The ironclad cavalry rode their horses on the most famous Tikrik Street in Sikkim, their cold eyes roaming the tightly closed windows around them, and the stone road under their feet provided a stage for the horseshoe under their crotch to fully display the crisp and pleasant sound of the horseshoe, and it seemed that even the horse's mane became slightly erected, I wonder if I felt the peeping from all kinds of eyes hiding on both sides of the street. Although there was only one squadron of ironclad cavalry www.biquge.info, Qu Bo knew that this squadron of ironclad cavalry patrolling the streets of Tiklik was even more effective than killing dozens of rioters.

The Republican Guard can be regarded as the last shield of the Sikkim people, but this shield is still broken in front of their first division, and the Sikkim people who have lost this shield are completely desperate, Sikkim City, like other cities in the Middle Continent, does not have a city wall, just a castle in the center of the city that symbolizes the surname as the council and ruling axe of the city republic, but now it is prostrate at their feet.

Although he controls the entire Sikkim City and even Sikkim Island, Qu Bo knows that his control ability is quite weak, although the main force of the Sikkim army has been sent to the Nan'an area, but the remaining troops left on Sikkim Island are at least about 30,000 people, and now the Republican Guard has collapsed, but the first division has not been able to completely annihilate this force, at least 5,000 people have fled, if it is on the mainland, these 5,000 people are not a problem at all, but this is on Sikkim Island, 5,000 people have fled into the people, maybe it will stir up a storm。

Qu Bo now urgently needs the navy to break the blockade of the Sikkim Navy and send the follow-up troops up, even if it is just to send one or two wings to rescue the emergency, and Qu Bo feels that his heart is much more down-to-earth, in this hostile or indifferent gaze on all sides, Qu Bo feels what it feels like to be behind enemy lines for the first time. At this time, he had to show off his strength, so that the Sikkimese people could deeply feel the power of the Tang Dynasty, and make the Sikkimese people realize that if they had the slightest ill intentions, it would only bring them death and killing.

All the parliamentarians and the officials of the ruling axe have been firmly controlled, as well as their families, including the Sikkim generals and officers who are leading the troops, and if they do not control them, they may not carry out even the decision of the parliament to withdraw the troops. However, judging from the news feedback now, at least the Sikkim army has been carrying out this order to the letter, which makes Qu Bo feel a lot more relieved, the order of the parliament seems to be less binding on the navy, but it doesn't matter, as long as the army begins to withdraw troops, the fortress of Boma Mountain and the fortress of Kuruk, the Sikkimese people should understand that the general trend has gone, and the island of Sikkim, which is isolated overseas, has lost the strategy of Western Samoa and Nan'an, and even if it can survive, it will become quite difficult.

Looking at the division commander who was standing on the steps of the castle hall and was a little distracted, the adjutant hesitated for a moment and took two steps to catch up and said, "Division commander, several councillors have arrived. ”

Turning around, Qu Bo's face always had that look of ancient wells: "I immediately went over to help from an external force, Nazi glanced at the fat old man next to him with a nonchalant face, and several people next to him were all uneasy, only this guy was like this at all times, but now he is forced to neck, no more than other times, this guy still looks fearless, does this guy really have a bottom in his heart?"

"Albierja, why did you say that this Tang general called a few of us here? Shetkhaz really couldn't suppress his curiosity, although he believed that the Tang general would not be unfavorable to him, at least everyone here had already signed and dismissed the consul according to his request, and there was also a parliament that made an order to cease fighting and withdraw troops, but after all, the knife handle was in the hands of the Tang people, as long as the other party gave an order, and I don't know how many heads would fall to the ground, before getting an accurate news, Shetkhaz believed that everyone should be as unsteady as himself.

"Hmph, I know what you're worried about? Aren't you just worried that people are not good for us? But we have done everything according to their requirements, what else do we want? Do the Tang people really want to come to a slaughter city and kill all our Sikkim people? Then you don't have to recruit a few of us to report it, right? I think it's not a big deal for people to find us this time, and it's a good thing to get it wrong. ”

The fat old man snorted and smoked the hookah from Sharab, the thick chimney with pure gold plating seemed to be showing off the value of this kind of play, Shetkhaz looked down on the other party's style, especially at this time, wasn't it deliberately stimulating those Tang people's **?

Seeing the partners who were usually arrogant but now depressed and panicked, the fat old man couldn't help but crack his fat mouth and smiled: "What, don't believe what I said? Let's make a bet here, if the other party comes after a while, it will be similar to what I said, then you just remember to owe me a favor." ”

"Okay, tell me why the Tang people are looking for a few of us?" The other thin councillor couldn't sit still, he really couldn't bear the pressure of waiting, even if it was a life-saving straw, he was willing to grasp it at this moment.

"Hehe, look at a few of us, although we are all parliamentarians, but we all know the details of each other, Shetkhaz, isn't your father just an oil seller? After decades of hard work, his net worth has been passed down to you, and now he can be regarded as the best among our Sikkim entrepot traders, but this background can't be changed; If you hadn't escaped those storms, I guess the giants of the shipping industry would have squeezed you out, but what were you doing 30 years ago? An apprentice at the Sikkim shipyard? What about you? If it weren't for your daughter marrying a good family and earning you a lot of dowry, and your son-in-law giving you some opportunities, would you be able to get up? I'm afraid you're still a salt-drying man in the eastern salt pans, right?"

"Albierja, we are here for you to tell the Tang people why they are looking for us, not to entertain our family background, is your family background worth showing off?" one of the councillors shouted angrily.

"Hehe, I never said how good my family background is, my father is a smuggler, I'm just a slave trader. Shrugging his shoulders, the fat old man was not ashamed, but proud, "But let's see, none of us here seem to have a good family background, in the minds of those noble businessmen, we are just some rich nouveau riche, but this time they seem to be on the wrong side, I remember that in the last parliamentary vote on whether to participate in the continental war, several of us abstained, but those noble lords all voted in favor, everyone think about it, isn't it?"

Several people looked at each other, and then tried to recall the situation at that time, as if there was such a thing, but they all agreed that if the Tang people controlled Nan'an and Western Samoa, it would definitely affect the interests of Sikkim, and the reason why they abstained was because several people had more connections with the Tang Dynasty in business, and before the vote, they also knew that the matter of sending troops would definitely pass, and several of them abstained purely to prevent politics from affecting their business.

"Is that the reason?" asked several people in unison, "It's ridiculous, it's impossible!"

"Of course not, now the Tang army has controlled the entire city of Sikkim, but the situation in Sikkim is not very stable, it is estimated that it has a lot to do with the attitude of those councillors, although they voted to pass the resolution of armistice and withdrawal of troops, but I am afraid that they are a little unwilling, and they still intentionally or unintentionally provoke the people below to make trouble, the Tang people, it is estimated that they also feel a little tricky, the suppression may lead to more rebellions, let it go, I am afraid that it will intensify again, there is a lack of communication between the two sides, maybe the Tang people want to use us as this intermediary。 The fat old man put down his cigarette gun and stroked his beard in thought.

"It's too far-fetched, why should the Tang people let us come forward to reconcile, don't they have any other way?" another member of parliament shook his head in disbelief.

"If it is elsewhere, the Tang people may be able to find other ways, but you think about it, Sikkim is isolated overseas, and now the navy has blocked all the channels for the Tang people to come to Sikkim, this is one, and second, if there are people with Tang background, those noble parliamentarians are afraid and difficult to accept, as for the few of us, everyone knows the details, it is nothing more than that we have some business dealings with the Tang Dynasty, we have no Tang blood, and we are native Sikkim, I am afraid it is easier to accept. Hehe, let's talk about it, is this an opportunity? Maybe wait a few more days, once the navy also receives the order, the Tang people may no longer need us. ”

Several people were silent, and they couldn't help but admit that what this guy Albierja said had some truth, the Tang people's strength in Sikkim City was not strong enough, they needed some time to breathe now, but even if it didn't help, they could control the situation, but it was just a little troublesome, in fact, once the parliament made the decision to cease fighting and withdraw the troops, it was equivalent to surrendering and giving up, when the main force of the Tang army continued to drive into Sikkim, they might no longer need external help, so their group should seize this opportunity?
