Chapter 717: Sweeping the Crimean Peninsula (Part I)

"I am in Paris waiting for news of your victory!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Gorchakov with a smile on his face, and then reminded Gorchakov not to forget to come to the Peace Conference in Paris in April this year.

Ambassador Gorchakov knew that Jérôme. The so-called peace congress in Bonaparte's mouth was nothing more than a supplementary explanatory congress for the division of the territory of the Russian Empire, led by France.

Gorchakov, however, had to attend this trial of the Russian Empire, and if they did not attend on behalf of the Russian Imperial Government, then the Golitsyn traitor clique in Petersburg would certainly participate on behalf of the Russian Imperial Government.

As a result, they indirectly lose their influence in the international arena, and it is likely that the European monarchies will not see Gorchakov as a fully functional government.

In this way, they will lose the support of some of them.

After all, Golitsyn's new government limited the Tsar's rights, but they did not abolish it.

The attitude of many monarchies will not be as exterminating as that of republics, but of ambiguity as that of the original Orleans.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! We will definitely go on time! "Ambassador Gorchakov hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured.

"That's it! Ambassador Gorchakov, it's not too early! It's time for you to hit the road, too! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave Gorchakov an order to evict the passengers.

Ambassador Gorchakov took one last look at Jerome with nostalgia. Bonaparte behind the land, and then towards Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and left.

Looking at the Russian troops, who were walking away from the ankle-covered snow, Jérôme. A heartfelt smile broke out of Bonaparte's lips.

The war, which lasted for about a year, finally came to an end with the Russian Empire leaving the Crimean peninsula.

Next, what he has to do in the Crimean Peninsula is to sweep the tail and reward for meritorious deeds.

"Valewski!" Jérôme. Bonaparte called softly to the foreign secretary beside him.

"Your Majesty!" Valevsky hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"What title do you think I should give Marshal Perissier?" Jérôme. Bonaparte lowered his gaze and pondered: "Duke? Or the Earl......"

"Your Majesty, it's up to you!" Walewski hurriedly re-kicked the ball to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Neither the duke nor the count is something for Valevsky himself to discuss.

It would have been true if Valewski had not guessed Jérôme. The consequences of Bonaparte's thoughts were severe.

He had a fairly good relationship with Marshal Perissier, and did not want to gain the hatred of Marshal Perissier on this matter.

There is still a certain gap between the duke and the earl.

After thinking for a moment, Jérôme. Bonaparte nevertheless decided to give the title of Count of Marshal Pellisier.

After all, the late St. . Marshal Arnault was also only awarded the Count of Sevastopol.

And as a saint. Marshal Perissier, the successor of Marshal Arnault, was too difficult to confer the title of duke.

Coupled with the fact that the Crimean War itself relied on seven points of politics and three points of military to achieve success, so Jérôme. Bonaparte was also not very inclined to give the title of duke directly.

"I have decided to give the title of Marshal Perissier, Count! What do you think of him as a reward for his bravery in the Crimea? "Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again to Valewski.

"That couldn't be better! I am sure that Marshal Pellisier will be touched by your kindness and generosity! "Valewski hurried Jérôme. Bonaparte patted the horse.

"As for the ...... of the knighthood," Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and turned his gaze to Valewski.

"Your Majesty, since the Count of Sevastopol has been replaced by the late St. Marshal Arnault picked it, then why don't we give Marshal Perissye Count Bakhchisaray as a reward! Valevsky looked up at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"This ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte hesitated for a moment, he wondered if it was too much to grant a general the title of King of the Crimean Khan.

However, this thought only existed for a few seconds before Jérôme. Bonaparte choked, and he finally decided: "Good! It's Count Bakhchisaray! Now go to Simferopol and inform Marshal Pelisier and order him to come quickly! And if Marshal Pelisier asks, don't tell him anything! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Valewski bowed to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

In the afternoon, Minister Valevsky and his entourage, escorted by Tatar cavalry, set out from Perekop and, after a long journey of several hours, finally arrived at the capital of Simferopol that evening.

Led by the French officers, Valewski came to the presence of Marshal Pellissier.

"Your Excellency Valewski, why did you come here alone? Is there something Your Majesty commands? Marshal Perissier, who had just met, hurriedly asked Valewski.

"Your Excellency, Congratulations!" Minister Valevsky smiled and responded to Marshal Perissier.

"Congratulations? Congratulations to me on what? Field Marshal Perissier asked Minister Valevsky with a bewildered expression.

"Your Excellency Marshal, you won't know anything until you arrive at Perekop!" Minister Valewski then said to Marshal Perissier: "However, it is better for you to change into a formal suit and go to ......"

Valewski did not seem to have revealed a word to Marshal Perissier, but in fact he had completely revealed it to Pellisier.

Where did Marshal Pelissier at this time not understand what Valevsky meant, Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte's purpose in sending him to Perekop was most likely to give him an official rank.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your information!" Marshal Pelissier hastened to respond to Valewski.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't tell you anything!" Valevsky flatly denied it, and then added: "And in front of Your Majesty, you must pretend that you don't know anything!" ”

Early the next morning, Marshal Pelissier, who had given an account of his precautions after leaving, changed into the costume of a marshal of the First Reich and set out with Valevsky from Simferopol and arrived at the Perekop fortress at noon.

Enter the fortress of two people in Jérôme. Patterson led the way to Jérôme. Bonaparte's residence in Perekop.

"Your Excellency Marshal and Minister, please wait here for a moment! Your Majesty is upstairs for some time, and I expect to see you in half an hour! "Jérôme. Paterson explained to the two of them as he led Field Marshal Perissier and Valewski into a room to wait.

Marshal Perissier and Valevsky immediately expressed their understanding, and then listened to Jérôme. Patterson's arrangement went into the room and waited.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Patterson ordered the servants in the lodgings to bring them pastries and black tea, so that the two of them could be satisfied a little after a long journey.

Marshal Pelissier and Valevsky sat in the room and waited quietly for Jérôme. Bonaparte.

And the person they were waiting for was at this time in the study on the second floor of the residence, listening to the report of Quartermaster Leboeuf.

"Your Majesty, this is the plan drawn up by our technicians, please take a look at the disposal plan for the Qamish Port-Arma section of the railway!" Leboeuf presented the papers in his hand in a respectful and reserved tone.

"Good work!" Jérôme. Bonaparte solemnly took the paper handed over by Uncle Le, looked through it carefully, and put it back on the table.

The content of the document is simple: the Ministry of Munitions wants the railway and equipment between the port of Qamish and Arma to be dismantled and transported to the Syrian province, and a railway from Yatta to Jerusalem will be built!

Once the railway is completed, more and more pilgrims will make pilgrimages to Jerusalem.

At the same time, the French Empire could also achieve further control of the vicinity of Jerusalem by rail.

"Who is the person responsible for contracting this section of the railway?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Leboeuf.

"Isaac. Mr. Perel! "Leboeuf vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"What about the price?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"20% higher than the market price of scrap iron!" Leboeuf went on to fight Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"They're pretty good at business!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Leboeuf.

"Your Majesty, are we going to promise them?" Leboeuf vs Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Just follow the plan!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Anyway, it is a waste for this railway to stay here, I believe that Abdul of the Ottoman Empire will definitely not invest too many resources here!" Rather than let this section of the railway stay here, it is better to use it! This will also bring out some residual heat! ”

"Yes!" Leboeuf nodded, then handed it to Jérôme. Bonaparte's "Plan for the Disposition of the Horses and Mules of the French Army"

In the proposal, Leboeuf pointed out that the French army had too many horses and mules (most of which would have been stolen), and that if they were all shipped back, the cost alone would far exceed the price of the horses and mules themselves, so that the highest disposition would be to sell them to the local authorities in the Crimean peninsula.

And they also joined forces with the coalition forces in the Crimean peninsula to support Musa. Pasha, the governor of Glay (currently Musa. Glay had been recognized by the Ottoman Empire as the governor of Crimea) also offered them a willingness to "serve" the horses and mules of the French Empire, although the Crimean peninsula itself was poor, so the price they offered was also lower than the market price.
