Volume 16 Chapter 12 Coming to the door

In November, the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia was quite cold, but Rozov's heart was colder than the weather, and when he received news from the Far East, he finally understood that he had been tricked by Richelieu, and it was quite serious.

The reaction speed of the Ming Empire exceeded his imagination, and the violentness of the reaction of the Ming Empire was also beyond his imagination, just a sneak attack on a border guard, and the Ming Empire actually organized millions of troops to counterattack!

Moreover, the speed of the assembly was terrifying, and it was completed in less than a month; The speed of advancement is even faster and frightening, in less than three months, it has advanced more than 4,000 miles!

Do you want to be so fierce? At this rate, in the four or five months after the ice and snow melt next year, won't the Ming Empire be going to hit the imperial capital!

At the beginning, he advocated war with the Ming Empire, and now Siberia has been defeated by the Ming Empire, and the other nobles in the imperial capital are ready to move, ready to overturn him to the ground and seize his power.

He can only brag hard, saying what kind of strategic retreat is this, not only to recapture the Siberian Plateau in the coming year, but even to unite the powers, defeat the Ming Empire, and fight to the Ming Empire itself!

In fact, he didn't know at all in his heart, whether he could push back the Ming Empire and keep the Siberian Plain.

With more than 200,000 horses gathered in the Far East, it is basically difficult to defeat the Ming Empire, what should I do?

This time he was really miserable by Richelieu, if it weren't for the fact that this old fox was inducing and stuffing money, how could he be hot-headed for a moment and run to poke the super hornet's nest of the Ming Empire.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he simply rushed to Paris with a group of cronies to find Richelieu theory.

Richelieu was self-absorbed at this time, and the Ming Empire was really dragged down by Tsarist Russia.

Under his mediation, the Persian Safavid Empire adopted delaying tactics, every time the Ming Empire sent envoys to ask, they said that they wanted to discuss, and this discussion came and went for half a year, the Eurasian railway was still not built, and the Ming Empire did not take any tough measures.

Sometimes, he himself admired his ingenuity, and with a little trickery, he dragged the powerful Ming Empire, and now, the French army has been half completed, and the development of the steamship has been successful, and in another year or two, he will be able to lead the anti-Habsburg coalition to clean up Spain, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and even the Ming Empire!

Just when he was triumphant, a courier came from Calais that Rozov, the prime minister of Tsarist Russia, came to the door and was very angry.

For this, Richelieu had already guessed that only one Tsarist Russia could overthrow the Ming Empire, which is strange!

How powerful the Ming Empire is now, in the face of the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, one of the top two is easy, and even Britain, France and the Netherlands may not have done it together, if Tsarist Russia wants to be able to overthrow them, doesn't that mean that Tsarist Russia is also capable of overturning Britain, France and the Netherlands, is it possible? It's not possible at all!

From the beginning, he knew that Tsarist Russia would not be able to withstand the Ming Empire, but Tsarist Russia was vast, and according to the general speed of advancement, with tens of millions of square kilometers of land in Siberia, Tsarist Russia could withstand at least five years, and at that time, the anti-Habsburg alliance had already developed.

In other words, what if Tsarist Russia was overthrown by the Ming Empire five years later? Wouldn't the Ming Empire be even more powerful and terrifying!

Richelieu has long been prepared for this, he will not let Tsarist Russia be overturned by the Ming Empire, and at the critical moment, he still has a backhand.

In the face of the menacing Rozov, he still behaved lightly, and even prepared a table as lavish as last time to welcome Rozov again in the Duke's Palace.

Rozov's mood at this time was very different from last time, last time he ate with relish, but this time he felt the same taste as chewing wax, if it wasn't for the need to maintain an aristocratic demeanor, he would probably be crazy on the spot.

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, under the warm hospitality of Richelieu, Rozov could only endure his temperament and accompany the old fox to eat slowly.

During the banquet, Richelieu was like a nobody, through the translation, rambling with him nonsense, just not mentioning the affairs of the Ming Empire.

Rozov is on fire in his heart, there is no excuse, you have nothing to do, I am about to be killed by you, pretend, continue to pretend, and I will settle accounts with you after eating.

Finally, at the end of the dinner, Richelieu still invited him to the study to chat as he did last time.

Rozov naturally followed with a gloomy face, even if Richelieu didn't keep it this time, he would stay and settle accounts with this old fox!

When he came to the study, Richelieu still had a bad expression on his face, ready to talk to him, but Rozov interrupted unceremoniously: "Your Royal Highness, don't you think it's immoral to deceive your allies like this?" “

Richelieu pretended to have an innocent expression and asked inexplicably: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this, when did I deceive my allies?" “

Luo Zov said coldly: "You haven't deceived your allies yet, how can you explain the matter of the Ming Empire?" “

Richelieu still pretended to be innocent and said: "What's wrong with the Ming Empire, haven't we discussed it?" “

When Rozov heard this, he was so angry that he said angrily: "What kind of discussion, you are naked deception!" “

When Richelieu heard this, his face turned blank, and he said coldly: "Prime Minister, you have to be responsible for what you say, what did I deceive you?" Didn't we provide for military spending? Didn't we provide food and grass? Didn't we supply weapons? We even got the 200,000 muskets we had negotiated for you a few months in advance, and you still say that I deceived you? “

Rozov choked to death by his words, only blaming himself for being too greedy for money at the beginning, and was moved by ten boxes of gold, and even agreed with them to stab the super hornet's nest of the Ming Empire, now it's okay, according to the terms of the agreement, Richelieu really has no place to deceive him, and he should give everything he should give, but the Ming Empire is too fierce, and they can't stand it at all!

He said angrily: "Your Royal Highness, you have indeed given all the things, but you didn't tell me that the Ming Empire was so powerful, three months, less than three months, they organized a million troops in the Far East, all the way from the Lena River Valley to the Yeni River Valley, we have lost most of the territory of the Far East!" “

When Richelieu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, he knew that Tsarist Russia would definitely not be able to defeat the Ming Empire, but he didn't expect the Ming Empire to be so ferocious, it advanced four or five thousand miles in three months, what kind of speed is this, even if there is no resistance at all, it will take three months to run just four or five thousand miles!

Also, a million army, how is it possible, when a million army does not need to eat, it is not bad to be able to prepare the grain and grass of a million army in three months, and it has been assembled and advanced for four or five thousand miles? This kid can't be here to slander me!
