Fox of France

"How could this be?" Joseph felt a little numb for a while.

"Sure enough, poor people must have something to hate. If this country with big waves doesn't die, it's really unreasonable! This is so special, isn't it just a whole natural mage Tang who is worse than a devil? Keqin?" Joseph couldn't help thinking in his heart.

"In fact, among the people who participated in our uprising this time, there were quite a few nobles, and a large reason why they participated in the uprising was that they felt that the Russian laws were too lenient for them to squeeze the serfs." Dombrowski, who simply broke the jar, simply made it clearer.

"But that's not what Mr. Verbicki told me last time." Joseph said.

"Mr. Bonaparte, Wibicki... he is a city man, and he left Poland very early. His time in France and Italy was much longer than in Poland. Some things, I guess he also not sure."

"It's already a miracle that the Polish serfs and people at the bottom didn't directly join your enemies to attack you, just like the peasants in Sardinia! And what kind of people are you in this team, even what is your own country like? I don’t even know, but I’m actually one of the leaders, this, isn’t this too much like baking (K) steamed (M) buns (T)?” Joseph thought this way, but said in his mouth: “If this is the case, then Dong Your career is going to be really tough, Mr. Brofsky. Well, now let me ask you a question."

"Excuse me, may I ask..." Dombrowski hurriedly said.

"Who do you plan to rely on in the future to restore the country?" Joseph asked, "Do you rely on the landlords and nobles of your country, or rely on the bottom? Which way do you plan to go?"

"What's the difference between the two paths?" Dombrowski asked.

"If you take the road of relying on the nobles, you can only protect the interests of these nobles to gain their support. However, they are all people with land. You know, although the priest has a donkey, the church has no legs. And to keep the church, they have to compromise with the invaders. So unless your struggle has been going from one victory to the next, otherwise, as long as you suffer a little setback, someone will definitely go to the church in order to keep their own church. Colluding with the invaders. I think, you must have such things in this uprising, right?" Joseph said.

Dombrowski nodded grimly. The fact is that when the rebel army began to suffer military setbacks, internal problems immediately occurred. Insiders are everywhere, sometimes you tell a joke at a military meeting to liven up the atmosphere; the next day the same joke will appear intact at the military meeting chaired by Suvorov.

"Of course, they won't really sell you out, and they will even support you to make trouble from time to time, so that the invaders will realize that it will cost money and effort to rule Poland by their own strength. It is better to entrust Poland to the rule of those Polish nobles. As long as the Polish nobles can pay them taxes on time, they can tolerate Poland having a certain 'autonomy', and they may even have an agent who is essentially their agent. An independent government'. Anyway, they know that under the rule of these Polish nobles, Poland must always be a weak country, and there is no threat to them at all."

Obviously, such a result is not what Dombrowski wants. So he asked again: "What about relying on the people at the bottom?"

"Ah, relying on the people at the bottom? That requires a big determination." Joseph said with a smile, "Have you seen the French revolution? Compared with your country's nobles, our nobles are quite enlightened, but During the revolution, these aristocrats were still killed. If you don’t have the determination to send feudal aristocrats to the guillotine like France, then this road is still worthless.”

Dombrowski was silent. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Isn't there a third way for both parties to compromise?"

"The third way, why is this term so familiar?" Joseph couldn't help thinking, "But this kind of unwillingness to give anything and want everything will not lead to good results anyway. But , anyway, Big Bobo is just an object to be used. If they don’t make progress, then what does it matter to me? Well, to use the saying in the Bible: ‘I am not guilty of that man’s blood.’”

After thinking this way, Joseph said: "I don't know if there is a third way, maybe you can find it yourself. The only two ways I know are the two ways just mentioned. Of course, the choice of the way is For a major issue, you can go back to the dormitory to discuss it with everyone and think about it slowly. We can also provide different training for different paths.”

The conversation ended here. Dombrowski returned to the residence and conveyed Joseph's meaning to the hundred people who followed him here, and then aroused a lot of excitement among the hundred people. A big debate.

The next day, Dombrowski told Joseph that they hadn't been able to finalize the discussion yet, so more time was needed. But Joseph is not in a hurry, anyway, board and lodging fees are charged every day.

The debate lasted for two full days among the Poles. In the end, the group of Poles split into two parts. One part advocated relying on the Polish nobles to maintain Polish traditions. They were the majority, with more than 90 people; More than a dozen people below think that we should take the road of relying on the people at the bottom.

Interestingly, most of the former faction, that is, the majority faction, are from Poland, while the latter faction are mainly foreign students who have studied in France for a long time. Obviously they are more influenced by France, but I am afraid they may not really understand the situation in Poland itself.

It is said that at the time of the formal split, Verbicki, a representative of the latter faction, held the hand of his former good friend, but stood on the side of the "reactionary feudal aristocracy" Dombrowski, and said something like this One sentence: "Yang, this is the last time we shake hands, we can't talk about going together, see you on the battlefield from now on!"

So the Poles who came together were divided into two groups to learn different technical means.

Strictly speaking, the Dombrowski faction does not completely support the reactionary feudal aristocracy. In fact, more people in his faction are like him, hoping for the so-called "third way" . Joseph did not point out the "third way" to them, so they spent two days conceiving a so-called "new way" by themselves.

They mainly learned various assassination methods, because the "new way" they envisioned was to continuously increase the cost of the direct rule of the three countries of Russia, Prussia and Austria in Poland through this "low-cost" resistance, thus forcing them to adopt the method of mandate rule. The method is to hand over part of the rights to the Poles, and then gradually realize the autonomy of Poland, and gradually accumulate strength. If the world changes in the future-although Joseph said that Poland is not included in France's peace request, but if France When peace is achieved with other countries, other countries have been severely weakened, so does Poland have a chance?

Of course, Dombrowski also knew that if Poland did not carry out reforms, even if Poland was lucky enough to return to the country for a while, the future would be quite bleak. But when Poland becomes independent, those nobles are not completely unreasonable, and they should agree with everyone to carry out reforms. For example, the land issue can be redeemed by the state; another example is social reform, which can also be done slowly. Back then, Russia was as feudal and backward, but through the reforms of Peter the Great and Empress Catherine, didn't it also become a powerful country? So, it seems, the third way is really possible. And the French way, is really...

As for the people in Wibicki's group, they believe that the so-called "third way" of Dombrowski is essentially to safeguard the interests of the reactionary feudal aristocracy and their desire to oppress and enslave the Polish people. right. The so-called "future reform" is nothing but a self-defeating lie. Now, in the face of the pressure that the country has already perished, we still cannot make up our minds to carry out reforms, so how can we carry out reforms after we are lucky enough to return to the country? As for the pursuit of "self-government" first, that is collusion with the aggressors, which is simply an act of treason! And those nobles who can harm the country for their own interests are originally Polish traitors, but they rely on these people, that is, they are running dogs for traitors! Therefore, the people of the Wibicki faction believe that if the revolution in Poland is to succeed, not only the aristocrats must be guillotined, but also the lackeys of these aristocrats must be guillotined.

There are quite a few people in Verbitsky's faction, but their learning tasks are even heavier. In addition to learning various reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills, they also have to learn organization building and propaganda and agitation. Joseph even arranged for them to go to Italy for an internship to assist Napoleon's Italian Legion in building a "democratic autonomous region" in the controlled area. The training of various combat skills should be learned later. However, Joseph is not very optimistic about the future of the two factions.

"But it's nothing, it's just cannon fodder anyway."

The Poles were thus settled in training camp, but there was a serious split among them. As for the subsequent impact, um, of course, there was an extensive and profound struggle in Poland. Later, Joseph quoted this sentence very pretendingly: "I did not come to bring peace on the earth, but to bring swords on the earth. For I have come to alienate men from their fathers, daughters from their mothers, and daughters-in-law from their mothers." The mother-in-law is estranged. A man’s enemy is his own family.” At least, he did this in Poland.
