Chapter 625 Cobbdo's heavy snow

In fact, just as Zhao Xin and Elizabeth were talking, Degenie was also talking to Leclerc. Including this trip, it was the third time he came to find the other party.

"What should I do if you are the Governor General? Mrs. Elizabeth and the Crown Prince are still waiting for my news!"

"There is no time for this situation, whether I leave or they come."

Governor Leclerc, standing in front of the window, looked gloomy and gloomy. He held one hand beside him and squeezed it hard, revealing his inner anxiety.

The war of the French Revolution finally burned to the French colony. Leclerc's governor was smooth and harmonious over the years, and everyone should make money. But precisely because of his noble family, the restless French merchants in the city began to jump up and down. They privately instigated a colonial congress and elected the president of the conference and a mayor, which was obviously intended to seize power.

The matter of making money is just a matter of yarn. I want democracy and freedom to defeat the royal family and nobles who collect taxes. Long live the French Republic!

OK, to put it bluntly, I still don't want to pay taxes...

Those who cause trouble are all guys who have come to local governance in recent years. They have no idea how the British East India Company dealt with them more than ten years ago.

In fact, the status of aristocrats is really nothing. Those who can engage in Eastern trade these days must have a noble relative at home. Condorce is still a marquis. Didn’t they become members of the National Assembly and draft a constitution? The key is whether you look down on the third level and support the royal family’s monopoly on Eastern trade.

Fortunately, Leclerc joined the army at the age of 16, participated in the American War of Independence, fought with the British in the Caribbean, served as a legion commander on Bourbon, and even served as a military commander before taking over as the local governor of the governor of the local governance. He had great prestige among the lower-level officers, and with the support of the church, he barely suppressed the opposition.

Degenie's arrival allowed him to learn about the domestic situation in advance than everyone in the city. When he learned that the National Convention had declared war on the British, Leclerc's heart suddenly sank, and he knew that there was not much time left for him to prepare.

Ten days ago, the National Convention arrived at local governance with an order sent by Bourbon Island, which caused a huge wave of excitement and surprised the president and mayor of the Congress who were determined to seize power. The National Convention Foreign Affairs Committee appointed a civil affairs commissioner named Daniel Lescalier to replace Leclerc's position.

This is too much! Knowing that the British East India Company is eyeing it and the war may break out at any time, the National Guild actually sent a guy who doesn't know anything about military affairs, and it is obvious that he wants to give the French colony in India!

To make matters worse, the local Tamil Catholics also started to make trouble, demanding that slaves be liberated and participate in the management of public affairs in the colonies, which made Leclerc a little overwhelmed. You should know that most of the lower-level soldiers in the local army were composed of Tamils. If these guys became in chaos, his control over the army would be useless.

Leclerc was worried that the situation would harm his family, so he sent his wife and children to the territory of Beihai Town to the south the next day after Dejine arrived. At the same time, he also began to prepare for both ways and wait for the arrival of the Civil Affairs Commissioner.

If Louis Cial had not arrived, Leclerc would have resigned and went home to play with his wife... Bah! The family returned to France to settle down and then died of illness in four years. The problem is that Beihai Town really rescued the little prince, which gave Leclerc a goal to continue fighting.

He paced back and forth in the office, thought for a while and said to Degine: "Cretien, you will take a boat back to Batavia tomorrow."

"What are you going to tell me to say to His Highness the Princess?"

"Just tell her the situation here truthfully. I believe she and the crown prince will understand my difficulties." Leclerc frowned and said, "I will write two letters later, one for His Royal Highness the Princess and the other for His Royal Highness the Prince."

After Degine arrived at the local governance, he reported Zhao Xin's situation to the Governor. Leclerc was stunned and shook his head. If Degine had not been the witness, he would not have believed that a monarch who ruled a large tract of land in East Asia would have done such a crazy behavior.

I remember that Louis XVI was worried about the American War of Independence back then, but His Majesty the King did not end in person.

"In the current situation, we must ask for help from the Chinese. Otherwise, if they make such a struggle, the British will immediately surrender their guns and surrender."

Degenie hurriedly said: "Didn't the cannons that the Chinese transported before have arrived? With these cannons, I think the British should be easy to deal with, right?"

"It's useless." Leclerc knew that the man in front of him was a military stick, so he patiently explained: "If people are confused, their combat effectiveness will be gone, and even the most advanced weapons can only be decorations. Who knows whether those Tamils ​​will rebel in the face of battle? If the Chinese don't help us, this city will not be able to stop the British."

"Then I'll go to the port to tell the captains and make him ready." Degenie suddenly stood up, walked to the door and stopped and asked, "Governor General, what are you going to do if the colony is irreversible?"

"I will lead my subordinates and Bishop Adelan, retreat to Pazayalai, and seek asylum from the Chinese. After the British conquered the city, they will find a way to retake it! So you must explain the predicament here to His Highness the Prince."

With Dejine's speed, he was destined to not see Zhao Xin. Because on the third day after talking with Elizabeth, he left Bacheng. Since the general direction of Kalimantan and Bacheng has been basically determined, the most important thing for him is to return to Beihai Town to have that meeting.

Deng Fei will have almost finished training in another week. He and Wang Yuanfang will both take the Thunder God back. However, Liu Sheng, Fan Tong and Liu Zheng who traveled through the crowd are all in Khalkha Mongolia. It will take at least seven or eight days to bring these three pieces of materials back to Beihai Town.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! His plan is to go to Ulaanbaatar first, then take a small plane to Ulyasutai, then drive to Kobdo to pick up Fan Tong, return to Ulyasutai and then take Liu Sheng with him. The three of them return to Ulaanbaatar, and bring Liu Zheng back, and the four of them return to Beihai Town together. In addition, he has to go to Cao Peng and Kong Shaoan to pick up the two of them, so... it's really troublesome!

No one doesn’t like to take over power, everything is up to you. But Zhao Xin still hopes to establish a mutually restrictive balance system to control his inner desire for power, which is like a wild weed.

From this plan for Kalimantan, we can see that with a casual idea, he could overturn the meeting plan that had been formulated long ago and successfully postpone it, and no one opposed it.

In fact, Zhao Xin is not mentally prepared to manage a country with hundreds of millions of people, nor is he fully capable of managing a huge country. No ruler will often fall into danger like him, just to satisfy some of his curiosity.

Although Siberia has taken down so much, his psychological burden is not heavy. Beihai Town has immigrated in recent years, and the total Chinese population in East and West Siberia has only emerged at 30,000. As for those ordinary people of Tsarist Russia... He doesn't care if he loves to death!

Since he made up his mind to expel the Qing Dynasty within three years, he often woke up from nightmares late at night. If he had the greatest gain in recent years of becoming a disciple of Wang Zhong, it was nothing more than two words, being cautious in solitude. That is, self-control.

The old monk Chengche passed away two years after returning to Wuya Temple. Before leaving, he asked his disciple to bring a letter to Chen Qingsong, who had met once, and asked him to tell Zhao Xin. There was only one sentence in the letter: There is a good idea in life, and even if the good thing has not been done, the good thing has been followed; there is a bad idea in life, and even if the evil thing has not been done, the evil thing has been followed. Be careful!

Zhao Xin later asked Wang Zhong for advice. Wang Zhong said this from the "Taishang Ganying Pian". The original text is "The heart arises from goodness, and although goodness has not been done, the good god has followed it; or the heart arises from evil, and although evil has not been done, the evil god has followed it."

It means that if a good thought has arisen in the heart, and before doing good deeds, the good god has been following him; if a bad thought has arisen in the heart, and before doing bad deeds, the evil god has been following him.

To restrain improper behavioral ideas is called "a gentleman must be careful of his own." Zhao Xin asked himself that he did not have such a high level of moral cultivation, so he had to control his desire for power through the system and political structure. Otherwise, he was really worried that one day he would lead everyone to rush into the abyss without hesitation.

A gentleman is cautious in solitude and does not deceive the dark room; a ruler is cautious in solitude and is vigilant in the morning and evening, and does not make unyielding contributions.

This is not a company. If you make a mistake, you can lose some money. At most, the company will disband and each seeks another way. Today, Beihai Town has millions of people under its command. Any wrong decision may lead to frequent man-made disasters. In fact, this is also the biggest reason why Zhao Xin has been undecided and dared not go south to enter the pass.

The problem is that now that everything has been said and Flag has also been established. Zhao Xin can only put a bridle on himself before he is blinded by power. This is his original intention of proposing this meeting to Yu Deli.

......

When Zhao Xin arrived in Kobdo, he had just experienced a strange snowstorm here, which lasted for three days and three nights, and the snow in the city had not exceeded his knees.

The grassland experienced a storm, like a person suffering from a serious illness; although the illness was cured, his health was still very weak. Under Fan Tong's order, the military and civilians of Kobedo were dispatched to clear the snow. In addition, the Military Control Commission had the most urgent task, which was to count the losses of each company inside and outside the city.

In the past, when encountering this situation, the herdsmen's faces were tightly tight, and every household was silent. Men and women wiped their tears secretly, and their children did not dare to laugh and quarrel. Although the Qing Dynasty would issue relief, the little charity was like a drop in the ox compared to the losses of their own families. The herdsmen either borrowed usury or became slaves to the rich man's family.

However, the most worried thing at the moment is not the poor herders. The Military Control Commission in Kobdo City has just posted a notice of peace. All local herders can use frozen cattle and sheep skeletons to exchange for winter food from Beihai Town, except for the rich.

As soon as the news came out, all the poor herdsmen showed smiles, while the Taiji Bayan men sighed. The North Navy has made them miserable this year, so some people gathered together to drink and play with women all day long.

"There is no use in keeping those animals. Maybe one day the Beihai Army will catch us and give us a soybean! Fuck it! While you are not dead, you have to be happy for a few days!"

Although the snow stopped, the weather was still very cold at night. The snow that could be shoveled easily yesterday was frozen into ice after a night.

Fan Tong woke up a little early today. It was just dawn outside and his wife Polia was not awake yet. This guy was stunned when he sent it, and then he fumbled to light the horse lantern, put on a thick cotton jacket, add firewood to the stove in the house, and then boiled water to wash. When he got dressed and was about to go out for a run, Polia had already gotten up and started preparing breakfast.

"Dear, I'm leaving."

"It's too cold outside. My dear, don't go if you don't."

Fan Tong hesitated for a moment when he heard this. When the guy saw Polya's increasingly plump breasts, his throat twitched a few times. But when a long wake-up call came from outside, he resolutely pushed the door out.

"For my Polya, I'm so cold!"

The wind outside was very cold, and the air was filled with a slight coldness. Fan Tong trotted a few steps and felt that the ground was still a little slippery, so he slowed down and walked towards the playground not far away. He did not live in the Kobdo office office in the Qing Dynasty, but in the military camp outside the city. Although there was a warm kang and a wide stepping bed in the back house of the yamen, he always felt that there was no stable place for the military camp there.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When passing through several rows of neat yurts, Fan Tong's face couldn't help but radiate. When he thought of the Mongolian warriors living there, he felt an indescribable pride in his heart.

These Mongolian soldiers were local herders recruited last year. One class lived in a yurt, and the total number was one battalion. Compared to when they first came, they already looked like soldiers. They went out to exercise in the morning, practice horses during the day, learn words and learn Mandarin at night, and sometimes learn military songs.

Fan Tong gave these soldiers a political class every week and told them many new and interesting things in Beihai Town. The soldiers gradually fell in love with the chubby leader. However, because they couldn't get a Chinese pronunciation, these soldiers called him "Jingwen" when they saw Fan Tong.

He walked on the path, thinking about the lecture he had drawn up last night, and thought to himself that today I would like to give you something more interesting, how did people evolve from monkeys? Fan Tong hoped that through this lesson, the Mongolian soldiers could understand a truth: people were not created by a Buddha, but labor.

At this time, on the playground in the military camp, the uniform slogans of the slogans began to shake the sky, one after another.

“One, two, one…”

“One, two, three, four…”

After being in the military camp for a long time, Fan Tong liked this atmosphere more and more. With his careful efforts, he also liked the North Navy group more and more. He felt that his choice was extremely correct and he did not go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Just as he was thinking about it, a duty officer came towards him.

"Report to the political commissar! There is someone at the gate who wants to see you. This is his ID."
