One hundred and six, grasp the big and let go of the small
Marbury has too many things to worry about, not only to appease the local forces in Tianzhu, but also to fight and suppress, and to appease the need to appease, the British are the rulers in Tianzhu, but they are not the rulers of the majority, and they have no intention of really developing Tianzhu, just thinking about sucking blood for their own use, as long as there is no chaos in the local area, the taxes on the governor's side can be collected, and the agricultural products and low-grade industrial products in the territory under the direct jurisdiction can be collected, If these items are shipped to East Asia or sold back to Europe, he, the viceroy of India, will be as stable as a rock, and he will not have to worry about anything at all.
But this could not be maintained for now, Marbury rubbed his eyes tiredly, and the southwestern provinces began to be a little impatient because of the rebellion in Champang, which was not manifested in direct rebellion, but in the difficulty of collecting taxes, and the governors of many provinces wrote to Marbury to explain that the levy on his side was in the face of the local natives' immorality and various passive resistance.
Now Tianzhu is already messy enough, actually the Chinese are still crawling around like bed bugs at this time, although there is no actual destruction, no large-scale burning, and no attack on that relatively large city, but it is always a little annoying, and in such a situation where all the places are bad, the figure of the Chinese always appears, which is completely suddenly annoying.
"Lord Governor, these Chinese are very cautious," the secretary took a map of Tianzhu to Marbury, marked with a few red dots, "these are the towns that the Chinese have attacked, I have already written them down, it is obvious that they do not have any rules," the red dots were drawn together with red lines, "there is no regular route." ”
Marbury put on his glasses and looked at it carefully, the lines on it seemed to be a chaotic combination of several sharp and strange triangles, indeed as the secretary said, there was no law, "These damn Chinese, what are they going to do?" Will the towns they are attacking affect our rule over Tianzhu? ”
"At present, there will be a little impact," the secretary said helplessly, "Although the cities we have occupied are not traffic fortresses, and there are no large logistical reserves, it is true that these towns have been attacked, and to a certain extent, our traffic has been stagnant and unsmooth." ”
"If it's not a big problem, then I can tolerate his continued existence."
"Your Excellency, do you mean," the secretary hurriedly asked, "do you want to continue to let these Chinese wander?" ”
"These people are very clear about their status and understand that they are not willing to confront us head-on," Marbury said slowly, at this time the sky has slowly glowed with dark red morning light, the sky is about to dawn, intimate and loyal Indian servants who do not sleep all night to serve, hurriedly sent Marbury's favorite Darjeeling black tea, Marbury took a sip of tea, began to cheer up a little, "They are these people, if I give up the local rebellion, to solve these wandering Chinese, Then even if they crawl around like bed bugs, they can quickly crush them, but now if you give up the local rebellion, especially the containment and attack on the side of Chhansip, then you will completely lose the focus and focus of Tianzhu's governance, the Chinese came later than our British, it is impossible to stay longer in the Tianzhu continent, it is very simple to solve the Chinese, as long as I hand over Madrid Sihan immediately, they will immediately retreat, do you believe? They simply do not dare to go to war head-on with our British Empire. ”
"But I will not release Madrid Sihan at all now, he is related to our important chess piece for the political and diplomatic dynamic layout of Tianzhu and East Asia, he must not make any mistakes, in this case, we must first abandon the Chinese, temporarily abandon the unimportant enemy, and concentrate on attacking the enemy that we need to solve the most, this is the right way, now the people in Tianzhu are looking to see if we have any way to deal with the rebellion, if we can't achieve any victory in Chhansip, They will soon abandon us, and at that point, we will have to spend a lot of energy sorting out local relations. ”
So although this governor is the most prominent and majestic governor position in the colonies of the British Empire, but in fact it is also the most complicated position, Marbury decided to give up the plan to concentrate troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese, in his opinion, these Chinese are just some noble children who come here for hunting outings, and there is no need to spend too much thought to deal with them at this stage, and this wave of Chinese is obviously very knowledgeable, unwilling to offend the British very much, knowing that the opponent who advances and retreats does not need to care too much, So Marbury decided that at this time he thought it was very wise and wise, but later regretted most of his life: "We only need to continue to send a team of men to supervise and follow them, if we can catch up with the best, if it really can't, then we must keep track of their movements, and tell the governors of the provinces to be careful against these Chinese," the Chinese did not indiscriminately kill innocents against the British on the non-battlefield, which is also the reason for Marbury to tolerate the existence of the Chinese to a certain extent," heightened vigilance. ”
"Then the Governor means that we should immediately settle the rebellion in Champang?"
"Absolutely right, we must use the most cruel means and the fastest speed to resolve the rebellion in Champang, so that those lowly races who dare to rebel against our British Empire will understand that there is only one way to die if they resist us." Marbury said such a sentence lightly, but his tone was full of murderous intent, and the Indian servants who were kneeling on the ground and serving on the side couldn't help but tremble slightly when they heard this, "Tell dear Charlie that it's time for him to come out and flex his muscles, and the bravest warrior of the British Empire, the eugenics of the Royal Army Academy, can come to my aid." ”
Marbury's decision to abandon the Chinese and concentrate on dealing with the rebellion in Champan was an invisibly relaxed atmosphere for Xue Pan and others, who had marched on the Tianzhu Plateau and had not confronted the British for several years.
In these days in Tianzhu, although the identity still belongs to the foreign population, but the local situation has been almost touched, many students in Xian'an Palace have been protesting against Xue Pan's continuous march in the wild, and occasionally breaking through the town and not entering the rest of the mode of the bitter march, but Xue Pan still does not agree to go too comfortable.
