Fortunately, the priest had an idea and said that the saint's roots are different from ordinary people.,This covered up the past.。。。 ”

"You pig!! You're a pig。。。 In this way, you and I said one sentence, the two scolded each other for an hour, and in the end, there was not a drop of saliva in the mouth of the scolding. Later, the two were too tired, and at the same time, Andre also felt that continuing would only hurt both sides, so he said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, even if I'm wrong." Seeing that Andrei was showing weakness first, Pelchin also got off the donkey and said: "I have something wrong, what are the other two of us doing, how do I think that if I continue to say this, the whole face of Ross will be lost by the two of us." Forget it, it's already like this, you can hear what you can do, and if I'm not satisfied, you can take your sister back at once, and the two of us will go back to Moscow. Andrei took a few deep breaths, then took another cup of tea, and after a while, he asked Bilchin: "What do you say is the city that His Majesty the Tsar wants the most?" ”

"Nonsense." Pelchin immediately returned: "Of course, Constantinople, the dream of the Rus' for many generations is to capture Constantinople and return to the Hagia Sophia under the Patriarch's crown." Seeing this, Andrei smiled and said: "In that case, then what did His Majesty the Tsar fight with the Swedes?" How good it would be to wave his army south to capture Constantinople, why bother gnawing snow dumplings with the Swedes in the north. ”

Because Andrei's tone was slightly mocking, Bilchin was also a little unhappy, and he said with a little anger: "What are you pretending to be confused with me, haven't you ever fought?" The question is whether it can be beaten? Others don't know, you don't know, which time didn't make people punch back. Recently, I heard that the damned Ottomans also hooked up with the Khitans, armed with a special fast gun, and beat the Persians out of the way in the first battle. Those damn dwarf mercenaries beat the Balkan guys like dogs! The castles that are known as strong have become people's pockets in the blink of an eye! His family has accumulated more than ten generations of property and has become a seizure of others, and his wife and daughter lover have become someone else's warm bed! The Mediterranean people also gradually gained the upper hand, and the warships bought from the Khitan beat the Spaniards away, although they were still fighting on the surface, but in fact peace had been negotiated a long time ago. In addition, Crimea is all Tatars, all of them are our sworn enemies, and even if they win, it will not be easy to rule. So the benefits are high, but the risks are too big to bear, so no one wants to gamble. The Swedes, on the other hand, are still ours when they occupy the Rus' homeland, and at the same time they have more heads than dogs, and we don't even have to win, as long as we drag on, sooner or later we will get the land we want. ”

Although Bilchin was as stout as a bear, his mind was inversely proportional to his stature. He said that during the war between Russia and Poland in 1610-1617, Sweden took advantage of Russia's turbulent situation and sent troops to Russia in 1610. Sweden captured Ivangorod, Yam and other places, and the following year occupied Novgorod. The Russian army launched a counterattack in an attempt to regain lost territory, but suffered a crushing defeat. The Swiss army marched into Moscow with victory. In January 1617, the Treaty of Stolbovo was signed, in which Sweden returned Novgorod and several other towns, but deprived Russia of direct access to the Baltic Sea. This means that Russia no longer has the strength to challenge Sweden's regional hegemony. Since ancient times, Russia has been frantically trying to get a warm outlet to the sea. Therefore, they have always held a grudge against Sweden. By the end of the 17th century, during the reign of Peter I of Russia and his sister, there was finally a chance for revenge.

Andrei took a sip of tea and said: "It seems that you are not a complete fool, then I will tell you, for the time being, a war with the Khitans in Heilongjiang is no different from a war with the Ottomans, the end is already doomed, it will definitely be over." Pelchin snorted and said unconvinced: "This is not necessarily, we have five hundred elites who have participated in the war with Poland and Sweden, and we are afraid of the Khitans." Andrei smiled: "My friend, although the Khitans have an army of 1,000 people in Heilongjiang, but they are all equipped with new types of firestart guns, and they all have cuirasses, what about us, all garbage leather muskets, at most a few small cannons, the number is not superior, the weapons are even worse, how to fight?" And what is even more serious than this is that most of the tribes in Heilongjiang are now their people, and they are under their command of Jiedu, and we can't fight a protracted war. This information, but it took my sister a lot of effort to learn from the Khitans, and it is absolutely reliable. ”

Speaking of which, I want to say a digression, although the swallows of the former Soviet Union are famous all over the world, but to say that this kind of method, it is really since ancient times, and it is not a specialty of Maozi. No matter what country in Europe, there has been a history of princesses and pro-peace in the world, and even the Spanish Empire, all of them came like this, surprise or not? Generally speaking, Maozi's achievements are easier to remember, followed by some massacres, but more successful than these are the use of women's titles, trade, etc. to win over local tribal leaders, feudal lords, and so on. These are the true essence of swallows, and they are also the means that Maozi has used to this day. In fact, not only the former Soviet Union, but also the Bald Eagle family is also a good player. The so-called beauty trick is not only the sensory stimulation and temptation brought by a beautiful woman, but money, wine, titles, official positions, corrupt lives, etc., in short, it is the method used by King Wen of Zhou and his son to deal with the king of Shang. Use all human desires to corrupt you and the fighting spirit of your community. Well, it seems that something came to mind again.

Pelchin grinned and said, "If this is according to what you say, then we will make a fart and go back to Moscow." Weapons are inferior, numbers are inferior, materials are inferior, do we expect God to wipe out the Khitans with a thunderbolt? Andre laughed sinisterly: "Hmph, if there is really no way, I won't talk nonsense with you here." Based on the information sent by my sister, I made a targeted plan, in short, there are two types, one is a military plan and the other is a political plan, I don't know which one you want to hear first. ”

"Of course, listen to the military plan first." Pelchin replied. Andrei secretly despised Bilchin in his helpless heart, he was really an elm head, and he knew how to fight, but since everything was said, he had to say the military plan first: "The military plan is actually very simple, the main point is to paralyze first, then raid, then retreat, then ambush, then retreat, and then hold on." The specific plan was that I would send my sister over first, and also send a batch of gifts, so that I could not only understand the information, but also paralyze the Khitans. Now they have basically relaxed their vigilance against us, and have attacked the rebels in the south with their whole army, and the north is mainly guarded by some tribes, the old, weak, sick and a small number of Khitan elites, and the defense is very empty, even if they have a small number of new weapons, they will definitely not be able to withstand our attack. After we succeeded, we took all the supplies and their young women, killed the old, weak, sick and disabled, burned their houses, and then sent the people and materials to the temporary camp for centralized management, and at the same time negotiated with the Khitans, demanding that they pay a ransom and allow us to control the Heilongjiang Valley. Of course, we can pay tribute to them, just like the Mongol Great Khans of the Golden Horde in the past, even if we are nominally wronged, as long as the benefits are in my hands! ”

After listening to Andrei's words, Bilchin was shocked, he never thought that his friend would be so bold and careful, but he suddenly thought of something, so he said: "Good friend, you seem to be thinking too simply, will the Khitans compromise so easily?" Won't they immediately stop their offensive against the rebels in the south and concentrate all their forces, including the barbarians, to fight us? ”

Andrei laughed a few times: "What we want is for them to beat us." But according to my sister's information, the Khitans and the Saurons are two completely different armies, the Khitans rely on supplies and roads and require careful military planning, while the Saurons fight entirely by brute force. If something happens to their tribe, no matter how calm their leader is, his soldiers will definitely ask for immediate reinforcements, because the most important property of a tribe is young women, and once it is gone, the tribe will also perish. Therefore, if the Khitans don't want to force them to rebel, they can only acquiesce to their support first, and then we will ambush them on the road we must pass to ensure a complete victory. ”

Bilchin hesitated a little when he heard this: "I said Andrei, isn't it a bit lacking in chivalry to do this." Andrei snorted disapprovingly: "I want to hear how you used the knightly wind to win the Khitans." Pelchin was speechless, and Andrei continued: "When we win the battle against these Saurons, we will return to Yakutsk with all the supplies, and at the same time write letters to the tribes that support us or neutralize along the way, asking them to cooperate with us in clearing the wilderness, and not to provide supplies to the Khitans, if anyone dares to resist, then those Saurons will be their fate." The rest of the things are very simple, we just need to drink delicious vodka and chat with the girl, and wait for the Khitans to retreat if they can't stand it. When Bilchin heard this, he felt very reasonable, but he was still a little skeptical, and he asked: "Andrei, there is a loophole in your plan, before we left, those tribes must have been obedient, but we are all gone, who dares to guarantee that they will not betray us and join the Khitans?" Andrei nodded and said, "Well, this is the main point of my political plan." Let me ask you, Bilechin, do you think there are any loopholes in the trade policy of the Khitans? Hearing this, Bilchin shook his head and said: "I can't help but see what loopholes there are, people set up trading stations along the river, send merchants or caravans to go to villages to do business, everyone has the opportunity to trade, what loopholes are there?" ”

Andrei shook his head and said, "You're wrong, this is the biggest loophole, and this loophole is that the tribal chieftain has lost control of trade!" Looking at the bewildered Bilchin, AndrΓ© explained: "In a small tribe like the Saurons, usually the chieftain only has the right to get more meat after hunting, and has no additional income. The shaman had income, but it was not under the control of the chief. The largest and most reliable source of income is to trade on behalf of the tribe and profit from it. Now, the Khitans engage in free trade, and everyone can trade directly bypassing the chieftain, and the Khitans only give the chieftain some hardship money symbolically, but this cannot make up for the damage to the political authority of the chief. The privileges that were originally in the hands of the chiefs are gone, which is equivalent to taking away the money and soju in the hands of the chiefs! So, although it was not said, many chiefs were not very satisfied with the matter, but did not say it for the sake of money. Well, we'll give the chiefs what they want. In the future, the furs that were traded with the Khitans were first purchased from them and then resold. We will certainly have to lower the price, but it is only a matter of how they squeeze their own tribesmen, and it is none of our business, and the interests of the chiefs will not be harmed. Once we reach an agreement with the Khitans, I can guarantee that at least seventy percent of the chiefs will be on our side. Pilchin was so pleased to hear that he hurriedly opened a bottle of wine, and then said, "So we should open a bottle of wine to celebrate." Andrei didn't object, he found the cup, and after the wine was full, the two of them clinked glasses to each other and drank a few sips, and Andrei said: "Of course, the Khitans are not completely without opportunities, for example, if they have the ability to cross the dense forest swamp river and build the road to Yakutsk, or if they have the ability to quickly suppress the chieftains who support us, then we will be dead." But... Andre paused for a moment and said, "Do you think the probability of these things happening is higher or that tomorrow is the end of the world?" Pilchin laughed and said, "I would rather believe that tomorrow is the end of the world." After saying that, the two of them applauded and laughed at the same time.
