Chapter 769 Poison under honey

After hearing that Jérôme Bonaparte refused to let him return to Algiers to settle, Abdul Qadir’s expression froze, and it could be seen that he was still somewhat dissatisfied that he could not return to Algiers.

Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte sneered and said to Abdul Qadir: “Mr Qadir, do you still have the idea of ​​returning to Algiers to become an enemy of France? ”

“Your Majesty, of course not!” Abdul Kadir flatly denied, “Since I was defeated by the imperial army, I have sworn to God that I will never be an enemy of France!”

“Then Mr. Qadir, are you willing to accept this condition?” Jerome Bonaparte then asked Abdul Qadir.

“Your Majesty, I promise you that I will not step into Algiers for the rest of my life!” Abdul Kadir immediately assured Jerome Bonaparte.

Up to now, Abdul Kadir knows that he has no capital to negotiate at all. Only by obeying the emperor in front of him can he get out of prison.

“Mr. Kadir, you have made a correct decision!” Jerome Bonaparte snapped his fingers.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Persini, who was standing by the side, to release Abdul Qadir.

“But, Your Majesty…” Pesini did not obey Jerome Bonaparte’s order, he was afraid that Abdul Kadir might cause harm to Jerome Bonaparte.

Facing Pesini’s hesitation, Jerome Bonaparte said with a cold snort, “I believe that M. Kadir is a reasonable person, he should know that even if he kills me, the problem of Algiers There will be no improvement!

On the contrary, he and Algiers will both be in danger!

am I right! Mr. Kadir! ”

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte turned his eyes to Abdul Kadir with a smile on his lips.

“Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely correct!” Abdul Kadi nodded, then turned his eyes to Pesini and swore: “Minister Pesini, I can swear to God that I will never do anything to His Majesty. Do anything outrageous!”

“Open it!” Pessini issued an order to the warden beside him.

The warden had no choice but to take off the key hanging from his waist and open Abdul Kadir’s cell door.

Abdou Kadir, who witnessed the opening of the prison door, showed an excited expression on his face, and then rushed out of the prison under the panicked eyes of Pessini and the warden, and came to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Your Majesty!” Abdul Kadir knelt in front of Jerome Bonaparte with a “pop” and said with tears in his eyes, “Thank you for your kindness, which allowed me to escape this dark prison!”

Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte lightly patted Abdul Kadir on the shoulder and said, “Get up! Let’s talk in another place!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!” Abdul Qadir quickly stood up and said to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Man, I’ll take it away first!” Jerome Bonaparte turned around and said to the warden, “In a few days, you will receive a release summons from the court!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!” the warden replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

His Majesty the Emperor personally came to pick up someone, how dare he, a small prison warden, dare to stop him.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte, Pessini, and Abdou Kadir left the prison in a carriage under the watchful eye of the warden.

Pessini in the carriage asked Jérôme Bonaparte whether he was going to the Ministry of the Interior or the Tuileries.

“The Tuileries Palace!” Jerome Bonaparte responded sullenly.

The carriage galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the Tuileries Palace.

Jérôme Bonaparte, Pessini, and Abdou Kadir got off the carriage one by one, and then walked slowly into the hall of the Tuileries Palace.

“Your Majesty!” Seeing this, Mocar in the hall hurriedly came to Jerome Bonaparte and bowed.

“Mocar, go make a pot of tea and bring it to my study!” Jerome Bonaparte immediately gave an order to Mocar.

“Yes!”

After Mocar quickly went to make tea, the three of Jerome Bonaparte entered the study.

……

“Sit down! Mr. Qadir!” Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting on the sofa in the study, pointed to the sofa beside him and said to Abdul Qadir.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Abdul Kadir responded quickly, then sat down on the sofa.

Then Jerome Bonaparte told Abdul Kadir that the reason why he took him out of prison in advance was to ask Kadir to do something for him.

“Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?” Abdul Qadir asked decisively.

“I hope to issue an order in your name to the guerrillas in Algiers who are still resisting, as long as they put down their weapons and surrender immediately, the imperial army… ah no! The French army can guarantee the safety of their lives and property!” M. Bonaparte to Abd al-Qadir.

Although the large-scale resistance in Algiers has disappeared, sporadic resistance still exists.

Jerome Bonaparte hopes that Abdul Qadir’s influence will completely quell the rebellion in Algiers.

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte’s words, Abdul Kadir immediately realized that Jerome Bonaparte was planning to let him, the hero of Algiers and the “Emile” of Oran Province, act as a traitor.

If Abdul Qadir is really willing to make this announcement, then many small rebel groups who regard Abdul Qadir as a hero will face the situation of broken faith.

An organization with broken beliefs degenerates much faster than an organization without beliefs.

It is conceivable that once Abdul Qadir issues this order, there will be another large-scale defection frenzy in Algiers.

Those two devils who took refuge in France treated their Algerian compatriots more madly than the French devils.

However, Jerome Bonaparte’s request was within the expectations of Abdul Qadir.

The reason why he was released by Jerome Bonaparte was not because of his own united front value.

Eight years in prison have wiped out all of Abdul Qadir’s ambitions, and now he just wants to get out of prison.

“Your Majesty, I can promise you!” Abdul Kadir replied to Jerome Bonaparte, “However, I can’t guarantee how many people will surrender!”

“Don’t worry!” Jerome Bonaparte replied confidently to Abdul Qadir, “I will issue an order at the same time as you have issued this order!”

Abdul Qadir hurriedly asked Jerome Bonaparte what order he wanted to issue.

Jerome Bonaparte told Abdul Qadir that he would propose to the Legislative Council to improve the indigenous population of Algiers and the promotion of Algiers in France after Abdul Qadir’s decree status proposal.

That is, the residents of Algiers are allowed to participate in the French army and government agencies, and even immigrate to France. For Algiers citizens who are willing to abide by the release of the French Empire, the Empire will give them the right to vote and participate in politics.

“After the implementation of the Act, the three provinces under Algiers will be completely the same as the other provinces in the French mainland, and the residents of Algiers who are willing to obey the laws of the French Empire will enjoy the same rights as the residents of France!” Jerome. Bonaparte to Abd al-Qadir.

As soon as these words came out, Abdul Kadir immediately knelt in front of Jerome Bonaparte and thanked Jerome Bonaparte: “Your Majesty, I thank you for the residents of Algiers!”

Although it is said that Jerome Bonaparte’s proposal respects the laws of the French Empire and the Islamic law conflict with each other, but Jerome Bonaparte is simply too merciful compared to the previous kings.

The residents of Algiers during the Kingdom of Orleans would be slaughtered and exterminated if they disobeyed a little.

The current Algiers residents only need to give up part of their beliefs to gain the value of the United Front. Such advice is simply not a good idea!

“Nothing!” Jerome Bonaparte smiled and said to Abdou Kadir: “Algiers has deep feelings in the heart of France! I hope that the residents of Algiers and France can unite closely together. , to defend against foreign enemies together!”

“Your Majesty, I assure you that the inhabitants of Algiers will always be loyal to you!” Abdul Kadir replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly~www.readmtl.com~ He doesn’t believe in nonsense like eternal loyalty, he only believes in interests.

He believes that once the proposal is implemented, the middle-class residents and some tribal leaders who live in the coastal cities of Algiers will quickly break with the residents of the inland areas of Algiers and join the arms of France.

After all, only the poor will care about their beliefs, and those who are a little richer will consider how to improve their united front value.

Algiers, which could still be united, will be completely torn apart by Jerome Bonaparte, and France can rely on those who are inclined to take refuge in France to suppress those who are unwilling to submit to French rule.

However, considering that the population in the coastal areas of Algiers is insufficient compared with the scattered tribal population in the inland areas, the introduction of migrant workers into Algiers will also become an imperative.

Of course, the return population that Jerome Bonaparte needs must meet either of the two conditions of Catholicism and non-believers, and they must also be obedient.

Throughout Europe, there is nothing more suitable than the lovely Italians and Austrians (here refers to Hungary and Croatia under the Austrian Empire), they will become France’s best right-hand man, helping France to jointly suppress obstacles Opposition to French rule.

At this time, Abdul Qadir, who was full of waiting to be pardoned, did not know what Jerome Bonaparte was thinking.

And even if he knew, he didn’t have the courage to fight.

After all, the power of France is really terrifying!
