"Of course I'm worried, but the Superintendent is confident enough to make the Slavic people surrender. Volkan, you said that when we fight back and forth, isn't the ultimate goal of making the people under his command live a better life? If we can give the people
They live a good life, why do they make trouble? If one day they don’t have enough food and clothing, not only the Slavic people, but anyone who wants to survive will make trouble. Do you think this is the truth?” Elizabeth’s words seemed to be ordinary, but she said
The words woke up the dreamer. Wolkan stayed there for a long time with his mouth half open, and then he took a sip of wine with a wry smile.
Such a simple truth, what does rebellion have to do with who rules Siberia? The people just want to wear clothes and eat. When they can't survive, they will naturally rebel. Even if Siberia is ruled by Slavic nobles instead of orientals, why don't they still rebel? Those so-called
His dignity is really ridiculous.
"I deeply admire what the princess said. The reorganization of the army should not be a big problem, but do I also want to stay in the army?" After Volkan asked, Elizabeth had already responded, so she did not delay and handed over a letter of appointment.
Put it in front of Volkan, "With Lord Volkan's ability, there is no need to stay in the army. The Superintendent orders you to go to New Nicholas City and serve as the imperial counselor to assist the Superintendent in managing Siberia's civil affairs."
"This..." Volkan didn't know what to say for a moment. In charge of Siberia's civil affairs, the supervisor is not afraid of attracting wolves into the house?
Volkan is a smart man. According to his original idea, after the incident in Nantomsk is over, he will retreat home and become a prosperous farmer. But what happened now has exceeded his expectations. He refused.
Agree? It seems like a simple multiple-choice question, but it is actually very difficult to make a decision. Elizabeth looked at Wolkan with a smile, stroking a bronze dagger with her right hand, as if all her thoughts were placed on this exquisite ancient bronze.
Wolkan felt an invisible pressure. The woman in front of him seemed to be smiling and harmless, but it was impossible to see what was going on in her mind.
She looks very peaceful and generous, but can such a person command tens of thousands of troops and convince countless men?
Elizabeth took her time and carefully observed the exquisite patterns on the ancient bronzes. This bronze dagger was found from a nobleman's home. The sword body was not only engraved with exquisite patterns, but the hilt was wrapped in fine pine wood.
, inlaid with two precious cat emeralds. I just took a look at it and fell in love with this dagger. Every woman likes exquisite decorations, and Elizabeth is no exception. But her mind never left Wall.
Kang, she admired Wol Kang from the bottom of her heart, but admiration was admiration, and she still knew exactly what to do.
Volkan has a very high prestige in Russia. In addition, he is a civil and military leader, he is from a wealthy family, and he is the Grand Duke of Moscow. His influence is very great. Now that he has just occupied Siberia, rebuilding Siberia and integrating the Slavs into the Ming Dynasty system will be a complicated task.
For a huge project, if Wolkan helps, it will definitely reduce a lot of troubles. Keeping Wolkan by your side will allow you to utilize his talents on the one hand, and supervise him on the other, killing two birds with one stone.
In short, people like Wolkan should be used if they can be used. If they cannot be used, they must not be allowed to leave the field of vision and beyond control. When necessary, they must be eliminated.
Based on Elizabeth's life experience, she knows how capable people like Wolkan are. Back then, Yelu Yujian and Yelu Dashi held up half of the sky of Daliao. Yelu Dashi even sat in Xijing and was as stable as a rock. Even without Tie Mo
Elizabeth will still control Wolkan. If Wolkan refuses the proposal, although it is a pity, she doesn't mind killing him now.
The living room was very quiet. Two guards were standing inside the door. Only breathing could be heard. Volkan didn't reply for a long time. Elizabeth put down the bronze sword and said with a smile, "Lord Volkan, have you thought about it?
If you agree, it will be beneficial to countless Slavic people."
This sentence contained mostly threatening elements, which was tantamount to clarifying his attitude. Volkan could refuse, but at the same time it would also affect the life and death of many Slavic people. At this moment, Volkan smiled bitterly and tensed
Her body instantly relaxed a little. She is indeed the governor's woman. Her gentleness is not lacking in iron-blooded skills. "The governor and the princess value me so much. I am so honored that I dare not disobey you. Don't worry, princess, I will do my best."
, help the supervisor sort out Siberian affairs."
Elizabeth was really relieved that Wolkan could agree. It would be a pity if a talent like Wolkan could not be used by me. "That's very good. On behalf of the supervisor, I welcome you to join us. From now on
From now on, Lord Volkan will be our humerus minister in the Siberian region of the Ming Dynasty. Tomorrow, the Japanese princess will host a banquet for the nobles in the city at the Red God Church, and will introduce Lord Volkan to everyone."
As Elizabeth spoke, Volkan smiled bitterly. After tomorrow's banquet, he, Volkan, will become the biggest "traitor" in Siberia. The Orientals are trying to establish him as a great traitor.
Role model, life is always so helpless. Faced with the situation at hand, I can't die even if I want to. The next day at the Red God Church, when it was approaching Unity Time, people gathered around the church. Not only the nobles were present, but many ordinary people also gathered here. After passing
After the Porridge Shed Incident, the Slavs became less alienated from the Northern Shanxi Army and became more friendly. Everyone wanted to see the peerless style of the old tsarist princess.
Unity hour came, the sun set, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the Red God Church, and the fire-like color blended with the surrounding buildings. Elizabeth was dressed in a lotus-colored dress, and her behavior was noble and elegant. Since it was a grand banquet, she took off her military uniform.
Dressing up a royal lady in the city. Setting up the banquet at the Red God Church was also a well-thought-out decision. In the past, the church was sacred and inviolable. Elizabeth wanted to use the banquet to trample the church under her feet and further undermine the church's influence among the people.
force.
With the arrival of Elizabeth, the surrounding Slavic people slowly knelt down. The nobles had no choice but to kneel down. Volkan was beside Elizabeth. Seeing countless people kneeling on the ground, he felt really sad.
It's not a good feeling. Elizabeth raised the corner of her mouth, smiled slightly, and said with profound meaning, "Master Volkan, don't you understand now? For these ordinary people, all they want is to live a good life. As for
It makes no difference whether the place where you live is called Russia or Ming Dynasty."
Volkan had to admit that what Elizabeth said made sense, because the facts were right in front of him. Because Elizabeth asked everyone to deliberately make friendly gestures, the banquet slowly became lively. The Eastern generals were kind and the nobles no longer
As scared as before, bold people have begun to build friendships. As a result, translators have become the busiest group of people. Shang Kexi has a strange expression and deals with those Slavic nobles with neither salt nor indifference. It is not that he dislikes them.
These Slavs really don't like this kind of banquet. If Tie Mo hadn't made an explanation in advance, he would have left long ago.
In the middle of the banquet, Elizabeth raised her hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and walked lightly to the high platform, "Today I want to tell you some good news. After the consideration of the supervisor, Lord Wolkan has been specially appointed as Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
, Agent for Siberian Property”.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Shang Kexi and others all rolled their eyes. Wolkan, a foreigner, suddenly became the Minister of Household Affairs and was responsible for financial issues. Doesn't that mean that in the future, food, grass and baggage will depend on Wolkan's face?
?Since the governor came to power, the power of the imperial court has gradually returned to the cabinet, but it is the six ministries that specifically implement cabinet decisions.
Among the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty, the first one is the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. One is responsible for official promotions, and the other is responsible for money, food and property. In comparison, the group of big bosses in the Ministry of War are inferior. Li Wanqing is even more unconvinced. I miss him Li Wanqing.
After conquering here and there and accumulating achievements to this day, he actually wants to salute Wolkan. Isn’t this a slap in the face?
Geng Zhongming thought more. He knew very well that the Minister of Household Affairs was definitely not appointed by the imperial court. In other words, the appointment of the governor to officials was not approved by the imperial court at all. It was typical to kill first and report later.
He thought a lot in his mind, but Geng Zhongming didn't say anything. In his opinion, this might not be a bad thing.
The Slavic nobles were equally surprised. They didn't understand what the position of the Minister of Household Affairs was, but the Siberian treasurer still figured it out. This is a fatal position. Easterners are really courageous. For a time, the nobles were divided into
There are two factions. Some people envy Volkan's strong luck and admire the courage of the Eastern Governor. The other faction competes with Volkan and feels that Volkan is the biggest traitor in Siberia.
In any case, with Elizabeth standing here, everyone offered congratulations, and Volkan could only deal with it. At this moment, a scream suddenly broke out from the Red God Church. About a dozen Slavs came towards
They pounced on Wolkan, and one of them even shouted angrily, "Wolkan, you traitor, I will kill you today."
A sudden assassination caused panic in the banquet. Looking at the noisy scene in the church, Elizabeth seemed very calm. After such a commotion, Wolkan could never look back. Someone came to ruin the banquet, and it didn't matter at all.
It's not surprising that there are always some die-hards who don't understand the situation clearly, so they might as well take the opportunity of the banquet to wipe out all these chaotic parties.
As some people caused trouble in the church, something happened among the people on the street outside. Some people began to besiege the Red God Church with various weapons. Their intention was very obvious, which was to seize the Red God Church and destroy the people inside.
All the people were wiped out. Suddenly, Wang Zuoguan came to Elizabeth's side. He squinted his eyes and looked like an old monk in trance, "Tsk, tsk, these idiots really showed up. Although the bait is good,
But if the appetite is not big enough, it is easy for the stomach to burst."
These so-called rebellious parties were naturally the result of Volkan's trapping and killing of the captains and hard-line nobles. When Volkan killed the hard-line representatives who refused to surrender, the soldiers and horses under those people remained.
When the Northern Jin Army entered the city, these people did not dare to do anything due to pressure, but the banquet held in the Red God Church allowed them to see an opportunity. They felt that all the main figures of the Oriental people gathered in the church, and if the arrangement was proper, these people could be
Kill it in one fell swoop.
Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity, but Elizabeth is not a fool. Can she not see the danger involved? The Red God Church is a purgatory execution ground. As for who it will become, it depends on the method.
As the riots broke out, Wolkan's face was gloomy, with unbearable and sad eyes. They could not succeed. The Red God Church was a huge trap. As Wolkan expected, as more and more people
People attacked the Red God Church. Alarm bells rang in the city. At the same time, rumbles of footsteps were heard in the church. Many soldiers from the Ruifeng Battalion rushed down the corridor stairs and guarded Elizabeth. It turned out that Elizabeth had already prepared. In order to take precautions,
The ambush was placed in the church early. They hid in the house until something happened, and then rushed out.
Now under attack from both inside and outside, the rebels all became turtles in the urn. What happened next was no surprise. The rebels could not stop the Northern Shanxi Army from strangulating them. What's more, many angry Slavic people also helped, and a rebellion soon broke out.
They would be suppressed. Elizabeth showed no mercy to these rebels and directly called Shang Kexi to her. "All those who participated in the rebellion will be killed. An order was issued. From now on, whoever dares to rebel against the party will be killed."
, kill the whole family."
"Well" Shang Kexi himself was a bloodthirsty and violent person, and it was easy for him to do this kind of thing. A total of more than a thousand rebels died in groups in the square in front of the Red God Church.
Heads rolled down, and blood stimulated everyone's eyeballs. It was a sad night. The Slavs in South Tomsk once again saw the bloody methods of the Orientals. The Orientals were not only kind, but also cruel. Elizabeth's actions
The combination of carrot and stick completely shocked the people in South Tomsk.
In mid-August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, after settling the affairs of South Tomsk City, Elizabeth, Volkan and others set out for New Nicholas City. Returning to New Nicholas City, they clearly felt something different.
, the streets are cleaner and brighter, giving people a much wider feeling. There is an endless stream of pedestrians, but they are very orderly. In the manor, Tie Mo smiled like a spring breeze and looked leisurely. When Wolkan saw Wolfrey, his expression changed.
Incredibly complex.
Warfrey was also a little embarrassed. Frey was Yeltsin's most loyal subordinate, but the result was good. One of them looked like an Oriental and sacrificed the city of South Tomsk, while the other simply took Yeltsin's life. The fact is really ironic.
Tie Mo was really afraid that Volkan would get angry and kill Wofre directly, so he made peace with him as soon as he came up, "Lord Volkan, Lord Wofre is now in the Caucasus, and many things there will depend on Wofre in the future."
Frey is in charge. So, no matter what past festivities there were, they will be written off today and will not be mentioned again in the future. Of course, Grand Duke Yeltsin is a respectable hero, and the governor will order him to be buried with the courtesy of a prince."
