"If these people thought they were soldiers of the empire, the city guard of Yaksa would not be Tolbuzin. [] Captain, please don't forget that the defenders of Yaksa are just a group of robbers and murderers. They are originally
They should accept the sanctions of the criminal law, but now we train them as armed soldiers and let them conquer the East for the empire. To put it bluntly, this is an exchange. Do you understand the exchange, Captain?"
Nikita was still looking at Petrusha with a smile on his face. He didn't want to overly irritate this reckless man, so his tone suddenly became very tactful, and he said harmoniously: "While we are using them, we have automatically accepted the lifting of the penalty.
We can't ask these prisoners just like we treat regular soldiers. As long as they can obey orders and dare to fight against the Qing people, we can't ask them anything else. They can
Without the awareness and self-awareness that emperors should have, all we can give them is benefits. Do you understand, benefits? Captain! When exchange produces benefits, we have to bear some losses that must be borne, for example, giving them a certain degree of freedom.
"
After finishing speaking, Nikita gave Petrusha a meaningful look, hoping that the impatient captain of the guard would stop focusing on the impossible. The governor was already thinking about how to kill Petrusa.
Erbuzin, as the captain of the guard, Petrusha should give sober advice to the Governor. How can you be as confused as the Governor? If Tolbuzin can be replaced at will, the focus of today's discussion will not be him.
As an official of the Governor's Palace, Nikita is thinking more about how to enable the Governor to return to Moscow from the East with full honors, and he can also get a piece of the pie and take up a better and higher position. In order to achieve this goal
, we must prevent everything that is not conducive to the governor and the empire, such as Yaksa and Tolbuzin. Facts have proved that this bandit did a good job. Without him, there would be no Yaksa, several imperial strongholds in Heilongjiang, and hundreds of
A kilometer of land does not have the praise of Moscow. So now, what we should consider is how to let this bandit work better and add a better halo to the governor, instead of going crazy to replace or kill him.
Before the emperor, everyone is equal. Nikita is a devout Orthodox Christian. He believes that everyone is equal. Bloodline is not enough to prove whether a person is excellent. It is like he is just a commoner, but he can also become an outstanding official of the empire.
; Tolbuzin was a bandit, but that did not prevent him from becoming the empire's most conquering officer in the East. Governor Vlasomi's wishful thinking about blood origin would be totally acceptable if it were at a gathering of nobles in Moscow.
It's true, but it doesn't work in the East! At least not now, because the empire needs these bandits, and there are so few people willing to come to the East.
"We give them benefits, and they have to obey!"
Petrusha roughly understood what Nikita meant, but he was still a little unwilling to do so because the temptation of the Yaksa city guard was too great. You must know that on the desk of His Majesty the Tsar, most reports about the East appeared.
It's Yaksa. What's abominable is that in the most dazzling fortress of the empire in the east, the commander is not a regular military member of the empire, but Tolbuzin, a bandit. What's even more abhorrent is that the commander he leads
The defenders turned out to be a mob, a group of bastards who committed murder, arson, rape and robbery. This made Petrusha, a professional soldier, very dissatisfied and jealous. He came to the East from distant Europe for the sake of
It means that he can make great achievements and accept the knighthood from His Majesty the Tsar, but now he can only serve as the captain of the guard of the Governor of Nerchinsk, trapped in this city where war can never happen, and let the bandits slaughter the natives and the Qing Dynasty.
People, robbing their wealth, playing with their women, occupying their land, all of this made Petrusha, who had restlessness and conquest flowing in his veins, extremely dissatisfied. He needed to show and prove himself too much.
As long as you give me a chance, I can move the balance of the East! Petrusha said to himself. Yes, he needs Yaksa too much, he needs to have a medal bestowed by His Majesty the Tsar, and he needs to become the new
A nobleman, because only in this way can he make the beautiful and noble Miss Polya favor him. And he firmly believes that he is fully capable of using force to obtain everything he needs!
Damn it, why can't this rude captain listen to me! He is so stupid and incorrigible! Petrusha's insistence made Nikita very angry, and he decided not to talk nonsense to this young man anymore, he had to
End this debate as soon as possible, otherwise this dormant debate will not end. He has more important things to report to the Governor.
"Your Excellency the Governor, we have no confidence that we can replace Tolbuzin's city guard without causing a mutiny, so I suggest that your Excellency the Governor agree to Tolbuzin's request."
Nikita thought it was better to speak directly, otherwise these officers would think they were just playing house. Do you think Tolbuzin's city guard can be replaced casually? In the end, he emphasized: "At least
, before the special envoy arrives, Yaksa must not make any mistakes or do anything that is not conducive to the governor!"
Vlasov had been listening to the argument between Nikita and Petrusha, and his intuition told him that Nikita was right. Tolbuzin had escaped back to his wolf den, and it was impossible to trick him out.
Yes, if he had to be forcibly replaced, I am afraid that the bandits of Yaksa would really mutiny. Although the city of Yaksa brought honor to Tolbuzin, it also gave him the aura of Governor of Nerchinsk. If it was because of his
Vlasov could not accept his insistence on causing turmoil in Yaksa. While hesitating, he heard Nikita mention Lord Golo, the imperial minister who was coming to the east. Vlasov subconsciously asked Nikita in a respectful tone.
Kita: "Where is the special envoy's team?"
Nikita turned around and asked in a low voice one of the officials around him, and then told the governor with certainty: "The special envoy's team has arrived in the Lake Baikal area. The special envoy asked the governor to send someone to pick them up, because the special envoy's team has nothing to do with the Kal
Something unpleasant happened to the Kakar people."
"What did the Khalkha people do to the envoy?"
Hearing that the Mongols actually had a conflict with the imperial minister, Vlasov's anger suddenly moved from Tolbuzin to the Khalkha Mongols. He roared angrily: "Are those Khalkha people impatient?
How could they have the guts to confront His Majesty the Tsar’s envoy? Do they want the tribe to disappear forever!”
Nikita told the governor everything he knew: "The Khalkhas did not attack the envoy, but the envoy sent his deputy, Andrei, to persuade the Khalkhas to join the Tsar.
Maybe some tribes of Khalkhas foolishly rejected Lord Andrei, so the envoy ordered Lord Andrei to lead the Cossacks to carry out a small punishment on the Khalkhas."
When Nikita said this, the official next to him whispered something to him. After hearing this, Nikita nodded and said to Vlasov: "The governor has no need to worry about the safety of the special envoy. Lord Andrei will lead
The Cossack knights are all warriors. Under their attack, the Khalkhas are retreating to the south. The special envoy is now marching safely by Lake Baikal. The governor only needs to send a team of guards to meet the special envoy.
, we must worry about what harm those Khalkha people will do to the special envoy."
"Really? Then thank God!"
The safety of the imperial minister was Vlasov's biggest concern. Hearing that the Khalkhas had retreated to the south, he breathed a sigh of relief and told Petrusha: "Ask Boris to bring people to meet the envoy, and be sure to send him
The envoy will be safely escorted to Nerchinsk."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The focus of the discussion shifted from Yaksa to the envoy's team, which made Petrusha very angry. He understood that this must be a trick played by Nikita, a cowardly official, but he had to carry out the order of the governor, with
Feeling depressed and angry, I went to see Boris.
"Nikita, what do you think I should do to entertain the special envoy after he arrives?"
After Petrusha went out, Vlasov had forgotten about Tolbuzin. At this time, he was thinking about how to show his respect to the imperial minister. He felt that he must receive the imperial minister and his party with the highest standards, but how to do it?
But it's not very clear, so Nikita, the chief official of the Governor's Mansion, needs to give a hint.
However, Nikita did not tell the Governor how to receive the special envoy, but told him a very heavy piece of bad news.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I think I must tell you some bad news."
"Bad news?" Vlasov frowned: "What bad news?" Is there anything worse in this world than that bastard Tolbuzin is still alive?
Nikita glanced at the officials around him and said to the Governor in distress: "We have lost contact with Dujigensk, Udisk and other strongholds for a month. Our military tactics are close to the area and we don't even know what happened.
What."
