Taking a sip of the mare's milk wine that the Bogda soldiers had brought in earlier, Ablin continued to pace back and forth in his tent with his hands behind his back, so that his thoughts could be clearer and his mind more nimble.

After a few laps, Ablin further thought about-

The Chinese are the best at using the so-called "harmony", and I wonder if the Bogda Emperor, who had just conquered the Ming Dynasty and entered the Central Plains, would still be as good at playing those Mongol Tatars between the metacarpal bones as all the Chinese emperors before him? That's critical!

Because when it comes to this "harmony", then the advantages of the Chinese are even more indisputable and obvious. For decades, no matter how hard and soft the central government in Moscow and the two overseers in Siberia were, or killed with sabers, whipped with horses, curried favor with bread, and indoctrinated with their "Orthodox" [Orthodox Christianity], the effect on the many indigenous peoples scattered throughout Siberia was never satisfactory!

Especially after arriving in Eastern Siberia, the local aborigines seem to cherish and revere the Chinese Empire in the south, but they stay away from the Russians, and even hate them to the extreme. If the Bogda Emperor really sent a large army, these people would definitely spare no effort to support the Qing army. As for the Russians, it is very likely that they will attack them en masse to vent the hatred and humiliation that have accumulated over the years!

In this way, the Qing army's dispatch from Lake Baikal will have a lot to do in any direction to the "southeast, northwest, and northwest." There is only one prerequisite, and that is that they have enough soldiers here......

Thinking of this, Ablin choked and lamented. I was almost cursing to myself.

As for the number of Chinese soldiers, I have not yet found out what the number of Chinese soldiers is. It's all to blame on that dead-eyed junior officer, Unqi, and his immediate superior, the shrewd five-hundred! In the past few months, they have not let themselves know the details. In other words, on the shores of Lake Baikal, whether he was the only one of his troops to go out to reconnoitre, or whether the army was widely deployed, I Ablin did not know anything!

But how can I be ignorant? It's about the interests of Moscow, or the tsar's mourning! Well, to be honest, I don't care about any of that. I care. It's just where I stand with them, and the benefits I've made, and the benefits I might achieve in the future! Allah is above, I am a merchant from Bukhara! Profit is my only insistence, except to worship Allah Allah!

Look at it now. I can only wear a pair of pants with that Tsar Alexei I. Because there is only Tobolsk in Russia. to give me so much land and property. As soon as it falls into the hands of the Chinese, all this will come to naught!

Didn't the 500 commander of that day say that my Bukhara Khanate is actually a vassal of their Chinese Empire. What is a vassal state? It's not the relationship between Lao Tzu and his son! Since they are all "sons". Now that my "father" feeds and wears me, why should I give up all this and expect the Chinese who I don't know anything to give me the same preferential treatment?

Besides, if I can send the information back to Moscow in the here and now, I will definitely be rewarded heavily, and maybe I will be able to change from a businessman to a real aristocrat, and really participate in the political life of Moscow! Until then, those fellow countrymen who have been staring at me all the time, haha, especially that Babatov, you will only have to stare dryly! Ha ha......

Oh! When it comes to aristocracy and politics, I can't help but be sad. Although I successfully made a mission to China this time, I was a supporting actor from beginning to end! If he hadn't gone all out to fulfill the mission that made this seemingly impossible, or even compromised and humiliated, how could he have received a letter from the Emperor Bogda? The titular "deputy", the Cossack leader Peter? Yarezhkin will only make a fuss about the abundance of products and the vast territory of the Chinese Empire, and behave like a serf who has never seen the world!

But I still have to consult with this deputy envoy for big and small things! Even so, in this small mission, the unofficial Fyodor? Ivanov, but became our real "director"! If it weren't for that, how could we have gone to the territory of Khalkha Mongoltaiji in the north in a daze, and how could we fall into the hands of Qing soldiers! And not because he was a favorite of the Tsar's side, and he was a descendant of a nobleman! After all, I can't go against the wishes of the nobles!

No, I have to be an aristocrat, I have to get into the sights of the central government in Moscow, I have to get ahead!

I can't afford to miss this opportunity! As a businessman, you must give your all in the face of any lucrative opportunity, and don't miss it! I must once again take the opportunity to return to Tobolsk as soon as possible with the letter from the Emperor Bogda, and to join my "ambassadorial group" as soon as possible!

That's right, the Ambassadors! That guy from Baykov doesn't know if he has left Tomsk as agreed and where he has gone...... His affairs can be used as bargaining capital with that five-centurion!

Thinking of this, Ablin, who became more and more convinced that his analysis and judgment was correct, became more and more unbearable to bear the inaction at this time. Finally, Ablin, who had made up his mind, hurried out of his tent.

As soon as Ablin came out of the tent, he was naturally followed by the two Qing soldiers who had been "standing guard" for him. None of the three men spoke, and the two soldiers just followed him one after the other, and walked together towards Ablin's destination, the big tent in the center of the camp. Ablin was allowed to move freely within the camp, which was ordered by the Great General and Niu Lu on only two conditions - "follow closely" and "not speak to the Rakshasa captives".

A few days ago, the captured Rakshasa craftsmen gathered from all over the place, according to the agreement of the four commanders, were successively assigned to various camps to work as craftsmen. When one of them first entered the camp of Wuenqi, it did cause Ablin to be shocked. As soon as he saw these Rus' people, Ablin didn't care about the reaction of the Qing soldiers beside him, so he immediately ran forward. Before he had arrived, he asked in Russian:

"Are you Rus'? Where are you from? ”

The result was much to Ablin's surprise - all the Rakshasas only looked at him in horror, then looked at him with resentment and disdain, and then hurriedly lowered their heads and went on with their work, as if the native Bukharan did not exist.

"Hey! I'm a Bukhara! It was an envoy sent by Moscow, and I live in Tobolsk! Where are you from? How did you get here? ”

All the Rakshasas didn't pay any attention to the Central Asian.

"Please tell me! I, as an envoy of the Tsar, came here on my way back to Moscow! Don't be afraid, you can tell me any grievances, I'll go back and negotiate with the Bogda soldiers! ”

Ablin did not give up, identified himself, and asked again.

All the Russians still looked at him as if they were nothing, and not only that, but some of them couldn't help but spit in his direction after listening to Ablin's words......

"What's wrong with you? I'm your friend! You are talking......"

Ablin forgot about his "half-captive" status, and was ready to grab a random man a few steps ahead of him, so that he could shake the arm of any of the Rus' men vigorously to attract attention.

"Honorable guests, our general has orders, you must not speak to them."

A shadowy Qing soldier behind him seemed to have been prepared, and he made a move just right, grabbed Ablin's arm, and said with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Why? Aren't they from the Russian state? After hearing these words, Ablin was furious.

"I don't know if they're Rakshasas or not, but I do know they're doing something very important and can't be disturbed by anyone! This is also the order of Lord Unqi Niulu! The soldier then replied that, at the same time, he dragged Ablin back to his tent and canceled all of his "free activities" for the day.

The next day, Ablin still didn't give up, but the result was still the same!

Day 3 & 4...... Finally, one day, Ablin suddenly stopped yelling at the Rus, and both seemed to be used to treating each other as air.

How did Ablin know that as soon as these Rakshasa craftsmen entered the camp, they were told that there was an important man here, a merchant, who lived with one of your Rakshasa overseers. But it was he who became a spy and reported to us in the Great Qing Kingdom what you had done in this Lake District, as well as the troops and populations of the various castles, so we took decisive action against you. If he talks to you, you must not respond in any way. Otherwise, it's "shoot and kill"!

As a result, under the "two-pronged" effect of "anger against traitors" and "fear for small lives", all the Rus captives who had seen the ferocious and cruel methods of the Bogda soldiers invariably chose to "keep silent" and "sneer" at the hapless Ablin.

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea
