Chapter 570: Traitor
Seeing the hot and good-looking Tiele girl, the expression on Cheng Yue's face became even more gloomy, and subconsciously, she leaned closer to Zhao Guanhou, trying to prove her status. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Guanhou was not as close to this girl as Cheng Yue imagined, he only politely stretched out his hand to signal, and then asked, "Why are you here?" I thought that our friendship had been buried in the cold wind and snow outside the gate. ”
"Don't say that, it will make me sad, I always thought that our friendship would be like the ice of Siberia, which will last forever. Is that your wife? Oh, I have to say, she's ...... Lovely. "Since parting from the gate, I thought there would be no time to see each other again, but I didn't expect Mia to appear in front of me again. Compared with when you are in the capital or outside the gates, it is more radiant and the color is better than before.
Although she couldn't understand what the two of them were saying, just looking at Mia's provocative expression towards herself, Cheng Yue instinctively felt hostility, and what followed was self-shame. Compared with this foreign woman, her appearance is really a big difference, so it's no wonder that her husband's heart is not on her side. If the Su family or the Yang family from the Bada Hutong are here, it is best to be Mrs. Songjiang, so you don't have to be afraid of her......
Zhao Guanhou had already hugged Mia at this time, then sat down, and stretched out his hand to Cheng Yue, "Sit beside me." You are my wife, you should be polite when meeting foreigners, but you don't have to be contemptuous. ”
When Cheng Yue heard the words Mrs., her heart warmed, she nodded, and held her husband's hand tightly.
"Miss Mia, I don't know what advice I have to come here, should it be just to comment on my wife?"
"Of course. We are old friends, I heard that you are in Shaanxi, I came to visit my old friend, or my lover, shouldn't it? Don't forget, you messed up my wedding. Mia made an angry expression and then said:
"Those who came with me are all nobles of our country, and this land is their territory. As long as you cooperate with them, I believe that it will be very helpful to you in the war. Turn...... I think, you know what it will be like. ”
"I'm sorry, I really don't understand, like now we are talking about the land issue. As far as I know, Shaanxi is a communist territory, when did it become the territory of Tiele? When was this treaty made, I don't know? In my barracks, there are observation groups from various countries, so why don't I invite them to come and discuss it together, and see if anyone remembers when this agreement was made. ”
The few people behind Mia were all wearing thick leather coats and hoods on their heads, and even half of their faces were tightly blocked, and they couldn't see their facial features clearly. There were several large braziers in the tent, and the temperature was so high that such thick clothes could not be worn. Several people took off their coats and found that they were not young.
These people have different appearances, but in their eyes, they all have the same shrewdness and fierceness, and there is a murderous aura that is rare among nobles.
Among them, a tall man with a stubble on his face took Mia's place. "Your Excellency, my name is Ivan, Ivan? Mihaszeevich? Romanov. He is the chairman of Xintai Foreign Bank founded by Tiele in Shaanxi. It is an honour for me to meet Your Excellency. Miss Mia has had a relationship with you in the past, but there seems to be a misunderstanding, and I am here to make our point clear. Those of us sincerely hope to reach a cooperation with Your Excellency, and I think this is a very beneficial thing for both of us. ”
"I think you should report where you belong first. Is it the royalist party, or the uncle Wang party. The current Tiele Empire, I can't say who the real leader is, I have to figure out who I'm dealing with first. ”
The war outside the border ended with the victory of Fuso, followed by a stock turmoil, which evaporated the funds used by the tsar to suppress the domestic uprising, and the successive blows finally led to a catastrophe that swept Tieler. Among the nobility, the insurgents, named after the Decembrists, launched an attack, successfully assassinated the old tsar, and installed the tsar's younger brother to inherit the throne. Began to follow the example of the Tessie countries and changed the state system of Tiele.
Abolish serfdom, implement the constitutional monarchy of Taixi, reform the economy, integrity, and military, and create a new country with a new look. The new Tsar and his supporters, holding high the banner of change, bravely challenged the old system. They are hopeful for the future and responsible for their country, but they also neglect one very important thing: the military.
Military power was always in the hands of Nicholas II's uncle, and when the flames of change finally burned on the prince's head, and wanted to strip him of control over the army, confiscate the farms from him, and turn the serfs into freemen, the prince resolutely chose to raise the flag of rebellion. As a result of his many years of control of the army, he had a loyal number of men, compared to which the Decembrists controlled too few troops.
What they have is a large number of serfs and low-level people who are brave, enthusiastic and dedicated, but lack military literacy. In fact, the Decembrists themselves did not get along well with these supporters, and the outcome of the war was self-evident.
The new tsar died from a glass of poisoned wine, and the prince was crowned, ascended to the throne of the emperor and began to hunt down the Decembrists. In addition to the Decembrists themselves, their relatives and supporters could be sent to the gallows or die at the hands of the Cossacks at any time.
Killings and arrests, assassinations and rebellions have become the main tone of Tieler in the past two years, and as a result, his influence on China has dropped significantly. Ren is Dajin fought upside down, and Tiele didn't play anything.
Zhao Guanhou was not too clear about the belonging of these nobles, so naturally he couldn't talk about the next communication. Ivan did not hide it, he said categorically: "We are loyal to the Tsar, and even more loyal to Tieler, and we are not at odds with the king-killer who stole the throne." Each of us swore that one day, we would plunge a sharp dagger into the chest of that thief! ”
"I see, Miss Mia, I can't believe that you are now working for the Ge Ming. What about your old boss, is he on the same front as you now, or is he on the same page? ”
Mia smiled indifferently, "Who said that?" He's a good chameleon, the kind of person who doesn't suffer in any era. Tiele is big, maybe we'll never get a chance to meet, right? Okay, now we can talk about cooperation, right? ”
"Talk? How to talk about it? I've been in Shaanxi for so long, why did you come to contact me now, this seems to be lacking in sincerity, right? ”
Ivan shook his head, "Please understand, we are helpless." You are well aware of our current situation, and we must be cautious and not invest lightly. One failure can lead to a catastrophe. Let alone...... We ourselves have a heavy responsibility, which determines that we must choose a reliable strong person to cooperate with, because we have no chance of going back. ”
The faces of several other nobles were equally ugly, and from the current situation, the Decembrists were clearly on the inferior side. So much so that the remnants of the party can only be cautious and try to hide their identities. Otherwise, what awaits you will inevitably be ruined.
Mia said: "After your country implemented the republican system, you also treated the clan well, which makes us feel very gratified. I hope you can understand the feelings of we, the loyal subordinates of the tsar. We are not afraid of sacrifice, but we also want it to be worthwhile. Like now, we can walk into your tent and talk to you about a deal, which in itself is risky. ”
"Of course, if I arrest you and hand you over to Minister Tieler, maybe he will be able to provide more than you."
Zhao Guanhou sneered, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, but he saw that these nobles were expressionless, neither angry nor panicked, as if they had been ready to sacrifice themselves at any time since the moment they walked into the barracks.
Ivan said: "For the sake of the strength and prosperity of your motherland, you are willing to sacrifice your life, which is not the privilege of the people of your country. We are also willing to sacrifice everything we have for the development of Tieler. So you need not fear us with death, for we are ready to sacrifice when we swear under the Twin Eagles and gamble everything for the future of Tieler. ”
"Well, it seems that I underestimated the determination of the people with lofty ideals to sacrifice, and I apologize to everyone. Now, let's talk about the content of the transaction, what you can give me, and what you want me to provide. ”
"Intelligence, all the information about the rebels." "You may not like it, but it's true. For Shaanxi, we know this land better than you do. Including the high-scale military map of Shaanxi, we have already drawn it ten years ago, and it is much more accurate than the map of Shaanxi that you use yourself. We have learned that your army used its own maps, and they did it very well. At the same time, your caravans are also surveying and mapping everywhere, but we can save you this time while ensuring that you are satisfied. Within the rebels, too, we have our own connections and can always get you a hand. Also, like the civilian army officer you killed today, don't you want to know who it is? ”
"I have no interest in a dead person, whoever he is, he will be dead after all."
Mia shrugged, "Well, this is my gift." The officer you killed was the righteous son of the People's Army officer Geng Zhi, and the person Guo Jian once swore to take good care of. Geng Zhi helped Guo Jian a lot after he raised his army, and he was once Guo Jian's chief of staff. Even his sacrifice was to protect Guo Jian, so Guo Jian had a great responsibility to him, the only righteous son. At the same time, Geng Zhi is in the people's army, and he also has the appeal of not losing Guo Jian, if you kill his son, the people's army in the city will fight you to the end. It is conceivable that in the future, field battles will become more frequent, and you will need to deploy a large number of troops to deal with the cluster charge of the civilian army. And behind you, there are attacks by more than twice the total number of civilian reinforcements than you, are your troops enough? ”
"Miss Mia, war is not a game of numbers plus or minus, otherwise, now you should be negotiating with the Jing Xia Demon, not with me. As far as I know, the rebels have been able to grow to this day because of your funding. And your country has always had a habit of financing our opponents. Give them money and armament, and support them to fight against the Zhengfu army. ”
"This is what any powerful country should do to its neighbors." Ivan did not hesitate to admit this: "If your country becomes strong, it will be a great threat to Tieler. Do everything you can to weaken your neighbor, this is what every responsible king does. There is nothing wrong with this. So, now is the time for the Kyoraka government to do something similar, to weaken your neighbors and finance the naysayers. Moreover, it is precisely because we supply the rebels that we have a strong enough grasp of them. We can create them, we can destroy them, everything is within our control. ”
He coughed twice and pointed to his pocket, "There's a document in there that records where a batch of supplies is stored. The ...... of those supplies It's very secretive, including some of it is stored in an underground warehouse. Without our guidance, it would have been difficult for your army to find them on their own. In addition, we can provide a large number of food, cotton clothing, to help you solve the pressure on materials. As for the price, it must be beyond the reach of aid from other countries. ”
"And what do you want?"
"We don't want much, we just hope that Shandong can accept a small part of our families."
There was a haze in Mia's eyes, "We can sacrifice our lives for our ideals at any time, but our family, they ...... It shouldn't end up like that. Tieler's treatment of the aristocracy has become cruel, the rude, dirty, and lowly Cossack cavalry, and even the possession of noble noble women, the dignity of the nobility has been lost. When the rights and interests of the nobility could not be guaranteed, the results of the commoners were self-evident. We need to give them a safe place to hide, a place that is noble, civilized, modern, respectful of the nobility, and protects the dignity of the nobility. Shandong is the best choice. ”
Ivan also said: "Our family members will have travel expenses on them, and they will not occupy too many resources in Shandong." As long as Your Excellency agrees not to extradite them back to China, the Empire's forces in the northwest will all serve your army. In addition to supplies, there is also intelligence, as well as manpower. Even the forces of Gansu and other northwestern provinces, we can open our services to your army. ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded, "I can consider this question." But I want to ask first, why did you choose me instead of Guo Jian. ”
"Because of Chang'an, because of Qiangbai. We will only choose to cooperate with civilized people, and Guo Jian or other generals of the People's Army are obviously hostile to the nobles. They don't care about the decency and dignity of the nobility, and there is no way to continue. I believe that as long as we cooperate, then soon, you will be able to taste the wine of victory, enjoy flowers and applause. ”
"I want to ...... There is no need to rush flowers and applause, in such weather, a good glass of wine and a fat sheep are more suitable. Madam, go and tell the room, prepare wine and meat, and entertain these VIPs! (To be continued.) )
