Hearing Bagration's sigh, Dokhturov turned his head and glared at Bagration, who stood up and walked straight out of the chamber as if he hadn't seen it.

The decision on this matter was not in the hands of them who were at the front - in Novo Astrakhan, but in the hands of the tsar in distant Tsaritsyn.

Vorontsov just came to ventilate and report the news, and at the same time to take a good look at the real situation of them who were surrounded, and it would be too off-topic to go and make noise at this time to surrender or not to surrender.

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

With such news in line with the behavior of the Chinese, it is obvious that Russia, the two most evil enemies, they cannot fight.

This gave many Russian soldiers confidence in victory. However, some clear-minded people understand a truth very well - Ottoman is Ottoman, and China is China.

Although they are on the same side, they must not be completely defined as one.

At the same time, a delegation composed of a handful of natives from the North Caucasus also traveled thousands of miles to Astrakhan to meet His Royal Highness the 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 come from many indigenous peoples in the Caucasus, and their population is generally small and their status is very low.

Don't look at the names of these people have been firmly imprinted in the Russian style, but they are not the top of their respective ethnic groups, and those real leaders have either died clean under the butcher's knife of Tsarist Russia, or, like Bagration, completely integrated into Russia.

That Bagration was born into the royal family of Georgia, otherwise how could he have the honorific title of prince early on.

Under Russian rule, the upper classes have all been branded as Russian, whether they are completely naturalized like Bagration or left to become part of the Russian ruling class. When Chen Han invaded the North Caucasus, many families fled further north, and they also strongly supported the Russians financially, materially, and even humanly.

Of course, there are some people who turn around and flatter China, but there will definitely be some people who are extremely tame on the surface and hate China in their hearts. For such a person, once discovered, it is a killer.

Russian rule in the North Caucasus was based on cruelty and bloodshed, murder and slaughter of villages were commonplace, and high-handed methods forced everyone to choose submission, and then the Russian order was established.

The Chen Han army, which has entered here now, has almost implemented this rule. The only thing that has changed is that the Wehrmacht will expel these people to the greatest extent possible, instead of using bayonets to force the local natives to voluntarily hand over the murderer or scapegoat, and make the murderer's neighbors and relatives 'Zhulian Nine Clans'. They will also be ruthless, regardless of the old and young, and so on and so forth, all the natives will be obedient.

People are afraid of death. In that way, the 'sense of trust' between local indigenous people can be broken to a great extent. When the local natives have no basis of trust in each other, even if they resist, it is a disease of ringworm.

What's more, those who really hate the Chinese have already risen up to resist, or fled to the north with the great flow, and those local natives who have moved to the mountains or forests in droves are unwilling to leave their homes, so they can only choose to obey.

A large area of the North Caucasus still belonged to the Seven Khanates, and the latter was unwilling to let everyone leave the North Caucasus, they did not have as much confidence as Chen Han, and hoped that there would not be a single alien race in their 'territory'.

After an initial 'madness', the Wehrmacht, after consulting the Seven Khanates, put control of large areas into the hands of the Seven Khanates.

The latter soon came into contact with the indigenous upper classes, and even reached an agreement to a certain extent, except that the Seven Khanates knew that they still had a dear Chinese father on their heads, and it was like the head of the family, and everything had to be approved by him.

So, a delegation was formed.

And the Seven Khanates did not purely co-opt the indigenous upper class, while forgetting the lower grassroots. They referred to some of Chen Han's resettlement policies and immigration policies, and came up with a set of strategies that can be described as 'good governance'. If this is really carried out thoroughly, many poor indigenous people in the area who have nothing will be grateful to them. At least their arrival has allowed them to pay less in taxes and gain more for their indigenous families.

The Russians had been defeated, the rule of the Seven Khanates had not yet been established, and they were now in need of Chinese support.

"There is no need to be merciful to those people. You rule here by your respective republics and the indigenous people here, not by the support of these chiefs and nobles. Their strength is now too small to be counted, and it will only be an obstacle to you. ”

In the room, Chen Ding said to the king of Turgat Khan beside him, Tseling Namzal. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of cantaloupe. If we want to talk about Xinjiang and Central Asia, in addition to the cotton cultivation that is destined to develop, there are more melons and fruits. The melons, fruits, and grapes here are really sweet.

Late-ripening cantaloupe is very durable, and as long as it is stored properly, it can be stored in winter. It is a fruit that Chen Ding loves very much.

Tserin Namzal was one of the activists of the Russo-Russian war, and this time the harvest of the Turghat Khanate was also destined to be the richest of the seven khanates, and most importantly, they returned to the Volga. It felt like they were back in the paywall, a sense of home, and it was wonderful.

But if Turghut wants to gain a foothold in the lower Volga again, they must understand some of the local natives. It's a pity that Lao Wubaxi is gone, and all the characters of the Turghut Khanate are gone, otherwise Tseling Namzal wouldn't need to look at the thick stack of materials in front of him and have a headache.

This is the information that the Military Intelligence Agency has collected over the years, and the harvest of the Wehrmacht that has entered after the start of the war. It must be said that the composition here is complicated, but in addition to taking out the Russians, it is simple to say that it is simple.

The complication is that they want to live in peace for a long time, and the green religion within the Kazakh Three Khanates still exists, and in the future, the influence of the Ottomans will definitely penetrate in a steady stream across the Black Sea, at least in faith. And the simple thing is that it is as vicious and brutal as Tsarist Russia, and it uses cruel methods to silence all the natives. With Chen Han as the support behind them, they can also connect with the Crimean Peninsula through the Black Sea. Moreover, the southeast of the Kazakh Three Khanates is the base camp of Tantra, and the Gurkha continues to the south. It was also a boost from the Mongol Khanate.

In order for the Turghat Khanate to truly live in peace and stability, there are still many difficulties, and these difficulties need to be overcome and resolved one by one by the Khan king Tsering Namzal. This is also the duty of the Khan.

No matter how many countries there have been in Central Asia, in terms of faith, in addition to the original Orthodox Christianity and the Green Religion, we must now add a Esoteric Religion to straighten out this point, and then straighten out the sects and religions here, and the taxes will be lighter, and it will be logical to subdue here. But the difficulty lies in the front, and how many countries have collapsed at this point throughout the ages.

This place is so close to the Ottomans, and the current Ottomans are not the Ottomans who have been pressed to the ground by Russia again and again, and the military strength has increased their prestige in the circle of true God belief day by day. And even if it was the Ottoman Sultan of the original plane, how could he reach into the frontier and hold it with Aguba, let alone now.

However, the Turgot Khanate was not without support, and China was now the most ironclad and important ally of the Ottomans. China's role for the Ottomans was irreplaceable. The reason for this is simple, and the Ottomans must have been suspicious of Turgot because of this.

Tuileries Palace, Paris, France.

Talleyrand was a lucky man who accompanied Napoleon to receive the visiting British Foreign Secretary, Richard Colley Wesley. As a non-partisan man, he held the thankless role of Foreign Secretary in the darkest years of the British Empire, but as a non-partisan man, he was fortunate to have come to such an important position.

And the luckiest of all, not long after his absence, Wesley once again ascended the throne of foreign secretary.

The explosion in front of the Reichstag cost Great Britain its own de facto prime minister, as well as two excellent diplomats, George Canning and Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlerea.

So after a busy period of work, Great Britain found that the only person who has the ability and qualifications to serve as foreign secretary in British politics is Wesley. Although Wesley's predecessor, the young Henry Bathurst, was caught up in an unsolved mystery for the ages?

In 1809, Benjamin Bathurst, a relative and friend of Henry Bathurst, who had just become Foreign Secretary for two months, mysteriously disappeared in full view of the public as he walked out of a small hotel in Germany.

The third son of Bishop Henry Benjamin Batherstrovich, his disappearance/death [the bandit robbers in Germany at the time] put Henry Bathurst in great trouble, and after resigning as Foreign Secretary, Henry Bathurst had no intention of returning to the world.

So, the post of foreign secretary fell to Wesley again.

The man of good fortune was a man of peace who was adamantly opposed to Napoleon's move to unify Europe by force, so he always supported British actions on the Iberian Peninsula. But after Napoleon wanted to abandon 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, where he and Wesley were good friends, and it seemed that Talleyrand was about to become a supporter of Napoleon again when his ideas had changed. This is a diplomat with great political skills!
