Make France Great Again

Chapter 407: Children who cry are fed by milk

"Your Excellency Shamil, no one can erase your contribution to the empire!" The special envoy first complimented the wrinkled and unshaven old man.

It has been almost 20 years since Shamil rebelled against the rule of the Russian Empire in 1834. Nearly 20 years of vicissitudes of life have made Shamil gradually transform from a young and strong young man into an old man.

Shamil can be said to have dedicated his entire life to helping the Caucasian Peace Cult tribes resist the Russian Empire.

During these nineteen years, Shamil killed and injured nearly a group of Russian soldiers. The mountain troops he led were like ghosts walking through the woods, making countless Russian soldiers stationed in the Caucasus fearful.

Shamil single-handedly shook the foundations of the Russian Empire's rule in the Caucasus.

Under Shamil's elusive mobile warfare, the logistics of the Russian Empire suffered serious damage.

These achievements were so great that even the Ottoman government had no way of ignoring them.

"Hmph! But what did you do to us! What did those guys who are entrenched in the corpse of the Ottoman Empire do to us! Where were you when we needed support the most! Where were you when we needed help the most? !" Shamil slowly stood up from his seat, walked slowly to the front of the special envoy and questioned the special envoy word by word.

Shamil's strong body, tempered by traveling around life and death, is in sharp contrast to the frail body tempered by the envoy's pampering in the rear of the Ottoman Empire.

"I..." The special envoy couldn't help but swallowed as he looked at the anti-Russian hero in front of him.

Immediately, Shamil took off the white priest's robe that covered his upper body in front of the envoy, revealing his majestic biceps and tight chest muscles.

After Shamil took off his clothes, the envoy's face gradually turned pale.

Because what was shown in front of the special envoy was a scarred body, with swords and gunshot wounds covering Shamilard's upper body.

"This was left behind when I was chased by a group of Russian soldiers in 1836!" Shamil pointed to the gunshot wound in his lower abdomen and told the special envoy: "At that time, it was still snowing in the Caucasus! I lay down on the It took more than three hours in the snow to get away from those damn Russian pursuers!”

Afterwards, Shamil pointed to another scar and said to the special envoy: "This is the wound I got stabbed by those guys when I was fighting at close range with the Cossack beasts in 1840! If it hadn't been I was lucky, I almost died there..."

Shamil told the special envoy one by one about the scars he had suffered, and the special envoy's mentality began to change from the previous visit to sympathy.

This group of guys who are not in the regular army of the Ottoman Empire fight against the Russian Empire with passion. What right does a guy who lives in the rear of the Ottoman Empire have to look down on them?

Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous thoughts.

He said he was a politician, but he was also a "patriot."

Without affecting his own interests, his patriotic enthusiasm is no less than that of anyone else.

"Mr. Special Envoy, why are we doing this? What are the reasons why my men and I risked being shot and hung to oppose the Russian Empire?" Shamil's words were full of anger.

Twenty years of constant resistance made Shamil extremely violent in his heart.

Especially after 1845, the arrival of the new military commander in the Caucasus, Mikhail Vorontsov. The arrival of this king directly led to the rapid growth of the Russian Empire in the Caucasus.

Vorontsov, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, no longer considered directly attacking the rebel strongholds, but instead surrounded them and cut off the rebels' food sources by burning crops and villages. His troops also drove rebel armed forces out of their hiding places by cutting down forests and building roads to rebel areas to facilitate the Russian army.

Between 1845 and 1853, hundreds of villages in the Caucasus were directly burned down, and many villages had no choice but to defect to the Russian Empire, hoping for the protection of the Russian Empire.

Shamilwei, whose grassroots forces were constantly being eliminated by the Russian Empire, wrote to the Ottoman Empire, asking them to help him, preferably by transporting some food and arms, and at worst, by transporting some arms.

However, none of Shamil's letters received a reply from the Ottoman Empire. When Shamil personally went to the Ottoman army to seek help, he was also attacked by Ottoman sentry soldiers on the border.

Various actions of the Ottoman Empire made Shamil even more violent. Sometimes, he wished he could kill himself and go to Constantinople to question the high-level government.

Gu Di/span If it hadn’t been for the recent period, the Russian Imperial Army would have been even more strict in its raids on the Caucasus.

Shamil would never write a letter of help to the Ottoman Empire. As a last resort, Shamil had to write to the Ottoman Empire, expecting their help.

Fortunately, this time the Ottoman Army "saw" Shamil's letter as if they had a conscience, and sent special envoys to contact them.

When receiving the special envoy, Shamil could not help but convey his negative emotions to the special envoy.

"Your Excellency Shamit, you are a qualified patriot!" Faced with Shamil's complaints, the special envoy could only try his best to appease Shamil and said: "You and your subordinates have made an indelible contribution to the Ottoman Empire. Contribute and let the invaders of the Russian Empire taste the bitterness!"

Then, the special envoy changed the topic and explained the helplessness of the empire to Shamil: "In fact, many people in the Ottoman Empire express their secret approval for your actions, but we cannot support your actions! Once the Ottoman Empire takes action, the Ottoman Empire and You will all suffer the revenge of the Russian Emperor! The Empire is based on the examination at the diplomatic level, so it is unable to provide help to you and your subordinates during that period! Please forgive me!"

"Excuse me? Can a word of forgiveness bring back the dead soldiers under my command? Can a word of forgiveness bring back the hearts and minds of the people in the Caucasus?" Shamil raised his voice and yelled at the special envoy.

"I know that no pale words can take away the pain you have suffered! If you are willing, you and your men can go to the Ottoman Empire now to repair! I guarantee that you will receive a warmer welcome than you imagined. ! Every resident of Constantinople will regard you as heroes! The petals in the sky will pave a road for you to the palace of His Majesty the Sultan, where you can meet His Majesty and the Imam, and they will give you Your blessings..." The special envoy used retreat to advance and persuaded Shamil and his men. He hoped to eliminate the hatred of this group of guys who had been struggling in "hell" for more than ten years against the empire.

As expected, under the eloquent words of the special envoy, most of Shamil's men showed a trace of fascination on their faces.

"Can we really see His Majesty the Sultan?" one of the younger Chechens asked the envoy.

"Of course! Your Majesty welcomes your arrival!" The special envoy showed a kind smile on his face, and he nodded and replied to the Chechens.

Then, the special envoy turned his attention to Shamil again, and he asked slowly: "Your Excellency Shamil, do you need to return to Constantinople to rest! If necessary, I will immediately report your situation Report to Constantinople."

As soon as the special envoy finished speaking, Shamil's subordinates all turned their attention to Shamil.

Shamil's face also showed a look of struggle, and then he also looked at the special envoy: "Mr. Special Envoy, thank you very much for your kindness! My troops and I don't need to rest now, but we need arms. With food and grass! As long as the empire can meet these two conditions of ours, that’s it!”

"On behalf of the Commander of the Caucasus Military Region, I can agree to your request!" The special envoy who heard Shamil's request responded decisively.

Immediately, Shamil and the envoy conducted a detailed review of how much arms his army needed.

After some haggling, the envoy reached an agreement with Shamil.

The Ottoman Empire was responsible for Shamil's 4,000 people's food and 3,000 muskets. Shamil needed to guarantee to the Ottoman Empire that he would cut off the supply depots in the Caucasus. Even if he could not completely cut off the supplies in the Caucasus, he would still have to let the people in the Caucasus Supplies were in trouble.

"4,000 dry rations and 3,000 muskets will be delivered to you in a week! In addition, we will also give you some additional medicine. We hope you can disrupt the Russian army's logistics as much as possible!" Special Envoy Shen He shot and said to Shamil with a smile.

Shamil glanced at the special envoy's hand. After much hesitation, he put his hand on his pants and wiped it gently twice, and then held the special envoy's hand.

After both parties felt the heat in each other's palms, they let go of each other's hands.

Later, Shamil asked the special envoy again: "Will the imperial army fight against the Russian Empire in the near future?"

The envoy smiled and responded noncommittally: "It is possible, but it depends on the Russian Empire and whether the international situation is conducive to the Ottoman Empire!"

Shamil couldn't hold back his excitement at the thought of being able to fight a decisive battle with the Russian Imperial Army. Shamil, who had been waiting for more than ten years, finally waited for the war between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

"I will do my best to destroy the supplies in the Caucasus!" Shamil once again assured the envoy.

"Your Excellency Shamil, I will wait for the good news to come from the Caucasus Army Headquarters!" The special envoy nodded and replied to Shamil.

Finally, under the escort of Shamil's men, the envoy escaped the search of the Russian Empire and returned to the border of the Ottoman Empire.
