Coaxing a daughter-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen recognized the second, it is estimated that no one will dare to admit the first, after all, with the technology of the sister hundreds of years later, if Emperor Chongzhen can't even coax Concubine Yi, it is estimated that the harem will be chaotic long ago.

Emperor Chongzhen's reason is very simple, he also likes the third Zhu Ciyi, but whether it is the ancestral system or the performance of the second prince Zhu Cihong, it proves that he will be this qualified prince.

Once Zhu Cihong is established as the crown prince, then the eldest Zhu Cixiao can still say, after all, he was crowned the king of Liao early, and what about the third Zhu Ciyi?

First crowned a king, thrown to Bavaria, and then became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and his brother was an emperor in the east and west, wouldn't it be much better than staying in Daming and being a vassal king?

As for the fight between the two countries in the east and the west over who is orthodox and even go to war in the future, Emperor Chongzhen said that he didn't care, what he could do was to turn the entire earth into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that in the future?

Anyway, this meat is rotten in the pot!

In addition to comforting Concubine Yi, Emperor Chongzhen naturally had to pamper Concubine Yuan, Luo Xiaoyu, and Jiang Ling'er.

Sometimes Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think, what is Empress Zhou doing with so many concubines? Afraid of riding a big ocean horse? I underestimate my determination!

Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who was far away in Moscow, was also in a good mood.

As the second emperor of the Romanov dynasty, Alexei Mikhailovich himself had no special hobbies, except hunting, especially falconry.

In order to satisfy his hobby of falconry, Mikhailovich ordered the construction of the Royal Falconry Field, which was always ready for hunting, and the long-term guards of the hunting ground were only about 100 people, and the annual expenditure from the state treasury was only 75,000 rubles as a management fee.

As for each hunt, from the officials to the attendants, the total is only the scale of thousands of people, even if you add carriages, bows and arrows, horses, etc., how much can it cost?

Mikhailovich felt that he was very aggrieved, he just spent such a small amount of money, and the treasury came to cry poor?

Besides, even if there is no money in the treasury, what is the big problem? What if even the peasants and merchants opposed the Tsar's Distillery?

Banned from selling alcohol for more than 180 days in a year? Can I only buy one glass of wine per person at a time? Prohibition of selling alcohol to people who are already drunk?

Can such a small problem be considered a problem? I just added a rule that "in order to help the monarch enrich the treasury, you must not expel drunken people from the liquor store", and the problem is solved?

As soon as the problem of the liquor store was solved, the old rival Poland relented to him, and even sent someone to ask him for help, which made Mihailovich's mood unprecedentedly better.

Mikhailovich is complicated about the feelings of the old Polish watch, and he doesn't know how to describe the entanglement he tells - it all starts with the death of Tsar Ivan IV.

After the death of Tsar Ivan IV, Fedor and Dimitri were left behind, and Fedor succeeded to the Tsar's throne in order of eldest and youngest.

Fydor, who was cowardly by nature and intellectually low, was forced by Ivan IV to watch the killing of the special army when he was a child, so he was frightened, and from then on he was afraid of being harmed by the special army, and hid in the monastery to pray for God's life, so he earned the nickname "The Coward Tsar".

His favorite thing to do in his life was to ring the church bells, or to watch the antics and fights of clowns in front of him, ignoring the affairs of the court and state, and the power of the state gradually became controlled by Fedor's brother-in-law, Boris Fedorovich Godonov.

Boris Godonov, a descendant of the Tatars, was a nobleman and a scheming man who married his sister to the intellectually retarded and incompetent Tsar Fedor in order to one day replace her – in fact, Godonov's plan was successful.

Just seven years after the murder of nine-year-old Dimitri, Tsar Fedor, who had no children, also died.

After Fedor's death, the struggle for the throne at the court was fierce, with two major players taking place, represented by the brothers Boris Godonov and the Romanovs.

Orthodox Archbishop Joseph climbed to the throne of archbishop with the help of Godonov, so at this time he proposed to the Council of Gentlemen that Godonov should succeed him as tsar. The Council of Gentry, controlled by Godonov, elected Boris Godonov as Tsar.

The Romanov brothers, who were the losers, were their own ancestors, who were convicted by Godonov of deliberately murdering the Tsar, and then all of them were exiled to the north.

Later, the riots of the old Polish watches began - there were two people who claimed to be Ivan IV Crown Prince Dimitri, and these two guys were all supported by the Polish old watches, and then they were close to the Polish old watches in politics.

In fact, if it had not been for the later Nizhny Novgorod merchant Kutsma Minin, who called for "a pawn of wives and hostages" "in order to liberate Moscow from the Poles and infidels" and the creation of a national volunteer army on the basis of peasant partisans, Tsarist Russia might have been doomed.

When Moscow was finally liberated, the All-Russian Gentry Conference was opened at the Cathedral of the Assumption in the Moscow Kremlin, and 50 cities sent their own representatives, with a total of 700 delegates of all ranks.

The Assembly first rejected the proposal that the kings of Poland and Sweden should be the tsars of Russia. In the end, Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov was nominated as a candidate for tsarism, and from then on the tsarist rule of the Romanovs began.

If you don't have a Polish watch, your family probably has no hope of ascending to the Tsar's throne, and in this respect, it seems that you should be grateful to those Polish watches?

But in fact, the Polish old cousins never gave up their peeps into the land of Tsarist Russia, which made them hate them to the root of their teeth.

Now that the old Polish watch has finally relented to himself and invited himself to intervene in European affairs - this is definitely a good opportunity to make up for the losses!

Mikhailovich knew that there was a terrible country in the south called the Ming Empire, and that the consequence of Tsarist Russia's countless battles in the Far East was the complete loss of a large part of the Far East.

Yes, the loss of the land that did not belong to you, but later became your own.

Numerous defeats have made Mikhailovich lose interest in continuing to fight against the Ming Empire - who knows if the Ming Empire is another Mongol Khanate, and if they are in a hurry and then make a Golden Horde, will he still go over to kiss the boots of those Tatars?

After losing interest in the Far East with the Ming Dynasty, Mikhailovich naturally set his sights on Europe.

The double-headed eagle symbol of Tsarist Russia originated from the Byzantine Empire, and its significance was to show that the empire was the king of both the east and the west, and wanted to rule the territories of Europe and Asia.

After the Byzantine Empire, which lasted for nearly a thousand years, was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks, in order to save the Orthodox Church from being destroyed, under the mediation of the church, it used marriage to marry the princess of Sofia of the Byzantine Empire to Ivan III, the Grand Duke of Moscow, so as to achieve the development of the Orthodox Church in Russia and resist the attack of the Turks.

So, it was not a normal thing for tsarist Russia to set its sights on Europe? That's to find a place for my grandmother who doesn't know how many generations!

Now that he finally had such an opportunity, Mikhailovich could not wait to summon Afanasiravlyevich Holgin-Nashkhin, the brightest diplomat and statesman of Tsarist Russia.

Just as Mihajlovich had mixed feelings for his old Polish watch, Mihajlovich had mixed feelings about Afanasiravlenjevich Holguin.

Holguin came from Opochka, where his father was a poor landowner, Pskov, who was clearly a man of vision, and he gave Holguin a good education and was fluent in Latin and German.

The brilliant and critical thinker Holguin, after Tsarist Russia intervened in the dispute between Poland and Ukraine and swallowed Ukraine, has always opposed reckless action against the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom, and has advocated reaching an agreement at the negotiating table that would be beneficial to both Tsarist Russia and Poland.

Despite acknowledging his vision for foreign affairs and his talents, Holguin's attitude toward Polish affairs made Mihailovich uncomfortable, and he even intended to "publicly relieve him of all worldly toil."

In other words, Mikhailovich intended to get Holguin out of the way, preferably to a distant monastery that towered deep in the forest.

Of course, there is this idea, and now that the Poles have been succumbed, then I still have to refer to Holguin's opinion, after all, this guy's diplomatic and political talents are really good.

In the dim light, Mikhailovich looked a little excited: "That's the news I've gotten now, Holguin, I need your help me to analyze, what should I do best for Tsarist Russia?" ”

After saying that, Mikhailovich, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but joke about Holguin's beard and rosacea: "Look, your beard has grown a little longer, and if you look at your nose again, I know that you have not been drinking less, and I guess you will have to pay a fine again." ”

Holguin smiled disapprovingly and said, "Of course, my majesty, the fine will be sent to the treasury soon."

As for what you said about Poland's invitation to Tsarist Russia to march into Europe, I don't think it's good news to be excited about. ”

Originally, he was going to slap Holguin in the face with the news of Poland's softness, but he was pulled back by Holguin's backhand in a blink of an eye, which made Mihajlovich a little difficult to accept: "Why? ”

Holguin stroked his chest and said, "My Majesty, haven't you heard of the war between the Ming Empire and the English?" Not only that, but the Ming Empire also intervened in European affairs, and they now strongly supported the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire.

If a few years earlier, when the Ming Empire had not yet entered Europe, would the Poles have succumbed as they do now? What are they doing now? Still trying to drag us into the water? ”

Although he was very unhappy about being slapped in the face by Holguin again, Mihajlovich also knew that what Holguin said was the truth, after all, he also had a certain source of information in his hand, and he was also clear about what Holguin said.

Mikhailovich, who had calmed down slightly, snorted, lit his pipe, and took a deep breath before saying: "What about your opinion?" ”

Holguin said: "Promise them, as long as they can meet our demands, then promise them." ”

After a pause, Holguin continued: "Actually, even if they don't agree to any conditions for us, we will agree to their demands and march into Europe. ”

Mikhailovich under the smoke looked a little unfathomable: "Why? As far as I know, although you have always been inclined to negotiate with the Poles, the situation is that the Poles have a request for us, so why? ”

Holguin said: "The reason is very simple, the Ming Empire has intervened in Europe. The whole of Europe will get worse and worse under the agitation of the Ming Empire, and the Ming Empire will become stronger and stronger.

Although I don't want to admit it, but the fact is that Tsarist Russia has no way to defeat the Ming Empire on the frontal battlefield, and it is even difficult to maintain balance.

The damned Ming Empire is like a monster that can't get enough to eat, they have now swallowed the Far East and set their sights on Europe, if we don't help Europe, then what about after they swallow Europe? ”

Holguin, who also lit his pipe and took a deep breath, continued: "Judging from what is known so far, the civilized countries of the whole world can now be roughly divided into four parts.

One was the Ming Empire, then the Ottoman Empire, then the whole of Europe, and then our Tsarist Russia and the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire is finished, and it is clear that that idiot can only lie on his stomach and lick his wounds now, and he does not have the courage to use force against the Ming Empire.

And the Ottoman Empire is not the Ottoman Turkey of the past, and the current Ottomans are not interested in fighting wars at all, except for silver coins.

In Europe, with the intervention and support of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire will unify Europe in a very short period of time, but at the cost of a large number of civilian deaths and a large number of silver coins used to buy arms from the Ming Dynasty.

Then, it is the Ming Empire that takes out the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire - my majesty, I dare to assure you that after losing a large number of civilians and soldiers in the war to pacify Europe, both the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire will be vulnerable opponents for the Ming Empire.

It is for this reason that I advise you to send troops to Europe, even if Poland will not promise us benefits, because to protect Europe is to protect our own security! ”

After nodding, Mikhailovich sighed and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit it, you have convinced me again." Go back and prepare for the next negotiations with the Poles. ”
